Did You Take Loghomeology 101 In College?
In case you missed the course, Loghomeology is the science behind log and timber frame homes. Regrettably, there are not any universities offering a degree in this field, but that hasn't stopped what was once a cottage industry (no pun intended), in becoming one of the fastest growing segments of modern home building. The log home industry is currently enjoying the largest growth phase in its history. The baby boomers have raised their families, some are retiring or looking for vacation homes, but most are simply at a stage where they can now choose how and where they want to spend the rest of their lives. A surprising percentage of this group is choosing to build their dream home from logs. This...

Europe's New Jews
They inhabit self-imposed ghettoes, subject to derision and worse, the perennial targets of far-right thugs and populist politicians of all persuasions. They are mostly confined to menial jobs. They are accused of spreading crime, terrorism and disease, of being backward and violent, of refusing to fit in.Their religion, atavistic and rigid, insists on ritual slaughter and male circumcision.

Many studies have been done to research the effects of motivation and mental health. As the implications of helping those with negative self-esteem, depression and anxiety are immense this is certainly an area of research that deserves a great deal of attention. Psychology Online reports on a study investigating the differences between INTERNAL and EXTERNAL MOTIVATION. The report states that "Although our society is largely extrinsically-motivated by external rewards such as money, fame and power, research has indicated those who are intrinsically-motivated by inner desires for creativity, fulfillment and inner satisfaction are psychologically healthier and happier."

How To Make Your Product Packaging Newsworthy
Recently mainstream media coverage of the packaging industry is more in-depth than usual. I see several articles about packaging every week. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the news articles deal with negative perceptions of packaging and its influence on society.

Most of what was written in these articles did not bode well for packaging.So how can you get your product packaging seen by the media in a more favorable light?

Mental Health Stigma - What Can You Do?
What is Stigma? Stigma is the use of stereotypes and labels when describing someone, and it is often attached to people who suffer from mental health issues. We don't fully understand how the brain works yet, but one thing we DO know is that it is an organ. Yet our society doesn't readily accept brain disorders the way we accept other organ disorders. Why is this so? Stigma is a harsh reality for people who have mental health problems, because it prevents them from enjoying a normal and productive life. So many people today feel uncomfortable about mental health issues, despite the fact that there is growing evidence that more and more people are developing these problems. In fact, many people are...

Mental Health Insurance
Despite public awareness campaigns highlighting the issues facing people with mental health problems and the fact that no one is immune to developing a mental illness, people with mental health problems are still facing unfair discrimination, prejudice and stigma every day of their lives, not just from members of the public but also from businesses, banks, employers and even when it comes to taking out an insurance policy.

As a result, there are more incidents of debilitating back pain, neck ache, headaches, RSI and burnout that are reducing productivity and increasing stress leave.More than half of computer users each year develop neck or shoulder symptoms and just over one-third develop an impairment or the loss of some function [2] One survey found that backache was the most common complaint, followed by sore eyes and headaches.[1]In Australia, back problems are the leading specific musculoskeletal cause of health system expenditure, with an estimated total cost of $700 million in 1993-1994...

Talk to a Psychiatrist About Your Depression
Perhaps one of the most intimidating experiences is when it comes time to talk to a psychiatrist about your symptoms. Psychiatrists are, by their nature, looking for pharmacological cures to your problems. Things that may seem significant to you will be ignored by the doctor. It does not mean that he or she is trying to minimalize your symptoms, but that they are looking for more general trends. What's important is to remember that your therapist and your psychiatrist serve different purposes. A therapist is the one who wants to talk about your day to day issues, who wants to check on your mood from day to day. This is where the smaller issues will be discussed. A psychiatrist is going to...
How to Tell if Someone is Lying
Humans lie. And ever since Adam said "What Apple?" humans without omniscient means to look inside each others' heads have been searching for easier clues. Technology joined the fray measuring physiological changes that indicated stress. But the tech assumes liars experience stress when telling untruths ---and this is not always the case. People may feel stress in those situations but for other reasons as well. Truth serums, in the form of barbituates like sodium pentothal, were believed to rewire the brain making it impossible to lie. But the subjects were usually so sedated it made it impossible for them to speak as well. The latest technological advances discovered blood flows differently in the...

The Science of Mother Love
A growing body of scientific evidence shows that the way babies are cared for by their mothers will determine not only their emotional development, but the biological development of the child's brain and central nervous system as well. The nature of love, and how the capacity to love develops, has become the subject of scientific study over the last decade. New data is emerging from a multitude of disciplines including neurology, psychology, biology, ethology, anthropology and neurocardiology. Something scientific disciplines find in common when putting love under the microscope is that in addition to shaping the brains of infants, mother's love acts as a template for love itself and has far...

Is Provigil Effective for the Symptoms of ADD and ADHD?
Provigil is an interesting drug. It keeps narcoleptics from falling asleep and it also appears to help people with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) stay focused.But how effective is Provigil for ADHD? That depends entirely on which study you review since Provigil has shown mixed results in studies related to ADHD treatment. The results of one study published in July 2000 were so disappointing that the manufacturer of the medication, Cephalon Inc., decided to pursue other indications for the drug. Then, in February 2001, the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry published the results of a study that indicated potential...

EE Meditation, Shaman + Integrated Soul Personality, Fragmentation, MPD + DID, Psychology; Pt 2 of 3
There is in every person the possibility of an integrated Soul Personality. However, normally the average person is split to a greater or lesser degree, dependent upon the amount of pain, trauma and undigested stress in their lives and dependent upon the amount of work they have done to integrate their personalities by means of therapy and meditation.Therapy and psychology allow intellectual appreciation of the problem in ourselves and others. It takes meditation to heal the splits and integrate the separated selves.Colin Ross (Ross, 1997) lists 11 dissociative features of the Shamen work, and relates each to Dissociative Identity Disorder or Splitting. These parallelisms are worth mentioning here...

Job Seeker Holiday Blues
As the holidays descend upon our familys and loved one, those of us without employment, or those who are underemployed yet motivated into a job change, feel the pang of the failed job search more keenly than at other months of the year. Sometimes, if our job search has been more intense or focused or spread over a long enough time-frame, we can begin to question our personal value, especially if we've had a few job interviews that went well but then went away, or we had little or no significant response to our resume or mail or telephone outreach to prospective employers. Disappontment can mount.The blues can set in, and if we're not careful, we can descend into an actual depression, whereby all...

How Pilates Can Promote Good Health In Both Mind And Body
It's been known for some time that a good daily exercise routine can help both improve a person's physical health and also their mental outlook as well. The body just seems to respond well to being kept in tune. But even further advancement in mind/body health has been brought about in recent years through the use of the pilates exercise method.Joseph Pilates formulated the basic exercises that comprise the system over 70 years ago, and so the system of graceful movements is named after him. Of course, since that time many more exercises have been added and refinements made, but many of the original exercises are still in use as well.Pilates felt that the mind and body were connected as a unit and...

Alcohol and Drug Rehab: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Issues
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression is the most common diagnosis among adults in the United States today. It is estimated that one out of three depressed people suffer from some form of addiction or substance abuse problem. In addition to the above, there appears to be a common tendency among those suffering from depression to abuse drugs or alcohol as a means of coping with their symptoms.

One of the obstacles they face is while the person may feel depressed, there are many drugs, including alcohol...
Competency in Counseling
There is no shortage of advice-givers in today's society. Actually, it seems no matter where you turn, you hear someone giving advice or counsel on one issue or another. Frequently it's hard to try and avoid those wanting to give advice. To prove my point, simply express to others a dilemma you have, and watch folks stumble over themselves to give their opinion. Some counsel you hear is good, little is from a biblical worldview, and much counsel is simply bad and ungodly. With that in mind, who are capable to provide counsel or give advice? Are Christians competent to counsel people with problems? What actually constitutes competency? What are the qualifications for a counselor? Biblical...
Relation of Colour with Child Psychology
This time I am presenting in front of you all the relation of colour with child psychology. I hope that this article would be appreciated by every reader.Colour is the bright site of childhood. Children love all types of colours and give an instant respond on it. However children's response differs from adults' reaction. If you are to communicate with children, colour should become your ally. But you need to use the colour language correctly. Children use limited palette, which becomes wider as they grow up.Colour is the first characteristic, which children can distinguish. All of us have heard that children perceive only black and white colours (light and darkness). Young parents often paint...
The various aspects of social psychology could be examined within the wide concepts of intelligence, gender, advertising, consumer culture, stress and psychological issues that define society. Considering consumer behaviour, social psychology uses convincing theories to explain addictive consumption, the influence of advertising and the phenomenon of purchasing. Advertising is seen as a subtle psychological manipulation as it creates desires and anxiety in the potential consumers (Papers4you.com, 2006).Advertising can have both psychological and commercial aspects including misattribution, bias, suggestibility, and could be studied from global or local perspectives. Organisational consumption is...
Job Interview Issues - How To Dress To Match The Interview
Recently a job seeker sent me this inquiry below, relating to their problems with how to dress for an interview. Read on and see how sometimes the issues become confusing."Hello Mark,Couple days ago I went to a job interview with a national restaurant chain. I got the interview through a recruiter, who told me to dress "appropriately" for the job interview. So I wore Dockers, a nice shirt with button down collar and neck tie. And I wore my non-slip shoes, as the interview was to take place at one of their restaurant locations, I figured safety first. I would have wore my dress suit, but when the recruiter said to dress "appropriately," I took that to mean to dress according to the interview location...

A Story of a Rose, an Artist, and History
The year was 2700 AD, and the technological advances of mankind were impressive. By now, 99% of disease had been eliminated, and the average life span was around 150 years. Innovating and exciting new fields of science had been opened and subdivided. Art found new and creative ways to be expressed. The ways of the people became not necessarily simple, but all directed towards fulfilling the passion of the heart, the creativitiy of the mind.Bastello walked with his/her lover Rols, gently trotting across the otherwise untouched cobblestone.

Rheumatoid Arthritis : the time bomb
The beginning is very much hard to spot as we migh just wake up in the morning and feel that the fingers on our hand do not function as they should. A little of bit of movement and everything is fine. However, this morning exercise keeps prolonging as we get to a point where the exercise lasts for the whole day and the joints begin to ache. The walk is not a pleasure anymore and we are not able to hold a cup of coffee without shaking it out.So this is how it ends. Rheumatoid arthritis is practically unhealable and the condition is very fast the younger the age. Arthritis is usually associated with older people, however, rheumatoid arthritis endangers especially middle aged individuals and it is not...
How Non-Quality Data Can Cost Money
IntroductionWhen viewed from a high level, the cost of poor quality data can affect a company's bottom-line in two ways. First, there's the cost of scrap and rework, and second, missed opportunities.An example of scrap and rework costs might be when an agent errs in recording a customer's address details, and consequently a marketing premium is sent to the wrong address. Later, the customer calls to complain.The complaint needs to be handled (extra call center time), the address details then need to be entered a second time (rework), and a second premium needs to be sent. The initial premium is scrapped.An example of missed opportunity costs might be a credit card that is not granted because the...
Gender Bias in Diagnosing Personality Disorders
Maybe personality disorders are not objective clinical entities, but culture-bound syndromes. Ever since Freud, more women than men sought therapy. Consequently, terms like "hysteria' are intimately connected to female physiology and alleged female psychology. The DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the bible of the psychiatric profession) expressly professes gender bias: personality disorders such as Borderline and Histrionic are supposed to be more common among women. but the DSM is rather even-handed: other personality disorders (e.g., the Narcissistic and Antisocial as well as the Schizotypal, Obsessive-Compulsive, Schizoid, and Paranoid) are more prevalent among men.Why this gender...
General Tennis Psychology
Tennis psychology is nothing more than understanding the workings of your opponent's mind, and gauging the effect of your own game on his mental viewpoint, and understanding the mental effects resulting from the various external causes on your own mind. You cannot be a successful psychologist of others without first understanding your own mental processes, you must study the effect on yourself of the same happening under different circumstances. You react differently in different moods and under different conditions. You must realize the effect on your game of the resulting irritation, pleasure, confusion, or whatever form your reaction takes. Does it increase your efficiency? If so, strive for it...
Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load
The experts used to tell us we should avoid simple carbohydrates, i.e. sugar, and instead eat complex carbohydrates, i.e. starches. Some of them are still saying that, which is unfortunate because scientists now know that this is not the right way to look at it.Scientists now know that some starches, such as baked potato for example, cause your blood sugar and insulin levels to increase dramatically in much the same way as sugars cause these levels to jump. So they constructed something called the Glycemic Index, which shows how fast and to what degree a given amount of each kind of carbohydrate causes your blood sugar and insulin levels to rise.In a typical glycemic index, pure glucose is...

Healthwrap Oral Health
A new review suggests dentists need to spend more time, using psychology to convince people to do a better job at improving their oral health. The fact is, tooth brushing and flossing remain the keys to oral health. They are the most important steps in helping to keep a person's teeth for a lifetime. Still, brushing and flossing are not as popular as dentists would like. Nearly 90 percent of periodontists polled said patients are lax about flossing frequently and 61 percent reported that their patients could improve their flossing technique. So how far does it need to go to get patients on track? Some experts suggest meeting with psychologists to convince them to take care of their teeth! While it...

Who's Who In The Mental Health Service: GPS, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, CPNS And Allied Therapists
When a person is experiencing psychological or emotional difficulties (hereafter called "mental health problems"), they may well attend their GP. The GP will interview them and based on the nature and severity of the persons symptoms may either recommend treatment himself or refer the person on to a specialist. There can seem a bewildering array of such specialists, all with rather similar titles, and one can wonder as to why they've been referred to one specialist rather than another. In this article I give an outline of the qualifications, roles and typical working styles of these specialists. This may be of interest to anyone who is about to, or already seeing, these specialists. The General...
