Sexting

      Sexting is the sending of provocative or sexual photos, messages or videos. They are generally sent using a mobile phone but can also include posting this type of material online. While sharing suggestive images or text messages may seem like innocent flirting or be considered funny for young people, sexting can have serious social and legal consequences. What do I need to know?

 

Stay calm and delete

 

If you have sent a picture or video you regret to a friend or your girlfriend/boyfriend ask them to delete it immediately. If it is posted online then un-tag yourself and report it so it can be removed. Ask friends you trust to help hunt down images and also delete and/or report those images. If you think it would help you could tell a trusted adult at school and they may be able to send a note to students directing them to delete any private photos or videos they have received without naming you.

 

Report it

 

If someone else has posted sexual or naked photos or videos of you online, report them to the service they posted it on. If they are at your school you can report them to a teacher if you choose to. It is not OK for them to share your image without your permission.

 

Try to relax and talk to someone

 

If the video or image has already spread online, try to stay calm. You might like to have a free and confidential talk with Kids Helpline. You can phone them on 1800 551 800 for advice and how to handle the situation. You might also want to tell your parents. It is possible they may find out some other way. They might be upset, angry or in shock, so you might like to ask a trusted friend or relative to help.

 

What if the police get involved?

 

The Police sometimes need to become involved in sexting cases where creating and/or distributing sexual images with minors constitutes the production and/or distribution of child pornography. This differs under state laws.

Where the Police are involved, it’s best to be honest. Tell them how the video/image was made and where it might have been sent/posted. They will want to know who was involved and whether there was consent from all involved. Their concern is preventing any harm to you and other young people.

 

Take care of yourself

 

Avoid looking at the video/image and any comments. Distract yourself by spending time with friends and family that you trust. Remember to stay positive. Many people have had similar experiences. Stay strong, you will be ok.

Northern Star

Call it recycling opportunity. After their failed bid to host the 2004 Summer Olympics, Stockholm city

leaders decided to turn a would-be sports village in the Hammarby Sjostad district into one of the world\\'s most successful eco-villages. The practices of powering buses with biogas, recycling rainwater for irrigation and using organic waste for fertilizer spread to other districts of Sweden\\'s largest city. Today the city\\'s water is so clean that fishermen actually stand on bridges in the central business district, catching fresh salmon and trout.

 

Stockholm was named the first European Green Capital in 2010. Since then, green innovation has become a pillar of Swedish national competitiveness. With its target to become a fossil-fuel-free city by 2050, Stockholm hopes to turn green into gold by exporting smart power to an energy-conscious world.

 

Construction has just begun at the new Royal Seaport, where a smart grid will allow renewable energy (including solar and wind power) to flow among the homes and offices of residents. Buildings will become "green houses" that not only use but also store green energy and then feed it back into the grid whenever possible. This should enable yearly carbon emissions to be reduced to less than 1.5 tons per person by 2020 — well below the U.S. average of 20 tons. Ships will be able to plug in and charge up using the onshore electric grid, meaning they can shut off noisy engines, making the harbor an area more attractive to live in.

 

Delegations from nearby Copenhagen and Helsinki and places as far-flung as China have become regulars in Stockholm, taking notes on how the city government is building out its grid through publicprivate partnerships involving Finnish utilities and Swiss engineering titan ABB.

 

The next step is to export Stockholm\\'s smart energy to the world. Denmark, for example, is connected by underwater cables. There\\'s talk of using such physical connections to enable development of a pan-European energy grid that would theoretically allow all of Scandinavia to export wind and hydropower southward. Swedish historian Gunnar Wetterberg made waves when he called for the five Scandinavian countries to form a United Nordic Federation in the next 20 years. There\\'d be plenty of votes for Stockholm as its capital.

TEXT NECK: A Global Epidemic 

 

      Living in the modern digital age certainly has its benefits. We all enjoy the conveniences contemporary electronic technology offers, especially our mobile handheld devices. How did we ever live without the endless amounts of information, instant results and ability to interact and communicate, all at our fingertips? However, with all the advantages we gain from mobile technology comes the risk of serious and permanent health problems.

     TEXT NECK IS A GLOBAL EPIDEMIC! \\'Text Neck\\' is a world-wide health concern, affecting millions of all ages and from all walks of life. Widespread overuse of handheld mobile technology is resulting in a harmful and dangerous physical condition on the human body, which is known as Text Neck. Dr. Dean Fishman is a Chiropractor in Plantation Florida, and a leading health care provider for technology induced injuries. Dr. Fishman originated the phrase \\'Text Neck\\' to explain the repeated stress injury to the body caused by excessive texting and overuse of all handheld electronic devices. The term, and the health condition, is derived from the onset of cervical spinal degeneration resulting from the repeated stress of frequent forward head flexion while looking down at the screens of mobile devices and \\'texting\\' for long periods of time. While \\'Text Neck\\' is certainly a new medical term, the condition is impacting millions and is a growing critical global concern.

      Of the 6 billion people in the world, over 4 billion have mobile phones. Texting has become the dominant form of communication. Over one billion text messages are sent every month worldwide. On the Average, Americans spend 2.7 hours per day communicating and socializing on their phones, and even more time looking down at their mobile devices for web searching and so many other uses. Of course, Text Neck is not limited to the results of texting and overuse of cell phones. People of all ages spend countless hours daily hunched over numerous types of handheld devices. Mobile technology has been designed for just about every application. Tablets, PDA, MP3, game consoles, e-readers, media players, digital camera and video recorders, the list goes on and on.

     While 75% of the world\\'s population spends hours daily hunched over their handheld devices with their heads flexed forward, they are all in constant danger and at risk of developing Text Neck. The frequent forward flexion causes changes in the cervical spine, curve, supporting ligaments, tendons, and musculature, as well as the bony segments, commonly causing postural change. Among the chief complaints associated with are pain felt in the neck, shoulder, back, arm, fingers, hands, wrists and elbows, as well as headaches and numbness and tingling of the upper extremities.

      If left untreated, Text Neck can result in serious permanent damage including:

 

Flattening of the Spinal Curve Onset of Early Arthritis

Spinal Degeneration Spinal Misalignment

Disc Herniation Disc Compression

Muscle Damage Nerve Damage

Loss of Lung Volume Capacity Gastrointestinal Problems

     

     In his quest to treat those suffering from the painful and harmful affects of Text Neck, Dr. Dean Fishman founded the Text Neck Institute in Plantation, Florida. Leading the way and breaking new ground, Dr. Fishman is a pioneer in treating technology related injuries. The Text Neck Institute is at the forefront of advanced tech-injury research and treatment. Included in our treatment for Text Neck is Chiropractic Care, Physiotherapy, Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, Spinal Decompression Therapy, and Excercise Planning.

      Dr. Fishman is an outspoken advocate of Text Neck Prevention through \\'Proper Use\\' education. Dr. Dean Fishman is respected as an authority in educating mobile technology users how to utilize their hand held devices properly, allowing them to enjoy modern technology without suffering from Text Neck. He has also created \\'The Text Neck Indicator,\\' a Mobile Application that alerts users when they are operating their mobile device in an \\'at-risk\\' position, triggering that user to maintain safe and risk-free operation.
