CHICAGO—Pearlshire Capital Group has taken ownership of the Holiday Inn Chicago SW Countryside Conference Center and William Tell Restaurant.
The new owners of the 172-room hotel plan to invest $8 million in capital improvements to reposition the property.
Pearlshire Capital Group will retain Ultima Hospitality, which has managed the property since 2012. Rehan Zaid, a principal of Pearlshire, commented, "Working together [with Ultima] on our plans for an extensive renovation of this historic property will develop great potential for the hotel and our partnership."
Ultima's COO, Mark Zettl, noted, "For the past two years we have produced strong results at Holiday Inn Countryside. The owner's commitment and the plans to improve the hotel will allow the team to grow our business and elevate the guest experience."
Holiday Inn SW Countryside Conference Center and William Tell Restaurant feature more than 25,000 sq. ft. of conference space along with an indoor recreational center featuring an Olympic-size pool, two Jacuzzis, a sauna, a children's pool, a fitness center and game area.
The hotel is situated close to downtown Chicago, Chicago O'Hare International Airport and Chicago's Midway Airport.

From lifestyle choices to luxury decisions. Back in January, when we unveiled the newly redesigned Hotel Business, Eric Danziger was the subject of our cover story for the ALIS issue. He had recently joined Hampshire Hotels Management as president and CEO, and had just transformed the operator into a full-fledged brand company, Début Hotel Group, which would become the umbrella for five brands (Augustus Hotels & Resorts, Dream Hotels, Time Hotels, Unscripted Hotels and Night Hotels).

Don't listen to any reviews but this one, Mine. This game allows you to simulate fight. Moves and Defensive blocks. Extremely good game for $2.99 . A must have for fighting enthusiasts. Includes a Bloodsport Mui Thai fighter. That's who I chose to represent me.More

Its not what you think its not pressing buttons in a Tekken style fighting game your waiting for a green light to appear so you can push a button so your character will do their technique this is disappointing for many reasons A. Its simply not fun B. The graphics should be better since all the moves are pre planned C. Its just disappointing its a great idea but the developer went about it in the worst possible wayMore

Fight Game: Rivals could have been a great game if taken farther by the developer. It has all the components necessary to be good, it just doesn't have enough of them. I do, however, applaud the developer for taking time to think of a good way to port a fighting game to the phone platform since the traditional button masher wouldn't work effectively. What the game needs to be better are more moves, more variety of mini-games that actually have something to do with the moves, a story line, and a way to chain combos together. If it had those things, I would easily give it a 5. Looking forward to a sequel that will hopefully address these shortcomings.More

Not a bad "fighter". Simple but different. Definitely try before you buy.More

Really good graphics, and fun when you're actually using strategy to find the best combination of moves for every character. Very little replay value after beating the game with every fighter (took me a few weeks), but fun while it lasted. Game occasionally freezes when all your moves are in cooldown, but still over all a pretty good game. HTC SurroundMore

I would enjoy the game a whole lot better if wouldn't freeze up and force me to take the battery out of my phone in order to fix it. I wish I would have keep my money . Now this game just flat out turns my phone off. Uninstalling . Leave this game off your phone.More

The desire to assert oneself is no less powerful, in the social interplay, than the impulse to submission.
How is one to intimidate, persuade, resist, assert oneself against them?
One had to say something if only to assert oneself against that wearisome, passionless and crushing uproar.
It may be needful, on occasion, to assert oneself, or at least one's authority; but it is difficult to do it without sin.
At my age," she straightened herself proudly, "one must assert oneself!
I believe in such a place as London unless one has resolution to assert oneself people think one is a sort of shadow.
To exist is to assert oneself, to affirm oneself, to love oneself; he to whom life is a burthen rids himself of it.
c.1600, "declare," from Latin assertus, past participle of asserere "claim, maintain, affirm" (see assertion). Related: Asserted; asserting. To assert oneself "stand up for one's rights" is recorded from 1879.

About Janelle Schneider
From the earliest stories painted on cave walls, sung and spoken around campfires, stories have entertained us, enlightened us, enveloped us, informed our idea of reality and our place within it. The telling and sharing of stories has set us apart, distinguished our humanity. The stories we hold as true shape the our actions in the world.
As humans we live in a world increasingly of our own design and fabrication; we have become separated from nature, from an awareness and understanding of the things that enable life to exist. We forget that we are born into and a part of the larger organism of a living Earth - that we are not separate from it. Water, Earth, Air - these are fundamental elements that enable life to exist. Yet our current story of separateness, is leading to the desecration and destruction of these elements which are the basic requirements for Life
The stories humans hold as true shape the our actions in the world - it is time to change the old story of separation.
I believe that art has the power to heal us, to remind us, to point us back to our place within the web of life, to help us change our story, and thus our actions in the world.
My work in acrylics, and mixed media offer thought threads, idea seeds, visual symbolism for a new story, reconnecting through art to understanding our place within Nature and that which truly sustains us.

The memory wars: testing the vagaries of human testimony
Can the legal system trust verdicts based on witnesses memories? One expert has been at the forefront of a complex debate on this issue for decades.
Elizabeth Loftus is a world-renowned Professor of Law and Psychology based at the University of California's Irvine Campus. She has been visiting Australia as a guest of La Trobe University's School of Psychology.
Professor Loftus has for many years been at the forefront of complex and controversial debates around the nature of memory and research, which has made her a much sought after expert witness in criminal and civil trials.
Damien Carrick: Hello, welcome to the Law Report, Damien Carrick with you.
Today, the vagaries of human memory. Elizabeth Loftus is a well renowned professor of both law and psychology based at the University of California's Irvine campus. She's just been visiting Australia as a guest of La Trobe University's School of Psychology. Professor Loftus has for many years been at the forefront of complex and controversial debates around the nature of memory, and her research has made her a much sought-after expert witness in both criminal and civil trials.
Elizabeth Loftus: I've testified in court cases more than 250 times on the subject of human memory and the factors that influence memory, and it's always hard to know what influences a jury verdict. I'm one small piece of a case as an expert witness, but there is also the skills of the attorney and the facts of the case and the luck of the jury selection and so on that influences the outcome. But I can tell you that eyewitness testimony, we now know, is the major cause of wrongful convictions.
In one project in the United States where more than 300 cases of wrongful conviction…I mean, we know these are wrongful convictions because DNA testing was ultimately done and proved that these individuals were absolutely innocent, after they had served 10, 15, 20 years in prison for these crimes they didn't do. And we know that the major cause of these wrongful convictions is faulty eyewitness testimony. So I think it's essential to do something about the eyewitness testimony because, unchecked, jurors are going to have a tendency to want to believe it.
Damien Carrick: Tell me…I know you're reluctant to pick on a particular case, but can you tell me about one or two which really stick out in your mind where you think that the evidence you gave was very important and you're very proud of having given that evidence?
Elizabeth Loftus: Well, there is a case of one man who had been convicted of a brutal murder. His conviction was overturned for technical reasons because prejudicial photographs had been used and introduced in a way in which the higher court decided was unfair to the defendant. He was granted a new trial. I came into the case and testified about the sort of shabby eyewitness testimony and what factors were problematic, and he was acquitted at the second trial. So that was a very special case for me.
Damien Carrick: Like you say, you've given evidence in something like 250 cases. You first began studying how memory works I think back in the 1970s, and you began by looking at eyewitness accounts of car accidents, and you began to construct some really interesting experiments. And you found that the questions that are asked have a huge impact on the answer. Tell me about your study and some of the really interesting discoveries that you made.
Elizabeth Loftus: Okay. The kind of conclusions that I would reach based on this work really applied to memory for any kind of complex event. But what I was doing back in the first batch of experiments is showing people simulated accidents, maybe films of traffic accidents, and then I would question people about what they witnessed. And in one study, for example, we asked people a question like, 'How fast were the cars going when they hit each other,' and we asked other witnesses a similar question but with a different verb, 'How fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other,' and we found that our witnesses told us the cars were going faster if we use the word 'smashed' than if we used the word 'hit'.
But then we also had another finding. If you came back a week later and said to these witnesses, 'By the way, did you see any broken glass?' Those to whom we'd earlier used the 'smashed' question, they were far more likely to say they'd seen broken glass that did not exist compared to witnesses who had been asked to be less leading question with the word 'hit'.
And so based on this kind of research, this study and many others, we concluded that those leading questions affect not just the answer that a witness gives but can have a long-range affect, can affect the answers to completely different questions that you put to a witness often much, much later.
Damien Carrick: I believe that you found that even prepositions can make a major difference. So if you asked the question, 'Did you see a broken headlight,' you'll get a different answer from the question, 'Did you see the broken headlight?'
Elizabeth Loftus: That's right, using the definite article, 'Did you see the broken headlight,' led more people to say, 'Yes, I saw it.' There was no broken headlight in the accident, and yet using the definite article 'the' compared to 'a' led witnesses to claim they saw this non-existent object. So another example of how the wording of a question can affect what people saw and can make people think they saw things that didn't exist.
Damien Carrick: You've given evidence in many cases. I think there was one where a woman was accused of killing an abusive boyfriend, and the question was; was this self-defence or premeditated murder. And the big question was how much time had elapsed between picking up the gun and firing it. Some witnesses said minutes, some said seconds, and your evidence was very important in terms of the jury coming to a decision about who to believe.
Elizabeth Loftus: I did work on that case, I consulted on that case. I actually consulted on that case for free because I wanted to get a close-up look at real witnesses, not just the laboratory witnesses that I'd been dealing with for the whole previous couple of years. So I volunteered my services to the chief public defender who was trying that case of that female defendant. I consulted on the case and ultimately the woman was acquitted. I then wrote an article about the case and how the science could be used to understand what happened in this case and how the lawyer was able to use some of that science and publish that article, and that's what alerted the legal field to the value of psychological science in this arena.
Damien Carrick: You've gone on to, as you say, give evidence in many, many trials. Some of them have been very high profile and very controversial criminal trials, and you've usually worked for the defence. I believe you worked on a case for Ted Bundy and he was I think convicted of kidnapping in that trial but escaped and of course he eventually went on to admit killing something like 30 people. Do you ever worry about the evidence that you gave may be getting people off…?
Elizabeth Loftus: In the case of Bundy we did not know that he was the Ted Bundy. When I got a call from the attorney representing Ted Bundy, it was Ted who was a law student at the University of Utah Law School who was arrested for this aggravated kidnapping. And I did analyse the eyewitness aspects of that case, I testified about some of the issues that the judge should think about in that case. I believe it was a bench trial. In the end the judge did convict Bundy of that crime, and as you indicated and the rest of the world knows, he would ultimately be extradited to Colorado where he was standing trial for another crime and ultimately escape from jail in Colorado, end up in a Florida and commit horrible crimes there. So I don't have to worry that somehow my testimony in that case led to an acquittal and lead to somebody out on the street committing more crimes. I would feel terrible if that happened. So far I guess I'm lucky because to my knowledge it hasn't happened.
Damien Carrick: So it's not something that keeps you awake at night?
Elizabeth Loftus: No, it's not, and of course earlier in my career I believed that psychologists should involve themselves in legal cases, and not be trying to decide who is guilty and who is not, but the public paid for the scientific work and has a right to the information and to have it be available. Nowadays I prefer to testify for people when I have this gut feeling that I may have somebody who is innocent. But I have so many cases that I could work on. I now have the luxury of waiting for that one that I think may really be innocent.
Damien Carrick: There have been a lot of very high profile cases. The Hillside Stranglers, the 1992 trial of the police officers who beat Rodney King in LA, Phil Spector the music producer. I imagine that you would as an expert witness come to these cases and say at the end of the day everybody is entitled to a fair trial and it's the job of the prosecution to establish beyond reasonable doubt somebody's gilt.
Elizabeth Loftus: I agree with that completely. But also just to clarify so the record is just perfectly pristine here, sometimes I consult on cases but end up not testifying. So I did testify on behalf of Phil Spector. I still have doubts about what really happened in that case, and I think that the sort of accident theory is an extremely viable theory, even though the jury did decide to convict him. The officers in the Rodney King case, I did consult on that case, didn't actually testify.
Damien Carrick: They didn't want your testimony.
Elizabeth Loftus: No, I think they probably did want the testimony but the judge wouldn't admit the testimony because there's a whole issue there about whether judges admit this psychological evidence or exclude it.
Damien Carrick: You're listening to the Law Report on ABC Radio National. Today, a conversation with Professor Elizabeth Loftus from the University of California, who is currently in Australia.
We've been talking about the unreliability of memory and some of the issues around that, but you are perhaps most famous for your work in cases involving repressed memories. Can you tell me about when you first became involved in that field, which is an incredibly controversial field. Tell me about that first case you were involved with.
Elizabeth Loftus: Well, that one I remember very well because it was approximately 1990. By that time I had spent 15 years involved in criminal and civil cases involving eyewitness issues. I'd testified quite a few times by then. Typical eyewitness types of cases, so some event really did happen and the witnesses' memory is or is not accurate or affected by other influences.
I got a call one day from an attorney and he said, 'I'm representing a client, he is accused of murder, his name is George Franklin. And the claim against him is that his daughter witnessed her father kill her little best friend when she was eight years old and repressed the memory for 20 years, now the memory has come back and now they are prosecuting George Franklin based on this claim of repressed memory. So what do you know about repression?'
And there I was, at that point I'd had my PhD for 20 years, I'd been studying memory for 20 or more years, and I said, 'Well, I've heard of the idea, it's kind of this hand-me-down Freudian concept that you take horrible things and banish them into the unconscious and then you can somehow reliably recover them later.' And he said, 'Well, what's the evidence for it?' And I said, 'Actually I don't know if there's any good evidence.' And I started to look, in conjunction with working on that case. And I was shocked. There was no credible scientific support for this. And despite that, George Franklin was convicted of murder. He could be virtually the first American to ever be convicted of murder based on a claim of repressed memory.
Damien Carrick: Was there other corroborating evidence?
Elizabeth Loftus: No, no. He spent, by the way, five years in prison, and ultimately his conviction was overturned, and he is now free. But I was kind of shocked, as were his attorneys, that a jury would be willing to convict based on this kind of claim. I didn't think we would see too many more of these cases, but what we began to see is thousands of people now coming forward and saying they repressed not memory for murder but repressed memory for years of sexual brutalisation, sometimes claims of being forced into satanic rituals and forced into baby breeding, all supposedly repressed into the unconscious. There is no credible scientific support for the idea that memory works like this, and yet we saw hundreds and hundreds of cases based on these claims.
Damien Carrick: Let's come back to that wave of claims in a moment. At around that time you decided to do what you always do, is try and establish some empirical evidence, and your experiment was inspired as you drove past a shopping mall. Tell me about the study that that drive-by inspired.
Elizabeth Loftus: Well, the inspiration started a little earlier. In my earlier studies of eyewitness testimony where I could get people to tell me they saw broken glass that didn't exist or broken headlights that didn't exist or stop signs in stead of yield signs, in other words memory is malleable and subject to suggestive influences, it was such a stretch from what George Franklin's daughter was claiming. She was claiming that she saw him commit a bunch of murders and that there was years of sexual abuse committed upon her, all allegedly repressed into her unconscious. And his defence was that none of this happened. So this is a little different from just turning a stop sign into a give way sign, you would say here. If these memories weren't real, these were really big, rich false memories, and so I was looking for a way to study the process by which a human mind could conjure up a really, really big false memory of something that didn't happen.
I thought about it for a number of years. What kind of a false memory could we plant in experimental subjects to study this phenomenon? We have to worry about the ethics review panels that review our proposed research. They're not going to let me convince people that Daddy raped them for a bunch of years and committed murders, so I needed an analogue. And the idea did come to me one day driving past a shopping centre; how about trying to convince people that they were lost in a shopping mall when they were five or six years old, that they were frightened, crying, ultimately rescued and reunited with the family? And that's the false memory we decided to try to plant in people's minds. And we succeeded after a few suggestive interviews with about a quarter of our sample of ordinary adults.
Damien Carrick: And what you did, from memory, was you had about 24 people, and with the cooperation of their families you presented them with four detailed events from their childhood, three of them were true, and the fourth scenario was this fabricated one. And then I understand that when presented with these four scenarios, one-quarter of the participants claimed that they could remember this false event, something like seven out of 24, and then several of those seven went on to add their own details to this fabricated memory. So it was pretty extraordinary.
Elizabeth Loftus: It was, and it did make a big splash when I first presented it at scientific meetings. And the critics came out and they hated this result, they could see where I was going and I was heading in the direction of talking about suggestive psychotherapy and that maybe it was leading these patients to have these rich false memories. And so they criticised the study, they said, you know, getting lost is so common, I mean, at least show us you can plant a false memory for something that would be more unusual or bizarre or traumatic than getting lost even for an extended time at the age of five.
And so we and others did plant these more unusual and bizarre memories. In one Canadian study, planting a false memory you nearly drowned and had to be rescued by a lifeguard, that one was in Tennessee actually, but the Canadian study was you were a victim of a vicious animal attack. An Italian study showing that you could get people to believe they'd witnessed people being demonically possessed. These are very rich false memories that were planted in the minds of ordinary people through this process of suggestion.
Damien Carrick: So you as a result of this study and I guess other people like you've just been telling me about, you became one of the key players in what went on to become the memory wars where there was a battle of psychologists about what was possible and not possible, and I just want to throw a few pithy quotes at you. This is yours: 'This is one of the great mental health scandals of the 20th century.' 'We saw thousands of lawsuits, all that money, all that waste, all that pain.' 'When people have been abused in childhood, their problem is not that they can't remember but that they can't forget.'
And this put you centre stage at this very, very acrimonious battle in the courts and throughout the whole legal system and throughout the whole business and profession of psychology. Was there a lot of hostility towards you?
Elizabeth Loftus: Well, there were periods that were just terrible because I was seeing all these families being ripped apart by what I thought was pseudo scientific views. I was speaking out about it as forcefully as I could and I was making people mad, particularly the subset of therapists who were conducting…deemed as repressed memory therapy, and the patients that they had helped to persuade, either inadvertently or advertently, that they were victims. I had death threats, I had to have armed guards at lectures that I was invited to give, I had people try to get invitations that were issued to me to come and speak, to get those invitations rescinded, and ultimately a lawsuit, which dragged on for almost five years.
Damien Carrick: We might come to that in a moment, but I guess before we do that, is it your argument that there is no such thing as a repressed memory of an actual event, or are you saying that they may well occur but there's also the distinct possibility of fabricated false memory and there's no way that we can sort the chalk from the chaff?
Elizabeth Loftus: I think it's a little closer to the latter for sure, but the way I would put it is first of all repression, the idea, the repression folklore is that you can take years of brutalisation, banish it into the unconscious, it's walled off from the rest of mental life, you need to get in there, dig down, do some psychotherapy, whatever, to unveil that repressed memory, and that's necessary for the patient to heal. There is no credible scientific support for this.
There is a lot of support for the idea that you can not think about something for even a long period of time and then be reminded of it, of course that happens. But this claim of repression and the claims of repression that were being introduced in these legal cases, no credible scientific support, and I just don't feel that people should be thrown in prison, which they have been, or deprived of money or assets, which they have been, based on an unsubstantiated theory. We may one day find evidence, and then feel justified in doing this, but we don't have it now.
Damien Carrick: Elizabeth Loftus, people say that what you have been able to achieve is to cast doubt over repressed memories, but you haven't been able to actually disprove them. And that means that in these complex cases there could well be some perpetrators who have been found not guilty because of your evidence.
Elizabeth Loftus: It's certainly conceivable that some people who actually committed bad acts could say that their accusers have false memories. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if somebody tried to claim that.
Damien Carrick: They must've.
Elizabeth Loftus: But I'm still focused on the fact that there's a theory that is being advanced in the therapy offices with these patients, in books, with other therapists and in courtrooms that doesn't have any credible support. And I don't think we should put up with that.
Damien Carrick: So you were at the centre of this legal and scientific storm. How has it panned out over the years? Has the storm settled or is it still raging?
Elizabeth Loftus: You know, the media covered this issue so intensely and for so long that the media kind of lost interest in it. And so people think somehow the memory wars are over and that we don't see cases like this, but that's not true. Right now for the media to get interested you've got to have somebody really famous do the accusing or have somebody really famous be accused and then it might get back into the news. But legal cases are still going on based on claims of repressed memory, and there are still a few experts who will testify on behalf of these accusers, still saying that this is the way memory works and everyone agrees. And so I feel it sort of my job and the job of people, other right-minded, right-thinking people to go in there and say, 'That's not true.' At most you could say, 'This is highly controversial.'
Damien Carrick: Elizabeth Loftus, this has been a very wide-ranging conversation and we've been talking about the possible fabrication of memories, either inadvertently, or you're suggesting that sometimes perhaps recklessly maybe. Are there any positive uses for this kind of fabrication? What about making people forget, and I'm thinking of soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder or people who have been victims of crime or have had some other, say, abuse, coming back to that topic. Are there ways of using false memories to somehow lessen the pain that people have associated with memory?
Elizabeth Loftus: You know, I don't know about using false memories to do that. I did publish a paper not too long ago with my New Zealand collaborators on people's feelings about a particular drug that is being used to dampen traumatic memories. You give this drug to people after they have had a traumatic experience, it dampens their memory, and these drugs are in clinical trials to try to accomplish this. We're not giving the drug to people, we're just asking people if you had this kind of trauma, would you want to take this drug?
To my surprise, the majority of people say no, they don't want the drug, they are a little nervous about it, they are worried about the side-effects, they want to know what else would go with it besides the memory for the trauma. And this has kind of taught me that people really do seem to cherish their memories, even when these memories could be harmful. And certainly the reason for the drug is to reduce the possibility and probability of getting post-traumatic stress disorder, but despite that health benefit they still want to hang on to those memories.
Damien Carrick: It goes to wanting to own your own life and your own experiences, and maybe people wanting to somehow work through them without repressing them or putting them…
Elizabeth Loftus: Are you sure you want to use that word? [laughs]
Damien Carrick: I'll use your preferred term [laughs]…I'm not a psychologist.
Elizabeth Loftus: But you're right, people cherish their memories and they know they are part of their identity, but I guess my work has made me feel a little differently about memory because even though I cherish my memories, I also know how much fiction is already in there.
Damien Carrick: And you've said that some of that fiction is often a good coping mechanism, can help us look forward to life and deal with life better. What do you mean by that?
Elizabeth Loftus: One of the things about this malleable memory that we all have is we distort our own memories, without any external suggestion coming from a researcher or another witness or whatever. So there is evidence, research evidence showing that we remember our grades as better than they really were, that we voted in elections we didn't vote in, that we gave more to charity than we really did, that we had kids that walked and talked at an earlier age than they really did…
Damien Carrick: Oh we all have brilliant kids.
Elizabeth Loftus: Of course, and these prestige-enhancing memories maybe allow us to feel a little better about ourselves.
Damien Carrick: Elizabeth Loftus, wrapping up, I understand that your current focus is looking at some of the broader issues in the justice system and how memory or eyewitness accounts are dealing with those, and at the moment you're looking at the presence of a weapon and whether that can draw attention away from, say, a perpetrator's face. Is that something you're looking at at the moment?
Elizabeth Loftus: That phenomenon is called weapon focus, and I did some studies of weapon focus that show that it does draw attention away from other aspects of a scene, it results in reduced ability to remember those other details. And there does continue to be work going on on weapon focus. I'm more interested right now in trying to figure out which kinds of people are more susceptible to memory contamination, and conversely who is more resistant.
Damien Carrick: What have you found?
Elizabeth Loftus: Well, for example, people who have self-reported lapses in memory and attention have trouble remembering—you know, did I do that or did I just think about doing that—are more susceptible to memory contamination. People who are highly cooperative people tended to be easier to mislead with suggestive information. So these are just a few of the little bits and pieces coming out of that work on individual differences.
Damien Carrick: It will be great to hear about what you conclude. Professor Elizabeth Loftus, Professor of Law and Psychology at the University of California in Irvine, thank you very much for speaking to the Law Report.
Elizabeth Loftus: My pleasure, thank you.
Damien Carrick: That's the program for this week. Thanks to producer Erica Vowles and also to audio engineer Angela Grant. I'm Damien Carrick, thanks for your company, talk to you next week with more law.

REPRESSED MEMORY SYNDROME. Part 1.
From my readings on the subject it was the study of schizophrenics who suffered epilepsy that gave rise to the idea of using ECT to promote convulsions, as the fit alleviated the Schizoid's symptoms of auditory hallucinations, extreme anxiety, etc. However, ECT has been used more extensively to treat severe depression, probably because of the introduction of the anti-psychotics, eg Largactil in the '40's to treat the symptoms of Schizophrenia, being powerful (metabolic) depressants and hypnotics. However, anesthetizing the patient before treatment seems to run counter to it's very early use as a promoter of so called 'abreaction' or memory recall, firstly for 'shell shock' victims and later for epileptics, eg. as used by Arthur Yanov, author of the 'Primal Scream'.
Many years ago I read a very enlightening book, 'Battle for the Mind', written by William Sargent, a psychophysiologist who trated shell shock victims in a London hospital during the war. A common story was that on going 'over the top' out of the trench into a hail of gunfire, they would run around in circles as if totally confused, sometimes bashing their heads repeatedly against a tree, presumably to render themselves unconscious to escape the terror and present less of a target lying on the ground and behind the tree.
They would arrive at the hospital in a very uncommunicative, withdrawn state (paranoid) with no recollection of what had happened. There was no treatment they could be given, as this was obviously before the ant-psychotics arrived. I would guess that, not knowing what had happened on going 'over the top', many would be frightened that they faced a court martial and even a firing squad for cowardice but were too paranoid to broach the subject with hospital staff. Over the next few weeks they would become increasing anxious, withdrawn, not eating much and losing weight, sometimes becoming increasingly paralysed on one side of their body, including facial muscles. It was only when they reached a certain stage that they would be responsive to mild ECT given with no co-ercion whatsoever involved and no anesthetic. Upon receiving the shock they would 'abreact', go ino a state of convulsive terror in which they relived the events of that day, in vivid detail, that caused the 'sell shock'. They later described even smelling the cordite.
Amazingly all of the symptoms of 'shell shock' now went into reverse over the next few weeks. The calmed down, regained weight and the paralysis disappeared. Now KNOWING what had happened on that fateful day obviously was the secret of their cure. Ironically, this outcome would be almost impossible today.

Dunno why I bother writing this stuff. I explain the precise neurological, physological, mechanisms involved and it gets completely ignored, probably because no one is capable of understanding it. Multidisciplinary in a hyper mono disciplinary world of reductionism gone berserk. Why aren't the guest speakers required to make comments after all they are usually touting some book they've written.

REPRESSED MEMORY SYNDROME. Part 2
There is a lot of skepticism about 'repressed memory syndrome' today and an anti-psychotic would be given the patient thus lowering his basal metabolic rate with weight gain, not loss. It would seem that the patient's long term of BASAL metabolic rate (BMR) rate needs to rise the the level of his short term rate associated with the terror.
Neurons in those parts of the brain reacting to and recording the event would be ones only activated in 'fight or flight' and which fire at a very rapid rate, probably mediated by the neurotransmitter noradrenalin, so that the recall of the event is only accessible at a heightened metabolic rate, then 'copied and pasted' into parts of the brain that operate in a relaxed state. Neurons have both excitory and inhibitory synapses on them and I would hazard a guess that the inhibitory synapses are connected to the para-sympathetic nervous system and the excitory to the sympathetic. At a low metabolic rate the inhibitory synapses are firing, thus preventing the neurons depolarizing and promoting a recall. It is only when the voltage on the pre-synaptic cleft of the excitory synapse exceeds it's firing threshold (set by the 'event') that the neuron depolarizes. 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set ye free.' not possible when anesthetized, hence the poor outcome today in the treatment of depression, (unless of course it's something that one desperately wants to forget.)
Today with the use of antipsychotics drugs which depress or lower basal metabolic rate, hence the weight gain, such a gradual increase in basal metabolic rate until a memory recall could be initiated by mild ECT would be impossible and remain locked up in his or her mind. It might be memory of a serious car accident that one was involved in with no recall for some seconds or even minutes before the event and of the event itself. A partial memory when getting near the scene of the accident can trigger epileptic convulsion, no lesion in the brain necessary, with another amnesia block of the FIT to bury the memory of the accident even further, Then another fit later to bury memory of the first fit.
This is where Arthur Yanov "Primal Scream" enters the picture. He likened each fit to the layers in an onion. Induce a mild fit with a strobe light in a sympathetic environment, so that the patient remained fully conscious during the fit and he would recall the events of the previous fit. Later repeat this treatment and peel one or more layers of the onion, finally getting to the core, the memory of the accident and going to the scene of the accident itself to trigger the final recall.
No more fits. Yanov, like RD Laing and other great thinkers are now discredited by a drug culture that wants to use anti-convulsives and antipsychotics with there huge range of side effects

Well Im not ignoring your theory Mr Hill. Seems plausable. Details bit technical for me but many accounts of soldiers forgetting stressful or painful events for periods of time in more inaccesible neural planes. Plenty of evidence for that as ya say. yep probably better to uncover the truth in the long run. same principle with antidepressants with milder forms of depression?? doctors not really doing a favour sticking a pharmasuitical veil over ya head unless your really truely at risk. Alot of doctors medicating for their risk aversion/time limitations going on I reakon instead of actually finding out whats wrong. Is that the whole point? How can a doctors appointment do that? takes time. Should be pointing them in the right peoples, empowering them and get them research themselves as much as possible. truth sets us free as some bloke said. to be fair difficult area though. thanks for your contributions

Is this the push back that was bound to come in the wake of the Royal Commission?
crank :
26 Sep 2013 9:28:07am
Seren, I am convinced that Abbott will do something, or many things, to undermine the Royal Commission, lest it reveal the true extent and, crucially, the nature of Roman Catholic Church involvement in child abuse, and even more vitally, the role of the hierarchy, all the way through Australia and up to Ratzinger and Wojtyla, in suppressing knowledge of the abuses. Even if, as the article implies, the fix is already in (and who can doubt that, what with the Catholic Church being such a vital organ in social control in this country?)I think that he will prove a rather impetuous chap once he settles into power, and one who will not countenance any resistance to his Divinely Ordained Mission.

What an interesting program this was. I know of a family that has been severely traumatised by accusations of abuse which have been dredged up as a 'repressed memory', and which all other members of the family consider as nonsense. I also know of another family where the father (and later as grandfather) did attempt to abuse his teenage daughters and, later, granddaughters. False accusations like the former only go to trivialise serious cases like the latter.
The eyewitness experiments are extremely interesting, indicating how suggestible our minds can be.
Allan Gardiner :

It's not really known that the major cause for wrongful convictions is because of "eyewitness" testimony, for the simple reason that we can never be absolutely sure -- beyond all doubt whatsoever -- that each and every putative "eyewitness" was actually present at the time of the incident, even for a moment, or even if they were there for a time, that they were there at the particular time that they give testimony to, so memory, with the verve of any vested vagaries, can just take a back seat and wait its turn, because we must first and foremost focus on whether said "eyewitness" testimony is bona fide.
We must never forget what occurred concerning the Central Park Jogger case, where five young teenagers all confessed to having assaulted and raped a woman, and they all implicated each other. Four of the five teenagers officially confessed and the fifth one made verbal admissions but refused to sign a confession or to make one on videotape. They were all tried and convicted for the crime and served their sentences fully. Another person later confessed to the crime and his DNA was said to have confirmed his culpability. Five out of five wrongful convictions for the one incident[assault and rape] is not bad odds at all for the prosecution considering that none of the five convicted teenagers were even proven "eyewitnesses" as innocent bystanders, let alone as culprits. That any of these five teenagers, or all of them, may have been charged and/or convicted for other crimes of this nature before, or even after, has no bearing whatsoever on the particular incident in question, unless of course they were also "fitted up" for any or all of those extra incidents but cited.
DNA per se must never be considered as being a panacea to prove culpability or otherwise, not when it's so easy to plant a sample of such, remove or destroy one or several, or when putative experts haggle over a certain DNA's provenance, as often they do.
Quite apart from any detected corruption or incompetence on the part of lawyers and jury members, jurists too must not be left out of the mix, as evidenced by the conviction of a former justice of the Federal Court of Australia, Marcus Einfeld, who strove to attempt implicating a non-existent namesake of a long-deceased person as having been the driver behind the wheel of his vehicle when it was detected exceeding a speed limit.
It would not have surprised me in the very least had Einfeld also chosen to swear on oath that he, as an "eyewitness", was seated in the front passenger seat right next to said non-existent person when his vehicle was detected by that speed camera.
First focus on the dubiety/veracity of its being "eyewitness" testimony, then, and only then, proceed in giving any possibly-attendant vagaries of memory all due consideration.

Damien, Love the program, regular listener. As a Psychologist, the subject of repressed memory is of great interest to me. However, as I was listening to a replay of the program at 5.30 am on Wednesday 25th I was also reading an article in New Scientist 14 September 2013 on Future Law and the annual Gikii Law Conference which whimsically tries to anticipate the impacts of new technologies. Somehow the two topics seemed to coalesce in my mind.

For listeners who still think eyewitness testimony is reliable, Google "selective attention test". There are quite a few examples of tests you can try.
Sadly, the poor quality of eyewitness testimony is what you might call the gorilla in the room.

We can see a new wave of 'False Memory' agit-prop percolating up from the depths now that Abbott and his Merry Wedding Party have been safely elected. All those solemn 'promises' they made in order to garner the votes of Austraya's thriving bigot sub-cultures and other, less toxic, patsies, like 'towing the boats back and to Hell with Indonesia', or 'Barnarnaby' Joyce's pledge to stop selling off the farm, or Macfarlane's promise to listen to the opponents of Coal Seam Gas etc (many, many, more to come)have become inoperative, suddenly (instantaneously almost), and to no-one but the sub-idiotic's surprise, disappeared down the 'memory-hole'. What's more, as with Abbott's 'pledge' to spend his first week in office in an indigenous community, these promises never happened. Do you understand, they were never made. You have a false memory, no doubt planted by all those 'Leftwingers' in the ABC (that one really breaks me up)and all those filthy, inner-urban, latte-sipping, chardonnay-quaffing elites who hate Austraya so much.

comments: Karrick's interview of Dr. Elizabeth Loftus online at abc.net demonstrates what can happen when reporters don't fact-check their stories.
Loftus tells Karrick, "Well, there is a case of one man who had been convicted of a brutal murder. His conviction was overturned for technical reasons because prejudicial photographs had been used and introduced in a way in which the higher court decided was unfair to the defendant. He was granted a new trial. I came into the case and testified about the sort of shabby eyewitness testimony and what factors were problematic, and he was acquitted at the second trial. So that was a very special case for me."
Indeed, it was a special case--as abcnews reported in 2010. The defendant, Tim Hennis, was convicted of the 1985 triple murder based on DNA evidence found at the crime scene.

A bloke once told me when he was a kid he mashed the end of his toes up in a slasher. Stupid fella says he hopped back on his machine and kept driving and only stopped when his foot started hurtn and saw the blood seapn out his thrashed up KT26's a short time later. He reakons looking back he knew at the time he was shocked but for some reason drove on. Stupidity?, repression? denial? or shock? dunno... but does seem possible in some cases if have same level of shock and no physical evidence, or reminder, or memory cue of the event some might forget or isolate,or be isolated, or not believe, or not want to believe, the memory for some period of time? Dunno how it works but heaps of accounts of war stories about same thing with adults.

This was my first try at MMF. My daughter picked out 3 things she likedon different cakes on Peggys "New England Coture Cakes" site and I combined them for her cake. Trying this with nothing but pictures having never worked with MMF or any fondant before has given me a profound respect for the work some of you are able to do. Much respect and thanks to Peggy at N.E.C.C. !!

Beware of the porter steak. Way too salty & I'm not even sensitive to salt. Sent it back & the second one was still salty, despite "minimal seasonings." Not worth it... other entrees were just okay.
Dinner was great; be prepared to spend around $60+ per person. Tony even greeted at the hostess desk with a very warm welcome. Steaks were cooked to perfection, and the mussels were awesome.

Does anyone with a baby with silent reflux use infacol as well as rhuger? I used rhuger for my first child but doesn't seem to be helping as much woth number 2 I just like that was its natural, rhuger has helped a bit but he's spilling up more now for some reason (10weeks old) advise appreciated ☺
Hi guys how do you feed your reflux babies? Do you find it best to let the baby drink the milk in 2-3 goes or do you find it best to have larger 20 minutes breaks?
Gastric Reflux Support Network NZ looking for answers
Hi everyone - there are more questions to the page that you might be able to share your experience around.
Hi. Have a question for any parents who have used zantac to control silent reflux. Baby is responding really well to it but almost 3 weeks in it seems to be causing a bit if constipation. Have just started using coloxyl drops for that but I suspect it is making the reflux worse , has anyone noticed this with these two medications ? And are there any alternatives that you have found work well for constipation ? Baby is 8 weeks old . Thanks in advance 😊
Hi all. My lil(literally) 9 weeks old bubba born 2.1kgs at 37 weeks *iugr baby* has been diagnosed with GORD and has cyanotic/apnea episodes from it. He is on omeprazole, gaviscon and pepti junior but all these doesnt seem to help much and he still has these cyanotic episodes randomly (awake or asleep). He was admitted to the kids ward at waitakere hospital when he was 2 weeks old. Hubs and i resorted in taking turns in staying up taking care of him at night as he needs constant supervision. These episodes happen very silently and randomly so we dont know when it will happen or when it happens.. We also have 2 older toddlers.. anyway anyone else went through/going through the same thing? Should we bring bubs back to his gp? how do you get seen by a specialist?
... And more posts to the page. :-)
Hi there, does anyone have experience/success with getting their baby allergy tested? I went to a herbalist on recommendation of a friend. He tested me for intolerances and as a result I am now on a strict dairy/gluten/yeast/egg/soy and corn free diet ($430 poorer and starving...the herbs have done nothing). I've been dairy and gluten free since miss 3 months was diagnosed with GERD at 3 weeks but I'm sure there is more to it as her poos are full of mucous and she is still in pain dispite being medicated. Any suggestions? :)
What is someone called who specialises in GERD? What kind of specialist are they? I think it's time for us to delve further into this issue that my 3.5 year old is dealing with. Recommendations appreciated. We are CHCH based. :) Will obviously go through my GP but nice to know if there is anyone in particular who is great? Thanks in advance!
Hi there, I have a three month daughter who has a NG tube in due to reflux and being lactose intolerant and not feeding. My daughter is currently on prescription formula as there was still lactose in my milk even though I had cut out all dairy. She is more comfortable and settled now but its still a battle to get her to take her formula, she had associated drinking with a sore tummy so we had to put tube in as last resort. I offer her the bottle first at each feed (currently trialling Dr Browns bottles) and give her a big break when she starts fussing and then try again, what she doesn't drink goes down the tube. I'm wanting to hear from anyone who's had a similar experience and any success stories, what worked etc. Thanks

My 3 month old baby girl has reflux and is very spilly. Just lately she's started bringing back up lots more of her feed, I'd say at least 1/2 of it every time. She's EBF and I wondered whether it was normal or if there's anything I can do to her get keep the milk down. Not just for her, but as we know, breastmilk is precious!
Hi there . Have a 7 week old who is breastfeed with silent reflux. We have just started zantac a week ago and it seems to be starting to work but still have had some bad moments where she is clearly in a lot of pain. Fingers crossed it will improve things. I discussed going dairy free with my gp but she wasn't convinced this would have any positive effect however I would like to try so as not to rely only on meds as baby has not put on any weight in the last week . Can anyone recommend online resources or books that provide info on a healthy dairy free diet plan for breastfeeding mums. Or lists of all foods to avoid that aren't obvious such as milk, cheese etc. Also has anyone also had nil or minimal weight gain on zantac ? She put on a kilo in the first 5 weeks and then just stopped despite good feeds and being otherwise happy when reflux isn't causing pain. She doesn't vomit either so confused over the weight issue as seems to have slowed prior to starting zantac. Thanks heaps in advance as this has me pulling my hair out almost 😕

Hi everyone I'm looking for some advice for my toddler. He is now 2 years old and was a reflux baby and with the help of medicine he came right at about 6 months old . Ever since I started solids training at 6 months old food has been a nightmare and it's only just taken me til now to wonder whether his food aversions have anything to do with the reflux as a baby? He has never eaten fruit or veges voluntarily and I have to sneak them into to foods and even then he sometimes catches on - how can you know you don't like something if you've never tried it ? He basically wants to live on bread and crackers and hot chips, he won't eat most meat except chicken, won't eat pasta, I have tried everyone for help and no one knows what to do as I've tried everything and it's doing My head in. If this is connected to his reflux as a baby what can I do ? Sorry if this isn't the right place but every meal is a battle - I don't yell, I'm calm, I sit with him and feed him the same meals as me and he just says no :( I want to wean him off formula completely (have already cut the formula right down) but at this stage it's the only way I can get any nutrients and vitamins in him. And no he won't touch yoghurt or smoothies or juices - only water :(

Hi I have an 8 week old prem (6 weeks early so 2 weeks corrected) suffering from reflux. She is exclusively breastfeed and the dr has prescribed gaviscon. I am having real difficulty in getting her to take it. I have tried syringing it and also tried to feed via a bottle (she had never had a bottle for anything before) but she is just refusing it or spitting it back out. Does anybody have any tips for getting bubs to take the medicine?

Hi there, im new to this page and I've just found out my 12week old has gastric reflux. We are currently going through a growth spurt and she appears to be in more pain from the extra milk intake, has anyone experienced this? I'm thinking about taking her to the hospital to get some pain medication....
Hi all, Just wondering if any of you have had a similar experience. My 7 month old is on omeprazole 2ml morning and night. For a few nights we have accidentally forgotten to give it to him... And then the last 2 nights he has screamed blue murder for hours. He would go down ok but then wake and cry for hours like he is in pain. Nothing will console him. Its the only thing we have done differently - has anyone has a similar experience??? Thanks! Bec
Hey! Day 4 on gaviscon for our 4 week son and he's constipated any suggestions to get him going?
Hallucinations on Omeprazole!? ... Forgive me if this has been discussed recently or at all (probably not I'm guessing) I was active on this page when my daughter was just a baby with terrible reflux. She was on omeprazole back then until about 8-9 months old. She is back on it as of a week and a half ago just to trial whether her frequent cough and waking in the night could be reflux back at age 3.5!!!!.... Anyway, for the last 4-5 nights she has woken terrified that there are worms in her bed and on her body. (It is not a nightmare or a night terror) last night was the worst night yet! Awake from 1-5am with the most frightening hallucinations yet. Worms and flies all through the bed, on the ceiling and even as I consoled her she screamed that they were all over my face :( it was heartbreaking. Even with all the lights on she could see them. I could go on describing this but I won't. My question is has anyone's child or you yourself experienced the very rare (but documented) side effect of hallucinations? Needless to say I am stopping the meds today.
Please tell me someone is in the same boat... Our son can't sleep for longer then a few minutes at a time without gagging on his reflux and waking himself up. Normally the only way for him to get any sleep is to sale him and hold him vertical against our chests. He is on Gaviscon, Omeprazole (losec) and we've just dropped Ranitidine (Zantac) and added Domperidone. Nothing so far is helping to resolve this sleep issue. His bed is on a steep incline but often the moment you put him in it he starts spluttering and throat clearing loudly until he wakes. He's 9 weeks and I've been dairy free breast feeding for about a month. He has now started Neocate formula. Anyone else have a baby who can't stay asleep because of reflux? Any tips?

You don't mention what you are taking it for. I had fioricet and fiorinal for migraine headaches and I would take 2 every 4-6 hours... until I had rebound headaches all the time just from taking it and took them about 3-4 hours apart but mine did not have the codeine so I would really be careful because you are dealing with an opiate and a barbiturate. Unless you have a specific problem I wouldn't mess with those.
- They are very addictive and Dr.s just don't prescribe them for a long period - Mine were bad Dr.s so that shouldn't count but I should have know when I could get them for 15 years but most of that time I was not addicted and took them only when I had a bad headache - they are not necessary for a stress headache. Good Luck,.

Pectic homogalacturonan masks abundant sets of xyloglucan epitopes in plant cell walls

BMC Plant Biology 2008, 8:60 doi:10.1186/1471-2229-8-60Published: 22 May 2008
Molecular probes are required to detect cell wall polymers in-situ to aid understanding of their cell biology and several studies have shown that cell wall epitopes have restricted occurrences across sections of plant organs indicating that cell wall structure is highly developmentally regulated. Xyloglucan is the major hemicellulose or cross-linking glycan of the primary cell walls of dicotyledons although little is known of its occurrence or functions in relation to cell development and cell wall microstructure.
Using a neoglycoprotein approach, in which a XXXG heptasaccharide of tamarind seed xyloglucan was coupled to BSA to produce an immunogen, we have generated a rat monoclonal antibody (designated LM15) to the XXXG structural motif of xyloglucans. The specificity of LM15 has been confirmed by the analysis of LM15 binding using glycan microarrays and oligosaccharide hapten inhibition of binding studies. The use of LM15 for the analysis of xyloglucan in the cell walls of tamarind and nasturtium seeds, in which xyloglucan occurs as a storage polysaccharide, indicated that the LM15 xyloglucan epitope occurs throughout the thickened cell walls of the tamarind seed and in the outer regions, adjacent to middle lamellae, of the thickened cell walls of the nasturtium seed. Immunofluorescence analysis of LM15 binding to sections of tobacco and pea stem internodes indicated that the xyloglucan epitope was restricted to a few cell types in these organs. Enzymatic removal of pectic homogalacturonan from equivalent sections resulted in the abundant detection of distinct patterns of the LM15 xyloglucan epitope across these organs and a diversity of occurrences in relation to the cell wall microstructure of a range of cell types.
These observations support ideas that xyloglucan is associated with pectin in plant cell walls. They also indicate that documented patterns of cell wall epitopes in relation to cell development and cell differentiation may need to be re-considered in relation to the potential masking of cell wall epitopes by other cell wall components.

Family Income Benefit (FIB) may sound like a government benefit but it is a little-known life insurance product that can cost less and pay out more than traditional policies.
For most people life insurance means just one thing, a lump sum that pays out on death. However, FIB policies offer a payout in the form of a tax-free income every year until the end of the policy. On average FIB is 35% cheaper than a normal policy and can potentially pay out more. It also avoids the tax and charges normal with investing a lump sum.
It is an excellent choice in these cash-strapped times and also means that the beneficiary cannot blow the money in one go, crucial if someone is leaving their payout to ensure their children can be properly cared for.
Matt Morris of LifeSearch says, "Few consumers know about this product and they are missing out on a product which ensures dependents are cared for and offers very good value for money too. It can be linked to school fees or the cost of home help for the surviving partner if they have children that need to be cared for. The money continues to pay out until the end of the policy, which is normally when the children reach adulthood. It is a cheap and easy way to protect dependents, and a shame people do not know about it."
