New Trio To Lead in Modiin
December 2018 ESRA Modiin Branch
t's all change at ESRA Modiin with a trio of new leaders taking the helm: Chair Evelynne Cherny and Vice- Chairs Judy Golub and Linda Slutzky.
In a joint statement they wrote: "We would like to thank the ESRA Modiin Committee for their vote of confidence in us.
"We are excited about the opportunity and look forward to working with the committee and all our members to strengthen our vibrant and vital organization. Together we can go from strength to strength."
They stressed the importance of members' ideas, suggestions, feedback and participation. "We look forward to hearing from you and working with you always," they added.
Said Evelynne: "I see the future as exciting. Together with our committee and the support of members we hope we shall be able to continue to achieve our goals."
Commented Linda: "I look forward to working closely with the leadership and full membership of ESRA to expand our projects, maintain the effective and successful programs already put in place by the able leadership to date, develop and take advantage of the varied talent and ideas of all ESRA members, and create worthwhile and enjoyable programs for all of us."
Judy said: "We look forward to hearing from you and working with you always."
ESRA Chairman Baruch Tanaman wrote of the appointments: "We congratulate the new Chair and Vice-Chairs and wish them every success as they usher in a new era for ESRA Modiin.
"Building on the strong foundation established by previous Chairpersons Cynthia Barmor and Jackie Klein, the new leadership will continue Modiin's record of growth and community service."
Evelynne Cherny
After marrying and having two children, Evelynne became President of the Ladies' Auxiliary in her synagogue in Sydney, Australia.
Later, she followed her husband and joined B'nai B'rith, but when that Chapter and Lodge disintegrated she took up the challenge and became Charter President of a new Chapter. She served as President four times over 30 years.
Funds were raised for Jewish and non-Jewish projects, and a donation was also given to ESRA Modiin for Neve ESRA.
Widowed in 2011, Evelynne made aliyah in 2013. For the first year she set about learning Ivrit, but admits that "it's not good."
She then joined both ESRA and Hadassah in Modiin, "but the pull of ESRA was stronger, and I have been a committee member for four years."
Judy Golub
Following a stint as an English teacher and time working as a broadcast journalist and U.S. Senate staffer, Judy has spent more than 40 years as a nonprofit professional.
She set up and led communal and volunteer organizations in America and Israel.
In addition, she ran her own consultancy in nonprofit fundraising and strategic planning.
Most recently, she was the Director of the National Council of Jewish Women/New York Section. Prior to her arrival in Modiin ("actually, Aliyah Gimmel for us," says Judy), she served as the Director of Administration for Development for the Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
She and husband Bob are retired and divide their time between New York and Modiin, home to their two children and (soon to be five) grandchildren.
Linda Slutzky
Though new to ESRA, Linda is a long-time Israeli resident having made aliyah from Wyoming with husband Dr. Gerald (Jerry) Slutzky more than 40 years ago.
They lived in Jerusalem but in 2005 moved to Modiin. All three of their children, and all nine grandchildren, live in the city.
After making aliyah, Linda began working for the American Embassy's Center in Jerusalem – the Embassy's public diplomacy department, which works to foster strong relationships with Israeli government, academic, and NGO institutions.
This gave her a deep appreciation for the strong ties between the U.S. and Israel.
In 2017, she retired as Deputy Director, and "now looks forward to applying her experience to her future efforts on behalf of ESRA Modiin."

Our Journey was just executed in time, for this was a severe North East snow storm. My Mother was therefore judicious in advancing her day from this the first date fixed to last week. How much we have to be thankful for. How little my anxiety has been during the Journey, and how favorably every thing has happened for us. These are things little thought of but always worthy of profound attention.
I was engaged all the morning in writing a letter to my Wife1 giving her a detailed Account of my late Journey. I had intended to have been at Church in the morning but there was no service at St. John's where we were to have gone. In the afternoon I accompanied my father and we heard the Episcopal service performed by a young man whose name 13I could not learn to an extremely thin audience. His Sermon was delivered in a very distinct and animated manner though its substance was not remarkable in any particular excepting its Anti Calvinism. Text, blank in MS .
The day was cold and gloomy, the earth covered with a crust of snow so as to make walking disagreeable. My brother's house is not badly constructed, not is it without comforts, but there appears a great want of attention to the minutiae which make a residence cheerful and agreeable. To be sure my father's residence is very well calculated to put to flight any idea of method or arrangement, as well as the greater essential neatness, but yet too much attention has been paid to the expensive parts. The house wants painting, whitewashing and a general correction of all the fireplaces, none of which draw as they ought. Perhaps papering would make the lower rooms still more pleasant. But now there is no one left to attend even to the necessaries far less the mere luxuries of life and the discomfort is apparent enough.2
I was quite depressed, and as I had nothing to do, it determined me to execute directly what has always been my intention—To seek an explanation of my father's designs, to offer him any assistance which I might render, and regulate my own course upon his answer to this question. Accordingly in the evening I opened the subject. He then gave me his views, very differently from what they had been in our last conversation four weeks ago. He said that he was embarrassed and must look for the means to release himself. He concluded not to break up his establishment here, and he could sell no property. Therefore very little would be necessary for me to be done. I endeavoured to converse in a tone as mild as I could assume, but my father's spirits have been so depressed, his nerves so shaken that he could not control his feelings at all. I had therefore a hard struggle to resist the painful effect which his mode of speaking produced upon me. I found myself gradually giving way to the same warmth and therefore dropped the conversation and shortly afterwards retired to my own room. My decision however was made.
Finding my services not necessary I had no reason for remaining in a place which gave me no pleasure and concluded upon an early day in the week for my return home. But I cannot, will not conceal from myself the bitterness of my feelings at my disappointment in not carrying through the measures which might save my father and Mother much anxiety and distress of mind for the future, and still more at the exceeding slight appreciation of my late motives of conduct and sacrifices of feeling during this catastrophe.

The present passage on JQA's residence, as distinct from JA2's, is puzzling. Though he does not say so, CFA appears to have walked to the house at 1333–1335 F Street NW in which his father and mother had lived from 1820–1825, which JQA still owned, and to which JQA and LCA would return in 1838 for the remainder of their lives. CFA's allusion to the "expensive parts" relates probably to the additions and improvements effected by JQA in 1821, made necessary by the extensive entertaining expected of the Secretary of State. The property remained in the family until 1884. (William M. Meigs, Life of Charles Jared Ingersoll, Phila., 1897, p. 129; Donald H. Mugridge in Columbia Hist. Soc., Records, 1963, p. 136–138.)

BioCrossroads report defines strategic vision for global orthopedics capital Life sciences development organization provides blueprint for Warsaw, Indiana's future industry and community growth
Sep 10, 2009 | newsroom
Indianapolis, September 10, 2009 – Now generating more than $11 billion in annual revenues, the global orthopedics sector concentrated in Warsaw, Indiana, represents more than half the U. S. market share and more than one- third of the world's market for developing orthopedic medical devices.
How does an industry — contained within a community — continue to maintain its strong economic presence and position itself for future growth? BioCrossroads, Indiana's organization for investment, development and advancement of the state's signature life sciences strengths, explores and outlines a series of action-oriented responses to this question in a new published report, Warsaw, Indiana: The Orthopedics Capital of the World — An overview, analysis and blueprint for future industry and community growth.
The report represents one of the most comprehensive studies ever conducted of Indiana's outsized share of this remarkable industry, and it suggests a range of broadly supported steps that the industry, the community and the State can pursue to ensure this sector continues to thrive on Hoosier soil.
Initiated through a planning grant funded by the Lilly Endowment, Inc., the BioCrossroads report reveals stunning statistics that highlight the growth of a sophisticated business sector and the community supporting it:
Kosciusko County has grown its Health & Biomedical employment base by 39
percent since 2001 compared with 15 percent for both Indiana and the U.S.
In 2007, the concentration of jobs in Kosciusko County in the medical devices
and equipment category had a location quotient of 51.86, which is nearly 50
times that for the national average, [resulting in] a location quotient that is
literally "off the charts."*
When compared with the larger Metropolitan Statistical Areas analyzed
nationally in the Battelle Technology Partnership Practice biennial state by state
industry analysis for the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), the
Warsaw, IN Micropolitan Area (population 12,500) would rank as the 15th largest
regional employer in medical devices and equipment in the U.S.
"The Warsaw orthopedics community is one of the most robust and concentrated medical equipment development sectors in the world, and a world-class economic asset that powers growth for all of Indiana," said David Johnson, President and CEO of BioCrossroads. "The integration of all this research has resulted in a picture of an industry cluster in Warsaw, that is currently robust, respected and globally competitive. While this orthopedics device sector has been tremendously successful to date, our research and the truly global scale of this sector's reach make it very clear that global pressures now confronting our whole economy, including all our life sciences sectors, have sparked a broadly perceived need for a community and industry engagement strategy focused on education, talent recruitment and retention, workforce and community development to ensure sustainability.
"We're now in the process of developing a Warsaw-based, regionally focused organizational initiative that can better define and prioritize the challenges and opportunities, and then seek funding to bring the best and most responsive ideas to life," Johnson added.
The report details seven initial focus areas for such an initiative to explore:
Branding and Awareness – promote the Warsaw community as the orthopedics capital of the world
Community Enhancement – develop and add specific, cultural and recreational amenities
Education – enhance options and opportunities for K-16 education
Talent and Workforce Development – further and focus the necessary collaboration among industry, government and education to identify future needs for this industry's highly skilled management and workforce
Transportation and Logistics – analyze regional transportation challenges and develop specific options for improvement
Industry/Technical Support Enterprises – research market opportunities and business cases for specific enterprises that could provide valuable "business infrastructure" for Warsaw's diversified orthopedics industry
College and Research University Engagement – promote and establish specific mechanisms and programs for collaboration among Indiana's academic and research institutions and between academia and industry to promote innovation and enhance processes for research and development.
"The medical innovation coming out of Warsaw is some of the best in the world, so it's critical that we have a plan for sustainability and growth. With true and widespread business and community participation, BioCrossroads has created a roadmap to move us forward, and we are fortunate to have such an action-oriented champion for our community," said Cheryl R. Blanchard, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer and Senior Vice President, Zimmer, Inc. "Community and industry leaders are eager to become engaged in this effort and find the best ways to make a positive impact on our community."
"Warsaw's economic vitality is driven by our orthopedics companies, not only for the success of the largest industry leaders, but also for the entrepreneurs and service companies that support this sector," said David Findlay, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Administration, Lake City Bank. "The work that BioCrossroads has done in developing this strategic framework will help our community progress, enhancing our assets and filling in our gaps. I can readily report that there is a lot of energy surrounding this initiative."
The report is available on the BioCrossroads Web site: www.biocrossroads.com
The BioCrossroads report draws heavily upon research by Battelle– both a 2001 study and an update to that work completed in 2009. In addition, a community study, including a number of in-depth interviews and facilitated discussions with key business and community leaders in the Warsaw region, was conducted and facilitated by Mary Walshok, Ph.D., an international expert in community and economic growth, professor of Sociology at the University of California, San Diego, and a principal in Global CONNECT at UC-San Diego. The report also includes specific recommendations for new types of enterprises and facilities developed by distinguished orthopedic surgeons.
BioCrossroads (www.biocrossroads.com) is Indiana's initiative to grow, advance and invest in the life sciences, a public-private collaboration that supports the region's research and corporate strengths while encouraging new business development. BioCrossroads provides money and support to life sciences businesses, launches new life sciences enterprises (Indiana Health Information Exchange, Fairbanks Institute for Healthy Communities, BioCrossroadsLINX, and Datalys Center) expands collaboration and partnerships among Indiana's life science institutions, promotes science education and markets Indiana's life sciences industry.
*Employment concentration is a useful way to gauge a state or county's degree of specialization in a given industry or cluster of industries. Location Quotients (LQs) measure the degree of job concentration within the region relative to the nation. A county LQ greater than 1.0 is said to have a greater concentration than the national average. When the LQ is significantly above average, 1.20 or greater, the county is said to have a "specialization" in the industry. (Battelle)

Biography: Early Life and Family
Kevin Owen McCarthy was born in Bakersfield, CA on January 26, 1965. His parents are Owen McCarthy and Roberta Darlene Palladino McCarthy. His father worked as an assistant fire chief for the city, and his mother was a homemaker. McCarthy proudly reports that one of his grandfathers was a cattle rancher.
McCarthy can trace his ancestral roots back to Italy and Ireland. His maternal grandfather was an immigrant from Italy, and his paternal grandfather hailed from Ireland. He was the fourth generation of the family to reside in the county of his birthplace in California; McCarthy calls Bakersfield home to this day. McCarthy did break ranks with other family members, who were all members of the Democratic Party, by choosing to become Republican.
McCarthy and his wife Judy call Bakersfield home, and McCarthy is a current member of the local Community Action Partnership.
McCarthy's early life goals included opening a small business. He opened Kevin O's Deli, but he would eventually sell the business in order to complete his schooling at California State University.
Kevin McCarthy attended California State University at Bakersfield to obtain both an undergraduate degree as well as complete post-graduate studies. McCarthy has a B.S. degree in marketing, which he earned in 1989. He returned to school in order to obtain an MBA, which he earned in 1994.
Kevin McCarthy and his wife, Judy (nee' Wages) have two children: one son, Connor, and one daughter, Meghan. McCarthy married Judy in 1992, while he was still pursuing his MBA at California State University.
Judy was McCarthy's high school sweetheart. Their home in Bakersfield is the first home the pair purchased as a young couple.
Representative McCarthy identifies as a Christian, and is Baptist by denomination.
McCarthy graduated from high school in Bakersfield in 1984, and attended California State University focusing on his prerequisites between 1984 and 1985. He opened Kevin O's Deli between 1985 and 1987, and worked to build his small business during those years. However, he would sell the business and return to school in 1987.
McCarthy is no stranger to scandals. McCarthy was set to run for his chamber's Speaker of the House position in 2015, but dropped out prior to the vote. Within days, rumors flew that McCarthy had been involved in an affair with fellow Congressional colleague Renee Ellmers.
It is possible that this rumor developed after a letter composed by Representative Walter Jones was sent to the Republican Conference chairperson at the time, Cathy McMorris Rodgers. In this missive, Jones stated that any candidates for the leadership position (as Speaker) should withdraw if they had any personal misdeeds.
The timing of McCarthy's withdrawal for the position of Speaker likely fueled the rumors; both he and Ellmers have vehemently denied the allegations. The media notes that McCarthy and his wife have remained married through the allegations, and, without any proof, the story effectively "died."
Other questionable activities have plagued the Conservative Congressman. One such issue involved the investigation of William "Bill" Wages, who ovens the Vortex Construction company and Judy Wages' brother. According to an October 2018 investigation, the Vortex Construction company received $7.6 million in coveted federal contracts. The bulk of the work was done as construction projects in the Bakersfield area, namely naval stations in McCarthy's district.
One of the issues surrounding the Vortex Construction company's winning these contracts has to deal with the fact that Wages stated on Small Business Administration paperwork that he is a Cherokee Indian. The SBA program under which Wages' company was awarded the contracts was intended to benefit "economically and socially disadvantaged members of minority groups." Wages claims to be one-eighth Cherokee Indian. An investigation by the Los Angeles Times found that Wages is a member of a group titled the Northern Cherokee Nation, a group that is neither federally nor locally (at the state level) recognized as a legitimate Cherokee tribe. The Times reported that other federally recognized groups view the Northern Cherokee Nation as a fraudulent group.
However, the Times also reported that their investigation found "no evidence that McCarthy did anything to steer contracts to the company; both Wages and McCarthy said they have never discussed Vortex's work with each other."
It is also notable that Wages' attorney pointed to the Small Business Administration's approval of the awarding of these contracts. Wages himself has said that he submitted a card showing his membership in the Northern Cherokee Nation of Missouri and Arkansas, and that "he would be very surprised to learn he is not of Cherokee descent."
The Small Business Administration has since changed the requirements for entrance in the program; one must be a member of a federally recognized tribe in order to qualify for the program. To date, there is no evidence of any wrongdoing on McCarthy's part.
Age, Height, and Weight
Kevin McCarthy is 56 years old as of 2021. He is five feet, eleven inches in height, and he weighs 165 pounds.
Sources vary on Congressman Kevin McCarthy's net worth. Some sources report his worth as high as $1.5 million, while many others report his net worth as of 2021 at a more realistic $300,000. This would include his annual salary of $193,4000 as a Congressman.
Kevin McCarthy co-wrote a book with Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan titled Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders. The book was published in 2010 and sold for about $16.00 per hardback copy. The book was not a best-seller, and the royalties were split three ways. McCarthy's exact earnings from the sales of the book are unknown.
Career Outside of Politics
Other than McCarthy's small business venture with Kevin O's Deli, the Congressman has worked chiefly in politics. McCarthy is a consistent guest on Fox News, and he speaks at various political rallies. He was an ardent Donald Trump supporter, and he attended and spoke at many Trump rallies.
Career in Politics
McCarthy cut his political teeth working in the office of Congressman Bill Thomas beginning in 1987, while he was still enrolled in college. He would work as a part of the staff for Congressman Thomas until 2002. In 1995, he was head of the California chapter of Young Republicans. Between 1999 and 2001, he also served as the head of the Young Republican National Federation.
During his time working in Congressman Thomas office, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s, McCarthy was the district director.
McCarthy's first election was not as a state assemblyman or a true politician. However, he was elected as a trustee for the local Community College District.
In 2001, McCarthy became a bonafide politician with his successful election to the State Assembly of California. He was the Republican floor leader for the assembly in 2003. He would run for and successfully win a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006.
McCarthy took the seat that his predecessor and former boss, Bill Thomas, left vacant when Thomas retired. This seat represented California's 22nd District; McCarthy would win the primary with 85 percent of the vote. He won the overall election with just over 70 percent of the vote.
McCarthy ran unopposed once more for the seat in 2008 and, in 2010, won again although a write-in candidate did take just over one percent of the vote.
Prior to the 2012 election cycle, the 22nd Congressional District was renamed the 23rd District. The 22nd District would lose some areas (such as the Central Coast) but picking up most of Tulare County. However, the redistricted area was chiefly Republican, and McCarthy would win his seat once again against an independent candidate.
McCarthy saw success once more in 2014, 2016, and 2018. Although the House swung to a Democratic majority, McCarthy's track record won him a position as House Minority Leader. During the 2020 elections, the House maintained a Democratic majority. McCarthy currently serves as the Minority Leader for his chamber of Congress.
McCarthy has served on a number of committees and in various positions during his tenure in the House of Representatives. They include:
The Committee on Financial Services
the Congressional Western Caucus
the Republican Steering Committee
the Republican chief deputy whip
the majority whip
the majority leader
McCarthy was also recognized as one of the three charter organizers of the GOP Young Guns Program, which was dedicated to electing conservatives to open Congressional seats.

We started Result to help corporates become more intrapreneurial and scale-ups to grow faster. The idea came to life when the founding team of Result traveled with a record-smashing pop group called Ace of Base. The question the founding team had after their travels with the pop group was why don't intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs who have ambitions to scale their ideas the same support ecosystem?
Result since 1999 has been aiming to do just that – helping scale-ups grow and scale internationally, helping corporate intrapreneurs test and scale innovations faster, cheaper and better. We believe we do this better since we are a team of entrepreneurs who have battle scars from our actual journeys of creating innovations and growing them. Not powerpoint black belts or 2×2 models that are out of this world.


There is only one team sitting atop the Bayside South now, and that is the Parkside High School boy's soccer squad. Scoring on a James M. Bennett defense that has only given up one goal all season, the Rams found the back of the net three times to down the Clippers, 3-0.
"It's great for these kids, they have put in a lot of work since Aug. 13," Rams head coach Chris Burkhardt said. "They totally deserve it. For me, it's nice, but it's all on the kids."
Swinging the momentum early in the match, Parkside cashed in on its first goal just eight minutes in on a Grant Burleson finish.
"We always stress 'first five, last five,' and even though (the first goal) was eight minutes in, it is still early in the game," Burkhardt said. "It's that whole mentality to go out hard, stay focused and good things happen in the 'first five' and the 'last five.' "
Burleson added his second of the day five minutes into the second half to give the Rams the momentum once again, which carried throughout the rest of the game.
"I feel like I played aggressive and was working around the defenders," Burleson said about his game. "I was getting through and scoring goals."
Bennett had several opportunities in the final 40 minutes, with its best chance coming with 13 minutes left to play. William Cooledge played a perfect ball from the top of the 18-yard box to the back left post over Rams' goalkeeper Justin Ball, but at the right place at the right time, Zane Carter kept the Clippers off the board with a header clear on the goal line.
"It starts with the defense, and in the last four games, we have shutouts," Burkhardt said. "They are working as a unit back there, covering for one another, getting better every day."
It was an all-around tough day for the Clippers.
"We were outplayed, they wanted it more, and that's the bottom line," Bennett head coach Skip Ruark said. "They came out strong, wanting every ball, and we didn't."
Gabe Wenke put the final touch on for the Rams in the closing 10 minutes, solidifying the victory and giving Parkside sole possession of the top spot in the Bayside South.
"We still have two games left before we can focus on (the Bayside Championship)," Burkhardt said. "We just need to compete in two games with complete performance and finish out."

I decided to post this tutorial on how to create a free and reliable PHP proxy server. Free proxy servers are all over the internet but they are generally unreliable, so getting your own free PHP proxy server isn't such a bad idea especially if you have been restricted from visiting certain sites.
With your own PHP proxy, you can unblock sites blocked by your school, employer, ISP or government. It's easier bypassing internet restrictions and firewall with your own proxy site and there is also the added advantage of securing your internet privacy. Nobody gets to know what you're up to online as you will always appear to be only visiting that proxy site.
Are you restricted from facebook, myspace, youtube and the rest of those sites you love to visit? Or are you just concerned about your online privacy? Then follow this guide and your proxy site will be up and running within one hour.
1. A hosting account: This can be a free or paid hosting account.
ii. The hosting account too must have safe mode turned off in it's php.ini configuration file.
This allows your web proxy server to connect to other servers since this is exactly what you want it for. You can check out these free hosts or run a google search.
2. A domain name or sub-domain: Some free hosts offer a sub-domain along with every free hosting account while some expect you to already have a domain name.
Now I believe you have a free hosting account with a domain name, right? It's almost complete…unzip the contents in the file you downloaded earlier.
Now login to your hosting cpanel and upload to your domain root (www folder) or create a folder in your domain root.
That's all you have to do and your free PHP proxy server is set up. Launch the address in which you upload the files and your PHP proxy server site loads. Enter your destination url in the box and you're good to go.That's it!
With almost a billion users the tricks and tips have become increasing stronger thanks to the thousands of developers and Facebook users like you who spread these tricks and tips quickly across your network. Today we would like to report a list published on Tecca - 20 tips and tricks for Facebook extensions. Here are our top 10.
From the advanced settings of Facebook chat (for access to click on the gear in the lower right corner on the chat) you can choose to activate the chat only for certain users or lists and then be disconnected for everyone else.
With the introduction of the timeline came a large focus for Facebook as they've given more importance to photos. They occupy large spaces in the timeline and you can reposition the photo previews for a stronger timeline composition.
Move the cursor over one of your timeline photos and in the upper right click on the pencil, choose "Reposition Photo..."
You can now move the photo by dragging it with the mouse and selected the best photo placement to display that photo. Finally, Save the image.
Facebook's timeline included a map where you can add the pictures to the places visited. Visit your profile, go to the map by clicking on the box under the cover image. Finally, click on the top "Add photos to map" and in so doing you will have a nice and clear picture of all the places you've visited.
Visiting your account settings, you'll see the notifications ( direct link ) button where you can browse then find the applications that are allowed to notify you with pop ups. From here you can choose to turn off notifications for any unwanted application.
When you publish photos be sure to select the high resolution box. This way, the photos will be beautiful and receive more likes, comments and shares.
What do your your friends see when they arrive on your timeline? Each of them could see your timeline in a different way, it all depends on your privacy settings. To see how your friend (or a friend) sees your timeline click on the gear under your cover image and choose "View As ...".
On Facebook, you can request and download a backup of all your data. This includes status updates, friends, photos, links and daily news etc.. Facebook now offers a new file that adds additional information to the extended history.
To share a conversation on Facebook you do not need to copy and paste. Facebook has made available, on any conversation, the ability to forwarding messages. Just open the message page, select the conversation and click on the "Actions" menu and select "Forward".
If you're tired of seeing all the chat windows that open (with friends that greet you) as soon as you go on Facebook, turn Facebook chat off and turn it on only when you need it.
To turn off chat click on the gear in the lower right corner on the chat box and choose "Turn off Chat." You can activate it at any time by clicking on the toothed wheel, also you can even open any conversation with a friend and click "Enable chat".
Would you like to have a business card with the style of the timeline? The service is offered by an application partnership with Facebook.
You can create your business cards in two ways. The first is to change the display language to English (U.S. English), visit the profile page and go to the "About" tab (personal information), go down to the the contact card and click on the icon you see in the image.
Alternatively, you can visit the official site and use the application without having to change any display language.
We tend to rely heavily on our favorite desktop applications like Photoshop, GIMP, Audacity, Adobe Premier and so on when it comes to dealing with multimedia files. What if we are on a public machine that doesn't have the software we need, or worst, what if these public machines prevent users from installing applications? That is where web applications come in handy.

Discussion in 'Alcohol' started by elle, Jul 30, 2018.
I've been trying to get sober for a few months now. over the past few years I have drastically cut down on the number of days that I drink, I don't go to work hungover and have lost 10-15 pounds.
Now I just go out once a week. but most of the time that means I drink too much and wake up with a hangover and hate myself.
It's easy to stay sober when I'm just hanging out at home. but when I'm out with a group my anxiety tends to get the best of me. so I have a drink to calm my nerves but once I catch a buzz I can't stop drinking.
Does anybody have any tips to get over the social anxiety? Does anybody else have or used to have this problem when you first got sober?
@elle... Have you seen a therapist or psychiatrist about your social anxiety? If not, I think it might help you to do so. Just a thought. For what it's worth, my adult son struggles greatly with anxiety and talking to professionals about it has really made a difference for him.
One thing I know for sure is this: Self-medicating with alcohol or any other substance is not the answer.
I might not know you, but I am still proud of you for coming face to face with your addiction. I have serious issues with self hatred, but I'm not being a hypocrite when I say that I wish you could be kinder to yourself. Cutting down to once a week is an AMAZING accomplishment, and you should be proud of the steps you took to get there. I wish I could be of more help to you, but sobriety has turned my social anxiety into a social phobia. I was only able to be social when I drank, which was the only positive aspect to my addiction. Now, 4 years later, it is pretty much impossible to get me out of the house. I still don't regret giving up alcohol though, so please don't let my story scare you. Maybe I should shut up now.
You should not shut up,what you said was sincere, honest,and straight from the heart.

I appreciate your honesty! Congratulations on your sobriety! that's quite an accomplishment. Have you ever talked to anyone about your social phobia?
I've talked about finding a therapist for a long time now, but I am finally making actual steps to make that happen. I come from a good ole Irish family, so talking about my feelings is not something I'm comfortable with lol. but I feel like it would be beneficial in all aspects of my life.
I see a general practitioner regularly for all my health issues, a psychiatrist every couple of months, and last week I started phone counselling which I will do about 2 times a week. Initially I didn't think counselling would help much, because they are mostly there to listen and not give advice, but now when I find myself getting upset, it's easier to tell myself "oh I'm upset, I should tell my counsellor about this." Instead of letting all my emotions take over my day without feeling like there will ever be an end to the pain. She also e-mails me information sheets based off of whatever issues I'm having, which is awesome. I told her to send me everything she would teach to a child, because I feel like I never learnt how to process my emotions. Feel free to private message me if you need to get anything off your chest. I know how it is to feel like your emotions are a burden on everyone around you, so if you feel that way too, you can message me as a starting point. Honestly no obligations!
elle, deanokat and True concern like this.
Arthur! I smile every time you share your introduction! Raw and real. I love it! And, I'm so glad you're here!
Sounds like you're taking good care of yourself, @lonewolves. That's terrific! Self-care rules!!!!
I totally get where your coming from. I had terrible social anxiety, occasionally I'll get anxious now but for the most part it's calmed down. Of course your going to be anxious trying to interact with others sober right? Up until this point you've had alcohol to ease your anxiety. It's only natural that when you take away that crutch your going to feel anxious. I've been sober a few years and I promise it gets better. Just take it one day at a time. The first 15 times you go out with friends and don't drink you'll probably have anxiety. Then the next 15 times you'll only have mild anxiety. Then after that you'll feel more comfortable in your own skin, comfortable with who you are and what you have to offer. You'll find you don't need the booze. But you have to be committed to sobriety. No wishy washy ****. My sister whose a "normie" thinks social drinking has become an epidemic. Like even normal drinkers think they need that social lubricant in order to interact with others. How sad that is. But alas we aren't normal drinkers so we don't have that luxury. Along the lines of what you said, we drink WAY too much, so things we regret and ultimately sabatoge our own lives if we drink. Best of luck but know every time you do something sober your working towards the end goal of being comfortable being who you are sober. I bet she's AWESOME!
