Baden-Baden's glittering Christmas market is held at the Lichtentaler Allee gardens and outside the festively illuminated Kurhaus. At 5pm on 29 November, the Christmas Angel arrives by carriage at the festive stage. Other highlights are the illustrated fairytale trail, the avenue of stained glass windows with huge backlit pictures and the programme of seasonal entertainment on the stage. The Theme Days are particularly atmospheric and attractive, such as the Romantic Day (Mondays), when the whole market is romantically illuminated with lamps and candles, or the Family Day (Wednesdays), when every stall presents attractive family offers. On December 6, at 5.00 p.m., St Nicolas floats onto the Himmelsbühne in a hot-air balloon carrying presents, much to the delight of the children. Other "children's delights" are promised by the living nativity scene, the bakery and the "Heaven's letter box".
Christmas market - opening times:
28 Nov 2019 – 6 Jan 2020
Mon - Sun 11am - 9pm

Roger Ebert (1942-2013)
I've only known of Roger Ebert's death for an hour, but I can't focus on doing anything else right now, so I might as well write this, raw and unformed and rambling as it may be. So be it.
A couple weeks ago, Ebert stuck my video essay on Clint Eastwood's endings up on his blog. The last time I felt so close to fainting was when Samuel Delany first called me on the phone. (I bet Ebert would have appreciated that. He was, after all, a science fiction fan.) I wish I'd sent him an email to thank him, to say how utterly gobsmacked I was to have somebody who'd been a constant presence in my life suddenly notice something I'd done, and approve it. I was too shy. I knew it was the right thing to do, knew he might even be pleased that his notice meant something to me, but ... I was too shy.
Roger Ebert was always there in my life. Well, not always. I suppose before the age of 10 or 11, I hadn't seen his TV show (one with various names, but I'll forever think of it as Siskel & Ebert), a show that was born the same year I was. In the days before the internet, that show was a lifeline for a kid like me, living in New Hampshire, in love with movies and yet without any easy way to get information about any but the most mainstream and blockbuster. I would watch with a pen in my hand and take notes on which ones sounded interesting. Thus I discovered so many films that I later came to love (or loathe). Often, I had to wait till they were on videotape; sometimes, I was able to see them at a Boston theatre on one of my occasional trips to the city. Who I am as a film viewer was deeply shaped by those years of watching Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel argue about movies on TV.
Truthfully, it wasn't until he lost his voice that I came to love Roger Ebert, though. As my film taste was shaped watching the TV show, I tended to side more with Gene Siskel. Then, once I was in college in New York I was reading film reviews in the Voice and some of the film journals (whichever ones the Barnes & Noble at Astor Place carried: I'd grab a pile, sit in a chair, and read them cover to cover). Siskel and especially Ebert seemed, to a callow youth rather arrogant in his opinionating, utterly mainstream and utterly bourgeois. I suppose I was trying to expel his influence, to kill a father. Such is the nature of callow youths.
Then the Sun-Times put his reviews online. He started blogging. He became Master of Twitter. He expanded his blog to include all sorts of younger critics from around the world. I learned about Ebertfest. I learned about all he had done for film culture in Chicago. I learned.
And though our taste wasn't ever exactly the same, I found I loved reading his reviews. Actually, I liked that our tastes differed, because he was so good at expressing what he appreciated or didn't appreciate, even if my response was the opposite. What I had never known from the TV show was just what a marvelous writer Ebert was. A writer who happened to be a film critic. But a writer first.
Ebert's most interesting reviews aren't just reviews. They do the job a review is supposed to — they tell us about a cultural product we probably haven't yet encountered ourselves, and they give us the writer's take on it — but they are full of tangents, side remarks, bits of fact or philosophy. They are essays in the broadest and most classical sense: moments of thought. The familiar Ebert voice is always there in the words, and it is a comforting voice, an entertaining voice, the voice of a friend or beloved family member, somebody really smart and passionate, somebody you just want to talk to — about anything, really. It's no surprise that when he wrote his memoirs, he did so masterfully. His reviews were also pieces of memoir.
Could one critic ever be so important again? Probably not. The cultural landscape has fragmented, fractured, gone all rhizomatic. Overall, I think that's a good thing. I wouldn't want to go back to those days of having to rely on Siskel & Ebert for all my movie information. I like the easy access to variety today. But still. Roger Ebert, man. We often say a particular death is the end of an era. With Ebert, it really is.
He inspired millions of people to care about movies as something more than just entertainment, but without forgetting that entertainment is central to the experience, that visual pleasure and narrative cinema are nothing to be ashamed of.
Again and again, people have spoken of his generosity, his decency, his humanism. It is remarkable that a man who published three whole books of his most negative reviews could be so beloved! But Ebert wrote wonderful negative reviews. (Even of movies I like!) His generosity of spirit comes through, even as he is saying that a film is utterly awful, a terrible waste of time or effort or talent, even immoral. And when he praised, he praised like a poet.
I learned about one of my favorite movies, David Lynch's Blue Velvet, from the Siskel & Ebert episode where Ebert lambasted it. I wouldn't get to see the film for at least a year after that episode aired, but I remembered it, and I watched the movie while trying to evaluate what I thought of Siskel and Ebert's discussion about it. I decided I completely disagreed with Ebert on it. I still do. And I am utterly grateful to him for what he said, because it provoked me and haunted me and challenged me. There are worse ways to learn about aesthetics and morality, worse ways to learn about yourself.
Neil Steinberg at the Sun-Times chose a perfect quote from Ebert's Life Itself:
"'Kindness' covers all of my political beliefs," he wrote, at the end of his memoirs. "No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out."Carve those words in stone. Better yet, project them through celluloid.
Tonight, I will choose one of the movies from his most recent Sight & Sound ballot to revisit, probably The General because it would be nice to laugh, and to watch that most graceful of all screen graces, Buster Keaton, my favorite silent film actor.
Thank you, Roger Ebert. All our thumbs are raised high in your honor.
It's two hours now since I learned of Roger Ebert's death.
The signature closing words of Siskel & Ebert are today among the saddest in our language:
The balcony is closed.

PlayStation 3
What do you need help on? Cancel X
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD is a downloadable title for Xbox LIVE Arcade that takes the best elements of the classic THPS games and gives them a fresh update to create an all new skateboarding experience. Tapping into fans' muscle memories, the gameplay returns to controllers and focuses on the satisfaction of linking sick tricks for maximum points. Combining sharp visuals with the best controls ever in a Tony Hawk game, the feel is cutting edge yet timeless. The game was rebuilt and polished by Robomodo using Neversoft's original code and includes the best seven levels from THPS and THPS2 (Warehouse, School 2, Mall, Phoenix, Hangar, Marseilles and Venice). There is a combination of new school and old school pros (Nyjah Huston, Chris Cole, Eric Koston, Andrew Reynolds, Rodney Mullen, Lyn-z Adams Hawkins Pastrana, Riley Hawk and Tony Hawk himself) and the soundtrack is half classic THPS tracks and fresh ones. Multiple online multiplayer modes round out the action!

Designed by a creative master, La Grande Bellezza Gemstones exploits over thirty years of experience in the balance of form, proportion and color, creating a pen that is practically perfect; classic.
This 2018 collection is inspired from gemstones and their unique colors, realistically recreating semiprecious stones. This unique resin based new material has a high percentage of marble dust. Marble dust was added for three reasons: By adding this material, Pineider has produced a harder compound to increase the brilliance of each color with a final high gloss polish, meticulously applied by hand. The marble addition also serves to increase the specific weight of the material and consequently, the pen's perfect balance. And finally, realistically recreating a marble design from the colored primers mixed with the resin. The result is incredible: The Lapis Blue or Malachite Green can be mistaken for the real stones. The black resin, named 'Uber Black', is so deep that any other black pen just looks somewhat dark. Gemstones is truly a new inspiration for collectors.

Belkin Thunderstorm Speakers
Thunderstorm Is a Go! Up Close With Belkin's Handheld Home Theater
Thunderstorm Is a Go! Up Close With Belkin's Handheld Home Theater
The integrated iPad speaker Thunderstorm ($200 to pre-order), which Belkin introduced earlier this week, delivers sound so rich, it rumbles. Belkin constructed an entire soundproof room on the show floor to prove just how capable the Thunderstorm is at creating a cinematic audio experience for gaming, movies, and music.
An iPad is fully enclosed in the speaker dock system, which also triples as a cover and an extended battery (10 hours). Thunderstorm, which goes on sale later this month, has a 30-pin connector compatible with the iPad 2 and third-generation iPad, and a Lightening connector version is due for Summer 2013.
We got to hear — and feel — the Thunderstorm's booming sound at the Belkin booth, and while we didn't know what to make of the heavy integrated dock at first, the audio quality is undeniably fantastic and immersive. If you're a film junkie who watches a lot of movies on an iPad, then you'll definitely want to consider the Thunderstorm.

Dear LEGO:
I have just reviewed the new pictures of the 2009 sets, and one reaction overwhelmed all others: Where are the baseplates or plates used to create a base?
How can you sell us a drawbridge over a moat, when the moat is represented by one 4x8 blue plate? How can you have a set called the Venice Boat Chase, when again, water is represented by one 4x8 blue plate? The set is a boat chase, how can there be one plate to represent that?
In my opinion, this is one major fault that has been going on for some time. Once upon a time, all LEGO sets came with baseplates. Some even had little dots to help with the building placement. It gave each set somewhere to be placed, instead of six separate vehicles or what have you sitting on a desk with no setting under it. The old way also helped with transportation and storage, as I found out after making the Medieval Market on my living room floor, then had to figure out where to put it, and how to keep all the pieces together without being misplaced or lost.
Is it a cost cutting technique? A lack of available molds or pieces? Laziness? I do not know, and would never kill the golden goose, but this has frustrated me for quite a long time. I would gladly pay a few extra dollars to get a full set with baseplate or plates representing the base.
I have more, but do not want this rant to go on too long. What do you think? Am I crazy? I would love to hear what other feel about this. Thanks!

When ThinkGeek's Tauntaun sleeping bag debuted last year as an April Fool's joke, a million voices cried out demanding it be made. The company picked up on this disturbance and, now, you can finally preorder your very own alien kangaroo Snuggie for $100.
From ThinkGeek:
This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, printed internal intestines, and a plush lightsaber zipper pull. Now when your kids tell you their favorite Star Wars movie is "Attack of the Clones" you can nestle the wee-ones snug in simulated Tauntaun fur while regaling them with the amazing tale of "Empire Strikes Back".
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The zipper pull is a lightsaber! You can gut this Tauntaun just like in the film. Let's hope it doesn't smell worse on the inside because, really, just wash the damn thing.
The Tauntaun sleeping bag is due out at the end of this month, right in time for the holiday season. Check out ThinkGeek's epic promo video down below.

Sheikh On A Harley?
What? No Way?
Yes Way! and He Drops It!
What is a Muslim Sheikh doing on a bike (not just any bike - a Harley, man)?
What is this world coming to?
Sheikhs on motorcycles?
What's next?
Yusuf Estes is well known to the Muslim world as a prominent speaker for Islam and what it really teaches. But what about going just a bit too far?
Riding a motorcycle? After all, look at his age. Is this the way a sheikh of Islam is supposed to be acting? Comments (below) please.
While shooting a promo for Guide US TV, Yusuf Estes "Dropped" by a friend who has a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
While playing around, he dropped it but it did not get hurt (and neither did he).

[News] AppleTV aka "LowTide" App Ported To iPod Touch 4G
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
Posted by skygoat76 in news
Dustin Howett, developer of Safari Download Manager, has ported the recently discovered LowTide app, which is basically the Apple TV application, to the iPod Touch 4G.
Clearly not everything is going to work. AppleTV was never meant to be used on our iDevices, so things like touch response and resolution will be out-of-whack, but I'm sure after some tweaking we may possibly see something more usable here. As interesting as this sounds, its no easy task to maintain and modifying some of the data to get the app to work can be rather risky.
This port is NOT available for download as of yet, and the requirements to do so can be painful, even Dustin says it's not entirely a good idea. Chances are, you'll end up needing to restore your device after playing around with it. Nontheless, you just might see AppleTV coming to your iDevice in the near future. Who knows...
Quote:Fun fact: The AppleTV2,1 FrontRow app is NOT signed. It lacks any trace of LC_CODE_SIGNATURE, and gets Killed immediately.

Prior to 2012, Cisco and NetApp or EMC, both in partnership with Cisco, as well as HP on a stand-alone basis, were the primary pushers of the idea of converged infrastructure, which packages and manages server, storage and networking technology in a single solution, whether it is built-to-order like a VCE Vblock or assembled in the field like a FlexPod or VSPEX.
For 2012, that changed as all the other major storage and server vendors joined the fray, including Dell's Active Infrastructure and Converged Blade Data Center (pictured) solutions, the Hitachi Unified Compute Platform from HDS, and IBM's PureSystems.
The possibility of getting a lock on the most important part of a customer's data center and cloud strategy also attracted a number of startups, such as Simplivity and its OmniCube single all-in-one appliance, and the commodity hardware approach of Yottabyte.

The search found 146 results in 0.026 seconds.
Music consumption imbues a city's neighborhoods with a character all their own, contributing to a vibrant and dynamic map of urban cultures. Brick‐and‐mortar music retailers remain an important site for this consumption, persisting despite challenges posed by digitization. But the landscape of contemporary cultural consumption has been shaped by urban inequality over time.
Using a multi‐methods approach, we examine socioeconomic and demographic change in Buffalo, New York's, West Side neighborhood. We do this by performing a systematic case study of the neighborhood analyzing census tract data, crime data, key informant interview data from community leaders and organizational representatives, and content analysis data from local newspaper articles. Results suggest that although the neighborhood has shifted dramatically over the last forty‐five years, the changes have been uneven across the West Side.
Urban sociologists and gentrification scholars have long been interested in examining the combination of structural and micro‐level forces that result in the displacement and exclusion of low‐income residents from changing neighborhoods. However, the types of everyday activities and the social and spatial practices that exclude residents who remain in these neighborhoods are an understudied part of the gentrification story. How are exclusive spaces created? What are the specific social processes that lead to exclusive space?

TUSCUMBIA | A small group of students with hearing or vision impairments are attending the inaugural Camp Courage on the grounds of Ivy Green, Helen Keller's Tuscumbia birthplace.
TUSCUMBIA | A small group of students with hearing or vision impairments are attending the inaugural Camp Courage on the grounds of Ivy Green, Helen Keller's Tuscumbia birthplace.
The 10 students gathered Thursday night for the start of what organizers describe as their "Helen Keller experience."
The students, all of whom are either vision- or
hearing-impaired, were selected from throughout the Shoals and Fayette to attend the camp, The Florence TimesDaily reported.
State Rep. Johnny Mack Morrow of Red Bay, who helped create the camp, said the idea is to create "a true Helen Keller experience."
"Throughout the next two days, these children will have experiences using all their senses and will have the time of their lives with their days packed with activities," Morrow said.
That experience began Thursday night, with the students arriving at the Tuscumbia Train Depot and traveling by horse-drawn carriage to the Keller home.
Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia on June 27, 1880, and lived at the home.
Riding by carriage with several of the campers, Erica Ladner played the role of Helen Keller's teacher and friend, Anne Sullivan.
She made her way up the walkway as the dramatic scene played out where she first met young Helen.
"There's just something about being in the actual spot where it happened," Ladner said.
"Anne Sullivan wrote that she loved Helen when she first saw her," Ladner added. "She felt in her heart that something big was going to happen.
Our cast got goose bumps just performing this scene."
Camp Courage is about inspiring the children, showing them that they can become whatever they want, Ladner said.
Kassidy Gean, a 12-year-old student at Rogers School, said she loved the carriage ride.
"It was like I was riding in a chariot," she said.

Laid-back in Ocean Springs
Just a stone's throw from the Beau is one of our favorite small towns, Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
With its cottagey storefronts, streets lined with live oaks, and an eclectic mix of galleries, restaurants, and shops, it is a great place to stroll, chill, and chat up the locals. This old coastal community attracts lots of artsy types, making it both charming and hip at the same time.
It's also a pedestrian traveler's dream because many of its best offerings line two main drags, Washington Avenue and Government Street, which intersect in the heart of town. Among our favorites are Two Dogs Dancing, jam-packed with gifts for pets and the people who adore them; On the Menu: A Kitchen Gallery, a mix of fun and function with great kitchen tools, colorful tableware, and more; the famed Walter Anderson Museum of Art; and The Art House on Cash Alley, a gallery for a local artists' consortium. Many more shops and restaurants are sprinkled about the heart of Ocean Springs.
Our delicious, down-home breakfast at McElroy's on the Bayou fueled us for a day's shopping. For dinner, we tried the ultracasual Government Street Grocery, which has patio dining. Dave discovered the wonders of the muffuletta, an Italian-inspired, native New Orleans sandwich made with salami, ham, provolone cheese, and olive salad. The Grocery can attract a young crowd, so we over-40 types felt a little like the hall monitors, but we got over it when we tasted the food and saw the low prices.

Donate your hair to help the fight against childhood cancer
Interested in donating your hair? In St. Baldrick's head-shaving events, shavees raise money for childhood cancer research by pledging to shave their heads in support of cancer patients, who often lose their hair during treatment.
While St. Baldrick's does not collect hair donations, volunteers are welcome to participate at St. Baldrick's events to raise funds for childhood cancer research while donating their hair to another organization. It's a great way to help two charities at once and you can do it all in 5 easy steps:
Step One: Sign Up!
Sign up as a shavee or volunteer on the St. Baldrick's website. If you want to get your head shaved and donate your hair at the same time, you can sign up as a shavee. However, if you'd like to only donate your hair, it's best to sign up as a volunteer.
Step Two: Choose a Charity
Decide on where you'd like to donate. There are several charities that collect hair donations to make wigs for children with different types of hair loss, but there are also groups that give to adults. Choose the organization that best resonates with your reason of wanting to give.
Step Three: Spread the Word!
Let your supporters know that you plan to donate your hair through the message section of your St. Baldrick's event web page, Facebook, or email. And ask them to make a donation for childhood cancer research to honor your sacrifice.
Step Four: Make the Cut!
At your St. Baldrick's event, have your hair secured in several ponytails or braids and ask the barber to cut each of them off above the elastic.
Step Five: Mail Your Mane
Charities have varying requirements when it comes to sending them your hair donation. Be sure to follow their directions on how to pack and mail your mane.
Where to Donate Your Hair
Check out these organizations that collect hair donations to use for wigs:
Wigs for Kids
Wigs for Kids makes wigs for children and teens under the age of 18 who have lost their hair due to medical reasons. They require at least 12 inches of hair that is not dyed, bleached, or highlighted. To donate your hair, the hair must be bound in a ponytail.
Locks of Love
Locks of Love makes wigs for kids under the age of 21 who suffer from long-term medical hair loss. They require at least 10 inches of hair that is not bleached or highlighted. The hair must be bound in a braid or ponytail.
Pantene Beautiful Lengths
Pantene Beautiful Lengths makes wigs for women who have lost their hair due to cancer. They require at least 8 inches of hair that is not bleached, permanently dyed, permed, or chemically straightened. The hair must be bound in a ponytail.
Children with Hair Loss
Children with Hair Loss makes hair available to children under 21 with medically-related hair loss. Their guidelines include at least 8 inches of hair in length, preferably not bleached or highlighted. The hair must be ponytailed or braided.
Childhood Leukemia Foundation
Childhood Leukemia Foundation offers a variety of services to children with cancer and their families, including providing custom-made 100% human hair wigs. They require at least 10 inches of hair that is chemically untreated. The hair must be bundled in a braid or ponytail.

The classification system for some of the ICD-10 disorders contain diagnostic exclusion rules so that a person, despite having symptoms that meet diagnostic criteria, will not meet criteria for particular disorders because the symptoms are believed to be accounted for by the presence of another disorder. In these cases, one disorder takes precedence over another. These exclusion rules are built into the diagnostic algorithms.
The developers of WMH-CIDI 3.0 established two versions of the diagnoses in the algorithms for a number of the mental disorders: a 'with hierarchy' version and a 'without hierarchy' version. The 'with hierarchy' version specifies the full diagnostic criteria consistent with the ICD-10 classification system (ie the exclusion criteria are enforced). The 'without hierarchy' version applies all diagnostic criteria except the criterion specifying the hierarchical relationship with other disorders.
One example of a disorder specified with and without hierarchy is Alcohol Harmful Use. ICD-10 states that in order for diagnostic criteria for Harmful Use to be met, criteria cannot be met for Dependence on the same substance during the same time period. Therefore, the 'with hierarchy' version of Alcohol Harmful Use will exclude cases where Alcohol Dependence has been established for the same time period. The 'without hierarchy' version includes all cases of Alcohol Harmful Use regardless of coexisting Alcohol Dependence. Note that a person can meet criteria for Alcohol Dependence and the hierarchical version of Alcohol Harmful Use if there is no overlap in time between the two disorders.
Throughout this publication, the ICD-10 prevalence rates are presented with the hierarchy rules applied. The comorbidity data are presented without hierarchy, so as to provide a more complete picture of the combinations of symptoms and disorders experienced by individuals. The ICD-10 disorders specified with and without hierarchy are: Generalised Anxiety Disorder; Hypomania; Mild, Moderate and Severe Depressive Episode; Dysthymia; and the Harmful Use of Alcohol, Cannabis, Sedatives, Stimulants and Opioids.
Anxiety disorders generally involve feelings of tension, distress or nervousness. A person may avoid, or endure with dread, situations which cause these types of feelings. The disorders within this group assessed in this survey are: Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Social Phobia, Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Panic Disorder
A panic attack is a discrete episode of intense fear or discomfort that starts abruptly and reaches a peak within a few minutes and lasts at least some minutes. At least four symptoms must be present from the list below, one of which must be from the first four:
The essential feature of Panic Disorder is recurrent attacks of severe anxiety (panic), which are not restricted to any particular situation or set of circumstances (ie do not occur in the presence of a phobia, or in situations of danger) and are therefore unpredictable.
Characterised by marked and consistently manifest fear in, or avoidance of, at least two of the following situations:
At least two of the following anxiety symptoms must have been present together with the feared situation and one of these symptoms must be from the first four listed:
The person also experiences significant emotional distress due to the avoidance or the anxiety symptoms and recognises that these are excessive or unreasonable.
Social Phobia
Characterised by fear and/or avoidance of one or more social or performance situations such as:
The presence of Social Phobia is also characterised by:
Generalised Anxiety Disorder
Characterised by a period of at least six months with tension, worry and apprehension about everyday events and problems. The disorder is not due to a physical disorder or substance use. At least four of the following symptoms must be present, with at least one of the first four:
Hierarchy rules have been applied to Generalised Anxiety Disorder. To meet criteria for the 'with hierarchy' version:
- the Generalised Anxiety Disorder is not exclusively associated with social and performance situations (ie Social Phobia); and
- the Generalised Anxiety Disorder does not occur exclusively within the duration of (and is not exclusively associated with) obsessions and compulsions (ie Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).
The original exclusion rules from the ICD-10 also consider the presence of other phobic disorders and hypochondriacal disorder. As the 2007 SMHWB did not collect information for Specific Phobia or Hypochondriacal Disorder, the Generalised Anxiety Disorder prevalence may include some persons with these disorders.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Either obsessions or compulsions (or both) are present on most days for at least two weeks. Obsessions (thoughts, ideas or images) and compulsions (acts) share the following features, all of which must be present:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Characterised by symptoms experienced within six months of exposure to an extremely traumatic event which would be likely to cause pervasive distress in almost anyone. In order to be assessed for this disorder, the respondent had to have reported experiencing at least one of the following traumatic events:
The respondent was asked to determine which event was their worst traumatic event. To meet the criteria for this disorder, the person must report all of the following reactions to their worst traumatic event:
Affective disorders involve mood disturbance, or change in affect. Most of these disorders tend to be recurrent and the onset of individual episodes can often be related to stressful events or situations. Disorders within this group include: Depressive Episode, Dysthymia and Bipolar Affective Disorder (of which Hypomania and Mania are components).
Hypomania is characterised by elevated or irritable mood to a degree that is abnormal for the individual concerned and sustained for at least four consecutive days. It leads to some interference with daily living but to a lesser degree than Mania. At least three of the following symptoms must be present:
Hierarchy rules have been applied to Hypomania. To meet criteria for the 'with hierarchy' version, the person cannot have met criteria for an episode of Mania in their lifetime.
The original exclusion rules from the ICD-10 also consider the presence of any Depressive Episodes, Cyclothymia and Anorexia Nervosa. As the 2007 SMHWB did not collect information for Cyclothymia or Anorexia Nervosa (and the presence of Depressive Episodes was not operationalised by the diagnostic algorithm), Hypomania may include some persons with these disorders.
Mood is elevated, expansive or irritable and definitely abnormal for the person concerned. The episode lasts for at least seven days (unless the episode is severe enough to require hospitalisation), causes severe interference with personal functioning, is not directly caused by substance use or a physical condition, and is characterised by at least three of the following (four if the mood is merely irritable):
Depressive Episode
A Depressive Episode lasts for at least two weeks and is characterised by the presence of a number of the following symptoms:
The survey collected information to differentiate between three different types of Depressive Episode, based on the number of symptoms the person experienced:
Hierarchy rules have been applied to all of the Depressive Episodes. To meet criteria for the 'with hierarchy' versions, the person cannot have met criteria for either Hypomanic or Manic episodes in their lifetime.
The three types of Depressive Episode collected by the 2007 SMHWB are also mutually exclusive. A person cannot be diagnosed with Moderate Depressive Episode if the criteria for a Severe Depressive Episode have already been met and a diagnosis of a Mild Depressive Episode is considered only when the other two types of depression have been excluded. This criteria is applied regardless of whether the 'with hierarchy' or 'without hierarchy' versions of the disorder is used.
A disorder characterised by at least two years of constant (or constantly recurring) chronic depressed mood, where intervening periods of normal mood rarely last for longer than a few weeks.
During some of the periods of depression at least three of the following are present:
Hierarchy rules have been applied to Dysthymia. To meet criteria for the 'with hierarchy' version:
Bipolar Affective Disorder
Characterised by episodes of Mania or Hypomania either alone or in conjunction with Depressive Episodes. For this survey, a diagnosis of Bipolar Affective Disorder was given if the person met criteria for Mania or Hypomania and had experienced one episode of mood disturbance (Mania, Hypomania or Depression). The survey does not allow differentiation according to the type of the current episode.
Substance Use Disorders involve the Harmful Use and/or Dependence on alcohol and/or drugs. The misuse of drugs, defined as the use of illicit substances and the misuse of prescribed medicines, included the following drug categories: opioids, cannabinoids, sedatives, and stimulants.
Alcohol Use Disorders
Detailed questions about alcohol use were only asked if the person had at least 12 alcoholic drinks in the 12 months prior to interview.
Alcohol Harmful Use
There is clear evidence that the use of alcohol was responsible for (or substantially contributed to) physical or psychological harm, including impaired judgement or dysfunctional behaviour which may lead to disability or have adverse consequences for interpersonal relationships.
The nature of the harm should be clearly identifiable by including at least one of the following:
Hierarchy rules have been applied to Alcohol Harmful Use. To meet criteria for the 'with hierarchy' version, a person cannot have met a diagnosis of Alcohol Dependence during the same time period (ie the duration of the two disorders must not overlap).
Alcohol Dependence Syndrome
A maladaptive pattern of behaviour in which the use of alcohol takes on a much higher priority for a person than other behaviours that once had greater value. The central characteristic is the strong, sometimes overpowering, desire to consume alcohol despite significant alcohol-related problems. A diagnosis was achieved if three or more of the following occurred within the same year:
Drug Use Disorders
Assessment for Harmful Use and Dependence was only conducted if use of an illicit drug or misuse of a prescription medication occurred more than five times in the respondents' lifetime. A general assessment was made for Harmful Use and Dependence of any drugs as well as separate assessments of Harmful Use and Dependence for four specific categories of drug categories: opioids (eg heroin, methadone, opium); cannabiniods (eg marijuana, hashish); sedatives (eg barbiturates, librium, serepax, sleeping pills, valium); and stimulants (eg amphetamines, dexedrine, speed).
Other Substance Harmful Use
This survey collected information on:
There is clear evidence that the use of opioids/cannabinoids/sedatives/stimulants were responsible for (or substantially contributed to) physical or psychological harm, including impaired judgement or dysfunctional behaviour which may lead to disability or have adverse consequences for interpersonal relationships.
The nature of the harm should be clearly identifiable by including at least one of the following:
Hierarchy rules have been applied to Other Substance Harmful Use. To meet criteria for the 'with hierarchy' versions, a person cannot have met a diagnosis of Dependence on the same substance during the same time period (ie the duration of the two disorders must not overlap).
Other Substance Dependence Syndrome
This survey collected information on:
Opioids/cannabinoids/sedatives/stimulants Dependence Syndrome is a maladaptive pattern of substance use in which the use of the substance takes on a much higher priority for a person than other behaviours that once had greater value. The central characteristic is the strong, sometimes overpowering, desire to take the substance despite significant substance-related problems. Diagnoses were achieved if three or more of the following occurred in the 12 months prior to interview:
