Therapists who work with eating disorders often hear stories about the crushing impact of multigenerational criticism about weight, body type, and appearance. Our patients speak to us about the multiple meanings of food, weight, and body shape and about how these meanings are embedded in complex familial and cultural systems. As we listen, we try to understand and emotionally resonate with the deep anguish our patients convey. We are excited to welcome Tom Wooldridge, PsyD, ABPP, FIPA, CEDS-S, who is chair of the psychology department at Golden Gate University, a licensed psychologist, and a psychoanalyst. He authored Understanding Anorexia Nervosa in Males (2016), Psychoanalytic Treatment of Eating Disorders (2018), Eating Disorders (2022), and co-edited Advancing Psychotherapy for the Next Generation. His work has been featured in Newsweek, Slate, and WebMD.

From an early age, we're taught that lying is bad. But, is it? What drives someone to lie? Is all lying inherently bad? How does lying intersect with our internal struggles and vulnerabilities? These are just a few questions I had before my conversation with Tom. There are a lot of reasons as to why someone may lie. But here's the thing - lying isn't a black-and-white issue, especially when it comes to individuals grappling with eating disorders. There's a profound connection between lying, shame, and vulnerability in this context. Tom Wooldridge, PsyD, ABPP, CEDS-S is Chair in the Department of Psychology at Golden Gate University as well as a psychoanalyst and board-certified, licensed psychologist. He has published journal articles and book chapters on topics such as eating disorders, masculinity, technology, and psychoanalytic treatment. He has written 3 books including, Understanding Anorexia Nervosa in Males (2016), Psychoanalytic Treatment of Eating Disorders: When Words Fail and Bodies Speak (2018), and Eating Disorders (New Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis) (2022). Tweetable Quotes “How do we understand someone's relationship with the truth in a much more complex way as opposed to just saying ‘Well that's just someone's eating disorder.'” - Rachelle Heinemann "Often people have a kind of outward presentation of indifference or commitment to whatever behavior they're engaged in. But maybe, just maybe there's ambivalence in there." - Tom Wooldridge "You could say, well, there is a 0.5% chance that you'll die of the coronavirus. Well, that's just gonna make a kid anxious. What they need to hear is, no honey, it's gonna be okay." - Tom Wooldridge "I don't rule out that [confrontation] could never be productive. But for most patients, most of the time, they're lying for reasons." - Tom Wooldridge "Most of the time I would hope to get to a place where we could speak about the deception, but usually only after quite a bit of groundwork has been laid." - Tom Wooldridge Resources Grab the replay of my Basics of Assessment and Early Treatment of Eating Disorder Webinar Grab my Journal Prompts here!

Esta é a posição da Federação das Indústrias Portuguesas Agro-Alimentares. A situação internacional é complexa. Manter o IVA zero, diz o presidente da FIPA, Jorge Henriques, seria uma "medida de cautela".

"I made a film for PepWeb on the research of Beatrice Beebe. I made the video for her picture book, The Mother-Infant Interaction Picture Book, and various other short films. These are deep dives into mother-infant dyads that reveal something, i.e. rupture and repair, various kinds of dyadic interchanges. These are available for free on YouTube. That's another way that I use my analytic self and my documentary maker self together. I'm much happier with the YouTube films  even though they're less produced because they reach a wide audience - they are for parents, not clinicians. I want to get the story of this way of thinking or various ways of working, or psychoanalysis itself out to the greater public because I'm such an evangelizer for it. It changed my life in so many ways, and I think it's a very different animal than what the wider world (if they've heard of it at all) thinks that it is - it's so alive these days, so integrative, and so worthy of letting people know.”    Episode Description: We began with Karen sharing with us her journey from documentary filmmaker to psychoanalyst. She discusses her immersion in the world of cinema verité - "a camera capturing life" - as the pathway that brought her to train in psychoanalysis. We consider the similarities and differences between these ways of thinking and how she feels that for her, they are additive in deepening her listening abilities. She describes her films of Beatrice Beebe's work, how she serves as a consultant to filmmakers, and how she often treats those in the field, especially in regard to their (over)involvement with trauma. We close with Karen's recommendations for using YouTube to let the wider community know about psychoanalysis. Our Guest: Karen Dougherty is a Psychoanalyst (FIPA) and documentary filmmaker. She has an MA in English Literature (McGill) and an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies (University of Sheffield). She is a clinical supervisor and course instructor at the FPP and the Advanced Training Program in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, with a particular focus on attachment, relationship issues, and trauma. In addition to her private practice in rural Amaranth, Ontario, Karen is the host of the podcast for the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society, Conversations in Psychoanalysis. Since 2022, she has been a member of the IPA Think Tank on the Resolution of Intractable Conflict, for which she produces a YouTube Channel. The recipient of a PEPweb video grant, she has made several films on the research of Dr. Beatrice Beebe for clinicians and parents. She continues to collaborate on documentary projects as a researcher and story consultant (recent films include Toxic Beauty; Category: Woman, both directed by Phyllis Ellis). Bridging these two careers, Karen is both a communications consultant for psychoanalytic organizations and a mental health consultant for film and television.   Linked Episode: Episode 97: Off the Couch and into the Political Arena with John, Lord Alderdice FRCPsych – IPA Off the Couch   Recommended Links:   Karen Dougherty    The CPS podcast will be accessed through the CPS website.   The PEPweb citation for the documentary for clinicians: Dougherty, K., Beebe, B., Margolis, A., Altstein, R., Berman, J. & Mathieson, G.

durée : 01:25:00 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - En septembre 1998, le musicien et cinéaste Bruno Monsaingeon est l'invité de l'émission "Opus" sur France Culture. Au micro de Claude Kiejman, il raconte les coulisses de son film documentaire consacré au grand pianiste russe Sviatoslav Richter (1915-1997). Depuis le début des années 1970, Bruno Monsaingeon n'a cessé de filmer la musique et les plus grands interprètes de son temps : Yehudi Menuhin, Glenn Gould, Nadia Boulanger, Rostropovitch, Grigori Sokolov, Paul Tortelier et bien d'autres encore. Mais dans l'imposante filmographie de Bruno Monsaingeon (une centaine de documentaires), Richter l'Insoumis occupe une place particulière. "Richter est un homme sans désir, sans ambition, sans intention. Il joue." Achevé en 1997, récompensé d'un FIPA d'or, ce portrait de deux heures et demie a été le fruit d'un long travail de collaboration avec le légendaire pianiste russe Sviatoslav Richter, durant les dernières années de sa vie. Ce film restera un document d'autant plus exceptionnel que Richter n'aimait ni se montrer ni s'exprimer autrement qu'avec la musique. Un document musical, mais aussi historique sur l'existence d'un citoyen soviétique virtuose, né en 1915 en Ukraine et mort à Moscou en 1997. À écouter "La Nuit rêvée de Caroline Champetier" par Albane Penaranda.

The paternal function is one of the most embedded concepts both in the singular dimension of clinical thinking and in the extended of social functioning. It underlies, for example, one of the foundational elements of the psychoanalytic method: the very idea of “Analytic Setting” could not exist without a paternal function.  In today's episode, thanks to the work of Michael J Diamond, we will explore its many aspects, including the construction of a triangular space, the role of the Third in the internal functioning of the subject, and the question of limits. We will also delve into more specific characteristics, such as the tenderness and sensory intimacy between a little boy and his father. We might say that this podcast episode is like a "child" of Michael J Diamond's recent book published by Routledge and entitled: "Masculinity and Its Discontents”, in which he studies, as the subtitle says: “The Male Psyche and the Inherent Tensions of Maturing Manhood”.

Diamond, PhD, FIPA is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies.  His major publications are on psychoanalytic technique and analytic mindedness; masculinity, femininity, and gender theory; fathering and the paternal function; trauma and dissociation; hypnosis and altered states; and group processes and social action. He has written five books including today's featured book on Masculinity and Its Discontents: The Male Psyche and the Inherent Tensions of Maturing Manhood published by Routledge. His most recent book on applied psychoanalysis, Ruptures in the American Psyche: Containing Destructive Populism in Perilous Times, was just published (by Phoenix Publishing).  His other major books include My Father Before Me: How Fathers and Sons Influence Each Other Throughout Their Lives and an edited book on The Second Century of Psychoanalysis: Evolving Perspectives on Therapeutic Action (with Chris Christian).

Emotions that aren't expressed through words don't just fizzle away…they get channeled through the body and our bodies and behaviors will do the expressing for us. So what in the WORLD do we do about it if we're not interested in having an eating disorder do the communication for us?    Tom is a psychologist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Supervisor. He's a psychoanalyst and chairman of the Department of Psychology at Golden Gate University. He has published several articles and books, the most recent (and my favorite) being Psychoanalytic Treatment of Eating Disorders: When Words Fail and Bodies Speak.    He is on the Scientific Advisory Council of the National Eating Disorders Association, faculty at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California and the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology. He is also the Assistant Clinical Professor at USFC's Medical School, and finally, he has a private practice in Berkley, California.    So, he's just a little bit busy.    In this episode, we talk about what psychoanalysis and deep work therapy are. We break it down in easy-to-understand terms, discuss why it's actually helpful, and most importantly, how it can be helpful to YOU.     We'll take the most complex ideas about psychoanalysis and break it down in ways that help you start to think creatively about your own life, your relationship with food, and your recovery.   Tweetable Quotes “If we don't have access to words and images and narratives, then the feelings have to go somewhere else. Where else can they go? They go into the body and behaviors.” – Tom Wooldridge   “One way to think about eating disorders is that people have feelings they don't have conscious awareness of… but those feelings still have to be regulated, and one way they can be regulated is through a binge, through a purge, through restriction.” – Tom Wooldridge   “If somebody is in a place of starving themselves, even to the point of potential death, what is their underlying emotional reality? It's very painful, and it's hard to meet it with our own open-heartedness. If we [therapists] can do that (which is not an easy thing to do), we can really start to understand that person from the inside.” – Tom Wooldridge Resources: Tom Wooldridge's Website   Tom Wooldridge's Books:   Eating Disorders: A Contemporary Introduction   Understanding Anorexia Nervosa in Males: An Integrative Approach   Psychoanalytic Treatment of Eating Disorders: When Words Fail and Bodies Speak LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who may need this podcast by sharing this episode.

I play [piano] regularly with a violinist every Wednesday night - my violinist comes with her student to my house and we play two violin and piano duets first. Right now, we are working on the Franck Sonata and it is so much fun! It is so great and I am so happy I can do that! When I am playing and I am passionate, the pain stays in the background enough for me to feel that I am in another world.   Episode Description: We begin by outlining the nature of chronic pain - how pervasive it is and its association with depression, sleep disorders, obesity, and smoking. We also referenced its link to childhood traumatic events. We review the challenges of finding physicians with expertise in both the medical and the emotional aspects of living with chronic pain. Michele describes her work leading support groups for pain sufferers and the patience needed to allow for the uncovering of internal emotional distress. We end with Michele outlining her recommendations for those with pain, for those who are their caregivers, and finally for those health care providers who care for them.

Cette semaine, Un doc Un soir vous propose deux épisodes simultanés pour un thème aussi complexe que prisé: le passage à l'âge adulte. Deux épisodes pour deux films: Chante ton bac d'abord de David André, sorti en 2014, et Les bonnes conditions de Julie Gavras, sorti en 2018. Deux chroniques sociales très différentes pour aborder l'adolescence, le déterminisme social, les choix de vie et l'héritage familial. Pendant un an, l'année de la terminale, David André a suivi une bande de copains d'un lycée de Boulogne sur mer. C'est l'heure des choix, de la pression parentale pour les études, le travail, et le spectacle des rêves adolescents qui se brisent contre la réalité socio-économique des adultes dans une région en crise. Un documentaire social qu'on pourrait croire avoir déjà vu… jusqu'à ce que, surgissant de nulle part, les adolescents se mettent à chanter. David André a parsemé son film réaliste de morceaux de grâce, des parenthèses poétiques où les objets deviennent sujets. Surprenant. Le film, diffusé en avant-première sur France 2 et sorti simultanément en salles en 2014, reçoit le FIPA d'or du documentaire de création en 2014. Il est disponible en VOD sur Universciné, Orange VOD et Canal VOD. Les trois recommandations de David André: sa perle introuvable: Teenage, de Matt Wolf (2013): “un documentaire historique complètement barjo, avec une musique qui dure de la 1ère à la 90e minute, un seul morceau qui mixe des archives et qui raconte l'histoire de la rébellion adolescente des années 30 aux années 50”. Disponible sur Vimeo on demand une deuxième perle introuvable en bonus de la part de David André: Listen to me, Marlon, de Steve Riley (2015): “ils ont récupéré les bandes audio que Marlon Brando avait chez son hypnotiseur et son psy. Ils ont récupéré tous les entretiens qu'il a donné au cours au cours de sa vie. Et tout ça est mélange avec des archives, mixé sans tenir compte de la chronologie et ça fabrique un film où on découvre sa personnalité. C'est un montage prodigieux.” Disponible en VOD sur UniversCiné et sur Orange VOD, en streaming sur Vimeo sa référence: Scheme birds, de Ellen Fiske et Ellinor Hallin (sorti en 2019 au festival de Tribeca, où il est doublement primé): “C'est l'histoire d'un gang de filles dans des HLM en Ecosse, des filles-mères. Tout est à la fois très violent et en même temps, une des filles a un grand-père qui est colombophile, qui élève des pigeons. On dirait le film de Ken Loach, Kes, où un garçon se lie avec un faucon. Vraiment, c'est hyper beau.” Disponible sur Tënk, Amazon Prime Video, Vimeo on demand. le film qui lui a donné envie de réaliser: Riff Raff de Ken Loach (1990): Stevie vient de sortir de prison. Il est engagé au noir sur un chantier de construction. Il s'installe dans un squat avec ses collègues. Il y apprend la solidarité et le système D. Il rencontre Susan, paumée qui rêve de devenir chanteuse. “C'est une bande de copains qui font mille conneries pour joindre les deux bouts. C'est hilarant. Et donc, il y a une espèce de regard hyper bienveillant et sympa sur des gens qui sont un peu à la marge, mais c'est vraiment très drôle.” Disponible en VOD sur la Cinetek, UniversCiné, Canal VOD.

"Persecutory guilt is simply a form of self-attack, it is tormenting and it belongs to the paranoid schizoid position and it is narcissistic. People sometimes don’t fully recognize the narcissism in the paranoid-schizoid position, because it is in that position you are feeling hunted by predators… When we're in the depressive/reparative position other people are real to us, we not only are able to empathize with them we need to go beyond empathy to sympathy in the depressive position where I not only know how you feel, but I care and I wish to relieve your pain." Description: We discuss the differences between guilt that reflects concern for the other and alternatively self-abuse that serves narcissistic purposes. The former relates to Klein's depressive/reparative stage, labeled ‘conscience’ by Carveth, and the latter derives from the paranoid/schizoid position, labeled ‘superego’. We review varying technical approaches to each of these clinical presentations and note that the countertransference provides vital guidance in understanding the state of the analysand's mind. We close by considering how the capacity to bear guilt may be a measure of the maturation of a civilization.   Our Guest: Donald L Carveth, Ph.D., RP, FIPA is Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Social & Political Thought at York University in Toronto.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6173I PIU' GRANDI SCHIAVISTI DI NERI SONO STATI I MUSULMANI di Marco Di MatteoTra le tante menzogne storiografiche c'è la convinzione che la tratta degli schiavi rappresenti una pagina nera della storia umana da addebitare solo all'Occidente cristiano, mentre le comunità musulmane sarebbero state immuni da discriminazioni e pregiudizi razziali.In realtà, come riconosce lo storico francese Pétré-Grenouilleau, «ci sono tanti esempi, sparsi nel tempo e nello spazio, che ci indicano come la presenza di schiavi non fosse di minore importanza nel mondo musulmano». Anzi, ribadisce l'economista belga Paul Bairoch, «rispetto al commercio di schiavi neri organizzato dagli Europei, il commercio di schiavi del mondo musulmano è iniziato prima, è durato più a lungo e, cosa più importante, ha colpito un numero maggiore di schiavi». D'altra parte il Corano legittima la schiavitù dei non musulmani.Per lo studio del fenomeno è utile distinguere tre periodi: VII-XII secolo, XVI-XVIII secolo, XIX-XX secolo.1) LA SCHIAVITÙ ALLE ORIGINI DELL'ISLAM E NELL'IMPERO ABBASIDE (750-1258)Il commercio degli schiavi nell'Islam cominciò già nel 652, allorché il generale Abdallah ben Said impose ai cristiani della Nubia (alta valle del Nilo) la consegna di 360 schiavi all'anno. Nelle grandi estensioni mesopotamiche, all'inizio dell'era musulmana, gli schiavi neri erano impiegati per togliere lo strato di natron che ricopriva il terreno. Nell'impero dei califfi della dinastia degli Abbasidi, la schiavitù rappresentò uno dei pilastri economici. Fondamentale fu il loro utilizzo nella bonifica della regione del basso Iraq, che allora era un'immensa palude. Vi lavoravano soprattutto gli Zandj dell'Africa Orientale, che costituivano, per l'immenso numero, «greggi di uomini macchina» (Pétré-Grenouilleau) che, a causa delle durissime condizioni in cui operavano, morivano come mosche. Anche l'estrazione mineraria delle pietre preziose e dell'oro della Nubia, l'estrazione del sale di Tegazza e Taoudeni nel Sahara, nonché la pesca delle perle nelle regioni del Mar Rosso, erano affidate agli schiavi di colore. Questi potevano svolgere anche la funzione di scorta per le carovane, guardiani delle merci, portatori, magazzinieri, eunuchi addetti alla custodia degli harem, soldati negli eserciti.2) LA TRATTA DEI NERI TRA XVI E XVIII SECOLONel XVI secolo in prima linea nello sfruttamento della popolazione di colore fu il Marocco, che fece prosperare le sue piantagioni di canna da zucchero grazie al massiccio ricorso alla manodopera schiavile. La conquista marocchina della grande ansa del Niger ebbe come scopo principale proprio quello di procurarsi i prigionieri necessari a quell'impiego. Nel 1698 la conquista delle isole di Zanzibar e Pemba da parte del sultanato di Oman innescò un cospicuo traffico di schiavi neri, che venivano sfruttati sia nel commercio delle spezie che nella produzione di avorio, trasportato in condizioni disumane.A volte gli schiavi servivano anche come moneta di scambio per mercanzie e servizi vari. Oltre all'avorio, Zanzibar e Pemba detenevano il monopolio mondiale nella produzione di chiodi di garofano. Il lavoro dei neri era utilizzato anche nella produzione di miglio, sesamo e noci di cocco, nelle piantagioni di canna da zucchero di Pangani e in quelle di cereali sulle coste del Kenya. Nelle zone sahariane dell'Africa del Nord, così come negli spazi saheliani del Sud, gli schiavi furono addetti alla costruzione e manutenzione dei sistemi di irrigazione, in particolare delle foggara, gallerie in gran parte sotterranee che servivano a convogliare l'acqua. Nei dintorni del lago Ciad la tratta fu intensamente praticata dagli stati musulmani di Baguirmi, Wadai e Darfur. Nelle regioni del golfo Persico gli schiavi coltivavano la terra, curavano i palmeti, facevano la raccolta dei datteri.3) LO SCHIAVISMO TRA XIX E XX SECOLONell'Ottocento il ruolo degli schiavi impegnati nell'agricoltura nelle regioni saheliane crebbe ulteriormente. Senza di loro le oasi non avrebbero potuto funzionare e il deserto avrebbe rappresentato una barriera impenetrabile tra l'Africa tropicale e il mondo mediterraneo. Le montagne e le oasi del Sahara possono essere considerate l'equivalente arabo delle isole dell'Atlantico, cuore della tratta occidentale.Molto importante era anche la rotta che seguiva lo spartiacque tra il Nilo e il fiume Congo, frequentata da negrieri (come il famoso Tippu Tip di Zanzibar) provenienti dell'Africa orientale, dove promotori del commercio di schiavi furono i popoli musulmani Yao, Fipa, Sangu e Bungu. Il sultanato di Jumbe, che si sviluppava intorno al lago Nyasa, fu istituito nel 1846 proprio con lo scopo di favorire la tratta. Nelle regioni del Mar Rosso in questo periodo fu ulteriormente incrementata, mediante l'utilizzo massiccio di schiavi, la pesca delle perle.In tutti questi casi, il trattamento riservato agli schiavi di colore da parte degli arabo-islamici era durissimo: conferma di ciò è l'assenza nei paesi arabo-musulmani di comunità di colore numerose e originali, a differenza delle Americhe, dove vivono oggi 70 milioni di discendenti di schiavi o meticci africani. Tra le cause principali dell'esiguità e insignificanza delle comunità nere nei paesi arabi, sono da menzionare: l'altissima mortalità, dovuta alle disumane condizioni di lavoro e alla crudeltà dei padroni, la forzata assenza di prole degli eunuchi, il mancato sostegno alla loro riproduzione da parte dei proprietari.LA TRATTA CONTINUA ANCORA OGGI...Da questo sommario quadro emerge che la tratta fu uno degli elementi fondamentali della dinamica espansionistica musulmana, sia politica che economica, dando origine, come ha affermato lo storico Claude Cahen, ad una vera e propria «società di schiavi». Questo sistema schiavile ebbe anche dei risvolti negativi, perché rallentò lo sviluppo tecnico-scientifico e contribuì alla stagnazione sociale dei paesi islamici.Volendo trarre un bilancio numerico, gli esperti hanno valutato che più di 20 milioni di Africani sono stati venduti come schiavi dai musulmani fra il VII e il XX secolo (perlopiù donne e bambini). Ma la tratta continua ancora oggi...Tra le tante sure coraniche sulla schiavitù, particolarmente significativa ci sembra la seguente: «quando incontrerete quelli che non credono, uccideteli fino a che non ne abbiate fatto strage; allora, rafforzate le catene dei rimanenti» (XLVII, 4).

Sandy and Anthony Perez kept telling doctors their daughter Jordan was very sick. Their concerns were dismissed and Jordan’s pain minimized. They were ping-ponged between specialists, dealing with ongoing misdiagnosis, and doctors who refused to listen to Jordan and her parents and threatened to remove medical care. When Jordan died in the hospital, Sandy and Anthony thought it was due to a yet to be diagnosed illness. Only later would they find out Jordan had been poisoned to death by the hospital and they were covering it up.  Wanting justice for Jordan, Sandy and Anthony sought legal support - over 100 lawyers told them the same thing: California has a law that effectively makes hiring a lawyer for medical malpractice suits a non-starter: the law puts a cap on how much lawyers can be paid and how much victims can be awarded. Suing is a money losing proposition. As Sandy and Anthony learned, the legal system is set up to deny justice to medical victims, and the medical system is set up to deny accountability of doctors. A de facto license to kill. Jordan shouldn’t have died.  Sandy and Anthony shouldn’t have to fight to find out how the hospital killed their daughter. Jordan's drawing, titled: Will you remember me? SHOW NOTES:   Interviewing Sandy and Anthony Perez about their daughter Jordan 0:05:30 Sandy was born outside of Chicago, but raised in California since she was 7 - had a normal childhood with 3 sisters - went to college - met Anthony in 1994 0:06:30 Anthony was born and raised in California - good childhood with great mom and dad - their daughter Jordan was born April 5th, 2000 - she was a cranky baby, didn't want to sleep unless being held, always wanted to sleep with them 0:07:30 She was a one-off child, liked to do things her way - she liked to dress herself, there was no arguing with her - she played soft ball since age 4 and made the city's all-star team for 2 years - and her Dad (Anthony) coached her - when they moved to the high desert, they put Jordan in 'travel ball' - a more intense game softball league 0:08:30 The league had better quality coaches and was geared to show to colleges - it is called 'travel ball' because they traveled to and played in different cities - Jordan was the kid who would befriend others - at Jordan's memorial service, several of her friends spoke of how they were alone but Jordan invited them to play 0:09:30 It was very important to Jordan that others felt included and were not left out - in May 2014 Jordan started to complain of headaches - Jordan had allergies, including grass, but benadryul helped - then her neck started to hurt - in December 2014 she went to the doctor with neck and head pain 0:10:30 Jordan was suspected to have mastoiditis (infection in the masto bone behind the ear) and sent her to the ER - they didn't find anything, didn't run any blood tests, suggested it was migraines and sent Jordan home - a couple of weeks later Jordan had symptoms of the flu, couldn't keep fluid or food down, so they took her to the ER - they told the ER doc about the previous mastioditis diagnosis, so they ran more tests and found blood clots in Jordan's brain 0:11:30 They sent them to another trauma centre and that is where Jordan was treated for the next 3.5 years - they were frightened and wondering how it could've been missed - blood clots don't usually show up on CAT scans, but they did in Jordan 0:12:30 They were told the blood clots were a rare complication from the infection in the masto bones - Sandy and Anthony asked how Jordan could've gotten mastoiditis, and were told via infection of the sinus or ear - but Jordan didn't have those infections, so how could that be? But nobody could answer that - the hospital put Jordan on a hepadrin drip for a day and then changed to lovonox injections - both are blood thinners to more blood clots, but wouldn't treat Jordan's current blood clots 0:13:30 They also put Jordan on antibiotics for 6 weeks to fight the infection - Jordan started to perk up a bit, her headaches would coma and go, and she was treated with Toradol, which Sandy understands is a super Motrin, and that seemed to be Jordan's 'wonder drug' - she would be much better for 24 - 36 hours on one dose - it appeared Jordan was getting better - what they didn't know was that Jordan wasn't getting better 0:14:30 During Dec 2014 while getting treatment at the hospital, Jordan appeared to have a stroke and they sent her to ICU - ultimately they sent Jordan home saying she was improving and to continue the antibiotics - Sandy and Anthony were told Jordan had a stroke, and told she did not have a stroke - Jordan was sent home early January 2015 but Jordan was in the local ER a few days later with uncontrolled chest pain - the local hospital called Jordan's trauma hospital to transfer her, but they refused 0:15:30 The local hospital treated her and sent her home - the very next day they ended up at the trauma hospital with chest pain, increased headache, blurry vision, and a reaction to the antibiotic medication - they admitted Jordan for a couple of days, adjusted her antibiotic and sent her home again - about a week later, the eye doctor suggested a lumbar puncture because of Jordan's blurry vision and swelling of the optic nerve - this showed Jordan's cerebral pressure was severely elevated 0:16:30 A lumbar puncture extracts spinal fluid, during the process they monitor the pressure level and check spinal fluid for infections - Jordan's pressure was elevated, nearly twice normal - and it can affect vision 0:17:30 The following year they did another lumbar puncture, but the day after Jordan would vomit just from being touched - they put in a lumbar drain, to drain cerebral spinal fluid and monitored her for 5 weeks and make a decision how to proceed - in Feb 2015 they made a decision to internalize the drain, making it a lumbar shunt, and sent Jordan home - her headaches seemed to be improving, but she was taking Motrin daily 0:18:30 Jordan started developing a lump where she had shunt surgery, the doctors said it was filling with cerebral fluid, so they had to do a revision surgery - Jordan had to lay flat after the surgeries, she couldn't get up to go to the bathroom, so was very uncomfortable - she had a surgical scar on her abdomen as well as her back, and she was in pain - March 2015 was the revision surgery 0:19:30 Jordan needed another revision surgery in May because cerebral spinal fluid kept leaking of her back surgical scar - in June 2015 they went to Jordan's softball team's banquet because they recognized that Jordan had been on the team, but too sick to play - they had to leave the banquet early because Jordan started leaking spinal fluid, and they went to the hospital - they took the shunt out, and reverted back to the lumbar drain - a few days later they implanted a VP shunt, going from Jordan's head to her abdomen 0:20:30 The tubing was in the ventricles of her right side, and drainig the cerebral fluid into her abdomen - they put a hole in her skull, and the shunt ran down her head, behind her ear, and over her shoulder and down her back - and that was very uncomfortable for Jordan - Jordan's diagnosis never changed: infection causing mastoiditis, with rare complication of blood clots, causing increased intracranial hypertension 0:21:30 In January 2015 they learned from an infectious disease specialist suggested cancer could be a cause a differential diagnosis - oncology did ask about cancer in the family, and Sandy and Anthony said there was cancer on both sides, but the doctors never followed up for the entire 3.5 years 0:22:30 But June 2015 Jordan had daily headaches, impaired memory and vision, and still too sick for school - she was on the hospital home bound program to do some school work - Sandy had to write down Jordan's words because Jordan had IVs in her hand - she finished her freshman year about a week before her sophomore year started - the family went on vacation in August 2015, but Jordan stayed in the condo rental, she wasn't well enough to leave 0:23:30 So Jordan was still exhibiting the same symptoms from the start, in spite of the treatments, in spite of the surgeries - Jordan was back in the hospital a few times for head and chest pain, but the hospital couldn't find anything wrong and would send her home - in Feb 2016, Jordan's eye doctor say that Jordan's optic nerve was swelling again and recommended opening up the drain further to reduce pressure and help her vision and so she wouldn't go blind, but it was not to help her headaches 0:24:30 Feb 2016 the neurosurgeon opend the shunt all the way, but Jordan still got sick and was in and out of the hosptial - in June 2016 she saw a new pedeatric neurologist at the same hospital, and he started suggesting it was migraines because of a family history - Sandy told him it wasn't migraines because Motrin doesn't work on migraines, and Motrin worked for Jordan, she didn't need anything stronger - he then suggested Jordan was abusing Motrin - they pointed out she was only taking 400mg a day, and that is not excessive 0:25:30 The doctor also suggested they go back to hematology, and they took her off the blood thinning medication in June 2016 - but Jordan still battled with headaches, blurry vision, and kept getting sicker - Jordan's health would be up and down, so Sandy and Anthony tried to enjoy life with her 0:26:30 But Sandy was frustrated the hospital kept saying it was migraines and she knew it wasn't - when Jordan complained of jaw pain, they sent her to a dentist who couldn't find anything wrong - Jordan's joints would ache, but rheumatology would say there was nothing wrong with her - Sandy got more frustrated so took Jordan to another hospital for assessment, they too suggested migraines - Sandy was still working, when Jordan was in the hospital, Sandy would work from her bedside - do her job around doctors, testing, etc 0:27:30 Anthony says it was hard, they didn't know what they were dealing with - sometimes Jordan would grab her neck and Anthony thought it was maybe muscle spasms - when she'd come into the living room to get something to eat, she'd be doubled over, holding her stomach, saying how much pain she was in 0:28:30 To be experiencing that much pain without a proper diagnosis is ridiculous - Jordan missed her sophomore school year, and was on the home study program, but they had to fight to get her proper courses and support to keep Jordan in her honour classes 0:29:30 Jordan missed her friends, and it was hard on her - in July 2017 Jordan was getting increased headaches and had a new lumbar puncture 0:30:30 Sandy told the hematologist that Jordan seemed to be having blood clots in her toes, the doctor dismissed that and said Jordan must have dropped something on her toes to cause the trauma - Sandy explained that was not possible because Jordan was mostly bed ridden - the hospital said that Jordan needed to be taken off Motrin, she was using and abusing it - that night Jordan was vomiting because of the pain 0:31:30 She was admitted to the hospital that same doctor said that Jordan had migraines and needed to be detoxed from Motrin - he told Sandy and Anthony that if they didn't accept his diagnosis of migraines, he would refuse to treat Jordan - meanwhile Jordan is very sick with a forced diagnosis that didn't fit - Sandy told the head nurse that if they are saying it is migraines, then they might as well discharge Jordan - then a neurosurgeon came in and said he reviewed all Jordan's MRIs of the past year and a half and saw that she had enlarged veins since spring 2016 0:32:30 He wanted to angiograms to see if that was causing issues in her brain - an angiogram is a catheter like needle into the body to see what is going on in the venous structure using contrast to show up on images 0:33:30 The neurologist who pushed a migraine diagnosis came in and wanted Jordan's complete history, so they told him about everything from 2014 up to that point - he said he would get a 2nd opinion hematology consult - but he never recorded it in her records and never requested it - he said he would give her a lumbar puncture but if it was a certain number they would have to concede he was right with the migraine diagnosis - Sandy told him what he wanted to hear to get testing and treatment for Jordan 0:34:30 When the numbers came back, Sandy maintained that it was not migraines, something else was making her sick - they discharged Jordan and gave her Motrin - they had one follow up appointment with the neurologist and he suggested it was psychiatric - he referred them to another neurologist and refused to treat Jordan - he followed through on his threat and refused to treat Jordan - they saw the new neurologist in September 2017, at first he mentioned psuedo tumor cerebri, this is alos intracranial hypertension when the brain thinks it has a tumor but it doesn't - he said he'd do some research and talk to them at Jordan's next appointment 0:35:30 Jordan was sicker and ended up back in the ER - they said it was migraines and copy and pasted previous notes that said Jordan was abusing Motrin - they put her on a detox protocol called DHE, a medication to help people withdraw from medications that are harming them - Jordan got sicker, not from the DHE, but from the pain - they also gave her Toradol (like super Motrin), so while they are detoxing her from Motrin, they give her high dose Motrin 0:36:30 The attending doctor said 'it looks like the DHE protocol is working' - Sandy said 'no, you approved Toradol, that's what's helping her, not the DHE protocol' - that doctor said they'll send Toradol home with Jordan - Jordan would be less sick with the Toradol, but after it wore off after 24 hours, she'd get sicker - Jordan had been taking the Motrin as directed 0:37:30 They went back to the neurologist who diagnosed intracranial hypertension, but he changed his diagnosis to migraines and attempted to treat her with migraine meds - they told him that Jordan did not have migraines - he suggested treatment with Botox - Jordan got sick during the appointment and they went across the street to the ER - again they said migraines, again Sandy and Anthony said it wasn't migraines, they gave her Toradol 0:38:30 The attending physician didn't examine Jordan, but asked if anybody had told them that Jordan had an enlarged spleen - Sandy said it had never been mentioned, what does it mean, what's the impact on Jordan - the doctor said 'its probably nothing' and they discharge Jordan with migraines - they went to Jordan's primary care doctor and said the hospital must be missing something - he order more testing, but it was to be done at the hospital, that's where all of Jordan's records were 0:39:30 On February 14, 2018 Jordan had abdominal imaging, ultrasound done - they wouldn't let Jordan leave at first - they asked about Jordan's history of blood clots and the shunts - they said Jordan had to follow up with her primary care right away - Sandy asked if they had to go to the ER, and they said 'no' - on the way home, Sandy called primary to make an appointment - Jordan was to come to primary care in the morning of Feb 16th - at the appointment they told the family that Jordan had 'portal vein thrombosis' which is blood clots leading into the liver 0:40:30 He sent them back to the hospital, they ended up in the ER - at the time they did not know that the person who introduced themselves as a doctor, was actually an unlicensed medical student, with no authority to examine, treat or discharge Jordan - his attending physician supervisor did signed saying she examined Jordan but never did - the 'doctor' said he didn't accept testing not from the hospital, and ordered all the same tests - they confirmed portal vein thrombosis - the 'doctor' said it was a GI issue and referred them to a GI department - Sandy called the GI department, but they refused to do anything while Jordan was in the ER 0:41:30 The GI department said Jordan needed to book a consult - Sandy told them they had previously requested a consult - regardless, they refused to set an appointment - Sandy asked the ER 'doctor' to bring in a GI doc to the ER for Jordan, but he said it wasn't necessary - they also asked that hematology be notified because this was the 3rd appearance of blood clots - again the ER 'doctor' said it was a GI issue and Jordan needed to be seen only as an outpatient - they discharged Jordan and told her parents it was not a life threatening condition 0:42:30 The following Tuesday Sandy called the GI department to make an appointment - they said they would review Jordan's file and call back in 24 - 48 hours with an appointment - but they didn't call until March 2nd - Sandy also called hematology to make sure they been told Jordan had more blood clots - they called back and said they were not told, and to take Jordan to the ER and they would admit her - Jordan was admitted on Feb 20, 2018 to Feb 23 -- on the 21st they wanted to send her home to be an outpatient, but Sandy demanded the GI come see Jordan will she was inpatient 0:43:30 The GI said that wanted to do an endoscopy to see inside her abdomen - they said the results were mild reflux, but nobody could explain the blood clots - Sandy asked 3 different hematologists about cancer testing - one said they could do that test, another indicated he would order them, but never did - the 3rd said cancer testing was unnecessary because her blood tests were normal 0:44:30 This 3rd hematologist is the same one who in 2015 was told to do a cancer differential diagnosis, which he never did - but Jordan's blood work was not normal - they sent Jordan home - on Feb 26th they were back in the ER, Jordan was doubled over in pain - she was seen by a resident doctor who insisted Jordan was constipated and gave Jordan an enema - Jordan felt completely humiliated - and still in pain 0:45:30 The attending physician signed off said she had examined Jordan, but she never came in, they never saw her - she was sent home with constipation medication - on the Feb 27th they called oncology, they advised managing Jordan's pain at home because they had an appointment on the 28th with hematologist and he would admit her to the hospital - on Feb 28th they had their appointment with the hematologist - Sandy begged him to help her - he said it was a GI issue, he could refer her to pain management, and sent her home 0:46:30 He never put that in Jordan's medical notes - that night they called oncology to let them know they were bringing Jordan to the ER and listed her symptoms - when they got to the ER just before midnight - they made Jordan wait for 4 - 5 hours -- Sandy kept letting them know Jordan's pain was very high, but other patients were prioritized, including somebody walking out on crutches from a sprained ankle 0:47:30 Jordan was admitted to the hospital on March 1st - the hospital staff said Jordan was quite sick - Sandy said 'yes, we've been trying to tell you that for 3 years' - on March 4th a new hematologist asked about the cancer testing - she suggested Jordan may have lymphoma and they needed to do further testing - Jordan was being monitored in the ICU 0:48:30 On March 5th Jordan was moved back to onclology and they did a bone marrow biopsy for cancer - on March 6th they were waiting for test results - Jordan was heavily agitated, kept trying to get out of bed - the last words she said to Sandy were "Mom, I just want to go home" - Jordan layed back down and fell asleep - later that night Sandy went to Ronald McDonald house to get some rest 0:49:30 About 30 minutes later the hospital called Sandy to say Jordan was non-responsive and they had administered Narcan - Sandy got back to the hospital and over heard the doctor arguing for the last bed in the ICU - they told Sandy again they had given Jordan Narcan, it is given to someone to reverse an overdose - On March 6th they moved Jordan back to the ICU and said they needed to put Jordan into a medically induced coma to allow time for her to heal 0:50:30 The resident doctor told them that Jordan's ammonia levels were very elevated - Sandy asked how they missed that? - his answer was 'not to focus on placing blame, but to focus on Jordan getting better' - early March 7th they placed a drain in Jordan's abdomen - Instead of draining normally, it was draining into Jordan's abdomen - a couple of hours later the same doctor that was arguing for an ICU bed, told Sandy and Anthony that they were life-lining Jordan to another facility because she needed a liver transplant 0:51:30 So they started to prepare for that - Anthony went home to grab some sleep and Sandy stayed at the hospital with Jordan - at about 8am the ER attending doctor said Jordan was very sick, Sandy said we've been trying to tell you that - during morning rounds, the GI doctor who saw Jordan in Feb, came running in and told the attending hematologist she failed to read Jordan's lab work from weeks prior when Jordan was in the hospital and had alpha one anti trypsin deficiency disorder, and it affects the liver and lungs 0:52:30 The doctor than told Sandy she'd provide more info once Jordan was stable and transferred to another facility - Sandy and Anthony thought the worse was probably over, and the staff never said Jordan was dying - around 8:30 neurosurgery came in and said they needed to remove the shunt tubing from her abdomen because she had an infection and they didn't want it to spread to her brain - so Sandy and Anthony permitted that surgical procedure 0:53:30 Sandy was waiting in the family room right outside the ICU while they performed the procedure - at about 10:40 am while Jordan was still in surgery, a social worker came into the family room and told Sandy that Jordan had 'coded' during the procedure - Sandy remembers running to Jordan and yelling 'you killed my daughter, you killed her' - the social worker asked Sandy what she meant - she said that they'd been bringing Jordan for help and they kept saying migraines 0:54:30 They did CPR for about an hour until Anthony could get to the hospital - they gave Jordan blood products - but they stopped at about 11:40 am - that day they asked Sandy and Anthony if there was anything they needed - Sandy and Anthony asked for the lab reports and testing as they had other children and wanted to know if there was anything they needed to worry about - the hospital said they would get those results to Sandy / Anthony, but they never did - about 2 weeks later, they went to the hospital's patient relations and requested the information again - and filed a complaint 0:55:30 State law says they have to turn over medical records within 15 days, but they didn't hand them over until about 40 days later - when Sandy was going through the records over the next few months, in July 2018 she realized the records were missing a huge chunk of data - so they requested again, and it took another 45 days to get more records - to this day, Sandy and Anthony still don't have all Jordan's medical records - that info was either withheld, or never recorded 0:56:30 In Feb 2019, Sandy and Anthony went to Washington DC for rare disease week - they went because of the rare blood disease Jordan was diagnosed with 6 weeks after her death, called 'primary myelofibrosis', an extremely rare form of leukemia, less then 50 children in the US diagnosed with it - less then 20,000 nationally - someone at rare disease week said something sounded fishy - they were advised to ask if Jordan's death had been reported to any agency 0:57:30 Sandy contacted the California Department of Public Health to see if Jordan's death had been reported - they told Sandy they had no record of Jordan's death - Sandy asked if the hospital was required to report Jordan's death - Sandy was put on hold - she was then recommended to file a complaint - so she did file a complaint - even though Sandy and Anthony have had several conversations with the investigator, they still don't have any info and its been 10 months 0:58:30 It is a state investigation, so red tape, bureaucracy, limited personnel - those things have caused delay - they hope to get more records soon 0:59:30 They had Jordan's GP look at the records, and paid a professional to review and confirm Jordan's eventual diagnsosis of 'primary myelofibrosis' - the hematologist who had suggested lymphoma called Sandy and Anthony on April 23, 2019 and asked if any one had spoken to them about what was going on? - Sandy asked if Jordan's diagnosis had of been caught earlier if Jordan would still be alive, and the hematologist said 'yes' - but never heard from the hematologist again, but knows she left the hospital in April 2019 1:00:30 Sandy researched 'primary myelofibrosis' and life expectancy is up to 10 years after diagnosis - but she could have been cured with stem cell transplants or been in remission and lived a full life - in April the hematologist said she'd written a report and what happened to Jordan - in Sept 2019, Sandy and Anthony found out that the hospital had overdosed Jordan causing her death - and they were not monitoring her as they should have been 1:01:30 Sandy and Anthony think the hematologist report covers an adverse event, and by state law that must be reported, but the hospital chose to cover it up instead of reporting it - in California they have laws that put a low cap on medical malpractice settlements making getting a lawyer impossible because they won't earn any money 1:02:30 So the system is set up so patients can't get justice, and doctors are not held accountable either by the justice system or the state medical board - Sandy and Anthony have not heard from the medical board since they filed their 9 complaints against the providers 1:03:30 Sandy and Anthony asked, in January 2019, the investigator to include another 257 providers associated with hospital or Jordan's care, but they have not heard any thing - Sandy and Anthony have been advocating for reform of the MICRA Act (medical injury compensation reform act of 1975) 1:04:30 MICRA limits compensation to $250,000 due to medical injury or death by medical injury - it also limits how much an attorney can be paid to about $75,000 - but in Jordan's case it would cost about $200,000 to litigate, making it economically infeasible, and that patients can't get justice - there is a current ballot proposal called the Fairness for Injured Patients Act (FIPA) that they want on the November election ballot to overturn MICRA 1:05:30 Sandy and Anthony filed a medical malpractice case in May 2019, naming 22 defendants - they are expecting the defense counsel to do a 'demure', and that is saying the case is unwarranted and why - then Sandy and Anthony will have an opportunity to respond to the 'demure' 1:06:30 Then the case will be heard by a judge who will decide if the case has merit or not - Sandy and Anthony don't have a lawyer, but have consulted with attorneys, but Sandy and Anthony are writing the legal briefs 1:07:30 There are thousands of Californians who've been medically injured who have no recourse - that what the FIPA will remedy - and that is why families are speaking publicly - under the current law, children and the elderly are most vulnerable - Sandy has cashed in all her savings to help pay for things 1:08:30 They have started a GoFundMe page to help with legal bills they will occur 1:09:30 Sandy is up and down emotionally - she has a lot of work today in addition to her day time job - reviewing files, preparing legal documents, being a wife and mother - but Sandy doesn't feel like she's had a chance to grieve the loss of her daughter - Sandy and Athony are making meaning through advocacy in Jordan's name - they want to make sure the hospital doesn't kill more people -- they use #JordansStory on twitter and Facebook 1:10:30 Sandy says if you're sick, or a caregiver, and you don't believe the doctors, push back, seek 2nd, 3rd or 10th opinions if you have to -- the doctors told Sandy and Anthony that there is so much info about diseases, they don't even know 1/ 10th of it - so don't let them discourage you, and ask them to have conversations about your own research - don't let them disparage you, don't let them chide you, don't let them discourage you from doing your own research and asking your own questions    CONNECT WITH SANDY AND ANTHONY ABOUT JORDAN'S STORY   Twitter @alpslp98Facebook: www.facebook.com/jordansstory Fairness for Injured Patients act: www.fairnessact.org GoFundMe -

## Dropfort * What is Dropfort?     * Dropfort is a suite of tools to develop and manage Drupal applications.   On the development side, it integrates with GitHub and GitLab to track commits, issues and tags. It then packages releases based on those tags and lets you share those releases with your Drupal sites. Same way you tag and create releases on Drupal.org. The only difference is the released modules are private. Meaning a site that wants to use those modules needs to authenticate to download them.   For example, if you want to download a custom module to your site from dropfort, you can just do a “drush dl mymodule --source=https://app.dropfort.com/fserver/release-history”. Dropfort generates the same XML data for its modules as does Drupal.org for contrib modules. Meaning the Update module works with Dropfort, all your Drush commands work and Drush make works too. It’s all pretty seamless. The only difference with our XML is that it's not publicly available. Your site has to be allowed to see the update feed which is what you configure in the Dropfort web app itself.   The other half of Dropfort are the operations or “ops” tools. You connect your sites to Dropfort using the Dropfort Update module (which is available on Drupal.org) and it will start doing a few things. The most obvious is tracking the update status of your site. Being a Drupal shop, we monitor a few dozen Drupal sites at once and so logging into each site to see what modules need updating and the status of those sites is time consuming. What Dropfort let’s us do is see all those sites in one dashboard. I can login and see the update status and status report data from all the sites in one place. Dropfort then uses this data to generate some graphs about your sites. For example it can tell you how many dev modules you’re using across all your sites, it shows you a list of what sites have security updates and it does some fancy calculations to grade your site’s health as well. Lots of metrics to know what’s going on and how things are changing over time.   The last part, and this is what I’ve been working on mostly these last few months, is an Environment manager. It’s still pretty fresh and there are some rough edges but it does work. You can create a set of environments (dev, testing or production) to store machine configurations to both do your development and run your Drupal applications. You can say “I want a server running apache, with MySQL and the Commerce Kickstart distro” on it. Then you can either download a Vagrant file which will provision a vm, or you can download a docker container which will do the same. Or you can run a bash script on an existing machine to link the server to Dropfort and have that configuration deployed. It’s pretty neat stuff. Basically any server anywhere can be turned into a managed Drupal cloud.   Like I said, there’s a whole suite of stuff in here.   * Why did you create Dropfort? Where did it start?   It all really came from using Feature Server for Drupal 6. When we incorporated Coldfront in 2011 and really turned it into a full time job, we wanted a way to distribute code to all our clients (even though at the time I think we only had one). We setup FServer to deploy code to your client sites. But manually creating the releases and the pages and stuff was kind of a pain. So we came up with a special commit syntax we could add to Subversion (this was before Git was a big thing). So could make our svn commit and in the message we’d write [release:full] and some post-commit scripts would run on the svn server. They’d look at the commit message and then take the code, create a tgz file, create a tag, commit the tag and then upload the tgz file to FServer using some REST web service endpoints we create on a Drupal 6 site with Services. That would create the release page, the release notes, add the files and generate the update XML. It was pretty well a mini Drupal.org but with Subversion (instead of CVS which D.O was still using at the time). It actually worked really well. So well in fact that the University of Ottawa asked if we could install a version for them to manage their Drupal stuff (which they’re actually still using today until their git migration is done). That’s when the lightbulb went off I guess. We had built this stuff for us but as it turns out, other people want to deploy custom modules too! Who’da thunk it?   And that’s when the idea for a more “web app” version of our SVN workflow came to be. At the time I thought “Yeah we can totally rewrite this in no time, I give is 6 months and we’ll have a web app ready to go”. That was 3 years ago I think? It took a bit longer than expected. Mostly I kept adding features… Yay scope creep. But now we’ve got a pretty awesome suite of tools and we’re focusing on the polish now. I’ve been told I’m not allowed to make feature requests for at least a month. We’ll see how that goes.   * Can this be used to compete with Drupal.org? Meaning can people share public releases here instead of on d.o?   Nope. Public modules should be on Drupal.org. No module can be downloaded from Dropfort without authenticating first. We don’t want to supersede d.o in any way. We actually looked into writing a feature to automatically move a project from bieng private to a public one on d.o but since Drupal.org doesnt’ have an API we couldn’t do that. But yeah, this is for privately distributed modules only.   * Does the monitoring dashboard check both the private projects as well as public ones on d.o?     * Yes   * What did you build it with? Is Dropfort open-source?   The original SVN workflow using Subversion, CLI PHP, Drupal 6, 2 custom modules and some REST / Services stuff.    Dropfort uses Git, Drupal 7, Services, about 20 or so custom modules, Puppet and our Drupal 7 port of FServer. So Dropfort is a Drupal application itself. We actually use Dropfort to manage Dropfort. Meaning we track it’s own updates and status using itself, and it packages releases for itself. A little inceptiony but it works.   Most of the parts which make up Dropfort are open. Some of the custom modules aren’t openly available. But that’s mostly because we don’t have the bandwidth to help and support the distro on D.o. Especially the stuff involving setting up a Puppet master. We’d spend more of our time debugging that than actually making things work. Doesn’t mean we won’t share everything eventually, just not right now.   * What’s the plan for Dropfort? Is it a paid service or is it free?   Right now it’s free to use. The main reason for that is we haven’t written the commerce component yet so we can’t actually charge for it so… yeah. But we’re looking at different ways of monetizing. It’s tricky cause we want people to use it but at the same time we don’t really know what people will use. There’s such a variety of things in there it’s tough to decide what should be charged for. For example Github is pretty straightforward in their pay structure. If the code is open, your repo is free. If your code is closed, you pay for the repo. For us, I think it’s a question of usage. We’re leaning towards all tools are free to use with any account, it’s just a question of how much storage or how many sites you’re using. But regardless, anyone who uses it now is free to use it as much as they want. And we’ll have some special plans for early adopters as a thanks for their feedback. More than likely a bunch of free stuff.   * How does this compare to other tools like Platform.sh, Pantheon, Acquia Dev Cloud?   The big difference is that they’re primarily a hosting platform. Dropfort is a management platform. You can connect a Pantheon site or an Acquia Dev cloud site to Dropfort and use most of the features no problem. You’d probably skip the release packaging stuff and environment management (for now) but the stats tracking and collaboration tools would work just fine. Dropfort doesn’t care where or how you run your Drupal site. As long as it can reach the internet, you can use Dropfort.   But you can use Dropfort with GitHub or GitLab or neither. You can use Vagrant or Docker or both. We do our best to integrate with anything which might make building Drupal application easier. It’s all about choice.   As for the hosting side of things, we give you tools to deploy your own server or cloud of servers. Meaning you can run an optimized network of Drupal web servers on whatever provider you want. It’s a philosophical difference. We let you host your code and sites wherever you want whereas with others you live on their machines. Which can have a lot of advantages and for the majority of folks out there, that’s fine with them.   But for us we’ve found it difficult for some enterprises here in Canada to get hosting on services in the US which are bound by the Patriot Act. We have FIPA, the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act which states that we can’t share information about users unless the user has explicitly allowed that agency access. The Patriot Act is pretty much the exact opposite of that. So we figured we’d bring most if not all of the advantages of a cloud solution (the optimized configuration, automated deployments / scaling, generated environments) to anyone’s infrastructure. You just supply the hardware, Dropfort does the rest.   I see it as just another option in how you can host your Drupal site. You can choose how much or how little you want to be involved in managing the hosting environment. Whichever way works best for you is the one you should go with.   * How does this handle dev/staging/live scenarios? * How about local?   ## Use Cases * Let’s talk about the current use cases for Dropfort.     * Managing several sites in one place     * Create custom, shareable development environments     * Create releases of projects destined for more than one application * Why would you use Dropfort instead of just Git to manage deployments?     * We use Drush Make for just about everything. We control our releases using Drush make. We apply patches with Drush make. We really like Drush make. And we really don’t like merge conflicts. The number of times I’ve come into a project where the entirety of Drupal core and all the contrib modules are in a single repo with a team of people trying to all work on it at once has taught me that’s not the way to work. Treat your projects like d.o does, as self contained sets of functionality. Use make files to build your application and drush to manage updates. This is how Drupal is designed to work. Drupal is a collection of modules. When you all of a sudden lump it all together into a single repo you’re breaking how Drupal was meant to be managed. * Can you explain a bit more about how Drush Make works? * You just mentioned automated updates. * What’s in the near, and far future for Dropfort?

Gus Van Harten talks about his new book, Sold Down the Yangtze, explaining his view that Canada is on the losing end of the FIPA with China

"Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the People's Republic of China for the Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investments" That is the official name of this monstrosity. It's not a "Free Trade" agreement, it is an "Investment Protection" agreement, according to the Ministry of Truth. No debate in Parliament. No vote in Parliament. 31 years before a chance to opt out. The infamous "Investor-State Dispute Settlement" clause. Laws of the land can be deemed "illegal" in a secret court. Damages awarded and we will never know. The commitment from the Harper Government to withhold ratification while the case from Hupacasath First Nation was before the Federal Court of Appeal and the decision was under reserve, meant nothing in the end. On a Friday afternoon last September, Emperor Harper once again proved his word means nothing. We welcome back Brenda Sayers of the Hupacasath First Nation to tell us what has happened since, what is going to happen, and how their efforts can be supported by Canadians across the nation. First Nations are the last peoples who have any rights over their air, water and environment. Their fight is our fight. They are in the position to challenge these terrible deals using the legal system. They need all Canadians' support to protect our future environment for everyone. The prospects of the framework "International Law" that applies on the Canada-China FIPA limits every level of government from free will and carrying out the decisions of the voters. Why? For corporate profit, what else. Join us and find how you can help resist the wholesale clearance of Canada by the Corporate Pacification Committee

China's economy will soon become the largest in the world.
