What do you do?
We specialize in all the processes involved with the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) applications. Our clients are Canadian taxpayers who have disabilities that may qualify them to receive substantial refunds via the DTC and related programs.
How long does it take?
The majority of our clients receive money less than 120 days after their claim is filed.
How do I get the money? How does it come to me?
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will generally deposit the funds directly into your bank account, however you can choose to receive a physical cheque if you prefer.
Do I get the money all at once or in instalments?
Generally you will receive your money in 2-3 instalments.
Does the severity of my symptoms impact how much I can receive?
No, once you are deemed eligible for the DTC, the amount the government allocates for each tax year is the same for everyone regardless of the disability. The actual size of your refund, however can vary greatly based on other factors such as age, province of residence, marital status, your overall tax situation and the number of years in which you qualify for the DTC. We will thoroughly analyze every angle of your claim to ensure you receive the maximum available to you.
Are there any restrictions on how the money can be spent?
No. The government wants Canadians living with disabilities to enjoy a similar lifestyle to those living without disabilities. They recognize that a disability can be financially taxing so they grant these funds to help alleviate the additional expenses. However, what you do with the funds is up to you – you can purchased specialized medical equipment, pay off debt or take that long deserved vacation.
Is my information secure?
The National Benefit Authority (NBA) treats your privacy with the utmost respect. You can be confident your information will not be compromised or mistreated in any way. You can review our privacy policy here.
Why didn't my accountant tell me I qualify for so much money?
Although your accountant or tax preparation firm may be aware of the Disability Tax Credit, they do not participate in the actual approval process. At the NBA we specialize in all the medical and financial aspects of the DTC and we are directly involved in every stage of the application. We have the experience and knowledge that gives you the best opportunity for a successful claim.
What about my doctor, how come he never told me I qualify?
Doctors are there to help you physically – finances and taxes are not their area of expertise.
Can I do this myself?
You can, however applying on your own may result in an increased likelihood of rejection and even if accepted the amounts received may be far less than what you actually deserve. To ensure you give yourself the best chance of success let the experts at the National Benefit Authority work on your behalf.
Will I have to pay taxes on the money I receive?
No. The money is non-taxable.
Will this affect my future in any way?
Yes. You will have greater financial independence!
Will I still be able to get approved for OSAP or Student loans?
Yes. Any money you receive has no effect on your eligibility.
What if I owe student loans?
As long as your student loans are in good standing any funds you receive will have no impact on your loans.
Will this affect my eligibility for ODSP or similar provincial programs?
We will work with you and your family to ensure any funds you receive will have minimal impact on your ODSP eligibility.
I don't earn any income, do I qualify?
Of course. Our Benefit Specialists can obtain large amounts of money regardless of income level if you have family members who provided support. See the next FAQ.
If I don't earn sufficient income to receive the maximum amount available, am I out of luck?
Not at all. In most cases, we can claim the funds via an immediate family member such as parent, child, sibling, grandparent, aunt, uncle, son/daughter in-law, brother/sister in-law. Contact us at 1-888-389-0080 for more information.
I make a pretty decent living. Am I eligible? Maybe I make too much money to apply?
All income levels are eligible. We've successfully processed claims for Canadians at all income levels.
Can I apply for a family member?
Yes, and if the person with the disability does not have sufficient income to qualify for the full amounts then you can receive the credits directly. What you do with the money is entirely up to you. Contact us at 1-888-389-0080 for more information.
Can I claim on behalf of my child?
Yes. Not only can parents of children with disabilities apply on behalf of their children, the Canadian government grants additional amounts for children under 18. In many situations we can claim these additional amounts even if the child is now over 18. For more information call us today at 1-888-389-0080.
If the person with the disability is deceased can a family member still apply for this money?
Yes. As long as the person has been deceased for under ten years.
Does my doctor need to complete any forms?
In most cases, yes. However, there is no need to visit your doctor to inquire about eligibility prior to beginning the application process with us. We will advise you when (and if) that will be necessary.
My doctor said I won't be approved, is she right?
Not necessarily. The eligibility requirements for the Disability Tax Credit are not so clear-cut and your doctor's opinion may differ from how the CRA views your disability. We will conduct a thorough review to ensure your claim is given the best possible opportunity to succeed.
My doctor of many years has retired and my new doctor doesn't really know me, can I still apply?
Not a problem, part of what we do is communicate with your doctor on your behalf to ensures he/she understands the process and how you may be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit.
I have applied for something similar before, is it worth it for me to contact you?
Yes. Many of our clients who come to us have already received portions of this money and we are still able to get them far more by maximizing their claims.
Sounds like an amazing service, is there any cost to use The National Benefit Authority?
We don't get paid unless your application is successful.
What if I owe money to the CRA?
The CRA will first pay off your debts to the CRA and then send you any remaining balance.

Building on its "Web W/O Wires" campaign from McCann-Erickson Worldwide, New York, Motorola will launch a new mobile Internet access device during ABC's March 26 Academy Awards broadcast. The spot follows the company's Super Bowl appearance, when it debuted two well-received spots -- one for a two-way radio, the other for a Web-browsing phone.
Traditionally strong in engineering and business-to-business alliances and products, the company is out to prove the naysayers wrong with an aggressive consumer marketing bid for its hardware. Currently Motorola is No. 2 behind Nokia in wireless handset market share, both globally and in the U.S.
Motorola's 1999 ad spending weighed in at $100 million, according to Competitive Media Reporting. Geoffrey Frost, VP-consumer communications, and Nike's former marketing chief, said his budget is "significantly up" this year, but declined to specify a percentage increase.
Motorola executives remained coy about the Oscar spot, but the 60-second ad is said to involve the creation of a totally digital person. The company worked with "Titanic" director James Cameron's Digital Domain to produce it. (For a roundup of Oscar advertisers, see story on Page 40.)
"It's an attempt to create a believable person digitally," Mr. Frost said. The device, which he declined to name, can be "accessed from anywhere" and is described as a voice-driven Internet navigation product.
As a tie-in to the Oscar ad, Motorola will arrange for consumers to sample the product by visiting a dedicated Web site. Extensive Internet marketing activities are planned.
Other consumer marketing priorities revolve around advertising next-generation Web-access devices and an emphasis on new product designs with "more quirky and more intensely appealing shapes," Mr. Frost added.
Motorola recently opened design centers in Milan and Tokyo to focus on developing distinctive products that will help differentiate the brand in the marketplace.
In May, Motorola expects to launch a Web phone dubbed V. (pronounced V-dot), a wireless e-talk device for teens and tweens. A substantial promotion with wireless service providers and an advertising campaign are in the works.
The youth market is critical for Motorola. "The battlefield for this is really at the level of popular culture now," Mr. Frost said.
Motorola, like its rivals Nokia and Ericsson, is busily partnering with content providers to develop mobile commerce and data delivery via wireless handsets and other devices.
The company has nearly 20 partners such as Amazon and Yahoo!, and expects that number to grow to more than 100 in the next year or two.
"Where does the advertising stop and the content begin? . . . This is a whole new world whether you're a hardware maker, carrier or content provider," Mr. Frost said.

No Way?/
Free eBooks at Wowio. Wowio indeed. Completely trashes any other eBook etailor in terms of the design and ease of use, works with some big publishers and smacks of quality. Here's what it says if a European tries to log in:
To our international friends…
Due to variations in copyright laws and rights restrictions on many of the books on this site,WOWIO is currently only available to people living in the United States. Our long-term goal is to make all books available to everyone on the planet for free. In the meantime, we ask for your patience.
The range of books is not enough to launch Wowio in any meaningful sense. If it were to be expanded, and if Wowio were to start accepting payments, then it could become a hugely significant retail portal for eBooks. They are a business and they are in the business of giving things away so without charging its hard to see how Wowio will effectively monetize the site. It all comes down to their commitment to free information vs profit margins.
Paidcontent seems worth keeping up with. Despite the dry appearance and style it comprehensively deals with the problem raised above: monetizing websites.
Penguin have launched a new site for teenagers called Spinebreakers. Superb contemporary design, a nice concept and great range of features and functionality is let down only by the proprietary nature of the content: only Penguin books will be featured. What would be good is if we had a Spinebreakers for all teenage fiction. Perhaps this is beyond the scope of a publisher.
I suspect everyone is aware that we are currently in the midst of the Frankfurt Book Fair. Well the theme of this year's event is digitisation. Personally I find the "Web 2.0 Living Room" a bit disturbing and annoying. The first word I think of is bandwagon. What happens in the living room? Do you talk to people on the other side of the room using only facebook?
For the very keen the Institute of the Future of the Book has just started a competition trying to work out the conceptual shape, if such a thing can be said to exist, of the Really Modern Library. Companies aren't allowed to enter but this will be well worth watching (and nothing stops any of us entering as individuals).
Lastly if you haven't already heard, and you probably have, Doris Lessing has won the Nobel Prize.

Milner AirCar
Just like the flying AMC Matador in the Man With the Golden Gun, in which the villainous Scaramanga escapes from Bond, the Milner AirCar has wings that fold out at the touch of a button - handy if you see a traffic jam building ahead or you're running late for work. In normal use, these wings tuck up beside the car to allow it to drive on public roads, while the interior has full instrumentation for air and road use. You can take along passengers, too, as the AirCar has four doors and five seats. Power comes from two propeller engines that produce up to 296bhp, while a conventional engine for road use produces 39bhp and gives it a ground speed of 85mph.
The AirCar is designed by Milner Motors, who reckon the prototype you see here could be ready in production form by 2010, at a cost of $450,000.
Rinspeed sQuba
This extraordinary Concept Car created by the famous Swiss Rinspeed Design Company could have come straight out of a James Bond film. Its ability not just to drive along the road – and that on autopilot at the press of a button – but also to continue along its route through water, diving to depths of ten meters, breaks the bounds of the imagination of many people when they think of a car. Its unique bodywork, designed to echo that of the Lotus Elise cult sports car, is being complemented by a whole new world of colorful experience.
The Aptera was designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle, and later as an extended range electric vehicle. After building the proof-of-concept Mk-0, we hired the automotive design firm, 'eleven', to help us further develop the concept vehicle. The 'eleven' team, led by Jason Hill and Nathan Armstrong, made great strides in the development of the Aptera's body styling, interior design, and structural engineering. Meanwhile, we refined the Aptera's shape to maximize efficiency using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), developed and built advanced suspension and drivetrain components, and integrated a strong yet lightweight composite shell. Our entire process has been developed in-house exclusively by Aptera for the Aptera Typ-1. Our structural elements have undergone countless revisions of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to be lightweight, robust, and manufacturable.
Ford SYNus
The SYNUS is a concept car Ford Motor Company produced under the Ford brand and created by the Spanish designer Jose Parisb (exterior design) and Joe Baker (interior).
The SYNUS shares its powertrain design with the Ford Mondeo. The SYNUS' engine is a diesel powered, 16 valve, turbocharged, 2.0L DOHC 4-cylinder Duratorq TDCi Diesel engine that produces 134 horsepower (100 kW). The SYNUS has a five-speed manual transmission. Its wheels are 18 inches (457 mm) in diameter. It has an IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless LAN hub. The SYNUS débuted at the 2005 North American International Auto Show.
The SYNUS' unique features mimic the modern obsession with safety. The synus has a bullet resistant frame with bulletproof glass windows. Also, it has no rear window, but a large LCD monitor filling the back. Ford claims they built it inspired by bank vaults and that is reflected in its designed, the doors open with a vault-like wheel. Also, when in "lockdown mode" steel shutters close around the front windshield.
BMW M1 Hommage
It was thirty years ago that BMW first introduced the BMW M1 super car to the world. Now, to celebrate it's thirty year anniversary, BMW thought it would be fun to tease us all with this updated "concept" version of the original Bavarian bombshell. Originally designed by Paul Bracq and later by famed Italian design house Giugiaro, this BMW M1 Hommage takes a clearly aggressive pose, with retro features mixing it up with very modern elements. From the louvered rear window, to the 80's style badging on the rear and the conspicuous (for Germans) wheel design, the 80's are definitely in at BMW's studios and this latest version if the M1 just might raise enough eyebrows to go into production before the 80s are officially passe.
Toyota Hi-CT concept
The Hi-CT aims to offer a new "coolness" and new ways to have fun as a departure from conventional vehicles-an edgy, urban vehicle inspired by the thinking and lifestyles of youth.
* Offers a new kind of automotive "cool" and sense of enjoyment.
* Has a new look unconstrained by conventional vehicle size (length 3,330mm x width 1,695mm x height 1,780mm).
* Adopts plug-in hybrid technology, which allows it to charge from an external power source and gives it a greater driving range when running on its battery-powered motor; by placing the battery under the floor, achieves a highly efficient cabin with a higher driver position.
* Comes with an AC100V accessory socket that enables stored electricity-made possible by plug-in hybrid technology-to be used for a variety of applications.
* Features a removable rear trunk and a deck where surfboards, bicycles and other equipment can be loaded.

NEW YORK -- Debt issued by Maryland Cable Corp. was downgraded by Standard & Poor's yesterday to a bottom-tier rating with negative implications, suggesting that the troubled Prince George's County company's financial condition has deteriorated seriously.
"To date, there are no indications that Maryland Cable has been successful in effecting needed financial restructuring," Standard & Poor's said. The rating service added that even with a successful restructuring, payment of interest and principal on a $162 million subordinated note "would still be in doubt."
"I don't disagree with anything Standard & Poor's said," said John Motulsky, senior vice president of MultiVision, the Greenwich, Conn.-based operator of Maryland Cable and other cable franchises.

Aldous Huxley Quotes About FeelingsQuotes about: Feelings
It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling.
We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. [...] By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies - all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable.
In spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody. The essential substance of every thought and feeling remains incommunicable, locked up in the impenetrable strong-room of the individual soul and body. Our life is a sentence of perpetual solitary confinement.
This Power Elite directly employs several millions of the country´s working force in its factories, offices and stores, controls many millions more by lending them the money to buy its products, and, through its ownership of the media of mass communication, influences the thoughts, the feelings and the actions of virtually everybody. To parody the words of W. Churchill, never have so many been manipulated so much by few.
What a gulf between impression and expression! That's our ironic fate—to have Shakespearean feelings and (unless by some billion-to-one chance we happen to be Shakespeare) to talk about them like automobile salesmen or teen-agers or college professors. We practice alchemy in reverse—touch gold and it turns into lead; touch the pure lyrics of experience, and they turn into the verbal equivalents of tripe and hogwash.
The mockery made him feel an outsider; and feeling an outsider he behaved like one, which increased the prejudice against him and intensified the contempt and hostility aroused by his physical defects. Which in turn increased his sense of being alien and alone. A chronic fear of being slighted made him avoid his equals, made him stand, where his inferiors were concerned, self-consciously on his dignity.
Wherever we turn we find that the real obstacles to peace are human will and feeling, human convictions, prejudices, opinions. If we want to get rid of war we must get rid first of all of its psychological causes. Only when this has been done will the rulers of the nations even desire to get rid of the economic and political causes.
Real orgies are never so exciting as pornographic books. In a volume by Pierre Louys all the girls are young and their figures perfect; there's no hiccoughing or bad breath, no fatigue or boredom, no sudden recollections of unpaid bills or business letters unanswered, to interrupt the raptures. Art gives you the sensation, the thought, the feeling quite pure--chemically pure, I mean,... not morally.
"Our kingdom go" is the necessary and unavoidable corollary of 'Thy kingdom come.' For the more there is self, the less there is of God. The divine eternal fulness of life can be gained only by those who have deliberately lost the partial, separative life of craving and self-interest, of egocentric thinking, feeling, wishing, and acting.

The press is full of news about the coming U.S. initial public offering (IPO) by Chinese internet giant Alibaba ($BABA). This will be the largest IPO in U.S. history, and should raise over $21 billion from investors. Alibaba is already the world leader in B2B, B2C, and mobile commerce -- and the business is still growing rapidly. Alibaba's various platforms such as AliExpress, 1688.com, Taobao, and TMall efficiently connect manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers -- in China and around the globe. What we find even more important for investors is that unlike some other large e-commerce companies, Alibaba's platform produces profits, and growing profits is the key to longer-term stock performance.
What the press has not explained is that Alibaba is just part of the story. Airbnb (which facilitates the rental of residential rooms directly from owners), Dropbox (which offers storage, access and sharing capability form the cloud), Uber (an online car service competing with traditional taxis) and Box (a competitor of Dropbox) are all coming public soon -- and several of them may have valuations of about $5 billion.
Thus about $40 billion of new issuance of securities in the U.S. will soon take place, and many buyers of these stocks may be mutual funds who currently own established technology stocks.
Will they sell Apple (AAPL) , Amazon (AMZN) , Google (GOOG) , and Facebook (FB) to raise money to buy these newly issued stocks? Possibly, and we view Amazon as especially vulnerable. BABA is very profitable, and AMZN is only marginally so. BABA is much bigger than AMZN, and is growing faster. We'll let you be the judge. (We do not own AMZN, and we are not short AMZN.)
BABA, of course, has its own issues related to corporate structure and governance. As with other Chinese firms whose securities are listed in the U.S., buyers will actually be purchasing shares of a holding company in the Caymans. We recommend investors perform due diligence to know exactly what they are buying.
Investment implications: With tens of billions of dollars' worth of new tech stock issuance coming, led by the biggest IPO in history, we believe that tech stalwarts such as AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, and FB may come under pressure as fund managers make space for the newcomers. Given AMZN's razor-thin margins, we believe it could be especially vulnerable if buyers put confidence in BABA's reported earnings numbers. We suggest investors make a shopping list to look for bargains if this burst of tech IPOs does indeed cause significant pressure on leading stocks in the sector.

Although boxing has become something of a maligned sport, most Pittsburghers, even those who don't know a knockout from a wipeout, have heard of such lauded fighters as Billy Conn and Paul Spadafora. With any luck, they'll also know exactly who Josh Himes is in due time.
Himes, who played football–among other sports–at old Monaca High School until graduating in 2008, currently holds the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves boxing championship. He hopes to put "the sweet science" back on the map in the 'Burgh by earning a trip to London to compete in the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Hopefully, according to Himes, an appearance in next year's Games would be a mere stepping stone toward his ultimate goal, which is to fight professionally.
Shortly before leaving for vacation, "Mr. High School Sports" caught up with the budding boxer at the Beaver Valley Fight Club high atop Rochester to discuss what inspired him to take up that sport, update us on his journey to the Olympics, and even give us some insight on how he got his nickname, "The Handsome Hitman."
He also explained how his time spent as a student-athlete at Monaca helped him prepare to become the fastest in PA history to win a state boxing title.
You can catch the entire interview, which includes information on Josh's upcoming bout, right here, thanks to "Mr. High School Sports" and his friends at HeyRubino.com:

Lorraine Machado of Merced and RoseAnn Serrano of Le Grand were honored Thursday with the Common Threads Award at California State University, Fresno.
Machado and Serrano received the award for their agricultural, philanthropic and community service during a fundraising awards luncheon in the University Courtyard Dining Hall at CSUF.
Machado was stunned with the award.
"It's a huge honor," Machado said. "I read about the honorees every year and know most of the women. They are women I admire very much."
Machado and her husband Tony operate an 800-cow dairy in the Merced area. Two of the Serrano's four grown daughters attended Fresno State and the others graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. They belong to the Merced County Farm Bureau.
"My mission in life is to teach kids about ag," Machado said. "I believe in FFA with all my heart. It's so important to me that kids know what ag is and where food comes from." Machado sponsors high school students as they buy the jacket to become FFA members.
Serrano met her husband, David, when they were attending Fresno State. The Serranos grow wheat and corn, almonds, alfalfa and apricots in the Le Grand area.
Serrano manages Merced's two farmers markets: one on Saturday morning on N Street, and one starting Wednesdays in May in the Promenade Shopping Center in north Merced. She also sells at the Mariposa farmers market and previously sold at weekly markets in Madera and Los Banos.
Serrano said she has been volunteering with a number of community organizations and helps with Le Grand's annual Community Day celebration over the Memorial Day weekend. The Serranos both belonged to the Ag One Foundation at Fresno State.
Juliet Campos of Caruthers, Helen Sullivan of Hanford and Alice Saviez of Fresno also received the Common Threads Award.
"These five Valley women have strong agricultural backgrounds and are active participants in their communities through philanthropic endeavors and community service," said Dr. Charles Boyer, dean of the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology at Fresno State. "Their contributions to agriculture are vital to the industry's success in Central California."
Common Threads is a collaborative effort of the Ag One Foundation, Fresno State's Jordan College and the California Agricultural Leadership Foundation. Net proceeds raised at the luncheon support the Ag One Foundation, Ag Leadership and charities of the honorees' choices.

Better Health Starts In The Brain
Why Brain Health Matters
Think about the last time you said or did something you regret. A lot of times these actions happen because we don't feel "in control" at that moment. Sometimes these mistakes can lead to much bigger issues.
A properly functioning brain allows us to stay in control, even in times of stress, sadness or extreme circumstances. It can also help overcome attention and focus issues, as well as improve memory retention. That is why brain health matters more than people realize.
Our clinic offers a scientifically proven system that can fine-tune the brain to eliminate the triggers that often cause issues like Stress, ADHD, Depression, Insomnia, Memory Issues, Chronic Pain and more! Best of all, this process is drug free, safe and non-invasive.
What Is Neurofeedback?
Amazing Results
What If You Could Eliminate Or Reduce Chronic Neurological Conditions Just By Watching A Movie Or Listening To Music?
That may sound too good to be true, But this amazing technology works by re-aligning brainwaves while you are engaged in a movie or music. Decades of research have shown that properly aligned brainwaves can positively affect the way our body functions.
Neurofeedback is yielding positive results for many people with debilitating neurological conditions. People of all ages can see dramatic improvement in conditions like ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Brain Injury, Migraines, Seizures, Chronic Pain, Addiction and more.
Decades of Research
Neurofeedback has over 50 years of positive case studies and scientific publications and is currently used by thousands of licensed health professionals around the world. It could be the most important new tool for mental and neurological health available today.
Why I offer Neurofeedback
Dr. Johnson focuses on helping patients with chronic health challenges who are not responding to traditional medical treatments. I often see people who are suffering from diverse chronic conditions such as ADD/ADHD, chronic lower back pain, sciatica or leg pain, spinal stenosis, failed back surgery syndrome – with or without hardware, fibromyalgia, neck pain, dizziness/vertigo, arm/shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, migraine and cluster headaches, insomnia, anxiety, MS, peripheral neuropathy, restless leg syndrome (RLS), thyroid disorder symptoms and other chronic conditions. If you would like to read or watch some patient testimonials, just click here.
Traditional approaches to healing often compartmentalize the human body, focusing on localities and not the whole person. But I look at all your systems, I give you a questionnaire, and get to know you. I talk with you about your medical history and your past struggles. I draw a complete picture of you. Then I step back and try to determine what is slightly out of focus.
I don't use drugs or surgery. I employ an array of diagnostic tests to penetrate the invisible web of factors causing your pain. Then I arm you with an individualized set of comprehensive, preventative measures to help you address your chronic condition.
One of my corresponding goals is to help you develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of your own body, a remarkable instrument that is always willing to heal–no matter what. I do this through my structural, neurological, metabolic approach, explaining in detail whatever you're curious about during the steps on your journey to health.

Brain Mapping
Visualize Inside The Brain
How We Determine Your Condition
The heart of this process is our brain mapping system, which allows us to image the brain in real time. The brain map is an important tool we use to evaluate your brainwaves and identify opportunities to improve communication between various regions of the brain.
The brain map is able to capture a window of brain activity, analyze the data and create a visual representation for each lobe of the brain and each specific brainwave (Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta).
A Customized Report Of Findings
Our detailed brain map report identifies unhealthy brainwave patterns and connectivity issues in an easy to read format. It also shows the training protocols needed to improve or eliminate your symptoms using neurofeedback.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many brain issues are caused by irregular brainwaves. Neurofeedback works because it does not directly target any conditions and symptoms…It corrects irregular brainwaves and modifies timing patterns in the brain. This is achieved through multiple neurofeedback sessions, where the brain is re-trained into making normal patterns. The result is an improvement in brain regulation, which then impacts a variety of symptoms.
Absolutely not! Neurofeedback is safe because it is non-invasive, requires no drugs and does not produce any radiation like a CT scan does. The goal of neurofeedback is to identify irregular brainwave patterns and make very subtle corrections. With multiple sessions, the brain will learn to self-regulate.
No. Neurofeedback does not require anything more than your attention for 30 minutes per session. In fact, with each successful session you can start eliminating any medications you are taking.
Absolutely not! A brain map is simply a surface scan of your scalp which picks up the electrical impulses we call brainwaves. We do use conductive paste, but there are no shocks, no pain and no discomfort. All you do is stare at the wall for 6 minutes with your eyes open, and six minutes with your eyes closed. The computer does the rest.
Neurofeedback has been around since the 1950's. It is only in the last decade and with the advancement of computer technology that Neurofeedback has been able to move from laboratory research to a system that can be administered in an office setting.
Your brain produces four primary types of brain waves: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. Beta is primarily active during your awake state, which is the majority of your day. Alpha has to do with your subconscious, and is dominant during relaxed states when your eyes are closed but you are not asleep. Theta is present briefly during the periods before you fall asleep and before you fully wake up. Delta is primarily active when you are asleep. All of these brain waves are equally important to your health, and neurological disorders can be attributed to specific brain waves. For example, when you have brain irregularities caused by a head injury, your brain may have too much frontal theta or delta being produced when you are supposed to be awake and alert. By retraining these abnormal patterns in the affected areas, symptoms can be improved or eliminated.
Each session usually lasts 30 minutes.
The number of sessions needed will depend on the individual and the particular condition that has been determined. Much like going to the gym, every person requires a different length of time to improve. 20 – 40 sessions is normal for many conditions to improve or even be eliminated. However, people have reported positive changes after just a few sessions.
Neurofeedback sessions involve relaxing for 30 minutes while you watch a movie or listen to music of your choice. Electrodes are attached to your scalp that monitor your brainwaves during the session. When irregular patterns are detected, a response is triggered from the software that pauses or dims the video or music. this response will automatically cause you to focus more, which will move your brainwaves back into normal ranges. With repetition of this process over multiple sessions, your brain can learn to stay within healthy ranges on its own without neurofeedback.
Again, results will vary from person to person. Some feel different within a couple of sessions, while tougher conditions will take many sessions to see any noticeable results. It's important to not get impatient and listen to the practitioner. They should be able to show you the graph results of each sessions, which will provide a visual reference of improvement. The type of neurofeedback training we offer here is permanent. Neurofeedback helps to improve functions such as concentration, short-term memory, speech, motor skills, sleep, energy level, and emotional balance.
Long term follow ups have been done on many patients over the years. Dr. Joel Lubar at the University of Tennessee has followed ADD clients who've sustained their improvements from neurofeedback for 10-20 years. Published research on epilepsy 12 months after brain training shows the effects on epilepsy usually holds. Owners of the Clear Mind System have commonly reported no relapses from patients after 10 years.
Yes you can start neurofeedback while on your medications. As you progress your physician might suggest that you slowly reduce or eliminate certain medications related to the condition that you are addressing with neurofeedback. Since every patient is unique, the decision to reduce medication will be up to your physician. More research is needed on this, but a common theory is that the same dosage seems to have a stronger effect on a more efficient brain.
If used improperly, it is possible to see problems. That is to be expected from a system that can produce such positive changes. It all comes down to training and proper use. Fortunately, each session is designed to create small changes in brainwave activity, meaning that problems can be spotted and corrected before they become bigger. Our clinic has extensive training on this equipment and can change protocols as needed if negative effects are seen.
Recent research suggests that individuals with ADD/ADHD tend to have elevated theta brainwave activity and low levels of beta brainwave activity. Symptoms of ADD/ADHD are usually reduced when brainwave activity is changed. Neurofeedback is commonly used as an adjunct or alternative treatment to medication and behavior management.
Neurofeedback has been around since the late 1950's when Dr. Joe Kamiya discovered that by using a simple reward system, people could learn to alter their brain activity. His partner, Dr Sterman discovered that he could train cats to control their epileptic seizures through a similar method. He moved on to train humans to control their epilepsy. Neurofeedback has evolved over the years from laboratory research to a system that can be administered in an office setting. And with 5 decades of positive case studies, it is not likely to go away any time soon.
Neurofeedback has been around for decades. To date there are thousands of studies, with more being published every day. This site has a comprehensive list of studies on neurofeedback for many conditions. You can view them here.

If at first you don't succeed, head north to Canada.
After failing to buy Californian driller Unocal for nearly $20 billion in 2005, CNOOC
CNOOC's $27.50 per share offer for Calgary-based Nexen comes at an over-60% premium to the company's Friday close and signals that the existing Chinese buying wave in niche drillers -- as well as a web of oil and gas joint ventures in North America -- may yet morph into mega-sized M&A. The deal highlights China and its state-owned oil giants' hunger for new oil and gas exploration assets amid a projected increase in the country's energy consumption. State-backed drillers like CNOOC, PetroChina
The argument against outright acquisitions of domestic energy assets for national security reasons forced the Chinese oil giants to be quiet and persistent buyers of North American oil and gas assets, cutting investment deals with some of the biggest independent oil and gas companies in the US, Chesapeake Energy
Even though Monday's landmark bid for Nexen will face Canadian regulatory review, Chinese energy acquisitions may remain a more relevant prospect in Canada, with joint ventures remaining the preferred way to gain access to US-based asset sellers like Chesapeake Energy.
"There are lot more deals in Canada, and they don't translate to our public markets," says Subash Chandra, an oil and gas analyst with Jefferies. He notes that outright Chinese M&A tends to be "bottled up" in Canada, with few large-scale transactions in the US.
According to Bloomberg data, Chinese oil giants are the second-largest acquirer of oil assets, behind US oil majors, cutting $35.6 billion of acquisitions last year. Notable Chinese deals include Sinopec's November acquisition of a 30% stake in Portuguese energy company Galp Energia's Brazilian subsidiary Petrogal Brasil, for over $5 billion, and a separate October acquisition of Daylight Energy, which holds 300,000 acres of shale oil and gas drilling assets, for $2.1 billion.
The interest in Canadian assets from Chinese state-run oil companies has been building. Last year, Petrochina signed a deal with Encana to buy assets in the Cutback region for $5 billion, a deal which would have been the largest-ever oil and gas acquisition in Canada by a Chinese company. That deal fell apart for undisclosed reasons.
CNOOC's bid for Nexen may still be worth watching for US investors and energy players. Benchmark analyst Mark Gilman said in November that Chinese M&A interest in North America is at least partially about acquiring the technological expertise required from complicated deepwater and shale drilling. The same could be said of ExxonMobil's (XOM) acquisition of XTO Energy, seen as not only an asset play but a shale drilling expertise and technology acquisition.
Gilman noted the key to deals will be the size of new shale finds and the emergence of new types of drilling methods like fracking. "You have to keep half an eye on the frequency on which new plays are emerging...
Sinopec's acquisition of a stake in Petrogal Brasil includes access to the Jupiter and Tupi offshore oil fields -- the largest oil finds in the western hemisphere since the 1970s. The push into what is known as the Brazilian pre-salt, adds to a legacy of Chinese oil ventures with established players in hard to drill areas.
More recently, Sinopec bought a 33% interest in five shale ventures owned by Devon Energy for $2.2 billion, giving it access and a drilling partner in prized shale assets like the Tuscaloosa Marine , Niobrara, Mississippian, Ohio Utica and the Michigan Basin shale formations.
The head of China's Sinopec was recently seated next to Chesapeake Energy CEO Aubrey McClendon at an NBA Finals game. Chesapeake Energy is looking to sell billions in shale assets as a way to meet a $10 billion-plus funding gap this year. There have been reports that the recent visit by Sinopec's CEO Fu Chengyu to Chesapeake's hometown of Oklahoma City was the prelude to an asset acquisition.
Estimates for the potential oil and gas trapped in Chinese domestic shale vary, but there are expectations that the Chinese energy companies will develop in the coming years a significant domestic shale drilling industry.
Unlike many Chinese acquisitions and joint ventures focused on assets in one drilling region or at least one country, Monday's acquisition of Nexen provides CNOOC access to oil and gas assets around the world, including in Canada, West African countries, and access to prized US-based Gulf of Mexico deepwater and continental shale drilling opportunities.
Cannacord Genuity analyst Phil Skolnick said the market is likely to see this as a positive indicator of the ability of Talisman Energy
Monday's deal could lead to a new round of regulatory hurdles for Chinese operators looking to gain control of US assets -- Nexen owns assets in the Gulf of Mexico -- after regulatory authorities and Congress blocked CNOOC's $18.5 billion bid for Unocal in 2005. There are those who believe the political resistance to outright acquisitions of North American assets by Chinese energy companies never made sense.
"The Unocal bid was derailed by negative press and myopic rhetoric by a few ignorant politicians," says Fadel Gheit an oil and gas analyst with Oppenheimer& Co., who notes that in the aftermath of the deal breakup, the country has remained a large investor in US energy assets. "CNOOC has invested in unconventional JVs with US independents, which benefit both and should increase our domestic production," adds Gheit. The analyst believes Chinese firms should be able to invest more freely in the US since oil is a global business.
Even if outright M&A may remain politically challenging in the US, Chinese players like CNOOC, Sinopec and PetroChina will continue to test the waters. "CNOOC is sitting on a pile of cash and has been aggressively seeking energy acquisitions for the last five years, reflecting China's hunger for energy and oil in particular, and I expect this trend to continue," says Gheit.
In November Bloomberg reported that Marathon Oil
If the deals were to go through, it wouldn't be Marathon's first sale to Chinese buyers. In 2009, state-backed oil companies Sinopec and CNOOC
The political climate in Canada remains a wildcard for the Nexen deal. While Chinese state-run oil companies have had success in Canadian M&A in recent years, Canadian regulators blocked BHP Billiton's
The key to the Nexen deal not suffering the same fate may be its far-flung assets.
"We don't expect there to be any regulatory issues as only 28% of Nexen's production is in Canada. Plus there is an agreement to retain NXY's management team and for CNOOC to establish Calgary as its North and Central American headquarters. CNOOC also plans to list on the Toronto Stock Exchange," writes Cannacord Genuity's Skolnick in a Monday note to clients.
A logical counter bidder would be Total, according to the analyst, however, "We don't expect Total, or really anyone else, to try to compete with China," the analyst wrote.

Khao Chamao Khao Wong National Park
Khao Chamao Khao Wong National Park is 84 square kilometers and is situated midway between Rayong and Chantaburi capitals southeast from Bangkok. It is in Klaeng of Rayong Province and Kaeng Hang Maeo of Chanthaburi Province.
- The name ''Khao Chamao'' means drunken mountain. The reason for this that the Soro Brook Carp in the pools eat a toxic fruit called ''look gabow''. Whilst they obsorb these toxins they remain in their bodies so any one eating the carp becomes disorientated and inebriated. The Soro Brook Carp is native to the Mekong River basin in Thailand.
- The climate has heavy rains of over 3,000 mm (118 inches) each year. Ninety percent of this falls between the mounths of May to October inclusive.
- The Park is located in the Khao Chamao Mountain range. The elevation reaches 1,024 meters at Khao Chamao. ''Khao'', Doi'' and ''Phu'' are all words meaning ''mountain'' but vary between regions of Thailand depending upon the regional language.
- As a consequence of the high rainfall the vegetation is Tropical Rain Forest.
- In Khao Wong are over 80 caves of which some 18 can be visited by tourists. Caving in the rainy season is very dangerous in Thailand because of flash flooding so following any warnings and having a guide is important.
The wild animals here include, Guar, Asian Elephant, Bear, Southern Serow, Munjak, Sambar Deer and Wild Boar.

Water Stocks; Energy Recovery Inc's (NASDAQ: ERII) Pump Engineering Triumphs with Distinction Award for Water Technology Company of the Year
Industry-Leading Energy Recovery Devices Lauded for Innovative Global Desalination Application; Energy Recovery also Recognized as Integral to the Desalination Plant of the Year
SAN LEANDRO, Calif.--(Investorideas.com water stocks newswire )--Energy Recovery Inc (NASDAQ: ERII), a leader in the design and development of energy recovery devices for desalination, today announced that Pump Engineering (acquired by Energy Recovery in 2009) received the Distinction Award in the Water Technology Company of the Year category as part of the Global Water Intelligence Global Water Awards 2010. Energy Recovery was also recognized as part of the Desalination Plant of the Year Award for the inclusion of the company's industry-leading PX Pressure Exchanger™ (PX™) energy recovery devices as an integral component at the Barcelona-Llobregat desalination plant in Spain.
"The Global Water Awards recognize industry visionaries and technology innovators, highlighting those companies and projects that set the standard for the global water industry to follow"
."The 2010 Global Water Awards represent a crowning achievement for Energy Recovery from both a business and a technology perspective," said G.G. Pique, president and CEO of Energy Recovery Inc. "The recognition of Pump Engineering as the Distinction Award winner in the Water Technology Company of the Year category further validates the significance of that strategic acquisition, and the Barcelona-Llobregat desalination plant being selected as the Desalination Plant of the Year demonstrates just how vital our PX devices are to the success of a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination facility. We are grateful to Global Water Intelligence and the entire international water industry for their continued recognition of Energy Recovery as a global industry business and technology leader."
The Global Water Intelligence Global Water Awards recognize the most significant achievements in the global water industry during the past year, and the Water Technology Company of the Year acknowledges the company that has made the most significant contribution in the field of water technology. Pump Engineering, a leading provider of centrifugal turbine energy-saving technology for seawater and brackish desalination applications, was selected as the Distinction Award winner for its considerable achievements in 2009, including doubling global market share and securing a contract for its energy recovery devices at the Magtaa desalination plant in Algeria. Pump Engineering's success in 2009 culminated in the December acquisition by Energy Recovery Inc, creating one of the industry's most comprehensive portfolios of energy recovery devices and fluid processing systems for SWRO desalination as well as for oil and gas processing.
In addition, Energy Recovery was also recognized for the integration of its PX devices into the Barcelona-Llobregat desalination plant, the winner of the Desalination Plant of the Year Award. Producing 200,000 m3/day of potable water for metropolitan Barcelona, the SWRO facility is the largest in Europe. By reducing the energy consumed during the SWRO desalination process by up to 60 percent, Energy Recovery is helping the Barcelona-Llobregat and other global facilities cost-effectively produce fresh, clean water.
"The Global Water Awards recognize industry visionaries and technology innovators, highlighting those companies and projects that set the standard for the global water industry to follow," said Christopher Gasson, publisher of Global Water Intelligence. "Energy Recovery and Pump Engineering have long been two of the industry's established leaders, so it is no surprise that the combined entity has been acknowledged for its cutting-edge technology achievements as well as for the practical application of its solutions. We applaud Energy Recovery and look forward to continued success from the company in 2010 and beyond."
Energy Recovery's PX devices operate at up to 98 percent efficiency and reduce the energy consumption of SWRO systems by up to 60 percent, making desalination a cost-effective solution for clean water supply. PX devices also reduce the carbon footprint of desalination, saving more than 900 MW of energy and reducing CO2 emissions by more than 4.7 million tons per year worldwide. More than 10,000 of Energy Recovery's devices are currently deployed or under contract to be installed at desalination plants across the globe.

ROEBLING: THE STORY OF THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE Opens on May 16th
New Play Tells Story of Emily Roebling and the Brooklyn Bridge
Theater to Go is presenting its new play, Roebling: The Story of the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time at the New Jersey State Museum (205 West State Street, Trenton, NJ). Written by Mark Violi and Directed by Ruth Markoe, Roebling is "A Drama about the Men who Built the Brooklyn Bridge… and the Woman Who Finished It." The Woman in question is Emily Roebling (played by Mariel Rosati) and this untold dramatic story is one for the ages.
Roebling opens on Friday night, May 16th with a Coffee and Dessert Reception at 7 pm with a Performance at 8 pm. Tickets for opening night are $25. Weekend performances are scheduled for Saturday, May 17th and Sunday, May 18th at 1:30 pm, then Saturday May 24th and Sunday, May 25th at 1:30 pm. Tickets for these Roebling performances are $20 for Adults and $18 for Children and Seniors. Free admission to the New Jersey State Museum is included with each ticket purchase. For tickets and more information, please visit www.RoeblingPlay.com.
Roebling: The Story of the Brooklyn Bridge is the story of the immense challenges faced by the Roebling Family in their dedication to building the Brooklyn Bridge. In building such a true American Icon, John Roebling (Abram Vanderpool) and his son Washington (Jeff Masch) persevered against all odds. The play brings to the stage the human drama surrounding the herculean construction effort to complete one of the most endearing engineering feats in the world. It also tells the story of Emily Roebling, who challenged the accepted role of women to become the culminating force in completing the bridge when adversity called into question the success of the project. This is truly a story of Innovation, Dedication, Perseverance and Family.
Audiences will meet a remarkable, forward-thinking family on the cutting edge of the Industrial Revolution. Roebling shows how this project foreshadowed the 20th century in the huge ambition of the project itself, the revolutionary construction techniques developed by John Roebling, and in the recognition of the vital role that his daughter-in-law, Emily Roebling, played in the implementation of this enormous project.
Roebling is being produced by Theater To Go and is presented in cooperation with the New Jersey State Museum as part of the yearlong NJ350 celebration. Roebling is written by Mark Violi; directed by Ruth Markoe; and includes an original score by Frank Grullon.
Secure on-site parking is available at the New Jersey State Museum. Tickets and more information is available at www.RoeblingPlay.com or (866)-701-2187.

Baje are veterans in the Bajan costume game and as always their launch is highly anticipated by Crop Over lovers.
The parking was haphazard and people were parking as close as they could get to the venue. Unlike last year, I didn't notice any extra security lighting or parking attendants.
George Washington House, I'm sure, is a great place to have a small intimate function, maybe a wedding reception, but, not for a venue with this many people.
Looka! I dunno if they had gin but free rum punch was handed out at the door. I drank vodka most of the night because I was hoeing out myself for drinks. Not really, but the drinks were on the weak side but from what I saw there was a wide variety on hand.
Presentation of costumes
The theme of the band is This Is Life. I had no clue what the theme was prior to the launch so I didn't have any expectations for the costumes.
A little birdie whispered to me that the costume presentation would start at 10:30, but we know that's 11 or 11:30 Bajan time. True to form, the costumes came out at 11.
Y'all *audible sigh* I just felt underwhelmed.
Please don't get me wrong most of the costumes were pretty…but they were just that… pretty…not the standout type that would make you start doing complex math to move your account from overdraft to purchase a costume.
The only section which stood out was the Firebird Section.
The male costumes, as with most bands, were the same remix of board shorts and nods to head and chest pieces. I didn't think the male opening number could get any cheesier than last year but somehow they managed with a military boot camp style chant. Then they showcased the costumes to dancehall.
I still have not made the connection between the costumes and the theme.
You can see all of the costumes here.
Again, gorgeous people with mostly little to no vibe.
There were, however a few bright sparks!
Megghan Michael is a stunner and brought an uptempo vibe to the stage.
The other bright spark was Gerston Blenman. Again, vibes grandfadda.
At the end of the day, Baje costumes will look pretty on the road and I'm sure revellers will have a wonderful time but the launch just left me wanting more because I know they are capable of more.
*Disclaimer (cuz people love to run dem mout): Do Dixie is affiliated with no band or business for Crop Over. I do run Juck Down, a 12- week women only training program designed to make women Crop Over sexy and do dixie on the road during the season (and yes this is a completely shameless plug)*
