Study: Personality shift might be cure for depression
There are 22 comments on the The Santa Fe New Mexican story from Dec 11, 2009, titled Study: Personality shift might be cure for depression. In it, The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that:Antidepressant medications taken by roughly 7 percent of American adults effect profound personality changes in many patients with depression, far beyond simply lifting the veil of sadness, a study has found a ' raising the possibility that a basic shift in personality is what drives the cure.

The links between antidepressants and violence are well documented.
Researchers from Cardiff University in Britain and the Cochrane Centre examined data on Paxil -- or its generic form, paroxetine -- from GlaxoSmithKline, legal cases and emails from nearly 1,400 patients who responded to a British TV program on antidepressants. The researchers found that 60 out of 9,219 people taking Paxil -- 0.65 percent -- experienced a "hostility event," compared to 20 out of 6,455 patients taking placebo, or 0.31 percent.
This finding helps explain why school shootings are almost always conducted by children who are taking antidepressants. We also know that SSRIs cause children to disconnect from reality. When you combine that with a propensity for violence, you create a dangerous recipe for school shootings and other adolescent violence.

After the last election the Republicans went into depression, took Paxil and this explains their weird behavior now.
Perhaps a frontal or reartal lobotomy might be the answer to these childrens' problems.

Yeah, right... OK, let them keep trying to fix spiritual human flaws by administering physical-psichotropic humanly devised 'cures'.
We all know how well, long and permanent they 'work', don't we?? can't help but think of that cop-killer; 2-3 cops?, the cycle shop owner and the city/county/state? employee gunned down in ABQ 2-3 years ago..
Sure it works
just a thought

On the one hand, the idea that anti-depressants might cause a beneficial change in personality is a hopeful idea. Lots of people suffer from depression that virtually destroys their entire lives. Many of these people do have personality characteristics, such as shyness, that probably exascerbate the sense of depression. If anti-depressants can change those sorts of personality characteristics, it seems reasonable that some of the sense of depression should be lifted. As for people getting violent on anti-depressants, this could be a danger. But the idea of banning anti-depressants and condemning those with depression to a life of misery seems a bit of an over-reaction at best and cruel at worst. There has to be a happy medium. Maybe some kind of regimen of observation can be set up to try and get a hint if someone is having such a reaction. But depression needs to be dealt with through whatever means are available. Depression is a terrible thing to have to live with.

Changes in diet and exercise can help with depression.

Some medications can cause more problems than they are worth.

The mental health / Pharmacutical industry caused drug abuse.
The mental health industry is making a diagnoses on the physiological differences between the so called "mentally ill" and the "normal" without knowing what a proper and healthy chemical "balance" look like?" There is no test according to the APA but yet they manufactured the illness and provided the addicting drugs including to children less then threee years old and then used Reglan(A-anti-psychotic drug) on infants less then one week old for spitting up.
If we respect metabolic changes based on daily dietary habits, weight gain / loss, terms of the survival of the organisms as a person age along with physical conditioning, physical illness, electrolyte level, gender differences , body temperature, I don't see where the Mental Health and Counseling Industry could conform to any consistency in data with consideration to the above to state a person has a mental disease or illness based on chemical imbalance.
Besides, the mental health psychiatric diagnoses isn't even part of standard medical procedure known as the medical model in which all doctors are trained and is the only branch of medicine operating completely on political decisions and hearsay.
If an orthopedic surgeon operated on a patient without the aid of an X-ray, he would be working at the car wash the next day.
No Test for chemical imbalance
There Are No tests for "Chemical Imbalances"
"The hypothetical disturbances of neurochemical function that are said to underlie "mental illness" are just that: hypothetical. No experiment has ever shown that anyone has an "imbalance" of any neurotransmitters or any other brain chemicals. Nor could any conceivable experiment demonstrate the existence of a "chemical imbalance," simply because no one, least of all the biopsychiatrists, has the slightest idea what a proper and healthy chemical "balance" would look like."
"...the views and beliefs of biopsychiatry have nothing to do with the answers to scientific questions in any case: the hunt for biological "causes" of "mental illness" is an entirely fallacious enterprise in the first place; the non- existence of data to support its assertions is quite beside the point."
"The latest edition of one pharmacology text has this to say about the status of depression as a disease: "Despite extensive efforts, attempts to document the metabolic changes in human subjects predicted by these [biological] hypotheses have not, on balance, provided consistent or compelling corroboration." This is a long-winded way of admitting that not even a scrap of evidence supports the idea that depression results from a "chemical imbalance." Yet patients are told every day - by their doctors, by the media, and by drug company advertising - that it is a proven scientific fact that depression has a known biochemical origin. It follows directly that millions of Americans are being lied to by their doctors; and people surely can't give informed consent for drug treatment when what they're being "informed" by is a fraud.... To sum up: there is no evidence whatsoever to support the view that "mental illness" is biochemical in origin; in other words, things like "Unipolar Disorder" and "Attention Deficit Disorder" simply do not exist."

Not always, especially with major depressive disorder and/or dysthymic disorder, which is a chronic, long lasting form of depression sharing many symptoms with... and sometimes co-existing with major depressive disorder.
Try spending 2, 3 or 5 years in the pits of despair, feeling no pleasure at all and fix that with a little walking, change in diet or something like that. Yeah right.

If someone is suffering from melancholy, I suggest they take up new aims in life and live every day in life as though it is a great day. Look forward to waking up in the morning and look forward to laying down to sleep knowing tomorrow will be another positive day. Read success God's way by Dr. Charles Stanley.
If someone is depressed over injustice that may never be restored, I suggest you turn it over to the authorities(if you can) and turn it over in your heart and soul to God. If you are someone who has been drugged and sexually assaulted, as we are seeing more of these days, and you can't act because of such things as it took too many years to remember, or the cops and court people were involved, turn it over to God and let vengeance be the Lords. Maybe someone will be directed by God to vindicate you. I pray this for all in the name of Jesus Christ amen!

For someone suffering from melancholy, I suggest they start living every day with new aims in life. Wake up every morning with the idea that they are a step closer in their goals and at the end of the day they will be even closer and enjoying every day. And go to sleep knowing in their heart that tomorrow will be even better. Try reading Success Gods way by Dr Charles Stanley.
If someone is depressed because of some injustice that they can do nothing about, I suggest they turn it over to the authorities and or turn it over to God in their heart.
Some may not be able to act legally to something like a sexual assault because it took too many years to remember due to being drugged, as happens more often these days. Turn that over to God and God will find someone in law enforcement, maybe the courts, to help you or vindicate you. But also turn it over to God in your heart like he says(believe He will act when you ask and butt out and wait on God).The Bible says wait on the lord. God I ask this for all that this applies in the name of your son Jesus, amen. Bill

Personality shift equals "attitude adjustment".
Since: Apr 09
United States
#16 Jan 27, 2010
Attitude is the alignment of our value system. Philosophy is found inside of this value system that I would prefer to call attitude.
If you take on the challenge of curing people psychologically you mmust address their philosophy. It is not imperative to have a thorough understanding of all the different philosophies. But a therapist must understand their patients personal thought process before forging a plan to cure the person.
Some people think that they just are who they are and do not realize that they have adopted their philosophy and they have the ability to adopt a different one. The additude must be challenged in many cases.

The profound changes of the personality from anti-depressant and psychotropic drugs is a large part of the increase in homosexuality. Those individual that were denied the freedom of choice. The loss of artist, musicians and writers are another example of the profound personality changes from the use of the mind medications.

Federal programs that enhance the theory of depression or mental illness like the Disability payments or IDEA for payment to the school system would make a lot of people sell their soul (if they ever had one) for the almighty buck especially in hard times. Those administrating the program would declare everyone with a bogus disorder.
The pharmaceutical / mental health industry is a threat to the core of our democracy. They are political and enhanced themselves on the Republic Ticket of corruption.

The personality of a person when depressed is different from their normal personality. A change in a different personality from being depressed might get the person confused of what he/she really is. Although there are some who does have a change in their personality when they are taking antidepressants. It said that it can also cause brain defects if you are using Paxil for a long time.

http://inhousegeneric.com is an honest and genuine online pharmacy. We were not sure at first because this was our first order of generic medication from this pharmacy. Although it takes a bit long because it got stuck with custom, we are completely sastisfied with this online pharmacy.
You won't be disappointed with them. Their customer service is great too although they need to improve their phone system a bit more. If you need to call them just be sure to call during their working hours. Other than that we highly and sincerely recommend this online pharmacy to everyone.

/// Tony Bates on Skype Becoming the Virtual Kitchen Table (Video)
Microsoft closed the acquisition of Skype eight months ago for a whopping $8.5 billion. And, today, at D10 , Skype boss Tony Bates said the integration of the two companies is going well , and that he's busy coming up with ways to serve billions of monthly users . Bates talked a lot about how he was investing in mobile, including phones and tablets, to reach his aggressive growth targets, as well as, solutions for the living room. During the interview and following Q&A session, Bates repeatedly answered questions about how Skype hasn't — or has — changed since the merger. One thing he said won't change is that he'll still have the opportunity to build the service on non-Microsoft products, such as Android and iOS. But he was clear about what he wasn't open to — creating it so users could access Skype with people using different video-calling services. "It's critical to what we do," he said. Watch those highlights and others in this video: [ See post to watch video ]

Myth vs Fact on bailout compromise
posted at 12:51 pm on September 28, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
A source close to House Republicans has put out a Myth vs Fact rundown of the bailout compromise, announced early this morning. This may answer some questions that have come up in the comments over the last few days:
Myth: Windfall for ACORN.
Fact: The Frank-Dodd proposal created an affordable housing slush fund and directed 20 percent of net benefits from the program to be directed to ACORN-type organizations. The proposed compromise does not include any affordable housing slush fund and directs all net benefits back to the Treasury to pay down the national debt.
Myth: Tax increase on financial industry.
Fact: The proposed compromise imposes NO tax on the financial services industry. The proposed compromise simply requires a proposal from the Administration to recoup any losses after five years.
Fact: The proposed compromise includes tax cuts for struggling community banks.
Myth: Blank check for $700 billion with little accountability.
Fact: In general, the Treasury Secretary is limited to purchasing up to $250 billion outstanding at any one time. If the Treasury needs to use another $100 billion, the President must certify this action and report to Congress. Further spending requires Congressional action.
Myth: Treasury plan is the only option available.
Fact: Treasury is given multiple options to deal with the current economic crisis, including insurance, public/private auctions, loan guarantees, and direct support to financial institutions.
Fact: Further, Treasury is MANDATED to create an insurance program (Section 102) that protects the taxpayers and requires companies that wish to participate in this program to have some skin in the game by paying risk-based premiums.
Myth: The taxpayer is not adequately protected.
Fact: The proposed compromise includes strong taxpayer protections. Treasury's proposal had minimal oversight to protect taxpayer dollars. The proposed compromise enhanced the oversight structure by creating a Financial Stability Oversight Board, a Special Inspector General, and a Congressional Oversight Panel.
All AIG-type deals require mandatory equity interest in order to provide taxpayers with potential future benefits. All auctions require a percentage of equity interest based on participation in the program.
Requires the Secretary to develop regulations/guidelines necessary to prohibit or, in specific cases, manage any conflicts of interest with respect to contractors, advisors, and asset managers.
Myth: The taxpayer does not benefit from Treasury bailouts.
Fact: The proposed compromise (Section 113) requires mandatory equity interest in scenarios like AIG. The proposed compromise also allows Treasury to take an equity interest in the program generally.
Myth: Treasury will never use the insurance option.
Fact: Treasury is mandated (Section 102) to establish an insurance program and set risk-based premiums. This will protect taxpayers by requiring the beneficiaries of the insurance program to pay risk-based premiums. Treasury further shall collect premiums mandatory equity interest in scenarios like AIG. The proposed compromise also allows Treasury to take an equity interest in the program generally.
Will this resolve all of the concerns conservatives have in this plan? No, but it does address some of the most contentious issues. It also shows how much influence that the House Republicans had on the final draft, and for that they can thank John McCain for his intervention.

What I think the climate movement needs right now.
Lately I've spent a lot of time reading.
I admit, sometimes I've been absorbed in the latest Game of Thrones book -- but I've also been staying up late researching the great social movements of the last century. With the climate crisis looming, I've been trying to hone in on their recipe for success.
Of course, there isn't one single recipe -- but I couldn't help but notice that they all shared a key ingredient: visual media. Photos and videos that could cut through the noise, tell a powerful story, and poignantly speak truth to power.
Think about it: the image of Rosa Parks on the bus in Montgomery. Or the video of the "Unknown Rebel" who blocked the tanks in Tiennamen Square. Or the photos of the suffragettes, standing bravely in front of the White House, sending President Wilson a direct and unignorable message.
Just like past movements, the climate movement needs iconic visuals. And that's exactly what Project Survival Media is poised to create.
But I'll be honest: we can't create those images if we don't have any money. I currently work three nights a week as a waitress so I can pay my bills help get Project Survival Media off the ground. I wish I didn't have to. All I want to do is throw myself into PSM, and help the climate movement break through before it's too late.
Project Survival Media is ready to scale up. We've learned a ton in the last few years: we've covered the biggest climate actions around the world, provided critical footage and photos to tell the story of this movement, and built a model that can empower youth on the front lines of the climate crisis.
It's been an incredible journey so far, and now we're ready to go big. Really big. We have the frameworks in place to train hundreds of youth journalists to create incredible visual media -- media that can catalyze a wave of climate action around the world. We could be approaching a tipping point for PSM's impact, but the only thing stopping us is a lack of funds.
So here's the unvarnished pitch: I'm asking you to join 99 other people and invest 50 cents a day in Project Survival Media. If 100 donors invest $15/month in the next year, we'll have $18,000 to work with every year. $18,000 would not be a lot of money for an average non-profit organization -- most of it would get lost in overhead. But we're still a scrappy upstart and we'll make your donations count.
I'm not a big fan of soliciting donations. Just writing this letter was draining for me.
But I believe, fiercely, in the mission and the potential of Project Survival Media. If you do too, click here to start your monthly donation.
So many thanks in advance.
With lots of love,
Shadia Fayne Wood for the PSM Team (Madeline, my co-director, and Ekta, Gautham, Ritu, Usha, Kaushik, & Pratik from Team India; and Caroline, Wilson, Joe, Jacqueline, & Dalmas from Team Kenya)
P.S. We just whipped up this image to drive the point home -- can you click here to share it on Facebook or here to share it on Twitter. Thanks!

Tottenham are giving serious consideration to making a formal bid for Ajax playmaker Christian Eriksen during the January transfer window.
The Dane is one of the most coveted young players in Europe and has been followed by the north London club for some time.
When Spurs officials were concluding a deal for Jan Vertonghen last summer, it is believed they also discussed the future of Eriksen, 20, with their Ajax counterparts. At the time, Ajax would not let Eriksen leave but circumstances have changed. Eriksen has declined to sign a new deal and, with his contract due to expire at the end of next season, Ajax are weighing up their options.
Spurs believe Ajax would now be more open to offers for Eriksen, who is valued at about £20million.
Eriksen said in a recent interview his dream was to play for Barcelona but he would be unlikely to gain a regular place in what is probably Europe's strongest team. Unlike in recent winter transfer windows,
Spurs are willing to spend. Andre Villas-Boas's principal target remains Willian, of Shakhtar Donetsk, but the Ukrainians believe they have a chance to challenge for the Champions League and want to keep the Brazilian attacker until the end of the campaign.
Similarly, Joao Moutinho, for whom Spurs bid £22m in the summer, seems to have drifted out of their reach, as Porto have no need to sell following the departure of Hulk to Zenit St Petersburg in the autumn.
Villas-Boas is confident that funds will be released in January and bidding seriously for Eriksen would send a strong signal of the club's determination to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Spurs need to reach Europe's main club competition to improve their chances of hanging on to Gareth Bale but the Welshman is likely to be missing again when they face Swansea on Sunday having, prior to today, not trained this week. There was better news regarding Mousa Dembele, who took part in sessions despite concerns about his hip complaint.

Current Law
If you are suffering an incurable illness and in constant pain it is not legal to get a doctor to help you die. In NSW a person helping you die is liable to 10 years in prison. (Section 31c of the Crimes Act.)
You can seek palliative care, decide to withhold or withdraw medical treatment, receive increased doses of pain relief that hasten your death, stop eating and drinking, be put in terminal sedation, or even commit suicide on your own.
First, palliative care provides relief from pain and other distressing and uncomfortable symptoms, and it also supplies emotional and spiritual support and guidance. Palliative care is valuable but cannot relieve the pain and suffering of all dying patients.
Palliative Care Australia "recognize and respect the fact that some people rationally and consistently request deliberate ending of life."
Second, you could ask your doctor to withhold or withdraw medical treatment that you do not want. In fact you can insist on it.
The withholding or withdrawal of life support for compassionate reasons used to be called 'passive euthanasia'. It is now called 'appropriate care' and is widely practised. But when do you decide?
Third, you could ask your doctor to increase the dosage of medication designed for pain relief even though that is likely to hasten your death. This is legal, provided the stated intention is to relieve pain, not to cause death. It used to be called 'indirect euthanasia'. Not all doctors will agree to act in this way.
Fourth, you can simply stop eating and drinking, though this still leaves you with a long and very unpleasant death.
Fifth, some hospitals now offer 'sedation to unconsciousness' or 'continuous deep sedation'. The patient dies over time from starvation or dehydration, but is unconscious. This is sometimes called 'slow euthanasia'.
And sixth, you could commit suicide, usually a lonely and violent death. On average, each week in Australia four people over the age of 70 kill themselves by hanging, shooting, or gassing themselves, jumping off a building, or drinking weed killer.
Why a peaceful assisted death is illegal while all these much worse alternatives are legally available is a mystery only politicians could explain.

YOUR GUIDED HOLIDAY BOOKING The Travel Corporation (2011) Pte Ltd is the 'Sales Company'; Trafalgar Tours Limited – Great Britain and Europe Holidays and Destination America Inc – North, Central and South America Holidays are the 'Operators'; collectively these companies are referred to as 'Trafalgar'. Your agreement is with Trafalgar and a contract is formed when you make a reservation with us that we accept. The invalidity of any provisions herein shall not affect the validity of any other provisions. The agreement shall be construed as though the Disclaimer: Travel is personal and each individual's goals and experiences may differ. Trafalgar will not be bound by, or liable for, any description, representation or warranty made by any independent third party sales representative, Travel Agent, or other person or entity relating to any holiday offered by Trafalgar. Departure Date: The departure date is the date indicated on the Trafalgar confirmation. WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE GUIDED HOLIDAY PRICE Inter-city Travel: By private motorcoach, trains and ferries (see itineraries). Air Transportation: Not included unless otherwise indicated in the price panel. Guided Holiday: By air-conditioned luxury motorcoaches. Please note that on some Regional holidays and London sightseeing, motorcoaches without toilet facilities are used. If due to circumstances beyond our control coaches are used otherwise than as advertised a refund of $10 per person will be made. Hotel Accommodations: Prices are per person, based on two persons sharing a two-bed room with private bath or shower. Triple rooms may be available on selected holidays in limited numbers. Triple rooms will often feature one foldaway bed plus one double bed. Three adults may find these rooms small and suitcase space slightly restricted. They are generally more suitable for two adults and one child. Quad room may also be available. Every effort has been made to reserve two-bed rooms; however, on some occasions, rooms with one bed may be the only choice available. These rooms will be allocated to single travelers and couples first; other rooms may feature a single bed and rollaway bed, murphy bed or sleeper sofa. A limited number of twin-shared rooms are available with our Guaranteed Room Share service. Special room requests (smoking/non-smoking, adjacent, connecting or lowerfloor rooms, as examples) must be made at time of booking. Special room requests are not guaranteed and are based on availability at time of check-in. Many hotels are 100% smoke-free, including guest rooms, restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms, public spaces, and employee work areas. Smoking in a non-smoking room may result in a fine. Substitute hotels may be used sometimes. We try to use hotels of similar standard. Hotel Frequent Traveler program points are not earned with hotels on Trafalgar vacations. Free WiFi Internet Service: Complimentary WiFi service is available in many Trafalgar hotel guestrooms and/or the public areas of most hotels. In most countries complimentary WiFi is also provided on-board the coaches. The WiFi on the coaches uses the mobile phone network and as a result the connection will be slower than standard broadband and at times may not be available. In some countries this service will not be available. WiFi is not available on City Breaks, or when main Trafalgar coach is not being used such as transfer coaches. For further information please refer to the Trafalgar website. Travel Director: Guided holidays are conducted in English by a professional Travel Director. In the unlikely event that there are fifteen guests or less travelling on a departure, Trafalgar reserves the right to operate this departure on an individual basis with private transfers and individual arrangements. Please refer to the individual guided holiday. Pre or post itinerary extensions are operated on a locally hosted basis using regular English-speaking Local Expert services. Meals: Meals are included as detailed on itineraries. Sightseeing Excursions, entrance fees and English-speaking guide (when required) are included as detailed in the itinerary pages. Transfers Between airports, hotels, railway stations and piers are included as indicated on each guided holiday itinerary (please see 'Airport Transfers' section for further details). There will be no refund for missed or unused airport transfers. Porterage: Baggage handling of one suitcase per person, at each guided holiday hotel and porter service at airports for all intra-air flights (indicated in the itineraries) is included in the guided holiday price. Due to limited coach capacity, a single bag is allowed with dimensions not exceeding 30"x18"x10" (76x46x25cm) and weight not exceeding 50 lbs (23kg). Airlines may impose stricter weight and size limits for luggage and may also charge fees for checked baggage, including the first checked bag. Please check with your airline(s) directly for their most current baggage regulations and related fees. Trafalgar is not responsible for additional fees imposed by air carriers regarding baggage. A charge of US$6 or local currency equivalent per travelling day will be collected by the Travel Director if a second piece of baggage is permitted to be carried, or if suitcase exceeds weight or size limits. This is not assurance that luggage in excess of limits on size, weight and number of pieces will be permitted on the coach. Carry-on/hand luggage is restricted to one piece per person, not exceeding 12"x11"x6" (30x28x14 cm) to fit under your coach seat or in the small overhead compartment. Carry-on/hand luggage handling is the responsibility of each guest and must be taken on and off the motorcoach by you each day of the guided holiday. Carry-ons with telescopic handles and wheels will not fit in the overhead compartments or under seats and, therefore, cannot be accepted as carry-on luggage. Trafalgar and Trafalgar's affiliated entities shall not be liable for loss or damage to baggage or any guest's belongings. Guests should immediately report lost items to the Travel Director who will assist in completing a lost property form that can be used for an insurance claim. Trafalgar cannot assist in locating lost items after the guest disembarks or completes the Trafalgar holiday. Tips/Gratuities: Tips/gratuities are included for services on guided holiday provided by dining-room waiters, chambermaids and porters at hotels, airports and docks. Inter-Island Flights on Hawaii guided holidays: Hawaii guided holidays include all inter-island airfares, air-related charges and taxes as per the date on the back cover and are subject to change without notice. Included flights are outlined in each Hawaii guided holiday price panel. Due to the nature of the inter-island airfares, taxes and fuel surcharges cannot be confirmed until payment has been received and inter-island air tickets issued. Passengers should therefore be aware that additional payments may be due resulting from increases in taxes and fuel surcharges on inter-island flights (and remain liable even if not acknowledged). Once payment has been received and inter-island air tickets issued, the airfares, the taxes and fuel surcharges are final, regardless of any future price fluctuations up or down. Due to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Secure Flight rules, airlines in Hawaii must collect required information from guests. Guests traveling on inter-island flights must provide full name (as appears on a government-issued ID - i.e. passport, or Driver's License for US citizens and residents), date of birth and gender. For more information regarding TSA Secure Flight rules, please visit www.tsa.gov. Incomplete or inaccurate information may result in additional charges payable to the airline or delay or denial of boarding. NOT INCLUDED IN GUIDED HOLIDAY PRICE Any items and matters referred to above, including, international airfares to and from your destination, air-related taxes and fees (except where specified); additional fees charged by airlines such as checked and/or excess baggage, seat selections and any other services; passport and visa fees; insurances of all kinds; tips/gratuities to Travel Directors, Motorcoach Drivers and Local Experts; laundry; phone calls; internet access; minibar; beverages and meals not detailed in the itinerary; optional experiences; and all items of a personal nature.

This list is illustrative and not a complete list of every item not included.

Trafalgar seeks to provide a safe, enjoyable and memorable travel excursion for all guests. Trafalgar welcomes guests with special needs or disabilities. Please note the following: • Guests must advise Trafalgar, in advance, as early as possible, of any physical, medical or other special needs that require accommodating. Trafalgar will make reasonable modifications to its policies, practices and procedures when necessary, unless doing so will fundamentally alter the nature of the services provided. • Guests must ensure they are medically and physically able to travel. • Trafalgar may impose safety requirements. Trafalgar may exclude an individual from participating in a guided vacation or an activity if the individual's participation poses a direct threat to health or safety of others that cannot be eliminated by a reasonable modification of policies, practices or procedures or by the provision of auxiliary aids and services. This decision to exclude an individual will be based on an individualized assessment based on reasonable judgment that relies on current medical evidence or on the best available objective evidence to determine the nature, duration and severity of the risk, the probability that potential injury will occur and whether reasonable modifications of policies, practices or procedures will mitigate the risk. • Trafalgar does not provide personal devices (such as wheelchairs, hearing aids or prescription eye glasses) or services of a personal nature (such as eating, toileting or dressing). A traveler who requires services of a personal nature (eating, toileting or dressing, as examples) should consider bringing a companion to provide such assistance and must understand that other travelers, Travel Directors and Trafalgar Staff will not be available for such purpose. • Regrettably, motorized scooters are not allowed on guided holidays. Trafalgar does not employ medical personnel. Any necessary medical attention must be sought at a local facility, if available, at the guest's expense. Trafalgar is not responsible or liable for losses or costs incurred due to unavailability of medical services, or medical services obtained while on vacation, or for the quality of the care or services received. Some guided holidays include rough terrain, extensive walking over cobblestone streets, uneven pavement, steps and locations which may not be easily accessible or accessible by wheelchair. During the guided holiday, Trafalgar may make arrangements with carriers, hotels and other independent suppliers to provide travel services. These parties are independent entities which Trafalgar does not control. Trafalgar cannot guarantee disability access or accommodations for guests traveling on international guided holidays. Many Optional Experiences are operated by independent third party suppliers, not Trafalgar. These are not part of the package holiday provided by us. Your contract will be with the operator of the excursion. We are not responsible for providing of the excursion, or anything that happens during the excursion. Some experiences involve outdoor activities and/or can be physically demanding. You must make your own decisions about experiences and participate only in activities that suit your physical ability. We recommend you check whether any insurance you have also includes your participation in adventure activities you may undertake. Behaviour: We are here to provide the best services possible but in doing so we will not tolerate abusive or aggressive behaviour from our Guests. We will refuse to deal with and may terminate the holiday of people who assault our Company Representatives or who continue to be verbally abusive or aggressive when asked to behave reasonably. When you make a booking, you accept responsibility for the proper conduct of all members of your party during your stay. We reserve the right at any time to terminate the travel arrangements and/or cease to deal with any party member(s) whose behaviour, in the reasonable opinion of us or our suppliers, may cause danger, upset, disruption or distress to anyone else or damage to property. Full cancellation charges will apply and no refund will be made. We shall have no obligation to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses (including but not limited to alternative accommodation and return transportation arrangements) guest may incur as a result of the travel arrangements being terminated. If you damage the accommodation in which you are staying or any property,

You must indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (also including legal costs) made against us. Criminal proceedings may be instigated. Trafalgar is not responsible for any costs incurred concerning a guest removed from a guided holiday or aircraft, ship or train. Guests agree not to hold Trafalgar or any of its related entities liable for any actions taken under these terms and conditions. Young Traveller Discount: The Young Traveler must be under age 18 on the vacation departure date, and must be accompanied by an adult, sharing a twin room. The Young Traveler must be the specified age at the start of travel to be eligible for the discount. Only one Young Traveller discount per room is permitted except on North and South America itineraries where the limit is two young traveller discounts per room. This discount cannot be combined with our Travel With Family and Friends Discount. Please see our Savings pages for details. Itinerary Variations: Trafalgar strives to improve guided holiday itineraries, services and features. If improvements can be made, or if circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. At certain peak periods multiple departures may operate, sometimes in reverse order; hotels may vary from those stated on the itinerary pages. On guided holidays which include cruises, the ship may be changed for operational reasons. Departures in early and late season are potentially operated in cool weather conditions. As a result, itinerary variations may occur. Certain activities may not be precisely as described or may not be available due to seasonality or weather conditions. We try to notify you or your Travel Agent of changes. If your enjoyment may be diminished by such limitations, please check with us or your Travel Agent before making a reservation. Trafalgar's 'Be My Guest' experiences are unique and take place in singular exclusive locations. In the unlikely event that our local hosts are unable to welcome Trafalgar guests, Trafalgar will attempt to find an alternate excursion or a highlight meal will be provided in place of the 'Be My Guest' excursion. Holidays & Changes: During local or national holidays, certain facilities such as museums, sightseeing trips and shopping may be limited or unavailable. In such instances itinerary changes are made by Trafalgar seeking to reduce inconvenience to guests. Such changes are deemed not to be a major change to the itinerary, and no compensation will be payable to guests. Holidays, closing days and other circumstances may necessitate a change of the day of the week for scheduled highlight dinners, sightseeing or other activities. If, you feel your enjoyment might be diminished by any of these circumstances please check with the respective national tourist office before selecting a specific departure date. Extended stays: If you arranged with us to remain at a destination before or after your guided holiday, your stay will be at your sole expense as is the transfer to either the hotel or airport. Please see the 'Extend Your Stay in Gateway Cities' section for a list of pre and post guided holiday accommodation. Space is limited and if available is for up to three nights before and/or after each guided vacation. Breakfast and luggage handling is not included unless otherwise noted. Trafalgar does not provide complimentary transfers for guests booking pre-and post-night accommodations. However, inexpensive airport transfers can be purchased from Trafalgar. If your extra night accommodation is not the hotel where your guided holiday begins or ends, you will be responsible for your transfer arrangements at your own expense. For your comfort: Trafalgar operates a daily seat rotation system and enforces a strict no smoking and no alcohol policy on board motorcoaches. Regular comfort stops are made on traveling days. Many hotels, restaurants, trains, cruises and other venues are 100% smoke free. Guided Holiday Cancellation: Trafalgar reserves the right to cancel or re-schedule any guided holiday departure in any circumstances, including in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. If cancellation is made by Trafalgar any time prior to departure date of the guided holiday except when you failed to pay the final balance on time, Trafalgar will either refund the amount received for the guided holiday booking, or offer a comparable holiday if available. (Trafalgar will refund any difference in price if the alternative is of a lower price however, the Guest will be responsible for additional costs if the alternative is priced higher.) Trafalgar is not responsible for other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations and is not liable for any cancellation penalties incurred on other travel arrangements including air tickets.

Trafalgar cannot be held responsible for denied entry if a guest is unable to provide details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason.

Changes in primary school teachers' beliefs about knowing : a longitudinal study
Brownlee, Joanne M. (2003) Changes in primary school teachers' beliefs about knowing : a longitudinal study. Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 31(1), pp. 87-98.
A teaching program designed to facilitate the reflection on and development of more sophisticated epistemological beliefs was implemented with 29 pre-service graduate teacher education students at a large metropolitan university in Australia in 1997. As part of the year-long teaching program, students were required to reflect in journal entries on the content of an educational psychology unit in relation to their epistemological beliefs. The students engaged in this teaching program were interviewed in relation to their beliefs about knowing at the beginning (Interview 1) and conclusion (Interview 2) of the teaching program. Eleven participants were then interviewed again (Interview 3) in their third year of teaching. The results of the qualitative data analysis of all three interviews indicated that, over time, seven participants became more constructivist in their beliefs about knowing, two maintained the same beliefs, while two described less constructivist beliefs. Implications for teaching are discussed.

August 8 -- As two of Michigan's more than 20,000 corn farmers, we are not surprised by the recent actions of the major oil companies or shocked by how they are portraying the "evils of ethanol." We've been hearing the same, tired arguments for years that rely on scare tactics rather than facts. >>View Article

I've tried plenty of lotions and facial moisturizers in the past, but I feel like majority of them leave your face feeling oily. This one does NOT leave your face feeling oily at all, and it dries quickly. Once I got in the habit of using it consistently, I did notice my skin looked much better and healthier. I highly recommend this moisturizer.5
I bought this stuff on a whim. Having never heard of this brand before just seeing it on birchbox.
I was pleasantly surprised. It goes on kinda thick but then gets completely absorbed. Has a nice woodsy sent to it that dissipates about an hour or so after applying.
I'm a little unsure of the container it's a kind of a weird pump. You can't see how much you have left in the container. Or get the last bit out...one star off for packaging.
I really like this moisturizer because it is not heavy nor does it leave an oily feeling or sheen. Additionally, it is a lot of bang for your buck because you really do not have to use a lot in order to do the trick, each bottle goes a long way. This also does not have a heavy scent (barely one at all) so it doesn't compete with your cologne.5

Weekly Rundown - 07/09/12-07/15/12 (Sort o')
By SixtyXCelph 1 Comments
Games this week:
- Xbox 360 - Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Limbo, Super Meat Boy
- Playstation 2 - Final Fantasy X-2
- Game Boy Color - Pokémon: Silver Version
Short and simple. I don't feel up to typing this today, and since I basically do this for my own enjoyment as only Mr. Grape reads these, I think... yeah, short.
Assassin's Creed... same as last time. I'm stuck in a part where I can't figure out what it wants me to do, and it's being very specific in its mission parameters. And it's a story mission, so, yay, I can't just ignore it! Must complete to continue the game!
Final Fantasy X-2... played it for five minutes then turned it off, didn't even save.
Limbo and Super Meat Boy I played shortly to show them to a friend's new boyfriend.
Pokémon... it's Pokémon. I'll give you a better update next Monday, maybe, but, come on...
And that's it! I think the problem is I'm in the middle of games I don't really care about at all, Final Fantasy X-2 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and it's killing my will. But I have a difficult time not playing a game to completion, even if I'm not enjoying it.

TWO mobile phones may hold "crucial" clues to the Alps massacre, it emerged
They were found in the bullet-riddled BMW in which three members of a British
family were shot dead.
French cops suspect aerospace businessman Saad Al-Hilli, 50, was lured to an
ambush by a professional hit squad.
And the phones' call and text records could reveal information about who Mr
Al-Hilli was dealing with in the days, hours or even minutes before he was
murdered along with his dentist wife Ikbal, 47, and her mother Suhaila, 74.
French cyclist Sylvain Mollier, 45, was also shot dead after apparently
disturbing the killers at a beauty spot near Lake Annecy. A French police
source said: "The phones are crucial to the enquiry. They are now being
analysed by specialist officers."
Yesterday it emerged the Al-Hillis' seven-year-old daughter Zainab suffered a
badly fractured skull during a suspected pistol-whipping and was hit in the
shoulder by a bullet. Her sister Zeena, four, survived after hiding under
her mother's legs.
The four dead perished in a blaze of clinical semi-automatic gunfire
lasting less than 30 seconds.
At least 25 shots were fired. The victims — on a caravan holiday — were hit at
least three times, with two bullets in the head. Father-of-three Mr Mollier
was shot five times.
Local chalets, hikers' shelters and woods were being searched last night for
any signs left by the assassins, in case they plotted the hit in the area.
Detectives were also scouring CCTV footage from the borders with Switzerland
and Italy, and petrol stations.
Relatives of the orphaned girls were reunited with Zeena yesterday after
arriving in France with a British social worker on Friday night.
The man and woman, who have not been named, met her in the presence of French
police and British embassy staff. Zainab, considered a key witness, remained
in an artificial coma in hospital under armed police guard.
The girls' closest living relative, their father's brother Zaid, 53, has been
questioned in London about an alleged feud with Saad over an inheritance
rumoured to be worth £1million. Zaid has denied there was any such battle.
CSI cops scour family's home
FRENCH police yesterday searched the UK home of shot businessman Saad
Officers in protective forensic clothing spent 45 minutes inside as a Surrey
Police team began its search of the mock Tudor mansion.
A Brit cop laid flowers left in tribute at the home in Claygate, which had a
forensic tent outside.
Investigation chief Colonel Marc de Tarle said he had requested "international
