Soul friendships are the highest form of friendship. Once a person has attained such a friendship, if at all possible, it is their duty and obligation to nurture this friendship. Soul friends are friends that stick with each other through thick and thin, the good and the bad. They share life’s ups and downs and the emotions that go along with them. This is a relationship when one truly knows oneself, as well as the other friend. It’s not based on convenience, rather connection. It’s not selfish, but rather selfless. You are friends with this person because you care about them and their well being – not what it benefits to you. This friendship is considered to be rare among people, “Soul friendship is fundamentally the unrepeatable experience of knowing, and being known, by that one, particular person”, (Vernon, 2010). They understand you and accept you for who you are. Analyzing my own life, I’m not sure if these friendships are possible. I don’t have someone I would consider my “soul friend”. I have close friends, but I wouldn’t consider any of them to be soulmates. That may be in part because I am an introvert – it’s difficult for me to open up to others and let them see the vulnerable side of me. This isn’t to say that I don’t believe in soul friends – but I think those that do find them are one of the lucky ones because they don’t come very often and are rare to have. Vernon, M. (2010).

Fuller, CAE I n 1995, Nelson Mandela said that “In the twenty-first century, the capacity to communicate will almost certainly be a key human right. Eliminating the distinction between the information-rich and information-poor is also critical to eliminating economic and other inequalities…and to improve the life of all humanity.” Sadly we are not there yet, and it’s too often women who are short- changed when it come to access to communications, information, and technology in particular. The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF) issues this Special Report to shine a light on digital literacy, with a particular focus on media. This Special Report addresses the gender-based knowledge divide, with a specific focus on girls, women and workforce training. In absolute terms, women have less access to and use information and communications technologies less than men. As a result, a stereotype has been developed that women are rather techno- phobic, have less interest in, and are less capable using technology. One set of opinions and explanations for why this is ranges from to the types of toys that children play with—dolls vs. video games—to software and technology design. Contrary to those kinds of claims, careful and broad-based statistical tests in 25 dif- ferent countrie.

Species Diversity Over the long period of time that life has existed on Earth, there have been a number of important or significant innovations including (but not limited to) endosymbiosis to create mitochondria and chloroplasts; multicellularity; adaptation to land by plants and animals; development of exoskeletons in arthropods, shells in molluscs, and notochords followed by vertebral columns in chordates and vertebrates; and bipedalism in the ancestry of humans. All of these had to come about by natural selection in response to changing environmental forces. After studying the textbook reading assignment, pick one of these significant innovations and describe: How the innovation appears to have happened What environmental challenges were met and overcome by this innovation, and What opportunities were opened for the organism that made this innovation You must include in your post an example of at least one species and demonstrate that you understand scientific nomenclature by writing the correct binomial of the species name, and showing its hierarchy of classification. The hierarchy is shown from Domain to species. Explain how you use the scientific name to locate the nearest relatives of your chosen species, and provide an example. .

Special Purpose Districts (SPD) have been relied on heavily in Texas to provide essential goods to local citizens. Given the size of such districts and the local nature of their function, it is often believed that SPD's provide a clear democratic advantage to larger, more broadly defined governments such as a county or the state. However, evidence suggest that individuals seem to participate the least in these types of governments. What is the most significant reasons SPD's garner (gather or collect) such limited attention? General Guidelines: -Minimum of 750 words in length. -Revised and edited. -Incorporates assigned article, the textbook, and other academic sources to affirm or reject various points. -Clearly answers the question posed. -Organized well and concisely written. -All source material cited. .

Include why the offender was arrested and a brief description of there journey through the criminal justice system. Most significantly, include what effects this case has had on the criminal justice system, if any. Some states have used civil commitment proceedings to remove habitual sex offenders from society for extended periods of time, often indefinitely. In The United States Supreme Court case of Kansas v. Hendricks (1997) the Court ruled that such laws do not violate the Constitution's double jeopardy or ex post facto clauses. What reasoning did the Court use to arrive at this conclusion? Also, in the case of Kansas v. Hendricks (1997) explain the reasoning the court used to differentiate between a civil commitment and life in prison. Please answer both parts of the question. 1.

SPECIAL ARTICLE For editorial comment, see page 269 From the Department Psychiatry & Psychology (T.A.R.) and Departmen Internal Medicine (M.C. Mayo Clinic, Rochester and Department of Inte Medicine, Mayo Clinic, sonville, FL (N.L.D.). 344 How Good Intentions Contributed to Bad Outcomes: The Opioid Crisis of t of B.), , MN; rnal Jack- Teresa A. Rummans, MD; M. Caroline Burton, MD; and Nancy L. Dawson, MD Abstract The opioid crisis that exists today developed over the past 30 years. The reasons for this are many. Good intentions to improve pain and suffering led to increased prescribing of opioids, which contributed to misuse of opioids and even death. Following the publication of a short letter to the editor in a major medical journal declaring that those with chronic pain who received opioids rarely became addicted, prescriber attitude toward opioid use changed. Opioids were no longer reserved for treatment of acute pain or terminal pain conditions but now were used to treat any pain condition. Governing agencies began to evaluate doctors and hospitals on their control of patients’ pain. Ultimately, reimbursement became tied to patients’ perception of pain control. As a result, increasing amounts of opioids were prescribed, which led to dependence. When this occurred, patients sought more in the form of opioid prescriptions from providers or from illegal sources. Illegal, unregulated sources of opioids are now a factor in the increasing death rate from opioid overdoses. Stopping the opioid crisis will require the engagement of all, including health care providers, hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry, and federal and state government agencies. ª 2017 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research n Mayo Clin Proc. 2018;93(3):344-350 T here is no debate that the United States is in the midst of an opioid crisis. Between 1999 and 2014, drug overdose deaths nearly tripled.1 In 2016, more than 60,000 people died from drug overdoses, and opioids were responsible for most of these deaths.2 For the first time since 1999, life expectancy decreased for US citizens compared with citizens of other developed countries, and opioid overdoses were a factor.3 This crisis includes both prescription and nonprescription (illegal) use of opioid drugs. Prescription opioids include natural and semi- synthetic opioids such as codeine and morphine, and synthetic opioids such as methadone, fentanyl, and tramadol. Many of the synthetic agents such as fentanyl are man- ufactured and distributed illegally. With the increased availability of both prescribed and illegally obtained opioids over the past 30 years, there has been an increase in misuse and deaths (Figure).4 Various opioids have been available for more than a century, and opioid misuse has occurred during that time. Following the Civil War, veterans who suffered severe injuries were given morphine for pain relief. In the late 1800s, pharmaceutical companies began Mayo Clin Proc. n March 201 www.m.

Special Anniversary Section The Social Psychology of Sex and Gender: From Gender Differences to Doing Gender Stephanie A. Shields 1 and Elaine C. Dicicco 1 The social psychology of gender is a major, if qualified, success story of contemporary feminist psychology. The breadth and intellectual vigor of the field is reflected in the following six commentaries in the broadly defined area of the Social Psychology of Gender which were commissioned for this third of four 35th anniversary sections to feature brief retrospectives by authors of highly cited PWQ articles. Our goal in this section’s introduction is to provide a brief history of the development of this area, placing the articles described in the commentaries into this historical context. The six articles in this special section, individually and taken together, identify significant turning points in the social psychology of gender. We focus on how, within a few brief years, the study of gender in psychology underwent massive transformation. 1 The social psychology of gender has grown to become a thriving, scientifically sound research theme that encom- passes a wide variety of topics and questions. The story of how this came to be has been told from a number of perspec- tives (e.g., Crawford & Marecek, 1989; Deaux, 1999; Rutherford, Vaughn-Blount, & Ball, 2010; Unger, 1998). Here, we focus on how, from psychology of gender’s murky beginnings in early 20th century Freudian personality theory and even deeper roots in androcentric paternalism of 19th century science (Shields, 1975, 1982; Shields & Bhatia, 2009), feminist psychologists have shaped how sex and gender are scientifically defined, theorized, and studied. Over the course of the second half of the 20th century, feminist psychologists challenged psychology’s long-standing equation of female with defect and the psychology of gender with cat- aloging sex differences (Marecek, Kimmel, Crawford, & Hare-Mustin, 2003; Rutherford & Granek, 2010). We identify three intertwined streams of investigation from which the contemporary psychology of gender grew: (a) research focusing on gender identity as a feature of personality, (b) research on behavioral sex differences, and (c) research on gender roles and the study of gender in social context. We interweave into this story how each of the six key articles highlighted in this special section illustrate turning points in that history. We then describe the critical importance of networks and mentors toward making the research reported in those articles possible. We conclude with our thoughts on future directions in the social psychology of gender. Three Streams of Research Personality and Gender Identity Sigmund Freud’s visit to the United States in 1909 (at G. Stanley Hall’s invitation) was a signal moment for both Freu- dian and American psychology. Although many American scientists were disdainful of Freud’s ideas, he found a c.
