UC Berkeley Sociology Professor Martín Sánchez-Jankowski has devoted his career to studying the very thing he once tried to escape—poverty.
Born to indigenous and mestizo migrant laborers in Sonoro, Mexico, Sánchez-Jankowski moved to Michigan with his family when he was a child.
"Obviously when you live in (poverty), you want to get out of it," he said, but added that he knew his background would inform his professional and scholarly direction in the future.
Sánchez-Jankowski is the author of the recent UC Press title Cracks in the Pavement: Social Change and Resilience in Poor Neighborhoods, about urban poverty in Los Angeles and New York.
Sánchez-Jankowski spent extended periods of time living in the neighborhoods he studied over the course of nearly a decade.
UC Press Executive Editor Naomi Schneider said the book "gives a whole different portrait" of urban neighborhoods by looking at community institutions that work, like barbershops and beauty salons, as opposed to examining what makes urban neighborhoods dysfunctional.
"(It's) a corrective to the way we see urban ghettos," she explained.
Cracks in the Pavement is one of a dozen UC Press books that have won the prestigious C. Wright Mills Award. UC Press has been honored with the award seven times in the past 10 years, and 12 times overall since the award was instated in 1964.
The 2007 recipient was UC Press title Brewing Justice, by Daniel Jaffee, which analyzes the fair trade industry through the lens of Mexican coffee farmers.
The award is named after sociologist C. Wright Mills, a social and political activist known for revolutionizing American sociology during the 1950s.
Schneider, who has sponsored eight winning titles, attributes the continual recognition to the progressive nature of the UC Press sociology list.
"(Winning books) often look at the disenfranchised and they try to give voice to people who are ignored in our society," she said.
While Sánchez-Jankowski says he was influenced by the namesake of his recent award, particularly by Mills' book The Sociological Imagination, he said he felt a stronger connection to political scientist Harold Lasswell.
When Sánchez-Jankowski was in graduate school, Lasswell took him out to lunch and asked him about his plans for the future. He encouraged Sanchez-Jankowski to plan out his research following his dissertation, so that when the burgeoning sociologist grew old, he would be able to sit down and write a book about all that he had learned.
Sánchez-Jankowski is still following that plan, currently studying rural poverty in the same way he studied urban poverty—by living among those who experience it. He will be spending the next several years hopping back and forth between Fijian indigenous communities and Native American reservations in Arizona and South Dakota.
Like the work of C. Wright Mills, Sánchez-Jankowski's research is influential in both the academic and public realms. For example, a book he wrote about gangs is used by both prosecutors and defense attorneys.

Injured Victims, Beware! Protect Your Legal Rights Before You Sign Anything
Individual Legal Resources
This past week, I met with a young man who was recently injured on the job. He worked at a valve shop and was directed by his employer to burn materials in the shop. However, this young man was not given the proper equipment, training, or instructions by his employer. Consequently, the worker was badly burned, spent several months in the intensive care burn unit, had multiple skin grafts, and is now terribly scarred. After meeting with this young man and his fiancé for nearly an hour, and after hearing the full details of the incident and the subsequent treatment, I discovered something in the materials that changed the entire meeting.
The gentleman had brought with him a folder that contained all the medical records and billing records from the burn treatment, as well as photographs showing the progression of the wounds. Contained within that same folder was a document that was prepared by his employer; this document immediately caught my attention. Upon further review, this document was release and settlement agreement that the employer prepared, and that the potential client had signed. Indeed, although the burned worker had over $100,000 in unpaid medical bills related to the incident, the worker had agreed to settle any claims that he may have been able to bring against his employer for substantially less than even the amount of the outstanding medical bills.
This particular worker's employer was not a subscriber to workers' compensation insurance; thus, this employer had forfeited many of the legal defenses available to defendants in Texas law suits because the employer did not provide its employees with benefits in the event of an injury on the job. This particular worker would likely have been successful in a claim against his former employer for negligence. Such a victory would have allowed the jury to assess the proper amount of damages for past medical bills, in addition to damages associated with the terrible pain and suffering associated with third-degree burns, the physical disfigurement, and the lost wages that resulted from the worker's time in the hospital. However, this particular worker has settled his potential case and released his former employer of all liability for substantially less than even the amount of outstanding medical bills. To make matters worse, this particular worker had signed several release agreements, all of which were witnessed and notarized. When I asked why the worker signed the release and settlement agreements, the worker simply said that he needed the money to continue living and making rent.
Because the worker had already settled his case, there was nothing that I could do for the worker. The facts did not indicate that any other entity or person was responsible for the incident, other than the former employer. Given that the worker had already settled any potential causes of action against the former employer, there was no way to file a successful suit against the former employer. The lesson to be learned is simple. If you are injured due to the actions or omissions of another, seek legal counsel prior to making any decisions or signing anything. Most personal injury attorneys will offer free consultations and will discuss the legal issues that may be hidden under the surface. The lawyers at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Agosto, Aziz & Stogner offer such free consultations. Indeed, had this particular worker come to us directly, without signing any legal documents, I would have taken this case and pursued a case against the former employer for all damages caused by the incident. I hope this tale is a lesson to all who may read it. Protect your rights! Consult a personal injury lawyer prior to signing or saying anything.

Yokohl Ranch encompasses approximately 36,000 acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills, within the unincorporated area of Tulare County. Due to its rocky soils and shallow soil depths, the property is not suitable for high quality orchard, row crop or other intensive agricultural uses. Instead, the property has historically been used for cattle grazing and ranching as well as ranch family housing and support facilities. Yokohl Ranch is envisioned to be a planned community of neighborhoods that features a variety of residential uses, a mixed-use Town Center, a neighborhood commercial center, a resort lodge enclave, recreational facilities, continued ranching operations, and extensive preservation of open space. Of the 36,000-acre property, approximately 82% of the land is envisioned to remain undeveloped as ranch land or open space. The community will be developed in three phases, with a build-out of 10,000 new homes.

French wine labels are the most strict and complex. However, they're also the most informationally useful for the consumer. The French wine labeling laws are legislated by the Institut National des Appellations d'Origine (INAO) and VINIFLHOR, part of the French Ministry of Agriculture. At first glance, they may seem hard to decipher, but with a simple basic understanding, they equip the consumer with the most beneficial information to help them make an educated selection.
AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protegée and formerlyknown as AOC) is the most regulated category- warranting the highest quality wines.
IGP (Indication Geographique Protégée) or VDP (Vin de Pays) is less regulated- mostly easing restrictions on approved grape varieties, but also yields and minimum alcohol percentage. Unlike AOP, IGP could include hybrids of Vitis Vinifera varieties. Irrigation is also not permitted for AOP and IGP wines.
VIN DE FRANCE is the latest (first introduced in 2010) and most basic regional quality for French wines. The grapes can originate from anywhere in France and different regions can be blended. Vin de France are often labeled by grape variety and most importantly can indicate a vintage. Acidification and use of oak chips are allowed for this level. This category was created to compete against the much less regulated wines from the new world.
VIN DE LA COMMUNAUTEE EUROPEENNE (European Wine). In this category, the grapes need to originate in one of the European Union member countries. Mention of vintage is not allowed.
Two words that often appear on French wine labels are Domaine and Château. These are legal terms, referring to ownership of the vineyards. For a wine to be labeled as Domaine, 100 percent of the grapes have to come from this domain's own vineyards. Winemakers may not purchase grapes from other growers. If that happens, the wine will lose the right to mention 'Domaine' on the label. Château requires that the vinification, aging and bottling is done on the premises. Most domains vinify, age and bottle on the premises as well.
In almost all cases, domain wines will be higher quality than wines from wine cooperatives, which are generally higher quality than négociant wine brands from purchased fruit. 'Domaine' designated wines should be the priority choice when shopping for wine.
The word Reserve is rarely seen and has no legal or any significance on French wine labels. In fact, there is no certainty or guarantee the wine is of higher quality. To the contrary, it would indicate a cheap négociant, probably designated for export.
All French Appellation wines, including the Vin De France wines, can and do mention the vintage (year of harvest) on the label. The only exceptions are the non-vintage Champagnes, which are a blend of base wines from several vintages. It is close to impossible to find a French wine without mention of vintage, but in the improbable case that you do, don't buy that bottle. French wines represent some of the best values on the wine market today. With the exception of some high-end cuvées Champagne, First Growth Bordeaux and Grand Crus Burgundies, which are subject to limited supply and accrued demand on the world market - most of the French wines in the $10 to $30 price range have not seen much of a price change in the last couple of decades. Their quality, however, has remained high or even improved. For that reason, we find some of the best values in quality wine today in the Rhône Valley (Côtes du Rhône Villages, Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, Rasteau, Crozes-Hermitage), regional red Burgundy and whites from Chablis and the Macônnais (Macôn-Villages, Pouilly-Fuissé), dry rosés from Corsica and everyday-useful whites from Gascony and the Loire Valley, and reds and whites from petits châteaux in Bordeaux.
The 2016 Domaine de Verquière Rasteau is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah grown on steep clay-limestone slopes and aged in barrels for 12 months. The wine exhibits deep ruby color, aromas and flavors of red and dark berries, field flowers and touch of spice and earthy notes. The firm, but well-rounded tannins are in perfect balance with the rich fruit. This full-bodied, but smooth and elegant wine, will pair well with multitude of dishes, including grilled and stewed meats, duck, roasted lamb, but also mixed salads and aged cheeses.
The 2017 Domaine Gueguen Chablis exhibits pale gold color and complex aromas and flavors of citrus, green apple, star-fruit and white flowers; richness and freshness are in perfect balance on the palate, and the finish is an incredible 30+ seconds.
Enjoy it as aperitif with light appetizers or with your favorite sea-food dishes, raw oysters, fish carpaccio, grilled shrimp, Safran-flavored scallops or even pork filet-mignon.

The Boards
The Rain in Spain
By Michael Schulman
Dear Etiquette Guy:
Sienna MillerIllustration by Tom Bachtell
Help! I just married a tycoon and suddenly I have a houseful of servants to supervise. I am often uncertain how to behave toward them. There's the maid, the groundskeeper, the wine steward—what's a modern lady of the house to do?
—Anxious in Aspen
Dear Anxious:
Thank you for your letter. This is a more common problem than you might expect. I refer you to the case of Sienna Miller, the star of "After Miss Julie," Patrick Marber's adaptation of the August Strindberg classic. Playing the title character—a young aristocrat who has an affair with her chauffeur, in the nineteen-forties—Miss Miller faced this very dilemma. So the Roundabout hired an etiquette coach: Frank Ventura, who has consulted on manners for "The Way of the World" (set in 1700), "The Constant Wife" (1926), and "Top Girls" (1982), and who is serving as Miss Miller's personal Emily Post.
"Etiquette is behavior between people that establishes a relationship," Mr. Ventura said recently, during a post-rehearsal discussion. "It sets the rules of the society." For example: when Miss Julie enters her servants' quarters, they know to drop everything and stand at attention. "Face her, maintain eye contact," Marin Ireland, who plays the cook, explained. Domestics must also maintain the proper proximity. Say the cook was lighting her lady's cigarette. "She would be striking the match away from her, so the flint wouldn't shoot at her," Mr. Ventura said. When pouring the lady a drink, the servant would turn his back, sparing her the sight of exertion. "More respectful, less familiar," Miss Miller, who was wearing studded suède boots, explained.
That covers the servants. But what about the lady? "She would have learned several languages," Mr. Ventura said. "She would have understood the history of the country. She would understand economics. She would have been prepared at any moment to sit at a banquet and have a conversation with the gentleman on either side of her."
Mr. Ventura offered a few simple ground rules: When ashing a cigarette, tap it lightly with your index finger. When approaching a chair, don't just plop yourself down: circle it first and lower yourself gracefully. You will be carrying a handkerchief—do not wipe your nose with it! Apply a fragrance and dab yourself lightly on the neck. While flirting with your chauffeur, it is permitted to flick the hankie gently in his face, but, in all other respects, use restraint. "My tendency is to bite things, which the character obviously wouldn't do," Miss Miller said.
Finally, there is the matter of posture. "Frank makes me walk around with a book on my head," Miss Miller said. Upon polite insistence, she agreed to a demonstration. Luckily, Mr. Ventura had a copy of "The Modern Gentleman" in his bag. ("How brilliant!" Miss Miller exclaimed. "Is that your porn?") She placed it on her head and paced the dressing room flawlessly.
"Bravo!" Mr. Ventura said.
Afterward, Mr. Ventura headed outside for some field work. At a Barnes & Noble café, he ordered an Earl Grey tea. The barista (courteous, but not great with eye contact) told him to look for sugar at the end of the bar. "See, now we have to self-serve," Mr. Ventura said. "Sometimes you don't see the rules of etiquette until they're broken." According to the social norms of Barnes & Noble, he pointed out, it is acceptable to loiter in the aisles for hours. Nearby, a girl was sitting on the floor working on her laptop, blocking the merchandise. "Excuse me?" Mr. Ventura said, hovering over her. "Totally unconscious!" he said, after she shifted a bit.
As for Miss Miller, her coach had one last piece of advice: "Your best friends are your dresser, the stagehand, and the follow-spot guy. Don't treat him like the follow-spot guy. You treat him like the most important guy in your life."

She blew us away with her angelic voice, but what is Leona Lewis' net worth and what has she been up to since her X Factor days?!
X Factor stars blaze into existence, yet as we know, many burn out without having had much success.
Then there's the ones who will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. We're thinking Emma Chawner…
Some, however – the lucky few – manage to keep burning bright long after their X Factor days are behind them.
It's these stars that we actually forget appeared on the show. After all, who can believe that the boyband pop sensation One Direction actually placed third on the singing contest?
Leona Lewis was one of the fortunate stars whose voice alone was enough to keep her in the limelight after she won the show all the way back in 2006 (yes, that is 13 years ago!).
What Is Leona Lewis' Net Worth?
Leona Lewis has a net worth of £19 million ($24 million dollars!).
Feeling glowy for @marieclairemag #MCChangemakers evening ✨ celebrating inclusion, representation, diversity & equality in film 👸🏽
A post shared by Leona Lewis 🌈🌈🌈 (@leonalewis) on Mar 12, 2019 at 11:21pm PDT
Source/Instagram
How Did She Get There?
Leona Louise Lewis was born and raised in Islington, London England by her Welsh mother and Guyanese father.
Having always had a passion for singing, Leona's parents ensured that their daughter could pursue her talent. They enrolled her at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, the Ravenscourt Theatre School and the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology.
Always been a daddy's girl 💕So grateful for the lessons you teach me each day. Love you beyond words✨
A post shared by Leona Lewis 🌈🌈🌈 (@leonalewis) on Jun 22, 2018 at 6:03am PDT
Although her parents were well-off, they have described how they made cutbacks to help their daughter achieve her dreams, paying until they could no longer afford it.
Leona wrote her first song when she was just 12 years old!
She Performed In The Lion King
Leona left the BRIT school at 17 to pursue her singing career. She began to write and record her own music, paid for by working as a receptionist and a Pizza Hut waitress.
At just 18, Leona gained a lead role in The Lion King in Paris but she was forced to withdraw after she injured her back ice skating.
The singer then went on to record a demo album called Twilight but she had no luck in gaining a record deal.
After having no luck trying to kickstart a career on her own, Leona thought it best to audition for the X Factor.
"I tried to secure a record deal by doing things my own way. I worked very hard but I never managed to land a contract. That's why I decided to audition for The X Factor. It's programmes like these which provide the best place to showcase fresh new talent."
2006: She Auditions For X Factor
Leona auditioned for the X Factor in 2006 with her emotional performance of Over The Rainbow.
Source/YouTube
Belting her way through the competition, she sang her heart out to songs by Whitney, Kelly Clarkson and Mariah Carey. Making her way to the final, to beat Ray Quinn with a whopping 60% of the vote, Leona won a record deal with Simon Cowell's label Syco Music.
Her winner's single was a cover of the Kelly Clarkson Song: 'A Moment Like This', breaking world records after it was digitally downloaded more than 50,000 times in less than 30 minutes! The song was Christmas number one AND spent four consecutive weeks at the number one spot in the charts.
Life After The Show
In 2007, Leona signed a £5 million contract with American record label J Records.
The record label's owner Clive Davis and Simon Cowell said that they would work together to create Leona's debut album 'Spirit'.

For any European artist, the real challenge is making it in America but Leona did just that. Adding two more tracks for the US release, she became the first British artist to reach number one with a debut album in the US.
On the album was the single 'Bleeding Love', which of course stayed at number one in the UK charts for seven weeks and became the biggest-selling single of 2007!
2014: From Stage To Screen
In 2013, it was announced that Leona would star in the 1980's inspired film/musical Walking on Sunshine.
She portrayed the role of Elena, a friend to the main character Taylor. The film received scathing reviews as Rotten Tomatoes:
"Crass and calculated — and a poor substitute for the jukebox musicals it attempts to emulate."
Still, if you're a fan of Mamma Mia or on a girl's weekend, it's definitely worth a watch.

2015: She Left Simon's Label To Sign With Universal Music's Island Records
Alongside the likes of Drake, Nikki Minaj and Jessie J, Leona signed to Universal Records.
The singer later revealed that she left Syco after 'several years' of consideration. She divulged that when she originally mentioned that she wanted to leave, she was threatened with the public being told that she had been dropped.
But further creative differences meant finally caused her to leave. she admitted:
"I was asked to make a record that would not have been true to myself. By all means as an artist in this climate, I was thankful to even get the chance to make another record. But I cannot make music that does not speak to my soul, and as scary as it seemed, I could no longer compromise myself, and so I decided to leave"
2016: She Made Her Broadway Debut
In March 2016, Leona headlines Cirque du Soleil's 'One Night got One Drop' performance in Las Vegas.
Turning to Broadway, Leona made her Broadway debut playing Grizabella in the Cats musical, although she left the role after just 4 months.

She later left Island Records because of 'something that didn't click'.
2018-Present:
Leona collaborated with Calum Scott on the song 'You Are The Reason' as well as Pitbull on a song for the film Gotti.
In 2019, the singer acted in the American TV series The Oath, a series about a world of gangs who seek to shed light on corrupt and secret societies.
Waiting for tonight ✨✨✨ 💄@lisastoreymakeup 💁🏽♀ @prestonwada 👗 @waymanandmicah
Her Activism
Leona has been a vegetarian since she was 12 years old, becoming vegan in 2012.
She was even voted PETA's sexiest vegetarian in 2008 (yes, that is a real award) became Europe's Sexiest Vegetarian in 2009. The singer is an advocate for World Animal Protection as well as a patron for the Hopefield Animal Sanctuary.
What Is Her Relationship Status?
Leona got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Dennis Jauch after eight years together!
My heart is singing the happiest song it's ever sung!🙏🏾✨💍 I'm bursting with joy and overcome with emotion that I get to embark on this new adventure with my best friend, my partner in crime, my ride or die! @dennisjauch I can't wait to be your wife 🙈 eeeek wife! What?! Argh! Hahahahaha I still can't believe it 👰🏽 I dreamed you up and you came true. The most caring, kindhearted and inspiring person I've had the privilege to know.💕💍✨💒 now lets go have a big ol' partyyyyyyyy 🎉💕 @people 📷 @mrmikerosenthal
A post shared by Leona Lewis 🌈🌈🌈 (@leonalewis) on Nov 28, 2018 at 7:07am PST
She teased the news on social media as she showed of her rock on holiday in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The lovebirds met in 2010 as he worked as a backing dancer on one of her tours.
Although the pair make sure their relationship is kept behind the scenes, Leona has spoken about how they make long-distance work.
"Before, I thought I wanted to be young and single, then once I was I realized it wasn't all it was cracked up to be,"
"We're together, but because we both travel so much we have to make a huge effort to see one another. If we are within an hour of each other one of us will jump on a plane to see the other. I think the most unexpected meeting place was in Romania."
We can't wait to see the wedding photographs!

Emergency Comms Survey Reveals Top Concerns for Public Sector Decision Makers
Republicans in Oregon Launch Recall Effort of Democratic Governor
A good reminder for state and local governments: Is your employee contact information up to date?
Law Enforcement Tech
After a difficult hurricane season, a multitude of flood events and ferocious wildfires in western states, it's probably not much of a surprise that severe and extreme weather are the types of events that concern public sector decision makers the most when it comes to their organization's emergency communications and response.
That's according to the recently released OnSolve Crisis Communications and Emergency Notification Survey, which found that 48 percent of public sector decision makers put severe and extreme weather events at the top of their worry list, followed by active shooting situations (23 percent); cybersecurity attacks (9 percent); IT outages (8 percent); and workplace violence (3 percent).
But digging into the survey results a little bit further, there are some interesting findings, especially for anyone who may need to contact their employees during an emergency situation and fears dialing phone numbers from a potentially outdated list.
Email is still the primary way to relay incident notification to workforces. Sixty-four percent of organizations reported using an email-based Emergency Mass Notification Service, while 36 percent use text messaging, 17 percent use desktop alerts and 9 percent used a mobile app.
Geographically dispersed workforces present challenges for emergency communications. According to the survey, 38 percent of public sector organizations said that their "primary challenge" with workforce notifications is reaching workers spread across multiple locations in the U.S. and overseas.
Regarding cybersecurity incidents that require rapid notification across a workforce, 66 percent of respondents said malware was a main concern. Sixty-four percent answered ransomware while 57 percent indicated phishing, 44 percent said compromised business email and 29 percent said rogue software.
Seventeen percent of respondents said that their primary concern with emergency communications was not having up-to-date employee contact information. Only 29 percent of respondents said they were "very confident" that their employee contact information was current and accurate.
According to the OnSolve survey, public sector organizations want emergency alerting service to have "reporting tools." Twenty-one percent of decision makers who responded said that "reporting was the most important EMNS feature," followed by integration with other applications like customer-relation management and BC tools (18 percent); geographical tracking (17 percent); two-way communication (17 percent); mobile app (11 percent); polling (9 percent); a conference bridge (4 percent).
"The survey affirms that public sector leaders are turning to innovative mass notification solutions not only to keep employees safe, but ensure reliable risk management and business continuity of operations—including crisis management, IT service management, corporate communications, supply chain management, event management, or any scenario that demands reliable two-way notification for groups from one to many thousands," Ann Pickren, president of Ormond Beach, Florida-based OnSolve, which provides Software-as-a-Service-based emergency communication solutions.

NEXT STORY: Law Enforcement Stress Tests New Emergency Response Tech in Georgia


Migraines cost American taxpayers $13 billion in missed work or reduced productivity annually. In a time of job insecurity and financial vulnerability when stress levels are high and incomes are low, crippling migraines are an ever increasing epidemic. For the 28 million Americans who suffer from recurrent migraines, the accepted treatment is pharmacological therapy. Now a alternative treatment known as neurofeedback has been shown to be a viable treatment option with few side effects for those with recurrent migraine headaches.
This is welcome news for sufferers as the treatment effectiveness of migraine medications is reported to be discouraging. A large majority (84%) of people with migraines state that the drugs do not completely relieve their pain, and sometimes do not even work at all. Another 71% note that their headaches return after treatment, and more than a third report that the drugs are associated with excessive side effects.
Jonathan Walker, M.D., a Dallas, Texas neurologist, recently published a study in the journal Clinical EEG and Neuroscience in which he used quantitative EEG (QEEG) brain imaging to map the brain activity of 71 patients who came for migraine treatment. He discovered a brain activation pattern associated with systemic stress common to every single patient. He then offered to treat anyone in the group using neurofeedback, also known as EEG-biofeedback, instead of drugs. 46 patients elected to undergo neurofeedback and 25 patients decided to remain on medications.
Dr. Walker treated those who opted for neurofeedback with an innovative brain-computer interface developed by BrainMaster Technologies, Inc. of Bedford, Ohio, a leading provider of neurofeedback equipment and technology, for an average of 24 sessions. During treatment sessions, patients were attached to sensors, which tracked their brain waves and delivered real-time visual and auditory information as they entered a specified combination of brainwave conditions associated with relaxation and self-regulation.
At the end of the study, 54% of those participating in neurofeedback experienced a complete elimination of their migraine headaches with no side effects from the neurofeedback therapy. None of those in the pharmaceutical therapy group reported elimination of migraine activity. An additional 39% of the neurofeedback group reported a more than a 50% reduction in migraine frequency, while only 8% of people in the pharmaceutical therapy group reported similar improvement. One person in the neurofeedback group reported no change in headache frequency, while 68% of the pharmaceutical therapy group said their headache frequency had not changed. Statistical analysis reveals a 1 in 100,000 possibility the results were due to chance.
Dr. Walker's study demonstrates the effectiveness of neurofeedback in treating patients with recurrent migraines with a moderate investment of time and energy, and no apparent risk of side effects.

Thank you for your comment Sharon. I'm sorry to tell that this study did not answer this question. And I don't know of any other study either that could answer that.
…that's too bad, because this is very real reason for some migraines. Sorry that this "research" venue has such a limited scope.
