Adafruit modder builds Captain Jack's Vortex Manipulator / Leela's wrist-lo-jacko-mator for real

Image

This impressive wrist / forearm cuff is the brainchild of Adafruit forum member and modder Stephanie, who has built a sensor platform into the fashion accessory. The device can monitor the exposure value, track your movements over GPS, measure your galvanic skin response, tell you the temperature, humidity and even doubles as a watch and flash-light. It was built around Sparkfun's Pro Micro development board and a boatload of sensors purchased from Adafruit. We might just build one ourselves with a radiation detector, so that we can live out our Pip-Boy fantasies down at the mall.

Indoor Team building events Activities for Adults | BusinessesA-Z ...


On many occasions team building outside is a great idea; the open space along with the fresh air is ideal for building self-confidence and self-esteem, though other times functioning inside could possibly be the best bet. If you have a group who not excel outdoors, or maybe if you have no outdoor space, indoor team development can be in the same way fun. Having a team doesn't only imply that everyone "must" get along; it means which others should better see the people they work with, along with the whole team should work for a common aim.

Indoor team development activities for adults aren't just a great way to keep your staff are communicating appropriately, but it is also the best way to boost productivity within the work place. Studies have shown that team development increases the output of a place of work quite significantly. If you are looking for a few great interior team building routines, you can find a few listed below.

Team building activates for that indoors:

Chat: This game begins with the innovator. The leader can whisper inside someone ear and that will travel all over the group. Sitting in the circle, the whisper should go on all the way up back to the best choice. Once the news meets the best choice once more, the best choice will tell the group what they really said. This is a great way to present the group that simply because you listen to something, doesn't make it correct.

IMPORTANT ITEM: Every person within the group should bring a gift to the group. Each person will set the item along, and the group will suppose whose product is as their. In the end the master can declare it and tell the group why it really is special.

Jim ON THE BACK: The group should cut out palm for everyone within the group. And set a positive word about every single group fellow member on the palm. The good word along with the hand will probably be placed on the rear of the group fellow member, so they can avoid seeing it. This will aid the group relationship and become nearer.

LIFELINES: Each person will be given a gun, and will be inspired to draw their own time line. This can all be using one sheet involving long paper, where all the life collections will be related. This demonstrates all the groups lines get crossed from one point.

Window blind POLYGON: The whole group will be impaired folded and asked to keep a piece of string. The leader can direct every person, and try to develop a square. Since group cannot see this will probably be hard to do, additionally it is important that the group work as one, to create the square. When this is done the group can go on to produce other styles and designs.

PERSONAL COAT Associated with ARMS: Provide each person the marker and paper, permit them to create a coat of arms. This will present different aspects involving life in most corner. Inquire each team member to share what is of their coat involving arms when it is done. This is a great way to present the group whatever you hold beloved.

Samsung's Music Hub launches in UK, France and Germany, offers 100GB storage, unlimited streaming

Samsung's Music Hub launches in UK, France and Germany, offers 100GB cloud and unlimited streaming of 19 million tracks for a price

We already knew Samsung was dipping a toe in the music market, and now it's officially landed. Music Hub will launch with the GSIII in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. It's fair to say the electronics giant will be trampling on a fair number of toes, with Music Hub offering both streaming -- from 7 Digital's catalog of 19 million -- as well as recommendations, and a 100GB iTunes Match-esque cloud service. You'll need to trump up £ / €9.99 (about $16) if you want the premium features (unlimited streaming from the catalog and the online storage of your library,) while the free option will let you listen to matched / purchased tracks anywhere (from your phone or the web interface). Samsung's clearly taking a holistic approach with Music Hub, and it'll be a standard feature on its phones going forward (plus potentially Smart TVs and even Fridges). It might not just be restricted to its own hardware eco-system either, with some talk of it coming to other mobile devices in the future, officially, this time.

Egyptian voters will choose from polar opposites in presidential runoff

Egyptian officials announced today that Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, and Ahmed Shafiq, Mubarak's last prime minister, will face each other in a June runoff.

By Kristen Chick,?Correspondent / May 28, 2012

Ahmed Shafiq, left, and Mohamed Morsi, right, will face each other in a June run-off election in Egypt. Shafiq is a former prime minister under ousted Egyptian strongman Mubarak, while Morsi is a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood.

A Muslim Brotherhood leader will compete with the last prime minister of ousted President Hosni Mubarak to be the next president of Egypt, election officials confirmed today.

The official announcement, which cannot be appealed, finalizes what many had suspected since votes were tallied Friday in Egypt?s first presidential election after a popular uprising pushed Mr. Mubarak from power. Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood?s candidate, and Ahmed Shafiq, a member of Mubarak?s former regime, will advance to a runoff in mid-June. Out of a field of 13 candidates, Dr. Morsi?received?nearly 25 percent of the vote, while Mr. Shafiq garnered 24 percent.

The election commission overseeing the vote said that about 46 percent of more than 50 million registered voters participated in the election. The commission also denied the appeals filed by several runner-up candidates, who alleged that fraud and violations had affected the results.

But the legal drama is not yet over: Egypt?s high constitutional court has yet to rule on a law passed by parliament that bans members of Mubarak?s regime from politics. Shafiq was disqualified under the new law, but the election commission reinstated his candidacy. Adding to the complications, the constitutional court is not expected to give the final word on the issue until just before the second round of voting.

Some Egyptians are upset that the two most polarizing candidates advanced to the next round with only a quarter of the vote each, while about half of those who voted cast ballots for neither one. Morsi and Shafiq have already begun maneuvering to woo those who voted for other candidates, particularly the non-Islamist ?revolutionaries,? many of whom reject both candidates.

Shafiq, who was prime minister as Mubarak tried to quell the uprising, and who has expressed his admiration of his former boss and his disdain for the revolution, changed his tune in a press conference Saturday. He addressed the young activists who sparked the revolution, saying, ?your revolution was stolen,? and pledging to return it to them.

Morsi, meanwhile, has called for meetings with the third- and fourth-place candidates, both of whom are seen as pro-revolution figures, in an apparent attempt to gain their support in the next round. Members of the Brotherhood?s Freedom and Justice Party have called on political forces to rally around Morsi to defeat the old regime.

Negotiations with other parties or coalitions will be difficult, however, given the promises the Brotherhood has broken over the past year, says Mustapha Kamel Al Sayyid, a political science professor at the American University in Cairo.

?They say something, but they do the opposite, and this does not encourage confidence in their promise,? says Dr. Sayyid. Over the past year, the Brotherhood went back on its pledge to contest only?30 percent of parliamentary seats, broke a promise not to run a presidential candidate, and sought to dominate the committee formed to write a new constitution, after pledging to make it an inclusive process.

Benefits of Buying Elite Speed Reading

Lots of people are deeply dissatisfied with the fact that you have to give up an email address even to learn about the product. At least you are not able to at this stage in time. The seller feels this will get customers to sign up for a newsletter in hopes of getting repeat interest after a while. However , many prospective buyers are turned off by this entirely.

A lot of people are convinced not to buy due to this. In these instances, everybody loses. Prospective buyers miss out on the rewards this product can and does provide. The maker misses out on many likely sales.

Don?t miss out on this by sitting on the fence though. An email address is a small sacrifice when you think about how much you can certainly acquire from this product. You should not just take our word for it. You can test Elite Speed Reading with no risk and discover how it helps you.

Black workers file charges over noose in locker room

By Martha C. White

Three African-American workers at a Siemens Energy facility in New Jersey have filed charges of discrimination with the?Equal Employment Opportunity Commission?and the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights after they said years of racial harassment recently culminated in their finding a noose hanging in front of their lockers.?

"The complainants ... are pursuing these charges and will be filing a federal lawsuit in the hopes of bringing to light and changing the current climate of open racial discrimination at this facility," Brian K. Wiley, the lawyer representing the employees, said via email.?

In January, four-year Siemens employee David Solomon said he entered the workers' changing area and found a noose hanging "right next to my locker." He photographed the noose and alerted his co-workers, Eddie Clarke and Barry Murphy. In an April 4 affidavit, all three testified that they had seen the noose and detailed numerous other instances of racial discrimination.

"I felt (as)?though a clear?message was being sent to the black employees at Siemens to shut up, do what your [sic] told and stop complaining about being treated unfairly or we would be lynched," Solomon wrote. "Every person in power at my job is white. There are no black supervisors, and no African?-Americans to report this too [sic]."?

Clarke wrote in his statement that he had been physically threatened by his supervisor after voicing complaints about a discriminatory work environment in which African-Americans were denied the opportunity for advancement. "My supervisor had previously?warned me a few years back that if I complained of racial bias in the workplace any further I would get caught in 'friendly fire,' " he wrote. "The?supervisor approached me shortly after and expressed surprise that I was 'still alive.?"

Siemens responded with a statement calling hanging a noose in the workplace a "deplorable, aggressive act" and said the company "promptly notified law enforcement." Company spokeswoman Camille Johnston said via email, "We have been in contact with federal, state and local authorities," without providing details of which agencies.?

In its statement, Siemens said it initiated an internal investigation, which it concluded after?the company's "corporate security team that included members with 30+ years of experience with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ...?could not find any evidence of how the noose got there."

Wiley countered the assertion that Siemens proactively contacted police.

"To be clear, it was the complainants who contacted law enforcement to report what has happened to them," he said. "While we do not have the ability to know whether Siemens contacted law enforcement as they claim, we can say with certainty that none of the three victims was contacted by any law enforcement agency."?

Between 2006 and 2010, the EEOC ordered eight companies to pay a total of nearly $5.2 million stemming from cases of racial discrimination or harassment that involved nooses. The agency's site says it is illegal for race or skin color to impact "hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment."?It also says the display "racially offensive symbols" constitutes illegal racial harrassment.?

"The company is responding to the EEOC charges as appropriate," Johnston said.?An EEOC spokesman declined to comment.

Wiley said no specific amount of damages had been determined for the federal lawsuit he plans to file on behalf of the three men. "There's no real way to quantify" the impact that years ? decades in the case of Murphy, a Siemens employee since 1966 ? worth of denied advancement opportunities and hostile working conditions had on his clients. "[Siemens] conceivably could be responsible for a large amount," he said.

Becoming a Beacon | Baby care | Health and Fitness | Beauty ...

?But I number you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has even now committed adultery with her in his seat of life.?

Christ (Matthew 5: 28)

One of the great points of stress in Christ?s teachings is that if we wish to live a really happy life (and, in the process, create a positive impact on the world round us), we need to go beyond mere outward actions.

Yes, they are hugely weighty; but important too are our thoughts and feelings.

If our outward actions are ?good? but the accompanying thoughts and feelings are ?bad?, at that time negative results will unavoidably follow.

To return to ? and expand ? The anointed?s quote above, we read the following (recent translation by Eugene H. Peterson):

?You perceive the next commandment pretty well, too: ?Don?t go to bed through another?s spouse.? But don?t cogitate you?ve preserved your virtue plainly by staying out of bed. Your heart can be corrupted by cupidity even quicker than your material substance. Those leering looks you cogitate nobody notices ? they likewise corrupt.?

This highlights the question with simply ?doing your what one ought to do?, with simply doing ?the straight thing?, with plainly performing the ?correct rituals?.

Except they are also done through the proper spirit, then they can easily do greater degree of harm than good.

The intellect for this is simple: thoughts and feelings likewise carry energetic vibrations. So if our chaps says one thing and our thoughts and feelings some other, then we can be blasting someone through negative energy even as we commendation them.

Similarly, if we help someone out of responsibility but resent doing so, we are showering them ? and the universe ? with negativity even as we do this evidently noble deed.

This question becomes apparent when we create ?fake? apologies.

You know those seasons when we?re pissed off with someone but perceive that, in the circumstances, we?d better try to even things over even al~ we are still furious.

So we approach the individual we?re mad with, we apologize through clenched teeth and, lo and behold, discover that the best result we at any time get is a frosty reconciliation.

But we?ve also practised the opposite: times when we are genuinely grieved, apologize and find that, in numerous cases, even when it would be spotless enough for the person we are apologizing to to silence hold a grudge, we are forgiven.

This individual feels the regret beneath our language and is moved by this energy.

On the farther side of External Actions

Of course, at times ? as Christ?s quote suggests ? the question doesn?t so much arise from the discord between thoughts, feelings and actions, but plainly the thoughts and feelings alone. In other language:

You don?t have sex with your confidant?s wife.

You don?t whack someone above the head with a bar.

You don?t verbally misuse someone.

You don?t provoke someone through a wicked stare.

But you do imagine, cogitate and feel doing some of these things and, as like, send negative shockwaves out into the world.

You may object that holding ourselves responsible to this ?inner morality? seems preferably tough and, possibly, even unjust (?Hey, we didn?t do anything subsequent to all, did we??); but you only need to turn to your spent experience to see that positive and negative force emanating from a person can easily create a huge impact on those round him or her.

Recall situations, for instance, at which place you?re enjoying time with friends, the temper is positive and then? someone enters the space full of hurt and anger. Harbor?t you noticed that, even if he or she doesn?t say anything, the temper of the entire group often shifts?

Naturally, the invert can be true: the group is feeling from the top to the bottom of, someone full of life and positivity enters and voila ? everyone starts to perceive better.

So we?re talking about a appearance that we have all experienced. A thing we can verify as true if we look in the inside of.

And that is why we would do well contemplate this higher form of morals, because otherwise we might be doing all of the ?straight things? but still end up miserable.

The Rainmaker

In that place is a well-known ? apparently real ? story about a rainmaker (made celebrated by Jung), who was called into a hamlet in China that was suffering from a frightful drought.

The villagers had tried everything to create the rains come. The Catholics had made their processions. The Protestants had declared their prayers. The Chinese had burned enrage and fired guns to frighten absent the ?drought demons?, but all to no benefit.

In the end, desperate, they called in a small , old rainmaker from a far away territory.

When he arrived they asked him that which he needed and he said only a still room, some food and irrigate. Once he received these, he disappeared into his space and didn?t come out.

Four days went by and at that time, from out of a clear blue sky, a bulky snowfall came ? something totally out of mark for the season ? and, with that, the dryness was broken.

When asked how he made the snow and rain approach, the rainmaker at first said he did no thing.

Then, pressed further, he explained that at the time he first arrived, the village was in a condition of disharmony.

He therefore retreated to his space so that he could bring himself into a condition of inner harmony and, as a result of that, pull the village into harmony through him. After that it was only of nature for the rains to come.

Becoming a Signal-fire

From the above story and from your individual experience, it should be clear that your interior state of being matters the two to you and the world.

I therefore invite you to clasp in the arms this higher form of morals. A form of morality that includes the two the inner and outer world.

In so doing, I solicit you to become a Beacon.

Beacons perceive that every thought and affecting they have makes a dissimilarity to the world and, as such, do everything they can to originate as much inner harmony as potential.

Yes, there will be moments ? at times short, sometimes long ? at the time inner balance crumbles and they perceive grumpy, irritable and dark; but one and the other time this happens they do their most good to rebalance themselves, because they apprehend that their inner joy is no longer only about them.

Afterwards, one time their inner balance has been re-established they at that time do their best to shine as brightly as potential so that the world around them can be bathed in sanative energy.

In this way they are ?Warriors of the Medium of vision?.

Protectors of the planet.

Guardians of World.

Are you willing to join their ranks?

Scotland launches independence campaign with 007's support

Jeff J Mitchell / Getty Images

Alex Salmond, Scotland's first minister and leader of the Scottish National Party attends a campaign for Scottish independence with supporters at Cineworld on May 25, 2012 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

By Reuters

With rousing speeches, patriotic music and support from actor Sean Connery, supporters of independence for Scotland launched a campaign on Friday that they hope will lead to the demise of a 305-year-old union with England and the breakup of Britain.

"This is the beginning of something really special - the beginning of the campaign to restore nationhood to Scotland," Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), told hundreds of supporters in a hall in the capital Edinburgh.

"We want a Scotland that is fairer and more prosperous."


The campaign hopes to tap into a blend of historical rivalry, different political tastes, and a perception that the British parliament in London does not safeguard Scotland's interests to win a referendum in 2014, which would pave the way for full independence two years later.

If successful, the drive could create serious problems for Britain, which comprises England, Scotland and Wales (Britain is in turn part of the United Kingdom, which also includes Northern Ireland).

Bates College student dies after going swimming at Scottish beach

With its kilts and tartans, bagpipes and whiskey, Scotland has a distinctive, if romanticized, culture. It also has a darker history of poverty, violence and ill health, notably concentrated in the largest city Glasgow, once an engine of the British Empire.

Scotland already has many of the trappings of an independent nation such as its own flag, sports teams, and a history of achievements in science and literature.

Britain's current government, a coalition between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrat Party, is opposed to Scottish independence, as is the opposition Labour Party. Britain is stronger as a union, they argue, and an independent Scotland might struggle on Europe's fringes.

The SNP's Salmond, speaking in front of a giant screen showing a cloud-flecked blue sky, had no such doubts.

He said his aim was to get one million Scots to sign the "Yes Declaration" before the referendum.

Support from Sean Connery
Under a devolved system of government, the Scottish parliament created in 1999 controls health, education and prisons, while the British government in London controls everything else, including foreign policy and defense.

"If the parliament can run education, why can't we run the economy? And if we can protect our old people why can't we protect ourselves without the obscenity of nuclear weapons?" Salmond told the audience.

The launch event drew on rousing patriotic music and a film showing the country's stunning Highland landscapes, fishermen, universities, and, inevitably, leaping kilt-clad dancers.

It also relied on celebrity endorsement. A message of support was read out from actor Sean Connery, an Edinburgh milkman before he found fame as secret agent James Bond.

Hollywood actor Brian Cox called Scotland's current predicament "centralized servitude" and related how, like many Scots, he had become disenchanted by previous Labour governments led by former prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

"The parliament at Westminster can see no further than the end of its own bridge," he said.

Scotland's national poet Liz Lochhead read out a poem focused on English-Scottish rivalry in the 16th century.

Opinion polls show that around 40 percent of Scottish people are sympathetic to independence, with around 10 percent undecided and the remaining 50 percent opposed. South of the border in England, polls show people are largely apathetic.

Author Harry Reid said the referendum's success may hinge on whether the Labour Party, traditionally popular in Scotland, can revive its fortunes.

Scotland is more inclined to vote for the left, whereas English voters have voted in much larger numbers for the right, underscoring a political fault line between north and south.

Although the Conservative Party won more votes than any other party at the last British general election in 2010, it won only one parliamentary seat in Scotland.

Move over, Al Roker! Prince Charles becomes TV weatherman

One joke doing the rounds since two Chinese pandas took up residence in Edinburgh Zoo notes that there are now more pandas in Scotland than Conservative MPs.

Diminished role?
Scotland's preference for a more center-left brand of politics that favors egalitarianism over the free market is reflected in education policy. In England, students have to pay large tuition fees to attend university, whereas in Scotland such education remains free for Scots.

Reid said disenchanted Labour voters who switched to the SNP in disgust at Labour's support for U.S. foreign policy in Iraq and Afghanistan may yet return to the fold. If they do, Scotland's dreams of independence could evaporate, he said.

"If we're going to get a decent Labour government back in 2015 people might wonder whether they really need independence."

Despite its relatively small population of just over five million, compared to England's population of just over 52 million, there are also fears that a "yes" vote would diminish Britain's voice on the world stage.

"The rest of the world would be surprised and shocked that the UK was unable to hold together," Professor John Curtice of the University of Strathclyde told Reuters in a phone interview.

Britain would find it harder to maintain its voice within international bodies such as at the U.N. Security Council or the European Union.

There are also questions about whether Britain would be able to keep its nuclear submarine fleet in Scotland, where it's now based. Also, revenues from Scottish North Sea oil remain important to its coffers.

But history runs deep and, symbolically, the independence referendum will be held on the 700th anniversary of the 1314 Battle of Bannockburn, when an army commanded by England's King Edward II was defeated by a smaller force led by Robert the Bruce, a source of enduring pride for Scottish patriots.

Scotland and England have shared a monarch since 1603 and have been ruled by one single parliament in London since 1707. The SNP's Salmond has said an independent Scotland would retain Queen Elizabeth II as its monarch.

SpaceX Dragon set for rendezvous

The SpaceX company's Dragon cargo capsule is expected to join up with the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday.

Nasa has cleared the unmanned vehicle to move in close to the orbiting platform after a successful series of demonstrations on Thursday.

SpaceX is attempting to become the first commercial concern to run a freight service to the ISS.

Dragon carries half a tonne of food and spares for the 400km-high laboratory.

Astronauts onboard the station will try to grab the ship with a robotic arm once it gets within reach.

The crewmen will then berth the vessel to a free port on the underside of the platform.

"Dragon's 'go' for berthing day," said SpaceX mission director, John Couluris, on completion of Thursday demos.

And Holly Ridings, the Nasa flight director overseeing the SpaceX mission, added: "We had a very successful day, a great day in space; and certainly from the Nasa side we're excited about how the mission is going so far."

Dragon was launched atop a Falcon 9 rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Tuesday.

It has spent the intervening period raising its orbit closer to the altitude of the ISS.

Thursday's tests required Dragon to show off its guidance, control and communications systems at a distance of just 2.5km from the station.

The operations were required by Nasa to prove the new vehicle's responsiveness.

Astronauts Don Petit and Andre Kuipers, reported seeing Dragon moving below them, and were even able to send a command to the capsule to turn on a strobe light.

Unlike the Russian and European robotic freighters that drive all the way into docking ports on the ISS, Dragon merely has to position itself in a zone 10m under the platform to be captured by the Canadarm2. It will be Petit who will be at the arm's controls to make the capture and berthing on Friday.

Ms Ridings, speaking at the Johnson Spaceflight Center in Houston, Texas, cautioned reporters that there was still much to be done: "This is a demonstration flight; a test flight, as we've been saying.

"To get through [Thursday] obviously makes you feel positive, but in terms of the activities for Friday, there's still a lot of really new things that the teams need to perform."

She stated that capture and berthing would probably occur around 10:30 CDT (15:30 GMT; 16:30 BST).

To date, only government-owned and operated vehicles have approached and docked with the space station.

The Dragon mission is part of Nasa's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (Cots) programme which was established to help shift some of the agency's traditional roles and activities into the private sector.

The agency is providing seed funding of approximately $800m to SpaceX and another company, Orbital Sciences Corporation, to enable them to develop new rocket and cargo vehicles.

Orbital's rocket is called Antares, and its freighter is known as Cygnus. The pair should go into space together for the first time before the end of the year.

Once the companies have reached the milestones laid out under Cots, lucrative ISS re-supply contracts will kick in.

Watch Tuesday's launch from Cape Canaveral

For SpaceX, this is valued at $1.6bn (?1bn) and calls for a minimum of 12 Dragon missions to the ISS.

By buying in transportation services from the commercial sector, Nasa hopes to save money it can then spend on more challenging exploration ventures far beyond Earth, at asteroids and Mars.

Freight is just the first service to be contracted out. The ferrying of crews to and from the ISS will be next.

SpaceX wants this business as well, and is developing the safety and life-support systems that would allow Dragon to double up as an astronaut taxi.

How to Use a Specialized Trust -- The Gun Trust Example | Purcell ...

May 23, 2012 ?/? By: Purcell and Amen, Your Estate Matters, L.L.C. Estate Planning Attorneys ?/? Category: Wills and Trusts

Your estate plan should be as complex or as simple as your estate is, but in all cases it should take advantage of the tools that are right for the job. All estates plans should start with a Last Will and Testament; however, after that the estate planning tools you use will depend on your goals and needs. Trusts are another popular estate planning tool. In case you are under the impression that trusts are only for people with vast estates, think again. Specialized trusts have developed over the last few decades and can be an excellent tool to use when you have a very specialized need or a specific asset that needs to be addressed such as a gun collection.

Unlike most estate assets, leaving your gun collection to someone in your Will may not work. The various local, state and federal laws concerning firearms could result in you essentially asking your intended beneficiary to violate one of those laws if you just bequeath your collection to him or her in your Will. A gun trust can solve that problem.

By creating a gun trust, you can transfer ownership of your collection to the trust and appoint a trustee while you are still alive. Upon your death, the trustee can ensure that all transfers of ownership are accomplished according to all applicable laws, thereby preventing any violations. Your gun trust may also make purchasing and selling firearms less complicated while you are still alive. Talk to your estate planning attorney if you think a gun trust might be a valuable addition to your estate plan.

What Is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique ... - Health and Fitness

EFT (emotional freedom technique) is a form of psychological acupressure based on the ancient principles of acupuncture. Instead of needles, EFT combines gentle tapping on key acupuncture points while focusing your thoughts on pain, uncomfortable emotions, memories, cravings or any other problem. EFT is a complimentary therapy that helps the body to re-balance itself, and accelerates healing.

An energy imbalance in the body can cause effects such as illness, physical pain, depression, anxiety, fear, anger, etc. EFT balances the energy system and helps to relieve psychological stress and physical pain. Restoring the balance of the energy system allows the body and mind to resume their natural healing abilities. EFT often works when nothing else will.

EFT is easy to learn and apply. While focusing on an issue you want to release, affirmation and reminder phrases are repeated while tapping various acupressure points on the body with your fingers. Often the process only takes minutes to achieve results. In other cases it may take a little longer if there are underlying issues that also need to be addressed.

EFT can be used on anything; emotional issues, physical pain and healing, fears and phobias, money, success and abundance, addictions, relationships, sports performance, childbirth fears, and so much more. Gary Craig (the founder of the Emotional Freedom Technique) encourages us to ?try it on anything?.

This is where the mind and body connection really works. By saying certain phrases while tapping, reprogramming can take place at a cellular level while you?re focusing on what needs to be cleared and/or reprogrammed so it can happen faster than with other types of alternative methods.

Remember, everything is made up of energy, including us, we?re simply moving it around, realigning it and allowing it to flow.

The benefits of Emotional Freedom Technique:

OptimismRelaxation and better sleepRelieves stress and anxietyPeace of mind, feel calmer and think more clearlyImproves self imagePain ManagementHelps Resolve Emotional IssuesIncreases energy and productivityControls cravings of addictionsImproves sports performanceHelps release and maintain body weight

?EFT, by far, is the most fascinating, most rewarding, most effective tool I have ever found for personal improvement.?
~Gary Craig

If you are new to EFT and want to learn more I highly recommend Gary Craig?s book The EFT Manual. Once you get the hang of it and use it on a regular basis, there is no challenge you can?t overcome!

Happy tapping!

U.S. Advisers Say 'No' to Routine PSA Tests for Prostate Cancer

MONDAY, May 21 (HealthDay News) -- In a highly anticipated move sure to unleash heated debate, a prominent U.S. government advisory panel is recommending that men of all ages no longer be screened for prostate cancer by undergoing the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent group of medical experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine, said PSA screening results in overdiagnosis of prostate cancer and unnecessary treatment that can leave men impotent and incontinent.

This final recommendation comes seven months after the task force drafted a report giving a "D" rating for the PSA blood test. Previous guidelines had stated that most men should undergo screening beginning at age 50.

"Some may say that by rating the test a 'D' we're taking away the possibility of an informed decision, but we don't want that to be the case," said task force co-vice chair Dr. Michael LeFevre, a professor in the department of family and community medicine at the University of Missouri School of Medicine. "This decision does not preclude a man choosing to be screened."

The task force is the same panel that in 2009 rejected regular mammograms for women in their 40s, after also concluding the benefits don't outweigh the harms.

The new recommendation is published online May 22 in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

About 242,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in Americans this year, and about 28,000 will die from it, according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute. More than two-thirds of those deaths occur after age 75, the task force said.

PSA tests -- which measure prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced by the prostate gland -- can detect which men are developing the malignancy. But they cannot discern between cases that will never become life-threatening and those that require treatment, such as surgery, radiation or hormone therapy.

Basing its recommendation mainly on two major trials of PSA testing in asymptomatic men in the United States and Europe, the task force concluded screening may only help one man in every 1,000 to avoid dying from prostate cancer. Up to five in 1,000 men will die within a month of prostate cancer surgery, the panel said, and between 10 and 70 per 1,000 men will suffer lifelong adverse effects, such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and bowel dysfunction.

Many will also suffer unduly from persistent anxiety, the report said.

Critics of the task force's decision said the group underestimated the PSA test's benefits and overestimated its harms and also overlooked significant methodological flaws in the studies on which it based the "D" recommendation. None of the task force members are urologists or oncologists, making them unqualified to broach the topic, some health experts said.

"I think they're throwing away the baby with the bathwater," said Dr. William Catalona, a professor of urology and director of the clinical prostate cancer program at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, who wrote an accompanying journal editorial condemning the move.

"There's just no other way to detect prostate cancer early than through PSA testing," Catalona added. "If we were to completely stop PSA testing in all men . . . it would result in countless men dying of metastatic prostate cancer. People are happy to be cured of their prostate cancer, even if they have some side effects."

Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society and an outspoken figure on the pros and cons of cancer screening tests, encouraged men to make their own choice about PSA screening while keeping the risks and benefits in mind. Certain men, including blacks and those with a family history of the disease, are at significantly higher risk of developing prostate cancer, he noted.

"I am hoping this (recommendation) shuts down mass screenings, where men are only told that this will help them, which is stretching the truth," Brawley said. "They're rarely told about the potential for harm and that, for the people running the screening, the [venture] is usually quite lucrative for them."

LeFevre said it remains to be seen whether health insurers will change their coverage of PSA screening based on the task force's recommendation. For one thing, insurers aren't supposed to tailor coverage decisions to USPSTF guidelines, he said.
