Depression is an illness that affects many areas of a person’s life, such as relationships with friends and family, performance at work and school, and everyday activities like eating and sleeping. It affects men and women, young and old, regardless of race or intelligence or religion.

The clinical term for it is Major Depressive Disorder. For the sake of clarity, we’ll refer to it as “depression”.

Many people experience symptoms of depression at some point in their lives, but the difference between feeling a little depressed and having major depression is the difference between a fire cracker and a nuclear bomb.

What is Major Depression?

Medical professionals such as doctors and mental health counselors diagnose depression after a person feels symptoms for at least two weeks. Most of the time people experience their first bout of major depression around the time they turn 20, but a person of any age can experience depression.

At times depression comes about after a difficult event, like the death of a loved one, a traumatic experience, or other major life changes.

Major Depressive Disorder: The Facts
The leading cause of disability in the U.S. for ages 15 to 44.
Affects 16.1 million American adults, which is almost 7% of the population.
Average age of onset is 32.5.
Strongly linked to suicidal behaviors and co-occurring substance abuse disorders.
Affects more women than men.

Major Depressive Disorder: The Facts

Other times depression does not seem to have a source and may appear to come out of nowhere. Some of the symptoms of major depression include:

  • Negative feelings like sadness, guilt, and worry
  • Low self-esteem
  • Hopelessness for the future
  • Difficulty feeling excitement or pleasure for things that were previously pleasurable
  • Problems concentrating
  • Anger and irritability
  • Poor memory or forgetfulness
  • Problems sleeping, which may mean sleeping too much or too little
  • Changes in appetite, such as wanting to eat more than usual or having no appetite
  • Low energy
  • Thoughts of suicide or harming yourself

Who Does Major Depression Affect?

Major Depression can come about for a number of reasons and studies show that 1 in 4 people will experience depression at some point in their lives.

There are several different explanations for why people become depressed, and different causes may apply to different people.

For some, major depression is genetic, meaning that genes are passed on from a person’s parents, making them more likely to develop depression later in life. Stress has also been linked to depression. Chronic stress puts you at high risk for major depression.

This can be especially true for someone who is also genetically predisposed. Even changes in the brain like traumatic head injuries can spark depression.

Major depression can also be caused by difficult events, like trauma. Being in a car accident, experiencing physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, or the death of a loved one can put a person at risk of having strong negative feelings.

While it is normal to initially feel sad or upset after a difficult event, if these feelings persist for more than two weeks then a person may have developed major depression, which should not be ignored.

Does Major Depression Affect People Differently?

Depression does not discriminate against age, gender, or ethnicity.

While many people experience depression, it can look different from person to person. Research has found that men and women sometimes differ in how they present with depression.

  • Men are more likely to use drugs and alcohol to cope with depression
  • Women are more likely to feel depressed by stressful events
  • Men tend to hide their depression from family and friends
  • Women are more likely to also have eating disorders with depression
  • Women may become depressed after giving birth to a child, which is called Postpartum Depression

Major Depression can also affect children differently than adults.

Children may seem more irritable, dependent, and clingy when they are feeling depressed. They may have problems separating from parents or other caregivers. Their grades and interest in activities like sports may also suffer.

These are important signs to be aware of, especially since children may find it difficult to express how they feel.

Treatments for Major Depression

Several different medications are used to treat depression. Some medications have side effects so you should always speak with your doctor before taking any prescription drugs.

Another form of treatment for major depression is psychotherapy.

One form of therapy that is especially helpful in treating major depression is cognitive-behavioral therapy. Also called CBT, it is based on the idea that a person’s emotions are affected by his or her thoughts about themselves and the world in which they live. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns (called cognitive distortions) and to create new, healthier thoughts.

CBT helps depressed people understand why the way that they think causes and maintains their depression.

One common cognitive distortion, or way of thinking, that many people with depression have is called “catastrophizing.” In CBT catastrophizing refers to a person’s tendency to always expect the worst.

For example, a person with depression may say “there’s no point in studying for this exam because I will always fail.” A CBT therapist would help this person recognize this pattern and change this negative thought.

When Should You Seek Help?

Major Depression may look different from person to person, and you may wonder when a good time is for you, a family member, or friend to seek help. Here are 3 signs that it is time to seek help for major depression:

  1. If symptoms have lasted for over two weeks it is time to seek help. When you experience a difficult event, like the death of someone close to you, it is normal to feel sad. This is a normal reaction to a difficult event, called grief. If your feelings continue to be strong after a period of time and/or get worse, then it is time to seek outside help.
  2. If your symptoms start to impact many areas of your life then it is time to seek help. Maybe you initially felt depressed but were able to go to work, care for your family, and take care of yourself. After a period of time this may become more difficult and you might start missing work, neglecting your relationships, and not eating or sleeping well. When your depression starts to affect your relationships and your ability to function in your daily life then it is time to seek help.
  3. If you are resorting to unhealthy ways to cope with your depression, like using drugs or alcohol, then it is time to seek help. You may want to numb what you are feeling by using these things, but this will cause more problems down the road. It is best to seek dual diagnosis treatment, which means you will be treated for your substance use and your depression at the same time.

Where Can You Get Help?

Getting help is the first step in recovery from major depression. Often times it is the hardest and change can be difficult. If you or someone you know is ready to seek help there are ways to reach out:

  • You can speak to your medical doctor about different options. They may prescribe you medications or refer you to a therapist. A psychiatrist is also a doctor who specializes in mental health and can offer you medication and possibly therapy.
  • You can reach out to a therapist directly to schedule a session to talk about your depression. Psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals will be able to assist you.
  • If you would like intensive treatment, you can contact a treatment center directly. Inpatient treatment centers allow you to live in the facility while you are getting help. If you seek outpatient treatment then you will attend group and individual therapy 2-4 times per week but stay in your own home.
  • These days, many people take advantage of online counseling platforms like BetterHelp, which offers convenient, affordable, and confidential sessions with your very own licensed therapist. (sponsored)

Why Major Depression is Dangerous

Major Depression can be uncomfortable and frustrating, but if left untreated can also be dangerous. Some of the serious consequences of depression include:

  • Some people with depression may use unhealthy coping skills, like drugs and alcohol. This can be dangerous, especially when different drugs are combined with one another. The consequences of drug and alcohol use can include relationship problems, legal issues, and in some cases overdose and/or death.
  • Depression may cause some people to want to hurt themselves, such as through cutting or burning. This is dangerous and can cause serious consequences and long-term health issues.
  • The most dangerous symptom of depression is suicide. Some people that feel depressed have thoughts of hurting themselves and may act on these thoughts. Each year than more 47,000 people in the United States take their own lives. Many never sought help.
  • Men and women of every age and ethnicity are impacted by suicide, and the rate of suicide among adolescents is increasing at an alarming rate. The highest risk group for suicide is men between the ages of 25 and 65. If you feel suicidal, have a plan, and intend to go through with it, then call 911 immediately.

  1. Hi, Thanks For Your Top-Notch Article. Most Likely, Depression Is Caused By A Combination Of Genetic, Biological, Environmental, And Psychological Factors, According To The NIMH. Certain Medical Conditions May Also Trigger Depression, Including An Underactive Thyroid Gland, Cancer, Heart Disease, Prolonged Pain, And Other Significant Illnesses.

  2. It is a great post RANDY WITHERS. People often think that what depression actually is. This blog provides an insight about the depression and how it is affecting people nowadays. Depression should be cured at an early stage with the help of the therapist.

  3. Hi, Thanks For Your Article. There are many different reasons for depression. Often they are individual. But a lot of people are good at hardcore training. Working at the level of hormone production, it works as a counterweight.

  4. “This site was… how do you say it? Relevant!! Finally I’ve found something that helped me. Cheers!”

Girls’ Long Sleeve Sweatshirts & Hoodies

Our girls’ sweatshirts and fleeces are colourful and oh-so-comfortable, making them perfect for everyday adventures. When the weather is predictably unpredictable, look no further than our girls’ fleeces, hoodies, and zip-ups. As well as keeping things cosy, our sweatshirts and knits turn up the style level with standout prints and our signature appliqué animals. If the temperature really dips, designs with a seriously soft, shaggy-lined interior dial up the warmth. So bring on the brrrs, we’ve got it covered – quite literally. Oh, and they’re all machine washable (because we know spillages are pretty much inevitable).

Mercedes-Benz at Palmer Sport (May 2015)

It's no surprise that staff who work for Mercedes-Benz are going to enjoy an element of speed. And there are fewer places in the world better to experience this that Palmer Sport Racing in Bedfordshire.

PalmerSport is a full-day driving event, created in 1991 by former F1 racer Jonathan Palmer, which has earned a well established reputation as the best corporate motorsport event in the world. And to photograph events like these is almost as exciting as driving the cars themselves.

These high achievers within Mercedes-Benz spent a full day experiencing the thrill and excitement of fast cars. I just hope none of them caught a speeding ticket on the way home...(!)

After figureing out immortality and automating all daily tasks to computers, humanity lives a no stress happy life. But as Gordon soon finds out, things are not always what they seem.

“The planet will be here, we will be long gone, just another failed mutation, just another closed end biological mistake, an evolutionary cul-de-sac, the planet will shake us off like a bad case of fleas.”

-George Carlin

Gordon was dressed in pale, cheap white shorts with stripes all around; the elastic tightly around his waist. They were definitely something you would not wear outside of the house. He also had a very plain, cheap white shirt on. The kind that rips easy, washes easy, and has enough room for any kind of writing. Again, not something you would step out of the house in. And finally, he had long ratty, dark hair and a thick, dark unkempt beard.

He was lying on a dark, old couch. His apartment was plain white; underneath the screens, baked into his walls, were plain white and drab. There were a lot of clothes on the floor. Next to the couch, was a plain, brown coffee table with a screen baked into it. On its screen was a word processor file neatly displayed, with nothing but a title written in it: “A Hero Stands Alone.” It was originally planned to be an epic fantasy novel about a mythical superhuman called a “Soldier,” who was engaged in the mythical ritual of killing people of an opposing side. This ritual was known as “Combat”.

If Gordon were to have accomplished this project, it would have become the first human-written novel in hundreds of years; most were procedurally generated these days. It was always Gordon’s dream to become a famous writer; though actually becoming one was much harder than it appeared. Suddenly, he heard an alarm buzz.“Oh, time to eat!” He then transferred his attention to his completely empty story.“Well, I still have millions of years to finish this thing.” He declared. He got up and walked over to grab the synthetic algae-based food that had fallen from a chute built into the ceiling.

The chute lead from a long pipe system that spread all throughout the city where Gordon was living in. The food came from a set of automated food manufacturing plants, controlled by a set of mainframe Linux® kernel based computers that had a mix of userland software from GNU and the many BSD’s. The computers had been switched on around 800 years ago and hadn’t been reviewed since. They controlled everything in the capital, as well as all the rest of the cities around the world. They handled electricity generation and distribution, water treatment, food production, human gene Tran-differentiation, basic entertainment, films, novels, comics, and short stories. They all were procedurally generated by the computers, based on a series of algorithms implemented so long ago and taken from typical attributes often found in stories.

They did this so people would not have to do anything but enjoy themselves. Gordon’s coffee table buzzed; it was a message from his friend Ralph. It read, “Meet me at the theater.” Gordon thought about this for a minute, then got up. He put on jeans over his shorts, threw a leather jacket on, and walked out the door, which automatically slid shut behind him, and he stepped out onto a conveyor belt. A small screen emerged out in front of him.

He decided it would be better to head to the life extension plant first. So, he hit the button corresponding to the plant on the little screen and the conveyor started steadily moving. He looked around; the city was a drab hi-tech masterpiece, or failure, depending on your own opinion. The city was composed of black and gray metal buildings that were chipped and peeling. They were all old, rusting, and interconnected to the system of conveyor belts that spread around the city. Sporadically, there were small flying robots sent out by the mainframes to repair the structures; they mostly ignored humans. The conveyor belt was moving slowly, as it always did.

A few times Gordon was stopped by the massive amounts of people traveling in the same direction as he, the conveyor belts were just over filled with people. After awhile though, Gordon got to the life extension plant. It was a small building connected with all the rest and with the same coat of paint. Gordon stepped off the conveyor belt and only traveled five feet in order to reach the building. Inside, a small chamber had opened up with a perfect human-outlined hole for someone to set in. Next to it was a simple computer screen for adding one’s identity. Gordon bent over to add his name, then stepped into the machine. Connectors slowly began to snake up into his brain and into the rest of his body; the life extension procedure had begun. First, his brain was mounted as a hard disk in the mainframes operating system. A script was activated to first back up his brain, archive it, then add the back up to his newly restored body. The connectors in the other parts of his body analyzed all his genes, then a program started something called “Transdifferentiation,” where all of his cells’ growth were shifted back a year, from age 26 to 25. This is how Gordon and every other human had managed to stay alive for hundreds of years. After his genes were reversed, his brain image was restored. This way he wouldn’t be able to lose one year’s worth of memory.

Only this time, there was a problem. His brain image had become corrupt from hundreds of years of cell age. So in order to cope with this, some of the corrupt parts were replaced with archived chunks of his brain,; some of which were from a few hundred years back, some from only a few years back, and one from the very first archive. After emerging from the machine, Gordon fell to the floor in a heap; feeling disoriented, he vomited up a brownish pink liquid, which was unnatural and only developed when you ate artificial food. Suddenly, memories began to flow back into his brain. They were of Gordon sitting in a lab, programming something called a “City Mainframe”. He had memories of being clean shaven, showered, and if he were not mistaken, writing? Apparently “A Hero Stands Alone” would not be Gordon's first form of fictional work. Something else had come back too - a nagging urgency, a feeling of incompleteness, as if something he worked on might not be as safe as he once thought. After a few moments, Gordon dusted himself off and finally headed off to the theater. The theater (like everywhere else in the city) was a barren place; unfinished, the walls and stage were made of black sheet metal, and dozens of robot actors were rooted to the ground.

It was currently inactive since the play had not started yet. Gordon caught sight of his friend Ralph, over in a seat for two. Every seat was big and mechanical looking; surrounded by clear glass which separated them with each other. Gordon took a seat next to Ralph and shook his hand. Ralph was a small, plain looking man, with similar unkempt facial features like Gordon's, except his were blonde.

“How’s it going?” asked Ralph in a monotonous voice.

“Kinda weird, actually.” replied Gordon.

“How so?”

“I just had a tune up at the life extension plant and since then, I keep having memories of working on the computers.”

“What's a computer?”

“Hmm, I don't really know. I think they do things for us, important things, and I feel like something is wrong with them.”

“It’s probably just a reaction to the tune up, give it some time and it will pass.”

“Maybe, I have a question though. Do things feel right to you? Cause they don't for me. I feel like things were not always handed to us like they are now.”

“What kind of things?”

“I'm not sure now, my head hurts.”

“Maybe you should just sit back and enjoy yourself. The play is just about to start.”

“OK.” Gordon leaned back in his chair as a wire snaked into his brain yet again. That wire began filling in all the details of the play; the background, the actor’s faces, and even dialogue to give the play more life. The play itself was nothing special, just another procedurally generated, predictable work about a romance gone bad. There was something small about this that caught Gordon's eye though - a single tiny detail. It was the name of the main male protagonist, John. It reminded him of something.

Suddenly, his mind cast far back to earlier in his life. It was his most successful story ever written, one that had put him on the map. Something else came to mind though too from that time. That feeling of incompleteness he felt before was back, this time much more intense, and he could finally pinpoint it. It had to do with the programming for the Linux® kernel based operating system that went into the mainframes. In Gordon's growing laziness, he used a proprietary kernel module to control part of the machinery instead of reverse engineering a free module. Since the source code for the driver was not available, Gordon could not audit it for bugs, like the one other users had reported of it a few years after he had installed the system. This caused a fatal kernel panic (the Linux® kernel equivalent of the blue screen of death) on the system it was running on. He had tried to write a replacement driver, but kept putting it off until he eventually forgot about it. Now all he could think about was getting to the mainframes. He forcibly willed himself into remembering where they were.

“I need to get out of here!” Gordon screamed.

“Would you calm down?! Just watch the play and you will feel better.” As Ralph said this the room suddenly went completely dark, no noise, no machine movement, no nothing. The kernel panic had started, Gordon knew what he had to do. He reached back and ripped the wire out of his brain, screaming shrilly in pain as he did it. Then when it was out he took off running. He ran through many stalled conveyor belts and was horrified at all the chaos going on around him: people were running around, screaming, hitting each other, and rolling around on the ground, but he kept going.

He had his mind set on the computer’s storage area, when suddenly, an explosion took effect. A red shock wave shot out from the distance engulfing everything in his path. Gordon had not stopped running and had ran right into the blast, then he was picked up into the air. The entire city and all of its residents were vaporized in a matter of seconds. The same thing happened to all the cities in the rest of the world.

The mainframes were controlling the nuclear power plants that fed everyone electricity, when the kernel panic took effect. All the plants failed at once and took everyone else with it, in a blink of an eye humanity ceased to exist. No one knows why the humans had to die or why Gordon found the answer at just the wrong time. Maybe the earth simply wanted them gone. Maybe it was the work of a disappointed god who wanted to start over again. Maybe the biosphere was simply correcting over population. Or maybe the humans had just been unlucky. It was bound to happen sooner or later though, the humans were on borrowed time. In their quest to be free from work, to be free from commitment, they entrusted everything to a machine - a machine that was only as perfect as those who created it. In any case, the earth moved on. Its radioactivity subsided and new forms of life began to take over. Some made the same mistakes as humans did, while others prospered and spread throughout the universe.

This book is a voyage of discovery into the past. Its author charts the waters of Alabama's Mobile-Tensaw Delta as he explores the Bottle Creek site, the principal late prehistoric mound center of the Pensacola Culture. This site, now a National Historic Landmark, was the scene of three seasons of archaeological fieldwork in the early 1990s. Ian Brown and his team of investigators not only provide a vivid picture of what swamp archaeology is like at the "trowel's edge," as seen from the day-to-day perspective of doing archaeology, but they offer the swamp itself in all its majesty, glory, and danger. This is a book about life in the swamp, both now and then. Any who follow in the wake of the Bottle Creek boat must do so with ample caution and due reflection.

Sara's Review: Scarlet Heat (Born to Darkness #2) by Evangeline Anderson

Reviewer Purchase Publisher: Self-Published Released: April 16th 2013 Narrators: Mackenzie Cartwright & Jeremy Wright Genre: Erotica, Paranormal Length: 365 Pages Format: eBook, Audio Author Links Facebook | Twitter | Website Buy Links Amazon Synopsis Taylor is a vampire but she doesn't want to be. Turned against her will by her sadistic mistress, Celeste, she has been living a miserable life of bondage and abuse for the past six years. Finally, through the help of her best friend Addison, Taylor is rescued but she can’t relax for long. In order to save her from an even worse fate, she is married off to Victor a very reluctant groom who just happens to be a werewolf. Victor doesn't want to be responsible for the fledgling vampire, no matter how beautiful she is. Especially when he finds out she is the only one he can drink from. But aside from the strange arousal that overtakes him every time she sinks her dainty fangs into his throat, he has other problems to deal with…and a very big secret to hide. Their marriage of convenience is only supposed to last for three months but Victor and Taylor finds themselves drawn together by more than the vows they took. But as their attraction grows, so does something else. Inside Taylor, something is changing. She begins to have physical cravings she has never had before, insatiable appetites that only Victor can satisfy. Will she succumb to the madness growing within her or can Victor save her from the Scarlet Heat? Five Boundless Stars I purchased Scarlet Heat as an Audiobook and I honestly have to say Mackenzie Cartwright and Jeremy York did a suburb job bring this titillating story to life. We met Taylor back in book one of the Born to Darkness series, Crimson Debt. She had been horribly abused by her Mistress and in order to free her she is arranged (forced) to Blood Bond with a Werewolf Victor for 3 months. I was really looking forward to reading Taylor and Victor’s book right from their introduction in Crimson Debt and I am so glad I finally got my hands on it. As you can imagine two people (whatever) living in that close proximity to each other for any amount of time can cause feelings to change. It also doesn’t hurt that Victor is the only one who can feed Taylor. With his blood comes some unexpected results due to him hiding a very scary secret. The scenes between Victor and Taylor were scorching hot, but also super sweet. I loved how he was with her. Victor was a huge surprise for me. But I guess he shouldn’t have been. He was incredibly loving and sweet yet 100% Alpha, just the way Evangeline always writes her men. Scarlet Heat totally hits the spot for this Vampire/Werewolf romance and I absolutely can’t wait to read the next installment in the series, Ruby Shadows

A wonderful day with Dr. Saroj Dhital

We spent a meaningful day on Saturday, Novemebr 23, 2008.
We had visited Dr. Saroj Dhital's place in Hattigaunda. He has a very attractive and beautiful house there. The ambience itself is serene over there.

Although he is a realtive of ours, the credit to renew the connection goes to a common friend Aavaas. To cut short a long story, we have been busy in our own respective day to day life and had not met properly. It was through Aavas, the gap was erased.

Dr. Dhital is a multi facet personality. A well known surgeon of the country, his keen interest in literature, philosophy and life makes him apart. We had gone for a brief visit but ended up spending the entire day with him and his wonderful family.

He was generous enough to take us for a short hike around the area. I was surprised to see the diverse terrains of the area. We could experience the beauty of a country side so very near to the city. We took a route which took us through rice fields, small hills, clean rivers and ancient town of Tokha.

Conversation which ranged from family matters, human relations, political/social scenario, art, literature and even religions not to forget medical were meaningful and constructive. After a really long time we could feel that we had a wonderful day. That was what I SMSed him in the evening after reaching home,
"Thank a lot for a wonderful day"

And pat came the reply,
"You made it"

Do I need to say more?

1 comment:

  1. agree with mr dhital that you are a wonderful human.

Provide Lunches for Schoolchildren

A hungry child cannot learn to read, write, or understand even basic math. Yet it is all too common for children in impoverished communities to come to school hungry, especially on Mondays because no school meals are available over the weekend.

By providing a meal before school starts or during the lunch hour, we see grades and test scores rise. Your gift provides young children with another month of learning opportunities and satisfied stomachs while they study. And when kids get a good education, they are more likely to break the cycle of poverty permanently.

Running Teaching Events

by Toby Manning

This document provides advice to members arranging Teaching Events. It does not deal with One-to-One teaching; instead it concentrates on group teaching events in a face-to face context (i.e. not remotely over the internet).

Room Hire

You will need a small room. You will need to provide tea and coffee, and either provide lunch or ensure that there are local facilities for lunch.

The room should be at a reasonable temperature (neither too cold nor too hot: you do not want the students falling asleep), and  is reasonably ventilated.

Either a magnetic demonstration board, or a computer with a projector onto a screen or blank wall can be used. If the latter is used, make sure that you are well prepared: all software, and the SGF Game files should be preloaded onto your computer, and the connection to the projector tested early. Remember that you will probably have no back up if you cannot get the computer/projector combination to work.

If using a projector ensure that the light is bright enough (or the room can be dimmed): projected images can be difficult to see in bright sunlight.

We recommend the following charges

  • £4/half day (amateur teaching)
  • £7.50 /full day (amateur teaching)
  • Rates are doubled for professional teaching.

These costs do not include lunch or other refreshments.

The Lecturer should have two qualifications. Firstly, and most importantly, they should have a good, comprehensible, conversational style. They should show empathy with the audience, and be prepared to listen to them; they should also show flexibility, being prepared to change the timetable if appropriate.

Secondly they need to have a certain expertise at Go. It is suggested that:-

  • If the teacher is of dan strength, they should be at least 4 stones stronger than the students
  • If the teacher is kyu strength, they should be 6 stones stronger than the students
  • To teach beginners, the teacher should be at least 15 kyu.

Finally, the lecturer should show some empathy with the students, and identify what will be important to them. If the students are 4 kyu, concentrate on the “4 kyu” mistakes, not on the “2 dan” mistakes and try to identify principles ( “why is this move wrong?”). A lesson that amounts to a succession of "in this position you play here” statements will not teach the students anything unless you can provide an explanation as to WHY one should play there.

Group Teaching

Teaching Beginners

The Organiser's Handbook contains some advice about Teaching Beginners, and some more detailed advice is available in a Guide (PDF).

Teaching experienced players

This section assumes a group of around 12 – 20 people, of a similar strength. The author has run a number of events aimed at an audience in the 6 - 12 kyu range.

The most important issues are to:-

  • is to take the teaching slowly,
  • have lots of breaks and
  • do not try to do too much
  • Remember that the audience are there to enjoy the event as well as to learn.

The timetable should have an absolute maximum of 4x1½ hour sessions (in a day); 4x1 hour sessions is recommended. A suitable timetable might be teaching sessions 10 – 11, 11:15 – 12:15, 13:15 to 14:15, 14:30 to 15:30. If players feel short-changed, let them play some Go between themselves.

The day should be planned and structured, and should use a mix of methods. The following are examples:

  • Playing through a professional game
  • Playing through a game provided by one of the participants
  • Study of a small corner
  • Study of a Joseki
  • Self-study (in groups) of a yose problem

These are discussed in more details, with tips and hints.

At the end of the day it is worthwhile having a “wrap-up” session, with feedback forms and a Q&A session.

Professional Game

When playing through a professional game, it is important to involve the audience. Stop frequently and ask the class “where would you play? And why?” (Make sure you have an answer). This is sometimes called “penny go" (get the audience to place a penny on the point they believe is best).

Do not get involved in the analysis of complicated fights. You do not understand them, and neither will the audience: even if you do understand them, the audience will not learn anything. If you get involved in one (and ideally you will have selected a game which does not involve a big fight) leave its analysis as homework.

Try to identify principles. For example, a good furikawari (exchange) can be used to show that professionals are flexible, and prepared to sacrifice territory and even stones, hence the class should take the same attitude: too many kyu players believe territory is something to be defended at all costs. Similarly professionals understand the importance of sente and gote (“professionals do not play gote”) and use this to emphasise the principle.

Ensure that you are in a position to quickly put the moves onto a demonstration board (or, better, do it electronically using a computer display) – the author ran into trouble once trying simultaneously to hold a laptop, operate a mouse and put stones onto a demonstration board.

Participants’ Games

Playing through a game provided by one of the class can be very rewarding, particularly as you should be able to understand the mistakes that are being made (and indeed, the rest of the class probably make similar mistakes). Ask the participants beforehand to send you some examples.

Otherwise the principles are the same as for a professional game.

Small Corner Analysis

The author likes to teach the “L Group” for the following reasons:-

  • it frequently occurs in games
  • the L group is the largest group that is unequivocally dead

so that if your corner is invaded, one object is to force your opponent to make an L Group). All self-respecting aspirants to 1 kyu should know that “the L Group is dead” and it is easy to explain.

Another possibility is the J Group, as this also frequently comes up in games.

Joseki Analysis

One can analyse a joseki but be careful – one should not simply analyse all the possible lines, but instead to use the joseki to identify some general principles. This will require a considerable amount of thought and preparation.

The author has run “Workshop” type teaching sessions, where players are put into groups of 3 or 4 and asked to solve a problem. I have tried it with a simple Yose problem (What is the best order of moves?). The problem MUST be simple – most Yose problems combine a “spot the tesuji” with a “sente or gote?” analysis: my advice is to avoid the requirement to spot tesuji and to concentrate on the sente/gote relationships.  Yose counting then comes naturally.

For this to work the problem must be simple enough. The main advantages are twofold:

  • it changes the format (getting away from the lecturing style)
  • it gives the lecturer a break

Newcastle Racecourse Guide

Welcome to our official guide to Newcastle Racecourse. We explore this busy flat and national hunt northern racecourse in detail, looking at its history, a guide to the tracks, the main races, top hotel picks, fixtures, travel information, betting guides and even the weather!

Newcastle Racecourse

Sport in the city of Newcastle is often linked to fanatical support of the local football team, however, this vibrant north-eastern hub has more to offer, though. Newcastle Racecourse, based in Gosforth Park, plays a prominent role in the UK’s racing calendar.

Founded on Gosforth Park, an 812-acre leafy area of Newcastle that also hosts two excellent golf courses, Newcastle Racecourse is a popular and UK racecourse.

With over 60 events held on the track each year, Newcastle is one of the busiest racecourses in the country. Somewhat fitting for an institution that has existed since 1882.

At the time of writing, Newcastle Racecourse boasts the only floodlit, all-weather straight mile track in British racing. Further planned developments and improvements have also been announced, with owners Arena Racing Company aiming to build more accommodation upon the land and provide further events and activities. As well as all-weather flat racing they also host excellent national hunt racing on the turf.

Newcastle Racecourse (Gosforth Park) is easily accessible from the city centre via public or private transport, and the wide array of events are sure to appeal to all tastes. The dress code is typically smart casual, though it always pays to research ahead of time as this can vary depending on the event.

History of Racing in Newcastle Upon Tyne

The North East of England has a long history with racing. Killingworth, a town located six miles north of Newcastle Upon Tyne, hosted race meets on behalf of King George II in the 18th Century.

Horse racing in Gosforth first took place in March 1882, the year that Newcastle Racecourse was officially opened. In September of the same year, the maiden race meeting of the course took place. Since then, the racecourse has experienced a range of peaks and troughs in popularity.

Newcastle Racecourse was struggling to make ends meet in the late 20th Century. After a brief high in the 1970s – especially the Fighting Fifth Hurdle of 1975, which is widely regarded as an all-time classic race due to a tight, three-way finish – local interest in the sport began to dwindle.

This was rectified in 1994 when Newcastle Racecourse was purchased by Northern Racing. The company was chaired by Sir Stanley Clarke, a noted and respected philanthropist and horse trainer. Investment was made to modernise the course, restoring Newcastle Racecourse to the hearts and minds of equestrian enthusiasts across the region and rest of the UK.

Another substantial change in fortunes arrived in 2002. David Williamson took on the role of managing director this year and had a significant impact on the financial affairs of the course. Over a six-year period, Williamson managed to more than double Newcastle Racecourse’s turnover, lifting annual takings from £2.5m to £6.5m.

Williamson also introduced key dates of the Newcastle Racecourse calendar, including Ladies Day, and has been credited with boosting the city of Newcastle’s economy thanks to his innovations. He also successfully promoted and elevated established events such as the Northumberland Plate and Fighting Fifth Hurdle. Williamson moved on in 2008, after being headhunted by Newcastle United FC. The last substantial change to Newcastle Racecourse occurred in 2016, when the track became an all-weather venue. Further developments on the site are planned, however, so watch this space.

Main Races and Meetings

The Northumberland Plate, held in June, is the oldest, biggest and arguably the most prestigious event at Newcastle Racecourse. This meet is also known as, “The Pitmen’s Derby” as the first event, held in 1883, was declared a day’s holiday for pit employees so they could attend.

Aside from the Northumberland Plate, other notable events in the Newcastle Racecourse diary include:

  • Eider Chase (February) – a tough staying race ran over fences and over 4 miles and half a furlong.
  • Burradon Stakes (March) – a listed race for 3-year-olds ran over 1 mile.
  • Chipchase Stake (June) – a Group 3 flat race ran over 6 furlongs.
  • Ladies Day (June) – the last Saturday of every July, is a glitzy and glam event.
  • Fighting Fifth Hurdle (November) – a Grade 1 national hunt hurdles race over 2 miles, which has been won by many greats over the years.

Newcastle All Weather Track

Newcastle’s flat track is now an is an all-weather track, boasting the only aw straight mile course in the country. The surface is Tapeta and is the same as that at Chelmsford Racecourse and Wolverhampton Racecourse. The last furlong and a half is uphill, so stamina at the required trips are needed.

Newcastle Jumps Course

Courtesy of At The Races.

Newcastle’s jump racing course is a left-handed, galloping track with a steady climb from the home turn. There’s a clear emphasis on jumping over fences, as they are regarded as being stiff. It is widely acknowledged that a position towards the stand rail in the home straight can be an advantage in hurdles races so you will see many jockeys head over and try to bag that position from entering the home straight.

Newcastle Racecourse Address

The official correspondence address of Newcastle Upon Tyne Racecourse is:

Newcastle Racecourse
High Gosforth Park
Newcastle upon Tyne

How to Get To Newcastle Races

Newcastle Racecourse is located around 15 miles from the city centre. This makes it comparatively simple to reach, whether travelling by road, rail or air.

  • By car–  if driving to the track point your SatNav to Gosforth Park, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE3 5HP . This will bring you into the proximity of the racecourse. For your own protection, it’s best to rely on signposts once you’re in the vicinity, though. Directions are clearly posted with traditional brown-and-white tourist board signs along all key roads, including the A1 and A19.
  • Train – if you’re taking the train, Newcastle Central Station is the main railway station. From here you could take a taxi straight to the racecourse from outside the station. This will cost around £10 and the journey takes about 15 minutes. Another alternative could be to change trains and arrive in the Regent Centre Metro Station. This is just two miles from the racecourse, with free shuttle services operating on race days.
  • Bus – public bus services also run from Haymarket Bus Station, in the shape of route numbers 43 and 44. These will drop you right outside the racecourse, but Haymarket is a 15-minute walk from Newcastle Central Station. Taking a taxi straight to the venue is a more efficient use of your time if you arrive in the city by rail.
  • Air – flying is also an option if you’re travelling from afar. Newcastle International Airport is found around six miles away from the racecourse, and you’ll find no shortage of taxis outside the airport.

Hotels Near Newcastle Racecourse

If you’re planning an overnight or weekend-long trip to Newcastle Racecourse and Newcastle Upon Tyne in general there are a range of excellent options to consider, the Grand Hotel Gosforth Park should be your first port of call. This hotel is located within half a mile of the venue.

As you can probably imagine, this makes the Grand Hotel a popular choice. If this accommodation is fully booked, there are other options nearby.  Gosforth also boasts a Holiday Inn and a Premier Inn within 2.5 miles of Newcastle Racecourse.

If you’re seeking a more lavish experience – and have the budget to match – head a little further away. Jesmond Dene House is a luxury hotel, located 2.5 miles from the racecourse. For a full range of options to suit all budgets we suggest checking out below.

Best Newcastle Races Betting Sites

At British Racecourses we often recommend betting online and via apps. This is because you can often get the best odds, great offers when signing up and you can place bets quickly and safely without having to queue.

If you are looking to bet online we recommend the following great deals – simply follow the links for more information:

Newcastle Racecourse Weather

Punters and race-goers love to keep up with the weather to predict going conditions, as well as making sure what they wear is suitable. Here’s the current weather forecast for Newcastle Upon Tyne:

Other Events at the Course

Like any reputable racecourse, Newcastle Racecourse also offers additional entertainment. Live music is a semi-frequent occurrence, often tied in with a noteworthy racing meet.

The Pussycat Dolls and Jack Savoretti are slated to perform in 2020, while the dog days of summer will also see a celebration of dance music in the form of Summertime Live, headlined by Classic Ibiza.

Newcastle Racecourse is also available for private hire, should anybody be interested in holding a party, conference or celebration on the grounds.

Newcastle Race

Summary – Newcastle Racecourse Guide

Newcastle Racecourse, in the ground of  Gosforth Park, is a stunning and historic racecourse that is known for high-quality racing including the Northumberland Plate and Fighting Fifth Hurdle. Boasting both an all-weather flat racing course and tough national hunt track, it hosts racing throughout the year. The quality, great customer service and sense of fun makes it one of the most popular courses in the country. It is a course we love at British Racecourses!

Clinique - Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skin - Swatches

I have swatches of some of the brand new Clinique range today! Click the jump for pics and info

The new range from Clinique is designed especially for sensitive skin, and according to the press release, has been six years in the making and is formulated to minimise skin sensitivity. I have to admit I have no idea whether Clinique has ever made polish before or whether this is a completely new venture!

The permanent collection consists of 12 colours, and there is a further 9 limited edition colours for Summer 2013.

Hula Skirt (limited edition) is a light green creme. I found this to leave bald spots on the first coat, but adding further coats fixed it. I used 3 thin coats.

Call My Buff (permanent collection) is a very sheer off-white jelly. I wouldn't use this on it's own due to the visible nail line, but it's probably going to be great for jelly sandwiches! The formula is great and spreads easily. I used 3 thick coats.

Red Red Red (permanent collection) is a classic red jelly. I should apologise for the bad pictures, my camera and lighting set up HATES reds! Almost as much as I hate reds! It appears a little darker in real life. Again the formula is good here, I used 2 coats but 1 would have been enough.

Strappy Sandals (limited edition) is a silver foil, and looks in the bottle like a lot of other silver foils I own, but on my nails it actually looks a lot nicer...there's no visible brush strokes and it's super sparkly and bright! I love the name too.

I admit I was a little underwhelmed by the colours, but I can't fault the formula, apart from a little trouble with Hula Skirt. I love the flat brush too as it makes for much neater application, and I love the minimalist, classy bottles. I'm undecided whether I would buy any myself, although some of the colours in the limited edition summer collection look like they could be nice!

I've never really given much thought to nail polish being bad for the skin before and I've never seen a range for sensitive skin either. Has nail polish ever damaged your skin? I'm quite intrigued by this!

Exclusively online at www.clinique.co.uk from April 25th
Nationwide at Clinique counters from May 31st
Priced at £12 each

  1. They aren't the best colours I've ever seen. I like Call my bluff, not so sure about the rest though x

  2. Call my buff is a little disappointing, if only it was more opaque. My favourite outta these is strappy sandals! So cute.

    >> International 750 Follower Giveaway Here<<
    BreezeyBee Blog

  3. I have incredibly sensitive skin and I have never found a polish that damages my skin before, so I find it odd that Clinique have brought out this range x

  4. its nice to have some color staples that have great formulas and are even easy on the skin!

  5. I have had a reaction to nail polish before (for me it was Models Own), I blogged about it: http://joeyannenails.wordpress.com/2013/03/11/allergies-stupid-allergies/

    Since then I've stuck to 3 free polishes which are generally fine, though I do still get an occasional reaction (swollen lips, and dry flaky skin around nose, mouth and eyes). I've used Clinique skin care and make up for a number of years and am looking forward to trying the nail polish. I had a chat with one of the sales reps yesterday who was really helpful and explained how Clinique pulled their previous nail polishes off the market because they couldn't guarantee they were suitable for those with sensitive skin, and had spent years researching a new formula for these.

    1. That's interesting! Thanks for replying!

  6. I really like the colour of Strappy Sandals!

  7. I've recently found that my eye lids kept getting rashy and itchy and didnt understand why! But have linked it to when i paint my nails! So it definitely is a thing! I'm really excited about trying this range out!!

I appreciate all comments, but please do not leave links. Thank you! :)

"The perfect apple primer." —Splendid Table

The Apple Lover’s Cookbook is more than a recipe book. It’s a celebration of apples in all their incredible diversity, as well as an illustrated guide to 70 popular (and rare-but-worth-the-search) apple varieties. Each has its own complete biography with entries for best use, origin, availability, season, appearance, taste, and texture. Amy Traverso organizes these 70 varieties into four categories—firm-tart, tender-tart, firm-sweet, and tender-sweet—and includes a one-page cheat sheet that you can refer to when making any of her recipes.

More than 100 scrumptious, easy-to-make recipes follow, offering the full range from breakfast dishes, appetizers, salads, soups, and entrees all the way to desserts. On the savory side, there’s a cider-braised brisket and a recipe for Sweet Potato–Apple Latkes. On the sweet side, Amy serves up crisps, cobblers, pies, and cakes, including Apple-Pear Cobbler, Cider Donut Muffins, and an Apple-Cranberry Slab Pie cut into squares to eat by hand.

As bonuses, The Apple Lover’s Cookbook contains detailed notes on how to tell if an apple is fresh and guides to apple festivals, ciders, and products, as well as updated information about the best times and places to buy apples across the United States, making it easy to seek out and visit local orchards, whether you live in Vermont or California.

First published a decade ago, now newly revised and updated, The Apple Lover’s Cookbook is your lifetime go-to book for apples.

A lifelong apple lover, Amy Traverso is the senior food editor at Yankee magazine and cohost of public television's Weekends with Yankee. Previously, she was food editor at Boston magazine and an associate food editor at Sunset magazine. She has appeared on Hallmark Home & Family, The Martha Stewart Show, Throwdown with Bobby Flay, and Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

Wallet & phone ringing feature

When was the last time you couldn't find your wallet? Even if it turned up a few minutes later, that one instant of panic was probably awful. What makes it worse is the growing importance of our everyday carry items; if you lose your phone, you lose all your data. You lose your wallet, you lose your access to banks, public transportation, the gym (and you're exposed to fraud, to boot). And while you can always back up your phone on the cloud, you can't do that to your wallet. Being only human, there's not a lot you can do to avoid losing your stuff; but you can make it easier to find.

We’ve made it our mission to design a  tracker that isn’t just small enough to fit into anything, but also smart enough to take your voice commands. It allows you to track your valuables in long ranges through a global lost-and-found community, or close ranges through a vibrant ring that helps you locate it easily through an app. Our Key tracker includes an LED light which flashes once you ring it, allowing you to spot it even in the darkest of corners.

Thanks to our patented integration, our solar panels don't even require direct sunlight. This solar charging is so efficient that a simple three-hour charge lasts two months. In fact, this system works so well that it’s now being used by FedEx to track their own packages. We went back into the lab and created a battery that not only slims down the tracker but also lasts twice as long with use. Other trackers on the market require you to switch out the batteries each month; ours just uses the sun.

Being able to command your wallet by voice makes tracking even easier than flipping through different apps buried on your phone. Our products are compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so you can speak a command into your phone and have your tracker pulled up on a map the instant you realize your wallet's missing. It's difficult to think clearly if you're panicking, and this feature is designed to mitigate that moment of anxiety. You don’t even need a smart speaker to use this feature; just use voice command on either of the two apps. Find your wallet without having to move from your cosy spot on the couch, completely hands-free.

    6 Tips for Creating a Long-Term Business Strategy

    • Updated: Wednesday 16th of September 2020
    • Strategy

    Businesses are easier to start but harder to sustain. With changing economic conditions, political alterations, technological advancements and growing competition, staying afloat can become a challenge. Thus every entrepreneur needs to build a long-term strategy for expansion, scaling and gaining market leadership in the future. Without a roadmap, it is impossible to accomplish business growth. With defined goals and a well laid out strategy to achieve them, entrepreneurs can easily create a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

    They can make the entire organisation work in cohesion while maintaining consistency by following the same plan. Thus if you are looking to invest in a business for sale in New Zealand, then you must ensure that you have devised an effective long-term strategy that will take you to the next level. So here are a few tips that will help you to steer your business on the path of growth with a well-planned approach.

    1. Define Your Short and Long-Term Goals

    The business owner must have a vision for the company, which should be achievable. Thus begin your long-term business strategy with the creation of the vision and mission statements. These should be communicated to all the employees and must reflect in your marketing messages. It will allow the consumers to understand the purpose of the company. It helps in giving a direction to the business and creating milestones that need to be covered to reach the final destination.

    The plan must have checkpoints for the next three, five, and ten years with future forecasting and defined performance measurement parameters. The short-term goals must be aligned with the long-term business strategy. The focus of the workforce should be on the execution of the plan and their KPIs should be created in accordance with the company goals.

    2. Understand Your Business Thoroughly

    For the preparation of a long-term business strategy, you need to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of your company. Buying an existing business makes you an outsider who may not have in-depth knowledge about all the aspects of the company. Therefore, the owner must go through every detail of the venture and understand the threats and the opportunities available to the business. It will help in setting goals after analysing factual data and knowledge.

    Thus you will have to conduct comprehensive research on creating viable goals that have an execution plan and help in strengthening the bottom-line. Determine the things that need to be changed and leverage organisational development to make the company grow as a group. It should be focussed on continuously improving its processes and working cohesively to move forward.

    3. Adapt With Changing External Environment

    Another significant part of planning is flexibility. The digital age has brought forth several technological breakthroughs which have revolutionised the way businesses function. From cloud-based accounting software to social media marketing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) supported machines, companies have transformed their work mechanism over the years.

    Thus the long-term strategy must have room for such changes and should emphasise on adopting the latest and up-to-date technology to stay ahead. For instance, it must cover how the business will survive during an unprecedented crisis, such as a survival guide for business during COVID-19. The entrepreneur must think ahead and include everything in the plan that can affect profits and growth.

    4. Find The Right Support For Growth

    If the strategy involves improving your customer reviews and ratings in the first year, then you need an efficient digital marketing team to handle the project. Similarly, you need to acquire the right people, equipment, stock, and funds to get things done. These support items for short-term goals should have a written plan of their own.

    For example, for better online positioning, you need to create a digital marketing strategy that should include the development of an immersive website, posting engaging content on all digital channels, and utilising social media platforms to stay connected with your target audience. It should have a specific timeline and budget so that its effectiveness can be measured after its completion. You must hire and train your employees according to these business requirements.

    5. Don’t Lose Sight of The Mission

    Beginning with short-term goals should not take away your attention from the mission of the business. The end result should work as the driving force to stay motivated and keep the workforce focussed on their goals. The best way to ensure this is to make the goals SMART, which stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. You should have an action plan that should be executed professionally by your staff and must be relevant to your company’s core values and should be completed in the specified timelines.

    With a meticulous approach, it becomes effortless to stay fixed on your ambition. The sales and marketing budget should be prepared as per the needs of these goals and should be aligned to them. For example, if the short-term goal is to increase the customer base, then the sales and marketing plans should follow suit.

    6. Review and Reassess Your Strategy

    The short-term goals and the long-term mission may have to be adjusted according to their progress. For example, if you are still away from gaining a 5% market share, then you will have to increase the timeline and funding for the goal. However, it should be done only if the project is generating profits and moving towards the goal. If the initial assessment displays complete failure or producing lacklustre results, then you should change the plan and set a realistic goal with an achievable execution. The entrepreneur should feel responsible and passionate about the strategy.

    Also, to stay on the right track, he must follow the guidance of a veteran who can act as a mentor. He can offer his industry knowledge and use his acumen to offer insightful advice and recommendations. A mentor can help you become accountable.

    Several passionate individuals plan to realise their entrepreneurial dream by acquiring a profitable business for sale in New Zealand. However, they need to create a long-term business strategy to survive in a highly competitive marketplace.

FORMER SEC CHAIRMAN: Goldman Should Stop Saying It Puts Customers First Because Nobody Really Puts Customers First

Arthur Levitt

Photo: BloombergTV screenshot

In the wake of the infamous Greg Smith op-ed, former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt, who serves as a senior policy advisor for Goldman Sachs, told Bloomberg TV’s Erik Schatzker on “Inside Track” that Goldman should stop saying it puts customers first because no one really puts customers first.”You know enough about the media to know that when a story like this percolates and a Greg Smith comes up — and he comes up not just here but in Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley — it raises to a level that’s beyond its merits. Greg Smith was there for a number of years – why did he surface just recently? I don’t think that determines the fate of the company. I personally believe that something that’s awfully important — we talk about putting customers first — I think we probably ought to stop saying that. Nobody really puts customers first. Business is a tension between sellers and buyers. That tension always exists.”
