You Name It, and Exercise Helps It

Randi considers the Y.M.C.A. her lifeline, especially the pool. Randi weighs more than 300 pounds and has borderline diabetes, but she controls her blood sugar and keeps her bright outlook on life by swimming every day for about 45 minutes.

Randi overcame any self-consciousness about her weight for the sake of her health, and those who swim with her and share the open locker room are proud of her. If only the millions of others beset with chronic health problems recognized the inestimable value to their physical and emotional well-being of regular physical exercise.

“The single thing that comes close to a magic bullet, in terms of its strong and universal benefits, is exercise,” Frank Hu, epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health, said in the Harvard Magazine.

Can Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Access the Unconscious?

Reading psychoanalyst Darian Leader's new book about depression, The New Black, I was transfixed by his attack on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT is now the psychological treatment-du-jour for depression both in the US, the UK and elsewhere. Randomised controlled studies show it is effective and is a treatment that can be delivered in a relatively limited time.

Book reviewers aren't supposed to admit to only reading the first chapter, but I just couldn't get past Darian Leader's views on the unconscious.

"CBT sees people's symptoms as the outcome of faulty learning. With proper re-education, they can correct their behaviour and bring it closer to the desired norm. In itself, CBT is a form of conditioning that aims at mental hygiene. It has no place for the realities of sexuality or violence that lie at the heart of human life. These are seen as anomalies or learning errors rather than as primary and fundamental types.

Njoy Cigarettes Without Smoke and Carcinogens

CES 2008 didn’t host only products presentations from large known companies but also interesting innovations such as the Njoy cigarette from Sottera, a small company located in Scottsdale, Arizona, which invented a great product to help smokers quit this habit or to offer them a new healthier smoking alternative.

If you are a cigar or cigarette smoker you will find this product in the two shapes and in several color options to have not only a smoking source but also a cool accessory.

This type of cigarette consists of a microelectronic device powered by rechargeable Li-Ion batteries and used together with replaceable cartridges to simulate the smoking process.

BBC Chief: Male Musical Tastes more Intellectual

BBC chief: male musical tastes more 'intellectual'

The great gender debate has once more been dragged out to play today, the topic this time how far a person's sex determines their appreciation of music.

The head of popular music at the BBC, Lesley Douglas, has sparked controversy by suggesting that men "tend to be more interested in the intellectual side of music", while their female counterparts' relationship with the art form is one rooted in emotion.

Ms Douglas was speaking in defence of recent changes made to the radio station BBC 6 Music. Attempts to reverse the marginalisation of the radio station's female listeners met with disapproval - in particular from its male audience members, many of whom demanded the removal of recently-appointed George Lamb as a female-friendly "personality DJ".

Area 51

Area 51 is placed in the southwestern portion of Lincoln County in southern Nevada. It`s a large military airfield, one of the most secretive places in the world.

The intense secrecy surrounding the base, the very existence of which the US Government barely acknowledges, has led it to become the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and UFO folklore.

Many of the hypotheses concern underground facilities at Groom or at nearby Papoose Lake, and include claims of a transcontinental underground railroad system, a disappearing airstrip which briefly appears when water is sprayed onto its camouflaged asphalt, and engineering based on alien technology.

Another hypothesis is that Area 51 is a place which simulates the environment of the moon, and it`s suggested that the entire moon landing in 1969 was a hoax and was filmed in parts of Area 51.
