The Game of Thrones Finale Wasnt Perfect, But It Made the Season a Hell of a Lot Better. After six episodes that have been incredible, infuriating, revealing, confusing, and epic, last night’s Game of Thrones finale had a great many things to answer for. They were the answers needed to help recalibrate the show’s uneven seventh season so it ended up greater than the sum of its inconsistent parts—even if that doesn’t equal the show’s best seasons. “The Wolf and the Dragon” had its own problems to be sure—one in particular made me want to actually scream in irritation—the main one of which was its surprising lack of surprises. If you’ve been paying a decent amount of attention, you didn’t have to hunt out hacker leaks to form a pretty good idea of what was going to go down in the season finale, but for me, that somehow didn’t make it any less satisfying. If you’re a book reader, you know how the show, having advanced beyond George R. R. Martin’s novels, has been partially satiating our hunger by sporadically giving us the scenes we’ve guessed and hoped were coming. The finale was packed with these scenes, like a Thanksgiving dinner—you know what the meal is going to consist of, but it’s still a feast. It began with a meeting—The Meeting, really—where most all the show’s principal characters came together in the Dragonpit of King’s Landing for Jon Snow’s almost certainly unfeasible attempt to convince Cersei Lannister to help fight the White Walkers and their army of wights. There were three daises set up on the floor of the shattered arena where the Targaryens once imprisoned their dragons. The people sitting in them are as follows: • Cersei, Jaime, Qyburn, Euron Greyjoy, and the Mountain• Jon Snow, Davos, and Brienne• Daenerys, Tyrion, Jorah, Missandei, Varys, and Theon. And, after several tense moments and several even more tense conversations, there is one person in the center of the all: The Hound, who carries a giant chest by himself. 2 Cows and a Chicken. by Steve Skelton Subscribers: 19612 No one in town -- neither the real estate developer nor the relatives -- was happy when Farmer Ray. In Tristram Geary’s EchoBack, a strange virus strikes that enables the infected to time travel, but only in very short bursts—mere seconds into the past or. When he opens it, nothing happens—no movement, so sound. And when he kicks the chest over, the wight inside bursts out growling, and runs right for Cersei. In terms of showing the woman who currently sits on the Iron Throne of the threat that lies beyond the Wall, it honestly couldn’t have worked out any better if they planned it (and it almost makes you wonder if they did). Sandor Clegane yanks the wight’s chain back at the last second, so Cersei gets the most horrifying look possible. When the wight’s attention is focused on him, Sandor cuts the wight in two at the waist, allowing Cersei to see both halves trying to crawl towards someone to attack them. When the Hound cuts off a hand, Jon Snow picks it up to demonstrate the wights’ weakness to fire—then stabs the torso with a dragonglass dagger, demonstrating its other weakness. All in all, Jon makes his case—so effectively, in fact, that Euron asks Jon if the dead can swim. When he answers no, Euron says (and I’m paraphrasing), “I. Am. Outta here. ” He announces that he and his fleet are heading back to the Iron Islands, and leaving everyone on the mainland to die. Cersei also recognizes the horrific threat the living face, but she agrees to Daenerys’ request for a truce, and that she’ll send her forces north to fight with Winterfell and Daenerys’ Unsullied and Dothraki to fight the enemy of all of them. If Jon Snow, King of the North, agrees to stay up north and at no point take his soldiers anywhere near the eventual war between herself and Daenerys. Jon explains he can’t do that… because he’s already bent the knee to Daenerys. And Cersei storms out of the Dragonpit. Jon tells the truth, and dooms humanity. It was as infuriating a moment as anything I’ve ever seen on Game of Thrones. Oh, I know Jon has his honor, and his desire to always do the right thing has gotten him into trouble before, trouble that includes being murdered by his own men. But this moment… this is beyond the pale. Knowing the truth would end the nascent truce, negating everything they’d worked so hard for, rendering the death of Dany’s dragon meaningless, and indirectly consigning god knows how many inhabitants of Westeros to death, Jon tells the truth anyway. Davos is pissed. Tyrion is pissed. Daenerys is extra pissed. Jon gives a pretty little speech about how lying is bad and people need to keep their word and blah blah, which might have had an ounce of weight to it if heal so hadn’t been talking for seasons about how the war against the White Walkers was the only thing that matters, nothing else—including Jon’s goddamn honor. Everyone on Team Daenerys and Team Stark knows it, but Jon doesn’t. It’s a decision so stupid, even for a Stark, it feels like it almost erases everyone’s development over the course of the entire series, like it reset everyone back to the beginning of season one. But the worst thing about it isn’t how dumb it is, but because it’s so selfish—a truth told for his own self- righteousness and self- image, and nothing else, because it certainly doesn’t benefit anyone else. In fact, it leads directly to Tyrion making his own terrible decision: To go see Cersei, the sister who’s tried to have him killed at least twice (that he knows of ), by himself and convince her to return to negotiations. Last week, in my recap of “Beyond of Wall,” I used the headline “Game of Thrones Is at Its Best and Worst Right Now. ” I was referring to the show’s powerful ability to give us amazing, epic fantasy scenes unlike anyone has ever before tried of television. What I wasn’t referring to was the show’s original strength—giving us characters of depth, but also scenes between these characters, usually just talking to one another, that made them and Westeros rich and real and so captivating that even people who think stories about dragons and made- up places are dumb have gotten completely invested in the series. Tyrion’s reunion with Cersei is one of those scenes, and, somewhat surprisingly, powered by the characters’ honesty wth each other. Cersei’s still mad that Tyrion killed their father, but more upset that he left the Lannister family so vulnerable that their enemies felt bold enough to kill Myrcella and wrest control of King’s Landing from her, eventually leading to Tommen’s suicide. Tyrion explains the reason he follows Daenerys is because she actually wants to make the world a better place, while Cersei only cares about her ever- shrinking list of who she considers family. Tyrion baits Cersei and tells her to have the Mountain, looming behind him, to kill him (when Cersei doesn’t, he pours himself a large glass of wine). Cersei reveals she’s pregnant. The two will never love each other, but they end up making their own sort of truce together. Or so it seems. “The Wolf and the Dragon” is filled with these sorts of wonderful, character- driven scenes, more than the entire rest of the season put together. It’s as if season seven was sprinting through the plot for the first six episodes, in order to make sure it had plenty of time for these scenes after virtually all the main characters got together in one place. I’d argue Tyrion and Cersei’s reunion is the highlight of the episode, but here’s a few more of them, some large, some small, all gratifying: Brienne discovers the Hound is still alive, and the two of them share a small smile over what an ass- kicker Arya has become. Tyrion gets a few moments with Bronn (reminding him of his eternal offer to him: “I’ll pay double”) and his former squire Podrick. The Hound reunites with his undead big brother the Mountain—“You’re uglier than I am now”—and postpones Clegane bowl to another day, although he declares the day is indeed coming. Euron waits until the meeting starts and immediately interrupts to call out Theon, announcing he’ll kill Yara if Theon doesn’t surrender, annoying literally everyone else in the Dragonpit.

The answer is that multicultural competencies are more. It is unfair for critics to say. Multicultural competencies are not just additive. Multicultural competencies are critical to the therapeutic. Just as much as one. The research and scholarship on multicultural competencies and orientations toward diversity and multiculturalism generally show that helping professionals who are culturally competent and who address diversity issues (e. Smith Trimble, 2. Certainly there are many factors contributing to positive therapy outcomes such as the therapist’s perceived competency, ability to develop a working alliance and relationship, and the client’s motivation and participation, but generally the results of several meta- analyses suggests positive relationships between multicultural competency and client perceptions. The better able a therapist or helping professional is able to address diversity and multicultural factors in counseling, the better the therapist is also able to reconcile tensions and conflicts in the relationship that may arise from diverse worldviews, and the more likely the client will not only stay in therapy but benefit from counseling (Smith Trimble, 2.

Multicultural competencies and orientations are also helpful for the counselor in developing a greater awareness of oneself and oneself as a cultural being in an interaction with another cultural being. Simply stated, multiculturalism also provides the counselor with a framework to better understand cultural issues that may impact the therapy relationship. For instance, a client may not even be aware of herhis racial bias against working with an African American counselor. Instead, the client may use “proxy” terms to discuss herhis dissatisfaction or resistance to therapy such as questions about qualifications, payment, or experience. For the counselor some of these concerns may be explained by therapeutic resistance and also the client’s racism. The counselor benefits from a dual exploration of these issues with the client.

Background and aims: The primary objective of the present study was to investigate which cell- phone activities are associated with cell- phone addiction. No research to date has studied the full- range of cell- phone activities, and their relationship to cell- phone addiction, across male and female cell- phone users. Methods: College undergraduates (N 1. Participants completed the questionnaire as part of their class requirements. The questionnaire took 1. Results: Findings revealed cell- phone activities that are associated significantly with cell- phone addiction (e. Instagram, Pinterest), as well as activities that one might logically assume would be associated with this form of addiction but are not (e. Internet use and Gaming). Cell- phone activities that drive cell- phone addiction (CPA) were found to vary considerably across male and female cell- phone users. Although a strong social component drove CPA for both males and females, the specific activities associated with CPA differed markedly. Conclusions: CPA amongst the total sample is largely driven by a desire to connect socially. The activities found to be associated with CPA, however, differed across the sexes. As the functionality of cell- phones continues to expand, addiction to this seemingly indispensable piece of technology becomes an increasingly realistic possibility. Future research must identify the activities that push cell- phone use beyond its “; tipping point” where it crosses the line from a helpful tool to one that undermines our personal well- being and that of others. Keywords: cell- phones, addiction, gender, technology. INTRODUCTIONAmericans have had a long- held fascination with technology. This fascination continues unabated into the 2. US consumers are spending an ever increasing amount of time with technology (Griffiths, 1. Brenner, 2. 01. 2; Roberts Pirog, 2. First, it was the radio, then the telephone and the TV, followed quickly by the Internet. The current- day fascination with the cell- phone (e. Griffiths, 2. 00. Nowhere is this fascination with technology more intense than in young adults – college students in particular (Massimini Peterson, 2. Shambare, Rugimbana Zhowa, 2. College students commonly view their cell- phone as an integral part of who they are, andor as an important extension of themselves (Belk, 1. Present- day cell- phones are seen as critical in maintaining social relationships and conducting the more mundane exigencies of everyday life (Junco Cole- Avent, 2. Junco Cotton, 2. Many young adults today cannot envision an existence without cell- phones. Research suggests that media use has become such a significant part of student life that it is “invisible” and students do not necessarily realize their level of dependence on andor addiction to their cell- phones (Moeller, 2. A large scale survey of 2,5. US college students found that respondents reported spending one hour and 4. Facebook (Junco, 2. And, 6. 0 percent of US college students admit that they may be addicted to their cell- phone (Mc. Allister, 2. 01. 1). This increasing dependence on cell- phones coincides with the recent emergence of the Smart Phone. Sixty- seven percent of young adults 1. Smart Phone compared to 5. Cell- phones are quickly replacing the lap- top or desk- top computer as the preferred method of accessing the Internet. A full 5. 6 percent of Internet users access the web via their cell- phones. This figure has nearly doubled from only three years ago. Seventy- seven percent of 1. Internet (PEW Internet: Mobile, 2. An increasing reliance on cell- phones among young adults and college students may signal the evolution of cell- phone use from a habit to an addiction. Although the concept of addiction has multiple definitions, traditionally it has been described as the repeated use of a substance despite the negative consequences suffered by the addicted individual (Alavi et al. , 2. More recently, the notion of addiction has been generalized to include behaviors like gambling, sex, exercise, eating, Internet, and cell- phone use (Griffiths, 1. Roberts Pirog, 2. Any entity that can produce a pleasurable sensation has the potential of becoming addictive (Alavi et al. , 2. Similar to substance addiction, behavioral addiction is best understood as a habitual drive or compulsion to continue to repeat a behavior despite its negative impact on one’s well- being (Roberts Pirog, 2. Any oft repeated behavior that triggers “specific reward effects through biochemical processes in the body do have an addictive potential” (Alavi et al. , 2. Loss of control over the behavior is an essential element of any addiction. Griffiths (1. 99. Griffiths, 2. 00. As alluded to above, cell- phone addiction appears to be the latest technological addiction to emerge. As the cost of cell- phone use drops and the functionality of these devices expands, cell- phones have ensconced themselves into the everyday lives of consumers around the globe. Behavioral addictions, according to Griffiths (1. Based on research aimed at better understanding cell- phone addiction, Shambare et al. Importantly, cell- phone addiction does not happen overnight, and, like most forms of behavioral addiction, occurs via a process (Martin et al. , 2. Addiction often begins with seemingly benign behavior (i. Internet andor cell- phone use, etc. ) that, via a variety of psychological, biophysical, andor environment triggers, “can become harmful and morph into an addiction” (Grover et al. , 2. Desarbo Edwards (1. The “high” experienced when shopping may slowly morph into a chronic coping strategy in the face of stress and compel the affected individual to shop and spend money in an attempt to ease discomfort. In the case of cell- phones, such an addiction may begin when an initially benign behavior with little or no harmful consequences – such as owning a cell- phone for safety purposes – begins to evoke negative consequences and the user becomes increasingly dependent upon its use. Owning a cell- phone for purposes of safety, for instance, eventually becomes secondary to sending and receiving text messages or visiting online social networking sites; eventually, the cell- phone user may engage in increasingly dangerous behaviors such as texting while driving. Ultimately, the cell- phone user reaches a “tipping point” where heshe can no longer control their cell- phone use or the negative consequences from its over- use. The process of addiction suggests a distinction between liking and wanting. In other words, the cell- phone user goes from liking hisher cell- phone to wanting it. This switch from liking to wanting is referred to by Grover et al. This tipping point signals a shift from a previously benign everyday behavior that may have been pleasurable with few harmful consequences to an addictive behavior where wanting (physically andor psychologically) has replaced liking as the motivating factor behind the behavior.

Who Owns The Media The 6 Monolithic Corporations That Control Almost Everything We Watch, Hear And Read. Watch We Are The Strange Cartoon Stream BackgroundBack in 1. 98. 3, approximately 5. United States. Today, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful media corporations. These corporate behemoths control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day. They own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites. Sadly, most Americans don’t even stop to think about who is feeding them the endless hours of news and entertainment that they constantly ingest. Most Americans don’t really seem to care about who owns the media. But they should. The truth is that each of us is deeply influenced by the messages that are constantly being pounded into our heads by the mainstream media. The average American watches 1. In fact, most Americans begin to feel physically uncomfortable if they go too long without watching or listening to something. Sadly, most Americans have become absolutely addicted to news and entertainment and the ownership of all that news and entertainment that we crave is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands each year. The six corporations that collectively control U. S. media today are Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. , CBS Corporation and NBC Universal. Together, the “big six” absolutely dominate news and entertainment in the United States. But even those areas of the media that the “big six” do not completely control are becoming increasingly concentrated. For example, Clear Channel now owns over 1. United States. Companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are increasingly dominating the Internet. But it is the “big six” that are the biggest concerns. When you control what Americans watch, hear and read you gain a great deal of control over what they think. They don’t call it “programming” for nothing. Back in 1. U. S. media. But since that time, power over the media has rapidly become concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people…. In 1. 98. 3, fifty corporations dominated most of every mass medium and the biggest media merger in history was a $3. In 1. 98. 7, the fifty companies had shrunk to twenty- nine. In 1. 99. 0, the twenty- nine had shrunk to twenty three. In 1. 99. 7, the biggest firms numbered ten and involved the $1. Disney- ABC deal, at the time the biggest media merger ever.

These gigantic media corporations do not exist to objectively tell the truth to the American people. Rather, the primary purpose of their existence is to make money. These gigantic media corporations are not going to do anything to threaten their relationships with their biggest advertisers (such as the largest pharmaceutical companies that literally spend billions on advertising), and one way or another these gigantic media corporations are always going to express the ideological viewpoints of their owners. Fortunately, an increasing number of Americans are starting to wake up and are realizing that the mainstream media should not be trusted. According to a new poll just released by Gallup, the number of Americans that have little to no trust in the mainstream media (5. That is one reason why we have seen the alternative media experience such rapid growth over the past few years. The mainstream media has been losing credibility at a staggering rate, and Americans are starting to look elsewhere for the truth about what is really going on. Do you think that anyone in the mainstream news would actually tell you that the Federal Reserve is bad for America or that we are facing a horrific derivatives bubble that could destroy the entire world financial system Do you think that anyone in the mainstream media would actually tell you the truth about the deindustrialization of America or the truth about the voracious greed of Goldman Sachs Sure there are a few courageous reporters in the mainstream media that manage to slip a few stories past their corporate bosses from time to time, but in general there is a very clear understanding that there are simply certain things that you just do not say in the mainstream news. But Americans are becoming increasingly hungry for the truth, and they are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the dumbed down pablum that is passing as “hard hitting news” these days. So what do you think about the state of the mainstream media Please feel free to leave a comment with your opinion below…. Facebooks New Watch Tab Does Not Look Like a You. Tube Killer at All. On Wednesday, Facebook announced the rollout of Watch, what it is calling “a new platform for shows on Facebook. ” It’s yet another foray by the social media company from the business of distributing other people’s content into producing and licensing its own, and differs from its existing video content in that it looks a lot like Netflix or You. Tube’s apps. Watch content will be “produced exclusively for it by partners,” who will take 5. That content will be spread via channels like “Most Talked About” or “What’s Making People Laugh” categories that will be determined by how users interact with it. Watch will offer both a live comment feed where users can interact with the wider Facebook audience—something that already exists with Facebook Live streams—and the ability to “participate in a dedicated Facebook Group for the show. ”Here’s a few shots of what it will look like on various formats, as shown in the press release. It definitely looks slick and polished, but even this initial glimpse hints that Watch is not the You. Tube or Snapchat killer Facebook wants it to be. Facebook’s launch programming for the new video section is, uh, not exactly the A- list talent one might think a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars could secure. It includes Nas Daily, a show from a guy who quit his job to make one- minute travel videos “together with his fans from around the world” (a preview clip is titled “We Bought 1. Burgers”); a live show where motivational speaker Gabby Bernstein will interact with Facebook users; a cooking show where children will attempt to make a recipe; and in probably Facebook’s biggest grab, one live game of Major League Baseball a week. Another show mentioned in the launch is Returning the Favor, where host Mike Rowe “finds people doing something extraordinary for their community, tells the world about it, and in turn does something extraordinary for them. ” Yet another focuses on “the passion and community of big- time high school football in Texas. ”There’s a few more interesting options, like a NASA science show, and a live Nat Geo Wild safari program. But none of this seems particularly edgy or hard- hitting. It’s the definition of safe. This is the kind of generic filler that forms so much of You. Tube’s bread and butter—but if that’s all they have lined up, what could possibly lure people from You. Tube itself, which has long been pumping out much more interesting content tailored to virtually every niche interest and community Facebook’s content strategy is almost certainly to prove functionality and its ability to drive users to the service, and then try to lure other content producers to the service. But like a number of Facebook products before it, it’s unclear why publishers would want to use the platform. For example, Facebook Live already allows publishers to stream content like protests or post- Game of Thrones commentary live to their pages. They can also push regular video content wherever they want without an exclusive deal, whether it’s Facebook, Twitter or You. Tube, and all three of these channels can be embedded elsewhere. Another goal could be to compete with Snapchat, which lots of publishers have started using to push short- form video content. But it’s not clear how Watch will get those users to return by replicating some of Snapchat’s functionality, especially since the latter company’s video content tends to be in reality or unscripted formats which seem nicely in tune with its overall aesthetic. This looks a lot like Facebook’s attempt to push publishers into the same kind of walled garden they built with Instant Articles. Large sections of the media were spooked it was a prelude to Facebook choking off traffic to other websites—why would Facebook let you link out when they can force you to live in the garden, right —but the concept has stalled somewhat, as Instant wasn’t driving enough additional traffic to offset its lower advertising revenue. Facebook has a tendency to build platforms it just loses interest in. Instant is still around, but in a diminished role as Facebook tweaked its algorithm to drive users to friends’ posts, video content and most recently another story format to compete with Snapchat. In the past few days, it’s killed off its standalone Facebook Groups app and Lifestage, a “high schoolers only” Snapchat knockoff that ended up ranked 1,3. App Store’s social media category. It’s certainly possible Watch will help Facebook swallow more and more of the internet into its ever- expanding gullet. But supplying a nice- looking video platform does not automatically create demand, and Facebook has repeatedly stumbled to create a business model that will keep both users and publishers inside of it instead of clicking out. We’ll see. No word on whether Donald Trump’s “real news” program will get a slot, but we doubt it. Correction: Wednesday, not Tuesday. |
