When it comes to our outdoor equipment one of the items that gets used a lot if you do much camping and backpacking is the cook stove. If you plan to hit the best campsites in the US, you need a good stove. Now there are many varieties, brands, designs, and even fuel types when it comes to camp stoves, and like most things, there are also plenty of opinions on which is the best and why.
In this article, we are going to look at the top four best gas camping stoves. We will take a look at each one and discuss why it has earned its place in the top four. We will also look at what is different about each stove, and how those differences apply to you. If you are looking for a larger stove meant for cooking for a group, check out our article.

#1 MSR WhisperLite Stove
For over 20 years now the MSR WhisperLite stove has been in hard service all around the world. Campers, hikers, adventurers, climbers, and even scientific expeditions have all used the WhisperLite in just about every condition imaginable on planet earth. While MSR has certainly earned their reputation for producing reliable gear, their WhisperLite stove has taken that reputation even further.
The WhisperLite features a simple, durable, and compact design that runs on white gas. There are versions available (International and Universal) that will allow you to use different liquid fuels and even canister fuel. The stove is self-cleaning using "Shaker Jet" technology and is very simple to set up and take down. The stove is also field maintainable.
One of the main draws to this particular stove is that it has the ability to cook more volume than a lot of the other stoves on the market but is still lightweight and small. You can easily cook for two to three people on the WhisperLite, where that would not be possible with the Pocket Rocket 2 listed later in this article.
The WhisperLite is an easy choice as the number one spot due to its impressive length of service, proven reliability, and straightforward and simple design.

# 2 Jetboil Flash Cooking System
Jetboil is a company that has been around for a while and has gained a lot of attention from backpackers and campers. Jetboil primarily focuses on the production of hot water for cooking dehydrated food but can also be used for other types of cooking as well.
Jetboil's newest system, the Jetboil Flash, is their fastest heating stove to date, claiming it will boil water is as little as 100 seconds. The Flash is a cooking system and includes a 1-liter cup that attaches to the stove to boil water in, which Jetboil calls a FluxRing Cooking Cup. The cup features a neoprene cover to allow you to handle the hot cup without getting burned, a color-changing heat indicator so you can monitor the stove while multitasking, a bottom covers that you can use as a bowl and has markings for use as a measuring cup.
The stove itself features a push button igniter which allows for easy lighting, and using canister fuel, making set up a breeze. The entire cooking system also stores inside of the cup, including a 100g fuel canister.
The Jetboil is a fantastic system if all you need to do it boil water. The system is designed around one person, making its use for a group much more difficult. Jetboil does offer a comprehensive list of accessories such as French press coffee accessories and other things to make camp life a little easier. They also offer multiple styles of cups, which may suit your needs better.

#3 MSR PocketRocket 2
Number three on our list is another stove from MSR. The Pocket Rocket 2 is a tiny stove that bags a big punch. Favored by backpackers for its very small (2 x 2 x 3 inch) size and its ultralight (2.6 ounces) weight. This folding canister stove is so small and lightweight, a lot of hikers carry it as a backup stove on long multi-day hikes since its weight and profile is hardly noticed by most.
The Pocket Rocket 2 as the name implies is a re-work of the original Pocket Rocket which while very successful, had some issues with fuel feeding consistency and was prone to blowing out in the wind. The 2.0 version has eliminated those problems to become an impressive all-around stove.
The Pocket Rocket 2 passes the standard one-liter boil test in 3.5 minutes, which places it near the top of the list for boil times. It also sports a healthy fuel efficiency, which is very welcomed when using canister fuel. The stove attaches effortlessly and can be set up and running with zero prep and in less than a minute.
If you are worried about weight or space and still want a robust and reliable stove, the Pocket Rocket 2 would be your best choice.

#4 Etekcity Ultralight Portable Outdoor Backpacking Camping Stove with Piezo Ignition
The Etekcity Ultralight Camping Stove is an integrated canister stove made by Etekcity. Etekcity is one of the newer brands on the market but has been able to garner a massive following among outdoor enthusiasts for what most people say is high-quality equipment for very affordable prices.
The Ultralight Camping Stove is the cornerstone product currently on the market. This small stove is made from aluminum alloy and stainless steel. It is very small, comparable to the MSR Pocket Rocket 2 and is only 2.6 ounces. The stove measures 4.8 x 4.8x 3.6 inches open and collapses down to 2 x 2 x 3 inches. It uses any standard (7/16″) mixed fuel canisters and comes with a one-year warranty. The stove comes with a carrying case.
If you are looking for a camping stove and need to stay under a budget, this stove is worth checking out. With the thousands of hikers and other outdoorsmen that have tried it and gave it high remarks, it hard to imagine you could go wrong with this one.

When it comes to buying a camping stove so much of the decisions comes down to personal opinions that it is hard to recommend one for someone, or another one for someone else. All four of the stoves listed here are rock solid and will perform very well for many years. They all have their pros and cons, and for some people, some pros may be cons and vice versa.
The important thing is to research your stove well and make sure you understand the operational instructions well and know how to estimate your fuel consumption accurately. It is worth noting that most hikers who are unhappy with the performance of a stove, is often either overloading the capacity of the stove or not providing it with the proper amounts of fuel.
Buying Guide and FAQs
Which fuel source is the best?
This comes down to the individual's comfort level with the different fuels — beginners and people that want super easy setup, and simple operation are going to be more towards the canister fuel stoves.
Fuel canisters are as simple as it gets. You screw the stove onto the canister, use your stove, and then unscrew the canister. They are simple, safe, and effective. However, they do not come without the downsides. Fuel canisters cannot be refilled. Once you use them up, they are trash, and you have to buy a new canister. Until recently they were not recyclable, and while they are now, there will still be many places that will not accept them for some time.
Another common complaint about fuel canister is that it is difficult to know how much fuel you have remaining. Most manufacturer's instructions have you filling a pot with water and suspending the canister in the water to measure how deep it sinks into the water. This will tell you approximately how much fuel is left in the canister. With liquid fuels, you can simply just look at it.
Liquid fuel is more complicated. You must fill a fuel bottle from the large jug you buy it in. That bottle is then connected to the stove. Most applications and situations you will have to disconnect the fuel bottle and stow the stove. This extra step can be a hassle for some. The fuel bottles are also not pressurized, so most stoves you will have to pump air pressure into the bottle. If the pressure drops while you are cooking, then you stove can flame out.
Other than being able to see how much fuel you have left visually; liquid fuel does have some other advantages. With liquid fuel, you can use the fuel for other things, such as starting a fire in wet, damp areas or as fuel in your Zippo lighter.
What if I want to use it for a group?
If you are planning on using the stove for a group, the best choice would be the MSR Whisperlite. The larger base allows for a larger pot. The stove can produce plenty of power, allowing you to cook for more than one.
While some people will use a bigger pot with the smaller stoves, the stoves just do not produce enough heat to cook efficiently.
Can you measure the gas in a fuel canister?
Yes. Each manufacturer has slight variations to the process or what the measurements mean, but you can suspend the canister in water to test how much fuel is left.
How long can I expect my new stove to last?
With basic maintenance and cleaning, your new stove will last a very long time. There are countless testimonials, from people who have owned their WhisperLite stoves for 25+ years and they are still operational. The fact is that there is little to no wear when using one of these stoves, so they last a very long time if cared for.
Should I "break in" my new stove before use?
Yes. Most people will recommend that you burn your stove several times before taking it on a hiking trip with you. This is to make sure that the regulators and valves are working properly and that the stove will perform as expected. It also allows you to get more familiar with the stove and how to operate it before adding the stress of being on a hike in the woods.
Are fuel canisters from each company different?
Yes and No. For the purpose of working in your stove, they are all the same. However, each company that manufactures fuel canisters claims to have a proprietary blend that works best in their stove.
While this may be true, hikers have been mixing stoves and fuel canisters for years, and they all work just fine. It is still a good idea to run a test boil before you leave on a trip. Especially, if you are going to be using a new brand of canister.

A CurtainUp Berkshire Review
On the Twentieth Century
The sleek New York Central Railroad line with its posh private compartments inspired a 1934 screwball movie comedy starring John Barrymore as Oscar Jaffe, a flamboyant, down-on-his-luck theater impresario, and Carole Lombard as Lily Garland, his former lover and star. To the musical book and lyric writers Betty Comden and Adolph Green and composer Cy Coleman the theatricality of the setting and the characters begged to be set to music and in 1979 they concocted On the Twentieth Century: The Musical. It is this show, which ran on Broadway for 449 performances and won 5 Tonys, that Ms. Boyd has brought back to life with her usual flair for lively staging, energizing her performers, and her ability to overcome the limitations of a regional theater budget as well as the acoustical shortcomings of her venue.
Like the deservedly praised production of Cabaret (our review), On the Twentieth Century re-creates its era. Set designer Sarah Lambert provides just enough of the look and atmosphere of the legendary train to serve as a backdrop for the zany plot: Producer Jaffe (Dennis Parlato) has had four successive flops but is convinced that his luck will turn if he can woo back Lily Garland (Kim Crosby) whose career he launched when she was still a Bronx commuter named Mildred Plotka. In order to persuade her to sign on for his next project he has booked a compartment adjoining Lily's on the New York bound Twentieth Century Limited. His 16-hour effort is abetted by his weary but loyal sidekicks Oliver Webb (Peter Kapetan) and Owen O'Malley (John Dewar). Lily has other ideas, as does her egomaniacal boy-toy Bruce Granit (Christopher Yates). The screwball aspects of the comedy are personified by a bible-touting millionaire named Letitia Primrose (Joy Franz) who happily opens her checkbook to finance a drama about Mary Magdalene. Toss in an ensemble that includes a philandering politician, a conductor, and a doctor who interrupt Jaffe's campaign to win Lily back with descriptions of the plays they've written and you've got a train ride guaranteed to be anything but smooth.
While the story unfolds in the train's compartments and parlor car, a number of other locations are cleverly inserted. In addition to the red-carpeted train station where the actors in Jaffe's company find themselves stranded without train fare, there's a flashback which take us back to Oscar's glory days when Lily as a still unglamorous Mildred Plotka arrives in Oscar's office to play the piano for an actress auditioning for a role. Mildred's transformation from mousy pianist to star-in-the-making is a show-stopper. Crosby is superb both as Mildred and the glamorous, amorous Lily -- and with a voice to match (Think Barbra Streisand and Miss Marmelstein!) Her a-star-is-born scene is one of numerous show stoppers, and Crosby's performance not the sole standout. Joy Franz is a wonderfully wacky Letitia Primrose. Christopher Yates, whom Barrington Stage regulars will remember as Cliff Bradshaw in Cabaret, demonstrates strong comedic skills as Lily's jealous and vain lover. Still in the most memorable performance department there's Peter Kapetan's consistently funny Oscar Jaffe. Dennis Parlato, while an attractive Oscar, falls somewhat short of the magnetism required of the central role, both in terms of acting and singing.
As I usually do when I see a musical revival, I consulted my copy of Robert Gottlieb's and Robert Kimball's Reading Lyrics. Sure enough, Comden and Greene are represented with a number of standards (songs whose titles and lyrics immediately evoke the music). Though not hum-in-the-shower songs, the Twentieth Century score and lyrics nevertheless exemplify musical theater at its most sophisticated and enjoyable. Act one gets off to a grand start with the ensemble's snappy "Stranded Again" and soars with a wonderful duet, "Our Private World ". Act two has a bunch of dazzlers , especially "Sign, Lily, Sign" and " She's a Nut" and "Babbette."
Tony Parise has created some terrific dance numbers for the excellent ensemble which at times swells in size thanks to the double duty done by the key players. Fabio Toblini's costumes are spot-on circa 1930s (I especially liked Bruce's nifty hounds tooth checkered suit!) and Jeff Croiter's lighting adds to the atmosphere.
Some interesting trivia about the original Broadway production. The actor who portrayed Oscar Jaffe was the same John Cullum who stars in the musical that has triumphantly progressed from the Fringe, to Off-Broadway to Broadway despite its title, Urinetown. The late Madeleine Kahn played Lily Garland. Also in the cast was Imogene Coca and a stage newcomer named Kevin Kline. The show's lavish sets also prompted the trade paper Variety to comment on the increasing tendency for Broadway shows to stress grandiose spectacles. With Broadway staging ever more spectacular, Ms. Boyd's handsome if comparatively simple production demonstrates that affordably staged musicals, without megastars and extraordinary special effects still have the power to charm and entertain.

Delonte West sticks his finger in Gordon Hayward's ear, gets T'd up, is matter-of-fact about it (VIDEO)
In the second quarter of Monday night's fantastic triple-overtime thriller between the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks, Mavs guard Delonte West decided it would be a good idea to shove his finger into the ear of Jazz swingman Gordon Hayward. That's definitely normal and not at all weird, so it's odd that our friends at the Yahoo! Sports Minute felt like it was worth highlighting in Tuesday morning's rundown of Monday night's top stories.
The fans at Utah's EnergySolutions Arena seemed to think it was weird, too, and they didn't much care for Delonte's goof, chanting for the officiating crew to "throw him out" after the play, according to Lynn DeBruin of The Associated Press. West stayed in the game but did receive a technical foul on the play, and may be subject to a fine from the league office.
Jazz partisans probably should have chilled out, though; as West told reporters after the game, he was just trying to help Hayward's hygiene. Well, either that or bully him. From Jeff Caplan at ESPN Dallas:
Delonte West joked that he was only trying to get some lint out of Gordon Hayward's hair and then West said he was actually going in to deliver a Wet Willie. [...]
West said there's no hard feelings toward the Utah Jazz forward after West lost his cool late in the second quarter. West aggressively and unnecessarily flung his arm at Hayward well away from the ball to pick up his third foul with 3:40 to go in the first half. After the whistle, West followed Hayward and suddenly poked his index finger in the vicinity of Hayward's ear.
Glad to hear that Delonte has no hard feelings toward the person he aggressively/unnecessarily flung his arm at and then poked in the ear. (Also, wet Willies involve saliva pre-ear-stick, so this one ain't that.) You could definitely see why he'd harbor some resentment toward Gordon Hayward for having an innate quality that just makes Delonte West want to bully him. Something about his face, probably. Totally reasonable, and a great thing to be able to put behind us.
More from West's postgame comments, via Caplan:
"We're two warriors, man, we're out there battling on the battlefield," West said. "I forgot, the NBA is a gentleman's game so we've got to fight and scrap and do it nicely. Everything is left on the court, though. That's what it is."
Yeah, that's right. This ain't your granny's PB-and-J-with-the-crusts-cut-off brand of basketball, and it's definitely not your Earl of Grantham's full-morning-dress-oh-we-must-support-Mary-this-courting-season style of hoops, you square-back-and-sides feeb.
This is the NBA. It's a battle for warriors who stick their fingers in one another's ears. It's prison rules. Or, at least, fourth-grade schoolyard rules. Is that too extreme for you? Then you better just fall back. It's like that famous saying: If you can't stand the finger in your ear, stay off of the basketball court. It's as true today as it was when we were all taught it when we were children, because it is a real thing that we were all taught.
Oh, by the way, Utah outlasted Dallas in a 63-minute triple-overtime epic, 123-121, that brought the Jazz (32-30) within a half-game of the Phoenix Suns for the Western Conference's final playoff spot and dropped the Mavs (34-28) into the seventh seed, a half-game back of the Denver Nuggets. Hayward was critical for the Jazz, scoring 24 points on 14 shots, dishing five assists, grabbing four rebounds and hitting four 3-pointers in more than 54 minutes for coach Ty Corbin. West had 16 points on 5-of-8 shooting in just under 27 minutes for the Mavs.
One more thing: Hey, Dallas? Stop being gross. Between West's Willie and Vince Carter blowing his burp breath at Rudy Gay, you are becoming the nastiest team in the league, and not in a good "Bad Boys Pistons" kind of way. It's not a good look, friends.

The other day, we were coming from a trip to the cinema and Atala suggested we slot in a quick visit to Seward Park in Seattle, one we hadn't been to before. I wasn't dressed, as per shoes, for hiking, but he promised it would be a short one. So off we went. The breeze was surprisingly strong off Lake Washington, the water you see in the pictures, and it blew my wig every which way.

Jaguar Cars design director Ian Callum is a proud owner of a Jaguar Mark II. But with the help of Classic Motor Cars (CMC), Callum is making it even more special by modifying one to his specification.
"This is the first classic Jaguar I have ever owned," said Callum. "I have greatly admired the Jaguar MkII since I was a boy. Now I have the chance to 'build' one to my exact design specification."
The design specification reportedly involves some fundamental engineering changes, and executing it at CMC is a team handpicked by Callum.
"To me, the Mark II is one of the best-looking sedans ever created, but as a designer, naturally, I want to change a number of details," Callum added. "For that reason, the car that CMC has chosen as donor car will be modified in many areas--both aesthetically and technically."
Though Callum didn't give any specific details about what he'd change in the car, he did say that he wanted to simplify many of the car's exterior elements and that the interior would "go through a number of subtle changes as well."
According to CMC, the rebuild of Callum's Mark II is already under way and that regular updates will be posted on its website (www.classic-motor-cars.co.uk).

Walking On Eggshells
By James Marrelli • October 31, 2013
"I hope this book will give inspiration to the thousands of individuals who have suffered abuse and violence at the hands of their parents," said Jim Marrelli at the launch of his new book, 'Walking On Eggshells.'
Being a firefighter and paramedic involves having to make life or death decisions under very difficult circumstances. It is a job that demands a sense of calm and confidence under pressure, skills that James Marrelli never dreamed he would gain and now he holds the coveted Firefighter of the Year Award. His revealing, and at times heartbreaking, memoirs detail the long time psychological damage inflicted by years of mental and physical abuse. Damage that followed him through into early adulthood and beyond. The book chronicles his struggles to fight back and undo the damage caused, even to the point of joining The National Guard to gain self confidence and respect.
In the end, it was the love of a good woman that finally gave him the strength he needed and with her patience and understanding, Jim finally left the trauma behind and carved a successful career in one of the most demanding environments imaginable.
Walking On Eggshells has just been published by Mirador Publishing and is already achieving wide critical acclaim for its uncompromising look at the damage parents can do to their children.
"We were humbled by Jim's courage in putting this book forward," said Sarah Luddington, Mirador's Commissioning Editor. "His bravery in speaking out will be an inspiration to thousands of others and we are privileged to be able to help promote awareness of this dreadful abuse of our children."
Jim's story is ultimately one of hope and inspiration and shows how the damage wrought by bad parenting can be left behind and the survivors of abuse can find loving and fulfilled lives despite the difficult start.
Walking on Eggshells is published by Mirador Publishing and is available in all good bookshops and online stores both as a paperback and eBook in all the major formats.

The state government has barred private schools in Punjab to hike fees by more than 8 per cent annually. The cabinet, that met on Wednesday, gave its nod to Punjab State Regulation of Fee of Unaided Educational Institutions Rules, 2017 that paves way for rationalisation of fees in private schools.
Though the new academic session has already begun, the government ordered all private schools to put a ceiling on fee hike. After the rules are notified, the parents would be able to complain to the Divisional Commissioners if the schools in their wards hike fees by more than 8 per cent, said a government official.
The rules are in line with the Punjab and Haryana High Court direction on April 19, 2013, asking the government to make an Act.The previous government had passed the Punjab Regulation of Fee of Unaided Educational Institutions Act, 2016 but the Act remained unimplemented as it had failed to name the enforcement agency.
In another step to streamline the education system in the state and raise the standards of education, the cabinet also decided to appoint a person of national eminence in the field of Industry, Technology or Technical Education as Chairman of the Board of Governors of Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University, Bathinda. It was also decided to similarly appoint the Chairman of the Board of Governors of IK Gujral Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar, from among persons of national repute in the aforesaid fields.
In another decision, the cabinet approved fresh mine auctions through e-bidding. As many as 59 mines will be auctioned and production would commence from May 20 onwards. Another set of 58 mines are awaiting environmental clearance and expected to become operational by mid-August.
The auction of mines is expected to make a revenue of Rs 430 crore for the state exchequer against last year revenue of Rs 43 crore.
It was also decided at the cabinet meeting that the state government would soon implement the Integrated Mines and Minerals Management System (i3MS) to bring greater transparency into the system. The i3MS is approved by the Government of India and has been successfully tried and tested in Odisha, the cabinet noted.

U2's Bono says he may never play guitar again
Singer details difficult road to recovery after accident
U2 frontman Bono detailed his injury recovery in a 6,100-word, A-to-Z web post documenting his year, acknowledging that he may never play the guitar again, ABC News reported.
"Recovery has been more difficult than I thought ... As I write this, it is not clear that I will ever play guitar again. The band have reminded me that neither they nor Western civilization are depending on this," he wrote.
"I personally would very much miss fingering the frets of my green Irish falcon or my (RED) Gretsch. Just for the pleasure, aside from writing tunes. But then does the Edge, or Jimmy Page, or any guitarist you know have a titanium elbow, as I do now? I'm all elbows, I am."
The Irish-born musician was injured in a November bike accident in New York City. Bono said he expects his recovery to continue in the coming months.
"I have cancelled every public appearance and decided this missive is all the communication I can manage for the first half of 2015, beyond muttering and singing to myself of course," he wrote.
He says he doesn't remember much from the accident – and only blames himself.
"I blanked out on impact and have no memory of how I ended up in New York Presbyterian with my humerus bone sticking through my leather jacket. Very punk rock as injuries go," he wrote.
Despite injuries to his hand, shoulder, elbow and face, Bono classifies his deepest injuries to his "Irish Pride, as it was discovered that under my tracksuit I was wearing yellow and black Lycra cycling shorts. Yes, LYCRA. This is not very rock 'n' roll."

The ASUS Memo Pad Smart is a tablet that was recently unveiled and it will be coming to Barcelona, at MWC 2013 soon enough. Before we get our hands on it, let's check out an official promo of the slate.
Many people have compared this model to the ASUS TF300 and they're right to do that, especially as far as the design goes and the specs are not at all far away from that model. It's still a 10.1 inch slate with an IPS panel and a quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor. This is the first 10.1 inch slate in the brand new ASUS MeMo Pad range.
This model went on sale in Thailand in a world's first a few days ago and previously it was leaked under the codename ME301T. The ASUS Memo Pad Smart runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and uses a 1.2 GHz CPU, 16 GB of ROM and 1 GB of RAM. There's also a microSD card slot, a 5 MP camera and a micro HDMI port.
In Thailand the device goes for $360, while in Eastern Europe it's priced at $450 as shown here.

Latest Published Therapy Research Evidence
Below you will discover plenty of UK and world-wide published research, of Clinical Trials, plus also Clinical Studies, plus Success Evaluations of previous therapy trials. Most of the evidence below relates to Clinical Hypnotherapy, however some also relates to the combination of Hypnotherapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Psychotherapy. We have not included lots of research regarding CBT as this is already the most widely researched psychological therapy of all time, so CBT evidence is easy to find everywhere. This is why CBT and Counselling is part of the UK's guidelines by N.I.C.E. as being a preferred psychological therapy to treat: depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, plus quite a few other symptoms and challenges. Here within our practice we combine CBT techniques with all our Clinical Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy, plus also within our Psychotherapy. CBT can be effective at achieving long-term solutions, but Hypnotherapy can be effective at speeding up the therapy process saving client's time and money. Our experience proves that a combination of Clinical Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy and CBT speeds up results and saves our clients' money. This approach is very important in private client-funded practice, saving you money and giving you much better cost-effectiveness.
TREES AND FRESH OXYGEN REDUCE STRESS BLOOD PRESSURE AND CRIME RATES ("BBC News" 5th December 2021)
It is clearly evidenced in numeroused published research papers, the incredible benefits that Trees offer to greatly improve our moods and locality crime rates. It was highlighted on the 5th December 2021, by BBC News Channel, that the Welsh Government were spending £2 million to plant 1.3 million trees in Wales by 2030. People can either plant their own tree, with an assisted woodland outreach scheme, or request that they be planted on their behalf. This ground breaking and welcome intervention by the Welsh Government is a result of them looking at many published research papers over the last 20 years worldwide. This Welsh initiative is being led on the groundfloor level and policy level by Coed Cadw (The Woodland Trust) in Cardiff. The UK Government are estimating that they need to plant 86 million trees by 2030. We have known for a long time that planting extra trees help stops landslides and increases land stability. But, research over the last few years has proven extra benefits. These new benefits are increased carbon capture, more better fresher oxygen from leaves (via carbon dioxide conversion to oxygen in the air).
The research and improved understanding of increased tree planting, can be seen even just looking at trees or visualising trees and slow breathing (elements of Mindfulness). See below four out of the fifteen of the in-depth peer-reviewed published research papers:

OBESITY MORE CANCER RISK THAN SMOKING ("Cancer Research UK" 3rd July 2019)
Research lead by Cancer Research UK along with Cancer UK, Bowel Cancer UK and National Obesity Forum shows obesity is rivalling smoking as a cause of cancer, responsible for more cases of bowel, kidney, ovarian and liver cancer than cigarettes, according to the UK's leading cancer charity Cancer Research UK. Smoking is still the biggest cause of cancer, but Cancer Research UK has warned that government action to tackle obesity is vital, because it is a significant factor in 13 different types of cancer. Obese people now outnumber smokers by two to one.
Michelle Mitchell, the charity's chief executive, said: "As smoking rates fall and obesity rates rise, we can clearly see the impact on a national health crisis when the government puts policies in place – and when it puts its head in the sand.
"Our children could be a smoke-free generation, but we've hit a devastating record high for childhood obesity, and now we need urgent government intervention to end the epidemic. They still have a chance to save lives."
Excess weight causes about 1,900 more cases of bowel cancer than smoking in the UK each year, said Cancer Research UK. There are also 1,400 more cases of kidney cancer caused by excess weight than by smoking each year, 460 more ovarian cancers and 180 more cases of liver cancer.
The charity issued its warning as figures were released by Public Health England and the Office for National Statistics showing the decline in smoking in the UK. There has been a big reduction in the overall smoking rate to 14.7% last year, down five percentage points from 2011.
Across the UK, 26% of the adult population were classified as obese in 2016, while 40% of men and 30% of women were overweight.
Simon Stevens, the chief executive of NHS England, said: "Although cancer survival is at a record high, this significant progress is in danger of being undone by the fast-growing epidemic of obesity, given excess weight is linked to 13 types of cancer."This study is further proof that obesity is the new smoking, and the NHS can't win the 'battle against the bulge' on its own; families, food businesses and government all need to play their part if we're to avoid copying America's damaging and costly example."
POOR DIETS CAUSE 11 MILLION EARLY DEATHS WORLDWIDE ("The British Nutrition Foundation" 4th April 2019)
New big study published by British Nutrition Foundation (conducted worldwide) proves that diets high in fat, high in salt and high in sugar lead to very increased cancer risks; type 2 diabetes, heart disease, overall earlier death, etc. Also diets low in wholegrains, vegetables and fruit lead to the same very increased cancer risks, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, overall earlier death etc.
Another food to avoid is red meat which creates more of a danger than white meat (e.g. chicken).
An added bonus of a more healthy diet - of low fat, low sugar, low salt, high fruit, high vegetables, high fibre, will greatly help your fight to lose weight quickly, or be part of your longer-term weight-loss, health eating programme.
Regular Cannabis Significantly Increases Risk of Psychosis ('The Journal Lancet Psychiatry', March 20th 2019)
There has been clear evidence published by 'The Journal Lancet Psychiatry', presenting conclusive proof that regular cannabis use significantly increases the risk by 500% of someone later suffering from forms of Psychosis, (especially Schizophrenia but also Bi-Polar). This long and detailed study was led and conducted at the Kings College, London.
High-Potency Cannabis Destroys Part of the Brain ('The Psychological Medicine Journal', 2015-2016)
Evidence published by 'The Psychological Medicine Journal', presents clear proof that regular cannabis use can critically damage an important part of the brain called The Corpus Callosum. This results in a marked increase of someone later suffering from forms of Psychosis (especially Schizophrenia but also Bi-Polar). This in-depth study was led and conducted at the University of Rome in partnership with Kings College, London.
Smoking powerful skunk cannabis multiplies by 5 times the risk of suffering a serious psychotic episode, scientists have found.
In the population studied by the researchers in south London, where cannabis use is widespread, the drug is linked to one quarter of all new cases of psychosis, the team found.
The findings add to a compelling body of evidence that smoking strong cannabis "tilts the odds" towards a person developing psychosis, which leads to schizophrenia in about half of cases.
The study found that those who smoked skunk every day had five times the normal risk of experiencing extended episodes in which they heard voices, suffered delusions or demonstrated erratic behaviour.
Sir Robin Murray, professor of psychiatric research at King's College London, said there was now clear evidence for a casual link between smoking strong cannabis and the risk of mental illness. "The argument initially was that the people who are going to smoke cannabis are a bit odd anyway," he said. "In south London, two-thirds of people have used cannabis and it seems unlikely that two-thirds of people are abnormal".
Between 2005 and 2011, the scientists worked with 410 patients, aged 18-65, who presented at south London hospitals with a first episode of psychosis and had shown symptoms such as hearing voices or suffering delusions for at least a month. A further 370 healthy participants from the same area were included as controls.
the study, published in 'The Journal Lancet Psychiatry', showed that cannabis potency and frequency of use were strongly linked to the risk of developing mental health problems - factors that the authors claim are often overlooked by doctors.
Murray added that since 2011 when the study ended, cannabis has generally been increasing in potency, with synthetic varieties such as "Spice" having been linked to acute episodes of psychosis (Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar, etc).
Working with children, UK Hypnotherapy in Schools Programme (2014)
The following research information and data is from the CNHC Publication December 2014. CNHC registered hypnotherapist Caroline Dyson is the founder, director and lead clinical hypnotherapist for the Hypnotherapy in Schools Programme (HISP). The programme uses clinical hypnotherapy in educational settings to support the learning and general wellbeing of pupils and staff. HISP started in Coventry in early 2011 with a pilot project in a secondary school looking at using hypnotherapy to help pupils with exam anxiety. The results were so encouraging that the authority fully incorporated hypnotherapy as one of the many approaches that schools/colleges could choose to use with their pupils. Caroline, who has a background in teaching and local authority Behaviour Support Services, commented: "I set up the programme to try and make hypnotherapy accessible to a wide range of pupils and not just those whose parents could afford private sessions. I also wanted to help hypnotherapy become more 'mainstream' and accepted as an approach for children/young people, in line with other therapies such as counselling." The programme developed and expanded so that just four years later, over 20 different schools (primary, secondary and special schools) have all chosen to use hypnotherapy, with many using it on a regular weekly basis. Caroline explained: "Some settings use hypnotherapy for individual pupils with specific issues such as anxiety/panic attacks, self-esteem/confidence, phobias, sleeping difficulties or pain control. Some use it on a group basis, for examples, for pupils experiencing significant anxiety around taking exams or assessments". An evaluation held in December 2014 indicates that 74% of pupils achieved or exceeded at least one of their targets while 93% of pupils achieved at least ¾ progressions towards one or more of their targets. Some pupils were able to significantly reduce medication (with proper medical advice) or pass exams they had previously been too anxious to even attend. HISP is now being used by schools in other authorities and Caroline is training CNHC registered hypnotherapists to become HISP Practitioners so that this approach can be used across the country. Caroline commented: "CNHC registration is important to me as it ensures that a good standard of training must have been achieved and saves me checking each individual hypnotherapy training school/college course content and requirements."
Breast Cancer Recovery, Saint-Luc University Hospital Brussels (2014)
It is official - according to a report in today's Daily Mail newspaper (December 11th 2014), women undergoing surgery for breast cancer recover more quickly when hypnosis is used beforehand. These patients spend less time in hospital and if they need chemotherapy afterwards they will have fewer side-effects. The process works by having the anaesthetist talk gently to them before a local anaesthetic is administered. Women who do not have hypnotherapy and are given general anaesthetics take longer to recover and experience more unwanted side effects. At the Clinique's Universitaires Saint-Luc hospital in Brussels, doctors claim that due to the success of hypnosis a fifth of their patients will now be given hypnotherapy. Research that was presented in Texas at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium compared 110 women who had been given hypnosis with the same number who had standard surgery and the result was that the hypnotized patient's recovery time in hospital was reduced by more than 24 hours. A third of these who went on to have chemotherapy or radiotherapy experienced less severe nausea and fatigue than the group who had standard surgery. The hospital researcher, Dr Martine Berliere stated that the hypnotized patients were much more positive regarding their discharge from hospital and this is attributed to the possibility that hypnosis can boost the immune system.
Tinnitus, Berlin University of Medicine (2006)
Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) in Germany includes not only directive counselling and sound therapy but also stress management and facultative psychotherapeutic treatment. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of this modified version of TRT on certain tinnitus-related aspects of distress and variables that may predict treatment outcome. Clinical data from 92 patients undergoing outpatient TRT in the Charite Tinnitus Centre were evaluated retrospectively over 1 year. Treatment outcome was defined by changes in specific areas of tinnitus-related distress and assessed by the Tinnitus Questionnaire. Changes in audiometric frequency and loudness of tinnitus were examined by regular audiometric testing. The overall Tinnitus Questionnaire score was significantly reduced after 1 year. Severely affected tinnitus sufferers (decompensated tinnitus) profited more than less affected patients (compensated tinnitus). In cases of indicated psychotherapy, improvement was significant for the patients who took advantage of psychotherapeutic treatment during TRT but was not significant for those who interrupted or dismissed an indicated psychotherapy. Changes in tinnitus-specific areas of distress were most pronounced in the scales for emotional and cognitive distress and intrusiveness. Significant changes in sleep disturbances, auditory perceptual difficulties and somatic complaints were observed in patients with decompensated tinnitus. In patients with chronic tinnitus, modified TRT may lead to significant subjective improvement in certain tinnitus-related symptoms like emotional and cognitive distress and intrusiveness. Particularly patients suffering from severe tinnitus distress take advantage of therapy. Careful psychotherapeutic diagnostics and therapies and, if necessary, motivation to make use of psychotherapy seem to be essential preconditions for therapeutic success in patients with severe psychosomatic comorbidity.
Weight Loss, Connecticut University USA (2005)
An in-depth detailed study of Weight Loss / Weight Management from the Connecticut University analysed 18 separate clinical trials comparing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) such as relaxation training, guided imagery, self-monitoring or goal setting with the same therapy plus also Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy. Those receiving also Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy lost more weight than 90 percent of the non-hypnosis, and still maintained the Weight Loss even 2 years after the treatment clinical trials ended.
Anxiety, Smoking, Pain, Konstanz University (2003)
A meta-analysis is formed from experts making conclusions, by comparing & combining many different earlier trials. In 2003, perhaps the most recent meta-analysis of the efficacy of hypnotherapy was published by two researchers from the University of Konstanz in Germany, Flammer and Bongartz. The study examined data on the efficacy of hypnotherapy across the board, though studies included mainly related to psychosomatic illness, test anxiety, smoking cessation and pain control during orthodox medical treatment. Most of the better research studies used traditional-style hypnosis, only a minority (19%) employed Ericksonian hypnosis. The authors considered a total of 444 studies on hypnotherapy published prior to 2002. By selecting the best quality and most suitable research designs for meta-analysis they narrowed their focus down to 57 controlled trials. These showed that on average hypnotherapy achieved at least 64% success compared to 37% improvement among untreated control groups. (Based on the figures produced by binomial effect size display or BESD). According to the authors this was an intentional underestimation. Their professed aim was to discover whether, even under the most sceptical weighing of the evidence, hypnotherapy was still proven effective. They showed conclusively that it was. In fact, their analysis of treatment designs concluded that expansion of the meta-analysis to include non-randomized trials for this data base would also produce reliable results. When all 133 studies deemed suitable in light of this consideration were re-analysed, providing data for over 6,000 patients, the findings suggest an average improvement in 27% of untreated patients over the term of the studies compared with a 74% success rate among those receiving hypnotherapy. This is a high success rate given the fact that many of the studies measured included the treatment of addictions and medical conditions. The outcome rates for anxiety disorders alone, traditionally hypnotherapy's strongest application, were higher still.
Board of British Psychological Society, UK (2001)
The Professional Affairs Board of the British Psychological Society (BPS) commissioned a group of expert psychologists to publish a report: 'The Nature of Hypnosis'. Its aim was 'to provide a considered statement about hypnosis and important issues concerning its application and practice in the following contexts: clinical purposes, forensic investigation, academic research, entertainment and training.' The report provides a sharp 20-page summary of the current scientific research on hypnosis, opening with the following introductory remarks: ''Hypnosis is a valid subject for scientific study and research and a proven therapeutic medium. With regard to the therapeutic uses of hypnosis, the BPS arrives at much more positive conclusions. Enough studies have now accumulated to suggest that the inclusion of hypnotic procedures may be beneficial in the management and treatment of a wide range of conditions and problems encountered in the practice of medicine, psychiatry and psychotherapy''. The working party then provided an overview of some of the most important contemporary research on the efficacy of clinical hypnotherapy, which is summarized as follows: ''There is convincing evidence that hypnotic procedures are effective in the management and relief of both acute and chronic pain and in assisting in the alleviation of pain, discomfort and distress due to medical and dental procedures and childbirth. Hypnosis and the practice of self-hypnosis may significantly reduce general anxiety, tension and stress in a manner similar to other relaxation and self-regulation procedures. Likewise, hypnotic treatment may assist in insomnia in the same way as other relaxation methods. There is encouraging evidence demonstrating the beneficial effects of hypnotherapeutic procedures in alleviating the symptoms of a range of complaints that fall under the heading 'psychosomatic illness. These include tension headaches and migraine; asthma; gastro-intestinal complaints such as irritable bowel syndrome, warts and possibly other skin complaints such as eczema, psoriasis and urticarial. There is evidence from several studies that its inclusion in a weight reduction program may significantly enhance outcome."
Stress & Immune System, Journal of Consulting & Clinical Psychology, (2001)
Many well-published studies around the world concluded that periods of Anxiety or Stress can severely hinder the body's immune system. Now notable Researchers say people may be able to fight back with the stress-relieving techniques of Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy. Researchers analysed 33 medical and dental students during relatively low-stress periods then around the time of the first major exam. The investigators found that during exam time, the Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy students launched Stronger Immune Responses compared with students who did not learn the Stress-Reducing technique. And the more often students practiced the anxiety and relaxation strategy the stronger their immune response.
De-Stress, Relax and Live Longer with Cancer, Hull University (2001)
It was discovered that patients with Hodgkin's Disease or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (Cancers) live longer if they receive anxiety-relieving relaxation with Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy treatment along with standard chemotherapy alone. Leslie Walker of Hull University studied 63 patients with newly diagnosed Cancers, all of whom were receiving Chemotherapy and standard Anti-Nausea drugs. "We found that the patients who had received relaxation with Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy lived significantly longer," he says.
Anxiety, Panic, Pain, Nausea, Sleep, The British Medical Journal, UK (1999)
The British Medical Journal (BMJ) published a Clinical Review of current medical research on hypnotherapy and relaxation therapies, it concludes: ''There is strong evidence from randomised trials of the effectiveness of hypnosis and relaxation for cancer related anxiety, pain, nausea, and vomiting, particularly in children. They are also effective for panic disorders and insomnia, particularly when integrated into a package of cognitive therapy (including, for example, sleep hygiene). A systematic review has found that hypnosis enhances the effects of cognitive behavioural therapy for conditions such as phobia, obesity, and anxiety. Randomized controlled trials support the use of various relaxation techniques for treating both acute and chronic pain. Randomized trials have shown hypnosis to be of value in asthma and in irritable bowel syndrome. Some practitioners claim that relaxation techniques particularly the use of imagery, can prolong life. There is currently insufficient evidence to support this claim."
Increased Healing of Bone Fractures, Harvard Medical School (1999)
Research on the use of Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy to enhance physical healing. One group had individual Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy sessions and listened to Self-Hypnosis audio tapes designed to increase Bone Healing, the other group did not have this. The results clearly showed a much faster healing for the Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy group. The group who had the benefit of receiving Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy also had much better Mobility and used far less pain killers.
Chronic Pain and Insomnia, National Institute of Health (1999)
An expert panel assembled by the National Institutes of Health found that the use of Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy, Biofeedback, Meditation, and other behavioural therapies should be used more widely for the treatment of Chronic Pain and Insomnia (Sleep Problems). Further, the panel said those therapies should be reimbursed by health insurance along with standard medical care.
Tinnitus, Uppsala University, Sweden (1998)
Meta-analysis is a technique of combining results from different trials in order to obtain estimates of effects across studies. Meta-analysis has, as yet, rarely been used in audiological research. The aim of this paper was to conduct a meta-analysis on psychological treatment of tinnitus. The outcomes of 18 studies, including a total of 24 samples and up to 700 subjects, were included and coded. Included were studies on cognitive/cognitive-behavioural treatment, relaxation, hypnosis, biofeedback, educational sessions and problem-solving. Effect sizes for perceived tinnitus loudness, annoyance, negative affect (e.g. depression) and sleep problems were calculated for randomized controlled studies, pre-post-treatment design studies and follow-up results. Results showed strong to moderate effects on tinnitus annoyance for controlled studies (d = 0.86), pre-post designs (d = 0.5) and at follow-up (d = 0.48). Results on tinnitus loudness were weaker and disappeared at follow-up. Lower effect sizes were also obtained for measures of negative affect and sleep problems. Exploratory analyses revealed that cognitive-behavioural treatments were more effective on ratings of annoyance in the controlled studies. It is concluded that psychological treatment for tinnitus is effective, but that aspects such as depression and sleep problems may need to be targeted in future studies.
Preparing for Surgery, Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery (1997)
A controlled study of 32 Coronary Bypass (Heart Surgery) patients showed that those taught self-Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy pre-operatively, were much more relaxed after surgery and had far less need for pain medication.
Erectile Dysfunction, British Journal of Urology, UK (1996)
A detailed controlled study of 79 men with Impotence (difficulty maintaining an erection) from no known organic cause, only Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy proved more effective than a placebo (empty tablet), boosting sexual function by 80%.
Tinnitus, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta 30912, USA (1996)
One out of every five individuals experiences tinnitus. Tinnitus is the tenth most common presenting complaint among the elderly in primary care. Although tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss, chronic noise exposure, and medications, its etiology frequently goes undetected. Diagnosis of subjective idiopathic tinnitus is established by a comprehensive health history, physical examination, and office and laboratory diagnostic assessments. Patients who suffer from this chronic symptom report a dwindling in their quality of life, primarily because of the annoyance factor associated with tinnitus. Activities of daily living are affected in proportion to the intensity of the tinnitus. Examples of non-pharmacologic management include hearing aids for those with hearing loss, hypnotherapy, counselling, and masking. A number of medications have demonstrated some efficacy in the treatment of tinnitus. Ultimately, the practitioner is concerned with helping the individual live with subjective idiopathic tinnitus by promoting self-care activities to improve both physical and mental-emotional health.
Tinnitus, European Journal of Clinical Hypnosis (1996)
Two comparing cohorts were assembled in order to judge the efficiency of therapy: The first cohort was composed of 30 patients (18 women and 12 men) with an average age of 49.6 + – 13.6 (from 26 up to 74 years). They had been suffering for 7.6 + – 5.4 years (from 1 to 25 years) from therapy-resistant tinnitus: (n=9 right-sided, n=17 left-sided and n=4 bilateral). Possible reasons were: N=10 acute deafness, n=3 acute deafness more than once (recurrent attacks of acute deafness), n=8 whiplash injuries of the cervical column, n=4 after head injury, n =2 otosclerosis and n=3 suspicion of local infection. This study is of pilot character and is meant to give an impulse to doctors, especially to neuro-otologists, otolaryngologists and neurologists, to study hypnotherapy in order to apply it to patients. Although the statistics for this controlled parallel group study show significant results, they should be judged only as "good trends", because the control group was not interviewed all the time and the assessment of tinnitus intensity was carried out subjectively. Objective measurements (e.g. synthesiser technique) should be included in future. The author believes hypnotherapy in groups should be funded by insurance companies and that psychoanalysis is not useful in the therapy of neuro-otological diseases.

In this study we prospectively analysed 41 patients, 15 females and 26 males with a mean age of 54, who underwent three sessions of client-centred hypnotherapy for their tinnitus. Of these patients, 28 (68%) showed some benefit for their tinnitus 3 months after completing their hypnosis, and 13 (32%) showed no evidence of improvement for their tinnitus. Hearing loss was associated with a non-beneficial outcome for tinnitus treated with hypnotherapy. Of the non-beneficial group, 46% had a hearing loss of 30 db or more in their better-hearing ear compared to less than 15% in the beneficial group, a significant difference (X2 = 6.34, df = 1, p < 0.02). Client-centred hypnotherapy can be offered to anyone who wants to have therapy for their tinnitus; in those with significant hearing loss the benefit may be less.

The aim of this study was to assess whether Client Centred Hypnotherapy (CCH) which required three sessions with a trained Hypnotherapist was superior to a single counselling session in reducing the impact of tinnitus. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either counselling (n = 42) or CCH (n = 44). The outcome measures were: tinnitus loudness match, subjective tinnitus symptom severity score, trend of linear analogue scale, request for further therapy and whether the patient had an impression of improvement in their tinnitus after treatment. CCH was no better than counselling in reducing the impact of tinnitus using the three quantative measures of tinnitus, and requests for further follow up. The only significant difference between the two therapies was that 20 (45.5 per cent) of the CCH group reported a general sense of improvement compared to six (14.3 per cent) in the counselling group, this is significant p < 0.01. The study did not demonstrate whether this was a genuine hypnotic effect or simply a response to the additional attention from the therapist.
Tinnitus, American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis (1995)
Forty-two patients, suffering from chronic tinnitus, participated in our psychological orientated treatment consisting of hypnosis relaxation therapy with autogenic training according to J. H. Schultz. The results of individual therapy are compared with group therapy. Using visual analogy scales the therapeutical efficiency can be tested. The individual estimated loudness and annoyance of tinnitus are registered as well as a general emotional status. The results show a positive short-time effect in most cases. A reduction of tinnitus loudness and annoyance after individual and group therapy is seen directly. A positive effect throughout the whole treatment is only found in individual therapy. Concerning the group therapy, many of our patients reported an increase of the pre-therapeutical estimation of tinnitus loudness and -annoyance. We believe that the permanent confrontation with the tinnitus problem may advance the psychological conflict in many cases. Therefore psychological management of tinnitus should be concentrated on a temporary limited support aiming to the neglect of tinnitus sensation.
Pain and Insomnia, The National Institute for Health, USA (1995)
The National Institute for Health (NIH), in the US, established a Technology Assessment Conference that compiled an official statement entitled "Integration of Behavioural & Relaxation Approaches into the Treatment of Chronic Pain & Insomnia". This is an extensive report that includes a statement on the existing research in relation to hypnotherapy for chronic pain. It concludes that: 'The evidence supporting the effectiveness of hypnosis in alleviating chronic pain associated with cancer seems strong. In addition, the panel was presented with other data suggesting the effectiveness of hypnosis in other chronic pain conditions, which include irritable bowel syndrome, oral mucositis [pain and swelling of the mucus membrane], temporomandibular disorders [jaw pain], and tension headaches'.

In this study we prospectively analysed 41 patients, 15 females and 26 males with a mean age of 54, who underwent three sessions of client-centred hypnotherapy for their tinnitus. Of these patients, 28 (68%) showed some benefit for their tinnitus 3 months after completing their hypnosis, and 13 (32%) showed no evidence of improvement for their tinnitus. Hearing loss was associated with a non-beneficial outcome for tinnitus treated with hypnotherapy. Of the non-beneficial group, 46% had a hearing loss of 30 db or more in their better-hearing ear compared to less than 15% in the beneficial group, a significant difference (X2 = 6.34, df = 1, p < 0.02). Client-centred hypnotherapy can be offered to anyone who wants to have therapy for their tinnitus; in those with significant hearing loss the benefit may be less.
Tinnitus, Sheba Medical Centre, Tel Aviv (1993)
The efficacy of self-hypnosis (SH), masking (MA) and attentiveness to the patient's complaints (AT) in the alleviation of tinnitus was evaluated. Forty-five male patients close in age with chronic tinnitus related to acoustic trauma were assigned to three matched subgroups: SH, AT or MA. The therapeutic hypnosis stimuli in the SH and MA sessions, recorded on audio cassettes, were given to the patients for use when needed. Self-hypnosis significantly reduced the tinnitus severity; Attentiveness partially relieved the tinnitus; Masking did not have any significant effect.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), The Lancet, UK (1992)
A supervised British study of 18 adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) published in The Lancet (UK), found that Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy "strikingly" reduced colonic motility, thus decreasing diarrhoea, cramping and the severe and continuous abdominal discomfort felt by sufferers.
Tinnitus, American Journal Clinical Hypnosis (1991)
A group of 14 patients with unilateral tinnitus were selected because of the constant nature of their tinnitus, and its resistance to all other forms of therapy. They were subjected to hypnosis in three forms in random order. The induction of a trance state alone formed the control arm of the trial. Compared to this were the effects of 'ego boosting' and active suppression of tinnitus whilst in a trance state. One of the 14 patients showed a highly significant response to the latter treatment as judged by visual analogue scales. Five of the 14 patients (36%) found the induction of a hypnotic state of value. This seemed to help them tolerate their tinnitus better, although its loudness and quality were unaltered.
Anxiety, Tinnitus, Depression, Scandinavian Audiology (1990)
Client-therapist collaboration in the preparation of hypnosis interventions: case illustrations Cochrane GJ. Therapists can use hypnosis in a variety of situations to help clients utilize their own resources effectively. In both hetero-hypnosis and tape-assisted self-hypnosis, the respectful collaboration of therapist and client in the development of specific intervention strategies can be effective. I have described four cases to illustrate the collaborative aspect of hetero-hypnosis in a surgical setting and tape-assisted self-hypnosis for anxiety, tinnitus, and situational depression. In each case the clients were willing and able participants.
The American Medical Association, USA (1958)
A report was commissioned which endorsed the 1955 BMA's report (UK) and concludes, ''That the use of hypnosis has a recognized place in the medical armamentarium and is a useful technique in the treatment of certain illnesses when employed by qualified medical and dental personnel.'' The AMA approved this report rendering hypnotherapy an orthodox treatment, The Committee are of opinion that as a therapeutic agent hypnotism is frequently effective in relieving pain, procuring sleep, and alleviating many functional ailments [i.e., psycho-somatic complaints and anxiety disorders]. This report was approved by the general council of the BMA, thereby forming BMA policy and rendering hypnotherapy a form of "orthodox", as opposed to complementary or alternative, medicine. Subsequent research on hypnotherapy tended to highlight 4 main areas in which its efficacy as a treatment has been demonstrated being: (1) Anxiety, (2) Insomnia, (3) Pain Management, (4) Psycho-somatic disorders, i.e. stress-related illness.
Medical Use of Hypnosis, The British Medical Association, UK (1955)
The Psychological Medicine Group of the BMA commissioned a Subcommittee, to deliver a second, and more comprehensive, report on hypnosis. The Subcommittee consulted several experts on hypnosis from various fields, including the eminent neurologist Prof. W. Russell Brain, and the psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion. After two years of detailed study and clinical research, its final report was published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), under the title 'Medical use of Hypnotism'. The terms of reference were: To consider the uses of hypnotism, its relation to medical practice in the present day, the advisability of giving encouragement to research into its nature and application, and the lines upon which such research might be organized. This is a much more thorough and extensive report, and constitutes one of the most significant documents in the history of hypnotherapy research. With regard to efficacy, it concludes from a systematic review of available research that, The Subcommittee is satisfied after consideration of the available evidence that hypnotism is of value and may be the treatment of choice in some cases of so-called psycho-somatic disorder and psychoneurosis. It may also be of value for revealing unrecognized motives and conflicts in such conditions. As a treatment, in the opinion of the Subcommittee it has proved its ability to remove symptoms and to alter morbid habits of thought and behaviour. In addition to the treatment of psychiatric disabilities, there is a place for hypnotism in the production of anaesthesia or analgesia for surgical and dental operations, and in suitable subjects it is an effective method of relieving pain in childbirth without altering normal childbirth. According to a statement of proceedings published elsewhere in the same edition of the BMJ, the report was officially 'approved at last week's Council meeting of the British Medical Association.' (BMA Council Proceedings, BMJ, April 23, 1955:1019). In other words, it was approved as official BMA policy. This statement goes on to say that, for the past hundred years there has been an abundance of evidence that psychological and physiological changes could be produced by hypnotism which were worth study on their own account, and also that such changes might be of great service in the treatment of patients.

or, learning to see like your camera – Part 1
Today's cameras are pretty smart. They know when you're shooting outside, or in. When you want to shoot a portrait or a close up. They can tell that you need to use a flash, and in some cases, will even find a smile and shoot it for you. But even with all of the advances in digital camera technology, the smartest camera is still not as smart as you are. The human brain is incredibly adept and nimble, and with a bit of training you'll begin to see things differently when looking through a viewfinder.
Understanding how cameras see the world is not intuitive. Our brains involuntarily adjust our irises to adjust for various brightnesses. Compared to even the best digital imaging devices, our eyes have the ability see in relatively bright or dim conditions. We'll also subconsciously adjust for variables in color temperature and relative brightness. These are advantages and abilities that film and digital devices simply don't have.
Most times our cameras do a pretty good job of properly exposing photos automatically. But in order to better express our creativity and our art, more in-depth understanding of exposure is key. A properly exposed image is one in which the appropriate amount of light reaches the image plane. Exactly how much light is needed will depend on a number of factors but the most important to the end user is the sensitivity of the chip (or film.) This sensitivity is expressed as an ISO (International Standards Organization) speed. Typical ISO ratings range from 50 to 3200. These values are linear in terms of sensitivity, ie, ISO 200 is twice as sensitive as 100. Generally speaking lower ISO speeds have less noise and higher resolving power than higher speeds. Many cameras, when set on full auto, will fluidly adjust ISO to adjust for a given situation. For the purposes of this lesson, we'll assume the ISO is fixed.
The other two factors to consider in proper exposure are shutter speed and aperture. These are the two factors that will usually be varied from shot to shot in a given session. The classic illustration for proper exposure is that of a glass filling with water from a tap. The object is to fill the glass all the way, but not overfill (overexpose) or underfill (underexpose.) If the tap is open all the way the glass takes 1/2 second to fill, if the tap is open half way, 1 second. Likewise, an exposure at f/2 for 1/2 second is the same as and exposure at f/2.8 for 1 second.
Note that each whole stop increase in aperture or shutterspeed increases the amount of light reaching the image plane by 2, each whole stop decrease halves the amount of light. So closing down from f/2 to f/2.8 decreases the flow of light by half. Lengthening shutterspeed from 1/2 second to 1 doubles time. It is at times counter-intuitive, increasing the f from 2 to 2.8 decreases the aperture, increasing the shutterspeed from 125 to 250 decreases exposure time. But it's helpful to remember these values are fractions, f/2 and f/2.8 represent the width of the lens opening divided by it's length, 125 and 250 are actually 1/125 and 1/250 of a second.
Most beginning photography courses restrict students to shooting black and white. There are a number of reasons for this however one key reason is that it eliminates one big variable associated with color photography – and that's color temperature. We'll address that in part 2.

The Process Begins
October 16, 1999 – by Per Christensson
I've begun the process of restructuring Sharpened.net. Hopefully, those of you who are regular visitors noticed something different. In the next few days, I hope to update the entire site with the new format. BTW, I fixed the error with the "Sharpened.net Poll" by deleting it. That seemed to work pretty well. Look for more updates in the near future.

Owl Class 2022 - 2023
Mrs Donaldson
Class Teacher
Mrs Chastney
Welcome to Early Years Foundation Stage at Randwick Primary School. Owl class has a smaller number of pupils than the other classes and is taught as a single year group giving pupils the best start possible, providing a personalised curriculum with a balance of structured play activities, both indoors and out, alongside the development of good basic skills in reading, writing and maths. Experiential learning is a priority for us and there are many opportunities for the children to discover and follow their own interests and develop their strengths.
Taking elements from outstanding Early Years leaders and practitioners, such as Anna Ephgrave, Alistair Bryce-Clegg and Greg Bottrill, our classroom and outside area have been developed to allow our children to develop into curious, active learners. Following a slightly different timetable to the rest of the school allows free flow play and lots of outside learning opportunities.
We focus on developing the Characteristics of Effective Learning (Revised EYFS) which are:
Playing and Exploring – investigate and explore, and 'have a go'
Active Learning – concentrate and keep trying if they encounter difficulties, and enjoy achievements
Creating and Thinking Critically – having and developing their own ideas, make links between ideas, and develop their own strategies
Our environment has been designed to support our children to be fully engaged in purposeful play of their own choice and interest, allowing for learning in all areas of development. Inside is the ideal place for the children to engage in calm, quieter activities using resources that would not survive the outdoor elements. We have developed an outdoor environment that does not simply mirror the inside setting, but allows different opportunities for play.
In EYFS the children initiate their own learning and the adults join them to support, scaffold and move their learning on. We provide free flow between inside and outside; all resources are available and accessible to the children at all times. Areas are clear, well stocked, tidy and often enhanced at the start of each day. The tables and carpet are free of equipment but the resources are available next to these areas; this allows the children to be in control of their learning. This means the children are able to choose from varied, high quality, open ended resources that they can combine to follow their own interests.
We review and reflect on the learning environment and resources regularly to ensure deep learning is able to take place, that areas are proving productive and that we are meeting the changing needs of our children. If an area or resource is not engaging the children in purposeful play then we enhance the area or adapt the classroom.
Throughout their first year we encourage writing for a purpose. By having fluid areas and mark making resources available in all areas, writing opportunities are combined into many aspects of the children's play – when using the workshop outside they might draw what they would like to make and write a list of extra items they will use. In the construction area they might make a robot and label the controls, or make a card and write a message.
The children experience maths in almost all areas of the classroom and we ensure there is appropriate equipment in all areas to facilitate this and resources are freely available to the children.
Children display the highest levels of involvement when they are pursuing their own interests in an environment that allows them to take risks and challenge themselves, supported by skilful staff. Adults in Owl class teach through observing and interacting with the children. They know the children very well and have a good understanding of child development; they are trained to spot the teachable moments, when children are engaged. They observe the children carefully, join them in activities when appropriate and engage in quality interactions (teaching) to move their learning on. We teach through modelling, suggesting, providing vocabulary or resources, explaining or encouraging. Each time an adult interacts with a child they are observing, assessing, planning for and responding to that individual child.
We follow a cycle of observation, assessment and planning using Development Matters, The National Strategy document and Learning, Playing and Interacting. We use topics to spark interests, in the moment planning and objective lead planning responding to children's interests.
