[1] The Duveen Brothers Records document the firm's sixteen year pursuit and eventual acquisition of the Dreyfus collection, which included paintings, sculptures, small bronzes, medals, and plaquettes. Bequeathed as part of his estate to Dreyfus' widow and five children (a son and four daughters), who had differing opinions about its disposition, the collection was not sold until after his widow's death in April 1929. Duveen did not wish to separate Dreyfus' collection of small bronzes, medals, and plaquettes, and it was sold intact to the Kress Foundation for a price that was met by installment payments every three months. (Duveen Brothers Records, accession number 960015, Research Library, The Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles: reel 301, box 446, folders 3 and 4; reel 302, box 447, folders 1-6; reel 303, box 448, folders 1 and 2; reel 330, box 475, folder 4.)

Home \ Affordable Housing - ¡Sí Se Puede!
Affordable Housing - ¡Sí Se Puede!
The elderly gentleman stepped briskly out of his senior living community and grinned as the Apple UberZip single passenger vehicle pulled up to the curb. As he slid into the workstation seat configuration, he thought about his 20 minute ride from Rancho Cucamonga to downtown Los Angeles and how he would be able to review his notes about how we solved housing affordability on the heads-up display in the comfort of the ergonomic Aeron chair. "Better than being in my home office," he mumbled.
The vehicle smoothly pulled out into the flow of traffic and sped off. He still couldn't get over the fact that he never hit a red light on the way to the freeway. Funny how a smart signal system designed by TRW's Ballistic Missile Division in San Bernardino (the place where they invented systems engineering) in 1990 had not been implemented until 2023—one satellite controlling all the signals throughout Southern California. Go figure. And not a single accident on the freeways for five years in a row now—get the humans out of the system and let the autonomous vehicles do the work. This was a real treat as Hasan, having recently celebrated his 80th birthday, usually spent his days visiting his chain of Jordanian fast food restaurants.
Twenty short minutes later, Hasan appreciated the lift feature on the vehicle as he was able to step straight out without pulling himself up and walk into the headquarters of SCOOP: the Southern California Office of Progress (formerly known by the unfortunate acronym SCAG). "Same old elevator," he thought, as he rode to his meeting with the students from USCLA (a merger after the privatization of the California University System).
The room full of international students rose and bowed respectfully to Hasan as the elder statesman walked in. The agenda today:
How did Southern California solve its chronic housing crisis?
Beth Juarez, a student out of Compton, welcomed their guest and introduced the class of inter-disciplinary students. She would be serving as moderator. She indicated that not only were there 100 students in the room but another 300 were linked into the media wall system from around the world. "Finally a system that works," Hasan thought.
Settling into the chair in the center of the room, he grinned broadly. "Let the questions begin," he said.
"How did California get itself into such a housing shortage in 2015?" The question was fired from the back of the room.
"Selfishness and bad policies," he responded quickly.
"So, how were those overcome?"
"Well, human nature is a force you cannot easily change—so we focused on the bad policies. In 2020, we finally cured the addiction to sales tax that had local government over-producing retail stores."
A hand shot up: "What were retail stores?" Oh yeah ...
"Giving local government a fiscal benefit to produce jobs and housing (a percentage of income tax divided between where people work and live) as opposed to playing the game of sharing sales tax revenue with retailers made a huge difference and ended decades of corporate welfare for retailers. Now the state gets all the sales tax and cities are able to participate in the entire economy, while focusing on jobs and housing.
"Most of the old strip shopping centers were converted into housing, even in the most NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) and BANANA (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything) communities. I guess some people wanted to live close to their children, or at least their grandchildren.
"We also were able to bring down the walls between agencies, curing the 'wrong pocket' problem so that the financial gains of dealing with the social determinants of health and well-being could be shared by all. This was best represented when in 2014, the LA County Department of Public Health piloted the concept of housing the homeless instead of continuing the revolving door in and out of emergency rooms.
"By 2022, other counties had followed suit and the link between housing and health was cemented. All our homeless are now appropriately housed based on their needs and, by the way, the financial savings were huge: more than $34,000 per person in 2015 dollars.
"In 2018, healthcare got into the picture. Led by Kaiser, they began to build multifamily housing into each of their hospitals. Others soon followed, discovering it was the only way they could recruit entry level personnel. These facilities also served long-term patients' families.
"This corresponded with the end of Jerry Brown's fourth term as governor (he is now 102 and living in a monastery in Santa Cruz), and his realization that ending redevelopment was one of the biggest mistakes of his tenure.
"Of course it took Mark Pisano's (who still teaches at USCLA) prediction that the aging of our population would break the bank of local government resources, and the 20th city bankruptcy, to finally get the system changed.
"Corporations soon got into the game, led by The Walt Disney Company. When they began expansion on their third gate, they built housing for their employees into Downtown Disney.
"Of course, the creation of Housing Enterprise Zones in 2019 was a major breakthrough in areas like the Coachella Valley – some regulations just needed to be modified. A housing enterprise zone asks the question: 'What needs to change so that housing can be built that the market (in this example, service workers and farm workers) can afford?'
"As the most creative region in the world, we finally convened our creative elite and asked the question: 'How do we design for the future?' The breakthrough ideas of shared spaces and community living were as much bringing back the old as they were creating something new.
"Food and shelter – those two basic human needs. Glad we brought them together with our urban agriculture and roof top hydroponics, allowing us to provide fresh fruit and vegetables for all school lunches across the state."
The two hours had flown by as each of the topic areas had generated numerous follow up questions. Beth called out for the last question. A screen lit up from Rancho Camp Pendleton (when the Marines left in 2022 the area had been master-planned, with 3 million people living there now): "Will the High-Speed Train ever come south of Bakersfield?"
"That is a conversation for another day," Hasan said, as he rose to loud applause.
Steve PonTell is president and chief executive officer of National Community Renaissance (National CORE), one of the nation's largest nonprofit developers of affordable and senior housing.

This closes my first annual cycle of films that document what happens in our skies during the great cosmic gateways of Equinox and Solstice, and Lunar and Solar Eclipses. I found that while there was some overlap among them in terms of what they presented in our skies, each one also had its own unique characteristics. And what my camera was able to film during these historic events was nothing short of astonishing! What this Summer Solstice Portal brought in was no exception.

Justin McCarthy became CEO of the Irish Farmers Journal in January 2014, having been appointed Editor of the paper in March 2013. Previously, Justin had held the position of Livestock Editor with the Irish Farmers Journal since August 2005. Having graduated with a Hons Degree in Agricultural Science in 2000, he spent almost two years working with Anglo Beef Processors (ABP) in Shrewsbury learning all aspects of the red meat processing sector. In 2004 he was awarded a Nuffield Farming Scholarship and travelled throughout Europe and New Zealand researching Profitable Beef Production from the Suckler Herd. On completion of his Scholarship he took up the role as Beef Specialist with Teagasc. During his time, he coordinated the Teagasc/Dawn Meats Partnership in the West of Ireland. Since joining the Irish Farmers Journal, Justin has travelled extensively throughout Europe, New Zealand and South America. His reports on Brazilian beef production have been well documented both in Ireland and across the EU political arena. In 2008 his articles claimed both national in international awards. Justin still plays an active role in the management of the family suckler beef farm in Co Down.
While it is going to be an extremely sensitive issue, the IFA has fired the first shot questioning the practice of farmers leasing out their entitlements having exited farming.
Having a clear strategy for the development of the sector is the first step in ensuring that the next CAP delivers for farmers and meets environmental challenges.
Editorial: without question, the right genetics are only one part of the breeding equation.
There is a point at which a crisis moves beyond merely issuing statements and holding meetings to lament the problem, writes Justin McCarthy.
It is encouraging to see Teagasc research continue to push the boundaries of what can be achieved. The research is pointing to tetraploid varieties having superior grazing efficiency.
Irish farmers may have to pay more to get into a market that would be worth less – tariffs would drive up the cost of business.
We can't keep doing the same thing year after year with suckler beef and expect a different result, writes Justin McCarthy.
There are numerous examples of how increased cooperation across sectors and between farmers can drive profit.
Rural Ireland would find itself effectively waking up to a national emergency on 30 March if the UK no-deal plans are implemented.
Register for the Navigating Global Trade conference in the RDS on Friday 15 March, brought to you by the Irish Farmers Journal and Grant Thornton.
What are the options for the 400 Leitrim farmers who attended our mart demonstration on Tuesday night - and indeed the 64,000 farmers with suckler cows?

"This series has some great presentation and direction though it does make it somewhat predictable in how it highlights what's to come. Predictable does not mean boring though and this tale has a lot of heart. There are a number of great scenes that can play with your emotions and each episode does leave a feeling of dread for a tragedy to come. Though those episode cliffhangers do build up expectations which the ending fails to deliver.The female cast is ridiculously strong with Satorus mother being one of the best parenting figures one could have.
Jinta Yadomi is peacefully living as a recluse, spending his days away from school and playing video games at home instead. One hot summer day, his childhood friend, Meiko "Menma" Honma, appears and pesters him to grant a forgotten wish. He pays her no mind, which annoys her, but he doesn't really care. After all, Menma already died years ago.
"Ever heard of the phrase "short but sweet"? This is the key to the best Noitamina-series out there: most of them can only be eleven or twelve episodes long, so they really need to know how to use their time, and this series is a brilliant example of how this timeslot should be used. It leaves no moment wasted, it never drags, and it's always developing its characters, delivering heavy drama, and moving back and forth between showing new things about its characters and fleshing them out.
Which team do you pick this time?
Well, after the Versus Show, how about some in-depth anime discussions this time? In this section I will talk in more details about anime/ manga that I'm passionate about. Please note that this is not an actual review. Honestly, I never truly agree with the concept of reviewing (and rating for that matters) at arts, at something we suppose to feel subjectively. If I want to review that much I'd rather be critic. But I'm not, at heart I'm an anime fan who love this medium just like you guys. This in-depth piece not only give me a deeper look at the works that cut me deeply, it's also serve as a reminder of why I love anime in the first place.
Lately, the world of The Flowers of Evil just can't seem to escape me, which is quite reasonable to be honest because psychological drama is always my thing. After all, one of my favourite director is Ingmar Bergman. For those who say this is a horror work: NO, it's not. It feels more like TERROR for me, something that can happen in real life (while horror's main intention is to scare you, period). I re-watched the anime again after its airing back in 2013, and this time I managed to read the manga to see how it all ends up. Thank god that the manga is finished so I don't have to wait for months for the next chapters to come. Flowers of Evil is one of the best anime/manga out there to really understand the dark side of growing up, the detachment to the world they live in, the self-confusion, the teen-angst and the obsession and destructive relationships. I will discuss in details below, really whatever springs on my mind. As this is obvious a spoiler-heavy post, please read it at your own risk.
It's party time again. Time for another round of The Versus Show. This time though, I'm not content with limit myself with shows with the same rating so I bend the rules a bit (Heck, even though I was the one who made that rule to begin with). After all, rest assured that my utmost intention is to pick a tight matchup for you guys here. This time it's a match between Haibane Renmei (94/100) and From the New World (90/100).
"Haibane Renmei truly is one of the best slice-of-life series I have ever seen! It first takes four episodes of building up, introducing its unique setting and its characters, and then it waltzes the viewer down with one of the most amazing storylines, perfectly fitted for 13 episodes.
"It's hard to really talk about the story without spoiling, but let's just say that you should not think that even though there are kids in this series, it's kid-friendly. Shin Sekai Yori is DARK. It uses a lot of build-up to get to where it's going, but when it's there it makes one hell of an impact. It has created this unique setting for itself, and it takes a while to set everything up, but that also makes this series quite varied in its mood. The setting has got a lot of depth to it, and the creators actually managed to pull a ton of potential out of it.
Which team are you in this time?
From the New World seems to have a slightly bit of advantage, being 25 episodes and just aired from the last few years. But our blog always has had a big veteran crowd and people who watched Habaine Renmei really do love it. So I think this is a tighter match than you would think.
Now to the result of the last poll, while Steins;Gate had always maintained a very comfy lead, the end result here is actually tight. As of this writing, there are 191 people who anticipated (I will keep the poll open for any late-comer, so if you missed it, don't worry). Well 54.5% to 45.5% is not bad at all, huh?
Shout out what you think on the comment section below, and we're welcome to any suggestion as well. The last thing that I want to stress we're here to provide a positive atmosphere as much as possible, so please respect other reader's comments.
That's all for now, HAPPY VOTING!
Time for something completely new for a change. In my opinion, one of the most unique feature here in psgels is always the scoring system, which goes all the way up to 100. This allows much more range in rating a series, compared to the usual 5-star or 10 rating scale. However, the truth is that rating's highly subjective. We score some shows higher because we think that they are "better" than other shows, and we score them evenly because we believe they have the same quality. But we know that you will always have different opinions than us. Which brings me to this very poll.
Now it's your turn. The premise of this Versus Show is simple: Take any 2 shows that have the same rating here in psgels, and YOU vote for the one that you think is better. Sounds like fun? Let's begin.
A tight match, right? Which team would you choose?
RULE #1: NO MIDDLE GROUND. You can't vote for both. It has to be either Madoka or Steins;Gate. After all this is an objective of the poll.
RULE #2: NO MULTIPLE VOTE. One vote per person only.
RULE #3: NO INSULTS. It's perfectly fine that people have different opinions and we respect that. Don't ruin the fun by berating, harassing or taking it too personally.
Apart from those rules, anything goes. As this is just purely an experiment to see if you viewers find it interesting, there is no time limit for this first boxing match. Please vote and if you like, tell us more about your choice in the comment below. Also, any recommendation how you would prefer us to do, content-wise and format-wise (even if you want to tell us to stop this) would be very welcome as well. If you think of any interesting pairs for the next show-down, drop us a line as well. For now, HAPPY VOTING!

Predictability of pain intensity and psychological distress by suggestibility and attitude to menstruation among female university students
Nader Abazari, Leila Heydarinasab, Hamid Yaghubi, Hojjatollah Farahani
Background: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is commonly seen among women of reproductive age and can be aggravated by emotional and physical symptoms. (PMS) has a wide variety of signs and symptoms tend to recur in a predictable pattern including fatigue, pain, mood swings, food cravings, tender breasts, irritability and depression. For most of women, the physical pain and psychological distress are severe enough to affect their daily lives. It has been observed that pain intensity and psychological distress can be affected by psychosocial variables such as catastrophizing, beliefs, coping skills, perceived social support, and learning about pain from important others. this investigation has aimed to assess Predictability of pain intensity and psychological distress by suggestibility and attitude to menstruation among Iranian population of women.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 130 female students of Shahed university of Tehran between 20 to 35-year-old. The data were collected through the, MAQ, Numeric pain assessment, DASS-42, SHSS/C, SRQ, and Demographic form. Significant level was set at 0.05. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS-24 software. The analysis method was standard regression.
Results: we had 130 female students of Shahed university of Tehran participated in investigation and their data was analyzed. Pearson correlation between total score of attitudes to menstruation and subscales of DASS-42 stress, anxiety and depression was respectively (0.778), (0.751) and (0.773). after that, correlation between pain intensity and total score of attitudes to menstruation was (0.732). moreover, results showed correlation between suggestibility score with subscales of DASS-42 stress, anxiety and depression was respectively (0.731), (0.733) and (0.8741). finally, data analysis demonstrated that correlation between suggestibility score with pain intensity was (0.735). about all of indexes, sig = 0.05.
Conclusion: results showed that attitude to menstruation and suggestibility can predict significantly all three subscales of psychological distress (depression, anxiety and stress), so do data analysis demonstrated that more negative attitude to menstruation can predict significantly pain intensity of menstruation among females. (sig=0.05)
pre-menstruation
The disorders related to menstruation are the most common psycho-gynecologic disorders (1). Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) often causes some similar difficulties among females (2). PMS is commonly seen among women of reproductive age and can be aggravated by emotional and physical symptoms (3). (PMS) has a wide variety of signs and symptoms tend to recur in a predictable pattern including fatigue, pain, mood swings, food cravings, tender breasts, irritability and depression (1),(2). The physical and emotional changes individuals experience with premenstrual syndrome may vary from just slightly noticeable to intense (3). It's estimated that almost 3 of every 4 menstruating women, have undergone some form of premenstrual syndrome (4). 20 to 32 percent of women report moderate to severe symptoms that affect some aspects of life, moreover 3 to 8 percent of them report Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The severity of symptoms can vary by individual and by month (5). PMS symptoms start 5 to 11 days before menstruation and normally go away while menstruation begins (4). For most women, the physical pain and psychological distress are severe enough to affect their daily lives (5).
Researches have demonstrated that pain is most common complaint among menstruating women;it has some different difficulties for them, for example, many women often self-prescribe in order to relief pain caused by PMS (6). Generally, PMS increase perceived pain among women; it dramatically augments the risk of pain medication abuse (5),(7). PMS correlates with a significant increase among women in general population that makes them undergo direct medical costs and a large increase in indirect costs (8). It has been observed that pain intensity can be affected by psychosocial variables such as pain catastrophizing, beliefs on pain, coping skills, perceived social support, and learning about pain from important others (9),(6).
In this way, it has been reported that psychological distress is another most important symptom women suffer from before and during menstruation (10),(11). After the complaints about pain, psychological distress is the most common symptom that makes women consult with a mental health practitioner (12),(9). Years ago, it had been assumed that psychological distress is just only caused by physiological alterations while investigations have shown that premenstrual and menstruating psychological distress can be predicted by psycho-social factors and cultural instructions (8),(13),(14),(11),(1).
Therefore (PMS) has multifactorial etiology and it may be affected by hormonal, genetic, environmental, and psycho-socio-cultural factors (15),(8). Some common repetitive risk factors for premenstrual syndrome include a history of depression or mood disorders, such as postpartum depression or bipolar disorder, a family history of PMS, physical trauma, emotional trauma, domestic violence, substance abuse, a family history of depression, major depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, dysmenorrhea, generalized anxiety disorder, schizophrenia (5),(8),(9),(16).
Among psychological factors, suggestibility is the state where a subject is inclined (and willing to accept) the actions or suggestions of others (17),(18). Suggestibility can make individuals have selective attention and it may increase psychological distress (19). Suggestibility level has been defined as an index which can predict the intensity of psychogenic pain (20).
In this manner it has been observed that there was a negative significant relationship between the attitude towards menstruation, considering the menstruation a debilitating event and complaining about the severity and symptoms of PMS (6),(21). There had been a higher rate of complaining about severity and symptoms of PMS in individuals displaying negative attitudes towards menstruation, considering the menstruation as a debilitating event and failing to predict the changes concerning menstruation on themselves (22).
It should be mentioned that (PMS) can worsen menstruating women's quality of life and social life (20),(5). (PMS) may adversely affect physical and social activities and interfere with interpersonal relationships and work productivity, and finally influence the quality of life (4). (PMS) is an important difficulty which decreases women's self-confidence, impairs physical, social and mental health, causes the labor loss, negatively affects the daily life, social activities, family relationships, sleep quality, attendance on lessons and academic achievement and consequently decreases the quality of life. Thus, the detection of women with (PMS), determination of their frequent symptoms and the definition of relevant variables increasing these symptoms, can guide the interventions such as psychoeducation, developing positive attitudes, and increasing the coping mechanisms regarding the menstrual cycle and (PMS) to be planned in decreasing the (PMS)-induced problems.
With regard to importance of detecting effective psycho-social factors on intensity of premenstrual syndromes (perceived pain and psychological distress) this investigation has aimed to assess Predictability of pain intensity and psychological distress by suggestibility and attitude to menstruation among Iranian population of women.
This cross-sectional study was performed on 130 female students of Shahed university of Tehran between 20 to 35-year-old who were volunteering to participate in the project and studied during January up to Aprille 2020. Samples were selected by stratified random method. after fully justifying them and expressing the purpose of investigation, the standard questionnaires was provided to them and after there were completed, there were collected. The informed consent was obtained from the cases and they were asked to complete the self-reporting questionnaires. The data were collected through the NEO PI-R (Costa & McCrae, 1992(, MAQ (Murs,1993), Numeric pain assessment (Jensen, 1986), DASS-42 (Lovibond pF, Lovibond SH, 1995), SHSS/C (Weitzenhoffer & Hilgard, 1952), SRQ (Brown JM, Miller WA, 1999), and Demographic form. Significant level was set at 0.05. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS-24 software. The analysis method was standard regression.
DASS_42
The DASS is a 42-item self-report instrument designed to measure the three related negative emotional states of depression, anxiety and tension/stress. among Iranian population research, the depression subscale of DASS-42 showed a high correlation (0.849) with the BDI in a 0.01 level of statistical significance. The stress subscale of DASS-42 was also found to have a 0.757 correlation co-efficient with SSS, again statistically significant at a 0.01 level. The rates of Chronbach alpha for the depression, anxiety and Stress subscales of DASS-42 were found to be 0.94, 0.85 and 0.87 respectively. The Cruet-Bartlett's test also showed a chi-square rate of 0.794 with a degree of freedom equal to 861, which was again significant at a 0.01 alpha level (23).
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). It has been shown that a composite scoring system including best, worse, and current level of pain was sufficient to pick up changes in pain intensity with maximal reliability (Jensen et al 1999). NPRS demonstrated a good construct validity by significant within-group difference in mean of NPRS score- t (63)= 7.57, P < 0.001 and statistically significant difference of mean score- t(98)= -4.24, P < .001 between the stable and improved groups. It demonstrated moderate concurrent correlation with the GROC-NP; r = 0.43, P < 0.01. Responsiveness of the NPRS was shown at three levels with AUC = 0.68–0.82, and MIC = 1.17–1.33 (24).
The Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale
The Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale were devised in the late 1950s by Stanford University psychologists André M. Weitzenhoffer and Ernest R. Hilgard and are still used today to determine the extent to which a subject respond to hypnosis. Stanford scales scoring ranges from 0, for individuals who do not respond to any of the hypnotic suggestions, to 12, for those who pass all of them. Most people score in the middle range (between 5 and 7); 95 percent of the population receives a score of at least 1. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to measure the internal reliability of the scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale was equal to 0.79, and it was 0.45, 0.44, and 0.66 for the subscales of perceptive-cognitive abilities, sensory-motor phenomena, and cognitive distortions; respectively. These coefficients for the total scale were 0.75, and they were equal to 0.51, 0.52, and 0.35 for the subscales of perceptive-cognitive abilities, sensory-motor phenomena, and cognitive distortions, respectively (25)rs.
The Menstrual Attitudes Questionnaire (MAQ)
consists of 33 itemsو developed by Murs, 1993, subscales include menstruation as a debilitating, bothersome and/or natural event, anticipation and prediction of the onset of menstruation, and denial of any effect of menstruation. Cronbach's a coefficient has been reported to range from 0.95 to 0.97(22).
Total sample who completed the questionnaires was 138 while 8 cases were excluded because of uncompleted tasks. Finally, we had 130 female students of Shahed university of Tehran participated in investigation and their data was analyzed. Mean of age of them was 26.39 (Std. Deviation = 4.294). 65 individuals (50%) of cases were married and 65 individuals (50%) were single. 24 (18.5%) individual of married persons had children. 50 individuals (38.5%) of cases were B.A student, 48 individuals (36.9%) of cases were M.A student and 32 individuals (24.6%) of cases were Ph.D. or M.D student. Birth order of 42 (32.3%) was first, 61 (46.9%) was middle and 27 (20.8%) of them was last child. Moreover 76 (58.5) of them had habituated in their own home and 54 (41.5%) of them had inhabited in dormitory.

Results showed that Mean of pain intensity of them was 7.05 (Std. Deviation = 2.36), Mean of Dass-42 subscales Depression, Anxiety and Stress were respectively 16.1 (Std. Deviation = 9.64), 18.8 (Std. Deviation =9.71) and 16.03 (Std. Deviation =9.45). Mean of attitude to menstruation of them was 100.3 (Std. Deviation = 41.08) and finally mean of suggestibility of them was 8.33 (Std. Deviation = 2.57).
Pearson correlation between total score of attitudes to menstruation and subscales of DASS-42 stress, anxiety and depression was respectively (0.778), (0.751) and (0.773). after that, correlation between pain intensity and total score of attitudes to menstruation was (0.732). moreover, results showed correlation between suggestibility score with subscales of DASS-42 stress, anxiety and depression was respectively (0.731), (0.733) and (0.8741). finally, data analysis demonstrated that correlation between suggestibility score with pain intensity was (0.735). about all of indexes, sig = 0.05.

Data showed that standard regression of psychological distress and pain intensity by suggestibility is reliable
Table 5: Coefficientsfor regression of psychological distress and pain intensity by suggestibility
Results showed that suggestibility can predict significantly all three subscales of psychological distress (depression, anxiety and stress), moreover, data analysis demonstrated that more suggestibility can predict significantly pain intensity of menstruation among females. (sig=0.05)
At the end, investigation showed that suggestibility and attitude to menstruation can significantly predict degree of pain intensity and psychological distress among female before and during menstruation. Our results about suggestibility are consistent with study that showed therapeutic outcomes of pain alleviation depend on level of suggestibility, as the same way the more suggestibility level among female develop the more pain intensity before and during menstruation (26). Another study reported that females with higher level of suggestibility, profit pain relief directed treatment even by prescribing placebo significantly soon, while these individuals are in risk of relapse and also suffer more pain intensity before menstruation (27). One of the important causes proposed on relationship between suggestibility and pain intensity is that suggestibility at the first step can speed up classic conditioning, so at the second step conditioning keep on pain perception and deteriorates pain intensity among females (28). It should be pointed that It has been claimed in another study that data about contribution of suggestibility with pain intensity is not enough (8).
Our data about predictability of psychological distress by suggestibility was in consistent with other investigations. It has been shown that suggestibility can make individuals be vulnerable about stress and anxiety, on the other hand suggestibility develop false memories which this kind of memories make depressed mood (29). Another study has reported that individuals with higher level of suggestibility need more social supports to feel quietness, thus dependency to others make them undergo more psychological distress (30). Moreover, it has been assessed that suggestibility can disrupt coping strategies among individuals with higher level of suggestibility, so in consistent with our results it has been demonstrated that more suggestibility can predict more precepted psychological distress (31).
Data analyzed showed that our results about predictability of psychological distress by attitude to menstruation are in consistent with some related articles (32), (33), (34). One of the most common results of studies have been reported is that negative attitude can develop stereotypes and myths which most of them are distressing for individuals (32). After that it has been approved that negative attitudes cause general psychological sensitivity, so emotional sensitivity makes individuals vulnerable about becoming psychological distressed (33). Another research has been carried out about predictability of psychological distress by attitude to menstruation and it has found that females with more negative attitude to menstruation has more difficulty with seeking for help. Therefore, inhibition in talking about precepted negative feelings and using only internal attributions about feelings make individuals psychologically distressed (34). Negative attitudes are one of the most important risk factors that can lead individuals with intensive premenstrual symptoms to attempt suicide (30). It has been approved that psychological distress caused by negative attitudes to menstruation make females get learned helplessness (13).
Our investigation is in consistent with literature and it showed that pain intensity can be predicted by negative attitudes to menstruation among Iranian female population same as other nationalities ((35), (10). Pain intensity among menstruating females is different person by person, but there is a significant difference among individuals suffering intensive pain; because females with more negative attitudes to menstruation, undergo dysfunctions and disabilities caused by menstruating pain (4). Attitudes to menstruation is so much effective on precepted menstruating pain that females with more negative attitudes to menstruation can't profit therapeutic goals of pain treatments (30). On the other word the more negative attitude to menstruation, the more intensive precepted menstruating pain and the more resistance in improvement of pain by different treatments (12).
One of the important limitations of the present study was not using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The other limitation was solely using self-report instruments to measure the variables such as pain intensity rather than using clinical observations or biological indicators.
It is recommended that in order to measure the variables, biological instruments be used to measure biological indicators. With regard to the multifactorial etiology of premenstrual symptoms, the use of a combined method in future investigations is recommended.
Our study showed that suggestibility and attitude to menstruation can significantly predict degree of pain intensity and psychological distress among female before and during menstruation.

Le menhir de la Vacherie,  également nommé la galoche de Gargantua ou menhir du Carlet, est un menhir situé sur la commune de Donges au lieu-dit le Carlet, dans le département de la Loire-Atlantique. Il existait à proximité, un dolmen, dit dolmen de la Vacherie, désormais détruit.

Historique
Selon Ogée, le menhir fut surmonté d'une croix de fer afin de servir d'amer aux marins. En 1780, cette croix fut renversée par la foudre. Pitre de Lisle du Dreneuc visite le site en 1879 et en donne une description détaillée.
L'édifice est classé au titre des monuments historiques en 1889.

À l'origine, le menhir était dressé dans un pré appartenant à la ferme de la Vacherie en bordure de Loire. Depuis la construction de la raffinerie de Donges en 1933, il est inclus dans le périmètre du site industriel et est devenu de fait inaccessible au public.

Menhir et dolmen
Le menhir est de forme très effilée. Il mesure  de hauteur pour  de largeur et  d'épaisseur. Le fragment de la pierre, cassé en biseau qui était visible à son pied jusqu'au début des années 1980, gênant l'exploitation de la raffinerie fut tout d'abord déplacé puis disparût.

Le dolmen, dit dolmen de la Vacherie, était situé à proximité immédiate du menhir. Pitre de Lisle fouille l'édifice en 1879. Le dolmen est déjà ruiné mais il comporte encore une énorme table de couverture ( de long sur  au plus large pour une épaisseur moyenne de ) en granite appuyée, vers le milieu, sur un pilier vertical de  de hauteur et reposant, à son extrémité, sur le sol. Les fouilles mettent au jour deux autres orthostates, au sud et au nord. À environ  de profondeur, Pitre de Lisle découvre une couche archéologique comportant des traces de charbon, des tessons de poterie à pâte grossière et dégraissant de quartz, des éclats de silex ainsi qu'une hache en diorite verte percée d'un trou d'emmanchement.

Le dolmen, perturbé depuis les fouilles de Pitre de Lisle, est désormais localisé entre les voies ferrées (ligne Nantes - Saint-Nazaire) au niveau d'un aiguillage, près de la raffinerie. Une dalle reposant sur un orthostate est encore visible, dépassant du ballast. Le site est inaccessible au public et d'accès dangereux.

Folklore
Selon la légende, la table de couverture du dolmen était posée sur le menhir. Gargantua, en visite dans le pays de Retz, s'amusa à la faire tomber en visant l'édifice avec ses palets qui depuis parsèment les alentours et correspondent aux dolmens encore visibles dans les environs.

Brian Elliot With His Soothing Track "Better Than Dead"
Upcoming artist Brian Elliot is an emerging singer-songwriter with a cinematic, indie-rock style. Through music and analog film, he captures the feelings of love lost and the hopelessness of choosing art as a purpose in the 21st century. The result is a juxtaposition between his meticulously crafted sounds and the non-linear nature of 35mm and Super 8 film. Influenced by Arcade Fire, David Bowie, Frank Sinatra, and classic films, his art lives in an audio/visual universe that lies between Alex Turner and Quentin Tarantino. Elliot's debut album, Familiar Walk To Nowhere is composed of crooning vocals, fuzz guitars, string sweeps, and warm synth pads. The record features visual media shot in the American Southwest that evoke the feeling of the vast loneliness of an uncertain destination. Listeners seeking an immersive experience will appreciate traveling through the landscape of Brian Elliot's, Familiar Walk To Nowhere. Following the release of his newest single "Better Than Dead" he projects a very soothing track that will surely capture your ears. Starting the track with a slow beat leading onto his luscious and loud vocals. To the production and the vocals he completes this track entirely. To explain the track further it's about losing someone you care about so deeply, and not wanting to be all alone. Wanting the girl is what you really want and there's nothing more you crave. This track would be perfect for a late night drive or just watching the sunset by the beach. "Better Than Dead" features Elliot's crooning vocals supported by a live string quartet and an indie rock ensemble. Go stream "Better Than Dead" and check out his discography which is filled with amazing tracks.

Major high street chains Waitrose, John Lewis and Argos have committed to using renewable biomethane fuel made from food waste in their long haul delivery trucks in a move which will help drive down road transport emissions.
The retail giants – along with haulier Brit European – will be using the renewable biomethane fuel for their long-distance articulated lorries. Supplied by CNG Fuels – whose customers' vehicles travel an average of 125,000 miles every year – it is 35%-40% cheaper than diesel, and emits 70% less CO2, on a well-to-wheel basis.
Labelled the most cost-effective and lowest-carbon alternative to diesel for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), it offers fleet operators the chance to significantly reduce running costs and emissions.
The Solihull-based company is developing a major UK-wide network of refuelling stations on major trunking routes fed by the high-pressure gas grid. Including fuel duty, biomethane CNG retails at 65p/kg before VAT (the equivalent of 49p/litre for diesel), and prices are even lower for bulk purchases.


Canada is to host its final meeting as head of the circumpolar world next spring after a term in which some say this country's greatest achievement has been simply holding the Arctic Council together.
Canada took over as chair of the Arctic Council — the eight nations that ring the North Pole — in May 2013. On Friday, the government announced it would hand the leadership off to the United States next April in Iqaluit.
Canada's intent for its term was to encourage development that benefited northerners. But almost from the start, diplomats found themselves in rough waters as one of the council's main players — Russia — began imposing its will on neighbouring Ukraine, annexing the Crimea and supporting Russian separatists in the westward-looking country.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said last spring that Russia's actions were "aggressive, militaristic and imperialistic" and a grave threat to world peace.
"When we're sitting there saying that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin represents a return to the bad old days of the Soviet Union, how does that not influence the direction the Russian officials are getting?" asked Huebert.
Canada did boycott one low-level council meeting in Russia. But it hosted Russian officials several times for meetings in Canada.
Canada also achieved its main goal of creating the Arctic Economic Council, a group of businesses operating in the North that is intended to share best practices and encourage economic development.
"This was something that everybody on the Arctic Council wanted," said Anthony Speca, a U.K.-based consultant and former high-level Nunavut bureaucrat — although he points out the council is currently dominated by large companies such as Russian energy giant Rosneft.
People in the North aren't always sympathetic to industry, said Speca, who gave as an example heavy Inuit opposition to seismic testing in the Davis Strait.
Byers said the council's creation is less important than other issues that haunt the Arctic. Canada showed little leadership on such issues as climate change, he suggested.
The Americans are already drafting an ambitious agenda for their term, Byers said. The former commander of the U.S. Coast Guard, a four-star admiral, is to be their top Arctic official.
"Clearly, under (President Barack) Obama they are trying to highlight the importance of the Arctic Council," Huebert said.


Hitori (from Japanese "Hitori ni shite kure"; literally "let me alone") is a type of logic puzzle.
Hitori is played on a grid of squares. At the beginning, each cell contains a number. The goal is to paint out some cells so that there are no duplicate numbers in any row or column, similar to the solved state of a Sudoku puzzle (except with black squares added to the grid).
Cross+A can solve puzzles from 3 x 3 to 30 x 30.

Open Book Extracts Expands Business, Regulatory Team to Focus on European Market
The new appointees, Tony Reeves and Tony Scanlan, will focus on the roster of OBX clients in the U.K. and Europe.

Open Book Extracts (OBX), a company specializing in cGMP-certified cannabinoid ingredients and finished products, announced the addition of Tony Reeves and Tony Scanlan to its European sales and leadership team. Together with OBX's global sales and operations teams, Reeves and Scanlan will work to support the growing list of OBX clients in the United Kingdom and Europe, as well as key global markets around the world.
The company joined the European Industrial Hemp Association Novel Food Consortium in March 2021, with the goal of pursuing safety studies to provide safe and ready access to cannabinoid-based products throughout the U.K. and the E.U., after which the company established OBX Europe, led by Najeeb Qazizada, director of the supply chain for OBX Europe. With its main distribution center in the Netherlands, OBX Europe supports local warehousing of OBX ingredients and finished goods throughout Europe to create supply chain efficiencies for OBX's UK and European clients, as well as offering additional options for contract manufacturing in those geographical locations.
"OBX sees international markets as major opportunities to accelerate its growth with the most promising commercial developments coming out of Europe," said Dave Neundorfer, OBX CEO. "Investing in experts like Tony Reeves and Tony Scanlan, who bring industry experience, deep strategic relationships, and an innovation mindset, is key to realizing the potential of the European market."
Reeves has a background in both science as well as product knowledge and commercial insight to drive discussions on the benefits of hemp, CBD, and other cannabinoids to a diverse audience across public and private sectors, OBX reports. He has been representing the industry to regulators (MHRA, Home Office, FSA, HPRA, FSAI) since 2015, and contributing to presentations in Europe on key issues including novel food regulations, as well as CBD and THC levels in food, supplements, beverages, and cosmetics.
Reeves is a board director and UK representative of the European Industrial Hemp Association, the only pan-European trade association representing hemp. He is also a consultant to online retailer The Hut Group. He is also a member of the CBD Food Product Expert Group, which includes participants from FSA (Food Safety Authority) and the Home Office, and a member of the Food and Drink Federation (FDF)'s CBD Working Group. Reeves previously worked as a consultant to Pyxus International/FIGR Brands Europe and European managing director for Aurora Hemp.
Scanlan possesses a lifetime of experience in international commerce, and has built businesses and partnerships in the U.K., U.S., E.U., Middle East, Africa, and China, OBX reports. Scanlan has had roles at the forefront of developing retail and consumer products in the CBD, vape, and telecommunications worlds, with an understanding across the opportunities and regulatory environments in these emerging sectors. Scanlan has a long history of teaming with regulatory experts to ensure that partner and stakeholder strategies are at a leading edge, the company said.
OBX has a 76,000 square-foot research and production facility near Durham, North Carolina, and can efficiently manufacture a broad range of cannabinoids from hemp and natural sources, including CBD, CBN, CBC, CBG, CBGa, CBT, CBDa, CBDv, and THCv. It offers concept-to-market formulation and product development services, leveraging water-soluble technology and delivery mechanisms such as softgels, capsules, gummies, orally dissolving tablets, tongue strips, and aerosol sprays.

Some industrial cutting machines use a thin metal wire carrying an incredibly strong electrical charge to cut through steel like it's softened butter. That's probably what inspired the Hacksmith to create a wearable pair of Wolverine claws connected to a car battery. They're not quite as deadly as Logan's adamantium claws are—unless you happen to be wearing them.
With about 100 amps of power surging through the claws, they produce an incredibly satisfying shower of sparks whenever each set touches the other, very much like Wolverine's did on X-Men: The Animated Series.
But does the electrical charge help these homebrew claws slice through thick metal doors or concrete walls? Not really. At most they seem to be able to handle chicken wire and aluminum foil, so their bark is definitely worse than their bite. However, those sparks would certainly be an intimidating deterrent if the Hacksmith ever found himself cornered by a bunch of mutants.


Three-time world champion, Peter Sagan, grabbed his first victory of 2019 on just his third day of racing.
It's a fresh season of racing for Peter Sagan, and everyone else, he's got a new haircut, a few new tattoos and for the first time since 2015, he's not wearing the rainbow stripes. The end result, however, is familiar. Sagan returned to his winning ways for 2019 and it sure didn't take long. Just three days of racing to be exact. After missing the mark during the opening two sprints, Sagan darted to victory today at the Santos Tour Down Under. In doing so, he erased any doubt about his form coming into the 2019 season.
When it comes time for a long uphill finish, the man is damn near unbeatable. Over the final punchy slopes of the Adelaide Hills, Sagan proved his pedigree. He also beat the stifling Australian heat to get his 110th career victory. It wasn't unfamiliar territory, though, it was on the same finishing straight, but a different course, where he won a stage last year.
He may be in a different jersey this season, but Sagan is still Sagan. Looks like another exciting season of racing is on the menu.


Allison and Jeremy are fun, beautiful and kind, and a perfect pair! They are high-school sweethearts and I am so excited for their late July wedding. This couple and their cute pup Buoy and I, along with my incredible assistant Lindsay, all met up in NW Portland for a photo adventure into Forest Park. It was a gorgeous day and we had a lot of fun. In case you're wondering, Lindsay's arm is the mystery arm in the post and she is great with dogs! You should check out her new Pet Photography blog! Thanks Allison, Jeremy, Lindsay and Buoy!

2021: We got this | Dai
2021: We got this
Let's be real. The first week of January is always rough. It's dark and dreary outside, and for most of us, the year (professionally) starts back at zero.
Well, this year is... exceptional. As if the first Monday back isn't hard enough on a normal year, for everyone in our community in the UK, we closed yesterday evening with the third national lockdown announced on the telly.
Hours before this at Dai HQ, we openly shared how we're feeling about the prospect of this new year. Many of us are from far away — California, Hong Kong, the Land Down Under to name a few — and didn't make it home to see our families.
The rumblings around the virtual table at our first all-hands meeting? "The word 'resolutions' doesn't make sense this year" and "not even attempting Dry January" were amongst them.
Up til that point, I thought I was the most anxious person in the room, and that my team would be back refreshed, energised and ready to kick my ass. I thought I had the worst case of the Sunday blues. I mustered up 2 new year's resolutions and thought to myself, good enough. I had made my peace and put my game face on.
Here's what I took away from my first day back:
There's no right or wrong way to enter into 2021. Whether you're drinking, not drinking, exercising, not exercising, eating, cooking, Netflixing, doing whatever you want (within social distancing restrictions) that makes you feel better, go for it
Everyone is going through a tough time, and we're all human and just doing our best
Socialise (virtually, distantly, safely). Isolation is not healthy. Make time to speak to each other, and be honest when you do because 2.
Finally, there's a reason why we're Dai'namic women. We motivate, we push forward, we transcend. If this is Groundhog Day IRL, whether you've seen the 1993 Bill Murray movie or not, we can transcend this. Let's wake up each day shifting our perspectives and making the most out of this. And if the last pandemic was over 100 years ago, this might be it — the last lockdown in this lifetime. Knock on wood.
During the first lockdown, you shared with us the kind things you did for others, the different skills you picked up, and new things you learned. We can do it again, we can do it together, and this time, there's actually light at the end of the tunnel.
So for the rest of January, we are doing and sharing self-love things we think you'll enjoy across all our channels.
Check out our Instagram for cheerful new giveaways, easy body-shape empowering styling tips, sustainable lifestyle hacks, what you're up to at home, and interviews with our favourite experts on mental, physical and nutritional health
Help us innovate the future of workleisure together. We're gifting you a £100 Dai gift card to join one of our virtual Dai focus groups and envision the future of comfort with us. Sign up here if you'd like to participate
We SO got this. See you on the other side.
Joanna Dai
P.S. Speaking of comfort, it's what we do best. My capsule everyday wardrobe has been just a mix of six styles from our bestselling stretchy trousers and soft, Zoom-ready tops. We have more new styles and more restocks landing this month, and if you're looking for premium breathable face masks, we've got them too. Mask 2.0, our Covid-approved one, is my everyday go-to.


Roller skate, take lessons from certified instructors, or throw a great party. We provide a safe, family atmosphere. Redwood Roller Rink has provided a quality skating experience to hundreds of thousands of skaters of all skill levels.

At Home with Amy Sedaris
At Home with Amy Sedaris: Cancelled by truTV, No Season Four

Happy Monday! I hope everyone's football team did well over the weekend!
I love how this turned out. It was a birthday prezzie fora friend. The yarn is FABULOUS and it was a joy to knit with! And the color ROCKS!
Great mitts!! A nice long cuff and very easy!!! I will be making more of these. In fact, I already have and I will post pair #2 later in week!
Ok, I LOVE this. I plan on making more! Lots More! I found a stash of cotton in funky retro shades! Wouldn't these make nice housewarming gifts in a little basket with some nice kitchen soaps? Ok, I just have to say one thing....... the mitered portion is GREAT, but when you get to the yarn double, the cotton makes your hands HURT!!!
PS. This pattern is also available FREE here!!!
This was a test. I love the pattern, well written and it's just adorable....BUT.....it is HUGE. I don't think it has to do with the pattern, just the size hook (I must crochet at a loose tension) and the yarn. I plan on making more of these. Very funky!!! Every so often it is nice to throw some crochet into the mix.....talk about instant gratification!
Ok, I have a few more projects and then I will be done boring you! I will never let the knitting get so behind again! It took too long to post all this stuff! Time for a refill on my coffee!
Holy cow! You've been a busy girl!
Thanks Jenagirl!!! But actually most of them were half finished so all I had to do was finish them off! :) When I said that basket was full, I was NOT kidding!!!
