The Benefits of Chiropractic for Chronic Pain Caused by PTSD

Man with PTSD

Chiropractic Can Ease Chronic Pain Related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Chronic pain, one of the lesser-known symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), can make living with the condition even more difficult. Fortunately, your chiropractor can help you manage your PTSD pain.

How PTSD Causes Chronic Pain

Can you remember the last time you truly felt relaxed? Flashbacks, nightmares, and negative thoughts can trigger near-constant stress and anxiety. Unfortunately, both stress and anxiety can be factors in pain.

When you're stressed, your muscles tend to tighten, particularly those in your head, neck, shoulder, and back. In fact, your chronic back pain could actually be caused by your PTSD. In a study conducted on male twins, researchers discovered that men who had PTSD were more likely to have chronic back pain than their twins. The research appeared in the September 1, 2019 issue of Spine.

Tight muscles can also be to blame for frequent tension headaches and migraines. Constant muscle tension may eventually cause painful knots that never seem to go away. Pain from knots can travel to other parts of the body. Although a knot might be located in a muscle in your upper back, you may actually feel pain in your shoulder and arm.

Muscles that are too tight may pull the vertebrae in your spine out of alignment. Misalignments, called subluxations, are common causes of neck and back pain but can cause pain anywhere in the body. Subluxations, coupled with tight muscles, can also affect your ability to move a joint freely and without pain. Misaligned vertebrae or muscles may press on nerves, causing sciatica or other types of pain.

Stress and anxiety might be the reason you experience abdominal pain or diarrhea. When you're stressed, your body produces higher amounts of the hormone cortisol. Elevated levels of cortisol can irritate the lining of the digestive tract, causing abdominal pain. Too much cortisol may also be the reason that you have to make frequent trips to the bathroom.

If you already have pain from an injury, feeling constantly anxious or stressed may make your pain even worse.

Chiropractic Treatments Helps You Manage Pain Naturally

Luckily, visiting your chiropractor can help you keep your pain under control. Chiropractic treatment offers these benefits:

  • Correction of Spinal Misalignments. Your chiropractor uses spinal manipulation to adjust and realign your spine. The therapy is performed with the hands or a small activator device and involves quick thrusts to your spine. You'll probably begin to feel better after your first treatment, although you'll need to return for additional treatments to experience the full effects of this therapy.
  • Looser Muscles. Once your spine is properly aligned, your muscles and tendons will become looser too, decreasing muscle pain and spasms. Massage might be part of your treatment plan, in addition to spinal manipulation. The therapy eases muscle tension and also raises serotonin and endorphin levels. The natural chemicals help you relax, improve your mood, and act as natural painkillers.
  • Improved Range of Motion. Chiropractic treatment makes it easier to move your joints without pain and increases flexibility.
  • Less Stress. Raising your serotonin and endorphin levels while also easing joint and muscle pain just may help you feel less stressed. Once your stress is under control, you may notice less chronic pain.
  • Reduced Inflammation. Chronic stress can lead to inflammation throughout your body. Inflammation is linked to depression, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and heart attack, according to the Cleveland Clinic. It may also cause pain. Fortunately, chiropractic treatments offer a simple way to lower inflammation and stress.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I endorse Dr. Gabay to be among the best in the medical community. Being a member of the 2010 Olympic bobsled team I received treatment from hundreds of chiropractors over my athletic career. I believe Dr. Gabay is among the best with his unique blending of knowledge and treatment styles. Dr Gabay is the type of doctor that sets his goals to treat the underlying problem, not just treat the symptoms that it creates. His friendly personality and treatment philosophy have inspired me to gear my academics toward the field of chiropractic medicine."
    John Napier 2010 Olympian OEF Army Veteran
  • "Dr Gabay has helped me more than once, go from extreme pain, to pain free. I first went to him with very bad sciatic pain. I couldn't sit in a chair, any chair. After a few visits, I all of a sudden realized that the pain was gone. I kept going for quite a while until things were really 'straightened out'. I would recommend him to anyone (and have) who needs a chiropractor. When I first went, I had never been to a chiropractor, and of course had heard lots of 'horror stories'. I now know that there really are good chiropractors, who can help relieve pain WITHOUT drugs.... and Dr. David Gabay is one, for sure!"

Report of Findings

Report of Findings

As practitioners, we have all been trained that we need to include a Report of Findings for each and every one of our patients.

Depending on where you studied, or what you have researched, you may have discovered that there are a number of different formats for your Report of Findings. But how do you choose which one will work best in your office?

Dr. Pisciottano ran into that same problem when he graduated. And what he had found was that there wasn’t one that really gave him all of the benefits he was looking for. So he created his own.

You see, when a Report of Findings is done properly, a patient should be properly pre-disposed, which means that they know exactly what their condition is, how their treatment plan will work, when to expect results and when they should be coming back in for maintenance.

It should all start with a proper consultation on Day 1. You should never treat a patient on Day 1. Rather, you take that appointment and gather all of the information regarding the patient’s condition as possible. Learn about your patient and what they have tried for the problem, if they’ve been treated before, etc. This does 2 things: Creates a bond and shows the patient that you truly care.

On Day 2, you should meet with the patient again and deliver to them the information and diagnosis that you have come up with. Give them a proper education on their condition, what is causing it and what can be done to treat it.
From there, you must layout their treatment plan. How many visits? How many times per week? Post-Treatment therapies. When to expect results. How to maintain their results. Etc.

This gives them an idea of where they are heading and plants the idea that YOU are the medical expert.
Then on Day 3, you can begin your treatments.

As you go through the treatments with the patients, it’s imperative to keep them informed of the progress and how things are coming along.

You should always revisit and redo a report of findings with you patients.

This information is just the tip of the iceberg. To learn more, please visit one of our Grow With Dr. Moe events.

Ducati Team arrive at MotorLand circuit for Aragon GP after three successive wins at Brno, Zeltweg and Misano.

The MotoGP World Championship is about to enter its final phase, with the last six rounds taking place in less than two months. Two events in Spain – the Aragon GP and the Valencia GP on 18 November – bookend the four overseas races in Thailand, Japan, Australia and Malaysia. This weekend therefore the track on the outskirts of Alcañiz gets ready to host the fourteenth round of the season.
The Ducati Team arrives in Spain with Andrea Dovizioso second in the standings after a triumphant win at Misano, his third victory of the season. The Romagna-born racer now lies 67 points behind the championship leader Marc Marquez with six rounds remaining. Dovizioso has taken part in all eight editions of the Aragon GP and his best result is a third place in 2012. In last year’s edition, Andrea fought amongst the leading group for half the race, but in the last few laps he was unable to defend his position and had to settle for seventh place at the flag.
Coming off the back of a crash in the San Marino GP, which deprived him of a likely second place, Jorge Lorenzo will be aiming to bring home a prestigious result on a circuit that is extremely favourable for him. The rider from Mallorca has in fact been on the podium in seven of the eight editions of the Aragon GP, with two wins to his name in 2014 and 2015, while last year Jorge finished the race in third place.
Situated close to the town of Alcañiz, the Spanish circuit joined the MotoGP calendar in 2010 and this year hosts the ninth edition of the GP. MotorLand Aragón is a modern circuit, with a challenging layout that sees the riders lap in a counter-clockwise direction and it contains two long straights and 17 corners, as well as a number of up-and-down sections.
The Aragon weekend programme gets underway on Friday morning with the first free practice session at 9.55 am, while the 23-lap race is scheduled for Sunday at 14.00 CET.
Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team #04) – 2nd (154 points)
“MotorLand Aragón is a really nice track, rather unusual and totally different from Misano where I won for the first time in MotoGP two weeks ago, but it’s also a track where we have traditionally always struggled a bit. In the test at the end of August however we lapped really well and I think that this time we can fight for the win. I expect to be quick, but Jorge and Marc also go particularly well on this track so it’s not going to be easy.”
Jorge Lorenzo (Ducati Team #99) – 4th (130 points)
“After the Misano race I managed to turn the page relatively easily: I realized where we went wrong and drew some interesting conclusions. Now we’re off to MotorLand, a circuit where I think we can capitalize on the strong points of our bike and where last year I was able to get onto the podium. The test we did three weeks ago was very positive and now we are back here well-prepared and with very clear ideas. After a crash you go back onto the track in the next race even more determined to do well and we will demonstrate that we can continue to fight until the end.”
The MotorLand Aragón Circuit
The modern MotorLand Aragón facility had its roots firmly established with a solid history of street racing in Alcañiz, which hosted events between 1963 and 2003. The need for greater safety led to the proposal and construction of a sporting complex dedicated to motorsport in the area. With support from local institutions, renowned German architect Hermann Tilke was commissioned to design the facility. The circuit, which is 5.077 km long and has 17 turns, has always been a riders’ favourite since its first Grand Prix in 2010.

English Amateur Billiards Association

Bob Sconce

Bob Sconce

Bob in cheerful mood doing the job he loved.

Bob Sconce, one of the great characters of the billiards fraternity, died peacefully in Countess of Chester hospital, Chester, after a short illness, on 17th August 2009.

A well known international professional billiards referee for many years and a founder member of the Professional Referees Association, Bob had the privilege of refereeing the very top of the world class billiards players of his generation. A stalwart member, and tireless worker, for his local billiards league on Deeside, and a man who enjoyed being part of the local team.

A perfectionist in his work, reliable, good natured, loyal to his friends, and a man of his word. Bob’s turn of phrase could often leave ones eyes watering a little bit at times, but we all understood, accepted, and respected his knowledge and his inimical way of making the point.

Bob had previously had other sporting interests in his life, weightlifting and tennis. Little is known of this episode of his life but reliable information from his friends and the many trophies left behind tell us that he was a previous Cheshire Weightlifting Champion and had represented Wales in the Commonwealth Games. He and his wife Nora played and enjoyed a fairly high standard of tennis in their early married life.

Bob kindly remembered the English Amateur Billiards Association in his will and his legacy will help to support and develop the referee’s section of the Association. We feel that Bob would have fully agreed with our decision to inject some tangible support into the referees section, and that this gesture will be very much appreciated by our members.

Bob, and his wife Nora who died several years ago, left no family, he will be sadly missed by his many friends in the billiards and snooker world but will leave many happy memories.

Worldview Image of the Week

Hotan River, China

Image captured on 17 August 2020, by the MODIS instrument, aboard NASA's Terra satellite.

Hotan River, China on 16 August 2020 (MODIS/Terra)

False-color image of the Hotan River in China. The image was acquired on 17 August 2020 by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument, aboard NASA's Terra satellite. The image is comprised of the MODIS bands 7-2-1. This band combination is useful for highlighting floods and vegetation. Liquid water on the ground appears very dark since it absorbs in the red and the SWIR. Sediments in water appear dark blue. Vegetation is very reflective in the near infrared (Band 2), and absorbent in Band 1 and Band 7. Assigning that band to green means even the smallest hint of vegetation will appear bright green in the image. Naturally bare soil, like a desert, is reflective in all bands used in this image, but more so in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) (Band 7, red) and so soils will often have a pinkish tinge. This combination is also useful for distinguishing burn scars from naturally low vegetation or bare soil.

The Hotan River is formed at the confluence of the White Jade (Yurungkash) and Karakash (Black Jade) Rivers in the middle of the Taklamakan Desert and flows northward through the desert to the Tarim River. The river flows in the summer months due to snowmelt from the mountains.

Managers spend over eighty percent of their time communicating. Why is there need for effective communication in an organization and what steps should be taken to ensure that organizational communication is improved?

Communication is the process of creating, transmitting and interpreting ideas, facts, opinions and feelings. It is a process that is essentially a sharing one, a mutual interchange between two or more persons.

The need for effective communication in an organization
Communication is an integral part of management because it is only through it that a manager can make himself understood by his employees. A manager must receive and give ideas, reports, instructions and give demonstrations.

Besides through communication, a manager keeps the organization in touch with the external environment (customers, suppliers, dealers, government etc).

Communication is therefore essential for affecting organizational performance. Effective and efficient communication results in better organizational performance.

Effective communication helps managers to:
• Establish and disseminate goals of an enterprise.
• Develop plans for their achievement.
• Organize human and non human resources.
• Select, develop and appraise staff.
• Control performance.
• Direct, lead and motivate employees.
How to improve organizational communication
It is the responsibility of every manager to keep improving the process and making it more effective.

Some ways of making communication more effective include:

• Brevity – the message should be as brief and simple as possible. A wordier message has higher chances of distortion.
• Appropriate vocabulary – the words and statements used by the sender should be those known and understood by the receiver. Technical jargon should be avoided.
• Accuracy – Irrelevant issues must be avoided.
• Completeness – the message should be such that it contains all the needed information. Nothing must be left to be guessed.
• Selectivity – managers should send out and receive only that information they require. Information overload can be confusing.
• Use of visual devices – oral communication becomes more effective if complemented with visual aids.
• Timeliness – information must be given at the time when it is required. Untimely information is as bad as no information at all.
• Empathy – the sender should try as much as possible to identify with the position and situation of the receiver.
• Effective feedback system – there should be a mechanism of sending feedback within the organization.
• Economy – the benefits of communication should justify its costs

FSA backs BAFE ‘Don’t Just Specify, Verify’ campaign

The Fire and Security Association (FSA) is backing the BAFE Fire Safety Register’s “Don’t Just Specify, Verify” campaign.

The campaign highlights the importance of appropriate UKAS-accredited third-party certification for fire safety work in buildings.

The campaign has generated substantial industry support from organisations including the FSA, the ECA, UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service), the Fire Sector Federation (FSF), and the Construction Industry Council (CIC), among others.

ECA Technical Director Mike Smith said, “ECA and the FSA support third party certification of enterprises. We believe it is important for contractors to be able to demonstrate competency in their specialist fields.”

Lewis Ramsay, Caretaker Manager and Board Member for BAFE, said, “with most buildings now returning to near pre-covid operation, it is imperative this message is repeated in the interest of life safety.

“Over the last decade, BAFE have witnessed third-party certification becoming a clear stipulation for fire safety work, but it would be far more reassuring to determine if premises management are also verifying this prior to awarding any contract and letting work commence on-site. This verification process should be recorded to demonstrate full due diligence.

“This is a very straightforward and quick exercise which can be extremely beneficial to evidencing your own quality procedures in sourcing quality contractors to fulfil specific works.”

Problem splicing sub into headphone jack

New member
Username: Bradsk88

Post Number: 1
Registered: Jan-05

Okay, the end on my subwoofer (for PC) konked out on me so I figured I'd use a headphone end. The above setup is what I used, I've also tried using just the left side and just the right side of the heaphone end. It works okay, though it seems that there is considerable power loss (at the sub) and after a while the sub will start to make a "whoomp whoomp whoomp" sound and I will have to unplug it?

Any ideas? I tried searching but couldn't find it.

UPDATE (11/8/2019): We have clarified that the NordVPN user credentials impacted were not in result of this breach.

The popular VPN provider, NordVPN, recently announced a server breach at a third-party data center. NordVPN reassured users that its key services were not impacted by this breach in particular, however, NordVPN users credentials were used with credential stuffing attacks. NordVPN stresses that there is no indication the breach and the credential stuffing attacks are related. Concerned users can check to see if their credentials were leaked from previous breaches at haveibeenpwned.com.

News of the breach has inspired questions around which tool is best for safety and security online. With commercial VPNs now saturating the market and many people being more concerned with their privacy, it’s important for users to know how VPNs work, and what their limitations are. VPNs can be useful in a user’s safety toolset, but there are some fundamental capabilities that are critical to understand: what VPNs do, what VPNs don’t do, and how a VPN service can better protect their users.

What VPNs Are

A virtual private network (or VPN) is a method for connecting your computer securely to the network of an organization on the other side of the Internet. When you connect to a VPN, all of your web browsing data appears to originate from the VPN itself, rather than your own Internet Service Provider (or ISP). Sensitive information could include submissions from contact forms or credit card information.

Using a VPN masks the IP address assigned by your ISP from the sites that you access, adding a layer of privacy. Along with masking your origin IP address, it also encrypts your data while in transit to the site you are accessing.

Diagram of how VPNs impact network traffic

This diagram shows a user's computer on the left, and the server of the intended service (example.com) on the far right. HTTPS initially encrypts the user to the page visited. While the user's information travels from their computer, the VPN is hiding information such as metadata and page level information from the user's router and ISP.

What VPNs Can Do

If you are accessing sites on a public wifi network, such as a cafe, a VPN can help to protect your data from observers connected to that network.

It can also help circumvent Internet censorship on a network that blocks certain sites or services, such as when you are working from a school’s Internet connection or in a country that blocks certain kinds of content.

Before they came into higher commercial demand, VPNs were and still are used by corporations, so that their employees can access corporate-specific sites and services within their intranet.

What VPNs Can’t Do

Since commercial VPNs often have servers in different countries, their logs may be subject to law enforcement requests. In these cases, VPNs cannot fully prevent surveillance or access from law enforcement, nor can they completely anonymize your identity. Even though your browsing data is encrypted, it doesn’t mean that a VPN entirely shields who you are. You could still be subject to different kinds of tracking such as browser fingerprinting.

It’s also important to note that VPNs and any other data-in-transit encryption methods such as usage of HTTPS:// sites do not ensure the integrity of the site you are visiting. VPNs cannot protect you from malicious attacks to a site’s servers or their compromised networks.

What VPN Services Should Do

It can be difficult to choose which VPN service best suits your needs, and there are a plethora available now that make compelling promises about their effectiveness. However, the VPN industry must not make the same missteps the antivirus industry has made over the years. Choosing a VPN still means trusting another party with one’s information and trusting them to not only encrypt information, but be transparent as possible about their service.

  • DON'T: Make unrealistic security guarantees in advertisements to get more subscribers. When these promises don’t pan out, this will create apathetic users who will ultimately avoid and mistrust important services. Making statements like “bank grade encryption” or “military grade encryption” does a disservice to educating the general public on the capabilities and accessibility of strong encryption. Referencing cipher strength, or the algorithm for performing encryption or decryption, doesn’t necessarily mean strong infrastructure or detail to user privacy. Strong ciphers are accessible to if not all, most major VPN services.
  • DON’T: Delay or neglect to disclose breaches. This means full and swift disclosure once an incident has occurred and has been analyzed, regardless if information was accessed or not.
  • DO: Have transparent policies on usage and storage of user logs. This will help foster a more informed user base on how much of their information they are agreeing and trusting you to store.
  • DO: Explicitly map and audit servers to outline what jurisdictions these services fall under. Providing this data allows users to make informed decisions about their level of risk in potential issues of law enforcement across varying jurisdictions.

Commercial VPNs can be useful, especially on mobile devices where traffic can be unencrypted without any obvious indication or notification to the user. On desktop browsers, it can be argued that enforced HTTPS is enough, but many users cannot verify that HTTPS is being used in their mobile device’s application traffic. This is the gap that these services can step into and fill, but this is a responsibility they must take seriously.

Public Interest Groups Help Protect Anonymity of Accused Infringers

Pennsylvania - A district court in eastern Pennsylvania has issued an order that will force the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to better respect the privacy and due process rights of people it has accused of copyright infringement. After RIAA members asked the court to issue subpoenas to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for the names and addresses of people they suspect of infringement, the court issued an order that the ISPs must first send their customers detailed notices about the subpoenas, including information about how the accused suspects can contest the subpoenas.

The controversy arose after the music industry filed a flood of lawsuits against anonymous individuals whom the industry claimed were sharing copyrighted music. Because the industry did not know the identities of the individuals, it served subpoenas to the individuals' ISPs seeking their names. The court held that before the ISPs turn over these names, they must send notices to the individuals advising them of their rights. This allows a targeted individual to make an intelligent decision about what steps to take before his or her identity is disclosed.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Public Citizen, the national American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the ACLU's Pennsylvania affiliate participated in the case as friends of the court. The organizations have been heavily involved in protecting the right to anonymous speech and ensuring that people sued for copyright violations are made aware of their rights.

"The constitutional right of individuals to anonymous speech is just as important on the Internet as it was when the Federalist Papers were published," said Chris Hansen, an attorney for the ACLU. "The court has properly found that before someone's identity is disclosed, that person should at least have a right to be heard and to raise certain defenses."

"Judge Rufe has required the recording industry to meet the same standards of proof that are required when other plaintiffs seek to identify anonymous Internet users," said Public Citizen attorney Paul Levy. "We can only hope that judges throughout the country will follow this example."

EFF legal director Cindy Cohn added, "Receiving notice from your ISP that you are being sued by the record companies is a terrifying experience for the grandmas, students, and working mothers who have been caught up in the RIAA's lawsuit crusade. By requiring ISPs to include basic information such as the right to challenge lawsuits and where to go for help, the court took a big step toward helping people understand their options."

“Kalibr” cruise missiles in Black Sea killed at least 20 people in attack on Vinnytsia, Ukraine says

At least 20 people have now died in the attack on the central Ukrainian town of Vinnystia, according to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the office of the President of Ukraine.

The attack was carried out with Russian “Kalibr” cruise missiles that are launched from submarines stationed in the Black Sea, Tymoshenko added.

“The enemy continues to keep ready 32 cruise missiles of the ‘Kalibr’ type on three surface and two submarine ships, and two big landing ships are also present” in the Black Sea, the Operational Command South of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had said on Monday.

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s foreign minister, described the missile attack as “terrorism.”

“Already 20 civilians have been confirmed dead following a Russian missile strike on Vinnytsia. Three children, including a toddler, in the photo. This is terrorism,” Kuleba tweeted.

“Deliberate murder of civilians to spread fear. Russia is a terrorist state and must be legally recognized as such,” he added.

Russia takes it all in 2012; World Team Champion

Russia takes it all in 2012; World Team Champion

Russia is the new World Team Champion. What a year for Russia after taking five Olympic medals and three Olympic titles at the Olympic Games and now in Salvador de Bahia (BRA) the team of coach Vitaly Makarov won the world title for the first time in history.
In the final Russia met with the team of Japan.
The first fight of the final of the day opposed Ebinuma (JPN) and Pulyaev (RUS) in the men’s -66kg. The world Champion from Japan threw Pulyaev for ippon in the first match.
The second fight opposed Awano (JPN) and Kaytmazov (RUS) U73kg. A small yuko for Awano, and a second point for Japan.

The third fight of the final of the men’s competition, saw Nagashima (JPN) and Khabachirov (RUS). At the end of a very tactical fight, the decision was made by 2 penalties against the Japanese, and one against the Russian. The fourth match of the final opposed Masashi Nishiyama (JPN) and Magomed Magomedov (RUS). Dominated by the high gripping of the Russian and totally exhausted Nishiyama was rapidly penalized with a first shido, followed by a second one, a few seconds later for the same reason.

Triple world Champion and Olympic silver medalist, Mikhaylin (RUS) fought against Shichinohe (JPN). After three minutes, four penalties were already distributed (2 for Shichinohe and 2 for Mikhaylin). But Mikhaylin found the necessary energy to score a yuko just on the edge of the tatami. Totally exhausted, the Russian literally finished on his knees, but victorious, offering the ultimate tittle to Russia. After the three Olympic titles won in London, this team victory sounds like the domination of Russia over the judo planet.

Bronze Medals Fights: Bronze for Brazil and Georgia
The first bronze medal fight opposed, Georgia and South Korea
European Champion Varlam Liparteliani finished the bout after the fourth fight of the team match against Kwak (KOR). After two editions without medals, the 2006 and 2008 World Champion Georgia now claimed the bronze medal.
The second bronze medal match was particularly awaited as it sounded like the final of last year’s championship in Paris, when France won the title. A perfume of revenge was flying in the air of the packed arena and the temperature dramatically raised. Revite (BRA) won the first match against Dragin (FRA). In the second Allardon (FRA) ruined the hopes of the public for an immediate second point for Brazil with an excellent point. In men’s -81kg, it was the turn of Penalber (BRA) and Pietri (FRA) to enter the mat. In the golden score Pietri gave the second point to France. Ludovic Gobert led comfortably in his match against Silva (BRA). He only needed to keep the lead in the last 30 seconds. But Silva continued and scored with a counter attack in the last second, giving Brazil the opportunity again for a medal. What an incredible scenario! Rafael Silva won his last match after hansokumake against Matthieu Thorel and gave the bronze medal to Brazil. The revenge was sweet but narrow.

Final Ranking
1. Russia
2. Japan
3. Georgia
3. Brazil
5. Rep. of South Korea
5. France
7. Cuba
7. Algeria

I’m 17 and I want a baby!

My boyfriend and I would make great parents, says a letter writer.

Steady on, counsels our elder. Be careful what you wish for…

Dear EWC

I just turned 17. I’ve been with my boyfriend for a little over a year. We have been intimate. And a lot of people I know are pregnant and having babies. And I know I’m still young but I can’t help but want to start a family with him. I really love him and I think we would make great parents. I really want to get pregnant but I don’t know how he feels or if he has even thought about it!!!

PicklesMarie replies

You’re 17 years old and longing to start a family. Longing to start a family… and take on responsibility 24/7 for an infant, then toddler, then child.

Be careful what you wish for! If this wish comes true the rest of your life may be changed. You may be come ‘barefoot and pregnant’ with no money for shoes or anything else and with the high responsibility for a child. Is this what you really want until you’re about 30?

Peers are getting pregnant and having babies. Observe. Pregnancy can be a healthy state, but it costs for doctor’s supervision. Raising an infant can be relatively easy because they don’t crawl or walk. However, about eight or nine months after that baby is born it starts to become mobile… and a mother’s real work begins. Often, in my experience, about this time helpful relatives drop back; they are not as willing to help with a troublesome crawler/toddler. You can’t be on your phone much because these little movers don’t know about dangers and require constant supervision. As a bonus, as babies get older they sleep less.

As you observe, see what happens with these peers. Do they disappear out of your friend groups as baby becomes more difficult to handle? Do they drop out of school? Do they start living in poverty? It is not fair to expect that your parents will take care for your child. Being a grandparent can be fun; being a nearly full time caregiver is no fun… it can be sacrifice and work. Your parents may be ready to be done with sacrifice and work.

You may have the love, willingness to sacrifice friends and adventures, and extreme patience it takes to mother, but do you two have the money? A baby is expensive. No kidding! One expert estimated a baby costs about $16,000 a year and you (or you two) will be responsible for nearly 18 years.

You may love the guy, but he doesn’t even know you want a baby! He may blame you if you should become pregnant on purpose. It is called entrapment.

Most 17-year-old guys have a lot more to do before they are ready to support a family and father. Most 17-year-old girls have a lot to do, too, before they are ready to raise a child. You two aren’t mature. Your brain is one of the last parts to mature. Your brain will become capable of making rational decisions, seeing consequences, reading others expressions accurately, and so forth when you are about 25 years old. (This is no typo; check it out.)

Having a baby on a whim now would impact your life… for life. I believe it would be a mistake… a huge one. Reconsider.

Having a baby would impact the child’s life. He/she would have a parent who might not be equipped to parent. This could cheat your child of the guidance and help they need to make it successfully through life. This could mean your child becomes a bane upon society instead of a boon. I, myself, have observed many youngsters who caused pain to those around them… because they were poorly raised by their parents. Parenting is a huge responsibility!

So think ahead… about 15 years ahead. Do you really want a child you are responsible for raising into a viable adult? People will criticize you if your parenting is poor. If I were you, I’d wait. I’d do what you need to do at this juncture. Finish high school and get your diploma. Get training for an adult job. Get that adult job. Save some money. Then consider marrying and having a child.

I hope my ideas help. Please consider them. You have to make your own decision. You will be responsible for this decision. And since you’re the mother you will be more responsible than the father for raising the child. He may shirk his fatherly duties after a time… leaving you to be a single parent.

The 10 Most Common Jobs in the Best Romantic Comedies

couple sitting in cinema smiling

The trope of rom-com jobs will either be subtle or obvious to the average watcher. Either they’ll groan at another high-strung female lead addicted to her work falling for a slacker free-spirit type, or they won’t have noticed the trope of romantic comedy jobs at all.

It’s easy to miss, rom-coms can seem very paint-by-numbers but actually, we discovered that amongst the top rom-com job tropes there are actually some surprising professions. So, are you in one of the top rom-com careers? Are you unwittingly about to embark on your own rom-com adventure at the next office party? Find out below.

What we did

At our own discretion, we picked the most globally iconic rom-coms (excluding ensemble casts, sorry Love Actually) and looked at the jobs of the lead characters. We pulled data from the year the film was released and its box office earnings. From this we simplified the positions of the lead characters i.e. Julie Roberts as Maggie Carpenter in Runaway Bride (1999) works in her dad’s hardware store, so we simplified it to ‘Retail’. We then grouped these careers and ranked them according to their repetition.

The Results

It seems the reason journalists might be so busy is that they’re constantly having fantastical romantic comedy hijinks in their spare time!

Journalist nabbed the top spot for both men and women. Which is not surprising when you think of all the iconic romantic comedies with press junkies or columnists in their starring roles. We wondered if this trend was just typical of the 90’s but not only has this trope got roots in classic rom-coms like His Girl Friday (1940) but is still be utilised in the 00’s with The Proposal (2009).

Lead Male Journalist Roles

His Girl Friday (1940), When Harry Met Sally (1989), One Fine Day (1996), Runaway Bride (1999), 27 Dresses (2001).

Lead Female Journalist Roles

His Girl Friday (1940), When Harry Met Sally (1989), Sleepless in Seattle (1993), My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997), Never Been Kissed (1999), How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003), 13 Going on 30 (2004), Hitch (2005), Sex and the City (2008), The Proposal (2009).

The results also showed us that men tend to have a lot more variety in rom-coms than women. With only five votes Journalist topped the male lead chart, but women dominated with nine films portraying the female lead as some sort of reporter/writer.

A close second for men was the role of Architect with four top rom-coms (Just Like Heaven, Sleepless in Seattle, 500 Days of Summer, It’s Complicated). An architect is an interesting choice since it’s such a specialized position that requires so much training. However, it’s a good movie choice because, honestly, who knows what architects get up to on a daily basis other than the fact that they’re cultured and wealthy? This is perfect for a male rom-com lead – uncomplicated and swoon-worthy.

In second place for the lead female role is PA, not the most exciting career choice for a protagonist you’d think but somehow it’s very popular in movies. 27 Dresses, 500 Days of Summer, America’s Sweethearts and Music & Lyrics all had their leading ladies essentially doing admin for the majority of the film.

You can check out all the 50 best romantic comedy jobs here.

Do Sexist Career Stereotypes Exist in Romantic Comedies?

In the past few years, the gender pay gap has been a big debate in most countries. Stereotypes about women more prone to working part-time hours, doing low skilled jobs or taking caregiving roles have been debunked or shown as a wider sociological problem due to a lack of representation in the media. Is this also reflected in the best romantic comedies from the past few decades?

Do big box office films perpetuate any myths around typical male and female stereotypes? We categorized the job roles of our leading men and ladies for our top 50 romantic comedies into ‘High Flyers’ and ‘Average Joes’ to find out.

Our criteria couldn’t just look at just our simplified job roles, it had to take the context of the film into account i.e. In You’ve Got Mail both Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are bookstore owners, the difference is Meg Ryan owns a small independent shop and Tom Hanks is an owner of a bookstore chain. He’s a High Flyer, and she’d be classed as an Average Joe.

Female High Flyers and Average Joes

It’s a close call, but it seems that unfortunately, Hollywood is less likely to portray a woman as having a high flying career compared to their male counterparts.

Looking at our data it seems that women tend to be either very superficially successful or their career is a total afterthought. Our High Flyers include an Orthopedic Surgeon (There’s Something About Mary) Fashion Designer (Sweet Home Alabama) and, of course, a hotshot writer (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). These roles tend to be Type A high-strung and dedicated career women, who learn to loosen up with the help of their leading man.

Alternatively, the film is a more ‘rags to riches’ story with the female lead having an administrative or custodial type role. They appear as a PA (500 Days of Summer), Waitress (As Good as it Gets) or, oddly, a baker is quite common (Bridesmaids, It’s Complicated). This is typically juxtaposed with the male lead having a very important job i.e. Maid in Manhattan.

Male High Flyers and Average Joes

Looking at the male professions there’s an interesting mixed bag of professions. As we mentioned earlier, men in rom-coms tend to get more of a diverse career range as compared to women. They tend to be more kooky and odd, like The Wedding Singer (Wedding Singer), Groundhog Day (Weatherman) or Sweet Home Alabama (Glassblower, seriously?)

Interestingly, while men tend to get more High Flyer roles in rom-coms, they are also more likely to be unemployed as well. In Knocked Up and Failure to Launch both the lead roles are unemployed and while this is a sizeable plot point in both films, not one woman in 50 movies are portrayed as out of work. There are also two films where we could not find the woman’s occupation anywhere – Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Wedding Date have wealthy women with no job mentioned anywhere.

Are Romantic Comedies still Big Box Office Draws?

Romantic comedies were at their peak in the 90’s – early 00’s with 65% of the 50 iconic movies we looked at taking pace in a 15-year period. We wanted to see what effect release year had on box office earnings. Did rom-coms become more popular in the 90s? Are they getting less successful?

The graph above shows us that rom-coms are still big earners for studios. While we see that there are ups and downs, the downs tend to be for more ‘independent’ or non-US based movies i.e. Knocked Up, Bridesmaids and Four Weddings and a Funeral.

What it does seem to show is that a movie needs an established Hollywood name attached for it to break through the 350 million ceiling i.e. Julia Roberts, Will Smith, Mel Gibson, Sarah Jessica Parker etc.

Attorney, English, Lucas, Priest and Owsley, LLP

Product liability lawsuits proceed under the theory that manufacturers and sellers should be held accountable for injuries resulting from defects that make a product unreasonably unsafe. As with other lawsuits, a trial court must have jurisdiction (both personal and subject matter) over a defendant before it can proceed to adjudicate the issues between the parties.

Sometimes, a defendant may argue that, although the court technically has jurisdiction over the case, the court should decline to exercise that jurisdiction because justice would be better served in another forum.

In the recent case of Pantuso v. Wright Medical Technology, Inc., a Utah man filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Shelby County, Tennessee, seeking to recover damages resulting from an allegedly defective hip replacement device. Although the defendant manufacturer admitted that its principal place of business was Tennessee, it filed a motion to dismiss the man’s complaint on the doctrine of forum non conveniens.

Allegations in the Complaint

The man’s medical product injury lawsuit alleged that the defendant manufacturer had designed, manufactured, and marketed a certain “Profemur” hip replacement system and that his doctor had implanted such a device into both his hips in 2007. The surgery took place in Utah.

The man stated that his left hip replacement device failed in 2013, and it was removed and replaced with a device from a different company. Although the man retained the device that was implanted on his right side, he said that the risk of its possible failure prevented him from enjoying the level of activity that he should have been able to enjoy based on the product’s marketing.

Proceeding in the Trial Court

The manufacturer filed a motion to dismiss the man’s complaint, arguing that the trial court should decline jurisdiction over the case under the doctrine of forum non conveniens. As grounds, the manufacturer argued that Utah was the appropriate forum because that’s where the man lived and where all of his medical treatment occurred. The manufacturer argued that it would not have access to third-party witnesses or documents in Utah because such would be beyond the subpoena range of the Tennessee court, and also it would be a burden on the Tennessee court to apply the law of Utah to the case.

The trial court denied the manufacturer’s motion, and the manufacturer appealed.

The Decision of the Tennessee Court of Appeals

After weighing the factors at issue, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s denial of the manufacturer’s motion to dismiss and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings. The court was not persuaded by the manufacturer’s argument that requiring it to litigate in its home state would cause it considerable expense and inconvenience, nor did the court accept the manufacturer’s argument that the Tennessee court would be overburdened by the litigation at hand.

Abraham a Sancta Clara°

views updated

ABRAHAM A SANCTA CLARA ° (c. 1644–1709), Augustinian friar and anti-Jewish propagandist; court preacher in Vienna from 1677. His numerous sermons and tracts violently attacked the Jews along the traditional lines of popular anti-Jewish hatemongering. He charged the Jews with causing the plague by witchcraft, denounced them along with the devil as Christianity's worst enemy, and gave currency to the *host desecration libel. The coarse language and style of his sermons and tracts influenced the Viennese brand of *antisemitism (and its disseminators such as S. *Brunner, J. *Deckert, and K. *Lueger) and of *National Socialism.

Community and Identities

The notion of community is being invoked not only by social scientists engaged in understanding Indian social and political processes, but also by parties on the right and the left in their mobilisation and in the official discourses on development law and common civil code. But in most of these discourses, the internal structure of the supposed communities invariably gets elided in favour of a notion of moral bonds and cultural authenticity.

Tips To Buy The Best Designer Handbags

It may seem stereotypical to say that women love shopping, but it is true. Women shop because they enjoy the process. Women shop much more than men. Women love to hunt for bargains and are excited when they return home with a bag filled with discounted fashion.

This is especially true when buying designer handbags, particularly brands such as Louis Vuitton and MCM bags. They can have fun with their past-time when they can 'bag' these brands at bargain rates without feeling guilty or judged. You can also buy affordable designer handbags online.

No matter how many designer bags a woman has, there is always more to buy. Fortunately, particularly for online shoppers, finding discount authentic designer handbags isn't very hard. It's not just the online shopper who wins. It's now easier to buy designer brands because of the frequent sales offered by online stores.

 For the smart shopper, the key is to know where and when to shop for the best deals. Many websites offer designer handbags at a fraction of the cost. Vintage and second-hand shops are great places to get bargains.

It's clear that shopping is more fun when you can save money. If designer bags are too costly, there are many places where savvy shoppers can find replica bags. These do not necessarily fake but merchandise that is identical to expensive models. Quality may be more affordable than ever if the brand is not your main focus. Many handbags that aren't branded have high-quality leather and expert stitching.

ESGR in the News

ANNVILLE, Pa. – Pennsylvania Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense program, announced today that SUEZ North America was honored with a Seven Seals Award in recognition of extraordinary support of its employees serving in the Pennsylvania Guard and Reserve.

According to Marty Kuhar ESGR Pennsylvania State Chair, “The Seven Seals Award is the broadest and most inclusive award given by ESGR and is presented at the discretion of the State Chair or by ESGR senior leadership. The award is presented in recognition of significant individual or organizational achievement, initiative, or support that promotes and supports the ESGR mission.”

Staff Sgt. Shawn Wiley of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard nominated SUEZ North America for the award.

SUEZ Vice President and General Manager John Hollenbach along with Assistant Operations Manager Scot Christiansen accepted the Seven Seals Award during the annual Pennsylvania ESGR Employer Awards Luncheon.  Upon receiving the award, Hollenbach said in part: “Team members like Shawn Wiley allow SUEZ to be innovative and problem solving. As a leader of the Mid-Atlantic Water Quality team, Wiley is an expert in his field, acting as a liaison with regulators to ensure SUEZ provides the safest drinking water to customers. He is one of many managers and supervisors who value their employees, and it shows. Our team spirit starts from the top by keeping employees informed, putting individual safety and emotional needs first, and giving support when needed. It is an honor to have members on our team who served our country and are now serving the communities in which they live. SUEZ is thankful to be acknowledged as a top 50 [Pennsylvania] patriotic employer.”

ESGR, a Department of Defense program, seeks to foster a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States. ESGR facilitates and promotes a cooperative culture of employer support for National Guard and Reserve service by developing and advocating mutually beneficial initiatives, recognizing outstanding employer support, increasing awareness of applicable laws and policies, resolving potential conflicts between employers and their service members, and acting as the employers’ principal advocate within DoD. Paramount to ESGR's mission is encouraging employment of Guardsmen and Reservists who bring integrity, global perspective and proven leadership to the civilian workforce.

5 ETFs To Watch if Trump Hits Europe with Car Tariffs

With negotiations with China underway to settle their trade differences, U.S. President Donald Trump is turning his attention to Europe as he’s threatening to impose car tariffs on the EU–notably Germany, Austria, the U.K. and Italy. The EU, in turn, would counteract with tariffs on companies like Caterpillar (CAT), which could affect various ETFs with holdings of the construction equipment manufacturer.

Last month, the EU said it would impose $22.7 billion of tariffs on U.S. products if Trump  follows through on imposing duties on European automotive goods the same way he imposed tariffs on tax foreign steel and aluminum last year. The EU retaliated with levies on U.S. products like motorcycles, jeans and bourbon whiskey.

5 ETFs To Watch if Trump Hits Europe with Car Tariffs 1

“Should there be tariffs on car and car parts, which we don’t want, we have started internally to prepare a list of re-balancing measures,” EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom told reporters on Friday in Bucharest after a meeting of the bloc’s commerce ministers. “There is full support to do this.”

Just last month, Caterpillar revealed one of its worst quarterly earnings in years, falling below Wall Street forecasts. The company said sales in its Asia/Pacific unit were 4% lower year-over-year “due to lower demand in China,” CNN reports.

According to Bespoke Investment Group, it was Caterpillar’s worst earnings miss in 10 years. Furthermore, CAT warned that its earnings outlook for 2019 could be lower than Wall Street forecasts.

ETF investors and traders should be wary of EU tariffs on Caterpillar that could also affect the funds with the heaviest weightings of CAT.

For investors looking for continued upside in U.S. equities over international equities, the Direxion FTSE Russell US Over International ETF (NYSEArca: RWUI) offers them the ability to benefit not only from domestic U.S. markets potentially performing well, but from their outperformance compared to international markets.

Conversely, if investors believe that international markets will outperform U.S. domestic markets, the Direxion FTSE International Over US ETF (NYSEArca: RWIU) provides a means to not only see international markets perform well, but a way to capitalize on their outperformance compared to the U.S. markets.
