The Benefits of Consulting a Marriage Therapist

A marriage therapist is the person who can bring life back to your crumbling relation when there is no sign of hope. If your married life is going through the tough phases of life, it is better to consult a trustworthy marriage therapist with whom you can share your marital problems and get effective solutions.

Most of the couples face problems in their married life that makes them unhappy and moreover, gives them a reason to get separated. When people fail to resolve the matters and think of divorce as their last option, it is the marriage therapist that can bring about the desired changes. They try their best to make your marriage work like before and thus make efforts in a direction to solve your marital problems.

Marriage counseling or couples therapy, which is a kind of psychotherapy, is an effective way to help the married couples. The basic focus of the therapy is to recognize the causes of marital problems between the couples and then resolve the conflicts to build a strong relationship. It is a marriage therapist who can make you realize the importance of your relationship and guide you to a correct path that will surely bring happiness back to your life.

It is not necessary that only the married couples can consult a marriage therapist instead of couples who are going to tie the knot soon can also strengthen their bond by taking advices from a skilled therapist. In fact, pre-marriage counseling helps the couples to understand each other in a better way and clear out the differences before entering into a new relation.

However, most of the times, it is seen that couples seek a marriage therapist to resolve the problems of their breaking married relationship. You can consult the problem solver if you are facing communication problems, conflicts related to child upbringing, anger, financial issues, sexual difficulties, divorce and infidelity issues.

Consulting a marriage therapist is a great idea when situations are not in your favor. In fact, it will help you to learn how you can resolve problems in a healthy way. You will come to know about the required communication skills that can give a new direction to your married life. Moreover, you will learn to listen what your partner says and moreover, analyze it.

The couples today are very busy in their individual life and don?t have time to talk with each other. Lack of appropriate communication is also a major cause of breaking relations; however, a marriage therapy will provide you an opportunity to interact with your partner, which will help you to understand and finally compromise with each other.

A marriage therapist helps you to control your anger that is also accounted for breaking of married relationships. In fact, you will learn how you can put forward your point of views without showing signs of resentment or dominance. Further, the therapy makes you assertive rather than offensive that is crucial for good communication.

Couples therapy provides an open as well as safe platform to express your feelings and opinions about each other. It is possible that your partner is also willing to sort out the issues, but not getting a platform. Moreover, by consulting a trained professional you can make your marriage work by learning the relationship skills that are needed to have a strong, successful and happy married life.

A big step toward 'designer babies' ? and big questions

Researchers have achieved the first mapping of a fetus's DNA. The breakthrough opens the potential to choose a child's characteristics. Such power, however, should also force questions about 'playing God.'

By the Monitor's Editorial Board / June 8, 2012

This image shows an artist?s depiction of the first major exhibit being developed at the Smithsonian?s National Museum of Natural History to explore the human genome.

A stunning breakthrough in biotechnology was announced this week that brings humanity closer to an Orwellian prospect: parents being able to choose the characteristics of an unborn child.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the DNA of a fetus. They did so by using specimens from a pregnant woman and the father. The procedure may make it easier someday to prenatally change genes seen as causing diseases or, more startling, pick a child?s attributes such as eye color or even intelligence.

This achievement by researchers at the University of Washington raises anew many legal, ethical, and moral concerns about the potential for ?designer babies.? Yet at a deeper level, such advances in the human mastery of the reproductive process also stir up questions about what is ?natural? ? or rather, whether ?natural selection? will, or should, become ?deliberate selection.?

The power to alter a child?s genetic makeup should not be regarded as simply an exercise in manipulating matter for a determined end. Rather it must also force fresh thinking about the principles that drive human behavior, such as the love that motivates a parent to be a parent or the truth about life?s eternal nature that demands more than a desire for physical perfection in a child.

The technique of altering a fetus?s DNA could simply push parents to treat children as a commodity, like a perfect Build-A-Bear, rather than treat them as a gift ? one that commands unceasing love regardless of how a child turns out. But faced with the prospect of wielding immense control over a child?s future, parents could also be humbled at the responsibility, even frightened at having to make so many choices that are now beyond the power of humans.

This is why critics call these techniques ?playing God.? Or as bioethicist Leon Kass has put it: ?It?s an ancient tension between, on the one hand, wanting to savor the world as it is and, on the other hand, wanting to improve on the world as given. There is a danger that the freedom to transform everything embraces the freedom to transform our own nature and even to destroy that very freedom itself.?

Each new biotech advance in reproduction could help enlighten humans about their grander life purpose. When famed biologist J. Craig Venter became the first person to discover the sequence of the human genome in 2000, he said his work was inspired by the knowledge that ?the human spirit is at least as important as our physiology.?

?We?re clearly much, much more than the sum total of our genes, just as our society is greater than the sum total of each of us,? he stated.

The science of DNA is moving far faster than the human capacity to fully grasp its meaning. Even the researchers of this latest technique acknowledge in their paper that ?our capacity to generate data is outstripping our ability to interpret it.?

Such research is a double-edged sword. There is valid concern about the potential for abuse. But it can also be a window into higher concepts of humanity.

Before this kind of scientific work gets too far ahead, parallel research is needed in the ethics and morality of such advances. Tellingly, that desire for understanding can?t be found in any gene.

Undersea volcano gave off signals before eruption in 2011

NEWPORT, Ore. A team of scientists that last year created waves by correctly forecasting the 2011 eruption of Axial Seamount years in advance now says that the undersea volcano located some 250 miles off the Oregon coast gave off clear signals hours before its impending eruption.

The researchers' documentation of inflation of the undersea volcano from gradual magma intrusion over a period of years led to the long-term eruption forecast. But new analyses using data from underwater hydrophones also show an abrupt spike in seismic energy about 2.6 hours before the eruption started, which the scientists say could lead to short-term forecasting of undersea volcanoes in the future.

They also say that Axial could erupt again as soon as 2018 based on the cyclic pattern of ground deformation measurements from bottom pressure recorders.

Results of the research, which was funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), are being published this week in three separate articles in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Bill Chadwick, an Oregon State University geologist and lead author on one of the papers, said the link between seismicity, seafloor deformation and the intrusion of magma has never been demonstrated at a submarine volcano, and the multiple methods of observation provide fascinating new insights.

"Axial Seamount is unique in that it is one of the few places in the world where a long-term monitoring record exists at an undersea volcano and we can now make sense of its patterns," said Chadwick, who works out of Oregon State's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Ore. "We've been studying the site for years and the uplift of the seafloor has been gradual and steady beginning in about 2000, two years after it last erupted.

"But the rate of inflation from magma went from gradual to rapid about 4-5 months before the eruption," added Chadwick. "It expanded at roughly triple the rate, giving a clue that the next eruption was coming."

Bob Dziak, an Oregon State University marine geologist, had previously deployed hydrophones on Axial that monitor sound waves for seismic activity. During a four-year period prior to the 2011 eruption, there was a gradual buildup in the number of small earthquakes (roughly magnitude 2.0), but little increase in the overall "seismic energy" resulting from those earthquakes.

That began to change a few hours before the April 6, 2011, eruption, said Dziak, who also is lead author on one of the Nature Geoscience articles.

"The hydrophones picked up the signal of literally thousands of small earthquakes within a few minutes, which we traced to magma rising from within the volcano and breaking through the crust," Dziak said. "As the magma ascends, it forces its way through cracks and creates a burst of earthquake activity that intensifies as it gets closer to the surface.

"Using seismic analysis, we were able to clearly see how the magma ascends within the volcano about two hours before the eruption," Dziak said. "Whether the seismic energy signal preceding the eruption is unique to Axial or may be replicated at other volcanoes isn't yet clear but it gives scientists an excellent base from which to begin."

The researchers also used a one-of-a-kind robotic submersible to bounce sound waves off the seafloor from an altitude of 50 meters, mapping the topography of Axial Seamount both before and after the 2011 eruption at a one-meter horizontal resolution. These before-and-after surveys allowed geologists to clearly distinguish the 2011 lava flows from the many previous flows in the area.

MBARI researchers used three kinds of sonar to map the seafloor around Axial, and the detailed images show lava flows as thin as eight inches, and as thick as 450 feet.

"These autonomous underwater vehicle-generated maps allowed us, for the first time, to comprehensively map the thickness and extent of lava flows from a deep-ocean submarine in high resolution," said David Caress, an MBARI engineer and lead author on one of the Nature Geoscience articles. "These new observations allow us to unambiguously differentiate between old and new lava flows, locate fissures from which these flows emerged, and identify fine-scale features formed as the lava flowed and cooled."

The researchers also used shipboard sonar data to map a second, thicker lava flow about 30 kilometers south of the main flow also a likely result of the 2011 eruption.

Knowing the events leading up to the eruption and the extent of the lava flows is important because over the next few years researchers will be installing many new instruments and underwater cables around Axial Seamount as part of the Ocean Observatories Initiative. These new instruments will greatly increase scientists' ability to monitor the ocean and seafloor off of the Pacific Northwest.

"Now that we know some of the long-term and short-term signals that precede eruptions at Axial, we can monitor the seamount for accelerated seismicity and inflation," said OSU's Dziak. "The entire suite of instruments will be deployed as part of the Ocean Observatories Initiative in the next few years including new sensors, samplers and cameras and next time they will be able to catch the volcano in the act."

The scientists also observed and documented newly formed hydrothermal vents with associated biological activity, Chadwick said.

"We saw snowblower vents that were spewing out nutrients so fast that the microbes were going crazy," he pointed out. "Combining these biological observations with our knowledge of the ground deformation, seismicity and lava distribution from the 2011 eruption will further help us connect underwater volcanic activity with the life it supports."

Scientists from Columbia University, the University of Washington, North Carolina State University, and the University of California at Santa Cruz also participated in the project and were co-authors on the Nature Geoscience articles.

Japan's Sharp, Hon Hai to make China smartphones

TOKYO: Japanese electronics firm Sharp will expand ties with its Taiwan-based partner Hon Hai Precision, including plans to jointly tap China's smartphone market, reports said Friday.

Osaka-based Sharp and the parent of Foxconn, which builds iPads and iPhones, are planning to make handsets destined for the Chinese market starting in the next fiscal year, the Nikkei business daily said.

Hon Hai will also start ordering Sharp's liquid crystal display panels later this year, helping boost operating rates at Sharp's LCD plant in western Japan to 90 per cent from the current 50 per cent, the report said.

"As digital products are getting to be like commodities, it is hard for Sharp alone (to compete on prices)" in China, Sharp President Takashi Okuda told reporters, according to Dow Jones Newswires.

In March, Sharp said it would offer half of its ownership in the LCD plant to Hon Hai, and sell some of its shares to the Taiwan firm.

Sharp posted a net loss of $4.74 billion for the year through March 2012 and warned it would remain in the red over the next year amid slumping global television sales.

Last month, Sharp and struggling Japanese rival Sony said they would dissolve their liquid crystal display joint venture, as the sector in Japan struggles.

Japanese companies have blamed tough competition from rivals including South Korea's Samsung, falling prices, slow demand, the impact of severe flooding in Thailand last year, and the high yen for their problems.

Today with the changing era several new technologies have come to make every work easier to do. Previously it was necessary to bring the thermometers and thermocouples in contact with the object to measure temperature. But now different types of non contacted infrared thermometers and non-contacted thermocouples have come up wherein temperature can be measured from a distance. Usually these devices are used in climatology, meteorology, weather forecasting and nuclear power point and other industrial uses.


Use of infrared thermometers in food industry


Consorting from industry sector to domestic users, infrared thermometers are in huge demand today. This is because they give accuracy and use advance technology. Non contacted infrared thermometers are ideal for food processing industry. The reason behind is that you can measure the temperature without contacting the food which prevents the food from getting contaminated.


Handheld thermometer in similarity with non contact infrared thermometer


Besides infrared thermometers, handheld infrared thermometers are all most similar. Usually they are most beneficial in measuring temperature of moving bodies where non contact measurement is necessary. These thermometers use lens to focus the infrared beams on the detectors which in turn has the capability to convert the radiation into electrical signal that is displayed in units of temperature.


Industries more in demand of mineral insulated thermocouples


Along with all these thermometers, today mineral insulated thermocouples have come up as a big invention for industrial usage. The thermocouples are insulated with non-reactive minerals besides they are covered with stainless steel or alloy sheath. This feature makes them suitable to withstand extreme temperatures. They have the potential to withstand as high as 2400 degree Fahrenheit thus are used in diesel engines, turbines, catalytic reformers, refineries, rocket and jet engines and so on. Similarly chromel alumel thermocouples are also used in industries for temperature monitoring. They are also known as Type K thermocouples comprising of 90 percent nickel and 10 percent chromium. These Chromel alumel thermocouples are comparatively less costly than other equipments thus they are usually preferred temperature sensing device.


So now most of the industries use these equipments indulge with modern technologies as to given better and accurate result. You also don't have to touch the hazardous machines to measure their temperature they can be done from a distance through infrared rays.

Redfish Sensors are leading manufacturers and suppliers of sensor products like temperature sensors, USB thermometer, mini thermistor, mineral insulated thermocouples, humidity sensors and wire & cable assemblies.

He also has workout bonuses of $30,000 in 2012 and 2013, and a guaranteed workout bonus of $250,000 in 2014.

His $4.75 million base salary and $250,000 workout bonus for 2015 are guaranteed for injury prior to end of 2014 league year, then guaranteed fully.

The guarantee on signing is $13.17 million, and another $5 million is guaranteed for injury.? The total cash for the next four years will be $18.23 million, which exceeds the combination of Gronkowski?s prior contract for the next two years and two years of the franchise tag.

The Pats face a decision in 2016, at which time a $10 million option bonus comes due.? If the Patriots pick up the option (factors will include whether Tom Brady is still the quarterback, and whether Bill Belichick is still the head coach, and whether Gronkowski is still playing at a high level), the final four years include salaries of $8 million in 2018 and $9 million in 2019.

The new money over six years averages $9 million annually.? Factoring in the existing two years, the deal is worth less than $7 million per year ? assuming that the Patriots pick up the 2016 option and honor the full eight years of the deal.

For now, it?s definitely a three-year, $13.23 million deal, and $18.23 million over four if he?s not cut after three seasons.

Given that Gronkowski has only two years in the league and would make only a little more than $1 million over the next two seasons, then face the franchise tag up to twice, a very strong case can be made for taking the money now, especially since the Patriots rarely open the vault early, if ever.? After missing a full season in college with a spine injury that required surgery, more than $13 million guaranteed now is a lot more than the $1 million in change he would have made while carrying the full injury risk for two full seasons.

The Patriots now have the ability to use the franchise tag on tight end Aaron Hernandez in 2014, if they can?t get a long-term deal done with him.
