Drug Awareness Week, also known as Red Ribbon Week, can be observed any week of the year. Creative ways to make Drug Awareness Week memorable for students include designing bulletin boards, wearing red, bringing guest speakers, showing relevant films and other media and fostering discussion groups.
The first Drug Awareness Week was in 1988, organized by the National Family Partnership in honor of a drug awareness pioneer, Enrique Camanara. (See Reference 2 below.) The week's purpose is to educate and remind participants of the dangers of drug addiction, available resources for help, and the importance of saying no to illicit drug use.
Bright boards in popular student gathering places can feature the week's events, statistics about drug abuse, and images of lungs or noses damaged by smoking or snorting drugs. Place red ribbons on the wall around the board to catch students' attention.
Since Drug Awareness Week started, participants have worn red ribbons to show support. (See Reference 3 below.) Give red ribbons to students and school personnel. Send extra ribbons home to give to parents or siblings. Designate one weekday as "Wear Red Day."
Guest speakers can share first-hand experiences with students. Check if your police department includes D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) officers trained to teach about drug use. Ask local clinics or drug counselors if medical personnel are available for assemblies or classroom presentations.
Films, articles, and music help make Drug Awareness Week meaningful. The Foundation for a Drug-Free World offers free DVDs and information kits for schools. (See Reference 1 below.) Play a popular song or read an article depicting drug use and discuss the myths or reality-checks the piece illuminates.
Put students in groups of three to five. Give them five-minute discussion questions about the week's activities. Questions can be factual, assessing what students remember, and emotional, discussing students' fears or hopes. At the end of each discussion, ask one student per group to report on their conclusions, questions or ideas.

Ankara, the capital city of Turkey has been divided by development into old and new sections. Ullus, the old section contains ancient buildings of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman heritage along narrow winding streets. A cultural and trading center during Roman times and situated on the caravan routes during the Ottoman Empire, there has been a settlement on this site since the Bronze Age. The oldest parts of the city are overlooked by the ruins of the old castle. Near the gate of the castle is the Museum of Anatolian Civilization. Here you can see priceless artifacts from thousands of years of history in a beautifully restored portion of the old bazaar. The Aladdin Mosque is found inside the walls of the Castle and many restored old Ottoman Empire houses, art galleries and fine restaurants grace the environs.
Yenisehir, the newer section of Ankara reflects bustling, modern life. It was after the War of Independence in 1924 that Ataturk declared Ankara the capital of the new Republic. Now it is filled with banks, shopping malls, high rises and government offices and is the center of Turkey's highway and railway networks. Ankara is the gateway to many of Turkey's tourist regions. People often come here for business, but stay for pleasure, visiting the city's rich historical sites, its museums and fine restaurants and touring the outlying areas. Come for a doner kebab and stay for the sights!

I wrote something yesterday while I was feeling pretty energized. I sat myself down and let the feeling be. At some point I really felt the urge to write, I mean, I scoured my desk for a pencil because I didn't want to miss something.
I ended up posting it on a closed group that I am a part of on FB. I posted a reply to show where I was coming from, after seeing the time that I posted it I think I rolled my eyes a bit... "As if!"
Still don't know why, and if I add up all the things where I'd say "still don't know why" I could summarize that there's a bigger picture. Something of a positive distraction while nature works at her pace.
there's another curious thing that happens when I get worked-up or feel like I am getting pulled down. It's likely that I've mentioned this before. Songs play in my head, very specific songs with lyrical content that (though subjective and absolutely biased ) speak to my exact situation. I'd be worried if the hints were negative, but they are always trying to life me up. I think it's pretty cool and it makes me smile.
She said "I'll take you some place where I know it will change"
"Arise, remove your earth, shake off your dust, raise yourself, that you may travel in company with the spirits, for your wings are those of a falcon, your gleam is that of a star..."
'It is man's duty not to acquiesce in his merely human state, but rather, in the strength of his contemplation of things divine, to scorn and despise the mortal part which has been attached to him because it was needful that he should keep and tend his lower world.
'If man takes upon him in all its fullness the function assigned to him, that is, the tendence which is his special task, he becomes the means of right order to the Kosmos, and the Kosmos to him.'"
I am pasting something Roger wrote to Jan because it fits well with my previous post. I was looking at older posts and found this. I also found one where you mention basically what is happening right now with the US and Syria. Sorry if this moves about in too many directions but I feel the need to post it in this way.
Let’s be a little provocative: to me, a grown up human being is someone who naturally relates to the ‘Unus Mundus’ because doing this has become a fully integrated function corresponding to a bilateral or reciprocal need: the need to consciously feel one’s working belonging to the universe, and the need for the universe to be consciously recognized in its living relatedness, Eros.
So paradoxically in the culmination of 'amour-propre', self-love, where we in some ways seek nothing but our own good and own well-being, the ego and its will principle become so 'immersed' and unified with the greater field of energy, that they 'vanish' alltogether, because there is nothing egoic that 'stands out' anymore, and the sense of self-ness becomes condensed to its most basic form of simple 'being'.
As any natural growth process, Unio corporalis requires time. It also requires conscious acceptance.
What I mean by ‘natural relation’ is that the relating process has become integrated, that is to say ‘works’ as a ‘natural function’, another ‘sense’.
Of course the personality shift it implies is the fruit of this progressive growth process. On this path paved with abandoned ego desires, the (pavlovian? ) wish for bliss eventually finds its place as something else unfolds.
The ‘crystal body’ is not the exclusive treasure of some people considered as ‘holy hermits’. (If they are ‘holy’ it is because they are “whole-y”, and no saint at all by the way). It also permeates, filtrates through, and finally gilds the surroundings of the life of ‘simple beings’ as you put it. It is, and incarnates in the acts (not necessarily ‘deeds’) of the individuals concerned.
Was reading something of Remo's work tending to the Child archetype.
I had to laugh a bit, seems I was setup (life conditions) to have to deal with it.
My impression was that out of two images the child appears, yet split, and is the next image to contend with.
*I'm putting my own words to that to give a description of what it feels like. "Image"
Edit: I had the chance to speak with my parents about being adopted. Many interesting things came from that. In the conversation I explained that this heartbeat that formed me I had no choice to become unfamiliar with regardless of how much love they gave me when I was young. It's not their "fault" that I have things to deal with in that regard, I said. My dad said "you were our chosen son".
This morning (in the shower!) I remembered the gift I received from them on my 1st birthday, a drum (a new beat).
*edit: just read (today, Monday) that everything in nature is dual - 4.
"So maybe Hillman was right. We don’t have to ground the puer out of fear for his extravagances. Wait a while, and life will bring him closer to earth."
How's this for a type-o?
Lapis Philosophorum: Also known as the ultima materia, aqua permanens (=its libido aspect), rubedo tinctura, filius macrocosmi or philosophorum, quinta essentia, panacea, medicina catholica, rotundrum, elixir vitae, lapis exilis (stone of no worth), everlasting food): the Philosopher's Stone, prized goal of alchemy. According to legend, the Stone, a freed form of the spirit of Mercurius trapped within the prima materia or initially unprocessed raw material, grants immortality, heals all disease, and transforms base metals into gold. Jung saw it as a Self symbol--one compensating Christ--and the goal of individuation.
Zeus was heavy-handed at times, as a result I had difficulty in storms because I was afraid to get hit by lightning.
Might not be good to carry that with me, or maybe I should just to let it clear. i am unsure about that.
Might as well keep the ball rolling.
There are a couple of people who helping me with an intense time. I feel pretty blessed in a lot of ways.
One song sent me on a search and I ended up here.
Call me crazy, go ahead, nothing can take this away from me.
I wrote on a FB group page that I've wept what felt like blood on my drums. I just read this page and I guess it makes more sense.
*btw, I'm tired of talking about them.
this morning I was wondering if individuation was the culmination of Romanticism, it was a totally random thought - I've never really studied Romanticism. I started to search that idea and found some really (really) cool stuff.
Hi, I hope everyone who still reads here is doing well.
I have an interface that allows me to play into my computer and record the random stuff that I am trying to process. Anyway, the other day I was playing and looking at the guitar strings vibrate. At that time I was playing something I thought was pretty cool, and thought that I should stop the recording and make a note about it. I stopped the recording at the 137th bar (I didn't see the screen, just reached up and pressed the space bar). This is meaningful to me because I felt really good about what I was playing!
there's something I wanted to write about on the day it happened but I've let it sit for a while. Just now I felt compelled to write about it.
I often read Gregory's posts and find some ideas in there that are very similar to things I may have been contemplating at the time, etc. Well, this last one was pretty vivid. I was walking my dog and kind of laughed at a random idea that came up. I was thinking of some kind of peg leg person playing some kind of pirate music. I don't know why but I felt it was comical, and I could visualize it pretty well.
Shortly after that day I came across Gregory's post talking about the golden peg leg. Ok, fine, similar theme. Why the hell would I think about it in time with that post?
I've looked at it a bunch of ways and I still just have to let it be. Not sure what to make of it, if anything at all.
Pascal, I am glad to see you posting about complex and deeply meaningful synchronicities. I have been experiencing lots of them many times a day for several months. Other people I know in person or online are also having visions and encountering new people in their every day lives who are also surprisingly having deep spiritual aspirations recently arising in them. I have been thinking frequently of our deceased blog mate Ann Elliot. She wrote mystical books that are still posted online by her family. I think there is one I read a few years ago... and in a recent dream I heard an inner voice say that I will discover answers to some of my deepest concerns from Ann in a very specific book... I will recognize when I go to see again what it might be. Thank You for your continuing participation all these years in preserving the Ann/Suzanne Blog. I have two wonderful daughters nearby where I live... but you in effect are like a wonderful son at a distance who shares all of our similar devotion to knowing we have a purpose in our lives now and most likely will be in the same afterlife locale together.
thanks for a being like a mom at a distance! I can't even describe how much I have learned from you and this forum, it's pretty amazing.
For instance, again, Greg's posts. I recently wrote the words PANIK to you in a message about an event I attended (that word was part of a synchronicity). Now I read his latest post and laughed out loud.
I suppose I just have to settle in to the fact that it's all connected.
*edit: after submitting my post I read it. The image fit so perfectly with the idea of a "mom at a distance"!
Today I read the most recent post in Gregory's thread. I swore, I got up, and I walked away from my desk.
Why o why, that's all I can say. I don't mention mana for I don't know how long and there it is.
I posted on FB this morning on a thread by a Jungian named Craig, it was about Elijah and Mana.
I know where I'm stuck. Why? The only song I've ever recorded and put spoken word to is a song I named THESEUS. I had no idea what Theseus was about when I named it.
Just read another thread, I wonder if the forum will close?
I hope not but it is a possibility. You must feel a little lonely now on the forum.
A little, but it’s ok, we have our reasons. For the past couple of years I thought to let it go, but this magical life keeps offering reasons to stay.
It’s weird, I just thought to post here because of a song lyric that I am listening to. I debated it because - not sure why.
Hi All, Actually it was not us but Remo who started the Ann-Suzanne Blog. He clipped it off from an earlier thread. Of course many of our old faithful posters here and throughout the rest of Unus Mundus no longer post. Some reasons have been that they were moving into work situations and would not be making personal experiences and opinions open to be read by folks wandering in who do not become posters. One of the largest reasons for less devoted posting is, that sadly to us who loved them, many have died over several years mostly from old age. Some of those persons were among our most spiritual as well as intellectual posters. A few people in my personal life have asked me about the forum. I trusted them to come and read. They all replied that this is an amazing forum with wonderful posts that are superior to many new age books about the esoteric topics we have created and maintained I suppose for about 10 years now. I call all of this forum, not just Ann-Suzanne, but instead -- THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WORLD SOUL. One person in my family says it has so much astonishing information that the individual comes by once in awhile and reads more pages. However I do not think that any few people I might know are the ones bumping up the number of readers of our present Ann-Suzanne. Just a very few months ago, I commented to two family members that I expected the number of drop-in readers to reach over 200,000 soon. The number is now actually more than that. Every time we two post, there is a kind of surge of readers. I do not know who they are or why they are likely coming back and not just brand new viewers. Once in awhile I go to various entire forum topics and read some of the very oldest posts from when there were mostly then only a few members and then more coming in and joining in for months or years. It is actually a very fast surge within a day or two of new posts. Perhaps somebody may post who and why they come after reading my comment here. Actually every day and every night, I use the belly brain meditation method that Remo taught us all in the beginning of this wonderful gathering place. It has been a blessing to me and many old friends who were here years ago even if they are not with us any more. If there is a real afterlife, Ann and I wrote emails about probably meeting again over there in the dimension suitable to our mutual ideals and devotions.
Today I realized that it is good that I don’t want to excomunicate the church from me. Christ is the pure light, Mercurius is its complement. If it takes over the light, then, I suppose it is a false light.
Revealing itself in self-discovery. I asked recently “what is the subtrate onto which my thoughts are placed” - it is Mercurius.
Not sure where to post this.
In the past 36 hours or so I feel like Neo in the matrix. I’m tired from the info. Yesterday morning when I was coming out of sleep I heard a very loud popping sound, like snapping out of something, vacuum-like.
Tired, but not exhausted, keeping my limits as best as I can.
Art thou noble to receive?
Know this: I, Mercurius, have here set down a full, true and infallible account of the Great Work. But I give you fair warning that unless you seek the true philosophical gold and not the gold of the vulgar, unless you heart is fixed with unbending intent on the true Stone of the Philosophers, unless you are steadfast in your quest, abiding by God’s laws in all faith and humility and eschewing all vanity, conceit, falsehood, intemperance, pride, lust and faint-heartedness, read no farther lest I prove fatal to you. For I am the watery venomous serpent who lies buried at the earth’s centre; I am the fiery dragon who flies through the air. I am the one thing necessary for the whole Opus. I am the spirit of metals, the fire which does not burn, the water which does not wet the hands. If you find the way to slay me you will find the philosophical mercury of the wise, even the White Stone beloved of the Philosophers. If you find the way to raise me up again, you will find the philosophical sulphur, that is, the Red Stone and Elixir of Life. Obey me and I will be your servant; free me and I will be your friend. Enslave me and I am a dangerous enemy; command me and I will make you mad; give me life and you will die.
This will be a shorter reply tonight. I will add more tomorrow. Where I live near Washington DC, we had an alert this afternoon that a serious tornado was coming our way. That ended for some hours what I wanted to write about the topic right above here from my blog mate. If World War Annihilation takes place sometime soon, because of the insanities going on among many nation leaders and religious leaders who literally want to have the "End Times"... even though supposedly predicted in ancient times... come true specifically in our current time. I was very young just out of high school when I started college in Washington D.C. We young people in the Girl's Apartment house were terrified. It was the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. There was a famous movie called "On the Beach" that portrayed a rather small group of people who had not been blown up like the rest of our world but were gathering together on the open sand areas while waiting in horror that the clouds of radiation would soon come their way and kill them. There was also the grim song that "we will all go together when we go... as there would be no living humans anywhere else on our blasted and poisoned planet. With all the far more powerful nuclear weapons that are horded by several nations, once the first attacks begin, all the other leaders who have their own nukes will join in the launches.
THE END OF US ALL. Well, I started reading about history, religion, what happened in earlier centuries and why can't we figure out how to prevent this heartbreaking end of various men, women, and children who were at least sometimes capable of love, kindness, helping others, and at least trying to understand about the other races, religions, and numerous political fanaticisms. I still have hundreds of books that I was reading from around age 15 and trying to figure out if there was any purpose to our lives at all. This week in my Senior Residence, I am seriously trying to get rid of piles of old documents and letters, but I keep on finding and wanting to hold on to the ones that gave me some concepts of faith and caring about people of all backgrounds. Today I got an email that is offering new additions to one type of books that I studied in a Edgar Cayce group where I lived some decades ago. For now I am only pasting in here what the email said just before I was on my way to a safe room to hide from the tornado that of course tends to stir up fears of an abrupt end of our lives while we still want more time with our children and grandchildren.
Are you looking for a deeper understanding of your spiritual nature and your place in the universe? Decades ago, a group of ordinary individuals were seeking the same answers to life’s questions that are still sought by many of us today. What the Edgar Cayce readings had to offer was a broader view as seen from the perspective of our higher selves—where there is no division, no separation by religion, only oneness. This view incorporates the philosophies of the world into a practical daily application for living that brings hope and profound change into the lives of those who apply it.
Hi Suzanne, What I wanted to ask is: have we talked about Carl Rodgers. Maybe Rodgers is one of the many interested in whatever we seem to be getting more deeply involved in. I got fascinated with the Urantia material today that I had heard of before but never taken the time to try and understand its origin or purpose and today why Wieman's ideas would be incorporated in it. If as they say it was written or compiled for a time after the present crises through which civilization is passing then this would suggest that his ideas which were probably too far ahead the more popular 20th C theologians (for instance Tillich and Barth) his Process concepts are right for the universal perspective of the future.
Hi Ann, I think we are on to something with Wieman and Carl Rodgers for instance that is at least very important to our own spiritual progress but will probably be helpful to others too. Also at some point, maybe it would be the time to add the Wink material, as the disciples' feeling of Jesus' continuing presence possibly can be tied into the notion of the "communion of saints" in which love and inspiration can still be shared between those of like mind and heart whether still alive or deceased. Offhand, I think Wieman, Russell, and others probably are aware of our efforts. In my last E-mail to you I gave an example about the others who may be helping Lee and Bob in their communications with us.
Quote: Who are these many? He (Lee) said that my learning to understand about the often symbolic and synchronistic nature of our communications, which can lead to misunderstandings at times, is an ongoing process, and we will get better at it as we go along. I asked again, who are the many, who are some of them? He replied, do you remember who was always talking about how we are all in an ongoing process in our development? I thought about it... Dana Roblee (the professor who was Lee's best friend) used to say, we are in a process of becoming, the outcome of which we cannot know and which is probably infinite. Yes, Lee replied, Dana is one of the many with me. But, who else I asked? He said, listen carefully now, you will hear who else. I thought I heard a faint tune, but it seemed to me a song without words. I could not think of any words. Since I was alone in the room where I was, I began to imitate the tune softly out loud, lalalala-lala-lalala-lala... well, at that I suddenly burst into tears... and I said, Jack! (my half brother from my father's first marriage who was born in 1919 - 24 years older than I was). He used to whistle that tune when he came over to see our father when I was little. It was "Lili Marlene", the song that German and American soldiers both loved. Jack had been in World War II and accepted German surrenders because he knew German fluently, and later he was a noted professor who had written about the rise of Hitler. In late 1979, I had a dream that I should send a birthday card to my brother Jack, his and my birthdays were one day apart, but he had lived far away all my adult life and I had rarely ever seen him. I sent the card. He wrote back and for the first time mentioned our father's funeral and some other personal things we had never talked about. The next July 4th, Jack died suddenly at age 60, in 1980. So, Lee, said, yes, your brother is another one of the many who are with me.

I was searching info on the transcendent function and saw this as I was scrolling. This is something I should have read long ago considering that I post about it here.
Hello Everybody, As usual I have been busy with practical matters in my everyday life. Now since I am well settled into my new residence, it is much easier for me to be organizing the esoteric material from my old hand-written notebooks going back to from the 1960s to the late 1990s. My Blog mate Ann Elliott, when she was still alive and posting here for several years, used to exchange private emails with me about personal and family topics, or if either of us was sick or traveling, but we usually did not plan specific topics because that would ruin the "meaningful coincidence" of the Blog and some other topic threads on the rest of the forum. She knew from my telling her by email who Lee was and, as mentioned here before a few times, she received dictation communication from her deceased husband Bob Elliott who had studied to be a Shaman with Michael Harner. At first her husband reported that he knew of Lee's work with others in the Beyond but that he did not know Lee because they were on a different level. This below is a copy of her post from 2008. First for any forum newcomers, I should mention that Ann and Bob had met Lao Russell, widow of Walter Russell, in person when Lao was visiting and lecturing in California near to where Ann and her husband lived. Lao and Ann wrote many letters to one another for quite a number of years. Many of the vibrational sound combined with color healers of today derived part of their inspiration from Dr. Russell who was a classical organist himself and from his scientific charts and psychedelic cosmic paintings -- well before the hippies and other young interdimensional travelers were reporting such experiences widely in our American culture. I live in Virginia only several hours away from the beautiful Swannaoa Palace in Waynesboro Virginia where the Russells lived for several decades. I have been there many times over the years and had talks and walks with Lao Russell in person without being in a group visit. Since Lao passed on, there are some but not many of us older people aged 60 to 90 years old who knew her. Later this year, I am planning to meet up with some of those oldsters and the middle aged and much younger folks who know of and admire the teachings of Lao and Walter. With all the present fears about the possibility of worldwide nuclear war in our time, the Russell 1950s book Atomic Suicide is being read by newer generations. Finally below is the complete post that Ann wrote here in 2008. She is of course now wherever Bob is on the other side or in what ever higher realm they have moved to since then.
Quotes from Bob by dictation through Ann who had also been Bob's secretary during his years as a lawyer. START: I have had no direct contact with Suzanne's friend Lee but I am aware of his presence here and the importance of his work and contribution. So much more can be accomplished when there is a conscious and deep love--such as we have—connection . She can and is assisting him and the larger work he is part of. I can tell you very little, both because I know little, understand less, and would not in any event be permitted to. However, she has the ability for direct communication with him and it should be through writing down what he instructs her as to how she can help him. Tell her about your work in Scotland in establishing the triangle. It is such a small piece of the puzzle we were given to work on/with. . . .
There are a number of things I'd like to write about but I was searching some stuff in my computer just now and realized that I had a copy of Holy Wedding.
-what is the deeper significance of synchronicity? Remo says it is BCI. Ok, well, I have a lot of them. Ridiculously meaningful ones.
I want to know what to do with them, if that makes any sense. Follow them, yes, but mine are related to things that I do not fully understand. Perhaps I have gained some understanding of the qm subject along the way that I did not have before, but it's not like I'll make a career out of it. Anyway, synchronicity is incarnation in the mind, and bci incarnation in matter..
This might be for future reference.
Edit: I guess there are times that I’d like to thank them as well.

Besides President's Day the two holidays vying for the coveted most popular title are St. Patty's Day and Christmas. One concerns the birth of the One True Christ and the other celebrates the patron saint of Poor Person Island, or Ireland as it's usually called. Each Holiday also has a spokesperson: St. Patrick will defend his holiday while the Lamb of God leaves the defense of his birthday to the formidable St. Nicholas, or Santa Clause.
Drunken groping, green face paint, vomit, singing, a parade, funny dancing. Christmas tree, presents, your gay cousin who's 'not welcome' at Uncle Chris' anymore.
can I have the receipt for that sweater grandma got me? She didn't give you one? Oh, Ok, I guess I'll just dress like a retard all year then. Thanks for nothing, Granny."
The Irish Sailors and thieves = pirates!
Was there ever even a question of who was going to win this showdown? Sure, we all love Santa Clause and, yes, he did bring me that sled I wanted when I was ten, but St. Patty openly encourages drunkenness, dancing and green face paint. So, thanks St. Patrick, you've got one hell of a holiday; it'd be even better if I could remember what I did during it. Oh well, happy post-St. Patty's everyone.
Come say to Streeter at His Site.

Summary: Researchers report adolescent rats exposed to high fructose corn syrup in their diets were more prone to experience symptoms associated with bipolar disorder.
Since the introduction of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in 1970s, it has become the major caloric sweetener used in many soft drinks and processed foods. Much effort has been put in to characterize the cardiometabolic consequences of HFCS consumption, such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, obesity and premature cardiovascular events. However, little is known about how HFCS consumption effects mood-related behaviors, especially in the adolescents, the top consumers of drinks and foods enriched by HFCS.
In order to address this question, researches from Hacettepe University Medical School fed adolescent rats with HFCS solution, content of which is strikingly similar to the HFCS content of sugar sweetened soft drinks available for human consumption. Adolescent rats fed with HFCS solution showed insulin resistance and had more body fat compared to rats given tap water.
In addition, these rats showed increased activity (hyperlocomotion), decreased anxiety with increased risk-taking behaviors, increased social and sexual reward-seeking behaviors, and increased sensitivity to behavioral despair with impairments in learning and memory; all of which are characteristically seen in patients with bipolar disorder.
Researchers found out that these rats showed increased excitability in their hippocampi, which is known as one of the earliest endophenotypic manifestation of bipolar disorder. This hyperexcitability was due to both increased presynaptic release probability and increased readily available pool of AMPA receptors to be incorporated into the postsynaptic membrane.
In order to address this question, researches from Hacettepe University Medical School fed adolescent rats with HFCS solution, content of which is strikingly similar to the HFCS content of sugar sweetened soft drinks available for human consumption.

Additionally, TDZD-8 treatment was found to restore behavioral and electrophysiological disturbances associated with HFCS consumption by inhibition of GSK-3B, the most probable mechanism of action of lithium for its mood-stabilizing effects in patients with bipolar disorder.

Children and adolescents are the top consumers of high‐fructose corn syrup (HFCS) sweetened beverages. Even though the cardiometabolic consequences of HFCS consumption in adolescents are well known, the neuropsychiatric consequences have yet to be determined.
Adolescent rats were fed for a month with 11% weight/volume carbohydrate containing HFCS solution, which is similar to the sugar‐sweetened beverages of human consumption. The metabolic, behavioural and electrophysiological characteristics of HFCS‐fed rats were determined. Furthermore, the effects of TDZD‐8, a highly specific GSK‐3B inhibitor, on the HFCS‐induced alterations were further explored.
HFCS‐fed adolescent rats displayed bipolar‐like behavioural phenotype with hyperexcitability in hippocampal CA3‐CA1 synapses. This hyperexcitability was associated with increased presynaptic release probability and increased readily available pool of AMPA receptors to be incorporated into the postsynaptic membrane, due to decreased expression of the neuron‐specific α3‐subunit of Na+/K+‐ATPase and an increased ser845‐phosphorylation of GluA1 subunits (AMPA receptor subunit) respectively. TDZD‐8 treatment was found to restore behavioural and electrophysiological disturbances associated with HFCS consumption by inhibition of GSK‐3B, the most probable mechanism of action of lithium for its mood‐stabilizing effects.
This study shows that HFCS consumption in adolescent rats led to a bipolar‐like behavioural phenotype with neuronal hyperexcitability, which is known to be one of the earliest endophenotypic manifestations of bipolar disorder. Inhibition of GSK‐3B with TDZD‐8 attenuated hyperexcitability and restored HFCS‐induced behavioural alterations.

Following the merger of Orange and T-Mobile to form Everything Everywhere (EE), there was in many cases an initial improvement in coverage and signal strength as EE enabled their customers to roam via both sets of masts.
However, this has been followed by consolidation/rationalisation of masts, decommissioning many masts and moving equipment to other masts which were considered to provide adequate cover.
It is not necessarily one of the most high-profile functions that Ofcom carries out, but it is nevertheless basic to Ofcom's core purpose. The licensing regime for commercial and community radio stations across the UK is part of the nitty-gritty of regulating broadcasting, and I have just been introduced to how the process works for applications from Wales – along with Ofcom's Director for Wales, Elinor Williams – as a first-time member of Ofcom’s Radio Licensing Committee.
National and local governments worldwide are developing plans to roll out government-owned broadband networks. The capabilities of next-generation networks are seen as an important ingredient for economic recovery, which is much needed during this period of economic uncertainty. However, governments are not stimulating broadband provision for purely economic reasons.
Franck Chevalier explains the different models available for private sector involvement in government-led broadband projects, and why commercial operators should see this as an opportunity.

Getting a healthful body needs attention and the right tools. When a family member shows signs of a mental wellness illness or substance abuse, he/she wants proper treatment to address the underlying reasons for the scenario. In Georgia, Blue Cross Blue Shield coverages enable people start working on getting private targets and to seek treatment for an addiction.
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield provides various alternatives to address substance abuse on getting healing targets and work. Typically, the coverages are categorized as Gold, Silver or Bronze plans. A Bronze coverage is a fundamental plan that has the lowest monthly price and covers most health care concerns, yet, in addition, it has the maximum deductible and out-of pocket expense. It's not inappropriate when people don't anticipate important health problems, but in addition, it covers most scenarios. Silver coverages are typical plans that have a middle range price on the mid range and a monthly basis out-of pocket expense. It enables people to prevent high prices when unforeseen complications appear, and covers most of the health problems, including mental wellness illnesses. A Gold coverage has the maximum monthly price, but the lowest deductibles and out-of pocket expenses. Typically, the most complete coverage is offered by Gold coverages. Georgia has numerous coverage alternatives to help healing targets and address substance abuse. The particular details involving alternatives and dependency treatment for mental wellness illnesses depends upon the demands of the person and the coverage. Most coverages in Georgia insure dependence and mental health illnesses after the person pays the stated deductible. The policies typically pay a portion of the treatment prices, like 60 to 80 percent of the treatment costs. Coverage and precise speeds change.
Constraints in Blue Cross Blue Shield coverages in Georgia depends on the details supplied in a coverage that is particular. Typically, the guidelines restrict coverage to out-of network applications. Some policies need pre authority for treatment in a residential plan. Pre authority implies that the person notifies the insurance carrier about the intent and the treatment plan to enter the facility before beginning treatment for a mental wellness illness or substance abuse. The details change, although some policies don't need pre authority. Coverages also can need a recommendation from the primary care physician before beginning any treatment that is specialized. Read the policy cautiously to discover whether it needs a referral when seeking treatment to prevent any complications. Other constraints relate to particular kinds of systems or the duration of treatment that the coverage will not insure.
The insurance plans from Blue Cross Blue Shield in Georgia provide a basis to help discover the next measure of restoration. It enables people to identify plans that are suitable based on the network after which compare amenities to find the right option for private targets. Assess the options the plan offers after identifying possible treatment facilities. As an example, ascertain if the facility requires a conventional or holistic approach to healing. Applications that are holistic use tools like counselling, nutritional supplementation and treatments for physical diseases to address complications or any health issues that appear after using booze or drugs. The plan assesses the needs of somebody before beginning treatment and requires an entire person approach to healing. Applications that are conventional use tools like group therapy, family therapy and counselling to address substance abuse and mental health illnesses. By utilizing tools such as cognitive therapy and behaviour modification to transform unhealthy thought processes and shift incorrect activities signs established applications also help with long term targets.

In keeping with the core tenets of the blockchain philosophy and architecture, CryptoAds developed by CFC, looks set to be a promising alternative and solution to address the hegemony of the online advertising industry. In this CryptoAds ICO Review we will discover the technical details and plans for this to happen.
According to their forecasts, the potential sum added by intermediaries to an advertising product as it winds its way from the advertiser to the final end-user can be as high as 1000%. That’s quite a markup. Tackling this along with providing complete transparency and immutable histories, contributing to advertiser’s ratings, are the focal areas CryptoAds is aiming for – leveling the online advertising playing field in the process.
Conceived back in 2011, CryptoAds grew quickly and received contributions in 2013 before moving onto the blockchain in 2015. Since then the team behind CryptoAds has been closely examining its functionality and inner workings before preparing the concept and moving onto the ICO and launch.
Built on the Ethereum network and aimed at the B2B market, the platform is transparent and secure, providing decentralized advertising solutions without the need for a central exchange. CryptoAds provides the bandwidth and computing power to track and verify ad clicks and impressions while taking their cut as a fractional percentage of token payments.
Cutting costs for the advertiser is one thing, but CryptoAds aims to go a step further, says their CEO and founder Oleksii Vinogradov. According to him, low price ads are just the tip of the iceberg. By utilizing Ethereum smart contract technology every user will have their complete history recorded and this will make up their overall rating. This is aimed at promoting transparency and preventing fraud.
The application of this can be taken further, by selectively choosing which users an ad targets, such as those with the highest trust ratings. Through the smart contract system they have developed, the top rated users have the opportunity to earn within the network. This concept will, Oleg explains, enable users to select advertisers’ products and services based on their rating, which will reflect the caliber of their ads.
CryptoAds has launched their coinsale in the wake of controversial stirrings in the wider online advertising world. Facebook, Twitter, Google and now Microsoft have all implemented bans on crypto advertising on their platforms.
The reasons behind the moves of the largest online advertisers have been hotly contested, with their official reasons running along the lines of lack of regulation and the additional security risks this poses for end users.
This is, in part, understandable since ICO fund generating fell victim to scams and frauds in 2017 where investors were left out of pocket. However, anyone who knows the veracity of blockchain technology and the practical solutions it offers will appreciate that a blanket ban on all crypto advertising is quite a leap. Careful screening and insisting on prototypes and a minimum viable product (MVP) would have kept the advertising space available and under strict watch.
Whether these bans will play into the hands of CryptoAds is yet to be seen. ICOs and blockchain-affiliated groups may favor their platform for promotion, and not just for the ethical reasons but because there are now limited channels open to them.
The remaining 60% are allocated to network growth through rewarding publishers and users earning, and the token reserve.
CryptoAds has allocated 50% of funds into R&D, and 30% into marketing and sales with the remaining 20% going to legal, registration, admin and operations.
Their overall ICOBench rating is 4.4 with an expert rating 4 for the team makeup.
With their presale ending soon and the main sale starting mid-June, CryptoAds have already raised over $3.2 million in funds: just over 10% of their $30 million hard cap.
With a minimum individual cap of $100USD and no maximum cap, CryptoAd’s CRAD coin is available for all to purchase from individual small sums to large group investments.
CryptoAds has ambitious plans: with tokens issued mid-July at the end of the crowd sale and subsequently listed on exchanges and commencing platform development in early August. They aim to finalize the platform at year-end and launch at the start of 2019.
At present they state to having 100 advertisers on board, with a good proportion advertising on their platform daily. On the whole, the platform sees about 100,000 users per month, with 7 million users in total, mainly from the U.S. and India, with others from the U.K., Russia and the Middle East. By their own forecasts, they see their user audience growing to around 1.5 million by the end of 2018 alone: forming one of their current main objectives. 2018 is set to mark the arrival of developers to begin integrating the platform into their apps as well, further increasing CryptoAd’s reach.
With significant milestones approaching, interested parties will undoubtedly follow CryptoAd’s progress with rigor, and weigh their advances with crypto-related advertising rulings in the wider market.

A new survey has provided a unique insight as to how faith school admission policies are being abused, revealing the hypocrisy that pervades the faith admissions system, and bringing into question the continuing involvement of faith groups in state funded education.
The new research suggests that up to a third of places at religiously selective faith schools may be given to children of families who have feigned religious practice in some way.
Chair of the Accord Coalition for Inclusive Education, Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain MBE, said ‘These findings are highly revealing. For the first time they shine a light on the way the faith school admissions system is being abused towards serving the affluent, when most Church schools were originally establish to provide education for the poor. The real extent of the cheating may well be much higher’.
‘However, it is hard to blame parents who pay lip-service to a system that can require them to feign belief and practice so their children can gain admission into good schools. What is at fault is a system that puts parents in this position in the first place.
The poll findings can be found in the Sutton Trust’s new report ‘PARENT POWER?’ at http://www.suttontrust.com/our-work/research/item/parent-power/. The Sutton Trust aims to improve social mobility and address educational disadvantage.
The April 2007 report ‘Churchgoing in the UK’ from the Christian charity Tearfund found that 10% of adults in Great Britain attended Church weekly – available at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/03_04_07_tearfundchurch.pdf.

If you get the “Failed to start Authorization manager” while booting a Linux OS (e.g. CentOS) most likely you’ve a SELinux misconfiguration.
The main issue is that if you’ve restarted the system, you cannot login since OpenSSH service is not running. If you’ve a virtual server, even the console shipped by your provider is stuck on the Authorization manager error.
The reason behind this in my case was a completely wrong value in SELINUXTYPE.
The example below is valid for a Digital Ocean’s droplet running a CentOS 7 but can be adapted to other providers and distro.
3. Mount the root filesystem, e.g.
Where /dev/vfsa1 is your root partition.
Go to a new blank line after, then type Ctrl+D to quit. Since initramfs hasn’t a text editor like vi or nano, the simple cat > filename do the trick.
5. From your dashboard, change the kernel version to what you’ve used previously and Power Cycle (reboot) the machine using the dashboard because a reboot from initramfs in this state will restart initramfs itself.
Open the provider’s console on boot to see your system working again. Wait the services to start and then connect with your SSH client to see again your files and get again the control of your server.
Be careful when configuring SELinux again and create a shapshot and/or backup after you’ve restored your server…and before changing SELinux again.
HTTPS is a great improvement to a website security. However, HTTPS comes in different flavours and among these there are very weak ones.
Among protocols, SSL have to be avoided because it is not secure. Its successor, TLS, comes in different versions and supports different ciphers. To be short, the cipher is the encryption method/algorihms the website and the client use to talk each other.
The combination of protocols and ciphers available to implement HTTPS will limits the type of clients capable to access the website.
To be sure your website will not lose traffic, you have to balance the strongest ciphers available with the most compatible but still secure, dropping all weaker ciphers.
If you’ve already implemented HTTPS on your website, first you’ve to check ist current security status of protocols and ciphers.
Check your hostname on Qualys SSL Labs pasting the HTTPS protected domain on the Test your server section. It’s a fast method with a very detailed output for public websites.
The report will give your hostname a rank, a detailed list of issues, browser support, and the complete list of supported ciphers. Among these ciphers, you can get some ciphers highlighted in yellow. You have to get the rid of these no matter what.
The list of ciphers actually differs from a typical cipher declaration on nginx because nginx can use the OpenSSL naming and Qualys uses IANA naming.
Here’s an helpful conversion table by Mozilla where you can convert IANA to OpenSSL and the other way round. Take note of the weak ciphers but wait before start to cut your cipher declaration on nginx.
You’ve to check how many visitors you’ll lose after the cut first.
Using Google Analytics or similar services and software, go to the Audience > Technology > Browser to get a list of your visitors’ browsers. Select a timespan like the last year or less.
Well, someone is still using Internet Explorer 9.0 in 2018.
Since Internet Explorer running on old Windows versions (like XP) is one of the most troublesome combination, check how many visitors use this legacy software.
On Google Analytics type on the search box “Internet Explorer” and you’ll get the browser usage of this legacy browser. Select OS version as secondary dimension to get a list of OSes using IE.
Compare this list with the report from SSL Labs and with the conversion table from Mozilla cited above and count the number of visitors you want to cut off from your website in the sake of security.
Each cipher is separated by a ‘:’ and at the end some elements (typically using OpenSSL naming) are forbidden with a ‘!’.
Change the conf file, reload nginx (on CentOS 7 systemctl reload nginx) and then re-run the SSL Labs test.
Modern protocols and ciphers implemented using the above declaration on nginx cut off IE 8 on XP and IE 6, the report explain.
According to the technology used by visitors of the analyzed website, few visits are sacrificed for better security for both visitors and host.
Tune these settings according to your needs, keep monitoring the tecnology used by site visitors and dropping legacy system progressively, with Modern compatibility as a (not so) long term objective.
Certificates renewal can be difficult to automate leading to errors that will mark the website as “Insecure”.
Every day at 02.37 the certificate will be asked for renewal. Two minutes later nginx will be restarted.
And then you can use it on the crontab.
You’ve also to use the alternative of systemctl for your system to refresh the certificates on the webserver.
If you’ve to do get your first certificate, here you can get more information about how to install free Let’s Encrypt certificates on nginx.
Since certificates lasts for about three months, you can tell crontab to run this every week instead every day.
Adding the 0 on the 5th position will tell crontab to run the command every Sunday at 2 AM (2nd position) and 37 minutes (1st position).
If you find this syntax difficult you can use crontab.guru to easily generate the crontab.

If you can’t come up with something original, why not just rehash the hits from the past? That’s the standard operating procedure for Hollywood and TV studios these days which seem intent on rebooting old shows. One such reboot that we have previously reported on is that of Roswell, the hit series which kick-started the careers of Jason Behr, Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fehr, Majandra Delfino, and Colin Hanks and made aliens living in the U.S. a cause for concern long before the current U.S. government decided it need to be looked at. Something which this new take on the show is looking to exploit.
Part of what made that first Roswell series work was its cast, which is one thing they want to ensure remains in place for this reboot of the show and Deadline has revealed exactly who’ll be playing who . This includes the roles for the three aliens Max, Isobel and Michael, as well as two other humans who get pulled into the drama, Maria and Alex.
The role of the secretive Roswell police officer Max is to be played by Nathan Parsons, who took over the role of James on the final season of True Blood. The ambitious Isobel is to be played by relative newcomer Lily Cowles (Brain Dead). Michael Vlamis (Vlam Carter) is to play his namesake Michael, a “troubled but brilliant” alien seeking to escape the planet and its populace. CW regular Heather Hemmens has been cast as Maria, “Liz’s fun, free-spirited former best friend and social media maven”. Closing out the cast is Pretty Little Liars star Tyler Blackburn playing the part of Sgt. Alex Manes, a war-scarred survivor who has plenty of psychological damage from his tours of duty in the Middle East.
It’s a mix of names we’re familiar with and some new ones which required googling, but in the end it’s the kind of cast that you would expect from CW as they’re firmly aiming this for the teen market much like the first edition of Roswell. Roswell doesn’t have any release date yet, but with a lead cast now in place, things should start falling into place soon.
This new trailer for Legends of Tomorrow has Mexican wrestlers, Bollywood and Nixon!

Hiring a broker to sell your home could be expensive sometimes, and if you want to save out on that expense then why not try to sell it yourself? There are only a few easy steps required to do so.
The first step you should take when selling your home by yourself is to put up a "For Sale By Owners" sign in front of your home. This sign, which is commonly referred to as the FSBO sign will provide a chance to the passer by that's this piece of property is up for sale. This way anyone passing by your house would know that it is being sold. Moreover if you manage to sell your house through a FSBO sign, you have managed to save tens of thousands of dollars that would have otherwise gone to the broker as his / her commission. On the flip side, it is sometimes seen that mostly houses this way go to the brokers, but this needlessly not be the case if you follow these few and simple tips at hand.
Another important aspect that needs to be kept in mind is that when using the FSBO sign to sell your home, it is normally expected that you will have to share your savings that you get by not getting a broker with the buyer. Therefore it is seen that FSBO-sold homes go for a price that is below that market value. So it is necessary that you price your house competitively.
If you are confused as to how the pricing should be done, then you should envision yourself as the buyer and reverse the roles. You could even go visit homes being sold via a FSBO signboard so that you are aware of the mechanism of the entire process. Moreover this would help you in setting up a price for your own house as well.
Appearance always does count, whether its humans or non-human things. Simply it is simply good marketing to make your house look new and aesthetically pleasing. If any repairs need to be done, make sure that is taken care of. A new paint job or fixing up the yard or garden all add up to the aesthetics and make the house look beautiful and inviting.
Also be creative and gear up the marketing efforts behind your house. You could play with the FSBO signboard and use flashy colors, pictures etc to make it attractive and distinguished. Or if your budget allows, you could even put up an advertisement in the local newspapers, or even make flyers and put them up in public places. If you do choose to go for any of this, then make sure that your phone and answering machine are functioning properly and keep a check on them so as to not miss on any client. Anything that you do to make your house go public yourself furthers you away from the broker!

Something to consider about armoires is the doors. Wrap-around doors that are double-hinged swing out to 270 degrees, which should prompt you to place the armoire in an area that permits the broad swing. Other armoires that have doors that move into the armoire itself are an exceptional option if you’re brief on space. However, the disadvantage is that with doors that move inward, you lose a little interior space.

Refurnishing is mainly done prior to the holiday season. Bedroom sets allow you to bring in a warm and comfy environment to make every visitor feel at home. A bedroom set would generally include a bed, a pair of side tables, an armoire and often a dresser. The pieces in a bedroom set have the exact same product finish and color and aid to develop harmony and visual connection in the entire bedroom. The selection of furniture is necessary in any interior decoration project. A crucial facet in selecting bedroom sets is the floor space. If your space floor location is small, then bulky furniture would not be as great a choice as dark-stained furniture. Before you get furniture for your home, envision your bedroom and try to envision how it will appear after setup. A great recommendation would be to determine your space and utilize the dimensions for precise option. In this method, you might think about alternate positioning or have a mix-and-match of various design themes by creating a layout.

text: Among my favorite experiences listening to music is a sense of “mishearing” a groove, which I sometimes call “retroactive hearing”: one hears the beat and relates to it in a particular way, then some future event serves to recontextualize that relationship, ratcheting the listener out of comfortable space and forcing a readjustment. For a long time I wanted to write music that did this obsessively, and collaborating with New York’s So Percussion provided an ideal testing ground. For Polybot, the second piece in what became an ongoing series, I took a simple idea—breaking up a groove and hocketing it among several players—and pushed it through a variety of metric modulations. These “groove prisms” emerge slowly and eventually take over the foreground, pulling the listener from security through peril and then back to solid ground, again and again. I also envisioned a condensed setup, imagining a choreography of communication between players who share instruments and generally have to get out of each others’ way.

Chelsea secured a victory against Burnley last night, in which Alvaro Morata grew frustrated owing to the fact that he was substituted off by Antonio Conte.
The Spaniard clearly portrayed an underwhelming performance, even missing out on simple chances in front of goal. His lack of clinicality has been put to question this campaign, with multiple comparable situations occurring throughout the season.
The former Real Madrid striker was replaced by Eden Hazard with twenty minutes in the remainder of the entirety of ninety minutes.
As he made his way to the sidelines, the Spanish international was provoked, with the fans trying to make him reminiscent of his mistakes.
Further, he let his frustration manifest itself by engaging with the Burnley fans prior to taking off his boots and shin pads and slamming them on the ground, as Cesc Fabregas attempted to calm his teammate down.
The former Juve man’s situation at Chelsea has been scrutinized since the commencement of the season. Nevertheless, he’s showing signs of the frustration taking the better of him recently.
Regardless, Chelsea held up their 2-1 lead, as they now rest five points below Tottenham with four games in the remainder. With the Champions League spot hopes already gone, the Londoners could perform their best to salvage what’s left of it.

In an environment in which intellectual property is everything, blogging seems slightly risky. Some of the ideas I want to write about are yet to be published: others I have learned on the fringes of formal events and it’s pretty clear that the source never intended them for publication. I want to credit the former, and protect the latter. If you think I’ve got the balance wrong, please let me know at vicki@confoundingfactor.org. E-mail sent to that address will be forwarded to my University of Southampton account (I have not posted my university address here in the hope of minimising spam). If you think I’ve misrepresented you, please consider making a comment on the blog instead of asking me to remove the post.
