TEEN SCREEN TIME - As teens rely more heavily on technology, a NEW report released this morning puts a spotlight on how much daily screen time teenagers consume. The report from NCHS found about half of teenagers spent 4 hours or more of daily screen time, from July 2021 through December 2023. Researchers say this amount of daily screen time can lead to increased anxiety or depression symptoms. Nicole D'Antonio is live in Washington breaking down the new report.

Ref.: Abt Dr. Notker Wolf OSB (Benediktiner), emeritierter Abtprimas der Benediktinischen Konföderation Abt Notker Wolf ist als oberster Missionsbenediktiner in der ganzen Welt unterwegs gewesen: In China und Nordkorea ließ er große Krankenhäuser bauen, auf den Philippinen, in Indien, Uganda und Togo gründete er neue Klöster. 16 Jahre war er Abtprimas der Benediktiner-Konföderation und stand damit an der Spitze von mehr als 20.000 Mönchen und Nonnen weltweit. Mit 83 Jahren ist der Abt immer noch gefragter Gast in den Medien und dabei auch für markante politische Positionen bekannt, etwa zu Freiheitsrechten oder Marktwirtschaft. Daneben aber sieht man ihn immer wieder mit der E-Gitarre auf der Bühne, wo er mit der Rockmusik einem wenig standesgemäßen Hobby frönt. Im Standpunkt spricht Abt Notker über die "Säulen des Glücks", die ihn durch sein bewegtes Leben getragen haben: das Streben nach den christlichen Tugenden.
This week, we talk to New Canaan High School Principal Bill Egan about the NCHS Scholarship Foundation and the major fundraiser coming up to support it, the Color Drop, scheduled for Saturday, March 23.

Amy has always had a profound impact on the campus of Northwest Christian School. It's an impact that extends much further than the countless hours she invests in teaching--she has gone to extraordinary lengths to be certain that her influence is not just growing her students academically but that they are also growing in their individual relationships with Christ.What length exactly? Her recent ground-breaking doctoral dissertation, "The Effectiveness of Spiritual Formation Strategies in Generation Z", has caused shockwaves in the field of Christian education. And, now, post-dissertation, she has become the first post-doctoral fellow at Grand Canyon University, professionally commissioned by Christian School Management, to continue and expand her research.The interesting part of it all? The subjects of her research are her students at Northwest Christian School. In fact, in one form or another, every single high school student on the NCS campus has contributed to better understanding how students grow in their faith.Today, with a re-broadcast of an earlier episode which will allow listeners to reacquaint themselves with Dr. Yoder, we launch a month-long deep-dive of podcast episodes in which we explore Amy's research.In the process, you will have a front row seat to the most candid, the most transparent research done into the spiritual disciplines of high schoolers...our high schoolers!To learn more about Dr. Yoder's ground-breaking research, please follow this link."Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.For more information on Frameworks, please visit: https://frameworks.ncsaz.org/For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit: https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email gbrown@ncsaz.org or you can reach him by cell phone: (623)225-5573.

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
What's New in the DSM-5-TR? Curt and Katie interview Dr. Michael B. First, MD, editor and co-chair of the American Psychiatric Associations' DSM-5 Text revision, coming out March 2022. We explore: What are the differences between a full update and a text revision? What changes have been made (and how were these changes decided)? What new diagnoses can we expect? Can clinicians continue to use the older DSM-5? How can clinicians advocate for changes in future versions of the DSM? All of this and more in the episode. Interview with Dr. Michael B. First, MD Michael B. First, M.D, is a Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University, a Research Psychiatrist in the Division of Behavioral Health Sciences and Policy Research, Diagnosis and Assessment Unit at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, and maintains a schematherapy and psychopharmacology practice in Manhattan. Dr. First is a nationally and internationally recognized expert on psychiatric diagnosis and assessment issues and has conducted expert forensic psychiatric evaluations in both civil and criminal matters, including the 2006 trail of the 9/11 terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui. Dr. First is the Editor and Co-chair of the American Psychiatric Associations' DSM-5 text revision, Editorial and Coding Consultant for the DSM-5, and the chief technical and editorial consultant on the World Health Organization's ICD-11 revision project. Dr. First was the Editor of the DSM-IV-TR, and the Editor of Text and Criteria for DSM-IV and the American Psychiatric Associations' Handbook on Psychiatric Measures. He has co-authored and co-edited a number of books, including the fourth edition of the two-volume psychiatry textbook, A Research Agenda for DSM-V, the DSM-5 Handbook for Differential Diagnosis, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-F (SCID-5) and Learning DSM-5 by Case Example. He has trained thousands of clinicians and researchers in diagnostic assessment and differential diagnosis. In this podcast episode we talk about latest updates for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the DSM-5-TR. With the upcoming release of the new DSM-5-TR, Curt and Katie reached out to Dr. First, the editor and co-chair of the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5-TR, to find out what's new and how the DSM committee works. “During the development of [DSM-5-]TR, George Floyd happened, and our entire consciousness about systemic racism became sort of raised. Then the question was, are there things in the DSM that are reflective of this kind of systemic racism? So, we actually created a committee that went through the entire DSM.” – Dr. Michael First What changes have been made in the new DSM-5-TR? Text revisions occur to avoid letting the text become stale while supporting ongoing updates. New disorders, specifically Prolonged Grief Disorder, have been added. New codes, modeled off symptom codes, created for documenting suicidality and non-suicidal self-injury with another diagnosis. New categories of Unspecified Mood Disorder. New Criteria set for Autism Spectrum Disorder which is more conservative. How are cultural differences addressed in the DSM-5-TR? Starting with DSM-IV, there has been a special committee created for culture and culture related issues Hypothetically, the criteria sets should apply to everyone, but in the text, there is a section on Culture Related Features which is more specific. The impact of the George Floyd protests inspired the creation of a new committee to look for systemic racism, lack of nuances, and prevalence issues within the DSM. There are conflicting opinions if “transness” should be included in the DSM and if it's even a mental disorder. As the DSM is a diagnostic tool to code for insurance, the DSM takes the stance that the Gender Dysphoria diagnosis stay included so individuals can have access to medical intervention and treatment. The Steering Committee for new diagnosis is small, but there is diversity. Before a diagnosis is approved, it is posted for 45 days on the DSM website for all, including people with lived experience, to comment and advocate for diversity What is the Process for Accepting New Diagnose? The steering committee accepts proposals through the DSM portal for new diagnosis Some diagnoses are qualified based on the United States' continued use of ICD-10, whereas the ICD-11 is more progressive. With Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, some of the criteria from the ICD have been incorporated into the DSM diagnosis of PTSD Proposals are floated around often, but they often don't have enough empirical research yet. Proposals need to show a pool of patients who don't fit other diagnoses, a gap in treatment, and a difference from other possible similar diagnoses. New diagnoses will be approved on a continuum, making the electronic DSM-V-TR the most up to date resource. The committee is more conservative in adding a new diagnosis to the DSM because it is hard to remove a diagnosis once it is included. “I'd say the biggest [change] is Prolonged Grief Disorder… Now for a number of years, the concept of Prolonged Grief Disorder was really a hole in the diagnostic system… patients were out there that… were suffering, so they had some kind of mental disorder… That's not Major Depression, you can have Major Depression, and Prolonged Grief Disorder. But they're not the same at all. Hardly any overlap. So there's a big hole in the system that allows people to come into your office and not have any place for them.” – Dr. Michael First Our Generous Sponsor for this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide: SuperBill Interested in making it easier for your clients to use their out-of-network-benefits for therapy?

So thank you very much for joining us here today Dr. First. Dr. Michael First 01:44 Really, it's a pleasure to be here. Katie Vernoy 01:46 We're so excited to have you and to have this conversation, we had reached out to our audience for some questions. So we'll try to get to some of those. But our first question that we ask all of our guests is, who are you and what are you putting out into the world? Dr. Michael First 02:00 Okay, so um, I have a position at Columbia University. I also work at the New York state psychiatric institute. I also have a private practice in New York City, and also a forensic practice. That's pretty pretty busy. And I've my main thing to my life has been DSM, I actually got involved all the way back first at the VA that year, DSM-3 came out in 1986, because I did my residency at Columbia, where Robert Spitzer, who is the king, or whatever, he said, he created the DSM, he put it on the map, so I got to work with him. And I've been working with him and also with the person who did DSM for Alan Francis. And so I've been had my finger in some way, shape, or form every DSM. Oh, and I also work on the ICD 11, who has their own classification. And they're just recently updated theirs as well. So I asked to work on that project. Katie Vernoy 02:54 Wow, that's awesome. Curt Widhalm 02:56 So some of us have been practicing a while, my grad school we were on the DSM-4-TR. So I got to see through the transition of DSM-5, but can you maybe provide a little bit of context for what's the goal of a text revision as opposed to a full update and looking at, you know, just kind of jumping into the next number here. Dr. Michael First 03:18 Let me give you a background of how the text, the 4-TR came about, there was those 3-TR, for example, was the first TR. So it's all started way back in 1980, with DSM-3, which was the first version that had diagnostic criteria. When they were working on it, they had this idea that it was just something that psychiatrist would be interested in. When they publish it, it became this huge hit, you know, it's sold millions of copies really transformed the field, people found that very, very useful. And so, seven years later, they did the DSM-3 are now why that wasn't called DSM-4 simply because the DSM are actually linked to the ICD. And ICD 10 was supposed to be coming out in 1992 or so. Here we were in 1987 today, so we're actually this is an in between DSM-3, DSM 4- revision, so that's why it was called the three R, then DSM-4 comes out in 1994. And then after DSM-4 came out, there was a lot of pushback in the field about APA grinding out a new DSM, every seven years, everybody had to learn it. So things really put the brakes on the DSM. So APA made a decision that we're not going to seven years from now, I'll do with the DSM-5 we're gonna wait and see. What the downside of doing that is the text which is 90 something percent of the book is actually text not just the criteria detects is a really good resource for mental health professionals about diagnosis and prevalence doesn't know anything but treatment, but it's kind of like a super textbook in the sense that it's got the top people in the world working on it. They've kept waiting, waiting, waiting DSM-5, which was clearly going to be at least 10 years if not more away. It ended up being closer to 20 years, the text would have gotten very stale. So that was the motivation to do the DSM-4-TR. Or when they did the 4-TR, or they made the decision, so people wouldn't be bent out of shape about yet another DSM only to revise the text, the diagnostic criteria will go into be unchanged, it turned out there for very, very small changes, because a couple of errors has been found in the DSM 4 like, for example, Tourette's, tic disorders had requirement that the, in order to call somebody diagnose somebody with Tourette's, it had to cause clinically significant impairment and distress. That's a standard DSM phrase. So you're trying to differentiate things that aren't problems, from things that are problems, the neurologist got all bent out of shape about that ticks a tick whether or not it causes impairment, it's still a tick. So we, for example, we deleted that, that criteria, but it's very small stuff like that. So that's why the TR really was just a text revision. So DSM-5 didn't come out until 2013. So with DSM-5 came out, it was a complete redo of all the criteria and the text. And then moving forward, what happened was, is the DSM-5-TR, now, now DSM-5-TR is actually different than the 4-TR, because it is this time, the criteria have changed, they've been changing the criteria. And the way that was accomplished was the fact that we now have APA as a process in place to allow changes to be made on an ongoing basis. That was one of the reasons why the DSM-4 criteria were changed was every time they do a revision, it's a huge expensive, you know, hundreds of people involved process and it because you really want to every time there's a change, you want to make sure that changes, it's been well researched, you consider the pros and cons. So it's a big process. So they realized that moving forward, they APA realized that now that we're not stuck using just books, they could actually have changes made in the DSM on an ongoing basis. And that's what happened since DSM-5 came out. In 2013, there's been a number of changes in the criteria set. So the criteria sets in there five to about 70 of them have some changes, most of them are very, very minor, you're correcting tiny errors, but there's some that are significant. So one of the differences, of course, is that when 4-TR are came out, you could say I want to buy that still say that about five here, but you can say I care about the criteria that he diagnoses, I don't really need to see the text. That's not true. This time, the actual definitions have changed. There's a new disorder in the DSM-5-TR. Katie Vernoy 07:39 What are the big important changes that we should know about in DSM-5-TR? Dr. Michael First 07:40 So we've added a disorder it's Prolonged Grief Disorder. So it's much more clinically relevant. The DSM-5-TR, really than the 4-TR was I'd say the biggest is Prolonged Grief Disorder. So you know, when you whenever a new disorders, DSM, that's big news, I've been going through many, many DSM, the press always gets what's the new disorder. So this is a this disorder was has been researched. Now for a number of years, let me the concept of Prolonged Grief Disorder is really a hole in the diagnostic system. So there are individuals who after losing a loved one, normally, you basically adjust at some point, it's always painful maybe to think about the loved one, but you move on with your life. And in that that's a very important part of the grieving process. There are individuals where they're unable to do that they're basically stuck in a grief reaction, month after month. So after a year has elapsed in the person's grieving and preoccupied with grieving, then you could meet the criteria for Prolonged Grief Disorder. So it's can be given until at least a year has elapsed. And these are individuals or a number of individuals who have that problem. And it was really unrecognized, wasn't in the system at all. Now in DSM-5 came out, and there's a pending research appendix in the back. So when DSM-5 was was in preparation, we already knew about this condition, and there was some controversy about how best to define it. So they actually put something in the research appendix called persistent, complex bereavement disorder in the back that is the precursor to what's now called Prolonged Grief Disorder. So it's been around but, So now, after this, we finally got to the point, we felt that the research was clear enough, the case was compelling enough that it would do more harm than good to put it in there. And it went through all the processes within the APA for approval, and it was approved and added to the online version, and now that's going it's in the hardcopy version as well. That's by far the biggest change. Probably the next biggest change has to do with suicide. Now suicide. If you look at the DSM now, suicide is basically a criterion in major depressive episodes, criterion number nine, that's like the biggest suicide of course, as a therapist, what are the most important things that we have to deal with very, very important but the DSM has a little sidelight so to speak. So we felt it was very important for therapists and clinicians and researchers to have a way to indicate the presence of suicidal behavior, independent of depression. Suicidal behavior can occur in a wide variety of mental disorders including no mental disorder at all. So we wanted to have a way to indicate that. So it turns out that there's a mechanism within the ICD 10, which is the coding system. You everybody know that when you write down the diagnostic code, you get paid. That's your that's how the DSM code, that's the code from the International Classification of Diseases, which is a government controlled system, we realize that there are these things called symptom codes in the ICD 10, which are not disorders, but they allow you to list a particular symptom, that is of particular importance. So we actually went and requested from the NCHS, the National Center for Health Statistics to have a new code created for suicidal behavior, current and history of suicidal behavior, and also current non suicidal self injury and history of non suicidal self injury. So there's four separate codes that are now in the book that will allow you, it's optional, obviously, to list those along with the diagnosis. So if you have somebody with Major Depressive Disorder, who's suicidal, you would list both major depressive disorder as a diagnosis. And we also list this special code. In addition, that's so that's a really nice addition. The rest are not quite... so one of them is there's a category that's been added actually restored, called unspecified mood disorder. And what's that? Why is that a big deal? It turns out that, you know, when you first see somebody who has a mixture of mood symptoms, you have to right, you're one of the things about getting paid is you need every time you see the patient or his client, you need to write down a diagnosis. Katie Vernoy 08:32 Yep! Dr. Michael First 08:32 What the person look like during that meeting. So let's say you have your first meeting with a client, and they have this, you know, mix of irritability and agitation and a little sad, what would you call that? And you say, Well, you know, I'm going to have to look into maybe I'll check their history more speak to some other previous treaters, we got to write something down. So what the DSM does in general, when you see someone and you don't know what the diagnosis is yet, either because it doesn't fit into any of the diagnoses, or because you simply don't have enough information. That's where these unspecified codes come from. So they typically do you see somebody who is psychotic, and either you don't have enough time to figure out what diagnosis it is, or there simply doesn't fit in the type of psychosis doesn't fit into any diagnosis, you would write down Psychotic Disorder, unspecified. So for mood, there is Bipolar Disorder, unspecified, and Depressive Disorder unspecified. The question is that person who is agitated and irritable, what is it? What would you call that? And there's some implication, if you wrote down Bipolar Disorder, unspecified, then in their record their medical record, the rest of their life will be something that says Bipolar disorder, when in fact, this may simply morph into a case of Major Depressive Disorder, because irritability and agitation is commonly seen in depression. So the real what we had to do, we introduced a new unspecified category that allows you to be neutral about whether it's bipolar or depression. So that's why it's called Unspecified Mood Disorder, which you can use that you're saying no, I don't know what it is. And I'm not I know it's a mood problem, because the symptom is a mood symptom. But I'm not going to commit myself to say whether it's either depressive or bipolar. So it's a new parking place, so to speak, to put your client before you figure out what's going on in a way that's going to be less stigmatized. And that's great. And if it's a couple of corrections to problems in the criteria, that's one of the ones is Autism Spectrum Disorder. So Autism Spectrum, so if you were called in, when we went from DSM-4 to five, that was a new category that was created that used to be autism, autistic disorder, and Asperger's disorder, there are several different and pdds are different types of autism disorders. For DSM-5, they decided to consider the entire thing a spectrum of conditions. So it's now Autism Spectrum Disorder. And it comes with three levels of severity. So Autism Spectrum Disorder is defined, there are two clusters of symptoms. There's the social interaction, social engagement, awkward social reading, social cue, cues, piece of autism, and then there's this preoccupation with unusual interests or repeating words. So there's two separate dimensions of autism, the autism spectrum, so the criteria set was reformulated. And we had to come up with a new algorithm. Now, the challenge here is Autism Spectrum Disorder is really had a huge amount of interest for the past 10, 15 years because of what appears to be this explosion in cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder. And part of that has been argued that people are recognizing it more, and that's why there's more cases, but part of it is over recognizing anyway, that's the kind of little weird and awkward Oh, they're on the spectrum, that's become a common phrase in the English language. Now, if you watch movies and TV start hearing, Oh, that guy's on the spectrum. So it's become incorporated into language. But it also shows that it's been overused and over diagnosed. So when you.. the diagnostic criteria sets, the prevalence often depends upon how you construct the criteria set. So when you have a criteria set, for example, the test five out of 10, if you were to make the requirement three out of 10, the prevalence would go up a lot. If you were to go up to eight out of 10, you would shrink the prevalence. So those kinds of criteria that give you a number out of a larger number has a big effect on prevalence. So when they reformulated the autism criteria set, they wanted to make sure that the the new criteria set was conservative. So that so the way it works is there are three items for the social impairment piece of it, and four of the interest restricted interests problem, the restricted interest is two out of four, the social one was supposed to be three out of three. But if you look at the criteria itself, it just says, including the following wasn't clear if you had to have all the following or any of the following, or whatever it was intended to be all the following because they were very worried about not inflating the rates of Autism Spectrum Disorder. So the new version now has very clearly all of the following. So that I think is good. I don't know how many people were making that error, but certainly was there to be made. And you opened up to different interpretation. I think those are some of the bigger ones. There's lots of small number of small tinkering around. But I think those are probably the most one of the greatest political interest. Curt Widhalm 16:47 We received a lot of listener feedback and some specific questions as far as some diagnostics that may not be appearing and specifically, some things like Complex PTSD, Developmental Trauma Disorder, Orthorexia, can you explain to our audience a little bit here, as far as what your process is for inclusion, or further research into maybe an inclusion of these in the future? These are things that are being discussed with the APA, and kind of how the decision is made, as far as what do we include? What we kind of continue to just monitor and see what's out there. Dr. Michael First 17:21 So that's another a change in process when the DSM-5 was done over, however, eight years, they had all these committees, and they would would look what's out there in the literature, and people would write in suggestions. So there's a whole process during the DSM-5 to make lots of major major changes, those committees don't exist anymore. Instead, there's a steering committee. And what the steering committee does is we entertain proposals for new new disorder. So the Prolonged Grief Disorder, even though it was in the appendix, somebody had to come and propose that it be added to DSM-5. But when you put together the proposal, that is, on the DSM portal, there's a whole complicated... we they give an indication of what kind of empirical information is required you and submit your evidence of validity, reliability will make your cost benefit analysis is the harm versus the advantages is balanced in the right direction. So yeah, there's some hurt hurdles to go through to get one of these things in there. And the website lays out what those hurdles are. So now, the system is more reacting to what people suggest rather than coming up with diagnoses on our own. So he says, a little bit of a change. So that's now the process. All the changes you've just mentioned so far were suggested, and then ultimately approved, but let's cover some of the ones you met. So right now, there's really no unless somebody were to write in and say I want Complex PTSD in there. We're not going to be considered unless somebody actually outside the system proposes it and makes it formal proposals. Now, complex PTSD is interesting, because the ICD 11 I mentioned in the beginning that I worked on the ICD 11. On past Complex PTSD, they both PTSD and complex PTSD, in ICD 11. So they made the decision to include that condition. Now, the DSM, turns out that the DSM version of PTSD if you compare it to the ICD, PTSD and complex PTSD, they're elements in the complex PTSD, much of that has been incorporated to the criteria set for PTSD. So it's kind of a little blurry with what's and what's not emphasized, is it typically when Complex PTSD was first proposed, it was a type of PTSD that happened in response to chronic early traumatic experiences often ongoing. That was the original concept, but it turns out, this is from the ICD 11. If you look at the ICD 11 definition, even though they say that's often the kind of trauma that causes Complex PTSD, that's not required. That defines Complex PTSD, at least in the ICD. It's like PTSD, plus some chronic changes in the person to soon have a chronic sense of disconnection, chronic inability to social impairments, they basically been changed, the trauma is so extensive, it's almost like change them as a person. So you have more typical symptoms of PTSD like re experiencing, and avoiding things plus these more fundamental differences in the person. Now, some of those complex PTSD symptoms are now in the PTSD criteria set. So that's what I meant by saying that we sort of took some of the complex and added it to the regular one. So that so here's an example where there are a number of examples where the ICD 11 and the DSM-5 differ. And that's one of them, you know, DSM-5 decided to have a single PTSD category that was a little bit more broad, where ICD 11 decided that they wanted to have two. Some of the other proposals, some I've heard some other proposals, but a lot of these proposals that have been floating around, haven't really reached the stage of enough empirical research, really, to be able to be seriously considered for the DSM, they're potentially good ideas, but none of them have been offered as actual proposals, with proposed evidence to be able to be evaluated, but any of those somebody, and if you're any people listening, want to make such a proposal, you go to the way which you could do that. There's a website, which is easy, www.DSM5.org, if you go to that website, that's the DSM website. On the front page, you'll see there's a it tells you how you can make a proposal and what you need to do to fill out the application. Katie Vernoy 21:44 It seems like what you're describing is a process to really allow a feedback loop to the steering committee. And you also described the the DSM as being because it's electronic, being a little bit more dynamic in being able to pick these things up.You know, what is the likelihood that one of these diagnoses assuming they've got the empirical research attached with my ended up in the next DSM like like is that? Dr. Michael First 22:10 Well, to say that there is no next DSM for the time being, it could go in if somebody were to write a proposal today, for Complex PTSD and arguing that the current PTSD isn't covering a very important group of patients that there's a these are the kinds of things you would kind of argument you could make for something like that would include things like the fact that I that diagnosis does exist is hurting people because people are not recognizing it. More so the reason it's hurting them, the treatment for complex PTSD would be different than regular PTSD. That's another part of the compelling case. Another part of the argument is that you need to show that it's somehow distinct from regular PTSD and distinct from other conditions, like adjustment disorder, or, or, you know, this new Prolonged Grief Disorder. So those are the kinds of things you would need to do to make a convincing case, and then you would submit it. And if it goes through the whole process, and was approved, it would now go into the DSM. The hardcopy version, of course, you know, it's not if you buy it, it's not in your version you bought, but the electronic version, it will go into there. So we're in a funny transition now where you have the hardcopy version and the electronic version living side by side. And therefore, if you buy the hardcopy version, you're not, you know, it's it's easy to see the ongoing changes, but APA considers what's approved and in the electronic version to be the official DSM. And the hardcopy, like, the one that's going on sale now is a snapshot of where the electronic version looks like, you know, it looks like now. So everything that's in electronic version is now in hardcopy version. But as things happen, if somebody were to get complex PTSD in there, and it gets in there before the next hardcopy version comes out, then you'll have the situation where it's only on the electronic version, and not in the hardcopy version, but it's it's on the electronic version, you could use it, you know, it doesn't have to be in the hardcopy version to be legitimate diagnosis to make when one of your clients Katie Vernoy 24:03 That's decided then, I'm not buying a new copy, then I'm just gonna get the electronic version. Curt Widhalm 24:11 So when you're looking at the research that's submitted, what kind of thresholds are you looking at here? It sounds like part of this is not only the criteria that's maybe showing up in people's offices, but also some of the ways that things are being treated as some of the factors that you look at in how things are included, how things are rolled out, you're kind of kept under some of the existing diagnostics that are there, but what are you really looking for in the research that people are proposing? Dr. Michael First 24:43 Well, this does not that no one thing I mean, I personally, I'm a clinical utility persons so to me, the most compelling thing is making a case that is going to help people and not hurt them. I mean that person, but that's not sufficient. I mean, you can make a proposal that that's the case but if because there's two things. One is this, say this is a good category to put in there. And then it's how to define it. That's a big problem and lots of concepts are out there. But what would be the criteria set, for example, for Complex PTSD that actually is a distinct group, and wouldn't by accident, include people who don't have complex PTSD? So it's a technical thing is the case for complex PTSD is, like, let's look at what happened with Prolonged Grief Disorder. There's a perfect, so that's already happened. How did that get in there? Well, patients were out there that people were noticing that didn't fit in any of the DSM categories. And they clearly were suffering. So they had some kind of mental disorder. They didn't have as I people say, Oh, well, they have Major Depression. That's not Major Depression, you can have Major Depression, and Prolonged Grief Disorder. But they're not the same at all. Hardly any overlap. So there's a big home system that allows people to come into your office and not have any place for them. So that's the first piece of it, then another compelling thing about comp, Prolonged Grief Disorder is is that psychotherapy that has specifically been developed, it's a variation when a CBT for treating Prolonged Grief Disorder that's been successful. So that's another compelling reason not only are you calling it something, but you have something to offer your clients by saying, Well, this is the recommended treatment. So that's the kind of argument you know, the DSM, it's very the spin, especially since DSM-4 detector, in fact it was a paper that came out before DSM-4 came out called holding the line on diagnostic proliferation, it was very easy, used to be very easy, it sounds like a good idea, we go into the DSM, a couple of problems is that once a category gets into the DSM, it's very, very, very hard to get it out. There's been very few diagnoses which have been deleted, because always some constituency says you will ruin my practice if you get rid of this diagnosis. So that's why knowing that it's easy to get in easier to get in than to get pulled out, you really want to make sure that things that are in the DSM won't need to be pulled out because you've too hastily added. I think there's been kind of a much more conservative view about putting categories in the DSM nowadays than there were back in 20, 30 years ago. Katie Vernoy 27:13 We also got some some questions and we've had some conversations actually recently about diagnostic criteria that potentially needs to be adapted to fit a more diverse population or an understanding of the diversity in our population. I'm just curious, how culture, other demographic differences, all that all the things, how those things have been addressed in the the text revision, but also kind of the the concept around how you're making sure that the criteria, the descriptions all of the pieces really align with a very diverse population that we that we live in? Dr. Michael First 27:50 That's a great question. In fact, there's been major efforts, since DSM-4, there was a special committee starting with DSM-4 for culture, culture related issues, how disorders present differently in different cultures. Now, the criteria sets are hypothetically supposed to be vanilla, that apply across all cultures, the way you deal with cultural variations in the text is one section called Culture Related Features. If you look at the content of that text, it's very specific than in this population and may look like this. So it's trying to show how that variability is taken into account. But it's an opportunity to let me tell you about a very important thing that we did with the TR that was basically, it's very interesting was they taking your during the development, During the development of TR, George Floyd happen, and our entire consciousness about systemic racism became sort of raised. Then the question was, are there things in the DSM that are reflective of this kind of systemic racism? So we actually created a committee that went through the entire DSM, looking for, um, not necessarily races as the most extreme case, but things that were not quite nuanced enough, like very often, you know, like, the big one of the big problems, of course, it's like what is race anyway? But that is because you're, you're an African American, are you really different than other people? If you are different, like very often in the DSM, the prevalence section will say this, if we break it down by ethnic group will say of depression in blacks is this and in Latinos Is this the question is why is it different? Is it because of biological reasons among these groups is out twice as if it is a different life experiences? It's lots of huge amount of data that the the disadvantage social settings for some of these groups, is the reason why they're different, not something essential about being Black or Latino. So that was one of the things when they went through the whole book, they're looking to avoid giving a message that something about the race itself is what's causing it to happen. So the way they dealt with it, is that they have a statement that says it's this in blacks and it's not and an extra sentence that says, this difference is likely due to differential exposure to racism or things like that. So it was a very, very thoughtful way of trying to make it clear and de emphasize it also get rid of stigmatizing statements, that to the whole, the whole book went through that thing, and that was really triggered by the awareness that was that was not originally part of the original plan of the TR it was the fact that that happened during the process. A new committee was been doing the process. I'm glad that we had enough time was early enough in the process, that we're able to get it in the DSM-5, I was a little dubious. But we they worked really, really hard that committee to be able to go through the all areas of the text revision to make sure it it worked for across culture, and also not not taking the certain minorities, stigmatized, Katie Vernoy 30:54 Were any of the diagnoses assessed in that way and determining whether those diagnoses were appropriate across all the different demographic considerations. So one that comes to mind specifically, we recently had a discussion on Trans mental health and Gender Dysphoria is one that that kind of is a requirement to be able to kind of move forward with some of the things for transition. And it was interesting, the conversation was like, Well, I'm not dysphoric it's it's socially, you know, kind of everyone around me is dysphoric about my gender, I'm not and I have to kind of go through this process of saying that I'm dysphoric in order to get the letter that I need for the hormones or whatever, were there, or are there plans to look at kind of the impact of diagnoses or how diagnoses are put together and the impact on folks that are in in typically marginalized populations? Dr. Michael First 31:44 Well, culturally, I think Trans is a special case, I could get to that whole issue of should trans even be in the DSM. I mean, lots of people in the Trans community don't consider it a mental disorder. So let's get general, we do consider that like Conduct Disorder is a good example, about a lot of the items and Conduct Disorder in minority populations living in high crime area, it's normal, it's like adaptive to do some of the items in the Conduct Disorder criteria sets. And we don't want to give people who are trying to adapt to their typical environment a diagnosis simply because in a different population, it advantage suburban population, it would be evidence of pathology, so you get into text for Conduct Disorder has things in there and the criteria sets get adjusted to drop items that might be overly influenced by culture and not apply to other cultures. And now Trans is a different story. So... Katie Vernoy 32:38 Okay Dr. Michael First 32:38 Let me get into that. So the name is also changed DSM-5, it's now called Gender Dysphoria. It used to be Gender Identity Disorder, that's what it was, is up to DSM-5, so they actually changed it from Gender Identity Disorder to Gender Dysphoria to make it less stigmatizing it was felt that saying, there was something wrong with your identity, there's a disorder and your identity was much more stigmatizing than saying that you're upset or it's creating a dysphoria. The fact that the term used in the ICD for this condition is Gender Incongruence, which is very well descriptive term, it's the sense that your assigned gender and your experience gender are incongruent. So the recent the problem, is it. So the individual they say, Well, I'm not dysphoric. I agree, you could say that they shouldn't get any mental disorder. But there's a big problem. How do you get qualified for treatment? Unfortunately, we live in a country, there's lots of things that are very harmful, like, you know, marital strife, child abuse, you can't get paid if you put a code for marital relationship problem on your billing form and submit it, nobody's gonna cover it because the insurance companies and the government have made a decision, unwise in my perspective, that's not my call, to not inlcude, not cover things that are not really ensuring the way they look at us insurance is for medical conditions. That's the basic concept, we're not going to, for example, if you want to get plastic surgery to make yourself look better, and make you feel better, their government says we're not going to cover that because that's sort of a cosmetic thing, even though it makes you feel better. You're not treating a disorder, to have a nose job, for example. There's a whole bunch of things that the government doesn't want to cover, unfortunately, basically, in the ICD, everything is outside of the disorder section, you won't get covered for. Now Gender Dysphoria is in the mental disorder of section, actually, therefore, you could qualify for treatment. If they were to remove it from the DSM entirely, then you would never be able to, insurance companies would not, not to say the insurance companies are happy about covering it, but they would really have a weapon to say well, if it's on the DSM, we have no obligation to cover so what what happened in the ICD 11 which I saw just came out they had the same problem, but they had a different solution. The ICD 11 is all of medicine not just mental disorders. So they had the option of moving Gender Incongruence out of the mental disorder section and moving it somewhere else so that it could still get paid for. And where did they move it, they created a new chapter called Conditions of Sexual Health or something like that. And therefore they were able to put it there. And now it's a condition that could get paid for. The United States, which is still using ICD 11. United States still using ICD 10. So there's no place in ICD 10 to move it. So that's why we're kind of frozen in the situation of it continuing to be in the DSM in that spot, for very utilitarian reasons. I mean, I'll give you another example, somebody who actually heard this case, person had sexual reassignment surgery, and broke took it off as a tax deduction under the health thing. They were challenged by the IRS, they said, Oh, no sex reassignment surgery is a cosmetic procedure, you can't take a deduction for that's their attitude. Katie Vernoy 35:59 Wow Dr. Michael First 36:01 It's very tricky, because again, they don't want to cover things. So it's a balance, yes, it's stigmatizing. But on balance, is it better to deal with the stigma, by virtue of the placement in the DSM, or not have the services covered anymore, we're kind of stuck, there's some talk about moving maybe to a different spot in the DSM to try to help with that. But the code, still, the code, and the code is still mental disorder code. So until the ICD code actually changes, it's going to, it's gonna be a mental disorder, we don't have any control over that. That's the government. Katie Vernoy 36:35 Sounds really complex. Curt Widhalm 36:37 So if I can kind of synthesize down some of the important points that I'm hearing here is, in this process, you've taken some of the criticisms from the field of the DSM and made it more inclusive. As far as feedback opportunities for professionals. It's not, you know, committees hidden away in dark rooms, you know, twirling their mustaches, or running their fingers and just, you know, being the arbiters of mental health diagnostics. But one of the major things that I want to emphasize that you've brought up here a couple of times, is that there's a lot of parts of the DSM that are not just the diagnostic lists, that people should read from time to time. And I think that outside of maybe some of the psychopathology classes that grad students have to go through, we sometimes forget that and that a lot of the information that we do break up in our conversations that the text parts, this is the major emphasis of the text revision here is go and read these parts. And it probably answers a lot of the questions and criticisms that we have from the field. And now, more so than ever, it's had an opportunity for a lot more people to at least make suggestions and that feedback has been looked at. Dr. Michael First 37:51 I can't agree with you more they criteria pretty bare bones. So yeah, on their own, they lots of could discuss argue about what what generally means that's what the text is there for. The text allows you to explain what they are, how do you assess it? As I said, the text is like 99% of the words in the DSM and the criteria, maybe 1% or less. So the text is extremely important. That's why we did the text revision. The difference to the from the last one is we did just leave it to the text, we also have the criteria. But you're absolutely right. Many of these things we dealt with, like this whole thing about systemic racism, if you look at the criteria set, there's nothing in the criteria in the TR, that would indicate that we did anything having to do with our sense sensitivity to race. That's all in the text. Katie Vernoy 38:35 So to that point, I wanted to check in on a couple of things, because it seems like there's an opportunity for anyone anywhere who's able to do some research make the case they can submit to the committee. But I'm curious about who's at the table who's who's on the steering committee? And are you including folks that is there a diverse population of folks, there are other people with lived experience that are giving feedback, like how are you making sure that there's enough folks at the table to make sure that you continue this process of assessing how you're not managing just not even just culture, but also the lived experience of being autistic or, or other areas of neurodiversity? That there are folks who have psychotic symptoms that are weighing in on some of these things? And what the presentations, those things? I mean, it just it seems like there's, there's such a huge opportunity to have a lot of perspectives. How are you navigating that internally with a steering committee? Dr. Michael First 39:33 Well, the steering committee is very small, then it goes to a committee are experts, there are women on the steering committee, and there are people who are African American, but it's still Well, obviously, just because there's one African American and a couple of women, it doesn't mean all perspectives are covered. We realize you're not simply a bunch of white guys making the decisions here. Got it tomorrow to the to where but you're making it where do we get those other perspectives? Well, the way we try to deal with that is before when something gets like, lets this go to Prolonged Grief Disorder is a good example. That category was controversial because there are a number of people who felt that you're calling people who are having normal grief, you're calling them having a disorder. And there's a lot of pushback against that category. So what we did is when before somebody gets into the final DSM and approved, it gets posted on the DSM-5 website for 45 days, it's open for comment and we get lots of comments. And that's really the opportunity for people with lived experience to say, you know, you, you clearly didn't take into account this aspect that I live with this, if you didn't get it to committee would read all of that. If they make a good case, then they could change it. Absolutely. So that's the way I mean, being on this tiny group of people who make the decisions. Unfortunately, the limit to how diverse we can make this, there's not that many people, but there are many layers. I mean, even within the American Psychiatric Association, it's got to be approved by this thing called the APA Assembly, which is sort of like Congress, so to speak, with lots of diversity built into that. And then so the so many different levels of approval, that's where some of the diversity comes in. It could it could be make it more, maybe, but that's what we're able to do. Katie Vernoy 41:15 Well it seems like there's also an opportunity to reach out to diagnostic communities when when a new diagnosis is being presented to make sure that you're getting some of that feedback, it seems like there's there's mechanisms in place, my hope is that there's also efforts to connect with folks with lived experience or those elements so that people can really be ready to take on that 45 day period. Dr. Michael First 41:37 Right? That's actually quite how do we, We do our best to publicize it. Yeah, but you're right, it'd be great. In fact, we've done that before, I think that this particular case, with Prolonged Grief, I think there are organizations, you know, patient groups, we could go to them and say, you know, like, we made a change in the psychotic section, or clearly, individuals have lots of experience. NAMI and, those kinds of groups. So there have not been any changes, you know, recently that would affect that. But that would be obviously something we would want to do is to go perfect sure that they're aware that the change is there and give them an opportunity to give their feedback. Curt Widhalm 42:14 Where can people find out more about you and your work? Dr. Michael First 42:17 I have a website at Columbia, at Columbia, every faculty member gets a website, I happen to have a Wikipedia page. So you could look at that. My email, I don't keep my email addresses secret. That's one thing. I mean, it was very interested in me working with this, if I have to contact an expert to get their email address could be incredibly difficult. You take them in and you type an email. It's nowhere you have to. I don't know why people are so afraid to have their email address public. But I mine has been public. It's been public the entire time I've been in the field. And I'm happy for people to let me know what they think. Curt Widhalm 42:54 And we'll drop Dr. First's email in our show notes. You can check that out over at mtsgpodcast.com.

After hearing how the dedicated teachers at North Charleston High School created a Makerspace for their students, BERNINA and Craig Conover from Bravo TV, Southern Charm, and the owner of Sewing Down South, decided to outfit the space so that NCHS scholars could dream, create and pursue their passion.This story of creativity and hope began when Ms. Connell, an art teacher at NCHS and founder of the school's Makerspace, noticed that there was a lot of interest in sewing and fashion. After receiving a donation of fabric, she had the students experiment with sewing pillows, and from there the idea of a Makerspace started to take shape. Ms. Connell has teamed up with Ms. Murray, a team member and librarian at NCHS to further develop the program. Meanwhile, Ms. Clegg, who runs the Liberty Hill STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) Initiative in the North District, has also jumped in to help. Thanks to the participation of several partners including Boeing and CCFC, the Makerspace has expanded to additional schools in the northern district and will now include grades K-12. As these dedicated professionals share their stories and the evolution of a Makerspace program for aspiring scholars, the excitement is palpable. According to Ms. Clegg, the machines donated by BERNINA, and the other partnerships they've formed will be the foundation for the Makerspace in the area, which will help these young scholars learn life skills and artistic ways to express themselves.BERNINA credits Craig Conover's sewing journey as the initial source of their inspiration to get involved with this amazing local effort—so when BERNINA donated 12 Bernette machines to NCHS, Craig Conover accompanied them. He provided words of support and encouragement, while also presenting them with a challenge to create. Craig shares that he was bullied a lot growing up, and that sewing was one of his outlets for dealing with it—although he mostly did it in the privacy of his home. He also talks about how, when he was growing up there were no Makerspaces, and goes on to say, “Having a space in the school where you can explore your creative side comfortably and encourage each other, it's just great.” Craig's ability to escape negative feelings through the act of sewing and his realization that there's beauty in imperfection informed his decision to start Sewing Down South. He talks about his journey of starting the business with his business partner Jerry Casselano, how sewing is therapeutic, and how the machines that were donated will enable young scholars to bring a lot of joy to people. He knows that while the pressure about gender norms isn't as great as it used to be, kids still aren't really introduced to sewing and cooking. He also knows that a lot of them don't have a sewing machine at home, so they don't have the chance to discover their talent. He shares his excitement at the prospect that Programs like Makerspace can really help students discover a talent they didn't even know they had. (5:26-9:23)We talked to so many wonderful individuals at this event; professionals who are committed to helping these students grow and evolve their passions. As Ms. Clegg so aptly states, “What's special about our scholars is a lot of people sell them short… We not only want to show our neighborhoods, our cities, our state, and the world that our scholars can fly, we want to prove to them that they can fly.” Craig and his partner Jerry are providing an opportunity for these young scholars to do just that. They shared their support of them and put forth a challenge that could result in some young scholars having the opportunity to sell their creations from the “creator's corner” in their store. His show, and his store, are about breaking down gender stereotypes and showing boys and girls that they can succeed at anything they want, from sports to sewing. “Let's get out of the shadow,” he encourages them, “let's have fun and connect,” (15:43 – 17:56)Talking with all of the wonderful people in this podcast proves that good still exists and that it's this good that will shape the futures of the young scholars at NCHS. If you want to be uplifted this holiday, listen to this special podcast and share the power of love, giving back, and helping our students understand that they can do more than just walk through this life…they can fly!If you know someone who has an outstanding story that should be shared on this podcast, drop Meg a note to info@soandsopodcast.com or complete the form on our website.

Listen in as we discuss some tips for healthy dialogue and connection with these ladies (and those who share their concerns). Highlights 3:56 “Researcher Rita” 5:48 “Super-helper Susan” 7:18 “Fearful Franny” “Franny is worried. She's worried about you. She's worried about the baby worried. You'll get a flat tire on the way to the birth center. Worried your midwife won't make it in time and your baby will be born on the bathroom floor like that woman in the lifetime movie. She's just worried. But this worry isn't exclusive to your birth. And it'll probably continue on long after you've had your baby, it'll just be directed at other things. ” - Sam LeGassick Follow Along www.instagram.com/samantha_legassick https://www.facebook.com/groups/createdforbirtheducation Click here to download my Free Guide to Hiring the Right Doula For You Sources mentioned in today's episode MacDorman MF, Mathews TJ, Declercq E.

The leading causes of death didn't change much from 2019 to 2020, except for additional deaths due to COVID-19. Determining and recording cause of death involves funeral home directors, local medical certifiers, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). NCHS uses a standardized system to determine the underlying cause of death. The leading causes of death in Kansas for Sept. 1 – December 31 were similar for 2019 and 2020, except for additional deaths due to COVID-19. COVID was the leading cause of death for the period we reviewed in 2020. Otherwise, the leading causes of death in Kansas for that period remained mostly unchanged from 2019 to 2020. In our review of the time period September 1 – December 31, there were 3,331 (36%) more deaths in 2020 than in 2019. The increase in the number of deaths from 2019 to 2020 is largely attributable to COVID-19. Both KDHE and NCHS officials reported adding new review processes when COVID-19 is listed as the cause of death.
This week, we talk to Cynthia Rivera, department chair of school counseling at New Canaan High School, about the highly unusual and stressful college search, application and admissions processes for the class of 2021. Scheduled to graduate next Tuesday, the seniors had just started preparing for the big college push—with searches, test prep and scheduling—when the pandemic hit in march of their junior year, throwing everything into uncertainty for the students and for the counselors who stood by helping them navigate an important and suddenly extra difficult time.
June is Men's Health Month and once again men are being faced with some dire health circumstances and according to many health research agencies, our situations are getting better. Average life expectancy in the United States dropped by a full year—from 78.8 to 77.8 years—in the first six months of 2020, according to provisional data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), and the life expectancy gap between the sexes widened. Women now outlive men by an average of 5.4 years versus the 5.1-year average in 2019, the NCHS reported and it's even lower if you are an African-American or Hispanic male.

This week, we talk to New Canaan High School junior Sage Fuhrman, who one year ago launched her own company. Born out of the high school’s Mitzvah Club, which she founded, Sweet Krackerz are pieces of unleavened mitzvah bread with different types of sweet toppings, such as chocolate, sprinkles, marshmallow, Oreos and Heath bars. Fuhrman in what she calls “acts of sweetness” gives the tasty treats away—to police, firefighters, EMTs, animal rescue groups and others. To keep it going, she also sells the Sweet Krackerz—at the Wilton Farmers Market and, starting this year, the Norwalk Farmers Market, as well.

Against the Misuse of Science in the So-called “Pandemic”. The RT-PCR Test Prof. Dr. Reiner Anderl, Declaring His Resignation from the Academy of Sciences By Prof. Dr. Thomas Aigner Global Research, February 14, 2021 Letter to the President of the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz, Dear colleagues, With greatest astonishment, with deepest concern, even bewilderment, I have taken note of the “7th ad hoc statement” of the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina of 8.12.2020. In my opinion, this paper is not worthy of an honest, critical-balancing science oriented towards the service and welfare of human beings. I do not have medical expertise. However, as a scientist committed to nothing but the pure truth, I take the liberty of speaking out. I feel very strongly alarmed by several points: on 11/27/2020, a group of 22 internationally renowned experts submitted the following expert opinion on the PCR test, the linchpin of the “pandemic”, for the journal Eurosurveillance: “External peer review of the RT-PCR test to detect SARS-CoV-2 reveals 10 major scientific flaws at the molecular and methodological level: consequences for false positive results”. Quote: “This highly questions the scientific validity of the test”. Furthermore, the serious remark: “serious conflicts of interest of the authors are not mentioned” (1). The PCR test is the basis of the justification for declaring a “pandemic”, and RKI, politicians and the media announce the positive test results daily as so-called “new infections”. According to the 22 independent experts, the test contains “several scientific inadequacies, errors and flaws”. It is clearly stated: “the test (is) unsuitable as a specific diagnostic tool to identify the SARS-CoV-2 virus and make inferences about the presence of an infection”. Is it not obvious that there is an extremely serious problem here, which should actually shake the whole “pandemic”? I cannot understand why neither the Leopoldina nor other academies include this well-founded expert opinion and demand or initiate a further, thorough and scientifically clean clarification. Based on this “pandemic”, which is based on at least a very questionable test, a worldwide vaccination campaign is now to be started on an unprecedented scale;and this with vaccines that have never been tested before and that have been developed at an unprecedented speed. In light of the first reported serious side effects and after warnings from renowned experts, it is clear that the completely novel RNA vaccines have been far from adequately tested, especially with regard to long-term effects. Why are the academies silent on such existential issues? Problematic aspects of the Leopoldina statement are even named by Die Welt [German Newspaper]in a scathing analysis (2). Quote:“The damage done by the science functionaries is immense.“ Incidentally, there are currently several statements by medical practitioners that are diametrically opposed to the Leopoldina paper. For example, the Chairman of the Board of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, Prof. Gassen, expects that the hard lockdown now ordered will fail (3). The infectiologist Prof. Schrappe declares the entire lockdown policy a definite failure (4). I had hoped that the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz, as an important sister organization of the National Academy of Sciences, would make a critical statement on the Leopoldina statement. Regrettably, this has not happened so far. Are not the academies the guardians of pure science and also of the freedom of the sciences ? Aren’t the venerable academies particularly challenged in a scientific landscape that is increasingly characterized by third-party funding and the massive influence of powerful lobby interests (e.g. the pharmaceutical industry)? Is it really the task of an academy such as the Leopoldina to fuel the scaremongering of the media and politics? Where is the broad discourse that used to be customary, with a balanced assessment of the sometimes very contradictory statements by scientists and physicians from various disciplines, lawyers, psychologists, sociologists, economists and philosophers? Why is there no reaction from the academies when, in recent months, the voices of proven experts (often of international standing) who articulate an assessment that deviates from the one-size-fits-all narrative, indeed in some cases diametrically contradicts it, are repeatedly ignored, marginalized, even defamed, censored, and deleted from social media? Why no reaction of the academies, if the right to freedom of science and freedom of expression, which is guaranteed in the Basic Law, as well as other fundamental rights are trampled ? Has Germany learned nothing from history? After the governments refer to this, from my point of view disastrous paper of the National Academy of Sciences when imposing a renewed “hard lockdown”, as well as because of the points listed above, I have decided, after careful consideration, to take the certainly unusual step of resigning from the Academy of Sciences in Mainz as an expression of my personal protest. I cannot reconcile it with my conscience to be a part of this kind of science. I want to serve a science that is committed to fact-based honesty, balanced transparency, and comprehensive humanity. For the attention of Prof. Dr. Burkhard Hillebrands (Vice President, Mathematical and Natural Sciences Class), members of the Mathematical and Natural Sciences Class of the Mainz Academy of Sciences, and Prof. Dr. Gerald Haug (President of the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina). Positive PCR tests drop after WHO instructs vendors to lower cycle thresholds. We have been played like a fiddle Positive PCR tests drop after WHO instructs vendors to lower cycle thresholds. We have been played like a fiddle Meryl Nass, February 12, 2021 Shameless manipulation: Positive PCR tests drop after WHO instructs vendors to lower cycle thresholds. We have been played like a fiddle Hospitalization rates associated with Covid have dropped from a high of 132,500 Americans on January 6 to 71,500 on February 12. The US had 920,000 staffed hospital beds in 2019, of which 14.4% harbored a Covid case last month, and 7.8% do now. This tremendous drop was predicted. Every hospitalized patient is tested for Covid, often repeatedly, using PCR tests with high false positive rates. False positives are due in considerable part to exhorbitant cycle thresholds. This refers to the maximum number of doublings that are allowed during the test. The problem caused by excessive cycle thresholds was well described in a NY Times article last August, but has otherwise been ignored by the mass media. Dr. Sin Hang Lee challenged the FDA’s reliance on exhorbitant cycle thresholds in its acceptance of efficacy claims for Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine in early December. He and FDA remain engaged in this debate. The WHO instructed PCR test users and manufacturers on December 14 and again on January 20 that PCR cycle thresholds needed to come down. The December 14 guidance stated WHO’s concern regarding “an elevated risk for false SARS-CoV-2 results” and pointed to “background noise which may lead to a specimen with a high cycle threshold value result being [incorrectly] interpreted as a positive result.” The first instruction has been superceded by the second, which additionally advises on clinical use of the test: If the “test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested…” While this implies that the test should only be performed in those with symptoms, and its results should be interpreted with the clinical context in mind, most PCR tests in the US are used very differently: to screen asymptomatics at work, at colleges and universities, to permit border crossings, etc. No caution is applied to the results. One single positive test defines someone as a Covid case. Yet it is well known, and was acknowledged in WHO’s January guidance, that screening in low Covid prevalence situations, such as in the screening of asymptomatics, increases the risk of false positives. And the risk increases as the prevalence of disease drops, such that in situations of low disease prevalence, it is common to find that most positives are actually false positives. For example, see this BMJ chart and then the real-life example in the comment below it. Everyone in the field knew that the PCR test results were bogus. Even Tony Fauci admitted last July that cycle thresholds above 35 were not measuring virus, and furthermore that virus could not be cultured from samples that required a high number of cycles to show positivity. But the drumbeat from the Coronavirus Task Force and some academics and others was “Test all, test often”–despite the inordinate numbers of false positives and negatives. Congress repeatedly allocated many billions of dollars for testing (often free for the person being tested) and so testing quickly mushroomed. Nearly two million Covid tests a day were recorded in the US over the last 3 months. Most of these have been PCR tests which, despite their problems, are still considered the most accurate. Most of the remaining tests performed were rapid antigen tests. These tests too suffer from high false positive rates, as the FDA warned last November. While daily deaths have only dropped about 15% since January 12, there have been dramatic drops during the month in new cases (down 60% from 250,000 new cases/day to 100,000) and, as noted, in hospitalizations (down 46%). Reports claim a total of 475,000 Americans have died from Covid. However, none of these numbers are reliable. In addition to inaccurate PCR results, a variety of other measures have skewed the reported number of deaths from Covid. While CDC electronically codes other causes of death, it has chosen to hand code every Covid death, and explains: o “It takes extra time to code COVID-19 deaths. While 80% of deaths are electronically processed and coded by NCHS within minutes, most deaths from COVID-19 must be coded by a person, which takes an average of 7 days.” I am waiting for CDC to answer my Freedom of Information Act query, which requested the protocol CDC’s coders use for coding Covid-19 as a cause of death. Why is CDC treating Covid deaths differently from deaths due to other conditions? CDC changed the way it coded death certificates for a Covid-caused death last March, to include everyone for whom Covid is in any way contributory to the death. By placing different parts of the instructions about coding on different web pages, CDC successfully hid what it was doing. On one page, the guidance states, “If COVID-19 is determined to be a cause of death, it should be reported on the death certificate.” On a different webpage, CDC states: “When COVID-19 is reported as a cause of death on the death certificate, it is coded and counted as a death due to COVID-19.” CDC has encouraged providers to be generous with Covid designations. And the Covid death definition appears to be a moving target, variable across states. CDC attempts to explain why its mortality numbers do not add up, and includes this excuse: “Other reporting systems use different definitions or methods for counting deaths.” But it is CDC that chose not to issue uniform guidelines. Anyone with a positive Covid test who dies within 30 days of the test is counted as a death due to Covid, even if Covid is not even mentioned on the death certificate in Nevada. Colorado coroners are being forced to list gunshot wound deaths as due to Covid if the victim had a positive recent test. Oregon’s health agency reported last August that: “We consider COVID-19 deaths to be: Deaths in which a patient hospitalized for any reason within 14 days of a positive COVID-19 test result dies in the hospital or within the 60 days following discharge. Deaths in which COVID-19 is listed as a primary or contributing cause of death on a death certificate.” CDC guesstimates that many deaths, perhaps half, which list generic pneumonia as the cause of death are actually Covid deaths, and redesignates them as Covid-caused deaths. CDC created a new statistical category for deaths, titled Pneumonia, Influenza and COVID-19, or PIC, to facilitate this redesignation. CDC admitted that: Weekly mortality surveillance data include a combination of machine coded and manually coded causes of death collected from death certificates. Prior to week 4 (the week ending January 30, 2021), the percentages of deaths due to PIC were higher among manually coded records than more rapidly available machine coded records. Improvements have been made to the machine coding process that allow for more COVID-19 related deaths to be machine coded, and going forward, the percentage of PIC deaths among machine coded and manually coded data are expected to be more similar. The data presented are preliminary and expected to change as more data are received and processed, but the amount of change in the percentage of deaths due to PIC should be lower going forward. Weeks for which the largest changes in the percentage of deaths due to PIC may occur are highlighted in gray in the figure below and should be interpreted with caution. CDC applies several statistical techniques to deal with anomalous data before publishing its cause of death results. The raw death data are not made available to the public. If Covid is listed as one contributor to a death on the death certificate, even if the death is caused by a cancer or heart attack, CDC relabels it a death caused by Covid. Because hospitals are paid several times more by Medicare for patients who have been given a Covid diagnosis, and a positive Covid test is not required, it is assumed that the diagnosis of Covid is applied generously in hospitalized patients. By changing the methods by which it performs its calculations, CDC has made it impossible to compare prior year statistics with the period since the onset of Covid. By accepting excessive cycle thresholds for Covid PCR tests, CDC considerably expanded the numbers of Covid-positive cases and hospitalizations, as well as deaths. I do not mean to imply that the tests, whose manufacturers may have recently reduced their cycle thresholds, are now accurate. Over 200 different PCR tests have been “authorized” under emergency rules by the FDA, which so far has not standardized or formally approved them. The public is in the dark as to whether and how each individual test may have changed in response to WHO’s instruction, and we remain uninformed about the accuracy of each test. In fact, it has been established by the American College of Pathology that PCR test results are not reproducible. By hand-coding each death due to Covid, CDC gave itself the power to determine how many Covid deaths would be counted at any particular time. And by creating excessively loose case definitions for Covid, several of which did not require a single sign of illness, just a positive test, CDC was able to calibrate the number of Covid-positive cases by the rate at which it rolled out tests to the nation. Today, the media are telling us to rejoice. Maryland has just gotten its percentage of positive Covid tests below 5%, when a month ago the rate was 8.76%. In my state of Maine, a reduction in the pecentage of test results that are positive has turned all counties ‘green,’ allowing schools to be open. ————– Things are worse, things are better. Wear no mask–no, wear a mask–hey, wear two masks. New variants with even more infectivity are coming! But they are no more lethal, and SARS-CoV-2 is quite infectious already, so will the new strains make an appreciable difference? It seems that despite having recovered from Covid, we can be reinfected with the new viral strains. But how common is that? Does it simply mean you can have a positive PCR test, but be otherwise asymptomatic? I found only a single case report of a person becoming severely ill from a new strain after having recovered from original Covid. The point is to keep us begging for the latest vaccine as soon as we have received the last but no-longer-effective vaccine. The point is to keep coming up with narratives to justify locking us up and reducing productivity. The point is to keep us frightened and confused and unable to use our wits. The point is to stop us looking deeply and clearly into what is happening, while the media blares Covid hysteria nonstop. Our families are being torn up. Our small businesses are going bankrupt. Our countries, and probably we ourselves, are being scooped up by the banks, as borrowing on an unheard-of scale persists at a dizzying pace. Who will pay these debts? What will be the price? Can you see that the crashing of our economies is intentional, buttressed by lie after lie? We are being lied into the abyss. Our so-called leaders are tossing us and especially our children and grandchildren over a cliff. They threw away our Constitution long ago. Now, they have stolen and sold our future. Please calm down. Turn off all the “news” and ponder what has been happening. We can fix this mess, once enough of us understand it. Give it the time and focus it deserves. Our leaders won’t save us. Only WE can.

Genuine article. Designer TinTin Zhang set up shop in a city famous for fashion fakes and bootlegs – and found real inspiration. The NCHS founder tells Karchun Leung about community, local values and design innovation that’s proudly Made In Putian. TinTin’s avant-garde creativity had classical roots. Her work at Central St Martins and the RCA earned her a prestigious stint in product development at Adidas and an International Talent Support (ITS 2018) OTB Award. With a string of fashion capitals – London, Berlin, Shanghai – and an innovator’s skillset under her belt, the time was right to launch her creative empire on home soil. Neon Cloud Hat System (NCHS) is bringing bold, directional millinery and accessories to China – but as TinTin explains, the local people and culture are her muse as well as her market. Her breakout “Putianciaga” hats repurpose the knock-off sneakers consumers can’t get enough of. Designer fakes are reborn as original co-created street-style. Thanks to online platforms, a brand like NCHS can stay local and embedded in a community – while reaching a bigger audience and boosting an emerging creative hub like Putian on the world stage. As TinTin sees it, ethical, game-changing fashion can happen far from bright lights and runways. NCHS just asks that we watch this space.
v3 - Updated 2020-12-31 4:12 PMCould past and present major world events have been, and continue to be, heavily influenced by a secret elite cabal? Anyone entertaining such a possibility is often immediately labelled a "conspiracy theorist" and considered to be a fringe, right-wing, Q-Anon-believing nut. At the beginning of this episode we expose how the CIA weaponized the term "conspiracy theory" so that it could be used to silence people who forwarded (accurate) views that were contrary to the CIA's desired narratives. We then shed light on a massively influential global conspiracy orchestrated by a small group of elites, a conspiracy that has been well-documented chiefly by the esteemed professor and historian Dr. Carrol Quigley (the mentor of former US President Bill Clinton). This is not a conspiracy theory; it's a conspiracy fact! Without a full appreciation of this historical and factual conspiracy, you will not be able to understand many current events, including The Great Reset, the acts of global bodies (like the UN and WHO), the widespread current pandemic-related madness, the political turmoil that surrounds US President Trump, the booms and busts of Western economies, various wars, the bias of the legacy media, and the power and rapid degradation of our educational institutions.Episode Timeline & Notes0:00:32 - IntroductionCTV News | Ontario will enter province-wide lockdown as of Christmas Eve, sources sayThe Globe and Mail | Ontario expected to enter full lockdown on Christmas Eve, sources say680NEWS | lockdown at 12:01 am on December 24th)TipTop Daily | BREAKING – All regions of the province will enter the lockdown stage at 12:01 am on December 24th, sources indicate to 680NEWS. 0:01:40 - The Manufactured Relief Technique0:03:02 - Updates0:04:21 - Another banned doctor groupFLCCC | Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance | covid19criticalcare.com(Video also up on Rumble)0:05:59 - Great Reset went viralTwitter | Trudeau - Build Back Better-Agenda 2030-Pandemic opportunity-Reset-Climate ChangeYouTube | Global News | Coronavirus: Trudeau tells UN conference that pandemic provided "opportunity for a reset"Schwab, Klaus; Malleret, Thierry.

This week, we talk to New Canaan High Schoolseniors Will Galvanand Payton Welch, co-presidents of the Service League of Boysor 'SLOBs.' The largest club at NCHS is finding new ways to do its volunteer work amid the pandemic.
2020: Year of the Nurse an Interview with Ellen Kurtzman “When you're ready for something, life opens the door for you.” — Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (09:29-09:35) Ellen T. Kurtzman, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN, is a health services researcher and a tenured associate professor of nursing with secondary appointments in the university’s Milken Institute School of Public Health and Trachtenberg School of Public Policy & Public Administration. In this week’s episode, let’s get to know her more. Part One of ‘2020: Year of the Nurse an Interview with Ellen Kurtzman’ Dr. Kurtzman teaches health policy, research, and statistics. Her investigator-initiated research explores the impact of federal, state, and institutional policies on health care quality and the role of the healthcare workforce in achieving higher-value care. From 2014-2016, Dr. Kurtzman served as the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)/Academy Health Policy Fellow, which placed her “in residence” at NCHS to collaborate with federal researchers and access NCHS restricted data assets. From 2011 to 2012, was an affiliate scholar at the Urban Institute’s Health Policy Center. Serving as both a collaborator from 2007-2010 and Visiting Nurse Scholar from 2010-2011 with the NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health at The University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Kurtzman advanced and built policy support for a model of care for chronically ill elderly, referred to as the Transitional Care Model. “Many times, in my career, I've done projects that people have told me not to do, but I felt like they were important. And they've turned out to be the projects that had the biggest impact.” — Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (33:08-33:20) Before joining academia, Dr. Kurtzman served in senior capacities for organizations such as the American Red Cross, National Quality Forum (NQF), American Health Care Association, National PACE Association, and the Partnership for Behavioral Healthcare. While at NQF, she was the architect of national consensus standards for measuring nursing’s contribution to quality. She also led NQF’s national efforts to establish a hospital and home health care quality and performance standards. Dr. Kurtzman received her PhD in public policy and Administration from GW’s Trachtenberg School, her MPH from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and her BSN from the University of Pennsylvania. In 2009, Dr. Kurtzman was inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. Part Two of ‘2020: Year of the Nurse an Interview with Ellen Kurtzman’ She went from being a bedside nurse to getting a degree in public health and then having the public policy. But her research program has always been on how the policy environment influences the care and delivery of health care in this country. Her most recent work explores team-based care's role in the quality of office-based physician practices and the prevalence of opioid prescribing in ambulatory care settings. She has led studies examining the quality of care and the services delivered by nurse practitioners and physician assistants, the impact of occupational restrictions on clinician practice, the effect of Medicaid expansion on community health centers, and the influence of performance-based payment programs on practitioner behavior. “If you're a health care professional, you have to do the standard gold stuff to establish your expertise.” — Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (30:46-30:56) Throughout her career, Dr. Kurtzman has pursued unique extramural collaborations to advance her scholarship. From 2018-2019, she was one of only eight mid-career professionals selected to participate in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Health Policy Fellows program. During her year on Capitol Hill and in the Administration, she worked in the Office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, The Honorable Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and the Office of the Surgeon General, Jerome M. Adams, MD, MPH. How to Connect More with Ellen Kurtzman Twitter: https://twitter.com/EllenKurtzman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellentkurtzman/ About Melissa I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (‘96) and Master of Science in Nursing (‘00) as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) School of Nursing (SON). I truly enjoy working with the complex medical needs of older adults. I worked full-time for five years as FNP in geriatric primary care across many long-term care settings (skilled nursing homes, assisted living, home and office visits) then transitioned into academic nursing in 2005, joining the faculty at UNCW SON as a lecturer. I obtained my PhD in Nursing and a post-Master’s Certificate in Nursing Education from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing (’11) and then joined the faculty at Duke University School of Nursing as an Assistant Professor. My family moved to northern Virginia in 2015 and led to me joining the faculty at George Washington University (GW) School of Nursing in 2018 as a (tenured) Associate Professor where I am also the Director of the GW Center for Aging, Health and Humanities.

International impact investor, Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P), says it is looking forward to supporting more Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) that are vital to Ghana’s long-term economic growth. The firm has invested 3 million euros in a leading private healthcare provider, New Crystal Health Services (NCHS), to make quality healthcare accessible and affordable to many in Ghana. I&P’s investment together with a loan of 2.5 million dollars from the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank, will lead to the construction of two new ultra-modern hospitals and a total facelift for 3 other hospitals, all belonging to NCHS, located within the Tema and Ashaiman enclave. In a statement, the Senior Investment Manager at I&P in Ghana, Mr. Baafour Otu-Boateng, expressed delight at the partnership with NCHS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Naudia Bosch is the Activities Coordinator, ASB Advisor, and Leadership teacher at North Creek High School (NCHS). She started out as a Special Education teacher in 2005 and in 2012 she had the opportunity to step into student leadership as a co-Activities Coordinator and ASB Advisor at Inglemoor High School. Once she dipped her toes into student leadership, there was no going back. She taught both ASB and Special Education up until this school year. In just their third year of being opened, NCHS has doubled their ASB student enrollment, and now Naudia teaches full-time ASB and Leadership classes. With her background in special education and also being an Air Force veteran, Naudia instills equity, inclusion, service, and sacrifice in every aspect of her teaching. She works diligently with her students to create an ASB program that has servant-leadership at the core, and strives to show all students, staff, and community members that step onto campus that they are valued, cared for and loved.

This week, we meet up with Kara and Rebecca Kimball of Combine-X Fitness. A 2004 New Canaan High School graduate, Rebecca in August acquired Oxygen Fitness on Pine Street and there installed her own local business, which already had been rapidly growing in New Canaan for two years.

Kevin Münch hatte die Weihnachtsfeiertage damit verbracht, seinen Sieg gegen den zweifachen Weltmeister bei der PDC-Darts-WM zu verarbeiten. Außerdem bereitete er sich auf sein Match gegen den Spanier Toni Alcinas vorbei. Dies reichte jedoch nicht. Münch verlor in fünf Sätzen gegen den Spanier und verpasste die Chance, als erster Deutscher die dritte Runde bei einer WM zu erreichen. Alcinas belohnte sich mit seinem Sieg mit einem Drittrundenmatch gegen Darren Webster, der früher am Tag etwas überraschend Simon Whitlock aus Australien besiegt hatte. Christian Oehmicke aus dem Darts-Talk "Double Trouble" ist wieder bei Moderator Andreas Thies zu Gast und er berichtet auch über die anderen Matches des Abends, unter anderem über die Sensation des Tages, als der Weltranglisten-Zwite Peter Wright völlig überraschend gegen einen wie entfesselt aufspielenden Jamie Lewis verlor. Michael van Gerwen sprach nach seinem Match gegen Gerwyn Price davon, absoluten Müll gespielt zu haben. Er siegte jedoch knapp mit 4-2, allerdings mussten seine Fans arg schwitzen, bis der Sieg fest stand. Eine überzeugende Leistung lieferte Raymond van Barneveld ab, der klar gegen Vincent van der Voort gewann.
