POPSEMDR Therapy or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing from the Self Awareness Institute
The Director of the Self Awareness Institute, Andrea Lambert, is an EMDR Practitioner in Sacramento, California. She received her training from the EMDR Institute, Inc., under EMDR's founder, Francine Shapiro. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a scientifically validated integrative psychotherapy. It is based on the philosophy that human beings are capable under appropriate conditions of naturally moving toward greater health and integration. When a stressful or traumatic event occurs, it seems to get locked in the nervous system with the original picture, sounds, thoughts and feelings. This information can become distorted and significantly can significantly affect our feelings about these events. The eye movements used in EMDR appear to unlock the nervous system which allows the brain to re-integrate positive information. The procedure includes reprocessing of negative, distorted self-thoughts associated with the trauma to positive, true self-beliefs.

POPSNuclear may lose it's green tag if costs rise The cost of reprocessing low grade Uranium ore. An industry spokesman said that there should be enough high quality ore for at least 85 years. 85 years when the waste lasts for an age? Sounds brilliant. Consider the amount of nuclear waste that will exist as a result of wasting energy.

POPSThey don't grow on trees, you know – China says goodbye to free plastic bags "China, which produces many of the world’s plastic bags, already has to refine five million tonnes of crude oil a year just to keep pace with the demand for plastics used in packaging at home. It urged rubbish collectors to do more to recycle waste by separating plastic for reprocessing and reducing the amount to be burnt or buried." Such a small thing, such a big impact, such a good idea.

POPS The French Do It, Why Can’t Oui? Recycling Nuclear Fuel France, whose 59 reactors generate 80 percent of its electricity, has safely recycled nuclear fuel for decades. They turned to nuclear power in the 1970s to limit their dependence on foreign energy. And, from the beginning, they made recycling used fuel central to their program. Upon its removal from French reactors, used fuel is packed in containers and safely shipped via train and road to a facility in La Hague. There, the energy producing uranium and plutonium are removed and separated from the other waste and made into new fuel that can be used again. The entire process adds about 6 percent in costs for the French. Their success has sparked plenty of interest abroad. The French company AREVA has already helped Japan with its reprocessing facility and is currently looking at the feasibility of building a similar plant in China. The British, Japanese, Indians, and Russians all engage in some level of reprocessing.
