Top Quality on Tap
1. Who is MWA? Public Waterworks in Bangkok ?
The Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) is a state enterprise under the Ministry of Interior in charged in management and service providing of water supply in Bangkok and neighboring provinces in Thailand.
MWA's water supply at presently (2011), almost 100% of Bangkok's population receives reliable, safe tap water through the state-run utility.
Population-For Bangkok, data refers to its registered population. An estimate of the population including nonregistered population in Bangkok is 8.96 million. The total registered population of Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Samut Prakan was 7.9 million.
..............................................................................................................................
2. MWA Water Supply Coverage ?
For Bangkok, the number of connections in MWA's entire service area of Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan. It was estimated that there were 1.32 million connections in Bangkok itself.
From 1998 to 2008, the service area coverage by the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) increased from 35% to 70% of its area of responsibility comprising Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan. With a corresponding population coverage increasing from 6.4 million to 7.8 million, MWA increased its population coverage of its area of responsibility to 99%.
3. MWA committed to public service ?
In Bangkok, MWA enjoys considerable autonomy and is operated and managed like a business entity committed to public service. It has adopted transparent management, taken measures to increase work efficiency, and pays bonuses to employees.
As MWA covers three provinces and serves around 8 million people (based on the registered population), its responsibilities are complex. However, this is eased by the establishment of branch offices that are responsible for smaller areas.
4. MWA: Best Practice on Corporate Governance Award since 2000 ?
Thanks to various measures, MWA has received several corporate governance awards from the Ministry of Finance, including the Best Practice on Corporate Governance Award (Transparency Management) since 2000. The award was bestowed on MWA in recognition of its transparent management practices, which were set up under its framework for good corporate governance.
One of the main features of transparency in MWA is its internal control system, which helps ensure that MWA personnel, units, and offices perform in accordance with regulations, operational evaluations, and financial and accounting audits. This system is implemented through an audit committee at the board of directors level, which has more freedom to cooperate with the internal auditors and certified public auditors.
Through this and other policies and procedures, MWA has been able to minimize, if not eradicate, corruption in the utility.
5. Public Opposition to Privatization of Water Services in Bangkok ?
Following the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis, progress was made in privatizing the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) in Bangkok, including studies on how to go forward with the privatization and what kind of privatization arrangement would be implemented.
However, these plans suffered a serious setback in early 2004 when thousands of striking workers protested the government's privatization policy. The privatization of MWA has been stalled since then, and MWA remains a state-owned enterprise, although the private sector has played an increasingly significant role in assisting MWA to implement its projects and to deliver its services.
At present, private sector participation in MWA is mainly limited to activities in which private companies are not involved in investments, such as outsourcing activities like meter reading, new service connections and water loss reduction projects.
6. MWA provides tap water from surface water ?
In the recent past, the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) relied heavily on groundwater to supplement surface water sources.
This led to a number of negative impacts, such as groundwater depletion, land subsidence, water quality deterioration, and saline water intrusion in aquifers.
In response to these problems, MWA curtailed its use of groundwater starting in 2005. Despite the fact that providing tap water from surface water tends to be more costly than providing it from groundwater, it did so without substantial effects on its operations and finances. This was achieved by gradually increasing the capacity of water treatment plants using river water, along with a gradual reduction in groundwater withdrawal.
At present, groundwater levels have recovered in many areas (although not up to the levels in late 1980s), resulting in a reduction in the rate of land subsidence. Nevertheless, MWA is still relying too heavily on a supply-oriented approach, and a stronger emphasis on demand management practices is required.
7. Improving Service to the Poor ?
In Bangkok, regulations state that in order for the urban poor to be served with piped water, at least 30 households must associate and apply for a connection represented by five individuals.
MWA provides financial support from its own funds, amounting to B15,000 ($461), to cover new connection fees (including pipe materials and meters), with the balance being borne by the consumers and/or petitioners, who also have to pay a deposit for the meter size, i.e., B400 ($12) per house.
8. MWA Water Quality Monitoring and Reporting ?
In Bangkok and its suburbs, MWA conducts real-time monitoring of water quality at 20 locations.
Water quality analyses are continuously made at every stage, starting at the purification water treatment plants until the final stage at the customer's premises.
MWA strictly follows World Health Organization standards, both on the number of samples required and the concentration limit for water quality parameters.
Results of the analysis in treatment plants and the distribution system are publicly available on the MWA website (www.mwa.co.th).
9. MWA annual customer surveys ?
MWA also started conducting annual customer surveys in 2005. From 2008, the annual survey of customer satisfaction has been included as part of the MWA management strategy plan. The surveys allow MWA to better understand what it is doing well (e.g., new connection and payment services, pipe repairs, and maintenance) and what areas need improvement.
For instance, the survey revealed that only a very small percentage-less than 5%-of MWA consumers drink water directly from the tap, indicating to MWA that more attention needs to be given to water quality (particularly taste and smell) and drinking tap water campaigns.
To address this problem, MWA now conducts programs to inspect the quality of water at the taps of institutional establishments and houses, and assists them in implementing appropriate corrective measures to maintain the quality of water.
MWA has also established standards for its services, and these standards appear to be satisfactorily enforced.
Almost all of the complaints registered in 2006 and 2007 (facilitated through a 24-hour call center) were resolved within the duration set by MWA's standards (i.e., an average of 99.8% for 2 years).
10. MWA: ISO certified ?
In addition, the quality of water treatment and monitoring measures of MWA are notable, as reflected in the certifications it received. Two of the four MWA water treatment plants are International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certified, its laboratories received ISO/IEC 1702533 certification since 2004, and several of its branch offices received ISO 17025 certification34 in 2001.
Another indication of MWA's commitment to transparency is the preparation and publication of its annual reports, which provide information on highlights of operations in the fiscal year, service performance, policies and work plans for the future, financial statements, and data and statistics.
11. MWA: Revenue Collection ?
In Bangkok, for instance, the high collection efficiency rate and falling accounts receivable achieved by MWA is due to two concurrent strategies.
First, strict penalties are imposed for late payments, and second, there are now many different and convenient options for customers to pay their water bills (e.g., counter service at least 153 post offices, bank account deductions without charges to customers, and well as through the internet, by telephone, and by mobile phone).
12. Is Tap Water in Bangkok Safe to Drink ?
Have you ever wondered if tap water in Bangkok is safe to drink? If it is, why do you see so many people drinking bottled water in Bangkok?
1.	Since 1999, Mahidol University assured that MWA tap water quality fully meets the World Health Organization criterias and standards. This results in the official announcement of potable tap water in all service areas of MWA.
2.	In blind taste tests, most people cannot tell the difference between chilled bottled water and chilled MWA tap water.
3.	In the world, MWA is the first public waterworks utilities provided real time tap water quality information for consumers. Find out more about real time tap water quality in Bangkok.
13. Sometimes Bangkok tap water can appear cloudy when you first fill a glass. ?
Don't worry. This is just excess air which disappears in a few minutes.
14. Why Do Bangkok People Buy So Much Bottled Water ?
These would be liked as a 'fashion thing' - to be seen with a particular brand of water - but there is really no need. You may probably buy a bottled water, but you may refill the bottle from the tap at home and reuse it for ages.
15. What is MWA Water Quality Standards ?
MWA tap water is supplied on the highest quality of treated water provided to their customers.
Strict standards for the quality of Drinking Water Quality Standards laid down in national regulations [Notification of the Ministry of Industry, No. 322, B.E. 2521 (1978), issued under the Industrial Products Standards Act B.E. 2511 (1968), published in the Royal Gazette, Vol. 95, Part 68, dated July 4, B.E. 2521 (1978)]
These standards are based on advice from the World Health Organization (WHO) and are regularly reviewed.
Water quality is closely checked and regulated by independent drinking water inspectorates in Thailand, Mahidol University and Public Health Ministry.
In Bangkok and its suburbs, MWA conducts real-time monitoring tap water quality at 20 locations. Water quality analyses are continuously, starting at the purification treatment plants until the final stage at the customer's premises.
In addition, the quality of water treatment and monitoring measures of MWA are notable, as reflected in the certifications it received. Two of the four MWA water treatment plants are International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certified, its laboratories received ISO/IEC 17025 certification since 2004.
16. Hardness in MWA public water supply ?
100% of MWA public water supply is treated from surface water sources and meet national water quality standards.
The surface water sources are considered to be low in minerals which can be considered moderately soft. The hardness is not an issue for MWA public water supply.
Hardness of drinking water under WHO 2008-recommendation must be less than 300 mg/l. whereas the hardness of MWA public water supply is in average of 70 mg/l during 2000-2010.
17. How is the MWA public drinking water quality monitored ?
MWA public water quality in Bangkok and its suburbs is monitored under MWA real-time monitoring system. Water quality at 20 locations will be analyzed continuously, starting at the purification water treatment plants until the final stage at the customer's premises.
MWA strictly follows World Health Organization standards.
The real-time results of the analysis in treatment plants and the distribution system are publicly available on the MWA website
(http://wqconline.mwa.co.th/wqc).
18. MWA is the first in the world provide real-time public drinking water quality
Under the transparency policy and public services of MWA, our MWA real-time monitoring system was established since 2001 as the aim in providing public information as "right of information".
We are the first in the world provide real-time public drinking water quality
The system has enabled MWA to monitor the tap water quality in the distribution system to assure the high quality of tap water. The system is designed to collect water quality data every 10 seconds. Parameters monitoring are -Free residual Chlorine (mg/l) -Turbidity (NTU)
19. May I know whether the tap water in Bangkok is safe to be consumed directly without boiling ?
The tap water in Bangkok has its quality benchmarked against World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water guidelines. Its water quality meets and sometimes even surpasses the requirements given by WHO. From this perspective, yes, tap water in Bangkok can be consumed directly.
As for boiling, it is most effective at killing microorganisms in the water. Boiling can prevent you from getting a case of food poisoning or diarrhea if the water is contaminated by pathogens. However, boiling is not good at removing chemical contaminants such as heavy metals, organic compounds or even chlorine if they are present in the water.
20. I heard from salesman selling water filters that tap water contain chlorine which is not suitable to be boiled as it may produce trihalomethanes (THMs) which may cause cancer over long period of usage.
Yes, our tap water contains chlorine for its ability to prevent the growth of microorganisms in the water. But the concentration is still within the limits given under the WHO guidelines.
Yes, chlorine can form trihalomethanes (THM) under the right conditions. First, you will need organic compounds in the water to react with chlorine to form THM. Usually the organic matter content in our tap water is too insignificant to form any THM.
To be fair, the most well known member of THM, chloroform, is (only) a confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans. (Of course, I will rather not take my chances with ingesting chloroform.) The other members of THM are much less studied regarding their toxicity effects.
On the other hand, even disregarding THM, chlorine can be toxic in other ways - by itself or reacting with other chemical compounds. However, the chlorine in our tap water is definitely much lower (again according to WHO guidelines.
21. If that is the case, does it mean that we need to buy water filters in order get rid of the chlorine before boiling the tap water for making hot beverages ?
Just like issues on food and medicine, water is surrounded by much controversy, especially on the health effects of its components, whether for good or bad. Chlorine in water is no exception. We can't say for certain that chlorine is completely harmless. This is complicated by the fact the health effects are usually only seen in the long term. Performing unbiased studies on human health for the long term (25, 50 years) will be difficult so no one can be sure what the long term effects are.
Then if you are worried and you can spare the budget (remember, filters are consumables and require constant changes), do go ahead and get yourself a good filter to reduce the chlorine content in tap water.
22. May I know what are the impurities that are still present in the tap water and what are the suitable filter to address them ?
Despite its clear appearance, our tap water contains lots of impurities. (Try googling for "MWA tap water quality".) Water of high purity (Reverse Osmosis Technology) is normally used in microelectronics/wafer fabrication, medical applications, pharmaceutical manufacture. Actually, high purity water is considered "agressive" and may be bad for health.
23. I saw many brand-name filters in the market, is it advisable to get it to remove the impurities present like chlorine ?
We believe that the many filters (get the high-end one) are very good to remove many contaminants in water - microorganisms, heavy metals, organic compounds, fluoride, and chlorine.
This is especially critical for disaster or emergency relief when you do not have a clean source of water.

Leave aside the classical buzz words: massively parallel, multi-core multiprocessor and state of the art optimization for N-core… It has a cost, and represents efforts no matter what.
What will you lose going Multithreaded ?
Some things are nice, beautiful and enjoying because they are simple. By "multithreading" code, you might deface it, make it much more complex and much more unstable than it needed to be.
I would recommend the KISS aproach: Keep-It-Simple-Stupid.
Do I have a need for parallelized computation ?
No, not everything needs parallelized computation. Not every part of code is "time critical" and not everything needs to "run as fast as possible".
So, ask yourself: Does it fit to the actual problem? Can you think of your computation as a big job that you could split easily ?


Once you have defined the solution and the business has agreed that it solves their problem, you are the only one who has the authority to physically change the approved requirements.
When you change them, the person(s) who signed the original document should also agree with, if not re-sign, with the changes made.
The final target audience for the requirements is the technical team. While the users or stakeholders need to agree that the requirements completely and accurately solve the problem, the requirements are written for those who are actually going to build the solution.
Throughout the development process, there will be changes to the product. There will be trade-offs during systems analysis and design. There will be technical changes due to the build process. Testing may introduce changes. While the business analyst must evaluate all the changes in light of a valid solution to the problem, many changes will be acceptable or unavoidable. The business analyst's obligation is to modify the requirements to reflect the changed vision of the product. The requirements state the solution to the business problem. The system delivered must do what the requirements say. The system delivered must solve the problem.
There is certainly a lot of discussion in the agile communities about the value of a formal set of requirements. There is no argument among the agilists about the value of a well maintained and documented code base. Business analysts derive the same benefit from documenting and maintaining complete requirements, as developers do from maintaining their code base.
Your last name is "analyst" and everything you do is about analysis, from preparing decision papers for upper-level management to analyzing problem statements to determine what the real problem is. You do not accept anything as fact without analyzing to make sure it is fact. Your ability to analyze is what separates you from the requirements recorders.

Coronavirus stimulus: House passes revised HEROES Act, putting more pressure on White House

The House passed a $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package on Thursday evening, adding additional pressure on Republicans and the White House to make a deal on new pandemic legislation before Congress is expected to take a recess until mid-November amid election season.
The Democratic-controlled House voted 214 to 207— largely along party lines — to pass the bill, which is a scaled-down version of the $3.4 trillion HEROES Act that was passed in May but was never taken up by the Senate. The Republican-controlled Senate likely won't vote on the latest version unless an agreement is reached between Democrats and the White House.

The White House's latest proposal is $1.6 trillion, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Thursday. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin — who has been leading the negotiations on behalf of the White House — returned to the negotiating table with a proposal he said is similar to the $1.5 trillion stimulus package a bipartisan group of House members unveiled in mid-September.
After numerous calls and a meeting this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Mnuchin didn't reach an agreement on the stimulus deal as of Thursday evening but negotiations are expected to continue after the passage of the bill by the House.
"When people say 'Well, why don't you take a half a loaf?' Because the children need more than the heel of a loaf of bread," Pelosi said on Thursday.

'We're abandoning the spirit of bipartisanship'
In March, Congress passed the CARES Act providing stimulus to Americans and businesses hurt by the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting recession. Many of those benefits have now expired, and the latest version of the HEROES Act aims to extend some — such as extra unemployment benefits that were previously extended once through executive action — while also providing badly-needed aid to state and local governments, businesses, schools, and individual Americans.

The revised version includes $436 billion for state and local governments, $282 billion for education and child care, a second round of $1,200 stimulus checks, an extra $600 of unemployment benefits through January, among other provisions.
"We want to have a bipartisan bill that supports the children. I feel confident that we can do that," Pelosi said on the House floor ahead of the vote. "But we can't do that if we take the path of least resistance and just say: 'Let's do whatever they put forth.'"
Republican lawmakers criticized both the price tag of the latest bill and the Democrats for bringing it up for a vote as the negotiations between the two parties are still ongoing.
"Unfortunately by considering this bill today we're abandoning the spirit of bipartisanship," Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, said on the House floor ahead of the vote. "This bill was crafted without the input from members on our side of the aisle and doesn't have the support needed to pass the Senate or be signed by the president."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters on Wednesday that the two parties are "very, very far apart" and referred to the updated HEROES Act as "another multi-trillion dollar far-left wish list with virtually all the same non-COVID-related poison pills as their last unserious bill."

At the same time, McConnell previously said that the GOP would go along with any deal agreed to by the White House and Democrats.
The two parties disagree on key provisions of any deal as well, including funding for state and local government, funding for the additional unemployment benefits, and tax credits.
"[We're] still way off in terms of state and local governments," Pelosi said on Thursday. "We are coming closer on money for our health provisions in the bill."
'House Democrats will continue to negotiate''
With Congress going into recess on Oct. 2 and many lawmakers leaving Washington D.C. to campaign for their upcoming elections, the pressure to reach an agreement is increasing.
Mnuchin initially said that he hopes that the two parties can "have an understanding on an overall package" by Thursday but after several phone calls with Pelosi, the two didn't reach an agreement. Pelosi's spokesman said in a tweet that "distance on key areas remain" after the first call.

Pelosi and Mnuchin are expected to continue negotiating even after the passage of the HEROES Act which Democrats see as a way to formalize their updated offer.
"Frankly, if we'd reached a bipartisan agreement yesterday, we wouldn't have this bill on the floor," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said on the House floor ahead of the vote. "Notwithstanding the passage of this bill, House Democrats will continue to negotiate to reach the kind of bipartisan agreement that we believe is necessary to help Americans."

I also want to talk about something serious with you guys concerning the world of social media, but first I will give you all the details you need on this casual Valentine's Day outfit! My pink, pearl sweater is $42 and also comes in 3 colors (pink, cream, and grey). Certain sizes are starting to sell out in each color, so make sure to grab one fast! My distressed jeans have the most flattering fit (true to size), and they are under $60! The distressing on the knees is perfect! My white sneakers are only $22, and they will go with anything! My taupe purse is $32, and it's so gorgeous! Finally, my rose gold, tassel earrings are just $20 and will be perfect for Valentine's Day or any day after!
There has been a lot of talk going on about the negative impact that social media can have on people (especially kids), such as depression, anxiety, and other very serious concerns. This does not surprise me, because most of us are only sharing our highlight reel, and I think it's good to bring awareness to it. This is a very real thing, and it becomes even more complicated when you're a blogger, because it's pretty much your job to present things in a beautiful, inspirational way. However, I believe that messy and real can actually be the most beautiful and inspirational thing sometimes.
I love sharing cute outfits with you guys and all of the great deals that I find, but I get the most fulfillment from when I share LIFE along with all of that. It definitely makes you feel more vulnerable when you share raw human emotion, and it's still something I definitely have to work on. I've always been pretty introverted, and it takes me a lot to share my feelings openly. It can only help all of us, though, to start being more real. It's a very important thing to think about right now in our society, especially with our children growing up in it. So many young children are already having issues due to constantly dealing with comparison while living in the world of social media. I still remember listening to the dial up tone while waiting for the internet to start up (I'm aging myself), and now children have everything at their fingertips 24/7.
When our daughter, Lana, had her emergency room visit almost a month ago, it helped me so much to talk about it on Instagram and then share it with you all later in a blog post. You can read the post here. Let me tell you – there are so many beautiful souls out there. I am truly thankful for each and every one of you. I got so many supportive messages and comments. That's real life, and I became closer with so many people just from sharing my experience. So that is one of my goals this year with all of you – to be even more real. I also want to remind all of you reading this how much God loves you. He took the time to make each and every one of us. That is amazing. You are important, and you have a very special path laid out just for you.
I have linked all the items from my casual Valentine's Day outfit below, and I also added the other sweater color options and another shoe color option!

New festival launched in Brighton
By Nicholas Abrams
Expectantly waiting for the Brighton Fringe? Then we've got the perfect antidote. A brand new performing arts festival, (Brighton &) Hove Grown, opens March 18th and is an ideal way to spend the Easter break. Covering theatre, comedy, improv, spoken word, children's shows and much more, this exciting new festival aims to support local artists and give audiences the chance to sample Brighton & Hove's burgeoning arts scene.
Launching this week, the (Brighton &) Hove Grown festival runs from March 18 to 27 and features over 70 performances.
Launching this week, the (Brighton &) Hove Grown festival runs from March 18 to 27 and features over 70 performances. Jointly created by ZLS theatre and Sweet Venues, this is the inaugural year for the (Brighton &) Hove Grown festival and venues include the Artista, The Brunswick, The Dukebox Theatre and other, more intimate spaces.
This newcomer to the Brighton scene has two key aims: firstly, all companies and performers are all from the Brighton & Hove area and secondly, all shows are new-writing. Founder, Guy Wah, has lived in Brighton since 2008 and is committed to developing a local, grassroots, community-focused festival saying: "There is so much going on in Brighton with a lot of opportunity here for creatives to express themselves, but taking the first step and finding the right people can be difficult. I wanted to give people an opportunity to work with others".
Highlights of the festival include All The Nice Girls by Behind the Lines, an exploration of LGBT love in the 1920s, Heroes by Bard & Troubadour, re-telling the stories of Beowolf and Hercules and Insomnia by ZLS theatre, a multimedia, multi-sensory experience. There's also plenty of comedy, including Ant McEwan and Jane Postlethwaite, Funny Women and Brighton Comedy Festival Squawker Award Finalist 2015.
On Easter bank holiday take the children to the Write A Novel in 60 Minutes workshop at the Brunswick, helping 7 to 12 year olds create their masterpiece, complete with glitter, googly eyes and guaranteed to keep them entertained. Later in the day is Now I'm a Big Boy! a show written, produced and performed by young adults tackling the problems surrounding sexual consent.
Sweet Venues have worked alongside ZLS Theatre in the creation of the (Brighton &) Hove Grown festival. Artistic Director of Sweet Venues, JD Henshaw, said "That we can build a festival that focuses solely on new work across multiple genres is a testament to the quantity of highly creative people living and working in our city. We are committed to presenting this festival for the next three years and believe that it will become a fixture in the Brighton & Hove festival calendar, one that we can carry on far beyond our initial three year plan."
With the Brighton Fringe expanding further in 2016, this may be the perfect opportunity for a 'feeder' festival, giving local acts an affordable opportunity to produce, develop and refine new work in preparation for the future.
The (Brighton &) Hove Grown festival runs from March 18 to 27. Tickets can be booked online (www.HoveGrown.org.uk), are available from the Dukebox Theatre Box Office, or in person at the venue prior to the show.

Telling My College Roomate the Truth About My BFRB
How sleeping next to a stranger helped me manage my hair pulling disorder
by Taylor O'Connor
I started college in the Fall of 2017 and was randomly assigned to share a room with another girl. I hoped that as she, like me, was a prospective Psychology major, she would be accepting of what made me different: the fact that I have trichotillomania and pull out my hair. But I had no idea how she would react.
Taylor O'Connor
Source: O'Connor
Months before I received the email with my roommate assignment, I had been thinking about how I would tell a complete stranger such personal information. "When should I tell her? What if she thinks I'm weird? What if she wants to switch roommates?" Questions like these loomed in my mind, which only made me want to pull more. I decided to email her about my likes and dislikes, where I'm from, what my major was—facts one would typically use to break the ice. Disclosing my BFRB to her was something I wanted to do after the stage when we establish that both of us are addicted to watching "Grey's Anatomy."
The transition to college can be both daunting and thrilling. Whether you continue your education locally or choose a school across the country, there is a shift in lifestyle. Meeting new people and being exposed to different experiences allows for internal exploration. College is not only a time to discover who you are, but who you want to become.
I have had trichotillomania, or hair pulling disorder, since I was 7 years of age. I started pulling out my eyelashes and eyebrows, then eventually began pulling from my scalp. I have worn a hair system provided by Hair Club since the 8th grade. Back then I looked a little different since I hadn't found out about false brows and eyelashes, which led to a long battle between my bullies and me. With time, people became comfortable with me not conforming to the usual standards of how a person should look—or maybe they gave up on trying to tear me down. Whichever one it was, I had triumphed over those who chose to be cruel and I learned to love myself.
But with the transition to college life on the horizon, I couldn't help but think about what I had endured in middle and high school. "What will people think of me?" I thought to myself. I was tired of being the girl who pulls out her hair. And while the thought of studying away from home excited me, I was also worried about my pulling habits. At home, I slept without wearing my hair system which allowed me to pull at night. It was hard to imagine letting someone see me as I really am.
About a week after we moved in together, I wanted to tell my roommate the truth. I prepared myself for an unpleasant reaction. To my surprise, I was met with an, "Oh okay" and we continued discussing our love for TV shows.
Then I told the rest of my suitemates, with whom I shared a bathroom, and that was okay, too.
As it turns out, the arrangement of having someone sleeping 6 feet away from me proved to have a positive impact. I became comfortable enough to show her my natural hair, though I preferred keeping my system on at night. I wanted to restrict the possibility of her discovering hair blanketing the floor every morning before we went to class. This provided the opportunity for me to grow my hair out. I grew a thick head of curly black hair, something I hadn't been successful in doing since the 7th grade.
College years are a time for growth and development, both educationally and personally. During my first year of college I was able to form friendships that will forever be important to me. Who knew that my roommate, a girl I knew from a hole in the wall, would become someone with whom I felt comfortable enough to show my bare face? By sophomore year, I told several more people about my condition, and some of them shared their own stories of BFRBs with me, whether it was biting their nails or picking at their skin. My new friends expressed relief at finding someone who was able to relate to them. It seemed to take away their sense of "not belonging," since now they knew that there was a community of people just like them.
I was able to figure out who I wanted to be after my first year at college. I am no longer the girl who pulls out her hair, but the girl who likes to go on late night adventures. The girl who loves musical movies. My BFRB doesn't define me. It has challenged me with difficult lessons and been a catalyst for growth. College has enabled me to find my voice and now, instead of asking, "What will people think of me?" I use it to say, "This is who I am."
Taylor O'Connor is dedicated to raising awareness about BFRBs and serves on the Young Adult Action Council (YAAC) for The TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors. She is currently a sophomore in college, with plans to practice clinical psychology and teach at a university.

Summer's here and it's time to party with Kool & the Gang
By MiNDFOOD	| December 10, 2018

It's an 80s rewind with Kool & the Gang performing live in Australia and New Zealand.
"Be prepared to have a party and dance all night!" says Ronald Bell, tenor sax player for US band, Kool & the Gang, who will be hitting Australian and New Zealand shores this January as part of a mega-concert series. "We can't wait to perform for you all Down Under!"
Kool & the Gang – famous for their 1980 hit Celebration – had their origins in New Jersey in the early 1960s when 14-year-old Ronald, and his bass guitarist brother Robert ("Kool"), 15, got together with five of their friends to form a jazz/soul band, the Jazziacs. By 1969, the band had morphed into Kool & the Gang and the '70s and '80s saw them release hit after hit, including a track, Open Sesame featuring on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. They're known and loved for their funky, brass-driven sound on hits like Ladies Night, Get Down on It and Cherish. And after 50 years of writing music, performing and touring, the band shows no signs of slowing down.
"We've just finished touring in Paris, Amsterdam and Barcelona," says Bell, 67, on the phone from New Jersey where he still lives. "We've been playing for 50 years and people still love us," he said. "I think it's because it's the kind of music that when you hear it, you just can't stay still. Our audience is all ages – from 8 to 80."
The Gang touring Australia will be an 11-piece outfit – four of whom, Ronald, Robert, alto sax player Dennis Thomas and drummer George Brown – were part of the original Jazziacs.
Joining them in the Summer Series concerts throughout Australia will be The Jacksons, The Pointer Sisters, Village People, Sister Sledge and The Sounds of the Supremes.
The Summer Series will take place January 12-19 in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth and the same lineup will be rocking Auckland January 10 at ASB Baypark, Mt Maunganui as A Summer's Day Disco.

Kessler said he has become more familiar with Ohio's "political landscape" while serving on Bexley City Council. He has come to realize that local and state lawmakers often face the same challenges, such as economic and education issues.
These issues have a substantial effect on local communities but are largely dealt with at the state level, Kessler said in a letter announcing his candidacy for the 3rd District Senate seat.
"I have seen the need for good leadership at the Statehouse," he said in an interview Tuesday with ThisWeek.
The Franklin County Board of Elections confirmed that Kessler and two other candidates have obtained the paperwork needed to run for the Senate seat. The filing deadline is Feb. 18.
Kessler said he would not resign from Bexley City Council because he has important work ahead with his land-use commission and long-term strategic planning for city finances. He said the budget recently passed by council works for 2010, but the city needs a long-term plan.
"I'm fully determined to work on the issues that continue to face the city," said Kessler, who was elected to council in November 2007.
Kessler, a registered Democrat, said political affiliation is not something he wants to focus on during the campaign.
He has enjoyed the non-partisan aspect of city council because it provides "an intellectually honest debate focusing on the issues facing the city." The work of city council is not clouded by hidden agendas, he said.
"I believe that honest, open debate is lacking at the state level," Kessler said.
Through the encouragement of friends, people in Bexley and the Democratic Party, Kessler decided within the last two weeks to run for the Ohio Senate. He needs to collect at least 50 signatures of registered voters on his petitions.
"I'm prepared to run a hard-working and positive campaign," said Kessler, who intends to present his campaign platform in January. He is working with policy experts of various political backgrounds to present a "compelling, relevant and feasible" message, he said.
For more information about Kessler's campaign, visit www.kesslerforsenate.com.
