Luiz Rizental, commonly known as “Brazil God,” leads a double life as a trader by day and a poker player at night. His poker journey began in 2017 when he initially played casually with friends. Over time, he ventured into casinos and gradually moved up in stakes. However, the pandemic brought about a significant shift in his poker endeavors as he started participating in private app-based games. This transition culminated in his high-stakes Chicago poker game, an experience he found both significant and fortunate. Furthermore, Rizental can also be spotted in high-stake cash games at Hustler Casino Live and Poker At The Lodge.Here is what you can expect to hear on this weeks show:0:00 Introduction1:25 It's Not Often You 6-Bet 10-9 and Scoop vs Kings3:18 Focusing on That Edge – Poker and Trading7:58 Showing Your Hand -The Difference Between Poker and Casino Games12:20 Running a Big Game in Chicago18:41 The Fine Edge of a Profitable Player22:06 Creating a Unique Atmosphere at a Private Game27:34 Creating a Strategy for Debtors36:40 Does Going Public Encourage Payment?39:34 The Ways Jungle's Been Scammed45:45 The Importance of the Social Environment in Poker53:45 The Political Side of Poker Games53:45 Good Behavior as an Edge1:02:54 You Don't Have to be Fun All the Time1:07:02 Creating the Right Environment when Hosting a GameFollow Luiz "Brazil God" RizentalX (Formerly Twitter): @thebrazilgod Follow "Jungleman" Dan Cates:Instagram:@thedancatesX (Formerly Twitter): @junglemandanJoin Poker Academy today using this link: https://www.preflop.academy/?via=danPoker strategy tipsPoker tournament highlightsPoker player profilesPoker player rankingsPoker coachingPoker mental game

1 in 3 students are chronically absent from school.* One surprising reason? A lack of access to clean clothes. We teamed up with Whirlpool to explore this hidden educational crisis.  For the second episode in our three-part series, our host, psychologist and parent educator Dr. Jazmine McCoy, will cover: how chronic absenteeism affects a student's social-emotional learning experience; how chronic absenteeism impacts their mental health; and the signs you can look for in your own child. In this episode you'll hear from: Dr. Richard Rende, a developmental science psychologist and researcher, and McKenzie Roney, the managing director of national corporate partnerships at Teach For America.

In this reflection, I talk about business, education and therapy to unpack structural violence as a concept and my relationship to it. Supporting themes: Consulting and closing the sale; Solo-preneurship and organizational leadership; Student behaviors as communication; Knowledge as an entitlement vs knowledge as a gift; Power and powerlessness related to therapy; Social needs vs social expectations. This reflection was influenced in part by: 1) Rudolph Alexander, Jr. ("Human Behavior in the Social Environment"); and 2) Beatrice Chestnut, PhD ("The Complete Enneagram"). Typology: INTJ, EnneagramSocial-8 and the Enneagram Social-5.

I'm so excited to have offered another informative live Q and A to help you get answers to your health problems.This month we had Annica Strandberg-Schmidt who is a sugar addiction therapist and author from Sweden.Annica's own battle with sugar addiction came very close to destroying her life and that of her family. After coming to terms with her own addiction and then learning how to navigate the world as a sugar addict, Annica trained with Bitten-Jonsson to become a sugar addiction therapist and is qualified to use the sugar addiction assessment tool. She has gone on to specialise in sugar addiction in children and offers support to parents and families as well as the children themselves.In this informative Q and A, Annica answers your questions about how to identify a child who has sugar addiction and how to manage this in a family and social environment. - How do I know if my child is sensitive to food (a sugar addict)?- Do we diagnose children as sugar addicts/food addicts?- Is it important, or even possible, to get children totally off sugar and flour?- How do I make the changes regarding food? What steps are beneficial?- What is the most challenging in the process of making the changes?- Is changing the food only about the food?Thank you to Annica for sharing her knowledge and providing support.If you enjoyed this podcast, please subscribe, like, and share it with anyone who may find it useful.This helps me attract more great guests to share their wisdom.If you have any guests you would like to hear from or questions answered please let me know.

The saying "You are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with" is on point. One of the obstacles we've both seen with groups of any kind is that while YES, they can support you when you're struggling, there can be turbulence that comes up when you try to GROW. Ultimately, if the people you surround yourself aren't challenging you in some way to move out of your comfort zone, you will stay stuck.

While some people find support from those closest to them, it's not always the case for some other people. Especially in a world where the default is to hit the drive-through and decompress in front of the tv, perusing a healthy lifestyle isn't the norm for most people. So it's only understandable that you may experience some resistance from others in your pursuits, to no fault of their own. Today I share some mindset strategies to help you navigate the bumps in the road on the way to a healthier and happier lifestyle-with or without the support of those around you.

It's the Lack of Thought That Counts: Ethical Decision Making in Dual Relationships Curt and Katie chat about dual relationships. We talk about the types of dual relationships, how often therapists get in trouble for these types of relationships, how to manage dual relationships, and the ethical decision making process to go through to decide whether to engage in a dual relationship. This is a law and ethics continuing education podcourse. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about ethical decision making to navigate dual relationships We take a deeper dive into the complex relationships that we can have with our clients, our supervisors and our supervisees. What are dual relationships? Therapists know a lot about a very specific dual relationship: having sex with your clients, which is not acceptable There are many different types of potential dual relationships (we talk about the definitions of each type) The different hats we may wear with clients and colleagues How do you manage a dual relationship? Open conversations Outside neutral party facilitating the transition in the relationship The assessment of benefit or harm, whether there is coercion Exploring how culture interacts with these types of relationships How often are therapists getting in trouble for dual relationships? About 1/3 of complaints are due to sexual relationships with clients Other types of complaints include conflict of interest, non-sexual, or not described Concerns in rural areas are actually less dual relationships than incompetence Most complaints happen after the relationships have ended Why do therapists engage in harmful dual relationships? “Oftentimes [in predatory dual relationships] there is a conspiratorial element of it – if the client knows (hey, we're stepping across the line) or there is a very manipulative element if the therapist is framing it as this is good for you. And so, once there's a rupture or an end to the relationship and you start talking about, oh, my therapist did this and people are like "what?!?!", I think it's that element of [realizing] I've been wronged by my therapist, and let me go and tell the world that they did this thing.” – Katie Vernoy, LMFT Boundary slips Manipulation, intellectualization Not a thoughtful process Not an examination of bias Therapists going through an intuitive process versus a formal decision-making process What is a strong formal process for ethical decision making? “One of the calls to action, as far as any other ethics professors: really reinforcing the importance of an ethical decision-making model, because that is what the licensing boards and the ethics committees want you to do. If you go through a good model, and even if you end up with slightly the wrong answer, if you've put good thought into it, it at least formalizes the process and gives people an insight into how you're thinking about things.” – Curt Widhalm, LMFT Pope and Vasquez have a 17 Step Process for ethical decision making Deeply examining the question, the impact, and exploring any bias Identifying and understanding relevant laws and ethics Consultation, documentation, and evaluation We walk through a specific dual relationship question: what happens if your client refers a friend and colleague to you? How do you decide whether to take the client or not?   Our Generous Sponsor for this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide: Thrizer Thrizer is a new modern billing platform for therapists that was built on the belief that therapy should be accessible AND clinicians should earn what they are worth. Their platform automatically gets clients reimbursed by their insurance after every session. Just by billing your clients through Thrizer, you can potentially save them hundreds every month, with no extra work on your end. Every time you bill a client through Thrizer, an insurance claim is automatically generated and sent directly to the client's insurance. From there, Thrizer provides concierge support to ensure clients get their reimbursement quickly, directly into their bank account. By eliminating reimbursement by check, confusion around benefits, and obscurity with reimbursement status, they allow your clients to focus on what actually matters rather than worrying about their money. It is very quick to get set up and it works great in completement with EHR systems. Their team is super helpful and responsive, and the founder is actually a long-time therapy client who grew frustrated with his reimbursement times The best part is you don't need to give up your rate. They charge a standard 3% payment processing fee! Thrizer lets you become more accessible while remaining in complete control of your practice. A better experience for your clients during therapy means higher retention. Money won't be the reason they quit on therapy.

Kiz Bangerh (now Manley) is the founder of Hip Hop Heals. Here's how she describes herself on her website: "I lost my older sister, Promila, in a car accident in 2000. After, I suffered a delayed traumatised grief reaction. I was an English Literature graduate and keen writer but experienced a creative block that lasted ten years. During this time, I trained as a secondary English teacher, and enjoyed a fruitful career in museum and gallery education. When my father died in 2010, I was in recovery from a delayed traumatised grief reaction and a breakdown. This is when I discovered therapeutic writing. My writer's block came undone. I already had an MA in Literature and decided to do an MSc in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes to share what I'd learnt about self-healing through creativity. I set up Hip Hop HEALS, a mental health project that tackles mental health inequalities in disadvantaged groups, particularly BAME groups, young people and men. We deliver poetry therapy-style workshops in schools, probation centres, mental health units and homeless hostels. I am also now Director of Story with Lapidus International and Communications Director for its academic research journal, LIRIC, as well as Lived Experience Champion for LENS Network (Lived Experience Network). Outside of work, I run Dubgasm: a social action fundraiser for Brum's foodbank and homeless communities. I still love teaching and tutor Looked After Children in my spare time. Recently, I was selected for Lloyd's Bank's School for Social Entrepreneurs to develop Hip Hop HEALS into a social enterprise business with a grant of £1000. Through this, I've been developing mental health resources using Hip Hop's central tenet: ‘Knowledge of Self'. My goal is to spread knowledge and research about the therapeutic power of Hip Hop culture. My thesis on this topic applied narrative and poetic inquiry to interpret MC interviews (available on request: hiphophealsuk@gmail.com)" Kiz spoke in detail about these experiences. This includes some graphic description of her sister's car crash - so be aware of this particularly towards the later part of the interview (1:00:13-1:01:37). She talks about her PTSD and how her creative process has helped her to integrate traumatic memories.

Happy Friday, Limitless Family! Christmas is right around the corner. I hope you guys are excited. I feel as I grow older, Christmas is not that big of a deal to me anymore. I actually want to give more to others than receive, but that just might be me, but we're going to talk about social environment. One of the biggest things that I have seen in my growth and understanding your circle matters. So, as Danny Chavez said at Apex Live, “You hang out with five losers, you're going to be the sixth.” But what classifies as a loser? I believe there is no classification but if your friends are not speaking about their health, wealth, investing, business ideas, then they aren't going to fit in your circle. Now, this is truly dependent on yourself, your goals and what you want out of life. See, my circle is small and I tend to keep it that way to eliminate any distractions in my life. I could care less about going out on the weekend. I would rather read and learn a new skill that'll help me years down the road. Understanding that you run a business that have clients counting you to show up every day, your 100%, to give all you can. You start to take that time to educate yourself, create better programs, improve the process. There's always a way to become smarter, better, faster, and it's on you to make that decision on what truly matters most. Keep your circle aligned with your vision. And dream big.

In this episode, I'll be having a conversation with a very close friend, Basher Hassan! I'm especially excited to bring him on as to me, he is one of the best people at making social connections and relationships (something I admittedly am not the best at) and how important that is in relation to the other 5 categories. We deep dive into one of the 5 major categories of success in this episode: Relationships. This awesome discussion covers everything from how to connect with people to build a connection, why that's important, the social psychology and reasonings of behaviors, as well as some negotiation tactics, all of which are crucial because every conversation is a negotiation of time at the minimum.Basher is in his final month of his Law degree and has a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. To me, he's best suited to talk about the social environment as well as the negotiations and decision making you need to have as a lawyer affects his every day life. Basher also happens to be one of the most kind hearted and open people I know, and he actually goes into why he's like that and how his passion/purpose gives him the mindset to do that every day.Basher's recommendations:How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carengie:https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3W4IQNAP1JUEF&dchild=1&keywords=how+to+win+friends+and+influence+people&qid=1617618422&sprefix=how+to+win+friends+and+influ%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-1Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher and William Ury:https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Yes-Negotiating-Agreement-Without/dp/0143118757/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=getting+to+yes&qid=1617618430&sr=8-1Don't Eat the Bruises by Keith Mitnik:https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Bruises-Their-Plans-Spoil/dp/1941007406/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=how+to+eat+the+bruises&qid=1617617078&sr=8-2Please leave a like and subscribe and comment your thoughts.

Episode No. 486 features artists Baseera Khan and Amy Franceschini of Futurefarmers. Kahn and Futurefarmers are among the artists included in "Climate Changing: On Artists, Institutions, and the Social Environment" at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio through May 9. The exhibition looks at how artists engage with social issues and how they may shape institutions at a time when both racism and a global pandemic have caused many institutions to re-consider their construction and practices. The exhibition was curated by Lucy I. Zimmerman. "Climate Changing" features nine artworks commissioned by the Wexner, including work Torkwase Dyson discussed on the program last September. Baseera Khan addresses colonial histories, exile, place and displacement, and belonging within the context of capitalism and its impacts. Their work takes many forms, including performance, sculpture and, soon, a TV pilot produced during a recent residency at The Kitchen in New York City. Later this year they will have their first museum solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. Futurefarmers is an ever-changing design studio and collective that supports art projects and research interests. Founded in 1995 by Amy Franceschini, the group has focused on using projects to propose alternatives to present social, political and environmental constructs. Futurefarmers' project "Seed Journey" is included in "Climate Changing." Initiated in 2016, "Seed Journey" is a collaboration between Futurefarmers and local farmers and scholars to return heirloom grain seeds to their native lands. It began with a voyage from Oslo, Norway to Belgium, and expanded in subsequent years to include other seeds, nations and continents. 

In this week's episode, I focus on self-forgiveness from both a psychological and contemplative/meditative perspective: what it means to self-forgive and ways we can practice self-forgiveness. I share some of the psychological research to date on the benefits of self-forgiveness and then draw on this research to discuss some specific strategies for engaging in the practice of self-forgiveness: 1) acknowledgement and accountability; 2) self-understanding through the lens of self-compassion; 3) intra- and interpersonal amends-making and repair; and 4) committed action. I end with a guided meditation focused on self-forgiveness that incorporates many of these strategies.

In today’s episode, I will be talking to my guests about growing up as third culture kid here in the UK. By third culture kid, I mean when your parents are from one land and you were born into another. We will be delving deep into how this impacts your life. For many of us growing up as second generation Asians, I would say that we lead a double life, one within the home environment and a very different one outside of the home. Because of the polarity between the two, the home life often got hidden from the world in order to survive. Having to deny such a huge part of your identity has come at a price for many of us South Asians and so in today’s episode I am joined by two amazing women and dear friends of mine, who are founders of a tech startup which looks to tackle some of these issues head on. Jas and Bally are the brains behind the digital app Rani Circle which aims to provide a safe space in which South Asian women can come together to connect, share and support each other. As a result, combating loneliness and isolation. The sister duo want to create a supportive environment in which women can feel a sense of belonging and be their authentic selves.

Episode No. 464 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Torkwase Dyson and historian Dennis Reed. The New Orleans Museum of Art is showing "Torkwase Dyson: Black Compositional Thought, 15 Paintings for the Plantationocene," a series of works made for the museum. These new paintings were inspired by Dyson's interest in the systems that underlay water delivery, energy infrastructure and by the physical impacts of climate change. Through this and other work, Dyson investigates the legacy of agriculture enabled by slave economies and its relationship to the environmental and infrastructural issues of the present, a relationship known as the “plantationocene.” The exhibition is on view through December 31, 2020. Dyson is an artist-in-residence at the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University. She is preparing work that will be included in "Climate Changing: On Artists, Institutions, and the Social Environment," which is scheduled to debut at the Wexner on January 30, 2021. Dyson's previous solo museum exhibitions have been at the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery at Columbia University, at the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at Cooper Union, at the Colby College Museum of Art, The Drawing Center, Eyebeam, and more. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Smith College Museum of Art, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture, and the Studio Museum in Harlem. On the second segment, historian and curator Dennis Reed discusses the J. Paul Getty Museum's acquisition of 79 pictures made by Japanese-American photographers between 1919 and 1940. Reed's collection and the Getty's acquisition of it is a result of 35 years of work Reed and his students at Los Angeles Valley College did to learn about Japanese-American photographers who made work before the war. Reed and his students built a list of 186 names from photography catalogues at UCLA's Charles E. Young Research Library and painstakingly cold-called the photographers and their relatives in an effort to build knowledge related to an art-making community that was disappeared by the illegal American internment of Japanese-Americans. Reed's collection -- which includes the only surviving work by several of the artists -- has been exhibited in venues such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington. The Getty, which remains closed due to the pandemic, will be exhibiting work from the acquisition at a date to be announced. In addition to the images below, the Getty and Google created this slideshow.

Your Environment could be more important than Your DNA to Your Health Ted Smith PhD., is an associate professor of environmental medicine and deputy director of the Envirome Institute at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. Smith is also the director of the Envirome Institute's Center for Healthy Air, Water and Soil. Theodore R. Smith, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology The human envirome is made up of all the environmental conditions that affect us. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to a person's wellbeing and disease risk. Until now, the environmental effects on health has not been studied. There is no framework to understand our environment as a whole (the envirome) or the interactions between the natural, social, and personal domains. To understand how the environment increases or decreases risk for developing heart disease we must understand the impact the envirome and its specific domains have on health.Read the entire manuscript here. The envirome is made up of everything around us. Natural Environment: everything that is not man-made like the weather, mountains and rivers, and plants and animals. Social Environment: how we organize ourselves into a society and build cities. Personal Environment: the lives we to build for ourselves, where we live, what we eat, and whether we chose to exercise or smoke. The Envirome is made up of three inter-related types of environment – the natural, social, and personal domains of the external environment. Our characteristics come from interactions between our genes and our environments- both our envirome now and past enviromes that shaped our ancestors. The envirome shapes everything about a person, from their mental and physical development to disease risk and life span. Natural Environment The Natural environment includes cycles of night and day, rhythms of the seasons, altitude, latitude, and variations in exposure to sunshine and greenspaces profoundly affect human health and well-being. Social Environment The influence of the natural environment features is deeply transformed by urbanization through the social environment. The social environment includes the built environment, agricultural and industrial activities and pollution as well as culture, economic activities, and social networks. Through exposure to traffic, pollution, and occupational hazards, urbanization limits human health and creates disease risk. Moreover, large social networks cause disease inequities and health disparities by influencing access to healthcare, social cohesion, and socioeconomic status.  Personal Environment Within the social environment, individuals create personal environments through individual lifestyle choices that improve their status or provide protection from threatening natural and social influences. Every personal environment is different, characterized by income, education, and lifestyle choices relating to nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and the use of recreational drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.  Why it Matters The interactions between genetic and environmental factors enable human development and contribute to a person's wellbeing and disease risk. But, until now, how the environmental effects health has received little attention. Evaluation of environmental determinants of disease is limited by the lack of comprehensive omics approaches for integrating multiple environmental exposures. Hence, to understand the effects of the environment as a whole (envirome), it is important to delineate specific domains of the environment and to decipher the relationships between these domains, and how they individually and collectively affect human health. We are guided by a hierarchical model of the structure of the human envirome; defined by 3 consecutively nested domains, consisting of natural, social, and personal environments. Extensive evidence suggests that features of the natural environment such as sunlight, altitude, diurnal rhythms, vegetation, and biodiversity affect cardiovascular health. However, the effects of the natural environment are moderated by the social environment comprised of built environments, agricultural and industrial activities, pollutants and contaminants, as well as culture, economic activities, and social networks that affect health by influencing access to healthcare, social cohesion, and socioeconomic status. From resources available within society, individuals create personal environments, characterized by private income, wealth and education, and populated by behavioral and lifestyle choices relating to nutrition, physical activity, sleep, the use of recreational drugs, and smoking. An understanding of the interactions between different domains of the envirome and their integrated effects on cardiovascular health could lead to the development of new prevention strategies and deeper insights into etiologic processes that contribute to cardiovascular disease risk and susceptibility. Background and Context A conducive environment is essential for human health and well-being. It enables and orchestrates human development and it exerts a profound influence on human fitness and disease risk. But the human environment is complex; it includes not only the physical elements of geography and ecology, but also large social networks fashioned by unique combinations of history and culture. These components of the environment conform to a discernable structure that links discrete elements of the environment together. These features and the structure of environmental elements exert their influence on humans via their many interactive domains. Of these, nature is the most primordial domain of the human environment. Ecological features such as the cycles of night and day, the rhythms of the seasons, the gradations in altitude and latitude, and the variations in exposure to sunshine and greenspaces profoundly affect human health and well-being. In advanced human societies, the influence of these natural features is deeply transformed by urbanization. With its attendant exposures to traffic, pollution, and occupational hazards, urbanization limits human health and imposes disease risk. Moreover, by imparting variable socioeconomic status and by creating large social networks, these societies generate disease inequities and health disparities. Within these social networks; however, humans create unique personal environments populated by individual lifestyle choices to shield themselves from adverse social and natural influences or to enhance their positive impact. Hence, to understand, assess, and ameliorate the effects of the environment on health, it is critical not only to evaluate the impact of natural, social and personal domains of the environment, but to assess how these domains interact with each other and how they individually and collectively bear upon human health. Such integrative effects of the environment have not been evaluated before. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Your Environment could be more important than Your DNA to Your Health Ted Smith PhD., is an associate professor of environmental medicine and deputy director of the Envirome Institute at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. Smith is also the director of the Envirome Institute's Center for Healthy Air, Water and Soil. Theodore R. Smith, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology The human envirome is made up of all the environmental conditions that affect us. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to a person’s wellbeing and disease risk. Until now, the environmental effects on health has not been studied. There is no framework to understand our environment as a whole (the envirome) or the interactions between the natural, social, and personal domains. To understand how the environment increases or decreases risk for developing heart disease we must understand the impact the envirome and its specific domains have on health.Read the entire manuscript here. The envirome is made up of everything around us. Natural Environment: everything that is not man-made like the weather, mountains and rivers, and plants and animals. Social Environment: how we organize ourselves into a society and build cities. Personal Environment: the lives we to build for ourselves, where we live, what we eat, and whether we chose to exercise or smoke. The Envirome is made up of three inter-related types of environment – the natural, social, and personal domains of the external environment. Our characteristics come from interactions between our genes and our environments- both our envirome now and past enviromes that shaped our ancestors. The envirome shapes everything about a person, from their mental and physical development to disease risk and life span. Natural Environment The Natural environment includes cycles of night and day, rhythms of the seasons, altitude, latitude, and variations in exposure to sunshine and greenspaces profoundly affect human health and well-being. Social Environment The influence of the natural environment features is deeply transformed by urbanization through the social environment. The social environment includes the built environment, agricultural and industrial activities and pollution as well as culture, economic activities, and social networks. Through exposure to traffic, pollution, and occupational hazards, urbanization limits human health and creates disease risk. Moreover, large social networks cause disease inequities and health disparities by influencing access to healthcare, social cohesion, and socioeconomic status.  Personal Environment Within the social environment, individuals create personal environments through individual lifestyle choices that improve their status or provide protection from threatening natural and social influences. Every personal environment is different, characterized by income, education, and lifestyle choices relating to nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and the use of recreational drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.  Why it Matters The interactions between genetic and environmental factors enable human development and contribute to a person's wellbeing and disease risk. But, until now, how the environmental effects health has received little attention. Evaluation of environmental determinants of disease is limited by the lack of comprehensive omics approaches for integrating multiple environmental exposures. Hence, to understand the effects of the environment as a whole (envirome), it is important to delineate specific domains of the environment and to decipher the relationships between these domains, and how they individually and collectively affect human health. We are guided by a hierarchical model of the structure of the human envirome; defined by 3 consecutively nested domains, consisting of natural, social, and personal environments. Extensive evidence suggests that features of the natural environment such as sunlight, altitude, diurnal rhythms, vegetation, and biodiversity affect cardiovascular health. However, the effects of the natural environment are moderated by the social environment comprised of built environments, agricultural and industrial activities, pollutants and contaminants, as well as culture, economic activities, and social networks that affect health by influencing access to healthcare, social cohesion, and socioeconomic status. From resources available within society, individuals create personal environments, characterized by private income, wealth and education, and populated by behavioral and lifestyle choices relating to nutrition, physical activity, sleep, the use of recreational drugs, and smoking. An understanding of the interactions between different domains of the envirome and their integrated effects on cardiovascular health could lead to the development of new prevention strategies and deeper insights into etiologic processes that contribute to cardiovascular disease risk and susceptibility.

Abstract: Mutations in the X-linked cell adhesion protein PCDH19 lead to seizures, cognitive impairment and other behavioral comorbidities when present in a mosaic pattern. Neither the molecular mechanisms underpinning this disorder, nor the function of PCDH19 itself are well understood. By combining RNA in situ hybridization with immunohistochemistry and analyzing single cell RNAseq datasets, we provide a first account of the subtypes of neurons expressing Pcdh19/PCDH19, both in the mouse and the human cortex. Our quantitative analysis of the Pcdh19 mutant mouse reveals subtle changes in cortical layer composition, with no major alterations of the main axonal tracts. However, Pcdh19 mutant animals, particularly females, display preweaning behavioral changes, including reduced anxiety and increased exploratory behavior. Our experiments also reveal an effect of the social environment on the behavior of wild-type littermates of Pcdh19 mutant mice when compared with wild-type animals not housed with mutants. This is a second case of a mutated X-linked gene encoding a membrane protein expressed in the developing cortex impacting the behavior of co-housed wild-type littermates.

Welcome to Red Pill University. Class is in session. This show is all about improving your social skills to become the most attractive version of yourself possible. We'll be discussing what makes you attractive to women, as well as key red pill concepts that shape a successful male sexual strategy. The Sexual Marketplace (SMP), or Sexual Economy, is well researched going as far back to 1976 when Gary Becker first compared sexual dynamics to economics. Roy Baumeister picked up the torch and has done some outstanding research on it over the years since. SMP can be thought of as what we've come to describe as the dating market in economic terms whereby men seek to acquire sex from women (who are the sellers) and an exchange for resources takes place in the form of time, monetary gifts, improved status (by association), attention, validation, procreation, and more.

This episode will begin to get into social isolation, with structural and psychological origins, and the effects on the body and mind. This will be a multi-part series since there's just too much loneliness to fit into one episode and because Aubrey likes to go off on tangents. In this first part a couple questions are asked, so that we may begin to think about how loneliness or less social contact could, potentially, influence our health and our social structures due to covid-19. This first segment looks at some of the previously existing health effects of loneliness (pre-covid) and the theories as to why loneliness is tied to health.

As a professional salesperson, did you even realize that there is a social environment in business in sales? If you did, you were probably one of the more successful salespeople in your organization. If you didn't, you probably aren't. That is one of the takeaways from this conversation with Christian Madsbjerg, author of the new book, “Sensemaking.” Anthony believes his book is the must-read book of 2018 for every business person. It's a treatise on the intersection of AI and culture and makes a case for how AI must be made to enhance and serve human culture in the end. This is a fascinating conversation for salespeople who want to understand how to maximize the human side of sales. Christian Madsbjerg on The Social Environment of Business and #Sales - Episode 111 of #InTheArena with @IannarinoClick To Tweet Is a good sale the optimized one or the convincing one? AI is being introduced into the sales profession at an unprecedented pace. The optimization of sales cycles and sequences through AI is at the forefront the minds of many who are charged with increasing the bottom line through product and service sales. In this conversation, Christian asks if the best sale is the convincing one or the one that is best optimized? In his thinking, our infatuation with refining processes and building out great systems has us thinking a bit askew. Find out why a good sale is the convincing one and why only human beings can do the kind of convincing needed to put the right product in the hands of the person who truly needs it. Computers don’t care - humans do Anthony has long believed and said that caring is the currency of success in business and in sales. In the end, the person who cares more is the one who will be most trusted and therefore most successful. Christian Madsbjerg makes an intriguing case for a stronger understanding of and reliance on human intuition, cultural understanding, and social appropriateness as tools that can fuel long-term success in sales relationships. It's too much to contain in a short paragraph like this so you need to make sure that you listen to this conversation to hear Christian’s masterful way of describing it. Computers don’t care - #humans do. It’s vital to maintain that objective understanding in business - especially in #sales. Hear Christian Madsbjerg explain on this episode of #InTheArena with @IannarinoClick To Tweet There is a third kind of knowledge that all sales professionals need The first type of knowledge we all possess is subjective or preferential. Some examples are that you may feel that one type of sound is too loud or a certain type of food is too spicy. Then there’s the kind of knowledge that we can measure. But Christian points out that there’s a third kind of knowledge - one he calls an “intersubjective” kind. It’s social or cultural in nature. Examples: We know how far to stand from each other at a party. We know how loudly we should speak. This is another type of knowledge that can’t be measured, but it’s a kind that is critical in the business world. If you only rely on data sets to tell you about your customers, you make big mistakes because you’re not relying enough on your innate human ability to understand others and what that understanding tells you about their needs. Sound helpful for a sales professional? You bet it is. Listen to hear more, on this episode. What is the appropriate use of personal information in the digital age? With the recent outrage over data breaches and inappropriate use of personal data, as well as the advent of the GDPR in the European Union, many questions are being asked about not only the security and privacy of personal data but also its proper use. Christian believes that those who lead companies today need to look beyond the practical leverage they can gain through data sets and begin to ask what benefit their use of data will have to real people. How will the end result for people be BETTER if personal data is used in a par...

Show Notes for Podcast Five of Sex & Why Host: Jeannette Wolfe Topic: Stress Response This Podcast focuses on the basics of the acute human stress response. Please see Dr Morgenstern's excellent write up: Performance Under Pressure Review: https://first10em.com/2017/03/13/performance-under-pressure/ Components of stress response Trigger Speed of activation Magnitude of response Time to return to baseline Things that affect cortisol response time of day health genetics personality early pre-natal/childhood stressors- epigenetics can change DNA expression current stressors smoking if female- where you are in cycle or use of OCP interaction with testosterone Sensation of psychological stress is not always associated with physiological stress (i.e. cortisol stress response) Conversely in psychological studies in which subjects get exogenous steroids (i.e take a hydrocortisone pill) although there are often associated behavioral changes from the steroids participants rarely feel anxious. Somewhat ironic that women report more psychological stress but that men die on average 7 years earlier Things that reliably trigger physiological stress:  Demands >>> Resources Unpredictability Uncontrollability Novelty Learning on stress is U shaped curve A little stress helps things stick more As stress increases harder to draw  Some suggested sex differences: In general women have higher baseline HR than men (despite this, women are believed to have a higher parasympathetic baseline tone) Triggers: Men may be more vulnerable to stressors that trigger dominancy/hierarchy Women may be more vulnerable to stressors that trigger social isolation Free Cortisol is the active form and men appear to have higher free cortisol levels Women may be more sensitive to acth- similar cortisol level with less trigger. Men more likely to respond to threat of hierarchy, women social exclusion Stress resiliency: Time to respond, magnitude of response time until return to baseline To what, how quickly, how much, how long.  Studies discussed in podcast Alexander, G.

Of opioid addiction requires access to broader treatment options.

This is a broadcast of a Panel Session called Meeting the needs of male victims of domestic and family violence, presented at the Australian Institute of Criminology's Meeting the needs of victims of crime conference held in Sydney on 19 May 2011. Part 2 of the Panel Session features Toni McLean, counsellor with the Think Twice! Program, presenting a paper called Are men really victims of intimate partner violence? Unlike most other victims of crime, male victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) are yet to be truly recognised by the judicial system or the larger community. There are a number of beliefs about male victims of IPV, such as that men are rarely genuine victims; if they are, they must have done something to deserve it; or they aren’t affected as much as women are by partner violence; and it is easier for them to leave their relationships. These are all myths. This paper will: present evidence which shows that victimisation of husbands by wives has been documented for hundreds of years; present current statistics on the prevalence and nature of partner violence against men; explain how studies have presented contradictory and confusing pictures of partner violence perpetration; explore how male victimisation has not been adequately researched, with implications for the judicial system, the media, and government and community campaigns; offer some reasons as to why this has been the case.  The acknowledgement of male victims has ramifications for government policy, the judicial system, and the provision of health and community services, as well as benefits for the community. We need a lot more information from and about male victims of partner violence in order to be able to meet their needs. Academics, clinicians and service providers need to be open to the possibility that a man who claims he is a victim of partner violence actually is.  Listen now (MP3) |  Download PowerPoint |  Watch presentation Elizabeth Celi: Now Toni has worked in her past and recently as a counsellor with high-conflict relationships and currently doing a PhD in the Department of Psychology at the University of Western Sydney having a look at counsellor perceptions of intimate partner violence. So without further ado Toni will give you a bit more detail on that, so I'll hand you over to her. Please welcome her. Toni McLean: Thank you Elizabeth. That was a lovely introduction. I feel as though there is almost nothing more for the rest of us to say. And good afternoon everyone. Thank you for coming along to our presentation. Are men really victims of partner violence? I've certainly heard that question asked before. I'm pleased to be able to address that question today. I hope I'll be able to persuade any skeptics here, that there are indeed men who are victims of partner violence, that there are enough of them to justify providing services for them and for their children. There are a number of reasons why we should do that and those reasons aren’t just limited to the male victims themselves. For those of you who don’t need to be convinced then I hope that my colleagues and I will add to your knowledge and understanding of male victims today. My presentation will be focused on heterosexual victims of partner violence in particular and my colleagues will talk to you in turn on the broader issue of male victims of family violence in general and on the particular situation for gay men. Before I go any further I want to let you know that some of the slides I'm presenting here are a little different from the ones that I submitted to the AIC to go up on their website. If for any reason I'm not able to get it up there please contact me directly for a copy of the presentation if you’d like to have it. Throughout this presentation I'll be trying to be consistent with my terminology. Over the years domestic violence has become synonymous with male-perpetrated partner violence, yet, that is not the case as we know, so I prefer to use the term ‘intimate partner violence’ or shortening it to ‘partner violence’ because the word ‘domestic’ refers to all sorts of domestic relationships, not just to the intimate partner relationship and it shouldn’t be gender specific, so I will use partner violence and that will be referring to violence perpetrated by either men or women in an intimate relationship in the family. Absolutely essential to what I have to say is my own professional journey through this field and how I came to be speaking here. Much like Elizabeth, I had no idea. I had the traditional education in partner violence or what was called ‘domestic violence’ and that obviously was the one that said men were perpetrators, women were victims, that if men were victims there was something that they had done to deserve it, and that if women were perpetrators then there was a good reason for it – that they had been victimised themselves, that it was to prevent a preemptive strike that they were expecting in the future. And probably many of you here had that same kind of education. And as you can see, looking at my background here, the emphasis has been on my working with male perpetrators and female victims. That is how I started out. That is what I saw as being a helpful thing to do. So what happened? How come I ‘changed sides’ in a sense? Well what happened was the more that I worked in that area, the more that I worked with victims, with offenders, with couples, the more I realised that that ‘male perpetrator, female victim’ paradigm was only one snapshot in the collage that is intimate partner violence and that it has many different faces and that very often what I observed simply did not gel with this explanation. So I had no basis with which to help people. While it seemed to be true enough some of the time in many more cases the real picture was much more complex and contradictory. Sometimes it was a case of co-perpetration and co-victimisation. Sometimes even men were victims of controlling and coercive partners, female partners who were willing to use violence to maintain their position. So eventually I had to acknowledge that there was no way around it. Some men are indeed genuine victims of domestic violence or partner violence and many of these men have children too. I found this something of a challenge to deal with, either isolated in private practice and being fearful of making a mistake or being in an NGO where my colleagues were entrenched in the traditional paradigm. I had my own fear of getting it wrong, of falsely identifying a perpetrator as the victim. I was warned against approaching the ‘Angry Dads’ movement because they would brainwash me. I really needed to stay on track and on song with what I was doing. One of those representatives I was warned against is here today and I think you’ll find that there is probably nothing terribly scary about him when you hear him speaking. The children though were the innocent, really innocent victims of this paradigm. Every single one of those children who is dismissed because their father is dismissed could go on to have much more serious consequences in the future. My objectives today are to hopefully put it beyond doubt for all of you that there are male victims of partner violence and in fact, there always have been male victims of partner violence. It is nothing new. They and their children are present in sufficient numbers to justify services for them. Children suffer just as much as when their mothers are the victims and in fact, recent research shows that the consequences could even be worse for the children of male victims of domestic violence. I also want to establish that men are not only assaulted in self defence or in retaliation for their own behaviour. Their female partners are violent for a whole range of reasons just as men are and that men do suffer a range of physical and psychological injuries that can be serious. This presentation will show evidence of the victimisation of husbands by wives for hundreds of years. This is no backlash. The existence of male victims has been demonstrated in legal and literary works for centuries. This presentation will point out the massive variability in partner violence statistics, explain why this is the case, why and how contradictory and confusing pictures of partner victimisation have arisen, will consider why male victims have been somewhat invisible for the past 40 years because they certainly weren’t invisible in the past in centuries gone by. I’ll leave it to my male colleagues on the panel to discuss the needs of the male victims themselves. When someone raises the subject of male victims one of the first things you might hear is that it’s just a backlash against the feminist movement or against women or that men are feeling sorry for themselves or that it’s just a bunch of irate ex-husbands whinging because they’re angry with their ex-wives, but this extract you see here is from a poem that is one of many that’s littered throughout English and European literary history regarding the violence of a woman towards her husband, and as you see it dates back to the 16th century. It’s not only in popular literature that women’s violence has been recorded. The documentation of the victimisation of husbands is found back to at least the 13th century in a variety of legal, parish and community records as well as in diaries, letters and in artworks. It is a myth that the emergence of male victims in the late 20th century is just a backlash. In fact, as Elizabeth said it seems that men are in the position now that women victims were in 40 years ago. If you can see that image clearly or clearly enough it’s a 13th century stone carving from an English church. It shows a man down on the ground being held down by his hair while his wife swings a cheese-skimming ladle in his direction. The modern day equivalent is not rare as some of the references I've included at the end based on hospital records will attest. Here is a frieze from Montacute House in Somerset. The particular treatment for men who allowed themselves to be abused or beaten by their wives was specifically designed to cause them a high degree of shame by making them objects of ridicule and derision. The wife was sometimes, though not always ridiculed along with her husband. Although today we would not agree with the reason for the ridicule, which was that the man was not man enough to remain in charge in his own household, nonetheless, it does demonstrate that in fact, male domination in the family home has not always been a given and some women do dominate and control their husbands and they may use violence to do that. When a man was exposed as having had a beating or his wife found to be having an affair the village people would gather outside the house of the couple making raucous music using pots and pans and the like. Then they would drag the man out and force him to ride through the village sitting backwards on a donkey or being carried on a long pole and forced to go through the village while they followed him making this awful din. Sometimes his wife would be forced to ride back-to-back with him. This practice was called ‘riding skimmington’ or ‘riding the stain’ or ‘charivari’, the term varying with the location. It was designed to shame those couples who breached the social or moral mores of the day, in particular, those related to spousal relationships such as abuse and adultery. The term ‘skimmington’ is derived from the name for the cheese skimming ladle that we saw in the previous slide. The first half of this frieze depicts a man holding a baby with his wife hitting him on the head with her shoe. The second half shows him being paraded through the town on a long pole and this was what was called ‘riding the skimmington.’ Throughout the history of Britain, Mainland Europe, the early days of white colonisation of the United States and in Scandinavia there is extensive evidence of this practice occurring right up until the late 19thcentury. Although it occurred in the context of the husbands being ridiculed because they were not able to maintain their rightful position as the head of the household, a belief which I suspect few of us would have the courage to condone today, nonetheless, what these references show is that this behaviour was common enough in past centuries. Here are just a few examples of the many records that have been found that make reference to women’s use of violence against their partners. There are court records from the early 1600s describing a skimmington. There are records from prior to the English Civil War showing anxiety over the rising violence in women, and I was struck by the similarity with the headlines we’re seeing these days of rising violence in our young women in this country. There was legislation in the new colony of Massachusetts protecting both wives and husbands from domestic abuse. In fact, there is one quote here, “So turbulent and wild both in words and actions as he could not live with her, but in danger of his life and limb.” Evidence of restraining orders against wives being issued at the late 19th century in England. There are numerous literary examples as well recounting abuse by wives and riding the skimmington for husbands. Jonathan Swift, Oliver Twist, Sir Walter Scott, Ben Johnson, Samuel Pepys, Thomas Hardy all referring to these things. And a comment that Charles Dickens gave to Mr. Bumble in Oliver Twist when told it was his duty to control his wife he said, “The law is an ass. The law is a bachelor,” obviously implying that the law didn’t understand what relationships were like or at least what Mr. Bumble’s relationship was like. Here we have a painting from the late 16th century I think – Dawes’ “The Henpecked Husband” also riding the skimmington and wives beating him. The reason that this happened, he walked into his bedroom and found his wife in bed with her lover. Now there is a Dr. Malcolm George in the UK who gives an excellent analysis on the social processes of denial, derision and trivialisation, which are the community’s ways of avoiding the challenge of accepting the existence of men as victims of women’s violence. This is something which is not consistent with our entrenched stereotypes of strong men and gentle women and I've included some of his work in the bibliography at the end of this presentation. So from derision to denial I think we can see that there is ample evidence over seven centuries or more which speaks against the gradual emergence of the male partner violence victim as simply the backlash against the focus on women. So statistics, how many male victims are there? How many female victims are there? This can provide ammunition to start a world war. It has generated aggression and vitriol and all sorts of threats in the academic community for 40 years or more, so I decided today I'm not going to venture into that territory. It can become a significant distraction which takes us away from the pressing needs of the victims themselves. We can all use statistics to prove the points that we want to prove. However, I do have a recollection of a study in Norway that I think was nearly 40 years ago which claimed to show a correlation between the stork population and the human birth rate. We’ll say I think the study was – the so-called ‘study’ was done to prove a point about statistics. That study showed that as the stork population increased in the previous year, so did the birthrate. Now I suspect there is a false attribution of cause and effect there or at least I hope so. What I have done though is just to show three examples of statistics that you may find on domestic violence. The first in Santa Barbara in California taken from police records in 1983, so these are all cases where people have been found guilty of assaults in domestic violence related charges. In that study it showed 94% of the perpetrators were men and 6% were women. I've got a study done more recently from New Zealand in 2002, which is a community study, a population study of young adults, which shows 39% of the perpetrators were male and 61% were female. And then just to come down the middle, a recently released study by Professor Halford from Brisbane on Australian newlywed couples, which shows approximately equal rates of partner violence. So quoting statistics at ten paces isn’t really the way for us to proceed from here. I hope what this discrepancy will do is raise your curiosity about why there is such a discrepancy and what we can do about it. There are very good reasons why we do have such a range of discrepancies. Michael Johnson, respected researcher in the United States is one of the first to shed some light on the past discrepancy in these statistics. He identified that different studies used different sample populations. They asked very different questions of their participants and they used different language, so different studies came up with vastly different results. Up until this time researchers and others had effectively been comparing apples and oranges or rather, they had been lumping apples and oranges together in the same bowl as though they were the same fruit. The following slides will look at the impact of using different populations on the results. Beginning at the big end of town, if we look at United Nations surveys, obviously they’re drawn from a wide range of nations. They often include developing nations and they often include war-torn nations. When we do this it’s hard to separate out what is actually partner violence from civil violence and what are the causes. There is no way of determining the impact of the external environment on these figures. These figures also have little to do with countries like Australia, so they don’t have much validity here. We also have national crime agency surveys. These tend to draw their figures from police records, court records, corrective services or else records from women’s shelters. These naturally focus on the more serious end of the spectrum and they tend to distort figures for partner violence as well. Also as women were rarely arrested for partner violence until the last 10 years or so and even now it’s still quite a minority their violence simply didn’t appear in these records. We can look at national victimisation surveys, which tend to be phone surveys that are done every few years. They generally tend to be set in the context of exploring women’s violence [victimisation] and they interview a number of men as well, but the framework is already set that it is about women’s violence [victimisation]. Men aren’t primed to think of their own experience of victimisation. Studies have shown if the violence is referred to as a ‘crime’ then women are less likely to report their own use of violence. Men are also genuinely unlikely to see it as violence unless they’ve actually been seriously injured by it and that brings us to the fourth kind of study, which does give us much more reliable figures for the picture that is in the community today, so we can look at family conflict surveys and community or population studies. These tend to be couched within a relationship conflict framework, though they investigate the same behaviours that the other surveys investigate. So they investigate criminal behaviours, but they position it in a different environment. Women are more likely to disclose their use of violence in this situation when it’s not referred to as a criminal survey and men are also more likely to disclose their own experience of violence when it is seen as a relationship issue and not a crime. So what kinds of injuries do men receive? Men receive injuries resulting from being hit by all sorts of blunt instruments, by having objects thrown at them – glasses, saucepans, knives, whatever, by being struck with a vehicle, by being bitten, by the use of an actual weapon – a knife is a very common one, by scalding by boiling water or hot food. So all of the injuries that these can cause are the ones that men tend to suffer. That’s not to say that women don’t suffer these too, but we are here talking about male victims. And why do women assault their partners? Well actually for much the same reasons as men do. For a need for control in some cases. It may be trying to match their partner in control or it may be to be the one in charge. Expression of negative emotions, frustrated, angry, hurt, they’re jealous. It may be in self defence, just as it may be for men. And it may be to seem tough because they don’t want to seem weak with their partner. Which women are likely to be most violent? Interestingly the women who are likely to be most violent are those who did not report self defence, so they are the primary aggressors in the relationship. They are the partner violence perpetrators, or for the women who are genuine victims and are lashing out with violent resistance. How is it that there is so little research on male victims? Well as Elizabeth has alluded to, when this phenomenon surfaced in that era of civil rights in the late 60s the initial focus was on women victims and it’s difficult to maintain a focus on women victims and men victims at the same time. And as female partner violence ‘victim’ predominately implies ‘violent husband’ then it’s hard to hold the concept of a man as being a violent husband and a victimised male at the same time. Women victims were also not asked about their own use of violence. If they had been then in some cases at least it would have been seen that they were actually aggressors in their relationships. Erin Pizzey from the UK found this out. She was a champion of the cause of women victims of domestic violence, but over time she realised that it wasn’t as simple as that. If men were not asked about their experience of victimisation, nobody is going to know about it and they weren’t asked. And because male victimisation was hidden it didn’t stimulate further research. It just remained more invisible. There have been effective public campaigns raised about the awareness of female victimisation and this has unwittingly served to keep male victimisation hidden as well. And astoundingly, in the US and perhaps in Canada as well and who knows in other countries, research into male victimisation has sometimes been actively discouraged by funding bodies. You can refer to Murray Strauss’ references. He documents that very well as I think Dr. Donald Dutton does too. There has been an understandable fear of having to share funding with women’s services or between women’s and men’s services. However, this doesn’t help the child victims. It’s an example of faulty thinking and doesn’t provide a good solution. And the difficulty is if we acknowledge male victims we also have to acknowledge and work out how to deal with female offenders. And if we need more reasons why they’re invisible, the media focus on sensational crimes by men against women stacks the odds somewhat. It sells papers and it attracts internet readers. We have to deal with our stereotypes. The belief that because men are bigger and do use violence perhaps more readily in some situations, that they will automatically want to assault women as well. And we make the assumption that women don’t assault men because the men are bigger. Well I can guarantee you from my own work that is not the case. There is a tendency to ridicule male victims of women’s assaults. We have trouble coming to grips with that – facing that challenge. It’s been politically incorrect to acknowledge male victims of female perpetrated violence and that may lead to many of us being a bit worried about discussing it in public. And certainly something I've had to deal with is the fear of getting it wrong in my work: what if I make a mistake? What if he is a really convincing perpetrator? But I realised a solution to that was not ignoring the problem, it was skilling myself up, becoming more knowledgeable and more proficient and more able to work through this. The implications of ignoring male victims of female perpetrated violence: physical and psychological impact on the men who are victimised, and my colleagues will talk more about that. There is a cost to the community. There is an impact on the children. Service providers, if they want to respond don’t know how to. The male victims themselves understandably build resentment and they can become perpetrators if they weren’t before. It makes it more difficult for women using abusive behaviour to seek help if we won’t acknowledge it. Women who use violence for whatever reason are more likely to suffer significant injury in retaliation from their male partners. If for no other reason, that’s a reason to address the problem. Services don’t know how to respond to female offenders and women are at risk of further violence in future relationships. So: beyond the paradigm. Meeting the needs of victims of crime first requires we recognise their existence and understand their experience. For male victims we have to move beyond the paradigm that has prevailed for 40 years and which has served to minimise or deny their existence, thus compromising our ability to respond to them. The fact that there are some people who are unwilling to accept that the assault of men by women does occur, stems from our deeply held stereotypes about men and women. Don’t take my word for all of this. There are male victims. There are enough of them. Men aren’t only assaulted in self defence and they do suffer from it. There is an extensive bibliography following this presentation if you’d like to see it. Elizabeth Celi: Thank you very much Toni. You certainly highlighted some of the research paradigms we need to consider and the up skilling that us as professionals in our respective fields may need to consider. General References Hamel, J.

Have you ever wondered if there was a way for your child to have another alternative from the main stream schools and still have a social environment and a plethora of learning opportunities without having to home educate? Tune into this interview with Mimsy Sadofsky who has her B.A. in English Literature and was one of the group that founded Sudbury Valley School in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1968. She has been deeply involved in the establishment of several dozen other schools throughout the world based on a similar educational philosophy. She has served in a wide variety of capacities at the school -- teaching algebra, bookkeeping, management, writing, English literature, French, cooking; helping produce plays; occupying administrative positions in admissions, as registrar, and bookkeeping; and overseeing the school's public relations program. She has spoken extensively in public forums about education, has written several articles, and is co-author of the books Legacy of Trust, Kingdom of Childhood, Starting a Sudbury School, and The Pursuit of Happiness, published by Sudbury Valley School Press. -- Becky Wheelock who has a Masters degree in Applied Mathamatics and has been teaching Math at local colleges and universities for nine years. She has taught in charter schools and has also worked with students with disabilities for a couple of years. She has three kids 7, 9, and 16 years old. She is a founder with the Sudbury School Start-Up in San Diego which is planning to open in 2011. So Becky has been dowsed in the school system for many years and has known that there has to be another way. Kathleen Pleasants, a home educating mother, Mimsy who had her children attend the Sudbury School and Becky will cover many topics on education alternatives, pros & cons.
