Do you believe in Biorhythms? While you may or may not, they are interesting to view.

At the beginning of the last century, Dr. Wilhelm Fliess noticed identical rhythms in the case histories of his patients. He observed active and passive phases in the physical, emotional and mental aspects of humans. From these observations he derived the principle of the biorhythms: The physical curve with its cycle of 23 days, the emotional curve with 28 days and the mental curve with 33 days.

Biorhythms can’t predict or explain events, they can only suggest how we may deal with them. For example, some doctors plan operations around them or sports coaches use them in their individual training programs. But it is up to you whether you believe in them or not.

From Covert Incest’s Mission Statement:  “Our mission is to prevent covert incest from being passed on to successive generations by educating the public and providing services to those who are too close to a parent. We intend to make covert incest a household term by releasing statements to the media, distributing literature, and participating in local events, and we seek to build a network of mental health professionals and support groups where survivors of covert incest can receive assistance in separating from a parent.”

Big White Wall is like a combination of social network, support forum and online art project. It is a space (quite literally) where members can leave anonymous expressions of their everyday concerns and worries and have the community respond and comment. There are 6 main things that members can do:

1) Members can express their thoughts and feelings on “The Wall” using images, text or by drawing using the Brick Builder tool. Members can give a gift to a friend (in the form of a Brick) so they can anonymously vent their own feelings.

2) On Talkabout, members can connect to a dynamic community of users that talk about issues and concerns that are important to them.

3) Members can build friendship networks and exchange private messages.

4) On Useful Stuff members can learn more about themselves and particular emotional health issues by browsing stimulating articles from a range of authors including leading psychologists.

5) On News Walls members can express their open and honest feelings raised by news and events that are important in the world.

6) Members can learn more about Big White Wall’s commitment to offline emotional health projects and vote to support them on News Worthy.

I must admit, looking through the “bricks” that people have posted on the walls is quite addictive. There is a real sense of people trying to capture the essence of their pain/problem in a quick and visual way. The wall appears to be growing and thus takes a while to load, but it is certainly worth a browse. Clicking on an individual brick takes you to the specific information about that brick, as well as the comments that others have made. The Big White Wall team believe that as natural support networks have disappeared, the internet has opened many possibilities for tying people into a global support network. Big White Wall seeks to provide people with a place to increase their emotional health through healthy (anonymous) expression and social networking.

From Dr. Phillip Zimbardo, himself: “Welcome to the Stanford Prison Experiment web site, which features an extensive slide show and information about this classic psychology experiment, including parallels with the abuse of prisoners at Abu Gharib. What happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does humanity win over evil, or does evil triumph?

From Dr. Phillip Zimbardo, himself:  “Welcome to the Stanford Prison Experiment web site, which features an extensive slide show and information about this classic psychology experiment, including parallels with the abuse of prisoners at Abu Gharib. What happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does humanity win over evil, or does evil triumph? These are some of the questions we posed in this dramatic simulation of prison life conducted in the summer of 1971 at Stanford University.

How we went about testing these questions and what we found may astound you. Our planned two-week investigation into the psychology of prison life had to be ended prematurely after only six days because of what the situation was doing to the college students who participated. In only a few days, our guards became sadistic and our prisoners became depressed and showed signs of extreme stress. Please join me on a slide tour describing this experiment and uncovering what it tells us about the nature of human nature.”
