Amthal Fire & Security has upgraded the fire and security measures at The Marlborough Science Academy to feature high performance IP CCTV, access control and automatic fire detection systems to provide ultimate peace of mind for staff, pupils and visitors.
The Marlborough Science Academy, situated in St Albans, is a specialist science secondary school and sixth form, educating approximately 1,200 students and employing over 80 staff. The school is increasingly being used by the local community out of school hours and so the site required a general upgrade to its security and fire detection systems.
Amthal Fire & Security worked closely with the Estates Management team to provide a comprehensive security overview and offered a number of innovative ideas to ensure complete perimeter security and a smooth operating system throughout the Academy.
The electronic security solution specified, incorporated state of the art IP CCTV together with access control and automatic fire detection systems, all integrated into existing platforms. The structure was installed in just three weeks to ensure minimal disruption to learning timetables.
Says Chris Paice, Estates Manager at The Marlborough Science Academy: "The school is committed to offering staff, students and the wider local community a vibrant, happy and nurturing learning environment. So that we can do this as safely as possible, we ensure the fire and security systems, right from the entrance to the school and throughout the site, are all maintained to a high level.
"Amthal Fire & Security has consistently been highly professional and knowledgeable, going above and beyond the call of duty to provide a complete solution that was even installed at a much faster rate than we had scheduled.
We would not hesitate to recommend Amthal Fire & Security to any educational facility looking for guidance and expertise on all aspects of site security."
Jamie Allam, Commercial Director of Amthal Fire & Security added: "The Government's continued pledge towards the extended schools agenda means educational premises operate today on a much more 'open' nature with either full public access or permitted group access increasingly required.
"This places added pressures on fire and security measures to ensure even out of traditional school hours, the site is carefully monitored. Here, The Marlborough Science Academy has shown how working with a trusted brand as Amthal Fire & Security right from security specification throughout the process, can ensure a bespoke security system is created to operate with existing site technologies to keep disruption, cost and install times to a minimum."

Oil and gas fuel up on safety
Editor / Provider: Israel Gogol, freelancer, a&s International | Updated: 12/9/2014 | Article type: Infrastructure
From a safety and security perspective, oil and gas installations are among the most critical and challenging environments. The speed in which an incident can escalate to adisaster means that operators need to get information quickly to be able to react and minimize damages. Advances in video technology and video content analytics have great potential to assist oil and gas installations in detecting fires, leaks, and security threats, as well as help make operations more efficient.
As oil exploration moves to new regions across the world, so does the need for better monitoring of remote facilities, increased protection against terror threats, and pipeline and leak detection monitoring solutions. Exploration and drilling security systems will be the largest segment in terms of spending and adoption followed by refineries and storage facilities. According to research by Frost and Sullivan, the global oil and gas infrastructure security market was estimated at US$19.6 billion in 2013 and will grow to $24.7 billion by 2021. Including network and cyber security, the combined oil and gas security market will reach $30 billion by 2018.
Any damage to an oil and gas facility has grave consequences. Incidents have implications on employee safety, environmental damage, cleaning costs, damage penalties, equipment replacement, and the list goes on and on. This becomes even more challenging when considering the nature of these installations. There are hundreds of potential breach points for leaks and damages: numerous valves and pumps, meters upon meters of pipes. Even within the facility, environments are not the same. A refinery for example will include various types of oil, transported at different temperatures and pressures, from ambient temperatures and pressure up to 130 bars at 100°C.
In addition, sites are often located in remote and harsh environments. All these make the oil and gas industry one of the most demanding clients for safety and security products. One of the limitations of the oil and gas sector is the stringent regulations regarding equipment. For example, equipment for Class 1 Zone 1 areas — the areas closest to the drill site — needs to be explosion proof, making sure it will not cause an explosion in high risk areas. There are similar limitations on mobile devices since cellular radiation can also cause an explosion.
"If you are looking at a typical oil and gas plant, there will be between 300 to 500 cameras to monitor the perimeter and inner workings of the plant. In addition, there will be thermal cameras to monitor flames and detect leaks and specialty cameras for class and zone areas. In an ocean rig there are 16 to 20 explosion proof cameras and 40 to 50 standard cameras," said William Moore, Senior Account Manager for Pelco by Schneider Electric.
With so many cameras involved, it is impractical to monitor them all the time; therefore, the cameras are monitored based on an alert rule-engine. In case of an event, whether security or safety related, the proper camera will be triggered and brought to the attention of the operator.
The second line of defense: Video analyticsTypically, video analytics are most appropriate for outdoor and wide-area use, when it is impractical to place sensors (i.e. outdoors or in a warehouse with high ceilings). Common analytics in use are smoke and fire detection, leak detection, gas leak detection, flare-size monitoring, and slip and fall (used for employee safety). In addition, more security-oriented analytics such as perimeter protection and theft detection are also used.
Despite technology advances, video surveillance and video analytics alone cannot replace traditional fire detection systems. Usually both are implemented as standalone systems. Analytics are however beneficial for verification and supplying secondary visual inputs to an alert triggered by other sensors. For example, a combination of a thermal camera and a visible spectrum camera can give a better understanding of a situation. "We use the video analytics only as a second layer of detection and we do not trust it to be the first line of alarm. The reason is due to the day camera sensor's capabilities. Our first line of detection is the thermal vision sensor," explained Tomer Dadon, CEO of Ex-Sight. "The flame detector camera is normally packed inside the pan tilt video surveillance system. This system can connect directly to a video surveillance control center or a SCADA system." Flame detection analytics enables the user to continuously assess and monitor target sites in the range of a few kilometers. While scanning the target area, the system identifies when a designated preset reaches a threatening temperature threshold. Once a flame is identified, the camera uses multiple alarm mechanisms, including transmitting the fire's coordinates. The specialty of the system is its ability to distinguish between flame and smoke sources which are part of the industrial environment and those which pose security risks.
"We see a strong trend for coupling video analytics with thermal video surveillance cameras," said Laurent Assouly, Marketing Manager for Evitech. This combination enables a volume protection instead of line detection. Thermal cameras enable long range detection, such as 600 meters or one kilometer, while color cameras usually cannot see beyond 130 meters at night. Detection over color images would possibly raise more false alarms due to moving lights, flashing lights, etc., and would not reveal many details at the end of the fields of view at nighttime.
Video Analytics for Operations MonitoringVideo analytics can also be used for process monitoring and ensuring the facility is functioning properly. "We monitor pump jacks to detect any problems with their operation. By monitoring the cadence of the pump we can detect if it stops moving and alert the operators immediately," explained Michael Von-Hauff, CEO of Osprey Informatics. This makes analytics exceptionally useful for remote sites that are not manned permanently. Without this capability, a malfunction can sometimes be detected only after hours, or even days if the pump is located in a remote location, when a human inspector visits the site. Such a solution, therefore, saves lost production time and helps turn video into actionable intelligence. Video monitoring can also be used to audit employee behavior during alarms and other safety events — it allows the relevant officers to check if all employees are following the relevant procedures.
Connectivity and systems integrationA growing market trend is connectivity and systems integration. "There are thousands of land rigs, gated and sensed-in, the clients are asking for the possibility to integrate cameras and access control," explained Moore. "For example, we implemented such a solution in western Texas. A FOB key card swipe at the gate pops up the picture of the truck to the administrator." The system is also integrated with LPR cameras, cell phones, and iPads and is used for site management and monitoring site visits. "Another thing the customer is looking for is a common platform such as ONVIF," added Thomas Soderlund, Business Development Manager for EMEA at Bosch Security Systems. "With the old analog systems it was easy to pick any camera and plug it in and it would work due to the 1 volt peak-to-peak signals. With IP devices it is not always that easy since a new firmware or change of model mean additional programming of the main system is needed to be able to provide functionality."
SCADA IntegrationThere is a benefit in connecting different systems to the SCADA system. The benefit of an integrated system is to have one common interface for alarm handling and monitoring, compared to moving between multiple systems in order to then build up the picture of the event. In addition this integration can help in halting delivery and limiting a leak's consequences. However, most platforms need to use SDKs to integrate with the SCADA systems, which is often a costly and complex solution.
Avoiding false alarmsThere are several options to reduce false alarms. One is to install multiple different sensors for verification purposes. A second system for avoiding false alarms is to calibrate the system against an existing database of detections and false alarms. Tests can be performed using high pressure water cleaning tools, which deliver varying temperatures and pressures. These simulate various sorts of leaks in the different pipes (themselves at different temperatures). These tests can be used as a benchmark for the analytics and then need to be carried out at regular intervals to ensure the continuity of service of the solution. Artificial intelligence analytics check alerts and reduce false alarms by differentiating between real objects and other objects that might cause false alarms such as changes in lighting (e.g., a cloud passing over the sun or a light being switched off or on, long evening shadows, and bright lights pointed at the camera).
Not just video: Other senses take part Dedicated sensors and video analytics are not the only features used for leak detection — there is also an audio-based detection method. "In a southern Louisiana installation, the cameras have the audio option turned on and in the case of an alert the operator can listen to the pipe to hear if there is a high pitch whistle coming out, indicating gas is leaking from the pipe," described Moore. "This is already an automatic feature in the non-class and zone cameras. For class and zone areas it is more complicated due to technical reasons. The external microphone has to meet the safety criteria and not cause explosions." iOmniscient combines with its video analytics smell sensors that can detect gas leaks and audio analysis to identify sounds. "When combined with the analytics from video these systems can provide an enhanced understanding of what is happening in an environment," explained Dr. Rustom Kanga, CEO of iOmniscient.
Automated responseInformation integration from various sensors into one platform is usually described as PSIM (physical security information management). Kanga described a solution where the information is not only pulled together but is also responsible for automated response. "The system, without human intervention, will find the nearest appropriate first responder and provide him with detailed information," said Kanga. Relevant information can be pushed to the user's cell phone, turning the user's smartphone into a mobile control room. The user can use the phone to perform all the operations that he could have performed in a control room. However, the quality of the entire system depends on the quality of the core analytics. Automated responses reduce reaction time and as such are beneficial for both safety and security but also for operational efficiency — making sure malfunctions are treated fast.
Future trends As oil and gas exploration continuous to expand further to more difficult environments so will the demand for video surveillance systems. The future calls for durable and reliable systems, able to withstand harsh field conditions and connect with other systems that will be able to give operators more than just security and also optimize operations. The future will no doubt involve more and more integrated systems, making full use of technology for both safety and security.

Editor / Provider: Editorial Dept. | Updated: 12/4/2014 | Article type: Hot Topics
David Gottlieb, Director, Global Marketing Communications, Honeywell Security Group "The Connected Home is a great example where traditional security systems are now being used for non-security applications, like simple awareness and comfort control. One recently introduced Honeywell control panel can control everything from security to lighting, garage doors and more was one our most-important product launches this year in the Americas because it embodies that type of design; it features the ability to stream four IP camera feeds directly on a touchscreen and it can be controlled remotely from a Honeywell app."
Karl Erik Traberg, Head of Corporate Communications and Business Development at Milestone Systems. "Milestone sees the healthcare industry using video surveillance for patient monitoring, schools are using it for parents to be able to see how their children are doing in class and on the playground, universities are using it for student training and teacher evaluations, utilities are using it to monitor equipment and operations including solar and wind farms overseeing remote operations, retail is using it to track customer flow and product areas of interest for improving floor layouts accordingly."
Brian Matthews, VP of Global Marketing and Product Development, Video & Situation Intelligence Solutions, Verint Systems "A great example is in Verint's retail business. One of the world's top retailers, with more than 2,000 locations, is working with us to reduce fraud and create a smarter workforce. Working with the Verint intelligence solution to solve the challenges of fraud, risk and compliance, this retailer has deployed Verint security systems to use with their physical security cameras and enhance their ability to detect, investigate and reduce fraud brought on by employee theft. The solution blends Verint's video management software integrated with their point-of-sale and exception reporting system. It allows them to identify fraudulent employee activity and take action, reducing loss and improving the bottom line. Since implementing the solution, the customer has seen loss due to employee theft drop dramatically, while making their investigators more efficient in their daily tasks by proactively prioritizing issues to investigate. Reducing loss improves the profitability of the retailer and helps keep prices down, which increases customer satisfaction."
Erika Gorge, Corporate Communications Manager, Bosch Security Systems"There are new developments within fire detection technology: With the use of video cameras for fire detection, we will be able to combine our expertise in both technologies in the future. These systems will open up new opportunities for special applications where conventional detection technologies have reached their limits. Examples of this are difficult ambient conditions, such as in tunnels, specialized production facilities or warehouses."
Arjan Bouter, Head of Sales, Nedap Security Management "With Nedap security management systems, users can channel signals from the different systems into it -- from cameras, dirty water pumps, air conditioning - you can link everything. At Ziggo Dome, the largest Dutch Music Centre, for example, the security and facility managers wanted to be able to set up links to other building systems in the future, such as the heating system, the air conditioning system, the beer cooling system and, something that is very important here, the lockers for visitors. So we were actually looking for something that offered building management system functionality."
Bernhard Sommer, CEO, SimonsVoss Technologies"One of our latest door monitoring cylinders not only offers the customer access control functionality but also a complete overview of the status and events of doors and accesses. We have a case that the aim for installing the door monitoring cylinders in cold storage rooms is to prevent wastage of unnecessary energy. This has nothing to do with safety, yet it affords the customer very high cost savings."
The Secrets behind the Growth
Garrett Li, Manager of Product Marketing, DynaColor Our sales keep finding new OEM opportunity in EMEA, US, and APEC and current customers get larger demand in local markets or more projects in their countries in 2014. This helps us increase our revenue gradually. Customers nowadays would like to select two suppliers to cover their middle to high and entry level products. DynaColor has product lines from Full HD Small and Medium Business Cameras to 4K real-time IP Camera/3M real-time IP Speed Dome and this might be reason kept DynaColor stay in their supplier candidate list.

Hagai Katz, Senior VP, Marketing and Business Development, Magal S3 This year, Magal S3 marked two important milestones; first, Magal S3 introduced automation into the perimeter security market by launching a robot. The robot is ideal for remotely monitored unmanned sites and critical sites such as airports, seaports, military bases and prisons, where a timely first response by manned guards would may be impractical or expensive. In the same year, Magal also developed another business line in cyber security, focused in security networks, via the acquisition of CyberSeal.
Security 50 sets trends for 2015: tailored solutions for applications
Editor / Provider: Editorial Dept. | Updated: 12/3/2014 | Article type: Hot Topics
a&s talked to the winners of Security 50 for 2014 to discuss what's really tending for 2015. These companies shared their latest strategies and predicted how the security industry would grow in the following years.
Migration from Device to Systems
Johan Paulsson, CTO, Axis Communications "Axis Communications also see this trend towards solutions. We have broadened our offering for small and medium-sized installations. Axis network cameras and software can now be offered as an overall solution adapted to end user needs. For an overall solution for mid-sized installations, for example in school environments and in the retail segment, Axis recently launched video recorders. The recorder includes three different server solutions, which are pre-installed with management software and configured to seamlessly match Axis' wide range of network cameras."
"Also, the physical access control market is well-suited to Axis' long-term growth strategy. The investment is part of our ambition to broaden the global offering in security solutions and advance cooperation with partners around the world. The solution is offered in the USA and Europe through Axis' well-established network of distributors and partners."
Matt Bretoi,VP, North America Field Sales, FLIR Systems "Systems/solutions are an important element to our roadmap. FLIR has been investing significantly into a cloud-based service that brings all of our products together into a powerful management and search tool. This is not the only example though. We constantly evaluate how we can bring more value to our largest verticals, whether through internal resources or our partners. A simple example that we have used for years: a fixed thermal imager is a great 24/7 surveillance tool, but coupled with intelligent analytics it is a powerful pro-active security tool that greatly increases the customer's return on investment. We continue to look for ways on how we can build upon that solution."
Steve Ma, Executive VP, VIVOTEK"For the box moving business, the trend is going toward solutions type of business. In the past, there were many different vendors in the market, such as camera manufacturers, VMS providers, and systems integrators. However, since the margin has been squeezed, there is no room for multiple vendors. So, the trend is that we need to build total solutions for customers. It should be easy to use, have lower total cost of ownership, be very easy to install and very easy to maintain. That is what we are planning right now—we have cameras, we have software, NVRs, and PoE switches, so that installers can by a total system from us."
Bernhard Sommer, CEO, SimonsVoss Technologies "SimonsVoss has launched a new digital access management system in building solutions. With this, we consequently pursue solution integration and cooperation with partners in access control. We will open up entirely new customer groups that have long wished to have SimonsVoss as a lock system with all of its strengths. The configuration of the system has been kept extremely simple, e.g. with self-configuring online routers to establish the optimum network. For installation, this is extremely simple and reduces costs. By providing this new system, SimonsVoss will enter SOHO users market. These solutions are expendable to high end systems and will grow with the users need."
Integrated Systems, Well-designed for Applications
David Gottlieb, Director, Global Marketing Communications, Honeywell Security Group "Within the last year, we've increased compatibility between two systems, enabling higher-end commercial end-users to have access to a technology that's used to support critical infrastructure sites – places like military bases, government installations, etc. – around the world. So the same type of high-tech system you see protecting a military base can now be used to protect large commercial sites like shopping malls, airports, and such. One of our security management systems can integrate intrusion, video and access systems, and this year we added more support for wireless locks to allow for users to protect more doors. For another Honeywell integrated solution, we also added new compact surveillance radar capabilities that will allow sites to detect intruders along perimeters when traditional ground surveillance radar systems are not practical."
Brian Song, MD, IDIS Europe "There's no single vendor out there offering best of breed across all disciplines including intruder, fire, access, surveillance, etc. Most corporate enterprises have a complex jumble of disparate and proprietary systems and that cause gaps in security. A control room with alarms and alerts from multiple disparate systems can result in alarms simply being ignored, through to chaos as operators jump from screen to screen as they try, and often fail, to verify each alarm."
"To address these challenges, IDIS recently announced the integration with Maxxess eFusion (event management), SureView (alarm monitoring) and Lenel (access control management) particularly addressing the corporate enterprise market. These integrations delivers IDIS DirectIP video surveillance functionality through single security management platforms to enhance resilience through event and video correlation to increase operator effectiveness and in turn streamline operations to reduce cost. It also helps those customers integrate their legacy CCTV and develop an easy migration path rather than needing to rip and replace everything immediately."
Karl Erik Traberg, Head of Corporate Communications and Business Development at Milestone Systems. "Milestone open platform integrations with third-party solution partners constantly bring new innovations for more vertical or expanded market needs. For example, Milestone's video management software integrates GuardTrax mobile video alerts for roving officers, SICK and Optex laser scanners for critical perimeter protection and challenging physical barrier requirements, and Inovonics panic button interoperability for emergency communication."
Prophecy from Security 50: Time for Integrated Systems!
Editor / Provider: Jill Lai, a&s International | Updated: 12/5/2014 | Article type: Hot Topics
Time for Integrated Systems In the video surveillance product sector of Security 50 rankings, company performance is strongly correlated with its overall product strategy. If we divide the video surveillance companies by their tendency to develop systems versus single devices, the average revenue growth and profit growth of these groups were found to be different. Overall video surveillance companies grew 9.2 percent on average. Companies developing systems grew 14.4 percent, 5.2 percent more than those that only develop devices. In addition, the average profit growth for overall video surveillance is 38.9 percent. System developers grew 14 percent versus negative 2.2 percent in the device part. Gross margin of some companies, from the device part, barely kept single-digital growth.
To stay profitable and competitive in the market, offering devices only is not enough. Successful suppliers provide systems suitable for different types of projects. IP video surveillance systems, for instance, are well designed for solutions in different applications and vertical sectors. Most importantly, they are well tested and configured and ready to be integrated into a management platform, which saves a lot of headache and troubles for systems integrators and installers. On the other hand, for some small to medium-sized companies, the capability to tailor-make certain unique features in systems for different projects are also required.
Developing integrated systems, which are ready to use for different projects, is not only a buzzword but also exactly what is happening right now for the most profitable companies in security. Keen Yao, International Marketing Director of Hikvision Digital Technology pointed out, "Almost all the big suppliers give total solutions. Hikvision, we also are a total solution provider. Our R&D resources make Hikvision very powerful in different vertical markets. We have seven vertical markets — we call them Seven Stars. For different vertical markets we have different solutions that combine almost all security functions, including access control, alarm systems, surveillance systems. So this is Hikvision's strategy."
Tim Shen, Marketing Director for Overseas Business Center at Dahua Technology continued, adding, "We are also in the transition stage from device to solutions development. Dahua is one of the few companies which are able to develop solutions in China. To develop solutions, it requires not only a complete wide range of product portfolios but also takes higher level of profound know-how to bring them together for a better integration purpose. Dahua has proven to do several large projects in bank, city surveillance, transportation and commercial sector not only in China but also overseas. We are able to transfer our know-how in China to provide suitable products for solutions in overseas market."
Taiwanese and Korean Companies Prepare for Their Next Leap From Security 50 reports over the past few years, major Taiwanese and Korean companies continue to be in recession, which has lingered a little bit longer than expected. It is never easy to transform from a device supplier to a systems or solution provider and even harder to change the corporate focus from OEM business to branding. However, the rising of Chinese companies has forced these companies to differentiate themselves. IDIS, a leading video surveillance company in Korea, is one of the most significant ones that have started to promote its own brand business in Europe since two years ago. Even though the outcome for its brand business has not been confirmed yet, the company seems to be headed in the right direction, developing positively in the future.
Some of the traditional, analog-based Taiwanese companies might take a little while to take off; however, the IP/IT-based companies, such as VIVOTEK and GeoVision, have maintained steady growth over the years and are active in the market. We predict that in the near future, there will be more corporate consolidation among Asian companies.
The security market is still full of opportunities. Some small to medium-sized Taiwanese and Korean companies are striving to find their own "blue ocean," to differentiate themselves from Chinese companies. EverFocus also provided a good example here. The company is ready to demonstrate its capacity to develop an integrated security system to its clients, too. Even though it has gone through obstacles, the company has started to receive some positive outcomes. Jemmy Huang, Chairman & President of EverFocus Electronics also shared, "Now, customer's demand for security products has become much more diverse. They expect the system to integrate with more devices and realize multiple purposes. For example, the customers might have some special requirements for the synergy between video surveillance systems and elevators whenever an emergency happens in the building. " Therefore, "we've transformed to be a solution provider, our open-platform central management system is well designed to integrate with a wide range of systems and extremely scalable for future expansion. With this system, we can make sure systems integrators have no further problems in product integration to meet customization requirements perfectly and ensure their projects can well be completed."
Looking to 2014 & 2015 Looking into the financial reports for the first half for 2014, the companies which are more likely to continue growing significantly both in 2013 and 2014 are Avigilon, Dahua, Hikvision, ITX, and Tamron. These five companies were ranked in the top 10 companies with the highest revenue growth. However, out of the 29 companies, who shared their financial figures in the first half of 2014, the average growth rate fell to 2.8 percent. Twelve companies are in recession. Korean and Taiwanese companies have experienced even bigger challenges in the first half of 2014, which can be obviously found in their reports.
Cross referencing profit growth and gross margin of these 29 companies in the first half of 2014, it is also confirmed that the companies that have developed fully integrated systems outperformed the ones which develop only devices, again. When we look into 2014 and 2015, we predict that the trend to develop solutions for verticals/applications will be much more obvious.

This sounds most interesting! I think many would appreciate it if you would post your lecture here.
I heard a local imam speaking here at my campus a couple of years ago, and I asked him whether a Muslim could believe evolutionary theory. His answer was, first, that "A Muslim can believe anything!" This struck me as, oh, a tad disingenuous. He then proceeded to assure us that he, personally, did not accept that humans are related to apes. Is this a common approach among Muslim apologists-to announce a faux liberalism and, in the same breath, a vehement rejection?

30 Minutes to a Brighter Smile?
The new Go Smile Smile Whitening Light promises to lighten teeth up to six shades after just one 30-minute session. But does it really work? The Good Housekeeping Research Institute investigates.
By The Good Housekeeping Institute
Special Offers
The handheld light for the Go Smile Smile Whitening Light ($198, gosmile.com) comes with ampoules of a hydrogen peroxide-based serum that's applied to teeth; the light then activates the whitening agent.
To evaluate the claim, Good Housekeeping Research Institute experts recorded the shade of volunteers' teeth before sending them home with the Smile Whitening Light and instructions. The next day, volunteers returned to the lab for another tooth-shade evaluation.
The verdict: The device lightened teeth an average of 1.6 shades. As with all whitening treatments, the greater the tooth discoloration, the more pronounced the results one tester's teeth lightened five shades. And while some volunteers didn't like having to hold the light, at least half were satisfied with the degree and speed of whitening. As one tester noted, "I liked the results and that it was all done in 30 minutes, versus a product you have to use daily for weeks."

Psychiatry goes insane: Every human emotion now classified as a mental disorder in new psychiatric manual DSM-5Submitted by emalvini on Fri, 12/14/2012 - 09:45
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews.com
(NaturalNews) The industry of modern psychiatry has officially gone insane. Virtually every emotion experienced by a human being -- sadness, grief, anxiety, frustration, impatience, excitement -- is now being classified as a "mental disorder" demanding chemical treatment (with prescription medications, of course).
The new, upcoming DSM-5 "psychiatry bible," expected to be released in a few months, has transformed itself from a medical reference manual to a testament to the insanity of the industry itself.
"Mental disorders" named in the DSM-5 include "General Anxiety Disorder" or GAD for short. GAD can be diagnosed in a person who feels a little anxious doing something like, say, talking to a psychiatrist. Thus, the mere act of a psychiatrist engaging in the possibility of making a diagnoses causes the "symptoms" of that diagnoses to magically appear.

Making a Killing...
The despicable behavior of psychiatry...
Psychiatry is Quackery
FACT: Not one Psychiatrist has ever, ever, ever CURED one patient in history. They are all just drug pushers, looking for lifelong customers and making them dependent on psychotropic drugs.
There is honor in psychology through, helping people deal with emotions WITHOUT DANGEROUS DRUGS.
Sorry you have such an intolerant opinion of drugs
I happen to think there is an important role for pharmaceuticals in mental health. It depends on the patient and the situation.
Let me guess - you're a drug rep?
There is no lab work to be done to prove the "imbalances" they claim exist, and no lab work to be done to prove the drugs restore balance. It is all marketing, and malpractice by actual medical standards.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.
We didn't know the mechanism of Aspirin
for the first 50+ years of its existence. It doesn't mean we didn't know that it relieved pain, just as we know the anti-depressants reverse depression, and the anti-psychotics treat schizophrenia, et cetera.
I am not a drug-pusher, though I openly promote the use of psychotropics, both for medicine and recreation.
"Delysid" is the trade name of LSD.
The natural health culture loves to get high and mighty about psychotropics, but not everyone who disagrees with you is some Evil Big Pharma Doctor and Shill for the government. That cartoon version only exists in the mind of Mike Adams and his pseudoscience disciples
When we learned aspirin had an anticoagulant effect
we stopped giving it to hemophiliacs. Giving SSRIs to depressed people is malpractice.
Clinical research in the current paradigm is bunk - and I used to do clinical research for pharma.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.
Yes I know we have talked about this before
You said you became suicidal while taking a certain anti-depressant, and I countered that an anti-depressant helped saved the life of one of my family members and helped me through a tough period.
Neither one of us is wrong.
Giving SSRIs to depressed people is not malpractice per se, but giving an anti-depressant to a patient without closely monitoring their reaction to the drug and progress is. There is a big difference.
Promote psychotropics?
Has it escaped your notice of all the suicide warnings that are plastered on anti-depressant adverts? Why, on earth, would you promote such a dangerous, unproven load of rubbish?
The pharmaceutical industry is the greatest quackery of all. Hands down. Chat over.
They do not treat underlying causes. Only mask symptoms. And often, their remedies are destructive and deadly.
Anyone approving of such barbaric hackery is being intellectually dishonest.
I see you like strawmen.
Did I say I support the irresponsible use of anti-depressants? Did I say I promote giving someone an anti-depressant and turning them loose on the world and declaring them cured?
And all pharmaceuticals are a quack, huh? If you truly have this extreme of a position, I don't think there is any point in even debating with you.
Every drug and every treatment, without exception, has negative side effects. This includes alternative treatments, "natural" treatments, and doing nothing.
Get off your high horse please and stop pretending we live in a black and white cartoon world where medicine is one extreme or the other.
I voted you up..
..only because you are expressing an opinion that was rewarded with 'no' votes.
I don't think you deserve a bunch of 'no' votes for having a well presented counter-view.
Watch "The Marketing Of Madness."
Psychiatry is the crowning glory of Orwellian-think. They are totally insane. It would not be so bad if they did SOME good, but they do not even offer things like "grief counseling" any more, just pills with deadly side effects.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.

Is she ever in for a surprise.
First Mom announces that she's dating Mia's Algebra teacher. Then Dad has to go and reveal that he is the crown prince of Genovia. And guess who still doesn't have a date for the Cultural Diversity Dance?

Let's get straight to the point: any beliefs about Twista being all dressing and little main course (see his last track Make a Movie) should be completely dead after listening to The Heat, a cut off the Chi-Town spitter's upcoming album The Perfect Storm. Unlike the smorgasbord that was Kanye West's See Me Now, all of the ingredients in Heat, from the blues rock production by No I.D. and The Legendary Traxster to the feature by The Chef work to steam cooked perfection. Raekwon continues the streak he started the moment OB4CL2 dropped last September, by making sure his guest verse is peppered with odes to Chicago gangsters and his own impeccable sense of being above all other emcees. However, there's no doubt that this joint belongs to the Chicago fire breather as his complex wordplay (see, the man does have lyrics) in the first verse both declares his rap immortality and segues perfectly into Raekwon's 16. If it contains more music like The Heat, maybe Twista should rename his album The Perfect Meal by the time it drops on October 26.

Caravan Stalling
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man
Hi Bob,
I'm having a problem on the Caravan. I never know when it will stall on me. It will re-start after a while and run well but it will still stall at the most unpredictable time. The mechanics who have worked on the van says its the SMEC (computer); others say it is the sensors. They have performed a major tune-up, but still cannot detect the problem. Can you help me?
Does the check engine light ever come on? Are there any codes set? What is your fuel pressure? When was the last time you had a fuel injector cleaning? At what conditions does it stall? At idle, at curise speed, in reverse?? I need more information. If the problem is at idle, then try disconnecting the battery for 24 hours. Then reconnect it and idle for 15-20 minutes. This will force the computer to "re-learn" how to idle. IF this does not work, then the computer might be bad or the IAC (idle air control valve).
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

HI! My gggrandmother was Maria/Mary Ficke
who came from Germany and went directly to
Cincinatti, Ohio. 5 months later she married
George Seitz/Sites. Their first child was
my ggrandmother Emma G. Sites, born Ohio,
and next had David George Sites born in Knox
County Missouri. GGrandmother came west to
North Dakota with her husband, so did her
brother David George and they homesteaded in
Emmons County North Dakota. They left 2
little sisters and their mother in Knox
County Missouri. I am trying to see what
became of them - because I know lots about
the families that came west. Keep in touch
maybe we can sort it all out!

The ZEISS ZF.2 with F bayonet for digital SLRs. Thanks to its electronic interface (CPU), these new ZEISS lenses support all-important operations such as the automatic exposure for shutter priority, aperture priority and program modes. The CPU also supports manual exposure settings, including those for camera casings that are not AI-compatible. Since the lens now transmits the EXIF data such as manufacturer, date, metering system and exposure settings, photographers no longer need to set the parameters manually. These quicker and faster handling capabilities of the ZF.2 lenses are especially useful under hectic shooting conditions.
ZEISS lenses truly come into their own in situations that demand extreme photographic creativity and maximum image quality. Carl Zeiss' fixed focal length lenses are known for their high light sensitivity and precise manual handling, leaving the photographer in full control. The new ZF.2 series will be especially interesting for photo enthusiasts who value creative, high-quality images combined with the comfort of automatic settings.
