Prescribed medication for mental health issues works for some, but not others. In fact, a study measuring the prevalence of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in the UK found that 55% of participants met the study's definition of TRD. Seeking out alternative treatments often becomes the next step for people who do not respond well to medication. Assistant professor David Olson at the University of California, Davis, explains:
"Mind-altering drugs are already being used in the clinic. Ketamine is being prescribed off-label to [treat] depression, and MDMA is entering phase three [the most advanced phase] of clinical trials to treat post-traumatic stress disorder."
And so, an increasingly popular trend in recent years has been self-administering small doses of psychedelic drugs, such as LSD or magic mushrooms, as an attempt to improve mental health. This is known as micro-dosing. Psychedelic drugs elicit hallucinations, intensified emotions, and changes in sensory feedback and the perception of time when taken in full doses; but, when taken in smaller amounts (approximately one-tenth of a full dose), these drugs are thought by some to be linked to improved mood and energy, reduced anxiety, better focus, and enhanced creativity.
Twenty-seven-year-old Erica Avey, who was interviewed by The Guardian's magazine, was experiencing mental health difficulties and decided to try micro-dosing on LSD:
"I started micro-dosing essentially because I was in a really depressed stage of my life. It was for mental health reasons – mood balancing, mood management. It was hard for me to leave my apartment and do normal things…"
By taking approximately one-sixth (about 15 micrograms) of a full dose of LSD every three days, Erika says she was able to go to work, and function normally:
"It lifted me out of a pretty deep depression. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what it has done to me in the long-term. I think it has changed me."
Not only does Erica consider micro-dosing to have helped her feel less depressed, she says it made her less ruminative and more self-aware:
"I'm able to be more mindful of my emotions. If I'm feeling sad, that's OK. I don't obsess anymore. I don't dwell on it. I don't get worked up about it."
And some have tried micro-dosing to help with depression and low mood. Ayelet Waldman, author of A Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My Marriage, and My Life, says she had no luck with conventional medications, claiming that micro-dosing on LSD saved her from her intolerable mood storms, changing her life for the better.
The subject of psychedelic micro-dosing remains relatively untouched by researchers. The first study on the micro-dosing of psychedelics was only conducted in 2017 by Thomas Anderson of the University of Toronto, along with York University's Rotem Petranker, and colleagues. The study looked at over 300 micro-dosers in the Reddit community to examine the effects of micro-dosing on mental health. The authors found that micro-dosers tend to harbour less dysfunctional attitudes, exhibit less negative emotionality, and score higher on measures of wisdom, open-mindedness, and creativity. In an interview with The Trauma and Mental Health Report, author Thomas Anderson spoke about the widespread population of micro-dosers:
"The population was surprisingly well-spread… across all sorts of socioeconomic statuses, and all sorts of different occupations. Micro-dosing was most popular among students… but there was just a huge spread—everything from lawyers, to computer scientists, software developers, professors, construction workers, janitors, and single moms."
Although most micro-dosers in the study reported improved mood, some experienced negative effects, as Rotem Petranker cautions:
"There were a lot of parallels in reported benefits and drawbacks of micro-dosing. Some people were reporting better focus, and some people were reporting worse focus, or some people were reporting lower anxiety, and some were reporting higher anxiety. And so it's difficult to parse these results…"
Even with the reported benefits of psychedelic micro-dosing, without randomized placebo-control trials, it is difficult to rule out placebo effects and to draw clear conclusions. These trials are the next step in micro-dosing research.
And then of course, we can't overlook the fact that these drugs are illegal. For micro-dosers, this was the most significant drawback of micro-dosing. Thomas explains:
"The most commonly reported drawback is that it's illegal… that also includes trying to buy substances, and not having a steady supply, and not knowing exactly what you're getting… especially in synthetic cases like LSD. Whenever you're getting a dose on the black market, you don't know exactly what you're getting."
Experimenting with micro-dosing is not for everyone. There are greater risks associated with micro-dosing for those who have experienced psychosis, have ongoing anxiety, or suffer from more severe mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder. This is true for Allan (name changed) from Reddit, who suffers from bipolar disorder:
"My first truly manic episode was after a mushroom trip. I was diagnosed as bipolar soon after…psychedelics can bring on, sometimes extended, bouts of mania and hypomania."
Possible long-term effects, such as increased tolerance to a given drug following repeated use, and side effects of psychedelic micro-dosing remain unknown. Rotem explains:
"One of the concerns was that there is an unknown risk effect profile… we don't know the risks. And the fact that we don't know is one of the drawbacks of micro-dosing."
And so, the jury is still out. Rotem adds:
"There could be a lot of individual differences at play, and since setting is really important in full-dose psychedelics, it may also be the case that setting is important in micro-dosing to some degree… we really just need randomized placebo-control trials to figure out what's what."

Expressing the Inner Voice May Bring Benefits
November 16, 201700Cognition, Featured news, Mental Health, Optimism, Self-Help, Self-Talk November, 17

An app called Dragon Anywhere allows people to talk to their smart phone with no word or time limits. Talking out loud with a piece of technology is socially acceptable these days, but what about when no one or no thing is listening?
Many associate hearing voices or talking to oneself with mental illnesses like schizophrenia. And because these behaviours deviate from the norm, they make people uncomfortable.
But might there be benefits to expressing inner voices out loud?
James McConnell, an American biologist and animal psychologist, has said that talking to oneself is psychologically healthy. And neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor, in her book My Stroke of Insight, argues that speaking out loud makes the mind more focused, and even calls it "a powerful instrument".
In an article in The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swingley discuss the functions of talking to oneself, also known as self-directed speech. Compared to thinking about a word (e.g., chair), hearing a word out loud can make us better visual detectors of that word in our surroundings. Speaking facilitates the search. This phenomenon is called the label feedback hypothesis.
It is unclear, however, whether the label feedback hypothesis can be applied to broader concepts like happiness. Can happiness literally be spoken into existence?
Proponents of positive affirmations think so, noting the benefits of repeating positive statements directed toward oneself. A study at the University of California, Los Angeles, showed that students who repeated positive affirmations produced fewer stress hormones. And another study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin by a team of researchers from Columbia, Berkeley, and Google found positive self-affirmations help those in low-power positions perform better.
Self-talk has other benefits as well. In a PsychCentral piece, Talking to Yourself: A Sign of Sanity, psychologist Linda Sapadin notes that giving voice to our goals focuses attention, controls emotions, and keeps distractions away.
In fact, this may be the best way for some individuals to get organized. While a number of people are visual learners, using calendars and to-do lists, it may be that others do better by simply speaking out loud.
Matt Duczeminski explains in his book 6 Benefits of Talking to Yourself (No, You're Not Crazy) that talking through your thoughts helps distinguish big tasks from smaller ones, for example, getting organized by talking through a to-do list.
But not all self-talk is useful. In fact, talking about our failures and putting ourselves down can be quite harmful. As Sapadin puts it, "That kind of self-talk is worse than no talk at all." And it can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy, where we view ourselves negatively and act accordingly, attracting others who reinforce those beliefs.
The link between negative self-talk and depression is also quite strong. In fact, those who engage in more negative self-talk experience more stress and inferior health, both psychologically and physically. Language and cognition expert, Steven Hayes, says negative thoughts are like passengers in the backseat of the car you're driving. You hear them, but your focus should be on the task ahead.
Another way of coping with negative self-talk is by giving your negative voice a name. Brené Brown, author of the New York Times Bestsellers The Gifts of Imperfection and Daring Greatly, calls her inner critic 'The Gremlin', making light of the little voice inside her head.
So… if you'll listen to yourself, keep talking.
But be kind to you.

Video Games Rated A for Addictive
December 4, 201450Addiction, Depression, Diet, Featured news, Mental Health, Neuroscience, Optimism, Psychopharmacology, Self-Control, Sex, Sleep, Stress, Treatment December, 14
Picture if you will, flashing screens, loud noises, focused faces and a crowd gathered to watch high stakes games; games that end only when you run out of money.
This is not a casino. Those faces are staring at flashing computer screens in an arcade and the high stakes match is actually a video game.
Scenes like this make it possible to view video gaming as an addiction. Like a gambler endlessly playing slots, the video gamer can spend hours on the vice of choice.
Those who consider gaming as addictive highlight similarities between models of addiction and the behaviour of those who can't seem to stop playing video games, despite the consequences
What does it mean to be addicted to a video game? Addiction used to be a term reserved for drug use defined by physical dependency, uncontrollable craving, and increased consumption due to tolerance. Advances in neuroscience show that these drugs tap into the reward system of the brain resulting in a large release of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This is a system normally activated when basic reinforcers are applied, like food or sex. Drugs just do it better.
Gaetano Di Chiara and Assunta Imperato, researchers at the Institute of Experimental Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Cagliani, Italy, found that drugs can cause a release of up to ten times the amount of dopamine normally found in the brain's reward system. This has led to a shift in how addictions are viewed. Any physical substance or behaviour that can "hijack" this dopamine reward system may be viewed as addictive.
When can you be sure that the system has been hijacked? Steve Grant, chief clinical neuroscientist at the National Institute of Drug Abuse, says it happens when there "is continued engagement in self-destructive behaviour despite adverse consequences."
Video games seem to hijack this reward system very efficiently. Certainly Nick Yee, author of the Daedelus Project, thinks so. He explains, "[Video Games] employ well-known behavioral conditioning principles from psychology that reinforce repetitive actions through an elaborate system of scheduled rewards. In effect, the game rewards players to perform increasingly tedious tasks and seduces the player to 'play' industriously." Researchers in the UK found biological evidence that playing video games and achieving these rewards results in the release of dopamine.
This same release of the neurotransmitter occurs during activities considered healthy, such as exercise or work. Since dopamine release is not bad per se, it is not necessarily a problem that video games do the same thing.
In her book, Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World, Jane McGonigal writes, "A game is an opportunity to focus our energy, with relentless optimism, at something we're good at (or getting better at) and enjoy. In other words, game-play is the direct emotional opposite of depression." Playing games can be an easy way to relieve stress and get that satisfaction that comes with dopamine release.
But it is concerning when this search for the dopamine kick becomes preferable to real life, when playing video games replaces activities like socializing with friends and family, exercising, or sleep. Nutrition may begin to suffer as the gamer picks fast-food over proper meals. School-work and job performance suffer as gaming turns into an escape from life. It becomes troubling when video games are used as the main way of coping.
Psychologist Richard Wood says just that in his article Problems with the Concept of Video Game "Addiction": Some Case Study Examples. "It seems that video games can be used as a means of escape…If people cannot deal with their problems, and choose instead to immerse themselves in a game, then surely their gaming behaviour is actually a symptom rather than the specific cause of their problem."
Regardless, there are some unable to stop despite the consequences. In rare cases it has actually caused death, through neglect of a child or physical exhaustion. Excessive video game playing may represent a way of coping with underlying issues. But it becomes its own problem when the impulse to play just can't be denied.
Psychiatrist Kimberly Young, Director of the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery argues that "[gaming addiction is] a clinical impulse control disorder, an addiction in the same sense as compulsive gambling." Her centre is one of many that are now found in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and China.
These clinics treat those with gaming problems using an addiction model. They use detox, 12-step programs, abstinence training, and other methods common to addiction centres.
Notably, many people play well within healthy limits, and engage in the activity for diverse reasons. Stress relief, a way to spend time online with friends, or the enjoyment of an interactive storyline are all common reasons for playing. Whatever the reason for starting, when you can't stop you have a problem.
We are often critical of labels in mental health, for good reason; they can be misused. On the other hand, a label can sometimes be helpful. If we call it an addiction, then we recognize it as a problem worth solving.

New EEG Technology Makes for Better Brain Reading
September 18, 201460Cognition, Featured news, Intelligence, Mental Health, Mind Reading, Neuroscience, Optimism, Personality, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Sleep, Sport and Competition, Trauma, Trauma Psychotherapy September, 14
Clinical psychologists have a long tradition of attempting to understand what is "on the mind" of their clients by use of psychological tests. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales, for example, have been used for decades to assess intelligence levels. And other empirically valid psychometric measures are commonly used to understand patient mood or personality functioning.
To this point, direct examination of brain activity as a window into the client's mind has remained elusive. But advances in the field of brain examination using electroencephalographs (EEGs) may be changing all that.
The first EEG was developed in the 1920's by the German psychiatrist Hans Berger. He developed it to test the biological electricity produced in the brain, and first used it during brain surgery performed in 1924 on a 17-year-old boy.
If the EEG has been around for almost a century, why is it so important now? Recent technological advancements may soon have a profound impact on how mental health practitioners diagnose mental illness.
Currently, we know that the EEG records activity in the brain through electrodes attached to the scalp. When neurons (electrical pulses the brain uses to send messages) fire, they produce a small current. The EEG reads and records this current between 250 and 2000 times a second. The graphs it makes of these readings are what we know as 'brain waves.'
The EEG is primarily used to diagnose epilepsy. As of 2005, 70% of EEG referrals were for epilepsy. During an epileptic seizure there is a large spike in brain activity that the EEG has little difficulty detecting. Even then, it is used in conjunction with a clinical examination by a physician, not as the sole means of diagnosis.
The second most common use is to diagnose sleep disorders such as narcolepsy and sleep apnea. The EEG is effective at reading the brain waves produced during sleep, which show special patterns in those with sleep disorders.
Biomedical engineering professor Hans Hallez of Flanders' University writes, "during the last two decades, increasing computational power has given researchers the tools to go a step further and try to find the underlying sources which generate [brain waves]. This activity is called EEG source localization."
Source localization is the technique that tells us which part of the brain is communicating. With advances in neuroscience and imaging techniques, we know what activities are represented by different parts of the brain. For example, activity in the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe is related to vision and activity in special areas of the temporal lobe is associated with speech.
If you know what part of the brain is communicating and what it is responsible for, then you can start to build a picture of what brain waves from different parts of the brain mean. In theory, this is what some experts consider akin to mindreading.
But the game-changer is this: recent developments in the field have led to a portable EEG that is relatively cheap, effective, and requires no human scoring.
Philip Low, who is the founder, CEO, and chief scientific officer of NeuroVigil Inc., developed a complex algorithm in 2007 that allows one electrode to do the work of many. His company has developed what they have named the iBrain. It uses one wireless electrode sensor the size of a quarter to record brain activity with an app that works on a smartphone.
Low says, "our vision is that one day people will have access to their brain as routinely and as easily as they currently have to their blood pressure." He hopes to code brain wave profiles of those suffering from mental illnesses into a database at NeuroVigil that receives information from iBrain users' cell phones. The iBrain 3 is expected to cost around $100 and be available to the public in the next few years.
Low isn't the only one pushing the boundaries of EEG technology using single electrode devices. Hashem Ashrafiuon, a mechanical engineering professor at Villanova University's College of Engineering has developed similar technology. His work is being used in sports helmets that can instantly diagnose concussions by detecting large changes in brain waves that occur immediately after impact.
Ashrafiuon sees many applications for his work. "It can basically be used to diagnose any health problem that affects brain activity. We hope to monitor brain health in patients with mild traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and sleep and circadian disorders."
It is the belief of technology developers Low and Ashrafiuon that we will one day have brainwave profiles of all mental illnesses stored. Diagnosing a mental illness would be assisted by comparing brain wave profiles of a patient to a database of stored sample profiles, allowing for rapid diagnosis.
Does it sound too simple? Perhaps. Diagnosis of mental illness involves a substantial behavioral component. What the brain looks like may be a far cry from the choices a given individual makes, and how those choices affect later functioning.
Still, there is reason for guarded optimism about the developments in EEG technology. The portability and improved accuracy will help with the diagnosis of epilepsy and sleep disorders, allowing patients to be comfortable at home and still be monitored. The more physically and economically accessible it is the better.
In a few years you may be the proud owner of Low's iBrain 3. But in all likelihood, it won't replace mental health practitioners any more than a good toothbrush replaces a dentist.

Sadly, (as cliché as it may sound) there is no typical day here. My schedule seems to fluctuate from hour to hour, each one jammed packed with academics, recruiting, interning, club events, social life and of course sleep. Therefore, in an attempt to give a more holistic view of what it's actually like to be a full-time MBA student at Stern, we'll go over what a "typical" week looks like.
My week starts off typically with lots of groaning, a full breakfast, and coffee. Then at 10:30am, I make it to my first class, Corporate Finance, taught by one of Stern's best, Professor Damodaran (PS. A few of is lectures are recorded and online for free, so you should all check him out). Afterwards, I typically catch up with friends over lunch regarding the weekend before heading to my next class, which is taught by another superb professor, Dolly Chugh: Leadership In Organizations.
I have a short break from 4:30-6pm, where you can find me either at a group meeting or catching up on emails while eating dinner. From 6 to 9pm, I have my last class of the day, Entertainment Media Industries, which also happens to be the core requirement class for the EMT specialization here at Stern. Mondays are my busiest days, so I'm always happy to be back home and in my bed at the end of it.
I don't actually have class until 1:30pm on Tuesdays (Foundations of Finance with the amazing Professor Silber), but one of the great perks of Stern is its location and the endless opportunities that NYC brings. I'm interning this semester at an indie film distribution company, so I actually head to work first thing in the morning, then straight to class.
Before my 6-9pm night class, I have a good 3 hour break where I can attend club events (which are often training or info sessions), go on coffee chats, go to the gym, and even cram homework.
I'm back in Corporate Finance at 10:30am on Wednesdays, and then straight to work after class, where I'll be for the rest of the day.
I love Thursdays because I have nothing scheduled until class at 1:30pm! You'll still typically find me on campus around 10am latest though, where I'll be attending various group meetings, club and recruiting events.
Thursdays are also amazing because they are Beer Blast days. Beer Blast, for those unfamiliar, is a four hour open bar (beer and wine only) hosted a different club every week from 6-10pm in Stern, and is open to all full and part time MBA students. After class gets out for me at 6pm, that's where we usually end up. After the week of classes, recruiting, and meetings, beer blast is the best way to unwind, catch-up and get to know your classmates better over some food and drinks.
Stern doesn't have any classes on Fridays in order to accommodate all the other activities that we have going on. If there isn't a student club hosting a conference that week, then there will be some sort of trek, company visit, symposium, and/or coffee chat set up. It's also a great time to catch up on work, school and sleep. Personally, if I'm not at some sort of student club event or a trek, then I'd be at work Fridays.

Hopefully some of my ramblings will be entertaining and a little helpful. When it came time to record my House Concert, I still hadn't gotten over my bronchitis, so no singing this time. The other thing that has started this week is...... I'm in labour! Songwriting labour, that is... new songs are eager to come on through and I'm LOVING it!!! If you've never tired to write songs on the harp, I urge you to give it a go. The harp is a wonderful accompanying instrument, in almost any genre, limited in scope, only by your imagination.

Munster Rugby Head Coach Rob Penney. munsterrugby.ie
Munster moved two points clear of Gloucester at the top of their Heineken Cup pool thanks to a 36-8 win over Perpignan at Thomond Park on Sunday.
The Reds outscored Perpignan by five tries to one, but coach Rob Penney expects a tough return leg in France this weekend.
Penney said, "It is a massive challenge going to Perpignan with the passion and fervor they have for the game down there. It is something we are used to here, but rather than be at our backs, it will be in our faces this time round."
Scrum-half Conor Murray faces a fitness test on an injured knee ahead of that game but will travel with the comfort of a new contact with the province.
The 24-year-old has agreed a two year extension that ties him to Munster until 2016.
Penney has also confirmed the signing of forward Robin Copeland from Cardiff Blues on a two-year deal to begin to begin this summer.
Munster and Ireland hooker Mike Sherry won't play again this season after surgery to repair a ruptured cruciate ligament.

Review of Golden Boy
Bartlett Sher directs a revival of Clifford Odets's Golden Boy at the Belasco Theatre in New York, New York. Seth Numrich plays the conflicted Joe Bonaparte, a young man torn between pursuing a career as a musician or one as a boxer. The advisers in his life each have plans for the young man, who is tortured by a fleeting love affair.
With few exceptions, the cast is strong. Numrich encapsulates the intelligent Italian-American lead. But, of course, this is a boxing blog, not a theater review site. As a boxer, Numrick is an excellent actor and should keep his day job. His hand speed makes George Foreman look like Manny Pacquiao. But he looks the part of boxer and offers a poignant sensitivity to the travails of a man in the trade. One miss takes place after Bonaparte's second fight with the Baltimore Chocolate Drop. Numrick's back is heavily covered in splotches of blood, a rare occurrence in real pugilism.
Tony Shalhoub is wonderful as Bonaparte's father, affecting a convincing Italian accent and the concerned disposition of a fighter's parent. Yvonne Strahovski plays Lorna Moon, the love interest, and is equally persuasive in the role. Anthony Crivello is menacing as the gangster Eddie Fuseli. Danny Burstein treats the role of Bonaparte's trainer, Tokio, with a realistic fatherly disconnect that many trainers display towards their charges. Danny Mastrogiorgio (Tom Moody) looks and sounds like a boxing manager, but his cadence and elocution was out of step with the rest of the cast.
Jews are sprinkled into the play. Bonaparte gets his first chance to fight when a boxer named Kaplan injures his hand. Ned Eisenberg plays Bonaparte's promoter, Roxy Gottlieb, who is Bob Arum meets a Don Knotts character. Michael Aronov is an over-the-top whiny Siggy, Bonaparte's Jewish brother-in-law. Jonathan Hadary is the Bonapartes' neighbor, Mr. Carp, and conveys a man with a dry ironic wit.
The set design is expertly done. It takes one back to the dim, hard life of the first part of the twentieth century in New York. During the foggy street scenes, the traffic lights don't change, which would drive a motorist insane. But beyond nitpicking, the design adds to the sense of doom that plagues Joe Bonaparte's struggle to understand himself.
The play is in previews and will open on December 6. For more information, click here.

Служба государственной безопасности Грузии (ранее — Министерство государственной безопасности) — спецслужба Грузии, занимающаяся обеспечением национальной безопасности, контрразведкой, антикоррупционной и антитеррористической деятельностью.

Служба государственной безопасности (СГБ) контролируется парламентом и правительством. Основные функции СГБ — выявление, пресечение и расследование относящихся к её компетенции преступлений, а также анализ ожидаемых угроз, рисков и вызовов, защита конституционного строя, суверенитета, территориальной целостности, научно-экономического и военного потенциала Грузии от противоправных действий спецслужб иностранных государств и отдельных лиц. В функции спецслужбы входят обеспечение экономической безопасности страны и борьба с терроризмом.

Глава Службы госбезопасности по представлению правительства избирается парламентом сроком на шесть лет не более чем на два срока. С 1 августа 2015 года главой СГБ является Вахтанг Гомелаури.

История
МГБ Грузии — преемник КГБ ГССР, структурного подразделения КГБ СССР.

Указом Президента Республики Грузия от 16 ноября 1991 г. и Постановлением Верховного Совета Республики Грузия от 25 ноября 1991 г. КГБ Грузинской ССР был преобразован в Государственный департамент национальной безопасности (с 29 ноября 1991 г. – Министерство безопасности).

В 2004 году президент Михаил Саакашвили упразднил Министерство госбезопасности и на его основе создал Департамент по конституционной безопасности (ДКБ) и Специальный оперативный департамент (СОД), включив их в систему МВД.

В 2012 году в ходе реформы МВД ДКБ и СОД были упразднены. На базе ДКБ были созданы агентство безопасности и антикоррупционное агентство.

В 2015 году президент Георгий Маргвелашвили подписал закон о выделении из состава МВД Службы государственной безопасности, таким образом вновь создав независимую структуру, занимающуюся вопросами национальной безопасности.

Руководители

The 1934 Avions Voisin Type C27 Aérosport
By Will Wynn on 15 September 2021
The Concours of Elegance always has a vast array of beautiful, jaw dropping, rare, unusual, historic, and significant cars on display. Here is some information on the winner of Best in Show at the 2021 Concours of Elegance, the 1934 Avions Voisin Type C27 Aérosport.
The origins of the C27 Aérosport lie in the Aerodyne-a provocative car crated for the 1934 Paris Motor Show that didn't quite hit the mark in terms of sales. After the expo, two roadsters were built on shortened Aérodyne chassis – which became known as the C27. Powered by a 3.0-litre straight-six engine, it was good for 105bhp. However, it is the glorious Art Deco styling that captivates the heart. Its distinctive look was a collaboration between Gabriel Voisin and André Noël-Noël Telmont, an architect who had met Voisin during their education. Using the basic outline of the Aérodyne as a start, the pair lowered it and added more luggage space, pentagon side windows, piano-hinged doors and aluminium accents. It also features a sliding roof powered by its own motor that works off the main engine's vacuum.
After displaying the car at the Geneva and Madrid Motor Shows in 1935, Telmont kept hold of the Aérosport for ten years. In the immediate aftermath of World War Two, he sold the C27 to Jean, the son of painter Moïse Kisling, who had piloted a P47 Thunderbolt during the conflict. Jacques Terramorsi, a rally driver and the founder of Renault Sport, subsequently acquired the car. In the mid-1950s, it was offered for sale in France by marque expert Robert Saliot and the Saliot Garage. The garage owned all of Voisin's spare parts, and Robert's student son used the C27 for day-to-day transport. At this stage, the coachwork was modified, with poor metal-sheet patch repairs to the roof. Stewardship was then passed to a scrap dealer, and the Aérosport disappeared for some time. One day, Phillip Moch, a Voisin expert and hoarder of marque parts, acquired an ailing Voisin that had a second body. Removing this outer layer, he found the distinctive underslung chassis and the remnants of the C27 Aérosport. In 2004, Moch charged Dominique Tessier with the task of rebuilding the car-an arduous process that took three years using only three period photographs as reference material. In 2010, Peter Mullin purchased the car from Moch.

An S&P 500 corporation wanted to know how to increase the efficiency of their technical support calls. J.Lodge analyzed thousands of phone calls, software databases, instant messenger conversations, and manager accounts to decrease the average handle time.
Calls that included unnecessary steps increased average handle time. These steps occurred in 50% of calls.
Long gaps of dead air and placing customers on hold prior to transferring them to the next department added 4 minutes to the call on average.
Assisting customers with the installation of third-party software (internet browser, Windows Live Mail) added 10 minutes to the call.
43 seconds = $567,000 in savings.
With changes to usage of software tools and process training, J.Lodge was able to help the S&P 500 corporation drastically reduce the average wait time, improve customer satisfaction, and save the company over half a million dollars.
Talk with our experienced and trained analysts to see how we can increase your productivity, profitability, and customer satisfaction.

Paracetamol to induce ductus arteriosus closure: is it valid?
Archives of disease in childhood (2013-04-23)
Karel Allegaert, Brian Anderson, Sinno Simons, Bart van Overmeire
There remains a need for alternative medical treatments for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure in extreme preterm neonates because of therapeutic failure and adverse effects associated with non-selective cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors. Reports of an association between paracetamol exposure and PDA closure in a limited number of extreme preterm neonates have been published. However, causality cannot be taken for granted because a link between the current knowledge of the clinical pharmacology of paracetamol and (patho)physiology of ductal closure is not known. In contrast to non-selective cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors, paracetamol has limited effects at peripheral sites, is a poor antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory drug and exerts its effects primarily within the central nervous system. Although paracetamol appears an effective and safe analgesic in term and near term neonates, its effectiveness and safety for PDA closure are uncertain because the drug is administered in high doses and there remain a limited number of observations in this specific subpopulation so far. Prospective comparative trials are reasonable and are urgently needed to establish both the effectiveness and safety data of paracetamol when used for this indication.

Arcana, an exciting new card game set in the mythical city of Cadwallon, pits you against up to three opponents as you vie for the most power for your Guild.
Will the Guild of Blades control the city? The Guild of Thieves? Its up to you as you fight for the best agents to exert your influence.
As the game is played, various stacks of "Stake" cards are revealed. Using the cards in your hand from your Main Deck, you will play agents to the various Stake cards, and you will use other cards to augment your agents. The player whose agent wins the Stake will claim it, placing it in his Resource Deck. Any card from your main deck that has been played also goes to the resource deck. When the main deck runs out, you reshuffle your resource deck into a new main deck. The more powerful the Stake card you win, the better it will make your deck as the game progresses. However, should you win a stake for a card that does not directly help your strategies, you can put the card under your Guild card, and still score at the end though not have to reshuffle that card into your deck, maintaining focus. Every card has a point value and at the end of the game the total point value of all the cards in your possession determines the winner.
Each Stake is determined by various factors, such as military power, political power, money, etc. Each Guild has different abilities, such as the Guild of Blades always winning ties on Stakes determined by military power.
Along with the Stakes, each player is given a number of Objective cards at the beginning of the game. Completing these objectives, such as "Control three Automaton Stakes" will earn the player additional points.
By customizing your deck as you play and with four different Guilds to choose from, the replay value of Arcana is nearly limitless.
Arcana is brilliantly illustrated and is a fast fun way to get both your card game and fantasy fix. Produced under license of Rackham. For two to four players.


Don't just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced life means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.
"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?
It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices."
"Don't be serious, just try to be sincere. Attend ADB!"


This January 2016, KentuckyOne Health asked employees to devote the month to service in honor of the Rev.

Thank you for working together to make a positive impact in our communities.


Jess Parrish Medical Foundation recently held a recognition ceremony to thank Zumpano Patricios & Winker P.A. (ZP&W) for their signature gift of more than $100,000 toward various healing projects focused on future generations.
Over six years ago, ZP&W made their first donation to The Children's Center and have continued supporting this program and many others to provide brighter futures for the next generation. Because of their gifts, children with and without special needs are receiving services so they can be more successful in school.
ZP&W was a major contributor to the Boy Scout Community House renovations in Mims, FL. Thanks to them, the Scouts now have a safe, healing environment to learn and grow through a program that builds character, trains Scouts in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
Not only has ZP&W supported our children and Boy Scouts, but they have also supported our young teens through a program called Sources of Strength, which teaches teens to identify strengths in their lives and how they can use those in times of need.
Through a combination of passion and compassion, ZP&W is making the lives of children and families in our community better, stronger and healthier. Their hearts led them to reach out to help others and it's truly an inspiration to all. During the ceremony, they were recognized with a signature glass tile on the Pillar of Honor at Parrish Medical Center which honors them for their generosity and commitment to providing healing experiences and inspiring each of us to make our world a better place.
If you would like to learn more about how you can make a difference, please call Jess Parrish Medical Foundation at 321-269-4066 or visit parrishmedfoundation.com for more information.

Does anyone know of any options for shuttle or other service for doing a one-way trip of the Alps to Ocean route?
I think there was an operation based in Twizel.
Id suggest parking in Oamaru and getting a shuttle up to the top of the ride. I have friends in the area so we got dropped near Braemar station for the start. Our ride then went fishing for the day before heading back to Oamaru.
Understand that starting at Mt Cook requires a helicopter ride over the Tasman River (and therefore more $).

Yeah, this is what I'm interested in. Not interested in doing the (Expensive) Mt. Cook bit, just need some way of getting bikes and bodies from the car parked in Oamaru to as far up the Eastern side of the lake as poss.
Yah, well, as you drive up the eastern side of the lake you realise you're just going to be riding the same road in reverse shortly you tend to lose your enthusiasm for going all the way to the Jollie carpark.
