Addiction Isnt Stupid Why Stigmas Arent The Cure

Addiction Isn't 'Stupid' Why Stigmas Aren't The Cure Photos Via News.com.au and Google.com Homeless people are lazy. Online daters are desperate. Depression isnt a real disease. Rape victims deserved it. Drug addicts are stupid. Whether or not you agree with any of the following social stigmas above, there are many people in this world who do and, sadly, those people tend to speak the loudest. Following the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, there has been a mass amount of disgusting responses to the drug-induced tragedy than simply acknowledging his passing or the unfortunate reality of drug addiction and overdose. In 2010 there was an estimated 22.6 million Americans over the age of 12 that were current or former illicit drug users within the last month of when the survey was given, equating to about 8.9 percent of the population. After receiving much backlash on Twitter and other social networking platforms upon the actors death, the nation still feels the need to justify death and why people get what they deserve. If Health is much more than  not being able to find something wrong but how its about what people feel as stated by Dartmouth professor Dr. H. Gilbert Welch, then why do we still treat drug addicts like they are sinners in the hands of an angry God and not as suffers of an actual psychological disease? Photo Via Jezebel.com Well, there may be two reasons for that: 1. Humans unintentionally regress back to common negative examples of drug addictions they have seen or heard of before, also known as blindly giving into the availability heuristic. 2. Humans constantly pit against one another in terms of who has it the hardest. Using this reasoning, a human isnt allowed to feel sad or depressed if someone else has it worse than them (you have an anxiety disorder? Well guess what, there are starving children in Africa, so youre not allowed to feel bad about your crippling anxiety disorder). Photo Via Dailymail.co.uk As a culture, we are conditioned to see genocide, rape and random murders as sad, because they most certainly are. What some people fail to recognize is that the meaning of sad can be extended to accommodate other issues that may be stigmatized to be not considered sad, such as alcoholism, failing out of school, poverty, and in this particular instance, drug addiction. To justify ones idea that something is not sad, one may use the relative privation fallacy, a fallacy that attempts to make a scenario better or worse by comparing it to the best or worst case scenario. Using this justification, nothing can ever be sad if its pinned up against the Holocaust or brain cancer. Photo Via Twitter.com The reason this current controversy is, dare I say, a somewhat positive example, is because it illuminates the reality of drug addiction and aids in spreading awareness of addiction via the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. This in turn may promote others to recognize their own condition or the condition of anothers and people may consequently seek help. Many disapprove of publicizing celebrity mental illness and addiction because they believe it glamorizes their troubled and harmful lifestyles, but theres too much evidence backing up the increase of people seeking help after Demi Lovato spoke about bipolar disorder  and Magic Johnson announced he tested positive for HIV.  The key idea to opening up about these unspoken aspects of human health is to, in return, open up the minds of others to recognize the normalcy of these conditions and how seeking psychological and psychiatric help is not something to be ashamed of. If the average person takes a step back  to recognize Philip  Seymour Hoffman, or any celebrity for that matter, as a human being of flesh and blood and not a cardboard cutout at your local Regal cinema, the realization that addiction is a serious physical and psychological issue may become a deeper knife wound rather than a senseless or stupid paper cut.

January 28th is Data Privacy Day Choose Good Passwords and Hardware Wallets, Avoid Sensitive Posts

January 28th is Data Privacy Day Choose Good Passwords and Hardware Wallets, Avoid Sensitive Posts Today, January 28th is data privacy day. This day should remind us to protect our privacy, control our digital footprint and even to keep our money safe. How do we do that? For starters, Choose Good Passwords A good password  consists  of at least three types of characters: lowercase letters [a-z], uppercase letters [A-Z]and number [0-9]. They are also at least 8 characters long. Visit passwordsgenerator.net to generate such a password, for example: Hf9lyIwury6WX4Mv Never pick a password from this list: 12345612345678passwordqwertyabc123111111iloveyouadobe123123123adminphotoshoppassword1trustno1000000 Social Media Understand that all of your posts, pictures and comments on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter is stored forever. Practically, advertisers and the government have access to this information, create profiles about you. They then can better target ads or classify you as potential security threat. Be aware of this and constrain your digital footprint to nonsensitive areas. Keep Money Safe If you do online backing, good passwords are crucial. Better yet, use two-factor authentication (2FA). Essentially, whenever you log into your backing account, a code is sent to an authenticator app on your phone. You must read this code and enter when logging. Should you be fortunate enough to own crypto currencies such as bitcoin, your private keys are of utmost importance. If you lose them, or they are stolen, then no one can help. Therefore, my recommendation is: Hardware Wallets: Use hardware wallets to keep your private keys safe. A hardware wallet is a flash drive like device, designed specifically for storing your bitcoins. The Nano Ledger or  Trezor  brands are good choices.   Rememberbetter safe than sorry.

What You Need to Know About an IMFS Chemistry Organic Chemistry Tutor

What You Need to Know About an IMFS Chemistry Organic Chemistry TutorIf you are looking for an IMFS Chemistry Organic Chemistry Tutor, there are a few things that you need to know. I have been a Chemistry student in high school and college but this type of instructor is very different.I have always been one of those people who look for an expert. It makes me nervous when I walk into a classroom to find out what my classmates are doing and where they were when the teacher asked them to do the assignment. I have learned to relax when I can sit back and watch a student's actions as they are being assigned their assigned projects.The only way that you can find an organic chemistry tutor is by searching on the internet. You can search all over the web to find someone in your area or city who has a copy of the IMSLP Book. If you are like me, then you are not the type of person who will just go on line and start looking. You need to get to know the person, meet with them face to face.I have had so many problems with teaching my friends, that I started to look for the IMFS Organic Chemistry Tutors. There are a few ways to do this. One way is to use a textbook that you have and give it to the teacher to put the assignment in the book and then you can look up the IMS to see what he or she is saying.Another method that I am using is to make an appointment to visit your local library and find an organic chemistry tutor there. Once you have made the appointment you can go through a lesson with them or you can read the book online to get an idea of what the reading is going to be like. Either way you should do a lot of research before you go.When you finally decide that you want to take some courses with the IMFS program in the future, you need to find a place that has it. This will save you a lot of time and money. Once you find a place, you need to go and look for the IMSLP tutors.Some of the places that you will be able to get the books from will require you to pay for th em, however others will charge a small fee. Once you have found a place to buy the book from, you need to go through a meeting to determine which tutor to use. Once you have decided, then you should sit down and review the readings together with the tutor.

Organic Chemistry Magnet Technology - An Alternative to Traditional Books?

Organic Chemistry Magnet Technology - An Alternative to Traditional Books?If you are a student interested in a degree in Organic Chemistry, then you have likely heard about a great way to earn your Bachelor's degree, even though your government has banned the use of textbooks in teaching. The local community college is now offering magnet technology as an alternative to books for teaching and learning. Students who live in rural areas cannot get away from the long commute to a big city. Online education is an easy way to meet the needs of students who want to study and still enjoy a home life.In most areas, teachers are going to live in cities or large towns where organic chemistry is a major subject. Traditional methods of teaching cannot always be replaced by other means. The big issue is that the classes can not be spaced at the same length so that they will not overlap. Another issue is that many teaching positions cannot be filled with teachers that live in rural areas because o f the need for transportation issues.This is where a magnet technology program works well for some students because there is no travel required for a long distance learning program at a local college. The advantage is that it is more affordable than a traditional program. Students can purchase the materials online or from a local college bookstore and use them to meet the requirements for their program.However, it is important to know that many chemistry teachers in rural areas are skeptical of the benefits of this program. The main question that many parents ask is how effective the online learning program can be in helping students learn more about organic chemistry. Many of these students will benefit from an in-class study guide that provides information on properties of the elements' chemical and physical properties. In addition, the in-class materials should provide a list of textbooks for chemistry majors and a list of materials that can be used for laboratory purposes.Chemic al structure tables, reaction lists, and calculation aids are required reading for students studying organic chemistry. There are materials that can be purchased online that can help give students a foundation for understanding that they will need later on in their studies. The materials should be used by all students in the class so that they will feel more confident and equipped to demonstrate their knowledge to others. This way the classroom environment can actually be a learning environment.With many online learning programs, it is important to select an online college that offers courses that will help prepare students for taking the course material online. Of course, many of the courses available online for organic chemistry will be found at a local college because it is the local college's responsibility to provide study materials to all students in the class. Some online colleges even offer materials that are just as effective as those found at a local college if they are of fered online.Local colleges that offer online education have also discovered that having many online students may lead to more students being interested in attending college. So, students who live in a rural area are helping their local community colleges to meet the needs of students living far away. Students can get back into the classroom environment that provides them with a structured environment to meet their challenges as students.

Computer Programming Skills Prove To Be Great Asset

Computer Programming Skills Prove To Be Great Asset Computer programming skills prove to be great asset In a world that is rapidly going digital, many employers are looking for people who understand the digital world and computer programming skills as well as their field of study. These people who can combine computer programming skills with the knowledge of their field will be more attractive to employers, according to The New York Times. Many young students are reluctant to pursue these careers because the skills are difficult to quickly learn, and schools do not teach the material at a deeper level. Many high school programs only give students a surface level, computer programming education. This education is traditionally limited to teaching students how to use basic computer programs like word processing, spreadsheet programs, Janice C. Cuny, a program director at the National Science Foundation told The New York Times. Were not showing and teaching kids the magic of computing, Ms. Cuny said. She noted that the Advance Placement course teaches students how to program. The New York Times also highlighted that a lot of students are learning obsolete software, which is another problem. Cunys agency is planning to increase the number of trained high school computer programming teachers to 10,000 in 2015. Her agency is attempting to glean interest from parents and school administrators, expanding their computer science programs. Essentially, employers are seeking competent computer programmers who can apply this skill to their respective fields. These people are in high demand because high schools are currently educating very few people in these fields. High schools are not creating a strong interest, and students are no pursuing these fields of study beyond high school. This creates a stronger demand for people with computer programming skills and knowledge because there are not many in the current labor force. Labor experts are predicting that most new jobs will be in the technology field. Therefore, strong computer programming skills will prove to be valuable, Robert Reich, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and former labor secretary in the Clinton administration told The New York Times. Most of them will not be pure technology jobs, designing computer software and hardware products, but they will involve applying computing and technology-influenced skills to every industry, Reich told The New York Times. Think Geek Squads in other fields. Also, the Obama administration has increased federal funding and support for the science and technology education to increase interest in these fields because there is a strong demand for these types of jobs. This also grants more opportunities for interested students to get involved in these programs, according to The New York Times. The technology sector of the job force currently has a very strong demand. Furthermore, jobs in other fields are beginning to require some computer skills. These skills could be as specific as being able to program and write code or designing websites. Also, the skills could be as simple as understanding how to use a specific program or a basic understanding of the digital world. Students need to be knowledgeable in these fields because digital/basic computer knowledge will serve well in nearly every field. It is currently one of the fastest growing markets and prospective employees who have knowledge in these fields will be more valuable than those who do not. Students can become self taught on these matters, and most jobs will not require a student to be certified in some digital/technological aspect. Students can use new programs and familiarize themselves with new digital advances and breakthroughs. However, for the most part, simply being familiar with programs and digital trends can prove to be valuable.
