Hello. I'm Robin Young, and like everyone I just named, I grew up in an alcoholic home. Now I know some of you may remember me as a co-host of Evening Magazine, a former correspondent for NBC News, but now I also refer to myself as something called an adult child of an alcoholic.
Now I know that doesn't make sense at first. Adult child. What does that mean? But please listen, because tonight's program may make some people's lives make sense, some for the first time.
We're going to be talking about adults confronting the fact that the alcoholism they grew up with was not only very painful when they were children, but has had a profound effect on them as adults.
And this alcoholism isn't always easy to see. I mean, sure, there's the violent drunk that you see on television, but we're also talking about the silent homes where kids grew up in constant fear that there would be violence, that Mom would fall asleep drunk with a cigarette or Dad have a car accident driving home. No one ever talked about it, and these kids always thought it was their fault.
I know alcoholism wasn't even mentioned in my home until my dad died from it three years ago. And even then it was hard for me to talk about, until I heard other people's voices.
He was a really sort of Jekyll/Hyde personality. When he wasn't drinking he was charming and bright and insightful. And when he was drinking he was angry.
I believe my father's alcoholic. And I love him dearly and I can't get him sober. And he thinks he's just a boozer.
My childhood was normal to me. Craziness, violence, hitting, screaming, crying, staying up all night. All those things were just our normal life.
Confusion is why I couldn't figure things out. Why can't I figure out the confusion? So I was confused about the confusion.
I used to think that a bolt of lightning was going to come and crash down on me if I talked about it.
Once it was easy for people to see me on the outside and think that things were going OK. The last year things just went dramatically downhill.
I thought if I was a better kid that maybe he wouldn't drink.
Now I know, because I was one once, that there are some cynics out there. Someone recently wrote that it feels as if we're about to have support groups for third cousins of excessive sherry drinkers. How important is this?
Well, there are 28 million Americans who have at least one alcoholic parent. That's one out of eight. And most of the people that we're talking about have worked very hard at looking really good so no one knows there's a problem until their lives just fall apart and marriages break up or they're profoundly depressed and they don't know why.
We get a lot of mixed si.

Here is a summary of your evaluation:
Your research helped shape the script and provided guidance on the overall product. Planning could have been improved to visualize changes. Time management was adequate but extra time could have been used to further refine sounds and script. Technical qualities were similar to existing horror works with effective use of pauses and sound effects, though custom music would have enhanced tension building. Aural qualities conveyed a diary/interview style through tone and effects, but pace could have been varied to add excitement. The documentary would appeal to ages 16-30 as an intriguing yet not overly scary listen suitable for casual consumption. Overall insights will help strengthen future audio work.

Joann awakens to find her housemate Manny sleepwalking and urinating in her dirty laundry basket. At an AA meeting that evening, Joann meets Eugene, an attractive biker, and feels an instant connection when they dance together. Eugene asks Joann for a ride on his motorcycle and to see his record collection, signaling the beginning of a potential romantic relationship between the two recovering addicts.
This document contains a summary of Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" retold by Helen Sillett and Jerry Stemach. It is presented in two parts. Part one describes how the narrator becomes obsessed with an old man's eye and plans to kill him, carefully gaining his trust beforehand. He finally kills the man by smothering him with a bed. Part two details how the narrator dismembers and hides the body, but is eventually driven mad by the sound of the old man's heart, which he insists the police officers can hear too. He confesses to the murder.
The document provides background on key characters in The Crucible by Arthur Miller. It summarizes Abigail Williams as a manipulative antagonist who tries to kill Elizabeth Proctor out of jealousy over John Proctor. John Proctor is portrayed as both protagonist for wanting to save his wife and himself, but also antagonist for his past adultery which set events in motion. Elizabeth Proctor is mentioned only briefly as John's wife.
The document is a manifesto promoting a coaching service called "Loaf Coaching" aimed at helping people reconnect with their passions and live a more fulfilling "W.I.L.D." life. It tells the author's story of following his dreams of a career in entertainment against obstacles. After initial success, he struggled in unfulfilling corporate work but was inspired to pursue his dreams again and eventually found success with his own TV shows in LA. The manifesto advocates living a life motivated by love rather than fear and encourages the reader to slow down and reconnect with their soul and dreams through the Loaf Coaching process.

1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan.docxcroysierkathey
1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan Harlow?
Fargo and Town Manager Harlow are on a slippery slope to corruption. I think that Harlow is handling her position the correct way by trying to remain neutral and sticking to a code of ethics so the problem really comes down to the political actors in the town. It is good that Harlow declined the invite to the dinner party, and cracked down on employees playing politics at work, that is a step in the right direction to removing the possibility of political corruption.
2.What is the basis for your answer to question #1?
At the end of the article Harlow remembers another city manager saying “you never have more authority than the day you walk into your office” What I get from that, and what I think Harlow got from that is that when you come into a position as a public manager everyone is going to want something from you. Political actors are going to want political favors, quid pro quos, you have something that everyone else wants and they are going to try and get that from you.
3.What are your recommended solutions to the problems you identified?
I think the best thing to do would be to continue to try to remain neutral. It will always be impossible to please absolutely everybody so the best thing to do is try to avoid doing everything everyone asks and stick to some sort of code of ethics.
4.What points do you agree, disagree or want further discussion from your fellow classmates and why? (tell them not me)
I think the overarching theme of this article is that people are going to want things from the government. I agree with Harlow's steps to avoid political corruption in her administration by cracking down on political favors with the snow plows and referring to the ICMA code of ethics.

1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan.docxcroysierkathey
1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan Harlow?
Fargo and Town Manager Harlow are on a slippery slope to corruption. I think that Harlow is handling her position the correct way by trying to remain neutral and sticking to a code of ethics so the problem really comes down to the political actors in the town. It is good that Harlow declined the invite to the dinner party, and cracked down on employees playing politics at work, that is a step in the right direction to removing the possibility of political corruption.
2.What is the basis for your answer to question #1?
At the end of the article Harlow remembers another city manager saying “you never have more authority than the day you walk into your office” What I get from that, and what I think Harlow got from that is that when you come into a position as a public manager everyone is going to want something from you. Political actors are going to want political favors, quid pro quos, you have something that everyone else wants and they are going to try and get that from you.
3.What are your recommended solutions to the problems you identified?
I think the best thing to do would be to continue to try to remain neutral. It will always be impossible to please absolutely everybody so the best thing to do is try to avoid doing everything everyone asks and stick to some sort of code of ethics.
4.What points do you agree, disagree or want further discussion from your fellow classmates and why? (tell them not me)
I think the overarching theme of this article is that people are going to want things from the government. I agree with Harlow's steps to avoid political corruption in her administration by cracking down on political favors with the snow plows and referring to the ICMA code of ethics.

1.The following clause was added to the Food and Drug Actthe S.docxcroysierkathey
1.The following clause was added to the Food and Drug Act:
“the Secretary [of the Food and Drug Administration] shall not approve for use in food any chemical additive found to induce cancer in man, or, after tests, found to induce cancer in animals.”
After this clause was adopted, no new additives could be approved for use in food if they caused cancer in people or animals.
The public loved this and industry hated it.
What do you think of this clause? Do you support it or do you oppose it?
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT or OPPOSE and then give your rationale. Then after you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
2.There was a law that individuals who were indigent and who wished to litigate could apply to the courts for a total waiver of the normal filing fee. In the legislative session, however, a statute was enacted which limits the courts' authority to waive filing fees in lawsuits brought by prisoners against the state government.
Under this new law, a court has to require the prisoner to pay a filing fee "equal to 20 percent ... of the average monthly deposits made to the prisoner's [prison] account ... or the average balance in that account", whichever is greater (unless this calculation yields a figure larger than the normal filing fee).
A prisoner (who was indigent) wanted to appeal his case and was to be charged this fee. He filed suit claiming it was unconstitutional to charge this fee to prisoners.
Choose the side of the prisoner or the side of the state and tell why you would rule for the side you chose.
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT PRISONER or OPPOSE PRISONER and then give your rationale. After you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
3.A defendant pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography and was sentenced to 108 months in prison. The sentencing judge raised the defendant’s base offense level….by two levels because "a computer was used for the transmission" of the illegal material.
The appeal filed challenged the punishment enhancement (not his guilt of the base punishment.)
The defendant argued the law did not apply to him because he did not use a computer to transmit the material. (ie He was the receiver, not the sender, of the child pornography.)
Do you believe that the sentence enhancement should be upheld? Give an economic analysis and rational for your choice.
At the top of your post, please indicate SENTENCE UPHELD or SENTENCE REVERSED and then give your economic analysis/rationale. After you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.

1.This week, we’ve been introduced to the humanities and have ta.docxcroysierkathey
1.
This week, we’ve been introduced to the humanities and have taken some time to consider the role of the humanities in establishing socio-cultural values, including how the humanities differ from the sciences in terms of offering unique lenses on the world and our reality. Since one of the greatest rewards of being a human is engaging with different forms of art, we’ve taken some time this week to learn about what it means to identify and respond to a work of art. We’ve learned about the difference between abstract ideas and concrete images and concepts like structure and artistic form. To help you deepen your understanding of these foundational ideas, your Unit 1 assignment will consist of writing an essay addressing using the following criteria:
Essay Requirements:
• 1,000 words or roughly four double-spaced pages.
• Make use of at least three scholarly sources to support and develop your ideas. Our course text may serve as one of these three sources.
• Your essay should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the READ and ATTEND sections.
• Be sure to cite your sources using proper APA format (7th edition).
Essay Prompt:
• In this essay, you will consider the meaning of art and artistic form by responding to these questions:
o To what extent does Kevin Carter’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph (figure 2-5) have artistic form?
o Using what you’ve learned in Chapters 1, 2 and 14 explain if you consider Carter’s photograph a work of art? Be sure to point to specific qualities of the photograph to support/develop your response.
o How do you measure the intensity of your experience in response to Carter’s photograph? What does it make you see/feel/imagine and how does your response/reaction support Carter’s image as a work of art?

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

how you're
adjusting.

MALE SPEAKER 1: You say adjust to, but there's no
adjustment. You're just
thrown back into your life like you're supposed to pick up where
you left off, but
that's a joke. Two years ago, I was dug in, pinned down by 50

brown mustard

FEMALE SPEAKER: You find that you drink more than you
used to?
JAKE: Why not ask him if he finds he's eating more hot dogs
than he used to?
BILL: You know why?
JAKE: Why is that? Oh great, Buddha.
BILL: Because I've been where you are. You talk about booze
like it's some joke,
but nobody's laughing. You can't get adjusted to anything when
you're trying to
get loaded.
JAKE: I guess you won't be joining me for a drink at the bar

mortar rounds coming in. And I reach for my helmet and my
weapon, but they're
not there. So I freak out.
And then I see pretty curtains. TV'S on. And then I remember
I'm at home. I
realize I'm not going to get blown up after all.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Thanks for sharing, Jake. You make a
good point. It can
seem a lot easier to self medicate rather than face the fears, the
bad memories
that we have. So what do you think? What are some other
things, maybe, you do
to avoid the challenge to being a civilian again?

MALE SPEAKER: There's a guy who served in our platoon. He
didn't call. Wrote
an email. He said it would bother him too much if he talked
about it.
Sorry to be the one who tells you that Eric committed suicide
last night. The last
time I saw him, he said he was adjusting to civilian life pretty
well. His girlfriend
told me it wasn't true. She said he told everyone he was doing
fine.
But the nightmares kept after him even when he wasn't sleeping.
It just tore him
up. I guess he decided he'd had enough. He ended it with a
service revolver.
Marine to the end.

why don't we have something like that? We should be reaching
out to all vets, not
just those who are already getting mental health services. I'd
even volunteer to
get something like that going.

Levy case. I think it's
so interesting. Just can't wait to meet with the client.
MALE SPEAKER: What do you find interesting about it?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, he's just 31. Usually the vets I work
with are older. If
they have PTSD, it's from traumas a long time ago. But Jake,
this is all pretty
new to him. He just left Iraq a year ago.
You know, I was thinking he'd be perfect for one of those newer

options, art therapy, meditation, yoga, something like that.
MALE SPEAKER: Why?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, I've been dying to try one of them.
I've read a lot of
good things. Why? What are you thinking?
MALE SPEAKER: I'm thinking you should really think about it
some more. Think
about your priorities. It's a good idea to be open-minded about
treatment options,
but the needs of the client have to come first, not just some
treatment that you or
I might be interested in.
FEMALE SPEAKER: I mean, I wasn't saying it like that. I
always think of my
clients first.

22. would get so hot. We
used to put our water bottles in wet socks and hang them right
outside the
window just so the water would cool off of a bit, and maybe
then you could drink
it.
Man, it was cramped in there. You'd be drenched, nowhere to
breathe. It's like
riding around in an oven. And you'd have your helmet on you,
100 pounds of
gear and ammo. I swear, sometimes I feel like it's still on me,
like it's all still
strapped on me.
FEMALE SPEAKER: How many tours did you do in Iraq?
JAKE LEVY: Three. After that last recon, I just-- There were
26 of us. Five
marines in the Humvee I was in. I remember I was wearing my
night vision
goggles. We passed through a village and everything was green,
like I was in a
dream or under water.
And then there was a flash, bright light just blinded me. There
was this explosion.
I can't-- I can't--
FEMALE SPEAKER: It's OK, Jake. Take it easy. I understand
this is difficult.
There's something I;d like to try with you. It's called exposure
therapy, and it's a
treatment that's used a lot with war veterans, especially those
struggling with
anxiety and PTSD.

FEMALE SPEAKER: OK. Well, I know this sounds crazy, but a
lot of people don't
breathe properly. And it really comes from bad habits. When
they inhale and
exhale, all the effort is here in their chest and shoulders. And
the problem with
that is you get a really short, shallow breath. And that really
increases the stress
and anxiety in your body.
Instead, a more natural breath should always involve your
diaphragm, right here
in your abdomen. When you breath in, your belly should
expand. And when you
breath out, your belly should fall. OK?
JAKE LEVY: OK.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So, let's practice. Close your eyes. Now, I
want you put one
hand on your abdomen and the other across your chest. Good.
25. Good. Now, I just
want you to take a few breaths, just like normal. What are you
feeling?
JAKE LEVY: I feel my chest moving up and down. But my
belly, nothing.
FEMALE SPEAKER: OK. So that's what I was just talking
about. That's OK. Let's
try this. I want you take a breath. And this time, I only want
you to allow your
abdomen to expend when you breathe in and to fall when you
breathe out.
OK, let's try it. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.
You feeling better? More relaxed?
JAKE LEVY: Yes.
FEMALE SPEAKER: And the more you practice it the easier it
will become. So
when you find that stress and anxiety coming on, just do your
breathing. You can
keep yourself from getting swept by all those bad thoughts. OK?
JAKE LEVY: Yes. Thank you.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So, do you want to try to go back to what
you were telling
me about before?
JAKE LEVY: I can try. It was night. We were out on recon. It
was my third tour in
Iraq.
