There will likely be a quite different atmosphere to recent weeks at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

It was rather vitriolic in the recent defeat to Burnley, a defeat that left Albion in the Championship, but for mathematics.

The maligned pairing of Alan Pardew and John Carver are at the club no more, though; the pair departed on Easter Monday, and fan favourite Darren Moore was given the task of leading the club into the remainder of the club’s rather disastrous campaign.

Big Dave has spoken of how he plans to inject some pride back into the club, the fanbase and the squad, referring passionately to the Baggies as a ‘family’,

Gareth Barry is out injured, while Moore will also provide updates on Nacer Chadli and Daniel Sturridge.

Gregg Evans is at the Palm Training Ground and is providing live updates, so stay tuned!

All go down together

Asked if Albion will now go down fighting under his leadership, Moore said:

“Absolutely. That’s the way.

“Any sports person, it’s in my blood to want to do well and want to win.

“That’s no different. There’s ways you can do it.

“We’ve got six games remaining and we want to re-adress the run of defeats we’re on. We really do.

“You can’t overstep the Swansea game because that’s what is in front of you.

“Let’s put all our commitment into that and see where it takes us.”

Moore is in charge of the Baggies until the end of the season.

Albion will then look to recruit a new manager, unless he achieves the unthinkable and keeps the Baggies up.

He deserves more than a full-time contract as boss if he does that, though!

This is what he said about his time as manager:

When I stepped in it was the remaining six games.

I’ll just continue working with the boys as first team coach.

It’s nice to step into this role.

The players have been excellent as they always are.

The staff have been superb. We’re looking forward to the game.

That’s it from Big Dave who is now breaking off for some individual interviews.

There will be plenty more updates in the next hour, so stick around and I’ll update you further.

In terms of team selection for tomorrow, the stand-in boss has decided who he wants to play already but won’t reveal the starting line-up.

Nothing new there.

Elsewhere, Moore wants supporters to turn up and support the team, not him, tomorrow against Swansea.

He used the word ‘togetherness’ on a number of occasions.

And by the sound of things, there has been an improvement in training this week.

Whether that transfers out onto the pitch is another matter,

Message to supporters

Hopefully nice (when asked what reception he expects to get)

But I don’t speak about myself.

I want the atmosphere to be good for everyone connected with West Bromwich Albion.

I’ve used the word ‘family’ and ‘unity’

We need that togetherness.

Come tomorrow and support the club.

How has it felt this season?

It’s been hurtful, yes.

When you’re on a bad run, the only way you can end it is by facing the next one.

I get the (frustration) of the supporters.

They know that I will work hard for the football club and meet this challenge head on.

Moore for future manager?

There’s a lot of hurdles before any of that.

Time will take care of the rest.

Let’s just take of the Swansea game.

Is relegation inevitable?

Mathematically it’s still possible (staying up)

Whether people outside say it isn’t, all we’re looking at is the Swansea game.

We just have to look at the next game. That’s all we’re focusing on.

Injury news

Injury wise, obviously Chads (Nacer Chadli) is back in and around the squad now.

As we know he’s a fantastic player.

Daniel’s (Sturridge) been back in and around - he’s not quite there yet - but he’s making good progress.

Them two have been good for us and great to see them rubbing shoulders with the boys again.

They’re excellent players and hopefully next week we’ll look a lot healthier.

Thoughts on the game

All the games are big.

We can only look at this game against Swansea.

No matter who it was against, it would have been big

We look forward to the game.

How does it feel being the boss?

“It feels really good, the players have been superb.

“They’ve done everything we’ve asked of them.

Press conference is underway

Moore is now in the building and the press conference is about to get underway.

The man himself

SIXTEEN YEARS ago this month, Big Dave netted what was ultimately the winning goal against Palace in front of a raucous Smethwick End to send Albion to the Premier League.

The club has changed a hell of a lot since then.

Why Big Dave?

Well, if you didn’t already know, this is why Darren Moore is known as Big Dave.

It just doesn’t feel normal calling him Darren!

Why Big Dave?

Assembled media

A small-to-medium turnout from the press today at the Palm Training Ground.

A number of assembled radio presenters are currently interviewing Moore.

Up next will be the broadcast section before the newspaper reporters, including myself, get to pitch questions to the stand-in boss.

Interesting to listen to Moore’s thoughts on what’s gone wrong this season and what lies in store for the future.

The hot topic of conversation

Darren Moore says “we’ll have to wait and see.”

It’s highly anticipated stuff - how do you see Big Dave kitted out on the touch-line tomorrow?

Random fact

When Darren Moore takes charge of Albion tomorrow against Swansea for the first time he will make history.

The caretaker boss will be the first ever Jamaican to manage in the Premier League.

He will feel immensely proud as a man who remains loyal to his roots.

Love for Moore

A World Cup winner, no less

Decorated football manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has hinted that he might have had an offer to manage West Bromwich Albion next season.

The 69-year-old has recently left Chinese Super League outfit Guangzhou Evergrande, and also famously coached Brazil, Portugal and Chelsea in a managerial career spanning 35 years.

Albion, on the look out for a new manager after Alan Pardew and assistant coach John Carver left the club on Easter Monday, have been linked with many names already in the week following.

With the Baggies on the brink of relegation to the Championship, you’d think that would cast doubt over such links - but Scolari himself said he wouldn’t be against managing in England’s second tier.

Full story: What Scolari said about the ‘offer’

Is that that?

Gareth Barry will miss the rest of West Brom’s doomed Premier League campaign after it was revealed he’ll undergo surgery on his knee.

The veteran midfielder hasn’t played since the defeat at home to Huddersfield Town back in February and it remains to be seen whether he’ll pull an Albion shirt on again.

Barry, 37, has triggered an optional one-year extension of his contract at The Hawthorns having made 25 appearances, though it’s not understood to be an obligation to take it up.

Full story here.

Lawro predicts

Pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that the Baggies will actually win (!!) this weekend.

The former Liverpool defender, who now works for the BBC, thinks there’ll be a response to the change in management, even if it is in vain.

“Alan Pardew’s exit means West Brom have gone through two managers, a chairman and a chief executive this season. It will not be long until they are officially relegated too,” he says.

“It is a sad state of affairs and it just shows you that if you don’t get things right off the pitch, then this is what will happen.

“Like I say, I do not see the Baggies staying up now but, with Darren Moore in charge, I think they will go and win this game. The fans will be behind him, that is for sure, and there should be a reaction from the players too.”

Prediction: 2-1

Good afternoon...

From the Albion (Palm) Training Ground!

We’re hearing from Darren Moore for the first time as Albion caretaker manager today - Big Dave will be previewing the clash with Swansea.

Stay tuned for the latest team news, Moore’s thoughts on the departure of Alan Pardew and how this week’s training has gone.

Thanks with Kate

Its Kate here today and I have four super simple cards to share.
I wanted to show a couple of things firstly that you don't need lots of supplies to make cards and secondly that festive stamp sets can be used for more than the occasion they were intended for.
The stamp set I have used is In Bloom: Hollie's Festive Florals.
With the wreaths it seems like its more a Christmas stamp set but by something as simple as changing the colours you get a completely different feel.

In Bloom: Hollie's Festive Florals

I kept the design of all the cards pretty much the same.
Staring by masking a circle in the centre of the card blank.
I then stamped in green pink and yellow so that its more like spring than winter.
The sentiment from The Big, the Bold and You is simply stamped in black ink directly over the stamping.

For this card I went to town with all the stamping.
Choosing a pretty pastel colour way I love how it looks.
I think the random stamping and soft colours give it a folk art look.

This time i changed it up a bit and used my favourite stamp from the set, the circle of dots.
I LOVE this stamp. Its perfect for creating a bokeh effect.
With my circle mask in place I stamped the first and second generation of each colour till I was happy with how much colour and pattern there was.

And finally I hardly stamped at all on this but wanted another rainbow card makes me happy :)
I have used the Scenery: Multifaceted Creative Screenings with a whole load of distress inks.
The stencil wasn't quite big enough for my card so I did half then attempted to line it up.
Its a little off but I think it works.

And as all four cards are one layer they are perfect for posting.
Thanks so much for looking.

  1. Kate!!! SO awesome! I love how your mind works to turn this holiday set into one that is virtually season-less ... and that stamping? Fantastic!

  2. Wow.. All of these cards are SO pretty! Thank you for sharing. 💖💖💖

  3. Beautiful cards! So pretty with the bright colors and only a sentiment. Thanks for the inspiration.

  4. Great cards! Each one is as pretty as the next one. TFS

  5. These are all beautiful Kate! A great job!

  6. I think your cards are wonderful, Kate. The first two are especially appealing to my eye. After studying the stamp set you used, and then studying your card, I'd say you were boarding on "genius".

  7. Cool cards! Will have to get this stamp set- so versatile!

  8. FABULOUS cards Kate!!!
    THANK YOU for the INSPIRATION, it is AWESOME getting ideas to stretch my stash :)

Managing a Disaster: Alaska Earthquake 2018

Blood Bank of Alaska is an essential facility and part of the emergency response system for the State of Alaska.  Our team of trained professionals routinely drill and train to ensure that we are able to respond quickly to hospital needs and navigate unexpected situations.  On November 30, 2018 those many hours of training were put to the test.  At 8:29 a.m. a 7.0 earthquake struck Southcentral Alaska just north of Anchorage, our doors had just opened to the first donors of the day.

When the shaking stopped, BBA’s trained team immediately initiated emergency response protocols. The first priority was to ensure the safety of blood donors and staff onsite. Though the center was briefly evacuated due to fire alarms, staff were soon able to reenter the building.  Hospitals were immediately contacted for blood need assessment as well as for the purpose of establishing positive communication. The Alaska State Emergency Response Center was contacted and provided with a situation report.

Collections were halted at once, as local officials requested all residents shelter in place to minimize injuries, and BBA notified donors via phone, email, social media and text to ensure their safety. While BBA ceased collecting blood, blood donors still arrived at our centers wanting to help others and make a donation.  This overwhelming commitment of our blood donors to help others demonstrates the heart of Alaskans.  All non-essential staff were released so they could connect with loved ones and check on their personal property.

The initial earthquake ended, but the event was far from over.  Our team across three cities felt multiple aftershocks while in recovery mode – some significant- this continued throughout the day. Staff began to do an in-depth assessment of damage to blood bank infrastructure and supplies.  This was performed location by location. During this time the administrative offices began to flood due to a sprinkler head and faulty drain. In the laboratory and manufacturing areas, staff had to quickly move and tent equipment to protect it from water and dust. Structural engineers had to be brought in to inspect buildings and verify they were safe. Through all of this, our dedicated staff remained in contact with our 21 partner hospitals to address their ongoing needs.

In the early hours following the quake it was unknown the extent of human injury throughout the community.  As the sole blood bank located in Alaska our staff coordinated with two centers in the Lower 48 to import additional units, as a precaution.  Thankfully, injuries were minimal and our existing inventory proved sufficient to supply hospitals across the state, including military and Alaska Native facilities in our rural communities.

Twenty four hours later, with the Anchorage center still not cleared for donors to enter, our team resumed collections by utilizing our mobile coaches and the Fairbanks center. Within 48 hours of the original event, all centers were fully operational.  While hundreds of Alaskans were still cleaning up their own homes due to damage from the earthquake our centers in Anchorage and Fairbanks were full of blood donors wanting to help those in need.

Alaskans are known for our independent spirit, yet we also share a strong sense of community, especially in times of crisis. We know that we have to work together when disaster strikes. Many when they think of Alaska, like to think that Alaska is part of the Pacific Northwest. But they would be mistaken, the closest border of Alaska is separated from the Continental US by both the Pacific Ocean and Canada, a distance of approximately 700 miles. The distance of Anchorage to Seattle is 1, 438 miles. To provide perspective, that is about the same distance between Seattle and Chicago, Illinois. Like Hawaii, Alaska is its own geography.  Blood Bank of Alaska has worked for 56 years to manage our expansive geography and logistical challenges to provide blood and blood products from Barrow to Juneau, in spite of unpredictable weather and unique geology.  We are honored to serve the State of Alaska and we take our role as part of the emergency response system seriously. On November 30, all of our planning and training for a major emergency were put to the test. We are proud to report BBA’s staff and Alaska blood donors rose to the occasion.

These drills must be held at unexpected times and under varying conditions to simulate emergency conditions. Where required by the fire code official, prior notification of emergency evacuation drills must be given to the fire code official.

Where a fire alarm system is provided, the emergency evacuation drills must be initiated by activating the fire alarm system. The fire alarm monitoring company must be notified before the activation of the alarm system and again at the conclusion of the transmission and restoration of the fire alarm system to normal mode. These alarm requirements, however, do not apply to drills conducted between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. in assisted-living facilities, group homes, and residential treatment facilities.

Shelter-in-place drills must be initiated by the shelter-in-place alert signal.

During the drill, the employer must make efforts to determine if all occupants have been successfully evacuated or have been accounted for in a shelter-in-place scenario. The recall signal initiation must be manually operated and under the control of the person in charge of the premises or the official in charge of the incident. No one may reenter the premises until authorized by the official in charge.

Records must be maintained of the emergency evacuation drills and include the following ...

About Kat

My passion for Real Estate began at a very early age. It's in my genes. With a Home Inspector and Real Estate investor for a father, I have lived and breathed Real Estate for as long as I can remember. Working alongside my father, I developed an eye to identify quality construction and design while also spotting potential problems. I also learned how to find a great deal.

With my background in customer service, management, mortgage loan origination, and as an award-winning Sales Executive, I decided it was time to make my dream career as a Realtor a reality. I bring to the table a wealth of experience and knowledge, ensuring my clients will receive exceptional customer service, expertise, and an enjoyable buying and/or selling experience.

When I'm not obsessing over Real Estate, I give my time by volunteering for the Idaho Youth Ranch and am actively involved with local Chambers of Commerce, Boise Young Professionals, Boise Regional Realtors, and am a Leadership Meridian graduate.

As a native Idahoan, I truly recognize and appreciates all our beautiful state and Valley have to offer. And I take full advantage: golfing, snowboarding, biking, camping, fishing, and spending time with friends and family.

I am looking forward to using my natural talents and affinity for real estate to help as many people as I can find the home of their dreams. Being a home owner myself has been one of the most enriching experiences in my life and I feel very strongly that being a part of that same kind of experience for others is what I was meant to do.

Put down the pre-bagged stuff, shut the microwave door, and learn how to make stovetop popcorn—the best popcorn, if you ask us—once and for all.

The only thing better than a good recipe? When something's so easy to make that you don't even need one. Welcome to It's That Simple, a column where our staffers talk you through the process of making the dishes and drinks that they can make with their eyes closed. This week: how to make stovetop popcorn perfectly, every time.

I don’t know when exactly it happened, but at a certain point in my life, popcorn usurped pasta as my ultimate comfort/procrastination/cooking for one/hangry food, and it continues to be a fulfilling relationship to this day.

I love the sound of popcorn makes when you combine it with oil and stir it in the bottom of a big pot—like tiny marbles clattering around on a frozen pond. I love the pop-pop-pop noise it makes from behind the cooking vessel’s walls. Gentle but persistent at first, then excited and relentless, then determined but diffused. I love the heady popcorn vapors that escape when you crack the lid over after all is said and done. And there is no greater satisfaction than pouring out a pot’s worth of popcorn into a giant bowl and discovering that there is not even a single un-popped kernel in the whole batch. Oh, the thrill of it all!

Instant Pot Essentials: Carla Makes Polenta Cacio e Pepe

The sad thing is that most people never experience these small triumphs, because most people either a) buy pre-popped, pre-flavored popcorn in a big bag, which is a big waste of money, b) make microwave popcorn, which is marginally better but still has a cardboard-y texture and is more expensive than it needs to be, or c) only eat popcorn at the movies, where all of the seasoning is artificial and heavy-handed (and is THE BIGGEST SCAM OF ALL TIME).

That’s why I’m planting a sunny yellow flag in favor of popcorn cookery, and I want you to know exactly how to summit this snackfood mountain. That's right: I'm going to teach you how to make stovetop popcorn. And nothing will ever be the same.

First up: Get yourself some popcorn kernels. Even if you spring for organic, which is entirely optional, popcorn is very inexpensive, generally less than $1 for a 4-ounce portion, whereas store-bought will set you back $4 for the same amount. You will also need cooking oil (extra-virgin olive oil is my fave, but peanut, canola, grapeseed, and vegetable will all work) and kosher salt. If you want to season it my way—which I highly recommend, though I'm obviously biased—go ahead and pick up a canister of nutritional yeast and some crushed red chili flakes (ideally Aleppo pepper, but you can make it happen with regular ones). The combination of these ingredients adds up to a cheesy-spicy flavor dust for the popcorn that challenges the dominance of Nacho Cheese Doritos.

To make the popcorn, you need a cooking vessel with a lid that offers room to grow. The popcorn is going to multiply in volume dramatically, and it needs empty space to hurtle into. The lid keeps it from ricocheting all over your kitchen, although that is a fun party trick. You also want to use a pot with good heat conductivity. A large Dutch oven is ideal, but a heavy duty stockpot will do in a pinch.

A enameled Dutch oven is the best tool for the job.

Grab your olive oil. For ½ cup popcorn kernels—a decent amount for 4 normal popcorn people or 2 insane popcorn eaters—add 3 Tbsp. of oil to the pan. Yes, it seems like a lot of oil, but without it, steam won’t build up in the pot, and without steam’s concentrated, moist heat, there will be no popping.

Put the pan over medium heat, pour in ½ cup popcorn kernels, stir to coat with oil and keep stirring occasionally until the kernels start to sizzle. Put the lid on the pan and nudge the dial halfway between medium and medium-high. Don’t go anywhere! Soon, but not too soon, popping noises will emanate from the pot. After that’s been happening for a minute or two, pick up the pot with the lid closed and shake it up and down. This is to prevent the dreaded scourge of unpopped kernels—you’ll hear them clinking around in there. Let the popping continue, but if you see any tendrils of smoke escaping from under the lid, immediately lower heat to medium.

When the pops have subsided to an eruption every couple of seconds, turn off the heat. Set the lid askew so that some steam can escape, because soggy pops are an abomination. After a minute of steam release, pour the popcorn onto a rimmed baking sheet, or your biggest, widest bowl. Immediately drizzle ¼ cup olive oil all over the popcorn. This needs to happen while it’s still hot, and then you have to toss thoroughly and with intention to coat the kernels with oil. When they’re glossed up, sprinkle nutritional yeast, chile flakes, and kosher salt overtop liberally, then toss vigorously to disperse it. If you're more of a melted butter person, or want to add grated cheese or lots of pepper or what have you, you should feel free to do you. The important thing to remember is that you need to add the fat—olive oil, coconut oil, butter—first, then add anything dry—spices, salt—and toss, toss, toss, otherwise the dry bits won't have anything to stick to.

You might find yourself eating more popcorn than you ever have before. You might find yourself making popcorn on the regular, now that you know how to do it, and have experienced first-hand how much better the homemade stuff is. You might like to know that popcorn is a whole grain, and that this whole plant-based endeavor might even be good for you. As they say, knowing is half the battle, and as long as we’re conquering popcorn, I stand with you.

In the context of international development efforts, accountability verification processes (AVPs) between INGOs and their local partners occur in multicultural settings. This study examines how national cultural differences affect the practice of AVPs by INGOs in three countries (UK, India, and Thailand). Findings demonstrate that "one size does not fit all." The use of a formal bureaucratic approach to AVPs is ineffective in lesser-developed societies because it violates cultural values held by partner organizations. In practice, verification methods are being modified at the community level to make them consistent with local cultures and to ensure better accountability results. This study informs INGO executives and trustees that as INGOs learn more about how national culture affects AVPs, appropriate steps can be taken to adjust how accountability is established and maintained."

Kamal Nath Targets BJP With Photo Of Dilapidated Road Not From India

Kamal Nath Targets BJP With Photo Of Dilapidated Road Not From India

No, this photo of a dilapidated road is not from Madhya Pradesh.

The official Twitter handle of former union minister and senior Madhya Pradesh Congress leader Kamal Nath tweeted a photo of a poorly constructed tar road, that is seen being rolled up like a carpet, blaming it on corruption within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state. The photo, however, is not from India.

In the tweet, Nath who is the president of the Madhya Pradesh Congress, took a dig at the Chief Minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who had made a statement in 2017 claiming that roads in his home state were in better state than those he had seen in Washington DC, USA, during a visit there.

Click here to view an archived version of the tweet.

This is not the first time this photo has gone viral in India to criticize a government for poor performance. In 2016, the same image was shared online as Bihar. (Viral Sach: This folding road is not of Bihar)

Former deputy chief minister of Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav had tweeted about it at the time.

The same image has also been shared as that from Indonesia and Nepal.

While BOOM was not able to find a credible news source to pin point where exactly the photo was taken the earliest instance of it online dates back to June 24, 2016 where it has been used in the context of Bangladesh. (see below tweet, archived version)

    Lucy in the sky with doctors

    Marijuana went medical, then mainstream. Are psychedelics next?

    fotolia/globe staff

    Standing outside the Harvard Crimson building a few Saturdays ago, a dozen people — white, professional types, some in their 20s, others with gray hair — listened to a story about a young Harvard undergraduate who was blackmailed into snitching on a professor who had given him psilocybin, the active ingredient in “magic mushrooms,” as part of a series of wildly unorthodox experiments.

    When asked whether he’d taken the drugs, the student told his dean, “Yes sir, I did. And it was the most educational experience I’ve had at Harvard.”

    The audience laughed knowingly. The story was more than five decades old, but as relevant as ever to those in attendance, members of a new movement that advocates psilocybin use as potentially transformative. They’d come to hear journalist Don Lattin, author of the 2010 book, “The Harvard Psychedelic Club,” speak about legendary psychedelics researchers Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (now known as Ram Dass) and their collaborators.

    In recent years, Americans have dramatically changed their views on substances once bundled together under the word “drugs.” The public image of prescription opioids — legal pharmaceuticals widely prescribed to address chronic pain — has suffered as those drugs have been implicated in a massive public health crisis. In contrast, the historic taboo against marijuana has quickly melted away. After six decades of illegality and demonization, voters in Colorado and Washington state legalized pot in 2012; eight states, including Massachusetts, followed. Now 20 percent of the US population enjoys access to some form of legalized marijuana.

    Was the shift in marijuana policy a one-off, or does it herald a larger trend? For a nascent movement of activists working to reframe psilocybin as both a medicine and as a tool for personal or spiritual growth, the fluidity of public attitudes creates an opportunity. They think researchers and policy makers should be able to discuss, in a dispassionate way, the medical or recreational use of hallucinogenic drugs — a subject that not long ago was unthinkable.

    The Boston Entheogenic Network (BEN), which organized Lattin’s tour as part of a weekend of educational activities, formed last year as a way to bring interested New Englanders together. Instead of the more familiar, more polarizing adjective “psychedelic,” BEN uses the term “entheogenic” — meaning “generating the divine within” — to describe multiple methods of achieving altered states of consciousness. The group defines the category broadly, to include special breathing techniques and immersion in nature as well as drugs.

    The organization, which has about 600 members in its Facebook group, emphasizes that it doesn’t facilitate illegal activity but does offer members a place to talk about experiences that in some cases involve drug use. “A lot of people have these experiences but have no way to process them or anybody else to process them with,” said Nathaniel Putnam, a social worker who is one of BEN’s cofounders. “There’s a lot of stigma around these types of experiences.”

    One member, a 41-year-old entrepreneur with a wife and two kids, who asked not to be named for obvious reasons, said he joined BEN after an astonishing experience two years ago with MDMA — the psychedelic drug known colloquially as ecstasy or molly. He’d suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from his childhood, and a friend urged him to give the drug a try.

    “I said ‘You’re crazy. I don’t do drugs,’” he said.

    Eventually, though, he agreed to take MDMA with the experienced friend, in a peaceful outdoor setting. He immediately sensed that the drug could be a tool for healing his psychological wounds. So he found an underground MDMA therapist. A couple of sessions later, he said, his hypervigilance is gone and he no longer meets the standards for complex PTSD.

    Beyond the curative powers he attributes to the drug, the man said he believes psychedelics have potential for improving human relationships. He and his wife have begun taking MDMA together every few months. He said the experience allows them to talk with each other in a fully empathetic, nonjudgmental way.

    “Our marriage was fine before MDMA,” he said. “Now it’s [expletive] phenomenal.”

    He’s impressed enough, he says, that he’s considering becoming an MDMA therapist himself.

    At first glance, psychedelics — which remain illegal under federal law — might not seem well positioned for mainstream acceptance. As of 2015, only 15 percent of Americans over age 12 had tried a hallucinogenic drug, compared with 44 percent for marijuana and 81 percent for alcohol, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

    When the Justice Department chose not to intervene after Colorado and Washington voters legalized marijuana at the state level, there was clear public support for looking the other way. Not so for psychedelics. A 2016 Vox/Morning Consult poll found that while 59 percent of Americans support decriminalizing weed, only around 20 percent feel the same way about psilocybin or LSD.

    And yet, proof of medical usefulness was the first step toward marijuana’s legalization. Could it be the same for hallucinogens?

    In fact, medical applications for psilocybin abound. Recent studies have found that MDMA seems to be a remarkably useful tool in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, when combined with psychotherapy. In August, the FDA designated the drug as a “breakthrough therapy,” meaning that it may have substantial advantages over existing PTSD treatments; the FDA will facilitate further tests with the goal of certifying it for clinical use. Other studies suggest psilocybin has promise as a treatment for anxiety and depression in people with terminal illnesses. Some researchers are also looking at psychedelics as possible treatments for alcoholism and opioid addiction.

    Meanwhile, “microdosing” — the regular use of tiny amounts of LSD or other psychedelics not to hallucinate but to improve creativity and mood — has become a Silicon Valley trend, popularized by Ayelet Waldman’s recent book “A Really Good Day.” And now, some advocates through a 2020 ballot measure in Oregon are trying to make that state the first to legalize psilocybin for therapeutic use.

    Rick Doblin, founder of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, which has facilitated much of the promising research on the therapeutic use of MDMA, has been working with others in the psychedelics research world on clinical use of the drugs. He’s tried for decades to replicate and follow up on Leary and Alpert’s work and uncovered sloppy science. At a panel discussion that was part of BEN’s weekend of activities, Doblin said that Leary and his collaborators seem to have fudged their evidence to suggest that administering psilocybin to inmates at the state prison in Concord reduced their recidivism rates.

    In 1991, when Doblin followed up with participants from the famous 1962 “Good Friday experiment,” in which one of Leary’s graduate students administered psilocybin to divinity students at Boston University’s Marsh Chapel, he found that most of the men who received the drug still considered the experience to have been a profound event in their lives. But he also found that the researchers had greatly downplayed the negative side of participants’ experiences, including completely omitting the fact that one participant ran wildly out of the chapel and had to be tranquilized.

    Most psychedelic advocates today acknowledge the potential dangers of the drugs, which generally cause less harm than alcohol, medical experts say, but are far from risk-free. To turn psychedelics into useful tools, Doblin said, advocates need to avoid Leary’s “one dose, you’re enlightened” rhetoric and instead focus on ways to make sure anyone using the drugs is given a chance to process the experience and work through any negative fallout.

    “The key is integrating into society,” he said, “to avoid cultural backlash by becoming mainstream, not counterculture.”

    TO SOME advocates, though, marijuana’s path to legalization isn’t an ideal model. Wendy Chapkis, a University of Southern Maine sociologist, studied a non-profit California patient-caregiver weed-growing collective. She said the collective’s value for its members, including many people who were dealing with terminal illness, lay partly in working together to grow and package the drug while relying on each other for mutual support. Commercialization of the marijuana industry, she suggested, is moving away from that kind of experience.

    “I urge all of us in the psychedelic legalization movement to put community front and center,” she said.

    Chapkis also noted that the most visible leaders of the movement today — just like back in the 1960s — are almost all privileged white men. That skews the movement’s methods, she said. For example, white psychedelic enthusiasts’ use of traditional medicines like peyote or ayahuasca can remove the drugs from their cultural and religious context, sometimes to the dismay of people who have passed these rituals down through their families for generations.

    “We need to make sure we’re not replicating conditions of colonial dominance,” Chapkis said.

    Similarly, when it comes to marijuana, black and Latino people, who have suffered disproportionately from criminalization, have largely been left out of the legal weed business.

    Doblin’s main goal is to see MDMA, psilocybin, and similar drugs legalized for use in organized clinics, not for people to take home and play with on their own, as with marijuana. Jack Watson, president of the Northeastern University chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, which hosted the BEN panel discussion, said one of his organization’s goals is to legalize and regulate all drugs, even dangerous ones like heroin; the result, he argues, would be clearly labeled products, rather than street drugs which can contain lethal additives like fentanyl.

    In some ways, Leary and Alpert’s early psychedelic experiments polarized the movement that followed. Both saw their first psilocybin trips as deeply religious experiences and swiftly began proselytizing for psychedelics as a way to expand human consciousness and transform the world. But within a few years Alpert abandoned drugs in favor of a spiritual path to a state of enlightenment that drugs had only hinted at. Meanwhile, Leary’s evangelism for widespread, indiscriminate use of the drugs ran afoul of media and parents who blamed him for episodes of mental illness, and even suicides, among young people using psychedelics.

    Advocates for psychedelics have come a long way from Leary’s indiscriminate call for young people to “turn on, tune in, and drop out,” but many still believe these drugs could change the world. BEN cofounder Leia Friedman, a clinician and adjunct psychology professor at Lasell College in Newton, said she sees two different approaches to psychedelics emerging. One views the drugs as a tool for individuals who want to be healthier, happier, and more productive in the world as it is. The other sees drugs as a pathway to a better world, informed by diverse spiritual traditions and a respect for human life. And she said that, even if people take the drugs with the first mindset, she believes the “humbling” and “empathetic” nature of the psychedelic drug experience will shift them toward a more holistic way of thinking.

    “When more people start expanding their consciousness, I think it will bring people to a place they wouldn’t otherwise be,” she said.

    During the long national backlash to figures such as Timothy Leary, Americans may have been skeptical of efforts to cast psychedelic drugs in cosmic terms. But as the marijuana debate shows, attitude shifts that barely seemed possible can sometimes become inevitable.

WARNING: Read Before You Sign

signature-962354_640We often counsel our clients with regard to the importance of fully understanding the content of admission agreements and any other contract for that matter. Recently, a District Court of Appeals in Florida upheld an arbitration clause in the admission agreement signed by the applicant’s daughter and attorney-in-fact, Debra. Debra assisted her mother, Sheila, in her admittance to a care and rehabilitation Center in Florida. As part of that admission, the facility requested that Debra sign an admission agreement which she did. Sometime later, Debra filed a complaint alleging the facility breached Sheila’s resident rights. The rehab center moved to compel arbitration pursuant to the agreement. The trial court denied the motion to compel; however, this decision was reversed on appeal. The court stated “[I]t is settled that a party should not be permitted to avoid the consequences of a contract freely entered into simply because he or she elected not to read and understand its terms before executing it.”  Florida Holdings III, LLC v. Duerst, 2106 WL 920540 (March 11, 2016).

The legislature in New Jersey though, through the creation of the Nursing Home Act, has already determined that residents of nursing homes and assisted living centers are members of a vulnerable group entitled to special protection. See N.J.S.A. 30:12-1 – 17, Ruszala, 1 A.3d at 820-821. While arbitration clauses may not result in the same negative outcome as in Florida, it is important to take a lesson from this Florida case. Always read and understand the terms of any contract you sign on behalf of yourself or someone else.

The elder law attorneys at Bratton Law are well-acquainted with the intricacies of Long Term Care Contracts, and can review them for you and your family in order to make certain that there are no questions or issues that need to be resolved. A quick call to our office will get you a convenient appointment to address these as well as many other questions. 856-857-6007.

Scarves, sunglasses, cords, jewelry… if you’re in need of some major accessory organization, you’re going to love our next DIY hack: the Wooden Bungee Wall Organizer.

This project is uber easy and produces quite a beautiful result. The wooden element takes the quality of everything up a notch and helps to make this object perfect for both guys and gals alike.

bungee cords (red, yellow, blue)

– wood stain (golden pecan, jacobean, sedona red)

– 3 2-foot hobby boards

picture hanging kit

– drill

– lighter

– stapler

– hammer

This is project best completed outdoors. Not only does the wood stain need ventilation, but those wooden dust particles that come from drilling can be pretty pesky.

First, drill two holes in each hobby board. Use a drill bit that is as thick or slightly thicker than the size of your bungee. We got these hobby boards for $5 a pop at Home Depot. The great thing about these is that they’re light and easy to work with. Plus, they don’t require any sanding. Score!

Now it’s time to add the wood stain. Use a rag or paper towel to stain each piece of wood. Let dry for 10 minutes or so.

Cut the hook off your bungee cords. Use a lighter to seal the ends so the cording doesn’t fray. Then pull through the hole you just created and staple to the board. A staple gun would work best for this, but we hacked it up and used a regular stapler combined with a hammer.

Stay with us, you’re almost done!

Use a standard picture hanging kit to add wire to the back of each caddy. Then simply hang.

This project is perfect for hanging accessories, jewelry, cords, towels, dog leashes… let your imagination run wild! I’m personally so in love with it, that I am considering adding some to multiple rooms in the house. Wouldn’t this also make for a fun housewarming or wedding gift? Nothing says love like a handmade organization tool! (We’re only half joking. We <3 organization.)

Give it a shot! We promise you won’t regret it.

why do we fall so we car learn to pick ourselves up

Anecdote; A Nasty Fall; Don’t let the ‘fat’ decide your fate #cottoncandies

 Later, that year, when the school was about to celebrate the 66th year of independence, I was confident enough to walk down on my own and tell P.T sir that I wanted to be the commander of the team. Being the Head Girl, it was my informal right too. He had nothing to say and nobody else stepped forward

13 shares, 81 points

This incident happened when I was in 9th standard. And it’s one of the most memorable experiences for me which I remember even now very clearly. I have been a teacher’s favourite all my life. Wherever I have studied be it my school or my coaching, I have been the apple of their eye. Besides all of my teachers who had taught me in school, there was this one P.T teacher in my school who did not like me at all.

So when the school had to prepare for the Republic Day or Independence Day, he seemed to be the busiest person because according to him, training the students for march-past was the most difficult thing, which certainly is right. I was very bad with sports and other physical activities. Perhaps, because of my weight. I have been a fat kid ever since I came out of my mother’s womb. It’s genetic. And I think no diet, or exercise could make me look slim. I accepted the fact long back but people around me did not let me forget that. So when the whole class was called out by our P.T sir for march-past selection, I went too. Although I was very underconfident about my marching skills and most importantly about my image in front of P.T sir. I wasn’t even anticipating to get selected. But to my surprise, I got selected. I wondered why.

I was quite happy to be a part of this new marching team. I thought he did not dislike me so much. I thought he was just strict. One day, amidst the marching practice I overheard P.T sir saying this to the peon while he handed over him a cup of tea, “Arey Bacche Kam hain, is moti Ko bhi Lena pada, warna mein kabhi nahi leta. “(There aren’t enough students so I had to take this fatso too, otherwise I would not have considered her).”  It was such a heartbreaking moment for me. I have always been the favourite of my teachers (and I certainly knew this) but listening to P.T sir that day, I felt really bad. I ended up crying. He was so unsure about taking me in the team. That uncertainty was eating all my confidence. I was anyways good with the marching and I tried too hard to be the best. I even tried to be the commander of the girl’s team too but I couldn’t make it.

chubby girl

Well, the big day arrived. Republic day was welcomed by rain that year. That day, it was raining heavily. The ground was too slippery and the soil was too moist to walk. I was facing difficulties in even walking normally on that and I was conscious as to how will I manage during the march-past.  Finally, when the march- past began, after around 20 steps I guess, I found myself lying in the moist soil with my white dress all messed up in the brown filth. I was so embarrassed. Nobody but me fell down in front of the entire school. My legs just fell apart and I slipped like anything. I couldn’t even manage to get up on my own. The last two girls who were behind me helped me get up and then they continued with the march-past while I just ran straight to the washroom. I was too embarrassed to even stand there for another moment. Even today, I could feel the humiliation and insult. I just proved P.T sir right. He was right. I was just another fatso, good for nothing,  at least in sports. For months, I remembered the incident. It haunted me like anything.

Well, I was good at academics. I think books and me share a really nice bond and that’s why the teachers really appreciated me. I topped in my 9th standard. Later, when I came back to school after my summer vacations, there was a huge debate about the selection of the new Head Boy and Head Girl of the school. Everybody unanimously voted me for the post of the Head Girl.  Later, that year, when the school was about to celebrate the 66th year of independence, I was confident enough to walk down on my own and tell P.T sir that I wanted to be the commander of the team. Being the Head Girl, it was my informal right too. He had nothing to say and nobody else stepped forward. My base voice is strong and that is one of the most important requirements for being the commander so that even the last person in the row could hear the commands and walk accordingly.

I lead the team that year. This time, there was not even a tinge of nervousness in me and I walked confidently.

I still remember everybody said that they had never seen a Commander like me. Everybody appreciated me. But there was a special appreciation. It was from P.T sir. When the event was finished, he came to me and said “You did a great Job. Well done”. His words still echo in my ears. And I still haven’t forgotten that smile on his face. He was proud of me. That one teacher that I never thought would even talk to me normally was appreciating me.

Even today, whenever I visit my school, he would tell me “This school have never got a Head Girl like you again. We really miss you”.

Today when I think about that incident, I feel happy.

The political realities and challenges of public investment

President-elect Trump and many members of Congress propose to spend a lot more on public investment. Where should that money be directed to get the highest return? Based on what evidence? Which spending on physical infrastructure pays off most over time—roads, airports, water systems? Which spending on education, child-health, and other similar programs is most likely to yield higher wages and faster productivity growth in the future?

On January 9, the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at Brookings investigated these and other questions about public investment in both physical infrastructure and human capital, beginning with keynote remarks from Larry Summers and a response from Harvard’s Ed Glaeser. The day’s events also included a discussion of practical and political challenges to directing investment spending to areas where the returns are likely to be greatest, as well as two new papers: one examining the evidence – or lack thereof – on the long-run benefits of investing in education; the other asking similar questions about income transfers, such as Medicaid and housing assistance, for children. The program concluded with a moderated discussion between Representatives Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) and Tom Reed (R-Ny.), where they expanded upon the challenges of translating evidence into policy in their respective districts.
