Decoding the Riddle of Mental IllnessAn overall communicational model of mental illness has conspicuously been lacking due to the daunting conceptual challenges at issue. As with many other such great enigmas, the solution often emerges from advances in a parallel field of inquiry – such as in Communications Theory. Indeed, a breakthrough in the understanding of affective (or emotionally charged) language has recently been proposed: wherein incorporating the communicational factors underlying mental illness within a general eight-part schematic depicted, where the grand total jumps to 408 individual terms (including 56 individual forms of mental illness). by: John E.

Antibiotic RotationEvolutionary pressure drives bacteria to quickly become immune to antibiotics. If the antibiotic is not present, immunity is eventually lost. If an entire class of antibiotic, e.g. penicillins, was not used for, say 20 years, they could be re-introduced starting with the first generation versions and scaling up to later versions as bacteria regain resistance. When re-introduced, another class of antibiotic would be removed, and so on until all classes had been in rotation. This could be continued indefinitely, thus getting new use from older cheap medications and decreasing the need to develop ever more powerful and expensive new medications. by: Jay Swedloff | Jul 25, 2010

A better, bigger burn in fat and muscle (ABIFAM)Obesity is alarmingly prevalent in developed and developing countries, putting countless people at increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and death. Clinical trials show consistently that diet and exercise induce weight loss temporarily and that the weight is regained within two years. We need an assist. Recently, we discovered a potential drug to treat obesity. It works by increasing the ability of muscle and fat tissues to burn energy (patent pending). Investment in research and development can, within a decade, convert this potential therapy into what so many people have been looking for: an effective way to lose weight. by: Jonathan R.

Neighborhood Level Grey Water RecyclingStrategic placement of simple grey water collectors - along existing sanitary sewer junctions - to manage waste water and return a safe, non-potable water source for irrigation. This could be a pond with sand filters or a filter tank. Where usage and contribution is unequal - a digital meter system could provide credits. Solid waste would be returned as sludge to waste treatment or used for biogas generators for street lights. This would shorten the water cycle, limit demand on community water treatment facilities, and reduce demand for drinking quality water. Additional collectors could be placed to include storm water runoff. by: Lissa Probus | Jul 31, 2010

 Play It! Say It! Can gaming support mental health?PLAY IT! SAY IT! is simple - we propose to use the existing communication functionalities of video game consoles (voice chat and messaging) to provide phone and online counselling to the people who use them. The online video game community is larger than the population of Canada, and at least one 1 in 5 people playing have a mental health condition. Beyond the existing benefits of online and phone counselling, consoles offer universal access points to ensure coverage, and the opportunity to develop rapport while playing simple games to support the sharing of concerns. We value quality of life. by: Elizabeth Ure, Andrew Shaw & Adam Bass | Aug 18, 2010

Bioactive NO meterNO (Nitric Oxide) is a radical gas and one of most important signaling molecules in the human body. Everything one does during ones life e.g., nutrition, physical activities, relaxation, entertainment, studies etc, is affecting NO availability. Thus NO measure reflects what is good or bad for us and what activities to adjust in order to achieve balance, health and longevity. An NO meter device (hand meter), which can measure bioactive NO levels through breath or blood vessel dilation, will enable the user to design wisely the quality of his life. by: Dina Ralt | Jul 31, 2010
