Dulquer Salmaan to debut in Bollywood with Irrfan Khan and Mithila Palkar
While he played the quintessential chocolate boy in OK Kanmani, the original version of the Aditya Roy Kapur, Shraddha Kapoor’s romantic drama Ok Jaanu, Dulquer Salmaan is now gearing up for Bollywood. Born to Malayalam superstar Mammootty, the South actor is all set to play the lead in Ronnie Screwvala’s upcoming production.
The yet to be titled film will also see Mithila Palkar who gained fame with the TV show ‘Girl In The City’ and also web series, playing the female lead. She was earlier seen in the Nikhil Advani film Katti Batti. Besides the duo, it will star Irrfan Khan, although the character details of all of them are currently kept under wraps. The said film also marks the directorial debut of Akarsh Khurana with it being scripted by Hussain Dalal.
Reportedly, Dulquer Salmaan wasn’t the first choice for the role. Abhishek Bachchan was initially approached to play the part but it seems that the actor couldn’t allot dates because the schedule was clashing with his other film, JP Dutta’s Paltan which has already gone on floors.
As for the story of this untitled film, we hear that it is about a road trip of Dulquer Salmaan and Irrfan Khan who play friends. According to recent reports, the film is scheduled to go on floor by the end of August and it will extensively be shot in Kerala.

Wolfenfiiiiiiiine
Game: Wolfenstein 2: The New ColossusDeveloper: Machine GamesPublisher: Bethesda SoftworksReviewed on: PS4 (Review copy provided)
Captain ‘BJ’ Blazkowicz, star of Wolfenstein’s newest reboot, is not a great protagonist on paper. He has an annoyingly square head, like a child’s drawing of Superman, and consistently speaks so gruffly as to be borderline unintelligible, as if words just get tangled up in all his testosterone. It’s like Solid Snake and Christian Bale’s Batman had a really phlegmy child. He’s nothing new. Big, handsome white guys with guns and difficulty conveying emotions are not original in the world of videogames.
Ol’ BJ has one redeeming feature though. He properly hates Nazis, like an X-rated Captain American pre-heel turn. I don’t mean ‘nazi’ in the way your mate Karen from Twitter uses it to describe everyone who disagrees with her because she once followed a vegan account for a week and thinks she’s basically a communist for voting Labour. I don’t even mean a pejorative term for people who point out you can’t use basic English so you try to cover up for it by comparing your corrector to the literal third reich. No, I mean proper Nazis.
It used to always be that Nazis were a pretty stock villain. You knew where you were with a Nazi. Even Britain, a country that can’t make a single decision that doesn’t send us further down shit creek at the moment, used to be united behind one thing; Nazis are shit, mate. Recently things got a bit muddied, though. Nazis got twitter and tiki torches and started acting like they were real people who should be listened to. Some people got confused by this; are Nazis human after all? Should we hear them out?
But Nazis aren’t for listening to, lads. Nazis are for punching.
Enter Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. Much of the build-up to this has been Bethesda happily trolling alt-right mouth-breathers online through their promo materials and trailers, so much so that these stings may have even stolen some attention away from the game itself. The rebooted Wolfenstein series is not only here to remind everyone what Nazis are for, though. I fully expected predecessor The New Order to be a by-numbers FPS, like CoD: Steampunk Edition. What I found instead was a game full of fun ideas and set-pieces with a strong identity, trying it’s best to do something with a fairly tired genre. Picking up directly after this, The New Colossus sees our man BJ not feeling exactly 100%. He’s frail, literally in a wheelchair at one point, and having quite a serious think about death and that.
I want to start with the less enjoyable parts of the game. This is because Wolfy 2 is indeed (spoiler alert) a great experience worthy of attention; a single player game (something that’s practically on the endangered species list these days) that isn’t demanding any money from you during the gameplay, and with a strong story and excellent characters.
First of all… the game is hard. Some of this is undoubtedly intentional; Blazkowicz believes he is on his way out from the off, and he’s a weaker soldier for it for a significant part of the game. Find yourself in a room full of Nazis and it’s easy to come a cropper unless you’re super careful with cover, which is at odds with the game constantly urging you on to be gung-ho and batter every Nazi as soon as they appear. The aforementioned wheelchair section, in which your turning speed is reduced and you’re not able to hold a gun ready at all times, is the FIRST SECTION. At least give us a warm-up here, guys. Without ruining things, he does regain some of his old strength in later parts, but by then the enemies have gotten a little stronger as well.
Some of those enemies are far tougher than they have any right to be, too. Despite wearing minimal armour, some standard-issue assailants can take a serious amount of bullets before they take a nap, while some of the bigger behemoths are total bullet sponges. Add into that the airborne drones that dart around unpredictably during every mass brawl and things can get frustrating quite quickly, even on a lower difficulty setting. To confuse things further, the game decides not to opt for the mechanic most of it’s cousins use these days; slowing down time while you choose your next gun on the weapon wheel selector. That said, you can now use the weapon wheel to dual-wield whatever you’re carrying, which is a nice touch, but a few seconds grace to navigate the sometimes sticky gun selector would have been quite nice, thanks.
What’s great about those enemies, though, is how you can just completely avoid some of them. On occasion, you’ll be confronted by a huge, Nazi behemoth robot, only to realise you can run away from it easily because they’re big and slow. I really liked having the choice that most people would probably make when confronted with a 20ft right-wing robot; to get out of there and leave it to whatever it was doing before you turned up.
The stealth doesn’t quite add up, either. On occasion while sneaking up behind a grunt they’d turn at the very last second, and spot me for all of a millisecond before I busted them up with my hatchet, which is an animation triggered by a single button press. Yet in that wordless moment they would somehow be able to raise an alarm that summons Nazis faster than a woman having an opinion online. It didn’t really wash, and seems quite unforgiving in what was already quite a tricky experience. Despite it’s protestations, Wolfy 2 is definitely a shooter; the stealth is there, but it may as well not be.
Finally, there is BJ’s vocal cords. He’s so low and gruff it’s unintentionally comical; mid-action quips and lines may as well just be fucking gargled for all the sense they make, particularly when fighting for decibels against the game’s improbably loud techno soundtrack. When the scenes arise in which the mother of his unborn children says she can’t understand him, I think she means emotionally, but she may well be talking about his appalling annunciation. Stop mumbling, you square-headed prick.
But that is the negative done with. I promise. It’s all downhill from here, or uphill depending on how you read that analogy. Because the characters and casting (even BJ with his RIDICULOUS voice) are wonderful. Following on from my time in The New Order, I chose the Fergus timeline, and was thrilled to have the hardest yet most nonchalant Scotsman (quite the achievement) in all of videogames back in my life. All of the main cast are voiced and acted beautifully, and the culmination of every caustic first meeting is a solid group of personalities you’ll miss once the credits roll.
Frau Engel takes the role of main target this time. Right from the first encounter she’s established as a completely hateful psychopath, and this is where the new Wolfy’s have always done brilliantly. They’re more than adept at eliciting the perfect emotional response; rather than being presented with cookie-cutter villains who you have to kill because the developers say so, you *really* want to take these people down, and that’s the difference between being propelled through a game rather than being dragged through it. This is built upon even further with flashbacks to BJ’s childhood, one of which was distressing in a way only cruelty to animals can be. These flashback sections are surprisingly good; rather than being poorly-aimed schmaltz they’re well acted and often funny insights into what made BJ the world’s premiere Nazi killer. Indeed, there’s even delightful new characters being introduced 4/5 of the way through, a particular favourite introduction of mine involving a fist-fight and a sniping session to the sounds of jazz clarinet.
And even beyond the characters themselves, the game oozes personality all over the gaffe. Set in an alternative reality where Hitler and his gang of pricks won the second world war, forcing the USA to surrender by way of an atom bomb, it’s a little steam-punk in places, the mesh of an old world with as-yet unknown technology. Feeling somewhat under the weather, Blazkowicz can only get around by the aid of a suit of armour that looks like something from Silent Hill in 2049. There are big, far-right robots that resemble Warhammer’s Ultramarines to contend with on a regular basis. The game is also bizarrely crude and humorous at points, something much needed in amongst all the dying and reflections on mortality. Fairly happy to have you wading through hoards of genocidal maniacs one minute and make obscene references the next, it’s a jarring sense of humour that is too rarely seen in the often po-faced world of FPS. The diaries and passing dialogue you find amongst the environments is often hilarious and most importantly brief; nobody wants to read a four page extract from a journal during a shoot-em-up, but a brief excerpt here and there to build the world is largely welcome.
The problem with the world of Wolfenstein 2 is that the good bits make the bad bits far more apparent. For example, an area many of you may have seen is the Roswell town setting. Y’know, it’s the bit from the footage where everything looks like a perfect 50’s sitcom town, all Cadillacs and ice cream parlours. But in amongst that facade, there are Nazis and KKK members rolling around, sewn in amongst everything like shit in a flan. It’s an area I;d have loved to have spent more time in, but alas, immediately from this part you’re sent packing off to yet more tunnels and grey corridors, and that’s a running theme throughout; corridors and murky, dull areas. The locales do indeed ‘go places’ and by the time the finale rolls around you’ll have laid out Nazis in quite a surprising range of places, but more often than not these are a bit standard-looking. Nevertheless, MachineWorks produces a couple of surprising ways to navigate these environments at least. Rather than showing its hand right at the start, it’s over halfway through the game before you’re suddenly thrown something of a curve ball which results in BJ’s skills expanding.
VERDICT
What we have here, then, is a game contrary to the developing trend. Whereas for other big developers, the main focus is on perfecting open world environments, online communities and loot boxes *vomits*, Wolfenstein flies in the face of that. It’s a contained single-player game that’s real strength is story and personality, but also has solid and satisfying gun-feel and cathartic shooting. There are numerous set-pieces to bring a smile to your face that show real invention, all of which adds up to mean this is well worth checking out, particularly if you want to fuck up some Nazis.
And if you don’t? Well, you definitely wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of Captain Blazkowicz…
9/10

America will always be a mystical place, with photos just being an additional layer on the pop-image constructed by countless films, songs, movies, tv-shows, news-flashes that form the fabric of what we mistakenly perceive to be the USA.
But there is no inner core to it, nothing we can unwrap and suddenly find the Being of America, it is only layers wrapped in layers of images of places that remain imaginary.
Maybe its different when you live there and the shop on the corner is an actual shop where you can buy stuff instead of a stand-in. But I doubt that:
What then is the Becher-project? Vectors of obscurity and mystification vs. Clarity and Enlightenment
Photography as a vehicle of enlightenment; in the very same moment, it also widens the gaps that enlightenment leaves in its wake: Is there really any revelatory impulse in the endless parade of Gas Tanks? Or is it just a reminder that the world surrounding us will always remain an impenetrable mystery, no matter how hard we look at it?
The dialectic of enlightenment as it manifests in photography; the clearest, most objective way of depicting something only heightens our awareness, that the world will always remain unreadable. While the most mystifying way of showing something often falls flat and reminds us that all we ever know is the obvious.

Points to consider when purchasing immediate annuities can be a daunting task, and usually you cannot change your mind once you have made the purchase. That is why it is very important to do your homework first. Here are a few factors that you have to put into consideration when purchasing these products.
Shop Around
There are a lot of highly-rated insurance providers today that offer immediate annuities, and at any point in time, one or two companies might be offering more monthly income for your investment than the rest, due to their own financial capacity and marketing techniques. Insurance experts suggest getting quotes from at least three insurance companies in your state, and ensuring it is on an apples-to-apples comparison for the same kind of annuity.
Safety First
Keep in mind that this is the safe part of your retirement income. Thus, you have to check the background of the insurance companies on your list. A reputable insurance company should be highly rated by renowned rating agencies such the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Standard & Poor’s or A.M. Best. If you think you will be rewarded by taking an investment risk, do that with the fraction of your retirement savings that you do not invest in an immediate annuity and put it in the stock market where there is more potential reward for taking investment risk.
Consider Inflation Protection
Inflation protection starts the payment at a lower level, but increases it once a year, usually by the inflation rate calculated by the government. Inflation protection reduces your “money’s worth ratio” by about five cents on the dollar. Considering the current economic status of the U.S., inflation protection makes sense.
Keep It Simple
Don’t accept costly add-ons, such as coupling the annuity with long-term care insurance or life insurance. These add-ons will only increase the cost of the annuity and make it difficult for you to compare insurance companies.
Consider Diversification
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. You may want to consider spreading your annuity purchase among three or more insurance companies to lessen your exposure to insurance company bankruptcy. For instance, assuming that you have about $300,000 to invest in an annuity; for every insurance company, you should get quotes on investing $100 grand, $200 grand, and $300 grand. If you invest your money in two or more companies, your total revenue might not be much less than investing all your money in one company, and you will have more peace of mind. Check to see if your state has a guarantee association that can add up to $250,000 of protection per account to protect you against insurance company bankruptcy. Most states have their own website, just Google your state name and the words guarantee association for state specific information and coverage.
Ask How Long the Annuity Quotes Are Valid
Annuity rate quotes usually have an expiration date (i.e. seven days, 14 days, etc.). A lot of insurance companies today will accept your application without funding and locking in the quote. But, you will be given up to 60 days to fund the contract.
Ask if Your Health Status will Affect Your Annuity Application
If you have a serious health condition, be sure to mention that in your application form. You may be qualified for a medically underwritten immediate annuity which will pay you a greater amount per month.
Ask What Will Happen to Your Premium Payment or Income Stream If You Die Too Early
When it comes to life only immediate annuities, the amount you paid for your immediate annuity is forfeited upon your death. But, most annuity companies nowadays offer optional riders that return the remaining unused premium dollars when you die prematurely. Thus, don’t forget to ask the refund options when you gather quotes.
Read the Fine Print
As with any crucial financial decision, it’s advisable to carefully read the fine print before you sign the dotted line. Carefully review the annuity quote or illustration. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to address them with your agent before you purchase the immediate annuities. Keep in mind that you can’t change your mind once you’ve made the purchase.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Know that whatever your decision is, your satisfaction is always guaranteed! You have ten days (or one month, in some states) from the day your contract is sent to you to request that the insurance company refunds your full premium to you. No questions will be asked. This is known as the “free look” period, during which you can have a lawyer or a family member review the immediate annuities contract to make sure it gives you the coverage you need.

Fire causes death to an average of 5000 UK citizens each year; it is estimated that an 80% death rate is reported from house fires.
There are some simple steps that can and should be taken to prevent a fire from starting in your home.
The big reason for fires breaking out is often forgetfulness. People forget to turn off a heated curler or a saucepan which can be disastrous. If you leave some water to boil on a gas hob and then walk away and forget about it the water will slowly evaporate and then the pan will slowly begin to melt – this can be fatal.

People also often forget how dangerous candles can be. You should carefully position candles to decrease the chance of them being knocked over or to lower the chance of the flame touching a nearby object. Most importantly – always remember to blow them out.
Chip pan fires are widely reported in the press as being a major cause of house fires – again this is often down to carelessness. You should always keep an eye on it while you are cooking – never walk out of the room and leave it unattended.
Cigarettes are also a cause of house fires. If you imagine, smokers may accidently fall asleep on the sofa with a lit cigarette – this could be disastrous.
In case you do ever forget about an appliance or a lit candle you should ALWAYS have smoke alarms installed in your home. Experts recommend that you have a smoke alarm installed on each floor, in the bedrooms and near to the staircases. You should regularly check that the smoke alarms are still working once a month – as the batteries may have run out.
It is also advisable that you get your home electrics checked over by an electrician – especially if you move into an old home. Faulty electrics are also a cause of house fires.
Should any of the above ever happen to you, it is vital that you know what to do so you don’t panic. In this case, a fire safety course would come in extremely handy.

It’s nearly February in 2019, but r/EDM on Reddit is just now revealing the results of their Best of 2018 voting. Right off the bat, we have to note that the subreddit boasts nearly 440,000 subscribers, and yet the most votes in any single category was 405 for future bass. That is 0.09% of the total subreddit population.
Now, let’s move on to the results. The top two comments on the thread right now are referencing the EDM circlejerk and unwanted results — well, of course! No one voted! The results of the survey skew heavily toward the main stream, not that that’s particularly unexpected, either.
Winner of best artist for big room house? Martin Garrix, no surprise there. Dance Pop? The Chainsmokers, check. Future bass? Illenium, of course. Future house? Don Diablo, who didn’t see that coming. Although, props are due to Nora En Pure for winning best artist for tropical house & commercial deep house.
It also seems that the results could have been skewed by a large influx of Monstercat fans — just look at the drum & bass and electro house categories.
All this being said, another huge congrats is due to 1788-L for nearly sweeping the midtempo bass category after only a year of being active. The only categories he missed out on went to Rezz, for best album/EP and best mix. 1788-L also won best breakout artist overall.
Curiously absent anywhere on the list? Marshmello.

A capitalist society requires a culture based on images. It needs to furnish vast amounts of entertainment in order to stimulate buying and anesthetize the injuries of class, race, and sex. And it needs to gather unlimited amounts of information, the better to exploit natural resources, increase productivity, keep order, make war, give jobs to bureaucrats. The camera’s twin capacities, to subjectivize reality and to objectify it, ideally serve these needs and strengthen them. Cameras define reality in the two ways essential to the workings of an advanced industrial society: as a spectacle (for masses) and as an object of surveillance (for rulers).

Day two of Bassnectar’s Deja Voom is done, and it’s certainly staying interesting. After porn star Adriana Chechik was filmed performing oral sex on an attendee in the crowd on Thursday night, the resort is now cracking down on drug use after “some unfortunate incidents.”
“[…] the resort has informed us that they are required to be proactive in enforcing Mexico’s zero-tolerance policy with enhanced security measures including the use of specially-trained dogs,” the notice reads. “Please be aware that you may see increased security within the entire resort including all Deja Voom events and activities effective immediately through check-out.”

According to Riviera Maya News, “a 25-year-old American man was arrested at a Riviera Maya hotel after he was seen by hotel staff delivering drugs to another hotel guest,” which could have prompted the increased security.
The man, who was referred to in the report only as Gates N, was found with “$1,000 USD in cash, 86 transparent pills with cocaine, two glass jars with the same substance and a blue bag that contained 909 empty capsules.”
Deja Voom concludes tonight with performances from Bassnectar, Digital Mystikz, Bukez Finezt, Digital Ethos, Dirtybird Players, and more.

What was once one man’s real, living nightmare is going down in history as the most legendary anecdote to come out of Fyre Festival. Of course, we’re talking about the notorious dick sucking story from Netflix’s Fyre documentary.
As people draw lines comparisons between Hulu’s documentary and that of Netflix, there’s a clear line in the sand between one versus the other. One describes event producer Andy King‘s near run-in with a penis to get trucks full of Evian water across the boarder.
“Billy [McFarland] called and said, ‘Andy, we need you to take one big thing for the team.,” King explains on-camera in the newly released Fyre documentary. “And I said, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve been taking something for the team every day.’
“He said, ‘Well, you’re our wonderful gay leader and we need you to go down, will you suck dick to fix this water problem?’ And I said, ‘Billy, what?’ And he said, ‘Andy, if you will go down and suck Cunningham’s dick, who is the head of customs, and get him to clear all of the containers with water, you will save this festival.’”
This is the same guy who admits he would break into tears whenever he was alone for a second, as Fyre became more and more out of his control. King was fully prepared to go down, to the festival site and otherwise, if it meant keeping the festival afloat — and more importantly, the thirst of attendees quenched. Thankfully, customs let the water go with no dirty deeds done, but the festival failed miserably anyways. Still, this guy is some kind of hero.
“Can you imagine, in my 30 years of career that this was what I was going to do?,” he says. “I was going to do that, honestly, to save the festival.”
Naturally, Twitter’s commentary about the dick sucking story is on point. Never forget.

When songstress Lena Horne arrived in Manhattan in the early 1980s from Hollywood to perform her one-woman Broadway show, “The Lady and Her Music,” she decided she was going to return to her hometown for good. She began to look for a place to buy.
Her friend, the model and socialite Jane Holzer, better known as “Baby Jane” for her role as Andy Warhol’s muse, proposed Ms. Horne move into her building, a co-op in the Lenox Hill neighborhood on the Upper East Side called the Volney. The former hotel, with its limestone facade and canopied entrance, was built in the 1920s and had been home to notable artists and writers, including Dorothy Parker.
Ms. Horne had faced challenges finding a home in the past, when many Manhattan co-ops weren’t welcoming to African-Americans. In an interview, singer Harry Belafonte said he had previously rented a penthouse apartment to Ms. Horne in the 1960s at a building he purchased at 300 West End Avenue. He had purchased the entire building and turned it into coops because the previous landlord wouldn’t allow African-Americans to live there, he said.
Ms. Horne ultimately bought a fifth-floor apartment at the Volney—and eventually four others. She combined the first unit with an adjacent one to create one apartment with a large living room, dining room and two bedrooms, according to Ms. Horne’s daughter, Gail Lumet Buckley. Ms. Horne later bought another unit to use as an exercise room and then one as a guest suite and extra wardrobe space for her many evening gowns. A fifth unit became a private office, where her secretary worked.
Ms. Horne died in 2010, and two of her fifth-floor apartments were sold for a combined $1.1 million in 2014. Now, Ms. Buckley is selling the last of her mother’s add-on apartments—the one used as an office—for $825,000, according to her real-estate agent, Tamer Howard of Douglas Elliman, who is listing the property in association with Kevin Dees of the Agency in Los Angeles. The for-sale unit has one bedroom and one bathroom.
The bedroom in the for-sale unit.
Alex Fradkin for The Wall Street Journal
Ms. Buckley, an 80-year-old nonfiction author, is keeping the main apartment, where she lives with her husband, journalist Kevin Buckley.
Although Ms. Buckley never lived in the main apartment with her mother, she recalled Ms. Horne’s distinct tastes and lifestyle. “Her bedroom was always red. She loved red,” Ms. Buckley said, noting her mother’s rouge-flecked wallpaper. “She slept late. She would go to bed about 3 a.m. when she was working and then wake up at 3 p.m. in the afternoon and have a big steak or something.”
Ms. Horne’s furniture was often imported from Europe and included statement pieces, such as a small Louis Vuitton trunk with SS France ocean-liner stickers inscribed with her married name, Lena Horne Hayton. Ms. Buckley said her mother and her second husband, the composer Lennie Hayton, had married in Europe in 1947 because, at the time, interracial marriages were still illegal in California. They kept their marriage a secret for several years and always traveled aboard French ships to Europe because they didn’t discriminate.
Ms. Horne’s two children, Ms. Buckley and her brother, Teddy Jones, who died in 1970, were from her first marriage to Louis Jordan Jones, of Pittsburgh.
“That marriage lasted three years because my father had a high-stakes bridge habit and a girlfriend he never got rid of,” Ms. Buckley said.
The trunk, and many other personal items of Ms. Horne, were sold at the auction, with the trunk fetching more than $8,000. Ms. Buckley held onto some items, which are on display in her apartment, such as a bust of her mother by Peter Lambda.
Ms. Horne, born in 1917, spent her early years in a townhouse in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. “There were two townhouses on the street when she was born,” Ms. Buckley said.
Ms. Horne relocated to California in the 1940s to headline a new nightclub on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, and was quickly scouted by producers at the movie studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She appeared in movies and musicals, such as “Cabin in the Sky” in 1943. She wasn’t typically cast in leading roles and rarely interacted with other actors on screen so that her appearances could be cut out for audiences in the segregated South.
Ms. Horne was relieved to return to New York and loved her home at the Volney, a short stroll to her favorite Fifth Avenue stores, her daughter said. “She would walk down to Bergdorf’s,” she added. “People sometimes would recognize her and just smile, and she loved that. She loved that it was New York and people didn’t make a fuss.”

Game: Yomawari: Midnight ShadowsDeveloper: Nippon Ichi SoftwarePublisher: NIS AmericaReviewed on: PS4 (Review code provided)
Nippon Ichi Software is back with a new terrifying addition to their Yomawari series titled Midnight Shadows, a Japanese survival horror video game. This dramatic tale takes you in the footsteps of two lost elementary school girls, Yui and Haru, as you traverse your hometown to find one another. But it’s not as cute as it first appears; something evil is lurking in the dark, they’re out to get you and there’s yokai closing in on every side. Fighting for your life inside these killer, thriller nights, are you up to the challenge to find each other in the darkness? Even I was unprepared for what I was about to experience…!
YOMAWARI: MIDNIGHT SHADOWS_20171026161714
Whilst Yomawari: Midnight Shadows is a sequel to its predecessor Night Alone, the story that is about to unfold is an entirely separate entity, meaning that no previous experience is required in order to get the most from this game. In fact, if like myself you have no prior knowledge then this will only make the following hours all the more harrowing for you! To put my personal opinion out here and to help set the tone, I don’t feel the PEGI 12 age rating is appropriate to the graphic scenes depicted within; at the very least I would suggest 15 onwards to avoid any nightmares. Heck, even at 28 I didn’t really want to face this alone in the dark and was repeatedly told off for my constant shrieking…
Set in a seemingly quaint Japanese town, summer vacation is coming to an end and two young girls, Yui and Haru visit the mountaintop to watch the evening fireworks together. Sounds nice right? During the display, Haru explains that this is the last time they will be able to watch the fireworks together as she will soon be leaving town. As sadness sets in, night envelops the town in darkness. As the girls journey home, something lunges at them from the shadows to attack and the two girls find themselves lost and separated in the dark. Alone and afraid, the girls must brace themselves for the terrors of the night and face the darkness to reunite and make their way home.
YOMAWARI: MIDNIGHT SHADOWS_20171026182636
Bizarrely, the game opens up with a specific set of instructions: turn off all the lights and focus your attention solely on the screen, even going so far as asking you to promise. I had intentionally not looked into this game at all in order to heighten my experience, and placing my judgements on the cover art and cute chibi character styles I thought to myself, this can’t be that scary… Well, I was about to eat my words. I proceeded to turn off all the lights, close all the blinds and turned up the volume before placing myself in front of the TV with my eyes and mind focused. As the dark screen lingered I had a sense that something was about to happen, you know, like when you are asked to watch one of these seemingly innocent videos but then after a while something scary jumps out at the screen. Well, that didn’t happen. I was left slightly disappointed by this and thus began the story. Boy oh boy was I wrong, I wasn’t disappointed for long… After a brief opening explaining the mechanics, I was totally unprepared for what was about to happen! What greeted me next was one of the grimmest and morbid scenes I have ever witnessed and left me agape in shock for a good 10 minutes trying to comprehend the horror that had just unfolded. It’s an experience that has shook me and will stick with me for a long time.
Japanese horrors are the only ones that seem to invoke the most emotions from me. Whilst western horrors mostly involve gruesome looking characters and scary moments, most often I find them lacking in leaving an impression. Nippon Ichi Software, however, have exceeded my expectations and have mastered the perfect horror by invoking our most innate fears. One way they have achieved this is by creating the perfect ambience. There is no musical score here, only the calls of the night that make hairs stand on end and hearts pulsate. As you explore the town you can hear the rustling of the trees, the leaves and crunchy gravel underfoot, the cicadas song and the electrical hums of street lamps and vending machines. As you explore an abandoned mansion, floorboards creak, doors slam and windows rattle. All of these are familiar frights from our childhoods, and whilst you may think you have grown out of them, it’s amazing how the darkness pulls you back. Under the cover of night, the yokai come out with wails of suffering voiced in Japanese such as Yonkai Baba or Teke Teke that particularly creeped me out. As these various yokai inch ever closer to you as you wander the town, your heart will pulsate through the speakers, increasing in rhythm as they get closer whilst the screen throbs. In turn, my own heartbeat would begin to go crazy and it was soon hard to distinguish if it was more mine or the games.
YOMAWARI: MIDNIGHT SHADOWS_20171031214722
When it comes to visuals, they have also done an exceptional job in heightening our experience. The game itself has a beautiful painted art style with kawaii chibi illustrations, using parallax scrolling at certain scenes to create gorgeous depth and add great immersion to the game. I will admit, I especially squealed when a spider complete with webbing popped out in the foreground hindering my visibility! The quality is a little pixelated, especially when zoomed in once undercover but overall this added to the charm. Frame rate was often solid, only dipping on the odd occasion but this was hardly noticeable and did not interrupt gameplay. It really is a beautiful game, especially with the rare burnt, blood like sky.
YOMAWARI: MIDNIGHT SHADOWS_20171031194636
Yomawari: Midnight Shadows owes its big horror success to how well the team have implemented the evocation of our innate fears, especially if the opening instructions are up-kept by the player. The ambience, coupled with the impairment of our visual senses in the dark has a huge impact on our human psyche. Despite our evolution from our ancestors, we still rely on our visuals to protect us. Black represents darkness, but it is not the darkness itself we fear, rather it is what the darkness conceals that may bring us harm. The gameplay utilises all of this to create a terrifying experience, despite the somewhat simplistic mechanics. Throughout the game, you will change perspectives between Yui and Haru, though most of the story unfolds through Haru’s eyes, with Yui’s scenes connecting the development between chapters. The goal is to find Yui, and for reasons unbeknownst to me, Haru takes it upon herself to explore the town at night. Seriously, this little girl has GUTS! She is so unbelievably courageous; despite being scared and alone her desire to find her friend urges her on. The game plays upon our perceptions of night, and even though you should know your own town well, under the cover of darkness everything is different. You may walk the same path every day, but at night it always seems unfamiliar and scary.
YOMAWARI: MIDNIGHT SHADOWS_20171031211943
As little girls, there is no combat to be found and demons cannot be fought. Armed with only a flashlight, you must explore the streets alone. The map starts off more or less empty, completing over time in childish scribbles as you traverse your hometown. It’s actually rather detailed sketching for a young girl, with landmarks and areas of interest marked down. Loneliness is instilled with every step you take as you travel alone and what’s worse is that you are far from alone, as a plethora of yokai and mononoke roam the streets. Each one has unique characteristics steeped in Japanese lore and will require different tactics to evade. As you explore with your flashlight you will come across a glimmer on the ground representing an item that can be picked up. These are split into collectables, key items and usable items, some with a limit on how many you can carry at a time. As you cannot fight the yokai you will have to find other ways around them, and some will block your path forcing you to find an alternative route or signalling an area which can’t be reached until a later point. Items such as rocks or paper planes can be used to distract the yokai, whilst some will force you to run for your life. As you run, a stamina bar represents the duration you can last before exhaustion slows you down, so it’s best to pace yourself where you can. If running isn’t an option, nearby bushes or police signs are good places to hide until the yokai retreats, but these moments are tense as your heart goes crazy. Sneaking or turning off your flashlight is also an option and can help in avoiding detection.
Other useful items you can collect are coins which can be used to save your game at nearby telephones or as offerings at Jizo statues. Though you might expect these coins to be rare, they are actually in plentiful supply which might make things a little too easy. These points are always good to check, as being captured by a yokai will result in instant death and will take you back to your last save point. Luckily any items you collect will still remain with you, which whilst easy does save all the hard work you just put in. The Jizo statues are also useful to use as teleportation to various sections of the map. Making your way through these streets fills you with anxiety, and as the fear sets in it can be hard to push forward, yet I found the story so compelling that I could not avert my eyes and I had to push on. I have to find Yui and I must see where this story will end, I constantly told myself. I perished many a time, but I could not stop pushing forward on these puzzling streets; with trial and error I would persevere to the end! Charms were particularly handy for facing certain situations, granting abilities such as running for longer which was perhaps the most useful.
YOMAWARI: MIDNIGHT SHADOWS_20171026180039
This game has certainly put me through my paces. I have lost count of the number of times I have shrieked as a yokai jumps out from nowhere, or the screen is enveloped in complete darkness. I have been a nervous wreck, especially after being chased by Mr. Kotowari with his relentless effort to cut me. The story has gripped my heart, and yes, I have cried. By the time I had completed the game I had suffered through 10 hours of horror, filled with despair yet great appreciation for such a heart-wrenching experience. Now I just need to play through the post-game to go back and find all the collectables and read further into the dark mysteries that haunt this town…
VERDICT
A tale of harrowing terror and enduring friendship! Despite inflicting such horrors upon me, this tale is one filled with not only despair but inspiration. Haru has been so inspiring; if she can push on through all of what she’s been through then surely I can face my fears too! This game will give you all the feels: fear, sorrow, anger and frustration, but overall I was left with a deep admiration over the bonds these girls share and the lengths they were willing to go through for each other. This game is a testament to how easily we can be gripped by our innate emotions, yet no matter what happens we can somehow find the strength to go on. I can’t wait to see where Nippon Ichi Software will take us next!

Vivek Oberoi talks about his Tamil debut
The pan-global blockbuster status of S S Rajamouli’s Baahubali has given South Indian cinema a renewed legitimacy in Bollywood. Bollywood actors are making a beeline for Tamil and Telugu cinema. Even Mr Bachchan will be seen in a Telugu film soon.
Two weeks ago it was Kajol in Soundarya Rajinikanth’s screechy and hysterical Tamil film VIP 2. Last week it was Vivek Oberoi who makes his debut in Tamil cinema with the eagerly awaited Ajith starrer Vivegam.
Vivek Anand Oberoi (that’s how he likes to be known now) is very excited about his Tamil debut and his maiden opportunity to speak in Tamil on screen for the first time.
Says Vivek, “Yes, this is my Tamil debut! I am quite excited by the challenge. Speaking in Tamil was a challenge but I enjoyed the experience. I learned to appreciate the language and its nuances. It’s always challenging to act in a language not native to you but because of the fabulous role and the scale of the film, it was well worth the extra effort.”
Apparently Vivek was keen to do his own lines and was even assured that he would be allowed to speak for himself on screen.
But the dialectic fastidiousness of South Indian cinema is well-known.
Vivek Oberoi promised to deliver. Says a source, “In the South Indian cinema the accent and pitch are of paramount importance. No matter how well a North Indian actor speaks his or her lines in Tamil or Telugu it still doesn’t sound authentic. Before Vivek, Aditi Rao was keen to do her own Tamil lines in Mani Ratnam’s film. But she was not allowed.”
Vivek Oberoi plays Ajith’s best friend and has some really punchy dialogues to deliver. Says Vivek, “I play an international spy who is also best friends with Ajith Kumar’s character. Aryaan, my character is trained like a lethal weapon himself and is also a genius at strategy and counter strategy as a spy. I had a great time working with Ajith and the team.”

Hard water is a common issue throughout Canada and North America. While it is not considered dangerous to health, hard water can be problematic in a variety of ways around the home. So, here we’ll explore how to determine if your home has hard water and what you can do to correct the issue.
The Problems With Hard Water
Hard water contains high levels of minerals, specifically calcium, magnesium, and possibly iron. While these minerals are considered essential for human health when in significant quantities in your water, it can create a number of issues around your home. Hard water minerals accumulate to cause scale. This can be visible around fixtures such as shower heads and taps, but it can also be hidden inside pipes and water using appliances. Unfortunately, this scale not only impedes water flow, but it can also create energy efficiency problems, as the scale accumulates around heating elements, forcing appliances to work harder. Eventually, this scale build up will compromise the lifespan of your appliances, forcing premature replacement.
Hard water can also cause problems with laundry, dish washing, and bathing. You may notice spots on your glassware, your whites may look dull and gray, or your skin may feel dry and itchy. All of these issues are related to hard water. The hard water minerals interfere with the lather capabilities of soaps and detergent. This impedes cleaning and may create a scum that is difficult to rinse. This soap scum can even remain on your skin and hair, causing itchy, irritated skin and dull, hard to style hair. If you have experienced any of these issues, it is likely that you have hard water and you’ll need to determine the level of hardness in your water.
DIY Testing
If you’re unsure whether your home is affected by hard water, there is a simple way to perform a DIY check. This can be performed at home to determine if you need to take further action. You’ll need some pure liquid soap and a clear water bottle.
First, fill your container, such as an empty plastic bottle, approximately a third of the way to the top with tap water.
Add approximately ten drops of your liquid soap into the container. Pure liquid soap will work best for this. Any soap labelled as detergent will contain additives that can affect the results of this testing, so try to stick to pure soap varieties, such as Castile soap that does not contain perfumes or dyes.
Put the lid on the container and shake for at least ten seconds. You want to mix the soap and water in an attempt to make bubbles.
Once you’ve shaken the bottle, it’s time to check the results. If you can see a decent amount of soap suds on top and nice, clear water underneath, your water is relatively soft. If your bottle doesn’t contain many suds even after a vigorous shaking and the water looks cloudy, it is a good indication that you have hard water.
If preferred, you can keep adding more soap and shaking to continue this test. Just remember the more soap needed to create bubbles, the greater your water hardness.
The reason this test provides insight into your water hardness is that the hard water minerals prevent soap from creating suds and cleaning effectively. The sap binds with the dissolved minerals to form a cloudy liquid that will leave a residue on your dishes, shower, clothing, hair, and skin.
Detergents are formulated with additives to create suds in hard water. This is why these products shouldn’t be used in the above test. Unfortunately, even if you’re using these products, you’ll still need to use increasing quantities in hard water to get those all important suds.
Accurate Water Testing
While this DIY test can provide you with some information, it is not completely accurate. This test will highlight a hard water problem, but it won’t provide a precise number of the water hardness level of your supply. This test highlights a need for more accurate water testing.
A water treatment expert can provide this form of testing. The technician is equipped to test water for the hardness level, pH, total dissolved solids and other possible contaminants. This testing can be tailored to check for the contaminants that are common in your geographical area. For example, if you live in a rural area, it is a good idea to check for nitrates and other chemicals associated with agricultural runoff. The technician can help you to identify the underlying cause of any water problems you may be experiencing, such as strange tastes, odours or aesthetic qualities, such as strange colours.
Treatment Options
Once you have had accurate testing performed, your water technician can help you to understand the testing results and guide you through the treatment options. If the only water quality issue is high hardness levels, a water softener is likely to be the best choice. These devices use ion exchange to replace the magnesium and calcium with sodium ions. This immediately creates softer water to eliminate any hard water issues around your home.
If you have more extensive water quality issues, you are likely to need other types of water treatment. For example, Reverse Osmosis systems can be used to eliminate up to 99.9% of waterborne contaminants. This is a particularly effective treatment method for heavy metals, minerals, bacteria, and viruses. Unfortunately, the semipermeable membrane in RO systems can be vulnerable to clogging and damage if you have high total dissolved solids. In this scenario, you may need to introduce a pre-filter to remove any sediment and larger particles of dissolved solids before it is passed through the RO membrane.
If you have concerns or questions about your water quality, you should consult a professional water quality expert. An experienced professional can perform on site water testing to check for hard water and other contaminants before recommending the treatment options best suited to your water conditions.

In Moskau wohnte ich in einem Hotel, in dem fast alle Zimmer von tibetanischen Lamas belegt waren, die zu einem Kongreß der gesamten buddhistischen Kirchen von Moskau gekommen waren. Es fiel mir auf, wieviele Türen in den Gängen des Hauses stets angelehnt standen. Was erst ein Zufall schien, wurde mir unheimlich. Ich erfuhr: in solchen Zimmern wohnten Angehörige einer Sekte, die gelobt hatten, sich nie in geschlossenen Räumen aufzuhalten.

Rome has enough to see and do to keep you busy for weeks – but we think two days is plenty of time to get to grips with the Eternal City’s best b
The Colosseum or Coliseum also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy.
its. The secret is having a plan, which is where we come in.
We’ve put together an in-depth guide to spending 48 hours in Rome, from which sights to see when, to where to grab a few scoops of cioccolato gelato. Once you’re done reading, let us know in the comments what your ideal 48 hours in Rome would entail!
DAY ONE
08:00 If your Rome hotel doesn’t serve breakfast, do as the Italians do and grab a coffee and croissant from a nearby café. Then make your way to the entrance to Palatine Hill on Via di San Gregorio, where you can buy a combination ticket that includes the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and the Colosseum. Alternatively, hop on a guided tour that includes priority entry to the Colosseum.
09:00 Start off exploring the ruined palace and stadium of Palatine Hill, before stopping in the botanical garden to admire the views across the Forum. Head down to the Forum and you can walk along dusty paths past temples, churches and the impressive Arch of Titus. Once you’re done, exit the Roman Forum and walk next door to the Colosseum – your combination ticket means you can skip the queues at the ticket office and walk straight in.
12:00 Pop round the back of the Colosseum to Via Labicana, where you’ll find the Basilica di San Clemente. It’s a multi-layered church – the 12th-century basilica was built on top of a 4th-century church, which was built over a 2nd-century pagan temple – and is one of our favourite sites in Rome. Admire the beautiful mosaics in the basilica, before descending below ground to explore the remains of the earlier buildings.
12:30 It’s almost time for lunch, so make your way over towards Piazza della Rotonda, about half an hour’s walk away. On the way, pop into Signor Panino, a little sandwich shop on Via Piè di Marmo, and pick up a panino to take away – when you get to Piazza della Rotonda, you can perch on the steps of the Fontana del Pantheon and eat it overlooking the Pantheon’s 2nd-century pillars. Once you’ve finished up, head inside the Pantheon and marvel at its tombs, paintings and marble statues.
14:00 Walk 10 minutes eastwards to Via della Panetteria. Look for the tiny sign that marks the entrance to San Crispino, one of the best gelaterie in Rome. Get a coppetta of stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate shavings), nocciola (hazelnut) and cioccolato (chocolate) to go and walk the two minutes to Piazza di Trevi, which is dominated by the iconic Trevi Fountain. Prefer a tour complete with an expert guide? Sign up to the small-group Rome Fountains and Squares tour or the Espresso and Gelato Tour.
15:00 Head down Via delle Muratte and turn right when you reach Via del Corso. The street is lined with high street names and independent clothes stores, so it’s ideal if you fancy a bit of shopping. When you reach Via Condotti, turn right – you’ll pass designer boutiques including Prada, Armani and Gucci, and end up at Piazza di Spagna, with the famous Spanish Steps in front of you. Walk up to the top of the steps for great views and a chance to peek inside Trinità dei Monti church, or find an empty spot on the stairs to rest your legs and enjoy the atmosphere.
16:30 From the top of the Spanish Steps, you’re less than 10 minutes’ walk from the Villa Borghese (just follow the signposts). It’s the biggest public park in Rome, so is perfect for relaxing at the end of a busy day.
20:30 There are plenty of little restaurants around Piazza del Popolo – try the Fiaschetteria Beltramme on Via della Croce, a hole-in-the-wall trattoria serving traditional Roman dishes.
22:30 If you’ve still got energy, walk down to Piazza Navona (about 15-20 minutes). Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers looks lovely all lit up, and the al fresco diners, street musicians and artists give the whole place a lively feel. Explore the streets and piazzas nearby and you’ll find plenty of tucked-away wine bars (we love Cul de Sac on Piazza Pasquino and Caffè della Pace on Via della Pace).
DAY TWO
09:00 Arrive at the Vatican Museums bright and early – if you’ve booked your tickets online in advance, you’ll be able to skip the queues. The site is huge, so if you’re not taking a guided tour, make sure you read a guidebook beforehand and decide which parts you want to see. Some of the most popular sections are the frescoed Raphael Rooms, the Gregorian Etruscan museum, and – of course – the Sistine Chapel.
12:00 Time for an early lunch. Refuel with a huge panino from Duecento Gradi (Piazza del Risorgimento) or a topping-laden slice of pizza from Pizzarium (Via della Meloria), before walking round to St. Peter’s Square.
13:00 Join the queue to enter St. Peter’s Basilica. It can look dauntingly long, but it moves quickly and gives you a chance to take in the grandeur of the square and the basilica’s exterior. Make sure you’ve got your shoulders and knees covered – you won’t be allowed in if not. Give yourself at least half an hour to wander through the vast, richly decorated interior. You can also climb up to the top of the basilica, or go underground and explore the necropolis beneath (you’ll need to book in advance via the Vatican’s website).
15:00 From St. Peter’s Square, wander down Via della Conciliazione to Castel Sant’Angelo, a mausoleum-turned-fortress-turned-museum. Tour the frescoed interiors, take in the views of Rome from the terrace (which features in Puccini’s Tosca), then pull up a chair at the castle’s café for an espresso.
18:00 Start your evening off early in Trastevere. The Piazza Santa Maria is the hub of the neighbourhood. Have a drink at one of the cafés edging the square, and perhaps pop in to the church to see the 12th-century mosaics.
19:00 Lively Freni e Frizioni on Via del Politeama is famous for its aperitivo. Order a drink, then help yourself to a buffet of bruschetta, salads, pasta and pizza.
21:00 Tuck in to Roman specialities at Roma Sparita, a lovely restaurant with a terrace on Piazza Santa Cecilia.
22:30 A 15-minute walk takes you across Ponte Garibaldi and over to Campo de’ Fiori, one of the liveliest area in Rome. Pick a bar, order a Negroni, and enjoy your final evening in the Eternal City.
Raring to go? Take a look at our holidays to Rome.

Anyway, I think I will restart my work with the Illustrated Botanical Dictionary. I am going to capture subjects in daylight with color photography; I will compile them into the Illustrated Botanical Dictionary. For that, they must be color photographs. This is because I would like to completely cast off any trace of the hand that remains with the darkroom process of black-and-white photography. The hands themselves have made the art. The hands are the others within oneself. But of course the hands are the self. Manipulation and a thing manipulated by the hands are still an extension of the hands. The world is manipulated by the hands. My Illustrated Botanical Dictionary will come to exist by cleanly severing all ties with hand-manipulation. In that sense, the color photograph is already in the other world. Release the shutter once, and everything comes to an end

Drinking coffee and impacting people positively is literally Five Senses’ two favourite things. So it’s no surprise we get incredibly excited when CafeSmart rolls around – circle Friday 3 August on your calendars!
One of the things we love about CafeSmart, is that funds raised go to grassroots projects that help homeless or support at risk people -in their local area! Here’s just some of the great things achieved through last year’s campaign:
Yellow Bernard, Hobart TAS – $1686 raised
($991 via coffee sales and $695 customer donations)
Helped Support: Tassie Mums are an entirely volunteer run not-for-profit group, passionate about providing Tasmanian babies and children with the most basic essentials, they collect, sort and bundle donations of baby and children’s clothing (and other small baby items) to re-distribute via social service networks that help to support Tasmanian families. Part of the CafeSmart grant went to helping with storage arrangements while the rest helped fill the gaps in the clothing bundles, buying undies etc.
Two Skinny Pickles, Surry Hills NSW – $306 raised
Helped Support: Pets in the Park run a free pet health clinic at St Johns Church, Darlinghurst. At each pet clinic veterinarians and vet nurses provide free health checks, vaccinations, flea treatment, worming treatment and basic medication for pets owned by people experiencing homeless or at risk. Many homeless people or those at risk lead a difficult and isolated life but for those with pets, these companion animals act as their refuge and can provide them with a better quality of life while they are experiencing homelessness. The benefits of this bond between the owner and pet are immense, including increased social, emotional and physical health. The Pets in the Park outreach program aims to help take care of their pets and to sustain this companionship by reducing the financial burden of these costs to ensure the health of their pets.
Sons of Mary, Brighton VIC- $647 raised
Helped Support: Emerge Women and Children’s Support Network is the only specialist outreach domestic violence service located in Melbourne’s Middle Southern Metropolitan Region. They deliver crisis services, including crisis accommodation and case management, therapeutic programs for children and women affected by domestic violence, including early intervention, educative and supportive programs, and art therapy for young women and children. The CafeSmart grant was used for therapeutic support for traumatised children. Therapists purchased much needed materials and were able to organise confidence building excursions.
Bunker, Milton QLD- $421 raised
Helped Support: West End Community House has been running a free Community Breakfast for many years. It began as a funded breakfast to link in with local boarding house tenants but in recent years has had to find its own funding. Now they are getting eggs donated ( 9 dozen each week), the breakfasts tend to cost about $125 each week. The CafeSmart grant of $1250 covered 10 weeks of breakfasts.
Betty & Dave’s Espresso, Mount Lawley – $381 raised
Helped Support: Wungening Aboriginal Corporation specialises in helping young people who are homeless on the streets and are actively using substances. The organisation was set up as other organisations were not addressing this issue effectively and offering the treatment and prevention programs needed. Young people are often overlooked as they do not fit into the mainstream treatment options. The CafeSmart funds were used to out-reach and actively engage with young people and offer them a pathway of early intervention, alcohol and drug treatment and support.

Dyspereunia. Admittedly, it’s not a flowery word, and it’s not a walk in the park for those who are diagnosed with it. Dyspereunia is an umbrella term that describes several types of negative pelvic sensations that women may experience. Discomfort in the vulvar region or pain with intercourse, vaginal muscle spasms that prevent penetration – any of these conditions can result in a dyspereunia diagnosis from a medical provider.
And that leads us to another issue – a specific diagnosis is often difficult to come by. Women who experience any type of dyspareunia condition can be hard pressed to find a provider who is able to accurately assess and identity the issue and offer appropriate treatment. This is evidenced by the vast majority of women who seek our care and report that they have seen more than one gynecologist or other specialist who wasn’t able to help. To make matters worse, these patients say that more often than not, they were told: “you just need to relax” or “it’s all in your head” or “I can’t care for you because you’re not allowing me to do my exam”. Women leave these appointments feeling dismissed, broken, humiliated and defeated.
We don’t seek to vilify all women’s health providers – many have been properly trained in the field of sexual dysfunction, and for that we are thankful! However, too many lack knowledge and experience in this area (and clearly in some cases, bedside manner as well!), and that’s where we can help. At Maze, we understand just how challenging conditions like vulvodynia, vestibulodynia and vaginismus can be. Our holistic, integrative approach combines medical and behavioral expertise that focuses on meaningful and effective evaluation and solutions. We work collaboratively and comprehensively with our patients and aim to help them heal and achieve their optimal sexual health.
If you’d like to find out more, please contact us for a free 10-minute phone consult. You will learn that you are not alone, and that we are here to help.
