My wings ache.
A lot of my body has been aching ever since some years ago.
But I suppose thats what {Corrupted Data} a scholar for much of your life.
I was not a particularly active person. Sure I did fly but flying anywhere in Venlil Prime was incredibly hard even for the strongest of all Kratotl living. Not that I would be flying here any time soon.
The slightly elevated slopes of Riverford would have been promising to me but I had been of course too busy studying on Predator Disease to do much about flying.
I've been an expert on the subject for many decades now. Helping identify patterns of non-sapient predators whenever they popped, providing advice for new Exterminator pods and assisting in trials of predator-diseased peoples across the belt. I've kept a impressive track record ove{Corrupted Data}.
I yawned and stretched my wings as I stepped out from my favourite cafe onto the nearly empty street. It was a fairly isolated place that has seen plenty of Riverfords elderly visitors and scholars throughout its long life, myself included. And personally I would rather keep its isolated nature like that.
I walked over to where my car was and opened its door. Some would say tha{Corrupted Data} but I liked this model and I would be rather be long in Inatala's embrace before I even change cars now.
As I entered the car, I heard something drop onto the floor of the car, and quite close to me too. I craned my aching neck over to the right car seat to see a weird cylindrical object of some kind. Curiously, I picked it up. From visual observation, this was a cylinder with some metal bits on one end with a hole and a rough exterior, presumably for grabbing-

I removed the helmet and placed it on the public bathroom's counter, checking the fur on top of my head. It was a soft pastel white with rather nice curls which I've been trying to keep on whenever I was on duty. As usual, it got ruffled by the helmet so I decided to put some water on my wool to see whether it would retain the shape.
Letting my fingers plap and flatten the wool into the shape I wanted it to be, I was reminded of my pod-on-duty eating Second Meal. None of us had our breakfast and Valim had bought us all hefty meals as a treat to make up for our dour moods.
Ah well, I suppose I can take my time with this and surprise them all with my new wool-style.
A toilet behind me flushed as whoever it was began to clean themselves up. I paid not much mind to the person in the cubicle as I bent down and applied more water to my wool.
When I looked up back into the mirror, I saw the following things:
Myself.
A Yotul in all black.
A set of white, sharp, predatory teeth in the center of their chest.
And a wire tied in a circle in one of their hands.
I turned around, feeling the grip of the Yotul on my fire-proof suit and the circular wire go around my neck as he violently threw me into the cubicle that he was hiding.
My jaw collided with the toilet, sending a shock of pain through my jaw. I did not have time to recover from this as the Yotul pulled the circular wire and my throat and began to strangle me.
I tried to get up, but the Yotul placed his weight against me to the point where I couldn't leverage my body to get an angle to push him off, neither could I call for anyone to help me from this predator-diseased primitive as his wire continued to tighten against my throat.
I squirmed around, flailing my limbs as I tried to grab at the Yotul to no avail, my vision starting to blur as I kept flailing. I barely even registered the cubicle door closing when the Yotul lifted me up and pulled me towards him.
I was getting desperate now. I was gonna blackout now and die to this Yotul here and now in this cubicle. I was hoping for anything, for my pod-members to come in and here the struggle, for anything!!
Then I remembered the knife I had in my boot. I had used it only once during my entire service to the Guild but it had saved before. It can save me again now!!
Desperately, I forced myself against the wire noose, constricting me even further than it already had and I swore I felt my eyes bulge out. But it did give me the angle needed to get to the concealed sheath in the boot and-
There was a firm hand on my wrist.
"Not today, you fuck!" said a grizzled, phlegmy voice.
And with that sentence, the angle that I was in was kept fixed as the Yotul pushed his foot against my back, now sealing my fate.
"I already faced that trick once before. Fool me once, but I'll make sure you'll never fool me twice!" he snarled at me as my vision went black.

2023.06.10 18:26 sweetmomentslikethis My journey from loving a Marie Sexton romance to never wanting to read another book from this author again

(This ended up being longer than I anticipated, but when I went back to find quotes there was just...so much more than I remembered there being. And I still ended up cutting out a lot.)
A while ago, I read Trailer Trash by Marie Sexton and I loved it. It’s not a perfect book (I don’t want or need to read about homophobic violence for a story to feel “real” so it’s something I try to avoid), but it was perfect for me at the time I read it. I decided to search for other books by the author, and One Man’s Trash immediately stood out to me. Trailer Trash, One Man’s Trash, it seemed like a good omen. And I really liked it! It was a lot more flawed, however. I found the characters and plot a little frustrating at times, but that’s normal with a more grown up kind of story. But I had some reservations, and what really pinged my “this might be some bullshit” radar was this particular section:

“But it’s just like being part of the LGBT ‘community.’” He made quotation marks with his fingers around the word. “They give a lot of lip service to ‘diversity’ and open-mindedness—and most of them follow through—but there’s always this little, loudmouthed subset telling you how to behave and what to say. It starts out ‘all for one, and one for all,’ but by the end, somebody’s drawing lines in the sand, telling you to choose a side. You can’t be gay or bi or trans if you don’t vote a certain way, act a certain way, follow some ridiculous set of rules. They all want you to be a round little peg in a round fucking hole. They want you to pick a box and a label so they know just where to put you, rather than accepting that we’re all separate, unique people, and that our stories are all valid, no matter whether we fit in the box or not.” He stopped, feeling himself headed into one of the rants that only Phil and Gray or Charlie would have understood. The confusion on Taylor’s face was the response he was accustomed to. He took one more stab at it. “There’s always that pissed-off minority who think their ‘rules’ outweigh your right to live your life.”

I initially brushed it aside. I mean, I’ve known a few people who like to rant about this topic who also have a lot more extreme opinions to go along with it, so it reminded me of those people and it didn’t endear me to the character, but I don’t need to like a character to like the story. As long as it feels real and not like a mouthpiece for the author, you know? But that’s what I found troubling about this kind of sermonizing. I wondered if the author was about to get ahead of herself and make a habit of yanking me out of the story to deliver these rants. Fortunately, it wasn’t an issue. I ended up giving the book a strong 3.5 stars, and I even went back and skim-read it a second time. I found myself intrigued by the rest of the friend group (the aforementioned Phil, Gray, and Charlie) so I decided to read their stories too.
Book 2 in the series, Terms of Service, was somewhat like the first. Good points, bad points, a little less polished than I’d like, but intriguing enough to keep me turning the page. For a while at least. Because – you guessed it – this time we get double the amount of ranting in the form of a crotchety senior citizen who’s taking his turn serving as the author’s mouthpiece. He really badly wants to tell us how people need to take responsibility for their medical bills, and all about the problem with medicine today. He’s a nonagenarian with dementia, but thankfully he’s sharp enough at this point in time to really give us a sermon. One of the characters offers a token protest, but that’s just so the author can have an opportunity to rant some more.

“I’m not sure it’s that simple,” he said to Pops.
“Bah!” Pops gave another wave as if to send him on his way. “Of course it is. You get a doctor’s office on every corner instead of a Starbucks, suddenly they’d have to compete for our business. ‘Buy a pap smear, get a mammogram for free!’ That kind of thing. Suddenly, accepting a plate of cookies or a dozen fresh eggs as payment for a blood pressure check doesn’t seem so silly. But nobody talks about lowering the cost of procedures. All they talk about is premiums. Switching the burden of payment from the individual to the government

It’s paragraphs of this stuff, but you get the gist. I thought it was blessedly over, but nope, on the way home from their visit, his grandson (one of the MCs) has a fun childhood story for his love interest (would not blame you for skipping this part, but I found the tone so weird that I had to share the bulk of it):

“And then one day, Pops looks at my textbook and realizes I’m reading about the Cuban Missile Crisis. He takes the paper I’m writing on JFK, and he starts reading it, and he’s just shaking his head, saying, ‘no, no, no’”. Phil laughed. “I couldn’t believe it, because I knew the material. I’d read it twice! I knew I had everything right, and I told him so.
“So then he starts telling all the stuff that isn’t the text book. Like how JFK was under the care of the original Doctor Feelgood, who’d been in the White House that evening, giving Kennedy one of his famous ‘cocktails.’ Then they woke Kennedy in the middle of the night and hauled his ass into this emergency meeting about Russia putting nukes in Cuba. Pops had a book that contained a transcript of that meeting, and reading it, you can tell Kennedy’s so fucking high, he has no real idea what’s going on. At one point, he says something like, ‘Why would Russia do that? That’d be like us putting nukes in Turkey.’ And there’s a pause, and then one of the other people in the room says, ‘We did, sir.’”
They stopped at a red light, and it seemed to make Phil’s stream of words stop too, although this time, he was smiling. “It’s weird, because I’ve looked for that transcript more recently, and it doesn’t come up in a Google search. I mean, maybe twenty pages deep or something, but it’s buried. The only thing you’ll find is a transcript from the next morning, when he’s more with it.” He shook his head as the light turned green. “Anyway. Next thing I know, Pops is telling me all about JFK’s famous Camp David parties, just him, his political allies, Dr. Feelgood, and a few high-priced call girls. Pops talked for hours about how the lone gunman theory doesn’t make sense, how the Warren Report’s nothing but bullshit. At the time, it floored me. It was like this revelation, that history could be more interesting than just memorizing names and dates. That maybe there was stuff they didn’t want us to know.”

So he writes a report all about his grandpa's conspiracy theories and he gets an F. His mean overbearing father, who apparently is the villain of the story, made him write the report again. I mean, cool. It’s a story from his childhood, not much to see here. But the author doesn’t leave it alone. She really wants to hammer home her message:

“So, he’s kind of a conspiracy theorist?”
Phil practically rolled his eyes. “Have you ever considered how often we use that phrase to dismiss people simply because they disagree with us? I mean, Pops isn’t a moron. He knows the Earth is round. He doesn’t think the moon landing’s a hoax or anything. He reads constantly. He just has a few key things he can’t let go—”
“Like JFK?”
Phil nodded. “Like JFK. But really, he’s pretty reasonable. Now, wait until you meet Gray’s father. He’s a trip. He has two Ph.Ds. Probably the smartest, most intimidating guy I’ve ever met. And yet, he gets brushed off as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ because he questions the status quo.” He laughed. “I dare you to say those two words to his face.”

So deep.
I ended up DNF’ing this one, mostly because it was boring and I didn’t vibe with the couple, but I decided to try book 3 because that particular character had intrigued me the most so far.
I didn’t read the reviews beforehand. Why oh why didn’t I read the reviews beforehand? Because what the fuck was that?
Gray is a cop. Ex-military. And he has a lot of opinions about ~~social justice warriors~~. His love interest, Avery, is a younger man who spends a lot of time on Twitter and Tumblr and is every stereotype stuffed into one convenient straw man. Avery is a masochist and Gray is a sadist, so he's literally just there to get whipped and flogged while Gray rants about the spooky mainstream media. He even takes away Gray’s phone, and he suffers withdrawal like a drug addict, then magically finds himself happier. I mean, sure, okay. We could all probably do with less scrolling. But then he gets his phone back and suddenly turns into a mean and vicious harpy who’s snapping at everyone. Because he’s addicted to outrage, you see. And who doesn’t love an anvil falling from the sky?
If you want to get a feel for Gray, here are some words of wisdom from our Ben Shapiro-wannabe main character:

But the give-and-take, fact-based process of discussion and debate were lost on Avery. When Gray pointed out Avery’s argument resorted to the straw man fallacy, Avery only blinked at him in confusion. When Gray countered one of Avery’s points, Avery had no arguments. He had no logic. As soon as he was challenged, he resorted to name-calling. If Gray disagreed, he was automatically stupid or racist or mansplaining. Never mind that Avery couldn’t ever explain what about Gray’s point was wrong, or what part of it supposedly made him a racist.

I lost it at "He had no logic" fucking hell 😂 I was approaching cringe overload, but I obviously hate myself, because I just couldn’t look away from this gruesome wreck.

“You think you know everything that matters, and anybody who disagrees with you is ignorant or uneducated or a ‘fascist.’ But I’ve seen your tweets and your Tumblr posts and the ridiculous fucking memes you love so much. I’ve seen what you think qualifies as a rational argument, and I have to tell you, it’s neither rational, nor an argument. It’s nothing but self-righteous hot air.”

Hello, Marie? I didn’t realize this was a 3-way call. Kinda thought it was just gonna be me and the characters. It’s just, you’re butting in an awful lot. Can you hang up, please?
Apparently the answer is no, because she’s not done yet. Our main character conveniently meets a black woman who tells him she was shunned by her friends and family because she refused to vote for Hillary.

My husband and I, we talked about it, and we decided we were done voting for the lesser of two evils. My husband said that’s what got us into this mess, and he wasn’t doing it anymore. So we agreed to vote third party. And ever since then, my sister’s refused to speak to me except to attack me. Before that, my husband and I babysat their kids. We took them to Water World or the amusement park. But now she’s decided we’re both white supremacists in disguise. When that article came out online about how it’s okay to punch a Nazi, she sent it to me. She said, ‘Just so you know what to expect if you show up at Christmas.’”
Avery didn’t know what to say. It was absurd. Emily was one of the nicest people he’d ever met. How could anybody call her a Nazi?

FUCKING LOL. Are you kidding me right now? This author bypassed the sock puppet “as a black man” twitter account and just decided to write it into her book. Amazing. Why is this going on for chapter after chapter after chapter? Start a blog or something, I don’t caaaaare.

Robert spoke next, his voice so quiet, Avery barely heard him over the noise of the bar. “Try being a gay Republican.”

Ah, gay Republican, I was wondering if you’d make an appearance. I was expecting a lesbian in a wheelchair who’s all prepared to deliver her treatise on “cancel culture” but I guess you’ll do. So we have a a black woman and a gay man, I guess we're missing a Mexican Trump supporter. No worries, Gray's mother is here to save the day.

“You really voted for Trump?” he asked.
“I didn’t vote for him in the primaries,” she said without embarrassment. “I was horrified when he won. I thought about voting third party, but in the end, I sure didn’t want Hillary to win. So yeah, I voted for him.”
“But how could you?” Avery asked. “You’re a woman! Plus, you’re Latina.”
“I’m third-generation Mexican American. And yes, I’m female. You see those two things and think you know everything you need to know about me? But I suppose you think you’re not racist or sexist.”
It was said with a lightness that told him it more a jest than an accusation, but nevertheless, Avery’s cheeks began to burn.
“Go ahead,” Gray said. “Attack her. Call her a racist or a Nazi or a white supremacist.”
“Gray, stop!” Avery whispered, his cheeks burning hotter.

He also has a climate change-denier for a father, but this is getting long enough.
I just want to know what the author was thinking. Where was the common sense? Where was the self-awareness? Have your beliefs, that's your business, but keep it your business. Why are you shoe-horning them into your romance and ambushing your readers with your shitty “both sides are equally good and bad, really” manifesto, with a cast of literally unbelievable token characters, like that's a completely normal thing to do? That has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen someone do while simultaneously patting themselves on the back. And if her beef is with people who are chronically online, may I just point out that she's sitting at almost 56 THOUSAND tweets right now? So perhaps the call is coming from inside the house, idk.
Anyway, that was my rollercoaster journey with this particular author (is it still a rollercoaster when the lows vastly outnumber highs?) Maybe book 4 is magically tolerable, but I guess I'll never know 🤷🏽‍♀️

2023.06.10 17:02 affrinjcmv Weight Loss and Metabolism: A Comprehensive Guide to Achieving Your Goals

Introduction

Losing weight and improving metabolism are two common goals that many individuals strive for in their journey towards a healthier lifestyle. While the process may seem daunting, understanding the intricacies of weight loss and metabolism can greatly enhance your chances of success. In this article, we will explore various factors that influence weight loss and delve into effective strategies for boosting your metabolism. Additionally, we will discuss the potential benefits of BioPls Slim Pro, a natural supplement designed to support weight loss efforts.

Understanding Weight Loss

Weight loss occurs when the number of calories burned exceeds the number of calories consumed. This energy deficit prompts the body to tap into its fat stores for fuel, ultimately leading to weight reduction. However, it's important to note that weight loss is a multifaceted process influenced by several factors, including genetics, diet, physical activity, and overall lifestyle.

The Role of Metabolism

Metabolism refers to the chemical processes in our bodies that convert food into energy. It can be divided into two components: basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the thermic effect of food (TEF). BMR represents the energy expended at rest, while TEF accounts for the calories burned during digestion and absorption of food. Understanding your metabolism is crucial, as it directly impacts your ability to lose weight.

Factors Influencing Metabolism

Several factors can affect your metabolic rate. Age, gender, and body composition all play a significant role. Generally, metabolism tends to slow down with age, which can make weight loss more challenging. Men often have a higher BMR compared to women due to differences in muscle mass. Moreover, individuals with a higher muscle-to-fat ratio tend to have a faster metabolism since muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue.

Strategies for Boosting Metabolism

While genetics and age are beyond our control, there are various strategies we can employ to rev up our metabolism and support weight loss efforts. Here are a few effective methods:

1. Regular Exercise:

Engaging in both cardiovascular exercises and strength training can significantly increase your metabolic rate. Cardio exercises like running, swimming, or cycling burn calories during the activity, while strength training builds muscle mass, which leads to a higher BMR even at rest.

2. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT):

HIIT workouts involve short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods. This type of training has been shown to boost metabolism and burn more calories in a shorter amount of time.

3. Proper Nutrition:

Eating a balanced diet rich in whole foods is essential for a healthy metabolism. Include lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats in your meals. Additionally, avoid crash diets or severe calorie restrictions, as they can slow down your metabolism.

4. Stay Hydrated:

Drinking an adequate amount of water is crucial for maintaining optimal metabolism. Water helps with digestion, nutrient absorption, and calorie burning. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day.

Introducing BioPls Slim Pro

As you embark on your weight loss journey, you may consider incorporating natural supplements to support your efforts. BioPls Slim Pro is a promising supplement formulated to aid weight loss and enhance metabolism. It contains a unique blend of natural ingredients that have been carefully selected for their potential fat-burning and appetite-suppressing properties.
BioPls Slim Pro is designed to boost your metabolism, increase energy levels, and promote fat loss. Its ingredients, such as green tea extract, Garcinia Cambogia, and black pepper extract, have been scientifically studied for their weight loss benefits. However, it's important to note that supplements are not magic pills, and they work best when combined with a healthy lifestyle, exercise, and a balanced diet.

Conclusion

Weight loss and metabolism are interconnected processes that require a comprehensive approach. By understanding the factors influencing weight loss, implementing effective strategies to boost metabolism, and considering natural supplements like BioPls Slim Pro, you can optimize your chances of achieving your weight loss goals. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, patience, and dedication. Prioritize your overall health and well-being, and consult with a healthcare professional before starting any weight loss regimen or incorporating new supplements into your routine.

A DEFECT IN NEUROLOGY, NOT A DEFECT OF HUMANITY ADHD: A National Crisis
2023
To Larrakia Country I write to you from the lands and home of Larrakia, in the Northern Territory, which I am grateful to call my home too. Their elders, leaders and children are the owners and protectors of this land and its stories and songs. I am grateful for their hospitality and grace, considering the intolerance and violence that they continue to endure. I dedicate my work and myself to support their stewardship, in whatever role I am asked.
To my sons You are incredible people already. This is one of the biggest things I think I will ever do to make the world you are growing up in a better place than the one I was born into. We have already endured so much together, yet you go from strength to strength. The Blue Witch’s days are numbered.
To E, A, J, M, Ki, N, P, B, Ke, and all the Spirited Children Some might think I paint a bleak picture in this document. You all know this isn’t even the half of it. You deserve the life you want to lead, anything less is a failure, and should be unacceptable to all.
To Dad, Star, Cat, Moh. It is a comfort to know you are somewhere better, when we are left here.
A DEFECT IN NEUROLOGY, NOT A DEFECT IN HUMANITY ADHD: A National Crisis
Abstract ADHD is the biggest and easiest dealt with human challenge of our time. It is a debilitating impairment, that is lifelong and brings no inherent benefits or superpowers. It has likely been a part of hominid neurology for 300,000 years, and in that time it has been systematically rejected by genetic evolution as an enormous set of risks to the survival of the human race. It brings earlier death, more disease, isolation, hopelessness. Making the people who live with it even more remarkable. I have seen neglect, abuse, cruelty and ignorance that would make Dickens blanch. ADHD is routinely rejected, shunned and left in-addressed by Psychiatrists, Paediatricians, Nurses, Teachers, Judges, Police, leaving families in ruins, good and vibrant people be turned to husks, and children as young as 7 turn to suicide.
Not understanding it, not treating it costs our economy $20.5baud a year, if not more.
The need for a national effort to tackle the challenges is paramount to the future success of all Australians.
Self and Evidenced Truths.

People with ADHD deserve recognition as living beings with rights, dignity, and aspirations despite our impairments.
Fundamental to those rights, dignity and aspirations being observed we deserve guaranteed access to our medications, support, workplace arrangements and other accommodations across our lifespan.
ADHD is a current and emerging Australian national crisis that demands immediate response in kind.
ADHD is a chronic neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorder that impairs many aspects of living, at all points of the lifespan (Faraone et al., 2015).
People diagnosed with ADHD face higher risks of other neurodevelopmental disorders, of suffering child abuse, experience school exclusions and engagement, discrimination, financial predation, other mental health problems, physical disorders, substance use, accidental injuries, chronic health problems and premature death, including suicide attempts and completions. Children are twice as likely to die by age 10, adults are 5 times more likely to be dead by age 25 (Barkley et al., 2022).
Stimulant medications should be used as soon as possible and practicable following a diagnosis. Several Stimulant medications are safe and effective for treating ADHD and for preventing many adverse outcomes. Non-Stimulant and Non-medication treatments are less effective. (Storebø et al., 2015).
ADHD costs Australia $20.4 billion per year in lost productivity, wellbeing, and public services (Deloitte Access Economics, 2019).
There is a need for more awareness, education, and training explaining what ADHD is, as many people with ADHD remain undiagnosed and untreated due to ignorance, bias, or incompetence (Faraone et al., 2019).
Australia’s attitude towards ADHD costly, uncoordinated, and unfair. This harms people with ADHD in multiple ways, such as limiting their ability to manage their symptoms, increasing their financial burden, and reducing their social support (Australian Clinical Practice Guidelines for ADHD Working Group, 2022).

As a Matter of Urgency

The Commonwealth Government must fund a co-designed national awareness campaign for ADHD, highlighting its medical nature, the importance of early and persistent intervention and its impacts across the lifespan, and all aspects of modern life as a matter of priority. a. With particular focus on key peak bodies; Australian Health Practitioners Registration Agency and its members, the Australian Council of Unions and its Members, Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority Curriculum, Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Australian Finance Industry Association, Law Council of Australia, Police Federation of Australia, Universities Australia, and Australian Council for Private Education and Training.
The Commonwealth Government must expand the professions that can screen, assess and diagnose ADHD to include Teachers, General Practitioners, Mental Health Nurse Practitioners, Midwives and Remote Area Nurses, as well as expand telehealth options for remote areas.
The Commonwealth Government must establish a national framework for ADHD assessment and support that clarifies roles and responsibilities of different agencies and ensures seamless transitions across life stages and reduce costs for government.
The Commonwealth Government should mandate that bachelors, postgraduate degrees, and Community Service certificates and diplomas in health sciences, enrolled and registered nursing, education, community health, criminal and industrial law and allied health fields include compulsory modules in ADHD, co-designed with people with ADHD.
The Commonwealth Government must delist methylphenidate, amphetamines, and their various formulations as Schedule 8 drugs and relist them as Schedule 4, they must also expand Medicare and PBS coverage for ADHD medication to include all people with a diagnosis of ADHD. This would reduce the stigma and discrimination associated with ADHD medication use as well as simplify the prescription and dispensing process for people with ADHD and their prescribers.
The Commonwealth Government must fund presentation sensitive research on ADHD and its comorbidities, as well as presentation responsive training for anyone who cares for, educates, works with, or employs people with ADHD.
The Commonwealth Government must direct new training and mentoring programs for practitioners, staff and community and health service delivery areas, focusing on Peri-Natal Services, Daycare and Primary School staff. Rationales Personal Experience My personal experience is as a father of a child with ADHD and as a sufferer of undiagnosed ADHD myself. My professional experience with government, hospitals, mental health, drug and alcohol case management, and the elderly, has led me to being an Advocate.

I suffered countless unnecessary medical, emotional, economic hardships and injustices throughout my life because of my undiagnosed ADHD. As a child I experienced routine ridicule, shame, and punishments. I was regularly abused and excluded by teachers, both immediate and extended family, peers, and random members of the public, verbally and physically. For symptoms, colloquially and incorrectly referred to as behaviours, of my Combined Presentation of ADHD. Combined Presentation of ADHD means that I have both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms. Symptoms are the observable signs of ADHD, such as difficulty paying attention, being easily distracted, fidgeting, talking excessively, not saying much, daydreaming, working memory issues, etc. Symptoms that informed my personality and identity, that I was targeted for, abused for.
As I grew up, contrary to popular belief that ADHD symptoms get better as people age, the effects of my undiagnosed ADHD quickly got worse. The lack of access to university due to needing to work to support myself and look after my ailing father put me in unskilled retail positions, which became administrative positions before accidentally falling into Community Services. Through those careers, the constant workplace bullying and harassment prior to my diagnosis, needing to leave positions that were constantly either short contract or put up for recruitment where my skills, knowledge and wisdom meant nothing has left me with a colourful and varied career. The experience is nice but puts me at a significant disadvantage as I get older. My undiagnosed ADHD made it possible for me to perform well in different jobs. But as I juggled time management, organisation, communication, and self-regulation I would be burnt out as I self-medicated with work, and I would become expendable. Less time in positions, less experience, less expertise, less money, less able to provide for my family, less able to take part in society.
Despite my experience with health systems and supporting disabilities, my son who is 5, is facing similar barriers already and he is aware of himself. Being unable to access practical support for his disability, medication has been rationed as though we should be grateful to be receiving any assistance at all. We are 6 months post the last review, and the practitioner we saw last, hopefully mistakenly, provided us with incorrect information. Both his school and education department in the Northern Territory refused to allow therapists into the school to do observations without onerous and impractical limitations, not least of which was opposing observations in classes which effectively means no inclusive practices. It has come to the point where, to conserve his and my own mental well-being we will have to close his plan out. This shows how the education system continues to fail to accommodate the needs of children with ADHD and violates their right to inclusive education, and not much has changed in 30 years.
The emotional and physical toll of everyday life with ADHD and past traumas makes life an ongoing struggle. My Combined Presentation ADHD, physically, is managed, but even that is tenuous. My health is up in the air, as getting regular reviews with a psychiatrist is impossible, despite the medication I am on being perfectly safe and the prognosis of my condition is unremarkable while on medication. Regular reviews with a psychiatrist are essential for monitoring my medication dosage, side effects, and effectiveness, as well as for addressing any other mental health issues that I endure. You’ll need to start another Inquiry before I talk about those though.
ADHD has meant more serious consequences, and harder to rectify situations: homelessness joblessness, discrimination, isolation. I am still standing but am never safe from them. These are some of the ways that ADHD, diagnosed and undiagnosed, has impacted my life. Due to the lack of recognition, respect, dignity that I deserve as a person, disability or not. I received my Diagnosis less than 3 years ago and already I have experienced the best stability and success I have ever had. In this 3 years I have been homeless, unemployed, suffering severe trauma and depression. All dealt with alone.
My NDIS application is now 18 months into its appeal. I wonder if it will survive longer than the AAT?
ADHD assessments and diagnosis: Children and adults with ADHD often face various gaps and barriers in accessing appropriate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment services for their condition. These include lack of awareness and recognition of ADHD among health professionals and the public; stigma and discrimination associated with ADHD; variability in diagnostic practices and criteria; limited availability and accessibility of specialist services; high out-of-pocket costs for diagnosis and treatment; lack of coordination and integration of care across different sectors; insufficient monitoring and evaluation of treatment outcomes; and lack of evidence-based guidelines and quality standards for ADHD care. These gaps and barriers contribute to the underdiagnoses and under treatment of ADHD in Australia and limit the potential benefits of early intervention and quality care.
ADHD management: Qualified and experienced practitioners who can assess and diagnose ADHD in children and adults are in short supply, especially in rural and remote areas. This leads to long waiting times, inflated costs, and inconsistent quality of assessments, and cascading health outcomes. People with the Inattentive presentation of ADHD, which is predominantly girls and women, face significant gender bias in ADHD assessments, support services and research. This leads to under recognition, misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment and supports of both inattentive presentation ADHD and female-specific issues related to ADHD. Different sectors and levels of government fail to coordinate and integrate their support services for people with ADHD. This creates gaps, overlaps and confusion in accessing education, health, disability, and social services. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) staff, and feeder service staff incorrectly prevent and discourage people with ADHD as a primary disability from making access requests. This flows to review mechanisms, including the Australian Administrative Tribunal. This excludes and isolates many people with ADHD from accessing not just NDIS support, but any support at all. Many people with ADHD cannot afford or access ADHD medication, especially those who are not eligible for Medicare or PBS subsidies. This limits their treatment options and affects their quality of life.
The impact of ADHD on individuals, families, and society: Children and adults with ADHD have a significantly reduced life expectancy and are more likely to die prematurely from various causes, such as accidents, suicide, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and substance abuse. The reduction in life expectancy ranges from 9 to 13 years for people with ADHD compared to those without ADHD. The risk of premature death is higher for those with more severe ADHD symptoms, comorbid disorders, and untreated ADHD. In Australia, this means that (statistically) about 1,900 deaths per year would be attributable to ADHD, but further study would be necessary to investigate. Children and adults with ADHD are more likely to suffer from various chronic physical and mental health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, allergies, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, substance use disorders, and antisocial behavior. These conditions can impair the quality of life and functioning of people with ADHD and increase their health care costs and utilization. In Australia, the annual health system cost of ADHD is estimated to be $546 million. Children and adults with ADHD face various economic challenges and disadvantages, such as lower educational attainment, lower income, higher unemployment, higher poverty, lower productivity, higher criminality, higher health care expenses, and higher social service costs. The annual cost of ADHD to the Australian society is estimated to be $20.4 billion, which comprises $12.8 billion in financial costs and $7.6 billion in wellbeing costs.
Awareness of ADHD: ADHD is not a result of poor parenting, low intelligence, or moral weakness. ADHD is a lifelong condition that can persist from childhood to adulthood and affect various aspects of life. The importance of recognising ADHD as a genetic, neurological medical condition, requiring medication as a first line of successful management, and not a behavioural issue, cannot be overstated. Health professionals, educators, employers and the public lack awareness and understanding of ADHD, which causes stigma, discrimination and underdiagnoses of ADHD. Research funding for ADHD in Australia is inadequate, which hampers the development of evidence-based practice guidelines, interventions, and policies for people with ADHD. This also limits the opportunities for innovation and collaboration in addressing the challenges posed by ADHD. Children with ADHD typically receive a disproportionate percentage of school based harassment, both from peers, and education staff. Routinely EAPs are formulated in opposition to recommendations made by specialist practitioners, and children are severely punished for not meeting the often odious or impossible goals. Detentions, responsibilities, suspensions, supervision and expulsions are common place. In the classroom, ignorant and unqualified teachers harass students and parents to stop behaviours they, from no basis, deem developmentally inappropriate. Time off to be with the excluded children is often supported by employers, higher education facilities, until they decide that enough is enough. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that has a strong genetic basis. ADHD is associated with structural and functional differences in the brain, especially in the regions involved in attention, executive function, emotion regulation and reward processing. ADHD is also influenced by environmental factors that can affect gene expression and brain development. The name ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is inadequate and misleading for several reasons. First, it implies that the core symptoms of the disorder are only attention deficit and hyperactivity, while ignoring the causal and key features such as impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and executive dysfunction. Second, it suggests that attention deficit and hyperactivity are always present and equally severe in all cases of ADHD, while ignoring the heterogeneity and variability of the disorder across individuals, subtypes, and contexts. Third, it conveys a negative and stigmatising view of the disorder as a deficit or a problem, while ignoring the strengths and potential of people with ADHD.
Conclusion The writing is on the wall, whether you read it or not is irrelevant to its truth; improve the outcomes for people with ADHD and the entire nation will benefit, go on ignoring its magnitude and we will continue the cycle again, until the next generation finally addresses it. Addressing it represents net savings for the Commonwealth Government, and the states and territories. I think we could find other ways to spend $7 billion dollars than on badly managing ADHD in Australia.
I am happy to answer more questions or speak to any of the points raised herein.

2023.06.10 16:29 Willis_Brown How to plan an assignment – beginner tips.

When planning an assignment, having the right mindset is essential. A solid plan can help you break down tasks and organize your thoughts to complete any project successfully. Here are some tips on how to plan an effective assignment:
Break it down:
Before starting work, identify all the steps involved in completing the task and list them chronologically. This will be your roadmap as you progress with your work and complete sections one by one till the finish line.
Identify resources:
List out the required resources which will come into play when working on each step - such as research materials, software tools or hardware that you'll require etc. Ensure all these items are within easy reach when needed so there are minimal delays while progressing through a stage of your assignment planning process.
Set deadlines & milestones:
Determine a realistic timeline for yourself according to the complexity & length of the assignment, along with necessary guidance from advisors available during this process. Split projects into important milestones/checkpoints throughout their duration so that review progresses regularly before the final submission date arrives, eliminating surprises later on regarding results and quality assurance standards met upon turning.
Monitor Performance & Review Progress:
Take breaks between stages but ensure progress isn't lost due to lack of diligence upon follow-up. Conduct regular reviews making changes towards completing goals set forth initially start beginning including major coursemates other students alike may contribute ideas presented earlier worth considering implementing such improvements time intensive activity readjusting schedule parameters reassure accuracy delivered output expected specifications given.

2023.06.10 15:38 objectways What is Image Moderation?

Image moderation is the process of reviewing and analyzing images to identify and flag potentially inappropriate or offensive content. This can include images that contain nudity, violence, hate speech, or other types of content that may violate community standards or local laws and regulations.
Image moderation is typically performed by human moderators, who review images and manually flag any content that is deemed inappropriate. However, as the volume of user-generated content continues to increase, it is becoming increasingly difficult for human moderators to keep up with the demand.

2023.06.10 14:29 dariyooo DaKanji 3 the first cross-platform, fully offline Japanese dictionary

At the beginning of 2021, I first published DaKanji as an offline stroke order independent Kanji lookup tool for Linux, Mac, and Windows written in Python. Because of the positive Feedback I got here I was motivated to continue working on DaKanji. Fast forward a bit, I rewrote DaKanji in Dart and published it first for Android, slowly extending it to iOS, MacOS, Linux, and Windows.
After taking a break from DaKanji (and randomly starting to learn Spanish), I decided to apply for a scholarship to study in Japan. For this, I wanted to have something stand out in my application and I decided to add an offline dictionary to DaKanji. And finally, after a long, long development time, DaKanji 3 is finally out. I am super excited that this new version has finally shipped! DaKanji is a passion project of mine, and I have worked really hard the last year to build the best fully offline, responsive, and cross-platform (Android, iOS, MacOS, Linux, Windows) Japanese <-> English, German, French, Russian, ... dictionary I could. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate you checking it out and letting me know what you think, what to improve, giving a positive review, or maybe even recommending it to your friends
Here are the new Features:

Inbuilt dictionary
- Search with kanji, kana or romaji
- Search Kanji by radical or draw them
- Multi-language support: English, German, French, Spanish, ...
- Conjugation of verbs, adjectives, copula
- Detailed information about Kanjis
- 6000+ audios
- Pitch accent
- Example sentences
Text processing screen
- Add furigana to any text
- Look up unknown words using the inbuilt dictionary
- Colorize words based on their Part of Speech
- Translate using DeepL

You can get the release from: PlayStore, AppStore, SnapStore, Microsoft Store, Github
Lastly, I would like to give you a rough idea of in which direction this project is heading, the next 3.x versions will add more features to make DaKanji not only a word lookup dictionary but a tool to understand Japanese texts and effectively learn from them. This includes features such as word lists, Anki integration, grammar lookup, chat GPT integration, a discussion section to ask questions, and likely, yomichan dictionary support.After that, DaKanji will receive support for directly using the dictionary on different sources such as videos, pdfs, ebooks, ...
Thank you a lot for reading till the (and maybe using DaKanji). If you have any problems with it, let me know.

2023.06.10 14:18 SubjectBuffalo0 Dropshipping Candles: A Lucrative Niche Business Opportunity

https://preview.redd.it/sln5e814l65b1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=7720e34e791e67913bfa5d656b03ebeb64e40ae1
When it comes to starting an online business, dropshipping has become a popular option in recent years. One of the most profitable niches in the dropshipping industry is candles. With the increasing demand for scented candles and eco-friendly alternatives, dropshipping candles can be a lucrative business opportunity. In this article, we will explore the benefits of dropshipping candles, product ideas, and marketing strategies to help you succeed in this niche market.

The Advantages of Dropshipping Candles

One of the main advantages of dropshipping candles is that you don’t need to hold inventory. With dropshipping, you simply list the products on your online store and when a customer places an order, the supplier ships the candles directly to the customer. This reduces the cost and risk of holding inventory and frees up your time to focus on other aspects of your business.
Another advantage of dropshipping candles is that it is a low-cost business model. You can start with minimal investment, and as your business grows, you can expand your product range and marketing strategies. Dropshipping also allows you to test different product ideas and niche markets, without committing to a large inventory.

Product Ideas for Dropshipping Candles

There are many different types of candles that you can sell in your dropshipping business. Here are some product ideas to consider:

Soy Candles

Not only are soy candles more eco-friendly, but they also last longer. As such, soy candles are made from soy wax that is 100% natural and derived from soybeans. Soy wax burns slower than typical candle paraffin wax. So, our customers can enjoy their candles for a while, which increases the perceived value of the product.
Moreover, while most candles emit black soot, soy candles burn much cleaner. Thus, they don’t require any chemical amplifiers to produce a nice candle scent. And, although they are typically made in classic candle jars, they can be adapted into pillar candles. With this in mind, ensure to offer customers variations whenever possible so the sales potential is higher.

Beeswax Candles

These types of candles are brighter and burn for a longer period. Because they have a higher melting point in comparison to other candle waxes, they emit a brighter, warm-toned flame.
Thus, beeswax candles are perfect for a cozy night with our favorite book. Plus, beeswax candles emit a soft scent that ranges from honey to hints of pollen. There are various kinds of beeswax candles. So, be sure to add multiple options in your store to increase your product range and sales.
Beginner’s Tip: Offer different-sized candle holders to be paired with beeswax candles as a cross-selling technique. This will enable you to increase your average order value.

Scented Candles

Scented candles are one of the most popular types of candles on the market. They come in a variety of aromas such as lavender, vanilla, and peppermint. You can target specific audiences by offering scented candles that cater to their preferences. For instance, you can offer candles with scents that promote relaxation and stress relief, or candles that are designed for meditation and yoga.

LED Candles

LED candles are a great option for those who want the ambiance of candles without the safety hazards associated with open flames. They are battery-operated and can be used in a variety of settings such as weddings, restaurants, and spas.
Furthermore, LED candles are composed of energy-efficient light bulbs, making them easy to install in existing fittings. So, where can we place LED candles? Well, with their decorative aesthetic, various color temperatures, and dimmable features, they’re ideal for chandeliers or wall sconces.
With this in mind, you can differentiate yourself from the competition by offering LED candles in your stores. When you stand out among all the dropshippers, you’ll rake in higher profits!

Pillar Candles

Pillar candles are a classic choice that never goes out of style. They come in a variety of sizes and colors and can be used for decoration or as a centerpiece. You can offer pillar candles in different shapes such as columns or cylinders to cater to customers’ preferences.

Birthday Candles

Birthday candles are a must-have for any celebration. You can offer a variety of options such as traditional candles, numbered candles, and themed candles to cater to different occasions and age groups.

Expanding Your Product Range

Expanding your product range is another effective way to maximize your profit potential in your candle dropshipping business. Here are some product ideas to consider:

Candle Accessories

Candle accessories such as holders, snuffers, and lighters can be a great addition to your product range. These products can provide an upselling opportunity and increase your average order value.

Aromatherapy Candles

Aromatherapy candles are another popular product that you can consider adding to your product range. These candles use essential oils to promote relaxation and stress relief, making them popular among customers who value wellness and self-care.

Custom Candles

Custom candles are a unique and personalized product that can set your business apart from the competition. You can offer custom-designed candles for weddings, corporate events, or special occasions.

Marketing Strategies for Dropshipping Candles

To succeed in the dropshipping candles niche, it’s important to have a solid marketing strategy. Here are some ideas to consider:

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is one of the most effective ways to reach your target audience. You can create social media pages for your business and post high-quality images of your products. You can also use social media advertising to target specific demographics and interests.

Email Marketing

Email marketing is another effective way to reach your customers. You can create a mailing list of subscribers and send them newsletters, promotions, and updates about your products.

Influencer Marketing

Influencer marketing is a popular trend in the dropshipping industry. You can collaborate with influencers in your niche to promote your products to their followers. This can help you reach a wider audience and build brand awareness.

Upselling and Cross-Selling

Upselling and cross-selling involve offering customers additional products or upgrades to their existing purchases. This can help increase your average order value and maximize your profits.

Pricing Strategies

One of the most important factors to consider when maximizing your profit potential is setting the right price for your products. Here are some pricing strategies to consider:

Competitive Pricing

You can set your prices based on the competition in the market. Research what other online stores are charging for similar products and set your prices accordingly. Be sure to offer competitive prices and marketing promotions to attract customers.

Value-Based Pricing

Value-based pricing involves setting prices based on the benefits that the customer will receive from the product. For instance, you can offer unique scents or eco-friendly options that justify a higher price point.

Bundling

Bundling involves offering multiple products for a lower total price than if each product was purchased separately. This can help increase your average order value and encourage customers to purchase more products.
