Leave a Replay Content: Tariffs can hurt domestic manufacturers who source materials from abroad. Manufacturers sometimes need to source parts and materials from abroad. If a domestic manufacturer finds a cheap overseas supplier for a particular component, this can significantly reduce its production costs. Put a tariff on imports of this component, and production costs will rise. In some situations, this could result in domestic manufacturers being unable to compete with foreign manufacturers. If there’s a tariff on imports of leather, but not shoes, domestic shoemakers will be hurt by this. Tariffs can also hurt domestic manufacturers who export goods. If the US places tariffs on imports of goods that are typically imported from China, China will retaliate by imposing tariffs goods that are typically imported from the US. US exporters will, therefore, represent a less attractive option for Chinese importers. How Do Tariffs Affect Retailers?

Governments will also sometimes impose tariffs on specific types of imports to stimulate activity among emerging industries. For example, a company that is developing cutting edge technology might be unable to compete with cheaper imports from overseas. The government might feel that the country would benefit if this domestic industry was given a chance to develop. Companies operating in new industries that have not been targeted in this way will face the same harms and benefits as companies in other industries.

Tariffs typically hurt domestic consumers (short term). Tariffs can impose costs on domestic retailers. They may need to (or choose to) pass these costs onto their customers. If a US retailer once paid $110 for imported TVs and, due to tariffs, they must now pay $125, it may be able to absorb this extra cost.

Consumers can benefit from this protection.

If the US signs a free trade agreement with Indonesia, imports from Indonesia will go down in price. It may be more cost-effective to close the US factories and import the parts from Indonesia instead. This means US workers lose their jobs. Tariffs can harm domestic workers. Of course, if a business is hurt by tariffs, its employees will feel the pain too. Therefore, imposing tariffs can backfire – or hurt some employees while benefiting others.

Title: Women in the Workforce - The Progressive Era and Women's Reform Headings: The Progressive Era and Women's Reform Content: Women in the Workforce - The Progressive Era and Women's Reform The Progressive Era and Women's Reform Working women during the early 20th century experienced a new era of both industry, and government. As the century began the progressive era was born. Changes in this time were brought about by political, social, and governmental reform. Women found prosperity in the work place through union institutions. Among these institutions the main contributions came from organizations such as The Women’s Trade Union League of New York (WTUL), and the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU). These Unions were created both by the workers themselves as well as the government institutions that supported them. “ The role of women reformers who were hired by the government agencies and charged with overseeing in certain industries became abundant.” [ 2] This was a time when “economic expansion produced millions of new jobs and brought an unprecedented array of goods within reach of American consumers.” 1 For women this was truly one of the first times that work outside of traditional stereotypical roles was established. The amount of women in the workforce sharply rose as well as the type of work.

The amount of women in the workforce sharply rose as well as the type of work. For instance the number of “female clerical workers, for example, increased from 2.6 percent in 1870 to 37.7 percent in 1910.” 2 Additionally the most shocking statistic is that the amount of women that became telephone operators, “99 percent of them were women by 1918.” [ 2] The technological advancement of the age induced many more job opportunities during the era. Another main facet of the changing work environment during the time came in the form of a natural disaster. The infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911.

In particular it meant that working conditions in ‘more than 300 firms” had been changed due to the ILGWU [1]. Although many unions and organization during the time were unfortunately able successfully able to alter the major industry atrocities generated by unregulated business, many industries were able to bend the regulations. For instance industry owners sought after women because they could take advantage of the fact that women had lower wages. [

Additionally women who tried to achieve higher positions in factories met opposition. “ Thus the women who sought to expand their opportunities for employment in the early twentieth century faced double opposition-from hostile male co-workers and from well-meaning but perhaps misguided women reformers.” [ 5] Conclusively throughout the progressive era many changes occurred. These were largely fueled by unionist organizations such as the ILGWU, and WTUL.

As a lasting monument toward these organizations many of the equal rights conditions set precedents for further humane conditions in our current time.

The information gathering techniques are repeated processes that are used to create and organize data across different kinds of sources. There are four types of information gathering techniques as follows: Brainstorming: This method is used to get a list of all project lists. All ideas are generated with the help of a facilitator through an open discussion and mass interviewing techniques. Commonly, the brainstorming technique can be done during a scheduled meeting with peers, individual brainstorming, or even at an informal meeting. Delphi technique: This technique in project management requires the presence of a facilitator that gives out questionnaires to solicit different ideas.

Title: What is Social Equity? – Project: Human City Headings: What is Social Equity? What is Social Equity? Like this: Content: But at P: HC we don’t think that’s enough. At P: HC, we strive to advance the idea of social equity and to develop the principle in more and more aspects of our lives. People often strive and protest for equality, but equity is the more important idea to embrace. The definition of social equity that we got from the web sounds a lot like equality. Equality seeks to make everyone equal, equity, on the other hand, seeks to address the underlying and systemic differences of opportunity and access to social resources. This is more important because we aren’t all the same, some people need more help than others. By living together, we have made the commitment to help those in need, to lift each other up; this is the base idea of any country, collective solidarity.

At P: HC, developing this concept is so important because we live in a world where we are constantly attacked, not just from actual attacks but acts of division. Acts that further fractionalize and divide what should be a global community of humans, we are a victim of the illusion of difference. This illusion makes us rationalize the social divide that we all are a victim to and accept it as normalcy when, in fact, it is a malady.

Title: What is Social Equity? – Project: Human City Headings: What is Social Equity? What is Social Equity? Like this: Content: When we define social equity, we believe that is: “social equity is the economic, legal, environmental, and developmental rights of access to the collective resources of society with an all-encompassing effort by means of equal say and insight of all members of society to ensure the longevity of the collective resources and to enrich the individual lives of community members as indivisible, equal inter-respectively, and as mutually comparable pinnacles to the direction of the community and individual members in respect of need and right to access and recognition.” This means that individuals of a society should be entitled to the resources of the community so that they as individuals can thrive without comprising the resource that the whole community depends on. We’re going to look at this in specific aspects of society and its deeper meaning: Education – all societies thrive because they can share, retain and collect knowledge. This means that knowledge is a collective asset of society and should be fairly distributed and offered to all members of society. When understanding equity, it is important to address education as an opportunity to fix social stratification and the differences that occur in everyone’s life. This means addressing each learner as entitled to learn, that their education should be developed to optimize their lives and potential by complementing and augmenting their shortcomings. We often neglect this in society through disproportional allocations of educational resources which further perpetuates social stratification and economic class division. Justice – Real legal justice is often forfeited when a society has systemically oppressed and disadvantaged a specific segment of the population.

Justice – Real legal justice is often forfeited when a society has systemically oppressed and disadvantaged a specific segment of the population. I don’t have to specify a specific case of this because it happens in every society. It’s wrong. Ingrained bias, coupled with the unequal access to opportunity only further negative social behaviour from the oppressed group. Equitable justice looks past the surface and understands the context the circumstances of social inequality and offers those disadvantaged real arbitrations and rehabilitation practices equal to that of peers in other social segments. The difference of like sentencing and overall legal treatment is often indicative of social injustice in a society and is the first step to solving it.

Like this: Content: No market will become unattractive to corporations if societies reinforce their rights, Nordic countries are a good example, but the standard can continue to raise the level of expectation on corporate policy and operation. Developmental – This is the more progressive and less noted aspect of equity in society as it strikes at the difference in our individual ability to live fulfilling lives. Developmental Equity looks to aide and prop-up people that have been disadvantaged by the context of life and ability. This type of disparity is often understood and accommodated in our educational institutions, but once people who are developmentally or otherwise disadvantaged are subject to discrimination, stigma and social neglect in the accommodation of their need. We need to see this type of equity to encompass every condition that is impeding to our ability to live, not simply a laundry list of conditions. Developmental equity looks not only to assure the consideration of these individuals into society but to actively provide this diverse population with the things and opportunities needed to live rewarding and meaningful lives within society. One might note that we haven’t defined and specified identity equity. Identity equity is to acknowledge racial and social population segments for their histories and particular struggle in society. This kind of equity can only breed more social division, it’s not that it’s wrong to champion the causes of these populations. If we as a society, strive for the economic, environmental, judicial and educational rights with this understanding of social equity, we are consciously addressing this social issue.

When a large enough segment of the population is disadvantaged by one or two areas of these equity factors, it is easy to discard the validity or right of another factor that doesn’t directly affect us but is made prevalent. This is the cycle of the social conversation, and sometimes it doesn’t align with the current public need. Instead, it creates problems with the idea of social equity and understanding. Both these issues are the seeds of social division that keep us from progress.

You may be wondering, “ What does it mean to be resilient?” Resilience is the process of thriving through adversity, trauma or stress. It is not something that you are born with. Rather, it is a trait that can be developed over time. In her book, Supernormal: The Untold Story of Adversity And Resilience, Meg Jay says that, “What I like about the word ‘supernormal' is it hints at how heroic that is — that it takes a lot of courage to go out there and rise above your circumstances or rise above the events that have happened to you.” It's not the events of life that matter, but rather the meaning that we create from those events. Whether or not you create an empowering or disempowering meaning from hard times in your life is entirely up to you.

RELATIONSHIP ALIGNMENT: Are You Truly Aligned With Your Lover? Watch the video below: Do you know what relationship alignment looks like? Life is too short for that. Let's explore 3 things that you can do in order to become more aligned with your partner. 1. Know What Their Love Language Is 2. Show Compassion For Moments When They Seem Out Of Alignment 3. Have an Agreement On Your Vision, Values and Core Beliefs Relationship alignment is the foundation for long-term happiness and fulfillment. ABOUT STEFAN JAMES Content: When you accept this and have compassion for someone else's feelings, it allows for more open communication and vulnerability to take place in your relationship. 3. Have an Agreement On Your Vision, Values and Core Beliefs Our values shape our lives; they dictate how we speak, the decisions that we make, and inevitably, the people that we surround ourselves with. When you go against your values, every fiber of your being knows that you have. You only end up feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. This is no way to live. If your vision in life is to be an Internet entrepreneur and travel the world, but your partner's vision is to become a lawyer, buy a house, and stay in one place, eventually, you will be pursuing two separate visions. This example reflects a clear misalignment of values between two people. When it comes to your most important values, you need to be growing in the same direction as your partner.

In the words of Abraham Hicks, “When you find alignment, the conditions won't matter.” Relationship alignment is the foundation for long-term happiness and fulfillment. Do the groundwork to make sure that you know what is important to you in a partner, and then commit to having an honest conversation with someone at the beginning of your relationship. Tell your lover what you need and ensure that you know what they need as well. Understanding how your values align or don't align with someone will allow you to build a healthy and long-lasting relationship with them, or it will encourage you to move on and find someone who shares the same values as you do.

Title: Headings: Important Issues in our Farrowing Department Representing: TDM Farms Presenting: Erick Soza Supporting: Steve Smith, Dr. Carolina Sernia Introduction ·The main function of the farrowing department is to meet weekly weaning targets. ·Saving as many pigs as possible and supporting their growth is a primary function. ·Proper care of sows immediately contributes to saving and growing good pigs. ·However, proper sow care also insures that the sow will be there to do well on subsequent farrowings. Sow Acclimation Piglets Processing Sow Management Question 2: What do you do if a sow becomes constipated? Question 3: Should pigs be fed creep feed before weaning? Question 4:What temperature is appropriate for the mat under the heat lamp Question 5: How do you induce farrowing using prostaglandins (LutalyseTM or ProstamateTM)? Question 7: How do you use oxytocin to aid a sow during a difficult farrowing? Question 10: Is cross-fostering beneficial? Question 14: How can you prevent sows from discharging after farrowing? Question 17: What can be done to increase the birth weight of piglets? Conclusion - Although the farrowing department must meet weekly targets for number weaned, proper sow care assures sow productivity and the capability of achieving future weanings with adequate pig numbers. Content: · If you see signs of discharges after the last pig is pulled, initiate one of the following treatments: - Penicillin G procaine, BP 48, or Gallimycin 200 for three consecutive days - If the discharge is severe, you can use ¼ to ½ cc oxytocin each day. Question 15: Why is it necessary to give iron at birth? · Pigs are born with a limited store of iron (approximately 50 mg) · Piglets use about 7-11 mg/day of iron · Sow milk does not contain adequate iron. · Piglets get about 1 mg per day from sow milk · Piglets can easily run out of iron in a week to 10 days Question 16: What causes the joint of piglets to become infected and how are they best treated? · Swollen joints are usually an infection that is causing arthritis - Some bacteria, like Strep suis, colonize the piglet’s body during birth - These piglets carry the bacteria in their tonsils and mouth - Open navels, cut tail stumps, castration wounds, injured gums from needle teeth trimming, and other skin lesion provide entry sites for bacteria - Septicemia (bacteria traveling in the blood) occurs quickly after bacterial entry - The blood carries bacteria to the joints where they locate and infect - Multiple joint infections occur when pigs have bacteria in their blood stream - Pigs with swollen joints have retarded growth and are often culled in the nursery or finisher · Common bacteria: Step suis, Other Strep, Hemophilus parasuis, Some Staph, and a type of Mycoplasma, and occasionally erysipelas · The best medications are the antibiotic shown by testing to be effective against the particular infection found in the pigs.

But they are occurring regularly in a growing number of venues, leaving a trail of mass destruction that emotionally outweighs their numbers. According to The Violence Project, nearly all mass shooters have four things in common: Early childhood trauma and exposure to violence at a young age An identifiable grievance or crisis point Have studied the actions of past shooters and seek validation for their methods and motives The means to carry out an attack Number of shooters by age Years old The average age for a mass shooter was 34 years old. The youngest was 11 years old, and the oldest was 70. Where mass shooters killed The past decade has seen an increase in mass shootings in a variety of settings. This troubling trend has prompted a debate among proprietors, school administrators and religious leaders about the need to balance openness and inclusiveness with physical security measures. Number of mass shootings by location Current or former workplaces of perpetrators were the most common sites for mass shootings. Most of the shooters had been fired.

Densley said a prevention strategy for businesses could include ways for managers to intervene with employees before a tragedy occurs. Almost all of mass shooters at restaurants, bars and retail establishments were strangers to those businesses, while perpetrators in workplaces, houses of worship, and schools and colleges tended to be current or former students and insiders known to the victims. Densley believes shielding students with bulletproof backpacks and guiding them through lockdown drills, though useful, could also prove ineffectual when nearly all K-12, and college and university shooters are insiders, and likely familiar with the layout of a building and current safety policy. Multiple profiles A one-size-fits-all profile of a mass shooter is nonexistent. Mass shooters have several profiles, unique to where a shooting occurred.

He had a criminal record and a history of violence, and used handguns or assault rifles he legally owned. In schools K-12, the mass shooter was a suicidal white male student of the school with a history of trauma. He leaked his premeditated plan before the shooting, and most often used multiple guns stolen from a family member. By contrast, the typical shooter at a college or university was a suicidal, non-white male student of the institution with a history of childhood trauma.

Densley suggests prevention plans for all of these types of shooters should include domestic violence programs, the disruption of online hate groups and Extreme Risk Protection Orders, also known as red flag laws. Under these laws, police and family members can petition courts to temporarily remove weapons from people who may present a danger to themselves and others. Female shooters Of the 171 mass shooters studied, only three were women. In one case, the woman acted in partnership with a man. While the difference in numbers between female and male mass shooters is stark, it was represented in all U.S. homicides in which 80% to 90% of offenders in a given year were men. There are few statistics on female perpetrators of homicide, but those that are available help to explain why women tend not to commit mass shootings. According to a U.S. Justice Department report that looked at U.S. homicide trends from 1980 to 2008, women who committed murder almost always killed someone they know, and 58% of the time, they killed a significant other or immediate family member, compared to only 18% for male killers. Women committed just 6% of all murders with multiple victims. The circumstances and means of killing also differed between men and women.

Drug- and gang-related killings tended to be committed by men. When women killed, they were less likely to use firearms and more likely to use other means, such as poison or arson, the report said. Childhood trauma Thirty-nine percent of mass shooters experienced early childhood trauma and exposure to violence at a young age. This includes at least one of the following: physical or sexual abuse, neglect, witnessing domestic violence in the household, having a parent who committed suicide or being the victim of bullying.

Fifteen people were killed and 31 others injured. Since then, eight more mass shootings have occurred on college campuses through 2019 — the majority of them taking place in the past 15 years. Mass shootings are defined by the Congressional Research Service as having four or more victims. In 2007, Virginia Polytechnic Institute became the scene of the deadliest mass shooting on a U.S. campus when a 23-year-old student of the school killed 32 people and injured 26 others on the campus located in Blacksburg, Virginia. The perpetrator, who had a history of mental health issues, committed suicide. The shooting at Virginia Tech received widespread media attention, and remains the third-most-deadly mass shooting in the United States.

Title: Propaganda - Animal Farm by George Orwell - A Representation of the Russian Revolution Headings: Animal Farm by George Orwell - A Representation of the Russian Revolution LINKING PROPAGANDA TO ANIMAL FARM Propaganda How Propaganda is represented in animal Farm (Represented by the three Main pigs) WHY DID ORWELL REPRESENT PROPAGANDA THIS WAY? WAS ORWELL SUCCESSFUL? BIBLIOGRAPHY Content: WAS ORWELL SUCCESSFUL? Orwell was successful because propaganda was effectively used by Squealer and Napoleon to show the readers its bad sides. Propaganda has been used at appropriate times throughout the novel, such as when the animals start to think about Napoleon as a bad leader, to show the power of propaganda and its use. In addition, the reaction of the animals to the propaganda used is clearly expressed to show propaganda's effects on how we believe, think about or view a certain idea, opinion or thought.

Title: How Do Cities Grow? Headings: Content: How Do Cities Grow? Skip to main content Skip to primary sidebar Skip to footer PropertyMetrics Menu Home Blog Products Menu Proforma Software Publisher Software Courses Sign In Menu Software Login Courses Login Contact Us Build a Proforma Last Updated on January 25, 2018 By Kimberly Goodwin, Ph.D. Leave a Comment How Do Cities Grow? One of the fundamental requirements of a market analysis is the ability to understand the economics of the location. In order to fully understand the value that a property in its current or planned use brings to a market, one must consider the economics of urban growth patterns as well as the overall market activity and health of the area. Both the current value and forecasted trends in rent, property value, and vacancy depend upon an understanding of how cities grow and how those urban development trends ultimately influence real estate values throughout the city. Of course, cities can grow in many different ways and understanding the patterns of urban growth can help clarify the big picture in a real estate analysis. In this post we’ll discuss several different urban growth models that are commonly used to explain the growth patterns of cities. Concentric Circle Growth in Urban Development The concentric circle growth model, or CCD model, was one of the first theoretical models of urban development. A sociologist named Ernest Burgess first developed this model in 1925. The urban development patterns in Chicago were the inspiration for the concentric circle growth model.

Headings: Content: Of course, cities can grow in many different ways and understanding the patterns of urban growth can help clarify the big picture in a real estate analysis. In this post we’ll discuss several different urban growth models that are commonly used to explain the growth patterns of cities. Concentric Circle Growth in Urban Development The concentric circle growth model, or CCD model, was one of the first theoretical models of urban development. A sociologist named Ernest Burgess first developed this model in 1925. The urban development patterns in Chicago were the inspiration for the concentric circle growth model. Concentric circle growth starts with a central business district at the heart of the city. Everything grows up around this central hub of economic activity for the city. The concentric circle growth model is an application of bid-rent theory. Those who are able to pay the highest rents are located near the economic hub of the central business district. Real estate prices are lower as you move away from the central business district, but then people also need to consider transportation time and costs to get to work in the central business district.

Although widespread car ownership led to the development of business activity outside of the central business district, the basic idea of this model still holds true in large urban areas. It is also important to note, however, that topography and geography can prohibit growth of the concentric circles in a given direction. For example, Chicago’s growth is limited to the east because of Lake Michigan. Mountains, oceans, and large rivers can also limit growth in a particular direction. The first zone in the concentric circle growth model is the city’s central business district.

The first zone in the concentric circle growth model is the city’s central business district. This is the area that is the center of economic activity in the city, and most people work in this zone. The land here has the highest value and earns the highest economic returns. Much of the development in this area is in the form of high-rise office buildings and skyscrapers necessary to meet the needs of a high population density. The availability of residential property in this zone is highly limited due to the exceptionally high cost of real estate. As a result, luxury apartments serve the wealthiest segment of the population.

Title: A Practical Guide to Understanding Zoning Laws Headings: Content: Of course, because the growth of a city takes a little longer than a road trip across the U.S., comprehensive plans look long-term. Like five to 20 years long-term. To create such plans a city considers what it wants regarding land use (including public infrastructure to support those uses), and how it will achieve it. For example, if a city decides it’s in the best interests of its population to be a hub for high-tech industry, it will designate areas within its boundaries for such industries. The plan also acts as a guide for the creation of regulations that define what uses are permitted, what structures are permitted, their design, and where (both within a district and in relation to other districts) these uses and structures may be placed. The plan itself is not legally binging, but it’s the foundation for legally binding instruments like the zoning ordinance. II.A. Creation of a Comprehensive Plan A plan is created through a collaborative effort of planning professionals, the public, city staff, the city’s planning commission and the city’s governing body (and sometimes even neighboring communities). The process is not universal, but creation generally begins by soliciting input from citizens and interested parties regarding how the city should evolve. If there is a developer who has, or wants to be, a part of the city’s growth, it makes sense to give them a place at the table. The city staff can then use this input to assemble, on its own or in concert with a planning consultant, a draft plan.

For emulsion paint, use mist coats (see mists coats below) Filler 220-grit sanding block What’s The Best Paint To Use When Painting New Plaster? Picking the right paint depends on the room you’re painting, the bare plaster type and your budget. The humidity in kitchens and bathrooms cause water-based paints (emulsions) to soak up the water vapour, which can make them unstable and likely to peel or harbour mould spores. Therefore, it’s best to use solvent-based paints for kitchens and bathrooms. Some companies even make special kitchen and bathroom paints which come in a vast range of colours. For the other rooms in your home, go with good quality emulsion paint. Good quality paint will need fewer coats, last longer and produce a much better finish when compared with cheaper paints.

Final Thoughts Content: For solvent-based paint (used for kitchens and bathrooms) use PVA as your sealer. How To Create And Apply Mist Coats IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that you DON’T use a vinyl emulsion for your mist coat. Vinyl emulsion forms a skin on the surface of your plaster that will be prone to peeling. As mentioned above, solvent paints should be sealed with a PVA adhesive and NOT mist coats. PVA should also be mixed with water and by the same ratio as below. 1 . Mix Emulsion With Water Mix standard emulsion with water. The ratio should be four-parts emulsion to one-part water. Stir thoroughly using a stirring paddle attachment for your drill.

Apply Mist Coat On Walls Apply the emulsion-water mix to the plastered surface. Use a brush for edges and a roller for everywhere else. Check that the plaster is absorbing the liquid. You may even hear a sucking sound while the plaster is absorbing the mist coat If you find that the plaster is not absorbing the mix, add more water to a max mix of 50/50 In most cases, one mist coat is enough. However, it doesn’t hurt to add a second one if you feel the need to.

Title: Elements of Offense – Prostitution Headings: Elements of Offense Elements of Offense Inside Elements of Offense Content: Elements of Offense – Prostitution Elements of Offense Generally, prostitution is the act of engaging in sexual activity by a person for a fee or a thing of economic value. But the scope of the crime of prostitution has been widened to include all prostitution related offenses. Thus a person is considered to commit an offense of prostitution if s/he engages in an act of prostitution willfully, solicits prostitution, or agrees to engage in an act of prostitution. The parties to the crime usually include: a prostitute and a customer or a third person/pimp. In addition to engaging in prostitution, soliciting prostitution, agreeing to engage in an act of prostitution, child prostitution, attempted prostitution are other prostitution related offenses. A person may be guilty of an attempt to commit prostitution when s/he engages in conduct which tends to effect the commission of such crime. In order to prove attempt, it is necessary to establish that a defendant had the intent to commit a specific offense and that a defendant engaged in some affirmative act to carry out that crime. The elements constituting an offense of prostitution are that a person has engaged in a sexual activity and has done it willfully. Sexual activity may be sexual intercourse or any lewd acts that may arouse sexual feelings.

Title: Implicit Bias and Mental Health Professionals: Priorities and Directions for Research | Psychiatric Services Headings: Implicit Bias and Mental Health Professionals: Priorities and Directions for Research Implicit Bias and Mental Health Professionals: Priorities and Directions for Research Abstract Accessing Mental Health Care Short- and Long-Term Treatment Crisis Care Criminal Justice Implications and Directions for Future Research Conclusions Content: His vigilance in everyday life might be perceived as a natural consequence of racial profiling by one provider, whereas that same behavior might be interpreted as paranoia related to schizophrenia by another ( 8 ). This single difference in how a provider interprets symptom presentation can dramatically alter subsequent discussions surrounding the patient’s psychiatric symptoms or screening for specific conditions. Even with standardized diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5, providers of mental health services are more likely to underdiagnose affective disorders and overdiagnose psychotic disorders among patients from marginalized groups compared with the majority ( 9 ). With misdiagnosis comes the likelihood that mental health professionals will fail to refer patients to the appropriate health care professionals or will inadvertently withhold treatment. This situation presents an even bigger challenge with respect to engaging with communities on recognizing signs of mental illness. Further exploration is therefore needed regarding how service providers’ biases might influence mental health care engagement. Short- and Long-Term Treatment Patients with mental disorders often require long-term care to control symptoms throughout the life course. Rapport between patient and provider can thus influence long-term treatment adherence. Despite the importance of this therapeutic alliance, persons with mental illness often report poor care experiences ( 10 ). Furthermore, patients with mental illness commonly experience microaggressions from health professionals throughout the care process ( 11 ).

Title: The History of School Lunches - Pacific Standard Headings: The History of School Lunches The History of School Lunches American school-lunch policy has always been at the mercy of broader ideological trends, from patriotic militarism to corporate neoliberalism. The First Free Lunches Feeding Kids to Fight Communists An Ethical Imperative Expansion of School Lunches Ends Enter the Corporate Suppliers Solving Lunch Debt Content: Expansion of School Lunches Ends pinterest-pin-it A version of this story originally appeared in the October 2017 issue of Pacific Standard. (Illustration: Lola Dupré) After World War II—and more concern about nutrition-related war-readiness—Congress passed the National School Lunch Act, which made the program permanent for the first time. Twenty years later, as a sally in the War on Poverty, Congress passed the Child Nutrition Act, which introduced breakfast programs and put the whole school-food system under the purview of the Department of Agriculture. American school lunches had been continually expanded for nearly a century when, in 1981, the Reagan administration cut school-food spending by $1.5 billion, raised eligibility standards, reduced portions, and, most famously, changed nutritional standards so that items like ketchup and pickle relish would qualify as vegetables. All of a sudden—and with little cause—money became the central school-lunch concern. Enter the Corporate Suppliers The cuts under President Ronald Reagan pushed districts to look for ways to economize, and corporate contractors saw a new market. Large multinational food service companies took over cafeterias to provide bland, colorless Mead meals—which happened to be a specialty of giant catering firms. Similarly, national fast food and soda brands offered districts lucrative deals for access to captive kids, returning the nation to what public-health researchers called a two-tiered school-food system, with the generic, free/cheap/subsidized pizza and pricey, name-brand premium pizza all in the same lunchroom.

Solving Lunch Debt The midday scholastic meal hit the news most recently when writer Ashley C. Ford brought national attention to the issue of lunch debt. Many districts have overdue accounts; a 2016 survey of school nutrition directors found that schools have a median student-meal debt of $2,000. Students who can't pay are at the mercy of school authorities, who are at the mercy of budget constraints.

Title: Keeping a Gun in Your Home Can Make Your Household Less Safe, Research Finds - Pacific Standard Headings: Research Finds That Having a Gun in Your Home Can Make Your Household Less Safe Research Finds That Having a Gun in Your Home Can Make Your Household Less Safe A new study finds that residents of states with higher levels of gun ownership are more likely to be shot to death by a family member or intimate partner. Content: After taking into account other factors that could contribute to homicide rates, including poverty, unemployment, average alcohol consumption, and rates of high school completion, the researchers found a disturbing (if perhaps predictable) pattern. "These results suggest that one-third of all homicides are classified as domestic, and most of these cases involve female victims," the researchers write. " Furthermore, domestic homicides committed by family members and intimate partners increase as the levels of firearm ownership increase." Specifically, for each 10 percent increase in household gun ownership rates, the researchers found a 13 percent increase in domestic homicides involving firearms. In contrast, the study found no significant association between firearm ownership rates and non-domestic homicides using firearms. That could reflect the fact that many gang-related and other crime-related killings are committed using illegally obtained weapons. The researchers note that there are several federal statutes aimed at reducing domestic firearm homicides, but that "little has been done at the federal level to enforce these laws." This lack of federal enforcement suggests "the need for state firearm legislation directed toward protecting victims of domestic violence, as access to firearms uniquely increases the likelihood of homicide among this population," the team writes.

Once we’re able to process and cope with them effectively, we can learn a lot about ourselves and our needs, Mininni said. Emotions send us important messages and help us connect with others and accomplish great things, she said. Using unhealthy strategies can sabotage our relationships, job and even our health, Mininni said. In fact, people who handle stress effectively have healthier immune systems, don’t get sick as often and age up to 16 years more slowly than people who don’t.

She defines emotions as a “full-body experience,” an interplay between our thoughts and physical sensations. As an illustration, Mininni created the following simple formula: Thoughts + Body Sensations = Emotion For instance, a kind of giddy happiness and anxiety have the same sensations, such as tight muscles and a pounding heart. What determines whether we feel happy or anxious are our thoughts.

The word “belief” means a conviction in the truth, actuality, or validity of something. So a belief is a thought with an emotional component (conviction) and a factual component (truth, actuality or validity). Beliefs can be either positive or negative. Having a negative belief is not necessarily a bad thing; however, when one believes in something that is false, a negative belief tends to become what Ellis called an “irrational” belief. Irrational beliefs are not friendly to happiness and contentment and are definitely unhelpful for getting one’s basic desires for love and approval, comfort and achievement or success met. Core Irrational Beliefs Demandingness or Absolutism – inflexible, dogmatic, extreme beliefs signaled by words such as should, must, have to, and need to (e.g., “I should not be in pain” or “I should be able to do what I used to do”). This is not the kind of should as in “I should go to the store and get some milk,” but rather a should with a capital “S”, a demand. Demand for Love and Approval from nearly everyone one finds important Demand for Success or Achievement in things one finds important Demand for Comfort or nearly no frustration or discomfort.

A belief also develops an emotional component after it is practiced repeatedly. Unfortunately, humans can rehearse untrue ideas and develop irrational beliefs.

Ask “where is the proof that this belief is true?” With this question, one is looking for the scientific evidence of the irrational belief’s validity.

Title: Self-Esteem Struggles and Strategies That Can Help Headings: Self-Esteem Struggles and Strategies That Can Help Self-Esteem Struggles and Strategies That Can Help The Origin of Self-Esteem Struggles Why Some People Struggle But Not Others Challenges & Strategies to Build Self-Esteem Content: In shaming environments, individuals internalize the idea that if they act out, they’re not just behaving badly, but they are bad, Howes says. “ A boy sneaks a cookie from the cookie jar — is he told that is the wrong behavior, or that he’s a bad boy? If the message that you are fundamentally bad is drilled in enough times, it tends to stick.” And this belief that you’re bad at your core colors your entire perspective on life. “ Good things that happen to them are a fluke, bad things are what they truly deserve and end up reinforcing their shame,” Howes says. According to Gertsen, “some people internalize negative events, see negative events as permanent and all encompassing (global) while others see [one] as temporary and don’t internalize the negative event.” Alternatively, believing that you’re a generally good person who makes mistakes helps you to accept your flaws and work on them, Howes explains. Thus, adjusting a distorted perspective is crucial in working through self-esteem issues. “ When people can take a non-distorted look at themselves, they’ll see they’re like everyone else, with strengths and weaknesses,” Howes says. Challenges & Strategies to Build Self-Esteem “Trying to help someone accept that they are OK can be as difficult as telling them what they always thought was the color green is actually red,” Howes says.

Initially, it seems unthinkable: “ It just can’t be.” Low self-esteem and its accompanying distorted perspective also can serve as an anti-anxiety strategy that brings comfort. “ In a way, self-hatred is a system they’ve known and one that has worked,” Howes maintains. People might think, “If it’s always my fault, I don’t have to confront anyone or feel ill will toward others,” even though asserting your boundaries and being able to communicate effectively with others are essential tools for healthy relationships.

Since “self-acceptance doesn’t mean whistling a happy tune and feeling great all the time,” Howes says, some people may be wary of assessing their attributes. “ Both [strengths and weaknesses] could mean we have some work to do — using our talents or working on our shortcomings.” When working with clients to improve their self-esteem, Gertsen also runs into various challenges. Clients might lack social support, repeat behaviors that create negative results or dismiss or not appreciate their positive qualities. Fortunately, there are many ways to bolster self-esteem. Howes helps his clients “gain some perspective and see that while they may have work to do in one area (procrastination or physical health, for example), they have many other qualities of equal or greater importance (intelligence, loyalty, kindness, for example).” Doing charitable work also can help someone chip away at their low self-esteem, because, according to Howes, “It’s hard to simultaneously hold onto self-hatred when you’re actively engaged in acts of charity.” He says that it’s tougher for people to rationalize that they’re terrible if they’re helping others, thereby helping to quell negative self-talk. “ When people begin to care for others they’re doing, feeling and creating goodness.

It’s difficult to rationally say ‘I made three people’s lives better today, but I’m no good.’” Gertsen says that positive psychology offers many techniques for building self-esteem. She suggests finding people “who support your growth and development,” seeing a counselor, problem-solving what you can change, accepting the things you can’t, finding activities that you love and engaging in them regularly and reducing “physical stress with meditation and exercise.” Photo by Daniel R.

Title: Your Health and Grief Headings: Your Health and Grief Your Health and Grief How we Physically React to Stress Taking Preventative Measures to Ward Off Health Concerns Content: Your Health and Grief Your Health and Grief Medically reviewed by Scientific Advisory Board — Written by Tom Gray on May 17, 2016 The loss of a loved one is a life-shattering experience. But unbeknownst to many, it affects us physically as well as emotionally. The grief a person experiences is felt on an emotional level. The resulting stress of these emotions can create havoc within our bodies. If we had a physical illness before our loved one died, our grief can exacerbate the existing illness. It can also open the way for physical illness if we have been previously healthy. Grief makes us susceptible to diseases such as the common cold sore throats and other infections. Other diseases shown to be connected to the stress of grief are ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis asthma heart disease and cancer. The connection between the mind and body is not always recognized, but there is real scientific evidence that what we think and feel has a direct effect on our biological systems. This is an especially important issue for bereaved parents because the loss of a child is the ultimate in stress and a stress that lasts so very long.

How we Physically React to Stress Bodies of all human beings (and animals alike) react to stress in basically the same manner. In 1944 Hans Selye a neurophysiologist formulated the three phases of stress reactions but it is only recently that scientists can identify with considerable accuracy what actually takes place. According to Selye the reaction to stress happens in three phases but for our purpose we will only discuss phase one. The first phase or the “alarm reaction” occurs immediately on contact with the stressor (grief at the death of our child). At the death the brain “translates” the stress of grief into a chemical reaction in the body.

At the death the brain “translates” the stress of grief into a chemical reaction in the body. The pituitary gland located at the base of the brain is stimulated to produce a hormone called adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH). This reaction is a “protective” one and in essence makes the body ready to do battle. The ACTH (from the pituitary gland) then travels to the adrenal gland, a gland at the top of the kidneys, which causes a chemical reaction which ultimately produces cortisone. As the cortisone level increases it causes the production of ACTH to level off. What happens in the case of grief where the stress continues for many months?

Title: Your Health and Grief Headings: Your Health and Grief Your Health and Grief How we Physically React to Stress Taking Preventative Measures to Ward Off Health Concerns Content: Another way to lessen the stress and probably the most helpful is to acknowledge and appropriately express the emotions that we feel during grief. These measures can considerably decrease the potential for illness to develop because it displaces and releases the tension brought on by the stress of grief. And certainly good nutrition exercise and proper rest are essential preventive measures. Another point to consider too is that the stress of grief is rarely the only stress we are experiencing at the time of a loved one’s death. Problems in our marriage or with our surviving loved ones are only two examples of the other stresses that may be added to the stress of grief. Put a number of stresses together and our bodies will surely suffer. We must be very aware that our loved one’s death and the resultant grief is a legitimate reason for physical illness. We must do whatever we can to lessen our susceptibility. Heading directly into our grief and allowing ourselves to face our painful emotions is the most helpful thing we can do. Talking about our child and the circumstances of the death crying when we need to and talking with someone who will listen non-judgmentally to our anger and guilt is the only way to successfully resolve our grief—and ultimately resolve the stress that is caused by the grief.

The majority of bereaved people experience some kind of physical illness in the first four to six months after the death of their loved one. For most the illness can be directly tied into the extreme stress of their loved one’s death. I know it is hard to be concerned about yourself physically when you hurt so badly emotionally. But remember, you will not always be in this emotional pain. Remember too if you have damaged your body in the early months of grief you run the risk of never completely recovering from the physical illness — and recovery for bereaved people means recovery in body as well as mind.

On the other hand, an exaggerated view of self can also lead to problems. Social Impressions These impressions refer to the beliefs that people have about others. These could be based on a one-time, previous experience (either negative or positive) that people have about others and form an opinion, which leads into forming a belief. These can be formed with just about any person. Naive Theories These impressions are based on one’s belief about how the world works. Naive theories largely correspond with social theories―the belief about people, how they think, behave, and interact with others. These theories go on to include major stereotypes steeped in society that have to do with a number of issues about religion, teenagers, communities, professions, and other beliefs that may even include causes of war, what gives rise to poverty and violence, and the like.

Fortuitous Discovery Ivan Pavlov accidentally discovered the phenomenon of classical conditioning during his research on the digestive patterns of dogs. This phenomenon was discovered by Pavlov when the dogs he was using, to study canine digestion patterns, would begin salivating at the sight of the person that usually fed them. This phenomenon piqued his interest and led to him abandoning his prior research in favor of researching classical conditioning. It is also called Pavlovian or respondent conditioning.
