Trooper Michael Beers was first on the scene and thought the best idea was to talk to the distraught young man who was threatening to jump off the bridge Sunday night. "We just had guy talk," Beers said yesterday. "It was no big deal, really."
Beacon — It was the first call ever made from the new suicide-prevention phone line on the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.
Trooper Michael Beers was first on the scene and thought the best idea was to talk to the distraught young man who was threatening to jump off the bridge Sunday night.
"We just had guy talk," Beers said yesterday. "It was no big deal, really."
State police Troop T in Newburgh received a call from the Dutchess County Department of Mental Hygiene around 7 p.m. Sunday telling them there was a man contemplating suicide on the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. The man had called a hot-line counselor from one of the six phone boxes that were installed in May.
Beers didn't know what to expect as he climbed over the divider separating the road from the pedestrian walkway.
"I didn't know if he had already jumped or if the man I was approaching was even the right guy," recounted Beers, who described how he positioned himself between the man and the bridge railing and placed his hands on the man. "I asked him if he was thinking about killing himself and he said 'yes.' Then I said, 'Let me talk to you a minute.'"
The man agreed and climbed over the divider with the trooper.
The conversation Beers had with the man was not rehearsed. The academy offers training for these situations, Beers said, but his was seven years ago. He simply had a conversation with the 22-year-old man, who was distraught over a recent break-up with his girlfriend.
Beers told the teary-eyed man, "She's not worth your life." The "guy talk" seemed to work. The man agreed to be transported to an emergency room.
State police Sgt. Jaime Alvear, who also responded to the incident Sunday, said the phones can prove vital.
"The phones give us a chance to get there. Most people don't want to do it, so they pick up the phone," Alvear said.
The New York State Bridge Authority installed the phones on the pedestrian walkway on the eastbound side of the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, as well as on three other Hudson River bridges.
There have been multiple suicides from local bridges this summer, including that of a woman who jumped from the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge in July and the suspected suicide of a 71-year-old Goshen man who is believed to have leaped from the Bear Mountain Bridge on Monday. Neither of those people used the hot-line phones.
Another woman was talked out of jumping from the Tappan Zee Bridge Sunday by a motorist.
"The (bridge) phones are the last attempt to intercede," said John Bellucci, the Bridge Authority's director of planning and public relations. "If you just want to talk to someone or if you have a friend who needs help, the call is confidential and free."
About 80 percent of those who call suicide-prevention counselors are talked out of hurting themselves, Bellucci said.
The suicide-prevention hot line can be dialed from any phone at 800-273-TALK (8255).

TRIPS Implementation and Secondary Pharmaceutical Patenting: An Empirical Analysis: This project analyzes developing country strategies to limit the issuance of secondary patents in pharmaceuticals. Secondary patents may extend periods of exclusivity, delay generic entry, and contribute to high drug prices and reduced access to medicines. Accordingly, several developing countries have adopted policies to restrict the grants of such patents; such measures are widely promoted by analysts and international organizations alike. However, little is known about which countries are adopting what sorts of measures, and to what effect. The project develops a typology of approaches toward secondary patenting, and maps countries according to the typology. Empirical analyses focus on five countries with specific measures to limit secondary patenting and two without. The research involves assembling novel datasets of pharmaceutical patents filed in the seven countries, coding each application as primary or secondary, and examining outcomes for each application in each country. The analysis will not only generate cross-national data on grant rates for different types of drug applications, but also improve understanding of the effectiveness of different approaches to secondary patents. Quantitative analyses are complemented with case studies to reveal the social and political factors conditioning how patent policies work in practice.

Toronto transit riders can now surf the Internet using their wireless devices at a third TTC subway station, and work is underway to connect seven more transit hubs by the end of the year.
BAI Canada, working with the Toronto Transit Commission, said on Tuesday that it has switched on WiFi service at Bay Station. It joins Bloor-Yonge and St. George, the first two stations to get free, public WiFi service in December 2013.
"Thousands of riders are logging on and using TCONNECT, which provides connectivity for the Internet, social media and email, as well as access to real-time alerts and transit updates," TTC CEO Andy Byford said in a statement on Tuesday.
BAI, which also provides wireless service for transit systems in New York and Hong Kong, won a contract in December 2012 to provide WiFi service for Toronto's subway network. The company is paying the TTC $25 million for the 20-year deal and generates money from the ad content it shows before users connect to the web.
Commuters can log on to the Internet in all public areas of subway stations, including platforms, mezzanines, walkways and stairs. BAI said the second phase of their project will involve extending the cellular network in the TTC tunnels. All the work is expected to be completed in the next three to four years.
The TTC and BAI also unveiled on Tuesday when the other subway stations will be WiFi ready:

New London - The City Council's Finance Committee on Monday forwarded to the full council a resolution that would designate $925,000 from a bond ordinance approved in 2011 for improvements to Riverside Park.
The plan to improve the park is based largely on a proposal developed in 2011 by the Community Research and Design Collaborative at the University of Connecticut. To better link Winthrop Elementary Magnet School, the park and the Thames River, the plan would involve building a set of stairs from the school to the park, a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks on the riverbank and a pier to stretch out into the river.
The plan also calls for additional picnic and activity spaces within the park.
The proposal passed the committee unanimously, with the support of Council President Wade A. Hyslop and Councilor Erica Richardson. The committee's third member, Councilor Michael Passero, was absent from Monday's meeting.
"I have been through the park since the effort to save the park and I see how much more that park is being utilized and I appreciate the fact that those who voted to save the park did," Hyslop said. "It certainly shows that there is a need for a park on that end of the city."
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio voiced his support for the improvements and told the committee that the city would not bond the full $925,000 at once, but would instead bond what it needs as each phase of the plan progresses.
The early phases, he said, would include general landscaping and a better connection between the park and the Winthrop School. Later phases would include a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks and a pier into the river.
According to a debt service schedule Finance Director Jeff Smith prepared for the councilors, the city's average annual payment for the Riverside Park project would be roughly $67,000.
For each city resident, the project would cost 1 cent per week for the first year, 3 cents per week for the second year and 5 cents per week for the remaining term of the debt, Finizio wrote in an email last month to the City Council.
In an email to the mayor, City Treasurer Donna Rinehart said adding the debt to the city's budget would not require a tax rate increase of even 0.01 mills, which is the smallest change that could trigger a recalibration of the city's tax rate.
"While there is a nominal financial burden on the city to conclude this project, it is not enough to cause even the smallest tax rate increase," Finizio wrote. "At peak debt service levels, this project still costs the average New Londoner less than a penny a day."
Given that the project will not necessitate an increase in the city's tax rate and cost taxpayers less than a penny per day at most, Finizio said he believes the project "easily satisfies the test of affordability and, indeed, could be one of the best 'bangs of the buck' that I have examined in my entire time as mayor."

What is the 'Dividend Yield'
A financial ratio that indicates how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. Dividend yield is represented as a percentage and can be calculated by dividing the dollar value of dividends paid in a given year per share of stock held by the dollar value of one share of stock. The formula for calculating dividend yield may be represented as follows:
Yields for a current year are often estimated using the previous year's dividend yield or by taking the latest quarterly yield, multiplying by 4 (adjusting for seasonality) and dividing by the current share price.
As an alternative for calculating dividend yield, you can use Investopedia's own dividend yield calculator.
BREAKING DOWN 'Dividend Yield'
Dividend yield is a way to measure how much cash flow you are getting for each dollar invested in an equity position. In other words, it measures how much "bang for your buck" you are getting from dividends. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is effectively the return on investment for a stock.
To better explain the concept, refer to the following dividend yield example. Suppose company ABC's stock is trading at $20 and pays annual dividends of $1 per share to its shareholders. Also suppose that company XYZ's stock is trading at $40 and also pays annual dividends of $1 per share. This means that company ABC's dividend yield is 5% (1 / 20 = 0.05), while XYZ's dividend yield is only 2.5% (1 / 40 = 0.025). Assuming all other factors are equivalent, then, an investor looking to use his or her portfolio to supplement his or her income would likely prefer ABC's stock over that of XYZ, as it has double the dividend yield.
Investors who require a minimum stream of cash flow from their investment portfolio can secure this cash flow by investing in stocks paying relatively high, stable dividend yields. Yet, high dividends may often come at the cost of growth potential. Every dollar a company is paying in dividends to its shareholders is a dollar that company is not reinvesting in itself in an effort to make capital gains. While being paid for holding a stock is attractive to many, and for good reason, shareholders can earn high returns if the value of their stock increases while they hold it. In other words, when companies pay high dividends it may come at a cost.
For example, suppose company ABC and company XYZ are both valued at $1 billion, half of which comes from 5 million publicly held shares that are worth $100 each. Also suppose that at the end of Year 1 the two companies both earn 10% of their value, or $100 million, in revenue. Company ABC decides to pay half of these earnings ($50 million) in dividends to its shareholders, paying $10 for each share for a dividend yield of 10%. ABC also decides to reinvest the other half to make some capital gains, raising the value of the company to $1.05 billion and appeasing its income investors. Company XYZ, on the other hand, decides to issue no dividends and reinvest all of its earnings into capital gains, thereby raising XYZ's value to $1.1 billion, likely appeasing its growth investors.
If these companies continue these policies at the same rates and continue to earn 10% of their value during Year 2, investors holding shares of ABC will see even greater dividend payouts, earning $10.50 per share ($1.05B x 10% = $105M, $105M / 2 = $52.5M, $52.5M / 5M = $10.50) at the end of Year 2 for a dividend yield of 10.5%. At the end of Year 2, company ABC will be worth $1.155 billion and has continued to keep its income investors happy, but by the same time company XYZ will be worth $1.21 billion. If these policies continue, by the end of Year 3 company ABC will be worth $1.213 billion and company XYZ will be worth $1.331 billion. Both companies are growing in value exponentially, but XYZ is growing at double the speed of ABC and will reach double its original value during Year 8, whereas ABC will do so in Year 14. By the end of Year 10, ABC will be worth $1.706 billion and XYZ will be worth $2.594 billion, or 52% more than ABC. Though this example is very simplified and an unlikely situation, it illustrates the drawbacks for a company that may accompany high dividend payments.
When companies pay high dividends to their shareholders, it can indicate a variety of things about the company, such as that the company might currently be undervalued or that it is attempting to attract investors. On the other hand, if a company pays little or no dividends, it may indicate that the company is overvalued or that the company is attempting to grow its capital. Certain companies in particular industries, when they are well established and steady-earning, often have good dividend yields even though they are not undervalued. Banks and utilities often fall into this category.
While a company may pay high dividends to its shareholders for a time, this may not always be so. Companies often trim their dividend payments or stop them altogether during hard economic times or when the company is experiencing hard times of its own, so one can rarely rely on consistent dividends on a permanent basis.
One can extrapolate information about a company's dividend payments to estimate a company's future dividends, either by using the most recent annual dividend payment or by taking the most recent quarterly payment and multiplying by 4. This is often referred to as the "forward dividend yield," although one should use it with caution, as estimates of future dividend payments are inherently uncertain. One may also compare dividend payments relative to a stock's share price over the past 12 months to better understand the history of its performance, and this is often referred to as the "trailing dividend yield."

In order to achieve the starting in a given direction, the surface of the synchronous motor stator poles are according to the Laid Open German Patent Application No. 1,488,278 so constructed that a continuously decreasing air gap results between the rotor and the individual stator poles. Thus, the permanent-magnet rotor assumes a position at standstill which is slightly different from that of the rotor with current flow of a given polarity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is to provide a high efficiency electrical motor triggered by pulses and starting in a given sense of direction. This and other objects and features of the invention are pointed out in the following description in terms of the embodiment thereof which is shown in the accompanying drawing. It is to be understood, however, that the drawing is for the purpose of illustration only and is not a definition of the limits of the invention.
This problem was solved by providing the stator with at least one auxiliary magnetic pole which is so mounted that, due to the magnetic effect of one or several auxiliary magnetic poles, the rotor poles are displaced from those of the stator.
For reasons of symmetry, it is preferable to employ at least two auxiliary magnetic poles mounted diametrically opposite each other. It is even more favorable to provide the same number of auxiliary magnetic poles as there are rotor poles and to mount them equally spaced, on the stator circumference. Auxiliary magnetic poles on the stator circumference being adjacent to each other must be opposite in polarity. The one or several auxiliary magnetic poles can be obtained by applying a thin layer of permanent-magnetic material to at least a part of the rotor surface facing the stator surface, and by radial magnetization of this layer. It is preferable to provide the stator with a complete ring of permanent-magnetic material. In case 2n auxiliary magnetic poles are used, the magnetic axis of each pole lies on the angle bisector of the angle enclosed by the centerlines of two adjacent stator poles. In that case, the change in polarity in the permanent-magnetic layer lies approximately on the centerline of the stator poles.
The thin layer of permanent-magnetic material can simply be produced by spraying a permanent-magnetic powder, in particular an oxide powder, bound in thermoplastic and thermosetting compounds. In order to increase layer adhesion, the stator pole surfaces can be provided with grooves.
However, it is also possible to mount the one or several auxiliary magnetic poles on one or both lateral faces of the stator, that is, on the surface (top view) shown in FIG. 1 and/or on the opposite surface of the stator (1). As for distribution and mounting of said poles, similar design considerations are applicable as above. It is important that the auxiliary magnetic poles are mounted to hold the rotor at stand-still in a position in which each rotor magnet axis does not coincide with the mid-vertical of a stator pole, but is displaced from it.
Preferably, the stator is provided with 2n stator poles and the stator winding is so designed that adjacent stator poles show an opposite polarity in case of current flow. In this case, the motor can also be operated by pulses, e.g. pulses of identical polarity. To assure motor starting, the time interval of the pulses must continuously decrease during the starting phase up to normal speed in such a manner that the rotor continues to increase its motion.
For starting the motor, pulses of alternating polarity can also be applied. In that case, too, it is necessary to continuously decrease the pulse time interval. The polarity of the initial pulse determines the sense of rotation.
The electrical motor of the present invention is, for instance, suitable as a drive motor for gyro rotors. If triggering with pulses of one polarity is used, the motor is particlarly suited to drive gyro rotors to which the drive energy is transmitted in the form of a pulsemodulated high-frequency voltage, since the rectification of the motor of the present invention can very easily be carried out. In the accompanying drawing, in which certain modes of carrying out the present invention are shown for illustrative purposes:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a motor having a rotor and a stator which embodies the present invention FIG. 2 shows a pulse sequence for triggering the power source of the electrical motor.
FIG. 3a shows a schematic diagram of the controlling system.
FIG. 3b shows a schematic view of the electrical motor used for driving a gyro.
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section through a rate gyro provided with gas bearings and the modified rotor of FIG. 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The schematic representation of the embodiment in FIG. 1 provides details of the invention. The drawing shows a motor with an internal stator 1 provided with four (n 2) poles 2a through 2d. The exciting windings 3 shall be so wound that, in case of current flow, adjacent poles are of opposite magnetization. The windings are connected in parallel or series. The stator 1 is provided with a permanent-magnet layer consisting of four segments 4a through 4d. This layer is so magnetized in a radial direction that four auxiliary poles are obtained of which those being adjacent to each other are of opposite polarization as shown in the drawing by the different shading. Hereby, the permanent magnetization is so applied that the change in polarity runs along the stator pole centerline vertical to the sense of rotation i.e. the centers of the auxiliary poles are angularly offset from the centers of the poles 2. As mentioned above, the auxiliary magnetic poles can be applied by radially spraying a granular permanent-magnet material mixed with a binder compound onto the stator, and by magnetizing it thereafter to assure the above distribution.
The annular rotor consists of a ring 5, made from soft iron or a similar material, and of a second inner ring consisting of four segments 6a through 6d, which are radially magnetized representing four rotor magnets of t which the adjacent magnets are of opposite polarization. Here, too, the different magnetization is shown by two kinds of shading.
If there flows no current in the windings 3, the rotor attains its position shown in FIG. 1 or a position displaced by 180, since the inner north and south poles of the rotor magnets 6a through 6d are placed opposite the outer north or south poles of the auxiliary magnets 4a through 4d.
If a DC pulse of a given polarity is applied to the exciting windings 3 generating in the stator poles a much stronger radial field than that of the auxiliary poles 4a through M, then a torque is applied to the rotor resulting in an accelerated motion in a given direction, e.g. in the direction shown by the arrow 7, depending on the sense of winding and the pulse polarity. Before the axis of the magnet field, of the rotor magnetic poles 6a through 6d are opposite the stator poles 2b, 2c, 2d 2a, the pulse applied to the windings must terminate so that no deceleration results impeding the rotors motion.
The magnetic force of the auxiliary magnetic poles 4a through 4d has to be so small that it does not decelerate to a great extent the rotary motion of the rotor, but that the rotor continues rotating due to its inertia when the rotor magnet 6a approaches the auxiliary magnet 4b of identical polarity, and the remaining rotor magnets their corresponding auxiliary magnets. After the rotor has turned to the position where the axis of the magnetic field of the rotor poles 6a through 6d have already passed the axis of the magnetic field of the auxiliary poles 4b, 4c, 4d and 4a (slightly more then 90 compared to the position shown in FIG. 1), then the interaction of the rotor poles and the auxiliary poles results in an acceleration of the rotor. The starting circuit must be so designed that it furnishes a second pulse of identical polarity to the winding when the axis of the magnetic field of the rotor pole 6a has passed the symmetry line of the stator pole 2c (slightly after 135); the same applies to the rotor poles 6b through 6d regarding the auxiliary magnets 2d, 20 and 2b. The following pulse causes another acceleration of the rotor; the pulse must terminate before the rotor poles are again opposite the succeeding stator poles. Due to the increase in rotary speed, the following acceleration pulse must be furnished earlier than the one before and must be of shorter duration; that is, during the starting operation a pulse sequence of an increasing pulse repetition frequency and a decrease in pulse width are required until the rated speed is attained.
The exciting windings 3 are connected with a power source 8 triggered by controlling means 9. Said controlling means are well known in art and for example described in the Laid Open German Patent Application No. 1,538,057 and are producing trigger pulses as shown in FIG. 2. The pulse duty cycle (duration of pulse/time period between two pulses) during the starting operation is 0.25. If the windings are excited with different polarity torques would act on the rotor after each quarter revolution of the rotor.
In the schematic diagramm of FIG. 3a the electrical motor 32 is coupled with a position transducer or indicator 33 for scanning the position of the rotor. This position transducer is one of well known art with inductive or capacitive means for instance. A very favorable embodiment with photo-electrical means will be described later on. The position indicator is producing signals in dependence of the position of the rotor, which signals are fed to controlling means 30. Said controlling means are needed to trigger a power source 31, so that the speed of the motor 32 is controlled by pulse width modulation. Said signals can be needed also for controlling the amplitude of a DC voltage produced by said power source 31. Besides the starting also the running operation of the motor can be controlled by said means.
FIG. 3b shows a schematic view of the electrical motor used for dirving a gyro. Controlling means 45 are triggering a generator 44 for producing a pulse modulated high-frequency voltage. Furthermore a gyroscope comprising a pivotally mounted gimbal 37 provided with the rotor 35 and stator 36 of an electrical motor. Said gimbal is pivotally mounted about the axis 39 in another gimbal or the housing 38 of the gyro. The gimbal 37 and the housing 38 are provided with transmission means for transmitting said high-frequency voltage to the gimbal 37 and stator 36 of the motor without any contact between the housing 38 and the gimbal 37. Such transmission means are well known in art and are comprising inductive or capacitive means. In the published German Patent Application (DAS) No. 1,274,803said means are discribed in detail. The rectifier 42 rectifies the high frequency voltage in a pulsed direct current voltage and feeds that voltage to the stator 36. Controlling means may be provided with a position transducer as shown in FIG. 3a.
FIG. 4 shows the motor of the present invention used as a drive motor of a rate gyro comprising a gas bearing. The stator 1 of the motor is mounted on a motor bearing support 10 which is fixed to the cylindrical sleeve 11 by means of an annular disk 12. The cylindrical sleeve 11 in conjunction with the air-feed sleeve 13 forms a static gas bearing whereby the gas supply takes place via an inlet piece 14, an annular channel 15 and nozzles 16 equally spaced on the circumference of the annular channel.
The gimbal of the gyro comprising the sleeve 13 and the motor bearing support 10 is pivoted about the elevation axis 19 with regard to the rate gyro housing which comprises the thrust plates 17 and 18. The outer surface of the rotor 5 is provided with markings 20. One marking located diametrically opposite the one shown in the drawing is covered by the motor bearing support.
The markings 20 are so prepared that they absorb the light from a light source while the the rotor surface between the markings reflects it. Very close to the elevation axis, there are photo conductive means for instance the glass fibers 21a and 21b on the annular disk 12 which is fixed to the motor bearing support 10. A light source 22 and an photoelectric transducer 23, for instance a photo cell, are mounted on the ring 24. With this arrangement, the light emitted by the light source 22 is directed to one end of the glass fibers 21a and is transmitted to the rotor surface through the glass fibers. If the rotor is in a position at which the light beam strikes a marking 20, the light is absorbed. However, if the rotor has assumed a position at which no marking is opposite the glass fibers 21a, the light is reflected and transmitted through the glass fibers 21b to the photoelectric transducer 23. Thus, the position transducer, comprising the light source 22, photoelectric transducer 23, glass fibers 21a and 21b and the markings 20,
generates the electrical signals depending on the rotor position without generating undesirable torques about the elevation axis 19. With the above rate gyro, this fact is of vital significance since undesirable torques about the elevation axis 19, also called the sensitive axis, would considerably decrease the rate gyros accuracy.
The motor bearing support is also equipped with coils 25 which in conjunction with the magnets 26 and the coils 27 result in a combination of torquer and position transducer. The magnets 26 and the coils 27 are mounted on a plate which is part of the gyro housing. The above torquer and position transducer are described in detail in the German Laid Open Patent Application No. 1,807,477 and are of no significance as to the present invention. Two covers 28 and '29 enclose the above rate gyro.
The invention may be carried out in other specific ways than those herein set forth without departing from the spirit and the essential characteristics of the invention, and the present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.

Our real plan was to keep the family away from the baby until we could get before a judge to severe parental rights. The family forced their way into the court process. With the GAL's insistence the judge ordered a best interest exam (BIE). Two family members and the foster family went through the BIE. CPS and GAL believed best interest lied with the foster family whom has had the child for one year. the Psychologist not only ranked the persons 1 thru 3, 1 being the best choice for placement of the baby and 3 being the last option she also made recommendations.
In this case, not only was the foster parent picked last, it was stated that this family would be a good structured home for a child in crisis but not long term. The child in question has been with this family long term and still remains with this foster family. I do not believe the child is safe with this foster family. The psychologist's observations and discussion with the foster mom were disturbing. I do not understand why the child has not been removed form this home nor why this foster family with obvious problems and issues bordering on child abuse are allowed to continue to foster children. Certification should be revoked, no adoptions should be allowed.
Who will save this child? Who is monitoring these private companies who are approving unsafe families and unstable persons like Erin & David to care for foster children. We need greater checks and balances!

It sounds as if the judge picked the family last. So perhaps there is hope in that the judge will see that your office kept this child from the family.
What concerns me the most is that YOU have just broken the confidentiality of this case wide open all over the world wide web and that is a huge NO NO. Your office will see this at some point so I hope you will be prepared for the repercusions of your actions. There was no reason to give the first names of the foster family on this post where it can not be taken down. This should have been handled in your office from the very beginning. I do not understand why you had to come here and blow the confidentialty of this case. You know being a case worker how serious that is. While I believe that there are serious issues in this case I believe your office and you should have dealt with this from the very beginning. Your job is to protect children.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Vt. lawmakers to hold hearing on land tax changesJanuary 28,2014
Hearing set on
land tax changes
Vermont lawmakers are set to hold a public hearing on changes to the states system of taxing some properties according to how theyre used, rather than fair market value.
Vermont for decades has had a program designed to charge lower property taxes for people who own farm and forest land, in contrast to what they would pay if the land were considered ripe for development.
The bill would lower the tax landowners have to pay when they withdraw from the program. Its currently set at 20 percent of the propertys full fair market value.

"The evidence in favour of an afterlife is vast and varied. The evidence from near-death experiences and deathbed visions was described in two previous books by Chris Carter. Science and the Afterlife is the final work of his trilogy, and one will see in this wonderful book that we do indeed have strongly repeatable evidence for the continuity of consciousness after physical death, based on children who remember previous lives, reports of apparitions, and communication from the deceased. What all these cases show is that human personality survives death and, by implication, human consciousness can exist independently of a functioning brain. When one has read the overwhelming evidence as described in this excellent book it seems quite impossible not to be convinced that there should be some form of life after death. Any continuing opposition to the evidence is based on nothing more than willful ignorance or ideology. Highly recommended." (Pim van Lommel, MD, Cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life)
"Chris Carter's Science and the Afterlife Experience is a vigorous, detailed exploration of survival following physical death. It is a withering rebuttal of the perennial, timeworn, anemic arguments of skeptics. This book is extraordinarily important-for, as Jung said, 'The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life.' This brilliant book is an antidote to the fear of death and annihilation. It will help any reader find greater meaning, hope, and fulfillment in life." (Larry Dossey, M.D., author of The Power of Premonitions and the New York Times bestseller, Healing W)
"…evidence that consciousness survives bodily death is overwhelming for those with open minds. Chris Carter has presented some of the best evidence offered by the near-death experience. In this book, he astutely examines impressive and irrefutable evidence coming to us from the study of reincarnation, apparitions, and mediumship. It's informative, interesting, intriguing, and inspirational." (Michael Tymn, author of The Afterlife Revealed and The Afterlife Explorers)
"This clearly written book, by one of the world's few experts on what evidence actually bears on the survival question, points to some kind of survival. If that fact doesn't grab your attention and make you want to know more – you're not thinking." (Charles Tart PhD., Professor Emeritus of Psychology University of California, Davis; a Senior)
"The third volume of Chris Carter's trilogy may be the best. Reincarnation, ghostlike visions, and messages from the dead make for some very stimulating reading. As an historical chronicle alone this would be a valuable work. But Carter's historical treatment also combines philosophy and analysis into an always interesting and well–organized treatise." (Robert Bobrow, M.D., Clinical Associate Professor of Family Medicine, Department of Family Medicine,)
"'Survival of human consciousness past the point of biological death is a fact.' That will seem an extraordinary claim to some, and they may reasonably demand extraordinary evidence to support it. Carter has both made the claim and provided the evidence." (Guy Lyon Playfair, author of This House is Haunted, If This Be Magic, and Twin Telepathy)
"Scientists and philosophers who have seriously studied the phenomenon of mediumship have concluded that there are only two hypotheses that, if true, would account for all the observed empirical data: either (i) human consciousness survives the death of its body or (ii) human consciousness possesses extraordinary abilities known as super–ESP. In Science and the Afterlife Experience, Chris Carter presents the data supporting survival with remarkable clarity and shows that the so–called "super–ESP" hypothesis is pseudo–science, and that its "purpose" is not to advance knowledge but rather to block an otherwise straight–forward inference from empirical data to the hypothesis of survival. With the "super–ESP" hypothesis disposed of, Carter boldly (and correctly, in my opinion) concludes that the survival of consciousness after the death of the body is a scientific fact, as well established as any other scientific fact." (Neal Grossman, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Illinois at Chicago)
"Addiction to the materialistic paradigm has wreaked immense havoc upon the world over the last few centuries. Many believe it has brought us to the brink of an apocalypse. Chris Carter opens this marvelous book with a statement of concurrence with philosopher David Griffen on the current dire predicament wrought by this addiction, and how it has reached a crucial juncture. Coming to know that our souls do not die with our bodies but they have a much grander role on the stage of eternity, offers a glorious reprieve from this ignominious fate that is the inevitable result of limited materialistic beliefs. This book proceeds through a detailed review of reincarnation, apparitions and messages from the dead. In my opinion, he establishes the existence of the afterlife beyond a reasonable doubt. I congratulate him on such a solid synthesis of the relevant data and arguments, both for and against." (Eben Alexander III, M.D., Director of Research, The Monroe Institute, Faber, VA, author of Proof of)
"Those who think they already know the answers don't need to waste their time with this book. For the rest of us, it is a gem. We should drop the pretense that the question of survival is not worthy of the attention of really smart people. It is and always has been the key question of humans throughout history. Thank you, Chris Carter, for shedding light on this, the Greatest Question." (Larry Dossey, MD., author of The Power of Premonitions and Reinventing Medicine)
"[Chris Carter] presents something for everyone in a finely researched package that comes to its conclusions in a way that utilizes the scientific method." (Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn, January 2013)
"An intriguing dissection of consciousness and what it means to the history of our lives and world, Science and the Afterlife Experience is a strong addition to metaphysical spirituality collections, recommended." (Midwest Book Review, March 2013)
"Carter has seemingly touched all the bases in thoroughly and effectively examining the evidence for life after death." (Michael Tymn s., Fate Magazine, June 2013)
From the Back Cover
"When one has read the overwhelming evidence as described in this excellent book, it seems quite impossible not to be convinced that there should be some form of life after death. Highly recommended."
--Pim Van Lommel, M.D., cardiologist and author of Consciousness beyond Life
"This brilliant book is an antidote to the fear of death and annihilation. It will help any reader find greater meaning, hope, and fulfillment in life."
--Larry Dossey, M.D., author of The Power of Premonitions and the New York Times bestseller Healing Words
In this book Chris Carter shows that evidence of life beyond death exists and has been around for millennia, predating any organized religion. Focusing on three key phenomena--reincarnation, apparitions, and communications from the dead--Carter reveals 125 years of documented scientific studies by independent researchers and the British and American Societies for Psychical Research that rule out hoaxes, fraud, and hallucinations and prove these afterlife phenomena are real.
The author examines historic and modern accounts of detailed past-life memories, visits from the deceased, and communications with the dead via medium and automatic writing as well as the scientific methods used to confirm these experiences. He explains how these findings on the afterlife have been ignored and denied because they are incompatible with the prevailing doctrine of materialism. Sharing messages describing the afterlife from the dead themselves, Carter reveals how consciousness exists outside the parameters of biological evolution and emerges through the medium of the brain to use the physical world as a springboard for growth. After death, souls can advance to higher planes of consciousness or manifest once again on Earth. Carter's rigorous argument proves--beyond any reasonable doubt--that consciousness not only survives death and continues in the afterlife but also that it precedes birth as well.
CHRIS CARTER received his undergraduate and master's degrees from the University of Oxford. The author of Science and the Near-Death Experience and Science and Psychic Phenomena, he is originally from Canada and currently teaches internationally.

Today I want to bring you by 6 steps to rediscovering yourself in a couple of weeks. This is very powerful and extremely effective. I've seen it work with all my private clients, and there's no exception to that rule.
Step #1 – Diet for quick weight loss
You can lose weight in two weeks without being starved, including supplements and removing entire food group, like carbohydrate or protein. All you need to do is make small exercises. Here are some diets that you might follow.
Step #2 – Drink plenty of water
Fruit smoothie and energy drinks have 100 calories; but they are not equal to 100 calories of food. Other liquids which contain carbohydrates and sodium retain water. Water has zero calories and no sodium.
So, this is the perfect drink to get slim. Water removes extra water weight from the body and increases metabolism. You can make water a little tastier by adding mint leaves or lemon wedges.
Step #3 – Say no to white bread and pasta
Not eating any white grain food, like white rice, sandwich rolls, pasta, etc. will make you slim immediately. The carbohydrates in these foods cause your belly area to swell. These carbohydrates get digested quickly and so you become hungry quickly and start eating again.
You can substitute these white grain foods for vegetables. For example, have chicken sandwich instead of chicken salad. The carbohydrates in vegetables get digested slowly and so you will not be hungry soon.
Step #4 – No junk food
Cut off junk food completely from your diet. Don't eat fatty food that has high sugar content. Avoid any food battered, covered with chocolate, fried, etc.
Step #5 – Eat negative calorie foods
These foods take lot of time to digest and so you actually burn calories while eating. Vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, onion, spinach, green beans, garlic, beet root, asparagus, etc. are negative calorie foods.
Step #6 – Eat leaner proteins and more vegetables
Avoid beef and pork, and eat more chicken or fish. Include vegetables, except potatoes, in you every meal.
Follow these tips and you will see that you have lost quite a few pounds by the end of second week. This is not as complicated as it may seem… And what really matters is that this process works! Every-single-time!! Do this, without skipping any step and let me know what kind of process you see in yourself.
