Harmful habits that damage the mind
Today, as every field is becoming more perfect, harmful habits are also increasing. At the same time, the only thing that is required from humanity is awareness, vigilance, and at the same time, not obeying the ego.
As the other side of the coin, as new technologies are created, various flaws and dangers are increasing. Accordingly, efforts are being made to ensure security.
Nowadays digital technologies are the most developing field. For example, we can receive and transmit information on a global scale through social networks. We can make different friends, have multiple online achievements, communicate with loved ones from a distance through lighting-fast communication, in this regard, earn money from home through various business methods, and gain a profession through useful sites and applications.
We can find useful aspects. But despite this, various fake clone sites, programs, dangerous streaming channels, hackers are poisoning people's brains and forcing them to band their heads against the wall.
If we give an example, the above situations cannot be avoided by every person. In this case, a person should not be a slave to ego, he should be careful. At the same time, people suffered a lot, some managed to get out of this way, and some did not.
Those who have received appropriate training are working to ensure security and raise awareness to fight against these factors.
That's why people are advised to always use social networks wisely, check their legitimacy, and not lose security. When this is followed, I think you will have a peaceful and enjoyable life.
When I was a kid that was our dog. She sat in her place after school and kept me company, but when I was sick she knew and came to sit beside me. At other times I let her sit on the couch with a pillow which wasn’t allowed but if nobody was around I let her and she loved it. Kelly would wag her tail a lot and loved to see people, guests. I think back at her with good memories and sitting with her on say, those winter days and looking out the window at the snow falling onto the world.
Poocho (the Tender and Instant Family Member)
He was a rescue and already had some years. A great old lab. But he had a good run as it were with us and was provided a nice home with two parents and kids, three kids. He went camping with us, and for walks in the local trails and ravines. Basically he was perfect in that he caused no trouble and just wanted to be around us. He had a comfy old chair he sat on and liked to sleep on. Sometimes people would ask why we kept that chair but they didn’t understand. I am happy that we here gave him a nice few years before he had to go the great dog fields in the sky.
Wolfe (the High Spirit and a Best Friend)
A special dog in all ways. A rescue husky mix. They said collie-husky. Long legs. A certain aloofness he was grey and white and black and everyone stopped to look at him. Fast. Smart. Interesting. Unique. He is running somewhere up there and having a good time. Down here we certainly went far and often to fields and forests.
Tessa (all Bark and Sits in my Heart)
Tessa recently passed but I am glad she is not in any more pain though I and everyone miss her and always shall. She was a companion that had the truest loyalty and heart. She was always a sort of old lady in that she didn’t want to go far exploring though did like to walk. In the hey-day she played and walked with her brother Wolfe and we did everything we could each day to have a healthy and good life.
Indy (Handsome and Tara’s Birthday Gift)
Indy is a beautiful light hair collie, long and handsome, and Tara’s dog. He likes everyone though. He is very sensitive and his coat is wonderful and a bit longer than the others. He likes to run fast and take care of his younger sister Luna. Josh brought him home one September for Tara’s birthday and he fit in instantly and it’s been great.
Luna (the Looney that we All Love)
Luna we went and got from Barrie Ontario, and she is half husky, the colour white, short hair, and has a strong spirit to say the least. She is afraid of nothing and likes to swim, play, wrestle, but also cuddle and just chill. She keeps everybody on their toes and is a great, great member of our family.
Nova (a Spirit Strong)
Nova is our niece Diane’s dog. She lives with us right now because our niece does. I love Nova and she sometimes follows me around. She is a wonderful dog, who has learned to go to the forest trails with us. She isn’t crazy about going in the water, but went into a little nice cold stream briefly today and seemed okay with it. Nova is a black dog, and her coat seems to shine. She has a kind and inquisitive look in her eyes as she looks at you and the world.

The Light Reaching Out
Night shades
compressing into the corner windows
setting the scene
blurring of dreams
walls and ceilings
slow leaning inward
beyond the outside buildings
dimly lit
someone
quietly whistling
much has happened
much will continue
cancer webs hanging from the roofs
so many marked for the sting
political pillows given away freely
spider roots
the masses shadow banned
but more are beginning not to blink
open windows here and there
candle lights glowing in closets
a shot sounding
and the whistling snuffed
thoughts shrink
stillness overwhelming
but there's always some that break
loose
lips moving
prayers filling hollow ears
so many repeating
as when a child
the longness of centuries
giving a tune to the heart
silence
seized
light opening their windows
as the whistling resumes
stronger than ever before.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS AFFECTING THE YOUTH OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Abstract: The problem of unemployment is the biggest problem that afflicts the youth of Uzbekistan. About 700,000 young people are unemployed in Uzbekistan. This is 14.9 percent of all young people of Uzbekistan. This article also covers unemployment, which is one of the biggest problems that plagues young people in the 21st century.
Key words: Unemployment, research, jobs, economy, resources.
Employment of the population is an important factor in economic development and development of human potential. Ensuring employment of the population is a necessary condition for its reproduction. Because people's standard of living, the selection, training, retraining of personnel for economic sectors and branches, and their qualification improvement, employment, material and psychological support of the unemployed depend on the employment of the population. Therefore, the research of socio-economic and organizational aspects of ensuring the employment of the population is of special importance as a socio-economic problem of today.
Studies show that about 90% of the unemployed in the labor market feel the need for assistance in finding a decent job. Decent jobs are socially and economically desirable jobs that are interesting and affordable to workers. In order to have a decent job, the labor force must be more competitive in the labor market. As a result of the rational organization and modernization of production or management in the organization, there is a shortage of personnel. Internal labor market by timely change of workplace, retraining, suspension of admission to vacant positions, application of socially oriented selection to layoffs, reduction of personnel or planning of admission requires regulation.
Providing employment to the population is one of the most important aspects of human social development, and it reveals the ways to meet the problems related to labor issues and the supply and demand for labor. Employment is a socio-economic relationship in which people engage in socially beneficial work, regardless of where they work. The employment relationship is a socio-economic indicator that shows how many and to what extent able-bodied people participate in socially useful work.
The employment category of the population is not limited to only economic components. Employment is primarily a social relationship. Therefore, sociality as an eternal, directly occurring phenomenon is its main feature.
Since employment appears as a socio-economic phenomenon, it can be described as follows. Employment is an activity related to the satisfaction of personal and social needs of citizens, which does not conflict with legal documents, and which brings them salary or income.

“I Hear Something You Can’t Hear” Exploring the Subjective Experienceof Mental Illness and Resiliency in “The Quiet Room”: A Book Review
by Jacques Fleury
[Originally published in Oddball Magazine & Fleury’s book You Are Enough: The Journey to Accepting Your Authentic Self]
Just Before the Darkness
Imagine a world where darkness swallows darkness and swallows more darkness. Picture a world of shadows and obscurity where dogs look like wolves and a world seemingly crumbling around you waiting to be rebuilt. The world of which I speak is that of Lori Schiller’s in her ghastly and chilling book “THE QUIET ROOM: A JOURNEY OUT OF THE TORMENTS OF MADNESS.”
The book details Lori’s gruesome tale of the illness experience of the disease of schizophrenia. The illness experience differs from the disease in that it focuses more on the day-to-day effects of the disease, how it permeates over all aspects of one’s life. By this I mean how it can affect family relationships, friendships, career and general interaction with the inner and outer world.
In the following article, I will focus on Lori’s resiliency and using aspects of the analogous theories of Carl Rogers, Alfred Adler and Carl Jung and existential ideologies to illustrate the point that in the midst of immense strife, how an individual manage to strive for purpose and meaning in their lives.
At the beginning of the book, Lori wrote “I hear something you can’t hear…” She went on to write about how in the brevity before the darkness, how bright and beautiful the world seemed.
She explained that during her seventieth year at summer camp, how “The Lake seemed more blue…the trees of the Catskill Mountains that tinged our camp took on a deeper green than I remembered….”
She goes on to say that she was “…overwhelmed by what life had to offer.” And that she “could not run fast enough, could not swim far enough, could not stay up late enough…” She described herself as “…energetic…happy… bubbly [and] a friend to everyone.”
However, things soon changed for Lori. She mentioned a sense of doom “…settled around [her].” The camp that she once defined as beautiful became a thing of disgust, “…a thing of evil…” So began her tragic journey on the hard and often satanic and precarious road to mental health recovery. Lori stated that during one of her episodes, she did not sleep, stayed in her room and declined to go to class. She was engulfed in “…the blackness of [her] depression.”
Lori’s father, Marvin Schiller, refused to accept the fact that she was gravely ill. Something very common in the afflicted persons themselves and their families as well. The issue of stigma is of course one of the major motivators in this scenario. Lori’s dad wrote, “I didn’t want my daughter to be stigmatized by some temporary rash act.” Mr. Shiller thought that it was his fault that Lori was sick.
He wrote that when he was studying psychology back in the 1950’s, the cause of mental illness was determined to be “…a faulty upbringing.” Of course, as he stated, there were other theories.
For example, the Freudian model which focused on the intrapersonal (within oneself) ideologies that the id, ego and superego were the root causes of everything. Carl Jung’s concepts of unconscious myths were also considered, but most of the population believed that “…early life experiences…were behind mental disorders” Marvin Schiller wrote.
Today most of us know the root causes of mental illness operates under a more holistic framework in that it has both a biological (nature) and environmental (nurture) origins. As Lori strived to survive her illness, some of her actions made it painfully obvious that she had a defiant need to transcend her “voices” or demons that threatened her very being. She struggles to grab some remnants of sanity in the midst of the insanity of her ailment. She felt that she was only a shadow of who she once was and thought that she would never return to a normal life again.
However, she was determined to keep trying. Resiliency is one of the core coping strategies people often use during intense periods of trauma and strife.
Hope and the Possibility for Ongoing Recovery
Lori has hoped for something more than just being given a raw deal in the diagnosis of a disease.
She foresaw a future decorated with options and opportunities. The following theories directly coincide with these innate needs and desires in the social context.
Unlike Freud, who focuses on the “intrapersonal” or “within oneself” concepts, Alfred Adler, Carl Jung and Carl Rogers all offer the more practical, I think, approach in looking at the individual in relation to a more “holistic” context of their lives, particularly Jung and Adler’s ideology involving spirituality which I will refer to later.
Adler proposes a “holistic wholeness” ideology. One of the major life tasks he purports is finding where one fits in society, which includes vocation, contribution and spirituality.
Jung proposes a similar concept of “individuation”. He describes it as “…developing wholeness through integrating all the various parts of the psyche. However, Yung “…ignored the negative, maladaptive side of human nature.” Nonetheless, in modern times, an increased interest in “human consciousness and human potential” has catapulted a resurrection of curiosity in Jung’s ideas.
Carl Rogers also makes a similar point in that he sees the individual as heading in the path of “…wholeness, integration, [essentially] and a unified life.” He believes that consciousness is engaging in the broader “…creative, formative tendency.” By this he means a “directional” or “actualizing tendency”, a tendency on the way to achievement, on the way to actualization that entails not only the preservation but also the improvement of the individual.
Lori made many repeated unsuccessful attempts to find and keep employment in her community. She persevered until she was able to stabilize and made small steps to getting back to the work force and feeling like a contributing member of her community and essentially her world.
She found some solace in the use of prayer. Both Jung and Adler promote the idea of “spirituality” as a way to mental health recovery, and I completely agree. I know that the power of prayer, patience and perseverance have helped many on the path of recovery from mental illness. Existentialist ideations dictate “life is meaningless or meaningful as one experiences it.”
Furthermore, it defines “…regret in existentialist terms, is grief and loss over a life not lived. The best way to deal with …regret is to discover what is worth dying for is that is worth living for.” So by Lori risking her life to try the then new drug Clozapine, she decided to risk dying so that she could live a fruitful life. She found meaning in suffering in that it has broadened her perspectives and enhanced her as a human being. For some, 90% of recovery can be attributed to the integration of spirituality (i.e. activities in their communities) and 10% medicinal (drug therapy).
In The Quiet Room, Lori Shiller wrote that her successful recovery process was due to the love and support that she received from family, friends and her general community; which have essentially put her on the track back from mental hell to mental health.
