In 1986 psychotherapist Joel Whitton and author Joe Fisher published Life Between Life, a book recounting Whitton's experiments in hypnotic past-life regression. Actually "past-life" is something of a misnomer, because while Whitton did explore his patients' alleged past lives, he was primarily interested in what he called the "interlife," the timeless and spaceless period between incarnations.
The first half of the book consists mainly of a general overview of the subject of reincarnation. Here, I think the authors are sometimes too eager to push the view that belief in reincarnation is nearly universal. For instance, there seems to be some conflation of two distinct beliefs: that the soul preexists its earthly incarnation, and that the soul is repeatedly incarnated. Cicero is quoted as saying that young children's facility for learning is "a strong proof of man knowing most things before birth." But Cicero was not maintaining that the soul undergoes multiple incarnations, merely that it exists on the spiritual plane before taking on a physical body. The church father Origen held essentially the same view, which is misrepresented in Life Between Life as an advocacy of reincarnation.
In the second half of the book, we get into the real meat of the subject: Whitton's hypnotic regressions. Unfortunately his database is rather small, consisting of only 30 clients. He explains that the extremely deep level of hypnotic trance necessary to access the interlife can be achieved by only a small segment of the population. Moreover, although he says he has made some efforts to verify the factual details of specific past lives, none of these verifying investigations are described (with one exception, to be discussed later).
Perhaps a bigger stumbling block to accepting Whitton's results is the melodramatic nature of many of the past lives he uncovered. In one case, the previous personality was a virtuoso musician, a woman who had a torrid love affair that ended in tragedy when the car carrying her lover and herself plunged off a cliff; the man died, and the woman, horribly scarred and unable to play the piano because she had lost the use of her hands, lived in isolation and eventually drowned herself by walking into the sea. I'm not saying this couldn't happen, but it does contain a lot of elements of Hollywood melodrama; the tragic denouement is right out of the classic soaper A Star Is Born.
Another case involved a previous personality who lived in the Wild West -- the proverbial hooker with a heart of gold, who became the target of an equally familiar stereotype, the firebreathing fundamentalist preacher. When the evil preacher tries to take custody of the prostitute's newborn baby, the desperate woman accidentally fires a shotgun that kills the infant. She is then handed over to the not-so-tender mercies of a vigilante band of cowboys, who rape and torture her before skinning her alive.
Now, it's true that the people who sought out Whitton's services were suffering from severe psychological (and sometimes physical) problems, so perhaps it's not surprising that they should have especially traumatic memories. And the book makes the point that these patients have experienced dozens of lives, some of which were quite prosaic; for therapeutic purposes, the focus of the sessions was on the most dramatic lives, the ones that left them emotionally scarred in their present incarnation. Still, the Harlequin Romance/Hollywood melodrama aspects of some of these tales make me uneasy.
Like other past-life therapists, Whitton claims significant success in curing longstanding problems that had defied more conventional treatment. It does seem as if past-life therapy can sometimes resolve painful, even crippling emotional disturbances in a relatively short time. This alone makes the therapy valuable, whether or not the purported past lives are genuine.
Interestingly, the patients' accounts of the dying process are quite similar to near-death experiences, typically including an out-of-body experience, a passage through a tunnel into a bright light, and a life review. But unlike most NDEs, the life review is usually supervised by a trio of sages, and is often accompanied by an in-depth interview.
As Whitton's patients describe it, the interlife involves grasping the mistakes that one has made in one's most recent incarnation, seeing where one has fallen short of one's goals, and then -- in cooperation with a more advanced guide -- designing the plan for one's next life. Occasionally a particularly impatient or reckless subject will reincarnate without a plan, a policy that is strongly discouraged by the powers that be.
Karma plays a large role in all this, but instead of being seen as a strictly mechanical process of cause and effect or action and reaction, it seems to be understood more as choosing the life circumstances that are most likely to teach the required lessons.
One interesting case involved apparent psychokinetic manifestations that began with the unexplained appearance of blood on the wall of the patient's home. The symbolic blood was eventually traced to past-life traumas, but I couldn't help thinking that if the mind is able to materialize blood out of thin air in order to spotlight a person's psychological problems, it might be capable of creating a convincing simulation of a previous persona.
The one instance in which we are told of efforts to verify the patient's claims was a case of xenoglossy -- i.e., speaking a language that should be unknown to the speaker. Actually, there were two languages -- Old Norse and an ancient Mesopotamian tongue. The authors write,
When Harold was reexperiencing his life as Thor (a Viking), Dr. Whitton instructed him to write down, phonetically, the vocal exchanges that were taking place. Harold responded by writing twenty-two words and phrases, none of which he understood. Working independently, linguistic authorities who spoke Icelandic and Norwegian subsequently identified and translated ten of these words as being Old Norse, the language of the Vikings and the precursor of modern Icelandic. Several other words seemed to have Russian, Serbian, or Slavic derivation and these were also identified. Most of the words relate to the sea -- precisely the type of verbal communication that could be expected from a Viking warrior.
Doctor Thor Jakobsson, a research scientist with Canada's Department of the Environment and an expert on the Icelandic language, studied the transcripts produced by Harold and concluded that many of the words -- including those for "storm," "heart," and "iceberg" -- were "definitely of Icelandic origin." That some of the words had their origins in other languages only added to the authenticity of the script, said Dr. Jakobsson, because the restless, warlike Vikings roamed to the far corners of Europe.
In recalling Harold's purported life in Mesopotamia, Whitton asked him to write down the words for common concepts, such as "brother," "house," and "clothing." The authors continue:
Holding the pencil very lightly, Harold carefully created a mysterious, Arabic-style script in a spidery, childlike hand....
Unsuccessful in matching his patient's supposed calligraphy with ancient scripts in library books, [Whitton] eventually submitted the pencil markings to Dr. Ibrahim Pourhadi, an expert in ancient Persian and Iranian languages at the Near Eastern Section of Washington's Library of Congress. After close examination of the samples, Dr. Pourhadi maintained that [they] were an authentic representation of the long-extinct language called Sassanid Pahlavi, which was used in Mesopotamia between A.D 226 and 651 and bears no relation to modern Iranian. [pp. 154-156]
I've quoted these excerpts at some length because they are the book's only report of an attempt to verify the accuracy of a patient's past-life recollections. As Whitton says in his Introduction,
In this book we do not review the evidence. That is worth a book in itself and has been done before. Instead, we proceed from the assumption that reincarnation is true. We do not assume, however, that every report of a past-life memory obtained under hypnosis, or claim of a spontaneously remembered past life, is what it purports to be. The issue of proof is not simple. There are important hidden assumptions in the theory of reincarnation as well as complex psychological issues in a memory of a past life. We do not articulate these issues in this book, but believe we have addressed them and have included only those cases wherein the hypothesis of past lives is the only valid one.
In the end, I don't know for sure if Whitton's cases establish reincarnation or not. Certainly his work provides much food for thought. The view of multiple rebirths, with each new life designed to resolve a specific problem and advance spiritual development by one more step, is intriguing and makes a certain amount of sense. But the melodramatic stories and general lack of verification provide grounds for doubt.
What the book does demonstrate is the incredible power of the mind. Whether the mind is seen as cooperating with other intelligences to design myriad lifetimes, or as confabulating these things in order to effect emotional and physical healing, it's still a powerful force. Add PK for physical manifestations and some kind of cryptomnesia or super-psi to explain the xenoglossy, and the mind becomes a much greater thing than we ordinarily realize.
Perhaps this insight is the real takeaway of Life Between Life.

Unanswered: Iif Statement Prob
Well hello therE!
I came across some difficulities in my sql statements. I'm checking for concurrency in my application. I can get everything to check except I'm having trouble with the date data member.
AND (signDate = IIf(''='',NULL,#10/24/2003#))
What I wanna do is check to see if the original signdate that was loaded is still there before i update the record (thereby checking for concurrency).
Thing is, this sign off date is null OR a date (the work order has to be signed off for there to be a sign date).
Now, how do i check to see if the original (before the update) is null? Because if the signdate is not null, then this works fine....but i just can't seem to figure out how to check it if its null. The way it is right now, if the signdate is null, that concurrency check won't go and i can't update.
Hope this makes sense. If you need more info, just let me know. Thx in advance.

not clear exactly what you are trying to achieve.
will return X if signDate is null, otherwise Y
where does this AND live? in SQL? or?
what do you want to occur if isnull(signDate) ...and otherwise?

United Nations | India has fared moderately in a global ranking of countries as per the percentage of women appointed in ministerial positions, but was at a bleak position in another list on number of women parliamentarians.
The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and UN Women launched the 'Women in Politics 2017 Map', a visual representation of women's political empowerment on the sidelines of the ongoing session of the Commission on the Status of Women here.
India ranked 88th out of 186 countries in the list with of 18.5 per cent of women appointed in ministerial positions as of January 1, 2017. Countries like Rwanda, Kenya, Mozambique and South Sudan fared better than India in the ranking.
However, it did not score well in the ranking of nations according to number of women elected or appointed to parliaments as on January 1.
It ranked 148 out of the 193 nations, with only 11.48 per cent women in the Lower House of Parliament and 11 per cent in the Upper House. Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China and Iraq were ranked higher than India.
According to the data presented by the Map, the number of women in executive government and in the parliaments worldwide has stagnated, with only marginal improvements since 2015.
The number of women heads of state or heads of government fell from 19 to 17 since 2015, and progress in the number of women in the parliaments continues to be slow, the data said.
"What is democracy? Is it people for the people, or men for the people," UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka told reporters here yesterday at the launch of the data.
The Union, established in 1889, is the focal point for world-wide parliamentary dialogue and works for peace and co-operation among peoples and for the firm establishment of representative democracy.
The IPU supports the efforts of and works in close cooperation with the UN on relevant objectives. Its data shows that the global average of women in national parliaments increased just slightly from 22.6 per cent in 2015 to 23.3 per cent in 2016. The number of female Speakers of the House, however, is up to the highest so far, with 53 out of 273 posts.
"Political campaigns are expensive," Mlambo-Ngcuka said identifying some of the challenges faced by women who run for office.
"Political parties are male dominated. When there isn't a specific measure in place, women fall off the ground. Men tend to choose those who are made in their own image," she said.
Women's participation in parliaments rose to 25 per cent from 22.4 per cent in 2015, even as the heads of state of Brazil and Argentina left office.
Number of women ministers in Africa declined after years of steady growth. About 19.7 per cent of the region's ministerial posts are held by women.
In Asia, women held 11 per cent of ministerial posts (from 10.6 per cent in 2015). Indonesia became the country with the highest participation of women in government (25.7 per cent) in the region, while Vietnam and Nepal experienced steep declines drifting below five per cent.
In Europe, the total percentage stood at 22.5 per cent. A surprise came from the Nordic countries which have traditionally led the global stage in politics, but whose number of female ministers fell by more than six per cent to 43.5 per cent.

ABOUT THE ARTS: Jakarta; Indonesians, Who Want the World To Go Away, Plan To Invite It To a Party
By Barbara Crossette
Published: July 3, 1988
NAME AN INDONESIAN novelist, poet or composer. Name six Indonesian islands, not including Bali. Describe Batak singing, or ikat cloth, or a gado-gado.
Indonesia, the invisible nation with the world's fifth-largest population, is statistically impressive: more than 170 million people, 13,000 islands and 500 languages, the largest Islamic community on earth, an unrivaled collection of dramatic native architecture and ethnic costume. So why don't we know more about it?
The question bothered Indonesia's former Foreign Minister, Mochtar Kusumaatmadja, enough so that a few years ago he established a foundation to promote the country. The foundation, Nusantara Jaya (Great Archipelago), and Mr. Mochtar are working full time to bring Indonesia to America and Europe in 1990 and 1991 in an ambitious festival called the Year of Indonesia, which will aim to sample the breathtaking range of life and art in the archipelago, from classical performing arts to food, textiles and folk life. Preparations for the festival are just beginning, with the selection of committees of experts to search the islands for appropriate participants. Indonesia's artistic styles range from the primitive carvings of New Guinea and other islands to the finely crafted gold work of Sumatra and Java. Much of Indonesian folk art has never been seen in the West, except in a few museums.
Nobody thinks that putting this together is going to be easy. Indonesia is a country with fierce ethnic rivalries, suffocating political limits and a strong distaste for publicity of almost any kind. It is a country that, more often than not, wants the world to go away.
Geography has something to do with this: there is a true remoteness to be felt in such corners of Indonesia as Borneo or highland Sumatra or the islands beyond Lombok. No external enemy threatens Indonesia, cradled in its own safe seas.
Language and culture also play a part. Much of Indonesia's literary tradition, for example, is oral, rooted in specific islands, and doesn't travel well, let alone translate easily. An Indonesian child learns young that to use the word ''I'' is impolite. Grown up, the Indonesian shrinks from boasting, then may feel underrated or misunderstood. Indonesians who venture abroad neither seek nor thrive on life in other societies. Probably unique among people from developing nations who travel to the United States on student and cultural visas, Indonesians - about 99 percent of them - come home.
''A Javanese going away from home carries a handful of earth,'' said Yuli Ismartono, a foreign correspondent for the Jakarta news magazine Tempo. ''Leave the country? You can't get a Javanese to leave Java.''
The dominant Javanese and their highly sophisticated culture are regarded as arrogant, introverted and arcane by many fellow Indonesians, who are more open and physical in their arts and in their communications with outsiders.
Javanese dominance has left scant room in official cultural life for some of the country's most fragile societies, like those of New Guinea and East Timor, where lingering resistance to Indonesian rule is fueled by cultural slights. A Timorese remembers an audience of Javanese bureaucrats laughing when a dance troupe from Timor took the stage at a cultural festival. A British visitor to Irian Jaya, Indonesian New Guinea, said that when her trekking party stopped for the night near a police post in the wilderness, Javanese officers ran out to order the Irianese porters to stop singing. Will these remote and exotic ''outer island'' cultures find a place in the Year of Indonesia?
Javanese, Sumatran, Makassarese, Timorese - and Indonesia's other regional cultures - are separated from each other and from the rest of the world by a dearth of good translations of literature, drama and poetry. John H. McGlynn, an American scholar and translator working from a house full of Indonesian art in a quiet Jakarta neighborhood, is about to try bridging this literary gap. This year, with the help of some leading Indonesian intellectuals, he is venturing into publishing.
''I am looking at what has been translated into English, what can be and what should be,'' he said over coffee. His first book will be a collection of poetry. Mr McGlynn, who subtitles films, interprets for a bank and edits a bilingual business journal to earn a living, has already translated several books of Indonesian poetry, and a novel (''And the War Was Over,'' by Ismail Marahimin) for which he recently won the Mobil Oil Company's Pegasus prize, awarded for works from countries where writing is rarely translated.
Translators often remark on the difficulty of rendering the complex and sometimes treacherous language patterns and meanings faithfully, without losing a reader's interest. ''The classical literary forms of Indonesia are orally based and very repetitive,'' Mr. McGlynn said. ''Through slight repetitions you eventually get to the point. This is also true in conversation. They will sometimes say something again and again.'' To translate this style honestly, he says, is to put great demands on a reader's patience. Indonesian literature exists within political limitations. Mr. McGlynn figures that there are about 100 writers who either cannot be published or must write under pseudonyms. Best known among this twilight literary group is Pramoedya Ananta Toer, a nationalist novelist and short-story writer who is idolized by young Indonesians, although he remains in seclusion and his books are no longer printed or sold here. Like many Indonesians in trouble, he has never chosen exile.
Will Mr. Pramoedya be part of the Year of Indonesia, perhaps as a lecturer or an adviser?
Mochtar Lubis, who is working to translate the literature of the developing world into Indonesian, believes that a wave of social protest writing, painting and poetry is about to wash over Indonesia. The poet Rendra balances on the edge of the government's tolerance - sometimes allowed to perform, sometimes not. Public readings of his poems of protest draw large crowds. Will the Year of Indonesia reflect the importance of spoken poetry in these islands by finding a rostrum for him?
Mr. Lubis is critical of government intervention in the arts, and particularly angry, at the moment, that bureaucrats have been given the right to choose the artists and writers who will represent the country abroad. ''The sense of social injustice in society is growing,'' he said. Without translations, many foreign readers may never know of the rumbling going on in Southeast Asia's largest nation.
Two years ago, Mr. McGlynn published privately a collection of works by the contemporary poet Sapardi Djoko Damono called ''Water Color Poems.'' In one of them, titled ''Meditation,'' Mr. Sapardi said this: Do not disturb: I, the warrior hermit, am meditating in a cave, an egg or a word - is there in fact a difference? And at some point in time when roots have encircled me and I, a seed, have found meaning - will you, my friend, have the courage to approach?

Topic Outline
Key Questions
What is the Impact of Medicaid on Health Outcomes?
- Baicker, K., Taubman, S. L., Allen, H. L., Bernstein, M., Gruber, J. H., Newhouse, J. P., . . . Finkelstein, A. N. (2013). The Oregon Experiment — Effects of Medicaid on Clinical Outcomes. New England Journal of Medicine, 368(18), 1713-1722. doi: doi:10.1056/NEJMsa1212321. This randomized, controlled study showed that Medicaid coverage generated no significant improvements in measured physical health outcomes in the first 2 years, but it did increase use of health care services, raise rates of diabetes detection and management, lower rates of depression, and reduce financial strain.

- Lurie N, N.B. Ward, Martin F. Shapiro, Robert H. Brook. Termination from Medi-Cal — does it affect health? New England Journal of Medicine, 1984;311: 480-4.
What is the Impact of Medicaid on Non-health Outcomes?
- Brown, David W., Amanda E. Kowalski, Ithai Z. Lurie. Medicaid as an Investment in Children: What is the Long-Term Impact on Tax Receipts? NBER Working Paper No. 20835. Issued in January 2015. The government will recoup 56 cents of each dollar spent on childhood Medicaid by the time these children reach age 60. This return on investment does not take into account other benefits that accrue directly to the children, including estimated decreases in mortality and increases in college attendance. Moreover, using the MSIS data, we find that each additional year of Medicaid eligibility from birth to age 18 results in approximately 0.58 additional years of Medicaid receipt. Therefore, if we scale our results by the ratio of beneficiaries to eligibles, then all of our results are almost twice as large.
- Cohodes, Sarah, Samuel Kleiner, Michael F. Lovenheim, Daniel Grossman. The Effect of Child Health Insurance Access on Schooling: Evidence from Public Insurance Expansions. NBER Working Paper No. 20178, Issued in May 2014. A 10 percentage point increase in childhood Medicaid eligibility reduced the rate of high school dropouts by 5 percent and increased completion of a bachelor's degree by 3.3 to 3.7 percent.
How Much Does Medicaid Crowd Out Private Coverage?
- Cutler, D.M. and J. Gruber, Does Public Insurance Crowd Out Private Insurance? The Quarterly Journal of Economics 111, no. 2 (1996):391–430. Estimates that every extra $1 spent on Medicaid reduces private health insurance by 50-75¢.
Duchovny, N. and L. Nelson. The State Children's Health Insurance Program, CBO Pub no. 2970 (Washington,DC: Congressional Budget Office, 2007). This report projects a crowd-out rate of 25% to 50% for SCHIP.
- Gruber, J. and K. Simon, Crowd-Out Ten Years Later: Have Recent
Public Insurance Expansions Crowded Out Private Heath Insurance? Working Paper no. 12858 (Cambridge: National Bureau of Economic Research, 2007). E
stimates SCHIP crowd-out at 60%.
Is Medicaid a "Welfare Magnet"?
- Schwartz, Aaron L., and Benjamin D. Sommers. Moving for Medicaid? Recent Eligibility Expansions Did Not Induce Migration from Other States. Health Affairs 33, no. 1 (January 1, 2014 2014): 88-94. We used data from the Current Population Survey to examine the migration patterns of low-income people before and after recent expansions of public insurance in Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, and New York. Using difference-in-differences analysis of migration in expansion and control states, we found no evidence of significant migration effects. Our preferred estimate was precise enough to rule out net migration effects of larger than 1,600 people per year in an expansion state. These results suggest that migration will not be a common way for people to obtain Medicaid coverage under the current expansion and that interstate migration is not likely to be a significant source of costs for states choosing to expand their programs.

Location Profile: Missouri's Northeast Region
Oct/Nov 08
Northeast Missouri is a storied place, thanks to a certain Hannibal icon named Mark Twain. But the region continues to spawn creative talent. Shane Mayes is a contemporary example. In an effort to curb offshoring of American IT jobs, Shane founded Onshore Technologies in 2005, a "rural outsourcing" company with customized training at its core.
In just a few years, Onshore has garnered high-profi le contracts and international attention.
Industries old and new continue to grow the region. Newly-expanded Continental Cement (once the primary supplier of concrete for the Panama Canal) and BASF, producer of agrichemicals, both benefit from their proximity to the region's railroads and port. Ethanol and biodiesel plants are creating hundreds of jobs as the country moves toward fuel alternatives.
Northeast Missouri residents understand the importance of good infrastructure to their economic success. East-west Route 36, connecting Hannibal to St. Joseph across the state, is now a four-lane highway, thanks to voter support. This expansion, coupled with improvements to north-south Highway 63, is creating a new business corridor across Missouri.
Higher education is another piece of the success equation for Northeast Missouri. A. T. Still University (Kirksville) is the nation's founding school of osteopathic medicine. Truman State University, also in Kirksville, consistently ranks as the top Midwestern public university at the master's level (US News) and as one of the best values nationwide (Kaplan's). Hannibal-LaGrange College, Culver Stockton, and Moberly Area Community College round out the list with strong academic and vocational training programs.

Telangana employees gear up for indefinite strike
Andhra govt has decided to invoke Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) in all key departments.
Hyderabad: Government employees in Telangana region are set to protest from Monday in the run up to the indefinite strike from Aug 17, even as the government decided to invoke Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) in all key departments.
A showdown appears inevitable with the employees` unions deciding to boycott talks till the government withdraws orders under ESMA and calls back police forces deployed at the offices and the government giving no hint of accepting their pre-conditions.
The Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) of employees, officers, teachers and workers and other unions threatened to go on an indefinite strike from Aug 17 to press the demand for a separate state and some service-related issues.
As a prelude to the strike, the employees would commence `work to rule` from Monday which means they would not work beyond the stipulated office hours. They would also undertake lunch-hour demonstrations in the office premises.
As the strike threatens to paralyse the administration, the government has decided to act tough.
Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, at a meeting late Saturday, decided to invoke provisions of ESMA in departments of civil supplies, rural water supply and panchayat raj.
The government has also decided to invoke `no work no pay` rule to tackle the strike, which pro-Telangana groups hope would give new impetus to the movement for a separate state.
Several departments like health, municipal administration, Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corp and electricity have already issued ESMA notifications banning strike for six months.
Under ESMA, a person found disturbing delivery of services by participating in the strike could face imprisonment for six months.
Officials said the government is making all efforts to avoid a February-March like situation when 16-day non-cooperation movement by nearly 300,000 employees had hit the administration.
The chief minister directed top officials to take steps to ensure that the strike has no impact in the secretariat and key offices in Hyderabad.
JAC leaders are unfazed. "We are determined to go ahead with the strike and make it successful," said JAC president Swami Goud.
He claimed the strike would be in tune with the aspirations of four crore people of Telangana and accused government of trying to intimidate them.
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), Communist Party of India (CPI), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Telangana leaders of Congress, Telugu Desam Party, students` JAC and other groups are supporting the employees.
They have even warned that use of ESMA and other harsh measures against employees would have disastrous consequences for the Congress government.

We all do what we can to recover from our treacherous WODs. Protein shakes, carb-loading, excess water consumption, foam rolling, flossing, etc.
Yet, many of us are missing the lowest hanging fruit on the recovery tree: quality sleep.
Over the past year, I've taken gradual steps to optimize my sleep. It all started when I decided to wake up at 445AM to hit the first WOD of the day. Operating on a mere 6 hours per night became a distant reality.
I picked up a book called Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson. There is so much great information in this book. I've distilled the lessons from Sleep Smarter into directives below.
Sleep quality and quantity are imperative to your success.
Consider the following:
- Human Growth Hormone releases during sleep. This helps your body maintain and repair muscles.
- One night of sleep deprivation can make you as insulin resistant as someone with type 2 diabetes.
- Insulin resistance translates to decreased sex-drive, obesity, and aging.
- Fatigued driving can be as bad or worse than drunk driving.
- Graveyard Shift workers are more likely to suffer from diabetes and cancer.
- Sleep Debt is a myth. Catching up on sleep on weekends is a flawed approach. It doesn't work. The damage is already done.
Daily Sleep Ritual:
The word ritual comes from the Latin word "ritus", meaning "a proven way of doing something." A ritual is a small sequence of actions that put you in a certain state of mind for getting something done.
For starters, go to bed within the same 30-minute window each night. Augment that by waking up within the same 30-minute window each morning. We tend to get ready for everything else. We get ready for a date, we get ready for exercise or a sport, we get ready for work. But, when it comes to sleep, many of us tend to stumble into it or pass out from exhaustion.
Sleep Directives:
Try this first:
- Only two things should happen in your bedroom. Sleep and Sex.
- Optimize for both by eliminating any and all distractions.
- This includes all electronics (phone, tv, laptop/tablet, e-readers, etc.)
- Your room should be so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face.
- Black out curtains should do the trick.
- Ditch the nightlight.
- Try to fall asleep before 10 PM.
- If you aren't asleep by 10P, you may get a second wind and have trouble falling asleep until well past 12A.
- 10 PM – 2 AM are the regenerative hours. Often referred to as "Money Time Sleep"
- Try to get direct sunlight on your skin or in your eyes between sunrise and 830AM.
- This will signal the start of the day to your body. Have you ever woken up early and stayed inside all day? Chances are you had trouble falling asleep that night. The lack of sunlight exposure could confuse your body's biological clock.
- A great night of sleep begins the moment you wake up in the morning.
- Avoid screens for at least 90 minutes before going to bed.
- Avoid caffeine 8-12 hours before bedtime. Caffeine has a half-life of about 5 hours. So if you have 200mg of caffeine, after 5 hours, you'd still have 100mg in your system. After another 5 hours, you'd have 50mg. Etc.
- Cycle your caffeine intake: Take 2 days off per week. or 1 week off per month. or 1 month off per quarter.
- Optimal room temperature is 68 degrees F. If that's too cold, wear loose fitting clothing.
- Warm Bath / Shower 1.5 hours before bed.
Leveling Up:
- Rolling and Mashing to down-regulate with a foam roller or lacrosse ball
- Dr. Kelly Starrett says, "Spend 5 to 10 minutes 'ungluing' your abdominal musculature. Roll back and forth. Stop where it's uncomfortable. Breath into that ball. It's safe, effective, and it triggers your parasympathetic system to turn on."
- Magnesium Supplementation
- Use a topical spray right before bed. Spray chest, neck, shoulders, and one area of the body that is experiencing soreness
- Air Humidifier
- Great for cold winter months when you can't let fresh air flow through your bedroom
- Sleeping Position – Maintain the integrity of your spine.
- Pillow should be appropriately sized to your body. The smaller you are, the smaller pillow you should use. There should be little to no angle in the spine between the upper back and neck.
- Side sleepers: Use a pillow between your knees.
- Back sleepers: Ditch the pillow altogether if possible. propping your head on a pillow will decrease blood flow to the brain.
- Stomach sleepers: Half Military Crawl Position. Raise one knee. Raise the same arm and tuck hand under the pillow. Face that way. Other arm and leg should shoot straight down.
- Meditate – Use an app like Headspace or Calm to help
- I recommend 10-20 minutes twice per day. Upon waking and a part of your nightly ritual.
- Cut out (or at least reduce) blue light exposure
When all else fails:
- Air Ionizer:
- Oxidize odors, fungi, mold.
- Bind to dust, pollen, dander – making them bigger and easier to remove while cleaning
- Plants in the bedroom – The English Ivy, The Perennial Snake Plant, or Jasmine.
- Ground yourself:
- Make it a regular practice to get some quality time with your bare feet on the ground. Aim for conductive surfaces: soil, grass, sand (at the beach), and even living bodies of water like the ocean.
- ChilliPad – Cooling system for your bed.
Avoid gut-damaging chemicals that can hinder serotonin and melatonin production. Strive to eat organic, locally grown, unprocessed foods for the bulk of your diet.
- Selenium
- Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, beef, oysters, chicken, and cremini mushrooms
- Vitamin C
- bell peppers, green leafy vegetables, kiwifruit, strawberries, citrus fruits, and papaya
- Tryptophan

If you need to eat something close to bed-time, focus on high fat / low carb. This will ensure your blood sugar stays stable.
The best breakfast option for most people is to go with some protein (like eggs, steak, or salmon), veggies (cooked and/or raw), and some healthy fats (like avocado, coconut, olives, or nuts and seeds).
Avoid commercial breakfasts like that plague (cereal, oatmeal, croissant, bagel, pancakes, etc.)
Sleep & Exercise:
You actually don't get in shape at the gym while you're exercising. Instead, you're tearing down your body while working out. Creating thousands of tiny micro-tears in your muscle fibers. When you leave the gym, you're actually in worse shape than when you came in.
- Workout in the morning
- Researchers tracked the sleep patterns of participants who worked out at three different times: 7:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., & 7:00 p.m. They discovered the people who exercised at 7:00 a.m. slept longer and had a deeper sleep cycle than the other two groups. In fact, the morning exercisers had up to 75% more time in the reparative "deep sleep" stage at night.
- Lift heavy weights using compound movements
- This will trigger the optimal hormonal response
- Sprint
- Running for long distances can increase muscle loss through a process called gluconeogenesis. Muscle is your body's fat-burning machinery. If you lose muscle by running too much, you will depress your metabolism. If you don't keep running day after day, you'll start getting fat.
Sleep & Attire:
- Men
- Boxers, loose-fitting pajama bottoms, basketball shorts, basic T-shirt if you want, or go naked
- Women
- Shorts, a T-shirt, or boxers, flowing lingerie, yoga pants or "tights" that don't strangle your legs and hips, loose-fitting pajama bottoms, or go naked

QuestionPosted in Credit Scores

0 People Helped
Now that I am married, I am an authorized user on my wife's two Chase credit cards (Chase no longer allows joint account ownership). Each card has a perfect payment history and a combined line of credit of $16,000.
We pay off the cards each month before the reporting date and we have zero derogatory marks, no student loans, and no mortgage. Our total debt consists of ~$6,000 on a car payment which is in my name.
Her years of perfect payment history have transferred over to my Transunion report but not my Equifax. Chase says it's Equifax's fault and Equifax says that Chase isn't reporting it. (Circle of blame).
As a result, my Transunion score is 794. My Equifax score is 641.
Last week, I applied for and received a Chase credit card in my own name with a limit of $700 in the hopes of increasing my score.
What can I need to do to increase my scores? I'd particularly like Equifax to match Transunion.
Any ideas?

The Melody Inn, June 18
3.5 Stars
Punk Rock Night needs little introduction. An Indianapolis institution, it's happened almost every Saturday night since 2000. So if you've ever been to the Melody Inn or if you've ever seen an indie punk show, you can put two and two together. The Melody is a small bar with a small stage, and when it gets packed with punk fans and punk bands, things get loud, smoky, and a little bit crazy. In other words: it's perfect.
Last Saturday local acts The Putz and Stealing Volume played, as well as Chicago-based groups M.O.T.O. and Voice of Addiction. The lineup seemed to bring more than the average number of PRN fans out of the woodwork, and by the time the show got going at about 10:30, it seemed like most of the audience members already had a few Foster's oil cans and PBR tallboys in the tank.
The emcee kicked the night off by introducing the "Ramones Award Winning" trio The Putz to take the stage first. Whether or not that award actually exists (and I couldn't find anything), these guys definitely would be in the top ranks, playing the same brand of fast, up-beat songs as said hallowed band, and featuring their own quirky, fun lyrics ("I think your spaceship's taking off, and you better be on it"). Cool thing about this trio is the way the use their voices as instruments, harmonizing sweetly in the true punk tradition, as in their song "Surfing Alone." In appropriate homage to their progenitors, The Putz closed with a crowd-pleasing cover of "Blitzkrieg Bop."
Next up was Voice of Addiction, another trio, fronted by lead-singing bass player Ian Tomele, who displayed some serious, lead-guitar type chops on his five-string bass. VoA's sound falls more in the metal camp, but the band played around with different sounds, delving into rockabilly for their song "You're All Crazy," from their new album "Reduce Reuse Resist," and taking things in a more thrash metal direction at other times.
M.O.T.O. (Masters of the Obvious) took the stage next. This New Orleans-based band has been at it since 1981, playing a bass-heavy, at times Mifits-like sound, with some great solo-work by lead guitarist Paul Caporino. Their song titles, such as "Thong Fever," and "I Hate My F-ing Job," seemed to come straight from the doors of a frat house bathroom stall, while at other times reaching for something a bit more dark and interesting ("I walk through the great primeval"). These guys displayed some of the energizing, cymbal-crashing drive that makes punk so great, they just extended their set too damned long, claiming to be on their last song when they were in fact in the middle of their 75 or so minute set.
Finally, local foursome Stealing Volume took the controls, playing to whatever drunk and weary patrons that were left after M.O.T.O. got done with them. Stealing Volume quickly took care of the weariness part, however, playing a set of maddeningly intense, lyrically inventive songs that have the power to move bodies. These guys have a polished, half-insane yet entirely pro sound with good pace changes and thick, driving chords. Sardonically cool frontman Ben Schimmel gets backed up by guitarist Lanny Boles, bassist Scott Lamb, and the frenzied drum work of Scott Tolley, as band rocked their trademark hits like "Internal Rocket Shock," "With the Rats," and "Hipstar" and proved they had every right to close down the night, staying on for two quick encores.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Picture in Black and White for Sprint
Just yesterday, we put out an editorial about why 'Mini' phones really aren't selling. Samsung was actually the first one to introduce the mini. Last year with the Galaxy S3 Mini. Since then they've introduced the Galaxy S4 Mini, HTC has the One Mini, Sony just announced the Xperia Z1 mini aka Xperia Z1f, and Motorola has the DROID Mini. Only Motorola and Sony have created mini phones that are actually the same specs as their big brothers. Samsung and HTC like to gimp the specs. Like the HTC One has a Snapdragon 600, while the One Mini has a Snapdragon 400. Both are very capable processors, but the 600 is definitely better.

Our buddy @evleaks has taken to Twitter, not too long ago, to show off pictures of the Galaxy S4 Mini for Sprint. Now there's really no way to know that this is for Sprint in particular since there is no Sprint logo. but if you look in the status bar at the 4G icon, you'll notice it's not the Verizon LTE icon, or the AT&T LTE icon or T-Mobile's. Which leaves just Sprint. Just to refresh everyone's memory, since this one was announced way back in June, the specs of the Galaxy S4 Mini are:
- 4.3-inch qHD display 960×540
- 1.7GHz dual-core processor
- Andrid 4.2.2
- 1.5GB of RAM
- 8GB of internal storage; microSD card support
- 1900mAh battery
The Galaxy S4 Mini is definitely not a cutting edge device. But it is an option for those that don't want a 5-inch device. And there aren't many 4.3-inch devices out there, in fact I don't think Sprint has any that run Android. And when you want a 4.3-inch phone, you really can't be picky, because most people want larger phones. So the OEMs make larger ones.
How many of you would pick up a Galaxy S4 Mini from Sprint if the price were right? Let us know in the comments below.

Bharnobari Tea Estate (Alipurduar), March 5: Punching holes into the Bengal governments claim that it has stood by workers of closed estates, Anuradha Talwar today said there was considerable difference between reports sent to her by the Jalpaiguri district administration and the actual state of affairs.
The adviser from Bengal to the food commissioner of the Supreme Court was in Bharnobari closed since December 2005 this afternoon.
By not covering the workers of this estate under the BPL category, the state government has violated the instruction of the Supreme Court, said Talwar. The apex court had in 2004 asked the state government to include the labourers of all closed estates under this category. She urged workers to unite and move as a single force, failing which their problem would never be solved.
Earlier, a recce to the labour lines had revealed the actual picture. Talwars queries on BPL facilities, National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, Antodaya Annapurna Yojna and ration cards brought out the plight of the likes of Fulmani Kharia and the Gholes.
Residents of the Koila line, the Gholes Lala and his wife Koushila had suffered burn injuries almost a month ago. From then on, they have been languishing in bed going without meals for days, leave alone treatment. Talwar said it was unusual that job cards for the rural employment schemes, which should be with the workers, were kept in the panchayat office. She came down heavily on Madan Rout, the pradhan of Malangi, amid allegations levelled by workers that the job cards were being manipulated. That is why they keep them in the offices, said a worker.
The pradhan, however, refused to alone take the blame for not properly implementing the rural schemes. He made the block development officer (BDO) a party to the crime. Warden Tshering Lepcha, the BDO of Kalchini block, was unavailable for comment.
The Gholes claimed that their elder son Subhash was the sole bread-winner of the five-member family. The 14-year-old earns around Rs 500 a month from an eatery in Hashimara. Fulmani Kharia of the Chhota Bandhu line told Talwar that since her husbands death a year ago, she has managed to arrange for only one meal a day for her three children by selling firewood.
After her arrival at the garden, 46 km from Alipurduar town, around noon, Talwar had first visited the staff quarters before going over to the labour lines. Topping the list of grievances there was the fear that the electricity connection to the estate might be snapped soon as bills of more than Rs 3 crore were yet to be paid to the power department. This, the staff members said, would affect the drinking water supply to the closed garden.
The district administration report said the workers were covered by the Antodaya Annapurna Yojna and they have been getting work under the rural work scheme. But Fulmani is a proof that the actual scene is different. She is without work and had last received 18 kg of grain on February 22. Today she made bread but went without food herself so that she could feed her children
This is a clear picture of starvation, said Talwar.

Power-Efficient Time-Sensitive Mapping in Heterogeneous Systems
Heterogeneous systems that contain multiple types of resources, such as CPUs and GPUs, are becoming increasingly popular thanks to the potential of achieving high performance and energy efficiency. In such systems, the problem of data mapping and communication for time-sensitive applications while reducing power and energy consumption is more challenging, since applications may have varied data management and computing patterns on different types of resources. In this paper, the authors propose power-aware mapping techniques for CPU/GPU heterogeneous system that are able to meet applications' timing requirements while reducing power and energy consumption by applying DVFS on both CPUs and GPUs.

Carr makes cut, gets cut a paycheck
SoVaNow.com / June 20, 2013What was your job (summer or otherwise) when you were 21?
DaNiesha Carr made Prizery history when, in this fourth season of Summer Theatre, she becomes the first local actor to be hired for the professional cast. She joins the ranks of young people from up and down the East Coast (and a few farther afield) who spend about two months making theatre magic — and getting paid to do it.
A graduate of Halifax County High School, she's now at Averett University in Danville. Look for her in the ensemble of "Oliver!" and as Pilar in "Legally Blonde."
Carr describes the distinction as "an honor."
"The professional cast is full of such amazing talent, and I feel extremely lucky to not only get a chance to work with them all but also be considered an equal. Although challenging, this has to be one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. There's nothing like being paid to do what you love, and being referred to as 'professional' always makes me smile," she says in an e-mail.
So this summer, Carr sings, dances and spends hours holed up in The Prizery, where right now the cast is in rehearsal for all three shows simultaneously.
What might she be doing if she hadn't gotten on board?
"It amazes me how much of a toll college life can have on a person. I am always extremely busy during a semester, but I am notorious for being a true example of the word 'vacation' whenever I am at home. Had I not been hired at The Prizery I would have been at home continuing my yearly ritual," she quips.
She is the daughter of James and Debra Carr.
