Jordan Peterson: Cambridge University pulls fellowship for controversial philosopher

A controversial Canadian academic who once called on women to stand up against their “crazy, harpy sisters”, has had the offer of a fellowship rescinded by the University of Cambridge.

Jordan Peterson, 56, who has starkly divided global opinion with his views on topics such as masculinity, political correctness and the gender pay gap, had expected to take up a fellowship with the Faculty of Divinity.

5k Entries Now Accepted

You can now register for the annual Santa 5K that brings the community together for the last 5K of the season and gets participants into the holiday spirit whilst giving back to the Rotary Club. On December 7, 2019, be sure to get your running shoes ready and have yourself a merry little holiday race when you join us for the Santa Run.

When running in winter, it is important to remember to shorten your strides. Because winters in Chicagoland are always unpredictable, a shorter stride allows you to be balanced with potential icy and slushy terrain and allows your body to warm up more. With that being said, if you see ice patches on your run, it is safer to walk over those to avoid slipping and ruining your winter run.

Dressing right is an important aspect of enjoying your winter run. You will be provided with a Santa Suit for the Arlington Heights Rotary Santa Run, but you should be prepared to dress warmly under that. Dressing in layers is the best way to be prepared for colder weather. Remembering to wear warmer socks and a hat is a huge factor into how comfortable you will be on your run. Having them be festive is a bonus for our 5K. Wearing running shoes with traction on them also makes it easier for you to enjoy your running without slipping every which way.

Combat the cold by warming your body both before and after the race. Before running in the cold, be sure to warm up with some stretching or simply jumping in place to get your body ready to run. After completing the 5K, warm up your body with something warm like hot chocolate by a warm fire. Warm up with us at our after race celebration at various locations throughout Arlington Heights.

The final thing to consider before embarking on your winter run is to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! When doing physical activities outdoors in the winter, your body may forget that it needs just as much hydration as it would when running in hot summery weather. Drinking a lot of water before, during, and after the race is how you get the most out of your winter running experience.

Running 5Ks is something that brings the running community together but also brings the Arlington Heights community together for a good cause in a fun and festive way. We hope to see you there! Register today HERE.

New Grief Book

SEATTLE – Nov. 22, 2019 – PRLog — AlyBlue Media, publisher of the largest collection of anthology stories about loss and grief, announces release of the 38th title in the award-winning Grief diaries series, Surviving Loss by Overdose.

A compilation of stories by surviving family members, the book challenges societal stigma, lays bare the death of indignity that comes from overdose, and exposes the problems behind the struggles to find help amid societal judgment.

According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, there were over 70,237 drug overdose deaths in 2017, an average of 192 each day in the U.S. According to the National Institutes of Health, stigma related to drug use may increase overdose risk, and the effectiveness of overdose prevention may be improved by reducing discrimination against people who use drugs.

“An addict carries the stigmatized visual of someone who had no home and lived on the fringe of society. Emily always had a roof over her head, food in her stomach, clean clothes to wear, and a family who loved her,” states Kimberly Calais, whose 23-year-old daughter died from an overdose in 2016. “People from every walk of life seem to have the opinion that addicts are just dirty losers. My daughter was once just like your little girl.”

“The stigma surrounding substance abuse is killing our loved ones and preventing them from getting treatment. We view drug addicts as criminals and regard jail time as treatment,” states coauthor Whitney O’Brien, whose 23-year-old brother died from an overdose in 2016. “There needs to be change in this country. The stories shared in this book can and will serve a purpose.”

“As an R.N., I was appalled at how my son was treated, especially by medical personnel. We are not to pass judgment—we are to save lives. The stigma was alive in every detox and emergency room he was treated in,” shares MaryBeth Cichocki, whose 37-year-old son died in 2015 from a Percocet overdose after being treated by a pain management clinic.
