Circumstances Beyond Control. Top Story - September 2024.
I am not a historically or politically savvy individual.I am the average Josephine, or Joe, who reads and listens to the news when it comes to me. Often someone points out an issue that makes me curious.

Trickery and Deception - Sea Monkeys
Who remembers Sea Monkeys? As an 8 year old kid with wide eyes and a penchant for being duped by the cleverest of schoolmates, I was hooked. The magical, intriguing offer on the back of the Archie Comic Book enticed me to send my hard earned money away, for the opportunity to grow Sea Monkeys. Prodded, encouraged and pushed, I filled out the form, paid my $1 plus postage and waited, and waited, and waited for them to show up in the mail.

Suicide Prevention: Honorable endeavor or impossible mission?
Suicide is a serious subject and I haven't written about it seriously or intellectually for most of my writing career. I've written many poems expressing in various ways the emotions and thoughts of a suicidal person. I've also written some stories in an attempt to shed some light on the matter. However, today's submission isn't about being "suicidal" or dealing with mental illness. In this article, I'd like to discuss mental health in general and the Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 (also known as The Baker Act). I'd also like to share my personal experiences with suicide, crisis stabilization facilities, and my overall opinions about how people should handle this subject. What makes me an expert? Do I have a Doctorate degree in Psychology? No, I majored in English. But I've spent 25 years in and out of the "insane asylums" and on and off prescribed psyche medications. I've been to hospitals in Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, and New Jersey. I may not be qualified to prescribe medications, but after 25 years of experience as a diagnosed and treated patient, I feel quite confident in my expertise on the subject.

Proper Injection Techniques and Angles: A Pharmacist's Essential Guide
Pharmacists, especially those working in community pharmacies or clinics, often go beyond the traditional role of dispensing medications. Administering injections to patients is a critical part of their responsibilities. However, giving injections requires more than just skill—it demands precise knowledge of the proper techniques, angles, and procedures to ensure safety and effectiveness. Administering an injection at the wrong angle can lead to complications such as tissue damage, infections, and even improper absorption of the medication. Therefore, understanding the correct techniques is vital for both patient safety and the pharmacist's professional competence.
