Lokomotiv-Versuchsamt Grunewald
[ "After the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft was founded in 1925 the Railway Central Office (\"Eisenbahn-Zentralamt\" or \"EZA\") that had existed since 1906 was renamed to the Reichsbahn Central Office (\"Reichsbahnzentralamt\" or \"RZA\").", "Amongst other things, they carried out numerous trials on steam locomotives and created the scientific basis for the performance measurement of railway vehicles.", "From 1920 they were supported by the Lokomotiv-Versuchsamt Grunewald, a locomotive trials office based at the main railway workshop at Grunewald.", "In 1936 there were 152 employees working for this research establishment.", "In 1945 the work at Grunewald ended, due to the war, and was continued in East Germany at \"RAW\" Dessau as well as in Halle, and in West Germany initially at Göttingen, and later in Minden and München.", "The Office had instrumentation vehicles, a rolling test bed with water brakes for locomotives and test rigs for various vehicle components.", "The following employees are particularly closely associated with the establishment:", "At the site today are a few Deutsche Bahn office buildings, several small firms and a golf course." ]

proposals for railways came from local initiatives, and that local municipalities and private investors would then pay about 20% of the investments, the state covering the rest, mostly through foreign debt.", "On 20 October 1871 two engineers traversed the two possible routes from Bergen to Voss; via Fana, Os and Hardangerfjord; and via Dale and Sørfjord.", "Though covering a less populated area,

construction.", "This import of labor had the effect of pumping money into the local economy, and several taverns were built along the line.", "There were some accidents, and several deaths among the workers.", "Construction finished in 1882 and some test services began, though not scheduled until the spring of 1883.", "Official opening was on 11 July 1883.", "Many of the navvies settled near the line, and started working for the Norwegian State Railways as part of the operation.", "On 27 November 1909 the Bergen Line opened from Voss to Hønefoss, and the Voss Line lost its independent

continuous traffic on the line, with 36 departures per day to Nesttun, six to Garnes and four to Voss.", "In preparation a few curves had to be straightened, the tunnels widened and the bridges strengthened.", "On the night of 10/11 August 1904 all the track was changed and in the morning the trains could operate on standard gauge to Voss.", "Norway is a country with abundance of hydroelectricity and NSB saw huge amounts of money burned with imported coal.", "Plans for electrification of the line are as old as the railway itself, and in 1912 the line from Nesttun to Bergen was proposed electrified and doubled, having seen the Thamshavn Line open with electric traction in 1908.", "During the planning of the Hardanger Line and the Flåm Line during the 1930s the suggestion again arose, and both the branch lines were built with electric traction, but not the main line.", "Counter suggestions were raised proposing a conversion to the locomotives running on oil or coal dust.", "In 1939 a plan for national electrification was launched, and the Voss Line was top priority.", "But the outbreak of World War II set the plans back, and not until the 1950s was it again possible to afford such investments.", "Electric traction came into use on 2 July 1954.", "The first from Bergen to Takvam went a very roundabout way, and it was clear that it would be possible to

Katz\") is often appropriate, it should no longer be regarded as mandatory.\"", "This case allowed judges to skip the question of whether or not a police officer used excessive force and to focus solely on whether or not the conduct violated clearly established law, which appeal courts have frequently done.", "Some legal experts assert that this has created a \"closed loop\" in which \"the case law gets frozen\" because it largely prevents the introduction of case law that clearly establishes new instances of the use of excessive force." ]

[ "Born in 1748 on Réunion, Michelle Sentuary was the younger daughter of Jean Sentuary and of Marie-Catherine Caillou.", "She was educated at Sainte-Suzanne, where her father had a plantation, and at Bordeaux, where in 1768 she married Jean-Cyrille Guesnon de Bonneuil, who had a post in the household of the comtesse d’Artois.", "She then came to Paris where her beauty, charm, conversation and talents in singing and painting (Hubert Robert gave her painting lessons in the Sainte-Pélagie Prison and she exhibited her floral still lifes at the 1795 Salon) made herself famous in artistocratic and intellectual circles.", "Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, her painting-tutor and friend, called her \"the most beautiful lady in Paris\", and she had her portrait produced by the pastellist Rosalie Filleul, the painter Alexander Roslin (who portrayed her in \"African\" costume), the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne and many other artists.", "A friend of poets, she belonged to the anacreontic circle at Marly known as \"la Caserne\", a strong institution freely inspired by Freemasonry.", "Its main hosts were three knight-poets - Évariste de Parny (author of erotic poetry), (who celebrated his sister Marie-Catherine under the name Eucharis) and Michel de Cubières.", "To finance new bribery within the princely household by her husband, Michelle de Bonneuil joined her sisters Marie-Catherine and Augustine-Françoise, Mmme Thilorier - the future Mme Jean-Jacques Duval d'Eprémesnil - as mistress to the rich financier Nicolas Beaujon, residing for some time at the hôtel d'Évreux.", "It was without doubt during this era of extreme dissipation that she met the Swiss banker Jean-Frédéric Perrégaux who she returned to at intervals until some time during the First Empire On his death, Nicolas Beaujon left her 100,000 livres that he had advanced her during his life.", "According to the painter John Trumbull on a trip to Paris, she moved in the highest spheres of French society and had come to be known as \"comtesse de Bonneuil\" - he wrote \"de Bonouil\" and was one of the most splendid ladies that he had never met.", "A friend of Anne de Caumont-Laforce, comtesse de Balbi, who she courted at the Luxembourg Palace where her husband (elder than her) had become first valet to the count of Provence.", "Mme de Bonneuil there took admiral John Paul Jones as a temporary lover and a lasting liaison with the comte de Vaudreuil, as well as other liaisons with the baron de Bruny de La Tour d'Aygues (who dedicated to her an engraving of a flute-playing satyr), the scholar marquis de Cubières (landowner of the Ermitage on the rue de Maurepas at Versailles, with whom she had a son, Amédée-Louis Despans (taking the name Cubières from 1803 on his adoption by his natural father), comte Charles de Sartines (son of the minister, he offered her a carriage bearing her own arms for a tour of Longchamp - the shield was formed from an open eye surmounted by a count's crown, placed above a cornucopia, surrounded by foxes, of which one was apparently \"éventré\" -, the comte de Caylus (who pretended to initiate her into illuminism).", "She later met the abbot Augustin Barruel who made her \"one of the ladies whom the searching sophists make their adepts, their females apostles\".", "Abbot Raynal especially sought to insinuate that her daily dinners promoted atheism - their attendees replied \"No, there is no God and it has to be said, and, as you repeat to others, in conversations, in circles, the truth must be known and become common\".", "A free and adventurous spirit, Mme de Bonneuil was also initiated into the mysteries of Cagliostro and the rites of Egyptian Freemasonry, of which her brother-in-law Jean-Jacques Duval d'Eprémesnil was one of the masters.", "Her sister's two husbands - Jacques Thilorier and Jean-Jacques Duval d'Eprémesnil -both belonged to the Loge des Neuf Sœurs, and it is very possible that Mme de Bonneuil was herself initiated into one of the Loges d'adoption féminine, before turning her back on the new ideas and the principals of philosophy which - after the Reign of Terror - she sincerely thought had led to the \"reign of the Jacobins\".", "In dispatches she wrote from Spain, she alluded to the Jacobins, who she held responsible for the horrors of the Terror, having not only narrowly escaped the guillotine herself but also lost her sister, brother-in-law and many of her friends (including the poet André Chénier who celebrated her in his \"Élégies\" under the names \"Camille\" (anagram of \"Micaëlle\" or Michelle) or \"d.z.n\" (of \"Sentuary d’Azan\") to it.", "On the arrival of the Revolution, Mme de Bonneuil shared ultra-conservative views with Jacques Antoine Marie de Cazalès, her latest lover, and of Jean-Jacques Duval d'Eprémesnil, noble députés who sat with abbot Jean-Sifrein Maury on the extreme right of the semicircle of seats at the Constituent assembly.", "From 1791, she was implicated in counter-revolutionary projects, of which few were as badly executed as the royal family's planned escape with others from the hôtel d'Esclignac, which ended in the plotters' arrest on 18 April 1791.", "She was linked in friendship with the most famous of the counter-revolutionaries, such as Louis-Alexandre de Launay comte d’Antraigues who she pretended to take to Le Scioto, in the United States, with \"only one of her hair\".", "In spring 1802, profiting from the treaty of Amiens and the opening of England to French men and women (closed to them since 1797), Mme de Bonneuil left for London where the new French ambassador Otto saw her passport in July 1802.", "In September she reached Edinburgh, where she was received in a private audience by the hard-to-meet comte d'Artois, maybe in the presence of his confident the comte de Vaudreuil." ]

Management of chronic headaches
[ "The most common chronic treatment method is the use of medicine.", "Many people try to seek pain relief from analgesic medicines (commonly termed pain killers), such as aspirin, acetaminophen, aspirin compounds, ibuprofen, and opioids.", "The long term use of opioids; however, appears to result in greater harm than benefit.", "Also, abortive medications can be used to \"stop a headache once it has begun\"; such drugs include ergotamine (Cafergot), triptans (Imitrex), and prednisone (Deltasone).", "However, medical professionals advise that abuse of analgesics and abortive medications can actually lead to an increase in headaches.", "The painkiller medicines help headaches temporarily, but as the \"quick fix\" wears off, headaches become more re-current and grow in intensity.", "These \"rebound headaches\" can actually make the body less responsive to preventive medication.", "The conditions keep worsening if one takes paracetamol, aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for 15 days a month or more.", "Therefore, analgesic and abortive medications are often advised for headaches that are not chronic in nature.", "The most common medicines used to treat chronic (daily) headaches are called prophylactic medicines, which are used to prevent headaches.", "Such preventive medication is taken on a daily basis, even when a person may not have a headache.", "Prophylactic medicines are recommended for chronic headache patients because varied experiments prove that the medications \"reduce the frequency, severity, and disability associated with daily headaches\".", "A majority of the prophylactic medications work by inhibiting or increasing neurotransmissions in the brain, often preventing the brain from interpreting pain signals.", "Preventive medicines include gabapentin (Neurontin), tizanidine (Zanaflex), fluoxetine (Prozac), amitriptyline (Elavil), and topiramate (Topamax).", "In testing, gabapentin was found to reduce the number of headache days a month by 9.1%.", "Tizanidine was found to decrease the average frequency of headaches per week, the headache intensity, and the mean headache duration.", "Through studies, Fluoxetine resulted in better mood ratings and \"significant increases in headache-free days\".", "Despite being associated with depression, antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, have been found to effectively treat \"near-daily headaches\" and numerous chronic pain conditions as well as improving mood and sleep—two possible triggers for chronic headache sufferers.", "One study found that the headache frequency over a 28-day period lowered for chronic headache patients on topiramate.", "Another medication to prevent headaches is botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA or BOTOX), which is given by injection instead of being taken orally.", "In a clinical study of botulinum toxin type A, patients participating in the 9-month treatment period with three treatments experienced headache frequency decreases up to 50%.", "As with all medications, the preventive medications may have side effects.", "Since different people respond to drugs differently, chronic headache sufferers may have to go through a \"trial-and-error\" period to find the right medications.", "The previously mentioned medicines can improve headaches, but physicians recommend multiple forms of treatments.", "In addition to medicines, physical therapy is a treatment to help improve chronic headaches.", "In physical therapy, a patient works together with a therapist to help identify and change physical habits or conditions that affect chronic headaches.", "Physical therapy for chronic daily headaches focuses on the upper body, including the upper back, neck, and face.", "Therapists assess and improve the

training helps to reduce internal tension, allowing a person to control headaches triggered by stress.", "The different relaxation methods are normally taught by a psychologist or a therapist.", "Relaxation training works as people become in tune with their own body, allowing them to realize when it is necessary to decrease tension before a headache occurs.", "The point of relaxation training is to teach people \"an attitude of consciously setting out to relax but not trying too hard\", enabling people to relax in everyday situations.", "Relaxation training includes two different types of methods: physical and mental.", "Physical relaxation methods involve actual body movement or action.", "One physical method for releasing tension involves \"purposefully tensing and then relaxing groups of muscles in a definite sequence\", which is named accordingly progressive muscle relaxation.", "Another physical method of relaxation is deep breathing.", "Deep breathing is done by breathing from the bottom of the lungs up, which is characterized by the rise and fall of the stomach, not the chest.", "These are the two most common physical methods of relaxation for chronic headache

parts.", "In \"deepening imagery\", a person imagines the body's tension as a meter of high to low, and works to reduce tension mentally.", "An additional mental strategy involves creating and

response.", "Meditation in a relaxing environment is also suggested to prevent headaches.", "Meditation often involves repeating a one syllable sound or staring at a visual object to help focus attention.", "Relaxation helps the body to unwind, preventing the formation of headaches.", "Biofeedback is often used to evaluate the effectiveness of relaxation training, because it feeds back information to the chronic headache sufferer about the \"body's (biological) current state\".", "One of the most common biofeedback tests is the Electromyograph (EMG), which evaluates the “electrical activity” produced by muscles.", "Biofeedback also can measure electrical brain activity through a test called the Electroencephalograph (EEG).", "Another test, called the thermograph, measures skin temperature, because when a person is relaxed they have increased blood flow and a higher temperature.", "Another method is BVP biofeedback training, which improves chronic headaches by teaching a patient how to regulate and decrease arterial pulse amplitudes by restricting the arteries.", "When tense, a person's sweat gland activity increases, which is measured by electrodermograph testing of the hands.", "Biofeedback methods have been proven to work.", "A study involving fifteen treatment sessions found that biofeedback was \"successful in reducing both frequency and severity of headache

time.", "Yet, others may not suggest diet modification at all.", "The treatment of chronic headaches through changes in diet is based on personal opinion, and, therefore, controversial.", "Also, behavioral therapy and psychological therapy are suggested treatments to reduce chronic headaches.", "Behavioral therapy and psychological therapy relate closely in their treatment methods, which

plausible or share their burdens with others.", "In this way, studies have found that patients with multimodal treatment in a group setting fare better than patients who follow multimodal treatment alone.", "Another behavioral study, which included multimodal treatment, showed that the \"frequency of severe headaches was reduced by a clinically significant amount for 75% of the patients\".", "Behavioral and psychological therapies work to identify and eliminate or reduce stressful situations that lead to chronic headaches.", "Beyond behavioral modification, psychological therapy has a few

treatments\", such as depression.", "Also, psychological therapy suggests training in self-hypnosis.", "While hypnotized, patients are given suggestions to relax and use visual imagery to control headache mechanisms, which is very similar to relaxation therapy.", "Psychological therapists also analyze personal issues that may interfere in a chronic headache patient's life, making him or her unable to make changes in lifestyle to improve headaches.", "Psychologist or psychiatric help for chronic headache patients is controversial, as a patient must be open to possible psychological

of the amygdala with resultant distortion of neurotransmission.", "Adolescents, females and young adults are most sensitive to the neuropsychological effects of binge drinking.", "Adolescence, in particular early adolescence, is a developmental stage that is particularly vulnerable to the neurotoxic and neurocognitive adverse effects of binge drinking due to it being a time of significant brain development.", "Binge drinking regimes are associated with causing an imbalance between inhibitory and excitatory amino acids and changes in monoamines release in the central nervous system, which increases neurotoxicity and may result in cognitive impairments, psychological problems and in long-term heavy binge drinkers may cause irreversible brain damage in both adolescents and adults.", "While several rat studies indicate that alcohol is more toxic during adolescence than adulthood, some researchers believe that it remains unclear whether this is also the case in humans.", "Though heavy binge drinking adolescent humans show impaired brain activity during memory tests and underdeveloped brain structures compared to adolescents who did not binge-drink, they argue that these findings are similar to adults who did not have alcohol use disorder during adolescence.", "Extrapolation from animal studies to humans is notoriously difficult, and a review by the group Choose Responsibility concluded that alcohol's long-term damage to cognitive processes was the same regardless of whether heavy drinking commenced during adolescence or later.", "Binge drinking is a more important factor rather than average alcohol intake, with regard to the severity of alcohol induced damage to the fetus.", "Alcohol has definite long-term adverse effects on the fetus, in particular impaired attentional skills and may lead to psychiatric disorders when the child grows up.", "In a 2005 study in the US, approximately one in five non-pregnant women binge-drank and one in 25 pregnant women binge-drank.", "Binge drinking during pregnancy is associated with fetal alcohol syndrome, alcohol-related birth defects as well as alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorders.", "The affected children after birth can suffer mental retardation and problems with learning, memory, attention, problem solving and problems with mental health and social interactions.", "Deformities in facial features, skeletal and body organs as well as a smaller head circumference are also sometimes present in these children.", "Studies in sheep indicate that fetal neurotoxicity induced by alcohol may be due to acidaemia and hypercapnia.", "Binge drinking three or more times during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of stillbirth.", "Binge drinking is also associated with strokes and sudden death.", "Binge drinking increases the risk of stroke by 10 times.", "In countries where binge drinking is commonplace, rates of sudden death on the weekend in young adults and middle aged people increase significantly.", "The withdrawal phase after an episode of binge drinking is particularly associated with ischaemic stroke as well as subarachnoid haemorrhage and intracerebral haemorrhage in younger men.", "In individuals with an underlying cardiac disorder a binge on alcohol increases the risk of silent myocardial ischaemia as well as angina.", "Binge drinking has negative effects on metabolism, lipid profile, blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, blood pressure and vascular tone and is associated with embolic stroke and acute myocardial infarction.", "Due to these risks experts believe that it is extremely important to warn people of the risks of binge drinking.", "Binge-drinking by people otherwise considered to be light drinkers is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular problems and mortality.", "Binge drinking increases cardiovascular toxicity due to its adverse effects on the electrical conduction system of the heart and the process of atherothrombosis.", "Excessive alcohol consumption is responsible for an average of 80,000 deaths in the U.S. each year1 and $223.5 billion in economic costs in 2006.2 More than half of these deaths and three-quarters of the economic costs are due to binge drinking1 and 2 (≥4 drinks for women; ≥5 drinks for men, per occasion).", "The bladder may rupture if overfilled and not emptied.", "This can occur in the case of binge drinkers having consumed very large quantities, but are not aware, due to stupor, of the need to urinate.", "This condition is very rare in women, but it does occur.", "Symptoms include localized pain and uraemia (poisoning due to reabsorbed waste).", "The recovery rate is high, with most fatalities due to septic blood poisoning.", "A person is more likely to urinate while passed out before the bladder ruptures, as alcohol relaxes the muscles that normally control their bladder.", "The most common risk of consuming massive quantities of alcohol in a short period of time is a dangerously high blood alcohol level.", "The result is called alcohol poisoning (overdose), which can be fatal.", "Choking on (or inhalation of) vomit is also a potential cause of death, as are injuries from falls, fights, motor vehicle and bicycle accidents.", "Nine percent of college students who binge drink drive after binge drinking.", "Another common risk is a blackout (alcohol-related amnesia), which can cause shame, guilt, embarrassment, harm to personal relationships, injury or death, and is also associated with the loss of personal belongings.", "A recent study conducted on an American College tested to discover if excessive binge drinking would have an effect on the cardiovascular system.", "From the results they received they found alterations in the binge drinker's macrocirculation and microcirculation functions which may be sign of a risk in cardiovascular disease.", "The study suggests that binge drinkers with a past history of strong binge drinking should be screened regularly.", "Binge drinking has the propensity to result in brain damage faster as well as more severely than chronic drinking (alcoholism), due to the neurotoxic effects of the repeated rebound withdrawal effects.", "During the repeated alcohol free stages associated with binge drinking, a larger amount of glutamate is released than occurs during withdrawal from chronic heavy alcohol use; additionally this extreme release of glutamate happens on a repeated basis in binge drinkers leading to excitotoxicity.", "The tolerance that occurs during chronic ('non-stop') drinking delays alcohol-related brain damage compared to binge drinking, which induced immediate and repeated insults to the brain.", "Impairments in impulse control in binge drinkers, which is more prominent in female binge drinkers, is due to dysfunction of the frontal lobe.", "The findings in humans have been largely concordant with animal studies.", "Such animal studies find that heavy and regular binge drinking causes neurodegeneration in corticolimbic brain regions areas that are involved in learning and spatial memory, such as the olfactory bulb, piriform cortex, perirhinal cortex, entorhinal cortex, and the hippocampal dentate gyrus.", "A study in rats found that a heavy two-day drinking binge caused extensive neurodegeneration in the entorhinal cortex with resultant learning deficits.", "While brain damage from binge drinking is known to occur as a result of binge drinking patterns, it is unclear how long drinking sessions last and how regular binge drinking is done to cause brain damage in humans.", "One study found that humans who drank at least 100 drinks (male) or 80 drinks (female) per month (concentrated to 21 occasions or less per month) throughout a three-year period had impaired decision making skills compared to non-binge drinkers.", "Repeated acute withdrawal from alcohol, which occurs in heavy binge drinkers, has been shown in several studies to be associated with cognitive deficits as a result of neural kindling; neural kindling due to repeated withdrawals is believed to be the mechanism of cognitive damage in both binge drinkers and alcoholics.", "Neuronal kindling also leads to each subsequent acute withdrawal episode being more severe than previous withdrawal episodes.", "Blackouts, a form of amnesia that occurs in binge drinkers may be due to suppressed hippocampus function with rebound NMDA (glutamate) activity combined with excessive glucocorticoid release induced by the stress of repeated intoxication followed by acute withdrawal/abstinence is the proposed mechanism of neural kindling leading to neurotoxicity of structures involved in learning and memory within the brain of binge drinkers.", "Frontal lobe processing may become impaired as a result of binge drinking with resultant neurocognitive deficits and impaired working memory.", "Alcohol suppresses brain function during intoxication; but upon withdrawal rebound effects occur in the glutamate/NMDA system and with excess glutamate activity glucocorticoid release; due to the repeated intoxication, followed by acute withdrawal, a neurotoxic effect that damages the central nervous system develops, leading to persisting impairments in verbal and nonverbal cognitive abilities as well as impairment of spatial orientation.", "Due to developmental processes occurring during adolescence including myelinization and restructuring of the synapses, adolescents are thought to be more vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol.", "Age and genetic factors influence the risk of developing alcohol-related neurotoxicity.", "Adolescence, especially early adolescence (i.e. before age 15), is a critical and delicate developmental stage when specialised neuronal and synaptic systems mature.", "This critical developmental stage is where lifelong adult traits e.g., talents, reasoning and complex skills mature; however alcohol and in particular binge drinking may disrupt and interfere with this developmental process.", "Adolescence is also a period of development characterised by a high level of novel seeking, thrill seeking and risk taking behaviour and thus alcohol and other drug experimentation and abuse is common.", "An adolescent rat study found that a short exposure to high levels of alcohol resulted in long-lasting changes to functional brain activity with corresponding abnormalities in EEG brain waves that persisted into adulthood, including persisting disturbances in sleep EEG with a reduction in slow wave sleep.", "These EEG findings are similar to premature aging.", "According to one review of the literature, if the developmental stage of adolescence is similar to the developmental stage of the fetus with regard to sensitivity to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol, and if long-lasting or permanent damage to the brain occurs similar to what animal studies suggest, then this represents a major public health issue due to the high levels of alcohol use by adolescents.", "Indeed, alcohol can affect the remodeling and functional changes in synaptic plasticity and neuronal connectivity in different brain regions that occurs during adolescence (\"see this related article\").", "An alcohol use disorder may develop when a person continues to drink heavily despite recurrent social, interpersonal, and/or legal problems.", "Behaviorally, frequent binge drinking is usually involved, but not everyone who engages in binge drinking develops an alcohol use disorder.", "For the purpose of identifying an alcohol use disorder when assessing binge drinking, using a time frame of the past 6 months eliminates false negatives.", "For example, it has been found that using a narrow two week window for assessment of binge drinking habits leads to 30% of heavy regular binge drinkers wrongly being classed as not having an alcohol use disorder.", "However, the same researchers also note that recall bias is somewhat enhanced when longer timeframes are used.", "Binge drinking is considered harmful, regardless of a person's age, and there have been calls for healthcare professionals to give increased attention to their patients’ drinking habits, especially binge drinking.", "Some researchers believe that raising the legal drinking age and screening brief interventions by healthcare providers are the most effective means of reducing morbidity and mortality rates associated with binge drinking.", "Programs in the United States have thought of numerous ways to help prevent binge drinking.", "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests increasing the cost of alcohol or the excise taxes, restricting the number of stores who may obtain a license to sell liquor (reducing \"outlet density\"), and implementing stricter law enforcement of underage drinking laws.", "There are also a number of individual counseling approaches, such as motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral approaches, that have been shown to reduce drinking among heavy drinking college students.", "In 2006, the Wisconsin Initiative to Promote Healthy Lifestyles implemented a program that helps primary care physicians identify and address binge drinking problems in patients.", "In August 2008, a group of college presidents calling itself the Amethyst Initiative asserted that lowering the legal drinking age to 18 (presumably) was one way to curb the \"culture of dangerous binge drinking\" among college students.", "This idea is currently the subject of controversy.", "Proponents argue that the 21 law forces drinking underground and makes it more dangerous than it has to be, while opponents have claimed that lowering the age would only make the situation worse.", "Despite health warnings, most Australian women drink at least one night a week.", "But experts are warning they are not only damaging their bodies but are also at risk of attracting sexual predators.", "Research shows ways to reduce binge drinking or engage in dangerous drinking.", "Some computer-based intervention appear to reduce binge drinking, an example of which is \"rethinking drinking\".", "Understanding consumer personality and how people view others is important.", "People were shown ads talking of the harmful effects of binge drinking.", "People who valued close friends as a sense of who they are, were less likely to want to binge drink after seeing an ad featuring them and a close friend.", "People who were loners or who did not see close friends important to their sense of who they were reacted better to ads featuring an individual.", "A similar pattern was shown for ads showing a person driving at dangerous speeds.", "This suggests ads showing potential harm to citizens from binge drinking or dangerous driving are less effective than ads highlighting a person's close friends.", "In 2009 the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing spent $53.5 million Australian Dollars on National Binge Drinking Strategy to target young Australians.", "This campaign titled \"Don't Turn a Night Out Into a Nightmare\" was delivered to the public over many mass media platforms to show the harms and consequences of risky single occasion drinking (RSOD) as binge drinking is defined in Australia.", "Evidence as to the effectiveness of these types of campaigns is mixed.", "Research needs to be completed to ensure that the effectiveness of the messages are resulting in a positive shift in the behaviours of the target audience.", "Due to the risks especially in adolescents, of cognitive impairments and possible irreversible brain damage associated with binge drinking, urgent action has been recommended.", "There is some evidence that interventions by employers such as, health and lifestyle checks, psychosocial skills training and peer referral, can reduce the level of binge drinking.", "In the US brief motivational interventions have shown some benefit in reducing future binge drinking.", "Adolescents who misuse alcohol can benefit from interventions aimed at risk reduction.", "For more severe cases an intervention involving parents, guardians, or a psychotherapist is recommended.", "An effective strategy of intervention for adolescents whose binge drinking leads to admission to hospital, e.g. for alcohol poisoning or injury, is manualised brief interventions at the hospital in one to four counseling sessions each lasting 30 to 60 minutes conducted by trained staff.", "Evaluation of personal pattern of drinking and associated risks and an emphasis on personal responsibility in a non-condescending manner is recommended during the intervention; discussing and informing and educating the adolescent of possible negative short and long-term consequences of drinking is recommended.", "The setting of goals and rules to achieve those goals is also recommended during intervention with problem binge drinking adolescents.", "Motivational enhancement therapy also shows promise as a treatment.", "Increasing public information and awareness regarding the risks of binge drinking, conducting interviews in emergency departments of young people suspected of harmful drinking patterns and trying to persuade them to accept individual counseling in youth addiction counseling services are effective strategies for reducing the harm of binge drinking.", "Encouraging recreational and adventurous training activities such as climbing or driving can be used alternative \"natural buzzes\" to alcohol misuse.", "Additionally, the provision of educational content about the risks of binge drinking and a risk assessment are beneficial during intervention with young binge drinkers and a referral in the case of an alcohol use disorder for specialised help.", "According to the NIAAA definition of \"heavy drinkers\", men may be at risk for alcohol-related problems if their alcohol consumption exceeds 14 standard drinks per week or four drinks per day, and women may be at risk if they have more than seven standard drinks per week or three drinks per day.", "Despite this risk, a 2014 report in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that only 10% of either \"heavy drinkers\" or \"binge drinkers\" also met the criteria for alcohol dependence, while only 1.3% of non-binge drinkers met this criteria.", "An inference drawn in this study is that evidence-based policy strategies and clinical preventive services may effectively reduce binge drinking without requiring addiction treatment in most cases.", "Binge drinking is more common in men than it is in women.", "Among students in the US, approximately 50% of men and 39% of women binge drink.", "Racial differences exist among binge drinking with Hispanics followed by Caucasians having the highest level of binge drinking.", "Caucasians have been found to be nearly twice as likely to binge drink than blacks.", "It is a common pattern among Native Americans.", "Among the Australian youth population, 31% of males and 14% of women aged 15–17 years engage in risky alcohol consumption.", "Individuals of African descent have a lower level of binge drinking followed by those of Asian descent.", "In the case of Asians their low level of binge drinking may be due to the presence of the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (ALDH2, Chromosome 12) in many (but by no means the vast majority) that results in poor metabolism of alcohol, which leads to severe adverse effects such as facial flushing.", "Men are more likely to binge drink (up to 81% of alcohol binges are done by men) than women and men are also more likely to develop alcohol dependence than women.", "People who are homozygous for the ALDH2 gene are less likely to binge-drink due to severe adverse effects that occur even with moderate amounts of alcohol consumption.", "College students have been found to be more likely to binge drink than their same age peers who were not enrolled in college.", "In the US, this effect has caused serious problems with the country's legal drinking age.", "This effect is more prevalent in women than in men.", "Other factors that have been found to correlate with higher levels of binge drinking include low religiosity, marijuana use, living with roommates, and cigarette use.", "Binge drinking costs the UK economy approximately £20 billion a year; 17 million working days are estimated to be lost due to hangovers and drink-related illness each year.", "The cost of binge drinking to employers is estimated to be £6.4 billion and the cost per year of alcohol harm is estimated to cost the National Health Service £2.7 billion.", "Urgent action has been recommended to understand the binge drinking culture and its aetiology and pathogenesis and urgent action has been called for to educate people with regard to the dangers of binge drinking.", "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a study in October 2011 that showed that in the United States binge drinking costs society $223 billion a year, which amounts to $2 per drink.", "These costs include health care costs for alcohol-related issues, including liver cirrhosis, loss of work productivity, property damage due to drunk driving, and expenditures related to criminal acts.", "Overall, 11.9% of binge drinkers drove during or within two hours of their most recent binge drinking episode.", "Those drinking in licensed establishments (bars, clubs, and restaurants) accounted for 54.3% of these driving episodes.", "Significant independent risk factors for driving after binge drinking included male gender (AOR=1.75); being aged 35–54 or ≥55 years compared to 18–34 years (AOR=1.58 and 2.37, respectively); and drinking in bars or clubs compared to drinking in the respondent's home (AOR=7.81).", "Drivers who drank most of their alcohol in licensed establishments consumed an average of 8.1 drinks, and 25.7% of them consumed ≥10 drinks.", "Women become intoxicated more quickly than men, and experience a higher blood alcohol level.", "This difference in effect occurs even when a woman's body weight and consumption of alcohol are the same as that of a man.", "Because of these discrepancies, college-age women tend to experience the consequences of binge drinking before their male counterparts.", "There is no known safe level of alcohol consumption either when trying to get pregnant or during pregnancy.", "With alcohol abuse remaining highly stigmatized—particularly in the case of pregnant women—some advocate for treatment programs to focus on a non-judgmental stance, on personal empowerment, and on offering contraceptives to women engaging in sex, in order to prevent fetal alcohol spectrum disorder." ]

Ode to Joy
