What are the different types of delusions?

Delusions are categorized as either bizarre or non-bizarre and as either mood-congruent or mood-incongruent. A bizarre delusion is a delusion that is very strange and completely implausible for the person's culture; an example of a bizarre delusion would be that aliens have removed the affected person's brain. A non-bizarre delusion is one whose content is definitely mistaken, but is at least possible; an example may be that the affected person mistakenly believes that he or she is under constant police surveillance. A mood-congruent delusion is any delusion whose content is consistent with either a depressive or manic state; for example, a depressed person may believe that the world is ending, or a person in a manic state (a state in which the person feels compelled to take on new projects, has a lot of energy, and needs little sleep) believes that he or she has special talents or abilities, or is a famous person. A mood-incongruent delusion is any delusion whose content is not consistent with either a depressed or manic state or is mood-neutral. An example is a depressed person who believes that thoughts are being inserted into his or her mind from some outside force, person, or group of people, and these thoughts are not recognized as the person's own thoughts (called "thought insertion"). In addition to these categories, delusions are often categorized according to theme. Although delusions can have any theme, certain themes are more common. Some of the more common delusion themes are: * Delusion of control: This is a false belief that another person, group of people, or external force controls one's thoughts, feelings, impulses, or behavior. A person may describe, for instance, the experience that aliens actually make him or her move in certain ways and that the person affected has no control over the bodily movements. Thought broadcasting (the false belief that the affected person's thoughts are heard aloud), thought insertion, and thought withdrawal (the belief that an outside force, person, or group of people is removing or extracting a person's thoughts) are also examples of delusions of control. * Nihilistic delusion: A delusion whose theme centers on the nonexistence of self or parts of self, others, or the world. A person with this type of delusion may have the false belief that the world is ending. * Delusional jealousy (or delusion of infidelity): A person with this delusion falsely believes that his or her spouse or lover is having an affair. This delusion stems from pathological jealousy and the person often gathers "evidence" and confronts the spouse about the nonexistent affair. * Delusion of guilt or sin (or delusion of self-accusation): This is a false feeling of remorse or guilt of delusional intensity. A person may, for example, believe that he or she has committed some horrible crime and should be punished severely. Another example is a person who is convinced that he or she is responsible for some disaster (such as fire, flood, or earthquake) with which there can be no possible connection. * Delusion of mind being read: The false belief that other people can know one's thoughts. This is different from thought broadcasting in that the person does not believe that his or her thoughts are heard aloud. * Delusion of reference: The person falsely believes that insignificant remarks, events, or objects in one's environment have personal meaning or significance. For instance, a person may believe that he or she is receiving special messages from the news anchorperson on television. Usually the meaning assigned to these events is negative, but the "messages" can also have a grandiose quality. * Erotomania: A delusion in which one believes that another person, usually someone of higher status, is in love with him or her. It is common for individuals with this type of delusion to attempt to contact the other person (through phone calls, letters, gifts, and sometimes stalking). * Grandiose delusion: An individual exaggerates his or her sense of self-importance and is convinced that he or she has special powers, talents, or abilities. Sometimes, the individual may actually believe that he or she is a famous person (for example, a rock star or Christ). More commonly, a person with this delusion believes he or she has accomplished some great achievement for which they have not received sufficient recognition. * Persecutory delusions: These are the most common type of delusions and involve the theme of being followed, harassed, cheated, poisoned or drugged, conspired against, spied on, attacked, or obstructed in the pursuit of goals. Sometimes the delusion is isolated and fragmented (such as the false belief that co-workers are harassing), but sometimes are well-organized belief systems involving a complex set of delusions ("systematized delusions"). A person with a set of persecutory delusions may be believe, for example, that he or she is being followed by government organizations because the "persecuted" person has been falsely identified as a spy. These systems of beliefs can be so broad and complex that they can explain everything that happens to the person. * Religious delusion: Any delusion with a religious or spiritual content. These may be combined with other delusions, such as grandiose delusions (the belief that the affected person was chosen by God, for example), delusions of control, or delusions of guilt. Beliefs that would be considered normal for an individual's religious or cultural background are not delusions. * Somatic delusion: A delusion whose content pertains to bodily functioning, bodily sensations, or physical appearance. Usually the false belief is that the body is somehow diseased, abnormal, or changed. An example of a somatic delusion would be a person who believes that his or her body is infested with parasites. Delusions of control, nihilistic delusions, and thought broadcasting, thought insertion, and thought withdrawal are usually considered bizarre delusions. Most persecutory, somatic, grandiose, and religious delusions, as well as most delusions of jealousy, delusions of mind being read, and delusions of guilt would be considered non-bizarre.

Would a 1987 Volvo 240 B23F fuel injected engine gain more then 25 percent in fuel economy if hydrogen was pumped through the air intake?

No. There may be a slight increase in performance, but too much hydrogen can easily mess up the effective octane rating of the fuel. That fools with the engine performance - not always for the good. Timing goes wack because the fuel burns too fast and all that. And the engine will meter about the same amount of fuel even if hydrogen is included in the air stream. There might be a slight increase in fuel economy (because of the effect of the hydrogen in making the engine "run with more power" under the circumstances, but it isn't a cost effective solution to the problem of improving fuel economy. If the inquiry isn't about fuel economy but about performance, nitro (nitromethane) will work a lot better. But it will mess with the performance curve, too, and tuning will be required. Additionally, it burns a lot hotter than pump gas. That makes it hard on your engine.

How do scuba divers breathe underwater?

They don't breathe normally on their own.

They have to use pressure regulators to breathe naturally, overcoming the extreme pressure deep underwater.

A snorkel and oxygen tank help the divers breathe when they are underwater.

What is ocean garbage?

Any trash we have can end up in the ocean. Anything from toys to water bottles to plastic bags are out there floating around in the sea. Even cruise ships are aloud to dump their trash straight into the ocean as long as it is the size of a penny, or smaller. The trash is then eaten by an ocean animal, causes a blockage in that poor animals system, and then the animal dies. Another animal may eat the first one, ingesting the trash from the last one, die and so forth in a viscious circle.

Is electronic equipment a nonrenewable resource?

Electronic equipment is made of many substances, including rubber, metals, glass and plastics. Metals in general are non-renewable. In general, plastics are non-renewable as they are derived from oil. Glass is renewable resource, but we are consuming fossil fuels to transform silicon particles (sand) into glass. For this reason, glass should be recycled.

More importantly, there has been a huge turnover of electronic equipment, creating hazardous conditions when disposed in incinerators or landfills. The disassembly of electronic equipment and re-use is a growing and important industry.

There is a worldwide effort to recycle or carefully dispose of the plastics used in all electronic equipment (from telephones, televisions, cameras, computers, fax machines, ipods, and many others) as there are chemical hazards (heavy metals in particular) to the environment when large quantities enter landfills.

You can find out if there are special measures being taken in your community for recycling computer equipment. All the major manufacturers of PC's are aware of "e-waste."

I've included some links.

Are eyeglasses non-biodegradable?

the lense itself generally is a type of glass so that rules the lense as being bio degradable , the frames themselves, unless specified as such, are also 99% of the time non biodegradable, so your best to recycle them and find a fun craft to do with them or something if you feel bad about them

Is the news making global warming sound worse than it is?

Not at all. By giving space to the opposing side, that variously claims that global warming is not happening, is happening but is not a problem, or is happening and is a problem but we have no power to stop it, the news media is unintentionally playing down the problem of global warming. This is a concern for scientists, who say global warming is real but can be stopped if we take decisive action before it is too late.

When a fuel marker isn't marking right or at all what could be the cause?

It depends on what the vehicle is. If it has an electric fuel pump (located in the fuel tank ), it's usually the "sending unit", or the wiring related to the sending unit". If the fuel pump IS in the fuel tank, you'll have to drop the tank, remove the pump from the tank, and replace the sending unit. I would replace the fuel pump and the related parts that go back into the tank as well. It may sound crazy to do so, but , while you have the tank down, you should replace All related parts. I have a problem with my 97' Park Ave. fuel gage, and will have to go through the same thing. The sending unit alone is about 160.00, the pump and the sending unit together are 298.00......do it all while your in that deep.

Farewell To Pripyat

by Tim Dennehy

It was a Friday in April 1986,

The day that the nightmare began,

When the dust it rained down on our buildings and streets,

And entered our bedrooms at noon,

Touched the grass and the streets, bicycles, cars,

Beds books and picture frames too,

We stood around, helpless, confused,

Nobody knew what to do.

At two o'clock on Sunday the buses arrived,

A fleet of a thousand or more,

We were ordered to be on our way,

Not knowing what lay in store,

Some of our citizens fled in dismay,

And looked for a good place to hide,

Four o'clock came and the last bus pulled out,

T'was the day our lovely town died.

And the shirts sheets and handkerchiefs crack in the wind,

On the window ledge the withering plants,

And the Ladas and Volga's are parked by the door,

And the bike's in its usual stance.

Our evergreen trees lie withered and drooped,

They've poisoned our fertile land,

The streets speak a deafening silence,

Nothing stirs but the sand.

A visit back home is so eerie today,

A modern Pompeii on view,

To see all the old shops and the Forest Hotel,

And the Promyet Cinema too.

The mementos we gathered were all left behind,

Our Photos, letters and cards,

The toys of our children untouchable now,

Toy soldiers left standing on guard.

So fare thee well Pripyat, my home and my soul,

Your sorrow can know no relief,

A terrifying glimpse of the future you show,

Your children all scattered like geese,

The clothes line still sways but the owners long gone,

As the nomadic era returns,

The question in black and white blurred into grey,

The answer is too easy to learn.

CHRISTY'S COMMENT

Late one night during The Willie Week we were gathered in the back lounge of Malones hostelry. Porter and songs were flying in all direction with tunes for divarsion. Mrs Malone, God rest her, put down the pan and started to fry up fresh fillets of mackerel whilst fresh white bread was buttered.Never tasted anything so good. Then there followed a lull amongst the late drinkers. Tim Dennehy quietly slipped into this song (which he had just penned). It was a sad song to hear..
