Surveillance programs initiated in response to the 1999 West Nile virus (WNV) outbreak have detected increased transmission in the northeastern United States.1 Seventeen states along the Atlantic and gulf coasts, New York City (NYC), and Washington, D.C., have conducted WNV surveillance and are reporting to CDC.1 Surveillance for WNV infection includes monitoring of mosquitoes, sentinel chicken flocks, wild birds, and potentially susceptible mammals (e.g., horses and humans).2 This report summarizes findings of this surveillance system through August 7, 2000.
Avian morbidity and mortality surveillance has identified 188 WNV-infected birds from 34 counties in four northeastern states; 111 (59%) have been reported since August 1. These include 128 birds from New York (Albany, Broome, Columbia, Dutchess, Erie, Franklin, Nassau, New York, Niagara, Onondaga, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Rensselaer, Richmond, Rockland, Schenectady, Suffolk, Ulster, Warren, Washington, and Westchester counties), 54 from New Jersey (Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Passaic, and Union counties), four from Massachusetts (Middlesex, Norfolk, and Suffolk counties), and two from Connecticut (Fairfield and Tolland counties). Infected species reported include 147 American crows (78%) and 23 blue jays (12%). Infections also have been reported in the red-tailed hawk, fish crow, house sparrow, American robin, merlin, song sparrow, Canada goose, great blue heron, northern mockingbird, eastern bluebird, cockatiel, mute swan, and yellow-rumped warbler. WNV has not been reported in sentinel chickens.
WNV also has been detected by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and/or virus isolation in 38 mosquito pools collected in New York (New York, Orange, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester counties) and one from Connecticut (Fairfield County). Thirty-five of the WNV-positive mosquito pools from New York were Culex pipiens/restuans, two were Aedes japonicus, and one was C. pipiens. The positive pool from Connecticut was C. restuans.
On August 4, 2000, the New York City Department of Health (NYCDOH) reported that a person aged 78 years from south Richmond County, hospitalized with viral encephalitis, tested positive for WNV. Cerebrospinal fluid and serum samples were positive for IgM antibody by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Confirmatory testing by plaque reduction neutralization for IgG antibody from convalescent serum is pending. The patient's symptoms began on July 20, indicating that infection had started 3 to 15 days earlier3; therefore, the infection occurred before the initial mosquito adulticide spraying in Richmond County on July 19 and 20. The patient resides in an area where WNV-infected mosquitoes and birds have been found during 2000; no WNV activity was detected in this part of the city in 1999. The patient had not traveled for more than 50 years to areas where other flaviviruses had been endemic and had not left New York during the incubation period.

CDC Editorial Note:
These data suggest an expanding zone of epizootic transmission in four northeastern states with viral activity most intense in the NYC area. The finding of WNV-positive birds in upstate New York and in Massachusetts indicates transmission foci that had not been identified during the 1999 outbreak. American crows typically do not travel long distances during the early summer, and some are permanent, nonmigratory residents of an area.4 WNV-infected mosquitoes also have been identified in areas where WNV-positive crows have been found. These facts suggest that WNV-infected crows signify local epizootic transmission; therefore, the presence of WNV-infected crows over a wide geographic area indicates that epizootic transmission is widespread in the northeast and that a potential risk for human infection exists in a wider area in 2000 compared with 1999.
In temperate regions, human WNV infections usually occur in late summer and early fall, a finding consistent with the peak incidence in mid-August during the 1999 outbreak.5 A serosurvey conducted after the 1999 outbreak in Queens indicated that most human infections were asymptomatic; <1% of persons developed severe neurologic disease, most frequently the elderly. Health-care providers, especially in the northeastern United States, should consider WNV as the etiology of disease for persons with signs or symptoms suggesting viral encephalitis (all ages, especially if associated with muscle weakness) or meningitis (especially in persons aged greater than 17 years). Laboratory diagnosis that is based on serum IgM test results should be interpreted in the context of the clinical and epidemiologic findings. In areas where WNV activity occurred in 1999, health-care providers should ensure that IgM reactivity in human serum samples represents recent infection as opposed to persistent antibody from last year. NYCDOH, in collaboration with CDC, has been following the WNV cases diagnosed in 1999 for both long-term clinical sequelae and persistence of antibody. Among the 22 persons participating, approximately 55% had detectable serum IgM antibody 6 months after illness onset. These results indicate that laboratory confirmation by serologic testing of suspected WNV cases occurring in 2000 in regions where epidemic WNV transmission occurred in 1999 should include acute and convalescent serum samples to demonstrate a four-fold increase or decrease in WNV-specific neutralizing antibody. Convalescent serum specimens should be collected 14-21 days after acute serum specimens.
Evidence of intensifying epizootic transmission in NYC and surrounding counties and of epizootic transmission in distant locations suggests a need for broadening previous recommendations for prevention and control.6 The following actions may be necessary in affected or potentially affected regions:
Continue surveillance to define the geographic spread and intensity of WNV transmission and to assist in targeting and evaluating control efforts. The apparent high sensitivity of wild bird surveillance indicates that WNV surveillance should include an avian morbidity and mortality component. The significance of finding a WNV-positive bird in an area will depend on that species' flight range and other behavioral characteristics and the bird's age.
Implement or enhance public education programs that emphasize individual awareness of risk factors for WNV infection and describe risk-reduction actions, such as mosquito avoidance, personal protection (i.e., behavior modification, appropriate clothing, and use of repellents), use or repair of window screens, and residential mosquito source reduction. These measures are particularly important for the elderly, who are at increased risk for severe complications if they contract the illness. The involvement of Aedes japonicus, a daytime feeder, as a potential vector indicates a need for persons to be attentive to personal protective measures during outdoor activities regardless of the time of day.
Intensify Culex mosquito larval mapping and control measures to prevent the emergence of adult mosquitoes that would feed on birds and potentially contribute to viral amplification in or near populated areas.
Implement or continue adult mosquito control to reduce vector density in response to surveillance data that reveal one or more of the following: (1) human cases, (2) cases in equine or other mammal species, (3) continued, multiple positive surveillance events (birds or mosquito isolates), and/or (4) in densely populated urban/suburban centers in proximity to areas identified in 1, 2 and 3. In some instances, large-scale aerial applications may be needed to provide adequate coverage in affected areas. Areas with evidence of WNV activity but without the preceding criteria should implement, if necessary, the recommended focal adult mosquito control.6 Retreatment 3-4 days after initial application will be needed to appreciably reduce Culex populations.7-9 Surveillance should be maintained to determine whether further adulticide is required.
A cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey, CDC, and federal, state, and local government agencies in the 19 surveillance jurisdictions has resulted in the production of interactive, World-Wide Web-based maps to track the spread of WNV. These maps with data from the WNV surveillance system, updated weekly, can be viewed at the U.S. Geological Survey's National Atlas Web site at http://www.nationalatlas.gov/virusmap.html.*

So… "Who are you going to be for Halloween?" That's the question floating around this week for both kids and adults. Sure, with the kids we get all involved with cute or scary.
And with the adults…?
I'd like to shorten the question a little. 'Who are you going to be?" Now that we are in the season of taking on another personality and having some fun doing it, how about looking at your life? What if we had 'Dress up as whom you would really like to be' day? Who would you be?
(Actually, the internet has some games where that is already done – SecondLife lets you create an avatar and 'live' in a virtual society where you can act as you think your person would in real life. It's an interesting psychological study, I'm sure. I think it is a good idea to contemplate.)
So, without any tricks and all treats… let me have a little fun:
Happy Halloween,

The easy answer
You are going to want to find someone with very little personal interest in the matter, or someone that has more to lose than gain by lying to you. In the former situation, it can be very difficult getting a qualified business professional to give you time of day if they are not getting anything from it themselves. However, it is not completely unheard of so you might as well give it a try. Once in a great while business leaders have been known to take an interest in certain individuals and to act as their mentors without any ulterior motives. Maybe they see a little bit themselves in these special cases, or maybe they just enjoy teaching those that they deem worthy of the lessons. Whatever the reason may be, you want to do whatever you can to find someone like this; someone that is willing to give you priceless advice simply because they find it emotionally satisfying. In other situations, you may have to rely on your own logic to try and determine the validity of the information shared with you. It can be difficult trying to prevent others from manipulating the situation by using their superior intellect or experience. You can always start by asking yourself if the person in question would be willing to risk tarnishing their reputation for the potential gain. Would their be any legal ramifications for their deceptive behavior? Unless dealing with a true psychopath that does not care about the consequences of their actions, you can rest assured that most people will avoid any situation that may cause them more pain than pleasure. If unable to gain anything using these previous two techniques, you can always resort to purchasing the advice that you seek. There are many great books and training programs that you can find on Amazon that can teach you about nearly any situation you may encounter in business. Although it comes at a price, this type of advice is at least acquired with just a one time fee and it is something that can be consulted repeatedly without risking bothering anyone.

The past
Do we have to pull this planet over?
The really dangerous thing about history is that everyone picks the facts that they look at to tell the story. My great granddaddy was a man of the earth, a farmer who never would have stood for some of the ideas you see today. What kind of man does this sentence draw to mind? What if I change it to: My great granddaddy was a warm and compassionate man who reminded his children through his every action that economic justice was important. Changes the perception, doesn't it? Both sentences are absolutely true. It was her father that gave my granny the confidence to walk, against police advice, into an economically disadvantaged community during a labor dispute and get the story. When the "reporter lady" showed up, she was warmly welcomed and didn't have a bit of trouble, though she said that the police did their best to frighten her.
http://www.teachthefacts.org/2006/07/re-defining-and-re-writing-history-in.html has a story about how the teaching of history is being restricted by legislators. Just the facts, ma'am, is not a viable way to learn or teach history - who brought out these facts? How reliable are they and what is their bias? Do we accept wholesale one source or another? And to whose benefit did this system work?

Kid-friendly urban hikes to water
One of Tacoma's most outstanding and supremely popular features has to be its proximity to the water. Especially when warmer weather arrives, South Sound-area families flock to the waterfront for adventure and play.
Three different Tacoma trails begin or end at beaches along Commencement Bay and Thea Foss Waterway: the Prairie Line Trail, the Puget Creek Trail and the soon-to-open Wilson Way Bridge and trail. Each of these makes for an ultra-kid-friendly and rewarding urban hike. Each trail has its own personality and environs, and families with kids will love exploring them all.
Use the arrows above the image to explore these family-friendly Tacoma trails.

text: "Gayrabian Nights" is a twist on the well-known classic, "1001 Arabian Nights," in which Scheherazade, under the threat of death if she ceases to captivate King Shahryar's attention, enchants him through a series of mysterious, adventurous, and romantic tales. In this variation, a male escort, invited to the hotel room of a closeted gay, homophobic Mormon Republican senator, learns that the man is poised to vote on a piece of anti-gay legislation the following morning. To prevent him from sleeping, so that the exhausted senator will miss casting his vote on the Senate floor, the escort entertains him with stories of homophobia, celibacy, mixed marriages, reparative therapy, coming out, first love, gay marriage, and long-term successful gay relationships. The escort crafts the stories to give the senator a crash course in gay culture and sensibilities, hoping to bring the man closer to accepting his own sexual orientation.

Newfoundland Dog Photography
A month or so back, we met up with a friend and her newly acquired Newfoundland, Rainzie, that the family had rescued. They have always had 'Newfies' and are big fans of this Giant Breed Dog.
Rainzie, is a great big, cuddly bear of a dog. Although they can be a bit stubborn, Newfies usually have a sweet temperament and are natural nursemaids (think Nana in Peter Pan).
But their real prowess is in the water. They are expert swimmers with a frame built for bouyancy and power. The oily, double coat is ideal in cold water. Their giant paws act as paddles, the large, thick tail a rudder and their lips and jowls allow for breathing and carrying something in their mouths at the same time. I have heard warnings from Newfie owners that if you do not wish to be forcibly removed from the water, then you had better not go swimming with one!
Unfortunately, we weren't able to witness Rainzie in the water (apart from bounding along the stream in the woods). He gave Barney the chase for the first twenty minutes or so but that huge frame can't be easy to lug around for too long. The little rests got more and more frequent and the drool came…and kept coming. Oh yes, this is a drooly breed of dog. Having a breed like this requires the owner to have towels and flannels to hand and any set up portraits start with a bit of a face clean. It also makes for extra work after taking the pics with more retouching. Just how much do you get rid of? After all, it's part of the make up of the dog. There's hair too…they can certainly shed the hair, often losing their coats twice a year. Not a breed for the overly house proud.
It's great going for a walk with the more unusual, less common breeds. Because of his shear size, Rainzie towered over most dogs and he just becomes a natural conversation starter with other dog walkers you meet.
And did I mention that they drool a bit?
Just look at him go!
And rest!
Ruby the Jack Russell
Isn't it funny how people get a dog once the 'having kids' thing is all done?
That's what happened to us. And every morning I see lots of the mums and dads walking their little kiddies up to school, past our house and loads of them now have a dog in tow. It would seem to be the thing to do.
So these photo session pics are of a newly-acquired pup called Ruby (a Jack Russell) who belongs to our friends who live around the corner. She was only about 12 weeks when these were taken. Ahhh.
Dog Photo Session in the Bluebells
I'm back. Apologises for my absense in the past six weeks, but I'm blaming it on dog-overkill from Crufts.
Anyway, this post is from a dog photo session I did earlier in the week out in Chiddingstone. It was a fantastic job to do for a few reasons. Firstly, I got to meet one of the brides I photographed (yes, I photograph weddings also, check out the link to my main photo website) about three years ago again, as it was Sophie who had got in touch, asking about dog photography for her mum's Springer Spaniel, Megan.
After a little back and forth on the phone, trying to avoid the rain, rain, rain that we've had, we finally managed to get it on. Which meant a trip back to Jane's (Sophie's mum) absolutely beautiful cottage in Chiddingstone, with a garden to die for. Yes, these pictures were taken in amongst the bluebells that are in the wooded part of the garden. How fantastic is that!
So it was great to see Jane and Sophie again and also the new addition to the family, as Sophie had new five month old baby George in tow.
So back to Megan, a 6 year old Springer Spaniel X who was fantastically well-behaved having been very well trained by Jane. As you know, I'm very partial to a Spaniel and she was just like my Barney – full of beans and happy to chase a ball around. Simple pleasures.
After photographing in the garden, we finished off in Puckden Woods which also has masses of bluebells.
I promise to get going again with my regular posts of the dogs around the area. I still have a few in the bag that I need to blog about so keep coming back.

The Community Work Programme is an innovative offering from government to provide a job safety net for unemployed people of working age. It provides a bridging opportunity for unemployed youth and others who are actively looking for employment opportunities.
The programme provides them with extra cash to support them in their search for full-time or part-time employment. Programme participants do community work thereby contributing to improvements that benefit all community members.
The programme gives participants a minimum number of regular days of work, typically two days a week, eight days a month, or 100 days a year and provides a predictable income stream. This employment safety net supplements existing livelihood strategies by offering a basic level of income security.
Community Work Programme sites have been established in marginalised economic areas, both rural and urban, where unemployment is high. Unemployed and underemployed men and women qualify to apply for work. The daily rate paid at present, and revised annually, is R71. Communities are actively involved in identifying 'useful work' needed in local areas.
The Community Work Programme is overseen be a Steering Committee which includes National Treasury, the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affair and the Department of Public Works. The programme has been housed in the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs from April 2010.
Purpose of the CWP
- To provide an employment safety net. The CWP recognises that sustainable employment solutions will take time, particularly in reaching marginal economic areas.
- To contribute to the development of public assets and services in poor communities.
- To strengthen community development approaches.
- To improve the quality of life for people in marginalised economic areas by providing work experience, enhancing dignity and promoting social and economic inclusion.
The CWP was also designed to explore ways in which the concept of a minimum employment guarantee could be adapted to South African conditions. The concept of a minimum employment guarantee has been pioneered in India where the state acts as the 'employer of last resort' where markets cannot provide work to all who need it. In India, rural households are guaranteed 100 days of work a year.
Implementing the CWP
The CWP is an area-based programme that is established in a defined local area, called a site. Sites are usually a ward or municipal area and need formal support from relevant local government structures.
The programme is implemented at a national and local level. The Department of Cooperative Governance (DCoG) handles overall management and contracting.
Implementing Agents (IAs) contracted by CoGTA roll out the programme at a local level in partnership with local implementing agents. The IA is appointed to develop the site, provide financial, logistics and project management, while building local capacity through partnerships with local non-governmental organisations (NGO) and community-based organisations (CBOs).
These agents also work with the community and other stakeholders to identify 'useful work' that will benefit the community as a whole.
Community involvement
The CWP uses community participation to identify 'useful work' and priorities. This is usually through ward committees or local development forums. By adopting a community development approach, the CWP has demonstrated that it is possible to:
- Significantly expand service delivery in poor communities through the use of appropriate and effective community development and community participation strategies.
- Improve the day-to-day lives of vulnerable, poor and marginalised communities by helping to organise activities that communities feel are meaningful for them.
- Empower communities to address their core problems and meet basic needs while restoring the pride of communities in their environment.
Useful work
The work performed in the CWP must be 'useful work'. It must improve the quality of life in poor communities by helping to create and maintain community assets and develop services. This work is identified and prioritised through participatory processes, in ward committees or other agreed local development forums.
This has required innovative community development approaches, which the CWP has enabled. In practice, the work performed is multi-sectoral, and typically includes a mix of activities such as home-based care, mapping orphans and vulnerable children, food gardens, environmental services, and the creation and maintenance of community assets such as parks, water tanks and roads.
Funding the CWP
The CWP is funded from the national budget. Wages have been set at R97.50 per day translating to R780 per month for working 8 days a month. The Supervisors are paid at R127 per day translating to R2.500 per month for working 20 days a month. Based on the wage-contribution approved in the national budget for the non-state sector of EPWP, wages are paid directly into workers' bank accounts.
The CWP prioritises labour-intensive activities and 65% of the money at site level goes to the workers. This ratio requires partnerships with other players to co-resource or co-fund activities with high material inputs.

A new gay-friendly travel agency has launched, ensuring that all of its holidays are suitable for both LGBT and straight customers.
OutOfOffice.com is the brainchild of former ITV News journalist Darren Burn, in partnership with Ross Marshall and Andrew Harding who previously launched Your Golf Travel and Spabreaks.com. They claim OutOfOffice to be the first dedicated OTA to cater specifically for the LGBT market.
The OTA, which features photos of LGBT couples alongside straight couples, was launched after Burn submitted a pitch to British Airways' business life magazine to create a new travel business.
It features more than 100 original itineraries, and said that it would only work with suppliers that it has verified as "gay friendly and welcoming".
"For years I've seen travel websites and companies neglect the LGBT market, especially in the marketing and photos they use," Burn said.
He added that the idea for the website came from his own experiences in booking a holiday.
"I never felt that anything catered for the kind of holiday I wanted to go on – one where I can immerse myself in a destination, experience it in full but also safe in the knowledge that all the people I'm handing my cash to are welcoming to gay travellers."

Smoky charred vegetable soup
This hearty vegetable soup is a filling meal in its own right. Charring the eggplant and capsicum in advance will lend it a smoky depth of flavour. The trick is to throw these under a hot grill for around 10 minutes (with lots of olive oil and some salt) before adding them to the soup. It's an additional step but will lend the soup a wonderful aroma. We used a touch of harissa paste to give it a North African dimension and a bit more punch, but you can use tomato puree instead.
Our Fez blend lends the soup a subtle spicy kick and imbues it with warming, earthy notes. Israeli couscous is a nice substitute for the traditional pasta or noodles addition. This will be your wintery go-to soup. And it'll taste even better the next day so you can make it on a Sunday so you have a delicious warming soup awaiting you on Monday night. Oh, and it's packed with nutrients and 100% vegetarian. Bliss!
- Fez
- 2 medium sized carrots, sliced into 1cm chunks
- Olive oil (extra virgin if possible)
- 1 red onion, roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1-2 spring onions
- 1 red capsicum, cut into long strips (around 2cm wide)
- 1 medium sized eggplant, cut into 3cm cubes
- 1 x 400g tinned chickpeas, drained
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- around 100g Israeli / pearl couscous
- 20g coriander, chopped roughly (stalks included)
- 3 celery sticks, roughly chopped
- 1 litre good quality vegetable stock
- Harissa paste (or tomato puree if preferred)
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pre-heat your grill to maximum heat. Place the eggplant and capsicum on 2 small trays, drizzle generously with olive oil and season with some salt. Mix with your hands so that the vegetables are covered with the olive oil and salt all over and grill. The eggplant should need around 12 minutes and the capsicum around 10 minutes, or until each is softened and nicely charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- In a large non-stick saucepan, heat a good lug of olive oil and sauté the onions, celery and carrots with 2 heaped teaspoons of Fez for around 4 minutes on medium heat until the vegetables have softened and have a golden colour. Now add the garlic, stir and keep cooking for another minute.
- Add the vegetable stock, eggplant, capsicum, chickpeas, coriander and 2 tablespoons of harissa paste (or tomato puree if preferred) to the saucepan. Then add 2 teaspoons of Fez, stir well, bring to a boil, cover with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add the Israeli/pearl couscous, stir and simmer for another 10-12 minutes until the couscous is soft and cooked through. Add some water to thin the consistency a bit, if the soup is too thick. Taste again and season to perfection. Serve with a slice of fresh crusty bread or on its own! You can also add a sprinkle of your favourite herbs over the soup before serving.

Alright, I stole this pic from a famous Tumblr. Still funny to me, though.
What It's Actually Like to Walk Away from Porn Addiction.
"The only time you should watch porn is when you're falling down the pit of self, and the only thing you can do to stop your fall is grab hold of your own penis."
– Marc Maron, Comedian
Earlier this year, I was invited to attend a housewarming party of some friends of mine who had moved in together. While sitting around a circle at a large table, I listened in on what the other guys were saying. As we'd already gotten somewhat familiar with each other, soon enough someone jokingly asked what kind of porn everyone was into. It's something us guys will sometimes bring up when there's no women around, or when we've gotten too liquored up to mind the few who are.
You know, "Locker Room Talk".
A friend of mine sitting next to me laughs, turns to me and says "That's almost more of a personal question than asking for someone's social security number!"
I started to chuckle a bit at everyone's responses – it was a situation I've been in before. At the time I didn't have the courage to say what was really on my mind, though. I didn't want to tell everyone at that table that I'd been trying to quit for several years.
I didn't want to be "That Guy".
I realize that people have a wide range of highly-charged opinions on this topic, so much so that I can't address them all here. Some will say that pornography is harmless, that it doesn't affect their sex lives in any negative way, and that it inspires some creativity in the bedroom. Others might say that it ruins relationships, promotes violence against women and distorts young people's perception of what sex really looks like.
What I can say from personal experience is that from the moment I started seeing any nudie/pornographic material, I didn't like it. Or rather, I should say – I didn't like that I liked it. I vividly remember some of the boys at school flipping through a dirty magazine, then saying: "Hey Ro, look over here." When I looked to see the photo they were holding, my face got hot with embarrassment as I quickly turned away.
I'm not sure how I learned to feel ashamed for experiencing pleasure upon seeing a woman's body. At this point, I'm not interested in searching for what part of my upbringing/ culture/ media influence created that belief within me. I can, however, take responsibility for changing my ways going forward. I think there is a way that men could learn to appreciate women's bodies, in all their various shapes and sizes, without all the gawking, objectifying, non-consensual grabbing – or worse.
But I also think we should probably do so, away from our laptops.
At this point, I want to define the word "addiction", as it seems be a heavy word, one that I'm probably throwing around too much. I simply mean anything that you continue to do, despite not wanting to. Drinking too much coffee, overthinking, and scrolling through Facebook also count. Even though my habit didn't seem to interfere with my social/work life, and even though I'd go six to eight months without viewing anything, I'd end up going back – usually after feeling pretty bummed out.
When it comes to quitting, it can be a challenge to find someone in your life to turn to for support. I remember numerous times when I'd tell someone about my decision, and they'd end up finding it kind of funny (alright… maybe it is funny). Either he didn't feel like his porn habit was actually a "problem", didn't watch it at all, or didn't want to continue the conversation. Whatever the case may be, I'm not judging – sometimes I unknowingly open up to people, expecting that they'll do the same with me.
Without anyone in my immediate circle to turn to, I found out about the good people at nofap.com (which is a hilarious title to anyone who gets it). It's an organization that helps people break their habits around pornography. There are plenty of listed benefits that people claim to experience after making this shift in their lives, including:
– Increased self-esteem.
– Increased drive and motivation to achieve their goals in life.
– Feeling more connected to other people.
– And many more…
As soon as I found out about their forum, I started a small "accountability group" with some of its members. It was then that I discovered how much shame people experience around this. Usually, I'd be the one to check-in with people to see whether or not they'd kept their commitment. Many of those times, I'd wait a few days before getting a response laden with self-judgement. They seemed like genuinely good, earnest people who wanted to save their relationships, or improve themselves in a meaningful way. But still I'd read their messages, knowing that they were beating themselves up time and time again for not following through on their word.
I haven't heard from them in a while.
As for myself, I was doing pretty well. To ensure that I wouldn't have another "relapse", I went so far as to pledge to pay $300 to an organization I don't support for breaking my agreement. I was out traveling at this point, and was focused on other things that took my mind away from digital nudity. On this end, things were going great until…
Until I moved back home.
Back in August, I went to a personal growth & transformation seminar called Evolving Out Loud, which I'd highly recommend checking out. The only issue was that afterwards, I'd never felt a bigger discrepancy between who I wanted to become in life and who I was being. Jobless and back to living with Mom and Pop, I heard familiar voices in my head come up:
"You're not getting laid any time soon, anyways!"
"Who cares – everyone else is doin' it!"
Well… "it" happened.
*Cue temporary self-loathing*
In the end, everyone gets to choose what is right or wrong for them. Since I decided this is wrong for me to do, I've had to live with the consequences. Through these experiences, I've learned to accept myself, as I am, in both my highest highs, and lowest lows.
Although not every guy will agree with me, I've had enough discussions to know that many find their habitual consumption of porn to be very disempowering. I also feel for all the women out there who quietly (or loudly) resent their partners' habits, resigning to the old adage that "boys will be boys".
I'm not writing this to say "I'm not like those other guys – I'm one of the noble ones!" – because I also know the state of mind leading up to the act itself. I'm not out to shame anyone for the decisions they make.
But I do want to encourage you to love whatever aspect you find repulsive in yourself, including your addictions.
Especially that which you find repulsive in yourself – not to stay "screwed up", but to bring you back to Wholeness.
The internet has added so much to our lives, and I genuinely believe it's one of the reasons why there's never been a better time to be alive than today. And yet there's never been anything quite as effective at keeping you as distracted, sad, and horny as possible to keep you from experiencing how precious you actually are.
Hopefully you've made it to the end of this post without switching tabs to look at nudez (it's alright if you did – still love ya!). Here's to making whatever choices serve you best.
With love, as always,
ps. brb, everyone – Going to Hell.

GOKU VS VEGETA in DRAGON BALL Z KAKAROT Tutorial Part 6 (COMPLETE GAME)
Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Gameplay Tutorial Part 6 includes a review and campaign mission 6 of Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Single Player Story Campaign for PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and PC. This tutorial from the Dragon Ball Z Kakarot history campaign will include the full game. The Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Part 1 tutorial will include a review, Goku, Gohan, Raditz, All Bosses, Cinematics, Cut Scenes, OST, Story Missions, Main Missions, New Gameplay, DLC, all single player campaign Missions And the end.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is an open-world action role-playing game developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Based on the Dragon Ball franchise, it will be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama designed the new original Bonyū character for the game.
Playable characters include: Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Future Trunks, Gotenks and Vegito.
Boss characters include: Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta (Base / Great Ape), Cui, Dodoria, Zarbon (Base / Monster Shape), Ginyu Force (Guldo, Burter, Recoome, Jeice and Captain Ginyu), Frieza (1st Form / 2nd Form / 3rd form / Final form / 100% total power), Frieza wick, Cell (Imperfect / Semi-Perfect / Perfect / Super Perfect), Majin Buu,
Evil Buu, Super Buu (Base / Gotenks Absorbed / Gohan Absorbed), Kid Buu and Mira
Support characters include: Android 18, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Trunks, Goten
Other characters include: Android 8, Android 16, Babidi, Bulma, Chi-Chi, Cynthia, Launch, Dabura, Master Roshi, Nam, Supreme Kai, Videl, Yajirobe and Yuzukar.
Located in areas of semi-open world of individual centers with RPG elements, the game freely follows the plot of the Dragon Ball Z anime series with the player assuming the role of protagonist Goku. Other characters such as Piccolo, Vegeta, Gohan (youth, teenagers, adults), Future Trunks, Vegito and Gotenks have been announced as playable characters.
The game is not considered an open world with a massive sandbox, but is divided into individual centers that will be locked until they reach a certain point in history, only then will these areas be unlocked for exploration. These individual centers are not small and the opening of these areas provides one more reason to have the flight as a travel mode, with an impressive verticality and area. Some areas are full of life and cities, while others are more arid and lifeless.
Flying will be a great aspect of the game and the main way to travel to the objectives and other parts of the map unless you prefer to run at super speeds, the nimbus cloud will also be a mode of transport and for the final edition the Tao Pai Pai Pilar will be available.
During the general game and the flight, the game is handled like a typical third-person game, when fighting the perspective changes to a fighting game over the shoulder. Fighting is a mix between typical punches, kicks, dodging and ki-blasts with special movements and combos involved.
Outside of combat, you are free to explore the different places, collect minerals with explosions of ki and fish. The emphasis on the progression of role-playing games distinguishes this game from the typical fighting games, Goku will not start with his most powerful moves with them only unlocked through the skill tree and progression throughout history. There are five different ways to turn on; eating, fighting, finding ki orbs and creating communities. Linking characters with community leaders of different types can maximize experience gain. The orbs found in the world through exploration are the main currency to progress in the skill tree. Meals are important, as the search for fruit or the preparation of dishes in a chef can permanently increase statistics. When fighting in battles, you will gain experience points, choose your battles and make sure your character is at the right level before participating.

My name is Eduardo Gallego and I am the person in charge of the robotics group called COMPLUBOT. I would like to tell you a little about who we are and what we do.
COMPLUBOT is a non-profit educational project that has been running for three years. At the present time, we have three levels of robotics for students from 10 to 14 years of age. COMPLUBOT is a very dynamic operation: annually we host a robotics contest in our center (this year on the 16th of December 2005). We also participated in a local competition that is called ROBOCAMPEONES, and we have gone to small conferences. Additionally this year we want to participate in the Junior RoboCup competition that is held in Bremen (Germany).
All this we do it with budget of ZERO. That is to say, we do not receive any outside funding. We do it with recycled equipment, some donations and a small fee paid by the students.
Luckily, in the technical aspects we are far better off. At the present time we have collaborated with the Department of Robotics of the University King Juan Carlos and also we have signed an agreement of collaboration with the University of Joensu (Finland). Thanks to my professional contacts we have an important number of advisers of all type like the CAB (Center of Astrobiology) or the INTA (National Institute of Aerospace Technique) that unofficially assist us and provide direction to us when we need it.
We try to make our page Web a reflection of our activity, but our present pace prevents us from updating its contents at the speed with which we would like. Our present activities include a small weather station with a data base that has allowed us to design and construct our own sensors.

- All About Hepatitis
- Viral Hepatitis
Viral hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by a virus. So far, five different types of hepatitis viruses have been identified. They are called hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. All five types cause short-term (acute) infections from which most patients recover quickly. An acute infection can occur with only mild symptoms – or even none. Sometimes jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin), dark urine, extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain are signs of an acute infection.
Inflammations caused by hepatitis B, C and D viruses can lead to chronic hepatitis and thus entail life threatening complications such as cirrhosis of the liver (scarring), liver failure and liver cancer. Around the globe, approximately 400 million people suffer from chronic hepatitis B and C. They represent the majority of cases of liver cirrhosis and cancer. Each year, 1.5 million people die from hepatitis infections.
In developed countries, hepatitis C causes more deaths than HIV/Aids. In Switzerland, an estimated 1.5 per cent of the population is chronically infected with hepatitis C and/or B. 40'000 people are thought to live with a chronic hepatitis C infection and another 40'000 with chronic hepatitis B.
Hepatitis A and E are transmitted via the intake of food or water that has been contaminated with faeces, or via direct contact with infected individuals. Hepatitis B, C and D are transmitted via infected blood or other bodily fluids. Common ways of transmission are the exchange of contaminated needles among intravenous drug users and blood transfusions. During childbirth, hepatitis B can easily be passed from mother to child. However, vaccinating the newborn can prevent an infection. Hepatitis B is also transmitted via unprotected sexual intercourse.
As with all viruses, hepatitis viruses can only survive and multiply within cells, in the case of hepatitis they are predominantly hepatic cells. Viruses do not usually damage the affected cell itself. But to eliminate the invading virus, the whole hepatic cell needs to be destroyed. If the immune system starts this process quickly and efficiently, all infected cells – and thus all viruses – are destroyed, and the infection is cured. If the immune system fails to react fast, as can happen with hepatitis viruses B and C, the infection of the liver can continue many years, become chronic and lead to scarring. As a consequence, liver cirrhosis can occur.
Hepatitis infections can be prevented by safe food and clean water (hepatitis A/E), vaccinations (hepatitis A/B/E), testing blood donations and dispensing sterile injecting equipment as well as monitoring existing infections (hepatitis B and C). However, today's prevention measures and awareness efforts are not nearly enough. There are too many who do not know that they carry the virus, because they experience only mild symptoms or none at all. It is therefore paramount to identify and examine the infected. Only then can they benefit from the new treatment regimes. You can prevent a hepatitis infection if you:
- practice safe use with drugs: use sterile injection equipment and utensils as well as sterile straws if snorting
- practice safe sex, especially when frequently changing partners (this applies to HIV as well)
- make sure any tattooing and piercing is done under sterile conditions
There are vaccines available that protect against hepatitis A and B. Who should get vaccinated?
Against hepatitis B
In Switzerland, a general vaccination for all children aged 11 through 15 years is recommended. The vaccination can also be performed on babies. Newborns of infected mothers should be vaccinated to prevent a possible transmission during childbirth. The vaccination is also recommended for adults who have not yet been vaccinated and who are at an increased risk of infection: healthcare workers, injecting drug users, people with poor immune systems or people who frequently change sexual partners. There is a combination vaccine available against hepatitis B and A, recommended for anyone travelling to regions where hepatitis A is common.
Against hepatitis A
People who are frequently travelling to high-risk areas, such as Asia, including Turkey, the African continent, Central and South America and Eastern Europe, should be vaccinated. For livelong protection, two injections of the vaccines are needed. Talk to your GP at least four to six weeks prior to your journey or visit a travel clinic. More about hepatitis A
More information: www.safetravel.ch
How effective are vaccinations?
Vaccines against hepatitis A and B are among the most effective and safest. As with all vaccinations, side effects such as skin reactions at the injection spot can occur. Three injections are needed to vaccinate against hepatitis B, two against hepatitis A and three for the combination of A and B.
Most infected people recover quickly from an acute hepatitis without needing medical treatment. Chronic hepatitis B and C infections can be treated, but the chances of a full recovery are slim, especially when chronically infected with hepatitis B. Highly effective new hepatitis C medicines have recently been released. But most patients, in poor countries in particular, lack access to treatment because of inadequate evaluation of patients, a shortage of medical services and the high costs of some of the new medicines. The latter has also led to treatment access restrictions for certain groups of hepatitis C patients in Switzerland. Vaccination is the best protection against hepatitis A and B. Treatment of hepatitis C is currently changing fundamentally: Moving away from interferon therapy towards treatment with antiviral medicines that affect the virus directly, leading to shorter, more efficient treatments with fewer side effects.
Only 80 to 90 per cent of acute and chronic hepatitis cases can at present be linked to known viruses. That is why worldwide research focuses on the discovery of new types of hepatitis viruses. Every one to two years, the discovery of a new type is announced; more often than not, they turn out to be false. Recognised, but of little medical relevance, are:
- GBV-C: This virus has been discovered in a surgeon, and even though it appears mainly in hepatic cells, it causes rarely or never any illness.
- TT-Virus, SANBAN-Virus, TTV-like Minivirus, SEN-Virus, Sentinel-Virus: All of these belong to the same family of viruses. They infect hepatic cells, but rarely or never cause any illnesses either.

Nom Nom Chicken Chow Meow Cat Food Review
First 5 Ingredients: Chicken Breast, Thigh, and Liver, Asparagus, Carrot, Spinach, Cantaloupe
Protein represents 56% of this food's total calorie content, a percentage similar to that found in the feline's prey-based diet. Virtually all of the food's protein comes from chicken muscle meat and organs, so it's highly-digestible and relies heavily on the amino acids naturally found in meat.
In addition to hearty chunks, flakes, and shreds of chicken, the food contains a smattering of fruits and vegetables. Though the food contains a few high-glycemic ingredients, it's low in carbohydrate content with around 10% calories from carbohydrate.
Nom Nom food isn't like other high-protein cat food—it's created by a company that cooks small batches of fresh, human-grade food, packages it according to each customer's calorie needs, and ships it straight to your door. Every week, two weeks, or once a month, you'll receive just the amount of fresh food your cat needs.
As a custom-portioned, human-grade food that arrives fresh, never frozen and comes with uber-attentive customer service, Nom Nom is more expensive than some other high-protein foods. The food's price is its biggest drawback—you'll have to decide if the benefits are worth it for you.
Why We Like The Product:
- High in species-appropriate protein
- High-moisture, satisfying food
- Low carbohydrate content
- Each pouch contains one portion measured for your cat's needs

I love to eat Chinese food, or any Asian cuisine for that matter. We regularly cook it at in our own kitchen and go to Chinese buffets, sit-down restaurants and quick-serve Chinese restaurants when traveling. Eating Chinese food on a diet can be like a walk through a minefield but it is possible to choose diet-friendly options at a Chinese restaurant. There are a few general tips I follow when I get a craving for Chinese food:
- Soups, such as egg-drop or hot and sour, are the best appetizers.
- Steamed vegetable dumplings are a better choice than fried egg rolls.
- Steamed brown rice is the best starch choice, but you should avoid fried rice and noodles.
- Try to eat with chopsticks. No grades are given for technique and it generally leads to eating less.
- Pay attention to portion sizes. Many full-service Chinese restaurants intend their meals to be shared.
- Avoid anything deep-fried or breaded or covered with a thick, syrupy sauce.
- Don't be afraid to ask for half-sauce or the sauce on the side at a full-service Chinese restaurant.
There are several Chinese restaurants in my area, both national chains and independents. P.F. Chang's China Bistro, a full-service restaurant, and Panda Express can each be found in 38 states as well as international locations. I've eaten at both and have found their diet-friendly options to be delicious. According to a March 8, 2010, press release, P.F. Chang's has expanded its gluten-free menu options to 28 items offering more diet-friendly choices to its patrons.
In my experience, most Chinese restaurants offer similar dishes. I've used the nutrition information for items available at P.F. Chang's and Panda Express to give a sampling of 10 Diet-Friendly Chinese food options.
Hot & Sour Soup
With one serving weighing in at 90 calories, Hot & Sour Soup is a great choice when ordering Chinese food. Four to five grams of protein are a great boost.
Steamed Vegetable Dumplings
Ten grams of carbs and two grams of protein packed into a 65-calorie serving make this appetizer a great diet choice.
Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Lettuce wraps are a diet-friendly egg roll! No deep-frying leaves this appetizer with 153 calories, eight grams of protein and two grams of fiber.
Steamed Brown Rice
If your favorite restaurant doesn't offer brown rice, don't order a starch at all. A six-ounce serving contains 190 calories, 40 grams of carbs, four grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber.
Mixed Veggies
Vegetables are the best way to bulk up any Chinese meal. A serving contains only 70 calories but adds five grams of fiber and four grams of protein.
Spicy Green Beans
I love spicy, stir-fried green beans! A five-ounce serving includes three grams of protein and fiber and only adds 103 calories.
Broccoli Beef
Beef isn't always bad for you when a serving provides 11 grams of protein in just 150 calories.
String Bean Chicken
This Chinese entrée contains only 190 calories with 12 grams of protein and three grams of fiber.
Salt & Pepper Shrimp
Seafood works well with Chinese cooking techniques. There's a lot of flavor in 197 calories and 21 grams of protein.
Vegetarian Fried Rice
Some people just can't visit a Chinese restaurant without fried rice. Choose a vegetarian option containing 215 calories and just three grams of fat.

Choosing the right law firm is essential to the success of any adoption. By not hiring an experienced and passionate attorney who specializes in adoption law, adoptive families take an unnecessary risk with their family's future, and prospective birth parents may not realize the adoption services allowed to them by law.
The Law Offices of Mary Beck offers all of the necessary legal services to complete an adoption, and many more services that aren't typically offered by adoption attorneys. These services include:
- Conducting an initial phone call that educates the client of the entire legal process
- Facilitating counseling for the birth parents
- Acquiring financial assistance for the birth mother
- Obtaining prenatal records for the adoptive family
- Setting up an adoption plan and post-placement contact
- Forming a hospital plan
- Terminating parental rights of the birth parents
- Corresponding with each state's varying adoption laws under the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC)
- Legally finalizing the adoption and transferring parental rights to the adoptive family
Types of Adoption
Mary and Joanna Beck are experienced in all types of domestic adoption law, and can help legally finalize…
- Newborn adoptions
- Foster care adoptions
- Step-parent adoptions
- Second-parent adoptions
- Adult adoptions
- Single-parent adoptions
- Same-sex adoptions
- Intrastate and Interstate adoptions
- Intercountry adoptions
Because all states have varying adoption laws, and because so many adoptions happen in separate states, it is imperative for an adoption attorney to understand the laws of each state.
Mary Beck is a member of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, which is comprised of adoption attorneys from all 50 states who meet twice every year to discuss new developments and case law in adoption. Mary Beck's membership allows her to keep abreast on each state's adoption laws so that every adoption complies with Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) guidelines.
This assures prospective adoptive parents and birth parents that their adoption will be completed to the fullest extent of each state's laws.
If you have identified an adoptive family or birth mother for placement, or if you have a question about the adoption process, contact The Law Offices of Mary Beck for a free consultation.
