Q: I'm planning to build a 1,150 square foot passive solar cabin in northern Idaho. One of the problems I've encountered is determining where my power will come from. A source of "juice" is imperative, both for convenience (at a young 60 years of age I no longer want to "rough it") and because I hope to operate a small business on the land. However, the local power company quoted me a price of from $5,000 to $6,000 to run a line the 900 yards to my site. For that kind of money, I'd rather arrange my own source of electricity!
There's no stream on my place, so water power isn't the answer and the site is hidden between two mountain ranges and protected by a mature cedar forest, making wind power a questionable alternative. We'll be operating a refrigerator, a water heater, lights, a washing machine, power tools and a water pump.
Can you suggest a solution to my energy crisis? Any alternative to the power company must, of course, be economically feasible or there's little point in doing this.
A photovoltaic or photovoltaic/generator system could be an ideal solution to your power problem. You'll want to size the generator to handle your large loads (the power tools and washing machine, for instance) and when the generator is running, you can use it to charge your battery bank. Also install a small- or medium- sized photovoltaic array. Now you may wonder why, if the generator can produce all your power and charge your batteries, photovoltaic cells are necessary at all. However, there are several excellent reasons for investing in such a setup: [1] Tax credits for the entire system (installation, design, PV equipment, battery charger, generator and inverter, etc.) can reduce the system's cost by at least 40 percent, [2] noisy, nonrenewable fuel generators require maintenance, have "down time", and can sometimes be sources of aggravation as well as power, and [3] the combination PV/generator system is an attractive way to make the transition into renewable energy production while also keeping initial costs low. Later on, you can add to the photovoltaic array and phase out the fuel guzzler.

Ernest: It's pretty depressing that this is where rock is at right now. Not even that these picks suck so much, but it's just like, the same people over and over and over.
David: Are there any other rock bands still recording?
Foster: [Sighs] I know we sound like haters, but is it hating if the thing you're actually hating on is mediocre? Like, when was the last time you heard someone—even your parents—say to you, You know what I've been listening to a lot? The [Insert One Of These Bands] album. Of all of these bands, the Black Keys record—a great record—is the only one that I even kind of give a shit about. So it should win.

|Me and BB
1. Having one is SOOOOO easy.
Looking back at one child from the view of two or more, it is easy to say that. Not long after my son was born I saw the advantages of having one instead of two (especially one who is much more self-sufficient than her newborn baby brother). It's much easier to get one dressed, fed, and ready for outings. One is easier to keep track of while on an outing. One is easier to keep entertained. There is more time to do the things I want/need to get done during the day. But, of course, as your family grows, you tend to forget what it was like the first time around.
When my daughter was born, I had no idea what I was doing most of the time. Every experience was new and I had to figure out how to handle each one in a manner that worked for our family. I read quite a few books to try to help me through various situations – weaning, solid foods, sleep scheduling, potty training. You name it, there are thousands of books to tell you the "right" way to do it. And there are plenty of conflicting ideas, as Ava Neyer pointed out.
All of the helpful advice can be overwhelming and make you feel like you're doing it wrong and you're going to screw up your child and you are so not cut out for this and on and on and on. Sometimes you end up trying it all only to find that your child does not fit any of the molds. Sometimes you will do something you swore you'd never do or that many people say is bad for the baby but it works and is saving your sanity so you go with it.
As a first time parent, EVERYTHING is a big deal. It is super important for the baby to follow the schedule to a T every single day. I know that once you find something that works, you try to hold onto it for as long as possible, which doesn't tend to be that long as babies are always changing things up, especially that first year. By the time you get a good three nap schedule down, they decide to drop one. When you are finally figuring out a good time for errands, the baby will get sick and keep you home for a few days (or a week). It's one giant guessing game.
It is so tough being a first-time parent. Experience makes the second time around A LOT better. I still am not getting everything "right" but I know (from experience) that everything is a stage that WILL pass and that really helps get me through. And, of course, I'm still continuing to experience plenty of firsts with our oldest child.
2. So, when are you having another one?
As my journey into relationships with other mothers has progressed, I have learned that there are a lot of reasons families have one child. The simplest reason is that it is what the couple has decided completes their family. But, many times, this is not the case. I have quite a few women in my circle who have had issues with pregnancy. For some, their first child was a miracle. They would love to have more, but they didn't even think they could have one. Some are in the process of trying to get pregnant a second time, but have had months, or years, of disappointment. Some women have dealt with the sorrow of one or several miscarriages before and/or after their first child. Other women had such a rough first pregnancy and/or delivery that they don't want to risk having the same, or a worse, experience.
Most of these are issues no one wants to discuss with strangers or even well-meaning friends. The question may hit a sore spot without you ever knowing. I know of one instance when I asked that question to someone who had just suffered their second miscarriage (I didn't know that until later). Since then, I have chosen to refrain from asking this question. I would caution you to also think hard before using this question as a casual conversation topic.
Do you have any additional suggestions on what not to say to a mom of one? Do you remember inappropriate or insensitive things told to you with your first or only child?

Today I was walking back to my car from an appointment. I noticed that a car had it's windows down and a mum was sitting in the car bawling her eyes out and there was a child in the back. I could have kept walking past but in my head I kept thinking that we need to check if people are ok. It also reminded me plenty of times, I was like her sitting in my car crying my eyes out suffering with depression and postnatal depression. I was also concerned about her getting home safely in that state.
So I took the courage to ask her if she was ok? She responded that she had to make some major decisions and that she had extreme anxiety. The PANDA training kicked in and I asked her how big were the decision. I shared with her that I also suffered depression and postnatal depression with my girls. She then shared with me that her doctor said she might have to spend some time in the psych ward. I remember having to make that decision and I said I spent 6 months in between the psych ward and the mother baby unit.
Although it was a 5 minute conversation, I gave her the courage to take the steps to get onto the road to recovery. For me this time was hell but I came out an even better person. I reminded her that her child needs a well mum and she deserved to take the time to get on the top of the postnatal depression.
I walked away feeling a bit nosy but knowing that I could have helped her get on the road to recovery and making the decision easier to make.
We need to take even a few minutes to ask a stranger Are You Ok?

When businesses launch a new brand, they need to protect the name from the outset. This includes registering trademarks and domain names. Often, businesses will seek to keep the name of forthcoming brands and products under wraps and therefore will need help to register domain names confidentially.
We offer a confidential registrations service, so you can rest assured that the right domains are registered but will not be publicly associated with your business until you are ready for launch. This prevents cybersquatters from purchasing relevant domain names and seeking a ransom for their transfer.

We're exhausted just looking at Thimblemill Library's November calendars. There's a calendar for adults and a calendar for children.
So much happening! What we want to know is where do they find the time to sleep!
Our highlights over November and the start of December have to be Swing Café and Radio Soop.
Get in the swing on the evening of Saturday 16th November for Thimblemill Library's Jazz Night.
Swing Café is a stylish swing/jazz band, playing well known and well loved jazz standards from
the 1920s to the 1950s. Led by female vocalist Billie, the band is made up of talented young musicians from Birmingham's Conservatoire Music College. Their authentic style and love of the music they play shines through every unique performance. They have played at numerous venues across the Midlands and beyond including jazz festivals.
Bearwood's swingsters Amelia Wallace and Joe and Kim are also on the bill.
Finding themselves plunged into a live radio broadcast with acute staff shortages, a radio repertory company are forced to come up with the sound effects for three one-act plays. Can they vocalise a death-defying car chase round the coastal paths of Cornwall? Will they pull off an alien invasion using just the contents of a handbag? Can the sound of a few sandwiches conjure up a terrifying tale of terror? As off-air mishaps collide with on-air drama, you can be sure of only one thing: the Fifties will never sound the same again!
Performing three original plays inspired by the heyday of radio, four actors provide all the voices and sound effects in an affectionate pastiche of classic genres, including a tale of intrigue and espionage, gothic horror and American science fiction. Radio Soop is an hilarious theatrical event that recreates the magic, tensions, humour and chaos of live radio.
The live theatre production is on Thimblemill Library on Thursday 5th December. Tickets only £5 per person....sooper!

While you can pick and choose the worksheets you want your students to use, you might also opt to allow them to make their own. In this computer age, many children are already adept at using the computer. Those that know how to use the computer can design their own handwriting worksheets and then work as part of a team to help others design theirs. This can be a very beneficial lesson in learning teamwork. Students with little computer experience can learn from their peers and feel that they are part of a group.

How to Drink in Moderation Rather Than Excess
People who consume only moderate levels of alcohol are less likely to develop an alcohol use disorder, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, or NIAAA. Moderate drinking levels vary based on gender. Women should limit their alcohol consumption to one drink per day while men should only have two drinks per day. Drinking in moderation rather than in excess can help to reduce your risk of chronic health issues such as liver disease, some cancers and heart disease.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Decide on your drinking goal. You should aim to consume no more than one to two drinks per day. Don't binge drink on your weekend. Women should never consume more than three drinks at one time and men should limit their drink intake to four drinks on a single day, according to NIAAA.
Step 2
Write down your drinking goal, such as "I won't consume more than four drinks in a week." Place this goal in a place where you will see it daily. This will serve as a reminder to you.
Step 3
Tell your family and friends your drinking goals. They can help support your new lifestyle and encourage you to moderate your drinking. This can also help to head off the peer pressure of friends who try to get you to drink more.
Step 4
Avoid keeping alcohol at home, which may encourage you to drink in excess without your even realizing it.
Step 5
Bring a limited amount of cash with you when you go out to clubs or bars. Don't bring credit or debit cards. This will limit your ability to purchase too many drinks.
Step 6
Drink alcohol slowly. Avoid doing shots or gulping down your beverage. Drink a glass of water in between alcoholic drinks.

ST. FRANCISVILLE — A West Feliciana Parish Police Jury committee voted 2-1 Thursday to offer a temporary solution to a dispute with the jury president's family over land bordering the old Mississippi River ferry landing.
A dispute over the land's ownership arose last year between some jurors and the heirs of the late Paul A. Lambert Sr., among them jury President Ricky Lambert.
Ricky Lambert has not participated in the jury's strategy sessions on the dispute.
Jurors John Kean and Lea Williams voted to approve the agreement offer Thursday, while Juror Mel Percy voted against it.
Both Williams and Percy, who got into a verbal spat at the meeting's end, later predicted the Lamberts will reject the jury's version of a temporary, four-month agreement.
The site, which now includes a jury-built concrete slab extending into the river, is used as a docking site for riverboats that bring tourists to St. Francisville and as a boat launch pad for fishermen and recreational boaters.
Twentieth Judicial District Judge George H. Ware Jr. suggested on March 13 that the two sides settle their dispute, which led to the Lamberts filing suit against the jury. Ware said continued litigation will pile up costs for both sides, as a variety of expert witnesses would be needed to research the claims.
The committee held its first announced meeting after apparently discussing the issues with jury attorney Gary L. Keyser in unofficial meetings. District Attorney Sam D'Aquilla recently called on the panel members to conduct their meetings in accordance with the state Open Meetings Law.
Most of the Thursday's meeting, which included a trip to the old ferry landing, was conducted in an executive session, however, as the jurors discussed the pending litigation.
When Percy later voted against the interim agreement offer, Williams expressed her disgust with him.
"You're so surprising," Williams said, adding that Percy had spoken favorably of the offer as the meeting proceeded.
"What's so surprising? I've been saying all along that I wanted to sign the old agreement," Percy replied, referring to an offer he said the Lamberts made last Friday.
Both proposals specify that the jury will provide insurance to cover the Lamberts for any liability associated with the public use of the disputed property, but the property area differs widely.
The Lamberts proposed giving access to a strip of land 40 feet wide on the west side of the old ferry landing road and a larger area, including river frontage, on the east side of the road.
The jury proposal includes an area 600 feet east of the road and north to River Road, plus all of the land between the ferry road and Bayou Sara.
Leonard Kilgore, attorney for the Lambert estate, said Thursday afternoon that he had not seen the jury's proposal and would withhold comment until he receives it.

Would you rather wait for six months for one of Scott Vincent Borba's high-definition hybrid diamond peel facials in Los Angeles or eat a cookie that makes your skin glow like a facial? If the answer isn't clear to you, let me tell you about these 'facial cookies'.

(Reuters) - U.S. Representative Martha McSally, a former Air Force combat pilot, said on Friday she would run against former sheriff Joe Arpaio, a close ally of President Donald Trump, in the race for the Republican nomination for a key Senate seat from Arizona.
The August primary contest is shaping up as the latest election to expose the divisions roiling the Republican Party, pitting the establishment-backed McSally against the bomb-throwing Arpaio.
McSally, 51, and Arpaio, 85, are expected to try to capture the insurgent appeal of Trump, a popular figure among Arizona Republicans. Both are seeking to succeed Republican Senator Jeff Flake, who announced he would not seek re-election after emerging as a leading critic of Trump within the president's own party.
Arpaio, who entered the race on Tuesday, was pardoned by Trump last year after being convicted of criminal contempt of court for refusing to obey a court order in a racial profiling case focusing on Hispanics targeted as potential illegal immigrants.
In announcing her bid, McSally told Washington Republicans in a YouTube video to "grow a set of ovaries" and said that she, like Trump, is tired of "PC politicians with their BS excuses," referring to political correctness.
"After taking on terrorists in combat, the liberals in the Senate won't scare me one bit," McSally said in the video released hours before she piloted herself to campaign events across the state in a World War Two-era plane.
McSally is widely seen as the national party's preferred nominee, much as incumbent Senator Luther Strange was backed by the party's establishment wing in the battle for the Republican nomination in a Senate special election in Alabama against hard-line evangelical Christian conservative Roy Moore.
Moore won the nomination but lost the December election to Democrat Doug Jones after being accused of sexual misconduct with girls as young as 14, costing the Republicans a Senate seat.
Political observers in Arizona said the more moderate McSally stands a far better chance of beating a Democrat in the November general election than Arpaio, the former Maricopa County sheriff known for harsh anti-immigration views. Arpaio was defeated for re-election as sheriff by a Democrat in 2016.
The winner of the Republican primary will likely face U.S. Representative Kyrsten Sinema, the Democratic front-runner. Democrats need to pick up two seats this November to wrest control of the U.S. Senate from the Republicans. Races in Arizona and Nevada are seen as their best opportunities.
Also running in the Republican primary is conservative state Senator Kelli Ward, like Arpaio a strong Trump supporter. Ward unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Arizona Senator John McCain in 2016.
Several Republican political consultants said Arpaio's prolific fundraising and strong name recognition could marginalize Ward's campaign, which has targeted the same bloc of Trump voters.
"She really has no place to raise money anymore," said Chuck Coughlin, a Republican consultant in Phoenix.
McSally, first elected to the House of Representatives in 2014, must strike a delicate balance between embracing Trump and appealing to more moderate voters, Republican strategists said. Trump has not endorsed a candidate in the race.
"The Arpaio entrance is going to pose a real conundrum for congresswoman McSally," said Stan Barnes, an Arizona Republican operative. "How much daylight is she going to put between herself and the president?"
The Arizona Democratic Party highlighted what spokesman Drew Anderson called a "long, brutal and expensive" Republican civil war. Ward's campaign has called McSally "Jeff Flake 2.0" and noted that McSally refused to endorse Trump last year.
McSally could benefit if Arpaio and Ward split the hard-line conservative vote.
"It kind of eases her path to the nomination," said Jennifer Duffy, who analyzes Senate races for the Cook Political Report in Washington. "She can sort of let Arpaio and Ward fight it out for conservatives, and she comes across as conservative but pretty reasonable."
Coughlin said Arpaio has a good shot, noting he boasts a loyal core of supporters and has never lost a Republican primary.
"Martha's got a very good story to tell: A-10 fighter pilot, a female pilot in combat, trying to get immigration reform done," Coughlin said. "But how do you get that narrative out there in the cacophony that Joe creates when he talks?"

Hey! Interested in learning a little more about me? Let's see…
My first computer was an Apple II (no plus) and I grew up watching 5 1/4″ floppies turn to 3 1/2″ floppies, which evolved into CDs and now DVDs. Don't tell anyone, but I also had a Timex Sinclair, which loaded data from cassette tapes.
My first account to access the Web was on CompuServe during the CompuServe/Prodigy/AOL wars. Funny that none of them really won that war, they spent millions of dollars building user accounts so the cable companies could sit back and rake in the dough. Early on, I was intrigued by the value of collaborative platforms and was heavily involved in BBS and list serve technologies, as well as CompuServe's internal groups.
I have been a Web developer for more than 15 years, in one way or another. It started with HTML and moved on to Javascript, ASP, .NET, and eventually PHP. My first development tool was Notepad and I built quite a few sites just using a text editor, until I found Dreamweaver. Okay…it was actually DrumBeat at that time, but I took a class in DrumBeat and was hooked. Soon DrumBeat became Dreamweaver UltraDev and I started writing books about the entire Macromedia Studio. When Macromedia was bought by Adobe and Studio became CS3, I moved on.
I spent about 7 years implementing multi-million dollar Intranet solutions including BEA's Plumtree and AquaLogic suites. I also implemented large ECM software solutions including OpenText Livelink and Perceptive Software's ImageNow products. I have moved on, however, from those big-box solutions and am a huge advocate for platforms such as WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. I love the whole concept of open source technology and am excited to help organizations (large and small) realize the ROI in ditching behemoth software solutions. IMHO, the fact that high-quality products such as Linux, Tomcat, MediaWiki, Joomla, and Drupal can be created without big corporate backing just goes to show that we don't need complex corporations to build good tools. Just a desire, skills, and connections between people.
I am not formally trained in technology, other than the handful of programming classes that I have taken in my spare time. I earned an Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish and my Juris Doctor with an emphasis in Intellectual Property. That being said, I also have 25 years of technology experience (10 of that managing development teams) so I can stand my own in a geek-off.
I have worked for a broad range of companies and clients, but in all my roles my passion has always been about employee collaboration and knowledge sharing. I have built Intranets and enterprise content management solutions for companies ranging from small community colleges to Fortune 100 companies. Currently, I'm working for a digital marketing agency helping clients define their social media strategies. Oh yeah, in between my technology jobs, I have also served my various local communities as an elected City Councilman, Acting Mayor, and Vice President of Community Development.
I'm also a certified Bungee Master. No joke.
I love to speak on topics ranging from social media to employee collaboration. If you're looking for a speaker for a conference or meetup, feel free to use the contact form to reach me. If you'd like to read a bit more about my experience or see my resume, you can see it here.
That's probably a lot more than you were looking for, but hey….ask anyone…I talk a lot. Just ask me a question about Intranets or social media and I'll go on for days. I hope you found the background helpful, let me know if there's anything I can assist with and I hope you find my articles useful.
See you on the InterWebs 😉

Baby Girl, 10 Weeks, Sexually Abused & Murdered By Dad, 24 — So Sad
This is absolutely heartbreaking. A 24-year-old Maryland father, Robert Davidson, has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing and killing his 10-week-old daughter Aleah by repeatedly dropping her and breaking her bones — she even had 34 rib fractures! He now faces up to 50 years in prison. Get all the devastating case details below.
Robert Davidson, 24, has confessed and pleaded guilty to murdering his baby daughter Aleah Thompson, 10 weeks, back in June of 2015, according to Daily Mail. The father, who now faces up to 50 years in prison, appeared in court on Nov. 28 to answer the charges of sex abuse of a minor and first-degree child abuse resulting in death. He's arranged to be sentenced in February.
And as shocking as it is, Aleah's mother, 22-year-old Lorena Thompson, had suspected that her boyfriend Robert had been hurting Aleah after she saw bruising on her daughter, but she failed to alert authorities or even protect her daughter. She didn't even take her to her two-month checkup. Lorena ended up pleading guilty to neglect of a minor in July and was sentenced to five years of probation, reported the Washington Post.

It wasn't until late August 2015, about two months after Aleah's death, that the couple was arrested. On that tragic night in June, Robert called 911 to report that his newborn baby was unresponsive and not breathing, according to a press release from the Montgomery County Police Department. He called on June, 23 at 7:18 p.m. After paramedics arrived at the family's home in Rockville, Maryland, little Aleah was rushed to a nearby hospital.
She was later airlifted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington DC, where she died from her injuries three days later. Aleah's death was ruled a homicide by the Chief Medical Examiner and was said to be caused by multiple blunt force injuries. The autopsy also revealed that the infant had suffered a broken collarbone and had 34 rib fractures in various stages of healing.
The injuries were said to be a result of what has been described as at least three "severely traumatic events." The poor child even had injuries to her head, eyes, and spine. A forensic anthropologists has concluded that the abuse started during the first two weeks of the baby's life, and the last of the incidents took place just before her death.
During interviews with authorities, Robert admitted to "committing acts that constitute sexual abuse of a child." He also said he had dropped Aleah several times in the past and "aggressively" shook her at least once on the day of the incident. However, it has not been specified why Robert was charged with sexual abuse. His attorney said cryptically in court that his client had told police he was trying to remove "mucus and other substances" from Aleah's body, but that he did not do it for sexual gratification.

Moorland Football Elite & Academy
Structured Football Programmes
Elite Football
We have 2 tiers of Football at Moorland School. The 'Elite Programme' is a scheme focused on the development and identification of children who have the potential to progress within the sport.
Moorland Elite is available to all Boys and Girls in the school.
Typically the children are training for 6 hours / week with the full array of Moorland Coaches.
The 'Elite Programme' has been running at Moorland since 2002 under the tutelage of full time coach, Charlie Jackson. Coach Jackson instigates a balanced timetable where children are taken out from non-core subjects to access the programme. With the aid of Coach Jackson and his talented team, the children are encouraged to reach their full potential, develop their football skills and improve overall fitness.
Academy Football
The 'Academy Programme' looks at developing the child who may have the potential to become a professional footballer. The most talented and gifted children are taken from the 'Elite Programme' to develop their skills further. In fact, a number of children who access the 'Academy Programme' are currently signed to football clubs, including Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Manchester United, Preston North End, Blackpool, Preston North End and Accrington Stanley.
The children are challenged by professional driven drills over a typical 8 hour week. Whilst training and playing for Moorland School the children are exposed to CAT1 Academy Clubs and Scouts.
Football excursions are planned throughout the year to allow the children to experience Premiership facilities.
The coaches also offer an introduction to sports science and sports media.
Following on from the Academy Programme the children have the opportunity to access the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports whilst playing for the Blackburn Rovers Shadow Squad.
Overall, a true development scheme to spot talent and give the greatest opportunities to progress in the world of football.

Can a Stroll in the Park Replace the Psychiatrist's Couch?
A new generation of psychologists and therapists focus on the relationship between nature and mental health
Standing alone atop a modest mountain in rural Maine, Eric Adams looked out into the darkness all around him. Between the silhouettes of boulders and trees, slivers of yellow light wandered and winked — the eyes of wild animals. Fears began to crowd his mind, but he did not push them away. This was part of his therapy.
To help confront a marriage in crisis, Adams (a pseudonym) sought counseling. But the 34-year-old lawyer from Syracuse, New York, didn't opt for the psychiatrist's couch. Instead, he chose the mountain. Adams turned to an emerging practice called ecotherapy, which applies the principles of ecopsychology — the study of how the natural world influences mental health.
"I don't have an office — all my meetings are outside regardless of the weather," said Dennis Grannis-Phoenix, an ecotherapist in Bangor, Maine who began counseling Adams in 2004. Hiking, camping, kayaking — each therapeutic session centered on an outdoor activity. Grannis-Phoenix asked Adams to climb the mountain alone as an exercise in learning to face his fears and anxieties. Instead of rationalizing his fears, Grannis-Phoenix wanted Adams to embrace them — something both therapist and patient feel is easier to learn in nature than in an office.
"Nature forces you to confront your immediate circumstances," said Adams. "Ecotherapy speaks to you not just through your analytical and verbal capabilities — your body interacts with nature." In a way, Adams said, interacting with nature is a kind of therapy for both body and mind.
He isn't alone in thinking so. In the early 1990s, when historian Theodore Roszak criticized mainstream psychology for failing to consider the relationship between mental health and natural environments, a movement called ecopsychology emerged to address exactly that. Loyal to Roszack at first, the movement developed ideas that budded in the 1960s and framed itself as a critique of Western psychology's focus on the experiment — but things are beginning to change. Some researchers are mounting a new campaign to bring the scientific method to ecopsychology and its applied practice, ecotherapy. These researchers have already founded the field's first peer-reviewed journal, Ecopsychology, and they are about to publish a book outlining their mission. The book, published by MIT Press, advocates serious study of how green spaces color psychological well-being.
"We are hoping to revitalize the field of ecopsychology," said Jolina Ruckert, a PhD candidate in developmental psychology at the University of Washington and one of the authors of the forthcoming book. "We want to bring in the more rigorous approach of the modern social sciences."
Science and Skepticism
In the past few years, some ecopsychologists have made significant strides in adding scientific rigor to their field. What their research suggests so far is that even subtle interactions with nature provide a range of cognitive benefits, including elevated mood, enhanced memory, and decreased stress. Staring out a window at pretty scenery can significantly lower one's heart rate, for example, and some studies even indicate that hospital windows with views of nature can facilitate healing. What's more, nature provides measurably greater benefits than both manmade environments and simulations of nature. Research demonstrates that walking through the city can tax our attention, whereas a park restores our concentration and can even improve our performance on tests of memory.
These findings come from controlled studies that follow the tenets of mainstream psychology. Despite the new enthusiasm for serious empirical work, many researchers in mainstream psychology remain cautious about drawing any conclusions that ecopsychological studies cannot properly support. "My impression as an outsider is that ecopsychology is a promising but preliminary field," said Scott O. Lilienfeld, a psychologist at Emory University. "I wouldn't say it's conclusive, but there are certainly many suggestions that nature may be helpful for short-term mental health. There's no question it can have positive effects on mood. I think claims that nature may be helpful are reasonable, but claims that our technological society or distance from nature are massively detrimental to mental health go beyond the current data."
The fact is that empirical work is a new trend in ecopsychology, which began as a field that wasn't interested in the experiment so much as the experience — an individual's personal experience with a natural environment.
"In the beginning, we didn't need to measure anything," said Lisa Lynch, an ecopsychology pioneer who now coordinates a masters program in the field at Antioch University in Seattle, Washington. The University of Wisconsin, Oberlin College, and Lewis & Clark College also offer graduate programs in ecopsychology.
Lynch's graduate work at Antioch is emblematic of ecopsychology's subjective origins. Like many of her emerging colleagues, Lynch drew inspiration from Roszak's 1992 The Voice of the Earth to examine how natural spaces — as distinct from urban or manmade environments — affect mental health. But her PhD thesis included no scientific research.
Instead, Lynch designed a creative thesis on the ecology and natural history of a river in Oregon where she grew up — a river in which her 11-year-old sister drowned.
"The ecopsychological element for me was to take my own story of loss and grief and look at its relationship to all these other stories — the salmon, the natives that lived on the river," Lynch said. "It was 1994 and it this was one of the earliest ecotherapy projects." She wrote a novel; she choreographed a ceremonial dance; she told her stories. But there were no controlled experiments — just experiences and anecdotes.
"My experiences are not empirical science, but for me they are extremely valid," Lynch said. A new generation of ecopsychologists disagrees. Experience, they argue, is not enough.
"Ecopsychology just didn't have the rigor needed to really understand the relationship between the natural world and mental health," said the University of Washington's Ruckert. She belongs to a new generation of ecopsychologists who are trying to establish that rigor by growing a body of empirical work.
Parks and Relaxation
According to Thomas Doherty, a clinical psychologist in Portland, Oregon and the editor of Ecopsychology, research by these second generation ecopsychologists evidences the measurable benefits of nature for both body and mind. In green spaces, for example, people's heart rates decrease, their muscles relax, and they become calmer. It's the difference you feel when you leave behind a busy city street for a peaceful park.
A recent study by Ruckert's advisor Peter Kahn confirmed these findings. First, Kahn stressed out his participants by giving them a series of math tests. Then he placed some people in front of a window overlooking a grassy lawn with trees, others in front of a large plasma television screen displaying the lawn in real time, and still others in front of a blank wall. As expected, those in front of the window experienced the quickest drop in stress levels, as measured by their decreasing heart rate. Participants also spent far more time looking out the window and at the plasma screen than at the blank wall. But the researchers found an unexpected result.
"Surprisingly, the blank wall and the plasma screen were no different in terms of stress reduction," said Ruckert. Their study indicates that gazing at an authentic natural space reduces stress, whereas a digital replica of nature soothes only as well as a boring blank wall.
Kahn, whose study appeared in the May 2008 issue of the Journal of Environmental Psychology, isn't sure why the plasma screen failed to relieve stress any better than a blank wall — but he suspects it's because people recognize even a realistic display of nature as a substitute for the real thing.
Emory's Lilienfeld thinks Kahn's study is a good example of how to design empirical ecopsychological studies, but says he won't be convinced until future studies confirm the findings. "There's a lot of interesting and provocative work, but studies need to have proper controls and some of them are starting to, I think," Lilienfeld said. "The plasma screen study is a good example, but it's still only one study. I think it's a good design, but I want to see the results replicated. I want to see there is that isn't just a general effect of relaxation, but really is specific to nature."
Focus Among the Flowers
In addition to helping us relax, authentic interactions with nature help maintain concentration, according to attention restoration theory. "Our energy to focus gets fatigued," Doherty explained. "Natural spaces restore our ability to pay attention."
In a 2008 study at the University of Michigan, Marc Berman asked some participants to memorize digits and recite them in reverse order. Then he had one group of participants walk through an arboretum, while others traveled crowded city streets. Afterwards, the subjects completed the digit task again. Those who'd strolled through the arboretum performed with higher attention and memory than those who had walked in the city. The arboretum-walkers recited an average of 1.5 digits more on their second test than on their first, compared with an average of 0.5 digits improvement for participants who had been exposed to the urban environment.
"Our study was one of the first to make it into a mainstream psychology journal," said Berman, whose study was published in Psychological Science. "We had a lot of experimental control." For example, Berman made sure his participants followed consistent paths through the arboretum and streets by monitoring their progress with GPS-enabled wristwatches. And he used standardized surveys to assess people's mood before and after their walks.
"It was one of the first times that we grounded the human relationship with nature in empirical research," said Ruckert of Berman's study. "As ecopsychology increasingly incorporates a more systematic approach, I see it emerging more in the dialogue of mainstream psychology."
Even Lisa Lynch — the ecopsychology pioneer who believes in the experience over the experiment — is excited by her field's new empirical directions. "Sometimes it was a little like Peter Kahn and I were fighting with light sabers," Lynch said. "But I think Kahn and his students are doing some excellent work looking at how can we validate these experiences through science. I think that's an important move for the field.
Ecopsychology had no peer-reviewed journal of its own until April 2009, when Mary Anne Liebert, Inc. published the first issue of Ecopsychology. Additionally, Ruckert, Peter Kahn and Patricia Habash are the co-editors of an upcoming book with MIT Press entitled Ecopsychology: Science, Totems and the Technological Species, in which around a dozen psychologists, anthropologists and biologists discuss their work and the importance of applying rigorous scientific methods to ecopsychology.
But some ecopsychologists and ecotherapists aren't so enthusiastic about the new empirical work. "For me the science is not a critical piece," said Dennis Grannis-Phoenix, the Maine ecotherapist who asked Eric Adams to hike a mountain alone at night. "I've seen the changes Eric and my patients go through and they are real."
Adams, on the other hand — who is now divorced, but lives in Bolivia to be near his children — welcomes science. "People who gravitate towards ecopsychology don't tend to have that kind of a background," Adams said. "But it's not like the scientific perspective and the ecotherapeutic perspective are at odds with each other."
For Adams, divorce was the right decision — one he reached through ecotherapy. "Rather than conform to my environment, I learned to change my conditions," Adams said. "Because nature is so much a part of who I am, something about interacting with it helps me to make these big life choices."
