Machine learning may help improve multiple sclerosis symptoms, according to a new study. The research, which was conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Warwick in the UK, looked at how machine learning could be used to predict and improve the symptoms of MS.
The study found that machine learning could be used to predict which patients would respond well to certain treatments, and also to identify new potential treatments for the condition.
The findings suggest that machine learning could be a valuable tool

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that can cause a range of symptoms, including muscle weakness, fatigue, problems with balance and coordination, and vision problems. There is no cure for MS, but treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Now, a new study suggests that machine learning may be able to help improve the symptoms of MS.
The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of Edinburgh in the UK, looked at data from more than 1,400 people with MS. The data included information on the participants’ symptoms, as well as MRI scans of their brains.
Using machine learning, the researchers were able to identify three distinct types of MS. They found that each type was associated with different changes in brain structure.
Importantly, the researchers also found that people with one of the three types of MS were more likely to respond to certain treatments than people with other types.
This is significant because it means that machine learning may be able to help doctors choose treatments that are more likely to be effective for individual patients.
The findings are published in the journal Neurology.
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
MS is a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that disrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body. The CNS includes the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is thought to be an autoimmune disease, meaning the body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue. The cause of MS is still unknown. Scientists believe that in people with MS, something triggers the immune system to mistakenly attack myelin, the fatty substance that surrounds and protects nerve fibers in the CNS. This damage causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body and produces symptoms that can range from mild to severe. Most people with MS are diagnosed between 20 and 50 years of age, although onset can occur in children and adults over age 50. Women are about 2-3 times more likely than men to have MS.
How can Machine Learning Help?
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. It is being used in a variety of medical applications, including the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS).
MS is a chronic, degenerative disease of the nervous system. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe, and there is no cure. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and slowing the progression of the disease.
machine learning may help improve MS symptoms by:
1. Identifying patterns in large data sets that could lead to new insights about the disease.
2. Helping to develop more personalized treatments based on an individual’s specific disease profile.
3. Automating the analysis of MRI images to speed up diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression.
4. Identifying early signs of disease relapse so that treatment can be started as soon as possible.
The use of machine learning in medicine is still in its early stages, but it holds great promise for the future treatment of MS and other diseases.
What are the Benefits of Machine Learning?
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. This means that machine learning systems can automatically improve given more data.
machine learning is already being used in a number of different ways to help improve multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms. For example, machine learning is being used to develop better and more personalized treatments for MS, as well as to improve the accuracy of MS diagnosis. In addition, machine learning is being used to develop novel therapies for MS, such as BCG therapy.
How does Machine Learning Work?
Machine learning is a method of teaching computers to learn from data, without being explicitly programmed. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention.
One of the most important aspects of machine learning is its ability to automatically improve given more data. This process is known as “learning” or “training” the machine. After being presented with a large enough dataset, the machine will be able to automatically improve its performance by identifying patterns and making predictions.
Machine learning is already being used in a number of different fields, such as marketing, finance and healthcare. In healthcare, machine learning is being used to develop better treatments for diseases such as cancer and heart disease. It is also being used to improve diagnosis and predictions of patient outcomes.
One area where machine learning may have a significant impact is in the field of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic disease that affects the nervous system, causing a wide range of symptoms including muscle weakness, vision problems and difficulties with balance and coordination. There is no cure for MS, but there are treatments that can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
Machine learning could potentially be used to develop more effective treatments for MS by helping to identify patterns in large datasets that could lead to new insights about the disease. Machine learning could also be used to improve diagnosis and predictions about patient outcomes.
What are the Drawbacks of Machine Learning?
Despite the potential benefits of machine learning in healthcare, there are also some potential drawbacks that should be considered. One of the main concerns is data privacy. In order to train machine learning models, large amounts of data are needed. This data is often personal and sensitive, and there is a risk that it could be misused if it falls into the wrong hands.
Another concern is that machine learning algorithms may not be able to keep up with the pace of change in healthcare. Medical knowledge is constantly evolving, and new treatments are being developed all the time. If machine learning algorithms are not regularly updated, they may start to make inaccurate decisions.
Finally, there is a risk that machine learning may actually exacerbate existing inequalities in healthcare. If machine learning systems are only designed to work with data from a certain type of patient, then they may inadvertently discriminate against other groups of patients who don’t have access to the same data.
How can Machine Learning be Used in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment?
There is no cure for multiple sclerosis (MS), but there are a number of treatments that can help manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. One promising area of research is using machine learning to improve MS treatment.
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data and improve their performance over time. This could be used to develop more personalized and effective treatments for MS.
One way machine learning could be used in MS treatment is by helping to identify which patients are most likely to respond to certain treatments. This would allow doctors to tailor treatments specifically for each patient, which could lead to better outcomes.
Another way machine learning could be used in MS treatment is by helping to predict relapses, or periods when symptoms get worse. This would allow patients and their doctors to take steps to prevent or manage relapses before they happen.
Machine learning is still in its early stages and more research is needed to see how it can be best used in MS treatment. However, it has the potential to greatly improve the lives of people with MS by providing more personalized and effective treatments.
What are the Future Prospects of Machine Learning in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment?
Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating chronic disease that affects the central nervous system. There is currently no cure for multiple sclerosis, and treatments are focused on managing symptoms and slowing disease progression.
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that uses algorithms to learn from data. Machine learning has been shown to be effective in various medical applications, such as diagnosing diseases, predicting patient outcomes, and recommending treatment options.
Recent studies have shown that machine learning may also be effective in multiple sclerosis treatment. One study found that a machine learning algorithm was able to predict which patients would respond well to a certain multiple sclerosis treatment. Another study found that machine learning-based methods may be able to identify new multiple sclerosis subtypes.
The use of machine learning in multiple sclerosis treatment is still in its early stages, but the future prospects are promising. Machine learning-based methods have the potential to improve disease diagnosis, prediction of patient outcomes, and recommendations for treatment options. With further research, machine learning may help improve the lives of patients with multiple sclerosis.
Finally, machine learning may help improve Multiple Sclerosis symptoms by reducing the number of relapses and the severity of symptoms. Additionally, machine learning could also help to identify new targets for treatment and improve the accuracy of diagnosis.

12 Days of the Legend of Korra, day seven
Do you prefer LoK or ATLA?: I adore Korra, Tenzin, Lin and Tahno, the time period LoK is set in, the sky-high animation quality, and the gorgeous music of LoK. But ATLA will always be tops for me. ATLA had the universe, the music and the characters, too, after all. It was paced so well in terms of both plot and character development, which are my two biggest requirements for any sort of storytelling. And of course, my absolute favourites Aang and Zuko both belong to this series, and undergo immense growth as well. I feel almost as if it’s not fair to compare LoK and ATLA because ATLA got so many more episodes than LoK will get and we had so much time with the cast of ATLA. Plus, ATLA introduced us to the Avatar universe, and there’s always something special, even grand, about your first experience with worlds such as these.

Are tics a sign of OCD?
Tics may also be complex in nature, involving a sequence of behaviors such as touching, gesturing, and repetition of words or phrases.
Over a lifetime, 30% of people with OCD will experience a tic disorder as well, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5)..
How do you stop a tic?
These include:clonidine – a medicine that can help reduce tics and treat symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at the same time.clonazepam – a medicine that can help reduce the severity of tics in some people by altering the way certain chemicals in the brain work.More items…
What vitamins help with tics?
Magnesium and Vitamin B6: In a small 2008 study published in the journal Medicina Clinica, children with Tourette Syndrome experienced positive results while taking supplemental magnesium and vitamin B6.
Can computer games cause tics?
This enables the body’s flight or fight response, creating a hyperarousal state. When the child isn’t playing video games, the brain experiences sensory deprivation, which can lead to irritability. This can cause children to experience seizures, tics and migraines.
Does TV make tics worse?
Stress and fatigue can make tics worse. However, tics often also become worse when the body is relaxed, as when watching TV. Calling attention to a tic, particularly in children, may make the tic worse.
Is Tic a mental illness?
Transient tic disorder, now known as provisional tic disorder, is a condition involving physical and verbal tics. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 5th Edition (DSM-5) renamed this disorder in 2013. A tic is an abrupt, uncontrollable movement or sound that deviates from a person’s normal gestures.
When should I be worried about tics?
Frequent eye blinking, facial grimacing, shoulder shrugging, sniffling, repetitive throat clearing or uncontrolled vocalization – these are all symptoms of a tic. For a parent, seeing or hearing your child exhibit these unexpected movements or sounds can be extremely worrisome.
Is a tic disorder a disability?
Tourette syndrome is now evaluated under Social Security’s impairment listing 12.11, for neurodevelopmental disorders. The listing requirements are the same for adults and children. For disability applicants with Tourette’s, the listing states that an individual must experience recurrent motor movement or vocalization.
Can magnesium help with tics?
Research into magnesium effects on children with ADHD A 2008 Spanish study looked at children aged seven to 14 suffering from tics and Tourette’s. They found that given magnesium and vitamin B(6) supplements the total tic score among the children decreased from a rate of 26.7 to 12.9.
Can probiotics help with tics?
‘ Some studies have shown benefits from taking probiotics in treating Tourette’s syndrome, among other neurological conditions. And a University of Arizona study published last January claimed that FMT could treat behavioural symptoms in autism patients.
Can caffeine make tics worse?
Conclusions: Results from this first survey investigating the influence of special foods and drinks on tics demonstrated that 34% and 47% of responders, respectively, assessed that coffee and coke deteriorate tics.
What causes sudden onset of tics?
Certain toxins or drugs, brain trauma, alterations in neurotransmitter functioning and changes in certain regions of the brain, along with environmental factors, such as infections can also contribute to the sudden onset of tics.
What can make tics worse?
Tics can happen randomly and they may be associated with something such as stress, anxiety, tiredness, excitement or happiness. They tend to get worse if they’re talked about or focused on.
Why do tics stop?
No one knows exactly what causes tics to occur. Stress and sleep deprivation seem to play a role in both the occurrence and severity of motor tics. Doctors once believed that certain medications, including some used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, induced tics in children that were prone to them.
Do tics have triggers?
Common triggers include: Stressful events, such as a family fight or poor performance at school. Allergies, physical illness, or fatigue. Anger or excitement.
Can diet affect tics?
Many people are curious about the effect of diet on tics. While there is little published information on this subject, parents and clinicians have reported that dietary changes can help reduce tic symptoms. Some individuals even say that they manage their symptoms solely through diet.
What are facial tics a sign of?
Transient tic disorder This disorder is most common in children and is believed to be a mild form of Tourette syndrome. People with transient tic disorder tend to experience an overwhelming urge to make a certain movement or sound. Tics may include: blinking eyes.
Are tics neurological?
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disease in which patients make a series of repetitive, involuntary movements and sounds that are commonly referred to as ‘tics’.

Some time ago, before I moved, Michael White – Alzheimer’s society Operations Manager for West Yorkshire – asked me to speak at their annual volunteers day. The title Michael had given my 30 minute talk was “Getting involved and the ‘R’ word”…….
So last Thursday, the day started off early as I had to get to Hull to catch a train for Leeds. I noticed in the local paper yesterday that Beverley is going to get more train services in the new year and one direct to Leeds and London is promised, so hopefully that will come to fruition sooner rather than later. It was also a very rainy miserable morning. I moaned about the rain but the poor people in the Lake District must be distraught. My favourite place on earth under water – I just can’t imagine it – very sad.
At Leeds I was told to go to the taxi rank where Tania Taylor would be waiting to organise taxis. Tania is the Services Manager for Calderdale & Kirklees.
Sure enough Tania spotted me as I wasn’t sure which of the 2 taxi ranks to head for. There were 5 of us at the station and we managed to get a taxi together.
Once we got there I saw a few familiar faces but couldn’t for the life of me remember names…………hate that……..
It was held at the Shine in Harehills Leeds – somewhere I know well from my days at St James hospital. There were about 60 – a mixture of staff and volunteers. There were Christmas crackers on the table which did make me wish I’d found my ear plugs as the noise was very loud as everyone’s or into the Christmas spirit …….
Michael started off the day…
After the normal housekeeping stuff, Michael introduced it as the first annual event. West Yorkshire is a very big area with many things happening. Hands up who had been with the society for how long – shortest was 1 month and longest was 18.5 years.
So there was a good mix of experience and nice to see all the different areas represented too.
The aim of the afternoon was to discuss the future strategy but I’d already been involved in a session which had annoyed me and made me sad so I wasn’t worried about missing that. Leaving at lunch time also meant I wouldn’t miss the village bus.
Alison and Bindi spoke next – about their involvement with CRISP ( Care information Support I think ) It’s a programme for carers designed to help them support people with dementia (I”d be interested to see the content of the sessions)
They’d spoke of the valuable part volunteers play.. Someone volunteers in their office and helps get resources ready for CRISP sessions. They’d struggle to cope as efficiently as they do without volunteers.
Alison – Dementia support manager said:
‘Without our volunteers we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.’
Then Michael again – ‘A Year in dementia for West Yorkshire and looking ahead to the 2017-2022 Strategy.
He asked for 6 volunteers to hold placards at the front – each piece of paper had a stadium with their capacity see photo – He asked In comparison to the capacity of each of these stadiums, how many people with dementia are there in West Yorkshire? There are in fact over 25,000 people with dementia in West Yorkshire so she is more than Bradford Football club stadium at Valley parade which holds 25,000
There are 67,000 across Yorks and Humber – more than double the capacity of Bradford Football club stadium – A sobering thought.
One of the main aims of the society is to increase diagnosis rates, and West Yorkshire has a higher diagnosis rate than the national average.
However, Michael also said that a diagnosis doesn’t mean anything if services and support aren’t there.
Between Sept and Nov this year – 877 carers and 668 people with dementia have accessed Alzheimer services in West Yorks– doesn’t sound many but there are areas where Alzheimers society doesn’t have a contract.
Memory Walks in West Yorks alone raised £185K – every singe walk had an increase in numbers and money raised – yeh!
We then got into the 4 regions groups to decide on the best 3 achievements of late and which should be celebrated.
People’s enthusiasm and dedication should be bottled. Lots of smiley cheery faces – perfect. Many of these people give their time and energy free of charge– wonderful.
Many wonderful projects were quoted but one which stuck out was of a side by side story (side by side is a new society venture where people with dementia are supported on a 121 basis to do something they’ve always loved but now they simply need support to continue……) A person with dementia wanted to go swimming so through ‘side by side’ they found someone to support them but the supporter soon realised they weren’t very good at swimming so it ended up with the person with dementia supporting the supporter to supported become a better swimmer!! Brilliant! Just because we have dementia doesn’t mean we can’t still do things, we just often need to do them differently……
I was up next before lunch. I spoke about my story, the importance of research, Join Dementia Research, Alzheimers society research network, finishing off with the advantages of Alzheimers………..There were a few question afterwards but then even more over lunch, which was wonderful.
What became apparent is that within West Yorkshire, there are, like everywhere else, pockets of absolute brilliance. However, ‘pockets’ is sadly the recurring theme. We have to get consistency of opportunity to access services, because, what was obvious today is that if services are available, there’s a whole load of people with dementia waiting to access them.
The Memory support workers who I spoke to during their induction earlier in the year were at the event, Tracy Brierley, and other people I’ve met in the past, all came up and said hello. I spoke to some wonderful people over lunch, but sadly had to leave before the final afternoon session due to the infrequency of my village bus! I was so pleased to have been invited.
I didn’t take a photo of the Humber Bridge in the morning as it was so wet and miserable. It was still miserable on the way home but at least the rain had stopped……
always I know I’ve not far to go when I see the bridge…….and it also tells me I’ve got on the right train…….😊
Tomorrow I’ve been invited to Downing Street in the afternoon and to do a reading at the Annual Alzheimers Society Carol Concert in London so a busy day ahead…….

“It’s an annual 12km footrace in San Francisco but nobody is running.”
“‘What is Beta Breakers’, Alex.”
“Oh shoot! I’m sorry, but the correct answer will be ‘What is Bay to Breakers.”
Ok, maybe a lot of people are running (30,000+ or so), but we probably aren’t this year… and we haven’t for the last two either. We will also be waking up at 6am, but we’re drinking breakfast beers instead of energy goo and putting on our finest gorilla costumes rather than running shoes.
The answer to the question you’ll be asking all day? Yes, that adult man is jogging nude.
When we moved to San Francisco in 2013, we had no idea what Bay to Breakers was all about (as evidenced by the fact I thought it was called “Beta Breakers” for the months preceding). Under the leadership of more vetted friends, I ordered a tutu off of Amazon, and stocked up on PBR and bacon breakfast burritos for my first ever experience with the event. The following year, I spent the morning sewing dalmatian ears onto Daniel’s favorite hat and scavenging a bizarre Easter Bunny costume for his friend. Last year, we went full Tenenbaum and wandered into houses where we truly knew no one.
Let’s just say it’s not your average 12k. It’s more of a bizarre festival, really.
Whether you’re third-generation San Francisco, new to the city, or are just passing through for the weekend, you ought to stick around for one of the best things to do in San Francisco. There’s really no better way to see all the weirdness and wilds of San Francisco in a single day than here. So what is Bay to Breakers? Read on:
where in the world is Bay to Breakers?:
Bay to Breakers takes place in San Francisco, CA, USA. Appropriately named, the race runs from Downtown San Francisco (Bay) to the Outer Sunset (Breakers). If you’re not in the run, you’d be best to head to the Panhandle where residents open up their homes to massive parties and the parks swarm with day-drinkers.
when is Bay to Breakers?:
Bay to Breakers falls on the third Sunday in May. This year, it will be taking place on May 15th, 2016.
the people you’ll meet at Bay to Breakers:
Famed for public nudity and extravagant costumes, you’ll probably meet seven girls dressed as Shark Week, the entire Super Mario Kart crew, a group running the course in reverse dressed as salmon, or a pale-legged and pantless runner who’s body fat levels will put you to shame. You can’t really have Bay to Breakers without the San Franciscans who dress the part, and you’re out to meet a lot of them.
how racey are we talking?
This event is pretty spectacular, and gets 9 of 10 stars for inclusiveness and ridiculousness. I’ve never been to another event where you can have such a good time even with nowhere to go. Whether you complete the race, end up sitting on a curb, or manage to make your way into one of the hectic house parties, you’ll find a good time somewhere along the Bay to Breakers course.
what is Bay to Breakers like?
Founded as a way to boost morale after the devastating earthquakes that shook the city in 1906, Bay to Breakers has run since 1912, spanning the width of San Francisco from Embarcadero to the Ocean. To run the race, you’ll need to register in advance on the Bay to Breakers site. To be part of the rest, be sure to show up at the Panhandle by the time the race is up (10am at the latest!) and don’t forget a costume. Halloween has got nothing on this.
how do I get there?
Public transport reroutes on Bay to Breakers, so your best option is to walk or take a rideshare to where most of the action is taking place. Head to the Panhandle (on Fell or Hayes between Baker and Stanyan) for the house and park parties. If you’d prefer public transport, you can also take the BART to Embarcadero and follow along with the race course to cheer on runners. If you’re coming in from out of town, the nearest major airport is San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
a little something extra
- It goes without saying at this point, it’s Bay to Breakers not “Beta Breakers”. You’ve got it now!
- If you choose to race the event, entry fees are $64/adult ($59 if you’re registering with a group of 13 or more) and $32/child. The race starts around 7-8am, and you’ll see the streets along the course filling gradually throughout the day (prices in 2015).

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl says that the club are now feeling positive about Tino Livramento after the teenager took a big step forward in his recovery.
Livramento is currently out with a meniscus injury (knee), picked up over the festive period that the club fear could see him set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, Hasenhuttl explained how his son, Patrick, was himself out of action for 12 months with a similar injury but that he was hopeful Livramento's injury was not as serious.
The club were said to be considering whether or not to put the teenager through surgery with the preferred plan being that they would not.
But now Southampton's Austrian coach has provided an update on the 19-year-old's fitness ahead of Tuesday night's clash with Brentford.
Hasenhuttl has said: "We are looking at him from day to day. The first steps in training have now shown no reaction from the knee, this is good and gives us hope.
"He is not training with the team yet so we will look at it day to day."
When asked about the fitness of his other young players, Hasenhuttl continued: "Che Adams is available and we have no new [Covid] cases at the moment.
"[Mohammed] Salisu is also back from suspension. The weekend cost us energy but we will find a squad."

Reboxetine use while Breastfeeding
Reboxetine Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
Reboxetine is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but is available in other countries. Limited information indicates that maternal doses of up to 10 mg daily produce low levels in milk and appear to not result in any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Until more data are available, reboxetine should be used with careful monitoring during breastfeeding.
Maternal Levels. Four women with postpartum depression had been taking reboxetine in an average dose of 6.5 mg daily (range 4 to 10 mg daily) equivalent to 79 mcg/kg daily (range 44 to 172 mcg/kg daily) for an average of 2.5 months (range 1.3 to 4.1 months). The mothers collected fore- and hindmilk samples before the first daily dose and with each infant feeding throughout 24 hours (7 to 8 times). Average peak milk reboxetine levels of 16 mcg/L (range 10 to 21 mcg/L) occurred at an average of 4.3 hours (range 1 to 8.8 hours) after the dose. The mean of the average plasma concentrations was 11.3 mcg/L (range 6.7 to 16.3 mcg/L). The infant dosage averaged 1.7 mcg/kg daily (range 1 to 2.4 mcg/kg daily) which was 2% (range 1.4 to 2.5%) of the maternal weight-adjusted dosage.
Infant Levels. Four infants whose mothers had postpartum depression had been breastfed (extent not stated) for 1.3 to 2.1 months during maternal reboxetine therapy at an average dose of 6.5 mg (79 mcg/kg) daily. The infant dosage was calculated to be 1.7 mcg/kg daily (range 1 to 2.4 mcg/kg daily). Individual infant plasma levels obtained (times not stated) were 2.3, 2.6, 5 and undetectable (<4) mcg/L. The mean of the average maternal plasma concentrations was 192 mcg/L.
Effects in Breastfed Infants
Four infants whose mothers had postpartum depression had been breastfed (extent not stated) for 1.3 to 2.1 months during maternal reboxetine therapy at an average dose of 6.5 mg (79 mcg/kg) daily. One of the mothers was also taking escitalopram 20 mg daily and another was taking sertraline 300 mg daily. None of the infants exhibited any adverse reactions. Three of the infants had normal Denver developmental scores; the fourth whose mother was taking reboxetine had a developmental age of only 71% of normal, but the problem predated maternal reboxetine therapy.
Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
Reboxetine increased serum prolactin in male subjects. The relevance of this finding to nursing mothers is not clear. The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
An observational study looked at outcomes of 2859 women who took an antidepressant during the 2 years prior to pregnancy. Compared to women who did not take an antidepressant during pregnancy, mothers who took an antidepressant during all 3 trimesters of pregnancy were 30% less likely to be breastfeeding upon hospital discharge. Mothers who took an antidepressant only during the third trimester were 75% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge. Those who took an antidepressant only during the first and second trimesters did not have a reduced likelihood of breastfeeding at discharge. The antidepressants used by the mothers were not specified.

Alcohol abuse is a drinking pattern that final results in significant and recurrent adverse consequences.

Myth: The fact that alcoholics generally continue to be depressed, anxious, irritable, and unhappy soon after they cease drinking is evidence that their disease is caused by psychological issues.

Personal pension holders in for a shock when estimates of retirement fund values are slashed from 2014
No false impression: The FSA has reduced its pension projection rates to make predicted returns more realistic.
Projection rates for personal pensions will be reduced by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to give savers a more realistic view of their retirement fund.
Currently, providers of tax-advantaged products like personal pensions give people taking out a product an indication of possible future returns based on their pension fund growing by five, seven and nine per cent, while taking into account the impact of charges.
But the FSA has said these projections will change to two, five and eight per cent as of 6 April, 2014, to avoid consumers ‘being given a false impression’ of the investment returns they might receive.
It will mean a shock for personal pension holders opening their annual statements in 2014, as thousands of pounds of notional returns will be wiped off.
This means that someone in their 20s who earns £30,000 and saves £2,000 a year into a workplace pension can expect to have a retirement pot when they reach 68 of £540,000.
But under the new five per cent growth rate that firms will have to use, this figure will be just £335,000.
The change means that the person’s predicted pension income will fall from £10,400 a year to £6,430 a year - a drop of 38 per cent.
As well as pensions, the new rules will also cover the expected growth of financial products including ISAs and endowments.
The FSA has given firms a year to implement the new projection rates.
It has also published new rules requiring Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) operators to provide Key Features Illustrations to consumers to show how charges on their savings will impact upon their future return.
Joanne Segars, chief executive of the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), said pension holders should give their savings a 'regular MOT' to manage the uncertainty over their eventual returns.
She said: 'People often struggle to plan their retirement and these new rates should offer a more helpful and realistic guide.
'We are in a low growth environment and have been for some time.
'It is pointless letting people hope for high returns that might never materialise.
'This is a reality check.
'The UK is not saving enough for its old age, so it is important to help people see how much they need to salt away.
'A reformed simpler, flat-rate state pension will also enable people to make stronger retirement plans.'

Bungling Hartlepool burglars live streamed police chase on Snapchat
Bungling burglars live streamed their police pursuit over social media channel Snapchat before they were caught and arrested by officers.
Leon Robinson laughed and egged on accomplice Mark Gary Carroll as they were pursued by officers after trying to steal vital equipment from a farm in May.
The Hartlepool pair started the pursuit after being disturbed trying to take a Polaris ATV vehicle from a farm building in Barnard Castle.
A resourceful neighbour quickly circulated their van’s details on the rural community’s Rural Watch Whatsapp group and reported them to the police.
Officers then pursued the vehicle and, despite being rammed, were able to intercept the van.
The farmer’s vehicle was also recovered.
At Durham Crown Court both Carroll, 33, of Kesteven Road, and Robinson, 32, of South Road, were sentenced to 20 months in prison and ordered to pay £156 compensation to the farmer.
Carroll, who was driving the getaway van, was also banned from driving for 22 months.
Both pleaded guilty to burglary and failing to surrender to custody.
Carroll also admitted driving while disqualified, dangerous driving and driving without insurance.
Detective Sergeant Sarah Hindmarsh, of Durham Constabulary CID, hoped “this result deters others who think they can come into our rural areas to commit criminal offences”.
She added: “The job was a great example of community, Rural Watch and police working together to catch the individuals who travelled into our area to steal farm machinery.
“It was good to see the stolen goods recovered for the farmer who was in the middle of a very busy lambing time.
“We will not stand for this type of behaviour in our communities.”

In 2001, with three top-selling albums under his belt, Mr. Simmons paid $750,000 in cash to buy a vacant 18-foot-wide brownstone on Fifth Avenue at 124th Street, opposite Mount Morris Park, the center of the Harlem brownstone revival, according to property records. Mr. Simmons grew up as a troubled child and teenager in Yonkers, he says in his autobiography, but spent a lot of time hanging out in Central Harlem.
But his brownstone remains dark and empty, a silent and humbling witness to what can go wrong in the real estate business, even if you are a tattooed tough guy, up from the streets. Mr. Simmons exhorts his fans to “never give up, never give in, never stop believing in your dreams,” but when it comes to the house, he is putting it on the market.
Soon after closing on the three-story building, Mr. Simmons discovered that it was technically a rooming house, protected by city rules, and could not be rented out as individual apartments. He paid $300,000 to a contractor — no longer in business — who promised to obtain a new certificate of occupancy, but the work was never completed.
City records show that in 2002, a building inspector issued a stop-work order because of construction jobs done without a permit, and Mr. Simmons was fined $2,500 when he did not show up for a hearing. Then, he was sued by an electrician who fell off a ladder while working on a light over the front door. The electrician won a $210,000 judgment against Mr. Simmons in State Supreme Court in Manhattan when Mr. Simmons did not show up for a hearing in 2003.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Simmons went back to court to try to overturn the judgment and have the case retried. He acknowledged that his wife, Tashera Simmons, had received an envelope containing “some legal papers,” but he had been on tour and never looked at them. The judge rejected his claim, and the suit was eventually settled.
The house remained vacant all this time, with the heat turned off. During a cold spell in 2003, a pipe burst, sending a cascade of water throughout the house and causing considerable damage.
But that was nothing compared with the financial damage from the liens that began showing up in public records.
The Workers Compensation Board of New York put a $30,000 lien against Mr. Simmons’s properties, and last year, the Internal Revenue Service put a $370,459 lien on them for unpaid taxes, followed by a $44,357 judgment by the New York State Tax Department in March.
In March, he transferred title in the house to his wife through a limited liability corporation, a move that could shield it from additional liens. He hired a new team to file new plans to legalize the conversion from a rooming house with six rented rooms and a basement apartment to four apartments, and he put the building up for sale for $1.9 million through Fillmore Real Estate, a large Brooklyn brokerage.
A few years after buying the house, Mr. Simmons took out a $400,000 mortgage on it to help cover his costs. But toward the end of September, the Bank of New York filed a foreclosure suit, the first step in eviction proceedings, when Mr. Simmons fell behind in his payments.
Trisha Lum, Mr. Simmons’s manager, said last week that he was on tour in Germany. She said that Mr. Simmons’s mortgage payments were now up to date, and she ascribed late payments to a change in staff members. She said that Mr. Simmons was working with the I.R.S. to resolve the lien over his back taxes.
“This place has been basically vacant all this time,” she said, “and we are getting a new certificate of occupancy.”
Lincoln Minott, the agent handling the sale, said that there was an offer of $1.6 million on the house but that it was contingent on obtaining the new certificate of occupancy. Once that happens, he said, he expects it to sell quickly.
And even if it does, Ms. Lum said that Mr. Simmons, who lives in Mount Kisco, N.Y., would maintain close ties to Harlem and New York City. She said he provides Thanksgiving dinner at a Harlem homeless shelter and because of his own troubled childhood, he was working with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg to support children in foster care.
Urban Spa Hits a Snag or Two
WHEN Miraval, a destination spa in Tucson, decided to join with some New York real estate developers to create its first urban spa, a condominium in what had been a rental building on East 72nd Street, it promised to bring the benefits of a serene “life in balance” to one of the most frenetic places on earth.
But before the new development, to be known as Miraval Living, opens at the former River Terrace, a 41-story apartment tower at 515 East 72nd Street, it will have to run a gantlet of New York challenges, from zoning changes to dealing with the more than 100 tenants still living there.
As part of a Zen-like lifestyle, Miraval plans to offer a Miraval Garden Cafe, with “global flavors, natural methods,” in the development’s huge private garden. The problem is that a covenant filed by the original developers states that the owners will not allow any part of the building “to be used in the sale or distribution of food or beverages other than by vending machines.”
Rachaele Raynoff, a spokeswoman for the City Planning Commission, said these concessions had been worked out with the developer, Harry B. Macklowe, over the shape and size of the project. “Apparently, there were some zoning issues to be balanced,” she said.
John Vanderslice, who was appointed chief executive of Miraval in June, said the development was filing an application to change the zoning provisions and amend the covenant to permit the garden cafe. In addition, the developers are proposing to convert the party room and meeting rooms on the top floor to penthouses, he said.
Zoning experts say that changes like these are usually treated as routine matters, especially if there is no public opposition or concern. But at River Terrace, many of the remaining tenants are angry about facing eviction and about messy construction work now under way. That might soon change, however. Alan Turek, a lawyer representing tenants in discussions with the developers, said he hoped to have “good news” to announce at a tenant meeting on Thursday.
Steve Case, the former chairman of AOL Time Warner, is the majority owner of Miraval. The New York spa will offer buyers the same range of programs offered in Tucson in a 20,000-square-foot Spa and Wellness Center. It will also include a 25-foot-high Quantum Leap pole in the garden for jumping and confidence-building.
At Miraval Living, buyers will be required to pay membership fees to the spa as part of their condominium charges, ranging from about $3,800 a year for a typical one-bedroom to more than $7,300 a year for some three-bedroom units, according to the offering plan.
Anna Moffo’s Apartment: $4.45 Million
ANNA MOFFO, the much beloved American soprano, known for both her rosy voice and exceptional beauty, lived a grand life. Then came the rituals of death: the Sotheby’s auction and now the sale of her luxurious duplex penthouse atop 400 East 59th Street.
Ms. Moffo, who died last March at the age of 73, was married to Robert Sarnoff, the chairman of the RCA Corporation. In the mid-’80s, they created their sprawling penthouse out of two smaller co-op apartments, ending up with 10 rooms and 200 linear feet of wraparound terraces. It has a 16-foot-high glass-enclosed solarium and 3,200 square feet of interior space.
The apartment, possibly one of the largest one-bedrooms in Manhattan, has a single master suite and a huge public space, with a living room, dining room and library facing the East River. It is in a prewar building, albeit one with mostly lower-priced one-bedrooms, far from the Fifth Avenue Gold Coast. Instead, it is on the corner of 59th and First Avenue, facing the approaches to the Queensboro Bridge.
Ms. Moffo trained in Italy, where she performed and was host of a televised variety show. She made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1959 and went on to appear at the Met more than 200 times through most of the 1960s.
Though some of the couple’s artwork has been taken down for the Sotheby’s auction, an upstairs room that Ms. Moffo used for rehearsing and teaching is still intact.
There, boxes of sheet music and librettos labeled “Beethoven” and “Mozart” are mixed with boxes of recipes labeled “lasagna” and “tortellini,” according to Cathy Taub, the Stribling broker who is selling the apartment. The room has 8 large windows and a 14-foot ceiling.
Ms. Taub said the apartment first went on the market in August at $5.45 million, without any mention of Ms. Moffo. It didn’t sell.
The price was lowered to $4.45 million, and Ms. Moffo’s family decided to allow her name and the apartment’s history to become known.
“A lot of times when you show an estate property, it has a morbid feeling,” Ms. Taub said. “Here, you can get a sense of her spirit and joie de vivre. You have the happy feeling there of someone who lived a very full and abundant life.”Continue reading the main story

|Occupation||Episcopal priest, academic administrator|
|Spouse(s)||Frances Glen Potter|
|Children||2 sons (including Telfair Hodgson Jr.), 1 daughter|
|Relatives||Benjamin F. Cheatham (daughter-in-law's father)|
|Allegiance||Confederate States of America (1861–1865)|
||Confederate States Army|
|Years of service||1861–1865|
Telfair Hodgson (March 14, 1840 – September 11, 1893) was an American Episcopal priest and academic administrator. He was the dean of the Theological Department at Sewanee: The University of the South from 1878 to 1893, and vice chancellor from 1879 to 1890. He was a co-founder and the managing editor of The Sewanee Review.
Telfair Hodgson was born on March 14, 1840 in Columbia, Virginia. He attended Princeton University, where he joined the Kappa Alpha Society and graduated in 1859. He entered the General Theological Seminary in New York City.
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Hodgson left seminary and enlisted as a private in the 44th Virginia Infantry of the Confederate States Army. He transferred to serve in the 1st Regiment Alabama Infantry, which was led by his brother, Colonel Joseph Hodgson. He was eventually promoted to the staff of General Joseph Wheeler. In 1863 he was ordained as an Episcopal deacon and then as a priest in 1864 in Macon, Georgia, where he served as a chaplain in a hospital. A few years after the war, Hodgson went to Europe, where he lived in 1869–1870.
Hogdson worked as a professor of Philosophy at the University of Alabama from 1872 to 1873. He was the assistant rector of Christ's Church in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1874, and the rector of Trinity Church in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1874–1878. Some of his sermons were about the Confederate fallen. In 1876 he gave Sewanee: The University of the South $10,000 to build a library; it was the first building in Sewanee to be constructed of stone.
Theological education had been a growing concern at Sewanee since it began admitting students in 1868, and shortly thereafter it merged with the Sewanee Training and Divinity School. It had no dean of theology until Hodgson was hired as dean in 1878. He served as dean until 1893, and also served as vice chancellor from 1879 to 1890. He supported the construction of Thompson Union and Convocation Hall.
When William Peterfield Trent founded The Sewanee Review in 1892, Hodgson became its financial backer and managing editor. He took care of the financial affairs of the journal so that Trent could concentrate on its literary content.
Personal life, death and legacy
Hodgson married Frances Glen Potter, the daughter of a slave-owning planter from Savannah, Georgia. They had two sons, Telfair Hodgson Jr. and J. H. P. Hodgson, and a daughter.
Hodgson died on September 11, 1893, in Sewanee, Tennessee. His son Telfair Hodgson Jr. was the treasurer of the University of the South from 1908 to 1949.
The Sewanee Review is the oldest continuously published literary quarterly in the United States.

I had been seeing this special and different type of door hardware and until I visited a friends loft apartment was I able to ask what the name of the door is. It was just too beautiful to behold. He told me its name is standard flat track sliding door hardware. Upon further research I found out the installation involves the installation of a track sliding along a surface. A sliding door attachment is added to create an operable door that looks great and is 100% functional. Flat track systems date back to the turn of the century when it was most commonly used is warehouses and industrial settings. Today flat track sliding doors are often used for closing off rooms such as libraries, laundry rooms or offices, keeping unwanted items out of view or sectioning off areas to create dimensions. Sliding door hardware is often used in barn doors, galleries, loft apartments, restaurants and several other different places.
Flat track sliding doors are not stylish enough to be used anywhere within a large building and even in your home. All the hardware we offer at interiorslidingbarndoorsforsale.com is durable and perfect for either interior or outdoor settings. No matter where you’re at, we pride ourselves on being able to serve you and anyone else around the world who require band door hardware or hardware assistance.

Mediaset may move to consolidate its Spanish operation as the first step of a strategy to create a pan-European TV powerhouse, according to Italian financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore.
According to the newspaper, the Italian broadcaster is mulling a plan to acquire the 48.4% of Mediaset España that it does not already own as the first step towards creating a consolidated pan-European broadcaster.
Shares in Mediaset España, which controls leading commercial channels Telecinco and Cuatro, rose on the news.
The latest report of plans to consolidate the Spanish outfit follow a similar report by Bloomberg last September that also saw Mediaset España’s share price rise, but which was denied by Mediaset.
According to Il Sole 24 Ore, the acquisition of Mediaset España could be followed by moves to establish a pan-European powerhouse, possibly with German commercial broadcaster ProSiebenSat.1 and France’s TF1.
Mediaset already has a relationship with those two broadcasters in the shape of the European Media Alliance, created four years ago to foster closer collaboration between European broadcasters in the face of enhanced threats from digital players such as Netflix and Amazon.
The latest report of Mediaset’s interest in its Spanish operation came as Morgan Stanley published a note revising its price target for the broadcaster downwards in the light of a need for additional investment to combat the threat presented by digital players and an ongoing softening of the European advertising market. According to Morgan Stanley, the broadcasters most immediately impacted by the combination of a need to make substantial investment and the advertising downturn are Mediaset and its putative German partner ProSiebenSat.1.
Mediaset VP and CEO Pier Silvio Berlusconi last year said that the broadcaster was working on a plan to forge an alliance with other European broadcasters, with it taking a leading role. Berlusconi specifically ruled out working with French media giant and Canal+ owner Vivendi. The latter had been Mediaset’s preferred partner for a pan-European strategy until the pair spectacularly fell out over Vivendi’s withdrawal from an agreement to purchase Mediaset Premium in 2016.

Gold Lake "Arles" on Exclaim! TV
Published Oct 30, 2014Meeting in a Madrilenian nightclub and bonding over a love of West Coast canyon country, Gold Lake promptly formed and relocated to New York. Having signed to Canadian imprint Outside Music, the trio has readied their debut record for release early next month. Three years in the making, the disc reportedly concerns itself with the tragedies and joys of life.
We invited vocalist Lua Rios and guitarist Carlos Del Amo to the Exclaim! office where they performed their track "Arles," the leading single from their upcoming effort, Years.
Playing along to a rhythm section backing track, guitarist Del Amo delicately tremolo picks an intro for vocalist Rio to sing over. With her voice smoothly gliding over the instrumentation, Del Amo moves to the lower register of his six-string for a steady, spacious riff. He even takes a step out to handle some lead work in the song's back half, leading Amo's vocals gently to the finish.
Watch the duo's performance in the player below.

For homebuilders, minimizing risk on a construction job is essential, and long-term. Technology can help with risk management, quality assurance, project-document storage and archiving, customer-service management, insurance-certificate management, and post-warranty claims support.
This is essential in the state of California, especially as the industry awaits further clarification as to the effects of the December 18 California Supreme Court motion denial regarding Brookfield’s appeal of the Fourth Circuit ruling in Liberty v. Brookfield Homes. AxisPointe, www.axispointe.com, West Orange, N.J., CEO Stan Luhr says the new appellate decision will enable new causes of action for damages and allow plaintiffs to circumvent the 10-year old established right-to-repair provisions. These provisions included limitations to four years for plumbing, electrical, and other components.
According to the National Assn. of Subrogation Professionals, www.subrogation.org, Pittsburgh, Pa., Website, “This is a huge blow to the homebuilders industry, which fought fiercely to persuade the act applied to subrogating carriers.”
The results, in terms of construction defect claims? AxisPointe’s CEO Stan Luhr, who has practiced forensic consulting in California for 30 years, says there will be definite change, especially in terms of delays. “I spoke with a few attorneys who received notices from plaintiff’s counsel that they will be filing amended complaints immediately,” says Luhr. “We don’t know how this will affect current cases but it will definitely add to the delays in getting consumer complaints resolved quickly.”
As a result, Luhr suggests that California builders step up their customer service and post-warranty claims processes—with a detailed quick response process for any claim involving water intrusion or actual damage to a home. Construction technology can play a big role in helping homebuilders manage claims. AxisPointe, for example, provides builders with several risk prevention tools that are particularly suited for California builders, who are required by state law to provide buyers with written maintenance manuals and information on energy components.
Also, earlier this month, AxisPointe released InSite DataQuery software, which allows builders to analyze construction activities and monitor quality, safety, and business processes from any device.
Luhr says the new scenario may include these new factors:
- Homeowner claims for property damage made long after the four-year legislative statute has expired on issues such as plumbing and electrical systems, effectively opening the door for up to 10 years on such damage claims.
- Plaintiffs ability to circumvent the SB 800 Right to Repair process altogether, on basis that property damage claims do not fall within the confines of the alternative resolution process.
- New look at definition of “damage.”
- Increase of subrogation claims against homebuilders by homeowner’s insurance companies that traditionally foot the bill for water leakage and damage claims.

This tractor and gardener were one of my favorite "finds" this summer. I loved the setting of the 12-acre Powell Gardens in Kingsville, Missouri and all the many edible gardens (it is the nation's largest edible landscape). But on top of all that, I discovered that the tractor, kneeling gardner and 12 other scenes like it were not "real" but actually built with LEGO bricks by sculpture artist, Sean Kenney.
I liked the signage throughout the gardens too, such as the one near the kneeling gardener that points out "that gardners have a longer life expectancy than average. That's because gardening is one of the best physical activities around, especially for mature adults."
It seemed only fitting that Sal del Mar's Very Veggie Sea Salt should be next to gardner planting seeds for the Summer and Fall harvest.
For more information on the Powell Gardens, go to www.powellgardens.org. Look for the Harvest Celebration & Antique Tractor Show on October 2-4.

The Biden administration is starting to give Americans some threats; they’re stating if Americans do not want to receive the COVID vaccine, they should be ready to lose their jobs.
This triggered Republicans to voice their concerns on how the mandate could possibly lead to a chronic shortage of labor in the country and a violation of civil liberties.
Christie: The president is forcing and threatening people
Former Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie criticized the president and his administration for requiring people to get vaccinated. Although the former governor is pro-vaccine, he believes people should not be forced into getting the shot.
Instead of forcing and threatening people to get the COVID vaccine, they should be persuaded to get it via educational means. Christie noted if the Biden administration could educate people about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, Americans would more likely rush to get vaccinated.
However, Biden and his officials already politicized the vaccination process. The former governor then called out Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing how she politicized COVID vaccines during the campaign period.
It should be noted before taking office, Harris proclaimed her resistance to have the vaccine under the order of former President Trump.
Yesterday, I went on @FoxNews Primetime to talk to @Kilmeade about Terry McAuliffe’s Far Left agenda, lies from Pelosi and the Dems to get their reckless bill passed, and the shaky legality of Biden’s vaccine mandate. #ICYMI, watch here: https://t.co/Pyn4uhuBin
— Governor Christie (@GovChristie) September 30, 2021
Christie also highlighted how mandating the COVID vaccine could escalate the labor shortage which the country is currently experiencing. He noted at present, the U.S. is facing a labor shortage in different departments, ranging from the teaching sector to healthcare.
The former governor also commented on how the administration increased another cause of labor shortages: the huge unemployment benefits given by the Biden administration. According to Christie, this also discourages individuals from going to work. Thus, the COVID vaccine mandate will only make the situation worse.
The U.S. economy could fall harder once the president imposes the COVID vaccine mandate
According to the new rules pushed by the Biden administration, it is mandatory for companies and other employers with over 100 workers to have them get vaccinated or tested weekly for COVID-19.
Based on these rules, there are around four million employees on the verge of losing their jobs if they failed to get vaccinated. The vaccine mandate is also expected to hit the healthcare sector in different states if unvaccinated workers get fired.
I think the President made a mistake by announcing federal vaccine mandates. We should be focused on the science of preventing virus spread – the vaccine is our best tool to stop COVID – but people and business owners should make their own decisions about vaccination.
— Governor Mike DeWine (@GovMikeDeWine) September 10, 2021
The labor shortage is already affecting the U.S. economy. Despite 8.4 million job openings in the country, employers are having a hard time hiring workers. With the vaccine mandate, Christie indicates it will make the economy fall harder.
He likewise questioned the legality of forcing and imposing COVID vaccines on individuals. Christie noted the COVID vaccine mandate is standing on shaky ground.
Other than Christie, there are additional Republicans who scolded Biden for forcing people to get the COVID vaccine. GOP lawmakers and other leaders are now accusing the president of violating the civil liberties of individuals, particularly their right to medical freedom.
