The Effect of Country Music on Suicide
"Country music is hypothesized to nurture a suicidal mood through its concerns with
problems common in the suicidal population, such as marital discord, alcohol abuse, and
alienation from work. The results of a multiple regression analysis of 49 metropolitan
areas show that the greater the airtime devoted to country music, the greater the white
suicide rate. The effect is independent of divorce, southernness, poverty, and gun
availability. The existence of a country music subculture is thought to reinforce the link
between country music and suicide."

Bitterness as mental illness?
"People who feel they have been wronged by someone and are so bitter they can barely function other than to ruminate about their circumstances. This behavior is so common -- and so deeply destructive -- that some psychiatrists are urging it be identified as a mental illness under the name post-traumatic embitterment disorder."

Nalaz psihijatara u Vrapču: Ubojica Ivane Hodaka ne boji se kazne, nego novinara - Jutarnji.hr
"Šlogar je, zaključili su, narcisoidan, egocentričan, rigidan, manipulativan, nepovjerljiv, sklon kontroli i pedanteriji, s teškoćama u socijalnom funkcioniranju. Usmjeren je na sebe, ima osjećaj veličine, a nedostaje mu bliskosti, suosjećanja, kritičan je prema drugima. Osoba poput njega je ranjiva samopoštovanja, osjetljiva na kritike. Na kritiku reagira prijezirom ili bijesom. Obezvređuje one koji ga razočaraju ili one nad kojima se osjeća superiorno. Stalno je težio uspješnosti i uvažavanju okoline, i to je privremeno uspio ostvariti druženjem sa “značajnim“ ličnostima, korisnicima terena na Mladosti, odvjetnicima i liječnicima."h

PEP Web - Salieri's Dilemma: A counterpoint between envy and appreciation
"Klein described the conflict between envy and gratitude as inherent in the human being; she suggested an interesting link between envy and admiration, but never developed this idea in her theory. The hypothesis that we put forward in this paper is the existence of a particular intolerance—related to envy—of one's own capacity to recognise the valuable aspects of the object. This situation leads to the paradox that the same faculty that allows the patient to appreciate the good qualities of the object is at the same time the source of unbearable pain. The capacity to recognise the good aspects of the object—whether they are perceived or attributed by projective identification—cannot be accepted as a valuable aspect of the self and is taken as a proof of the self's unworthiness. We think that the description of this intolerance towards admirative appreciation introduces a change in the understanding of idealisation simply as a defence against envy and enriches the conflict expressed in the immediacy of the transference–countertransference."

PEP Web - The Search for the Father in Amadeus*
"What is the source of creativity? Why are some artists favored with prodigious inborn talent while other artists, no less deserving, remain mediocre? What is the relationship between art and madness? These are age-old questions, and they vexed even Freud (1928), who concluded that “Before the problem of the creative artist analysis must, alas, lay down its arms” (p. 177). Wisely or not, psychoanalysts have refused to lay down their arms: Peter Shaffer's plays, in particular, have aroused intense analytic scrutiny (Berman, 1979; Glenn, 1974a, 1974b, 1974c, 1976, 1983; Hamilton, 1979; Slutzky, 1976; Stamm, 1976). Amadeus focuses on the creativity of two quite different artists, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri."

ProtoBlogr.net Blog: USB finger, more details
"As many of you might have already heard from me or various places on the net after my motorcycle accident last year
I got myself a prosthetic USB finger . After last night when my friend Bergie blogged about this many have contacted me through email and asking if it is true or how can I work while my finger is in the USB or Is it attached straight to my bone, etc.
So I think it is best I'll try to explain some of these here now. "

Napping: the expert's guide | Life and style | The Guardian
A nap of 60 minutes improves alertness for up to 10 hours. Research on pilots shows that a 26-minute "Nasa" nap in flight (while the plane is manned by a copilot) enhanced performance by 34% and overall alertness by 54%. One Harvard study published last year showed that a 45-minute nap improves learning and memory. Napping reduces stress and lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke, diabetes, and excessive weight gain.

Feeling ill? It could be the planets, says govt study- Hindustan Times
The five-year study, nearing completion, is being conducted by the Delhi-based Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha’s department of medical astrology. The department has been recording the birth details of patients and their medical history from Delhi hospitals, and has a databank of over 1,000 horoscopes. In nearly 75 per cent cases, a strong co-relation is found between the prediction of occurrence of a disease at a specific time and its occurrence,” Dr Prem Kumar Sharma, head of the medical astrology department, told HT.

Compressed Mints and Chewing Gum Containing Magnolia Bark Extract Are Effective against Bacteria Responsible for Oral Malodor
-
Flavors and natural botanic extracts are often used in chewing gum and compressed mints for breath freshening and relief of oral malodor. The oral malodor is a result of bacterial putrification of proteinaceous materials from food or saliva. In this study, magnolia bark extract (MBE) and its two main components, magnolol and honokiol, were evaluated by the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) test. The inhibitory effect of MBE mint was further evaluated by a kill-time assay study. In addition, an in vivo study was performed on nine healthy volunteers postlunch. Saliva samples were taken before and after subjects consumed mints and gum, with and without MBE. Listerine mouthwash was included as a positive control. The testing results indicated that MBE and its two main constituents demonstrated a strong germ-kill effect against bacteria responsible for halitosis and also Streptococcus mutans, bacteria involved in dental caries formation. The MIC of magnolol, honokiol, and MBE on Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and S. mutans ranged from 8 to 31 µg/mL. Kill-time assay results indicated that mints containing 0.2% MBE reduced more than 99.9% of three oral bacteria within 5 min of treatment. The in vivo study demonstrated that MBE containing mints reduced total salivary bacteria by 61.6% at 30 min and 33.8% at 60 min postconsumption. In comparison, the flavorless mint reduced total salivary bacteria by 3.6% at 30 min and increased total bacteria by 47.9% at 60 min. The MBE containing chewing gum reduced total salivary bacteria by 43.0% at 40 min, while placebo gum reduced total salivary bacteria by 18.0%. In conclusion, MBE demonstrated a significant antibacterial activity against organisms responsible for oral malodor and can be incorporated in compressed mints and chewing gum for improved breath-freshening benefits.
Personal care, restaurant industries have highest rates of depression
-
Government officials tracked depression within 21 major occupational categories. They combined data from 2004 through 2006 to estimate episodes of depression within the past year. That information came from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which registers lifetime and past-year depression bouts.
