The Jungle Book meets Not Wanted On the Voyage in a triumph of storytelling and originality: a novel, as one character puts it, to make you believe in God.
Piscine Molitor Patel, nicknamed Pi, lives in Pondicherry, India, where his family runs a zoo. Little Pi is a great reader. He devours books on Hinduism, Christianity and Islam, and to the surprise of his secular parents, becomes devoted to all three religions. When the parents decide to emigrate to Canada, the family boards a cargo ship with many of the animals that are going to new zoological homes in North America, and bravely sets sail for the New World.
Alas, the ship sinks. A solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the surface of the wild blue Pacific. In it are five survivors: Pi, a hyena, a zebra, an orang-utan and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger.
With intelligence, daring and inexpressible fear, Pi manages to keep his wits about him as the animals begin to assert their places in the foodchain; it is the tiger, Richard Parker, with whom he must develop an inviolable understanding.
Yann Martel's Life of Pi is a transformative novel: a book to delight in, to talk about and treasure. It will convince the most jaded among us – and remind the rest – that something grander is afoot in our lives than we may have realized.
From the Hardcover edition.
Pi, the precocious animal-loving son of an Indian zookeeper, loses his family in a shipwreck en route to North America--and is left alone in a lifeboat with a man-eating Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, with whom he manages (thanks to his zoo background) to strike up an ingenious truce. When they finally reach land and the tiger disappears, Pi finds that no one will believe his story--and so he creates an alternative tale, one that is false but sounds true. This whimsical fantasy was short-listed for Canada's Governor General's Literary Award and won the Booker Prize in 2002. Also a New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

When John Morris saw a burglar climb out of his neighbour's
home and run off down the street, he didn't think twice.
He took off after him, tackled the man and sat on him until
police arrived.
The Bay of Plenty Regional Council senior pollution
prevention officer had gone to his Riverton Rd home for lunch
yesterday, when he learned there was a would-be burglar
inside his neighbour's house.
While talking with his neighbour outside, another neighbour
showed up. Together, four men went to catch the offender in
Mr Morris headed to the rear of the property while the others
went to the front.
"Then the guy out the front said 'he's coming out the
window'. I didn't know which one, but I saw him jump out the
window and run off to the corner of Tay St and Riverton."
The man headed toward a woman walking her dog, who threatened
to let the animal loose if he did not stop.
"And he hesitated," Mr Morris said.
"That hesitation was just enough for me to catch up with him
and tackle him to the ground. There was nothing else to do."
Mr Morris then sat on the man, who was wearing socks on his
"I told him to stay on the ground and all he said was 'That
was a good tackle, bro'."
The other neighbours and the woman joined Mr Morris and
waited until police arrived.
He said the scenario was very much a "team effort".
Tauranga Senior Sergeant Cam Anderson said the four people
involved in the citizens' arrest were an ex-police officer,
an off-duty police officer and two neighbours.
"The obvious problem with these situations is the potential
dangers they could have faced. You never know what is going
to happen.
"In this case they have done the right thing by calling us
and then, when the person tried to escape before police
arrived, there was sufficient people there to deal with the
The man was arrested at the scene, charged with burglary and
taken to Tauranga police station.
Mr Anderson said police inquiries were continuing.
"It's an ongoing inquiry. It appears there may have been more
than one house involved."
Mr Anderson said burglaries happened all year round
throughout the Western Bay and he advised people not to make
it easy for people to steal from them by leaving valuables
"There are specific areas where there are problems but I
don't want to divulge what we're doing or where it is. We've
got cars patrolling in these areas and tasks staff have to do
and, although we're trying to prevent crime, we're also
trying to catch them in the act."

Does anyone have any of the research on soy and estrogen? Any moms talk to their peds about this?
Soy formula and estrogen??
Comments (4)
I looked at it a bit (very very little...basically, in passing as researching other things since we were able to breastfeed.) But, his ped does not recommend soy, unless there is no alternative. As she says, there are issues with soy, just like there are issues with cow's milk based formulas... no formula is perfect, so you just do what you can.
Here is an article from the homeopath/naturopath that DS and I have gone to http://www.cure-guide.com/Child_Health_Guide/Soy_Unsafe/soy_unsafe.html
He is clearly anti-soy, but he usually has references to studies cited that you could go read.
Thanks for the article. He had trouble with breastmilk ...that's how we ended up with formula. I still pump/feed his twin breastmilk.
Is he having problems with the cow based formula? I assume that is why you are asking about soy?
Personally, if there is no issue with cow based formula, I would try that first. If there is an issue with the cow based formula (that sounds odd...but you know what I mean), then I am not sure what other options there are other than soy... so, I am sure I would try soy, and if it were me, I would just make sure to limit other sources of soy as much as possible.
This is a scary thought especially since my son has a condition called galactosemia and can't have any dairy so has to be on soy formula.

Cohen Makes a Pitch for Mets
Billionaire Hedge-Fund Manager Joins Bidding for a Stake in Baseball Team
Billionaire hedge-fund manager Steve Cohen has joined the bidding for a minority stake in the New York Mets, as the baseball team attempts to raise about $200 million to cover losses and pay down debt, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Cohen, the founder of SAC Capital Advisors LLC whose net worth is estimated by Forbes magazine at $7.3 billion, is a longtime Mets fan who knows its controlling Wilpon family socially. He manages about $12 billion in assets.
A spokesman for the Mets declined to comment. Jonathan Gasthalter, a spokesman for Mr. Cohen's SAC, declined to discuss any bid.
Several other Wall Street financiers also are vying to gain a minority stake in a team with heavy debt, declining attendance, and the cloud of $1 billion in claims against the Wilpons by the trustee for victims of the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme.
The Mets recently requested that potential investors submit nonbinding letters confirming their interest in the team, including their bid price and size of the stake, which could range from 25% to 49%.
Among other bidders is a team led by Steve Starker, the co-founder of Wall Street trading firm BTIG LLC. His group includes Kenny Dichter, a co-founder of Marquis Jets, and Douglas Ellin, creator of the HBO show "Entourage."
Another group with Wall Street credentials is the team of David Heller, an executive of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., GS 0.22 % and Marc Spilker, the president of Apollo Global Management LLC, the private-equity fund.
The sale is taking place against the backdrop of the $1 billion lawsuit filed against team owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz and their associates by Irving Picard, the trustee in the Madoff bankruptcy case.
Mr. Picard has claimed the Mets owners either knew or should have known Mr. Madoff was running a Ponzi scheme. Messrs. Wilpon and Katz have denied any wrongdoing.
The Mets played their home opener Friday in front of a near-sellout crowd of 41,075 at Citifield. Since then, the team has averaged 30,600 fans, below last year's average of 31,600 when the Mets led Major League Baseball in attendance declines. That makes it tougher for the team to regain profitability and command an attractive price for the minority stake.

The price for this soap may seem low because the company offers six bars, but they are very thin—each bar is only 1.25 ounces, whereas a standard bar of soap is between 4 and 6 ounces. Regardless of the size issue, Moisture Infusion Facial Bar is standard soap, and that means it is too drying and irritating for all skin types. Peter Thomas Roth offers plenty of good water-soluble cleansers, all of which are expensive, but they are preferred to this facial bar.
In addition to the drying effects of soap, and the residue it leaves behind (which keeps the products applied afterward from working as well as they could), this product contains a high amount of fragrance and fragrance ingredients that will cause further irritation. Moisture Infusion Facial Bar is not recommended.
More Info:
Irritation, whether from soap or other products and whether you see it on the surface of your skin or not, causes inflammation that impairs healing, damages collagen, and depletes the vital substances your skin needs to stay young. For these reasons, it is best to eliminate, or minimize as much as possible, your exposure to known skin irritants, especially when there are brilliant formulas available that do not include these types of problematic ingredients (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22.)
Gently cleanses the skin while delivering essential moisture. Skin feels clean, fresh and soft.

Peter Thomas Roth At-A-Glance
Strengths: Provides complete ingredient lists on Web site; most products are fragrance-free; very good AHA products; wide selection of water-soluble cleansers and scrubs; some excellent sunscreens, benzoyl peroxide products, and many antioxidant-rich formulas.
Weaknesses: Can be pricey; some products contain irritants; jar packaging for several products that contain air and light sensitive ingredients.
Unique in the world of spa and salon specialty lines, Peter Thomas Roth is a large but straightforward line with mostly uncomplicated formulations that, for the most part, are quite good and state-of-the-art. Unlike many product lines, most of the acne, AHA, BHA, sunscreen, and moisturizing products contain what they should to be effective and helpful for skin.
A novel aspect of this line is that there are few (if any) nonsense ingredients. Roth products conspicuously lack the exotic, potentially irritating, sensitizing, and often unnecessary plant extracts and the irritating, fragrant plant oils that show up in most pricey skin-care lines, especially spa lines. Many of these are fragrance free, and lack the long lists of complicated ingredients—all great qualities for any skincare brand.
Even more impressive are the well-formulated cleansers, sunscreens, AHA products, and skin lighteners. The moisturizers have improved somewhat, and most are now packaged so that the light- and air-sensitive ingredients remain stable. In fact, Roth's packaging deserves special mention because it is exceptionally utilitarian and gender-friendly.
No pretty pink bottles, sexy curved jars, or bejeweled caps— which reinforces the clinical nature of Peter Thomas Roth. Overall, this line should be admired for its simplicity and, for the most part, for its well-thought-out formulations.
After all that glowing praise, what you should be aware of are the instances of products containing potential irritants (noted in their respective reviews) as well as the products in jar packaging that contain ingredients which are sensitive to air and light.

User Administration
All of the Linux distributions come with facilities for automating the process of adding, modifying and removing users. All include shell scripts or programs such as adduser, useradd, usermod and userdel. Some distributions, notably Caldera and Red Hat, come with additional programs to do the job. Caldera uses its LISA program to handle adding and deleting users. Red Hat's usercfg, for use in a graphical (X11) environment, not only handles user additions and deletions, but also helps manage groups.
All accomplish certain basic chores beyond just adding a line to the /etc/passwd file and appropriate entries to the /etc/group file. Given the sensitivity of the /etc/passwd file and the consequences of corrupting this file, that alone would warrant its use. A system no one (not even root) can log into isn't much use. In fact, if you do edit /etc/passwd with an editor, you shouldn't keep it open long. This file is accessed by numerous programs for login and authentication purposes, and holding this file open (especially if another user decides to change his password) could cause system instability.
All these scripts and programs prompt you through the information needed to create the new account. If you need to add or delete group accounts, the groupadd and groupdel (delgroup, addgroup, groupmod, etc.) programs can be found on most systems to accomplish this task.
The use of Network Information Services (NIS), formerly known as the Yellow Pages (a trademark of British Telecom) and still carrying the "yp" prefix on the programs, will necessarily change some of the procedures I've discussed, but the basics remain the same. NIS is used at larger sites to ease the administrative burden of pushing changes to each machine. But accounts still need to be set up. NIS just centralizes and distributes files from the master server instead of changing files on each machine individually. If you do work at a large site that uses NIS, you'll still have some normal accounts set up on each machine for those times when maintenance requirements dictate bringing the machine up in single user or non-networked modes.
Since I've been mentioning security from the beginning of this article, I thought I would mention a few programs to help you maintain security on your system.
The first program, npasswd (no relation to the file created by reversing the shadow password conversion), does some sanity checking when users change their password. This program is used in place of the regular passwd program by renaming the passwd binary (/usr/bin/passwd not /etc/passwd) to something like passwd.orig and creating a link to npasswd from passwd.
Another program you may be interested in is pwgen. This program generates random passwords containing mixed upper and lower case characters, numbers and legal (for a password) punctuation. Personally, I find these passwords too difficult to remember, and since writing them down is a security no-no, I devise my own (hopefully) secure passwords.
I mention the pwdutils package only for those using NIS. This package contains NIS compatible programs. Those contemplating using NIS or shadow files need to ensure that the programs they use for system administration (particularly user administration) work with NIS or the shadow suite. Above all, before you begin installing either NIS or the shadow suite, RTFM—read the fine manual (and keep an emergency boot disk handy).
Among the myriad things you can do that will make your life easier as a systems administrator is to maintain certain files and subdirectories. One such subdirectory that is often overlooked is /etc/skel. This subdirectory is the skeleton used by all (that I'm aware of) scripts and programs to create the new user's $HOME directory. You've seen how administration programs add users to /etc/passwd. You've noticed that at the same time a /home/$USER subdirectory is created with proper permissions and a few common files, such as .bashrc, .cshrc, etc. All this is done by copying /etc/skel with all its files and subdirectories to the user's new home directory and changing the ownership (chown) to the new user. Use the /etc/skel directory to keep all the files you wish new users to have—maybe a default .fvwmrc for their X sessions or some changes to their .bashrc files. Then the new user will be ready to start working as soon as you've run the adduser program.
If you view some of the programs I've discussed, you'll note some are binaries and some are scripts. I prefer to use a modified adduser script in which I have included a couple of lines for something I occasionally forget. My Caldera boxes run a modified fvwm (from LST) that writes to the file /var/run/xlaunch/$USER/background-:0.0. While not a fatal error if the directory doesn't exist, I don't like to see error messages scrolling through my console box. So, my modified script includes two lines to create this subdirectory and then touch the file name. You can modify your scripts in a similar manner.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

EFFECT OF AROUSAL AND ANXIETY ON PERFORMANCEAnxiety: a negative emotional state with feelings of worry, nervousness, and apprehension associated with activation or arousal of the body - emotional label for a negatively interpreted arousal
Arousal: a blend of psychological and psychological activation, varying in intensity along a continuum - general physiological and psychological activation (from deep sleep to intense excitement)
Stress: the demands it makes on an organism and efforts the organism makes to adapt, cop, or adjust to those demands.
- The interaction between the stressors and our physiological and psychological responses to them
- That it is perceived by someone (cognitive factors)
- Some stress is healthy and necessary, some is detrimental/all may play a part in sports performance arousal
- Lazarus & Folkman (1984): "a pattern of negative and physiological states and psychological responses occurring in situations where people perceive threats to their well-being which they may be unable to meet"
Three types of anxieties related to sport performance:
- Cognitive anxiety – worries and negative appraisal of oneself and future
- Somatic anxiety – shortness of breath, increased heartbeat, (biological level of analysis)
- State anxiety – tension, restlessness
Describe the stress process/anxiety as it pertains to the competitive situation/performance (optimal arousal theory):
- Stress and anxiety increase as the pressure of the situation increases. According to the Inverted-U theory of arousal, stress and anxiety increase over time, following a'U' curve, peaking at an optimum point where anxiety and stress are at a healthy level so as not to take over the athlete, but to give the athlete motivation, and at a specific time.
- In competitive situations, stress increases immensely, as not only is the person physically 'pumped' to play, but the person has to play well in accordance with the competitive nature of the situation. The stress levels of a professional soccer player, such as David Beckham, would be much higher in a soccer game than the stress levels of a person simply playing a fun game with a group of friends. When your performance decides others' opinion of you, as David Beckham's performance in a world cup game would, the stress comes from the social expectations along with the ordinary stress of the game. Athletes are socially expected to perform well, and generally have numerous things riding on their performance, such as a paycheck. If an athlete does not perform well, then their value as a marketable athlete decreases, thus meaning that their lives as a whole are affected. The stress is thus piled on in competitive situations.
A Level Psychology Through Diagrams
Grahame Hill
Oxford University Press (2001)
Page 256
Describe the five factors that lead to an increase in anxiety or anticipation of an achievement situation:
- Nature of the situation: Does the athlete enjoy participating in the situation? If the sport is his/her favourite sport, then the anxiety levels will be lower. However, if the sport is not preferred by the athlete, then the anxiety will be higher as they are not as comfortable playing the sport.
- Athlete's perspective of the situation: Is the achievement worth the effort? If so, anxiety levels will be higher because the pressure is now on. If not, anxiety will be lower, because there is no motivation to do well.
- Individual or Group situation? Athletes who participate in individual sports are more likely to have higher levels of anxiety, because if they should fail they cannot shift the blame onto someone else.
- Intensity of the Sport/effort to be made: The more intense the sport, the more anxious the athlete. Athletes often psych themselves up before games, in order to prepare themselves for the intense nature of the sport. However, there is a point of limit, and once crossed, the athlete's anxiety levels are not healthy.
- Competition: When the competition for an achievement is high, the athlete's anxiety levels will be high as well due to the increased intensity of the sport.
List the major divisions of the nervous system
The nerves of the body are organized into two major systems:
Central nervous system (CNS), consisting of of the brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system (PNS), network of spinal nerves linking the body to the brain and spinal cord. The PNS is subdivided into:
- Autonomic Nervous System (involuntary control of internal organs, blood vessels, smooth and cardiac muscles), consisting of the sympathetic NS and parasympathetic NS
- Somatic Nervous System (voluntary control of skin, bones, joints, and skeletal muscle) http://webschoolsolutions.com/patts/systems/nervous.htm
Describe central nervous system structures that control arousal
Research on patient's brains scanned by PET indicate that the type of thoughts we have influence the balance of brain chemicals, so by learning to think more positively and realistically we can influence brain chemistry in a positive way, but other factors like an unloved, unsupported childhood can influence brain chemistry and physiology in such a way that it makes us less able to cope with stress in adulthood. If we think mainly negatively our brains secrete chemicals that can undermine our psychological and physiological health, whereas if we think more positively we can cause chemicals to be secreted that boost our psychological and physical health.
We also need to be aware that we are not exact carbon copies of each other, we have subtle biochemical and physiological differences that partially influence how we react to stress. For example each person's nervous system can react quite differently to any given stimuli or situation. Some people's nervous systems are more sensitive than others, more easily triggered by stress, and may also take longer to switch on the relaxation mode, once the stress response has done its job . There can also be differences in the amount of stress hormones we secrete in response to a stressor. People who have more of a tendency to being what is known as Type A personality are more reactive to stress and can produce up to forty times more cortisol (a stress hormone), they can produce four times as much adrenalin (another stress hromone),and also pump three times more blood to their muscles than the more laid back Type B personality.
This does not mean however that there is nothing that the more biologically reactive Type A's can do to reduce their stress. Research on Type A personalities who had suffered a heart attack showed that if they were taught stress management techniques then they could dramatically reduce their risk of a second heart attack when compared to Type A personalities who had not been taught stress management techniques.
Our genes can also influence our brain biochemistry as can caffeine, alcohol, diet, exercise and stress. These factors can all have an impact in a positive or negative way on our brain chemistry and make us more vulnerable to developing stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc. http://stresshelp.tripod.com/id15.html
Describe the function of the autonomic nervous system and the subdivision
ANS = part of the peripheral nervous system that functions to regulate the basic visceral (organ) processes needed for the maintenance of normal bodily functions; operates independently of voluntary control, although certain events, such as emotional stress, fear, sexual excitement, and alterations in the sleep-wakefulness cycle, change the level of autonomic activity. Functions: to run all the automatic functions of the body like breathing, heart rate, digestion, endocrine (hormonal) system, etc.
ANS = two major divisions: SYMPATHETIC nervous system (initiates the stress response) and the PARASYMPATHETIC nervous system (induces the relaxation response); often function in opposite ways. Both systems have associated sensory fibres that send feedback information into the central nervous system regarding the functional condition of target tissues. http://www.becomehealthynow.com/article/bodynervousadvanced/822
The body's organs and systems are supplied by nerves from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems which can slow them down or speed them up via hormones and electrical impulses depending on the situation. Normally there is a balance kept between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, but in long-term chronic stress this balance can be disturbed and either one of the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous systems can predominate over the other leading to stress related health problems. http://stresshelp.tripod.com/id15.html
Describe the stress response THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE (evolutionary response?)When a real or imagined threatening stressor is perceived, the brain initiates the stress response by triggering a series of chemical chain-reactions that prepare the body for fight or flight, flock, or freeze response (healthy, vital defense mechanism and triggers the release of hormones that affect every organ and system of the body). The hypothalamus then stimulates the pituitary gland which then stimulates the adrenal gland on top of each kidney to release its stress hormones. The stress response hormones (adrenaline/epinephrine) cause a number of biochemical and physiological changes (increased breathing, blood pressure and heart rates, diversion of blood away from non-essential tasks) which in the short-term are vital and healthy but if the stressor is chronic then these stress hormones can start to undermine our health. Our stress response is designed to be triggered mainly in the short-term. http://stresshelp.tripod.com/id15.html
The hypothalamus responds to signals of stress by recruiting the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, also called the fight or flight response. The body prepares for the fight or flight response by:
- Shunting blood from the skin and digestive organs to the muscles.
- Providing more fuel through an increase of glucagon action, in other words, releasing glucose from stored glycogen. The hypothalamus stimulated a release of ACTH from the pituitary gland to increase cortisol levels from the adrenal glands.
Cortisol helps supply cells with amino acids and fatty acids for energy supply while diverting glucose from muscles for use by the brain. The first step in confronting any type of stress is to repond to the fight/flight system as its functions dictate. Physical exercise that expends energy, such s running, jumping rope, and walking fast will help recycle various hormones and secretions to bring the body back to homeostatic levels. It is much easier to solve problems in a more tranquil state. http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=AP13804
Describe the neurophysiology of Arousal and Attention
Neurophysiology manifests itself externally through preparatory physiological responses to novel stimuli. These changes allow for the brain to be able to "take in information rapidly and efficiently and of giving priority to those systems that might need to respond promptly to that information. These physiological changes are usually manifested in changes:
- in heart rate
- in electrical conductivity of the skin
- size of the pupils of the eyes
- patterns of respiration
- level of tension in the muscles
One of the crucial factors in this process is the evaluation of the signal and the assessment of its significance. Physiologically this entails shifting the level of arousal and focusing available resources (attention) on the demands the signal makes.
Sensory input - Primary sensory pathways - Brainstem and midbrain (sensory pathways have lateral connections with them) - Reticular formation (controls level of arousal and if damaged can render individual unarousable) - 1) Projects pathways to cerebral cortex , and - 2) Central relay structure: the thalamus Impulses sent to higher (cortical) levels of the brain
When this ascending reticular activating system is operating, the individual is alert, aroused, and attentive. Reduction of its activity results in somnolence or inattentiveness; extreme reduction (for example, by anesthesia or concussion) may lead to confusion or unconsciousness, even though the senses still pass messages to the brain over the direct pathways. The reticular system seems to account physiologically for the sustained, tonic shifts in an individual's level of involvement with the environment, including the control of sleep-wakefulness.
Outline the basic structures in the central nervous system
The central nervous system is the central structure which relays impulses and messages throughout the whole body. It comprises of two major organs: the spinal cord and the brain.
Spinal cord
Within the spinal cord one finds the association neuron. This neuron composes the majority of the spinal cord, and serves as an integration centre or interpretation centre, of sensory neurons and motor neurons. A sensory neuron informs the body of its environment, the association neuron interprets the information, and responds to the environment with the motor neuron.
The brain is divided into three segments: the forebrain, midbrain, and hind brain. Being a hotspot for neurons, the brain creates a central location where impulses can be identified, organised and responded to.
Social Facilitation = When we are have tasks which we find relatively easy, we find the presence of other people a positive stimulus such that we perform even better. However, when the tasks are difficult, we find the audience unnerving and we are more likely to put in a worse performance. When the task being performed is relatively easy, we are likely to do it more quickly. When the task is difficult, then we are likely to take more time to ensure we get it right (it is more embarrassing to be seen to be wrong than be seen to be slow). This is because first, the presence of others increases physiological arousal such that our bodies become more energized, and secondly because when we are aroused it is more difficult to perform new or difficult tasks. The dominant response is that under arousal it is easier to do things we can easily perform. The presence of others makes us suspect evaluation. Depending on how we forecast that evaluation, we may look forward to either adulation or criticism and rejection.
A Level Psychology Through Diagrams
Grahame Hill
Oxford University Press (2001)
Page 254
Zajonc, Heingartner and Herman (1969) got cockroaches to run down a clear tube towards a light. They ran faster when watched by other cockroaches. When put in a simple maze, it took them longer when they were being watched. (But did the watching humans have an effect? Who knows? :).
Michaels (1982) and three colleagues overtly watched students play pool. The better players got better. The novices got worse.
Top sports people are often lifted by the crowd to give their best ever performances at big events. Lower down the order, less confident sports people can find the crowds unnerving and consequently make mistakes.
Application = when you want someone to feel good, give them an audience for an easy task. If you want to destabilize them, give them an audience for a difficult task. This will give you an opportunity to rescue them, building trust.
Defending = when an audience suddenly appears when you are uncertain about an important task, ask them to go away. Refuse to continue until they do and you have subsequently calmed down.
Martens et al. (1990) developed the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI). Martens' original CSAI just measured state anxiety, but the CSAI-2 measures different sorts of state anxiety (somatic and cognitive) as well as self-confidence. The procedure is to test athletes 48 hours, 24 hours, 2 hours and 5 minutes before a competition: Martens calls this a TIME-TO-EVENT PARADIGM. The first test establishes baseline measures and we can see how the later tests show more or less anxiety than the baseline. Martens found that cognitive anxiety stayed constant or dropped steadily on the run-up to the event, rising suddenly after the warm-up; somatic anxiety rose steadily before the competition and peaked dramatically in the minutes before the event.
The questionnaire has 27 questions which are answered by ticking "Not At All", "Somewhat", "Moderately So" or "Very Much So". The test produces three scores (somatic, cognitive and confidence) which range from 9 (lowest) to 36 (highest). Here are some examples of the questions:
- My body feels tense (somatic anxiety)
- I'm confident I can meet the challenge (self-confidence)
- I feel nervous (cognitive anxiety)

Japanese knotweed whole herb powder dosage
I'm an Ayurvedic practitioner in France. We are uncovering a major epidemic of lyme in Dordogne. I have neuroborreliosis and will be experimenting with your protocol personally and professionally while also applying Ayurvedic detox (pancha karma) techniques. I have a question about dosage for whole powders: when you say in your book, for those who want to use the whole Japanese knotweed powder, to fill 8 – 16 '00' size capsules and take in four equal doses daily, I am trying to determine how much this is in grams for those who don't like using capsules. In my view, for those with weakened digestive fire, a lot of capsules tends to create a gluey substance, and possibly more Ama, or toxic residues). Am I correct in thinking that since '00' capsules hold approximately 950 mg, the powder dosage would be 7.6 grams – 15.2 g of powder in four equal doses – that is, approx. 2 g x 4/day to 3.8 g x 4/day at the higher dosage? Thanks for your help in confirming the powder dosage. And thank you for the vital knowledge you are sharing with us for increased health of body, mind, heart and planet. Through your work and compassionate presence, you are helping me heal lyme in myself and others far more effectively. It would be wonderful if my colleagues and I could organize a lyme conference in Dordogne someday and invite you as guest speaker! We are very behind the U.S. and Germany in treating this disease and many medical professionals, lyme patients and undiagnosed lyme sufferers are feeling quite lost at the moment. What would you say to a trip to southwestern France? With gratitude.
Yes, you are right in your estimation. The Chinese high dose is about 30 grams per day. However, in general I prefer just using one TBS 3x daily mixed in juice and increasing it to 3 TBS 3x daily over time. That is a rougher way to do it but a bit easier than trying to measure it all out, especially for those with lyme. And I would love to visit and teach there. I do get quite a few emails from Europe regarding lyme, a number of them from France, and it would be fun to talk about lyme there. Thanks for asking.

Dear Stephen,
Thank you for everything you're doing for all of us. Your knowledge is a Godsend!
I have a question, I've been ill and until recently undiagnosed and untreated for Lyme, bartonella and babesia. It's wreaked havoc on my thyroid and endocrine system. That being said, I read your books and poured over the website ordered my herbs from woodland essences and took my first dosage yesterday.
I may have gone overboard with my enthusiasm to get well and taken too much. My stomach and breasts are so swollen and sore I'm not sure which herb did it and if it's a good sign or not. I look like I'm 7 mos pregnant right now. On the bright side, I've had this non stop swollen lingual tonsil that's been shutting off my airways for the last 6 mos and that's finally going down. Something abs weren't doing.
Here's what I took: boneset, Japanese knotweed, cordylepsis, sida acuta, hawthorn. I'm estrogen dominant and have an alcohol sensitivity. These were all tinctures. Alcohol doesn't make my stomach swell, oh I'm also gluten free. Other than that I can't believe what's happening. My night sweats stopped. So should I push on and this will resolve itself or is there an herb that I can't handle?
Thank you,
January 14, 2013 at 9:18 am
Lisa, I'm not a doctor, but I would honestly stop all of them, and add one back at a time, giving a few days in between.. To figure out your reaction issues. 🙂 Good luck!
October 22, 2014 at 10:31 pm
I am a medical herbalist and am currently working with a Gp in the Uk . I would like to do some research on Japanese knotweed and was wondering if you could send me some links to any research that would be relevant in connection with Japaneses knot weed and lyme.
Some of my client have been on Japanese knotweed for over 3 years and im wondering how long to keep them on it without a break?
I would really appreciate and links of research on this.
Thanks again for your great work , were would we be without you?
Im also wondering how to monitor the use of your protocol as this is the one i am using , im sure many are too how could we return the feed back as is has been great?
all the best

I know this is late to the game, but I wanted to mention a possible dosing problem with the 3 Tbs 3x a day. I have a package of the Nuherbs Japanese Bushy Knotweed Root, 1lb Bulk Herb. 1 loose tsp of this is just under 2 grams. A Tbs is 5.6 grams. 3 Tbs 4x a day would equal over 50 grams of the powder.
Maybe this is more in line with the Chinese 30 gram dosage when using wild home-crushed herb? Or is 50 grams better than the 30?
July 17, 2015 at 4:15 pm
I meant 3 Tbs 3x a day would equal over 50 grams.
July 21, 2015 at 1:07 pm
Hey Brandon I was looking over at his Core Protcol when he recommended the Source Naturals Resveratrol. It says 500mg of Knotweed is in it. He recommended 1-4 tabs 3-4 times a day. So at his max dosage I am gathering 10 grams of knotweed per day. So 2-3 TBS per day should be enough. I'm not sure why he said increase up to 3 TBS a day. I personally think 3 tbs of cat's claw and 3 tbs of knotweed per day is a good amount to work up to and stick with for a while.
July 25, 2015 at 2:10 pm
Look at the references in his books, you will find lots of info there – and then using these references, search their references.
SH Buhner has specified certain herbs not only bec. they work, but also on the basis of the scientific research done on them. This is useful for those needing to substantiate "science" to allopathic minded folk and those who wish to standardize doses, which when self treating and not very knowledgeable about herbs is the safest recommendation.
There are so many herbal websites, it should be easy to learn more and gather your own links. I have so many and it would be very time consuming to cut and paste them all — in Europe the one I appreciate is "Henrietta's" Amazing resource and she needs assistance in transcription from herbal communities – she has several classic texts that need tending in order to preserve the knowledge.
July 25, 2015 at 2:11 pm
Really good and important addendum Brandon. Thank you from me!!
July 25, 2015 at 2:16 pm
Julia –
IMO – Knotweed, in smaller doses could be of health benefit in general for most of us, if not all, not just those who are borrelia infected.
Resveratol, the major constituent in Knotweed is quite healthful.
Look around to see the countra-indications.
I would not dose at therapuetic levels for a long time. As always it will be the individual's terrain which will determine this. Tapering off at times, and watching carefully for individual reactions/results is always a good idea, as is adding one herb at a time in this protocol.
August 24, 2015 at 7:32 pm
Hi Julia. I am an herbalist working with Lyme patients and using Buhner's protocol too. You can contact me at Elise Weisinger on facebook or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you so much Buhner, you have helped so many people! This is an epidemic for sure. I would also like an opportunity to give feedback.
Brandon: That is 8g of knotweed per day at the max dose… so just weigh out 8 grams and take in divided doses if you can. How does that taste, btw?
October 10, 2015 at 10:12 am
3 tbs of dry herb 3x day would be 50.4 grams
1 level tsp = 1.2 grams
3 tsp = 1 tbs = 5.6 grams
3 tbs = 16.8
3 tbs 3x day = 50.4
1-4 tablets = 500mg – 2,000mg per dose
3-4x = 1,500mg – 8,000mg daily
comparable dry herb to tablet daily dose would be approx.
1 tsp (1.2g) – 1.5 tbs/4.5 tsp (8.4g) daily
Please correct if I missed something.
May 14, 2016 at 6:12 pm
Yes you're correct. I'm currently taking the Green Dragon Botanicals LB Core Protocol and taking 10 capsules (with 500mg/3 capsules) 3 times per day = 4,500 mg per day. Working up to 6,000 mg per day ideally…
Most symptoms are handled quite well by the product. this is the one Stephen recommends.

The Hilti TE DRS-M is a unique type of dust collector. The rather large unit attaches to the front of the Hilti TE 7-AC; once fitted, it looks very much like part of the tool.
Other than the telescoping suction head, I didn't notice any difference handling the tool once I started drilling. The rotary hammer's motor powers a small vacuum fan inside the unit via an external mechanical drive. The unit has a telescoping suction head that the bit passes through surrounded by cleaning bristles. As the bit sinks into the hole, the suction head retracts and remains flush against the work surface. The concrete dust is sucked up through the head as it is brought out of the hole by the flutes of the bit and is captured by a filter in the dust receptacle.
This receptacle slips out from the bottom of the unit with the press of a button, making it very easy to empty. It works best with a 4-inch bit; a 6-inch bit extends about an inch past the suction head, rendering the unit useless for the first inch of drilling. The nosepiece retracts far enough to allow a 3-1/2-inch-deep hole with the 4-inch bit, and there is a built-in adjustable depth stop.
I used the TE DRS-M in both straight-down and horizontal drilling, and it worked extremely well, especially horizontally as it prevented any dust from escaping and falling to the floor. The only time a little concrete dust did fall out of the hole was when I pulled the bit out; it doesn't vacuum out the entire hole, it just intercepts the dust being carried out.

Cuban Immigration Late 1950's
In 1959 Fidel Castro overthrew the favored Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista and took over.
Before this, Cuba wasn't such a bad place to live and, but after he took over many people left Cuba for the United States for freedom. Most of these immigrants settled in Miami Dade County, Florida, 63% to be exact, Why? You may ask, well it is a close place to Cuba with lots of other Cubans. The U.S. Government was open to Cuban immigrants and even aided eligible immigrants. 1.3 billion dollars were used for financial assistance to Cubans. They were eligible for public assistance, Medicare, English courses, scholarships, low interest college loans, and business loans to start businesses. The most significant waves of Cuban immigrants have been in the last fifty years and there have been four significant waves since then. One of which was in 1980 when 125,000 immigrants traveled by boat to Florida and the U.S. let them in unknowing that they were "undesirables". In total, there have been over 250,000 Cubans that have left Cuba since 1959. In total there are over 541,000 people in the U.S. that are Cuban. Economically, Cubans do pretty well and most are employed. The wealthiest usually are caterers that mostly cater to their Cuban community (Especially roasted pigs on Christmas Eve). In fact, there was one Cuban that was Chef of Staff of the White House. Financially, Cubans are also doing pretty well too. The median income for a Cuban-American is $36,671 which is higher than other Hispanic groups in the U.S. but lower than non-Hispanic whites. The median income for a U.S. born Cuban is about $50,000 which is higher than other non-Hispanic whites.

My mother passed away approximately 2 years ago. She did not leave a will, but me and my siblings have signed papers to appoint the eldest sibling as administrator of our mother's estate. We have been approached by our eldest sibling, if we would agree to sign our mother's property in his name. My other siblings disagree with his decision and has decided not to sign any forms to transfer the property into his name. We have disagreed based on his negligence of handling the property with the proper repairs, allowing rent to lapse as well as lateness of paying the taxes. How long can he stay as administrator of the estate?
Estate Planning Attorney
The original appointment will last until the estate is settled; however, if you do not feel he is doing the job properly you could ask the Court to remove him and replace him with a different Administrator. Absent unusual circumstances 2 years is typically long enought to complete an administration.

Probate Attorney
I am sorry your family is going through a time of such conflict. I am an attorney practicing in New Jersey. The administrator of an estate is supposed to act in a timely way to gather assets, pay taxes and distribute property. If the estate has not been closed within two years, it may mean that the administrator has been negligent, but estates often remain open for longer than two years. I have a question, however, about why the administrator wants to transfer all of the property into his individual name - if this is what you meant. This would not be appropriate unless each of you wishes to waive your right to receive a share in the estate. You should consult with an attorney experienced in these matters. A complete review of the facts, as well as the documents he has asked you to sign, is necessary in order to advise you regarding your options.

Released: Jan 01st, 1992
Running Time: 70
Director: Lance Heywood
Company: Infinnity Video
Cast: Kylie Chanel, Missy Warner, Patricia Kennedy, Madison (I), Condole Heart, Johnny (I), Dan Steele, Cal Jammer, Don Fernando, Jake Steed, Ron Jeremy
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
There is no real connection between the five erotic segments, except for the occasional reference to "really weird stuff".
The only weird thing that I notice is in scene three when somebody said a word or two that I could actually hear dearly. Also on the strange side is the appearance of Dan Steele, sans Suzanne St. Lorraine. But at least he has both Madison and Patricia Kennedy at the same time to make up for it. It's the best scene of the show. Otherwise, there's little magic here.

Epic Heroes: Kung Fu's Ultimate Warriors
Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Nov 17, 2009Includes:The Heroic Ones (1970) The Delightful Forest (1972) Two Champions of Shaolin (1980) Heroes Shed No Tears (1986) The Heroic Ones Chang Cheh takes the director's chair for this martial arts adventure produced by the Shaw Brothers and set during the final years of the Tang Dynasty. The Chinese Emperor has requested that barbarian chieftain Li Ke-yung (Ku Feng) recapture the capitol city, which has recently fallen under the rule of a powerful rebel leader. In order to accomplish this formidable task, Ke-yung calls on his thirteen sons, each of whom are powerful fighters. Li Shih-szu (Ti Lung) and Li Tsun-hsiao (David Keung) in particular are more than up to the task, and may be cunning enough to successfully plan and execute this dangerous mission. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide The Delightful Forest No synopsis available. Two Champions of Shaolin Master kung-fu director Chang Cheh delivers this straight-ahead period martial arts saga. Tung Chien-chen (Lo Mang) was accepting into the hallowed Shaolin Temple even though he is Manchu, because his parents were both killed by the same. Shaolin has been locked in a fierce rivalry with the Wu Tang clan, which is allied with the Manchu born Ching emperor. When Tung is wounded in a skirmish with a group of Wu Tang's men, he is given safe haven from a master of knife throwing named Chin Tai-lei (Sun Chien) and his sister, Pei. Tung soon learns the finer points of their art and eventually, along with fellow kung-fu master Hu Wei-chen (Chiang Sheng), strikes revenge against the Wu Tang. Later, Tung proposes to Pei, but during the reception, the Wu Tang attack, kidnapping Tung and killing Pei and her brother. Will Tung get out of this ugly situation and find justice? ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide Heroes Shed No Tears A group of Chinese soldiers take on a vicious drug lord in Heroes Shed No Tears, an early film from famed director John Woo. The action takes place in Southeast Asia's Golden Triangle, notorious as one of the largest international centers of drug trafficking. As the film begins, an elite commando force is deep within the Triangle, launching an extremely bloody attack on the headquarters of drug kingpin General Samton. The raid ends with the successful capture of Samton -- but that is only the beginning of the their mission. The greater challenge lies in surviving long enough to bring their captive across the border of Thailand. During their journey, the group must struggle against Samton's henchmen and a brutal Vietnamese colonel they encounter along the way. While there is plenty of firepower in evidence, many of the action sequences lack the same level of elegance and style as Woo's later work. Instead, the film veers between moments of slapstick and horrific brutality of war in a fashion that would be more successful in his later Bullet in the Head. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Hi Guys...I changed my wordpress blog domain name from http://www.weightlosssimply.co.uk to http://www.weightnfitness.com. The problem is the site now shows on both, which I don't want! I have contacted my hosting provider and they say this:
The Alias is set up correctly. The way it is setup will allow you to cancel the weightlosssimply domain and not renew it and the site will still work. There is nothing on the cloud hosting platform which is linking your weightnfitness domain to weightloss simply. You need to check your software configuration (somewhere in wordpress) where it is linking weightlosssimply to weightnfitness, please remove anything that links the two and this will resolve the issues with the twitter/facebook apps.
. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated, thank you

From Our Editors
Although most centuries-old healing practices have lost their popularity, acupuncture has withstood the test of time. The traditional Chinese art of inserting ultra-fine needles under the skin to ease energy flow throughout the body remains a legitimate method for combating all sorts of ailments, from arthritis to menopause. At her health and wellness central, licensed acupuncturist Ingrid Gicherman tailors each of her sessions to individual consultations on her clients' medical histories. Gicherman catalyzes wellness with strategies beyond standard acupuncture, however; her acupressure-based Shiatsu massages foster full-body wellbeing, and her Bach flower remedies help her patients manage their stress and emotions without smashing every glass of water they drink on the ground and shouting "L'Chaim!"

Shouldn't I be feeling stronger by now?
YANMTrainer, YANMDoctor, etc. I've been part of a fitness bootcamp for more than a year. We do pretty intense one-hour workouts - a ton of stairstepping, jumping, sprinting, uphill sprints - 2 or 3 times a week. Even after a year, I am ALWAYS uncomfortably sore for multiple days after a workout. Which means I am always sore - usually in my calves and hamstrings, and so tired that I don't want to do any other physical activity. This isn't normal, is it? [more inside]
Which version of Vista for game-playing in Boot Camp?
I'm a late adaptor. After much happy gaming in Windows XP (via Boot Camp on my Mac), I am finally getting around to Vista-only games like Assassin's Creed III. So it's time to take the plunge and buy a copy of Vista on eBay. But which version? 64-bit or 32-bit? Service pack 1, 2, or 3? Starter, basic, or ultimate? Home or business? As somebody who isn't well-versed in Windows to begin with, I'm finding the choice a little overwhelming. I will be using Windows exclusively for gaming and don't care about any other features. Also, note that Windows Vista is the latest Windows my 2006 Mac Pro will support, so unfortunately "Skip straight to Windows 7 or 8" isn't an option. [more inside]

Is it possible to install windows 8 on a computer without a disc drive?
I bought a 2012 Imac without an optical disc drive. I researched difficulties others have had with this process and windows 7, like the thread here. After a week of trying I'm no closer than I was when I started. I have a copy of Windows 8 system builder that I want to install. The problems I face are these. *Microsoft only allows upgrades of Windows 8 to be downloaded. Stand alone copies are only available on a disc. Apple says Bootcamp does not work with the upgrade * it seems impossible to get an actual legal copy of the windows 8 iso. Digital River has only Windows 7 iso's. * I purchased an ASUS optical drive from Amazon that came without cables but the sata cables linked with this device do not fit with the back of the iMac.I am probably sending the drive back to Amazon, but am not sure where I go from there. Any suggestions?

Hi Y'all
I've been looking for days now, hoping to find a search form where users/visitors can look per country and then by state.
Using a form in a static page selecting the catogories by checking all the boxes they prefer.
A lot of people are using multible tags, not a big fan of it, so not a temp solution...
Is there a plugin that delivers my (app. high) demands? :)
or is there a raw code that I use?
Hope to hear from you guys and gals soon.
