Star Trek: The Next Generation's 25 must-watch episodes
Before Star Trek: Discovery, treat yourself to some Star Trek: The Next Generation classics...
By Sven Harvey | October 18, 2017 |
Leading the charge back to television for the Star Trek franchise (just as Star Trek: Discovery is now), and paving the way for three further series to follow (fingers crossed that happens again), Star Trek: The Next Generation's 7 seasons had some very high points, and a couple of very low ones (that some would simply call "season 1….", not that I'm one of them.)
These are the top 25 "must-watch" episodes, not necessarily the top 25 for quality, or indeed my 25 favourites, but the 25 stories that give you the best flavour of the series and its relatively unplanned story arcs. Just don't forget that, like The Original Series, The Next Generation is a product of its time, and as such certain issues that writers wanted to bring to the screen not only necessitated allegory, but sometimes stretched it thin so as not to raise issues with censorship.
If you only ever watch 25 stories from Star Trek: The Next Generation, these are they, at least in my opinion. The only rules in place are that they have to be from the TV series (no films), and multi-part episodes count as one story (even if an episode is pretty much an epilogue.) If you get chance, try to watch the majority of all 7 seasons at some point… but by the Great Bird of the Galaxy avoid Shades Of Grey (S2). And Justice (S1)… A '10 episodes to avoid' might have legs actually… But I digress.
If you are able, I would also recommend watching episodes of The Next Generation in remastered form on Blu-ray, even with the minor changes to the effects shots, as in more than one case this has corrected an actual error. As with most episodes of Star Trek TV shows, the live-action footage was captured on 35mm film, and thus the restoration work done on the negatives looks fantastic in HD.
This list is presented in a viewing order I would suggest, and is primarily in production order as they flow better that way, rather than in a rank order.
Skin Of Evil (Season 1)
The episode is memorable for not only killing off a member of the main cast (one not even wearing a red shirt!) but also for the almost inconsequential way in which the death occurs.
The story sets up quite a bit that comes afterwards, and fortunately comes towards the end of the generally lacklustre first season. As such, it's quite obvious things have settled down and both cast and crew are more confident in what they are doing. I warn you though, this episode has a complete lack of any light-heartedness and is very much a dramatic presentation.
Conspiracy (Season 1)
Though the themes of this episode are hinted at in Coming Of Age (season one's nineteenth episode) this episode also works well as a stand-alone story. Though Coming Of Age isn't a bad episode by any means, it falls way outside of the top 25. Starfleet seems to have taken a turn for the weird, and an old friend of Captain Picard summons him for a secret meeting. Data also, through the analysis of comm traffic has discovered a disturbing trend in Starfleet orders…
This is the episode where phasers appear to be a little bit tortuous and not as efficient as they should be (though to be fair in early Next Generation they do look like Dustbusters) and do an awfully good impression of the Veron-T Disruptor (see Season 5's The Most Toys). Overall, this is a well-written episode with some effects that look a little… well 80s now – exploding meat-pack included.
The Neutral Zone (Season 1)
Data finds a long-lost Earth capsule that literally has the past inside in the form of 3 easily cured cryogenically frozen patients from the early twenty-first century. The trio attempts to acclimatise to the twenty-fourth century, and the massive change in human culture. Meanwhile the Enterprise is to rendezvous with a Romulan vessel after decades without contact, only for the results of shared data about attacks along the neutral zone to usher in a serious sense of foreboding. 80s serial guest star Peter Mark Richman makes the most of his scenes, while the appearance of the Romulans in the form of Commander Tebok, played by Marc Alaimo, who would go on to be not only the first Cardassian we'd see, but then Gul Dukat in Deep Space Nine.
This may be a debatable inclusion in a pure top 25 episodes by quality alone, but the groundwork laid in this episode, for more than one foe of the Federation, is vital to the vast majority that follows in not only Next Generation, but Deep Space Nine and Voyager, too.
The Measure Of A Man (Season 2)
From one episode that is crucial to others but considered purely on its own merits is a debatable entry on this list, to an episode that absolutely belongs in the top 2 stories – and one that rivals even Best Of Both Worlds (yes, I said it!)
Data is ordered to undergo dismantling so that Commander Maddox of the Daystrom Institute can study him. Data is not comfortable with that and refuses, only to find his final recourse to resign isn't an option to him as he is seen by Starfleet as property. Cue the best courtroom drama episode of Star Trek ever produced including an astonishing performance from Patrick Stewart backed up by an understated but incredibly potent interaction with Whoopi Goldberg, and superb work from Jonathan Frakes, especially in the Blu-ray exclusive extended versions of the story.
Q Who (Season 2)
Q arrives, has a stand-off with Guinan and requests to join the crew of the Enterprise much to the annoyance of Commander Riker and Microbrain (aka Worf.) Captain Picard makes the mistake of stating his belief that his crew and Starfleet as a whole is ready to meet whatever is out there. So Q clicks his fingers and throws the Galaxy class Enterprise to the solar system designated J-25 to discover a planet with readings identical to those found in The Neutral Zone. Not only that… but a cube shaped ship enters orbit.
It turns out that resistance is futile and your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to that of Trek fandom, as this is one of the episodes that really will grab you – though its direct sequel is still to come.
The Emissary (Season 2)
An old flame of Worf, in the form of the half-human, half-Klingon, Ambassador K'Ehleyr, arrives on the Enterprise in a unique way. At the behest of Starfleet Security, the Ambassador is on board to warn and assist the crew of the Enterprise regarding the threat posed by a K'Tinga class Klingon Cruiser, the crew of which have been in suspended animation for 75 years. The crew of the IKS T'Ong are on a secret mission to attack the Federation, and are, of course, unaware that peace has broken out between the former enemies.
Susie Plakson's turn as K'Ehleyr cements her position as a go-to actress for the franchise after her superb debut as Doctor Selar earlier in the season (The Schizoid Man) and would go on to reprise this part and manage to take on two further alien races in roles as the female Q in Voyager and Lt. Tarah of the Andorian Imperial Guard in Enterprise, making four in total. No other actor has played a Vulcan, an Andorian, a Klingon and a Q!
Who Watches The Watchers (Season 3)
Foreshadowing Star Trek: Insurrection, a Federation research team has been revealed to the indigenous lifeforms on a planet with a (very) pre-warp civilization, causing a breach of the Prime Directive, necessitating Commander Riker and Counsellor Troi to go undercover as the Vulcan-eque Mintakans to rescue a researcher. Hilarity ensues. That is, if you find Picard being referred to as a God and having people sacrificed to him hilarious.
This one's such a good foundation for new viewers as to quite why the Prime Directive is so important in the Star Trek universe that it was drawn upon for the opening sequence of Star Trek Into Darkness. It shows Next Generation at its thoughtful best.
Yesterday's Enterprise (Season 3)
You know something major has occurred when the end of the pre-credit sequence involves Worf being replaced by Lt. Yar… The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C, the Ambassador Class predecessor to the Galaxy Class Enterprise-D, turns up after going missing and being presumed destroyed for 22 years. Unfortunately Guinan's extra-normal perception detects that the timeline has changed.
This story sets up a few things, as well as being downright brilliant in its own right, and is every bit as much a must-watch as Best Of Both Worlds.
The Offspring (Season 3)
Jonathan Frakes graduates Paramount Academy with his directorial debut here, bringing the best out of Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner in particular, as Data struggles to understand why he has to inform the Captain of his attempts to procreate when none of the other crew have to.
A great performance from Hallie Todd as Lal which, literally, is the heart of the story, elevates this into the top 25.
Sins Of The Father (Season 3)
Mogh, father of Worf is accused of betraying the Klingons to the Romulans, and thus instigating the Khitomer massacre. Starfleet's only Klingon officer isn't going to just let it lie, only to find he has a brother he knew nothing about.
This is the first time Worf interacts with the Klingon High Council, at least on-screen, and comes into conflict with the Duras family for the first time – the actions in this episode would reverberate through both Next Generation, DS9 and into Star Trek: Generations.
Sarek (Season 3)
From one father, to another. Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan, whose son is none other than Ambassador and formerly Captain Spock, comes aboard the Enterprise much to the delight of Captain Picard. Unfortunately it seems that Sarek is incapable of visiting the Enterprise in good health, and is suspected of being the cause of heightened tension and conflict aboard ship.
Once again Mark Lenard is outstanding, and Patrick Stewart's performance as he grapples with Sarek's erratic emotional state is a slightly uncomfortable highlight.
Best Of Both Worlds/Family (Seasons 3 & 4)
J-25 turns out to be a solar system not far enough from the Federation, and the readings from The Neutral Zone are forgotten as a single Borg vessel prepares to cut a swathe through Federation territory, with Captain Picard and anyone else in their way becoming little more than collateral damage.
Guest star Elizabeth Dennehy shines as Lieutenant Commander Shelby, lighting a fire under Riker. The cliff-hanger, Star Trek's first as a season closer, drove fans up the wall for months, with the main story wrapped up in the first episode of season 4 and an epilogue in the second episode of the season, Family, that underlined quite what the Captain went through as Locutus, once again proving who was leading the cast in more ways than one.
Reunion (Season 4)
K'Ehleyr returns to the Enterprise with not only the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council in tow, but also her son, Alexander. It turns out that 3 to 4 year old Klingon children grow up really fast as Alexander was conceived during his mother's last visit to the Enterprise, and he looks like he's about 5. The episode also returns Duras to the screen and introduces Gowron. Unfortunately Alexander loses his mother, after she investigates Worf's dishonour and the Khitomer massacre, when Duras murders her. Worf doesn't take that lying down and ensures that the candidate for Chancellor got the point, dis-commendation or not.
This story continues Worf's journey into Klingon culture which doesn't really conclude until at least DS9's What You Leave Behind… or perhaps the "canon" 2009 film prequel comic story, Countdown.
The Wounded (Season 4)
A veteran Captain of the Cardassian/Federation War, Ben Maxwell has taken it upon himself to launch his Nebula class starship, the USS Phoenix, into a one-ship war against the Cardassian Empire, believing that they are rearming to challenge the Federation once more. A Cardassian Gul (Captain) and two aides join the crew of the Enterprise to stop the Phoenix destroying further Cardassian vessels and outposts.
This is the first appearance of the Cardassians on screen with Marc Alaimo staking an early claim to the de-facto portrayal of a Cardassian commanding officer, Gul Macet, in advance of landing the regular role as Gul Dukat in Deep Space Nine. We also learn a bit about Chief O'Brien's background in the process – giving Colm Meaney some decent room to show what he can do.
Redemption (Seasons 4 & 5)
Gowron attempts to take his place as Chancellor of the Klingon High Council but the sisters of Duras, Lursa and B'Etor reveal the deceased candidate's son and challenge the succession. The result is a Klingon Civil War, and Worf's loyalties are split between the Federation and his own people. It seems the Duras are also getting help, as they have done before, from another race with cloaked ships. Leave it to Captain Data to sort out the situation.
Will someone please tell me how Picard isn't a Fleet Captain or Commodore at this point, when he's in command of a fleet? Though the season cliff-hanger is nowhere near as compelling as that in Best Of Both Worlds, this two-part story serves to delve into Klingon culture and set a few things up for both Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.
Darmok (Season 5)
How do you talk to a race that appears to speak in gibberish, even with the universal translator doing its best? According to the Children Of Tamar, the best solution is to beam your Captain and that of the vessel you are trying to communicate with down to a planet with a dangerous creature, give each officer a knife and see if they can work out their differences. Paul Winfield (who also played Captain Terrell in Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan) does a superb job as the Tamarian Captain who communicates with Captain Picard by metaphor – it turns out that knowing the story of the example you're citing helps quite a bit.
The late, great Michael Piller remarked of this episode "I just think Darmok is the prototype of what Star Trek should be." It has also be used by Linguistic teachers as an example of how language can develop while the premise alone in the form of the billing blurb for the episode inspired Russell T Davis to write Midnight, from the fourth series of Doctor Who's revival.
Unification (Season 5)
A bit of Sarek again, as Spock goes undercover on Romulus conducting cowboy diplomacy, prompting Picard and Data to pretend to be Romulans, and get transported to Romulus aboard a Klingon Bird Of Prey. There's a reference to ear licking. There's a discussion between Data and Spock. Tasha's daughter, the Romulan commander, turns up. Jonathan Frakes sings the Next Generation theme tune in a blooper.
Do I really need to say any more? The great and much missed Leonard Nimoy on Next Generation is all the recommendation this one needs.
The Outcast (Season 5)
As potent today as The Original Series' Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, this episode now appears to tackle gender identity and uses the metaphor of a member of an androgynous race, the J'naii, who leans towards being female as a mirror for the struggle of those who are gender fluid or transgender, though it wasn't the original intent.
Riker becomes involved romantically with the female-leaning Soren, only to find such a person is viewed as a throwback in need of therapy by their own people. It's equally heart-breaking and brilliant. Bizarrely it appears that our wider knowledge of the human condition as a whole has caught up with this episode which was originally conceived to provide an allegory for different sexualities, and was criticised for not being awfully successful in that endeavour at the time. The horror of Soren being forced to undergo mental alteration for her perceived "criminal perversion" of being female rather than without gender, is now all too real.
I Borg (Season 5)
It's not a person damn it, it's a Borg! Except it is a person, even though it's a Borg, it transpires. A single-minded Captain Picard is determined to introduce a virus-like problem into the collective using a teenaged Borg an Enterprise away team has rescued from a crash site as the conduit. Guinan, even being one of the last remnants of a race all but wiped out by the Borg, disagrees and convinces the Captain to actually talk to "Hugh".
This one is a wonderfully written and executed episode which lays a path for later developments – Borg can indeed become individuals again.
The Inner Light (Season 5)
Captain Picard is ensnared by an alien probe which as far as the rest of the crew is aware, forces him unconscious. They are unaware that another man's life is being experienced by Jean-Luc, which we the viewer get to experience with him.
Patrick Stewart excels (as he often does) in a great bit of science fiction that won a Hugo award and was nominated for an Emmy. Jay Chattaway's score for this one is also unforgettable.
Chain Of Command (Season 6)
Take one Patrick Stewart and one David Warner, put them in a torture room with 4 lights. Put Patrick in chains and make David a Cardassian who is torturing Picard for information, while Dick Jones, ahem, I mean Captain Jellico (Ronny Cox) is running the Enterprise. Some say this is Patricks Stewart's finest performance as Captain Picard, and considering the actor actually researched with Amnesty International for this role, it's not surprising. The bold interactions between Jonathan Frakes and Ronny Cox are great scenes.
Great as the episode is, however, it's certainly not for the faint of heart, and I am amazed the BBFC gave it a PG certificate.
Tapestry (Season 6)
Picard is dead. Q is God. The universe, fortunately, is not that badly designed. Q gives Jean-Luc the option to go back and fix what ails him (his reliance on an artificial heart) by avoiding his injury at the hands of a burley Nausicaan in the first place. Unfortunately it turns out that the result would be a very different man.
Okay, so this one is basically the Next Generation version of It's A Wonderful Life, but it also has Q to recommend it, as well as the fact that you learn more about Jean-Luc's youth and why he laughed when he was stabbed through the back and heart.
Frame Of Mind (Season 6)
Riker appears to find himself in an insane asylum on an alien world, with his known history as a Starfleet Commander on the Enterprise seemingly all a delusion… except he appears to be slipping between realities, or are they delusions too?
Jonthan Frakes is allowed to show his acting chops in this reality-bending tale – and he conveys Riker losing his grip on reality very well. This story does the idea better than Sucker Punch ever could, not to mention a lot earlier.
Lower Decks (Season 7)
This one provides a rare glimpse into the lives of junior officers aboard the Federation Starfleet flagship, two of whom are up for promotion. Meanwhile something is going on, involving a rescued unknown from the border with the Cardassian Empire, and the Bajoran ensign who was part of the Nova Squadron cover-up at the academy with Wesley Crusher (see season 5's The First Duty).
This is possibly the most popular episode of season 7 and deserves to be. It gives a different perspective on the daily lives of those aboard the Enterprise. At one point Sito Jaxa (the Bajoran ensign) was due to reappear in Deep Space Nine, and this rumour developed at one point to include Thomas Riker, but alas, it never happened.
Encounter At Farpoint/All Good Things (Seasons 1 & 7)
The trial of the human race that Q instigates in Farpoint is seemingly ongoing, and it appears that Captain Jean-Luc Picard may be the destroyer of humanity itself, in the time-jumping finale to Star Trek: The Next Generation on television.
Okay, I am cheating here a bit. Encounter At Farpoint in itself, isn't great, but without it the splendour that is All Good Things makes no sense. Thus you have to watch the first episode of Next Generation for the last to work. However, even with all the introductions and John DeLancie being frankly fantastic as Q, Farpoint doesn't deserve to be in the top 25 on its own merits… All Good Things really does, though, and as the conclusion to the story that Farpoint starts, forgive me the conceit of putting them together as one story here.
Of course, like any other list of this nature, everyone will have alternative selections and to be utterly fair my 'almosts' include some brilliant episodes such as Ensign Ro, Second Chances and The Most Toys. Then again, Next Generation is my favourite TV show of all time, so there is very little of it I don't enjoy or wouldn't show to a friend.
Look out… Deep Space Nine is next in my sights.

Less is More or More is More? Revisiting Universality of Human Rights
Tanel Kerikmäe and
Katrin Nyman-Metcalf
Human rights are much talked about and much written about, in academic legal literature as well as in political and other social sciences and the general political debate. Indeed, they are so oft en referred to and used as a basis for claims of various kinds that there may be a risk of certain "inflation" in that so much is said to be a human right that the notion loses its essential meaning. Th is article argues that the universality of basic human rights is one of the values of the concept of rights. Th e rights and the understanding and interpretation of rights may have to be purist. Th is may be the way universal human rights as a concept can survive at all. In the modern world there are different trends that to some extent conflict, like the trend of globalisation but also the re- emphasising in different parts of the world of traditional values, whether from a religious background or something else. It appears that the basic dogma of human rights - which has also been called the first universal ideology - that it is the individual and her rights and freedoms that should always be in the centre of any human rights discourse, is abandoned all the more oft en as the central principle. Instead the banner of human rights is used for various political and economic aims

Pluralism of Mass Media as a Constitutional Principle
Michal Bartoň
The article deals with following issues: - plurality of mass media as a freedom of speech principle, - regulation of mass media and its two faces: regulation as a way of limitation of freedom of expression and regulation as a way of protection of freedom of expression, - danger of mass-media monopoly for "free trade of ideas", - regulation of content versus regulation of access, the question of positive obligations of state power resulting from constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech, - legal means for securing of mass-media plurality and question of its constitutional conformity with protection of property (regulation of mass-media ownership as a protection of freedom of speech).

The Principle of Foreseeability of Judicial Decisions as a Component of the Right to a Fair Trial
Jana Křiváčková
The article focuses on the principle of foreseeability of judicial decisions in civil court proceedings, as one of the components of the right to a fair trial in the Czech Republic. The principle of foreseeability of judicial decisions has to be understood as a general term including several requirements on judicial process in civil court proceedings the purpose of which is to avoid surprising decisions which can be seen as one of possible forms of violation of the right to a fair trial. Predictable decision is a decision that follows from a predictable procedure of the court in which the court proceeds strictly according to procedure code using all of the special institutions such as the duty to instruct the participants concerning their procedural rights and duties. The second requirement is to respect the legitimate expectations of the parties regarding the application of law on their case. Participants have the right to expect that their case will be decided accordingly to a legal opinion expressed in a case already decided before the courts. This aspect of the foreseeability of judicial decisions then puts high demands on the ability of courts to deal with situations in which they decide a case differently from the existing case law and thus the decision may be surprising for the participants. This article concentrates on the legal regulation of the principle of foreseeability of judicial decisions on the level of constitutional and civil procedural law. The article also deals with the legal regulation in this area in the Slovak Republic and Germany. The purpose of the article is to compare the legislation on national and international level as well as to compare Czech, German and Slovak legal regulation of the principle of foreseeability of judicial decisions.

Organization of Czech and Polish Administrative Judiciary
David Kryska
Page range: 81 - 102
The author, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of most recent reforms of administrative judiciary in the Czech Republic and the Republic of Poland, compares the legislation of Czech and Polish administrative judiciary. The article is divided into three parts, the first two discuss the legislation in both countries. Constitutional foundations of the organization and the system of administrative judiciary are addressed there. Subsequently, the author deals separately with the legislation of lower levels of the system and the legislation of supreme administrative courts, focussing on judges and other professional staff and the structure of the courts. Both the parts are rounded by an interpretation of the instruments for unification of the judicature. The third part of the paper includes the final summary.

Marriage Capacity, Social Values and Law-Making Process
Kristi Joamets
Page range: 103 - 121
This article explores capacity to marry in depth, beyond the literal statements presented by legal acts in Estonia. Th e discussion will be focusing on answering the following questions: What is the nature of marriage capacity and how it has been developed in Estonia? What are the values that the Estonian Family Law Act (2010) protects when regulating marriage capacity? In addition a brief comparative analysis will seek to explain how different regulations of the EU member states on the same matter (marriage capacity) are. Th is can also help discussions on whether is it justified to talk about cultural differences of EU member states in the context of marriage capacity or not.

Address: 6770 Hawaii Kai Dr, Honolulu, HI 96825.
Built in 1974, 146 Units over 14 Floors, 1 - 3BR, Pets: OK (verify).
Amenities include Pool, Meeting Room, Security Guard, Exercise Room, Recreation Area, BBQ.
Corner tower units have wrap-around windows!
The Plaza Hawaii Kai actually has 2 different living environments. One made up by the main tower, which rises 14 floors that hold 117 units, the lions' share of the total residences. The second consists of the 29 townhomes that offer 1 and 2 floor layouts and as many as 3 lanais for your quieter hours.
Though the tower can't match that amount of outdoor space, they do compensate with some incredible views only possible from its higher levels. As you go up higher, you get a better and better vantage point, the upper floors having a magnificent lookout at not only the marina, but the ocean that feeds it.
Some tower residences can take in the entire span from Koko Head all the way to Diamond Head in the distance, allowing you to see 2 iconic features of Oahu's landscape. Not many Hawaii Kai condos can claim that kind of visual sweep.
It's easy to tell which units are the biggest because they pop out from the exterior, a distinction that has given them the name 'bubble units'. The windows in that bubble give them an extra edge on the view because they provide deeper angles than a typical flat window can offer.
The Plaza's site off of Hawaii Kai Drive situates you right in the midst of the area's notable dining and shopping choices. Do a Costco run in minutes, browse the shops of Koko Marina Center or stop by Long's for those quick, but necessary errands.
The location also places your home in a well-served breezeway, so the tradewinds are your constant companion on those hotter days. Relief is always there when you need it.
If you've been wondering whether townhome life or condo living was right for you, this is a place you need to look into now. With both options available, and all the amenities and location concerns satisfied, you're bound to make up your mind here.

The origins of the monoamine hypothesis of depression
November 1, 2018 In Neuroscience
Depression is a mental disorder characterised by clinical symptoms including low mood, rumination, functional impairment, retardation, and somatic syndromes such as sleep disturbances and loss of appetite (Lorr et al., 1967). Antidepressants were serendipitously discovered in the 1950s, when Iproniazid, a drug originally prescribed as a treatment for tuberculosis, was shown to induce increased vitality and desire for social activity in patients (López-Muñoz & Alamo, 2009).
It had been previously observed that Iproniazid was capable of inhibiting monoamine-oxidase (MAO), a family of enzymes catalysing the oxidation of monoamines such as serotonin and noradrenaline (Zeller et al., 1952). The connexion scientists made between an improved mood in patients with tuberculosis and higher levels of monoamines in their brains led to further research into MAO inhibitors (MAOIs) as a treatment for depression (López-Munoz et al., 2007), and what is now known as the monoamine hypothesis – which poses that depression is caused by a deficiency in serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain (Hirschfeld, 2000).
According to this hypothesis, it is possible to restore normal function in depressed patients by increasing the levels of monoamines at the synaptic level (López-Muñoz & Alamo, 2009). This theory has been ubiquitous for the past fifty years (Van Praag, 2001) and has been said to have inaugurated the modern psychopharmacological era in psychiatry (Healy,1997). Over the course of these years Iproniazid gave way to other agents which are more effectively inhibiting MAO (Jacobsen, 1986). These monoamine reuptake inhibitors (MRI) prevent the removal of monoamines from the synaptic area, thus increasing the overall concentration of monoamines in the brain (Stahl, 1998).
To illustrate the prevalence of MRIs as a therapeutic approach, serotonin reuptake inhibitors are currently recommended by both national and international bodies as first-line treatment for most patients with depression (Cleare et al., 2015) and nowadays, antidepressants are the most widely prescribed drugs (Kirsch, 2002).
But not all researchers are convinced by the efficacy of these commonly prescribed antidepressants which increase the levels of monoamine transmitters in the brain, and some are even investigating their potentially harmful side effects. First, despite the ubiquity of antidepressants, depression remains the most prevalent mental illness (Kessler & Bromet, 2013). Second, there is growing concern that MRI medications may actually increase the odds of suicide (Healy, 2003).
Then, in addition to these mixed outcomes, studies at the biological level show that synaptic concentrations of serotonin and noradrenaline are in fact not lower than normal in all individuals suffering from depression, nor do these individuals have fewer monoamine receptors in their brain, challenging the validity of the monoamine hypothesis (Hinz et al., 2012). The central role of monoamine levels in the onset of depression is further challenged by the delay between increase in monoamine levels in the brain and clinical improvement, which can be often measured in weeks (Vetulani & Sulser, 1975).
The current supremacy of the monoamine theory may have restrained research into other potential process, and slowed down the discovery of safer and more effective antidepressant medications (Hindmarch, 2002). In contrast, an increasingly popular theory states that even if monoamines have a role in some specific forms of depression, they are more often likely to play an indirect role which involves more complex cerebral metabolic mechanisms (Barchas & Altemus, 1999).
Looking beyond the monoamine theory of depression, a multidisciplinary approach embracing the polysyndromic nature of depression, which incorporates metabolic, cellular, genetic and immunological mediators, is allowing researchers to explore novel treatments (Krishnan & Nestler, 2008).
For example, it has been recently observed that sub-anaesthetic doses of intravenously infused ketamine produces rapid antidepressant effects on individuals with treatment-resistant major depression (Zarate et al., 2006). Other researchers are exploring alternative biochemical pathways to treat depression, such as the ones associated with cortisol, the brain's stress hormone (Keller et al., 2017).
More research is needed and treatments are likely to become increasingly more personalised to each patient, with research currently underway in the areas of pharmacogenetics influencing gene-gene and gene-environment interactions (Gvozdic et al., 2012). In order to uncover novel interventions, these research efforts may need to ignore the pharmacological assumptions characterising the monoamine hypothesis of depression (Mulinari, 2012).

Turboschlock does at least 120mph.
I arrived safely in Boise.
There is a God who watches over damfools.
Maybe if there wasn't, there'd be a lot more accidents.
I suspect the God Who Watches Over Damfools is really busy.
I doubt that, considering that even allowing for stupidity and intoxication most people have a rather highly evolved sense of self preservation. If there in addition actually was divine protection available there wouldn't be much in the way of accidents left.
And having all the damfools.
Doesn't have quite the same ring … what's that revolving sound?
Are you eager to have the highway patrol put your plates on the watch list? It's nice that you got there intact and all; but perhaps there was one too many details here about how.
For what it's worth, most of the time I didn't go that much faster than the posted limits – usually I just moved with the flow of the left-lane traffic. There was this patch of empty road, though, where I could see about 5 miles, and figured I'd try opening it up.
The highway patrol is welcome to watch out for me, but ticketing someone for 5 to 9 mph over the limit isn't something they're likely to go out of their way for. I've had my fun, and have no desire to go that fast again.
Personally, I'm all in favor of the old Montana speed limit system — "Reasonable and prudent during daylight hours, 75mph after dark." Or was it 85? I still remember driving most of the way across Montana at about 100mph in 1983, right up to the summit of the Continental Divide.
You are indeed fortunate not to have Sheriff GATSO watching you…here in the UK the speedcam gets you at greater than 1mph over….and since the law and local borough share the fines they don't hold back.
I've read about this system in El Reg… I gather it's not very popular amongst the general populace.
Makes me twitchy just thinking about it.
Not only that, but you know that are supposed to post notices warning there are speed cams ahead ? [otherwise it's entrapment or something].
Well, our local force has worked out a new dodge. They have a three day grace period between putting up a camera, and when they have to put up a sign apparently.
So now they're using mobile cameras, which they can hide someplace, catch a few motorists, and then move before the three day limit.
Hidden, secret, mobile speed cameras.
Needless to say, this one is being contested, but the local judges have a record of siding with the police, so it could set a precident.
Um… notice the key phrase… "here in the UK". Different legal system, different laws. Also, a noticeable difference in the level of civil rights. (Before anyone objects too loudly to my comments, I've lived there. I speak from experience, with both sets of circumstances.) In any case, knowing something of the Traffic Office, I can well believe it – and that the courts are quite ready to support it. As I recall, the Traffic Office tended to be rather draconian… which at least led to a lower incidence of regretable drivers, I'm willing to grant.
Not sure where the confusion is… the UK is where we're talking about.
So what did it sound like running that hard? Could you hear the turbo over the other noises?
It was smooth. Little additional road noise, and the engine wasn't making any of those groaning noises you sometimes hear when you push an engine harder than it was built to be pushed.
I could have climbed up to 130, or maybe even 135 if I hadn't run out of road. I was about a mile behind the vehicle in front of me when I took my foot of the gas and *coasted* to within 200 feet. Had I pushed any harder, I would have had to end my little run with BRAKES, and I'm not sure I want to try applying brakes at 120… much less 140.
These germans, they build things for the autobahn. My Saturn, by comparison, got taken up to 105 one fine day, and it complained the whole time. I stopped at 105 because I could tell the car didn't really HAVE 108 in it.
I had the Saturn for 10 years, and took it out fast just the one time. It seems that's my pattern for cars. I just need to go really fast ONCE. Heaven help me if I get anything really built for speed, though.
Yes, the Germans do make rather good cars, don't they? Beat the heck out of a cheap local car, often… and often beat the cheap but reliable Japanese cars too.
Hm. One of these days, I might have to find myself out west on a desolate stretch of road…I haven't had my car above 90 (and that was just to keep up with Michigan traffic on I-94!), and, like you, have this urge to do it once, at least in most cars.

Most recently, Cassidy Lynn Campbell was crowned as the nation's first transgender homecoming queen, which opened more discussion than what she bargained for when she was up for candidacy.
According to Campbell, there was backlash when it was announced that she would be in the top 10 contenders. The negative commentary would continue even after she won.
In a YouTube video, she sobbed: "I am just as a human being as they are," she said. "The fact that these other people can say the things they say, and act the way they act, and think the way they think is just inhumane."
Originally known as Lance Campbell, the 16-year-old said that he had always felt like a girl.
"It's not a choice," she said. "This is something I've wanted for so long."
(via YouTube)
It's odd that high school students, the new generation millennials, find the transgender community as alien or weird. This is supposed to be an era of open-minds. With the Internet, if anything seems weird or foreign, you can google it, but despite all the advances in technology and plethora of available sources, ignorance, yet again, will come to play.
According to the Williams Institute of UCLA, there were nearly 700,000 transgender Americans as of 2011. They make up a small fraction of the bigger LGBT community which is made up of approximately 9 million Americans. When it comes to transgenders, many are accused of being "mentally disturbed" or just "unhappy with their gender", and there is never an accurate portrayal of the transgender community in mainstream media or politics. The only time a light seems to shine on them is through some legislation like the newly installed California law, which will allow transgender students to use any bathroom they want. Other than that, the transgender community is shown in the most negative light.
Plainly put, a transgender person simply does not feel as though they were the gender that was assigned to them at birth. Now that America is slowly coming to terms with the LGBT community, we need to begin acting with the same normalcy towards the transgender community.

In order to test the eggs for contaminants, we first have to separate the egg contents from the eggshell. To do this we use a dremel tool to carefully cut through the eggshell, but not the membrane. We then lift up the piece of cut eggshell. Here, there is always a moment of hesitation: what will be inside?
Sometimes we find a nice yellow yolk with a viscus albumen (the whites). However, as the eggs age, both the yolk and albumen start to break down making them runny. On other instances we find more developed embryos, and to be honest, the scene can be quite gruesome.
The worst, by far, is a rotten egg. Sometimes just with the slightest touch of the dremel, the egg will explode sending shell and contents everywhere. For example, one of our middle school interns picked a piece of shell out of my hair.
But occasionally, we will find something surprising. Like a double yolker! While taking photos of the clutch, Aubrey noticed that one egg was bigger than the others in the clutch (Egg C).
When we went to curate it, we found not one, but two perfect yolks.
I'm not sure anyone has ever looked at the odds for house sparrows, but for chickens the odds of getting a double yolker is about 1 in 1,000. Just as in humans, twin birds can be fraternal or paternal. If a female produces two yolks in a short enough time span (about three hours), than both yolks will travel through the oviduct together as one egg creating fraternal twins. If the embryo splits within the egg during development than the twins will be paternal. Most of these twins will die in the egg completing for the same resources. However, there are some cases where twin egg are able to successfully hatch!
One of these cases happens to be in bluebirds! Back in 2013, a Nestwatch volunteer in State College Pennsylvania found more nestlings in a nest of bluebird than there had been eggs! Twins had successfully hatched! These rare occurrences can only be documented through having vigilant and dedicated nestbox monitors and naturalists around the world.

The Eternal Wanderers is a band from Moscow, Russia, playing progressive art rock with psychedelic and electronic overtones. The band was formed over ten years ago by the Kanevskaya sisters Elena (vocals, keyboards) and Tatyana (guitar, baking vocals). The bass player and drummer joined only a couple of years ago. Their influences include Pink Floyd, Steve Morse Band, Deep Purple, Yes, ELP, Bernd Kistenmacher, Solitaire, Roger Waters, Klaus Schulze (early works), Artemy Artemiev, Art Zoyd and Univers Zero. This is their first album and concentrates mostly on progressive art rock and RIO. There are also some more experimental sections.
The album features seven tracks that have enough of variation. Two of them ("The Door to a Parallel World" and "Visions of the Lost World") are rather adventurous instrumentals. Some of the songs have pretty nice, folk music-like melodies, and there are also heavier guitar parts in there. I like Elena's voice quite a lot, and the playing is also very good throughout the album. I especially enjoy some of the keyboard stuff, for example on the track "No Way Back". Somehow the music doesn't really touch me, though. That's possibly just because this art rock/RIO kind of stuff isn't exactly my thing. The Door to a Parallel World is still an enjoyable musical journey and I have a feeling that on the next album the band might be able to advance to a new level.

You may be thinking, "I've already had one newborn in the house so round two should be a breeze." You've probably already decorated the nursery, stocked up on your favorite Huggies diapers and wipes and have enough pre-made frozen meals in the fridge to last you weeks. But there is one key difference this time around that you may not have thought of yet, and it's the ultimate game changer: you already have a child at home.
As you are planning ahead for baby's arrival, help your older child plan ahead too. Tell them about the new sibling before birth. This can be early or later on in your pregnancy depending on the child's level of understanding. Show pictures of the baby in mommy's uterus. Let her pat your belly, talk to the baby, and feel the baby kick. Have fun talking about and planning for the baby with your child.
As the due date approaches, it is important to continue to build on the excitement of having the long awaited baby arrive. If it has felt like a long time for you, imagine how long it's felt for your first born with their particularly short attention span. One way to boost delight around the birth is to ask the child to help you plan a "birthday party" for the new baby. Take your child to the store with you and let them pick the cake and the decorations and to plan special presents for their new sibling, but also gifts for them as they are taking on a new role as big brother or sister.
Give your child a job in the family organization. This job should play up their importance to you, personally and practically. Tell them you need their help. Give them a job title, "You can be Mommy's Helper," and make it fun. For instance, let them be the one to unwrap the baby gifts and test the rattles. But also make it educational.
Shortly after our fifth child, Erin, was born, we gave our four-year-old, Hayden, the job of "mother's assistant." And, we paid her to help. After a few weeks, Hayden was not only more pleasant to live with, she also learned some new skills, too!
You are going to have a lot of diaper changes with a newborn in the house. Diaper changes are a great time to enlist "Mommy's Helper." Depending on your child's age ask them to bring you the Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers or Huggies Natural Care Wipes. Explain to them why it is important to have a good diaper and a gentle wipe that keep baby's skin clean and healthy, so baby stays happy and protected. Let them touch the three layers of the wipes letting them know it's important that they are strong, soft and absorbent. Show them the wetness indicator and explain how this can be a great tool for knowing when it's time to change. If and when you feel comfortable let them change diapers with your supervision.
My diaper of choice are Huggies Little Snugglers because they are inspired by hugs! Your child already understands the importance of hugs, so let them know that each time they help you change baby's diaper it's like they are giving baby a hug.
Often what bothers children most is sharing you with the new sibling. Share time by doing things together. It sounds good to say that you'll give your older child equal amounts of your time, but in practice that's unrealistic. New babies require a lot of maintenance and you don't have 200 percent of you to give.
Beyond working together for diaper changes, try playtime for two: As baby gets a bit older, encourage the child to entertain the baby. Making faces and funny noises is something three or four-year-olds excel at and babies love. Big, toothless grins can be an incredible ego-booster!
It's exciting each time your family gets a little bigger. We loved it so much we had eight kids! But balancing the needs of your newborn as well as the needs of their older siblings can be tough. Stay positive and share time by doing things together and you'll be well on your way to keeping everyone happy.
