recently changed to exclude any specification of sexual orientation and now identify more people as eligible for vaccines. The Department of Public Health & Environment now recognizes people of any sexual orientation or gender identity who have had close contact with a person infected with monkeypox or multiple known or unknown sex partners as eligible individuals who may qualify for a vaccine.

Colorado vaccine specifications

“This is not a sexually transmitted disease, which I think is being lost in some of the conversation as well,” said Maggie Hendrickson of the Colorado State University Pride Resource Center. “It’s spread by close contact, and some of the close contact people have is through sex.”

As the number of monkeypox infections has risen, so too have the confusion and controversy surrounding the disease.

According to WHO, mon keypox is a self-limited disease, which means in most cases, symptoms will subside on their own over time.

According to WHO, there are numerous flu-like symptoms associated with monkeypox that commonly appear first, but the most recognizable symptom is a rash, which may appear several days after contraction of monkeypox and last around two to four weeks.

People who are at higher risk of developing serious health complications as a result of contracting monkeypox have been identified by WHO and CDC as infants, children, pregnant individuals and immunocompromised individuals.

Clearing confusion surrounding the monkeypox virus

Other questions being investigated ask who is at risk of catching or spreading monkeypox and who may be more likely to develop serious health complications as a result of monkeypox.

Limited information about the monkeypox virus exists at this time, so guidelines and best practices are underdeveloped and continue to change.As health professionals do what they can to learn about monkeypox, new information and shifting regulations hint that our understanding of this disease and the populations it may impact must remain open to new information.

The New England Journal of Medicine article also includes information regarding how

“I’m happy that they’re removing the stigmatizing language about it because anyone can get monkeypox: any gender, any sexual orientation,” Hendrickson said.

questions about monkeypox mainly revolve around how it spreads and who it may impact, two areas that are being continuously studied in universities and labs across the globe. Though not every answer is definite, some facts have been established.

According to an article from The New England Journal of Medicine, monkeypox was first identified in humans in the 1970s and has remained endemic in some regions of Africa since. The article says few outbreaks of monkeypox have been known to occur outside of these regions until April 2022, when cases began to be diagnosed in countries around the Accordingworld.to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, as of Sept. 14, known cases in the U.S. are more than 23,000. The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment website states Colorado has had 291 human cases as of Sept. 21.

the people studied developed a rash. Rashes that first appeared in the genital or anal regions or inside the mouth indicated to doctors that the individual contracted monkeypox through sexual activity, which was the suspected transmission route in 95% of the individuals.

For those who are at higher risk of serious health complications, treatments are available but in limited supply, so contact your health provider or view details about vaccine availability on Larimer County’s website.

From the few available studies that address the current monkeypox outbreak, the one from The New England Journal of Medicine examines the demographics of infected people as well as the circumstances surrounding their contraction of monkeypox.

This rash consists of lesions that may appear on the skin — on the genital and anal regions, face, feet, palms, inside the mouth, etc. — and has been mistaken for established sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis.

Jason Farley, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, was paraphrased in an NBC article saying “when a disease is defined as a sexually transmitted infection that mainly affects men who have sex with men, many people may begin to think of it as ‘a gay disease’ that poses no risk to them.” Farley mentioned the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, saying this kind of rationale led to the spread of HIV to other demographics at that time.

In this study of 528 confirmed cases of monkeypox from 16 countries, 98% of individuals were gay or bisexual men, and 95% of

STD would only hinder progress and fuel stigmatization.

Previously, high-risk individuals were largely identified based on criteria that took into account whether or not a person was gay, bisexual or sexually active with other men specifically. Now, WHO identifies “people who live with or have close contact (including sexual contact) with someone who has monkeypox” as the group with the highest likelihood of contracting the virus.

One question being posed across medical and media outlets is whether monkeypox is classified as an STD, and the answer is yet to be determined. Although transmissions suspected to be correlated to the act of sex are exceedingly high at this time, some argue labeling monkeypox as an

When it comes to the spread of monkeypox, several modes of transmission have been identified. According to the World Health Organization, “it can be transmitted through contact with bodily fluids, lesions on the skin or on internal mucosal surfaces, such as in the mouth or throat, respiratory droplets and contaminated objects.”

Our editor cannabis adventure started in the newsroom about two weeks ago, when I was underprepared to pitch the next two weeks’ content. With some quick thinking, I made a plan for this week and labeled one future article simply: “Paul’s edible adventure.” I was going to make edibles with minimal guidance from the internet.

Serena Bettis, our editor in chief, decided to accompany me on this adventure (and supervise).

Our adventure started at Green Dragon dispensary, where I realized two things: First, when going on a cannabis adventure, it is best not to forget your ID at home. Second, an ounce is way more than a gram. After eventually acquiring half an ounce of Green Dragon’s cheapest indica

From there, I only had three jobs: eat semisweet chocolate chips, man age the cannabis timer and descend into madness (Bettis didn’t trust me to bake). I can safely say I did two of those things with great skill, and the cannabis timer wasn’t one of them.

Our canna-dough made about 40 or so cookies at about 15 milligrams of THC each. Bettis was a wizard forming the cookies. I was less so, due to my aforementioned descent into madness. Fortunately, we soon had the dough prepared, a Netflix movie on and cookies in the oven.

run to the grocery store and hiatus waiting for our camera crew, we got to work.

There was one issue: Bettis and I are not very good stoners. I can count on my own two hands how many times I’ve been high before, and Bettis, the baking savant she is, had never gotten high. Fortunately, we had the internet, gumption and a camera crew who knew more about this than us.

Once I got back to my house, the second cookie hit. That was a doozie, but it was the third and fourth ones that really got me. From there, my experience quickly turned from weird to transcendent. Every stimulus was amped up to about 11, and I felt stuck about half a second in the past. I was dry-mouthing out the wazoo, and getting a glass of water turned into an almost Herculean task. Fortunately, when I finally lied down in my darkened room, I passed out until 1 p.m. the next8/10day. cannabis experience.

At the end of the movie, we all bid ado, and I caught a ride back to my place. That, of course, is when the edibles started to hit. I found myself unable to hold together any semblance of coherent thought, and I couldn’t remember what happened five seconds ago. One cookie processed.

tasted so good. About an hour into the movie, I felt nothing, so I had a third. Then, I had a fourth 30 minutes later.

I went to my grandma to see if she had a kitchen torch of some kind since she cooked every day. I had no luck, so I next went to my grandpa, who is a handyman, pray ing he’d have an option for me. I asked, “Grandpa, do you have a torch I can borrow?”

He knew exactly what it was for, just not how I would be using it. He responded with, “What the hell you smoking out there that you need a torch? Crack?” Since he’s an old er man not so much with the new times, I gave him some grace. Ulti mately, he had a massive torch, and I used the hell out of that thing.

When you register your party, your information, such as phone number and address, is given to dispatchers at Fort Collins Police Services so that if there is a noise complaint called in, a police officer can contact you to let you know you received a complaint. From then, you have 20 minutes to shut it down, or the police can come and have the authority to issue a citation.

At this point, if the host took the time to register their party with OffCampus Life but they received a noise complaint and shut the party down, they would then be unable to use the system supposedly designed to protect them for another 30 days.

This is a successful part of the registration system that benefits both students and Fort Collins residents. Students avoid a noise citation — an honestly overemphasized punishment — and Fort Collins residents do not have to deal with loud parties all the time.

Instead, they are punished when they get a noise complaint call regardless, even if the police never show up. If the police never show up, the hosts have likely quieted the party down, and their neighbors felt no need to place another complaint.

Sciammas also suggested the system should reward students who use it with an incentive program, such as giving them priority with RamRides. “Ifthecops call and say they received a complaint and are on their way to your house, then they get there and there are no loud noises and nothing illegal going on, then (the people who registered the party) should not be banned from using the system,” Sciammas said.

“It is nice that the parking situation has improved after a few weeks, but the fact that it needed to be improved is the problem.”

Parking passes are not a cheap expense at Colorado State University. The annual cost for a Z permit pass, allowing the permit holder to access the Z, R and ZR parking spots, is a whopping $584. That kind of money is enough to buy a PlayStation 5 — so you would also expect, at the very least, to be able to park in the lot you paid for.

For the unfortunate folks who paid for their passes but had to resort to the pay-to-park lots, that sucks. That’s a lot of money spent to proceed to pay more as a last resort.

The average cost of base tuition and fees this school year for an in-state undergraduate student taking 12 credit hours is $6,208.46 per semester. Tack on nearly $600 for a parking pass, and that is nearly $7,000, not including additional fees and expenditures. That is a lot of cash to dish out to the university and begs the question of why someone should

CU Boulder system of parking or simply remove a lot’s worth of permits from the available list if the number of passes sold exceeds the number of spots available. If not either of these, lower the permit prices to account for not having enough spots, and be transparent with students. Action before an issue arises is much better than a reaction after the issue has already occurred.

I would be willing to pay for a cheaper parking pass even if the parking situation was not the greatest. The issue lies with the fact that they force us to pay an arm and a leg for a parking situation that does not guarantee a spot.

Like airlines oversell tickets, CSU oversold parking passes. Instead of figuring out where to put the excess cars before the semester started, CSU waited until Sept. 8 to send out an email detailing additional parking locations for pass holders.

While polyamory provides an alternative to monogamy that many find beneficial in practice, it isn’t for everyone. Maybe you’ve found success and romance in a monogamous relationship, and that’s great.

Regardless, core tenets of polyamory such as respect, trust and communication can still be applied to any relationship — even those that aren’t romantic.

You and your partner(s) set the rules in a polyamorous relationship. This reliance on healthy communication can be a benefit for many people. Martinez echoed this in her speech, saying, “When you know your preferences, you can ask for them upfront. When you ask for them upfront, you can give yourself grace to change your mind.”

When author Sophie Johnson spoke of her experience as a polyamorous person with New York Magazine, she said, “At some point, we got this idea that there was such a thing as ‘the one,’ and this person had to satisfy every little minutia of need, which is so unrealistic. It’s just not possible.”

Polyamory might be a buzzword in the mouths of young collegeaged individuals looking to explore themselves sexually, but that doesn’t mean it’s widely understood.

especially when a partner violates a relational agreement,” Conley and Moors state in “More Oxygen Please!” “For example, one agreement might be that sex should not occur with a new partner without prior permission from other partner(s). Conflict could emerge if one partner then had a fling without prior approval.”

Three people hold hands Sept. 11. The union between the three sets of hands represents polyamory.

According to Chapter 16, “The Monogamous Couple, Gender Hegemony and Polyamory,” in the book “Gender Reckonings” by Mimi Schippers, “The word ‘polyamory’ means multiple loves and refers to emotionally and sometimes sexually intimate relationships with more than one person. Though we don’t have numbers on the extent of polyamory, it is estimated that people in consensually

“When I was in middle school, it was one man, one woman, for a lifetime,” Martinez said.

nonmonogamous relationships number in the millions.”

As society rapidly changes and we move toward new structures of communication, new structures surrounding relationships are created. Research has become more prevalent within the fields of gender and sexuality, and we are beginning to understand relationship structures that are outside the “traditional” one.

This brings up many of the common misunderstandings of polyamory: that it’s usually one person’s idea and the other person in the relationship is going along with it or that those in polyamorous or open relationships can’t be truly happy or fulfilled — or at least not to the extent they would be in monogamous relationships. These misconceptions simply are not true.

One of these relationship structures is polyamory.

Within the notion of offering more in social capital, polyamory encourages participants to seek their needs in multiple people instead of putting that responsibility on one individual.

In 2022, who can really define love?

The paper argues that in polyamorous relationships, the individuals retain more of their autonomy due to a phenomenon in monogamous relationships wherein “as a couple progresses toward cohabitation both partners withdraw from their respective social networks.” On the contrary, polyamorous relationships offer individuals looser restrictions with their social network, which supports them to maintain their socialThisnetwork.notionwas echoed by Luna Martinez in her TEDxCSU talk.

In fact, research suggests polyamory might provide solutions to the relationship structure that monogamy alone cannot. In the academic inquiry article “More Oxygen Please!: How Polyamorous Relationship Strategies Might Oxygenate Marriage,” authors Terri Conley and Amy Moors wrote, “We propose that people engaged in polyamory may be navigating their higher altitude needs in relationships more effectively than people in monogamous relationships.”

“I realized (law) is not what I was going to do, so it was like, ‘Well, what am I going to do? … What do I really love?’” Shanker said. “I love sports.”

“No one day looks the same as the next,” Shanker said.

Shanker, directorassociateseniorathleticsforcompliance, explains her role in Athletics at Colorado State University Sept. 18. ”I love what I do,” Shanker said. “I went to law school; I thought I wanted to be a lawyer, and I quickly realized that was not the path for me and started working in athletics in my second year of law school. I absolutely fell in love with it.”

“There are going to be massive changes, and I just want us to keep up and be proactive as much as we can and help our coaches.”

For most, the seemingly endless responsibilities would cause disorga nized chaos in mind and spirit, but it seems quite the opposite for Shanker, whose office sits in perfect order. The only clutter that could be spot ted was two neatly stacked piles of paperwork on her desk. Even more tidy than her herhowever,office,isemailinbox.“Idon’tlikeafullemail,soI’mhorrible,inagoodway,aboutansweringemailsimmediately,”Shankersaid.“Iknowhow

a law student at the University of Kansas, Shanker found that after a year of her studies, they weren’t the path for her. She decided to listen to those around her with the advice of doing something she loved, and sports was thethingfirstonhermind.

“There are going to be massive changes, and I just want us to keep up and be proactive as much as we can and help our coaches,” Shanker said.

“She’s just a great representative for our Athletics department and university,” Boone said.

It often seems that yet another university’s athletic department is under fire for breaking rules set by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Paying student-athletes under the table, discrimination based on sex or race and faulty recruitment are just some examples of where athletics departments go wrong whenShalinioperating.Shanker is the senior associate athletics director for compliance and the senior woman administrator for Colorado State University Athletics. She oversees the Compliance Office, whose main purpose is to teach coaches and student-athletes about NCAA rules and to make sure rules are being followed by anyone involved in Previouslyathletics.

“I tell people the single greatest moment of my career is when I got to hand our softball team the championship trophy in 2019 when they won the conference championship,” Shanker said. “I supervised that program longer than any other. … To see their growth and to finally have that and reach that mountaintop — that’s the highlight.”

Shanker also serves as the deputy Title IX coordinator for Athletics, which means she makes sure male and female student-athletes are being offered equal opportunities at CSU. She is a member of the Mountain West Conference Joint Council, and she is involved in “almost all aspects of student-athlete welfare issues.”

Megan Boone is the assistant athletic director for compliance, and she works with Shanker to uphold the university’s standard of NCAA compliance. In her office lies the NCAA manual, a thick binder full of bylaws that, according to Boone, are “split up by subject area.” Each member of the Compliance Office handles certain subject areas, all of which are overseen by Shanker.

to prioritize. … I have a lot of to-do lists; I have like three different types of todo lists. I have calendars: a monthly calendar for compliance and a monthly calendar for all of my other duties so I stay on track.”

With the ever-changing landscape of college athletics — including the shifts of schools between conferences and athletes using the transfer portal seemingly more than ever before — Shanker’s only goal moving forward is to continue to support studentathletes and coaches.

One of Shanker’s biggest inspirations is the growth she’s able to facilitate in student-athletes at CSU. Her biggest accomplishment, she said, was not when she witnessed the University of Florida win national championships in basketball and football when she worked there years ago. Instead, it was right here at CSU.

Another of Shanker’s responsibilities is the role of sport administrator for five Division I sports at CSU. She is the immediate supervisor for issues regarding women’s basketball, volleyball, softball, cross country and track and field. For a number of matters, including scheduling, hiring and budgeting, the head coaches of these programs go to Shanker for guidance.

The Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado, and The Gardens on Spring Creek collaborate to house hundreds of North American butterflies.

According to its website, the Butterfly House is a joint partnership between the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado, and The Gardens on Spring Creek. Working together, they house hundreds of North American butterflies. Brionna McCumber is the main butterfly keeper for the exhibit at Spring Creek.

“I think a lot of people don’t realize that there is a full-time butterfly house here in Fort Collins,” McCumber said. “It’s a worthwhile place to visit — to learn, you know, a little more about butterflies and insects in general.”

According to the website, adult tickets were $25 if bought in advance. These proceeds are used to continue the restorations of all the Poudre Landmarks Foundation’s historical homes.

However, if you prefer a fully guided tour, a 45-minute tour of the Avery House is available for those who appreciate a more in-depth explanation of the history, said Sarah Tisdale, one of the volunteer docents.

Now, they still implement 15-minute time intervals for groups of people to see the butterflies along with the option to wear face masks, something McCumber deemed helpful in keeping the exhibit running safely.
