Advance Praise for Real Influence
"Real Influence is literally going to change your life. It will vastly improve all your interactions and relationships, both professionally and personally. This book is the 'secret sauce' to optimal influence—and an absolute must-read."
— David T. Feinberg, MD, MBA, President, UCLA Health System
"The most insightful book I've read in years. Simple to read, easy to understand, yet delivers a powerful, compelling message about how to be more effective at work and throughout life."
— Bob Eckert, former CEO and Chairman, Mattel
"I love this book because of how much it influenced me."
— Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Management, USC, and author, On Becoming a Leader and Still Surprised
"Real Influence is just what you need, whether you want to influence a boss, a peer, a subordinate, your spouse, your parent, or your kid. It is the antidote to the push-back you get from people whenever they perceive you as being too pushy."
— Marshall Goldsmith, author, What Got You Here Won't Get You There
"Today's fast-paced, hectic world finds most people pulled in different directions at once, and the last thing they want is to be pushed. In Real Influence Goulston and Ullmen offer you the ultimate formula for influencing in a way that people trust. If he were still with us, Dale Carnegie would likely smile and nod in agreement that this book offers one of the absolute best ways to 'make friends and influence people.'"
— Ivan Misner, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author and founder of BNI®
"With deep insights from an array of industries and fields, Goulston and Ullmen lay out a terrific roadmap to making significant, positive impacts on one's organization, personal life, and society."
— Amir Dan Rubin, President and CEO, Stanford Hospital & Clinics
"With a wealth of relevant research, compelling examples, and straightforward, actionable tactics and advice, Goulston and Ullmen have created an incredibly valuable resource for improving one's ability to influence and positively impact others. This book isn't just good for your business, it's good for your life!"
— Heidi Roizen, Venture Partner, Draper Fisher Jurvetson; and Entrepreneurship Educator, Stanford University

There are some really, really cool libraries in this world. There are some that are environmentally proactive, some that house more books than one could read in a lifetime, and some that are just architecturally bizarre.
We've collected a list of some libraries we totally wouldn't mind getting locked into.
April 12, 2017 • Travel
It's National Library Week and we couldn't be more excited! While we're really into the idea of checking out any book we want for free – seriously, how is this a real thing? – today we're focusing on libraries that go beyond books. These libraries serve their communities in truly innovative ways, tapping into the needs and desires of their patrons to provide incredible public service. So, without further ado, here are our favorite above and beyond libraries.

In Madeleine L'Engle's classic A Wrinkle in Time, the characters quickly come to realize the advantages of using a tesseract (the titular wrinkle in time) in order to travel instantaneously to other planets. The Newbery Award-winning novel tells the story of the Murry children as they rescue their father from Camazotz, a dark planet of conformity. But as sequels to A Wrinkle in Time demonstrate, tesseracting can take the Murrys anywhere or anytime, from the farthest reaches of the galaxy into the tiniest cells. Since the Murrys have unlimited frequent flyer miles to tesser to any time and place, we've got some recommendations for their next vacations!

Remember that scene in Pretty Woman where Vivian says "We'll cop a squat under a tree somewhere" to Edward? Unlike Edward, who wasn't sure what that meant, we totally get it. We've got a stack of books we're dying to read and we've found some amazing, totally awesome places we want to cop a squat and read. We've got your back, Vivian.

Sydney Architecture Walks.
Sydney Architecture Walks.
SAW 2 - Utzon
Sydney Architecture Walks
Both an in-depth and textured portrait of enigmatic Danish architect Jørn Utzon, as well as a narrative of perhaps the 20th Centuries greatest architectural project, SAW 2 - Utzon draws the listener into the amazing visionary world of the architect of the Sydney Opera House.
Discussing the sources of the young architect's inspiration, his methods and philosophy, we chart the development of Utzon's ideas and their realisation in the platform, concrete shells and ceramic skin of Sydney Opera House. You will discover the influence of towering 20thC figures like LeCorbusier, Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen, Mies van der Rohe and even Picasso on Utzon's ideas, his interest in Gaudi, as well as the ways in which his work was at once utterly contemporary yet drew many of its ideas from the work of the ancients.
Using discarded drawings and models, Utzon's design of the acoustic interiors, glass walls and furniture, much of it ready for construction before he left in '66, will be discussed and you can judge for yourself how much Sydney lost when he was forced to leave the building half-finished.
SAW 2 finishes with the current Opera House refurbishment, a decade-long collaboration between Utzon, his architect son Jan and Sydney architect Richard Johnson.

"No Wedgys": A Note from a Son to his Father

My favorite part is, unquestionably, "No wedgys." [sic] That bit seems to have been added after he wrote the note. One pictures him … Read more

The comfort and convenience of a parlour sized body matched with the extra playability of a 14-fret neck join. Full low notes contrast and partner beautifully with the high end zing of the higher strings. The tone is one of real dynamics.
The full bass and sweet trebles of the Chester 000 are enhanced by perfect string balance and playability. The only thing you'll find difficult with this guitar is putting it down.
Tightly scalloped x bracing paired with a light top gives the Colton Dreadnought huge volume whilst maintaining clear, balanced separation between the sound of each individual string.

Dove - posted on 10/19/2012
I agree with Ariana. I will say that I've known a couple of families that have pushed the potty training and the children ended up with bowel issues for YEARS. Totally not worth it in my opinion.
Ariana - posted on 10/19/2012
I personally would not make a issue out of this. I know that sounds really irritating, and how can you not make an issue? But it sounds like this has become a control issue for her. Kids can go as far as holding their bowel movements until it becomes painful to refrain from pooing.
I would just let her wear the diapers for a couple weeks and not make an issue of it. After a couple weeks I would start again with trying to get her to use the potty with positive reinforcement when she does and basically a minimal response when she doesn't, like no reaction.
If she continues to start this pattern again for more than 3 weeks once you restart the process (with no comments on how she didn't use the potty or needs to wear a diaper) I would tell her that only babies wear diapers (not in a mean way, do it in a matter of fact way, like butterflies have wings). If you want to wear diapers you get treated like a baby. She might think it's fun at first but when she has to go to bed early, and isn't allowed to play with 'big girl' toys and has to sit in a playpen, she might not enjoy being a baby.
Holly - posted on 10/18/2012
throw away all diapers. tell her that you have to donate all her diapers to the babies... that she is a big girl now... remember YOU are the parent, and YOU are in charge of this, not her.
a nice thought would be if she went with you to a day care when you drop them off.

Bauhaus is committed to the development of women's ultimate and has been the birth place for many of Australia's finest women's ultimate players. We believe that true development of the sport lies not only in building our skills on the field, but also in building a leaderful community, networks of friendships across the globe, and clear pathways for junior players to access the sport.
Here are some of the ways we are investing in the growth of our sport. Let us know if you can help!
This year, we've added a Bauhaus Juniors team to our club!
Every Tuesday from 4-6pm Bauhaus is running sessions for high school girls at Reservoir Reserve, Grange Rd, Kew (see Where to find us). This session precedes one of the club's training for 2016. The first 2 sessions are free and joining for a season will cost $20. Come down and say hi!
Contact Kaitlin Richards at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
If you'd like to be involved in coaching our youngest members, let us know here.
Leadership Development
We believe that leadership skills should be taught to all players, regardless of whether they are in a formal leadership position or not. Bauhaus is running the first leadership development program this November.
Watch the video to hear our coach tell you all about it! All Bauhaus club members are welcome and encouraged to attend
The LDP is currently running. We'll tell you all about it when it's finished, and let you know when the next one is starting!
Bauhaus is supporting women's ultimate in universities by hosting an annual tournament in the lead up to the Australian University Games (AUGs). The first AUG Warm Up tournament was held in September 2015 and was open to all university women's teams and women's clubs. Follow Bauhaus Ultimate on Facebook to receive updates about this tournament in the future.
Ultimate around the world
We want to build a community of strong female athletes with connections all around the world.
In 2014 we formally made a sister team relationship with HUCK from Tokyo, Japan. We now share dinners (when in the same country!), practice games, fun events and news with our Japanese friends.
As part of building sister team relationships we encourage intercontinental exchanges between players. In 2013 our head coach Snail (Mish) Phillips played the Japanese National season with HUCK, and in 2014 HUCK's captain Yukari Kobori played the Australian National season with us.
We also love seeing our athletes represent internationally. Check out our Bauhaus girls at the 2015 Asia Oceanic Ultimate Championships!
Ultimate in Australia

Harry Styles Would Be 'Honoured' To Be Godfather To Liam Payne's Son
7 April 2017, 08:28 | Updated: 7 April 2017, 09:25
Harry Styles has admitted that he would feel honoured if he was made godfather to Liam Payne's baby boy - but has he even been asked yet?
The 'Sign of the Times' singer admitted his One Direction bandmate and girlfriend Cheryl have "a lot of people" in mind for who they want to take care of the spiritual welfare of their first child, who was born last month, but he won't be putting any pressure on them to make sure he is chosen for the role.

Picture | PA
Asked about the possibility of being a godparent to the baby, whose name has not yet been revealed, Harry said: "I think it's a roll of the dice, there are a lot of people Liam has in mind.
"I'm not going to add any extra pressure. If it came my way I would be honoured."
The 23-year-old singer is "very happy" that his friend has become a parent and says things are going "really well" for the couple.
In an interview, he said: "I spoke to Liam and he's loving it. He said it's going really well and everyone's great. So I'm very happy for him."
Meanwhile, although Harry hasn't yet announced a release date for his debut solo album, the singer has already had mixed reviews from his family.
My close friends and family know there are very few times when I'm left speechless... wow! I'm incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it's a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favourite memory I have so far. I'm completely in awe of his incredible mother and how she has been the whole way through this, she's really made my dreams come true. We haven't named him yet but he's already capturing hearts including mine. I feel very blessed. Happy Mother's Day everyone!
He said: "I had one piece of feedback from my stepdad, one of the songs on the album has a vocal effect in the background. And it finished and he went, 'How did you get a duck in the studio?'
"[My mum] cried a couple of times which was good, I think that was good."
Harry recently opened up on his best and worst dating habits, admitting he snores during his sleep, while he described his four nipples - two of which are, in fact, just dark marks on his chest - as being his best trait.
He said: "I think I snore and also I quite like routine, so I don't know if I'm incredibly spontaneous. Best trait ... I don't know, it's weird to pick your best. Shall we go with the nipples thing."

text: Interactive Smart Shelf serves both consumer and brand owner Selecting for example the most suitable high-tech training computer for your own personal needs can be a tricky task to do. Not necessarily! Stora Enso has created an Interactive Smart Shelf which guides consumers via the communication between product package and smart shelf. The solution was introduced in connection with the Lahti2017 Ski games in Finland.When a customer picks up a package a from the shelf, the interactive touch screen attached to the shelf presents the features of the product lifted off the shelf. The customer can pick up two products and compare their features easily thanks to nice visuals. The shelf has an internet connection to allow for specified product information and added features, like shop in shop. The brand-customized smart shelf can be tailor-made so that all products have their own solid place on the shelf and the collection looks attractive to the customers. The branded shelf is easy to spot in the store. The material of smart shelf is Re-boardTM by Stora Enso, which is a thick, rigid paperboard made from renewable materials and including a unique engineered fluted core. Re-board is incredibly lightweight yet exceptionally strong.The smart shelf is an excellent way to observe customer behavior and to improve customer service in order to be able to make appropriate changes, like product placement or campaigns, to increase sales and customer satisfaction and engagement. When a customer picks up a package from the smart shelf, the back-end system registers information based on behavior rather than words. The technique is based on Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID. The common benefit for the brand owner and retailer is that the smart shelf will increase efficiency by automatic replenishment and misplaced item alerts.

One of President Bush's signature rhetorical techniques is to set up a strawman — some people don't think Al Qaeda is our enemy, or something of the sort — and then strike it down.
It's an easy way to score points, as any high school debater knows, but it hardly advances a serious discussion.
In a meeting today with reporters at the Oval Office, in which he tried to prop up Michael Mukasey's nomination to be Attorney General, President Bush offered up a classic.
"People who say we are not at war are either disingenuous or naive."
With our military stretched beyond capacity by the Iraq War, and the price tag soaring well into the hundreds of billions of dollars–and counting, and Congress wrestling with a way to bring the war to a close, who exactly are these people who "say we are not at war"?


text:
By the numbers:
160,000 Allied troops, supported by more than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft, landed along a 50-mile stretch of French coastline. While the Allies sustained major casualties–9,000 killed or wounded–more than 100,000 troops would go on to march across the Continent to defeat Hitler.
Their finest hour, as Churchill said on June 18, 1940.
But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."
Remembering Normandy.

This was one of those shows I never thought I'd get to see, and if I did, it would be a total disappointment. I was excited to see this show, don't get me wrong, but I unfortunately went into it fearing the worst. I expected the set to be one of two things
1) A whole lot of new songs and one or two classics
2) Sad attempts at the old songs, completely butchering them and thus leaving a bitter taste in my mouth for years to come.
Thank god, this show was neither one of those cases.
The night started with a half-hour long set from folk singer/songwriter Colleen Brown. She played at Edmonton's Folk Fest in the summer of 2010 and did an amazing job. This night was no different. The band's whole style is like Neko Case with a little more late '50s and early '60s pop influence engrossed. The band was tight and she performed absolutely amazingly, but the Edmonton Events Centre may not have been the best venue for her. The acoustics were a little weird for her style, too much reverb in the room, and her overall style requires a very intimate setting to really appreciate how amazing she and her band are. If I saw Colleen Brown at a much smaller, more intimate venue with acoustics that complemented her sound more, her set would have probably been a whole different experience.
Shortly after Colleen Brown and her band left the stage, on came Jimmy Eat World. I prepared myself for some semblance of disappointment but had in the back of my mind to try and just appreciate the whole experience. I was completely blown away. Jimmy Eat World only played 3 or 4 songs off of its newest record in the two and a half hour long set and paid homage to almost all of its records; the only record they didn't play songs off of was its 1993 self-titled debut, but good luck meeting anyone who owns that record.
Because of how varied the band's set was, I want to do something different for this review. Instead of giving a general overview of the whole show, I'm going to talk about how it felt hearing every one of my favourite songs.
First off, they played "Lucky Denver Mint." The song was a mild hit in 1999, being on the soundtrack to the Drew Barrymore film Never Been Kissed, but it seems like the power of Bleed American kind of blew this mild hit out of the water. Still, Jimmy Eat World busted out this song and did a fantastic job bringing us all back to the late '90s again, even if for only one song.
Next, a bit later on in the set, the band played "23" off of its Futures record. This is the best song off of that record but was never a single. I always found it funny that the singles off of the band's records were always the worst songs on the record. I don't know if they do this on purpose or not, but they do obviously recognize this as the band played many non-singles song this night. "23" is a 7 seven and a half minute long song and it was played the whole way through. The song is even more amazing live than it is on record and I was left with goose-bumps throughout the whole song. It's one of those really special songs to me that holds a really special place in my heart and brings me back to when I was younger, more idealistic, and simply looking forward to the future. I didn't think anything could top hearing "23" live, and then the band topped it something fierce.
To close its pre-encore set, Jimmy Eat World played "Goodbye Sky Harbor" off of its Clarity record. I never thought I would ever get to hear this song live. It clocks in at about 16 minutes long with an interlude that drones for a good 12 minutes of it. I can see how it possibly wouldn't work live, but goddamn I love that song. But, Jimmy Eat World busted out that Magnum Opus anyways. They cut down the interlude a bit, but at the end of the song, there was an electronic segment where frontman Jim Atkins dropped his guitar and started playing a xylophone. This was a fantastic performance of the song and a great way to end the set, pre-encore of course, when the band busted two big hits from Bleed American, "The Middle" and "Sweetness."
This really was an amazing show. I can't say enough good things about Jimmy Eat World and they'll always be a band that holds something really special in me. It's almost inexplicable, I hear one of the songs off of Clarity or Bleed American and something just stirs in me. I'm brought back to summers the summers while I was in Junior High and I'm on the beach in Sylvan Lake; or, it's my last year of High School, I'm planning my future, and realizing what's really important to me in my life and what really isn't. Jimmy Eat World has been with me all along the way in many important stages of my life. Seeing them live was a really important and pinnacle moment in my life as well. I'm working through University, trying to get my adult life in order, and I'm seeing this amazing band with some of the most important people I have ever surrounded myself with.
I'm never going to forget this night.
My Thoughts on Jimmy Eat World, Edmonton 2011

ELF/LF - Electromagnetic Fields
Potentialities of ELF-EMF in regenerative medicine, cancer treatment and experimental issues
As in other electromagnetic field (EMF) frequency ranges, the medical or/and experimental application of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields are used to produce a great variety of outcomes; cellular differentiation, brain activity modulation, experimental cancer treatment, and others. ...
As all exposures revised in this website, all the intensities applied in all the experiments mentioned below are of low intensity, 1mT or less (except for very few exceptions), and being of low frequency the cause of any of the effects has nothing to do with heating, these radiations also are non-ionizing.
Cellular Differentiation
One of the most interesting outcomes for a future medical application, as regenerative therapy, is the promotion of cellular differentiation, in this ambit numerous positive results have been reached, that show that ELF-EMFs can promote osteogenesis, angiogenesis, or neurogenesis using cardiac stem cells, neural stem cells, and bone narrow mesenchymal cells among others.
In [1] is proposed that the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into neuronal phenotype is reached via reactive oxygen production that can cause the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation via phosphorylation and clustering, which may, in turn, lead to the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and an increase of the CREB phosphorylation. In [2] otherwise they found that early growth response protein 1 (Egr1) is one of the key transcription factors in ELF-EMF-induced neuronal differentiation.
One of the possible medical application of the neuronal differentiation promotion is to recover brain after ischemic damage, where some experiments have auspicious results. In an experiment [3] with neural progenitor cells (NPC data show that ELF-EMF promotes neurogenesis of ischemic NPCs and suggest that this effect may occur through the Akt pathway. On the other hand in an experimental thesis by Gao [4] in a rat model with cerebral ischemia, it's showed that the provoked proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells probably occur by the also detected upregulation of Hes1, Hes5 and Notch1.
Neurogenesis of hippocampal neural stem cells with upregulation of Hes1 has also found in [5], along with upregulation of Neurogenin 1 and NeuroD1 that are strongly associated with the pan-neuronal gene expression and the neuronal fate determination.
Also, in an experimental setup with embryonic neural stem cells [6] increased expression of NeuroD and Neurogenin 1 proneural genes has been found, and also that
" the expression of transient receptor potential canonical 1 (TRPC1) was significantly up-regulated accompanied by increased the peak amplitude of intracellular calcium level."
Some genes are found recursively affected along different experiments and targets, some others are detected to be affected in a novel way, in an experiment with human embryonic kidney cells they are identified 24 genes whose expression changed after ELF-EMF exposure [7], and their results points toward an important role of e histone lysine methyltransferase (Mll2), that is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KMT2D gene.
More interestingly, in this last study [7] they found that
" Remarkably, an EMF-free system that eliminates Earth's naturally occurring magnetic field abrogates these epigenetic changes, resulting in a failure to undergo reprogramming."
They point out that results support a model in which the environmental magnetic field promotes chromatin reorganization through the activation of Mll2, specifically, during the dynamic epigenetic changes initiated by expression of the 4 Yamanaka reprogramming factors. Anyway, it is interesting to note here that some special properties of water, as cluster formation, requires a geomagnetic natural-like EMF exposure (in particular its natural Schumann resonance frequency at 7.8Hz) to form [8], or as is argued in some experimental procedures [9] to develop its information storing properties, see sections [10,11].
Another use for regenerative medicine is the osteogenic differentiation to regenerate bone tissues. Findings in [12] suggests that the effects of electromagnetic fields on rat BMSCs' proliferation differentiation and mineralization are time duration dependent and that the MEK/ERK signalling pathway plays important role. Meanwhile in [13] it is showed that although when combined the EMF exposure with osteogenic differentiation medium the stimulation is more effective, electromagnetic field stimulation alone also motivated the expression of osteogenic genes.
It is an interesting review on dependence of Stem cell fate on electromagnetic fields [14] where the electromagnetic (EM) nature of the cells is also discussed.
Last but not least, in an experimental procedure that uses very low intensity electromagnetic fields tuned to the Ca2+ ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) at 7 Hz [15] (see this text below for a section on ICR) it is show that exposure also induced neuronal differentiation.
There is a very interesting line of investigation by Persinger and co-workers [16,17,18,19] where they are using physiologically-patterned ELF-EMF of very low intensity to treat cancer, inhibiting cancer cell grow and dissolving them, although with some difficulties that are trying to resolve as expressed in [17]:
" Exposure to a particular pattern of weak (~3 to 5 μT) magnetic fields produced by computer-generated point durations within three-dimensions completely dissolved malignant cancer cells but not healthy cells. Biomolecular analyses and confocal microscopy indicated excessive expansion followed by contraction contributed to the "explosion" of the cell. However, after months of replicable effects, the phenomenon slowly ceased."
A great advantage is that unlike chemical therapies and ionizing radiation, the ELF-EMF diminish the growth of only malignant cells but not normal cells. In their latest investigation [19] they confirm that the effects of electromagnetic fields on melanoma cells are dependent on their spatial and temporal character, with some configurations that provoke inhibition of cell proliferation and others with no effects, and all this using same intensities and frequencies (but differently activated over time).
The capacities of applied ELF-EMF to affect cancer specifically is very probably related to special endogenous electromagnetic fields of cancer cells, to which is a complete section [20] dedicated here, where numerous facts and theories are presented. In [21] for example is proposed that disrupted respiration of cancer cells generate incoherent EM that in turn promote DNA strand break, and in [22] is proposed to use the enhanced electromagnetism from cancer's centrosome clusters to attract therapeutic nanoparticles, in [23] is expressed that
" Disturbances in oxidative metabolism and coherence are a central issue in cancer development. Oxidative metabolism may be impaired by decreased pyruvate transfer to the mitochondrial matrix, either by parasitic consumption and/or mitochondrial dysfunction. This can in turn lead to disturbance in water molecules' ordering, diminished power, and coherence of the electromagnetic field. In tumours with the Warburg (reverse Warburg) effect, mitochondrial dysfunction affects cancer cells (fibroblasts associated with cancer cells), and the electromagnetic field generated by microtubules in cancer cells has low power (high power due to transport of energy-rich metabolites from fibroblasts), disturbed coherence, and a shifted frequency spectrum according to changed power."
Some Experimental Findings
In [24] it has been found a similar down regulatory effect of EMF on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) as would be seen in morphine treatment so ELF-EMF of very low intensities have potential to be used also as complementary or alternative treatment to morphine, reducing both pain and enhance patient quality.
In an experimental thesis [25] were physiologically patterned low frequency electromagnetic fields are used, it's show that exposure provoke the aggregation of bacteria in solutions, with changes in the structures of water that surround them, this effect is also seen around proteins were water is irradiated with infrared light [26] and the effect is related to the existence of Exclusion Zone waters, see section [27].
In [28] an ELF-EMF of 9 Hz was shown to exert the greatest effect on aqueous solutions of the hepatitis virus DNA amplicons, with changes in their hydration sell that suggest, again, that the aqueous milieu plays a key role as a primary target for weak effects. In this sense is very interesting the possible electromagnetic mediated DNA-Water interaction that is supported in this robust theoretical work [29], you can see this [30] section for more.
In [29] it's
" believed that if we are in an environment with bio-inspired electromagnetic signals generated by mimicking natural earth and body cells frequencies (ELF's), then our cells will be more energetic and active, providing greater health … This innovative bio-inspired system has been applied for the health enhancement of humans, equines and pets etc. … It has been proven that this bio-inspired system can be effectively applied to many areas such as (1) human health enhancement and illness treatment, (2) pet health enhancement, (3) equine health treatment and (4) reduction or elimination of 'jet lag'."
Returning to the detected outcomes, in [31] it has found that the exposure to a 50-Hz magnetic field induce mitochondrial permeability transition (that can lead to mitochondrial swelling and cell death through apoptosis or necrosis depending on the particular biological setting), presumably through the ROS/GSK-3β signaling pathway. Evidences in [32] results confirm that the ELF-EMF affects not only the ROS product but also the enzymatic activity with the modulation of catalase, cytochrome P450 and inducible nitric oxid protein expression.
In [33], after exposed human embryonic kidney cells grown in culture increased both arachidonic acid (AA) and leukotriene E4 (LTE4) levels in HEK293 cells, is concluded that 50Hz ELF-EMF inhibits T-type calcium channels (widely expressed and that play key roles in various physiological functions like neuronal burst firing, cardiac pacemaking or secretion of hormones) through AA/LTE4 signaling pathway. The effect on those channels is also found in [16] where the promoted Ca2+ influx could be blocked by inhibitors of voltage-gated T-type Ca2+ channels. The results of [34] in cultured entorhinal cortex neurons, on the contrary, has found that exposure have to influences the intracellular calcium dynamics via a calcium channel-independent mechanism.
Various studies have been focused in neuronal or cerebellar cells.
In [35] Increased Na+ Currents in Rat Cerebellar Granule Cells as a result of cAMP/PKA pathway modulation was detected after 50 Hz 1mT exposure, in [36] is show that ELF-MF and ischemia separately increase oxidative stress on brains, but when applied together they have capability to decrease values it.
More generally in the brain function, relative low intensity (maximum 0.3 mT) ELF-EMFs, in the frequency range used by the brain, have show to change brain's intrinsic EEG, with for example, decreased alpha band on frontal and central areas in closed-eyes state [37]. In [38] the results have led to the authors to conclude that exposure to ELF-EMF facilitates vesicle endocytosis and synaptic plasticity in a calcium-dependent manner by increasing calcium channel expression at the nerve terminal.
Exposure to 5Hz 0.1mT [39] increased the numbers of rearing, sniffing, and locomotor activity of Wistar rats, with alterations in plasma stress hormones and glucose levels bot in 1Hz and 5Hz exposure frequencies used.
Ion Cyclotron
In a somewhat extended line of research, very low intensity ELF-EMF in the order of the geomagnetic field intensity or less are used at frequencies that correspond to in cyclotron frequencies of specific molecules, for example in case of ca2+ [40]:
" Ca2+ ions within the specific centers of Ca2+binding proteins are the primary target of the magnetic field. Bound Ca2+ is regarded as an isotropic charged oscillator, and the MF causes precession of the axis of the Ca2+ oscillator vibration. Significant changes in the character of precession, as well as in the time average value of the degree of polarization of the oscillations of Ca2+ in a plane perpendicular to MF direction, can be induced if an alternating low frequency MF with specific resonance parameters is applied ... A low frequency MF with Ca2+ ion resonance parameters (Ca2+MF) causes a change in the Ca2+ binding constant of the protein, that is, a change in the duration of Ca2+ association with the Ca2+ binding center of the molecule, by approximately one order of magnitude."
In the mentioned experimental paper using the calculated frequency of 18.5 HZ (third harmonic of the main or "cyclotron" frequency) a considerable effect on the level of activity of Ca2+ dependent proteinases is achieved, which is further confirmed in [41]. Use of the Ca2+ main cyclotron frequency at 7 Hz is decided in [15] where an important change in shape and morphology with the outgrowth of neuritic-like structures together with a lower proliferation rate and metabolic activity is achieved for human pluripotent embryonal carcinoma cells.
In the review [42], in the first table, is visible the calculated ion cyclotron frequencies, those are for 0.001 mT "environmental" static MF intensity, for other intensities simply it must be multiply, for example the ICR for Ca2+ at 0.01 mT will be 7.6 Hz. In table 2 are listed various experiments with different outcomes where Ca2+ ICR was used with intensities ranging from 0.010 mT to 0.060 mT (as comparison, earth geomagnetic fields range proximately from 0.025 mT to 0.065 mT). As mentioned, It must be said that ICR experiments also involve a static magnetic field with a strength that is in the same order of magnitude, to emulate in a controlled way a geomagnetic static MF.
In another experiment where is used the hydronium (H3O+) ion cyclotron frequency [43] it is found that:
" under ICR stimulation water undergoes a transition to a form that is hydroxonium-like, with the subsequent emission of a transient 48.5 Hz magnetic signal, in the absence of any other measurable field. Our results indicate that hydronium resonance stimulation alters the structure of water, enhancing the concentration of EZ-water. These results are not only consistent with Del Giudice's model of electromagnetically coherent domains, but they can also be interpreted to show that these domains exist in quantized spin states."
For more on Exclusion Zone (EZ) water you can visit the section [27].
Further confirmation of this effects come in [44] where weak magnetic field (50 nT) hydronium ICE at the field combination of 7.84 Hz, 7.5 µT, markedly changes water structure, as evidenced by the finding of an altered index of refraction exactly at this combined field.
Ion cyclotron frequencies of higher harmonics are used in a recent Nature publication [45] where ICR related frequency components significantly increased bone formation activity and it slightly increased bone resorption activity indirectly on mice. The frequencies used in this experiment are based on the following premises:
" According to ICR model, the resonant frequencies of many biologically important ions, such as Na + , K + and Ca 2+ , are intermittent frequency points and fall within 1–100 Hz 23, 25 . Aparting from the fundamental frequency of resonant frequencies, when the frequency of EMF is equal to higher harmonics of the cyclotron frequencies, the biological resonant effectiveness might also be attained 26, 27 . Moreover, these higher harmonics of the cyclotron frequencies of the biologically relevant ions is blow 3,000 Hz 24 . In addition, high frequency EMF is also capable of inducing osteogenic differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells 28 . Therefore, we designed four kinds of EMF with different frequency spectrum bands (1–100 Hz, 100–3,000 Hz, 3,000–50,000 Hz and 1–50,000 Hz), among which 1–100 Hz and 100–3,000 Hz are designated as ICR frequency bands."
Ion cyclotron resonance also was used to suppress atrial fibrillation [46] in an experiment that use very low intensity fields (4 orders of magnitude less than geomagnetic fields) applied over different levels of the cardiac autonomic nervous system of dogs, and the authors believe that the effect is due to some form of subtle resonance related to neurotransmitters, they calculated ICR for vasostatin-1 a critical element in suppressing the activity of the intrinsic cardiac autonomic nervous system.
A review on ICR can be found in [47].
Related Investigations
Very related and complementary are the researches that pay more attention to the possible pernicious effects of the indiscriminate artificial ELF-EMF generated in this technological and industrial era, and that are widely employed in electrical appliances and different equipment such as television sets, mobile phones, computers and microwaves. There is a section dedicated to that [48], where it can be found, as example, an interesting study that speak about radiation effects on the secondary structure of proteins [49] among others.

There is a lot going on in Tuesday's matchup between the Memphis Tigers and Oklahoma State Cowboys. For starters, it's the first time teams from the new American Athletic Conference and Big 12 will meet on the hardwood. In fact, the Cowboys will be part of the second tilt between the two conferences about a week from now when they host the South Florida Bulls.
The 8 PM (ET) tip from Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater is also the opening contest for this year's Old Spice Classic, with bracket play set for Nov. 28-Dec. 1 in Orlando at HP Field House. Tuesday's battle could very well be a preview of the finals for that tournament since the Tigers and Cowboys are the early favorites to take home the hardware.
ESPN will televise the potential sneak peek between the No. 11 Tigers and No. 7 Cowboys. Oklahoma State was initially sent out as 6 point chalk before that spread rose to 7 overnight. A total has yet to be released for the contest, so keep your browser pointed to SBR's live college basketball odds for that number.[/]{"component":"oddswidget", "eventId":249957, "sportsbooksIds":[43], "LineTypeId":2, "PeriodTypeId":1}[/]
Memphis Makes Rare November Road Trip
The Tigers were about a week behind most teams getting their season started, and hit the floor for just the second time when they take on OSU. Tuesday's tilt also marks the first time in just over eight years Memphis has traveled for a true road game in the opening month, though Josh Pastner's club has taken part in several neutral-court matches in previous Novembers.
Memphis had little trouble dispatching Austin Peay last Thursday, covering a 22 point spread with the 95-69 decision. The Tigers busted loose from the gate with the game's first eight points, then held the Governors scoreless over the final 3½ minutes of the opening stanza to take a 22-point lead into the locker room. Six Tigers scored 10 points or better, paced by Joe Jackson's 16 while the senior added seven assists. Geron Johnson, another senior starter, put up a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Pastner has a squad that includes five seniors, the list including Missouri transfer Michael Dixon Jr., and several freshmen are also expected to play a big role in getting Memphis to the NCAA Tournament next March. Forward Austin Nichols, one of last year's top 50 recruits, started for the Tigers in the season opener, netting six points and five boards in his 24 minutes of floor time. The versatile Nick King, another top 50 frosh, came off the bench to score 13 and grab five rebounds in only 15 minutes.
Memphis is playing without another senior transfer, David Pellom, who isn't expected back until mid-December due to knee surgery. The 6-8 Pellom missed all of last season with a wrist injury, and averaged over 10 PPG with George Washington in 2011-12.
Oklahoma State Built 'Ford' Tough
The Cowboys already have three wins under their belt, and head coach Travis Ford managed to get 13 different players into all three games. A deep roster is further reflected by six players averaging double-digits in the scoring column, helping OSU rank fourth in the country in the early going with 102.3 points per game on over 53% shooting from the field.
That scoring will surely come down as the Cowboys meet tougher competition; none of their first three games made it to the college basketball betting board, and the key Tuesday will be how fast they adjust to better talent on the other side after taking on the likes of Mississippi Valley State, Utah Valley and Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Sophomores Marcus Smart and Phil Forte, who have been playing together since their high school days in Flower Mound, Texas, are the big names on the OSU side, and the guards are off to a good start. The Cowboys aren't big, but wingmen Markel Brown and Le'Bryan Nash still present matchup problems, while Kamari Murphy and Michael Cobbins work the low post.
This is the sixth meeting between the schools, OSU winning three of the first five. The Cowboys and Tigers last met in the second round of the 2004 NCAA Tournament, with Oklahoma State coming away with a relatively easy 70-53 victory.
I'm going to travel the chalk line in this one for my free college basketball pick.

Gas Water Heater Repair Washington DC
A whole lot of our water heater repair time is used on undertaking repairs on gas water heaters, since they are quite possibly the most preferred kind of water heater. Be careful and pay attention to determine if any of the next issues are to take place with ones gas water heater. If you become aware of any one of these issues call to analyze exactly what the condition of the water heater is to assure it is functioning safely.
Gas Hot Water Heater Basics
Heating the water within ones home is normally the 2nd biggest utility expense. Because of this, it is essential to choose the best heater whenever it is time for a replacement. Gas storage tank heaters range in size from 30 to 75 gallons, depending upon the amount of hot water that is required in ones home.
When any of the household appliances that utilize hot water have to have it, the water pipes get hot water from the gas heater's tank. The heated water is drawn from the water located at the top of the tank. Cold water getting in the bottom of the tank then replaces the used water amount.
A gas water heater can only be installed in a home that currently has a gas line hooked up. Many gas hot water heaters traditionally include a 6 to 12 year manufacturer leakage service warranty, relying on the size, make and model of the unit picked. This leakage service warranty safeguards the property owner from particular water heater malfunctions during the warranty duration. Check out this PDF from the Department of Energy.
Typical Reasons for a Gas Water Heater Repair Washington DC Service
These are the typical reasons we receive telephone calls for a hot water heater service call. If these concerns are occurring for you, inform us. It does not matter the brand name and model of ones water heater, we have practical experience fixing each kind.
Is The Water Heater Making Noises?
Are there weird sounds from the storage tank? Occasionally it might just appear to be popping noises or explosion sounds. It will be extremely disarming but normally a good flush of the storage tank can eradicate the noises.
Is the Water Heater Leaking?
If water is coming from the water storage tank do not put off calling us. One, we do not desire to have ones home suffer from water damage, and secondly, we need to fix the leak! Leaking water might be from different locations of the water heater and may be as straightforward as a drain valve not being closed tightly.
No Hot Water At All?
There are a few different reasons why one is not producing any, or enough hot water from any faucets or plumbing equipment. It might feel like this might be a large warning sign that the water heater is giving out, but that does not have to be the fact. One can find various things that may cause this occurring so don't panic.
Does Ones Hot Water Have an Odor?
There may be occasions when the hot water coming out from ones faucets may have a bad aroma. Despite the fact that this isn't a great circumstance, it often may be repaired easily and is not a sign that something definitely wrong is occurring.
Have a look at our blog with numerous informative ideas on how to best take care of ones appliance. It is recommended to learn the maintenance duties that need to be completed, which will help make ones heater last longer and utilize a smaller amount of energy.

If you like this e-zine, please do a friend and me a big favour and forward it to him. If a friend DID forward this to you and if you like what you read, please subscribe by visiting
Midlife Wisdom for Men.
Welcome to this issue of Midlife Wisdom for Men.
Well, it's the last day of 2007. How has it been for you? What do you need to do in 2008 so your life will go in the direction you want?
Every New Year's Day, Elizabeth and I do the "Lifetime Goal Setting" exercise from Alan Lakein's book (no longer in print) "How To Get Control Of Your Time And Your Life". If you would like to do it, you can find it here: www.midlife-men.com/lifemission.html. We find our goals have changed a bit from year to year as we age, and this exercise is a good way to keep some clarity about what is important, and what we want to accomplish.
My friend Courtney Milne is an extraordinary photographer, and has recently started a wonderful new site called "Pool of Possibilities". You might be interested in it.
There are about 1100 words in the articles in this newsletter, which should take you about three and a half minutes to read.
All the best in 2008,
Note From A Reader
Hello Mr. McNaughton,
My name is Todd and I subscribe to your news letter. I am 54 years old. I find it very interesting and informative, especially in regards to ones feelings and emotions as the aging process develops. As you profess, we must embrace the elder status of our lives.
I guess the reason for my note to you today is that I don't think that I would be single at this point in my life had I had access to the information about oneself that you talk about in your newsletters.
Writing this letter is somewhat therapeutic for me, and I just wanted to thank you for your profound insights. They show that, with all the turns in life, I can still see myself as somewhat normal in how I approach the elder status in life. I'm still looking for the right gal that will 'tolerate' my character and not constantly try and 'change' me....... With the knowledge, I can find the right stuff to give back to keep them happy. Maybe you could share some of your opinions about what men should do in my situation, in future newsletters. Please keep up the good work. I thank you again, Todd
Pool of Possibilities
Courtney Milne is not only a master photographer - he's an artist, author, educator, keynote speaker, and philanthropist. His career has taken him on a global journey that has spanned all seven continents. He has published 12 books of photography, including The Sacred Earth, with a foreword by His Holiness, The Dalai Lama. His limited edition collections are held by more than 25 galleries, museums and universities.
Courtney was given an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Regina, Saskatchewan (his home province) a couple of years ago.
Courtney is also a man of depth and discernment, and has gone through his own midlife transition. His story of that part of his life is here: Courtney Milne's Story
Well, recently, my good friend Courtney outdid himself, and YOU get to benefit from it.
Just as in the folk tale about the man who searched the world for diamonds and came home to discover them in his own back yard, Courtney discovered a world of wonder in his own pool on his acreage near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
He has taken more than 40,000 (yes, forty thousand) photos of his pool, in every light condition, and season, and then through his mastery of photo editing, has created pictures of incredible wonder and beauty. You would never know they are pictures of a pool!
Yes, I know I am speaking in hyperbole here, but I am amazed at these pictures.
Some, he has had a special contract printer put onto large canvasses, and sold them for thousands of dollars each.
Now here is the best part: We 'normal' folks can get one of these museum-quality pictures by email every day, and with a click go to his special site, and see a larger version, along with Courtney's daily insights into life as it is reflected in the picture. There is even a section for each visitor to create their own, private, journal entries, if they wish.
I have been receiving these beautiful daily "Mystical Calendar" messages for a couple of weeks now, and look forward to each new one.
A subscription costs about twenty cents a day, and right now, Courtney is making a special Buy One, Get One Free offer. Do you have a special friend you would like to make a New Year's gift to? Give them a subscription, and keep the other for yourself.
Or maybe split the annual subscription with a buddy.
Also, Courtney is offering an affiliate program, so if you sign up for that, and like the Pool of Possibilities as much as I do, so recommend it to a friend (which I am doing now, to you), and the friend subscribes, he will pay you a $20 commission. Got a favourite charity? Why not have it invite its members to buy Courtney's Pool of Possibilities, and make a commission for itself on each sale?
Anyway, enough said.
Check it out here (and if you subscribe, please use my affiliate number - M208): Pool of Possibilities
And may you experience much beauty in 2008!
Results From The Readership Survey
I appreciate all who took the time to respond to my Readership Survey in the last newsletter. (If you didn't, and would still like to, please go here: Men's Wisdom News Readership Survey
A total of sixty two readers filled out the survey (which takes maybe 30 seconds). Here are some of the results:
Ninety percent said they read this newsletter all, or most of the time.
Of those that don't read it all the time, most said it was because they get too much email, and a few said the articles weren't relevant, but unfortunately none suggested topics that would be more relevant.
I said I was thinking about recording it and offering it as an MP3 download. Ninety percent said they would not download it, so I guess at least for now, that idea will be shelved.
Regarding the question of a small fee for a subscription, 80% said they would not pay for a subscription, so I guess I will keep sending it out for free :-)
If you would like to make a small donation, drop me an email through my contact form at www.midlife-men.com and I will let you know how to do that. (I used to have a donation link on my website, but about a year ago, I suddenly started getting all kinds of donations, all from the same IP address, but with different credit cards. It looked as though someone had stolen a bunch of cards, and was testing them out to see whether they worked. As a result, I had to remove the link.)
It's Rumi's 800th 'Anniversary'
Rumi, a Persian who died (he called it his 'wedding day' because he would be united with the Divine)on December 17, 1273 is one of my favourite poets. I think he speaks particularly to us middle-aged folks. His poetry is 'ecstatic', in that he was an enlightened man, and used poetic images to talk about the Divine.
In honour of his anniversary, I thought I would include a couple of his poems, along with some commentary thanks to the Human Values in Aging Newsletter (Dec. 1, 2007)
Rumi wrote about the coming of age in these verses:
Why does a date-palm lose its leaves in autumn?
"They put on borrowed robes
Rumi's final point in this poem is that the whole of life is a kind of learning opportunity, a chance to wake up before we die. The second half of life, from midlife to old age, is a series of reminders that the lamp of our consciousness was actually "lit from another lamp."
Rumi again:
"Inside the Great Mystery that is,
Rumi's comment on when bad things happen: A poem called 'The Guest House'
This being human is a guesthouse.

Sonja was taking an afternoon nap on New Year's Eve before the festivities. After she woke up, she told Tom, her husband, 'I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a New Year's present. What do you think it all means?'
'Aha, you'll know tonight,' answered Tom, smiling broadly.
At midnight, as the New Year was chiming, Tom handed Sonja a small package. Delighted, she quickly opened it and found a book entitled: 'The meaning of dreams'.
