MENTAL HEALTH AGE AGE OF OF ANXIETY ANXIETY Anxiety. It's being called the disease of the 21st century. Everybody is either afflicted – or knows someone who is. According to the World Health Organization, disorders related to dread are the most prevalent mental illness on the globe at the moment. Some of us shriek at spiders, others have panic attacks that flare up out of nowhere and mimic the symptoms of heart failure, still others worry excessively about everything and nothing – violent crime, cancer, black bears, tornadoes. Is anxiety a disease of modernity? Or is our highly competitive and material culture itself undermining our nerves? The Age of Anxiety examines what anxiety is, and how and why it is being re-defined by the medical and pharmaceutical industries. In 2013, a new edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the psychiatrist's treatment "bible," will be released with revised definitions of anxiety crafted by researchers – often with ties to drug companies. As the DSM expands the definitions of anxiety, more and more people will meet the threshold of an anxiety disorder. Pharmaceutical companies have a great deal at stake as more patients will look to pills for treatment. The Age of Anxiety investigates the role that pharmaceutical companies, and even the psychiatric profession, play in this phenomenon. Is our anxiety fueling an industry that in turn is profiting from and exploiting our dread in a vicious and self-perpetuating cycle?

Reproduction occurs either sexually through an exchange of genetic material between two organisms, or asexually where organisms replicate offspring with an identical genetic makeup to their parent. This program looks at sexual and asexual reproduction, starting at the cellular level, with clear explanations of meiosis and mitosis. The various benefits and disadvantages of both types of reproduction are examined, as well as exploring the biological processes of flowering plants and animals.

The Georgian duduki, a double-reed wind instrument of the oboe family, is known by different names in neighboring countries such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkey. In the 19th century Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, had a large multi-lingual population composed mainly of Georgians, Armenians, Azeri and Kurds, who practised and listened to duduki music. Traditional duduki music, performed by a soloist, a drone player, and a doli drummer who is also a singer, is derived from Middle Eastern styles and repertoires. Georgian musicians in the 20th century developed westernized local styles recalling the famous three-part polyphonic rural singing. At a rehearsal for an upcoming concert, his students perform traditional oriental repertoires as well as modern westernized songs.

Narrated by Franka Insinger. Item no. : AH07860380 Format : DVD Duration : 44 minutes Price : USD 205.00 NATIVE NORTH AMERICANS 6 6 GENERATIONS GENERATIONS By Paul Goldsmith Ernestine De Soto is a Chumash Native American whose mother Mary Yee was the last speaker of her native Barbareno language. In 6 Generations, her family reaches back to the days the Spanish arrived in Santa Barbara and made first contact. Ernestine tells this history from the perspective of her female ancestors, making her a unique link with the past. Famous anthropologist John Peabody Harrington, whose work focused on native peoples of California, started research with her family in 1913 and continued with three generations for nearly 50 years. This inspired Ernestine's mother to begin taking notes and, combined with mission records (which survived intact from the late 1700s), they form the heart of this story. Because of these circumstances, her story, possible only in California, is unique in America. The impact of loss of land, language, culture and life itself is made all the more clear as this story is told in Native American voices, who describe the events as they experienced them. Ultimately, it is a story of survival and the fierce endurance of Ernestine's ancestors, particularly the women. Review � "This is history as autobiography, foregrounding the power of language and telling a checkered tale of cultural survival in the extreme. The time depth is simply astonishing, and the narrative is frank and true and sometimes stark. 6 Generations is a home run. I cannot recommend it highly enough." - David Hurst Thomas, Current Anthropology Item no. : RB03650819 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 57 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 224.00 NATURAL RESOURCES CHASING CHASING WATER WATER Directed by Pete McBride Breathtaking photography tells the story of the Colorado River, which flowed to the sea for 6 million years and now dries up 90 miles short of the Sea of Cortez. After spending a decade working abroad as a photojournalist, Colorado native Pete McBride, decided to focus on something closer to his home and his heart: the Colorado River which cuts through his backyard. Taking nearly three years, McBride followed the river source to sea on a personal journey to see exactly where the river goes and what becomes of the irrigation water that flows across his family's cattle ranch in central Colorado after it returns to the creek. Recruiting hisfather, John, as his personal pilot McBride chose an aerial vantage to capture a unique and fresh view of the Colorado River Basin. He also partnered with Jon Waterman, an author who stayed stream level to paddle the entire length of the river. This short film takes the viewer on a 1,500 mile adventure downstream, from mountains and cities and through canyons and across shrinking reservoirs. For 6 million years the Colorado River flowed to the sea. Today it runs dry some 90 miles shy of its historic terminus at the Sea of Cortez. This visual journey is both revealing and alarming as it highlights the state of the river and the Southwest's drying future. Featuring the photography of Pete McBride and music by Explosions In The Sky, This Will Destroy You, Jesse Cook, and Ludovico Einaudi. master musician Eldar Shoshitashvili and ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: inquiry@learningemall.com Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 78
