Twin, the recently released memoir about Allen Shawn's struggle with his sister's autism has caught my eye. In today's world, public consciousness of the various forms of mental illness has awakened and society is not usually so quick to institutionalize people with these illnesses as it once was. Published by Penguin, the following description is from their site:
A heartbreaking yet deeply hopeful memoir about life as a twin in the face of autism.
When Allen Shawn and his twin sister, Mary, were two, Mary began exhibiting signs of what would be diagnosed many years later as autism. Understanding Mary and making her life a happy one appeared to be impossible for the Shawns. At the age of eight, with almost no warning, her parents sent Mary to a residential treatment center. She never lived at home again.
Fifty years later, as he probed the sources of his anxieties in Wish I Could Be There, Shawn realized that his fate was inextricably linked to his sister's, and that their natures were far from being different.
Twin highlights the difficulties American families coping with autism faced in the 1950s. Shawn also examines the secrets and family dramas as his father, William, became editor of The New Yorker. Twin reconstructs a parallel narrative for the two siblings, who experienced such divergent fates yet shared talents and proclivities. Wrenching, honest, understated, and poetic, Twin is at heart about the mystery of being inextricably bonded to someone who can never be truly understood.

In this talk, I will delve into various challenges related to human-agent teaming and analyze them through the lens of control-theoretic techniques. I will begin by examining human motor learning in complex, high-dimensional tasks—a fundamental issue in the post-stroke rehabilitation of high-degree-of-freedom systems like the human hand. To address this, I will introduce a motor learning model grounded in the concept of "synergies" derived from the motor learning literature, coupled with adaptive control techniques. This model not only explains experimental data but also quantifies several learning trade-offs that were previously difficult to quantify. Moreover, I will demonstrate that the parameter fits for human data lie at the precipice of a phase transition concerning these trade-offs. I will also outline ongoing initiatives aimed at leveraging this model to expedite motor learning. Subsequently, I will shift focus to our endeavors in trust-aware human-robot teaming. Specifically, I will explore a scenario where a robot, operating in a semi-autonomous object collection setting, can seek human assistance. Employing a POMDP-based approach that treats human trust as a hidden variable, and seeks to optimize team performance. Results from human experiments will be presented, showcasing the superiority of a trust-aware policy over a trust-agnostic one in terms of overall team performance. If time permits, I will highlight some of our other efforts in the domain of human-in-the-loop systems, including, understanding the impact of evaluative feedback on the learning and skill transfer performance of a human engaged in sequential decision-making tasks.

July 17th 📅 is World Emoji Day! According to Unicode statistics, the most popular emoji for the second-year running is the ‘joy smiley face 😂’ followed by ‘red heart ❤️’ then ‘heart eyes smiley face 😍’. We love our emojis! Who of us hasn't gotten a wordless, emoji-only text? It’s amazing how much you can actually say using only emojis! Perhaps it's not so surprising when we consider the power of our own non-verbal communications - smiling, laughing, crying... And the same goes for our babies. Your baby talks to you all the time, well before they can speak, using their face, their voice, their arm and leg movements. They're born ready to tell us what they need! “Reading” these non-verbal signals, or “cues” however, is often easier said than done...
Here are a few hints to help you translate these 'cues' into more meaningful baby messages. Let’s start with "engagement" and "disengagement" cues - all of which are OK - they're just ways of communicating with you! There's no negative or postive cues as even crying is how your baby lets you know what is happening.
Engagement cues 😊 Engagements cues are signals, or body language that babies use to show they can manage what's going on around them. Your baby is saying "I'm ready to interact" or "Keep going". Here are some engagement cues to look out for:
Eyes become wide open and bright as the baby focuses on you
Turning eyes, head or body toward you, or the person who is talking
Smiling, raising their eyebrows
Reaching towards you
Smooth hand, arm, and leg movements
Enjoy this time together and watch for signs that your baby might be getting tired. These signs are called 'Disengagement cues'…
Disengagement cues 😴
Disengagement cues are signs your baby uses to say they might need a break from what's happening, or for things to slow down. Sometimes the break means a sleep! Stop whatever you were doing; reduce stimulation around them like noises, lights, toys, or interactions. Disengagement cues to look out for include:
Crying or fussing
Frowning, grimacing or yawning
Turning eyes, head or body away from you or the person who is talking
Back arching or stiff posture
All babies are born with the ability to 'Talk to us' using these cues. The magic is you both learn about each other as you watch and practice different responses to cues together. Remember, it's definitely OK to not get it right all of the time! It's an important part of learning for you both. Soon enough, you and your baby will develop your own special language - and then, all too soon, your baby will start talking! 💬
In the meantime, check out our 'tired', 'hungry' or 'ready to play' cues to look out for in the app! Go to More > Tips and Wisdom> Daily Activities.

My research looks at the impact of digital technology on our perception of time and space. I do this through creating and designing interventions in the physical space to ask questions and raise awareness of our use of technology and the impact on our awareness of time and space and the world around us.
I use design as a tool to provoke questioning and self-awareness with the aim to recognise the importance of ‘headspace’. Through this, my research looks at the intersection of art, design and technology and the impact they have in shaping culture and society.
I am specifically exploring our sense and perception of time in relationship to how we use technology and the impact that this has on idea generation in the creative process & the communities who use the technology.
The way that we experience time and space is changing, our relationship between the physical space around us and how we interact with it is directly impacted by the digital tools that we use.
This website is divided into two projects that aim to highlight the relationship between the creator of work and the viewers/users.
The geo-experiential project primarily explores the way we experience time and space and our relationship with the physical space around us through memory palaces and place attachment theory. The project aims to enable users to be able experience and see the space around them in a new light and use it as a memory recall device. Through this the aim is to change the relationship of a space and also the attachment to the place and in turn the wellbeing of the users.
This could be explored at many different levels. From documenting s space and moving more slowly through it using photography, a directed journey that could show; the history of a landscape, a journey to help understand the artist (be that metaphorical or physical) or as a place of solitude away and revision space.
The pieces could be experienced over a short or long period of time, but through the same physical location. The pieces could range from images or videos to virtual or physical installations or data visualisations; they are all designed to explore the relationship of the creators and the users/viewers whilst also encouraging both parties to pause and become aware of the space around them and thus their wellbeing.

1. What is delayed ejaculation?
Although it is something that is not talked about much, the truth is that it is not uncommon for men (or their partners) to consult a sexologist in Delhi for an ejaculation time that they consider excessive. They usually consult because the penetrations (or other genital stimulation practices) are prolonged in time, causing themselves, or their partners, to get tired or start to feel discomfort.
It is known as “delayed ejaculation” or “problems from an ejaculation time that is considered excessive”. In cases in which ejaculation fails to occur, we speak of anejaculation, absence of ejaculation, or ejaculatory inability.
Men with this difficulty often feel some degree of arousal and pleasure, but it is not enough to trigger an orgasm.
Difficulty ejaculating usually occurs mainly during penetration; it is estimated that 85% of these men can ejaculate without problems with masturbation and 50% also ejaculate with oral or manual stimulation from their partner (Masters and Johnson, 1966).
2. Is there a specific time to talk about delayed ejaculation?
Many sexologists in Delhi do not speak of a specific time. It must be taken into account that each man is different, and if there is a partner, each couple is different too. There are men who take 30 minutes to ejaculate from the start of penetration and are satisfied, and so are their partners, because of their particular tastes, because of how their erotic relationships are (possibly they alternate penetration with other relationships), or because of how they manage ejaculation times. Other men with the same time are dissatisfied and so are their partners.
Men who have times of 45 minutes or more, or who never ejaculate, tend to be the most dissatisfied, as are their partners.
In short, it is dissatisfaction that mainly defines whether a man suffers from a sexual problem or not, rather than the specific time.
3. Is it frequent or is it a very unusual erotic difficulty?
Most studies place its incidence between 4 and 11% of the populatio.
In our sexologist clinic in Delhi, we have noticed a clear increase in consultations about this erotic difficulty from 20 years to now, although this increase may be due to the fact that there are more men with this difficulty or that the men with this difficulty are the same but now they feel less embarrassed when it comes to seeking help to improve their erotic life.
4. What specialist should be consulted?
If the man never ejaculates, neither in solo masturbation, nor in shared masturbation, nor in penetration, nor in any erotic practice, the ideal thing would be for him to go to the urologist in Delhi first, to rule out an organic pathology as the cause of the ejaculation.
If the man ejaculates without problems alone, but has difficulties with a partner, the cause is most likely psychological or relational, and our advice would be to visit the best sexologist in Delhi.
It is not uncommon to work in coordination, that is, that different professionals (medicine, urology, sexology…) evaluate the person from their different areas, to offer better care together.
5. How does delayed ejaculation affect the quality of the erotic relationship?
Each case is different, but to offer some general keys, it must be taken into account that some penetrations last 30 or 45 minutes, or even more, without the man having ejaculated. This can cause some couples (both heterosexual and homosexual) tiredness, boredom, or even discomfort that can become important.
When the problem continues over time and occurs in practically every sexual relationship, it sometimes translates into a lack of desire from the partner, a lack of desire from the man himself, who feels frustrated and anguished by his difficulty in reaching orgasm, and that they are also afraid of the image they may give to their partner, what the other person may think or how they will react. Some men even end up having erection problems, if they are very worried and stressed by the absence of ejaculation. And sometimes it can lead to disagreements with the couple.
6. How do the partners of men with this difficulty usually react?
Couples, whether they are women or other men, tend to react worse when they relate the lack of ejaculation, or their partner’s ejaculation difficulties, with a low desire for them.
In other words, if the partner of this man who finds it difficult to ejaculate, attributes this difficulty to the fact that his partner does not find her attractive or exciting, or that the erotic life they have in common bores him, that he does not like his body… he usually Reacting negatively affects her self-esteem and she is less understanding of her partner’s ejaculation times.
It should be noted that on many occasions men’s ejaculation difficulties are NOT caused by a lack of attraction or desire towards their partner. When the problem is not attraction or desire, and this is made clear to both partners (sometimes with help from sexologist doctor in Delhi), the problem is much more easily resolved.
7. What are usually the physical causes?
Certain drugs can delay ejaculation or even prevent it (antidepressants, antihypertensives, antipsychotics, etc.). For example, it is estimated that people who are taking certain antidepressants (SSRIs) or antipsychotics present ejaculation disorders in 50% of cases. Therefore it is important to see what drugs the person is taking and their possible side effects.
Also certain chronic diseases (such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis…), spinal cord injuries, genital surgeries (prostate, for example), trauma, stroke, hormonal disorders, alcohol or drug abuse… can cause difficulties with ejaculation, among other physical factors.
It should be noted that with increasing age, the time required to ejaculate tends to increase as well.
8. Does it usually have a psychological or sexological cause?
It is the most frequent. Some men who find it difficult to ejaculate in penetrative relationships are excessively concerned about their partner’s pleasure, about the possible image they may give, even about the fear of not ejaculating, and all of this makes it difficult for them to abandon themselves, become aroused and ejaculate.
In other cases, some men who do not have difficulties to ejaculate alone, with a partner, by matching their movements, the type of stimulation and the rhythm of said stimulation to the partner, manage to enjoy but they lack a plus of excitement to achieve orgasm.. Both causes can occur separately or together.
9. What advice could be offered to couples with this difficulty?
If there is a partner, dialogue with the partner is essential. If the man finds his partner attractive and that is not the cause of his difficulty in ejaculating, he should make this clear to her. When the people who make up a couple understand the motivations and causes of the behavior of the other party, it is much easier for difficulties to be addressed with serenity, assertiveness and patience.
It is usually useful not to be obsessed that the man with this difficulty reaches orgasm at all costs, there are relationships that can be given with excitement and pleasure for him and assume that he may not reach orgasm on some occasion. It is also useful not to focus everything on penetration and to carry out practices such as manual stimulation (by the partner or himself), oral sex, caresses and massages, etc.
10. How is it usually approached in the sexology consultation?
First, an evaluation is carried out to clarify the causes of delayed ejaculation and the dissatisfaction of the couple.
If the causes are psychological or sexological, they are frequently addressed by offering guidelines for improving sexual life in the stable couple or with occasional partners.
Generally, keys are offered to improve arousal and abandonment in erotic encounters and that the rhythm, stimulation, and movements adapt to those that the man needs to achieve orgasm, ensuring that this also translates into an improvement of the relationship with the partner.
It is also favored that erotic relationships are not reduced to penetration, but that the range of erotic techniques is expanded. And work is done to improve the man’s self-esteem, the image of him as a man and as a capable lover, as a way to facilitate going relaxed and confident to meetings, and therefore, to achieve orgasm.
If there is a partner, you always try to work with your partner as a system, as a team, to achieve the best results.

What a great Retreat we had!
SUCH an excellent group of women. I learned so much from everyone I had the privilege to talk with. And it was so much fun presenting with my dear cousin, Taunie Reynolds.
One thing I resolved to do at the Retreat was to come home and do the "Love Languages Test" with each of the kids. At the Retreat, we talked about how important it is to set up an environment in your home where your kids are more likely to WANT to behave. We talked about really listening to our kids more, giving them lots of praise for the good stuff they do, and minimizing the criticizing (I talked about this a bit in my post about the Idaho Falls Retreat here - and developed a new mantra). And one essential ingredient in helping our kids get the attention they need and really feel loved is understanding what their love language is. I've been meaning to do this forever, but with my Retreat resolve in hand, we talked about Love Languages last night at Family Home Evening and the kids got really excited about taking this little Love Languages Test. Being more in tune with the different ways we give and hope to receive love will really help the environment in our home I think.

Based on 25 years of golf swing analysis and cognitive and neuroscience research we have streamlined the learning process to offer direct instant virtual feedback during the act of practicing or training for a sport. A mobile solution for building correct technique while preventing improper training and muscle memory development.
The scientific reinforcement of muscle memory in sports training relies on consistently practicing techniques with the correct form and motion at all times. Our M3 “real time” muscle memory optimization system gives immediate visual feedback and cues of how to swing during the actual swing itself – facilitating a visual guidance for players to see exactly what they need to be doing during the actual swing, not afterwards. This avoids the unpredictable feedback cycle of trying to think about how to change your swing after watching a replay.
Cutting Edge Features.

About our lab
Understanding of how the brain controls social life is one of the most fascinating quests of neuroscience. Although social interactions among individuals are central to most animals, including humans, we are only beginning to understand the underlying neural processes. To study mechanisms of social interactions at the level of neural circuits and cells we need simple animal models. One of the simplest forms of socially evoked emotions is emotional contagion, understood as the capacity to be affected by and/or share the emotional state of another individual. The search for the ultimate neural correlates of emotional contagion is very much in its infancy, but the recent development of relevant rat and mouse behavioral models combined with optogenetic, electrophysiological, and imaging techniques has accelerated the rate of discovery. The two main questions our research is focused on are:
- Are the neural circuits underlying positive and negative social emotions distinct?
- Does the social brain exist? i.e., Are there neural circuits specialized in social emotions?
Malfunctioning neural circuits governing social interactions are responsible for a number of neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder and psychopathy. Our research focuses on the brain circuits and cellular mechanisms underlying impaired social interactions. We are trying to test the possibilities for therapeutic intervention in mouse genetic and idiopathic models of autism spectrum disorder. Using state-of-the-art automatic systems for assessing social behavior and neurobiological tools we would like to explain why some individuals are more likely to suffer from autism than others.

What is procrastination?
The term “procrastination” appeared in the Oxford Dictionary as early as 1548. Around the same time, postponing things for later became the subject of heated debate.
Procrastination is the constant postponement of important things, which leads to life problems and negative psychological effects, namely: stress, guilt, loss of productivity, low self-esteem.
In the XX century, the problem of procrastination began to be widely covered in the scientific community. In 1977, two articles were published: “Procrastination in human life” and “Overcoming procrastination”. In the 1980s and 1990s, research was conducted on this phenomenon, which formed the basis of Noah Milgram’s work “Procrastination: the disease of modernity”. Currently, there is a whole magazine — Procrastination And Task Avoiding, entirely devoted to this problem.
At the same time, there is still no single theory explaining the causes of the delaying syndrome. And it is unlikely that this is due to the fact that scientists have postponed its consideration for later.

Reasons for postponing things for later
Procrastination is a complex phenomenon that occurs for a number of reasons. The main ones are the following:
Low self-esteem — a person does not take up the case, because he is afraid of failure. The fear of making a mistake is one of the most common. It is deeply embedded in the culture.
Perfectionism-a person overly concentrates on the ideal result and is afraid of the possible imperfect. Doesn’t know what to do to achieve the perfect result — and prefers not to do it at all.
Self-restraint — a person subconsciously does not want to become successful, to stand out from the crowd. As children, we are often taught that it is wrong and reprehensible to live differently or to do something different.
Disobedience — a person does not perform a task because he subconsciously does not agree with it. Often occurs when the task seems useless.
Fatigue is a kind of mutiny of the body, which signals that it does not have enough resources to complete the task. Procrastination is a common symptom of burnout.
Another view of the causes of procrastination is related to scientific and technological progress and the term “decision paralysis”. Modern man has so many choices that thinking about possible options “eats up all our energy.” As a result, you can’t choose anything.
A rational view of the problem is provided by the theory of time motivation. According to it, a person’s motivation to do a particular thing depends on four components: confidence in success, value for the individual (the expected reward), deadline to completion, and sensitivity to the delay in completion. The greater the confidence in success and the value, the higher the desire of the person to do business. The more time before the deadline or the more likely it is that the expected work period will be delayed, the less desire to do business.
Types of procrastination
According to Milgram’s research, there are several types of procrastination:
Household-postponing regular household chores like taking out garbage or washing dishes.
Procrastination of decision – making-delaying the choice of any decisions when all the necessary information is already available.
Neurotic-delaying vital decisions.
Academic-putting off all things related to learning.
Compulsive-procrastination as a stable type of behavior.
Researchers Chu and Choi classify procrastinators into passive-those who do not want to postpone things for later, but do it, and active-those who consciously postpone things until the last, because they are comfortable working under the pressure of deadlines.
J. R. Ferrari divides passive procrastinators (and there are obviously most of them) into indecisive ones — those who are afraid of making a mistake and procrastinating because of it, and avoidant ones-those who are afraid of being evaluated by other people.
Consequences of postponing cases
What will happen if you constantly postpone things for later:
progressive decline in self-esteem,
drop in academic performance.
The fight against procrastination will help to improve the situation in the above areas — self-esteem, health, and academic performance. Let’s figure out how to beat procrastination.
Rules for combating procrastination
How to deal with procrastination? Since the reasons for postponing things for later can be completely different, as well as the scale of the consequences, the methods of confrontation should also differ.
It is necessary to deal with the load of outstanding tasks, as with a cluttered attic: consider each thing separately and understand what to throw out of it, what to move to another place, and what to leave as it is.
So, we begin to disassemble our “attic”.
Decide on your life goals
If you avoid making decisions by using procrastination, then first figure out your priorities. There are several ways to do this:
Setting long-term, medium-term, and short-term goals. Think about the most important goals for 5-10 years. Based on them, set goals for the next year. Then – for a month. Fix all this in one place, for example, make a mindmap.
Identification of priority areas in life. Select 5-6 areas that are important to you (study, sports, family, friendship, and others). Decide what you want to achieve in each of them in a month, a year, and five years.
Setting goals can take a whole day or more, but it’s worth it. Now, when making a decision, you will proceed from your priorities.
Give up the excess
The constant postponement of certain tasks can be a signal that these tasks are unnecessary for you. Do you need a swimming pool if you already do sports? Is learning a second language really necessary right now, or is it just a fashion statement?
Look again at your priorities and goals. Don’t be afraid to give up what you don’t need to fight procrastination.
Sort your cases
When everything is neatly laid out on the shelves, it is much easier to proceed to their execution. Case sorting systems are described in time management. The most famous is the Eisenhower matrix, which divides cases into important and urgent, important and non-urgent, unimportant and urgent, unimportant and non-urgent.
Reasons for postponing things for later
Another way is to distribute the tasks depending on the deadlines. Here, a list of tasks is compiled and the time of their execution is set. Special attention should be paid to small tasks: if the execution does not require more than 5 minutes, do it immediately, forgetting about postponing for later.
Distribute your forces
Athletes know how important it is to distribute efforts correctly. The winner is not the one who started the best, but the one who saved his strength for the final dash. Do not try to do everything in one day-distribute the load evenly throughout the week. Use your most productive phases of the day to solve difficult tasks, and then the fight against procrastination will be easier.
Train your willpower
Even with the most well-designed system, it can be difficult and unpleasant to get down to business. The good news is that you can learn to force yourself to do something that is difficult and not very pleasant. How? With the help of daily habits: push-ups, exercise, evening cleaning, learning new foreign words. Every day, forcing yourself to take on a small and not very pleasant task for you, you will soon feel that more global affairs are not so terrible.
Organize your work
To write an essay or a large essay is exactly the case from the category “important and urgent” and exactly corresponds to the goals of the student. But why is it so hard to force yourself to overcome procrastination? Because the task seems huge, like an elephant. But if this” elephant ” is cut into pieces, then you will not notice how you will eat it. Divide difficult tasks into smaller ones and set yourself small deadlines. Move towards implementation gradually — this will greatly facilitate the fight against postponing things for later.
Motivation is the main shield of the fighter against procrastination. Constantly remind yourself not only that you need to sit down for a particular task, but also about why it is necessary. Change the phrase “I must” to ” It’s my choice, because…”.
What else to do with procrastination? Use visualization: imagine what fruits will bring you successful completion of the task, what a spiritual uplift and a great mood awaits you. Do not forget to praise and reward yourself for completing tasks. Who, if not you?
Make a promise
Another way to deal with procrastination is a sense of responsibility. If you promise that you will complete the task by the specified deadline to someone close to you, you will be less likely to fail the deadline. After all, you will fail not only yourself, but also the other person.
At the Foxford home online school, for example, your mentor can become such a person. You can promise him to complete the task by a certain deadline, and the mentor will help you not forget about the task and will support you while working on it.
Don’t try to turn into a superman. Let’s open a secret: there are no people who perform 100% of their tasks on a daily basis. We all get lazy and put things off at times. Everyone has a breakdown.
According to a study conducted among students at Carleton University, the ability to forgive yourself for procrastinating leads to less procrastination in a similar situation in the future.

7 Steps to Next-Level Physical Intimacy
Reconnect with your partner and build physical, sensual, and sexual intimacy with my suggestions below.
Covid-19 has created a multitude of challenges for a lot of people—including in the bedroom. Between a potential lack of privacy, low libidos, mismatched sexual urges, too much together time or no together time due to physical distance, there are plenty of opportunities to feel disconnected and out of sync right now.
Reconnect with your partner and build physical, sensual, and sexual intimacy with my suggestions below. Bonus: a lot of my suggestions work even if you happen to be physically apart!
We’re often in so much of a rush to get to the “good stuff,” that we end up missing out on opportunities for the full body arousal that can accompany a slow build up.
- Rub it up: Massages are underrated. There’s just something sexy about having someone’s genitals straddling your back (or yours straddling theirs) while using hands to rub nice-smelling things all over bare skin. You can even use massage oil candles to play with temperature!
- Slow it down: Undress in front of each other. Do it slowly, intentionally—building up anticipation. Once naked, spend at least 30 minutes taking turns touching and exploring without making contact with any obvious erogenous zones. You’ll likely find that as you touch one another, new, often ignored body parts will experience arousing sensations.
Pro-tip: If you’re far apart, video connect and watch each other undress. Then, take turns telling each other where to touch. Be descriptive (eg. using your pointer and middle fingers, run your nails across your arm from fingertip to shoulder). You can also guide each other in masturbation with or without toys. Watch each other’s reactions so you know what to try next time you’re together.
Personally, feeling cared for and caring for my partners in turn make me feel super connected to them. Our society’s weird relationship to body, as well as histories of trauma, can sometimes make body care feel awkward or scary. If you’re safely able to push past that though, the vulnerability feels super intimate. (Note: these suggestions are limited to in-person contact.)
- Scrub-a-dub: Wash your partner in the shower. Take your time and enjoy the feeling of being cared for/caring. Paying special attention to all of the nooks and crannies is a reminder that the whole body is beautiful and worthy of loving touch.
- Wipe it up: Sex can be messy. Bodily fluids from genitals, sweat, lubricants, saliva, etc. can get all over when having a passionate sex session. Taking the time to help clean partners up afterwards, whether with tissues or your tongue, can feel very intimate.
It can feel scary to share our intimate desires with one another, but when we do share with supportive partners, it opens up a new world of eroticism and arousal. Whether together or apart, creating personalized erotic material is a great way to get intimate and turned on!
- Sexy photoshoot: Taking pictures of yourself is an exercise in self-love that, for some of us, can be arousing in and of itself. When we share those images with others (with their consent) we’re sharing our confidence and sensuality. You can swap image requests and get to know what you and your partner get most excited by!
- Personalized sex stories: For those who enjoy reading their porn, there is nothing better than personalized erotica. Share with a partner the kinds of steamy tales you’d like to read and wait to see what they write. You can even swap stories for images if one of you likes erotica and the other visuals. Knowing that you’re inspiring your partner’s masturbation session can make you feel closer to one another.
- Home-made movies: Try filming your sexual interactions (you can avoid face shots if concerned the videos could get leaked). You can then watch together, or on your own, for a sexy reminder of your sessions, inspiration for masturbation, or as a way to get aroused together. Even if you aren’t generally into porn, seeing you and your partner might be enough to get you going while feeling connected. You can also record solo videos of yourself masturbating, doing sexy dances, or other erotic actions for yourself or to share with partners.
This is the first part of a two-part series exploring intimacy. Next up? Ideas on how to build better emotional intimacy with partners. Got more ideas? Wanna share how these tips worked or didn’t work for you? Feel free to reach out! [email protected]

How should we treat young people? Join us as Dr. Robert Epstein, former Editor-in-Chief of Psychology Today magazine, talks about this topic on today’s Home School Heartbeat with Mike Smith.
With me again today is Dr. Robert Epstein, author of The Case against Adolescence: Rediscovering the Adult in Every Teen. Dr. Epstein, if, as you argue in your book, teen rebellion is not inevitable, how should our perception of young people change?
Dr. Robert Epstein:
Well, we need to look back Mike, at our history. We need to look at teens in other cultures. And basically we’re going to find that we have completely forgotten about how capable young people are. They’re incredibly capable. According to my own research, in many ways they’re as capable or even more capable than mainstream, every day adults. We need to rediscover those capabilities. Young people are capable of being incredibly responsible; they’re capable of learning at an extremely fast pace. That’s what we’ve got to do, we’ve go to rediscover those capabilities, and begin to treat them accordingly. We also have to rescue them from teen culture, so-called teen culture, and basically give them opportunities to join the adult world in meaningful ways. That’s how you're going to see those capabilities expressed. And we can do it, it can be done, but it’s hard if you keep them in the public school system.
Well, that’s very insightful, Dr. Epstein, and thank you for being with us today. Until next time, I’m Mike Smith.

We are emotional beings when we buy food and drink brands. In a crowded and noisy supermarket, our brains are inundated with information overload which we struggle to rationally compute at speed. Our default position is to buy brands that talk to us emotionally, food and drink brands aim to forge emotional connections with consumers. In a world increasingly fascinated by the shiny and the new, it has become ever harder for established brands to maintain the emotional meaning that once made them famous. All too often they rely on sales tactics like discounting, reducing quantity/quality and other margin protecting measures. They have simply lost their strategic strength and resort to hand-to-mouth sales tactics that drive the brand and category value down.
Time and time again we see brands that once had enormous emotional meaning in people’s lives simply lose their way. It need not be this way. They are often sitting on decades of accumulated latent meaning deep in our memory structures. It is possible to refresh those emotional connections to invoke long lost meaning and once again trigger buyers. This is how to do it.
The Six Paths to Building Emotional Meaning
There are six routes for a brand to acquire new relevant meaning. Every brand that means something to us has made that connection by leveraging one or more of these paths. To understand how to refresh that connection we need to explore each path and gain an understanding of what your brand meant to people in the first place, means to people today, and could mean when it’s being refreshed tomorrow:

If you have a pet of your own, you know what it feels like to open your front door to immediately be greeted by kisses and hugs in the form of licks and jumps into your arms. Or to have a warm companion that cuddles up next to you when you are watching television on the couch on a Sunday morning. The mental and physical benefits of owning a pet have been proven. Even just spending a few hours with an animal is known to boost someone’s mental and physical well-being.
This boost in happiness even occurs in us when we are already in good spirits, so imagine what benefits this could have for an individual who may not be as emotionally or physically healthy. This is why pet therapy has been around for centuries, with the first therapeutic potential of animals being recognized in the late 1800s and increasing in popularity ever since then.
Pet therapy is a strategy implemented by health professionals to assist in improving a patient’s social, emotional, or mental functioning with the use of animals. They are commonly used in situations where individuals are experiencing loneliness, stress, or trauma that is life-altering. Dogs and cats are the most popular animals used in pet therapy, but, depending on a person’s preferences or treatment plan, other animals like horses, fish, guinea pigs, and even dolphins have been used before.
What are the mental benefits of pet therapy?
People who receive emotional support from animals often feel less lonely and isolated after every session because it encourages more socialization and companionship. Snowballing off of that, pet therapy also decreases feelings of anxiety and depression by providing comfort to those who might not get it often. Here are some other mental benefits of pet therapy:
- Helps children overcome emotional disorders and speech complications.
- Provides clients with more motivation to recover faster from traumatic events.
- Lessens feelings of boredom.
What are the physical benefits of pet therapy?
Aside from the obvious mental health benefits of pet therapy, many people don’t realize that it provides many physical benefits as well. Individuals with increased physical demands experience improvement in assisted or independent movement. It also helps to lower blood pressure and overall physical discomfort. Higher levels of oxytocin are released, producing a calming effect in the brain, which may actually reduce the amount of medication that some people need to take to alleviate pain.
Considering having your own therapy pet?
If you already own a pet, there are ways to have them certified to be your very own emotional support animal. However, you would need to be authorized for this service and there are a number of qualifications that would have to be met. You can learn more here and if you and your pet meet all of the qualifications, it’s definitely something to consider! It could be really beneficial to you.
A few months ago, a video of a support duck named Daniel The Duck went viral. His owner, Carla Fitzgerald, struggles with episodes of post-traumatic stress disorder. After Daniel was officially declared her emotional support animal, she takes him everywhere so that he can calm her when he senses that she is about to have an attack. Watch the video here:

When enjoying The Sims 3, folks with psychopathic traits usually tend to present aggressive and imply behaviour in the direction of different characters, a research has discovered.
The fashionable life simulation online game permits gamers to create — and likewise assume management over — digital characters, their homes and neighbourhoods.
Experts from Canada requested 205 folks to create a ‘sim’ avatar to symbolize them in interactions with 4 AI-controlled characters, every with a special character.
The crew discovered that these gamers who had been additionally discovered to have extra psychopathic traits had been extra aggressive and fewer pleasant in the direction of the non-player characters.
Psychopathy is a character dysfunction characterised by traits together with deceit, manipulativeness, irresponsibility, aggression and an absence of empathy or regret.
The crew examined psychopathy by the lens of the ‘Cheater-Hawk’ speculation, which means that dishonest and aggressive traits developed to higher achieve sources.

When enjoying The Sims 3, folks with psychopathic traits usually tend to present aggressive and imply behaviour in the direction of different characters, a research has discovered. Pictured, The Sims 3
Experts from Canada requested 205 folks to create a ‘sim’ avatar to symbolize them in interactions with 4 AI-controlled characters, every with a special character. The crew discovered that these gamers who had been additionally discovered to have extra psychopathic traits had been extra aggressive and fewer pleasant in the direction of the non-player characters (inventory picture)
In their research, psychologist Beth Visser of Lakehead University, Ontario, and colleagues created a digital family with 4 sims that had been outwardly equivalent in all respects other than hair and shirt color, however every had totally different personalities.
‘The 4 characters had been created with character traits that may replicate the cheater (misleading, sneaky, charming), hawk (aggressive, impolite, imply), dove (submissive, nervous, shy), and co-operator (good, trusting, cooperative),’ they wrote.
‘More particularly, from among the many 64 doable traits offered by the sport, we selected three traits for every character that appeared to greatest symbolize these qualities.’
As The Sims 3 permits every character to have 5 character traits, the crew gave every two different traits — ‘frugal’ and ‘gentle sleeper’ — which might have minimal impression on recreation play.
For the experiment, every participant was invited to make their very own character to replicate themselves earlier than having this avatar work together with the 4 AI-controlled characters whereas the researchers monitored and analysed the sport play.
The topics had been additionally assessed for psychopathic traits, searching for indicators of manipulative relations, callous impacts, erratic existence and delinquent behaviours.
As anticipated, the crew discovered that these individuals who had been discovered to show increased ranges of psychopathic traits had been additionally extra more likely to present aggressive and unprovoked imply behaviours in the direction of different characters within the recreation.
At the identical time, these topics had been additionally discovered to have fewer interactions in-game which the researchers labeled as being ‘pleasant, humorous and charming’ and concerned complimenting the AI-controlled characters.
According to the researchers, each of those tendencies had been significantly true within the case of male individuals with extra psychopathic traits — and that psychopaths had been extra more likely to be imply to these characters who themselves weren’t aggressive.
‘Our findings might recommend that psychopathic people view the absence of aggressive behaviours as an indicator of weak spot and are ready to take advantage of or aggress towards people who present this type of weak spot,’ the crew defined.
‘Our findings might recommend that psychopathic people view the absence of aggressive behaviours as an indicator of weak spot and are ready to take advantage of or aggress towards people who present this type of weak spot,’ the crew defined. Pictured, a Sim residence
The researchers did discover, nonetheless, that these gamers with increased ranges of psychopathic traits exhibited much less so-called ‘cheater’ behaviours than anticipated, apart from throughout interactions with different aggressive, or ‘hawk’, characters.
‘A doable rationalization for the shortage of cheater behaviours was the shortage of any inducement to cheat,’ the crew wrote of their paper.
‘Although gamers with psychopathic traits had been delinquent of their interactions with different characters, there was no motivation for the characters to go with or be pleasant to different characters.’
‘This behaviour may mimic the real-world behaviour of psychopathic people, in that they won’t have interaction in appeal with out some prospect of future profit.’
For those that get pleasure from torturing their Sims — by, for instance, comically drowning them in a pool by eradicating the exit ladder, as pictured — the crew have provided reassurance that such behaviour will not be essentially indicative of a character dysfunction
‘Further analysis may incorporate a recreation or prize which may elicit cheater ways.’
For those that get pleasure from torturing their Sims — by, for instance, comically drowning them in a pool by eradicating the exit ladder — the crew have provided reassurance that such behaviour will not be essentially indicative of a character dysfunction.
‘There are completely pretty non-psychopathic folks on the market who made a childhood recreation of doing terrible issues to their Sims,’ Professor Visser informed PsyPost.
The full findings of the research had been revealed within the journal Evolutionary Psychological Science.
WOULD YOU KNOW HOW TO SPOT A PSYCHOPATH?
Psychopaths show totally different traits relying on their dysfunction.
Common indicators embrace superficial appeal, a grandiose notion of self-worth, the necessity for stimulation and impulsiveness, pathological mendacity, the power to govern others and an absence of regret and empathy.
But regardless of the favored affiliation, not all psychopaths turn out to be killers.
Experts declare folks often discover psychopaths intriguing, however cannot put their finger on why.
This is right down to incongruous behaviour as a result of psychopaths are likely to do lots of appearing to deceive, or mimic regular reactions, generally altering their views and reactions rapidly.
For instance, Self-professed psychopath Jacob Wells mentioned that upon assembly somebody, he tries to turn out to be ‘probably the most attention-grabbing particular person they know’ and presumably adopts appropriate pursuits and responses to do that.
His response additionally provides away one other frequent trait – a grandiose notion of self-worth – in that he might be probably the most attention-grabbing particular person within the room.
Psychopaths sometimes are likely to exhibit unconvincing emotional responses, with slip-ups together with tone of voice or physique language.
This could also be as a result of they’re unable to know feelings equivalent to concern and love, however can mimic them.
Psychopaths show totally different traits relying on their dysfunction, however frequent indicators embrace superficial appeal and the power to govern others. Despite the favored affiliation, not all psychopaths turn out to be killers (inventory picture)
Generally psychopaths’ ‘feelings’ are shallow and short-lived and there’s a manipulative ulterior motive to exhibiting them.
For instance, Mr Wells mentioned he gives to do favours and tells false secrets and techniques to folks to realize their full belief.
He additionally shows insincere appeal – one other trait related to psychopaths.
He says: ‘I preserve secrets and techniques, and inform them pretend secrets and techniques to additional achieve their belief, and as soon as they belief me sufficient, I ask for favours, reminding them of the favours I did them. I can get actually something from them, which is extremely helpful.’
Psychopaths usually show an unimaginable skill to govern others and generally have the benefit of doing so.
Psychopaths usually have an air of superiority about them, maybe proven by Mr Wells’ perception he can spot different psychopaths
Even knowledgeable Dr Hare, who got here up with the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) used as a diagnostic instrument to find out the place somebody lies on the psychopathy spectrum, warns that anybody might be duped throughout a brief interplay with a psychopath.

We are neither mirror, nor carbon paper, nor kodak fixation
We are systems of mediations of immediacy
Fusions of action, feeling, meaning
– EDIT: This thought was longer. It doesn’t need to be. Instead of the whole tree, here’s a seed. –
Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?
These questions are compelling. And misleading. They assume self the center of it’s own universe.
I don’t believe it is.
I believe identity is a by-product. An interactional phenomenon.
There’s this organism (a human body) interacting with it’s environment (the world). The interaction between body and world produces me.
In other words:
I don’t have a body so much as a body has me in response to it’s environment.
What happens when an organism, with a massive brain acts in the world, and has time to reflect: Me.
I’m not a question. I’m answer.
That’s a bit heady. Let’s get concrete:
A seed is planted.
With soil, rain, and sun it grows: root, stalk, stem.
If it helps, you can think of your body as a tree. Your identity, a bit of fruit, dangling.
(Or maybe a blossom. Pick your fauna. It’s just a metaphor.)
What does it mean to believe I’m a byproduct?
Here’s one thing I think it means:
When my body dies so do I.
The interaction between body and world ceases. The byproduct of that interaction ceases.
The tree dies, the fruit dies with it.
No whafty essence. No ethereal afterlife.
The only life after your death are the seeds you sow.
If it helps you can think of the interaction like a conversation. Might as well make it an interesting one.

If you have started to feel like your partner may be cheating on you, it is important to proceed with caution and avoid jumping to conclusions until you have gathered enough evidence. There are various signs that your partner may be cheating, although the specific behaviours may differ depending on the dynamics of your relationship. However, there are some common indicators that you can watch out for. Most importantly, you should trust your instincts – if you have a gut feeling that something is not right, it is often worth investigating further as your intuition may be correct. One of the ways by which you can spy on your husband phone is through MSPY from which you can completely track his phone and can watch his phone all the time.

Table of Contents
1. Secretive phone or computer use.
One common sign of cheating is when your partner becomes increasingly secretive with their phone or computer usage. They may use their devices more frequently than before and take extra precautions to protect their privacy, such as setting passwords on devices that previously did not require them.
If your partner begins to frequently delete texts and clear their browsing history, it could be a sign that they are hiding something. Additionally, if they are unwilling to let you review their phone or computer, even if you have a valid reason, this can be cause for concern. After all, what reason could they have for keeping their device usage a secret, unless they have something to hide?
2. He takes his phone with him everywhere
If you notice that your husband is constantly keeping his phone close and never leaving it out of his sight, it may be a sign of cyber cheating. By always keeping his phone with him, including in the bathroom or other private areas, he may be trying to hide something from you. This behavior is typical of cheating spouses who engage in online affairs and want to keep their activities hidden from their partners. They may be talking to someone else and don’t want you to find out about it.
3. They’re more focused on their appearance.
A change in appearance, such as a new hairstyle, sudden focus on physical fitness, or an increase in shopping for new clothes, can indicate that your partner is cheating. Although it’s possible that they’re simply trying to make a positive change in their life or impress you, it’s worth noting that cheating individuals tend to be more conscious of their appearance. This is because they are trying to impress their affair partner or cover up any physical signs of infidelity.
4. They’re gone more often than they used to be.
Just like looking nicer than usual, being gone more often is another classic sign of an affair. “Your partner seems to have a lot more work drifting into the wee hours of the night, more weekend calls to be at work or on a ‘business trip,’” Kenner says. But instead, they’re creating time to be with someone else. Even if your partner isn’t cheating, spending less time together can also be an unfortunate sign that you’re falling out of love with each other.
6. New Mannerisms and Behaviour
If you suspect that your husband may be cheating, you may notice that he is telling elaborate stories to explain his absences or providing sarcastic responses to deflect your inquiries. Pay attention to any trendy phrases or gestures that he may be using, as they could offer a clue as to who he has been spending time with. A cheating spouse may also experience feelings of guilt, leading them to act in unusual ways to cover up their infidelity. For instance, they may avoid spending time alone with you and create excuses to stay away. If you notice these signs, it’s important to investigate further to confirm or refute your suspicions.
7. Frequent Late Nights
If you’ve noticed that your partner is frequently absent or missing from your shared space, or if they tend to stay up late after you’ve gone to bed, it could be a sign that they’re engaging in online chats or spending time with someone else under the guise of work. Keep an eye out for any changes in their usual routine, such as suddenly working longer hours or staying late at the office more often. If you find that your partner is frequently “unavailable” at work when you try to reach them, it could also be a red flag. These deviations from the norm, without a clear explanation, could suggest that your partner is being unfaithful and it’s worth exploring further.
8. Significantly less, or more, or different sex in your relationship.
Changes in sexual activity in your relationship can be a potential sign of infidelity. Reduced sexual activity may indicate that your partner is focusing their attention on someone else, while an increase in sexual activity may be an attempt to cover up their infidelity. Additionally, a feeling of emotional disconnection during sex may suggest that your partner’s affections lie elsewhere. If your partner begins introducing new techniques or activities into your sex life, it could also be a warning sign that they’re learning these from someone else outside of the relationship. While these changes may be enjoyable in the moment, it’s important to be aware of them as they could point to possible infidelity.
9. Friends seem uncomfortable around you.
In cases of infidelity, you, as the betrayed partner, are often the last to know. The cheater’s friends are often aware of the infidelity from the beginning, and your own friends may find out long before you do. This knowledge can make these individuals feel uneasy around you. The cheater’s friends may attempt to steer clear of you or act overly kind towards you. Your friends may also avoid discussing your relationship and make an extra effort to be kind to you.
10. He doesn’t post your pictures like before
When you are in a relationship, it’s natural to share your partner’s pictures on social media with pride. However, if you notice that your husband is no longer posting pictures of you like he used to, it could be a sign that he is cheating online. In the same way, if you ask him to post pictures of you together and he hesitates or refuses to do so, it might be an indication that he is seeing someone else.
FAQ’s About Your Husband Is Cheating
If you have started to feel like your partner may be cheating on you, there are various signs that your partner may be cheating, although the specific behaviours may differ depending on the dynamics of your relationship. However, some common indicators that you can watch out for include secretive phone or computer use, a change in appearance, being gone more often than they used to be, new mannerisms and behavior, and frequent late nights. Most importantly, you should trust your instincts – if you have a gut feeling that something is not right, it is often worth investigating further as your intuition may be correct.
Cyber cheating is when a person engages in online affairs with someone else while being in a relationship. If you notice that your partner is constantly keeping his phone close and never leaving it out of his sight, it may be a sign of cyber cheating. By always keeping his phone with him, including in the bathroom or other private areas, he may be trying to hide something from you. This behavior is typical of cheating spouses who engage in online affairs and want to keep their activities hidden from their partners.
One of the ways by which you can spy on your husband’s phone is through MSPY from which you can completely track his phone and can watch his phone all the time. However, it is important to remember that spying on someone’s phone without their consent is illegal and can have serious consequences.
If you suspect that your partner is cheating, it is important to proceed with caution and avoid jumping to conclusions until you have gathered enough evidence. It is important to talk to your partner about your concerns in a calm and respectful manner. If your partner denies any wrongdoing, it may be worth seeking the help of a couples counselor or therapist to work through your issues together.
Coping with the emotional pain of infidelity can be difficult. It is important to take care of yourself and seek support from loved ones or a therapist. It may also be helpful to take time to process your emotions and reflect on your own needs and desires moving forward. Remember that healing takes time, and it is important to be patient and kind to yourself throughout the process.

It’s been nearly 8 months since my second child (a boy) was born and life has been so gosh darn good to us lately. The holidays are en route, were feeling fairly settled in our new home (almost two months later and we only have a handful of boxes left), Charlie just turned two, Ben is crawling, sleeping (through! the! night!), he’s eating, laughing & rarely crying. And, oh yeah, the school year is in full, chaotic, messy swing.
I’ve been pondering the idea of routine lately and what part it plays in my life. What things and events do I choose to include in my every day? And what things are just purposeless filler for the empty spaces that pop up. I want this spot to be an intentional part of my routine. This check in of saying hi. Sharing what’s new with my family – how we’ve been seeking joy lately, what we’ve been cooking, making, baking, celebrating, doing. How we’ve been making our home and, perhaps most importantly, memory keeping for years down the line when I know I’ll be happy to have everything here in a neat little package. All those things currently live in a vault on my phone called “photos”. It can all be laid out here in a scroll-able, readable, date-stamped format which I love. I want to use this space as a digital journal, scrapbook, cookbook, and mindful reflection and guide for each season of life. I think it could become so good for me, you guys.
I feel like I’ve started and not finished this post innumerable times over the last few months, so I’m finally here now. I’m making time for this little piece of my routine. Today and many suns to come, I’m here saying Hi. Hello. How are you?

Multilateral demonstrations can be difficult for human supervisors to proved because they require divided attention. We propose Bilateral Iterated Best Response (BIBR), a new algorithm that reduces supervisor burden by iteratively demonstrating each manipulator unilaterally while rolling out an estimated robot policy for the other manipulator. We present a web-based user study of a two-agent gridworld domain. We confirm prior work that bilateral demonstrations are noisier and longer when the task is asymmetric, and show that BIBR improves success rate in the asymmetric task, while learning policies that have shorter and smoother trajectories.
We model the process by which the brain and the computer in a brain-computer interface (BCI) co-adapt to one another. We show in this simplified Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) model how the brain’s neural encoding can adapt to the task of controlling the computer, at the same time that the computer’s adaptive decoder can adapt to the task of estimating the intention signal, leading to improvement in the system’s performance. We then propose an encoder-aware decoder adaptation scheme, which allows the computer to drive improvement forward faster by anticipating the brain’s adaptation.

Gaming Disorder – A Real Medical Condition
Addiction to playing video games has been recognized by WHO in 2019, but the industry and many gamers refuse to believe that the games can present such a level of danger. It has been compared to online gambling addiction on casinos and sports with bonus codes such as the Lucky VIP promo code, but people have not taken it seriously in the past. There are millions of people who are addicted to gaming and neglect many other aspects of their life. It is also getting increasingly difficult to diagnose and treat this disorder.
How It Works
Playing video games in general still comes with a bit of stigma, as those who enjoy video games as a hobby are often seen as antisocial or unproductive. However, this is not entirely true.
Several circumstances go into the creation of addiction to gaming. First of all, there is a rewards system that allows players to track their progress and receive virtual trophies and items that are a sign of dedication and skill. Sometimes, these items are seasonal, meaning that they are available only during Christmas, Halloween, or some other special event, which increases the demand for them.
Gaming truly becomes a problem when the sleep schedule, the diet, and the responsibilities all take a backseat to what’s happening on the screen. Those who game for more than 8 hours every day, with little regard for what’s happening around them may be addicted. Diagnosing the disease is a bit tricky though. According to WHO: “For gaming disorder to be diagnosed, the behavior pattern must be of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning and would normally have been evident for at least 12 months.” People with this disorder can develop depression and anxiety.
Who Is at Risk?
In 2019, Dr. Susumu Higuchi, the head of the Kurihama Medical and Addiction Centre in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, said that, out of 269 patients suffering from internet addiction, 241 have gaming disorder and out of those 215 are males.
Most people encounter problems with gaming disorder when they are taking a gap year or they are in college. The reason behind this, most likely, is a combination of the lack of structure that comes with living with your parents in primary and high school and the lack of ambition and future perspective. Male college students, being between 18 and 24 years of age on average, are the biggest risk group, though others are not immune either.
Video games provide excellent escapism from life’s problems, especially when they use the aforementioned rewards system. Having a game yell you that you are great while you are losing control of other aspects of your life has you reaching out for it again and again. The immediate awards, as unreal as they are, are preferable to long-term investments in your knowledge and future work.
It is very hard to treat someone from gaming disorder, as the internet and games are everywhere. Complete abstinence is almost impossible in the modern world. However, some progress can be made with counseling and denying access to video games, whether they be console, computer, or mobile games.

Recently, I purchased a used Landrover. I didn’t make the purchase in order to cruise the trails and backroads of rural Saskatchewan. Nor did I buy the vehicle with hopes of saving money on repairs. In fact, the reason I purchased the vehicle was for its self-expressive benefits.
I liked the way I felt driving the Landrover versus my Nissan. Although the Landrover has great functional benefits, it truly was the emotional benefits that attracted me to the brand.
Functional versus Emotional Benefits
Sometimes the functional benefit of a product or service just isn’t enough to stand apart from the pack. Sometimes it’s parity at best.
A functional benefit is appealing at a different level than an emotional benefit. Does Landrover make a better SUV than Nissan? Does Harley Davidson make a better motorcycle than Honda? I’m not too sure, but I can tell you the emotional self-expressive benefits of those brands certainly are more prevalent. Thus, it makes sense to move beyond functional benefits and consider self-expressive, social and emotional benefits as a basis for the value proposition of your brand.
Self-expressive benefits allow brands to become symbols of a person’s self-concept. They can provide a vehicle by which a person can express his or her self. When a brand provides a self-expressive benefit, the connection between the brand and the customer is likely to be heightened.
Be a Charismatic Brand
Brands that can get past the functional benefits and communicate an emotional benefit will build a valuable emotional connection and trust with their customers.
This famous John Caples ad is a classic example of connecting at an emotional level. The ad does not show or describe any functional benefit, but it describes how learning to play the piano will make you feel. This example is one of the first headlines that really sold an emotional benefit of a product or service.

The tasks we solve at LUDIKA are very different and may have different requirements. When we say "yes" to a task we go into it with 100% commitment.
Our closeness ensures our results. We always make sure to build trust and a solid relationship with the child and family as a starting point.
At LUDIKA we are not conceptual because we know that no two people are the same. We focus on the child's strengths and personal toolbox, and we initiate tailor-made training to suit the child's resources and needs. This means that we can see our work from different angles.

The brain plays perhaps the most crucial role in any living organism’s life processes, from simpler tasks like breathing to more varied operations that also include basic and complex perception abilities, memory retention, and recall. Many regard it as “plastic,” which signifies that it continues to grow and develop as a result of one’s learning and experiences. This “plasticity” of the brain has encouraged many to engage in cognitive training, which is a wider term for tools that help improve our memory, perception, and other cognitive skills.
What exactly is brain training?
Training your brain entails participating in various activities that test and enhance the abilities of an individual in various fields. For instance, games that involve the use of visuospatial reasoning, dance, art, music, and so on.
brain games offers a variety of tests, assessments, and interventions designed by a team of professional scientists, psychologists, neurologists, and even engineers, to know, evaluate, and decipher the current position of an individual’s cognitive health. Each test is created for different categories of cognition. Based on the results of a total of 23 tests, the company also provides a personalised training programme with an immediate understanding of where an individual stands. This regime is tailored for the specific needs and requirements of an individual—geared towards their unique personal cognitive growth and development.
Brain training programmes primarily involve the evaluation, development, and enhancement of the following cognitive skills and abilities:
Aside from these, there are numerous other tools that can be used to improve the various functions and activities of the brain. This includes specially designed games that work on training, enhancing, and improving various skills. CogniFit also offers a variety of functions that determine an individual’s performance level and growth – it becomes easy for an individual to assess how far they have come.
With the help of these assessment tools, they measure cognitive skills and how they are related to neurological disorders. Not only are these tools made for schools, families, or organisations, but they are also designed for individuals who want to take the tests themselves and improve along the lines of mental capabilities.

Let`s dive deeper into what school psychologist contract jobs are and what makes them a great option for your mental health career.
What are School Psychologist Contract Jobs?
School psychologist contract jobs are essentially part-time or full-time positions in which mental health professionals work for a predetermined amount of time in a school district. Contract jobs are often offered for a set number of weeks or months and can be renewed if the parties involved choose to continue working together.
School psychologist contract jobs are becoming more common because of the growing need for mental health professionals in schools. These jobs are flexible, allowing mental health professionals to work in different districts and avoid getting tied down to one specific school.
Why Choose a School Psychologist Contract Job?
Choosing a school psychologist contract job offers a range of benefits, including flexibility, higher pay, and a chance to work in various school districts.
School psychologist contract jobs offer flexibility, allowing mental health professionals to work on a part-time or full-time basis. This flexibility allows mental health professionals to work around their schedule, giving them more time to pursue other interests.
School psychologist contract jobs offer higher pay than traditional school psychologist jobs. The pay is typically higher because the contract psychologist is not employed by the school district full-time, and the district doesn`t have to pay for benefits.
Chance to Work in Various School Districts
School psychologist contract jobs offer a chance to work in various school districts, allowing mental health professionals to gain valuable experience and exposure to different student populations. Working in different districts also offers a chance to network and build relationships with other mental health professionals in the field.
How to Find School Psychologist Contract Jobs
Finding school psychologist contract jobs can be challenging, but there are a few ways to start your search. One way is to check job boards online, such as Indeed, Monster, or Glassdoor. Another way is to reach out to staffing agencies that specialize in mental health jobs.
Networking is also an effective strategy. Attend job fairs and conferences, and join professional organizations that cater to school psychologists. Networking with other mental health professionals can help you identify job openings and build relationships with potential employers.
School psychologist contract jobs offer mental health professionals a flexible schedule, higher pay, and a chance to work in various school districts. Pursuing contract positions is an excellent option for school psychologists looking for a change of pace and more opportunities to broaden their experience. By keeping an eye on job boards, networking with other professionals, and working with staffing agencies, mental health professionals can increase their chances of finding and securing a contract job that meets their unique needs and preferences.

Gender inequality in accessing STEM studies is a serious problem that higher education needs to solve. But the reasons for this are not clear yet. Among the arguments considered, a prevalent one has to do with a supposed innate male competence for science and engineering. In a controlled experiment involving 356 female and 394 male participants, of ages ranging from 6 to 18 years, subjects were asked to solve tasks by writing computer programs, and performance was measured as the number of tasks solved in a given time. Statistical analysis of the learning curves showed that female participants performed as well as male participants in acquiring coding skills and problem-solving. This result contradicts this innate bias, showing that both genders qualify at the same level for computer programming, and suggests policies to gender-balance affiliation to STEM careers, since an early exposure to the computer sciences might combat stereotypes like «coding is only for boys». In the paper we analyze in detail the main results of this experiment, as well as direct feedback from female and male subjects in solving the tasks.

This article presents an account of job discrimination according to which people redefine merit in a manner congenial to the idiosyncratic credentials of individual applicants from desired groups. In three studies, participants assigned male and female applicants to gender-stereotypical jobs. However, they did not view male and female applicants as having different strengths and weaknesses. Instead, they redefined the criteria for success at the job as requiring the specific credentials that a candidate of the desired gender happened to have. Commitment to hiring criteria prior to disclosure of the applicant’s gender eliminated discrimination, suggesting that bias in the construction of hiring criteria plays a causal role in discrimination.

From Exclusion to Inclusion
A young victim of exclusion is a Young person who has lost all self-confidence, as well as confidence in others (often including members of their own family); someone whose self-esteem has hit rock bottom and who, despite appearances, is often very lonely; a Young person who has to struggle every day to eat, to keep up appearances … and as such is unable to make plans and imagine a future.
A Young adult who has achieved inclusion is someone with a life project. They have self-confidence and have developed professional and social skills. They don’t feel a daily sense of threat and have learned to interact with others.
Furthermore, a Young adult who has achieved insertion no longer worries about getting through each day; instead they can start to make plans and imagine a future, take charge of their professional life, and also assume the responsibilities of being a spouse, a parent, a neighbor, a citizen.
This transformation of a Youth existing in exclusion, to an adult taking control of his or her life, lies at the heart of LP4Y’s social value.
Such a transformation reflects positively on the family,
and also, more widely, on the community in which the individual lives.
Youth accompanied in the Life Project Centers
- Aged 17 to 24
- Living below the poverty threshold of US$1.90 per day
- Unsupported by family, victims of addiction, street youth, young unmarried mothers, ex-prisoners, young people with disabilities, young prisoners, migrants
First Criteria: the Youth’s motivation for change, which is checked during the motivation interview. The decision to follow the LP4Y track must come from the Youth.
LPC, integration eco-system
It takes a lot to prepare a young person for adult life. Young people from comfortable backgrounds would find it hard to name every teacher, coach, friend, trainer, family member, etc … who played a part in preparing them for adult life. They may number in the hundreds.
On the other hand, excluded Youth may find it hard to name even a handful of adults who played an active part in their upbringing. If we want to help such young people to integrate, we have to create the right conditions to allow them to join the decent world. We need to create a network of people who will play a part in their integration and who will help them learn the ropes and codes of the environments related to their projects.
The elements needed to allow young victims of poverty and exclusion to achieve successful integration are the following:
- Coaching, both individual and in groups
- Rooting the project in the community
- Communicating with local actors, facilitated by Community Mobilizers
- Involving committed economic actors
- Offering alumni participation (Entrepreneurs’ House, YIN, STARS Club)
The coach should be a sounding board for the youth. Through constant questioning the coach enables the youth to identify his or her own strengths and resourcefulness. Other contributors can be the family (sometimes), friends, the LP4Y team, plus also the trainers, professionals, suppliers and clients of the economic activity, and businesses.
This integration ecosystem is the training ground in which each Youth can evolve. It must be tailored to each individual.
Without doubt one of the gambles of the LP4Y project has been the ability to believe in the friendship, support and generosity of the hundreds of people across 8 countries sharing a common goal: the social and professional integration of all youth.
According to the young adults, friendship has been the biggest factor in their desire to make life changes.
The Youth at the center of the ecosystem
The LP4Y model has been developed by the Young themselves. They are involved with the development of the project on a daily basis.
Every day at LP4Y we see how important it is for the Young to develop self-knowledge if they want to build a project. And this is something best done by the Young themselves, working together to identify each other's’ personalities. For example, one of the first games they play when they join the center involves getting to know one of their new teammates and then creating their “portrait”, by making a collage with cut outs, drawings and words on a large poster. This turns out to be an excellent means of both experiencing and highlighting the importance of getting to know others when working in a team.
These “portraits” were assembled with such skill that we took the concept a little further …

Another advantage of coloring pages is that they provide your child with the chance to strengthen their hand eye coordination, as they learn to color in the lines. This skill will develop gradually as they go from struggling to stay inside the lines, to perfecting this fine motor activity. The last benefit I would like to discuss, actually consists of two advantages. Coloring allows your child's creativity to blossom, but it also provides insight into a child's emotions, and often child psychologists will utilize this tool to learn more about a child's feelings or frame of mind at a particular time. This is another great benefit of coloring for children, it can help you to understand how exactly your child feels at any given time. Armed with this new information, don't you feel that providing your child with these powerful learning tools is something that you should do? Coloring pages offer a great way to combine learning and enjoyment for your child.

Review of IBS: Psychosocial Assessment and Treatment, by Edward Blanchard
Thomas Bell, Psy.D.
Unfortunately I have to begin this review with a brief explanation of irritable bowel syndrome or IBS as it is still a relatively unknown even though an common disorder. (Blanchard does go into this issue more thoroughly in the book, but generally speaking the incidence has been estimated at between 10 and 30% of the population with 5 to 10% of that number experiencing it to a severe or disabling degree). IBS is a multi-faceted disorder of intestinal motility which is generally speaking usually diarrhea or constipation predominant. It is a functional disorder in the sense that there are typically no organic structural findings and in the sense that the problem is in the way the body works. Appropriate treatment generally includes dietary and lifestyle changes and may or may not include medication which at this point in time is directed at the symptoms which can include extreme pain. There are several potential causes, including stress, and it is often associated with depression and anxiety.
As both a psychologist and an IBS sufferer, I found the book comforting, and saying "comforting" is saying a lot when you?re talking about IBS. However, the amount of research and analysis he offers here not only confirms my experiences and validates my clinical insights and practices. The book should also provide the means for other psychologists and mental health professionals to help the many of us out here. So much for the personal!
Understanding the wealth of material he offers here does require some psychological sophistication, but it is rewarding to any who choose to pursue it. The issues he raises and discusses in a clear and straightforward fashion are important issues for physicians (not just gastroenterological specialists) and patients. As he and others have made clear at this point in time, psychological treatments such as hypnosis and cognitive behavioral therapy can offer a great deal to patients in addition to what has come to be expected of them in the treatment of anxiety and depression. This is not the type of psychotherapy where you sit for hours talking about the past, and this is an important message for psychologists, physicians, and health professionals and educators to get out to the public.
Whichever particular treatment turns out to be best, and of course this depends on the skill of the practitioner and the needs of the particular patient, the important message of the book is that these treatments do work and there is considerable evidence that they do work, evidence that he evaluates here: hypnosis, cognitive behavioral treatment, and brief psychodynamic therapy are all effective in treating the disorder and all of these plus biofeedback and relaxation are helpful for treating specific symptoms.
There are, however, several aspects of psychological treatment that need to be considered by physicians wanting to refer for treatment and patients seeking help. It is very important that the practitioner have a good knowledge of the disorder as there are potential dangers both in inappropriate treatment and in treatment that does not seem relevent to patients. The practioner should be sophisticated enough to screen out and deal with inappropriate candidates. The practitioner also should be aware of and be able to use appropriately tools such as Blanchard provides for symptom and dietary tracking and monitoring and also be able to provide appropriate referrals for dietary and lifestyle programs.
In additon to the above, Blanchard provides an analysis of prediction of treatment response which provides insight into who will benefit in what way from this type of treatment and who probably won't. There is a good summary of what is currently known about the disorder and an analysis of the extent and significance of what appears to be altered pain sensitivity along with an analysis of whether stress precedes or follows the start of IBS.
He also provides detailed treatment manuals for hypnotherapy, cognitive therapy, and cognitive behavioral treatment as well as numerous useful forms for assessment and treatment and a description of a model for a psychoeducational support group. All in all, Dr. Blanchard has done a valuable service for psychologists interested in providing treatment for IBS sufferers. He has also done a valuable service for primary care physicians and patients interested in pursuing this type of treatment. With the availability of this book, any patient or physician should expect competent and knowledgeable treatment from any mental health practitioner, and expect that the treatment will be appropriately directed toward the problem.
Blanchard, Edward B. Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Psychosocial Assessment and Treatment. Washington, DC, American Psychological Association, 2001.
Another recent book, Breaking the Bonds of Irritable Bowel Syndrome : A Psychological Approach to Regaining Control of Your Life, by Barbara Bolen (New Harbinger Press, 2000), should prove helpful to psychologists and physicians as well as the general public which is it's primary audience. Other helpful books include Be Good to Your Gut, by Pat Baird (Cambridge, MA., Blackwell Healthcare, 1996) on dietrary suggestions;
Eating for IBS : 175 Delicious, Nutritious, Low-Fat, Low-Residue Recipes to Stabilize the Touchiest Tummy by Heather Van Vorous (Marlowe, 2000); and Food Allergies and Food Intolerance : The Complete Guide to Their Identification and Treatment by Jonathan Brostoff and Linda Gamlin (Rochester, VT, Healing Arts Press, 1999) on the possibility of concurrent food allergies or intolerances..

Introductory Statistics: Concepts, Models, and Applications
David W. Stockburger
Before an experiment is performed, the question of experimental design must be addressed. Experimental design refers to the manner in which the experiment will be set up, specifically the way the treatments were administered to subjects. Treatments will be defined as quantitatively or qualitatively different levels of experience. For example, in an experiment on the effects of caffeine, the treatment levels might be exposure to different amounts of caffeine, from 0 to .0375 mg. In a very simple experiment there are two levels of treatment; none, called the control condition, and some, called the experimental condition.
The type of analysis or hypothesis test used is dependent upon the type of experimental design employed. The two basic types of experimental designs are crossed and nested.
In a crossed design each subject sees each level of the treatment conditions. In a very simple experiment, such as one that studies the effects of caffeine on alertness, each subject would be exposed to both a caffeine condition and a no caffeine condition. For example, using the members of a statistics class as subjects, the experiment might be conducted as follows. On the first day of the experiment, the class is divided in half with one half of the class getting coffee with caffeine and the other half getting coffee without caffeine. A measure of alertness is taken for each individual, such as the number of yawns during the class period. On the second day the conditions are reversed; that is, the individuals who received coffee with caffeine are now given coffee without and vice-versa. The size of the effect will be the difference of alertness on the days with and without caffeine.
The distinguishing feature of crossed designs is that each individual will have more than one score. The effect occurs within each subject, thus these designs are sometimes referred to as WITHIN SUBJECTS designs.
Crossed designs have two advantages. One, they generally require fewer subjects, because each subject is used a number of times in the experiment. Two, they are more likely to result in a significant effect, given the effects are real.
Crossed designs also have disadvantages. One, the experimenter must be concerned about carry-over effects. For example, individuals not used to caffeine may still feel the effects of caffeine on the second day, even though they did not receive the drug. Two, the first measurements taken may influence the second. For example, if the measurement of interest was score on a statistics test, taking the test once may influence performance the second time the test is taken. Three, the assumptions necessary when more than two treatment levels are employed in a crossed design may be restrictive.
In a nested design, each subject receives one, and only one, treatment condition. The critical difference in the simple experiment described above would be that the experiment would be performed on a single day, with half the individuals receiving coffee with caffeine and half without receiving caffeine. The size of effect in this case is determined by comparing average alertness between the two groups.
The major distinguishing feature of nested designs is that each subject has a single score. The effect, if any, occurs between groups of subjects and thus the name BETWEEN SUBJECTS is given to these designs.
The relative advantages and disadvantages of nested designs are opposite those of crossed designs. First, carry over effects are not a problem, as individuals are measured only once. Second, the number of subjects needed to discover effects is greater than with crossed designs.
Some treatments by their nature are nested. The effect of sex, for example, is necessarily nested. One is either a male or a female, but not both. Current religious preference is another example. Treatment conditions which rely on a pre-existing condition are sometimes called demographic or blocking factors.

It is a common societal norm for individuals to enter into the institution of marriage at some point in their lives. However, it is important to recognize that not every individual may feel inclined to participate in this tradition. As a son or daughter, expressing one’s reluctance to get married may be a difficult conversation to have with a parent, but it is an important one that deserves careful consideration.
The decision to get married is a personal one that should be based on individual values, beliefs, and desires. It is important to reflect on one’s own goals and aspirations, and whether or not marriage aligns with those aspirations. Additionally, it is important to consider the responsibilities and commitments that come with marriage, such as financial obligations, shared living arrangements, and potentially having children.
It is important to communicate openly and honestly with one’s parents about their decision to not get married. This may involve having difficult conversations, but it is important to express one’s thoughts and feelings in a respectful and considerate manner. It may also be helpful to provide alternative solutions or compromises, such as committing to a long-term relationship without legal marriage.
Ultimately, the decision to get married should be made with careful consideration and personal reflection. It is important for individuals to prioritize their own happiness and well-being, and to communicate honestly with loved ones about their decisions.

I’m not going to cry all the time
nor shall I laugh all the time,
I don’t prefer one “strain” to another.
I’d have the immediacy of a bad movie,
not just a sleeper, but also the big,
overproduced first-run kind.
I want to be at least as alive as the vulgar. And if some aficionado of my mess says “That’s not like Frank!,” all to the good! I don’t wear brown and grey suits all the time, do I? No. I wear workshirts to the opera,
often. I want my feet to be bare,
I want my face to be shaven, and my heart—you can’t plan on the heart, but
the better part of it, my poetry, is open.
Frank O’Hara (via feellng)
When I loved myself enough, I began leaving whatever wasn’t healthy. This meant people, jobs, my own beliefs and habits - anything that kept me small. My judgement called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.
Kim McMillen (via h-o-r-n-g-r-y)
(Source: aurorefleurs, via coffeecattheartt)
I don’t know why people are afraid of lust. Then I can imagine that they are very afraid of me, for I have a great lust for everything. A lust for life, a lust for how the summer-heated street feels beneath my feet, a lust for the touch of another’s skin on my skin…a lust for everything. I even lust after cake. Yes, I am very lusty and very scary.
C. JoyBell C. (via observando)
A book, too, can be a star, ‘explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,’ a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.
Madeleine L’Engle (via feellng)
I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
Audrey Hepburn (via feellng)
sometimes you don’t need a goal in life, you don’t need to know the big picture. you just need to know what you’re going to do next!

Meditation, is it for you?
Why not dedicate some time in your busy life schedule just for you? Inner peace, tranquillity, self introspection, where you can unravel your life’s decisions and bring calmness into your surroundings. Tune out from the everyday pressures and worries and learn to centre yourself and truly become one.
How do you meditate?
Firstly you need to make the mental and physical commitment to the meditation. Quite time, no distractions. Is the phone off the hook? Are you in a place where you can sit quietly without being disturbed? It is important to note that meditations should not be performed whilst driving in the car – especially as you have your eyes closed! Find a special room in your house, somewhere where you can dim the lights and is not too hot or too cool. You can sit either on a chair or on cushions on the floor, or even lying down in bed. Lying in bed is especially good for people new to meditations as five minutes sitting upright in a chair can seem like a lifetime when you’re learning. Remember that there really is no wrong or right to this ancient practice. Do what feels comfortable for you. You can even meditation during your lunch break on the tenth floor of your office building!
What do you think about?
That’s the beauty of a meditation, you don’t have to think! These guided meditations allow you to get in touch with your inner self and listen to your body, in a way that you have perhaps never tried. Each meditation has some quite reflection time. Try to sit and reflect upon the meditation and if thoughts pop into your head (as they may do) acknowledge them and then simply push them aside – this will become easier and thoughts will eventually stop popping in unannounced!
Ok. i think I’ll try it, but I’m a little scared?!
That’s fine. listen to the meditation in a well lit comforting area, perhaps while you’re cooking dinner, then when you see what it’s all about you can commit to it fully and experience the bliss, renewing and cleansing benefits of meditation.
Recently I asked the Universe for some guidance. I wanted to record meditations. Again I have been blessed and led to a wonderfully enlightening and spiritually revitalising site (site no longer live). The following meditative text is graciously donated by John from PSYR.
“We have created an unbelievably busy world for ourselves. Often time’s people are running so fast that they look like a blur. I wonder how much life experience do we miss when we only focus on what is in front of us and completing the next task in our lives?” John Whitehurst
The music is from: Kevin MacLeod Kevin offers royalty free New Age and Meditation music and is an extremely gifted and generous musician.
Clear drama, confusion and harmful energy from your space.Perfect meditation for beginners and also a great way to start your day.

Validation of Love
Validation of Love
This meditation is perfect for reflection, healing, re-charging and spending time with family and friends. We are all on our own unique path in life, sometimes when thrown into the mix with others at social functions and reunions we can lose sight of who we are and why we are here. A guided meditation that will help you to maintain your connection with self and to recognise and appreciate the love that surrounds you.
Total Running Time: 12 mins
A magical journey where you collect the Six Colours of the Chakra, and take them with you as you make your way through a forest and finally find the mystical Cavern… a lovely mediation that I learnt over 10 years ago. I have tried to keep the file size down, as such there is no lead in time in this meditation… it just starts, so before you begin spend a minute or two relaxing your body, concentrate on taking long deep breaths and then begin or if you are new to meditating, try the clearing meditation first and then start this one.
Total Running Time: 17 mins
Letting Go and Surrendering
Some times letting go of that which no-longer serves us not only heals us but opens doors to that which awaits. To be able to move forward, you must learn to simply let go of the past and surrender. Here is a short-guided meditation to help us clear some of the resistance caused by the fear and uncertainty around our ability to survive, to weather the storm of life’s lessons…
Total Running Time: 8 mins
Help you reconnect with the Earth and bring more focus to your life. Great way to end your meditations, returns you to mother earth.

No challenge is too great for you to conquer. We all deal with challenges on a daily basis, whether they are within the work place, in our personal relationships or in other areas of our lives. These challenges are opportunities for us to learn and doorways to a greater future. Sometimes challenges are created as a direct result of our own thinking. Often we choose to place our focus on what we don’t want, and then find ourselves taking steps towards bringing that about in our own lives.
Being empowered means taking charge of your own destiny. It means creating the life that you desire by consciously making decisions to move in the direction of your vision. Empowered people are not victims of their current circumstances, but rather, life long learners ready to rise up and meet the challenges that are presented to them. An empowered person sees the value in all of their life experiences. These people move away from a state of blame and towards a state of gratitude, putting their energy into their vision, and their focus on the present moment.
The disempowered individual often leads a life of desperation and hopelessness, with only short bursts of happiness created by favorable conditions. These people allow outside situations and circumstances to control their lives. They tend to dwell on past difficulties and find it impossible to truly forgive. Because they live in a state of blame, they seldom take responsibility for their present situations, and they never seem to move beyond their problems. To live a disempowered life is a choice, but at any time you can choose differently.

In the last 2 years, we learned to live with social isolation, uncertainty and fear, contraints to work and adaptation to remote or hybrid work.
According to the WHO, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered 25% increase in prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide, while Lin et al. (2020) found a 37% increase in the rates of clinical insomnia (from 14.6% to 20%) from before to peak of the pandemic.
But not only adults, especially children and teenagers were strongly affected by social distancing and the various lockdowns. Data suggest that 1 in 4 youngster globally are experiencing clinically elevated depression symptoms (Racine et al, Jama 2021).
According to UNICEF, more than 1.6 billion children have suffered some loss of education. UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore says "the impact is significant, and it is just the tip of the iceberg" (The State of the World's Children 2021 report). Our society and health system will have to deal with the consequences in the coming years.
Studies show the wide range of consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic which include an increase of anxiety and depressive mood symptoms. As a result, sales of dietary supplements, especially evidence-based botanicals, and natural medicine that have shown to fight stress & anxiety, low mood and insomnia have experienced unprecedented growth.

Kathryn Freund is a certified sound healer and reiki practitioner based in Brooklyn, NY. By day, she is a recruiter, Co-Active career coach and graphic designer in advertising at Kay & Black and perQ. In a world as hectic and fast-paced as New York’s ad scene, Kathryn finds balance and joy in supplementing her coaching practice with her healing talents to support her candidates and clients professionally, emotionally and spiritually.
Kathryn is also half of Rhythmic Flows, a unique yoga flow, live music and sound healing community experience all in one. Holding a powerful intention and supportive space for all participants, Kathryn uses singing bowls to align mind, body and spirit in a state of healing flow throughout class and meditation during savasanas.
Kathryn believes we all have the power to live with joy, boldness and authenticity, and her practice aims to empower others to believe this and live in it every single day. You can connect and enjoy her musings on Instagram, or email her to collaborate or book a healing or coaching session.
Sophie: You have such an eclectic background professionally and personally. How did you get to where you are today?
Kathryn: From a young age, I have always known I am deeply intuitive and connected to the unseen world. As I entered young adulthood, I shut down this side of myself, as many of us tend to do out of fear. For a while, I followed my passions in writing and visual arts, eventually graduating from Fordham University with Bachelor of Arts degrees in English & Visual Arts. I love what makes people tick and why they resonate with different brands and products, so I started a career in advertising as a creative and graphic designer. Though I loved design and still do today, eventually, I discovered what brings me the most fulfillment is helping to nurture others’ talents, so I decided to make the leap into recruiting and coaching.
Recruiting educated me in how to speak and communicate with others and create genuine connections. It opened up my introverted tendencies. It taught me how to stay curious, live in integrity and follow my intuition. As I wanted to be able to give back to my candidates and support them in their careers, I followed my passions and trained in Co-Active coaching and helped establish Kay & Black’s coaching division, perQ.
Coaching allowed me to tap back into my intuitive gifts and curiosities. It forced me to ask deeper questions of myself as well as of others. It led me deeper into emotional, spiritual, mental and physical healing. Coaching helped me to come back to that young version of myself I shut down so many years ago, and encouraged me to observe her once again with wide-eyed curiosity. It allowed me to accept intuitive gut feelings as very relevant information and led me back to spirit.
Sophie: What's your advice to those who are told “your background is too varied” or who ask themselves “where do I fit in?"
Kathryn: Follow the thread of what you are interested in, one step at a time. We are all multifaceted human beings with many gifts to share at various stages of life. To say that we will do or contribute only one thing until the day we die professionally or personally is unrealistic and limiting! We are divine beings with infinite power. Our gifts are always changing and shifting focus, so focus in on the gift, talent or skill you feel compelled to share now and highlight that. The rest just makes you even more attractive and unique! It makes people say, “wow, you can do that too?” It’s what makes you you and no one else.
Sophie: What led you to holistic healing practices?
Kathryn: About five years ago, I found myself at the end of a very complicated, toxic relationship. I took on the negative weight of the relationship without setting boundaries or taking care of my own energy. I spiraled into depression, shame and self-hatred. When we finally parted ways, I looked in the mirror and thought, “I do not recognize the person standing in front of me anymore.” In that moment, I decided something needed to change, and I began on my journey to healing myself in bite-sized pieces. I started with my health and wellbeing in my body, working out and attending yoga classes. I became conscious of what food I was putting in my body and began to feel comfortable in my physical body again. I lost twenty pounds. I got rid of my cystic acne. I meditated. I went to therapy. I did the work! It was hard, but so worth it.
Next, I got curious about all kinds of healing and spiritual tools. I researched and experienced different modalities for my own healing, embracing that curious, intuitive side of myself I had set aside so many years ago. I learned that healing can happen in many shapes and forms on physical, spiritual, emotional and mental levels. I worked with crystals, reiki, past-life regression, Akashic records, shamanic journeying, mediumship, meditation, acupuncture and breath work, among others. I love all these modalities and am eternally grateful for their gifts, though the one healing modality that resonated with me most personally is sound healing, notedly the Tibetan singing bowls.
Sophie: What is sound healing overall and how does it work?
Kathryn: Sound healing is a very ancient healing modality which we have come to understand through science. It is nothing new! To quote an excerpt from Jonathan Goldman’s Healing Sounds:
“The first humans are believed to have used sounds in sacred and ritualistic ways to promote fertility, to aid at birth, to facilitate the growing of crops, to accept death and for many other occasions. Using sound, they would summon spirits and ancestors to cure sickness and rid a body of disease… As the ancients seemed to know, everything in the universe is in a state of vibration. The chair you may be sitting on is in a state of vibration… Sound may be understood as being vibration. 'Resonance' is the frequency at which an object most naturally vibrates. Everything has resonant frequency, whether or not we can audibly perceive it.”
We can facilitate shifts in resonant frequencies in the human body with tools like singing bowls that assist with entrainment. Entrainment synchronizes the frequencies in our bodies, which can vary from organ to organ, from our levels of stress and awareness, and various other factors. Using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves to resonate at certain frequencies, notedly those which facilitate healing and relaxation states like alpha, theta and delta brainwaves.
Sophie: What are Tibetan singing bowls?
Kathryn: Singing bowls are hand-crafted, specially-tuned metal bowls made with the intention of healing. The formation of the bowls is based on ancient practices dating back to the 8th century during the time of Buddha. Each bowl is tuned to resonate with a certain chakra, or energetic center in the body. Today, the Shakyamuni clan in Nepal still makes healing bowls, chanting mantras and prayers while they hammer the round, raw metal into bowls by hand. Essentially, you can imagine as the bowls sing that there are thousands of prayers flowing through your body!
Sophie: What are the benefits of sound healing and the Tibetan singing bowls?
Kathryn: As we as humans are mostly made of water, which is very receptive to changing frequencies, overall the vibrations from these bowls and other tools give us a deep, cleansing energetic massage. This can facilitate shifts in the body’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual state. Using sound as therapy can provide results for a variety of issues including: depression, anxiety, stress, pain management, headaches, sleep disorders, PTSD, mood swings, etc. Sound healing can also assist with achieving greater clarity, calm, heightened awareness, focus, balance and relaxation.
Personally, I have heard of and experienced situations where a person’s symptoms on various levels have been resolved or lifted through sound healing. This includes everything from curing someone’s knee pain or sinus headaches, to releasing intense anxiety or feeling more aligned with your higher self.
Sophie: How has sound healing helped you, and why did you decide to practice it?
Kathryn: I grew up singing in church choir and playing various musical instruments, so music has always been my medicine and brought me joy. I made the decision to learn how to practice with singing bowls because they have helped me so deeply with releasing my own emotional and physical pain, and I wanted to be able to share that gift with others. Experiencing sound baths (aka: a group of people lying or sitting in meditation and rest while a practitioner plays sound bowls, drums, chimes, etc.) helped me find peace and clarity when no doctor or clinician had an answer for me as to why I felt “off” or couldn’t quite get that pulsing pain in my left shoulder to go away no matter what I did. It is truly an honor to be a channel and share this work to also assist with others’ healing journeys.
Sophie: What would you say to someone who does not typically believe in this sort of thing?
Kathryn: There’s not really anything to believe in, per se! Though the tools I use personally come from a particular ancient practice based in Buddhism, the healing practice itself has no dogma. On its most basic level, this work is based in principles of science and energy movement. Sound is vibration, and thus waves of sound are going to interact with the frequencies of our resonant bodies. Research has proven that, when we combine these shifts in frequency with our intention, this affects our brainwaves in such a way to allow for even deeper healing. While the potency of this can vary, I have found in my experience that especially the Tibetan singing bowls will “do the work” even if a person is not extremely receptive. Each person receives what she/he/they need in the moment. However, the more intentional the participant and practitioner are in this work, the more powerful the results can be. Ultimately, sound healing is just one of many tools for healing, and some people may resonate more with it than others. That is okay! Choose whatever modality works for you best and feels right to you.
Sophie: Is there anything you should do before going to their first sound bath?
Kathryn: All you have to do is show up and be open to receiving and releasing what is best for you and the highest good. Sound healing is very much about intention. There is so much power available to you when you set a clear intention for healing. Don’t let the intention carve your expectations for your experience in a narrow path, though. Simply set it and be open to receiving as your highest self knows what she/he/they need, and just let the vibrations do the work. Soak it in and trust.
Sophie: Are there ways to amplify the healing properties of sound healing after a sound bath?
Kathryn: Yes. Drink lots and lots of water after you receive a sound bath or any kind of energy healing. If possible, take a cleansing Epsom salt bath. This will assist your body in releasing toxins and moving any energy that has shifted in your body. Take vitamins and nourish your body with healthy, clean foods. Take time to rest afterwards and know the effects can come 48-72 hours after as well. Everyone is different and experiences shifts in various ways. Allow your body to realign and reset.
Sophie: How do you take care of yourself? Do you have any self-care rituals or other healing practices?
Kathryn: Yes! For when I am feeling sad, off or not myself: dance and song in addition to the bowls are two of my favorite personal self-care tools! I just love music as medicine. There’s nothing quite like putting on your favorite jam and dancing it out or singing at the top of your lungs.
For when I am feeling stuck and anxious: movement (yoga, running, working out) or breath work. Both can be extremely powerful tools for getting energy moving in my body and helping to release any toxic gunk whether it be physical, emotional, spiritual or mental.
For when I am feeling angry: listening to punk rock I love, yelling or laughing out loud. Once I settle down, imagining myself sending a ball of light to the part of me that is feeling this way, and also sending this to another person if it involves a conflict with someone else.
For when I am feeling confused or cloudy: a shower meditation where I imagine I am washing away all my confusion in the shower so my mind is clear.
For my New Yorkers (or those stuck in traffic), when I am stuck on the subway and feel unsafe or have motion sickness: self-reiki!
Some daily rituals that I find helpful:
Being conscious about what I put in my body and also what thoughts flow through my mind
A daily journal and gratitude practice
Reading affirmations out loud in the mornings and evenings
Meditation! Even if I only have 5 minutes, it helps reset me
Taking deep, expansive breaths to move through any stress
Setting aside time for “play”
Prayer: taking a moment to thank my ancestors and ask for guidance throughout the day
Energetic protection: before I leave the house, imagining myself surrounded by a ball of light that encompasses my body and protects me
Sophie: Do you have any advice for anyone who is curious about healing practices and not sure where to start?
Kathryn: An easy way to try new modalities or practices is by attending events virtually or in person in a group setting. There are so many communities of healing now that are growing. In smaller communities, I find yoga studios are always a good place to start and go to various events, workshops or meditations that might showcase different healing practices. Follow practitioners online as well, as many people host virtual circles (some even free) over Zoom or Facebook live. Most importantly, find a place you feel safe to explore in your local community. If you’re in NYC, come join us at Rhythmic Flows for a yoga flow, live music and sound healing session with yours truly!

HYPNO LIFE COACHING
As they say - if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Happiness and fulfilment in life is about reaching very close to your aspirations and dreams. But many of us go through life without knowing much of where we are going and why. A Life coach will help bring in clarity in the purpose of your life.
Life coaching is simply about where you are now and where you want to go, and how to bridge it. This is effective for students and young professionals, who see options and success around them and get disillusioned with what life has to offer. A life coach will help you strategies and build techniques, which assist in you reaching your goals faster.
Based on the experiences with his clients and also a great understanding from the end results of the therapies with the clients, Dr. Rajah developed a new tool, combining Hypno Therapy and Life Coaching, and aptly named it ‘Hypno-Life Coaching’. The difference between Life Coaching and Hypno Life Coaching is that in Life coaching you cull out information from the seeker on an open conversation basis whereas in Hypno-Life Coaching the same is done on the regression mode of the Client. When on an regression, the sub-conscious mind divulges much more about the clients life and based on the findings the client is given a full de-brief of the goals/purposes and then based on what the client is keen to accomplish, the Life Coaching starts with a very clear building blocks and time lines. This module gives a very clear understanding to the client and makes it easy to go after the goals/life purpose-both short and long term. Students and corporate executives find this module very effective and less time consuming. Also seeding the sub-conscious mind does all the necessary spadework, which makes the client feel at ease and hungry to accomplish the goals/life purpose. Rajah also does sessions on Skype!!
When working with corporates, Dr. Rajah gets a clear understanding on the company’s goals, figures out whether the goals are aligned with the employees and start the session from this point.
Rajah is a certified member of IMDHA, Laceyville, Pennsylvania, USA.
Rajah also imparts ‘stress releasing’ breathing exercises and simple Earth and HS meditation using colour visualization!! Something which is offered only at Heal n Hale!!!

Marijuana Abuse. Ways to Break a Dependency to Marijuana
Cannabis is addictive and there is a syndrome of withdrawal that will happen whenever a dependent individual effort to stop their practice.
Marijuana is not terribly harmful over the short run, but the consequences of long-term use and dependency are a higher threat for certain cancers, some cognitive and finding out deficits, and specific social deficits. Individuals using cannabis greatly are not as able to realize their full capacity, and heavy marijuana use can diminish lifestyle.
Marijuana withdrawal signs
The withdrawal symptoms of cannabis cessation can consist of irritability, insomnia, anxiety, headaches, nausea, depression, an anorexia nervosa and others. The withdrawal is not harmful, is not as extreme when it comes to some other drugs, however, is very unpleasant; and during an initial couple of days, the cravings back to cannabis can be very strong.
A lot of individuals attempting to stop their habit are unable to resist these yearnings back to use a drug that they know will remove all of these really undesirable symptoms of withdrawal.
Try exercise … truly, it works!
Since cannabis detox is not clinically dangerous, there is no current pharmacological intervention to relieve the pains of withdrawal, and just time will genuinely much better the pain. After 3 or 4 days the intensity of withdrawal symptoms must subside significantly; and if you can make it past the first few days, you have actually got a far better chance of making it for the long term.
One really reliable, free and totally safe method to minimize the strength of the signs of withdrawal is through long and satisfying exercise. To minimize the symptoms of withdrawal, and take your mind off of the constant yearnings, you have to leave of the couch, and get out and get your heart pumping.
Exercise assists on a variety of levels. Through continual and vigorous activity you release endorphins in the brain. Endorphins are a “natural” method of feeling high, and a little workout and the matching release of endorphins can do a lot to minimize feelings of anxiety, lethargy, and depressions.
The sustained and vigorous workout can likewise tiredness the body, and ideally, decrease particular insomnia that can so often trigger a relapse back to utilize. With workout and vigorous perspiration, you can also cleanse the body of toxins and drug metabolites; toxins that some preserve have an impact on the extension of detox symptoms.
Getting past the very first couple of days
Exercise is free, it will make you feel better, it keeps you busy and keeps your mind off of use, and it might even help you to sleep at night. Nothing will eliminate all of the symptoms of withdrawal but time, however by investing a few days participating in the sustained exercise, you must make those days more manageable, and you need to have a better possibility at resisting temptation.
Go for a hike in the mountains, ride your bike across town, play basketball … do whatever you delight in. It can help a lot!
If you find that you are just not able to resist the temptations and find yourself utilizing again, you might wish to consider professional help. Getting some therapy and escaping access to marijuana for a duration might help those individuals not able to do it on their own.

So here we are already, the end of the road. When I set about choosing a topic, I picked punishment and reinforcement as I felt that they were something that many people take for granted in the classroom setting. Quite often it seems that teachers offer punishments in particular, without a full understanding of the implications. I think that this is a very important area in education. The right type of reinforcement can be hugely beneficial, and whilst many forms of punishment have been shown to not be as effective at behaviour modification as reinforcement, they do appear to still have a place.
My last presentation looked into the good and bad sides of punishment:
Praise and rewards have been shown to be an effective way at shaping children’s behaviour and making them more engaged in their education (Madsen et al, 1968, Van der Mars, 1989). This is a very important positive aspect, as not only does it help the children get a better education, but if inappropriate behaviours are being reduced, then it is more conducive to a positive working environment, meaning that it helps everyone. However it is very important that reinforcement is used correctly. Henderlong and Lepper (2002) show that in order to be effective, praise must be perceived as sincere, but not only this, it has to be for the right behaviour. This is perhaps the biggest caution when using reinforcement. Reinforcing behaviours that are attributable to internal, controllable causes, will promote competence and help the child. However if reinforcement is given for external causes, then some people argue that this will actually be maladaptive and stifle the individual (Cannella, 1986). Furthermore, if the wrong behaviour is reinforced, then the child may lose internal motivation. They will become more focused on receiving the reward, than positively engaging with the material, and this is obviously not the idea of reinforcement. So reinforcement and rewards are very useful tools that can be successfully applied in the classroom to benefit every pupils education, however care is needed to ensure that it is not misused, which can be maladaptive.
So now we get on to punishment. I think it is all too easy to see how effective reinforcement is and just assume that punishments are therefore just a knee-jerk reaction to something the teacher doesn’t like. Lewis (1999) however, points out that it does actually have its place; one of the teacher’s roles is to maintain classroom discipline and whilst reinforcement is used essentially used to avoid disruptive behaviour, punishment can be used to immediately combat disruptive behaviour. Moles (2006) mentioned that disruptive behaviour is ’contagious’, and affects the whole class, not just the individual. With children, disruptive behaviour is somewhat inevitable, and so punishment can be used to remove the disruptive behaviour before it becomes a threat to learning, thus maintaining classroom discipline. However, like reinforcement, it is pointed out that how it is used is also very important. There is a difference between a child that is acting disruptive because they want to act disruptive, and because they just can’t engage with the material. For children who can’t engage, it is perhaps not necessary to use punishment at all, however with the other child it may be necessary. Another important aspect to consider is who is giving the punishments. Some studies highlight the fact that teachers are just normal people, who hold the same biases and prejudices as everyone else (Hurrell, 1995, Lewis, 2001). Whilst they will try to be impartial, it is often found the things such as gender biases are seen when punishments are administered. It is also noted that some punishments, such as time outs, serve to reinforce bad behaviour, as they can remove children from work that they didn’t want to do. Overall punishments do have their place and can be used very effectively with reinforcement to maintain positive learning environments whilst increasing engagement with the material; however teachers need to be very careful about how they are using them.
So I think it is pretty obvious by now that reinforcement and punishment can be used very effectively, but how they are employed is crucial. But I think it can be all too easy to get caught up in the theory and not actually see how in a real world setting they can work to do good. A big area where these techniques are used is in special education classrooms. Broden et al (1970) found that when reinforcement in the form of teacher attention and token economies were used, not only did disruptive behaviour decrease, but study levels increased. These results are not just a fluke, and have been found by many studies (Frederikson and Frederikson, 1975, Pelham et al, 1986). So reinforcement can be used in this setting to not only make behaviour better, but it can genuinely improve children’s learning. I think this is a highly important aspect of reinforcement and entrenches its firm foundations in the classroom.

What is Graphology
Graphology: its value and limitations
WE are all born with a deep need to communicate to share our thoughts, our feelings, our experiences with others. The way we speak, the way we dress, even our most subtle changes of facial expression are all a means of telling the world who and what we are.
Of course, many of us have thoughts and emotions which we wish to keep secret from our fellow men. But to the trained observer even these hidden feelings are uncovered by certain signs. The psychiatrist senses the undercurrents in a person's make-up and is usually adept in spotting small clues which enable him to evaluate the patient on a level not revealed on the surface. But no psychologist is infallible in his own particular method of uncovering traits of character and personality. A second professional opinion is often valuable.
The bright, cheerful man or woman who radiates charm and good humor may sometimes be hiding morbid or destructive thoughts. An obviously disturbed person may have unsuspected drives and resources for mental health. Only time and thorough and expert testing will uncover the hidden traits. One test which many psychologists consider a useful clinical tool rather than a parlor game is a handwriting evaluation by an expert graphologist.
Graphology has one advantage over other tests: it yields a vivid picture of the subject without him being present in the flesh or without him being asked to speak a single word. Like all approaches to human understanding, it has had to battle for recognition. The fact that today it has become an increasingly acceptable part of the armory of the psychiatrist, the doctor, the personnel officer, the insurance investigator, is due to the diligence and enthusiasm of the pioneers in the science.
It is becoming recognized that our tendency to clap neat little labels on the people we know needs counteraction. We say that Jim is selfish; Mary is a bore; Hugh is a pseudo-intellectual; Jane is an empty-headed prattler; Margaret is anti-social and a prig with a smirk on her face; Bernard is peculiar. But this is the most superficial judgment and we are not digging deep enough. If you are a personnel selection consultant your hasty summing up of a job applicant's character by physical appearance and mannerisms may be sadly out of joint.
To gain a true picture of Jim, Mary, Hugh and the rest, their handwriting will help. You can take a closer look at yourself, too, through your own handwriting. Of course, you will have to estimate very carefully, balance each positive feature against each negative one, each strength against each weakness. You will discover traits and talents you never suspected existed in people you thought you knew well. And by means of your own handwriting you will discover potentials within yourself of which you were hitherto unaware, or personality traits which you may wish to eliminate or perhaps to strengthen.
No two hand writings are exactly alike, just as no two people are exactly alike. A study of graphology may force you gradually to drop your old labels and re-evaluate your friends, your associates, your employees. As your knowledge grows, you will gain more and more insight into what makes people tick. You can select your friends from people you discover to have common interests and common emotional traits. You can learn how to judge compatibility in marriage, how to be more understanding with your friends and relations. You will be better able to judge that new man you were thinking of hiring or that boss you were thinking of joining.
Graphology tells us a great deal about the make-up of a person, but there are two things it does not reveal. No graphological "analysis will reveal with absolute certainty the sex of the writer. In all of us there are both masculine and feminine components which often have nothing to do with physiology. The extreme cases are the men whom we consider effeminate or the women whose manner and dress cause them to be regarded as masculine. In analyzing handwriting we are therefore somewhat in the dark on that score. Thus it is important to learn by some other means the sex of the writer rather than to guess. Even the expert could be mistaken.
Handwriting does not show a person's age either. What it does reveal are signs of maturity or lack of it. We all know people of mature years who have not grown up emotionally. The hard-boiled business executive who makes practical and astute decisions which affect large sums of money may, when his emotions become involved, act like a little boy. A youth of fifteen may possess more poise and sense of responsibility than a man of forty-five who drinks and gambles his money away.
Old age will usually be revealed in handwriting that is tremulous with wavering strokes. But it does not follow that the aged are the only people who write such a band. A person under great tension or a chronic drinker might also do so. Then again, there are many old people whose handwriting shows steadiness, animation and enthusiasm. Thus it is important that we know the chronological age of the writer before we prepare our analysis.
There are many things which spring to mind as obstacles to clear, concise analysis of handwriting. The regrettable effects of the near universal use of the ball point pen, the minor variations to which many people's writing is subject daily, the use of the left instead of the more usual right hand may, on the surface, appear to affect the analysis. But the use of a ball point pen affects only the pen pressure, it cannot affect the margins, the slant, the size of the writing, the space between lines, words and letters, the direction of the lines, nor indeed the construction of each individual letter.
Depression, worry, optimism, happiness—all these moods can alter slightly the appearance of a writing, but these are only temporary moods and indeed the overall concept shows them to be temporary. Left-handedness may or may not be a psychological symptom or a psychological cause but, to date, statistics have proved little, and we find people of all personality categories among the left-handed.
An expert can make a tentative analysis from a word or a signature-but he seldom does. The ideal sample is two pages of writing or one whole page at the very least. It must be on unlined paper and written with the writer's usual pen. Be cautious and exercise extreme care in making an analysis. One characteristic in a page is a tendency; repeated it is a trait.

“Children do not need to be forced to learn. They know how and they are good at it.” -- John Holt, How Children Learn
In his book, Insult to Intelligence, Frank Smith, Ph.D. says, “The hardest problem for the brain is not learning, but forgetting. No matter how hard we try, we can’t deliberately forget something we have learned. It is truly catastrophic when we learn that we can’t learn.”
One of the most powerful lessons school teaches children is, "You are not a good learner." Despite the fact that children’s brains are superb learning instruments, schools always claim that "failure" is a kind of sickness, or worse, "bad behavior." Real or imaginary disabilities are given clinical-sounding labels like “dyslexia,” “ADHD,” etc. in order to create the impression that physical abnormalities are involved. And yet, what is it schools expect children to "succeed" in? Classrooms force students to engage in tedious, time-consuming, often-stressful nonsense, while rewarding or punishing them with meaningless marks and grades.
Schools make people dependent and easy to control -- characteristics that are the exact opposite of education. Once this dependent attitude toward learning is absorbed through the schooling experience (including, for some, being drugged), it can last a lifetime, destroying autonomous development or, in the words of the veteran Japanese teacher Yoshio Kuryu, “contributing to the student’s mental suicide -- an end to thinking; a closing down.”Yet, under those insane circumstances, if a child’s behavior does not conform to an arbitrary standard, or if his interest is not engaged, and he does not learn a particular thing, the ‘problem’ is always blamed on the child, never on the school.
The key to learning is interest, not school-induced ‘motivation.’ There has never been a relationship between school and what children are interested in learning. But when children are distracted or seem disinterested or fidgety, schools routinely decide that something is wrong with the child’s brain, even though there is no evidence of it.
Can we avoid any of the above madness? Maybe. Smith wrote a set of conditions that must exist in order to prevent the lesson, “I can’t learn,” from being absorbed. He wrote the following Learners’ Manifesto:
1. The brain is always learning. We learn exactly what is demonstrated by people around us. Schools must stop trying to teach through pointless drills, activities and tests.
2. Learning does not require coercion or irrelevant reward. We fail to learn only if we are bored, or confused, or if we have been persuaded that learning will be difficult. Schools must be places where learning can take place naturally -- by desire, not force.
3. Learning must be meaningful. Schools must change themselves, not try to change us, to ensure we understand what we are expected to learn.
4. Learning is incidental. We learn while doing things that we find useful and interesting. Schools must stop creating environments where we cannot engage in sensible activities.
5. Learning is collaborative. We learn by apprenticing ourselves to people who practice what they teach
6. The consequences of worthwhile learning are obvious [We use what we learn]. Schools, teachers and parents should not have to rely on marks, scores or tests to discover if we have learned.
7. Learning always involves feelings. We remember how we feel when we learn or fail to learn. Schools must not treat learners like machines.
8. Learning must be free of risk. If we are threatened by learning, then the learning will always threaten. Schools must recognize that continual testing [and many other of their practices] are intellectual harassment.
The lesson of Smith’s list is that schools are bad places for learning, especially the public schools. They violate all of those recommendations, with every child, all the time. Smith’s book describes what goes on in the typical school and sums it up best in one chapter, called “The Nonsense Industry.”
It’s little wonder that more and more people are choosing alternative schools and homeschooling for their children, where they can skip the lesson that says they can’t learn.

"As young people, balance is one of the most important part of our lives as we grow into adulthood. It determines our actions, how we deal with stress and consequences, other people, and ultimately ourselves. I am of the Libra zodiac sign, so the concept of the "libra scales" has grown more and more evident in my existence. With this project being 2 years in the making, and encompassing the last 5 years of my life, I turned to the therapeutic aspect of music to help me find that healthy balance. Sometimes when you feel as if the world is closing in on you, you make decisions based on your perspective. But when your life appears to be unbalanced, so is your vantage point. So with this body of work, I took it upon myself to find a level of selfishness and not worry about appealing to the average listeners. This time around was about me connecting with myself and in turn allowing the supporters of the music to see that process. Personal reflection to determine direction. This is my life, I give you The Scales." -Terry Mak

Dose: 40 minutes or until symptoms ease
Frequency: Daily (prior to sleep)
Please note your response to question one before taking the digital dose and completing the remainder of the clinical form. Ensure your headset is adjusted to a comfortable volume, relax and breath deeply during the course of the session.
Research into binaural beats is expanding, yet further exploration is needed to better understand how this technique affects brain function and how to use it most effectively in chronic insomnia sufferers1.
A small study demonstrated that delta & theta binaural beat exposure led to a change in three hormones closely linked to sleep (DHEA, Cortisol & Melatonin)2. This was further supported by another study showing that binaural beats had the ability to not only induce sleep, but also positively modulate the various stages of neural activity (N2 & N3). This led to a deeper sleep for the participant3.
Additional advantages may also be recognised when comparing this to conventional treatments. Binaural beats are low impact and non-invasive, they don’t rely on chemical drugs, it’s inexpensive and, for most people, easy to adopt and maintain. In this way, it is similar to other behavioural therapies for sleep, including meditation and relaxation techniques.
In light of this, we believe additional research into this area is warranted.

Private room chat for sex adult no sign up amateur babes.co.uk cam live sex sex web wired
There is a big difference between a person occasionally viewing pornography with the knowledge and even involvement of their partner to a full-blown betrayal and using adult websites to start affairs with other people.
Like many problems, it can start innocently at first, with a person visiting sexually titillating sites perhaps out of boredom or a seeking escapism but then it can escalate to other behaviours, such as directly communicating with other people online and over time can become addictive and harmful.
We are not exclusively sex chat rooms but, rather, discussions can encompass just about any topic you want to talk about.
Although this site does not encourage explicit content exclusively, in order to keep the demographics of the chat rooms in line, we ask that underage people stay out of the room.
Up until this, I thought things were okay in our marriage, though of course we haven’t had much couple time with the demands of four children but this discovery has come as a bolt out of the blue.
It wouldn’t have been as bad if he was just accessing porn, as I know men do this, but the fact that he was talking to other people has really disgusted me.
To continue with this process you may wish to seek marriage counselling ( relationshipsireland.com, accord.ie).
There is a good chance of success for the two of you, if your husband accepts responsibility for what he has done and if the two of you are willing to work hard on improving your marriage.
Explicit and sexual content is encouraged to be held in private chat only.
Of course your husband should not blame you and he must take responsibility for how he has hurt you with his online behaviour, but the two of you must take responsibility for improving the marriage.
Though it may be painful, the fact that you have started talking about issues is a good sign.
Moving forward In the aftermath of discovering your husband’s online world, it is perfectly understandable that you might feel disgusted and betrayed and to worry as to how much you can trust your husband.
You might benefit from going to counselling especially if you feel traumatised and need to the help of an impartial listener to process some of the feelings.
A second issue for a marriage is that one partner turns to the internet for flirting and sexual excitement rather than to their partner.

That quote was from Fritz Perls, founder of Gestalt therapy.
And it's a beauty!
So, what does it mean?
Well, when explaining this to patients, I'll usually start by describing what happens in the body when we are excited or exhilarated: adrenalin starts pumping. This serves to focus your attention on the pleasurable circumstance by heightening the senses, encouraging your body and mind to continue moving towards the pleasure. Cool, right?
Yes, but... fear also causes adrenaline to be secreted, so that in situations of actual danger, your senses will be on high alert, enabling you to quickly engage in a fight or flight response. Unfortunately, because of early life experiences and associations, we can mistakenly react to pleasure as if it were something frightening. This is so embedded in us that is almost at the level of a reflex, and therefore, almost impossible to control.
There is one action that can decrease the fear reaction in the body, and it sounds so simple or cliche as to almost be unbelievable - breathe. Yep. A few deep breaths can reduce the fear state and actually bring you back to the pleasurable feelings.
Here's Gay Hendricks from his book, THE BIG LEAP, a good read for every advanced student of happiness:
"When scared, most of us have a tendency to try to get rid of the feeling. We think we can get rid of it by denying or ignoring it, and we use holding our breath as a physical tool of denial. It never works, though, because the less breath you feed your fear, the bigger your fear gets."
I believe that the breathing works because adrenaline needs to be used quickly and discharged through action, and if you actually don't have to discharge the energy by fighting or running away, you can discharge the excess hormonal energy through deep breathing. In other words, breathing through your fear is meant to be taken literally as an antidote to fear, and a way to get back to pleasure.

And all this stuff about my own anxiety about my life just went away. 'Cause I didn't give a shit. I instantly knew that I'm gonna get old and die and I wasn't afraid anymore because it's about her now. It's about giving her a chance to be happy and have her own confidence and her own life. That's what it became about.
It also taught me to be a man, because you have to… you can't fuck around when you have kids. You can't afford to go into a depression. You can't afford to go eat yourself into a stupor and lay on the floor. You can't do it. The kid needs to be taken care of and the kid needs to be supported. I suddenly had a reason to raise… to earn money that was real.
I can't agree more with the feeling. The whole episode is great, specially the second hour.

The Dream Alchemist
Bryn Llewywelyn is a dream walker.
And Laszlo Grimm is – quite literally – the man of his dreams.
Bryn Llewelyn spends his life strung out on too much caffeine, fighting sleep at every turn. He can barely hold down a part-time job as he lurches from day to day, perpetually exhausted.
He is trying to avoid Somnus, the dream world where people like Bryn—dreamwalkers—roam during their sleeping hours.
Bryn has been dreamwalking since he was child. He’s never found navigating Somnus easy, but lately it’s become much, much harder. Each time he manifests in Somnus, he is helplessly drawn to a sinister tower. Something evil is imprisoned there—something that wants out—and every time Bryn falls asleep, he finds it more difficult to resist its lure. Not to mention the compelling man who patrols its walls…Laszlo Grimm.
As a teenager, Laszlo suffered from a sleep disorder so profound, his family had him locked up for treatment. Whilst the brutal “therapy” he underwent was successful, Laszlo paid a steep price for it—his ability to feel emotion. Now, for the first time in years, Laszlo’s night terrors are returning, and with them, his fears about being locked up again.
When Bryn and Laszlo meet in the real world, Bryn recognises Laszlo as the man he has already met in Somnus, but not only does Laszlo not know Bryn, he can’t even remember any of his dreams.
Bryn fights to open Laszlo’s eyes to the truth but Laszlo cannot quite shake the conviction that his old condition is catching up with him…not least because Bryn Llewelyn is awakening emotions in him he hasn’t felt in years.

- This event has passed.
Healing Recovery Spaces – An Anti-Racism Training
Healing Recovery Spaces – An Anti-Racism training is designed to offer a brave space to get comfortable with tacking the often uncomfortable topic of race. It empowers participants to dismantle patterns of racism and create cultures and environments that are trauma-informed and safe. Participants leave this training feeling challenged yes, but equally motivated to create real change. In this training we focus on:
- Racism – The roots of racism and its impact on North American culture.
- Racial Trauma – How racial discrimination is associated with psychological distress.
- Microaggressions – Understanding the negative and subtle slights and insults.
- White Supremacy – How white superiority maintains America’s racism equilibrium.
- Allyship – What is possible when those with privilege show up for the marginalize
When an organization makes anti-racism work a priority it’s a clear statement that they stand on the importance of inclusive cultures and cultural competencies.
THIS SESSION WILL NOT BE RECORDED AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE DURING THE REPLAY PERIOD.

Conferences, whether in-person or virtual, can lead to long days and information overload. When attendees constantly move from session to session, they don’t have an opportunity to fully absorb the material presented. A study from Microsoft shows that back-to-back meetings cause a decrease in focus and engagement.
To prevent session burn-out, build in time for your attendees to take a brain break! Putting an emphasis on mental health and information retention can set your event apart. Our expert event professionals have outlined five different types of activities to incorporate into your next conference.
Our top crowd-pleaser is a puppy petting station! Research from Washington State University has found that petting a dog for 10 minutes drastically reduces stress hormones in the body. This not only has mental benefits but can create a lasting memory for attendees and generate buzz around the event.
According to Psychology Today, “movement is medicine.” Incorporating a space where guests can gather throughout the conference to stretch or unwind in between sessions can greatly impact information retention at your event.
Cater to different activity levels with a meditation lounge or challenge your guests with a yoga class. This is a great option for virtual attendees as well! Host a “chair yoga” session to encourage movement or start each day with a guided meditation.
Building this time into your conference schedule shows a prioritization of mental health and attendee well-being.
One of the most engaging activities to integrate into your event is a gaming component. Host a trivia challenge or scavenger hunt to get people interacting with a little friendly competition. Our team creates game cards or passport booklets that outline key areas of the event or destination for people to check out. Consider offering a stamp at each session or activity to encourage attendance and offer a prize to a few lucky winners who complete the game book.
Leverage your sponsors to create an exclusive experience for your guests. Tailor the activity to your event theme or your sponsor’s branding. For example, a sponsored virtual reality booth can create a memorable and interactive experience, while giving sponsors the unique opportunity to network with guests. Not only do your attendees get a break from the conference material, but your sponsor has brand visibility and direct access to attendees.
From prize booths to nitrogen ice cream stands, your options for sponsored entertainment are nearly endless!
Take advantage of your event’s location and plan out group activities to immerse attendees in the destination. For example, host an off-site tour of local landmarks like museums or iconic streets.
Mixing tours or activities into your conference’s programming builds excitement for your guests and keeps them motivated throughout the day. With the return to in-person events, these activities can be a big draw for attendees who are looking for an immersive experience at an event. This could be the deciding component that draws in-person attendees in, rather than them opting for virtual.
Mental health matters and event professionals have a responsibility to provide attendees with a well-rounded experience. Prioritizing brain breaks, whether virtually or in-person, can improve information retention and overall attendee experience. Looking to incorporate one of the above ideas into your next event? Contact us today and we can help.

Studies are conflicted, finding that caregiving can harm or help the caregiver. Here's one on the plus side. A study finds that people who care for a family member live longer than similar people who aren't caregiving.
Being the primary caregiver for a family member can be a stressful. But a recent study indicates that the stereotype of the stressed-out family caregiver at the end of their rope may not represent the typical experience. As reported by Alabama Public Radio, only “17 percent of the people surveyed said they had high levels of caregiving strain, and the majority put in fewer than 14 hours of care a week.”
Perhaps even more surprising is the fact that the family caregivers which were part of the study by the Center on Aging and Health at Johns Hopkins University statistically less likely to die over the course of six years when compared to non-caregivers.
The article notes that while caregiving can be very stressful, it doesn’t have to be the case. In our experience, talking with your family openly about the possible need for future care—and having a written plan in place for that care—can alleviate many of the stresses caregivers face.

No two people are the same — we all learn differently. While we may think of studying as a one-size-fits-all approach, it’s important to choose strategies that are particular to your student’s learning style! We can separate learning styles into three distinct groups: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.
Visual learners get the most out of “seeing” the problem. While the classic, textbook-review approach generally works well for this learning style, there are ways to make study time even more productive! If your child is a visual learner, he can better retain information by highlighting important sections of his reading, rewriting sections in his own words, or drawing pictures of the subject he’s studying. If there’s time, it can also help to read ahead in the textbook before going to class. This will help him better connect the dots.
Auditory learners need to hear information to understand it. If your child is an auditory learner, suggest that she talk to herself about the lesson, read her notes out loud, or take time to talk through confusing concepts with you or a friend. She can also act like a teacher and teach you what she’s learning! Unlike visual learners, it’s often better for this learning style to read the material after class, unless it’s required to do the reading beforehand.
Kinesthetic learners need to physically interact with concepts for them to stick. While hands-on experiments are one of the best ways to retain information, there are other methods. Try not to learn while sitting down — get moving! Even sitting on an exercise ball while he reviews his flashcards can be helpful to your kinesthetic learner. It’s also a great idea to go over what he’s learning while you take a walk together or play an active game outside!
For more than 50 years, Orlando private schools have been helping children grow to their fullest potential and become leaders within their communities. We offer unique and dynamic learning environments that engage students and encourage them to become confident, responsible adults. To learn more about what makes us different, contact us today.

PAST LIFE REGRESSION HEALING
Discovering your past lives is a fascinating way to understand who you are as an immortal soul living a human life. It enables you to heal the present through the past and can bring great inner peace. A past-life regression recalls scenes, feelings and memories from another lifetime that one has lived as though it were happening now. Some people have spontaneous flashbacks during the waking state. This may be triggered by an event, such as visiting a place where one has lived in a past life. Past life memories may also appear in dreams or during meditation. The most effective and therapeutic way to recall a past life is to have a session with a trained and certified past-life regression therapist. In a deeply relaxed state, one travels back through time with my help as the facilitator to discover the roots of skills, relationships, problems, attitudes or other patterns that influence the present life. Some people have very vivid and emotional recall while others may have an intuitive knowing without a lot of emotion and imagery. I don’t use my psychic abilities to tell you about your past lives. You discover them yourself as I help you move backward and forward in the story of your past life by asking you questions. This is more therapeutic, effective, and empowering than having someone “read” your past lives. You are in control of the session. Past life regression therapy is a holistic therapy that works with the body, mind, emotions and spirit. It is based on the principles of cause and effect (karma) and the theory that your reactions and the way you respond to problems are based in the past. As a skilled therapist, I can guide you back to a time before birth in this lifetime to discover the root causes of problems you may be experiencing in the present and heal them. This may include relationship issues, chronic illnesses, phobias, addictions, sexual dysfunction, inexplicable attraction or aversion to someone, recurring nightmares, fear of death, etc. Conventional psychotherapy focuses on the present life and may not be able to get to the source of a problem. “Talk” therapy often stays on an intellectual basis and does not allow for the transformation that comes from unlocking deep emotions and experiences stored in one’s cellular memory. It’s also why “talk” therapy often takes so long to produce results. Past life regression therapy can speed up the healing process as one understands and feels on a much deeper level the source of one’s problems. This technique is also valuable and enjoyable for self-discovery if you are feeling problem free! Past life regression therapy can transform your life! It will help you to develop your full potential, unlock hidden talents, and create more compassion and love for yourself and others. It can reveal your life purpose and reason for incarnating, and help you to overcome the fear of death. After a past life regression session, many clients report feeling a greater sense of inner peace, love and self-acceptance when they understand that they have chosen their life circumstances and the lessons that they need to learn. Past life regression therapy supersedes other therapies in its more profound perspective on the meaning of life. It transcends religious dogma and is beneficial regardless of your religion or spiritual beliefs. You do not have to believe in reincarnation to receive healing from this amazing technique.

Who am I, and what do I do?
I am a postdoctoral researcher specialised in cognitive neuroscience. I have a PhD in psychology from the Faulty of Medicine at the University of Helsinki. My research interests revolve around understanding how the modern digital era shapes the brains and minds of the current youth. I have studied, for example, how media multitasking is related to attentional abilities and brain functioning in Finnish adolescents and young adults. A list of my published scientific articles can be found here.
I am also an active public speaker, giving talks to a large variety of audiences both in the public and private sector. My goal is to make brain research more approachable to the general public. The topics of my talks range from the effects of technology on the brain, to adolescent brain development and to brain health in the workplace. If you are organising an event and think that I would be a suitable speaker, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. I am fluent in English.

You can’t put a price tag on the true value from Miami hypnotherapy. Keep in mind, what you get out of it also depends on what you put into it with hypnotherapy. You can’t only share part of the truth with them and then expect amazing results. You have to be honest, you have to trust them, and you have to face the difficult realities no matter what. Exploring in Miami with them and working through the challenges is the only way for you to really heal.
If you feel you have lost control, you can regain it through the guidance and help of a Miami hypnotherapy. They are going to give you the tools you need to make it happen. If you are resistant though it is going to be very difficult for those efforts by them to make a difference in your life in Miami. If you embrace what they offer you and really dig into who you are, the outcome is going to be control and understanding.
Letting go of the past is easier said than done. Some issues may be such a part of who you are that you don’t even realize it. For example, you may sabotage all personal relationships out of fear of getting hurt. Early in life, you may have been hurt and let down by those you loved so you decided to put up a wall to keep people out. A qualified Miami hypnotherapy can help you to remove those bricks one at a time.
They can’t do the work for you, but they can provide the tools for you to take care of it. They can be by your side. Progress can be slow to recognize when you see a Miami hypnotherapy. You will be disappointed if you think you can show up for a few appointments and your life will be perfect. In fact, it may seem a bit worse before it starts to get better. You may have to dig deep to get to the core cause of your issues. Looking at those situations is never easy.
A new outlook on life, tools to combat the tough times, and a desire to modify your behaviors to react in better ways is all going to be part of the solution. This is the value you can get from seeing a Miami hypnotherapy. Take your time to make sure they are a good fit for your needs and your personality for hypnotherapy. The quality of your life is going to be able to improve in all areas. Life won’t always be prefect but you will be better prepared for any difficult times ahead.
Otherwise, that value they can offer to you diminishes in Miami. You may feel better talking to a lady versus sharing the same details with a man. You may prefer an older individual or you many think a younger professional will be able to better help you address what has been going on. Don’t settle for just anyone you find online or in the phone book. Take the time to consult with them and to base your decision on solid information.

Have you ever wondered what memories mean to you? The human memory is not a single “vessel” to be filled, but rather a complex set of interrelated memory systems.
What do our memories signify? Happiness, sadness, anger, chaos, loneliness? I think that our memories define who we are -- they are kind of like exits on the neural highway of our thoughts/experiences. Your ideas and memories are patterns of connections. What makes you ‘you’ is your special pattern of connections, built up piece-by-piece through memory of your sensory experience over your entire lifetime. The mind organizes new information into groups and patterns. The more consciously you are involved with thinking about something, the greater the depth of processing, the greater the organisation, the better the memory.

Planning a wedding is one of the most intense times of your life. Between being head over heels in love with your soon to be spouse – and trying to accommodate both of your families, it’s by far one of the biggest days in your life!
All of that planning adds up to two big events: the actual wedding day and the night before. It’s not uncommon to have trouble sleeping the night before your wedding – the anxiety, the excitement, and the strange environment; a lot is going on in your brain when you’re trying to sleep.
The good news is there are a few things you can try to help you get to sleep. It’s not a one size fits all solution, so you may want to mix and match these tips.
Turn the temperature down
Scientists recommend sleeping between 15 and 19 degrees Celsius whenever possible. Chances are you’re staying in a hotel, or an unfamiliar room, so you should determine how to change the thermostat so you can cool down quickly. A rapid decrease in body temperature can help your body to fall asleep. If you can’t adjust the temperature in the room, see if you can get the fan going. Moving air can make you feel cooler even if the room itself is warm.

Adjust your pillows
Try sleeping on your side, or your back, instead of your usual sleeping position. It might be the right choice for the mattress you’re on. You may also want to adjust your pillows to make sure that you have the optimum level of support and comfort without feeling suffocated.
Try yoga and meditation
If you’re feeling stiff or restless, you may want to try some light exercise like yoga. Yoga and meditation have been found to help ease the mental and physical effects of anxiety, while also helping to relax your muscles. If you’re looking for something to concentrate your meditation on, how about the things you love about your partner?
Add soothing scents to your room
Adding the scents of lavender, chamomile, bergamot, jasmine, rose or sandalwood can help your brain to calm down. It can also give you something to focus on while you meditate. At the very least, it can help make the scent of the room more uniform. You can get this through an essential oil, a candle, a stick of incense, or a room spray. If you’re staying at a hotel, they may not allow candles, so you might want to check first.

Write down your anxious thoughts
If you can’t get your anxious thoughts to stop racing through your mind, it can be helpful to write them down. You can write it on anything from the back of a leftover invitation to the hotel stationery pad – as long as you avoid typing it into your phone. You want to avoid being on your phone. The blue light from the screen makes your brain release less melatonin because it thinks you need to be awake.
Ms Zebra Says: Sleep is so important – let alone just before you enjoy one of the biggest days in your life! These are some great tips to relax & make sure your sleep zone is the very best it can be.

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 12431: In Vitro Recapitulation of Neuropsychiatric Disorders with Pluripotent Stem Cells-Derived Brain Organoids (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health)
Adolescent neuropsychiatric disorders have been recently increasing due to genetic and environmental influences. Abnormal brain development before and after birth contribute to the pathology of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, it is difficult to experimentally investigate because of the complexity of brain and ethical constraints. Recently generated human brain organoids from pluripotent stem cells are considered as a promising in vitro model to recapitulate brain development and diseases. To better understand how brain organoids could be applied to investigate neuropsychiatric disorders, we analyzed the key consideration points, including how to generate brain organoids from pluripotent stem cells, the current application of brain organoids in recapitulating neuropsychiatric disorders and the future perspectives. This review covered what have been achieved on modeling the cellular and neural circuit deficits of neuropsychiatric disorders and those challenges yet to be solved. Together, this review aims to provide a fundamental understanding of how to generate brain organoids to model neuropsychiatric disorders, which will be helpful in improving the mental health of adolescents.

YANG Shi-Nan (Lily LEE) is a 14-year-old boy who undergoes a metamorphosis without realising what is going on. It begins on a normal school day when he gets stomach cramps. After rushing to the toilet he notices that his urine is turning bloody red. Taken to a doctor he is diagnosed with “Disorders of Sex Development,” or intersex. Without consulting him, Shi-Nan’s parents decide to accept “sex reassignment surgery”, turning Shi-Nan into a female and changing her name to YANG Shi-Lan. The family moves to a new city to start a new life and it all seems to be going well as Shi-Lan blends in and even makes friends. It seems like the butterfly is about to break out of its chrysalis but can YANG Shi-Lan truly embrace her transformation?
This is the question that the film dangles in front of audiences as it shows them Shi-Lan’s feminisation whilst also keeping them aware of society’s discrimination and ultimately playing on the idea where a person’s identity is taken out of their hands and the psychological effects it can have on them.

One does not need to have more than one single group to perform statistical tests! In fact there is (short) list of tests used to verify hypotheses on one group. Here are a few examples.
As you will soon find out (but you might have already realized that…), many statistical tests, such as Student’s t-test or ANOVA, assume the data originate from a normal distribution. Very often, you will be forced to check for normality of distribution in all the tested groups prior to performing the test of choice. The Shapiro-Wilk test checks this for you! It is performed on one group at a time and is thus one of the first, but most important, one-sample statistical tests that you will learn to use.
There are a few other single-sample tests which are used to compare the known mean of a population to the mean of a specific subpopulation. This means that you may check whether a bunch of individuals exhibit the same “properties” as the population they originate from just by comparing the mean and standard deviation of that subgroup to the mean (and, if available, the standard deviation) of the population. Not sure to understand the point? Let’s take an example:
During the course of the year 2016, a university teacher got the feeling that his students were particularly clever and efficient. Wondering whether this was “just a feeling” or a fact, he organized an IQ test and obtained the score of 40 of these students. Knowing only the average IQ of the students at that precise university (which is 120), he performed a one-sample test to verify whether the average IQ score of his group of “clever students” differed from 120.
Let’s have a look at this single sample of data with
Now that we know how to get descriptive statistics, let’s have a quick look at the sample using the function
stat.desc() in the package pastecs (note that you might need to activate pastecs by selecting Packages>Load package…>pastecs and OK). Retrieve the IQ scores contained in the IQ.txt file by clicking here, copy the values and import them into R under the variable y, then run
options(scipen="100") options(digits="2") y<-c(123, 135, 142, 127, 117, 134, 123, 133, 111, 130, 113, 118, 105, 126, 125, 122, 147, 106, 117, 129, 144, 112, 126, 140, 129, 115, 118, 129, 125, 137, 135, 138, 134, 124, 128, 135, 124, 137, 121, 120) stat.desc(y)
As you may see, the average IQ score in the group of 40 students is 126.35, which is above the university average of 120. Looking at the maximum value and the top of the boxplot below, some individuals are high on the IQ scale, but there are clearly individuals below the reference IQ of 120:
boxplot(y, ylab="IQ score")
Note also that the distribution of individual IQ scores seems “rather normal” looking at the histogram:
The question is: is this enough to declare that these 40 students are better than the rest? To answer that we definitely need a test. Click here to find out how to solve this problem.

Even before social distancing became the norm, three to six feet of distance between me and another person felt comfortable. After an encounter with a person that likes to be very close to someone’s face when talking, I would feel a little anxious. I would notice myself taking a few steps back and trying to end the conversation quickly to regain my personal space. Personal space varies in different cultures, and certainly varies between individuals for a variety of reasons. What many people may not recognize is that dogs also have a varying personal space bubble. Some dogs may have no sense of personal space, but a large majority are more comfortable with social distancing than you may realize.
When you watch dogs interacting, you can see that dogs will use their body language to communicate to the other dog if they are comfortable or uncomfortable. A confident and calm dog will signal to an oncoming dog that they are willing to come closer by curving their body to the side, gently wagging their tail with their facial expressions soft and mouth relaxed. If the other dog is approaching too fast or too intently, they may sniff at the ground, turn their head to the side, or even try to walk away. Most dogs would prefer to avoid conflict by gaining distance from what is causing them stress. Dogs use their body language to try and calm themselves, another dog, or a person approaching them. You may notice stress signals are also called calming signals or displacement behavior in dogs.
Watching the whole dog is key to understanding these signs, as dogs use their eyes, ears, mouth, body posture, tail position, and feet to communicate. Many people realize a stressed dog will have wide eyes, ears pulled back, low body posture, tail tucked, and see the dog avoiding interaction. A stressed dog may also lick their lips quickly, drool, yawn, lift a front paw, pant (when it’s not hot), shed excessively, have their hackles up, shake (like they are wet), and freeze. A dog that freezes with a hard stare, tense facial expression and forward body posture is prepared to defend itself and may escalate to aggressive behavior. These stress signals are a dog’s language, and if recognized and respected the dog can gain the space they need to feel comfortable. Also, they will be more likely to use these subtler signals in the future if they work. Unfortunately, if the signals are ignored or unintentionally punished the dog is more likely to use stronger signals the next time to try and communicate their discomfort. Stronger signals can include, growling, barking, lunging and biting. Genetics, past experiences and prior training effect how quickly a dog will escalate its stress signals.
We can use our voices to politely ask someone to back up or leave us alone. If the person ignores us, we feel justified in raising our voice or calling for help. Our dogs rely on us to respond to their polite requests. If our dogs trust us and we have a history of respecting what they are communicating, we become the help that gets them out of an uncomfortable situation. For instance, I can recognize my dog’s stress when seeing another dog from a short distance. I can then lead her in a different direction to give her space to calm herself before going forward. My dog will be less likely to have to escalate her body language, and we have avoided a bad experience for her. People approaching a dog can also look for these stress signs and decide whether the dog is comfortable or not with being pet or touched.
I am always working on better communication with my dogs because I want them to feel as safe and confident as possible. My big, fluffy rescue dog has learned to tell me he wants pets but only on his ears, chest and back by turning his head when I go in for a hug. He will also walk a little past me so I am positioned at his back. It is almost irresistible for a human to not want to hug him, but I must try. I did not raise him so he may never have been hugged, or it feels too much like restraint to him. People express their affection much differently than dogs and I do not want to constantly be ignoring his head turns so that he eventually will not enjoy our interactions. By offering attention that our dogs find comfortable and enjoyable, we are positively reinforcing the behavior that we like and want to see in the future.
This is a brief overview of a fascinating topic. If you have a dog that is often stressed or fearful, please enlist the help of a professional dog trainer or behavior consultant. One of my favorite books regarding dog body language is: On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals by Turid Rugaas. It is available on Amazon. And watch your dogs as they explore the world. They have a lot to say.

SEL Information and Resources
Overview of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Standards
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to: recognize and manage their emotions; demonstrate caring and concern for others; establish positive relationships; set and achieve goals; make responsible decisions; and handle challenging situations constructively. Students who gain competence in these SEL areas thrive in all aspects of their lives from the academic and extracurricular domains to the family, personal, and community settings.
There is extensive research validating the positive impact that SEL skills have on students’ academic and personal well-being (see the quick link on this page to the research site on the CASEL: Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning website). Due to this and the Children's Mental Health Act of 2003, Illinois legislators enacted Section 15(a) of Public Act 93-0495, which expanded the Illinois Learning Standards to include SEL standards.
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) established the following standards for all K-12 students:
Goal 1 - Develop self-awareness and self-management skills to achieve school and life success.
Goal 2 - Use social-awareness and interpersonal skills to establish and maintain positive relationships.
Goal 3 - Demonstrate decision-making skills and responsible behaviors in personal, school, & community contexts.
The SEL standards describe the specific content and skills students should master at each grade level. SEL benchmarks pertinent to District 86 include early high school (grades 9-10) and late high school (grades 11-12). Detailed descriptors and benchmarks that span a student’s education can be found on ISBE's standards website (see the quick link on this page).
One SEL section of ISBE’s website notes that “when students learn to process, integrate, and selectively apply SEL skills,” the following positive outcomes will result:
- Promotion of mental wellness
- Prevention of mental health issues
- School connectedness
- Reduction in student absenteeism
- Reduction in suspensions
- Adoption, implementation and institutionalization of new practices
- Improved academic outcomes.

• Visiting families in their own homes to offer support, friendship and practical assistance
• Reassuring parents that their difficulties are not unusual or unique
• Encouraging parents strengths and emotional well-being for the ultimate benefit of their children
• Trying to get the fun back into family life
In Scotland there are now 32 schemes, one of them being Home-Start Kincardine.
Home-Start Kincardine was established in 1995 and has continually expanded, now offering support to families throughout Kincardine and Mearns.
Many parents can feel overwhelmed or exhausted by the stresses and difficulties of everyday life. All too often they have no close family members or friends who can give them encouragement, support or breathing space when they most need it.
This is where Home-Start Kincardine can help. We provide volunteers who regularly visit families in their own homes to provide practical help, support and friendship. All our volunteers are parents themselves so they understand the pressures and demands that often come with the job.

Thursday 13th April at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
Notify me when this item is released / available
To celebrate the release of the new album titled 'episode', Ben Gregory visits Kingston to play an in-store set.
Episode is a majestic, multi-faceted and emotionally wrenching record born out of a period of profound personal upheaval. In 2019 Blaenavon, the much-beloved band with whom he released two widely acclaimed albums, was dissolving and Gregory was receiving treatment in psychiatric hospitals. The album began to come together during his recovery. With breath-taking instrumentals and dark, insightful lyrics, Gregory – with the help of producer and old friend Blaine Harrison of Mystery Jets and engineer Matt Twaites – pushed his music to genre-bending limits.
Episode was written over a ten-day period, the eight songs that would become the album sprawled out across the vast emotional spectrum Gregory had experienced in the months beforehand. It was important, he says, “that the representations of different emotions highlight those emotions at their most extreme. That’s how it’s been for me generally, especially during and after bipolar episodes. Depression that couldn’t possibly ever end, guilt that you’ll never get over, yearning that will never be fulfilled, love that will last forever. Silly things like that.”
In-store Grade C
Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of 'episode' from us. If there's space on the day for more people, we'll let you know!
Admission will be via order number, please bring yours to the shop. Albums for collection at the in-store.
Accessible tickets? Info here.

Target glance as a Pre-Assault Cue
We use “target glancing” to refer to any visual assessment of the surroundings or direct intentional staring at a specific point on a potential victim. A gaze in the opposite direction is commonly combined with a definitive weight transfer moment before a sucker punch. There are three main arguments typically expressed for target glancing. The suspect may be looking for potential witnesses, escape routes, or an attempt to distract the victim.
“Bad guys” live victimizing people, and they are aware of the potential legal consequences of their actions. A visual review of the area before an attack for witnesses can help the attacker avoid getting caught or identified as the aggressor. The presence of witnesses may serve as a deterrent; hence the dark lonely alleyway is a common place for criminal attacks compared to a crowded family park. Since target glancing still manifests during unplanned attacks within crowded areas, it’s the weakest reason and does not provide reasonable justification for “hitting” first.
Escape routes are another reason offered up and make sense. A person looking to make a quick buck might assess the area for a potential escape route. They hope to quickly achieve the goal (the goal being a nebulous term referring to the intended infliction of violence or obtaining an item of desire, such as a watch or wallet) and create distance from the location. If we study behavior to justify taking initial action, we want a reason tied to imminent assault. The escape route, no doubt, applies to some percent of attacks but has a closer connection to a planned attack. Is there another reason we would see a person look away moments before a strike?
Looking away before a sucker punch is often a result of the attacker attempting to deceive the victim and catch them off guard. People, being generally curious, become distracted by simple motion. Consider the classic nose touch prank. A person says, “Your shoes are tied,” when you look down, they flick your nose. The distraction creates a moment of defenseless curiosity and a perfect opening to strike. Looking away can also be a way for the attacker to avoid making direct eye contact with the victim, which can sometimes trigger an aggressive response. Avoiding direct eye contact can lure a person into a false sense of security for the victim. They launch the attack during the moment of distraction. Deception is probably the best reason to link target glancing to an imminent attack.
If a person looks away and makes a definitive weight transfer, there is a high probability of an imminent attack. The consequence of not taking action can be dire and completely unrecoverable. This behavior can indicate someone preparing to commit a violent act, and it’s important to be aware of it to stay safe.

There is no one reason why people bully or get bullied. An anti-hate campaign can help people understand that there are many factors that contribute to bullying behavior. These include personality traits, friends, community, and other influences. However, bullies typically have some traits in common. For example, they are easily frustrated, get into trouble often, do poorly in school, take sexual risks, and are impulsive and forceful.
On the other side of the coin, kids who are most likely to be victims of bullies are cautious, sensitive, and insecure. They have problems asserting themselves. They feel lonely and isolated. Males who are the victims of bullies are often physically weaker than the people around them. For this reason, they are at greater risk of getting bullied.
Through an anti-hate campaign, bullies and their victims can be helped to understand the effects of bullying. Bullying can emotionally hurt kids. It can leave kids physically injured. Bullied individuals feel withdrawn and depressed. They may develop physical symptoms, including stomach aches and headaches.
The effects of bullying can be short-term or long-term. There are many individuals who were bullied as children and who have low self-esteem as adults. In extreme cases, bullied individuals may attempt suicide or engage in acts of violence against others.
Bullying does not happen in a vacuum. Even though kids may want to, they don’t know how to stop the bullying.

With constant new technological developments, the interaction between human behavior and information systems will continue to be an important research area for the foreseeable future. While technologies can shape and influence human behaviors, human behaviors can also in turn inform the use and design of technologies. This track focuses on the interplay of human behaviors and information systems at the individual, group, organization and societal levels as well as the intersection across levels. We are interested in research of new technological developments, e.g., virtual reality technologies, and how they promote new forms of human behaviors as well as change the interaction between human behaviors and information systems. We welcome submissions that extend or challenge the current beliefs, assumptions, and theories. Qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method studies are welcome, as are conceptual articles that offer theoretical insights and directions for future research. We are particularly interested in research that seeks to explore less charted territory.

AWARDEES: Torsten Wiesel & David Hubel
FEDERAL FUNDING AGENCIES: National Institutes of Health, Air Force Office of Scientific Research
Research can be unpredictable. Sometimes a small mistake during already odd-sounding research can lead to major scientific advances. There are few better examples than when two neurophysiologists, Drs. David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel, were studying how cats’ brains responded as they were shown a moving dot or a spot of light on a screen, and accidentally pushed a glass slide a bit too far across their projector. That small error kicked off a wave of discoveries that have led to extraordinary progress in our understanding of how mammals’ brains process the world around them—progress that has opened entirely new avenues in brain research, helped untold numbers of children grow up with better vision, and is now influencing the development of machine vision technology.
In the 1950s and ‘60s, the National Institutes of Health and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research supported the work of Drs. Hubel and Wiesel, who were studying how the visual centers in cats and monkeys process simple stimuli. Across a 20-year collaboration, beginning at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and continuing at Harvard Medical School, the pair would go on to make extraordinary discoveries that eventually earned them a Nobel Prize.
But their breakthroughs began with a simple, fortuitous accident during their earliest experiments with cats —a glass slide pushed too far across an overhead projector.
The researchers had begun with what was known: light stimulates light-sensing receptor cells in the retina of the eye, and different receptor cells respond to stimuli in different parts of the retina’s visual field. But Hubel and Weisel were studying nerve cells, or neurons, in higher-functioning areas of the brain not previously studied, which they found frustratingly unresponsive to their simple stimuli—small spots of light or a black dot on a clear glass slide projected onto a screen. Then, as the cats watched, one of the researchers accidentally moved the glass slide a little too far, bringing its faint edge into view. And suddenly those same neurons began firing like mad!
Over the course of the next several months, Hubel and Wiesel made the first crucial steps forward in our understanding of visual processing. They found that particular neurons in the visual cortexes of cats and monkeys—the areas in their brains responsible for processing visual information—didn’t respond to simple points of light, but rather to lines, and in particular, lines and contours with specific orientations. Some neurons responded to horizontal lines, others to vertical, and still others to orientations in between. In addition, they found neurons responding to signals from both eyes, but usually one or the other would dominate.
Over subsequent years, Hubel and Wiesel refined their understanding, mapping the visual centers of their feline and primate subjects with increasing precision. They found the visual cortex consisted of narrow columns of cells organized by eye preference and response to orientation—which they termed “ocular dominance columns” and “orientation columns.” Combined they formed an elegantly organized functional map of neurons that could process the complex input arriving from both of the animal’s eyes.
Soon after moving from Johns Hopkins to Harvard, with their newfound understanding of the brain’s organizational structure in hand, Hubel and Wiesel sought to address a perennial question in biology: nature or nurture?
Hubel and Wiesel began by studying the brains of newborn animals with no visual experience. They found that their feline and primate subjects were born with that elegant functional map already in place in their visual cortices. They found neurons that would respond only to oriented stimuli and that responded to stimulation of both eyes. They concluded that nature provides the neural connections necessary for these two basic response properties.
What then is the role of nurture for the normal development of the brain? It was known from medical clinics that children born with cataracts suffer from severe visual deficits even after their opaque lens is removed a few years after birth. With the physical blockage gone why would this be the case? Hubel and Wiesel had shown that the necessary neural connections should be present at birth.
The researchers addressed this question by studying the impact of raising kittens and monkeys from birth with one eye covered and the other left open. They found that the animal behaved as if it was blind in the previously covered eye, just like in a child after cataract surgery. The cause of this loss of vision turned out to be that neurons in the visual cortex no longer responded to stimulation of the deprived eye but only vigorously to the normal eye. The elegant patterns of ocular dominance the researchers had seen in healthy animals disappeared, with the one dominant eye taking over almost the entire visual cortex. Over a series of experiments, they demonstrated that the brain could literally wire or rewire itself in response to external input (or lack thereof)—a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity—and that this ability seemed to fade with age.
Almost immediately, this realization of the importance of early stimulation to the wiring of the visual cortex translated from the lab to the clinic, where doctors were working to treat children born with cataracts and other eye impairments. With Hubel and Wiesel’s new understanding, doctors began treating children as early as possible, with much better outcomes.
Hubel and Wiesel were pioneers of the visual system, exploring the physiology behind visual perception in animals, thereby teaching us much about how our own minds work. This is critical for today’s computing technology. For some tasks, like computing and factoring large numbers, silicon has our “wetware” beat handily, but for the complex tasks like visual processing, machines are only beginning to catch up to the human brain. This is no small matter; teaching computers how our minds work is big business. The “machine vision” market is projected to grow to tens of billions of dollars in the next few years. Hubel and Wiesel’s work is extremely important to this burgeoning field.
From a slip of the hand while cats watched images on a screen have come better treatments for childhood vision disorders and teaching computers how to process images—this is a powerful example of how science can advance society in the most unexpected ways.

the only way to avoid death was to face her life
in a coma
It's exhilarating book about being trapped in a coma. Have you ever wondered what happens in a coma? Do angels minister in this state? Find out!
From Chapter Thirteen…Turn off my Music: This video is a recreation of what was going on in my head while in the coma. My family was asked to bring in a song that my subconscious might connect to. So my son played a song that I had just created in Garage Band weeks earlier.
From Chapter Eight…The Deal: This video is a recreation of what was going on in my mind while in the coma. I could feel the ventilator tubes in my throat so it felt like a V-shape was cut out of my tongue. I could also feel that my left hand and arm did not feel normal. This sensation made me believe I had a snake tongue and a lobster claw hand.
The videos are dream sequence recreations of how my brain was interpreting the information from audio, smell, taste, touch, feel and room temperature.
From Chapter One...Quest For Electricity: This video is a recreation of what was going on in my mind while in the coma. When I heard the ventilator alarm, my brain had interpreted that the sound as a Mexican Truck Horn, therefor, placing me in New Mexico somewhere driving a truck.
When I woke up from the coma, this was the first video that was taken. It authentically captures my joy for being alive and surviving the ordeal.
From Chapter Five...Record Ring Death: This video is a recreation of what was going on in my mind while in the coma. The compression inflating cuffs that were designed to prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) became very tight around my legs. I was very restless, thrashing about and fighting to free myself from the cuffs, but I really thought it was a snake-like thing (record rings) wrapping around my legs with the agenda to kill me.

The other night David and I had a hard talk.
It was about four kids, and how exhausting and hard and crazy it all was. How we were up before light, and exhausted and half asleep trying to binge watch something in the evening….remember when we got to binge watch TV, babe? And how we are fighting for moments alone together – when the walk-in bedroom closet is the only place – and struggling to connect, and struggling to finish a conversation, and struggling to meet the huge needs of all our kids, how our kids get so much needier when the foster kids come in, how they all need individual love, how we break apart and soothe them each individually to make sure everyone has enough.
We held hands across the pillow, a sick kid in between us, a metaphor, and wondered if we had enough, to keep us going, to keep or marriage from slowly, inching toward an abyss, and dropping off, without anyone really knowing why it slipped over the edge.
They seemed so happy…. the people would say.
We didn’t stop holding hands.
Two is easier than four. Maybe we should’ve just left well enough alone…WHAT THE HELL DID WE DO????
Then, unable to think about it anymore, we fell asleep. Nothing was parsed out. It was left hanging there between us.
The next day started with the usual business. No time to revisit feelings. There were lunches to pack, faces to wash, foreheads to kiss, problems to untangle. Work, writing, shopping, stacks of paperwork I’ve been putting off for weeks. Two ballet classes, an art class, the little ones’ visit with bio mom, lots of driving from here to there. Every section of the schedule fitting like a tight-ass puzzle of interlocking parts.
And then a call on the road. His bio mom wasn’t coming. He ran to me in the schoolyard, calling my name, hugging my legs. The next thing he said was, “Are we having a visit today?”
I told him no. Hugged him, and said I was sorry. He pretended it didn’t matter and changed the subject. We left it all to be unpacked for later, in the wee hours of the night, in the slanted quiet moments of the day, when he could hear it and speak it and move on from it.
Sigh. Sometimes being a foster parent makes you feel like a placeholder. Like the bio parents are taunting you, “Hey thanks for taking care of my kiddos, and dealing with a whole lotta shit, and creating a quagmire in your life, and fucking with your marriage, so I can do my thing in peace over here….” But sometimes it’s like this mission, where you see what it all really means – How you are the only people who are calm and predictable in a kid’s life. How you are the only ones who show up when you are expected to show up. How you are the people who do exactly as you say you will do and a kid starts to understand this is as normal. His normal. And you know, at seven months into this relationship with these kiddos, he is starting to expect that kind of normal, and he is already a less damaged person in the world because of it.
And you remember why there are so many reasons four is good.
These tiny little wins matter.
David and I are okay. Way better than okay. We make sure of it. This moment, the one in the bed with all the hand holding, happened two weeks ago, and we’ve talked it through, created a plan to make it easier on us, and burned through it to the other side. I found my description of it sitting on the computer this morning. I barely even remember the serious tones that I wrote here. It was 234 traumas and 3,000 feelings ago.
We move fast.
We make choices. Like adding more kids to the family. (Maybe we will even add more after this…There has been talk.) Sometimes these decisions feel like weights, and sometimes they set us free. Choosing to have these two join our older two feels sometimes like we threw ourselves into the eye of a tornado.
But mostly, it feels like we are all so good for each other.

The application of Artificial Intelligence to digital / online media manipulates the information that reaches us as readers. For example, a so-called echo-chamber may arise where readers only encounter information that reflects one’s own opinions. The Cambridge Analytica scandal has shown that manipulation of information can be used to control beliefs, and thereby actions.
This relationship is explored from two disciplines: linguistics & psychology. We look, for example, at the best NLP methods for detecting biases in (social) media, and the best cognitive models that allow us to make predictions about changes in beliefs and actions.

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a prevalent problem, afflicting approximately 40% of women and there are few treatment options. FSD is more typical as women age and is a progressive and widespread condition.
1. To measure the importance of psychological & biological factors in relation to women’s sexual response.
2. To understand women’s sexual dysfunction
3. To recognize the complexities of sexual difficulties & choose therapies.
ASSESSMENT OF SEXUAL PROBLEMS
Sexual assessment includes medical, gynecological assessment plus sexual history. Discuss sexual difficulties & identify medical / psychological problems. Speak to both partners at together and separately. Feed backs to both partners should be given regarding possible contributing factors.
FEMALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION – TYPES AND MANAGEMENT
Female Sexual function declines with Menopause transition. When Dysfunction causes distress, it is called Female sexual dysfunction.
A. Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD)- is the persistent or recurrent absence of sexual fantasies/thoughts and/or desire for sexual activity leading to personal distress .
B. Female sexual arousal disorders (FASD)- can be defined as a recurrent inability to attain, or maintain arousal until completion, sexual activity.
C. Orgasmic disorders- are described as
the persistent or recurrent difficulty, delay in, or absence of, attaining orgasm following sufficient sexual stimulation and arousal that leads to personal distress.
D. Sexual pain disorders can be coital sexual pain disorders like dyspareunia and vaginismus and noncoital sexual pain disorder, the recurrent or persistent genital pain induced by non coital sexual stimulation.
Life style changes, improving communication between partners and providing sexual counseling is often helpful. Above all a caring relationship is the key to success.
HRT can customized according to need. Addition of Androgens to ET is especially helpful in premature menopause. Drugs like gabapentine, 5%lidocaine are effective for provoked vestibulodynia & allodynia. Non-hormonal lubricants like soya-isoflavene gel, hyaluronic acid gel can be used for longer time without any systemic adverse effect. Newer drugs has been approved by FDA premenopausal women with difficulties with female sexual arousal. Last but not the least are the energy based (laser and radiofrequency) devices used for vulvovaginal atrophy.
Due to the complexity of FSD, a multifaceted approach, addressing neurobiological, vasoactive, hormonal as well as psychosocial/cultural aspects is required

Holding Space: A weekend workshop on supporting extreme states of consciousness
- Sat 24th Aug 2019, 10:30am – Sun 25th Aug 2019, 5:30pm (UTC BST +01:00)
- The Psychedelic Society, 8 Mackintosh Lane, London, UK
- Facebook event
- Enquiries to [email protected]
"An incredible weekend full of knowledge, kindness and joy. I leave this workshop feeling more confident in my ability to hold space for anyone going through a challenging time, but also feeling more centred." - Maria, participant in London workshop May, 2019
As more and more people are exposed to psychedelics and the delicate states which they awaken, it is essential that we learn how to provide support for the ones who encounter difficult experiences. "Holding Space" is an experiential workshop where we practice tools and techniques that were developed through years of experience in psychedelic harm reduction and mindfulness-based psychotherapy, discuss the different ways with which psychedelics are changing the world of mental health today, and explore what it means to be mindful for our own inner experience when providing support.
Nir Tadmor and Igal Tartakovsky are professional therapists that founded two separate psychedelic harm reduction projects in Israel, and decided to join forces to spread the many important lessons psychedelic harm reduction has to teach us (www.safeshoreisrael.com). During the last year, Nir and Igal facilitated 9 "Holding Space" workshops in Israel and are coming to celebrate the 10th edition in London! Nir and Igal participated in a drug policy discussion in the Israeli parliament, established a psychedelic harm reduction module in the training of paramedics of the national emergency pre-medical services, created a collaboration with the Israeli Society of Addiction Medicine and Holotropic Breathwork Israel, and trained more than 300 volunteers to provide psychedelic crisis intervention services.
"Holding Space" is a 2-day workshop where they share the insights, challenges, mistakes and wonders that they encountered along the way. In the workshop they create a space to explore the importance of compassionate listening, loving presence and mindful awareness so that we can provide basic support in times when our loved ones go through a difficult experience. The workshop will give each participant useful tools with which he or she can hold a safe and supportive space for people who are going through difficult experiences, whether it is related to psychedelics or not.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
* A lecture about the neuroscience as well as the risks behind the consumption of each substance and a discussion about the main principles of psychedelic harm reduction.
* Group discussions on psycho-spiritual crises, tools for integration, the importance of one’s own grounding when supporting, and about the shadow aspect of the globalization of these powerful compounds.
* Practices in couples and small groups.
* A 2.5-hour session of simulations using tools from playback theatre and psychodrama where participants can get as close as possible to hands-on experience in crisis intervention.
- Stories from the field.
WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY?
"The tools that we practised and the knowledge we received are supporting me in different relationships and not only the therapeutic ones. I came out of this weekend feeling immense gratitude on the privilege to participate in this amazing project and for the amazing people who participated." - Ido Sommerfeld
"I entered a space of love from the first moment. I deepened my understanding on how to be mindful to the other and how to allow myself to "just be". This was an exciting experience for me and I was left with a lot of curiosity towards the future and practice of that work. It was a fascinating and professional weekend in a very pleasant environment with a lot of respect for each other. Huge thanks!" - Liat Gelerter
"The training was great! At first I was worried that the approach presented will be too "alternative" and I can say that all my worries were gone once I met a team that is responsible, inspiring, educated and humble. Igal and Nir are acquainted with the slightest nuances of this delicate work and are basing their work on the latest scientific studies in the field. They are highly active and constructive in the community in which they live and are working relentlessly to promote safety guidelines that will promote a better future for it." -Eshel Ozer
"I just left the training, and beyond the science we discussed during the weekend there is a humble atmosphere and a surrendering to a mutual path. I am left very excited, happy and peaceful that such a project exists." - Shahar Ne'eman
"Although I am a social worker and a therapist, I felt that the training managed to further clarify some key aspects that are crucial when we "hold space" for someone who experiences an extreme state. The training exposed me to tools of "sitting" that support one in holding a safe space for someone to go through a transformative processes in and elaborated the different risks that are involved in such work. I feel that the tools and knowledge I learned will serve me further in my professional work and I got to know people who are still very close to me to this day." - Gili Fleischman
10:30am to 5:30pm on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th August
