By: Elle Richard
Tags: Mental Health, Cutting, Self Harm

It’s strange that I’m so strongly affected by blood now because from roughly the ages of 12 to 18, in moments of anger or upset or overwhelming feelings about the unfairness of the world as it related to me, I self-harmed. I won’t go into specifics because I think it might hurt rather than help some people reading this, and my injuries weren’t at all serious, but over the years I saw small amounts of blood on a relatively regular basis.

When I first self-harmed, it was out of grief. A family member had died and I wanted my sadness to go somewhere and feel concrete and real. I did it in an obvious place, some friends at school noticed and I felt a deep sense of shame and regret. After that, I always self-harmed in the same place, rarely visible to anyone else. The injuries were minor, but over six years since I stopped I still have faint scars that haven’t completely faded.

I honestly didn’t see the problem at the time. In my mind, I wasn’t hurting anybody but myself, I wasn’t causing serious damage and I had an outlet for my worst feelings. I knew logically that what I was doing wasn’t okay, but I couldn’t translate that when it came to my actual experiences. I liked feeling physical rather than emotionally wounded. I’d carry pain around with me all day like a trophy.

It took me a long time to see my self-harm for what it really was — thousands of tiny acts of hatred and violence against my own body. I thought I was letting things out and releasing them, but really I was setting the dogs on myself. I was one of the lucky ones — I stopped on my own, and things never got really serious. Even on my worst days now, it’s not an option for a number of reasons. It’s not like that for everyone.

My story feels like a pretty mild one — but any degree of self-harm is a problem. If you’re struggling with it I know that it’s incredibly hard to form the words to speak up, but there are people who want to hear them — friends, parents, guardians, counselors, and charities like Mind or Childline*. I spoke to my family about it today, and it was hard, but it was the right thing to do. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You deserve to reach a place where you feel you can be kind to yourself, and you deserve help along the way.

I try to find little ways to love myself now, and I hope you can too. Whatever age I am, I always want to scoop up my past self at her worst moments and wipe her tears and feed her chips and tell her everything’s going to be okay — so why is it often so hard to give my present self that same love? I think I’m getting along better with myself now, even if some days it takes work. Sometimes you need to hold your own hand. Not literally. But maybe literally, if it helps.
Day 19: How to free yourself from the garlic stank
Tags: Free, Cooking, How To, Cutting, Garlic

Garlic is a crucial ingredient in many savory dishes. I also love the fact that garlic gets rid of the gamey taste from the meat. I like to use fresh garlic since it tastes better than the pre-minced ones at the store. However, after working with garlic, your hands are left with an unpleasant garlic order for hours.

Why can’t soap and water wash off the odor?

When you cut open a piece of garlic, a sulfur-containing amino acid is release and it comes into contact with an enzyme called alliinase. The reaction between the two produces allicin which is responsible for the smell. Adding water into this mix actually heightens the reaction so washing your hands make things worse.

What can I do? I can’t stand the smell!!!

There is a simple solution to this problem. You can rub your hands with stainless steel!

What?? how does that work?

When you touch stainless steel, the sulfur modules bind to the steel. The sulfur molecules are transferred from your hands to the steel, taking the odor away from your hands.

Where can I find stainless steel?

If you have stainless steel pots/pans you can use them. I personally use my cast iron cleaning stainless steel chain since it’s flexible to reach all the area on my hands.
Cold Inside The Mind

Tags: Depression, Survivor, Life Lessons, Cutting, Suicide Awareness

I’m really tired of seeing the glass half full,

The silver linings of a cloud that doesn’t exist,

Or the rose colored glasses.

Yesteryears showing me patterns,

Like stained glass broken.

I’m really tired of feelings that never quiet,

Bitter tears stuck in lacrimal ducts,

And a sleep that never lets me rest.

I’m really tired…

-RRT

Once in a while, I am a solid hominid. Breathing deeply in and hopeful like a 5 year old at the park. Alas, those moments grow smaller and smaller as my sense of being dissolves.

Suicide has a tenacious grip, and I fight it like it is my Siamese twin. How do you win against yourself? Answer, you do not win, you form a truce.

I argue inside my head like a married couple. Never mind the fact that I have never been married. What a punishment to a mate! “Hi, sometimes I am a little disturbed inside, but it has nothing to do with you.” Yeah, he would love that.

I walk, work, and exercise like a machine because inside my body, I am cold inside. I am my own polar vortex of despair.

“Why don’t you ask for help?” people ask me. I do. I have been screaming for help since I was 8 years old. My throat and soul hurt now. I cannot scream anymore. Even cutting does nothing for me.

I downed two bottles of WalSom and went wacko for a few days, then slept for 5 days in the ICU. I was 19, in college, working two jobs, and homeless. Talk about loneliness personified.

Years go by, and you would think it gets better. The old adage that time heals all wounds. Well, they mean scrapes from falling in the physical world, not falling in the mind.

I am tired of going through the revolving doors of psychotherapy. Those annoying groups where three out of 9 people talk (yes, I am on of the 3). Tired of looking in the mirror, and wondering “why”.

You take your beloved pet to the vet to be put to sleep when you feel s/he has suffered enough. How about me? Wouldn’t that help the overpopulation problem? Maybe.

Your Hands Were On the Knife

A Poem About Teenage Depression

You post the amazing experiences your child is having

I feel a twinge of jealousy deep in my stomach for the happy life your daughter has

I post the laughter and fun things we find in pockets of the day

You post kudos for the successes of your team

I want to tell you that you systematically broke her down with your broken promises, misplaced accusations and attacks on her character

I post all her extra efforts to prove you don’t know her, to prove you are wrong

You post your new life raising children to be responsible adults

I want to tell you an adult can leave lasting wounds with chastising comments

I post her successes doing what you said she failed at

You post your slightly flirty pictures of yourself

I feel the rage

I post the carefully crafted and posed photos to boost her confidence that you shattered to feel better about yourself

You post what a great young man you have graduating from high school

I feel disgust and yes, maybe hatred

I post all the little extras to show you your young “man” didn’t break her

You post about loving everyone and about God’s love and mercy

I see the hypocrisy

I post a proud moment and MY love for her

And hide the scars on her arm

You confess your love to her

I see your narcissistic manipulation that defeats her

I post to remind you she deserves more

You post about your selflessness and how you give so much to others

I wonder what happened for you to give to another while leaving her behind

I post about her determination and self reliance.

You posted about how proud you were of her and what a beautiful person she has become

I felt your love for your special angel

I posted how much she loved you and appreciated you … then you were gone.
Self-harm: It’s own addiction
By: Bailee Smith
Tags: Depression, Cutting, Addiction, Self Harm

Although it’s commonly hidden away, self-harm is a quite usual occurrence especially in teens, and young adults. Most can conquer this with treatment, however it is still extremely difficult to admit that you need help.

So Self-harm is basically hurting yourself with intent, there are a multitude of ways to do so but most conventional is cutting yourself with a sharp object or a blade. There can also be an after affect is some that causes them to pick at wounds, pull hair, etc. prevent healing. Anyone who self-harms is a sign of emotional distress, and when not brought help those can feel the need to self-harm. These people often feel they deserve the pain but also feel shame in self-harming.

Okay, that makes sense, but why? Why do people choose to hurt themselves? Well you see it’s not a choice, self-harm is a side effect to a lot of different mental illness’s such as Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, and so many more. The people suffering with these feel like that’s the only way to ground themselves back.

Using drugs or alcohol also increases the chances of self-harm as the person is less aware and has less self-control. This also leads to the injury’s being worse than intended.

Now self-harm isn’t attempted suicide, but should definitely be taken seriously, people who feel the need to Self-harm are also at a higher chance of suicidal thoughts, and may grow into actions.

Of course no matter how long a person has been using Self-harm as a coping mechanism it can always be treated using Psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy, and Dialectical behavioral therapy. A doctor can also provide medication.

What do you do if you notice someone is self-harming? Whether it’s a family member, a friend, if you notice frequent bandages, or long sleeves in hot weather it’s possible the person could be trying to hide scarring. Even though it’s a hard thing to do ask them about it, and don’t be dismissive saying something like “Even though I don’t fully understand, I am here for you” Even this little act can prove useful, and give someone a little more willpower to quit and seek treatment.

THE REFEED
By: Hope Thiesse
Tags: Health, Fitness, Cheat Day, Cutting, Diet

Spring Break 2019 is my story and I’m sticking to it. Relaxation mode was in full effect an I decided to treat myself to a refeed! A refeed is a break in your physique cut that is like a cheat meal. Typically a refeed is only a day, but I know that eating healthy and making it to the gym during the week would be challenging, so I decided to have a refeed week. Now, I didn’t completely ditch the gym and healthy eating, but I did splurge a bit. I ate some of the foods that I have been really craving lately. For example, I went to Benihana and had my favorite fried rice, I went to Monterey and has my favorite cinnamon rolls, I made a pancake breakfast with my boyfriend, and I had popcorn and my favorite candy which is sweet tart ropes! I enjoyed this food so much and the refeed was totally worth it! I made time during the week to get in some quick but high-impact workouts.

During this time, instead of feeling guilty for treating myself, I felt proud that I had worked hard enough to allow myself to have this refeed. Having a positive attitude and positive body image is something I am really trying to focus on, so having this positive attitude instead of a guilty feeling really helped me realize how much I have grown throughout my fitness journey and I am really grateful to be able to have learned how to love myself in this way. I also have such a great support system like my mom and boyfriend who always reassure me that I am making progress and push me to be my best. At the same time, they helped me feel deserving of my refeed and confident with myself.
Summer 2019 Body: Loading…
By: Hope Thiesse
Tags: Fitness, Weight Loss, Cutting, Diet, Gym

Progress! I am finally noticing some real progress that I have been waiting for since I started my cut. I have motived I am getting a lot more lean, my abs have more definition, and muscles have been peeking out a bit more. What I am most excited for is the increased definition, because this means I am losing body fat. I weighed myself the other day, which is something I do not typically do because I feel that scales don’t accurately represent someone’s body. Though I do try to avoid the scale, I was pleased with the number I saw. When I finished my bulk I was 152lbs, now, 6 weeks later I am 145lbs, which means I have been consistently losing a pound a week, which id my goal and I am glad my training is reflecting it. My ultimate goal is to be 125, but I still have some ways to go.

So much of this bulking and cutting process has been a mental challenge. When I was bulking it was about me telling myself that I am not overweight, I am just trying to gain a little extra in order to gain muscle as well. Focusing on what my end goal was relied helped me get through it. No3w as I am cutting and noticing my progress, I am so thankful I didn’t give up on my bulk, even when I felt insecure about my body. However, there are some challenges with cutting as well. For example, in a bulk you eat so much, then when you start your cut you go into a caloric deficit. This leaves me feeling so hungry sometimes, but I know how to recognize if my body needs food or if it’s just bored. Also, challenges when I go out to eat have been tough. My boyfriend and I went to BJ’s to eat this weekend, and the struggle to refrain from eating the Pizzokie was immense. However, reflecting on both cycles, I am glad I have strengthened my will power to a point where I have control over the decisions I want to make regarding myself and my body in order to obtain the results I want.

Our first look a Konka TV revealed a decent entry-level picture for a very nice price. In 2021, the company promises to deliver a line of higher-end smart TVs with more accurate color thanks to quantum-dot technology. Shoppers with tight budgets will also appreciate being able to choose between the company’s current Android TV implementation and WebOS, LG’s highly regarded smart TV operating system.

Pricing was not announced.



Konka Konka’s WebOS TVs will arrive in the U.S. in the middle of spring 2021.



As far as was announced, quantum-dot color will be available only on Konka’s Q7 Pro series running Android TV. This mid-range line will come with a host of Konka’s best-foot-forward features: color gamut of more than 100 percent DCI-P3, a gaming mode, support for Google Assitant and Chromecast, and Bluetooth 5.0. Note that most Konka TVs support the latter—a nice perq for those who listen through Bluetooth headphones.

Tags: Home Tech, Cutting, Security Cameras, Home Theater

Headphones can be a nice audio upgrade over earbuds, but they can run expensive—especially if you want active noise cancellation technology. But as Black Friday approaches, we can highlight two awesome pairs from Cleer and Bose that give you immersive audio without cleaning out your wallet.



The Cleer Enduro 100 headphones are $60 on Amazon today, the cheapest we’ve ever seen them. These headphones boast an awesome feature set: In our review, we wrote, “Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, Google Fast Pair, Siri invocation, and USB-C connectivity put these headphones comfortably into state-of-the-art category.” Up to 100 hours of playback on a charge, as well as up to 13 hours of playback on a 10-minute quick charge, means you’ll be able to use these headphones all day, or even all week, without running out of battery. They also come in two different colors, “Coronado sand” and navy.



We gave the Cleer Enduro 100 headphones 4 stars out of 5 as well as an Editors’ Choice award for their awesome sound quality, packed feature set, and lengthy battery life.



Want a serious upgrade with active noise cancellation? The Bose Headphones 700 are available from B&H Photo Video for $299, down from a list price of $379. These over-ear headphones feature 11 levels of noise cancellation, so whether you’re looking to block out all sound, or keep an ear out for environmental noises, you can set the noise cancellation accordingly. Built-in Alexa and Google Assistant allow for easy hands-free voice control with one touch, while earcup controls make it even easier to take calls, navigate through music, and more. In addition, up to 20 hours of wireless battery life keep the music going all day long.



We gave the Bose 700 4 out of 5 stars, and they average 3.5 stars out of 5 across more than 750 user reviews on B&H Photo Video.

Black Urbanists Are Leading the Fight for More Inclusive Cities
Tags: Mobility, Waze, Urban Planning, Racial Justice, Technology

Understanding history to plan for the future

If you’re an urban planner or want to be an advocate for your city, you have to look back at history. “No matter where you live, there are policies that were enacted for reasons that were blatantly racist,” says Jeffers.

Highways, Butler points out, are one of the biggest culprits in racism and segregation. As cars became more popular in the 1950s, highway construction took off. In most U.S. cities, they were designed to cut through thriving Black neighborhoods, displacing thousands of people. Butler explains, “The highway system is a master class in white supremacy, segregation, and the way that white folks in power convinced so many people they were doing something for the common good.”

The impact of these policies isn’t in the past. Today, communities are reckoning with the racism embedded in the built environment, and looking for ways to rebuild equitably. One example is I-81, an elevated highway in Syracuse, New York that displaced a Black neighborhood when it was built in the 1960s. It’s slated to be torn down or rebuilt in 2022, and the city is studying how to address past injustices in the new plan.

As important as it is to understand the history of our cities and the racist policies that shaped them, it’s just as important, Jeffers says, to “be excited about how reforming them for the future can add more people and bring up the prosperity of everyone in the area you live in.”

She points to Tysons Corner, the largest shopping center in the D.C. area, as an example. “It’s being retrofitted into a place where people can get to transportation more easily, and the assumption that if people aren’t driving there, they’re taking trains or buses.” Becoming a major metro stop has opened up access to the shops and businesses to more people.

And now come the autonomous scooters
By: Amador Palacios
Tags: Mobility

It seems that they are the novelty of citizen mobility systems.

After the scooters have appeared in almost every city, in some with barely any control, to try to facilitate citizen mobility, they now announce a new modality of autonomous scooters.

They are similar to the previous ones but with three wheels so that they can be better kept in balance by themselves, and have the peculiarity that they can move themselves from one location to another.

There are several companies that advertise them and one of them is called Tortoise (founded by a former Uber manager) that apart from having possibilities for autonomy, is also operated by remote control.

The two main problems of rental scooters are:

- The cost of changing the batteries and their repairs

- The problem of being located in places far from those demanded by customers

And these are the problems that try to avoid this type of scooters, since they can go alone (or with remote control help) to the place where the customers are or to the place where they can change (or recharge) the battery more easily.

To give us an idea, one of the largest rental companies of this type of device is Bird, and in 2018 half of all its income was spent paying the companies that charged the batteries and 15% to the ones that repaired the devices. And as far as I know, it has not yet been able to give benefits despite having thousands of scooters in circulation in different cities.

The rental of scooters is a very difficult business, and any improvement that helps them reduce their costs can mean for those companies a good oxygen balloon in their income statements.

Until recently, many start-ups of this type found investors who put significant amounts of money waiting for a promising future.

But that is ceasing to be so. After the fiasco of Wework, Uber, and other similar ones that have been operational for years and without making money, investors are being more cautious and it seems that they begin to prioritize the results over the siren songs of a wonderful future.

We will see how the people of Tortoise and others like them are doing.

I do not see it very clearly, because the more complex an appliance is, the more expensive it is to manufacture and maintain.

But on the other hand, scooters with adequate legislation can be a good means of sustainable citizen mobility.

Time will tell.
