Remember what I said about Chaos?
I've been waiting for something meaty to hang a post on, one that wasn't just a regurgitation of my paying job. (Mmmm, regurgitated meat ....) Well, there have been three CRM upheavals this week, so it's time to put up—when you have major announcements from SAP, Sage, and Oracle all at once, things are bound to get a bit queasy. And now I'm done with the peristaltic metaphors.
First, SAP and its acquisition of Business Objects. It seemed like a good idea to me at the time, and I think that came through in my news report. SAP is good infrastructure, and adding functional depth with the much-loved maker of Crystal Reports gives the company hope of getting its props, rather than being the "other" infra vendor after Oracle. Much has been made of the shift in SAP's strategy, from organic growth and in-house development to Ellison-style shopping spree. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do when you're in a competitive market, so the perception of SAP gazing into the abyss of acquisitiveness and having it taint them somehow is crap. Still, quotes like the one from Rich Williams (at the end of this Bloomberg article) must be giving Larry Ellison a victory stiffy.
Next came this little shocker from Sage, punting Ron Verni and Jim Eckstaedt based on the North America division's trailing performance. Granted, Sage has seemed a little directionless this past year, but putting Nina Smith in charge of the new Business Management division was a step in the right direction. I figured she'd have a thankless job; now in addition to that she may well have to undo her efforts to conform with new policies. I don't know her, nor do I know Jim all that well, but Ron's a good guy who is beloved of Sage's partner-resellers. This will be a blow, and so is the likely loss of partnership with Biz Objects. Good luck to Ron and Jim wherever they land.
Last, today's monster story about Oracle trying to snap up BEA Systems. That rather neatly trumps SAP—or does it? BEA's stock price quickly shot up past the offer tendered by Oracle, and there's talk of a bidding war. IBM is mentioned, as is Microsoft, but SAP is the big gun. A bidding war between SAP and Oracle, as pretty much everybody has been quick to point out, would be a rematch of the Retek fight, and it would get ugly fast. I can't say it wouldn't be interesting, but I wonder if anybody except Carl Icahn would really win.
Each piece is big in its own right, but the 1-2-3 synchronicity of them all together is great. SAP pulls an Oracle, screwing Sage in the process. Sage has to absorb the Biz Objects hit while dumping its senior management. Then Oracle does its own thing, possibly sticking it to SAP in turn, or possibly getting stuck itself. Daggers are flying everywhere, and it makes my job fun and relevant. Sweet!
I promise to write something that relates to life and not work soon. Until then, peace on you.
There's an interesting discussion going on here about the future of what we now call CRM (or CEM, sometimes). More than a discussion, really; it's an effort to define the future of customer/business interaction. One of the things that needs to be defined is what we call it going forward.
CRM is a comfy name. We know more or less what it means, and what sorts of applications and activities fit into it. But to some people, it's just another TLA, and it conjures unpleasant images of how relationships can be managed, leveraged, and quantified. CRM 2.0 is an abomination to my eye, combining the trend of slapping 2.0 onto everything with the idea that CRM is just about technology. It intensifies the negative aspects of CRM.
CEM (customer experience management) has the advantage of including the concept of customer experience—how the customer engages you as well as how you engage them—but it's still a TLA, and it has that pesky M for management on it. I know that I mention customer experience whenever I talk about CRM, but exchanging CRM for CEM seems a pointless half-measure.
Simplicity should rule here. I propose no acronym or abbreviation. Just call it customer care. You can talk of customer care efforts, techniques, software applications, or anything else. But customer care is at the heart of everything we're working for. A good customer experience is one where they feel they're being taken care of. Businesses can't properly serve a customer's needs without the sort of information that CRM collects and dissects. The broad concept of customer care may not sound as exciting and tech-crunchy as WTF 2.0, but it gets the point across with a minimum of explanation and a maximum of flexibility. Call it CC if you want (though contact center specialists will get all pissy about it), but my money's on Customer Care.
Well, this news gets the week off to a quick start, doesn't it? It looks like SAP is getting tired of playing the "me-too" spot behind Oracle in the press, and is reminding the world that it's got a world-class enterprise computing platform of its own. A platform, mind you, that doesn't have nearly the level of acquisition-integration woes that Oracle does. NetWeaver appears strong while Fusion is still coming together, and I think the joining of Business Objects' winning BI capabilities with SAP could prolong Oracle's current slide in the rankings.
Don't get me wrong—Oracle has created, or owns, some of the best enterprise capabilities out there. Hell, Siebel still rates at the top of everybody's charts for functionality, and it was acquired two years ago. If Oracle can get its act together (or maybe it has and just needs to find a way to portray that message) then it can recapture any ground it has lost to its European competitor. Either way, I have something to write about.
Better minds than mine have already chimed in on this topic. I recommend Ray Wang's Software Insider post to get Forrester Research's POV. Ray's terrific, and anytime I can steal copy from him, I do it. If you have access to Credit Suisse reports, Jason Maynard did his usual bangup job on the financial perspective. He's another one who's eminently quotable. The sincerest form of flattery, what?
It could be that I'm naive, or that I've spent too much time in The City That Never Sleeps, but it seems to me that major metro areas should be able to support a level of business that doesn't include closed doors. Why should it only be White Castle that's open 24 hours?
Population is increasing worldwide. The US is shifting more and more to a service economy, driving more of that population to cities. People's work schedules often don't allow them to take care of personal business in a convenient manner. Wouldn't it make sense to answer all of this by using the available work pool to answer the customer need by keeping businesses open 24/7?
"But wait," you say. "The Web is always on and always open for business. Doesn't that do the same thing?" Well, not really. Web retail and service businesses don't create the number of new jobs that brick-and-mortar would in this instance. And a Web store doesn't help when you realize at 3 a.m. that you forgot to restock on toilet paper. And the always-on nature of the Web only works when your effing ISP can come through with the goods (RoadRunner, I'm talking to you—I'd like to go a whole day without needing to reset my modem twice).
Clearly, not every business can maintain such a schedule, nor does every area need it. But if things continue the way they are, I think we'll soon reach a point where it's a valid option. But I've been wrong before. I'd be more than happy to discuss this topic further and find out why I'm an ignorant putz who just doesn't get it.
Right then, since calling myself "old-school" is no longer a sufficient cover for my laziness, I'm starting a blog. There's too much going on in CRM—customer relationship management—to fit into my normal coverage for CRM magazine and its Web site. This is my way of adding my voice to the news and developments, and maybe get away with some things I couldn't in my 9-to-5. In other words, this is unofficial, supplemental, supernumerary, and whatever else it has to be to keep my paying job and my personal opinions separate.
Don't think that it will be all business, either. In addition to being old-school and lazy, I'm also cheap, so there will be entries that have nothing to do with CRM, sales force automation, channel management, or any of that nonsense. If I want to talk about my thoroughly mediocre skillz at Guitar Hero or Bioshock, my thoughts on microbrews, or how completely awesome and sweet my girlfriend is, then that's just what I'll do, goddammit.
Enough intro. I'll be back when I have something to say. Welcome to the chaos.

FDA Designates MDMA as a "Breakthrough Therapy" for PTSD; Approves Phase 3 Trials

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given its approval for Phase 3 trials to treat participants with PTSD using MDMA ("ecstacy"):
The non-profit Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to MDMA for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). MAPS and the FDA have also reached agreement under the Special Protocol Assessment Process (SPA) for the design of two upcoming Phase 3 trials (MAPP1 and MAPP2) of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for patients with severe PTSD.
MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is a novel treatment package that combines psychotherapeutic techniques with three administrations of MDMA as a pharmacological adjunct. By granting Breakthrough Therapy Designation, the FDA has agreed that this treatment may have a meaningful advantage and greater compliance over available medications for PTSD.
The first Phase 3 trial (MAPP1), "A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Site Phase 3 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Manualized MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for the Treatment of Severe Posttraumatic Stress Disorder," will begin enrolling subjects in Spring 2018, after the completion of an open-label lead-in training study at Phase 3 sites starting this fall.
[...] The Phase 3 trials will assess the efficacy and safety of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy in 200-300 participants with PTSD, aged 18 and older, at sites in the U.S., Canada, and Israel. Participants will be randomized to receive three day-long sessions of either MDMA or placebo in conjunction with psychotherapy over a 12-week treatment period, along with 12 associated 90-minute non-drug preparatory and integration sessions. The primary endpoint will be the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5), as assessed by a blinded pool of independent raters.
In MAPS' completed Phase 2 trials with 107 participants, 61% no longer qualified for PTSD after three sessions of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy two months following treatment. At the 12-month follow-up, 68% no longer had PTSD. All Phase 2 participants had chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD, and had suffered from PTSD for an average of 17.8 years.
Also at ScienceAlert, the Washington Post, and Science Magazine:
Since 2012, FDA has designated close to 200 drugs as breakthrough therapies, a status that indicates there's preliminary evidence that an intervention offers a substantial improvement over other options for a serious health condition. The agency aims to help develop and review these treatments faster than other candidate drugs.

As well it should. The burden of proof here is on the proponents to prove that the substance is safe enough and effective enough for a given use. We're long past the point where there was enough need for new treatments and a lack of resources for studying them.
Ultimately, the people who claim without research to back it that these things are safe and effective are just as bad as the people who think we should ban all use, including research, without a body of evidence to point to.
Alcoholism and such are serious issues, but they're also not completely without treatment available either.

Schedule I is a research killer. [soylentnews.org]
MAPS has been working with MDMA, LSD, psilocybin, etc. Very slowly. Because of the barriers to research that come with being on Schedule I. There have already been studies that have found evidence that LSD can be used as a treatment. Safety of LSD is well established.
The Controlled Substances Act is unscientific. The Schedule I criteria are completely arbitrary.
"The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse." = anything they want it to mean.
"The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States." = also broad enough to ignore accepted medical uses, and it's difficult to get additional research done because of Schedule I.
"There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision." = anything they want it to mean.
The burden of proof is for proponents to prove to the FDA that a drug can be a safe and effective treatment. The DEA and Controlled Substances Act are shit and should be eliminated. It would save money and lives.

The more signals that can be simultaneously received and the higher the receiver sensitivity, the higher the level of measurement noise. The stated objective in creating the GS16 was to develop a dynamically and automatically adjusted receiver that selects the best signal and retrieves the best of multiple frequencies from all GNSS systems for the situation in real time.
For example, the large number of channels enables the simultaneous measurement of different modulations on the same carrier frequency. The simplest illustration of this is the simultaneous use of L2C and L2P on the L2 carrier frequency. Both signals are compared and an ad hoc decision is made about whether the more exact L2P, the stronger L2C or both signals should be used. Signals that are too weak can also have an adverse effect on the result – less can in fact, be more.
This intelligent technology, which enables the best signal to be selected according to application, is called RTKplus. Essentially, RTKplus consists of an improved GNSS antenna, a new GNSS measurement engine and a new RTK algorithm, which work in harmony and have only one objective: to determine the best position from a maximum number of observations.

Q: Hum on car stereo when source powered by inverter I have an auxiliary input on my car stereo, which I plugged my laptop into to play music with.  It worked fine until I plugged my laptop into an inverter so the battery didn't die.  An extremely noticeable hum started coming through the speakers which corresponded to the speed of the engine.  Is there any way to prevent this?

A: The hum is caused by  ground loop, a common issue with audio equipment that shares inputs with various devices within the same DC circuit (sometimes in more complex floating negative circuits too)
This hum is always there! It is just filtered out by the audio equipment using Ground as a reference point for removing this "noise", always.
This noise can include clicking from indicators(relays and high impedance), speed (caused by high voltage discharge on spark plugs) other mechanical/electrical related equipment.
The reason it starts to "pick up" this noise once you plug your charger into the inverter(which makes things worse because it "amplifies" all the noise) is that because the ground loops over the filtered audio and causes a double refernce which confuses the filters and assuemes this is the correct audio.
You need a simple ground loop isolotor between the inputs. or avoid creating ground loops. ie ( ground creates a full circle via the audio cable)

Just for fun
Professional (or highly addicted) car audio enthusiasts go to crazy extends in trying to reduce noise in audio to be able to amplify the signal into thousands of watts and over 120decidbels. Noise can cause speakers to distorts which technically makes the loudness go away and also damages the speakers core. Some methods include pre amplifiers, special and very expensive alternators-sometimes even several alternators that go through very expensive current stabilizers, and a variety of other highly priced goods. But unless you build something like this.. a simlple 3quid ground loop isolator is your best bet.

A: No, I don't think the hum has anything to do with the switching of your switching power supply for two reasons:
*

*The hum is proportional to engine speed.  The switcher wouldn't know nor care what the engine speed is.

*The hum is in the audible range.  Switching frequencies are generally much higher.

What is most likely happening is that the connection to the laptop back thru the power supply causes a ground loop.  The audio signal coming out of the laptop is referenced to ground in a different place than the audio amp's input.  The difference between the two grounds shows up as signal at the amp.
Such ground differentials are very common in a car.  Since this is proportional to engine speed, it is probably the pulses caused from firing the sparkplugs.  Each spark plug firing is a multiple-kV event, so a little bit of that causing ground differential between two separate points isn't surprising at all.

A: Probably the humming is related with the power supply of your laptop.
Laptop power supplies are SMPSs, that means they switch on and off the transformer in order to regulate the output voltage. This switching is made at a much higher frequency than we have on our outlets (50Hz in Europe or 60Hz in US).
The humming must be generated on the power supply (in this case the frequency should be high) or by the mains itself (in the case the frequency should be low).
In both cases this can be caused for the filtering used on the power supply or by a defective component (usually a capacitor).

A: This Hum is caused by the inverter. I use my inverter for my sub causing a light hum. if you look on the back of the inverter case (or you could google it.) it says that it can causes a hum or buzz noise to speakers.

Page Speed Will Now Count Even More on Mobile Search
HomeBlogDigital MarketingPage Speed Will Now Count Even More on Mobile Search
May / 22 / 2018
Google Is Watching Your Mobile Page Speed Closely
You knew it had to be just a matter of time. Our world has gone mobile and everyone likes things at light speed. With so much information available and so many choices at our fingertips, most people just don't have the patience to wait for slow websites. So with that in mind, it really comes as no surprise that Google is taking a big interest in page speed.
Responsive, Close By, and Fast
The search engine giant has already made responsiveness, or how mobile-friendly a site is, a key factor in search engine results. Location is also a huge factor. But that's not enough for mobile users. When people perform a mobile search they not only want to find the closest results with a mobile-friendly design, but they also want that information fast. That's because they're often looking for something in the very moment they want to buy it. They don't want to wait to find the information they seek.
Page Speed Counts More
To that end, Google recently announced an enhanced PageSpeed Insights tool. This tool will help web owners to optimize how quickly their pages load. That's great news for website owners. However, it's also important that web owners use this tool because Google also just announced that loading speed will be an important factor in mobile search results. This July, the search engine king will change the way it prioritizes mobile pages in its rankings. Page loading speed will now carry more weight in the rankings.
Relevant Content Still Counts the Most
However, don't get caught thinking that speed is everything. Although page loading speed will be given more emphasis, Google noted that pages with the most relevant content, according to the search, will still be given higher rankings than pages with less relevant content, even if they load faster. So, although the so-called "Speed Update" is important, you still have to provide quality content in order to score well in the rankings.
NUVEW Keeps Your Rankings High
When you work with NUVEW you can be sure that we are up to date with the latest Google priorities. Therefore, we're prepared to help you stay on top of the rankings.

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (also known as DMT, N,N-DMT and "The Spirit Molecule") is a naturally-occurring psychedelic substance of the tryptamine class that produces uniquely powerful and short-lived psychedelic effects when administered.[1]
Depending on the dosage and method of administration, the effects of DMT can range from mild psychedelic states to powerfully immersive life-altering experiences which are often described as the ultimate displacement from ordinary consciousness in which users are placed in a subjective state where they can experience exploring ineffable spiritual realms or alternate dimensions.[2]
DMT is present in over 65 species of plants and has been identified as being a normal constituent of human metabolism and an endogenous neurotransmitter in certain rodents. Its presence is also known to be widespread throughout the plant kingdom.[3][4] Although various theories have been postulated, its neurobiological function has yet to be determined.[citation needed]
In modern times, DMT is known as an extremely powerful visionary psychedelic entheogen that, when vaporized or smoked, produces short-lived effects with a very rapid onset that is sometimes described as an "impossibly high-speed rollercoaster ride." When ingested in combination with a MAOI or RIMA agent, it becomes active orally and significantly longer lasting, immersive, and interactive in nature: this combination is known as ayahuasca.[5] Ayahuasca brews have been used traditionally in South America since at least around the year 1500.[6]
Unlike most highly prohibited substances, DMT is not considered to be addictive or toxic by the scientific community.[7][8] Nevertheless, unpredictable adverse reactions such as uncontrollable anxiety, delusions and psychosis can always occur, particularly among those predisposed to mental disorders.[9] While these negative reactions or "bad trips" can often be attributed to user inexperience or improper preparation of set and setting, they have been known to happen spontaneously among even highly experienced users as well. It is therefore highly advised to use harm reduction practices if using this substance.

10.1 Discussion
11 Literature
DMT was first synthesized in 1931 by the German chemist Richard Helmuth Fredrick Manske.[11][12] Its discovery as a natural product is generally credited to Brazilian chemist and microbiologist Oswaldo Gonçalves de Lima who, in 1946, isolated an alkaloid he named nigerina (nigerine) from the root bark of jurema preta (Mimosa tenuiflora).[12][13][14] DMT was unequivocally identified in 1959, when American chemists were provided a sample of Mimosa tenuiflora.[15][16] DMT was also isolated and formally identified in the seeds and pods of Anadenanthera peregrina by a team of American chemists led by Evan Horning in 1955.[15][17]
Since 1955, DMT has been found in a host of organisms: in at least fifty plant species belonging to ten families,[18] and in at least four animal species, including one gorgonian[19] and three mammalian species.
Substitutive structure of a tryptamine molecule
DMT, or N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a naturally-occurring indole alkaloid molecule of the tryptamine class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicyclic indole heterocycle attached at R3 to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. DMT contains two methyl groups (CH3-) bound to the terminal amine RN at the end of this chain. DMT has many homologs and analogs from base tryptamines like MET and DPT, to four and five position substituted variants such as 4-PO-DMT (Psilocybin), 4-AcO-DMT (Psilacetin), and 5-MeO-DMT.
DMT's psychedelic effects are believed to come from its efficacy at the 5-HT2A receptor as a partial agonist. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.
In addition to this, N,N-dimethyltryptamine is believed to be an endogenous ligand for the sigma receptor. However, the significance of the sigma-1 receptor remains the subject of ongoing scientific research.[20]
DMT in its smokeable form is reported to be the least mentally inebriating psychedelic. It is due to a lack of perceived intoxication that many people describe DMT as a genuine experience that is actually happening to them. It is worth noting that many people report that smoked DMT is extremely clear-headed in its style and tends to produce less personal insight in comparison to orally active psychedelics such as ayahuasca, LSD and psilocybin due to its short-acting nature.
Spontaneous bodily sensations - The "body high" of DMT can be described as a pleasurable all-encompassing glow. It maintains a consistent presence that quickly rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached. It is capable of becoming very powerful at higher doses and can remain for up to half an hour after the experience itself has ended.
Physical euphoria - It should be noted that this effect is not as reliably produced as it is with substances like stimulants or entactogens, and can just as easily manifest as physical discomfort for no apparent reason.
Changes in felt gravity - At higher breakthrough doses, physical feelings of being launched across vast distances at incredibly high speeds are commonly reported.[21]
Spatial disorientation[13]
Changes in felt bodily form[13]
Physical autonomy
Nausea - This effect is much less common than it is with 5-MeO-DMT as well as longer-lasting psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms or mescaline. However, it can still manifest spontaneously and sometimes lead to sudden bouts of vomiting.
Pupil dilation[13]
Increased heart rate[13]
Seizure - This is a very rare effect but is believed to happen in those who are predisposed to them, especially while in physically taxing conditions such as being dehydrated, fatigued or undernourished.
Drifting (melting, breathing, morphing and flowing) - In comparison to other psychedelics, this effect can be described as highly detailed, slow and smooth in motion and static in its appearance.
Colour replacement
The visual geometry encountered can be described as more similar in appearance to that of psilocin than LSD. It can be comprehensively described through its variations as intricate in complexity, abstract in form, equally organic and digital in feel, structured in organization, brightly lit, multicoloured in scheme, glossy in shading, equal in sharp and soft edges, large in size, fast in speed, smooth in motion, equal in rounded and angular corners, immersive in depth and consistent in its intensity. At higher doses, it is significantly more likely to result in states of level 8B visual geometry over level 8A.
The geometry present with smokeable DMT is considered by many to be the most profoundly intricate and complex set of visual geometry found within the entirety of the psychedelic experience. In comparison to orally active DMT (ayahuasca), it is significantly more digital in appearance and contains a colour scheme which is similar to LSD and a structured style that resembles a high dose of psilocin (4-HO-DMT).
DMT produces a full range of high level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is more consistent and reproducible than that of any other commonly used psychedelic. These effects include:
Machinescapes
Internal hallucination (autonomous entities; settings, sceneries, and landscapes; perspective hallucinations and scenarios and plots) - DMT produces high level internal hallucinations at appropriate doses more consistently than that of any other psychedelic. They are more common within dark environments and can be comprehensively described through their variations as lucid in believability, interactive in style, new experiences in content, autonomous in controllability, geometry-based in style and almost exclusively of a personal, religious, spiritual, science-fiction, fantasy, surreal, nonsensical or transcendental nature in their overall theme.
Ego replacement
Feelings of impending doom[13]
Increased music appreciation - This typically occurs only at lower sub-breakthrough doses, and is not as prominent of an effect as it is with longer lasting psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin. Many people prefer to have their DMT experiences in complete silence, other than shutting out perceptual distractions this is often done to prevent a muddled or overwhelming experience.
Mindfulness - This effect tends to occur after the experience has ended and the individual has returned to ordinary waking consciousness, to a sense of presence and sensitivity towards one's inner sensations as well as outer environment.
Multiple thought streams - This effect tends to manifest in a much more chaotic fashion, in tandem with the sensation of cognitive overload.
Rejuvenation - This effect tends to occur after the experience has ended and the subject has returned to ordinary waking consciousness, often in Near-Death Experience (NDE) variants of a DMT experience.
Autonomous voice communication
Time distortion - This effect is a very prominent aspect of the DMT experience, which only tends to last under 15 minutes but is commonly reported to subjectively feel as if it had lasted much longer, in some cases "many lifetimes" or even an "eternity". This particular effect is most prevalent and notable with "breakthrough" experiences.[13]
Enhancements - Enhancements of one's auditory acuity, often following the end of the experience, have been reported in clinical studies with intravenously-administered DMT.[13]
Distortions[13]
For a number of individuals these effects are consistently more reproducible and powerful with smoked or vaporized DMT than they are with other "classical psychedelics" such as LSD or mescaline, this is most likely due to its very intense but relatively short-lived effects. These components are unique to DMT in that for a majority of its users they are significantly more likely to manifest during "breakthrough" experiences as opposed to sub-breakthrough level experiences.
Perception of eternalism
Perception of self-design
Perceived exposure to inner mechanics of consciousness
Progressive stages
When smoked or vaporized at moderate to heavy dosages, the DMT experience consistently manifests itself in a progressive sequence which can be described as follows:
1. "Breaking Through"
The first step of a DMT trip is the come up that leads onto an experience commonly referred to as "breaking through."[22] This seems to have at least a few different ways of presenting itself to the user.
The first thing that a person notices is an extremely distinct set of visual enhancements such an increase in visual acuity and colour intensity. This is followed by a sudden onset of high level 3 geometry which increases in its intensity until it envelopes and covers the external environment. These effects are often accompanied by auditory hallucinations such as soft crackling sounds or high pitched extended tones. There is also the possibility of accompanying physical sensations as one "breaks through." These can include feelings of suddenly being pushed through and onto the other side of a membrane or feelings of shooting through space at high speeds.
2. "The Waiting Room"
Almost immediately after a person has inhaled enough DMT to have "broken through", they often find themselves spending a brief amount of time in what is sometimes described as a psychedelic "waiting room" or "loading screen." The appearance of this space can assume a seemingly infinite variety of forms but generally appears in the shape of an enveloping tunnel comprised of rapidly shifting, interlocking geometry. This lasts approximately 10 – 20 seconds and feels qualitatively different from other stages of the experience.
3. "The Other Side"
Once the waiting period is over, the user will feel that they have "broken through" onto the other side. It is here where users experience intense level 7 geometry and level 3 - 4 internal hallucinations. It is worth noting that although experiences vary between individuals, DMT trips often follow common archetypes, scenarios, content, and plots. These scenarios generally consist of visiting what appears to be an alternate reality that is often described to contain autonomous entities, settings, sceneries, and landscapes as well as themes of a cosmic, transcendental, or transpersonal nature.
4. "Drifting Down"
The final stage is experienced as the sensation of being pulled further and further away from the scenario until it is no longer visible and one finds themselves back in reality. This is typically accompanied by level 3 - 4 geometry as well as a sense of general exhilaration and awe. The moderate to mild geometry stays for a further 10 – 15 minutes before disappearing completely, sometimes leaving a noticeable "body high" that lingers for up to an hour.

Mimosa hostilis root bark
Further information: Mimosa tenuiflora (botany)
Mimosa hostilis root bark.
Mimosa hostilis (also known as Mimosa tenuiflora, Jurema and Tepezcohuite) is a perennial tree or shrub native to the northeastern region of Brazil and is found as far north as southern Mexico. Around 1% of the dried weight is DMT. It is legal to purchase online in many parts of the world and a commonly used source for performing DMT extractions or brewing into ayahuasca.
Acacia confusa root bark.
Acacia confusa root bark
Further information: Psychoactive acacias
Acacia confusa (also known as Acacia Petit Feuille, Small Philippine Acacia, Formosa Acacia (Taiwan Acacia) and Formosan Koa) is a perennial tree native to South-East Asia. It is legal to purchase online and easily accessible in many parts of the world. The plant matter itself contains the following chemicals:[23]
N-Methyltryptamine: 1.43% (not psychoactive without MAOI)
DMT: 1.15%
Preparation methods
Preparation methods for this substance found within our tutorial index include:
DMT extraction using sodium hydroxide and naphtha
Acid-base DMT extraction, based on Marsofold's tek
D-Limonene and vinegar DMT extraction
Norman Tek
DMT ingestion methods
Dr. Rick Strassman has hypothesized that the pineal gland is responsible for the production and release of DMT which he believes possibly could be excreted in large quantities at the moments of birth and death.[13] However, this view was contested by David E. Nichols in 2018, who argued that the pineal gland secretes insufficient amounts of DMT to produce psychoactive effects.[24] In 2019, a study by Jimo Borjigin demonstrated in rat brains that brain neurons with the two enzymes required to make DMT were not just in the pineal gland but also in the neocortex and hippocampus.[25]
In 2018, a study demonstrated neuroplasticity induced by DMT and other psychedelics through TrkB, mTOR, and 5-HT2A signaling.[26]
Further information: Responsible use § Hallucinogens
DMT is considered to be non-addictive, is not associated with any form of neurotoxicity, and has an extremely low toxicity relative to dose. As with other psychedelic substances, there are relatively few physical side effects associated with acute DMT exposure. Various studies have shown that in reasonable doses in a careful context, it has little to no negative cognitive, psychiatric or physical consequences.[13]
However, as with psychedelics generally, DMT is thought to be able to act as a potential trigger for those with underlying psychiatric conditions. Those with a personal or family history of mental illness are advised not to use this substance unless under medical supervision.
Despite the lack of physical risks, it is highly advised to approach this substance with extreme caution and harm reduction practices.
Lethal dosage
The median lethal dose (LD50) of DMT in humans has never been reached in any setting, nor is this expected to change due to its pharmacological properties.
Like other serotonergic psychedelics, DMT is considered to be non-addictive with a low abuse potential.[13] There are no literature reports of successful attempts to train animals to self-administer DMT — an animal model predictive of abuse liability — indicating that it does not have the necessary pharmacology to either initiate or maintain dependence.[27] Likewise, there is virtually no withdrawal syndrome when chronic use of DMT is stopped.[citation needed]
Notably, tolerance to the effects of DMT does not appear to occur. The reason for this is unknown. Likewise, DMT does not produce cross-tolerance with other psychedelics, meaning that after the consumption of DMT psychedelics will not have a reduced effect.
Cannabis - Cannabis has an unexpectedly strong and somewhat unpredictable synergy with psychedelics. It strongly intensifies the sensory and cognitive effects of DMT. Extreme caution is advised when using this combination as it can significantly increase the chances of a negative psychological reaction like anxiety, confusion and psychosis. Users are advised to start off with only a fraction of their usual cannabis dose and take long breaks between hits to avoid over intake.
Amphetamines & Cocaine - Stimulants increase anxiety levels and the risk of thought loops which can lead to negative experiences.
Tramadol - Tramadol is well known to lower seizure threshold and psychedelics also cause occasional seizures.

Internationally, DMT is classified as a Schedule I drug under the United Nations 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, meaning that international trade in DMT is supposed to be closely monitored and its use is supposed to be restricted to scientific research and medical use. Natural materials containing DMT, including ayahuasca, are not regulated under the 1971 Psychotropic Convention.[28][29]
Australia: Between 2011 and 2012, the Australian government was considering changes to the Australian Criminal Code that would classify any plants containing any amount of DMT as "controlled plants".[30]
Austria: DMT is illegal to possess, produce and sell under the SMG (Suchtmittelgesetz Österreich).[citation needed]
Brazil: DMT is illegal to possess, produce and sell under Portaria SVS/MS nº 344.[31] Rules are relaxed regarding religious use.[citation needed]
Canada: DMT is a Schedule III drug.[32]
Denmark: DMT is a Category B drug.[33]
Estonia: DMT is a Schedule I drug.[citation needed]
Germany: DMT is controlled under Anlage I BtMG (Narcotics Act, Schedule I) as of January 24, 1974.[34][35] It is illegal to manufacture, possess, import, export, buy, sell, procure or dispense it without a license.[36]
Hungary: DMT is illegal to possess, produce and sell.[37]
Latvia: DMT is a Schedule I drug.[38]
New Zealand: DMT is classified in New Zealand as a Class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975.[39]
Norway: DMT is a Schedule I drug.[citation needed]
Russia: DMT is illegal to possess, produce and sell.[citation needed]
United Kingdom: DMT is a Class A drug.[40]
United States: DMT is a Schedule I drug.[citation needed] Rules are relaxed regarding religious use, however. In the US, dried root bark of Mimosa hostilis had been considered a "grey area" item for a long time. However, recent efforts by the DEA appear to be focusing on eliminating internet sales of the bark, citing 21 USC § 841, which states that "(IV) any compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of any of the substances referred to in subclauses (I) through (III)" is also considered an illegal substance. Many USA based vendors have since been stocking Acacia confusa bark as a result due to its very similar alkaloid content.[citation needed]

How long can umbilical cord blood be preserved for?
Umbilical cord blood can (theoretically) be stored indefinitely if it is correctly stored in liquid nitrogen at negative 196Degree C. At this temperature, if left undisturbed, will alow most organic cells survive unchanged indefinitely. Although more research into umbilical cord blood preservation along with time will only be the true evidence of how long umbilical cord blood can be preserved for.


The whole ground floor was transformed into a model railway entusiasts dream with over 40 layouts, stalls and info stalls.
There was treats for all the family too with pick and mix stalls, tombolas and games – while the ever popular Thomas the Tank Engine cropped up on many of the stalls. Exhibitiors and attendees had traveled in from all over the UK.

HDGC Clinical Guideline Update Workshop: 2014
by Karen Chelcun Schreiber | Aug 13, 2018 | HDGC Clinical Guidelines | 0 comments
IGCLC HDGC Clinical Guidelines Update Workshop: 2014 Nijmegen, The Netherlands
From March 19-21, 2014 I had the pleasure of participating in the 2nd Consensus meeting on Hereditary Gastric Cancer at the Radbound University Medical Centre in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. It was an honor to be invited to chair the newly formed Patient and Dietician workshop group to present and discuss a patient viewpoint on how effective the current guidelines are, and what outstanding issues remain to be addressed in research and clinical management. The addition of the Patient and Dietician group was a significant step forward in identifying and addressing the many issues that impact the health and quality of life of HDGC patients and families world wide. One of the many things I learned through my workshop experience is that HDGC advocacy is critical in making meaningful forward progress for the patient community.
In attendance were 47 people representing stomach cancer research and medical professionals, including gastroenterologists, surgeons, geneticists, counselors, dietitians, and pathologists, along with a group of patient advocates. The group represented countries throughout the world, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Canada, Portugal, Switzerland, France, and the USA.
The group's goal while there was to make important updates and changes to the last consensus guideline for HDGC that was published in 2009. The specific group disciplines included gastroenterology, surgery, genetics & basic science, counseling and psychosocial aspects, and pathology. It was wonderful, from a patient advocacy perspective, to be representing the dietician and patient perspective for the first time in this workshop.
Personally, this was one of the most memorable experiences of my lifetime. I was excited to be able to contribute to the new updated guideline. Working side by side with so many of the scientists and researchers who had been helping me and my family, and supporting my HDGC advocacy work for the many years following my family diagnosis was a joyous experience. The entire work group was full of amazing people: brilliant, caring, compassionate, and fun people who are committed to their work focused on HDGC in their particular discipline. And, they value the patient perspective. It was very clear that the patient voice is a strong voice.
As an advocate for the HDGC patient community, what was most rewarding was the contribution that I could bring to many of the various discipline areas, not only the Dietician and Patient group. This was a result of the input and feedback that I have accumulated from many years of working with so many patients and families spanning the globe. A few examples: updated criteria for genetic testing, inclusion and acknowledgment that prenatal diagnosis (PND) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) are options, a section about post-gastrectomy symptoms and treatment options, a supplemental endoscopy protocol for patients to share with the GI doctors who are not familiar with HDGC, and more. I learned a lot too, and was fascinated with the way our cultural differences impact health care treatments and guidelines.
The workshop spanned three days. Much to my surprise it took about a year from the actual workshop to the completion and publication of the updated guideline. The workshop itself was a tremendously productive start, but there was still a lot of work to be done. Further discussion, debate, drafts, revisions, confirmed consensus of all contributors, and finally publication. It felt like a long wait, but totally worth it!
I'm excited and already preparing for the next HDGC Guideline update workshop in March 2019. Can't wait!
I'll say it again. Without a doubt, this experience reinforced my notion that the patient advocacy voice is a strong voice. I encourage everyone in the HDGC community to Make Your Voice Heard!

Q: Add formula to a cell VBA I'm basically trying to programmatically add formulas to some cells of an excel worksheet, using the following code :
'Ajout des formules de calcul de TD LABO
 For i = 20 To 22
    'Formule : TD=(2/3)*C2H6+C3H8+(4/3)*(i-C4H10+n-C4H10)
    newWorkBook.Worksheets("Feuil1").Cells(i, 16).Formula = (2 / 3) * Cells(i, 11) + Cells(i, 14) + (4 / 3) * (Cells(i, 6) + Cells(i, 7))
    'Calcul avec une décimale
    newWorkBook.Worksheets("Feuil1").Cells(i, 16).NumberFormat = "0.0"
 Next i

The problem is that the values of the cells were I added the formula don't change when I change the value of the cells used in the formulas' calculus.

A: You're not adding a formula, you're calculating a value and putting that in the cell. You need to use:
 For i = 20 To 22
    'Formule : TD=(2/3)*C2H6+C3H8+(4/3)*(i-C4H10+n-C4H10)
    newWorkBook.Worksheets("Feuil1").Cells(i, 16).FormulaR1C1 = "=(2/3)*RC11 +RC14+(4/3)*(RC6+RC7)"
    'Calcul avec une décimale
    newWorkBook.Worksheets("Feuil1").Cells(i, 16).NumberFormat = "0.0"
 Next i

or without looping:
'Formule : TD=(2/3)*C2H6+C3H8+(4/3)*(i-C4H10+n-C4H10)
With newWorkBook.Worksheets("Feuil1").Cells(22, 16).Resize(2)
    .FormulaR1C1 = "=(2/3)*RC11 +RC14+(4/3)*(RC6+RC7)"
    'Calcul avec une décimale
    .NumberFormat = "0.0"
End With

A: Try This,
    Sub fmula()
        For i = 20 To 22
            Range("P" & i).Formula = "= (2/3)*(K" & i & ")+(4/3)*((F" & i & ")+(G" & i & "))"
        Next
    End Sub

Corner cupboard for is going to be among the smart ideas in regards to conserve space. The table is a location whenever folks invest their time to wash the human body or just relaxing after long day of effort. In most cases, table is always to be the previous room to take into account.

However, while you will need to put away something in the table, another problem will show up such as insufficient space, even you cannot set a shelf within it.

The One That Got Away: The Trials and Tribulations of Building an Ancient Coin Exhibit
Michael Shutterly
By Michael T. Shutterly for CoinWeek …..
Virtually every collector has experienced "the one that got away".
This usually involves a coin from your Wish List that someone else snapped up. Sometimes because they saw it first and grabbed it before you could. Sometimes because they snuck in a last-second overbid at an online auction. And sometimes just because they were willing to pay more for the coin than you thought was reasonable or affordable.
But some of us have experienced the greater tragedy of having that Wish List coin IN HAND, only to have it slip away.
There are many words to describe that experience. This article will only include words that the editor will allow in print.
I put on my first numismatic exhibit at the ANA World's Fair of Money in Chicago in 2015. I was pleased with the results; Sacred Images won the awards for "Best Exhibit by a First Time Exhibitor" and "First Place – Coins Before 1500."
At the ANA Awards Banquet, I found myself seated next to Larry Sekulich, who told me that he did not think that I had put on a good exhibit – he said that I had put on at least three good exhibits. My exhibit included 61 different coins covering a wide array of sub-topics, and Larry suggested that I should consider bringing more focus to my presentations.
I figured that Larry probably knew what he was talking about. Not only had he won that year's "Howland Wood Memorial Award for Best-of-Show Exhibit" (his third win of that award), but he is also the instructor for the ANA's Summer Seminar class "Creating a Winning Numismatic Exhibit".
I attended Larry's class at Summer Seminar in 2016 and built two new exhibits for the 2016 ANA World's Fair of Money based upon what Larry taught me. I based Heavenly Gold on one of the sub-topics of my 2015 Sacred Images exhibit, and built In the Beginning from scratch. Both exhibits were more focused than Sacred Images had been.
The Exhibit is Formed… Until One Got Away
In the Beginning examined the very earliest coins. Following Larry's advice to focus on my topic, I designed the exhibit using just six coins. The first was an electrum hemihekte (1/12 stater), with a plain globular surface – little more than a blob of electrum with a blank obverse.
The second was a slightly later electrum hemihekte, but its obverse presented a flattened striated surface – a very rudimentary "design".
The third was an electrum tetartemorion (1/48 stater) of Phanes, representing the first coins to bear an inscription (although the tetartemorion itself was too small to have an inscription).
The fourth was an electrum Lydian trite (1/3 stater), whose obverse displayed the roaring lion of Lydia, representing the first coins to bear the emblem of the king who struck them.
The fifth coin was a silver Stater of the Lydian king Kroisos, representing the first silver coins ever minted, and the sixth was a gold myshemihekte of Kroisos, representing the first gold coins ever minted.
Electrum Hemihekte. Globular Surface. Ionia. c. 625 BCE. 7.7 mm, 1.16 gm
Electrum Hemihekte. Striated Surface. Ionia. c. 625 BCE. 6 mm, 1.4 gm
Electrum Tetartemorion. Ephesos. Phanes. c. 625/600 – 550 BCE. 5.5 mm, .29 gm
AR Stater. Kroisos, c. 550 BCE. Sardes Mint. 16×18.5 mm, 10.69 gm.
AV Myshemihekte. Kroisos, c. 550 BCE. Sardes Mint. 6 mm, .66 gm.
All of these coins are quite small. The Phanes tetartemorion, both of the hemihektes, and the myshemihekte are each less than half the diameter of the smallest U.S. coin, the silver trime. The trite is slightly smaller than a trime, and the stater – the largest coin of its time – is roughly the size of a Roosevelt dime. I decided to include photographs of each coin so that viewers (and exhibit judges) could see them clearly.
That is when I learned that coin photography requires a very specialized skill, and while I did have the proper equipment, I did not have the proper skills for numismatic photography (I have since taken both of the ANA Summer Seminar classes in numismatic photography). Back then I worked on a trial-and-error basis, taking dozens and dozens (and dozens!) of shots, in different locations under different lighting conditions, in an attempt to get one usable photo. For each coin.
I saved the smallest coin, the Phanes tetartemorion, for last. Unable to get a usable shot after an hour or so's worth of attempts, I put the coin aside. I planned to take some more pictures the following day when I would be fresh and ready to go.
The coin wasn't in its flip, nor was it in the flip of any of the other coins. It wasn't loose in the box in which I was holding the coins. It wasn't on the camera stand. It wasn't in the carpet of the room in which I had attempted to photograph it the night before – I literally used a fine-toothed comb over that carpet and turned up many interesting items, but not a single tetartemorion. I vacuumed the carpet and then sifted through the dust in the bag. I found some interesting items, but no tetartemorion. That coin was nowhere to be found – it did indeed get away.
I was vexed, quite vexed. This coin was irreplaceable; not only is the tetartemorion a very rare denomination within the Phanes series, but my coin was one of just two known examples of its specific type (and I never found out who owned the other one). Adding to my vexation was the fact that the World's Fair of Money was less than two weeks away.
What to do, what to do…
Since I could not obtain a replacement tetartemorion, I decided to revamp the exhibit using two other coins: an electrum myshemihekte with a Mill Sail pattern obverse would demonstrate a more deliberate obverse design, and an electrum hemihekte with a Bridled Horse obverse would demonstrate a highly-detailed, but still anonymous obverse design.
Electrum Myshemihekte. Mill Sail Pattern. Ionia. c. 625-600 BCE. 6 mm, .62 gm
Electrum Hemihekte. Bridled Horse. Ionia. c. 625-600 BCE. 11 mm, 1.18 gm
I also rewrote the entire narrative to avoid any mention of coin inscriptions, while focusing on the development of coin design. I completed the work just in time to place both exhibits at the World's Fair of Money. And held my breath.
It turned out rather well. Heavenly Gold took "First Place – Gold Coins", won a special award for "Best Exhibit of Coins That Made History", and finished as "First Runner-Up for Best-of-Show". And In the Beginning? It managed to take "First Place – Coins Before 1500" and came away with the "Howland Wood Memorial Award for Best-of-Show Exhibit".
But I still want my Phanes tetartemorion…

They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household."
Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him." Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. " "How can someone be born when they are old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin- because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body-whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free-and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

Are the forces that led many well-meaning people to support the eugenics movement in the first half of the 20th century the same as those that lead many today to trumpet the promises of genetic engineering? Read what Harry Bruinius, author of Better For All The World: The Secret History of Forced Sterilization and America's Quest for Racial Purity has to say on the subject.
How did you get access to the letters, diaries, and public records you did while researching Better For all the World, and where did that research lead you?
The research trail for the American eugenics movement led me to a number of archives around the country. The primary repository of documents, photos, and other material is located at the American Philosophical Society Library in Philadelphia. Most all of the papers of Charles Davenport and the Eugenics Record Office, the loci of my story, are housed here. At the Pickler Memorial Library at Truman State University in Missouri, the papers of my other main character, Harry Laughlin, remain available to researchers. Another important repository can be found at the California Institute of Technology Archives in Pasadena, which includes the papers of the Human Betterment Society.
But one of the most exciting collections turned out to be the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Archives in New York, where I found a treasure trove of untapped sources on the family life of Charles Davenport, including the diaries of his father and mother. I corrected a long-established misunderstanding of Davenport, which maintained that he had been beset by "conflicting ...

Please contact me if you would like to learn more about mindfulness therapy and training for working with aerophobia or any other phobia that you may have. Most people can expect to see significant improvement after 3-4 Skype therapy sessions with me.
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in online mindfulness therapy, which I offer for help with anxiety, panic attacks, depression and many other common emotional psychological problems.
I'm very frequently asked to help people with a driving anxiety, and also the principles that I've developed for working with driving anxiety also work extremely well for fear of flying or aerophobia.
The main concepts behind mindfulness therapy and what makes it so effective for overcoming fear of flying or any other fear for that matter is the way that it teaches you how to take charge of your emotions and your thoughts, the two main reactive runaway processes that cause anxiety and depression and many other emotional psychological problems.
So, typically if you have a fear of flying and you seek help from me, what we would do is set up a series of meditations, essentially rehearsal meditations before your next flight, where you would imagine, in great detail going to the airport and going through the lines in the airports, boarding the plane, being in the plane, taking off, being in the air, and all the other factors involved in flying, before you eventually land at your destination. So we would rehearse this in the mind. This is a key ingredient of good mindfulness therapy for fear of flying.
You rehearse and you rehearse and you rehearse by meditating on that scenario and then watching very carefully for any fear reactions and thought reactions that arise.
The secret is to see these fear reactions and thought reactions very clearly and respond to them with a very clear, focused, mindful relationship, as opposed to the usual condition whereby we simply become totally identified with our fear or thoughts and we become consumed by them and are overwhelmed by them.
When you can establish a mindful relationship with your emotions and thoughts they cease to have power over you. This is a secret ingredient, if you like, of the mindfulness training that I offer.
You can learn how to sit with your fear and with fear-based thoughts without becoming consumed by them and without feeding them, essentially. So that's the rehearsal phase. You learn how to change our relationship to our emotions and to our thoughts.
The second phase is putting this into action during the flight, and that we would practice what we have rehearsed in great detail starting from the moment that you arrive at the airport going through the whole process of boarding the plane and staying conscious, staying mindful, attentive, watching for any fear reactions that arise. But because of your training that you have done through your rehearsal meditations you now stand a much better chance of diffusing those reactions that might get triggered in the live situation.
On the plane we cultivate the mindfulness even more and essentially establish a relationship with your fear or thoughts in the same way that a parent would establish a relationship with their child. The child might be equally afraid or confused or fearful and agitated just like your emotions and thoughts are, and a good parent will learn to comfort the child by being very still and non-reactive and by being very compassionate towards them. This compassionate relationship is absolutely fundamental to mindfulness. We establish a compassionate friendly relationship with our fear. That is what the fear actually needs to resolve itself.
So this we practice during the flight when if fear arises we are treated like a child. We go to it with compassion and non reactivity, and we might even imagine it being like a child and since the fear down beside you like a child. That process of moving the position of the anxiety where you see it in the mind or body and moving it to a different position is a very, very powerful technique.
So that's what we do during the flight and then after the flights you would do another meditation, a post-meditation, where you would run through your actual experiences and any fear that arose, or any thoughts or beliefs that arose, during the flight and you would essentially train with those, helping them dissipate, helping them resolve themselves, again by being like a parent to your emotions. So that way you learn from the recent experience of flying.
And then we repeat this over and over again. Each time we develop more and more confidence, more and more freedom from our fear of flying. This mindfulness-based approach works extremely well for driving anxiety and it also can be applied equally effectively for overcoming fear of flying. If you would like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy for aerophobia do please send me an email and we can talk about this in more detail. And when you feel ready we can schedule some mindfulness therapy sessions over Skype and I will teach you all that you need to do this yourself to basically overcome your fear of flying.
So please, simply send me an email and we can schedule some Skype Therapy sessions. Thank you.
One technique that I teach is called the mindfulness-based expansion response, which you should practice before as well as during the flight.
Basically, when you experience a panic attack, you undergo a psychological-emotional contraction – you become very small in your mind's eye. This contraction is a necessary part of the fear reaction. If you can prevent this psychological contraction you will inhibit the fear reaction.
The objective is to counter this emotional reaction by imagining yourself becoming as big as possible – bigger than the plane itself or some such variant that works for you. Practice before the flight to find what works best.
Try this for yourself and share your findings if it works for you.
