East St. Louis School District 189 Superintendent Arthur Culver has been sued (along with the ESL Board of Education) in a five-count federal lawsuit by fired employee Yvette L. Jackson. Jackson alleges that Culver made sexually explicit remarks about Jackson and other school district staff, made "repeated unwelcome advances," including one occasion in which Culver allegedly "sat atop Plaintiffs' (Jackson's) desk and opened his legs positioning his crotch directly in Plaintiffs' face."
The lawsuit goes on to describe an alleged incident on April 1, 2018 in which Culver purportedly showed Jackson a pornographic video of a male school district employee engaging in an alleged sex act with two other individuals, then making a lewd remark about his own personal sexual preferences.
On April 2, 2018, Jackson reported Culver to the district purchasing adviser, after which time Jackson claims she was systematically excluded from meetings and ostracized. When the next personnel committee meeting was convened, the meeting agenda was allegedly amended to eliminate Jackson's job after 20 years of employment with District 189, all according to the suit.
"Our clients vehemently deny Plaintiff's claims and intend to vigorously defend against same," Garrett Hoerner, attorney for Culver and the school board, responded in a written statement that. "I fully expect Plaintiff's complaint will be dismissed by the Federal District Court."
Despite these allegations, Stanley Franklin, president of the East St. Louis NAACP, will present Culver with the "Education and Commitment" award during its recent 65th Annual Freedom Fund Awards Banquet.
And the banquet crowd demonstrated their disappointment with muted and sparse slow claps of disapproval. The district's poor academic record alone should have disqualified Culver from receiving any such honor and the unresolved sexual allegations should definitely have caused the NAACP to pump their brakes on bestowing the honor period.
It was a low point for an otherwise inspirational evening as civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis gave a very dynamic and uplifting keynote speech.
However, this isn't Franklin and the NAACP's first questionable awarding of honors. During its 2014 banquet, three out four scholarship recipients were non-black students who attended the prestigious GovernorFrenchAcademy, a prep school in Belleville.
So optics and the appearance of blatant support for alleged impropriety obviously mean nothing to Franklin and the ESL NAACP, who have long abandoned the "advancement of colored people."
That begs the question: What message are we sending to our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters when such allegations are dismissed as irrelevant and inconsequential? How does that "advance" them?
Yes, Culver deserves his day in court to defend himself against these charges. However, until that day, couldn't the NAACP have allowed the process to play out before prematurely awarding an alleged sexual predator? What was the rush?

Weighing up apartments
Protests over the intensification of New Zealand's bigger cities continue but the march of apartments is unstoppable – and that opens up opportunities for investors.
Friday, May 26th 2017, 2:15PM
by Miriam Bell
It is no longer just Auckland that is moving towards a future where apartments play a key role in meeting housing needs.
Post-earthquake Christchurch is seeing steady growth in demand for and supply of apartments, while a recent Housing Forum report said Wellington needs to grow up if it wants to solve its housing crisis.
Apartments have long been popular with investors as they cost less and generate higher returns but shifting dynamics mean the apartment market has changed in recent years.
So we have put together a list of five good reasons for investing in apartments for those who might be considering such a move.
Cheaper entry point price
Traditionally, apartments have cost a lot less than standalone houses. Most still do, but there can be little doubt that apartment prices are on the rise.
Just a few years ago, the average price for an Auckland apartment was around $300,000 – and there were many available for much less. Now, Trade Me Property's April data has the average asking price for an Auckland apartment at $675,750, which is a 17.3% year-on-year increase.
Average asking prices for apartments in Wellington and Christchurch have also gone up. In Wellington, the average price is now $466,750 (up 4.0% year-on-year), while in Christchurch it is $479,150 (up 17.4% year-on-year).
But Head of Trade Me Property Nigel Jeffries said these prices might be an expensive entry into the property market, but they are still cheaper than houses in similar areas.
Higher yields
In the past, apartments' major drawcard for investors was the considerably higher returns available. As prices have crept up, those returns have diminished – comparatively.
Back in 2010, net apartment yields in Auckland came in at around 8%. Now, net yields are around 5% to 6%. But compare those yields to the yields available for standalone houses in Auckland.
Barfoot & Thompson's latest rental yield data has the yield on an average (three bedroom) Auckland house at 2.99%. Yields vary across Super City suburbs but no suburb offers yields approaching those on an apartment.
The national pattern is likely to be similar. As house prices have increased, yields have generally fallen but apartment yields remain stronger.
Apartment Specialists director Andrew Murray said the returns on apartments have always been better and will continue to be so "For investors, looking for cash flow apartments make sense."
Rental demand
There has always been a strong, loyal tenant base in the apartment sector. Many people prefer to live in apartments, including small studio apartments. And that tenant pool is growing as the baby boomer downsizing movement grows along with corporate demand.
Further, the growing trend for owner-occupiers to buy apartments means there are less apartments in the rental market pool. This has made for increasing demand for rental apartments and that pays off for investors.
In line with the increased rental demand, average apartment rents have also been on the rise. Trade Me Property's latest rental data shows that, in Auckland, the average rent is now $475 per week. In Wellington, it is $450 and in Christchurch it is $350.
The strong demand runs across property types in the apartment sector too. For example, in the Auckland inner city the most in demand are one and two bedroom apartments with a car park, according to Barfoot & Thompson's Sandra Forrester.
Capital gain prospects
Over the course of the current boom, apartment agents have started touting the prospect of capital gain on apartments. In the past, that was never done: apartments were sold on returns.
But City Sales founder Martin Dunn said the situation is very different now. "The sector has been experiencing unprecedented capital gain because of land and building values going up so fast."
The Trade Me Property asking price data cited above, which shows strong year-on-year growth, is one example of this. So too is City Sales data which shows that the average cost per square metre for an apartment has gone up from $6,000 to nearly $9,000 in the last few years.
In Dunne's view, Auckland's ongoing housing supply shortage means the prospects for capital growth in the apartment market are unlikely to change any time soon.
Additional benefits
Another attractive apartment feature is that there is generally much less maintenance and repair work to carry out. For investors this means reduced maintenance costs and time.
Apartments also tend to offer greater security, which is attractive to many tenants.
And, depending on the location of an apartment, there is the possibility of boosting rental returns further via Airbnb. Murray said that central city Auckland apartments can earn up to $1,000 per week through Airbnb at the moment.
Cautionary words
But there are a number of things for investors to watch out for when buying an apartment.
These include the legacy of the leaky homes debacle, body corporate management issues, tighter lending criteria and the risks in buying off the plan as apartment developments can fall over.
Dunn said apartment investors need to do comprehensive due diligence and not be fooled by the flashy, expensive marketing that comes with many developments. "It can be best to opt for cheaper or more modest freehold apartments in CBD areas as they offer the best returns."

Have you ever been out walking in the golden evening when the world is soft and quiet and the honey sun coats everything?
Have you ever seen the brown and dull things glow around the edges, gilded by the light, or a sullen cloud with a silver lining and just… it just looked beautiful, even if it was the saddest looking thing the last time you passed by? Sometimes the light makes flowers on the trees where nothing exists but brown buds, shining and illuminated with warmth.
What I am asking is, have you ever seen the sun transfigure ordinary things into something glorious?
I have seen it happen. And I know, whatever happens, I cannot quite give up hope…

I have just come back from Huanaco. The construction of the soup kitchen there started 5 years ago after our first LJH mission visited Huanuco. As Christians we are called 'to believe, trusting in the Lord with all our hearts, not leaning on our own understanding' and 'loving our neighbour as ourselves' While we all fall short of that, there was a moment of 'enlightenment' and "walking in faith" when we were touched by God and decided to start supporting the construction of the current soup kitchen.
It was faith that moved us. We are a small Catholic community in Vanier with less than 50 members, many poor and destitute. Since then more than half of the community has visited Peru (including children and people over 80 years old). It's been a process of "More of Him and less of us" with the hope to become 'salt of the earth, light of the world'. The material help was important to the people of Huanaco but even more important is what has happened in the hearts of people. Here are some stories of the kids.
Four days before my arrival, Ruth, my God child, had a dream. She saw me coming to Huanuco. She shared this with her family and some people at school. Nobody knew I was coming and people laughed at her. The first thing I did on my arrival was to go running up the hill to the soup kitchen. People were amazed when I showed up. So my dear Ruth has gained new respect in the eyes of others and is a testimony of God's love in many things she does.
I've been praying for this 11 year old girl since she was six. The first time I met her she was a little girl without shoes playing in the garbage. Less than two years ago Ruth together with other 5 kids and an adult traveled for 9 hours from Huanuco to the Camp of Faith and Prayer in Lima. Now she has a Bible and knows more than most kids about God's power and love.
I've been sleeping on the second floor of the soup kitchen. It feels so close to the stars and the beautiful scenery of Huanuco can be seen from the balcony. Ruth brought her mattress and slept at the soup kitchen all the time I was there. It was important to share with this 11 year old girl about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The first night we sang for a while, lit a candle and prayed. The overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong that Ruth started to cry. We were sitting on the mattress and couldn't get up for a while. Everything was dark except for the candle.
This six year old kid joined us the second night. He followed me everywhere and did not care about walking in the rain without shoes. He learned to read during the time I was there. This is a major accomplishment considering his parents don't know how to read. He is a smart kid and not fearful of anything. Sadly, when he asks too much or is too 'active', his mother hits him. I gave him a little motorcycle toy and a pencil sharpener I got at 'garage sales' in Ottawa. Treasures for him.
On my third day, Alex managed to stay at the soup kitchen too. One night he held me and shared with me that two years ago a fellow at the market forced him into a bathroom and sexually abused him. Alex said he can't forget his face. He is now 10 years old and I am the first person he shared that with. Not even his parents realize what he's gone through.
That night, the four of us (Ruth, José, Alex and I) prayed for all the people in the mountain and shared 1 Corinthians' 13 about the importance of love. Around 3 am José, half sleeping and half awake, started to sign the song that calls the Holy Spirit. There has been much prayer coming from the kids in this visit.
This kid is already 13 but looks more like 11 due to malnurishment. He helps the household economy selling candies or working at the fruit market after school. He does not have a father. He's been sending me very encouraging Bible based messages by e-mail for the last 2 years. He's always smiling and helpful. In May 2010, when the last mission came to Huanuco, I met his mother who was in need of an operation in the uterus and also had very bad gastritis. We prayed for her (all I could do). Recently she started to feel better and has already gone to 3 doctors to be tested and the 3 of them said there is nothing to operate, she does not have gastritis problem. This must be a miracle. is it not?
Movie Night and 'Shalom'
After the movie I taught the kids a song I know in Spanish. It is about calling the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth and justice, that I sing when I am sad or going through something only God can change. Ruth sang with me and all the kids were just listening. After that we did the "Shalom". In this activity you sing and hug the other person wishing him or her peace. At that moment you are suppose to look in the eyes of that person and think of the one that has hurt you the most in your life. The 4 orphans couldn't look in my eyes and were in tears (their father killed their mother and is living with another woman). The wounds that hurt the most are the ones that can't be seen with our physical eyes but only love and forgiveness can heal.
Swimming Pool
This past Sunday we went to a swimming pool. 13 kids (14 people including me) in a couple of "taximotos" (motorcycles with seats at the back). They are suppose to have a maximum of 3 people, including the driver. We were 7 in each moto taxi!. This children enjoyed everything so much. While they were swimming I was dancing around the pool with "salsa". Going to a swimming pool is a major treat for them. They don't have washrooms at home (they use latrines). You can make them happy with so little. The little things I buy at garage sales in Canada are treasures for them.
Life in Huanaco
Almost every family has had 2 or 3 kids dying before they were 3 years old (usually stomach problems or accidents). The rate of child and mother mortality is extremely high. Cases of rape are usually within their own family (brother, uncle, etc). There are many single mothers. A 12 year old girl gets up at 4 am to work at a butcher and is pay less than $1 a day. She has 4 sisters and the father is involved with another woman and only gives the mother 50 soles a month (less than $20).
Different people brought me food every night. It was very moving that one of poorest woman had killed her little pig to cook it for me. She brought it with "cancha" (dry roasted corn).
Time was short. I taught math, and read various books according to the age of the kids, visited people in their homes, etc. Because I was living as them they were more open with me (sharing their hearts, food and love). Most kids don't know the basics for their age but almost everybody is eager to learn. At school the teacher hits them and teaching is poor. The kids love to be encouraged. I had to give marks and congratulate them all the time. On my last night at the soup kitchen I was reading a story until very late with Jose. He's learned to read in 6 days! a major accomplishment considering none of his parents can read.
On my last night I stayed at the hostel in the main plaza. Some of the kids came to say good bye. They were soaking wet because of the rain. We had a drink of quinua and a sandwich and I gave a big and long hug to each of them. Ruth made me promise that I will pray for Huanuco and her every day at a certain time that she knows, she will also do it. Alex felt embarrassed to cry but at the end he broke in tears. We all prayed for Jonathan who had an accident a couple of years ago (falling from a two story house breaking his teeth and hitting his head badly). It was a way of showing love, solidarity and faith in the One that can create new things from nothing. At the end Jonathan felt something strong happen and 'felt as if his whole body had changed' (that is what he said).
There were many divine appointments, especially meeting someone that also works with kids. This person lives the Bible without talking too much and kids respect him. When we started the missions to Peru the Lord gave me Isaiah 58:6-9 about the kind of fasting He wants. I've tried to be faithful to that. We've responded to the Lord's call (all the kids at the soup kitchen) and He's answered: Here I am.
All my love to you and Merry Christmas!

Whenever could it be safe to own sex after having a baby?
Many people are various. There's no right or incorrect time whenever you really need to make an effort to have sexual intercourse again. Probably the most thing that is important to hold back unless you feel actually and emotionally prepared.
It may help realize that about 50 % of couples start sex within eight months for the delivery. Some partners begin previously, while other people wait longer. It's all normal. By 12 days, about three-quarters of partners have experienced intercourse. The majority of partners have actually tried intercourse once more within a 12 months of this birth (fodstad 2016) .
If you have possessed a caesarean, or suffered a tear, episiotomy or any other difficulties with your data recovery, it really is apt to be a bit longer before you are feeling willing to begin making love once again (Fodstad 2016, NCT nd) . Never stress yourself, and provide the body a possiblity to heal.
When you're prepared to begin sex once more, you'll need certainly to cons > (NHS 2016) .
Why don't personally i think like sex following the delivery?
It's very common to not feel just like sex in the 1st weeks that are few months after having a child. 90 days after having an infant, almost nine in 10 brand new mums experience problems (McDonald 2015) . In the first place, you're probably experiencing exhausted because of sleep disorders and also the needs of caring for a baby that is new. Read more

Trainer Jorge Navarro reported Sunday that Private Zone, who secured a berth in the TwinSpires Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) with a front-running coup in Saturday's Forego (G1), would also take a close look at the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1).
"The way he did that yesterday," Navarro said of his 3 3/4-length rout in the seven-furlong Forego, "why not the Dirt Mile? We have to see where Tonalist and Honor Code are going because those are two very nice horses, top horses. I think it is the Sprint we're sitting on top right now.
"We're going to the Breeders' Cup, but I hate to say which one right now. I'll get together with Rene this week and we'll make plans from there."
That would be Rene Douglas, the former jockey who's the impresario of Good Friends Stable. Douglas recruited Private Zone from Panama in 2012, and also orchestrated the trainer switch to Navarro ahead of his 2015 campaign.
"The opportunity that was given to me is one in a million," Navarro said. "I don't know if I'll ever get to train another one horse like this one. He is so special. This is a racehorse. He's an amazing horse to have around.
"The horse is doing super today. I was pretty amazed at the way he came back from the race and how quick he cooled out. I can't believe how he came back; it's really good. He looked like he did everything so easy and he wasn't used. I am very pleased and happy with him.
"To tell you the truth, I was so excited about his win that my body was ready to explode after his race. But my wife and my kids were not around, so I am waiting until I get home so I can share that with them. I'll cry, laugh and really enjoy the moment, but I want to save it and do it with my family.
"I'm 40, but have been on the racetrack 26 years. Yesterday was the crowning moment. I believe it's going to get nothing but better from here."

As it gradually unfolds, drug addiction causes structural changes in the brain that distort thinking and perception, specifically in areas related to behavioral control, judgment, decision-making, learning, and memory. Drug addicts suffer enormously negative life consequences as a result of their compulsive and uncontrolled drug use, but that doesn't prevent them from returning to drugs again and again.
In a survey of treatment providers from three separate institutions, the National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors, Rational Recovery Systems and the Society of Psychologists in Addictive Behaviors, measuring the treatment provider's responses on the "Spiritual Belief Scale" (a scale measuring belief in the four spiritual characteristics of AA identified by Ernest Kurtz); the scores were found to explain 41% of the variance in the treatment provider's responses on the "Addiction Belief Scale" (a scale measuring adherence to the disease model or the free-will model of addiction).[30]
The AA 12-step approach involves psychosocial techniques used in changing behavior (eg, rewards, social support networks, role models). Each new person is assigned an AA sponsor (a person recovering from alcoholism who supervises and supports the recovery of the new member). The sponsor should be older and should be of the same sex as the patient (opposite sex if the patient is homosexual).
Many addicts feel the need to lie about their problems, whether it be to themselves or family members. A group therapy session creates a support mechanism in which patients are encouraged to open up about their issues in a safe setting. Since every member of the group understands that the patient is going through, there is no need for the patient to hide anything or lie.
Disulfiram: Disulfiram (Antabuse) interferes with the way a person's body process alcohol, and produces a very unpleasant reaction that includes flushing, nausea, and palpitations. Because of the unpleasant reactions to drinking alcohol, patients often neglect to take the medication, which limits its usefulness. Disulfiram is most effective when administered under supervision, such as by a spouse or clinic.
Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive, or uncontrollable, drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences and changes in the brain, which can be long lasting. These changes in the brain can lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who use drugs. Drug addiction is also a relapsing disease. Relapse is the return to drug use after an attempt to stop.
Our drug addiction experts at Priory possess extensive clinical expertise in the treatment of a wide range of drug addictions and we are able to deliver a broad variety of established therapeutic techniques to tackle your drug addiction symptoms, and address the underlying causes for your drug addiction. We ensure that each individual who seeks drug addiction support with us benefits from bespoke, tailor-made treatment plans, which are specifically designed to meet your unique needs and requirements. You will be involved in any decisions that are made about your care, as well as being placed at the centre of your drug addiction treatment and rehabilitation journey, in order to produce the most positive outcomes for you as an individual. Our highly supportive, non-judgemental addiction treatment environments provide you with the ideal setting in which to receive personalised drug addiction treatment, address your challenges and take steps towards achieving a full and sustainable recovery.
If the patient has an antisocial personality (ie, severe problems with family, peers, school, and police before age 15 y and before the onset of alcohol problems), recovery is less likely. If the patient has primary depression, anxiety disorder, or another potentially contributory disorder (the other disorder must antedate the problems with alcohol or it must be a significant problem during long periods of sobriety), treat this primary problem aggressively. Step 1 - Admitting We Are Powerless
Though alcohol dependency may come in various guises, the chemistry at the heart of it is the same for everyone. When problematic drinking habits continue over a period of time, it leads to long-term electrical changes in the brain, which causes the compulsive attitude towards alcohol that characterises alcoholism. The brain is essentially being hijacked by chemicals, which steer the mind's attention towards finding and consuming more alcohol.
Initiate a one-on-one conversation. If you don't bring up the topic of drug addiction, it's unlikely that your loved one will initiate the discussion. Denial is one of the strongest side effects of addiction, and it's all too easy for spouses, partners, or children to ignore the problem along with the addict. Have an honest, heart-to-heart talk with your loved one about how their behavior is affecting you and other people in your home.
Since those with moderate to severe alcohol addiction can benefit from medication that must be prescribed by a medical professional, start with your primary care physician. He or she can start the assessment process, work with an addiction counselor to provide the right prescriptions, and monitor your overall health during the recovery process. Alternatively, you can contact a counselor or rehab facility directly to schedule an assessment and begin the rehabilitation process.
According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 22.5 million people (8.5 percent of the U.S. population) aged 12 or older needed treatment for an illicit* drug or alcohol use problem in 2014. Only 4.2 million (18.5 percent of those who needed treatment) received any substance use treatment in the same year. Of these, about 2.6 million people received treatment at specialty treatment programs (CBHSQ, 2015). Jasmine's Battle With Heroin | True Stories of Addiction | Detox To Rehab
Some people are more vulnerable to drug addiction than others, just as some people are more vulnerable to cancer or diabetes than others. There is no single factor that controls whether you will become addicted. Overall, though, the more risk factors you have, the greater your chance of drug addiction is; on the other hand, the more protective factors you have the less risk of addiction you face.
Alcohol is known for lowering inhibitions, but when alcohol is combined with risky activities, such as driving/operating machinery or taking drugs (either prescription or recreational), this may be an indication that alcohol is being taken in at abusive levels. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism warns that mixing alcohol with medication can cause internal bleeding and heart problems, as well as cause liver damage and make the medications toxic to the body.

Inpatient rehabilitation is an intensive form of treatment for drug and alcohol addiction that follows the medical detox phase. Inpatient rehab is offered at all The Recovery Village locations. This transition occurs only after a medical professional thoroughly evaluates each client. Those who receive inpatient treatment typically struggle with cravings and should be monitored around the clock to prevent relapse. This is especially important for individuals who are dependent on a particular substance and can't go more than a few hours without it. While enrolled in this program, the nursing staff monitors clients 24/7.
When you stop using alcohol altogether, you may experience withdrawal symptoms. The detoxification stage is the first step in the recovery process. It involves eliminating alcohol from your body completely. The most severe withdrawal symptoms generally surface within the first 24 to 48 hours after your last drink. While some symptoms are minor, others can be more serious. Your treatment specialist will be able to give you medications in order to help alleviate some of the pain.
Treatments at inpatient centers may include behavioral therapies, the most popular of which is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These therapies encourage participants to change the way they react to stressful external stimuli (like failing a test or losing a job) by promoting healthy ways of coping. Many centers also offer group and individual counseling, experiential therapies and training on proper nutrition and health. Luxury Executive Rehab For Drugs and Alcohol:Rehab Near Me
Problem drinking soon progresses to physical dependency. At this stage, you have probably developed a tolerance to alcohol and require more of it to feel the same level of enjoyment as before. This increased consumption can cause your body to get used to alcohol. When you are not using it, or the effects begin to wear off, you will experience physical withdrawal symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, sweating, tremors, and nausea. Alcohol Detox Treatment
Are you seeking an inpatient rehab center near you? There are hundreds of residential rehabilitation centers (inpatient rehab facilities) all over the country. The Recovery Village has various outpatient and inpatient treatment centers locations throughout the U.S. To find an inpatient facility near you, refer to the following Local Rehab Resources page, which allows you to narrow your search by city and state.
Alcoholism treatment typically consists of a detox, followed by rehabilitation. Rehab programmes take place in either an inpatient or outpatient clinic, depending on your needs and circumstances. How severe your illness is, the length of time you have been addicted, and your personal situation will all play a role in what type of programme you choose.
Physical dependence on a drug can cause serious withdrawal symptoms if a person suddenly stops using the substance or severely reduces the dose. The withdrawal process itself can be uncomfortable and dangerous. Some of the classic signs of withdrawal include tremors, cold sweats, involuntary movements (e.g., jerking, twitching, or shaking), nausea and vomiting, muscle cramps and bone pain. Because withdrawal can be dangerous, proper medical detox can be a life-saving step in recovery. The Twelve Step programme for Beginners
Changes in the brain that support physical and psychological dependency on mind-altering substances are the direct cause of addiction, but those changes do not occur at random. Addiction experts believe drug addiction emerges from an interplay of genetic and environmental factors, although one factor or the other may be strong enough to make a person vulnerable to addiction in some instances. Overcome Any Addiction: Dopamine Receptor Repair & Addiction Healing (sound therapy)
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), patients stabilized on adequate, sustained doses of methadone or buprenorphine can keep their jobs, avoid crime and violence, and reduce their exposure to HIV and Hepatitis C by stopping or reducing injection drug use and drug-related high risk sexual behavior. Naltrexone is a long-acting opioid antagonist with few side effects. It is usually prescribed in outpatient medical conditions. Naltrexone blocks the euphoric effects of alcohol and opiates. Naltrexone cuts relapse risk during the first 3 months by about 36%.[9] However, it is far less effective in helping patients maintain abstinence or retaining them in the drug-treatment system (retention rates average 12% at 90 days for naltrexone, average 57% at 90 days for buprenorphine, average 61% at 90 days for methadone).[9] 3 Stages of Drug Alcohol Rehab-How It Works
Even though our primary choice is to end the struggle of drug addiction through abstinence, we realize that for some this may not be possible.

We work with caring physicians, psychiatrists and nurses that will give you compassionate care in a non-judgemental environment. Therefore, we are open and willing to work with you based on your individual needs and where appropriate, work with anti-addiction medications to assist you in controlling cravings that help prevent relapse.

Alumni & Expert Staff Reviews of Inpatient Drug Rehab Center
Alcohol is often mixed with other illegal drugs, which can have serious implications for your health. In extreme cases, mixing two chemical substances can have fatal consequences. For example, when combining alcohol with a stimulant drug such as cocaine or amphetamine, the two substances will fight against each other as one has a sedative effect while the other is a stimulant. The result is a huge amount of pressure on the brain and central nervous system.
Certain drugs (like cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines) are infamous for how they can mess up the brain. Most people know to beware of their potency and danger. Other substances (such as alcohol, marijuana and painkillers) tend to be viewed quite differently. For many Americans, they are deemed to be much less dangerous. But is this view accurate?
Inpatient usually offers more services, but it tends to cost more. Outpatient is a less-expensive option that's generally safe and effective for people with mild or moderate alcohol withdrawal. It works best if your physical and mental health is good, your home is stable, you have support at home, and you don't have a long history of problem drinking. Drug Addiction : How to Recover from Alcohol Addiction
Dangerous behaviors common among alcoholics include impaired judgment and coordination, falling asleep at the wheel, falling asleep with lit cigarettes, aggressive outbursts, drinking to the point of vomiting, hangover, or alcohol poisoning — and these are just the ones most alcoholics experience in the course of their disease. All of these behaviors will eventually hit the system, in the form of health care costs, criminal justice costs, motor vehicle crash costs, and workplace productivity
Almost all alcoholics who have been chronic, heavy drinkers will experience some level of withdrawal symptoms when they suddenly stop drinking. These symptoms can range from mild shakes and discomfort to life-threatening delirium tremens -- which can include confusion, hallucinations, convulsions, autonomic instability, and death. Long-time, heavy drinkers who decide to quit drinking should seek medical assistance first.
Mental health problems. If you suffer from a mental health problem, whether or not it has been diagnosed, and whether or not you take medication for it, you are at higher risk for addiction. Mental health problems include anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, bipolar personality disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to name a few.
Overcoming an alcohol addiction starts with a qualified treatment center that can help address underlying and co-occurring disorders. Because of alcohol's prevalence throughout our culture, recovering alcoholics are constantly bombarded with triggers. Treatment centers must be equipped to help the recovering user find effective ways to manage triggers and cravings in order to be effective.

Detox is not the expulsion of 'toxins' from your system, but a reaction of your nervous system to the absence of alcohol. Withdrawal from alcohol and its sedative effects results in an overreaction of the nervous system. A number of severe symptoms can develop, such as disorientation, extreme anxiety, diarrhoea, very high blood pressure, delusions, heart rhythm changes etc. This is very dangerous if not supervised and monitored by personnel experienced in addiction recovery treatment. These symptoms can now be controlled in a safe way through proper medical attention and pharmacotherapy during the detox period. Our clinical staff has extensive experience dealing with alcohol detox and conducts the process in as much safety and as comforting an environment as possible. This is a vast improvement from a time before modern medicine when there was a death rate of 33% for those going through severe alcohol withdrawal.
Detoxification is the initial step in treating alcoholism, and it can also be the most difficult. Within the first few days after you quit drinking, you may experience extremely uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. Because of this, the alcohol detox stage should only be completed under professional medical care. Treatment specialists will also be able to provide you with medication to help ease the pain. This allows you to focus on getting better. After detox, you will be able to move forward with other forms of treatment and therapy.

Drug addiction causes sufferers to experience physical and psychological dependency on illicit, mind-altering substances. Habitual drug use causes changes in the structure and operation of the brain that deepen and reinforce drug addiction, to the point where a desire to stop using drugs is not enough to make it happen. Drug addiction is a destroyer of hopes, dreams, and lives, but with inpatient treatment plus a comprehensive aftercare program drug addicts can find lasting relief from the ravages of chemical dependency, regardless of how long they've been addicted.
A few people are very sensitive to Antabuse and get a stronger reaction. A quick test of whether you're sensitive to Antabuse is to see if your skin flushes when you put alcohol on your skin. If you're sensitive you may still decide to use Antabuse, but you'll have to be a little more careful about avoiding alcohol. Most people just need to show some common sense when they're on Antabuse.
Drug addiction is defined as a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences.3 It is possible to be physically dependent upon a drug without having an addiction to the substance. However, when addiction is an issue, the negative consequences experienced during drug abuse become overwhelming, which makes it impossible for the patient to function in relationships with others, at work, at school or in the community.
Treating addiction – whether at rehab or not – can be divided into three main phases. Firstly is detoxification, the process by which an addict's system is cleansed of substances of abuse. Once this cleansing process has taken place, and the immediate pressures of drug dependency have been lifted, the addict will then need to address the psychological aspects of their addiction, including understanding the root causes and seeking to put measures in place to ensure that they do not stumble back into addiction by relapsing.
As with other diseases and disorders, the likelihood of developing an addiction differs from person to person, and no single factor determines whether a person will become addicted to drugs. In general, the more risk factors a person has, the greater the chance that taking drugs will lead to drug use and addiction. Protective factors, on the other hand, reduce a person's risk. Risk and protective factors may be either environmental or biological.
Drug addiction is a disease of the body and brain. Also called substance use disorder, drug addiction triggers uncontrollable behaviors and renders a person unable to control their use of medication, alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs—whether they are legal or not. Addictive substances such as nicotine, alcohol, opioid medications, and marijuana are considered drugs just as much as heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine. Once you are addicted to a substance, you will feel compelled to use it, regardless of the damage that use does to your body, your brain, and your life.

PMC 4040958. PMID 22641964. It has been found that deltaFosB gene in the NAc is critical for reinforcing effects of sexual reward. Pitchers and colleagues (2010) reported that sexual experience was shown to cause DeltaFosB accumulation in several limbic brain regions including the NAc, medial pre-frontal cortex, VTA, caudate, and putamen, but not the medial preoptic nucleus. Next, the induction of c-Fos, a downstream (repressed) target of DeltaFosB, was measured in sexually experienced and naive animals. The number of mating-induced c-Fos-IR cells was significantly decreased in sexually experienced animals compared to sexually naive controls. Finally, DeltaFosB levels and its activity in the NAc were manipulated using viral-mediated gene transfer to study its potential role in mediating sexual experience and experience-induced facilitation of sexual performance. Animals with DeltaFosB overexpression displayed enhanced facilitation of sexual performance with sexual experience relative to controls. In contrast, the expression of DeltaJunD, a dominant-negative binding partner of DeltaFosB, attenuated sexual experience-induced facilitation of sexual performance, and stunted long-term maintenance of facilitation compared to DeltaFosB overexpressing group. Together, these findings support a critical role for DeltaFosB expression in the NAc in the reinforcing effects of sexual behavior and sexual experience-induced facilitation of sexual performance. ... both drug addiction and sexual addiction represent pathological forms of neuroplasticity along with the emergence of aberrant behaviors involving a cascade of neurochemical changes mainly in the brain's rewarding circuitry.
Numerous studies have proven that Antabuse is effective in the treatment of alcoholism and alcohol abuse. Antabuse has been used since 1951. (The generic name of Antabuse is Disulfiram.) Antabuse is not only effective in treating alcoholism, it is also helpful in treating drug addiction. If you have a drug problem, anything that helps you stop drinking will also help you stop using drugs, because alcohol usually leads to drugs.
Use any setbacks in recovery as a learning experience and recognise that while you may have made a mistake, you do not have to make it worse by continuing to drink. Get yourself to your nearest fellowship meeting or call your sponsor as soon as possible. You will then need to take a good look at what led to your setback. It is important that you take the time to do this so that you can avoid another occurrence in the future.
It can be difficult to recognize when casual drinking has crossed the line into abuse or addiction. It can be even harder to decide that it is time to do something about it. Knowing what addiction looks and feels like can be challenging for loved ones, let alone for the person who is addicted to alcohol. If people are aware of what the signs of alcoholism are, it can be easier to determine when it's time to enter rehab in order to stop the cycle of addiction and work toward recovery from alcoholism.
One of the major benefits of limiting our enrolment is having the space for flexibility and individuality a larger institution can never accommodate. While our addiction treatment program is primarily focused on evidence-based psychotherapy, we are open and able to integrate into this whichever alternative therapies appeal to each resident. Our goal is to provide each of our residents with precisely the right combination of Psychological, Medical, Pharmaceutical, Nutritional, Alternative and Spiritual practices that will bring each of them their recovery. We pride ourselves in our ability to work with each resident closely, and offer him or her the care, support and treatment they need with compassion and dignity.
People who are addicted to drugs need to be in a drug-free environment with people who will hold them accountable for their goal of getting off drugs. Drug rehab may begin with detoxification, which helps the addict rid his or her body of the drugs and treat any withdrawal symptoms. Not everyone needs to go through detox, but detox alone is not enough treatment to effectively break the addictive cycle long-term. Once detox is completed, the real work of addiction treatment begins.
Most people with a history of drug use have poor discipline and self-care habits. A critical part of self-care for a person in recovery is setting and accomplishing goals. Most people, whether in recovery or not, do not know how to set goals that are likely to be achieved. They begin with sincere intentions that eventually get abandoned because they didn't approach goal setting with the proper mindset. The repetitive cycle of wanting to change habits but continually falling short gradually weakens a person's resolve to the point where many stop trying.

Commitment and follow-through are key. Recovering from alcohol addiction or heavy drinking is not a quick and easy process. In general, the longer and more intense the alcohol use, the longer and more intense the treatment you'll need. But regardless of the treatment program's length in weeks or months, long-term follow-up care is crucial to your recovery.
Many patients get caught up in trying to define their relationship with drugs and alcohol. For example, drug abuse, has a far less threatening reputation than that of drug addiction. According to Medline Plus, an issue with drug abuse is defined as the regular abuse of any illicit substance including alcohol over the course of a year with negative consequences. These negative consequences can be financial, interpersonal, work-related, legal, health-related – anything that changes the patient's experience of day-to-day life for the worse.2 How to stop a drug addiction FOREVER: #1 Real cause of addiction revealed
Because prescription drugs are produced in laboratories and prescribed by doctors, they are mistakenly perceived as "safer" than street drugs. However, the risks of overdose, respiratory depression, cardiac arrest, and accidental death are equal to any other opioid narcotic. Withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable, with symptoms that resemble a bad flu, such as a runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, shakiness, and cold sweats.
Recovery from alcohol addiction is a lifelong journey. You may face relapses and temptations for most of your life. It's not uncommon to slip in and out of sobriety as you work your way through your addiction. Some people beat addiction the first time they try to become sober. Others battle alcohol dependence for many years. The more you try, the higher your chances of success.
SMART Recovery was founded by Joe Gerstein in 1994 by basing REBT as a foundation. It gives importance to the human agency in overcoming addiction and focuses on self-empowerment and self-reliance.[32] It does not subscribe to disease theory and powerlessness.[33] The group meetings involve open discussions, questioning decisions and forming corrective measures through assertive exercises. It does not involve a lifetime membership concept, but people can opt to attend meetings, and choose not to after gaining recovery. Objectives of the SMART Recovery programs are:[34]
Addiction can be either behavioral or substance related. An intense feeling of emotional need or physical craving characterizes them both. Both types of addiction carry a number of other similarities, but behavioral addiction does not possess the same physical symptoms that accompany drug addiction. Experts disagree on the similarities and differences between the symptoms and consequences of the types of addictions. Inside NHS detox centre - Victoria Derbyshire
In his influential book, Client-Centered Therapy, in which he presented the client-centered approach to therapeutic change, psychologist Carl Rogers proposed there are three necessary and sufficient conditions for personal change: unconditional positive regard, accurate empathy, and genuineness. Rogers believed the presence of these three items, in the therapeutic relationship, could help an individual overcome any troublesome issue, including but not limited to alcohol abuse. To this end, a 1957 study[36] compared the relative effectiveness of three different psychotherapies in treating alcoholics who had been committed to a state hospital for sixty days: a therapy based on two-factor learning theory, client-centered therapy, and psychoanalytic therapy. Though the authors expected the two-factor theory to be the most effective, it actually proved to be deleterious in the outcome. Surprisingly, client-centered therapy proved most effective. It has been argued, however, these findings may be attributable to the profound difference in therapist outlook between the two-factor and client-centered approaches, rather than to client-centered techniques.[37] The authors note two-factor theory involves stark disapproval of the clients' "irrational behavior" (p. 350); this notably negative outlook could explain the results.
Inpatient usually offers more services, but it tends to cost more. Outpatient is a less-expensive option that's generally safe and effective for people with mild or moderate alcohol withdrawal. It works best if your physical and mental health is good, your home is stable, you have support at home, and you don't have a long history of problem drinking.
Integrated treatment is comprehensive programming that offers all of the therapeutic resources necessary to help the individual heal physically, mentally, and spiritually. There is no one cause of addiction, though living with a mental health disorder may increase the likelihood of developing a substance use disorder — and vice versa. Everyone is different. In some cases, a mental health disorder predates the development of a drug abuse. In other cases, mental health symptoms are not apparent until after addiction has taken hold — sometimes, these conditions are exacerbated or worsened by drug use.
Rock Solid Recovery (men's rehab) and its sister center, Sure Haven (women's rehab), are highly rated, intimate treatment facilities. Treatment is based on a holistic, 12-step approach. Each facility has its own complete, multidisciplinary treatment staff, allowing patients to receive the best individualized care possible. The facilities offer inpatient treatment programs ranging from 30 days to 90 days, depending on patient needs. The primary benefit of these treatment centers is their small size. The men's facility supports 6 patients and the women's supports 13. This allows for the specialized, highly successful treatment that these facilities are known for.
"The most robust finding in the study is that those receiving any medication did much better than those who received no pills at all," says Professor Barbara Mason, Scripps Research Institute, and an author of the study. "This should be a wake-up call. With less than one percent of those seeking help for alcohol dependence receiving a prescription, medication is underutilized. Medication for alcoholism can offer patients an advantage for their recovery, especially in a real-world setting."
As for programme length, residential rehab usually lasts between four and twelve weeks. Many experts believe that shorter programmes do not give patients enough time to recover while longer programmes run the risk of institutionalising patients and making them fearful of returning home. The one exception for longer stays is dual diagnosis. People recovering from a dual diagnosis circumstance may require longer stays.

Drug addiction and drug abuse are often used as interchangeable terms, but the fact is that they are two very different things. Drug abuse occurs when a person abuses illegal substances or prescription drugs; the person may enjoy the effect provided by the use of the substance and use it regularly, but unless the drug abuse is accompanied by certain symptoms or issues and a physical dependence on the drug, it is not drug addiction.
It is not just the addict who suffers from addiction: those around them, especially family members, can be profoundly affected too. Some good rehabs have a strong focus on the family, in terms both of the role the family can play in an addict's recovery, and of the recovery of the family members themselves who may have experienced great distress and even trauma as a result of their loved one's addiction.
Finding a drug rehab facility that has all of these features may seem difficult, but here at Axis, we provide everything on the list above and more. Our goal is to offer your loved one everything he or she needs to break free from drug and alcohol dependence and to go home with a plan that will help to continue to grow in recovery and remain true to his or her principles of sobriety. Starting with an evaluation and diagnostic process at intake, we create a treatment plan designed just for your loved one, complete with an intensive therapeutic schedule that comes with cutting-edge treatment options as well as traditional care and support.
Founded in 1967 by 6 heroin addicts trying to stay clean, this nonprofit organization now has 11 treatment centers across the nation and over 120 specialized programs with a focus on holistic treatment. Phoenix House has grown into a program supported by a complete staff of addiction specialists. This treatment center follows the understanding that addiction is a chronic illness, requiring ongoing support and management just like any other chronic illness. It is one of the best treatment centers on the more affordable side of the spectrum.
The disease model of addiction has long contended the maladaptive patterns of alcohol and substance use displays addicted individuals are the result of a lifelong disease that is biological in origin and exacerbated by environmental contingencies. This conceptualization renders the individual essentially powerless over his or her problematic behaviors and unable to remain sober by himself or herself, much as individuals with a terminal illness being unable to fight the disease by themselves without medication. Behavioral treatment, therefore, necessarily requires individuals to admit their addiction, renounce their former lifestyle, and seek a supportive social network who can help them remain sober. Such approaches are the quintessential features of Twelve-step programs, originally published in the book Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939.[26] These approaches have met considerable amounts of criticism, coming from opponents who disapprove of the spiritual-religious orientation on both psychological[27] and legal[28] grounds. Opponents also contend that it lacks valid scientific evidence for claims of efficacy[29]. However, there is survey-based research that suggests there is a correlation between attendance and alcohol sobriety[30]. Different results have been reached for other drugs, with the twelve steps being less beneficial for addicts to illicit substances, and least beneficial to those addicted to the physiologically and psychologically addicting opioids, for which maintenance therapies are the gold standard of care.[31]
Lastly, drug rehab is important because it affords participants the opportunity to construct new habits. One of the more common characteristics of addicts is poor self-discipline and care. Rehab provides these individuals with the chance not only to set goals but to accomplish them as well. Routinely achieving goals provides addicts with an improved sense of self-worth and resolve.
Addiction comes in many forms and is largely found to involve more than one substance or condition. One of the more common coexisting substance combinations is alcohol and drug addiction. According to The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, more than 23 million people over the age of 12 are faced with an addiction to both alcohol and drugs. Many substance abuse treatment centers address both substances. The individualized programs at The Recovery Village focus on treating addiction to drugs, alcohol, or both, in addition to co-occurring mental disorders.
With opiate abuse (heroin, morphine, OxyContin, Vicodin), withdrawal symptoms usually start within a matter of hours and last for several days. With stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamine, withdrawal may be more extensive, with cravings, depression, and anxiety lasting for several months. Withdrawal from prescription medications, such as sedatives in the benzodiazepine family (Valium, Xanax, Ativan) may require a drug taper lasting a number of weeks to clear the chemical safely from your system.
The first step in treatment is brief intervention. The physician states unequivocally that the patient has a problem with alcohol and emphasizes that this determination stems from the consequences of alcohol in that patient's life, not from the quantity of alcohol consumed. Emphasizing the effects on family, friends, and occupation, as well as any physical manifestations, is important. Pointing out that loss of control and compulsive use indicate alcohol dependence also is important.
Club drugs are commonly used at clubs, concerts and parties. Examples include ecstasy or molly (MDMA), gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), flunitrazepam (Rohypnol ― a brand used outside the U.S. ― also called roofie) and ketamine. These drugs are not all in the same category, but they share some similar effects and dangers, including long-term harmful effects.
The different types of rehab facilities fall into two categories or "settings." The two settings are inpatient (full-time rehab) and outpatient (part-time rehab). Inpatient means the client lives at the facility, and each step of the rehab process is typically completed there. Patients who attend an outpatient facility return home after treatment each day and often complete the steps of rehab at different facilities. Below is a comparison of the most common program options within those two rehab settings. Alcohol Rehab Centers - Inspire Malibu Alcohol Rehab Center
State-funded programs are more likely to cover a full range of treatment options, though they may not yet have access the very latest in cutting-edge treatment technology or treatment center amenities that some private programs are able to offer. Despite the likelihood of having more basic or standard recovery settings, these state programs still provide effective treatment as well as valuable post-treatment support.

The most important thing to consider after alcohol rehabilitation is having an aftercare program that allows you continued treatment and a safe environment to maintain sobriety. It is also important that you follow suggestions to help you continue to maintain constant sobriety. Suggestions can include attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous, SMART recovery or another community or church groups, addiction counseling, or living in a halfway house. Finding a safe environment to live in while entering back in to the normal realm of every day life is imperative.
One of the brain areas still maturing during adolescence is the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain that allows people to assess situations, make sound decisions, and keep emotions and desires under control. The fact that this critical part of a teen's brain is still a work in progress puts them at increased risk for making poor decisions, such as trying drugs or continuing to take them. Introducing drugs during this period of development may cause brain changes that have profound and long-lasting consequences.

One is wearing a dark suit with an expensive watch and tapping away on his cell phone, while the other shows up in a battered Toyota, wears board shorts and asks if he can get a basket with some extra bread.
To whom should you pay more attention to get a better tip?
The surprising answer, according to new research from Berkeley psychologist Paul Piff, is Table Two.
He may order the specials and ignore the wine list, but the data says your poor guy will probably leave more money on the table at the end of the meal.
He also likely gives more to charity, stays more faithful in relationships and plays a pleasant game of Monopoly. Piff calls this phenomenon "the Asshole Effect," and it helps explain why some American politicians are so happy to divide the world among "makers" and "takers."
Piff, a 32-year-old researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, found that "as people grow wealthier, they are more likely to feel entitled, to become meaner and be more likely to exploit others, even to cheat," according to The Guardian's Anne Manne.
Piff's results have been dismissed as liberal nonsense and leftist propaganda for implicitly suggesting redistribution, but Piff stands by his data.
"Would I be less excited if we found that higher-status people were more generous?" he said in an interview with New York magazine. "I'd probably be less excited, but that's not what we found."
To uncover the Asshole Effect, Piff and his team conducted a series of increasingly specific experiments. At the most basic level, his researchers staked out intersections and tracked the behavior of drivers according to their model of car, ranked 1-5 from least to most expensive. Those behind the wheels of an expensive car were four times more likely to behave badly, cutting off others and blowing past pedestrians at a crosswalk.
The same held true while watching 274 cars pass through a four-way stop sign. The luxury models more often jumped their turn in the rotation, cutting off their lesser counterparts on the road.
In the laboratory Piff explored this idea with Monopoly, sharing games, association tests and many other ways of measuring behavior. He consistently found that people who came from wealthier backgrounds or who were primed to think of themselves as more wealthy in the situation showed less empathy, greater stinginess, and far less likelihood to share resources with others.
Richer test subjects agreed more often with statements like "I honestly feel I'm just more deserving than other people" and were even more willing to take candy from a basket reserved for the children's study next door.
The richer you get, or even just feel, the more likely you are to believe yourself superior to and more deserving of than everyone else. Empathy takes a hike and pretty soon people in need aren't victims of misfortune or a bad economy, they brought it upon themselves. After all, if you deserve your position in life than it follows that they must deserve theirs.
Drawing these broad conclusions may seem overwrought, but they are exactly where Piff argues that his results lead.
"The more severe inequality becomes, the more entitled people may feel and less likely to share they become,"he said in an interview. "The wealthier [that] segments of society become then, [sic] the more vulnerable communities may be to selfish tendencies and the less charity the least among us can expect."
The rich, according to this study, are even three times more likely to cheat on their spouses.
In an era of unprecedented income inequality, Piff's warning has particular relevance. As the rich grow richer and more distant from the rest of us, while the gap even between the middle and lower classes continues to widen, it's worth exploring how that will impact our attitudes toward each other. According to the dataout of Berkeley, the answer is not well. For fans of Mitt Romney's 47% video, this may come as news.
For anyone who has knowingly chuckled at Mr. Burns or sympathized with Bob Cratchit, probably not so much.

Today Senses Fail unveiled plans to release a new acoustic EP, titled In Your Absence. The five-track EP will be released March 3rd via Pure Noise Records. Additionally, the band has debuted a new song called "Jets to Peru" to which has an accompanying music video:
Frontman Buddy Nielsen states, "15 years ago the first thing we ever did was put together an EP, that eventually turned into a longer EP called From The Depths of Dreams which was our first official release. We thought it would be appropriate to celebrate our 15 year anniversary by doing the same thing. These songs are a throwback to an older style of Senses Fail and we are very proud of exploring this sound and the future. Here is to another 15 years."
Additionally, Senses Fail will be celebrating their 15th anniversary as a band with a headlining North American tour beginning in San Diego on March 3rd and wrapping up April 8th at the Observatory in Santa Ana. The band will be performing their critically acclaimed album, Still Searching from front to back along with other fan-favorites from the band's discography. Accompanying Senses Fail on the tour will be Counterparts, Movements, and Like Pacific.

February honors contributions of black Americans
It has become a tradition to observe the month of February as Black History Month, celebrated with a variety of programs in schools, churches and libraries. That is as it should be. We make note of this today, fittingly we think, on the birthday of the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln.
Students in school learn of the contributions of many American blacks, from George Washington Carver to Marian Anderson to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, and many others in between.
We have African-Americans serving at the highest levels of government. Barack Obama, who now seeks the Democratic presidential nomination, joins a short list of blacks who have been elected to the Senate; many more have taken House seats.
We have some local outstanding African-Americans whose names are a part of Norwalk's history, from Rudy Costa, the city's first black police officer who rose to next to the top in the department. Sanford Anderson, the first black firefighter, later became that department's chief.
Margaret Podd Fuller was the city's first black teacher; Charles J. Marshall was the first black city clerk and later deputy public works commissioner; Andrew Wise was the first black chairman of the Board of Education.
These are but a few of the outstanding African-American citizens who we call our friends and our neighbors. Their contributions and those of many others to the city are the warp and woof that creates the fabric of Norwalk.
There is not enough room to count the many famous black Americans whose names are familiar to us. Less familiar are some others; their contributions should be noted each time you step into your car and start the engine.
Each time you hit your turn signal you are using a device invented by a black engineering genius, Richard B. Spikes, a creation he made back in 1913. Spikes had another auto-related invention -- the automatic transmission, which he developed in 1932.
Another important part of your car's engine -- the spark plug -- was reportedly the idea of a black inventor, Edmund Berger. Believe it or not, he invented that in 1839, long before cars were on the road.
Meredith C. Gourdine invented the exhaust purification system, now called the catalytic converter, in 1967.
Yet another black inventor, Frederick M. Jones, invented the two-cycle gas engine in 1950, the same device that today powers many snowblowers and older motorcycles.
These are but a small list of contributions made by African-Americans to this nation, from the first black units in the Civil War, and in every other conflict, to those servicemen and women now in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They are best remembered as Americans all.

The Indian Ocean Mermaids live in Seira and Sara's Castle. They have orange colored hair and eyes and they wear different shades of orange mermaid outfits. The current Mermaid Princess of the Indian Ocean is Seira, who succeeded by Mermaid Princess Sara.
List of Indian Ocean Mermaids
- Because Sara destroyed the Kingdom, where the Indian Ocean Mermaids used to live, it is likely that most of them died, and such, their population has been decreased significantly. Because of this they are the Mermaid race that has the least members, among the other mermaid races.

One of the functions of a health activist is to remind each other of those things that we forget. We all know we about the suppose to's—we are suppose to eat well, get enough sleep, exercise, etc. Sometimes in order to embrace the suppose to's, we need something firm to grab on to—a lifeline that will keep us from drowning. One of my lifelines is this: Having hepatitis C doesn't mean that hepatitis C has me. Doing those suppose to's helps me manage hepatitis C.
