A new ESPN documentary miniseries, OJ: Made in America, has triggered a conversation on the O.J. Simpson trial from an entirely different angle. The series, which follows Simpson from his college football years through to his murder trial and its bizarre aftermath, played the Tribeca Film Festival Sunday. After the screening, director Ezra Edelman was met with some challenging questions concerning a disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is caused by repeated head injuries. Notably, one audience member asked whether Edelman believes that CTE influenced Simpson's behavior.
The director expressed strong skepticism, but ultimately sparked a much-needed discussion about the negative effects of contact sports such as football. Edelman claimed that, although doctors have tried to convince him otherwise, he does not believe that repeated head trauma was a factor in O.J. allegedly killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman (a crime of which O.J. was notably acquitted). The director expressed a strong will to stick to the proven facts while telling Simpson's story. He dismissed the theory as a "cop out":
OJ wasn't the way he was and wasn't abusive because he played football. I think that sort of discounts the personality defect that exists. I didn't want to give him that out and say, by the way, it's because he played football. As much as it would've been a nice narrative twist at the end … I don't believe it.
The question stemmed from a theory created by Bennet Omalu, the forensic pathologist who first discovered CTE and inspired the 2015 drama Concussion. In an interview with People magazine in January, the doctor said he was willing to bet his medical license on his hunch that Simpson had the disease.
However, as Edelman pointed out, there is no way to prove this. At a present, CTE can only be determined by examining brain tissue that's been extracted after death. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of CTE include cognitive impairment, emotional instability, substance abuse, and potentially aggression, among many others. As a degenerative disease, it grows worse over time.
Simpson had been vulnerable to head injuries in the football fields for decades before Brown Simpson's murder. During the 1960s, he joined the USC Trojans, and eventually went on to win the Heisman Trophy in 1968. From there, he joined the Buffalo Bills and became a national celebrity, going on to commentate and even act. Recent research, in fact, shows that 87 out of 91 former players tested positive for the disease. Though it's anyone's guess whether Simpson is another such case, the staggering prevalence indicates that the NFL needs to make some changes.

Welcome to the The Rocky Horror Phenomenon, a documentary about the show, the movie, the music, the stars, the creators and, of course, the fans worldwide. Everything Rocky Horror … in one insane documentary.
Unlike other documentaries, our focus is not just the fans and casts from all over the world, but also the whole story, from 1970s London through today. We have done some 60 interviews to date, including rare interviews with cast and crew who haven’t told their stories before, gathered from the United Kingdom, the United States, Italy, Germany and Australia, with a final shooting trip to New York planned for spring of 2020.
Among those we’ve interviewed so far are Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell, Barry Bostwick, the director of both the stage show and the movie, Jim Sharman, Jeremy Newson (Ralph Hapschatt), Rayner Bourton (the original Rocky from the play), and the Transylvanians Chris Biggins, Annabel Leventon, Gaye Brown, and the late Lindsay Ingram. We’ve also talked to costume designer Sue Blane, composer Richard Hartley, make-up artist Peter Robb-King, producers Michael White and Lou Adler, DoP Peter Suschitzky and many more from the film’s and the show’s original technical and creative crew.
The story is spiced up with clips from die-hard fans, actors from recent revivals of the play and the 2016 TV remake; plus rare photos, documents, video clippings, and merchandise from behind the scenes and all over the world. Our primary goal is to explore why „Rocky Horror“ is such a worldwide phenomenon, and how it survived and evolved for almost five decades. In the works since 2014, the film will have feature length, and we hope to get it chopped, chilled and served by the end of 2020.
So, if you get the impression that this will be the definitive documentary about „Rocky Horror“ … we sure hope you’re right!
For further questions or inquiries, drop us a line. Feel free to share this site – we do appreciate any support.
Not too many people know about the complete history of „Rocky Horror“, despite the movie and the show being around for almost five decades. Its longevity let to an unprecedented and unforeseeable impact on phenomena like punk, the 70s pop culture, on artists like David Bowie, Elton John, Freddie Mercury and Marc Bolan, musical theatre in general, and finally the social environment and the emerging sub-culture which arose around the cult of the movie in the United States, and later in Australia, Europe, Asia and even some African countries like Tanzania and the Republic of South Africa.
Even though „Rocky Horror“ is often belittled as „camp“ and „queer“, the piece did not only have an impact on the LGBTQ+ community but on all major and minor groups of the population, primarily on juvenile viewers in their teens and twenties. It’s often said that the story of „Rocky Horror“ and the evolvement of its characters resemble a ride of passage from innocent youth to adulthood.
Based loosely on schlocky 50s and 60s Science Fiction movies, the concept of a stage play called „They came from Denton High“ was written in 1973 by out-of-work actor Richard O’Brien in London. After presenting the script and some rather rough parts of the music, Australian director Jim Sharman agreed to direct the play in the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, a notorious venue for alternative and progressive artistic stage work.
Soon a creative team was formed, consisting of young costume designer Sue Blane, Australian set designer Brian Thomson and musical director Richard Hartley. Also, a cast was fairly quickly assembled, to become a game-changer for most of the actors (who also played their characters later in the movie), like Tim Curry, Patricia Quinn, and Australian talent Nell Campbell. The cast also included actor Raynor Burton („Rocky“), singer Julie Covington („Janet“) and Christopher Malcolm as „Brad Majors“, who later took over the direction of the show and also played the rebel and X-Fighter pilot Zev Senesca in „Star Wars V – The Empire Strikes Back“.
With a limited production budget of only 2.000 pounds, provided by producer and impresario Michael White, the Rocky Horror Show premiered on June 19 1973 in the Theatre Upstairs on Sloane Square for an audience of only 63 people. But the success was massive! Within days Rocky Horror became the hottest show in town, and everybody wanted to see it. Even well-known celebrities were turned down at the door due to a sold-out house and no hot tickets left. Unfortunately, the Royal Court Upstairs had commissioned the play for only three weeks, so it moved on to another venue down the King’s Road, an old cinema which was destined to be dismantled soon. It was here that U.S. producer Lou Adler became aware of the piece and secured the rights from the English Stage Company for the U.S. market.
Meanwhile, director Jim Sharman took „The Rocky Horror Show“ to Sydney, Australia, and cast actor Reg Livermore as the new „Frank N. Furter“. To this day Reg is the only actor in the leading role who hasn’t seen Tim Curry’s performance before going on stage, and thus had his very own, much wittier and darker interpretation of the character. Though the play wasn’t an instant success in Sydney, like it was in London, word of mouth had it that the „The Rocky Horror Show“ became successful within the first weeks and continued for several years in Australia. While Reg Livermore left the production after only eight months (he was later succeeded by Max Phipps, best known for his work as „The Toadie“ in „Mad Max 2“), the production in Australia continued until 1979.
Also in 1974, Lou Adler brought The Rocky Horror Show to Los Angeles, to his own venue called „The Roxy“, a nightclub/varieté theatre on Sunset Boulevard. Taking Tim Curry as Dr. Frank N. Furter with him, and, for the first time, introducing Meatloaf as the character of Eddie, the show became a success in L.A., where it ran for nine months continuously. Being so successful in both London and Los Angeles, the plan was made to get the Rocky Horror Show down to Broadway, New York, and to make a movie.
Due to some unfortunate marketing- and communication decisions made by the producers, the show, which premiered at the Belasco Theatre on Broadway, was ceased after only 43 performances and was the first big failure in its short but intense history.
Meanwhile, the production of the movie „The Rocky Horror Picture Show“ took place at the old Hammer Horror Studios at Bray, an hour outside of London. While set designer Brian Thomson was looking for an outside location, he became aware of a rather deteriorated, ramshackle mansion only a few hundred yards away from Bray, called Oakley Court. Though the floorboards were rotten and the rooftop leaked rain, director Jim Sharman and Brian Thomson decided to film certain scenes of the movie in the mansion, which was used earlier for various Dracula and Hammer Horror flicks as well.
Besides Tim Curry, Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell, Richard O’Brien and Meatloaf, who had played their designated characters on stage before, the film introduced American sweethearts Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick in the role of Brad and Janet. For both young actors „The Rocky Horror Picture Show“ became one of their first feature films, and certainly one of the most iconic roles. Another big introduction of the movie were the „Transylvanians“, a group of illustrious people of all shapes and sizes, dressed in ridiculously colorful clothes, dancing the Time Warp and witnessing the birth of Frank N. Furter’s very own creature „Rocky“ (played in the movie by model/actor Peter Hinwood).
It’s surely worthwhile to take a closer look at the Transylvanians, as these actors were not only extras but stars in their own rights. Actress Gaye Brown, for example, had played the role of „Sophisto“ in Stanley Kubrick „A Clockwork Orange“ in 1971, whilst Stephen Calcutt became the stand-in for Darth Vader in all of the first three Star Wars movies.
Besides the very successful career of Susan Sarandon, who later won an Academy Award for her interpretation of Sister Helen Prejean in „Dead Man Walking“, the various roles of Tim Curry and the undisputed stardom of Meatloaf during the 1980s and 1990s, „The Rocky Horror Picture Show“ helped launching a lot of less obvious but nonetheless successful careers of different cast- and crew members. The second Academy Award for a person directly involved in the production of „The Rocky Horror Picture Show“ went to Alan Ladd, Jr., by the time head of marketing of 20th Century Fox, who later formed his own production, called „The Ladd Company“, producing legendary Science-Fiction classic „Blade Runner“ and later became the Oscar-winning producer for the movie „Braveheart“.
Other well-known members of the film crew of Rocky Horror are director of photography Peter Suschitzky, who became David Cronenberg’s DoP of choice and is credited with movie classics like „Star Wars V – The Empire Strikes Back“, „Mars Attacks“ and „Eastern Promises“, and make-up artist Peter Robb-King, who worked on films like „Aliens“, „Batman Returns“ and the „Matrix“-Trilogy, and is best known for his artistic work on Darth Vader’s head and face in „Star Wars VI – Return of the Jedi“ (apparently after Vader took his helmet off).
Though the stage play was a huge success in both London and Los Angeles, the film flopped at the box offices in both the UK and the U.S. during the opening weekend and was quickly pulled off the regular cinemas. Not even 20th Century Fox had any confidence in the success of the movie and was not willing to spend any money at all on the marketing of the movie. Until a young marketing executive named Tim Deegan took matters in his own hands and decided to distribute the flick into the so-called „midnight screenings“ on campuses and in smaller village theatres.
It was in one of those cinemas, the Waverly in New York City, that a crowd of people picked up the movie and came back to see it week after week. Similar things happen in Texas, San Diego and Los Angeles, and „The Rocky Horror Picture Show“ slowly became a sub-cultural phenomenon. People started to dress up as the characters, shouted wicked things back to the actors on screen, and threw rice, toast and hot dogs throughout the theatre. The „Audience Participation“ was born, headed by the new fan club’s president Sal Piro, and attended by well-known fans like Dori Hartley, who is credited to be the first person in full „Frank N. Furter“ dress and make-up.
But the audience participation did not stop at this point. As people started to run up on stage and perform together with their idols on screen, the so-called „Shadow Casting“ was born. Whilst the first performances only lasted for one song or a single scene, it quickly became a show-within-a-show, when fans started to perform during the whole length of the movie. And with the success of the movie „Fame“, which featured the New York fans and their performance of „Time Warp“, shadow casting and „The Rocky Horror Picture Show“ became a phenomenon all across the United States and later Europe and Asia.
But the story of this undisputed and unprecedented success of „Rocky Horror“ does not end here. From the late 1970s through the 1980s, not only the film began to spread across the whole world, but also the stage play became more and more popular, as various productions started to tour all throughout Europe, Asia, and Australia. In New Zealand, the show helped to launch the career of Academy Award winner Russell Crowe, who’s first professional stage job was to play „Eddie“ in a late 1980s production. Also, Michael Stipe, singer and creative head of rock back R.E.M. was often seen attending the midnight showings of „The Rocky Horror Picture Show“ in full make-up and costume.
Because parts of the creative team had a fall-out in the late 1990s, the rights for the show and the movie were separated into different companies, and the stage show was rewritten to match the sequence of the movie, introducing the Transylvanians onto the stage, and getting rid of the original designs by Brian Thomson. Also, the demand arose to fill bigger halls and theatre palaces, though the Rocky Horror Show was originally designed for a small theatre.
And while the stage show is being performed in bigger and bigger theatres in front of thousands of people, the shadow cast community still does not cease to exist, but keeps attracting a young fanbase who finds their friends and as social community within the casts.
The main goal of the documentary „The Rocky Horror Phenomenon“ is to answer two questions: Why of all films and plays is „Rocky Horror“ such a phenomenon, and how has it changed the lives of the people involved as cast and crew or as fans.
The production of „The Rocky Horror Phenomenon“ started in late 2014 with the research and some early interviews in London, and has taken place on three continents, in five countries and dozens of cities. The principal shooting will be finished in May/June of 2020 with an expected date of release by end of 2020.
A distribution deal has not been signed yet.
A preliminary version (with a duration of 37 minutes) has been screened during the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival in 2016 and on „Science Fiction Double Feature“ event from the British Film Institute BFI in London, also in 2016.

Victoria's triple-0 operator has renewed demands that telcos provide technology to locate people making emergency calls on mobile phones.
More than half the 6500 calls the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority receives daily are from mobiles. Unlike calls from landlines that provide exact addresses, operators have to glean location information from the caller, which delays response and, if required, dispatch times.
Location technology has been used for several years in Europe and the US and the emergency authority believes Australian carriers will not implement it here unless it is mandated.
The authority, which answers calls for police, fire, ambulance and SES services, regards the issue as its No. 1 public safety concern and lack of commitment from carriers was ''inadequate''.
''The time to verify a caller's location from a mobile phone is on average 40-50 seconds, and in some individual calls it takes many minutes,'' it said in its annual report. ''Delays in confirming a caller's exact location subsequently delay the emergency response and may affect patient survival.
''There has been little action by Australian telecommunications carriers and during the year ESTA called on the federal government to legislate to force mobile operators to introduce appropriate location services.''
Telstra spokesman Scott Whiffin said the mobile phone industry was working with operators to introduce automated location that would work across all networks.
''It's an important - but complex - capability and we're working to introduce it as a matter of priority. We are on track to implement the solution in the first half of next year,'' Mr Whiffin said.
Telstra, Vodafone and Optus already provide a manual location service using their networks at the authority's request in cases where the caller does not know their location.
The authority's head of corporate affairs, Rosie Mullaly, said the most recent commitment to have automated location information by November failed. ''There are committees and there are working parties but it hasn't delivered the solution and our view remains without it being mandated, regulated, it is dragging on,'' she said.
A state government spokesman said: ''This is important technology and we look forward to working with the new Commonwealth government for a solution.''

Unleashing Creativity with Custom Ant Farms: A Journey for the Curious Mind
There's something inexplicably fascinating about watching a colony of ants navigate the complex maze of their own creation. It's a microcosm of hustle, order, and collaboration. But why settle for the ordinary when you can dive deep into the realms of creativity with custom ant farms? This isn't just about giving these tiny architects a new home; it's about marrying science with art, education with entertainment, and ultimately, crafting an ecosystem that sparks joy and curiosity in every observer.
Why Ant Farms?
Before we delve into the nitty-gritty of custom ant farm inspirations, let's tackle the elephant in the room – or should we say, the ant in the jar? Why are we, as seemingly rational beings, drawn to the idea of watching ants go about their day? Is it the sheer wonder of observing a sophisticated society at work, or perhaps a reflection of our own societal structures? Or maybe it's the simple joy of connecting with nature on a micro scale. Whatever your reason, embracing this curiosity is the first step towards creating a unique ant habitat that's more than just dirt behind glass.
Feed Your Imagination: The Boundless World of Custom Ant Farms
Think of your ant farm as a canvas. The soil, tunnels, chambers, and ants themselves are your palette and brushstrokes. Here are a few inspirations that can take your ant farm from modest to majestic:
- Themed Ant Cities: Ever fancied a miniature Gotham City buzzing with ant-sized superheroes? Or perhaps an ant's version of the Seven Wonders of the World? Infuse storytelling into your ant farm design by creating themed environments that not only look spectacular but also offer plenty of tunnels and chambers for exploration.
- LED Lit Marvels: Bring your ant farm to life at night with LED lights! Strategically placed lighting can cast magnificent shadows and highlights, turning your ant colony into a living piece of art.
- Natural Wonder Replicas: Mimic the grandeur of natural formations like Mount Everest or the Grand Canyon on a diminutive scale. It's a fun way to introduce geographical learning while providing diverse terrains for your ants to conquer.
- Sci-fi Extravaganzas: For the science fiction enthusiasts, imagine creating a space colony for your ants. Incorporate materials that resemble futuristic habitats, complete with 'space stations' and 'launch pads' for the ants to explore.
Engaging with Your Miniature World
Once you've built your custom ant farm, the adventure has only just begun. Observing your ants navigate their new environment offers endless entertainment and educational opportunities. But here's where the philosophical part kicks in: What does this tiny society teach us about collaboration, resilience, and community? How do these observations resonate with our own experiences?
And now, dear reader, we circle back to the thought-provoking questions that might have been milling about in your brain. Why did you find yourself interested in ant farms in the first place? Is it the allure of playing creator to a bustling mini civilization, or perhaps a deeper, philosophical curiosity about life's complexities on a micro-scale? How will you share this newfound knowledge and interest with others? Is it through social media, a blog, or simply during conversations over dinner?
Conclusion: A World in a Grain of Sand
To consider the microcosm of an ant farm is to marvel at the complexity and beauty of life in its many forms. In the words of the famed poet William Blake, To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour. Custom ant farms offer a tangible piece of this infinite curiosity and wonder, bridging the gap between science and art, the tangible and the philosophical.
So, whether you embark on this journey out of a sheer love for ants, a passion for creativity, or a deep philosophical quest, remember that it's more than just an ant farm. It's a universe waiting to be explored.

[Broadcast - 31 January 1997]
ITN TO SUE LM OVER BOSNIA ARTICLE
ITN is suing Living Marxism magazine over its February cover story which dissects the news provider's coverage of the Bosnian war, writes Emma Keeling.
An ITN spokeswoman said the company was suing for libel over the story written by German journalist Thomas Deichmann - an edited translation of an article written by Deichmann for German news magazine Novo.
The Living Marxism article concerns ITN's famous pictures of emaciated Muslims behind barbed wire in a Serb-run camp in Bosnia.
In a statement, ITN labelled the allegations 'outrageous' and 'untrue' and said the reports 'were prepared and presented with the utmost professionalism and integrity'.
The ITN team - reporter Penny Marshall and cameraman Jeremy Irvin - was the first report on the camp in Trnopolje and won several awards for its coverage of the conflict, including honours from the Royal Television Society and Bafta.
The picture of Muslim Fikret Alic behind barbed wire became one of the best-recognised symbols of the Bosnian conflict and was reproduced in newspapers around the world.

Hi there, I am looking for an EL panel that can be cut into different shapes. For example, I need to cut a panel into a smaller size, 2.5 cm x 6.5 cm. If I use a panel like this one, I can have 5 of the small size panels. Is it possible with this panel?
Unfortunately not. You can cut this to the desired size (make sure to seal the edges, the high voltage of these panels will be a painful zap) however, the leftover pieces can’t be used as they won’t have a connector or anywhere to solder on power leads.
Thanks, so is there any Adafruit EL panel that can be cut freely? If I purchase an EL panel, I will be cutting into multiple of 2.5cm x 6.5cm and 3.1cm x 6.3cm. Of course, I will make sure that each cut panel has a terminal on each side (front and back) for AC input.
Just to clarify, does this EL panel have a single thin conducting metal strip covering around all edges on a light emitting side? If so, i should be able to cut it into multiple small panels, as long as both the front and backside have metal terminals for AC current. Can you post higer resolution images showing the front and back sides, so I can clearly see how metal terminals are positioned across its surface areas?
Yes, nearly all the EL can be cut as long as the connection to power isn’t severed, it’s worth noting that most will only have one point that they’re powered from, so the other cut EL parts get scrapped after they’re cut.
Yep, unfortunately, I don’t have a better camera to take a photo with, but it’s a thin strip running the whole perimeter. If you’d like a photo from another angle not shown on the site we can get it added to the page for you.
Hi Bryce, I was able to install an Adafruit EL panel into a vintage Sony Walkman with a lower AC voltage!. The new EL panel works great. Check my post in another thread for “Electroluminescent (EL) Panel Starter Pack - 10cm x 10cm Aqua #### SKU: ADA627”. Due to their ages, those Walkmans are showing greatly varying AC voltage from its inverter, ranging from 40 to 90 V AC. Those Adafruit EL panels work just fine even with those varying voltages.
I’ve just seen it, that looks excellent! Well done with the restoration! Let us know if you’d like to turn this into a project on the site, there’s a store credit reward available if your project write-up gets published
Here is the comparison of both aqua and white EL panels.
I tried those two EL panels and I definitely love the aqua EL panel better. Depending on how you cut and use the panel, you get slightly different colour. This photo shows more bluish colour, which I really love.
Well, I must say, I’m glad that I did a bit of research and found this Core Electronics website! I had no idea that, in 2021, I could buy an EL panel and cut into desired shapes and replace old and fading EL panels from those vintage Sony DAT Walkmans. I thought all technologies used in these vintage Walkmans are obsolete and I wouldn’t be able to get any of them.
But, a bit of fiddling to put an EL panel is really worth it at the end. Having a brand new blight aqua EL backlight panel really makes a big difference with those Walkmans. It’s almost like having a brand new one!!! EL technologies are really cool and I hope we will see more amazing things based on those technologies.
Hi there! I am needing some assistance in calculating what type of inverter(s) I should get for my project using El Panels.
I am planning to purchase two 10cm x 10cm El Panels and I will be cutting both of them into circles approximately 4cm - 5cm in diameter (I’m using them as eyes on a puppet). I was wondering if I would still need x2 seperate inverters that each take x4 AAA batteries, or if I could get away with running both of the panels on a single x4 AAA inverter since they will be cut smaller? Or am I completely wrong and I need a different inverter? It’s all very confusing for me so any help would be appreciated!
Unfortunately EL panels are the most load intensive of the EL products so running just 1 panel will max out most inverters. Cutting the panel smaller should reduce the load but it’s hard to estimate how much.
Adafruit have written a killer guide on EL wire which goes into the math of how it works if you are interested.

A review of metformin overdoses reported to poison control centers over a five-year period found serious adverse events were rare, though the elderly appeared to be at greater risk. Among younger people with a higher body mass index , lifestyle modification was no more effective than metformin, and for older individuals with a lower body mass index, metformin was no better than placebo in preventing diabetes. Blake; Stanifer, John W. Multiple potential mechanisms of action have been proposed, including; inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I , activation of AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK , inhibition of glucagon-induced elevation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate cAMP with reduced activation of protein kinase A PKA , inhibition of mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase , and an effect on gut microbiota. In , metformin, unlike some other similar compounds, was found not to decrease blood pressure and heart rate in animals.
At the end of the day, the only thing that is really proven to help you lose weight is changing your diet. Exercise can help too, but what you eat is by far the most important. For a proven way to lose weight without hunger, check out this article. Like many before you, you may have discovered that restrictive dieting and excessive exercise are temporary solutions to lose weight.
Study after study has proved that unless the digestion and metabolism change, an attempt to lose weight will most often fail.

What role should employer-sponsored health insurance plans play in U.S. health care?
House Republicans have bashed the health reform law as the beginning of the end of the employer-sponsored health insurance market, since it would be less expensive for some employers to drop their plans and pay a fine to the federal government. The House Ways and Means committee released a report last week finding 71 of Fortune 100 companies could save $422 billion by simply paying fines for their employees, instead of the insurance plans they offer now.
But Republicans haven't been huge fans of employers dictating health insurance coverage for individuals in the past. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., proposed getting rid of the employer-sponsored health insurance tax exclusion in his failed 2008 presidential campaign, which could incentivize people to buy their own plans. Gov. Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for 2012, hasn't gone that far yet. But he does want to "equalize" the tax treatment of health insurance, giving individual buyers the same tax breaks that employees get on their employer health insurance.
Should people get their health insurance through their employers? What considerations should lawmakers take into account when writing policies that shape insurance coverage?

In the past, the norm was to keep livestock out of the woods, which still holds today, unless the area is intentionally designed to be a silvopasture.
Silvopasturing maintains a forest structure while allowing enough sunlight to the forest floor to grow grasses and forbs. The concept of Silvopasturing is a method that can be used to benefit livestock and /or wildlife. The structure and plant diversity of silvopastures is attractive to many wildlife species including wild turkey, deer, and many songbirds.
Silvopasturing can be a beneficial method for increasing forage for livestock while providing shade that reduces heat stress to the animals during the summer and wind chill during colder months. The appropriate areas need to be selected for a silvopasture. Some of the current silvopastures in use were once cleared fields that reverted back to forest. The proper spacing of trees, soil nutrients, and proper planting of grasses and forbs are necessary for the success of a silvopasture.
When livestock use a silvopasture the proper rotation time of the animals from one silvopasture to the next is critical to maintaining the grasses and forbs. In most cases the grazing rotations are done in short cycles. It is important to consult with an agricultural livestock expert that understands the grazing habits of the type of livestock that will be using the silvopasture.
For the design of the forest, a forester can mark the trees to be cut so that desirable levels are created that will be suitable to either warm or cold season grasses and/or forbs. Depending on the site the forester can recommend thinning or harvesting rotation cycles for the trees so that optimal growth conditions are maintained for the trees and pasture.
As I stated in my article on Deer Habitat Management: Getting Started, that to clear a section of the woods for a food plot was one of the last options to consider. For deer the goal should be multiple food sources in order to hold them to the area for a longer period of time. Maintaining both forest and herbaceous cover creates multiple food sources along with minimizing erosion, improving water quality and reducing wind velocity.
Note: In the article Deer Habitat Management: Getting Started, there are two other species that should have been included as species to eliminate: honeysuckle and black birch. In a prior article I discussed a strategy for honeysuckle. Black birch and other undesirable trees and shrubs can be cut, girdled, or applying the proper herbicide. If possible, cutting the trees is the most desirable method for getting rid of undesirable live trees. Leaving standing dead trees from girdling or applying herbicide is considered a man made hazard, and if someone should get hurt from these trees, the landowner could be subject to a lawsuit.
The season of the year that undesirable species should be cut is very important in preventing stump sprouts or reseeding. Most of the undesirable species are better eliminated before their seeds become ripe and when low moisture and high heat conditions are causing stress to the trees and shrubs. Desirable trees and shrubs that you want to sprout and /or regenerate are best cut after they have dropped their leaves.


Cheshire East – run by Labour and Independents – have recently started charging again at some car parks, having suspended charges due to the coronavirus situation. While this does not directly affect Poynton, several local residents have complained to us that the ticket machines at car parks in Macclesfield, Wilmslow and other towns no longer accept cash. Not everyone has a bank card or smart phone. Your Conservative councillors have protested about this.
The argument that coins might transmit the virus is unconvincing, as most ticket machines now have sealed cashboxes, which are taken out and emptied back at the council’s offices, while virtually all large organisations use cash counting machines.
As the car park ticket machines still require drivers to enter their car number plate details using a keypad, Cheshire East are clearly not concerned about the risk of spreading the coronavirus.

Hunter-gatherers living in glacial conditions produced pots for cooking fish, according to the findings of a pioneering new study led by the University of York which reports the earliest direct evidence for the use of ceramic vessels.
Scientists from the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden and Japan carried out chemical analysis of food residues in pottery up to 15,000 years old from the late glacial period, the oldest pottery so far investigated. It is the first study to directly address the often posed question "why humans made pots?" The research is published in Nature.
The research team was able to determine the use of a range of hunter-gatherer "Jōmon" ceramic vessels through chemical analysis of organic compounds extracted from charred surface deposits. The samples analysed are some of the earliest found in Japan, a country recognised to be one of the first centres for ceramic innovation, and date to the end of the Late Pleistocene - a time when humans were adjusting to changing climates and new environments.
Until quite recently ceramic container technologies have been associated with the arrival of farming, but we now know they were a much earlier hunter-gatherer adaptation, though the reasons for their emergence and subsequent widespread uptake are poorly understood. The first ceramic containers must have provided prehistoric hunter-gatherers with attractive new ways for processing and consuming foods but until now virtually nothing was known of how or for what early pots were used.
The researchers recovered diagnostic lipids from the charred surface deposits of the pottery with most of the compounds deriving from the processing of freshwater or marine organisms. Stable isotope data support the lipid evidence, and suggest that the majority of the 101 charred deposits, analysed from across Japan, were derived from high trophic level aquatic foods.

Today we bring you one of the top trends hitting us for 2019: 3D Design.
We knew that it was only a matter of time before 3D replaced the simple flat design of yesterday. This means big things in the realm of designers. You should look for gradient colours, 3D rendered shapes and realistic avatars showing up all over the inter-webs. This also means more 3-dimensional typefaces popping off the page with shadows and bezels making an appearance. 3D is going to be big this year so make sure to take a look before making your design choices.

Here's an odd question...
I'm doing some research for a book and I'm wondering if there is a screenwriting term for those scenes where everyone is happy and things are going well, but somewhere else something bad is happening to a character that everyone cares about? For example - recently on Brothers & Sisters the entire family was celebrating and dancing but in the corner of the frame you see someone answering the telephone. You see a look of fear and dread come over this person's face.
There's no term for the scene. If you rack focus from the foreground to the background, well, that's a rack focus. If everything's in focus, then it's deep focus.
I'd call it "ironic counterpoint." But I'll ask my blog readers.

Dallas and Fort Worth’s public transportation agencies are working with the North Central Texas Council of Governments to determine how residents are using the region’s growing transit system and how it might be changed to accommodate an increasing population.Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Trinity Railway Express (TRE) passengers will be asked to participate in two types of surveys beginning next month, while Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) and Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) passengers will be surveyed from September through November.The transit agencies will contribute $900,000 to the $1.5 million project’s cost. The governments council will contribute the remainder, agency officials said in a joint press release.Beginning the first week of February, DART and the TRE will conduct "stop-to-stop" surveys, which will continue through mid-March, in an effort to determine the trip patterns at each rail station and bus stop. The goal: gather information from 20 percent of train and bus passengers. To be conducted from the conclusion of the "stop-to-stop" survey through May, the other poll will involve surveyors asking randomly selected riders questions in an effort to collect demographic information and details about the use of public transportation. The goal is to capture information from 10 percent of passengers.
The project will provide transit agencies with a travel-behavior model that will allow them to project future ridership and specific destinations with a high demand. The information could also improve the transit agencies' competitiveness when applying for federal funding for service expansion and enhancement, officials said.
The region's transit passengers were most recently surveyed in 2007-08. Since then, the regional transit network has grown with DART's opening of the Green and Orange lines and the debut of DCTA's A-train.

This week in NYC Live Music, Galactic and Big Sam bring the NOLA funk to NYC to help us get in the Mardi Gras mood. Plus, we’ve got a few other interesting shows including Small Black, Superhuman Happiness, Railroad Earth w/ Cornmeal, Heartless Bastards and more. Read on for my weekly highlight reel.
The big-ticket highlight of the week is the “Howlin’ for Hubert” celebration at the Apollo, a benefit show to celebrate the musical legacy of Hubert Sumlin. The special guest list is a long one and includes the likes of Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Gary Clark, Jr., Elvis Costello, Buddy Guy, Dr. John, Ivan Neville, Robert Randolph, Derek Trucks, and Susan Tedeschi.
For something smaller and less sold out, Small Black will bring their mellow indie electro to Brooklyn Bowl on Wednesday night for the Bowl’s “Local X” series (featuring local Brooklyn bands). Despite the gag-worthy “chillwave” label people keep using for their music, I’m generally digging what these guys are doing.
Hot off their recent opening slot for Rubblebucket at the Bowery, Superhuman Happiness is back for more eclectic, horn-laden grooves. This week they’re at Zebulon in Williamsburg.
The Best Buy Theatre goes full-on bluegrass hoedown this weekend with Railroad Earth and Cornmeal.
A band I have been hearing a lot about lately is Heartless Bastards. I don’t know them that well, but I dig what I’ve heard so far. They’re at Webster Hall on Friday, so clearly they’re doing something right.
Mardi Gras kicks off this week and Big Sam’s Funky Nation is helping bring the funk party to NYC, playing Brooklyn Bowl this Friday.
For an even bigger NOLA throwdown, look no further than Terminal 5 this Saturday for Galactic. They’ll be playing with special guests Corey Glover (of Living Colour), Corey Henry (of Rebirth Brass Band), and with opening acts Steel Pulse and The Soul Rebels.
If you prefer your funk grooves a bit on the jazzier side, then check out Billy Martin and Wil Blades Duo at Brooklyn Bowl on Sunday night.
As always, those are just a few of the highlights as I see ’em. Read on for other interesting shows this week in NYC….

Expectations are funny things. The San Francisco 49ers are a mild disappointment this season at 7-4, while the St. Louis Rams are a bit of a pleasant surprise at 5-6. But considering the 49ers entered the season with hopes of a top overall playoffs seed, and the Rams had to turn to a journeyman backup quarterback weeks ago, the perceptions are well-founded. Sunday, the two teams face off in a 4:05 p.m. ET game in San Francisco. Neither team has much in the way of fantasy stars, but there will be some guys to keep an eye on:
Start in every league: ...
A healthy Stacy might have earned must-start consideration, but considering there aren't even any guarantees he'll play Sunday, fantasy owners should tread lightly. If he plays, he ought to be a fine fantasy play, and if he doesn't Cunningham could be decent as well, but with question marks abound, this is more of a "pay attention all the way until game time" situation than anything else. ... The Rams' defense is seventh in the NFL in fantasy points, and that despite only 10 points combined in their first four games. Their average of 13.6 fantasy points per game from Week 5 onward would be the best in the NFL over the full season. They take on a strong 49ers team that doesn't allow a lot of points to defenses, but still, they are probably the best bet for fantasy production among St. Louis' options.
Despite the team overall having improved production of late, Clemens still has a season-high of 15 fantasy points. Against a top-flight defense like San Francisco, stay far away. But you knew that. ... Austin has scored 46 fantasy points in his last two games, but that performance has been on the backs of fluky, largely non-repeatable plays and questionable defenses. He's still largely indistinguishable from his receiving corps mates Pettis and Givens and tight end Cook. None is worth much more than desperation plays. ... Zuerlein's second season hasn't lived up to the heights of his rookie year, but he's scored eight or more fantasy points in six of his last seven games. Still, he's unlikely to ever offer huge fantasy production, so playing him is basically settling. Aim higher.
Start in every league: Frank Gore, Defense/special teams
Yeah, Gore is coming off some miserable production of late, with only seven combined fantasy points in his last two. Regardless, he still ranks as the No. 9 fantasy running back on the season, and the Rams have been easy pickings for other running backs. He'll be fine. ... The 49ers' defense was pretty iffy early in the season, but have ramped their performance way up of late, and clock in as No. 6 in the NFL. And they get to face Kellen Clemens.
It's been a disappointing second season as the starter for Kaepernick, who ranks only 15th among fantasy quarterbacks. He's improved his production of late (Week 10 against Carolina excepted), but still, he's not the must-start his owners figured he'd be. ... Boldin scored 15 fantasy points in San Francisco's first game against the Rams this season, but has had far too many disaster games to be counted on. ... Only two teams allow fewer points against tight ends than St. Louis, and Davis has been shut down in some games. Just be aware, because if you have him, you're still probably using him. ... Shutting down kickers is more of a fluke than a repeatable skill, but still, no one allows fewer points to kickers than the Rams. Dawson has scored in the double figures in three straight, but this might not shape up well for him.
If Gore's struggles are really a sign of a slide, Hunter stands to be the likely beneficiary, but he only has one fantasy point in his last two games combined. ... Manningham has done basically nothing since his return from injury, and until he does, fantasy players shouldn't buy in. ... It looks like Crabtree will make his season debut Sunday, but fantasy owners who have been waiting should hold off at least a week to see how Crabtree looks and how the team uses him.

Today many strategies have been developed to enhance CXCR
Today, many strategies have been developed to enhance CXCR-4 receptor Carbenicillin on the cell surface, either by modifying the cell culture medium or by modifying the CXCR-4 gene in BMSCs to stimulate stem cell recruitment (Jiang et al., 2012, Liu et al., 2014b). For instance, the pre-conditioning of sub-cultured BMSCs with hypoxia or cytokines (such as IL-6, HGF, etc.) before infusion has the potential to increase CXCR-4 expression and improve BMSCs\' migration in vitro (Ponte et al., 2007, Schioppa et al., 2003, Shi et al., 2007). However, this therapeutic method has little in vivo potential because the inflammatory environment would severely impair the BMSCs\' homing ability over the long term (Hung et al. 2007). Although CXCR-4 gene-modified BMSCs, which are modified by viral vectors (adenoviral and lentiviral vectors), proved effective for enhancing BMSC migration within the AKI micro-environment, their high toxicity and immunogenicity may cause some long-term safety issues and restrict clinical application (Clements et al., 2009, Liu et al., 2013). Unlike viral vectors, non-viral vectors provide a safe alternative for targeted gene delivery in BMSCs, but their transfection efficiency is not high (Liang et al. 2010). Thus, substantial improvement in the transfection efficiency is required for effective therapeutic application of BMSCs. Many reports have demonstrated that micro-bubble-mediated ultrasound irradiation could greatly enhance the delivery efficiency of extra-cellular genes and drugs by forming some transient pores in the plasma membrane (Deelman et al., 2010, Escoffre et al., 2013a, Zhou et al., 2012). Our group has previously proved the synergistic effect of combining ultrasound with micro-bubbles and PEI, which could greatly enhance hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) gene transfection efficiency in sub-cultured BMSCs, and the transfected BMSCs can still maintain their reproductive activity and multi-directional differentiation capability (Li et al. 2013). It would provide a novel non-viral transfection method for effective gene therapy in BMSCs that may be applied to clinical application. In our study, we tested CXCR-4 transfection efficiency in BMSCs by combining UTMD and PEI and examined the effect of CXCR-4 over-expression on the migratory capacity of experimental BMSCs both in vitro and in vivo. FCM assay showed the percentage of cells expressing CXCR-4 protein on the cell surface was significantly higher in the P+UTMD group compared to other groups at 24 and 48 h after CXCR-4 transfection. WB analysis also indicated that combining UTMD and PEI would increase functional CXCR-4 receptors on the cell surface at 24 and 48 h post-treatment. Transwell migration assay showed migration was most pronounced in the P+UTMD group, which expresses the highest level of cell surface CXCR-4. Thus, all these results suggest that combining UTMB and PEI could markedly increase CXCR-4 gene delivery in BMSCs, and this may enhance stem cells migration capacity in vitro. We also analyzed the homing ability of experimental BMSCs toward AKI kidney tissues. The number of DAPI-labeled BMSCs in AKI kidney tissues was much larger in the P+UTMD group than those of other groups at 24, 48 and 72 h post-treatment; this is consistent with the finding that this group expressed the highest levels of functional CXCR4 on the cell membrane. The goal of this study was to find an effective non-viral method of achieving high CXCR-4 gene transfection efficiency in sub-cultured BMSCs, which will be important for enhancing stem cell migration capacity both in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that over-expression of CXCR-4, via combining UTMD and PEI, could markedly augment BMSCs\' homing ability within the AKI micro-environment. The combination of UTMD and PEI has never previously been used to improve stem cell migration; thus, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to do so. The improvement of BMSC homing ability is critical for its clinical application, and much work needs to be done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this method in vivo. To become a useful therapeutic option, certain parameters, like acoustic intensity, micro-bubble dosage and treatment time, must be optimized. In conclusion, we found that combining UTMD and PEI could enhance CXCR-4 gene expression in sub-cultured BMSCs. This, in turn, facilitates cell migration and cell retention at the targeted AKI kidney tissues. This finding may open a new approach in cell-based therapy of AKI.

Special guest Coffee Stain this week from my son Charles Porter who works as a church planter in the nation of Tanzania.
Are you living with urgency?
Some people enjoy horror movies. Because their lives are so dull, they need an adrenaline rush maybe, who knows? But what if, as CS Lewis envisions in “Dawn Treader”, what if that worst nightmare came true?
Last night at 2:15 am, Tahnya burst into the bedroom, frantic. “I can’t find Alana anywhere.” Sleep was instantly banished. Every parent’s worst nightmare. A lost child, in the middle of the night. I glanced in the kids’ room and quickly threw on some lights. Then I checked the doors. Still locked from the inside. Good.
But still no Alana. I returned to the kids’ room and searched a little more thoroughly. There, deeply buried in the corner under Joshua’s bed, wrapped in blanket, hidden by a bean bag, was the little Prison Break star.
The relief was amazing, sweeter than dessert. But I cannot banish from my mind those few brief moments of utter desperation as we frantically, frenetically, with total abandon, searched for our daughter. In those moments, I had no thoughts about the other kids. I didn’t stop loving them, but they weren’t lost. They were safe.
If I truly believed that the lost were lost, that children God had redeemed from darkness where still out there, lost, alone, stolen, would my work take on a greater urgency? If I truly believed in eternity and eternal destinies?
Living a little more urgently today.
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:10, NIV)
I’m not arguing. I’m simply explaining why I’m right. Internet
Dreams come in a size too big so that we may grow into them. -Josie Bisset

Joey Bridge is the other modular Mustang in Drag Radial carrying a Ford Racing 5.4 Aluminator block, weighing in at 330ci. The Bridge crew was trying different torque converters to maximize the modular engine. So far the combo is good for 8.20s-8.30s, which took the team to the final against Tony Akins at Joliet. Even though Joey got a slight holeshot, he was unable to keep the nose of his New Edge GT out front long enough to take the win. If dragstrips were 1,310 feet long, Joey would've won.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — One thing has become apparent for the Cornell men the last two seasons: They’ll live and die by the three-pointer.
On Saturday against Syracuse, the Big Red got burnt.
Cornell led by as many as 11 points early in the first half, but a 2-for-17 start from behind the three-point line in the second half plagued the Big Red as they fell, 78-63, to the Orange.
“I thought we had pretty good shots, we just couldn’t make them,” coach Brian Earl said. “It just didn’t go our way at all.

To get a full answer you should really get in touch with the owner of the app, because it does really depend on how their track is constructed and how they intend it to work. I have one 50-minute sleep track which takes you down into delta (http://www.mindamend.com/shop/sleeping-and-dreaming/sleep-induction-isochronic-tones/) and that is designed to just get you to sleep, so you just let play until the end. If you played that track on repeat it might make you jump and wake you up, as the track begins at a higher frequency. I have another 8-hour sleep track which is meant to be played all throughout the night (http://www.mindamend.com/shop/sleeping-and-dreaming/deep-sleep-8-hour-sleep-cycle/). So it does depend on the individual track you are using.
Additionally, this root may help you lose weight and feel more energetic. Women who take maca find they have a bit more energy and fewer aches and pains. Maca is popularly included in sports drinks and nootropics that help improve athletic performance. Much of the research has been done on men, in regards to athletic performance using maca, but studies have also shown women benefit as much or even more. Finally, it may help you stabilize your emotions. Specific studies have shown that maca can help relieve the symptoms of mild depression and mood swings.
PMS: There is a little research that supports the efficacy of brainwave entrainment for PMS symptom reduction in women. Women with long-standing and severe forms of PMS were administered photic stimulations for a series of 3 menstrual cycles. Following the photic stimulation, it was noted that women reported 64% improvement by the second menstrual cycle and 76% improvement after all three cycles.
Ten years prior to the events of Sun and Moon, Anabel was found unconscious on a Poni Island beach by Looker and Nanu, who had just completed a mission for the International Police. She had lost most of her memories, only able to tell them her name, that she came from Hoenn, that she protected a tower there, and that she was a powerful Trainer. After being placed in the care of the International Police, they detected incredible amounts of Ultra Wormhole energy coming from her, implying that she was a Faller who was lost in a wormhole for a significant time. Anabel has never been informed of this, however.
I can’t thank you guys enough for saving my life. I tell everybody I know about your guys. I love you guys. I word of mouth advertise and give my testimony to the power of your technology almost everyday. I am only 30 years old, but since I was 17 teen years old my life was a miserable roller coaster ride. I ended up being diagnosed with fibromyalsia, bipolar disorder, adhd, manic depression, sever anxiety, severe depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and you name it. Because of your product, I have never felt better in my entire life. I can cope and manage and more. I can finally sleep a full night without tossing and turning waking to knots in my back and stomach. I can finally stand straight and tall without feeling like I have a pinched nerve in my neck. I have energy again, and a renewed passion for life!

If you're already a carb lover, it's likely that nothing can come between you and a doughnut when stress hits. First rule of thumb: Don't completely deny the craving. According to MIT research, carbohydrates can help the brain make serotonin, the same substance regulated by antidepressants. But instead of reaching for that sugary bear claw, go for complex carbs. "Stress can cause your blood sugar to rise, Mangieri says, "so a complex carb like oatmeal won't contribute to your already potential spike in blood glucose."
Targeted hemispheric changes: Some speculate that specific alterations in brain waves can be made on an individual basis. In other words, you can target one frequency in one hemisphere (via the right ear) and another distinct frequency in the other hemisphere (via the left ear). The left ear affects the right hemisphere and right ear affects the left hemisphere.
First of all thank you for your amazing website, I have a question regarding these matters, I can make both binaural beats and isochronic tones for myself but I doubt for low frequencies states (Theta and Delta) which one is better? Because I searched a lot and saw that binaural beats are better for low frequencies and for high frequencies (Beta Gamma Lambda….) isochronic tones are more effective. Also, for Alpha states some said isochronic and other said binaural.
With a value of $12.95, This is a deep Theta meditation, with rain and storm in the background, perfect for DEEP meditation and relaxation, which we offer you for FREE today. The MP3 ramps in steps slowly down to 5.5 Hz. Many people may find this session is so deep that they fall asleep during the session. Others may experience lucid visualizations, since this level of Theta is closely correlated with REM sleep. This session also uses a protocol which alternates stimulation between the left and right ears and eyes, which is particularly useful for people who are hyperactive. Best listened to with headphones.

Gamma brainwaves aren’t just limited to helping you get into the zone; they also act as a natural anti-depressant. With regular production, these brainwaves can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while improving happiness. People who meditate often not only achieve a higher level of compassion due to the increased production of Gamma brainwaves, it also creates the environment for a happy life.
Absolutely. Binaural beats were first discovered over 150 years ago, and their use in brainwave entrainment audio has been the subject of a great deal of scientific exploration over the last 35 years in particular. Millions of people use brainwave entrainment music to enhance their quality of life and to experience deep relaxation. In fact, brainwave entrainment technology is now used for more than just meditation. It is also used by a variety of practitioners and private users for improving self-confidence, stress relief, pain management, relaxation, improving and concentration and improving the quality of one's sleep. If you would like to read an objective third party report on binaural beats, please refer to this Wikipedia article.
Binaural beats were the first method discovered for brainwave entrainment and works by delivering tones of different audible frequencies to the two ears with the difference in frequency between the two tones being the frequency of entrainment. The difference in frequency between the two tones must be less than 30 hertz, and this resulting frequency is called a beat or the target frequency, and it is processed in a brain region called the olivary body. When listening to such tones with stereo headphones, the two hemispheres of the brain become synchronized at the target frequency.
The results of using EquiSync for only 3 months have been phenomenal! Profound and positive changes have occurred , and continue to occur, in my being. These transformations have become obvious to family and friends as well. I am 71 yrs old and feel better than when I was in my thirties. My energy levels remain high with less sleep. I work out at the gym vigorously five days a week – bicycling and swimming are part of the regimen as well. I volunteer services at Hospice and nursing homes. My short term memory has improved to the point that others remark on my remembering their names after meeting them only once several weeks in the past. Sometimes I find that I’m reading fine print without my glasses. I spent the greater portion of my “productive” years as a monk but had lost the ability to meditate due to the development of A.D.D. Now my ability to stay focused and concentrate has remarkably returned and am reaching meditative states that I’ve not reached in years. Each new day is now seen as another opportunity to serve.

So you see, it’s all about where your personal journey is taking you, and what direction of evolution you are wanting to explore. The purpose of this site is to assist you in making an educated decision about what product is right for you, and to ensure that you are only recommended a high-quality product that will provide you with powerful and noticeable results. The great news is that many of the benefits of using Brainwave Entrainment (improved sleep patterns, release of anti-aging hormones, whole-brain functioning, etc.) are simply side-effects of using any type of brainwave entrainment audio.
I typically feel overwhelmed by the numerous things that need to be accomplished, which leaves me feeling anxious and rushed. This particular combo has really helped me to slow down today and not feel so uptight, which sadly, is not easily accomplished. I use other modalities to shift my body into parasympathetic mode, but I can't seem to stay there. This program seems to be helping dampen down triggers that cause my body to shift into sympathetic state inappropriately.
Everyone experiences stress, and not all stress is bad. However, individuals who experience acute episodic and chronic stress are at increased risk for developing stress-related health problems. This article outlines the relationship between stress and health and discusses the role of exercise in managing stress. Exercise recommendations and stress management tips are provided.
"When you're stressed, there's a battle being fought inside you," Mangieri says. "The antioxidants and phytonutrients found in berries fight in your defense, helping improve your body's response to stress and fight stress-related free radicals." Research has also shown that blueberry eaters experience a boost in natural killer cells, "a type of white blood cell that plays a vital role in immunity, critical for countering stress," says Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, Health's contributing nutrition editor.
When a person is under stress, more stress hormones are released and manufactured. Adaptogens help the adrenal glands respond more effectively and efficiently to the excess in hormones. When stress stops, adaptogens help the adrenal glands shut down more quickly. Adaptogens also support adrenal function by allowing cells access to more energy and preventing oxidative damage.
Hearing is believing. Click play below to experience the incredible anxiety relieving power of Brainwave Entrainment. Listen with headphones or a decent set of speakers and with your eyes closed. As you listen take slow, deep, steady breaths and watch how quickly the Isochronic tones are able to relax you. But make sure to read the disclaimer before you listen as this sample is extremely sedating.
The aim of this study is to identify tendencies in the effectiveness of relaxing audio stimuli that could be verified through further focused experiments. A series of brainwave entrainment (BWE) techniques for inducing relaxation will be presented consisting of different binaural phenomena (BP). The BP will derive from the binaural sine wave beat, widely acknowledged in rhythmic BWE literature. ... [Show full abstract]View full-text
Turns out, science says there is something to needing “fresh air”—even opening a window can help get more oxygen to your brain, soothing stress. “We live so much of our lives indoors, that when stress hits, one of my go-to techniques is to get outside or open a window,” Dr. Serani says. “Taking in a nice deep breath of crisp fresh air can immediately shift your neurochemistry.” If you’re overwhelmed with work, it can seem hard to take a break; but a quick step outside is even recommended by the American Psychological Association. When you come back, you’ll be recharged and ready to take on the challenge.
The mechanism for this is that when your eyes or ears are exposed to a particular frequency of pulses or beats, the thalamus first distributes this information to the entire brain, including the visual and cerebral cortex where neural activity begins to synchronize to the incoming frequency, producing hemispheric synchronization and a balance of brainwave activity across the brain.
