<span class="dateline" style="box-sizing: border-box;">TBILISI, Georgia –  </span>Tigers, lions, a #hippopotamus and other animals escaped from the zoo in Georgia's capital after heavy flooding destroyed their enclosures, prompting authorities to warn residents in Tbilisi to stay inside Sunday. At least 12 people have been killed in the disaster, including three zoo workers.</div>

An escaped hippo was cornered in one of the city's main squares and subdued with a tranquilizer gun, the zoo said. Some other animals also have been seized, but it remained unclear how many are on the loose. Bears and wolves are also among the animals who fled from their enclosures amid the flooding from heavy rains and high winds.</div>

There were immediate reports that any of the fatalities were due to animal attacks. The zoo said one of the dead was Guliko Chitadze, a zookeeper who lost an arm in an attack by a tiger last month; the Interfax news agency said her husband also died in the flooding.</div>

"Not all the animals who ran away from the zoo have been captured. Therefore, I want to ask the populace to refrain from moving about the city without" an urgent need to, mayor David Narmania said.</div>

A full accounting of what animals were missing wasn't immediately possible because a large part of the zoo remained underwater, zoo spokeswoman Khaati Batsilaishvili told The Associated Press.</div>

Heavy rains and wind hit Tbilisi during the night, turning a normally small stream that runs through the hilly city into a surging river. The flooding also damaged dozens of houses.</div>

Helicopters circled the city and volunteers and rescue workers labored to help those whose residences were damaged or destroyed, despite the potential danger from the escaped animals. About 1.1 million people live in the former Soviet republic's capital.</div>

The head of the Georgian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Ilia II, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as telling a Sunday Mass that Georgia's former Communist rulers could be seen as involved in the disaster.</div>

"When Communists came to us in this country, they ordered that all crosses and bells of the churches be melted down and the money used to build the zoo," he said.

A world without mosquitoes would have no malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever or parasitic bot flies. But aside form spreading disease and driving humans crazy with their itchy, little bites, would things be any different without them? Maybe not. Scientists have projected that if they were to disappear off the face of the Earth tomorrow, everything would look pretty much the same (except that as many as 200 million people worldwide wouldn't contract malaria and we could travel to hotter climes without fear of being eaten alive by the winged pests).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
There are 3,500 species of mosquito on every continent and in every habitat around the world. What role do they play in the ecosystems they live in? Mosquitoes drink flower nectar, causing pollination (like bees). In the Arctic, mosquito swarms get so thick, they darken the sky; some researchers say this plays an essential role in directing migrating birds north. They also serve as food for bats, birds, fish, and a number of other animals (including other mosquitoes). According to a study conducted by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the population of some tundra birds could drop by as much as 50 percent if mosquitoes were to disappear.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
Despite this, scientists in North America and Africa are trying to wipe mosquitos off the planet through a number of techniques, including <a href="http://testu.be/1HhuWUh" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.1s; color: #0185ca; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.1s; word-wrap: break-word;">killing off female mosquitoes</a> and using various pesticides and insecticides. Should be we trying to rid the world of mosquitoes? Maybe inhibiting their ability to spread diseases would be a better strategy?

SEX ADDICT, AN INTIMACY DISORDER

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<br />There's something about #sex addiction that not only raises eyebrows but also furrows them. "So what?," people tend to say about a supposed sex addict. "Can't he just control himself?<img height="132" src="https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/996130_776083299172226_212012703140293177_n.jpg?oh=26dc60a99183bf2276da389b9caeb5c2&oe=55FE615B" width="200" /></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
"The recently released movie "Thanks for Sharing" frames the subject accordingly. When Gwyneth Paltrow's character learns her beau, played by Mark Ruffalo, is a recovering sex addict, she voices the predictable doubt and bewilderment: "Isn't that something that guys just say when they get caught cheating?"</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
http://datakiss.blogspot.com/p/humans.html</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<br />Judging by the characters portrayed in this film, no.<br />Addiction is the failure to rein in behavior that threatens someone's life and everything dear to it. "Thanks for Sharing" depicts just that through the experiences of four addicts, who endure heartbreak, turmoil and trauma as they coax each other on the bumpy path toward sobriety. One character struggles to transition from an ascetic, sex-free recovery to one that includes a relationship. Another, court-ordered to attend a recovery program, soothes himself in cycles of porn watching and binge eating, and ultimately loses his dream job as a physician after getting caught trying to record a video beneath his boss' skirt.<br />The film gets it right, and also reflects what sex addiction is really about – "an underlying intimacy disorder," says Robert Weiss, founder of The Sexual Recovery Institute in Los Angeles. The characters display "the struggles [sex addicts] have around plain old intimacy, being vulnerable, being real, telling the truth," he says, adding that "people that have these kinds of issues don't just struggle in one way. They struggle in multiple ways."<br />While there may be more talk of sex addiction these days – with the term bandied about amid the slew of sex scandals that have riveted national media – sex addiction remains deeply misunderstood, experts say. "We don't have Betty Fords for this issue," says Weiss, explaining that until the first lady put a public face on the problem of alcohol addiction in the early '80s, alcoholics were considered bums.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
process addictions such as food, gambling, sex and spending, Weiss says society has "a lot of moral judgement about those people – much like we did around drugs and alcohol 30 years ago."<br />Like other addictions, this one is fueled by anxiety, depression or other deep-seeded emotional vulnerability – not by reason and rationale. In 85 to 90 percent of cases, the addict has suffered some kind of abuse, says Jill Bley, a Cincinnati-based clinical psychologist and sex therapist. Consequently, treating the addiction requires identifying and dealing with the trauma.<br />While the addiction may take various forms – from compulsive masturbation to voyeurism to victimizing another  person– the disorder is classified as such when it interferes with healthy functioning. As a result, sex – ostensibly, the ultimate act of connection – becomes a way of avoiding intimacy.<br />"Sex addicts are looking for controllable sources of getting themselves fed emotionally," Weiss says. Real intimacy requires risk, vulnerability and being loved for who you are. Sex addicts, however, may struggle with self-esteem or narcissism, and avoids the self-disclosure and authenticity that would lead to that, he explains.<br />According to Weiss, about 5 to 8 percent of the population are sex addicts, one-third of whom are women. As stigmatized as the issue is, it's even more so for women, who are less inclined to get help, he says.</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Treatment typically begins with a 30-day period of abstinence. Without the coping mechanism of sex, the addict becomes emotionally ready for therapy, which is "when the real work begins," Weiss says. Ultimately, individual therapy is followed by couple's counseling, if and when the addict is involved with a romantic partner, to help the addict develop a healthy intimate relationship.</h4>

<b><span style="background: white; color: #141823; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Therapists try to teach intimacy on every level
– intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and sexually – with one person, Bley
says. "That's hard for all of us, but it's really hard for people with an
intimacy problem." And yet, it works. "When they learn that, and
really get it, it's kind of beautiful to watch," she says. "It's a
real transition, and their partner feels it." As with any addict, the
first step for sex addicts to get healthy is realizing they need help. After
reaching that milestone, it's critical to get help as soon as possible, Bley
says. <i>"Really look at yourself, try
hard to overcome your personal denial before some tragedy happens in your life
that is threatening to ruin you."</i> One way to determine if you have a
problem is to go cold turkey, so to speak. For example, if watching porn feels
compulsive, eliminate it from your life for 30 days. If you can do that,
without replacing it with another pleasurable obsession such as food or
alcohol, then you're in control. But if not, seek out a 12-step program and a
therapist trained in addiction, preferably sexual addiction, who understands
the vulnerabilities at the root of the disorder, Weiss says. "We're
designed to connect. We're designed to be in community. We pair bond," he
says. Sex addicts "either don't know how, or they're too frightened.”</span></b><o:p> </o:p></h4>
