AVE is capable of producing situationally appropriate brain wave frequencies through the process of entrainment (the tendency of physiological processes to mirror environmental stimuli). AVE also increases cerebral blood flow (blood flow in the brain) and increases the metabolization of glucose in the brain for improved functioning of the neurons. The combined outcome of these processes is improved mental performance. It is an effective, inexpensive alternative therapy for many disorders such as anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), PTSD, Fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Our AVE devices are also used successfully to boost physical performance for athletes, academic performance for students and cognitive performance for seniors.
Meditation enhancement: There are several companies that sell brainwave entrainment sessions specifically designed to enhance meditation. The sounds provide a stimuli to focus on during the meditation, and the brain waves naturally shift towards the frequency provided. Whether meditation is actually enhanced by brainwave entrainment is a subject of debate. However, advanced meditators commonly experience brainwave synchronization – which the right and left hemispheres display the same frequency brain waves. While there are scientific benefits of meditation, it is unclear as to whether they are enhanced, hindered, or unaffected by adjunctive brainwave entrainment.
3) Theta waves – these waves exist between 4 and 7 Hz. This state is commonly referred to as the dream or "twilight" state. Theta is associated with learning, memory, REM sleep and dreaming. Memory development is also enhanced while in this state. When in a theta brainwave state, memory is improved (especially long-term memory), and access to unconscious material, insights and creative ideas is increased.
You also may find that after pushing yourself really hard, now you have pushed yourself a little too much, and you're getting into overwhelm. You may want to ride that overwhelm like a wave to where it's pushing you just a little bit, but not so much that it will push you over the edge and have you take a dive. So, maybe on Saturday, after pushing hard all week, you might decide to put on the releasing tracks. In this way, you can still experience a very deep and blissful meditation, but without all the push from the carrier frequencies and the biofield amplitude.
Altered states of consciousness: In as early as 1987 it was discovered that photic stimulation at specific frequencies produced an altered state of consciousness. An extremely small study with just 4 individuals involved photic stimulation at 6 Hz, 10 Hz, and 18 Hz. The results were reported to have altered their conscious awareness. This really isn't that surprising to anyone that's used brainwave entrainment therapy.
The main gist of brainwave entrainment audios, without getting too technical here, is that they effortlessly guide one's brain (when listened to with stereo headphones) into a specifically targeted state, as designated by the creator of the audio. They are able to alter your brainwave states through the use of specific audio frequencies, and specific beats-the most common of which being binaural beats (though there are other types of beats being used as well). When one frequency is played into one ear- let's say 1115 Hz- and a slightly different frequency is played into the other-say 1125 Hz- the brain is forced to reconcile the two, and creates its own "phantom" frequency that is the difference between the two- in this case 10 Hz. Not only does this allow the brain to be led into specific brainwave states, but it also allows the two hemispheres of the brain to synchronize with each other, stimulating and promoting whole-brain functioning.
Thanks for making Brain Wave the Top Selling Brainwave Entrainment app in the App Store! * The main focus of this update is the Landscape UI for iPad * Note: Headphones/Earbuds are Required for Binaural Tones to be Effective as the Left Ear and Right Ear Audio must be isolated for the Brain to perceive the inaudible low-frequency difference between the two sides.
Please feel free to browse through the reviews in the navigation bar, as I have personally tested each and every product listed for an extended amount of time. Also, do check out the brainwave entrainment audios and bundles we offer as well. Only the best products have even been able to make it onto this site. Rest assured that the products you are reading up are the "cream of the crop" as far as brainwave entrainment audio quality, and overall effectiveness.
"Binaural beats are not very noticeable because the modulation depth (the difference between loud and quiet) is 3 db, a two-to-one ratio. (Isochronic tones and mono beats easily have 50 db difference between loud and quiet, which is a 100,00-to-1 ratio). This means that binaural beats are unlikely to produce an significant entrainment because they don't activate the thalamus."
That is very interesting to hear. I have also been an avid user of Holosync for long periods of my life. Were you progressing through the levels? I do know that Holosync in particular is designed for each level to push the brain to grow a "tolerance" to its effects. Once this happens the brain and nervous system has reached a new level of resiliency and is ready for the next level of the program, where the carrier frequencies are lower and more profound effects begin again. Was this the case for you? If Holosync was not your bag, you may also consider trying out some of the newer brainwave entrainment products with isochronic tones and monaural beats (holosync only uses binaural beats) as many have reported that they work better for them.
If you've heard of or used other brainwaves entrainment such as Holosync®, Hemi-Sync®, Brainsync®, Brainwave Generator, Awakened Mind System, NeuroProgrammer™, LifeFlow™, The Morry Method™, Brain Evolution System™, Perfect Meditation, EquiSync® or iNet™, it is important to understand that NeuralSync™ is significantly different and superior to all of them. It is light years beyond traditional sound therapy like binaural beats, isochronic tones or typical meditation programs.
With brain wave entrainment technology, changing brain wave states is an instantaneous and effortless process. The 'periodic stimulus' can be sound, vibrations and/or light. We have found that we get the best results with blinking lights which are experienced through closed eyelids. This is only problematic for people with existing diagnosis of photo-induced epilepsy, as blinking lights can induce a seizure in them. The programs are enhanced with Deepak Chopra doing the narration along with holographic sound effects and original music composed and performed by Rudy Tanzi.
In simplest form, they are an audio technology which are used for (safe) brainwave entrainment. Our subconscious mind operates, throughout the day and night, in various brainwave state frequencies, measured in cycles per second (Hz) These frequencies range from the slowest (Delta) frequencies experienced in deep, dreamless sleep and in deep meditation where your conscious-awareness is fully detached, to the fastest (Gamma) frequencies associated to stimulating flow states, high-level thinking and information processing. There are actually 5 known brainwave state frequencies each having their own set of unique characteristics:
A few months ago I decided to test the ability of the "Equisync II" brainwaves therapy combined with other more traditional self-improvement programs and the results have been even more amazing to me. Currently in my mind I honestly believe this type of therapy can be a breakthrough, or simply the genesis of a new type of therapeutic techniques to correct several psychological, and behavioral human issues including depression, lack of organization, and self-esteem among many, many other possibilities.
This is the slowest band of waves that our brains produce and they occur when we are in deep, dreamless sleep. These waves are very beneficial for the body which restores and heals itself when in this state. The delta state releases anti-aging hormones, including melatonin and DHEA. Human growth hormone (HGH) is another anti-aging hormone that is increased when delta brainwaves are occurring inside the brain, due to the stimulation of the pituitary gland. HGH maintains the skin, bone density, cartilage, and the joints in your body as well as speeds up the healing process of joint and cartilage injuries. HGH can also help heal physical pain.
If you've used brainwave entrainment and experienced any benefits, feel free to share your experience in the comments section below. Be sure to discuss why you believe the entrainment was effective and/or whether you think it could've been a placebo effect. I've played around with the products and feel as if they are great for relaxation enhancement, inducing a temporary perceptual change (i.e. altered state of consciousness), and arousal reduction.
My voice is relaxing and relaxation is pleasurable. These mental directives soothingly lull your conscious mind into ending its internal dialogue. It is the conscious mind that does ALL of the worrying, nagging, second-guessing and basically all of the incessant mental chatter and constant inner dialogue that can keep us trapped by our own view of reality, whether these views are good for us or not.
What I really like about iAwake is their standalone offerings. They produce quite a few audio pieces that are geared toward specific brainwave targets and desired results. These individual products aren't progression - based (you can listen to whatever tracks you want whenever you want), so there's no lengthy investment of your time involved. Also they're way cheaper (around $30-$50 depending on the product). In addition to manipulating brainwaves with sound, they pride themselves on their patented Biofield tech (look them up for more info).
Hi. This article contains a lot of information about brainwave entertainment. Thanks. I have a question. I downloaded an Android app that plays isochronic tones. I like to use an Isochronic tone at 2.5Hz that is in Delta range and is supposed to help me get a deep and dreamless sleep. I use it without headphones and just keep the smartphone next to my pillow. But I do not know if I should keep the tone playing all the time while I sleep or put it on timer to shut off after some specified time. A custom timer is possible with the app. Can you please guide me.
At any rate, I am enjoying the product immensely. I'm keeping a journal in which I'm recording my thoughts & observations as well as memory and cognition scores just as a sort of completely unscientific pet project, out of curiosity. So far, I've benefited from being better rested and more focused as a result of your product and that alone is worth the price of admission but I hope to be able to show that over an extended period of time, EquiSync can also improve working memory, cognition, &etc. I'll be sure to share the data I collect with you if I get anything of statistical significance.
Miscellaneous reports have also been made about the advantages of brainwave entrainment with the reviews of numerous users stating that the it can assist in increasing sex drive. Research shows that relaxation, meditation, and good self esteem ensures normal body functions. Furthermore, the brainwave entertainment allows your body to flow in rhythm with the beats therefore if your brain accepts and blends with certain frequencies, this could account for the enhanced sex drive.
So how's that novel coming? Your new song? What about that program you were going to write? Or the website you wanted to build? If your creative project, no matter what it is, isn't coming along as smoothly or as quickly as you'd hoped, you're not alone. After a lot of soul-searching, research, and banging my head against the wall, I've learned a lot about creative flow, and I'd like to share these tools, tactics, and insights with you. But back to where we started... It's not that you didn't … [Read more...]
Isochronic tones work by influencing your brainwave activity and they can't directly affect the body. That said, the brain does control the body, so sensations and feelings can sometimes be felt in the body after stimulating your brainwave activity. Some people who are new listeners of this type of audio can sometimes feel tingling sensations in their body. Not everyone feels this and these sensations usually stop once you get more used to using the audios. Isochronic tones are considered as a safe technology. However, sometimes they can leave you feeling temporarily fatigued, especially if you listen to them for an extended period (hours) when you first start using them. If you felt fatigued, I would recommend using them for a much shorter period while you are getting used to them and ensure you are well-hydrated.

I plan on getting the cds for myself, once I get to working, and seeing if they will help me with my problems caused by [condition removed]. But, if you had seen my friend before, and compared it to now you would be amazed.
The reason I am telling you this is to consider that it is critical for you to seek advice from sources that have wide-spreading experience with brainwave entrainment. Having personally used the technology for over 13 years, in combination with many other more 'traditional' methods such as yoga, meditation, visualizations, positive affirmations, NLP, etc., I believe that my personal experiences and the in-depth research I have conducted in order to make sure I approach this safely, can serve as a good starting point for you.
Hi i'm just writing to let you all know that your Equisync CD's are amazing! Just last night i was meditating to "Equisync II". The one that has mostly theta binaural beats in it. I gotta tell you i have never had a meditation like i experienced with this CD. At certain points during the meditation it felt like my whole damn body was vibrating! That very night when i went to sleep I also had lucid dreams! It was so relaxing! I've tried "Equisync I" too, that one is amazing as well! I haven't tried "Equisync III" yet. I can only imagine what that is going to be like!
At any rate, I am enjoying the product immensely. I'm keeping a journal in which I'm recording my thoughts & observations as well as memory and cognition scores just as a sort of completely unscientific pet project, out of curiosity. So far, I've benefited from being better rested and more focused as a result of your product and that alone is worth the price of admission but I hope to be able to show that over an extended period of time, EquiSync can also improve working memory, cognition, &etc. I'll be sure to share the data I collect with you if I get anything of statistical significance.
I have seen 1.5Hz being linked to HGH, but also 4 or 5 other frequencies as well, so it's difficult to know what may work if any. I haven't seen any research relating to HGH and brainwave entrainment. It's widely believed that 40Hz is the limit for achieving a brainwave entrainment effect, which is also where many believe the gamma frequency range begins. Once you get over 40Hz into gamma your brainwave activity isn't likely to stay in sync with it. So from a brainwave entrainment perspective, I recommend high beta frequencies for increasing energy during workouts.
Basically, the brain produces a phenomenon that results in low-frequency pulsations in the amplitude (volume) and sound localization of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a person's ears, using stereo headphones. A beating tone will be perceived, as if the two tones mixed naturally, out of the brain. The frequencies of the tones must be below 1,000 hertz for the beating to be noticeable. The difference between the two frequencies must be small (less than or equal to 30 Hz) for the effect to occur; otherwise, the two tones will be heard separately, and no beat will be perceived.
So, you have read a little bit about brainwave entrainment and this technology's purported near-miraculous effects on one's body and mind. If you've browsed my site a little bit, you may have also explored the Brainwave Entrainment Studies (real life stories and research) and the scientific evidence behind this technology. You may have also read about the side effects associated with BWE.
Two people with ADHD for example could have completely different ADHD subtypes. One could have inattentiveness as the primary symptom as a result of high theta waves, and the other could have high beta-2 waves as feel hyperactive. While generalized entrainment protocols should be studied, it is important to consider that each person may respond differently to the protocols; each person has a unique neural footprint.
It's like gaining a new level of clarity... understanding.... wisdom. When you're able to artistically and logically render solutions to problems... when you can objectively and subjectively evaluate opportunities and their innate qualities... when you can read people and empathetically understand them... you're given a foresight that others simply lack.
Hemispheric synchronization: Whether it's optimal or suboptimal to operate in a state of hemispheric synchronization remains unknown. Some speculate there are numerous benefits of brain waves operating in "sync" as a result of entrainment. There may be an increased communication between the right and left hemisphere of the brain – which could improve certain functions. However, it is also important to realize that increased hemispheric synchronization may not be as beneficial as many have speculated.
It is important to take an objective look at published scientific evidence to determine whether brainwave entrainment is an effective treatment for certain conditions and/or symptoms. Most preliminary evidence suggests that while the technology will not cure any condition, it may be a successful adjunct treatment when used carefully with the proper protocol.

It is a good idea to follow any instructions outlined by the makers of any type of brainwave entrainment product or program, and to ease yourself carefully into using it. If experiencing any negative side effects, take a break and come back to it later. Brainwave entrainment audios are not recommended for children under the age of 18, and should not be used while driving or operating heavy machinery.
The benefits of brainwave entrainment have been debated by numerous experts and, after multiple sessions of observation, the following effects were identified. First, the beats were seen to assist in meditation with the use of low frequencies such as Alpha, Delta and Theta, triggering a sense of relaxation that ultimately allows undisturbed meditation.
Participating in this program requires that you use your Holosync® soundtracks (!)—which takes some time. Though you're free to do less (and progress more slowly), we suggest that you start with a half hour of listening each day, progressing to an hour a day. My bet is you'll eagerly look forward to these sessions, though, rather than seeing them as a chore.
I'm working as a consultant for a new and growing holistic wellness company. I am responsible for determining which products would be the most advantageous for both our patients and for retail sales. I have personally purchased the Equisync I CDs to test them. My daughter suffers from major anxiety. The CDs helps her to relax and be less anxious. I tried it myself one time and it was very effective at putting me into a deep meditative state. I believe that your product works and I would like the wellness company to carry Equisync for patients to use and purchase.
Brainwaves are the collective electrical signal of millions of neurons working together in a living brain, producing our sense of alertness – or lack thereof - and producing our experience of reality. As brainwaves change, so does our perception of the world and our inner perception of ourselves. By learning to control our brainwaves, we can achieve specific, desirable mental states, such as feeling more relaxed, less anxious, more creative, more focused, or sleepier.
Known as audio-visual brainwave entrainment, or AVE, this method involves the simultaneous flashing of light and audible, rhythmic tones using specialized equipment such as the Mind Machine. Also known as the Dream Machine or psycho-Walkman, this lightweight headset lets you experience a wide selection of audio and visual entrainment tracks while having complete mobility.

Isochronic tones work just the same in delta as they do in alpha, theta and beta and they are widely used in the brainwave entrainment community to help people sleep. Like you, I've also seen some websites saying they don't work in delta, but it's a bit like the game of Chinese Whispers, where someone makes a comment and then after it gets passed around and shared a lot the message gets distorted and appears to be a fact. I don't know of any scientific reason why they wouldn't work in delta. I remember some people talking about this on a brainwave entrainment forum many years ago. They were saying they found isochronic tones a bit too abrupt for using to help them sleep and they preferred binaural beats, as they thought they were a more soothing sound. That was just a personal preference shared by a couple of prominent forum members at the time and some people then took that as a fact for everyone. That's where I think that belief originated from.

For some people fashion comes first earlier than consolation, but infrequently, it is advisable to give your toes a break by wearing comfy shoes instead. Flip flops are more fashionable than ever. The entire family loves the benefit and luxury of these casual sneakers. Styles vary from the normal plain thonged footwear to flip flops that sport flowers, beads and other enjoyable elaborations. Some flip flops even boast a platform or heel to offer you a lift. You will discover a variety of cute appears to be like which can be often quite reasonably priced or indulge your self in designer styles.
For the web snipers, looking on eBay for new or new in box Birkenstocks (in your measurement) provide potential offers (test suggestions scores of each seller to reduce any scams). Apparently, individuals do buy used Birkenstocks even with the issue of the earlier proprietor molding in the shape of their ft within the cork footbed.
The corporate's historic roots could be traced as far back as 1774. BIRKENSTOCK used the term 'footbed' way back to the 1930s, serving to to shape the best way it's used right now. BIRKENSTOCK grew to become a global participant by the late Seventies. Manufactured in Germany, the sandals are offered in ninety international locations on all 5 continents. In addition to the legendary sandals, BIRKENSTOCK also has a rising range of closed-toe, children's, and work sneakers in addition to specialist merchandise for orthopedic retailers.
Birkenstock initially came to the United States in the late Sixties when Margot Fraser first found the shoes during a spa trip in Germany. She was so impressed with the design and comfort of the sandal—she had suffered from foot ache—that she took it upon herself to carry them stateside. Although Birkenstock is carried within the United States, it took half a century for the German shoemaker to open its first retail outlet stateside. Birkenstock opened its first American retailer in New York at a hundred and twenty Spring Avenue in SoHo marked by a collaboration and installation by New York-primarily based artist Amit Greenberg particularly for the occasion. He appears to essentially get what Birkenstock is all about, and I feel he is having some fun with the model, and we're having enjoyable with him," mentioned Birkenstock Americas CEO David Kahan.

Pikachu Pokemonby Zep_To_3D_Druck Mar 29, 2016
Please Login to Comment
Printed this at 30% on a MP Select Mini 2 to go with some other models that my nieces picked out on Thingiverse. At that size, the tail was 2 layers thick or less, depending on whether I printed Pikachu standing up (slight blob by Pikachu's bottom, no tail) or flat with supports for maximum tail strength (2 layers, 1 pass thick at base).
Eventually I scaled the model so the tail thickness was at 150% and the other dimensions were at 30%. The resulting print was still pretty thin, but we were able to friction weld it to the regularly proportioned 30% size Pikachu body with success and I think that the girl who chose it will be happy.
I don't think this print would work well even at 100% on my Monoprice, though admittedly I'm a newbie. I sliced the model using Cura with 0.175 mm layers. If you have an entry level printer like mine, I'd definitely double check the layers around the tail before committing filament to the print.

The Connection Between Alpha Lipoic Acid and Diabetes
Is there are connection between Alpha Lipoic Acid and Diabetes – the answer is yes! However before we go into how Alpha Lipoic Acid can be beneficial to Diabetic individuals let's first understand what Alpha Lipoic Acid is and how it works.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant that can protect the cells within the body from damage that can be caused by free radicals. It can be taken orally or given intravenously. As with many supplements the benefits are high and with Alpha Lipoic Acid the possibility of side effects are usually rare. If side effects are present they normally surface in the form of a skin rash.
Studies have shown that Alpha Lipoic Acid has beneficial effects in the areas of preventing certain types of cell damage, restoring levels of both vitamins C and E, as well as improving the conduction and function of neurons – especially within those suffering from Diabetes. There are many other benefits to taking the supplement called Alpha Lipoic Acid as it has shown helpful in conditions such as brain function and stroke, Dementia, eye problems, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and many others.
Diabetes and Alpha Lipoic Acid
Because many Diabetic patients are also dealing with a condition called neuropathy (nerve damage), which in diabetic patients is caused from glucose levels staying too high for too long, Alpha Lipoic Acid has proven beneficial to them. Alpha Lipoic Acid has been used for years in Germany in order to treat peripheral neuropathy (commonly associated with diabetes). There have also been studies that show it may help with another condition related to diabetes called autonomic neuropathy. Autonomic neuropathy affects the nerves of the internal organs as opposed to peripheral neuropathy which affects the nerves of the body's extremities. While the treatment for neuropathy using Alpha Lipoic Acid may take a few weeks for the full effects to be seen, it has shown benefits by greatly reducing the painful symptoms that diabetic neuropathy individuals experience in regards o burning, numbness, itching, or tingling in their arms, hands, legs, and feet. This is phenomenal news for those diabetic patients who may be dealing with neuropathy. The only thing that Diabetic patients who are taking other medications for their glucose control must be aware of is that sometimes Alpha Lipoic Acid can lower their blood sugar levels; however this can be avoided when careful monitoring takes place.

As important parts of the land system,the coordinated development of land economic system and land use system was the premise of the harmonious development of land system,the situation of coordinated development had some impact on regional sustainable development. This paper used index datas of 2007,2010 and 2014 as the data source to evaluate and analyzed the coordinated development of land economy and land use in Three Gorges Reservoir Area through the coordinated development degree model. The results showed that the coordinated development of land economy and land use in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area from 2007 to 2014 was maintained a relatively stable development trend and was in a state of poor coordination. About 60% of area's coordinated development coefficients were under 0. 2. The Jiangjin District and other five regions' coefficients were in the range of 0. 2—0. 3. Chongqing,the city region had the highest coefficient,was maintained at the level of 0. 7 or more. The results would provide more reliable data and more effective recommendations for the sustainable development in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area.

Complications after teeth extraction in patients with microcirculative hemostasis disorders
In patients with platelet-vascular hemostasis disorders (thrombocytopenias) one can register cases of abundant and prolonged bleedings from alveole of extracted tooth. Such bleedings character and duration are determined by local (volume and degree of tissues injure) and general (vessels and homeostasis diseases) reasons.
Aspirin and other non-steroid anti-inflammatory medicines belong to rather widely-spread practically in all branches of medicine. That is why doctors must know further information about them. Aspirin inhibits the cyclooxygenase enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid (a cyclic fatty acid) into prostaglandins, and thereby inhibits the release reaction and consequent formation of a platelet plug. Since platelets lack nuclei and are not complete cells, they cannot regenerate new enzymes. Therefore, the enzymes remain inhibited for the life of the platelets. The ingestion of excessive amounts of aspirin can thus significantly prolong bleeding time for several days, which is why blood donors and women in the last trimester of pregnancy are advised to avoid aspirin. Sight inhibition of platelet aggregation by low doses of aspirin, however, can reduce the risk of atherosclerotic heart disease, and such a regimen is often recommended for patients diagnosed with this condition. Because aspirin inhibits prostanglandin synthesis, the production of thromboxanes, which are derived from prostaglandins, is also inhibited, resulted in reduced platelet activation. If an expectant mother ingests aspirin near the end of pregnancy, prostanglandin synthesis is inhibited, with several effects. Two of these effects are:
1) the mother experiences excessive bleeding after delivery because of decreased platelet function;
2) the baby can exhibit numerous localized hemorrhages over the surface of its body as a result of decreased platelet function.
If the quantity of ingested aspirin is large, the infant, mother, or both may die as a result of bleeding.
On the other hand, in a heart attack or stroke, platelet plugs and clots can form in vessels and be life-threatening. Studies of individuals who are at risk from the development of clots, such as people who had a previous heart attack, indicate that taking small amounts of aspirin daily can reduce the likelihood of clot formation and another heart attack. It is not currently recommended, however, that everyone should take aspirin daily.
Primary (vascular-platelet) hemostasis disorders are the reason of almost 80% of bleedings and 95% cases of thromboses.
Hemorrhagic syndrome can be present is a patient of any age. But this problem is the most actual in pediatry because significant amount of innate and acquired hemorrhagic diseases have early expression. Rate of thrombocytopathies (diseases with platelets dysfunction) are rather spread in a human population. For example, fon Willebrandt disease (innate adhesive thrombocytopathy) rate is fluctuated from 1/800 to 1/500 and is inherited by autosome-recessive way. Fon Willebrandt factor, adhesion agent, releasing is disturbed at this disease. Scientists deal this pathology with the 12th chromosome where the gene of mentioned factor is located.

Topic content
Platelets are 2 – 4 µ in diameter, volume is 6-9 mcm3; they are the smallest blood cells. They are developed from giant cells called megakaryocytes.
FIGURE 10. Platelets in blood smear.
FIGURE 11. Intact and activated (with pseudopodias) platelets
n Spherical, oval, or rod-shaped colorless bodies.
Diameter is between 2 to 4 м. They are activated in course of side surface, many (up to 10) processes are appeared in them as a result of which their diameter is increased in 5-10 times. There are integrines on platelet membrane serving as receptors. They participate in thrombocytes interaction one to another and to injured vessel. They have glycoprotein nature expressing fibrinogen, collagen, Willebrandt factor (FW) and other substances.
n When unstimulated, under Electron Microscopy they appear as:
· Flattened discs
· Having a cell membrane
· And a Cytoplasmic matrix.
· Microtubules encircle the thrombocyte just below it's surface membrane.
n Do not have nuclei.
n Can not reproduce.
n But behave functionally as whole cells.
n Cytoplasm includes active proteins such as:
· Actin.
· Myosin.
· Thrombasthenin.
n Cell Organelles in thrombocytes include:
· Lysosomal granules.
· Dense bodies: about 50 – 100 in number.
· Mitochondria & Enzyme systems which produce:
· Enzyme systems producing:
1) Prostaglandins – Local hormones.
· Fine Glycogen granules.
n Microvesicles.
n Microtubules.
n Filaments.
n Granules.
n Internal Membranous systems:
· Open Canalicular System:
1) Sponge-like invaginations
2) Provide multiple channels for:
a) Taking up Calcium ions
b) Secreting granule contents.
· Dense Tubular System:
1) Channels of S.E.R.
2) Serves as an intracellular store for Calcium ions.
· Have a half life of 8 – 12 days.
· Eliminated from circulation by the Tissue Macrophage system.
· Thrombocytes are active structures.
· About half of them are removed by the Macrophages in the Spleen.
· Platelet surface membrane has Phospho lipids, Cholesterol & Glycolipids
Platelets contain many granules with great number of biologically active substances. One can differentiate:
1) Alpha-granules – contain more than 30 proteins delt with haemostasis and other reactions:
· platelet factor 4;
· fibrinogen;
· thrombostenin and so on.
2) Dense granules – they contain biologically active substances delt with vascular tone and hemostasis:
· epinephrin;
· serotonin;
· thromboxans et al.
3) Lysosomal granules:
· kinases;
· enzymes.
Platelet number under norm is:
· in adults - 180-320 x 109/l; (boardering – 150 – 400 x 109/l);
· in new-borns - 200 x 109/l (in average – fluctuations 100-400 x 109/l);
· 7-10th days – 150-200 x 109/l;
· 14th day – like in adulthood;
· 1-5 years: boys – 217-407 x 109/l, girls – 229-553 x 109/l;
· 10-15 years: boys – 156-408 x 109/l, girls – 154-442 x 109/l;
· 16-20 years: guys – 140-392 x 109/l, girls – 154-386 x 109/l.
4 forms of platelets:
· junior – 0-0,8%;
· mature – 90,3-95,1%;
· old – 2,2-5,6%;
· degenerative – 0-0,2%;
· irritation forms – 0,8-2,3%.
Thrombocytosis (more than 500 x 109/l) - their amount increasing:
1) Physiological:
· pain (noceoceptive);
· stressogenic;
· muscular (in course of physical loading).
2) Pathological:
· spleen pathology;
· spleen removal.
Thrombocytopenia (less than 140 x 109/l) – as a rule, is pathology sign and is observed at:
· radiation disease;
· congenital blood diseases;
· acquired blood diseases.
But in women on course of menstruation period platelets amount may be reduced though they are seldom out of normal limits. But it should be mentioned that even at strong thrombocytopenia reaching up to 50 x 109/l, there is no any bleedings and women mustn't be under medication at these situations. Only when reaching critical ziphras – 25-30 x 109/l - light bleedings may occur at which treaty measures are essential. It testifies that platelets amount in blood is excessive.
1. Participation in vascular-thrombocytic and coagulational haemostasis (properly blood coagulation).
2. Angiotrophyc function – vascular walls feeding (15 per cent of all thrombocytes daily). At this function disorders: vascular wall permeability increasing and resistance decreasing.
3. Protective function:
· phagocytosis;
· contain immunoglobulins;
· lysozyme source;
· they are essential for reparation;
· cytokines source.
1. Specific:
· thrombocytopoietins;
· interleukines-3,6,7,9,11,13.
2. Non-specific:
a) hormones:
· adrenocorticothropic;
· adrenaline;
b)food products:
· nettle;
· fungus puff-ball;
c) sympathetic nervous system excitement.
Hemostasis – is the reactions complex aimed at the blood loss stopping as well as blood liquid state maintaining in vascular bed. Hemocoagulation – hemostasis system part directed to bleeding stoppage. But here we will use the term "hemostasis" in its narrow aspect – in meaning of hemocoagulation. In fact the significance of hemostasis system is much more complicated and far exceeds the limits of fighting with blood loss.
The main tasks of the hemostasis are the following: the fluid blood state storage, the transcapillary exchange, the vessel wall resistance regulation and the influence on the reparation processes and so on.
They distinguish the vessel-platelet hemostasis and blood coagulation (clotting). Speaking about the first case the question is about the blood loss stopping from the small vessels with low blood pressure; the second one is connected with the blood loss fighting at the arteries and veins rupture. Such a division is rather conditional as both at small and large vessels rupture together with the thrombocyte plug forming the blood coagulation is occurred. On the other hand such a division is very suitable for clinical practice because at the vessel-platelet hemostasis disorders the finger skin puncture (or the ear lobe) is accompanied by prolonged coagulation time whereas the bleeding time remains normal (for example at haemophilia because of normal platelet count in hemophiliac). Hemophilia is a wide-spread hereditary pathological state. It is the excessive bleeding caused by a congenital lack of a substance (plasma coagulation factor VIII, IX, X or XI) necessary for blood clotting. Treatment consists of administration of the deficient factor.
Vessel-platelet or vascular platelet hemostasis (or so-called primary one) comes to the platelet plug (or thrombus) forming.
· It can by itself stop blood loss, if the rent is small.
· Many such minute ruptures occur thousands of times every day in minute blood vessels.
· Platelets manage to plug these very well, all by themselves.

'The First Marlin - A Pioneering Game Fishing Documentary' - Premiere
Sales Have Ended
Sales Have Ended
About this Event
Eager to see the world's earliest known swordfish (marlin) capture captured on film? Interested in knowing how and who started the game fishing movement in Australia? Want to know why making fishing films in the 1930s was so difficult?
Then see this and more in the Swordfish and Tunny Club's (STC) pioneering game fishing documentary - The First Marlin.
Screening at the Art Deco inspired Sun Theatre in Yarraville, the night promises to be one to remember. This is the one and only opportunity to take a seat at the 'world premiere' and be amongst the very few to see rare and historical footage of how game fishing was done and captured back in 1934 on a big screen. As a bonus to the screening, the film presentation will be followed with a question and answer session, where you can openly chat and discuss the films findings with the cast, producers and director (And we've also just added an extra surprise to be revelled on the night).
About the film: 'The First Marlin ' is a historically aligned documentary that discusses at length an important pioneering Australian fishing film. The film discussed, made in February 1934 by a group of intrepid big game anglers, as part of an expedition to discover new fishing grounds near the port of Bermagui on the New South Wales South-east coast, formalised the birth of the Swordfish and Tunny Club. The STC is heralded as the pioneering game fishing Club that started the game fishing movement here in Australia. The film presents amazing and inspiring accounts of game fishing practises and successes from that trip, as well as aspects of life in the 1930s.
STC Club members Jim Allen (Former Compleat Angler Tackle Stores Owner), Vic Teasdale (film buff), Tim Simpson (Bluewater Boats and Sportfishing Magazine owner and editor) and game fishing historian John McIntyre delight us in dissecting parts of this ground breaking 1934 film and shedding light on the tackle, people and film equipment used and seen in the production. From Reg Lyne to Zane Grey, Bill Southam Rods to Super Marlin reels, Kodak film to Paillard Bolex cameras, no stone has been left unturned in this documentary as it dutifully explores the origins of Australian game fishing, making it a must see for historians and anglers alike.
We hope you join us for what will be a spectacular and intriguing evening of viewing and discussion. Invitation is open to the general public. We're sure the documentary will have you stepping away marvelling at the vision and keen to get back on out on the big blue to go game fishing again and recorded your own memories.

Sized UP Philosophy
For years, Wakeboarders had little time in the air to complete their tricks and the common thought was a shorter board would make it easier. As wake sizes have increased, we?ve found that a larger board delivers more pop, as the more board (surface area) you can push into the water the more energy is created pushing you into the air. Larger boards also equate to a mellower ride, making landings easier and providing a more soulful soothing ride. If you?ve been on the sidelines lately give the new Murray Pro a ride and experience what a larger deck can do for you.
Advances in board construction have reduced boards? overall weight, keeping swing weight at a minimum. This evolution means it?s time to ride a larger board, regardless of wake size, benefiting from a shape that will truly support your height, weight and shoe size.
Size up your next ride to experience the full pop and support your Hyperlite can deliver!

Commission on Appraisal Report: "Belonging: The Meaning of Membership"
(Part III) March 26, 2017 (Final Discussion)
Led by Rev. Nan Hobart
Based on pp. 77-102, "Pathways to Growth," and "Investing in Youth and Young Adults"
Overview of Previous Chapters
- Membership is a progression of identification, affiliation, and commitment
- The act of becoming a member of a congregation is an act of commitment
- Being a member is an act of incarnation – how do I embody the values of this congregation and change it even as I am being changed?
Summary of "Pathways to Growth" Chapter
- Growth here is approached mainly as bringing people in who have been on the margins
- Extra-congregational organizations (ECOs) are a way of expanding the space of Unitarian Universalism – providing the space where people can be together and practice their own religious preferences within the context of Unitarian Universalism. They include groups that focus on
- Theology
- Race and culture
- Sexual orientation and gender
- Political and economic orientation
- Camps and conferences that offer the opportunity to live with other UUs in community
- For some members the ECO rather than the congregation is the focus of UU membership. This creates a tension for those who think the congregations should be the center of the denomination
- This Commission on Appraisal report views the strengths of the ECO's in a way that is not always done within the denomination.
- Identify-based ECO's have created definite tensions within the denomination, but they have made a difference within the denomination. They allow people to consider the question of how their identity affects their participation in the denomination. "Is there a place here for people like me?"
- Not all potential members of identity groups have a need to participate in them. Rev. Nan shared her own experience of identifying as a UU Christian but never joining the UU Christian Fellowship (UUCF).
Responses to the invitation to share questions and experiences related to ECO's:
- Women's groups have been important in the history of First Unitarian Chicago. At first they met mainly during the day with evening meetings for women who worked. By 1969 when Rev. Jack Mendelsohn became minister that began to change as most women began to have jobs. "Women were beginning to stir!" The Chicago Area Fellowship for Renewal was a continental group of UU churches that had a Chicago chapter. They had a sense of outreach responsibility and put on many programs in the area. The organization, which was closely aligned with the national group, made a difference in the lives of its members and gave them the energy to keep things going.
When I joined the church there were very few other black women here. The white women in this group [two of whom were present at the discussion] were a great support to me and encouraged me to attend regional meetings. Since First Church was the only UU church in the area that had black members, I felt a responsibility to represent First U at the area meetings.
- I am a relatively new (black) member of the congregation. I have been reading "Arc of the Universe" (a history of the struggle against racism in the UUA beginning "with the passage of the racial and cultural diversity resolution at Calgary, in Canada, in 1992 and traces developments through General Assembly 2006"). I have observed that there has been a lot of separation in the denomination beginning with the Black Empowerment movement around 1968. I recently attended the convening meeting of the Black UU Organizing Collective and many of the group seemed to want to be separate. I wish to be seen and heard by the entire congregation and not in a separate group, so my question is how, as a black woman, to I fit into this. Is the black women's group at First U an ECO? Do we support all ECO's? Are there criteria?
Rev. Nan's Response: There is a lot of tension in the denomination around some of these groups, especially those that hold particular views.
- I participate in the First U black women's social group. I empathize with the desire to meet socially but not as part of the church. The group is not what it means to me to be part of the church. Some people want to be part of affinity groups, but I get more out of struggling inside the larger group for meaning. The full responsibility for being engaged is what attracted me to membership here. I do not mind telling my story in our larger groups. We have to be careful that as we support these ECO's we do not shoot ourselves in the foot. I want us to be part of a movement and to do that we need to be unified. My pathway to identity and finally membership here was through my kids. This opened me up to everyone in the congregation.
- The congregation is important. Many of us had had the need to meet in special groups. But my concern is the way in which the UUA seems to try to solidify certain points of view and in the process demonizes multi-racialists. I hope we are identified as a congregation with many paths. Our role is to build bridges.
- We should be an inclusive congregation
- My question about ECO's is do they emphasize their particular identity or their being UU's.
- At what point does an identify group become antithetical to our UU values. There is no structure asking them to account for themselves.
- I think First U has a unique situation because our theological interest groups were established as part of Rev. Nina Grey's spiritual pluralism project – as part of the congregation and not in opposition to it. I often asked whether these groups asked themselves the question "Why are we UU's instead of the theologies we are celebrating?" Also, I agree about the UUA promoting certain interest groups. I remember the year we arrived at General Assembly and found out that the only ECO the UUA was going to recognize as an affiliate organization was DRUUMM – the others had been disaffiliated. I once felt that as a lay leader I could figure out how the denomination and the congregation worked and work in it; I no longer feel that way about either.
- I am a relatively new member and not privy to much of what you are talking about, and I don't know what these various groups are. It seems only reasonable to me that we would have smaller groups to attend to people's interests. So what is the problem? [We later clarified for this member of our group that many of the organizations we were referring to were denominational groups, not necessarily First U groups. Rev. Nan clarified that the identity groups were based on commonalities about which people had no choice.]
- We are not really part of the UUA. I never knew anybody who was really interested in the UUA. It seems to me there is something strange about that.
- Since I joined I have tried to learn as much as I can about the UU's and about Black Lives in the UUA. When we came back from General Assembly we gave a forum, but it was poorly attended. Since the last General Assembly the Black UU Organizing Collective has asked the board of trustees to support it, and the board has promised $5 million (documented in the UU World) over the next couple of years. On the list of conveners, only one person had a congregational affiliation by their name.
There was a general consensus that we needed to continue this discussion.
Introduction to "Investing in Youth and Young Adults" chapter
- When asked, about half of us raised our hands that we had grown up in a church
- Question: What do we owe our youth?
- Acceptance
- Religious education
- Belonging
- Safety
- Welcoming
- Openness to difference
- There were varying opinions as to how successful we were in offering these things.
- Most churches are not successful in giving youth what we owe them. There are many reasons for this, including the many conflicts for families on Sunday mornings that keep youth from attending regularly.
- We sometimes forget the ways in which we as a congregation are special and the special things we have to offer our youth. We are more likely to keep them as UUs if we manage to involve them in the church.
- The UUA has tried to form youth societies with varying degrees of success, but they have not survived.
Comments from the group:
- The congregation reflects the overall society. Children are influenced by their peers. How do you raise a child? How do you deal with a child during puberty? It is hard to know "how tightly to hold the reins."
- Teenagers need an adult in their lives. We used to have a program of adult mentoring of Coming of Age youth. I don't know where that stands now. I didn't feel the selection of mentors was an open process. I think we need to continue this discussion
- I have experience trying to interest students in the environment. I remember when families used to come out and do things together. Now large groups of kids come, most of whom don't seem to be interested. It seems to be much more organic when families come together.
- We need to think in terms of membership. I have always thought that the culmination of the coming of age process should be an invitation to the youth to join the congregation.
- Are the children attached to each other as well as to the church?
Rev. Nan's closing comments:
- We have good connections here with RE and we should be proud of what we do. The little kids enjoy seeing each other, but people don't have the same kinds of connections as they get older as they used to.
- In my previous ministries I would have children in RE until they reached seventh grade. After that they would come to church, AND they would spend 1.5 hours with me on Thursday nights. We ate, talked, and the kids wound up participating in the church. They grew in their sense of presence and understanding, and they remained in the church. One girl skipped a major soccer match so she wouldn't miss the Thursday night meeting.
- Eventually I went through the by-laws with these groups of youth. We read the sections of the by-laws, I asked them why they thought such a thing was part of the by-laws, and then I was able to explain things that happened in the history of the church that made certain by-laws necessary. They enjoyed studying the by-laws. If they had been asked ahead of time whether they would like to study the by-laws, they probably would have declined.
- Our youth need to know they are respected and liked and then have people in the congregation spend time with them. They are so much smarter than we think they are.
- It is not enough just to ask our youth what they want to do, because they don't know all the things they might potentially become interested in.
Again, many participants hoped we would find a way to continue our conversation.

Brexit breakthrough: UK handcuffed to EU with Brussels holding the keys and Northern Ireland dependent on Dublin, says DUP's Arlene Foster
DUP leader Arlene Foster says the UK would be shackled to the EU without a clean exit and Northern Ireland dependent on Dublin should trade barriers be placed in the Irish Sea.
The UK Government has confirmed a draft agreement has been reached with the EU. Theresa May is meeting with ministers and a full Cabinet meeting is to be held on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the matter and decide next steps.
The Sun newspaper reports five senior ministers are backing the Prime Minister.
- White flags have gone up: Brexit deal a betrayal of the union and handing Dublin power over Northern Ireland - Johnson and Rees-Mogg slam draft text
It is understood the deal includes a UK-wide backstop with "specific provisions for Northern Ireland" and a review mechanism.
ITV political editor Robert Peston said the text - thought to be around 600 pages long - takes the "swimming pool" approach. With the UK in the shallow end and Northern Ireland in the deep to ensure frictionless trace on the island of Ireland.
The whole of the UK would stay in the customs union if a long-term trading relationship between the UK and EU isn't negotiated and implemented by the end of 2020.
But in addition to being in the customs union, Northern Ireland would also remain in much of the single market and be forced to follow all EU directives and laws in relation to goods flowing back and forth between NI and the ROI.
"An agreement which places new trade barriers between Northern Ireland and Great Britain will fundamentally undermine the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom. That is not acceptable," Arlene Foster said.
"Over time, such a deal will weaken the Union. No unionist Prime Minister could argue that such a deal is in the national interest."
The Prime Minister must win the support of the Cabinet and the House of Commons. Every individual vote will count. Arlene Foster
The Daily Telegraph reports Attorney General Geoffrey Cox told Cabinet Northern Ireland will be in a "different regulatory regime" under the customs backstop and "subject to EU law and institutions".
He warned ministers that the plans may "cross a line" for the DUP and those concerned about the future of the Union, adding that the decision of the Cabinet is ultimately about how much "risk they are prepared to take".
Theresa May depends on the DUP's MPs to prop up her minority government.
The Irish Cabinet is to meet on Wednesday morning to discuss the text.
Arlene Foster said that while she wanted a sensible deal that would not mean they would accept any arrangement.
"It would be democratically unacceptable for Northern Ireland trade rules to be set by Brussels. Northern Ireland would have no representation in Brussels and would be dependent on a Dublin government speaking up for our core industries.
"The withdrawal agreement is a legally binding treaty which will shape our nation for the next generation. It will bind future governments and Prime Ministers.
"Without a clean exit clause, the United Kingdom would be handcuffed to the European Union with Brussels holding the keys. At least the United Kingdom people could vote to leave the European Union.
"I am heartened by friends of the Union on both sides of the House and across the United Kingdom who have pledged to stand with the DUP in opposing a deal which weakens the Union and hands control to Brussels rather than Parliament.
"These are momentous days and the decisions being taken will have long-lasting ramifications. The Prime Minister must win the support of the Cabinet and the House of Commons. Every individual vote will count."
