Insomnia and related sleep problems affect some 35 million people in varying degrees. It was recently estimated that about one third of all students do not get enough sleep. Lack of sleep can cause many problems, physical and mental.

Doctors and the public don t regard insomnia and sleep problems in the same way that they look at other brain problems of ADD Autistic continuum, or depression. All too many of us simply dismiss this problem, but it is serious to many persons.

Some such people already use some form of noise generator to help them solve such sleep problems, with varying success. Audio sounds such as rain on the roof, a babbling brook, surf or sailboat sounds, and even white noise sounds like continuous TV static have been used to mask outside noises. Any such noise generator may help solve insomnia and other sleep problems.

There are several drugs on the market, heavily advertised on TV, that are also used by many people. However as has been reported in the news lately, such drugs cause many other problems, including sleepwalking, confusion, and even physical deterioration.

Listen carefully to such ads on TV, and, in particular, listen to the careful phrasing of the warnings required by the Food and Drug Administration. Notice the weasel wording that attempts to pass over these serious side effects as not so serious. They make such serious health problems seem not so bad, but that is advertising and spin. Such drugs can be and often are very dangerous, no matter how they try to gloss over these facts.

This Auditory Training system is an even more effective solution, It combines the noise generator as an audio overlay, combined with a subliminal message underneath which is heard by the unconscious mind. The soothing noise generator overlay masks outside noises while the subliminal training actually does brain training in much the same way as EEG biofeedback. This combination has already solved every insomnia and other sleep problem out of dozens of users.

Results speak louder than advertising. In dozens of persons with insomnia and other sleep problems of all kinds, all volunteers who used Auditory Training more than a week or so, solved their sleep problem s.

Of course, Insomnia is also one of the symptoms of depression. This new Auditory Training system has also solved, or at least partially solved every one of such cases as well. One woman lost both her insomnia and her depression, and was able to stay mentally stable when later diagnosed with cancer.

The advantages of this system over EEG BF are multiple.

1. It doesn t require expensive equipment a simple CD player is all that is required.

2. It costs a small fraction of the cost of EEG BF, and much less than the expensive drugs.

3. No negative side effects whatsoever. Positive side effects are that it solves some allergy problems

4. You simply turn on the CD player, and go to sleep.

Let is replace the dangerous drugs with a simpler, cost effective method of solving these problems.

Everyone says, “Some day I'm going to write a book,” but few actually do. So congratulations on a noteworthy achievement! Now that you're holding your book in your hands, after years of research, writing, editing and rewriting, the last words you'll want to hear are, “That was the easy part.” Well, unfortunately, that was the easy part. Unless you don't mind your only fans being family and close friends, or unless you're already a celebrity with a big publishing house behind you, your new challenge will be letting the world know about your book so someone will actually read (a.k.a. buy) what you've so laboriously created. And the hard reality is that, in the madness of today's publishing environment, the onus for successful book promotion lies almost exclusively with the author. Whether you fought your way through to a mainstream channel or decided to self-publish-whether you've written a self-help tool or a novel-odds are good that a publicist won't be calling you tomorrow morning with a jam-packed itinerary of book signings and television interviews. Some of you may have a little help if you're mainstream, but all of you will carry the lion's share. So, where do you begin?

So it’s your dream to write novels? Be a freelance writer and make a living off of your articles? Or maybe you nurture an ambition to write and sell enough short fiction to put bread on the table, like those writers of the golden age of the pulps?

Sometimes I have to remind myself that things have changed and I have to get over what has passed. What happened to the $.10 coffee?

Getting ready to go to work this morning, I opened up my wallet to check out the cash flow. Gees… there was only a twenty dollar bill in there - time to fill up again. I thought for a moment and bemoaned the fact that $20 was a lot of money when I was a kid.

I remember that the coffee growers invented a frost that killed off many of the plants - a wonderful feat of manifesting

There are people who keep their irritations, worries, upsets and fights close to their chest. They suffer or run the risk of a nervous breakdown. A friend, who, in his own words, could not tolerate his wife's nagging, kept storing it in his mind till, one day, the dam burst and led to a nervous breakdown.

Similarly, a husband must realise that just as a leopard cannot change its spots, his wife cannot change her nature. The only sensible solution for him is to cultivate a hard outer crust, which prevents her barbs penetrating his sensitive mind. He must not load his mind with unpleasant debris.

Only then will unbearable conditions become bearable. It will become easy to get along with her. He will become more "charitable." This will help the relationship. There are other advantages too. Health will improve. And physical and mental systems will function more smoothly.
