What are your proven techniques for fighting depression?
Martin Seligman is the father of Positive Psychology is also the person who coined the phrase "learned helplessness'. His new book 'Flourish' is full of information for improving well being.
One of his proven therapies is the following:
Each night before bed write down three things that went well that day. After you write each, add a brief reason for why it went well and what that particular positive experience meant to you.
Who will try to do this each night for a month? Proven clinical studies indicate that those who try this practice can dramatically decrease their feelings of depression and enjoy a greater sense of well being. (It might be more permanent and more effective than either drugs or therapy!) Let's see if we can raise the well being level of TEDsters!
Aug 7 2011: Praying would be my answer.I found that being in an environment that I desire helps a lot.I suck all the positive energy out there into my body when I pray.Praying gives me the time to relax and the space I need in order to think straight.For non-religious TEDsters, I would suggest meditation.It doesn't take long.Just 5 minutes will do.Trust me, it works like a miracle!

Aug 7 2011: Yeah. The first technique also works for me.Aug 10 2011: I lost my faith during the past couple of years. But still pray sometimes just because it still feels good.

Debra would you like to pray. ?
Aug 11 2011: Very interesting because we share some similarities regarding prayers.Muslims believe in pray and afterwards work as well.Truly interesting.Thanks for sharing it with me.

Aug 16 2011: Here is an interesting turn of events!

Two TEDdies (my nickname for some of the TEDsters that I have come to love and adore) contacted me directly and told me that they were praying very specifically for me. I have an aunt who just received a kidney transplant and her body was rejecting it. I was preparing to fly out to Vancouver to donate one of mine. One day after my prayer people told me specifically that they were praying for me she had an astounding turn around. The kidney started to function and her creatin level dropped by a hundred points. They are releasing her from the hospital soon.
Co-incidence or answered prayer? I tell you this much: I am delighted and grateful.Aug 11 2011: Dear Luigi and Muhammad,
I grew up with a father who was an atheist who was pretty hostile to any concept of God or practice of faith. I also had a Catholic grandmother who defied him and had me baptized as a baby. I discovered a faith as an adult and dove head first into it. It was a thing of great beauty for me. The politics of religion were, however, extremely ugly, and faith destroying. There were times when I waivered between being convinced and being certain that I was deluding myself. I had the faith of a child and unfortunately I was rocked by traumas in my life. No matter what though, I too throw prayers heavenward, in the hope that they are heard.
Luigi Vampa
Aug 11 2011: Dear Debra our personal history about faith and belief is just a past.

The eternal life has no time, so the present is the only valid time to express ourselves in harmony with spirituality. Spirituallity is the same in any religion.
Religions and beliefs are not faith and faith has nothing to do with spirituality.
It doesnt matter if you loose or regain your faith, or religion, but the main thing is your spirit.
Where can be hide your fears, your injurys, your looses when the real dimension of yourself is enlighted with the flames of the Spirit.?Aug 12 2011: Dear Debra, no matter what happens, God is always there with you.So, do pray and Insya-Allah, they will be heard.God loves everyone regardless of their past.Have a nice day.
Mariam Sambe
Aug 10 2011: Praying or meditating: definitely YES. If not possible, then avoiding things that anger you (ex: you don't like your job, try to find another one. You don't like your neighborhood, try to move. You don't like the relationship you're in, try to make it better, and if impossible, get out of it, etc… So, in other words: do the things you love and be near things you like: you'll never be depressed. But yes, sometimes life hits you with unfortunate events; that's when praying, meditating, friends, family come in :-)

Aug 11 2011: I agree with you! do what is needed to be done to avoid anger and stress!
Michael M
Aug 11 2011: I finally had to say something on this one. As one who sometimes struggles with it, prayer is a good way. I have told a wonderful friend about my praying that I scream, sometimes he listens. But even in the screams, wonderful things seem to happen, unexpected wonderful things. Thanks Muhammad...and you too Luigi.

Thanks Debra for asking.
Leila Oicles
Aug 17 2011: (Continued from previous post) The most powerful exercise I had done during that time, when I began to see hope (maybe not feel it fully, but see it) I wrote a letter to me from God. I know that some may think it blasphamous to think I could speak in his name, but it was my own personal prayer and seeking to understand. To me God is unconditional love, so I began to write to me as if I was watched over and LOVED unconditionally. I tear up thinking of it now, for it was the best therapy I could have ever had. It was the first time I truly felt loved in a very long time. Loved for who I was no matter how imperfect I was. It was like my soul was getting the best hug it could ever have.

The experience changed me. I did not overcome my hardships over night, but I was well on my way, and I was stronger. I am not afraid, and if I do get a panic attack, which is once in a great while. I deal with it, and move on. I don't allow myself to get back into the depths. I have a belief that no matter what happens, I know that in the grand scheme of it all, I am OK and all is well.
To me, I don't see it as fighting depression, for fighting is exhaustive. I suppose in order to overcome, I had to stop fighting and pushing against, and rather refocus in the closest direction that provides relief. Always remaining true and authentic to what I feel instead of what others think is best or right. I can't say it is what will work for everyone, but it was best for me.

Oh I hope I didn't sound as if I have never met anyone that expessed humility or spiritual love. I most certainly have. I think perhaps in moments even some of the most ego driven could feel it or express it. Some more often than others :) I suppose I was thinking of humility in its pure form, and unconditional love is another, I feel is only an attribute of God in its pure form. I think more on the mirror analogy from the previous converstion you commented on. That we can reflect this, but our mirrors our not always the cleanest...it can still reflect, but often not in its purest form.
Of course this is just my view, doesn't make it the purest form of truth! :)
Leila Oicles
Aug 20 2011: Hi Kate,

Replying to your mirror/window question. If we want to get a bit deep here in this analogy, well, I am all for it! The way i see it is that bodies are temporary, all the organs, brain etc. I see us more like a radio in which we pick up frequencies ect. The soul is eternal and non physical. The soul is of more pure form, as the physical is more limitied and designed that way. We are filters, but not pure filters, because our language and perception is so limited in comparison to the ultimate Love, and Truth and Unconditional Love. I don't think any human has the intelligence or capacity to understand the grand scheme of it all the way our souls can. I also believe our souls could not fully know God either, but are closer than we understand in our limited physical existence. God, i feel, is the All.
Now the beauty of physical existence, is that we have polar opposites, a way in which to understand Love. If all we knew and all we were was Love, then we wouldn't appreciate it if we didn't know that which is fear or anger or hurt, etc. So I suppose I see it as using our minds, thoughts, actions as a way of either polishing or allowing build up on our mirrors. God is always shining on everyone, even one who's mirror is so dirty that it cannot reflect his light, but God still shines ready fo rwhen a person chooses to clean ones own mirror. He loves all his chilren, it is we that chooses to allow the Love, or only some of it, or barely at all. Mirrors can still be dirty and reflect, maybe a bit distorted, but there is still warmth of love and light visable.
I remember listening to Ester Hicks, or Abraham-Hicks as she is often referred to, and she came closest to what feels right to me about our relationship with God, or "Souce" as she calls it. She says there only exists a stream of well being, and we can chose to flow with the stream or peddle upstream. That our emotions are our guidance systems telling us when we are on or off track.Aug 17 2011: Thanks Leila. A very interesting thing that letter from God to you.Aug 17 2011: Leila, Thanks for sharing this powerful message. I agree with your point that we cannot "fight" depression. It is when we stop fighting and focus on becoming our authentic self that we are able to move through depression.Aug 18 2011: Thanks Leila for this first hand account of descent and then ascendence! I appreciate your input.Aug 19 2011: Thank you Leila for sharing the story about your journey. I have also found that struggling and fighting against anything is exhausting, and does not lead to contentment in ourselves. Recognizing all of our emotions, and finding our own authentic balance helps to move us through challenging life experiences.

Aug 9 2011: Kate,
Very wise suggestions:>) It's important to know what we are putting in the body and how it impacts our physical and mental health. While some things like coffee and alcohol have sedating properties, they also have stimulants. It may appear that alcohol "relaxes", a person, and it also has stimulants that kick in later, interfereing with sleep. Good sleep patterns are important for physical and mental well-being, as you mention:>) The body recharges/re-energizes during sleep, so if we are not sleeping well, we deprive the body/mind of that opportunity.
Depression often is a self-consuming downword spiral. We feel bad, so it causes us to be inactive. Our focus on our "depression" may cause us to eat and drink foods/beverages, and take medications that cause more imbalance with our health...then we feel worse...more inactivity...more self-consuming practices...on and on. All it takes sometimes, is one little choice that will break that cycle, and you've offered some good choices Kate...one step at a time:>)
Comment deleted
Aug 9 2011: I agree Kate that ultimately, we are responsible for our own actions and state of mind, and for each of us, there may be very different ways to move out of sadness.
Rest assured, I have had the opportunity to call myself "depressed", and I have made the choice to move out of the sadness that caused that feeling. Although sadness is a valuable tool to help us know our "self", I did not/do not choose to stay with, or focus on the feeling of sadness, and I do not use the word "depressed" for myself, because of the power we have given the word and the feeling in our society.
I really believe, that on a deeper level, people KNOW they are giving up the choice for contentment in their lives, and they do not know how to interrupt that cycle, which causes more depression than we need to have in our society.
Here's a practical example:
Today I have a head ache, which I often have because of a near fatal head injury years ago. I also have pain in the back, caused by degenerative disc disease, which was diagnosed 30 years ago. I have the choice to lay in bed all day and take medications...or...do something else.
I'm going biking with friends...spending time with people I care about...exercising...laughing...and soaking up the sun, which is energizing:>)
Usually, the head ache and back pain take a back seat:>)
Comment deleted
Aug 9 2011: Hi Kate,
"Knowing ourselves" is such an important part of life:>)
Although I feel that medications are way over used in our culture, I also believe they are very valuable tools when used appropriately and in conjunction with other methods and practices, some of which you and others have shared in these comments:>)

Aug 8 2011: Call a good friend.

Aug 8 2011: Call me any time Helen!
Aug 8 2011: Debra .........you are so kind..Thank you for being my friend. I just mite take you up on that.Aug 14 2011: walk preferably somewwhere pretty but the treadmill with you best tunes filling your ears , or swim, just a little every day. I have stopped my meds by dong this.Aug 14 2011: Maybe a repetition of what has been said... And I blatantly copy what Johnathan Haidt sais about it:
- medication
- meditation
- cognitive behavioral therapy
those are the scientifically proven things that can help (fight) depression.
As for preventing depression... I don't really know for sure, but I would suggest:
- avoid big changes in life (they are stress-full and can trigger depression)
- learn coping strategies (like meditation or thought-patterns, acceptance, Zimbardo-advise on time orientation, don't expect too much,...)
- avoid depressed people (tend to have an emotional contamination effect; is documented in burn-out, not sure about depression)
- check your genetic sensitivity for depression
- get contingency on life (locus of control = you)
- attach yourself to significant othersAug 11 2011: Can't I just drink a bottle of red wine and masturbate?
But seriously, when it comes to depression, I think a big part of the problem is we feel there is something wrong with it. I think a big problem is we carry unrealistic expectations, and when those expectations fail to be met, we can get depressed. It's been demonstrated that people tend to have overly optimistic viewpoints about the likely outcomes of situations.
So I suppose in summation, that rather than forcibly look on the bright side, I might be better served to practice tempering my expectations, and learning to take joy in the things I do have. When I last checked, I'm in the top 5% of living standards globally, so I really don't have much to complain about personally.Aug 10 2011: Take a pause, consider what you enjoy or once enjoyed and what your goals are. Make a reality check and change goals and habits that not are aligned with reality or what you enjoy. Take time to do what you like, and engage fullheartedly in that which you enjoy and that which feels purposful. Finally accept that it may hurt like hell for a while.

I agree that acceptance is a big part of the process.
This has helped me over and over again in my quest for "flow" in my life.
"Grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference"
I observe that sometimes people are depressed about something they cannot change, or something that feels overwhelming. It's important to know our "self" enough to be able to figure out what we have the power to change...or not. There is no point in spending our energy struggling with something that we cannot change.
This is where your good ideas of considering what we enjoy...determine our goals...reality check...change goals and habits...take time to evaluate ourseves and be fully engaged in the choices we make comes into play. We may not be able to change the circumstances that seem to cause the depression, but we CAN change our perception of the circumstances.Aug 8 2011: What Martin Selgman is suggesting is how we educate our children already. As children, we are asked to write about or draw about what do we plan on doing this weekend, holiday, or day for "fun" and/or "happiness" (I quote them because the words are not exact but similar).
There is a fundamental flaw here, it could dictate someone living life in a "rut" and make them even more depressed. The reason is fuzzy; consider you had just an awful day, everything that went wrong, went worse. You write down the 3 things that were good for that day, what if the next day you wrote the same three? Never mind that, what if you can't find good things besides "a lot of green lights" and/or "free lunch".
If the cycle of thinking contains negative emotions (Ex: terrible boss), any thought relative towards working will be negative. Emotions control our thinking too often to not be educated about them. They can be the reason we are delusional or the reason we are on top of the world.
What I am selling here is simple; change constantly.
A healthy person(ality) is one that is an adaptable, enlightened, and wise. Wisdom is the ability to understand others, enlightenment is self awareness, and adaptability is environmental awareness. Try to achieve total awareness in reality and you will be happy with what you have more often.
In fact, you should be happy you can read my comment, because you probably have "more" than a large percentage of the world.
Depression is a fictitious diagnosis for those who practice psychology without neurology.
You can't be an unhappy person if the environments you are in are stimulating your intelligence as well as your emotions. If you are in a place (self and environment) where only emotions matter and not improving oneself to be better (by self standards) in the now and future... You are not in a good place right now. You are probably "depressed" (If it is a physical "place" - e-mail me).
Want to be "happy"? Just be "happy" then, put yourself there.
Aug 8 2011: Nicholas you know that I adore you and I think you are most often correct but in this instance you remind me of the man who asserted that there is no such thing as a head ache because he had never had one. With the astounding rate of suicide especially among the young, there is something called depression and it has a neurological foundation. Pretending ito be happy s not the solution.
Research indicates that it is getting worse in almost every developed country and people feel that their lives have little or no meaning. Drugs are rewiring the brains and therapy is minimally effective but not a cure. What I do agree with is that we need to find ways to reconnect and to find meaning and Seligman agrees with this.
The simple exercise that I have suggested is a way to help people reconnect with what is
working' in their lives and with what is meaningful.
Aug 8 2011: I often feel depressed Debra. Trust me, negative emotions affect me often, but in no way is this a genuine concern. Then concern should be more towards HOW are we are educating and not the result. I am well aware that the third cause of death in America for youth is suicide and I balme two major centers of information. Parents and education curriculums.
The reason it is "increasing" is because prior to recent times doctors weren't diagnosing "depression" because it is NORMAL. people get depressed! Change it up! Try something new! Meet someone new! Move! CHANGE!!!!!!
I find the reason kids are killing themselves is because we educate them to be "liked" by OTHERS and NOT by SELF. Follow the leader and be creative, DO NOT be the creative leader...
I blame our education for kids killing themselves, and parents.
Aug 8 2011: You always have well considered opinions. I agree that the educational system is letting kids down. We both care about that. I am also worried that our brains are being effected in untold ways by poor nutrition and by polution.
do you think that trying the idea I have suggested could be harmful?Aug 8 2011: The American culture/system is paradigm like no other in which is creating consumer zombies....
Education teaches you to be academic which means you are right or wrong... WHICH IS NOT REALITY! Academics is no where near the right type of education needed today.
Public entertainment teaches you "pop culture" or a subculture televised.... Jersey Shore wannabees or shaggy stoners are of the most popular choices among my college peers....
Vicious cycles of ignorance runs through the American public making little kids learn about sex and drugs younger and younger... while 30 - 40 year olds try acting 20 again...
What I think people should do when they are sad is do what makes them happy.. but even this causes a problem because you do not know all the things that will make you happen unless you experiment with life. Alcohol is the most dangerous drug in the world, and that is a proven fact.
Depressed? Look at what you have... do you have a car? do you have a television? do you have time to visit friends? well then you are more RICH than a majority of the world and your depression is superficial and irrelevant.
The children of west Africa do not have time to be depressed they have to work and feed their brothers and sisters as soon as they can work... they find peace in a good nights sleep and an extra serving a food.
Those in first world countries being diagnosis with "depression" are selfish.
What you suggest here Debra, should be one of the many things we should traditionalize into education systems as a self reflection practice. Self, others and environment... If you are unaware of any of them... you are a sucker. Sorry to rant.

I love to read your insights. I do feel though that many people are so embedded in the system and so stuck that they cannot see the road through or out. That are emprisoned and everyone around them is imprisoned so that depression is the only response to their learned helplessness.
Perspective is hard to come by when you have made yourself a part of a system - and it is unwelcome. Yes, many are consumer zombies- that's what comes of allowing a whole generation or two of people to be manipulated by marketing practices to the detriment of the whole country. Those generations were taught that selfishness is the only way.
One of the things that utterly shocked me when I first joined TED was that people did not even know the definition of selfishness- when I posted it - some were shocked- they thought it was a positive attribute- even Tim Colgan (whom I miss!) was unaware of the definition.
When people believe that they are supposed to be selfish- no wonder life loses its lustre!Aug 9 2011: Hi Nicholas:>)
"What I think people should do when they are sad, is do what makes them happy"...good point! You go on with more good points! How do we know what causes happiness and contentment in our lives if we don't explore life?
Much of what you've said in your posts, seems to suggest the idea that we become dependant on something or someone else to "make us happy" and our society reinforces this concept. It seems that people have given up their ability to make their own choices some of the time?
You are so right...we are one of the richest cultures in the world, and we have the highest rate of depression. Every time I turn on the tap for water, I think of how many people in our world do not have good drinking water. When I flip on the electricity, I remember how many people do not have that privilage. I have a home, food in my belly, and I remember how many people in our world do not have the very basics...drinking water, shelter...food. People are starving to death in many parts of our world, and some people in our culture are depressed because "there's not enough entertainment for them this summer"...(this refers to one of my previous posts about the young woman in the library who was bored).
We have given up many of our choices to create happiness/contentment in our own lives. In my perception, THAT is what people are really depressed about....giving the control to something outside themselves.Aug 7 2011: I go to gym. On return, I feel a lot of confidence and relief.
Depression is a self cure help.
Aug 8 2011: Shokrullah, This is a wonderful suggestion. There is a proven link between exercise and mood elevation. If I were a therapist, I would have my counselling sessions work during a walk in a park or some other beautiful place to get depressed people moving rather than sitting still and thinking!
As always, I loved your post!
Aug 9 2011: Thank you Debra. You are truely rich. Richness is in giving, not in holding.
In addition, please share the cause of depression with people you you are close to. In this way, you breakdown the depression load and it gets reduced.
What are friends for? Not just for sharing happiness. I agree with Helen.
Sometimes, they could compare you with others that you will find yourself very successful, and sometimes you get smart idea to root out the cause too. Share with as many as you can.Aug 9 2011: Thank you for the thumbs up.
Aug 9 2011: Dear Helen, You worth it, thanks me when I exceeded you.
Leila Oicles
Aug 17 2011: I have overcome depression in my life, and have also watched someone very close to me and whom I loved very much go throught the worst case of depression I have ever witnessed. It was the most difficult and heart breaking time in my life. I not only lost weight but went from my normal size 8 to a size 2. I suffered panic attacks and anxiety on a daily basis. There were times I cried and prayed to God in such fear with these atttacks in fear I would lose my mind. I came to a point where I had agoraphobic tendencies. I would break down in tears, feel faint, and anxious around a lot of people or unfamiliar places (and I was not in the least a shy person, but quite social and outgoing) Touch, love, and comfort was something I could not fully embrace at my worst. It also didn't help that I was away from my family in another state 800 miles away. While my friend had to resort to hospitilization for a time, medication, and therapy, I went down another path to overcome without medication or therapy.

Human beings can only take so much stress. This is not our natural flow, and there is moments or a moment where one has to say "I can't live like this any more" it is the choices and direction we go from that crucial point that makes the difference. It is easy to say that laughing or writing great things is the cure, but when you are in a bit deep, finding that place is quite difficult. It feels foreign and unauthentic, so somehow one needs to find relief in a way you can believe and relate to. I had to find relief in any way shape or form I could find it (such as anger as it felt better than fear or feeling worthless), then go from there and so on. The key for me was to look towards hope, to find hope.
I looked for solutions on panic attacks, and I faced it head on. I had nothing to lose and anything to gain. I wrote a lot, I had done the self pity,anger, the apologizing, the crying...and eventually began to see hope in my search, even in a song, or a poem....
Aug 19 2011: We are all mirrors to each other, reflecting information back and forth in every moment. With our stories, we reflect hope to others. I agree Leila, that to move through challenges, and possible depression, we need to face it "head on" as you insightfully say. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Looking at, and evaluating our own self pity, anger, frustration and percieved helplessness, can sometimes motivate us to move through some circumstances that may seem overwhelming.Aug 10 2011: http://www.biopsychiatry.com/happiness/
Aug 11 2011: Nicholas, I truly love your generous spirit! (Out of thumbs up or you would have one!)
Aug 12 2011: How am I a generous spirit? I'm just enlightened or wise (which ever comes first)! :-PAug 13 2011: Good article Nicholas...thanks for providing the link:>)
The book mentioned..."FLOW", by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is a good one.
I also like the reference to gratitude and how important it is in our quest for contentment. It's important to savor even small pleasures, and that builds a good foundation in our mind and heart from which we can "flow":>)
Julie Ann
Aug 10 2011: I think a change of posture also helps in the short term. Just as mood influences your posture (head down, hunched shoulders etc for someone feeling depressed), reversing this posture also improves mood. A "shoulders back, back straight, head up" stance also allows you to breathe more deeply - a mood enhancer. Smiling helps too, even if it is fake at first. Of course, the long-term solution is to address the cause of the depression.
- +2
Aug 11 2011: What a simple and yet immediately actionable suggestion! Thanks for another great insight Julie Ann!Aug 13 2011: Good points Julie Ann:>)
In addition to the breathing, the more aligned posture also facilitates the "flow" of energy through our body.
Smiling changes the chemistry of the body/mind which helps facilitate healing. I usually wear a smile, and sometimes when I'm not feeling great, I smile in the mirror, and the person in the mirror smiles back:>)
As you insightfully say, all of these small practices can contribute to moving us through challenging feelings, and the long term solution is to address the cause of the depression. If we embrace many little practices, in our every day lives, perhaps we can move through the feelings and emotions that sometimes lead to depression?
Julie Ann
Aug 14 2011: Hi Colleen, yes, I would certainly agree with your last point and I like your "smiling in the mirror" approach. Sometimes, expressing the emotions through art or writing helps too, I think. If the issues are deeply rooted, however, I suspect more deliberate therapy is needed. Cheers :-)

Aug 9 2011: I think that when you begin meditation, on your own will, you already have the mindset that you wish to get better. I believe that realizing that it will help gives me just enough energy to sit and listen. And sometimes, if I am too depressed to actively follow the meditation guide, the chance to sit, listen to something other than my issues, and to just breathe allows me enough time to calm down.Aug 8 2011: What we focus on expands.

Aug 8 2011: Debra,
It is a choice. Of course there is clinical depression, where the chemical imbalance in the body/mind may cause us to be ill equipped to deal with certain emotions. But generally, what people are calling depression, is an opportunity to learn about ourselves.
I've mentioned this before on TED, and I'll quote it again because it is relevant to the topic....
Ernest Holmes in "Science of Mind" states: "One of the great difficulties in the new order of thought is that we are likely to indulge in too much theory and too little practice". We try so hard to figure things out logically, that we lose touch with some very basic ideas. It's like Luigi says...sing a song...get some fresh air...be alive and content in the moment.
I was at the local library today, and overheard a lovely young girl talking on her cell phone. She was sitting among thousands of interesting books, and saying to her friend on the other end of the phone..."I am so f........ bored...there is NOTHING to do this summer...I'm depressed.
I had just been out in the gardens on a beautiful summer day, and getting a new book to read this evening...how perfect is that? And this young, attractive, healthy person was sitting in the midst of thousands of books, saying she was bored!!! It's a choice!
21 years ago, when my mother and father died, I was ending a 24 year marriage, diagnosed with cancer, and sustained a near fatal head injury, I focused on the good things that were happening...I walked five more steps today, than I did yesterday...that's progress. I did not deny the sadness, frustration, and overwhelming challenge that I faced. I focused on the positive things that were happening...my wonderful encouraging, loving friends and family...the sun is out today....I walked one more step today, than yesterday.
We don't need to "drag our focus" in any direction Debra. There is ALWAYS something to focus on that may bring us to another level of understanding and learning in our "self".

They help you overall relax and focus on something that isn't positive, but isn't negative. It doesn't push you into positive thinking, as some do, but rather it calms you down to a neutral feeling so you can build yourself up. I find it wonderful.
Aug 8 2011: Brooke, this is another great suggestion. How do you handle it when your thoughts stray? Many depressed people cannot drag their minds from the issues that are bothering them. We would all value your insights on staying on track during meditation.

Aug 19 2011: Dialectical Behavior Therapy and DBT Skills help me fight depression. Thoughts, Feelings and Actions are of course, inter-related. Purposeful action in spite of opposing thoughts and feelings can change depressive thoughts and feelings; reversing the cycle or flow. Radical Acceptance has helped me enormously. I have to Turn My Mind over and over and over and over again, many times in even the same minute. It is possible to decrease one's emotional suffering by Acceptance. Non-acceptance increases misery. Just the facts or non-judgmentally, one-mindfully and Focusing on What Works (effectively) are the three HOW Skills in DBT MINDFULNESS. Mindfulness creates space for tolerance and acceptance and choice. http://www.dbtselfhelp.com/html/radical_acceptance_part_1.html

Those JAMB results
The results of entrance examination into tertiary institutions across the country for 2012 were released Friday last week by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), and they contained nothing but another disappointment for most candidates and their parents.
Out of the over 1.5 million candidates who sat for the examination widely known as United Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), only three scored 300 and above while 72,243 scored 250 and above. Just 601, 151 got marks ranging from 200 to 249. In all, only 673,397 scored above the 200 mark threshold which could earn them a university admission.
Add this distressing news to the results of the 2011 Nov/Dec 'O" Level where the failure rate was as high as 70 percent and you begin to wonder whether we can ever stop this free fall in the standard of education in this country.
When JAMB Registrar, Prof. 'Dibu Ojerinde, in announcing the results said some were withheld due to examination malpractices and extortion of candidates in 52 of the 3001 centres across the country, discerning minds were quick to interpret that as saying that the examination papers leaked before the exam date, and may be they did.
But whether that was the case or not the facts remain that something is wrong with the education system in this country, especially at the foundation stage. If only three out of 1.5 million candidates who sat for an examination that was set based on what the candidates must have been taught at the senior secondary school level, scored 300 and above out of total obtainable mark of 400, then we can not be talking of vision 20:2020 as this generation of Nigerians can't take us anywhere near that.
What are our children being taught in our secondary schools if more than half of those who sat for university entrance examination failed? I am sure JAMB did not manufacture the questions from heaven. It is either something is wrong with the teachers or their teaching methods. Agreed that the children are getting lazy nowadays and spend more time watching English Premier League or Africa Magic on satellite television, the teachers could do better if they devote more time and energy to their responsibility to their students.
But then as it is often said, you can't give what you don't have. Some have questioned the qualities of the teachers themselves. Recently this newspaper published a survey of school proprietors where they were lamenting the poor quality of teachers coming out of our tertiary institutions. A particular teacher wrote a letter advising the school administrator on what to do to motivate the teachers and the spellings were horrible. Pray, what type of knowledge would that kind of teacher impart on his/her student. And you can imagine what the result would be if that teacher were to prepare a student for WAEC, NECO or JAMB.
When some people complain about the falling standard of education in this country I used to think it was just this good for nothing attitude that most of us have towards our country and everything Nigeria, but in the last few years that I have been paying more attention to WAEC/NECO and JAMB exams I've since realised what they are saying and have come to the conclusion that something has to be done and urgently too, if we are to arrest the decline.
It is simplistic and easy to blame the teachers for this problem, but what are the parents/guardians doing towards ensuring that their children/wards get good quality education? Some of them, especially the fathers, believe once they pay the school fees they have discharged their responsibility to the kids and the teachers should take up the rest. This is not enough.
Some parents don't even care whether the children do their home work or assignment or not. They hardly read notes sent to them by their children teachers most times telling them about their observations/opinions of their children. Open Days, PTA meetings where they could meet the teachers and inquire about the personal conduct and academic performance of their children/wards, are never attended by some parents/guardians. They are preoccupied about making money and nothing more. They pay heavily to subscribe to pay-per-view television where their kids watch anything from the good to the bad and the ugly. And when the children misbehave, it is either their mother that is bad or their teacher. The father takes no blame.
Some parents, and in this case, mothers, even go as far as procuring examination questions for their children ahead of the exam, believing that is how they can help their children pass exams. This is wrong. Such parents are only using their wealth to ruin the future of their children
The government also shares in this blame by paying lip service to the funding of education. The budget for education by all the tiers of government in this country is nothing to write home about. Children still learn under trees in some states of the federation, some still sit on bare floor. In some of our secondary schools you see one teacher taking several subjects irrespective of his/her qualification or specialisation. You see some Youth Corps members teaching English language in secondary schools just because they have a degree in Mass Communication, while some English/Education graduates are serving in banks, oil companies or some other companies where the pay is good.
The problem with our education is societal. From the family up to the government, we all have a role to play. We'll continue to get the kind of results released last week by JAMB as long as we continue to do what we are doing now; paying lip service to education. Someone recently defined madness as doing the same thing the same way all the time and expecting a different result. We must be mad in this country to think things will improve in our education system when we continue to do the same thing over and over again.
Those who have been able to send their people to the moon so to speak invest heavily on education as well as research and development. We want to be among the 20 leading economies in the world by the year 2020, yet none of our universities is listed among the leading tertiary institutions in the world today. Our degrees are hardly recognised outside our shores, as our graduates are not accorded the same recognition given their peers in other countries.
None of our industries can compete outside because they lack modern technology and where they are not found wanting, you find a foreigner representing them their. Yet there are Nigerians in those countries doing well, but they won't come back home because the system is not good for them. How many Nigerian expatriate would be willing to come back home and put their children in our secondary schools or universities? A good parent will think of something like this before accepting a job anywhere. Its about time we think seriously about our education system in this country if we seriously desire to make a positive impact on the world.

Peña's creativity shows in the food at Bistro on the Square
Submitted by Edgar on July 27, 2014 - 9:07am
The vegetable garden that flourishes outside Bistro on the Square in downtown Uvalde is one hint that Uvalde transplant Noel Peña's fare might be a little different. The next hint is the menu, colorfully advertised on a chalkboard; last week, daily specials included a mango shrimp salad, cushaw squash and pork, and a chorizo burger topped with spinach and Swiss cheese, served with warm potato salad.

What is Grand Theft Auto, and why does it cause such controversy?
Published 29/04/2008 | 09:40
On sale across the world today, Grand Theft Auto IV is expected to be the fastest selling video game of all time
Why are we asking this now?
Because the eagerly awaited video game Grand Theft Auto IV goes on sale today across the world and is expected to sell 6m copies within the next week, earning its makers more than $300m by next Tuesday. The 18-rated game is also likely to break retail records to become the biggest-selling entertainment title of all time, eclipsing DVD and music sales. It's also the first Grand Theft Auto title to appear simultaneously on rival games consoles the PlayStation3 and the Xbox 360.
What will people be getting for their €59.99?
Access to a fully-realised world where almost anything is possible. According to Tim Ingham, online editor of the video games industry bible MCV, the game will offer its players "hours upon hours of the most immersive and interactive entertainment ever seen".
The game follows Niko, an eastern European immigrant newly arrived in a city modelled on New York, as he makes a life for himself in an unforgiving urban world. As well as cutting-edge graphics and realistic locations, the game is the best example of a virtual "open-world environment" where players can roam freely, completing tasks as they choose rather than following a pre-established script.
With its mix of street criminals, city-dwellers and more glamorous characters such as virtual versions of comedian Ricky Gervais and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, it's light years away from traditional video games like Space Invaders or, later, Sonic the Hedgehog. So popular is this free-form style of gaming that Ingham says he has already heard reports of people booking the rest of the week off work to play the title.
How did this phenomenon begin?
The company behind GTA, Rockstar Games, is a British success story. It was founded by English brothers Sam and Dan Houser with their childhood friend Terry Donovan in 1998 after the three worked together at a record label, BMG Music, in London. When the label launched an interactive division in 1993, the three signed up and began creating video games. Their first big success was a game originally called Race and Chase, which went on to be renamed Grand Theft Auto. The game saw players steering a car around a city while committing crimes. The aim was to become as notorious as possible while avoiding police attention. The mix proved popular and the game sold around 2m copies.
What happened next?
In 1998 BMG's interactive division was bought by New York games publisher Take-Two, a move that saw the Houser brothers, Donovan and their team relocate to the city. With a new name – Rockstar Games – and financial backing, they created GTA 2 in 1999 which, like its predecessor sold a respectable 2m. The game's next incarnation, GTA 3, was the first to introduce three-dimensional graphics and to feature an open-world environment where players could explore at their leisure. It launched in 2001 and was a huge success, selling 10m copies. The next title, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, was another instant best-seller, becoming the fastest-selling game of all time in a number of countries. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas was released in 2004 and like it's predecessors was an immediate hit worldwide. It was followed up by two supplementary GTA titles, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories.
Who plays Grand Theft Auto?
Males aged between 18 and 35, the biggest spenders on video games, make up a large part of the game's demographic, although the title is popular with female and older gamers too.
How did it fall foul of moral guardians?
By being unashamedly controversial in its subject matter. The game features casual violence, sexual explicitness, prostitution, bad language and, some commentators claim, a glorification of criminal activity. The first GTA game was described as "sick, deluded and beneath contempt" by the Police Federation. Following the release of GTA 3, US representative Joe Baca, a Democrat from Southern California, introduced the Protect Children from Video Game Sex and Violence Act of 2002, asking, "Do you really want your kids assuming the role of a mass murderer or a carjacker while you are away at work?" Australia banned the game.
In 2004 GTA: San Andreas cemented the series' reputation when a secret mini-game, called Hot Coffee, was discovered by a hacker. The game allowed players to have sex in the game and was the subject of a number of lawsuits. Hillary Clinton said that "the disturbing material in Grand Theft Auto and other games like it is stealing the innocence of our children". Despite the game's adult age rating, many under-18s have managed to play previous GTA titles and will no doubt try to acquire today's release.
Is there any evidence that such games affect behaviour?
"Copycat" behaviour following viewings of violent films has been claimed for some decades, and studies by Iowa State University argue that "violent video games are significantly associated with increased aggressive behaviour," and that "high levels of violent video game exposure have been linked to delinquency, fighting at school and violent criminal behaviour." But the video-game industry does not accept the premise, and applies its rating system strictly.
What is the games business worth?
Last year the games industry was worth $37.5bn, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. It is forecast to expand by more than 9 per cent annually over the next few years to become worth $48.9bn by 2011. The GTA franchise has sold 70m in total – and that's before today's expected bonanza.
How have these games changed the entertainment industry?
Video games have stolen a march on Hollywood – not only do the sales of games dwarf those of films, they also have a detrimental effect on the box office and TV viewing figures. According to Variety, "TV network execs who pay attention to the numbers know that young male viewership can dip in the first few days after a blockbuster video game launches. And home-entertainment honchos avoid releasing big titles aimed at that demo in the same time period."
Take this week. Industry analyst Mike Hickey says, "we anticipate the video game release of GTA IV on April 29 could dampen the potential from Iron Man's release on May 2." Grand Theft Auto is on the march again.
So is GTA damaging to society?
- Some studies show that children who play violent video games suffer behavioural problems as a result
- Research has found exposure to violent video games can desensitise individuals to real-life violence
- The Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants fears the new game will have a negative impact on eastern Europeans
- Inventive, funny and intelligent, GTA IV is one of the best video games of all time
- The games industry says it is united on not letting games like GTA fall into underage hands
- The game has an 18 age certificate and is no different to adult-rated films that depict sex or violence

Originally written on cheap-heat | Last updated 3/4/13
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross published a new blog entry on JrsBarBq.com. Here are some highlights. Legends on tonight's Raw: "WWE.com released an impressive list or names earlier today that are slated to appear on tonight's Old School Raw. Happy to see them all especially guys like the Honkytonk Man who hasn't been involved in WWE programming in quite some time. Always good to see my old Mid south Wrestling buddy Hacksaw Jim Duggan get a call as well as Nature Boy Ric Flair who I'm sure the Buffalo, live audience will embrace. I know that Mean Gene Okerlund has been looking forward to this night for quite some time. The Million Dollar Man will be on RAW tonight with two, newly replaced knees." John Cena vs. The Rock: "One could realistically expect some sort of confrontation between The Rock, the WWE Champion, and his number one contender and WM29 opponent, John Cena. If this confrontation does occur, I'd guess that both men will be compellingly serious. The responsibility that they carry in closing the show at WM29 is massive. The top guys always carry the heaviest load but with that comes the greatest rewards. Some guys can handle the pressure and some fold like a cheap shirt….and often blame the promotion for their lack of push or general success." CM Punk: "It's also a huge night for @CMPunk, arguably WWE's MVP for the past year and change, as he has to re-position himself for WM29. There's lots of speculation on this matter and we'll hopefully know more conclusive info during tonight's three hour broadcast. @HeymanHustle will be knee deep in whatever happens, as well, one can assume. "I'm guessing that we come out of tonight's Old School RAW with a much clearer picture of what we can expect to see from an upper card level respect at WM29 on April 7 at MetLife Stadium.

Space aliens in U.S. and U.K. news, Vatican approves
- 14 May 2008
- By William Atkins
- Published in Space
Several media organizations are reporting in May 2008 about news, past and present, concerning extraterrestrials. Check out what the British government, U.S. astronauts, and the Vatican chief astronomer have to say.
United Kingdom
A British report, released on Wednesday, May 14, 2008, by the National Archives in the United Kingdom is titled "Report of Unusual Aerial Phenomenon." It contains over 1,000 pages of formerly secret documents about unidentified flying objects (UFOs). (Clicking on the above link will take you to the National Archives "Report.")
The incidents within the Report are from the years between the late 1970s and early 1980s—all from the United Kingdom.
UFO expert David Clarke worked with members of the National Archives to make the Report public. During these years, the British government investigated each UFO report because of concern over possible infiltration of the Russians during the Cold War.
Clarke stated, "The Ministry of Defense doesn't have any evidence that our defenses were breached by alien craft. They never found one, no bits of one. That's all we can say."
Read the full story at Fox News "Britain Opens Up Secret UFO Files."
United States
In a second story about ETs, U.S. astronauts from the STS-123 mission, which landed in March 2008 from their successful mission to the International Space Station, talked about space aliens at a news conference held in Tokyo, Japan.
NASA mission specialist Mike Foreman stated, "If we push back boundaries far enough, I'm sure eventually we'll find something out there. Maybe not as evolved as we are, but it's hard to believe that there is not life somewhere else in this great universe."
Japanese astronaut Takao Doi, also a member of the STS-123 crew, added, "Life like us must exist elsewhere in the universe."
STS-123 commander Dominic Gorie also commented, "As we travel in the space, we don't know what we'll find. That's the beauty of what we do. I hope that someday we'll find what we don't understand."
Please read the entire article "Space station astronauts confident alien life will be found" from The Tech Herald.
The chief science advisor at the Vatican also has comments on extraterrestrials. Please turn the page.

Jed Rakoff and the Lonely Fight for Wall Street Justice
Long before he began crossing swords with the Securities and Exchange Commission over its tepid response to the 2008 financial collapse, US District Judge Jed Rakoff had already established a reputation for speaking his mind on the major issues of the day. But in his refusal to allow the SEC to rap a few knuckles and move on, the judge seemed to be speaking for everyone who shared his rage at the lack of accountability on Wall Street and the reluctance of the regulatory and legal systems to do much about it.
"Who was to blame?" Rakoff asked readers in a widely circulated article published in The New York Review of Books in January. "Was it simply a result of negligence, of the kind of inordinate risk-taking commonly called a 'bubble,' of an imprudent but innocent failure to maintain adequate reserves for a rainy day? Or was it the result, at least in part, of fraudulent practices, of dubious mortgages portrayed as sound risks and packaged into ever more esoteric financial instruments, the fundamental weaknesses of which were intentionally obscured?"
The more he researched and thought about the financial crisis, and the more cases he presided over involving its aftermath, the more Rakoff came to believe the latter. That stance has guided a series of landmark rulings in which he has challenged the SEC's preference for consent decrees—agreements in which banks pay a token fine to settle complaints without admitting guilt—and placed the agency's lax approach to regulatory oversight in the national spotlight.
In 2009, rejecting a settlement between the SEC and Bank of America that he described as "neither fair, nor reasonable, nor adequate," Rakoff wrote that the deal "does not comport with the most elementary notions of justice and morality."
Bank of America was in hot water over the way it had taken over Merrill Lynch in 2008. The takeover, which had come at the urging of the Treasury, prevented a tottering financial edifice from collapsing and setting off what could have been a catastrophic global domino effect. The problem was that, to sweeten the deal and smooth the process, Bank of America had allegedly secretly authorized Merrill to pay out up to $5.8 billion in year-end bonuses. According to the complaint, the bank had also hidden from its shareholders that Merrill was about to post enormous fourth-quarter losses, which would likely have provoked a shareholder revolt against the action.
The SEC had agreed to a settlement in which Bank of America would pay a token fine of $33 million as a consequence of the shady deal. The penalty would essentially be paid by the bank's shareholders, even though they were the ones who had taken the hit. When Rakoff first read the settlement, he recalls, "it looked totally unreasonable on every level."
By putting a kibosh on the deal, Rakoff embarrassed the SEC into taking another look at Bank of America's actions. When the parties returned to Rakoff after a full discovery process that laid bare the facts of the case, the terms of the deal had changed. Now Bank of America was going to pay a $150 million penalty; the money would come from Merrill shareholders rather than the bank's; and the merged institution agreed to implement a series of prophylactic measures to prevent such actions from occurring again.
Ideally, Rakoff felt, such settlement agreements should hold individual decision-makers responsible for their organization's actions and should also involve admissions of wrongdoing. Nevertheless, what was on the table was, he felt, a whole lot better than the original settlement. So the judge held his nose and accepted the deal.
Two years later, in a blistering November 2011 ruling that was notable for its strong tone and moral judgment, Rakoff tossed out a settlement between the SEC and Citigroup that allowed the firm to pay a $285 million fine—without admitting guilt—for allegedly selling a billion-dollar fund it knew was filled with toxic mortgage debt, and then betting against its own customers to profit from the failure. Citigroup had made $160 million on the deal; its investors had lost more than $700 million.
The settlement might have been good enough for the regulators, but Rakoff felt that the penalty left "the defrauded investors substantially short-changed." Besides, he added, he wouldn't be able to determine whether the settlement was in the public interest until the SEC produced more information about Citigroup's practices before 2008.
"The S.E.C., of all agencies, has a duty, inherent in its statutory mission, to see that the truth emerges," Rakoff wrote, "and if it fails to do so, this Court must not, in the name of deference or convenience, grant judicial enforcement to the agency's contrivances."
Unfortunately, not all judges agreed with Rakoff's analysis. On June 4, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals overturned his Citigroup ruling. Rakoff had "abused" his discretion, argued Judge Rosemary Pooler, author of the appellate court's decision, "by applying an incorrect legal standard" in his review. "Consent decrees are primarily about pragmatism," Pooler added, essentially holding that if both parties to the lawsuit agreed to settle, the judge really couldn't stand in the way. In other words, Rakoff's sense of moral unease simply didn't have a place in the process. This was about getting deals done and moving on, about helping firms and regulatory agencies manage risk; it was not about seeking the truth.
That leaves Rakoff in an unusual position: standing on the side of full disclosure and the public interest even as the appeals court sides with the banks and their regulatory enablers.

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden has officially been ruled ot of Sunday's key clash vs the New York Jets:Patriots rule RB Brandon Bolden (knee), safety Steve Gregory (hip) & LB Tracy White (foot) as out for Sunday's game vs. Jets.— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) October 19, 2012The running back committee that has been so effective in 4 of the Patriots game so far is missing a member for Sunday. Although this could be a great opportunity for Shane Vereen to get some carries. The second year back has had a couple of successful tries in the Red Zone so far this season, so he can be trusted by Bill Belichick. He'll be a good option if Stevan Ridley or Danny Woodhead struggle.Steve Gregory was hopeful of returning to give the safeties some depth on Sunday. unfortunately he hasn't been able to make it.

Creamed Corn with Bacon and Chanterelles
- prep time 1 min
- total time 1 min
- serves 4
My version of creamed corn is nothing like the mushy canned variety. I left half of the kernels whole for texture and I added bacon to give it a delicious smoky flavour. I love chanterelles but any wild mushroom variety can be used instead.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 1/2/13
PASADENA, Calif. Two-minute drives and Wisconsin quarterback Curt Phillips had become synonymous during his brief stint as the team's starter. Facing dire situations against tough Ohio State and Penn State defenses last month, Phillips led the Badgers down the field for game-tying touchdown drives to force overtime. So when Wisconsin trailed Stanford on Tuesday evening by six points with just a few minutes remaining, it seemed reasonable to believe Phillips would work his magic one last time. One more march down the field, and Phillips would go down in Wisconsin lore for pulling a Rose Bowl victory out of the hat. It didn't happen. Phillips' final pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage and intercepted at Stanford's 42-yard-line with 2:03 remaining in the game, and Stanford went on to defeat Wisconsin, 20-14, to capture the Rose Bowl. The throw, intended for Badgers tight end Jacob Pedersen, never had a chance. "It was a bit of a miscommunication between us, but I saw him and I've...
