Digg it UP - Talking Mental Health In College- Q & A with Richard Kadison, M.D. of Harvard University
If you’re like me, you’re always looking for ways to promote your business — without spending a ton of money. Well, you’re in luck. This article lists five of my top 10 favorite ideas for promoting your business or organization for next to nothing (and in some cases, completely fr*e). While these ideas are a start, there are plenty of other ways to get the word out about your product or service and build relationships with potential clients. Use this list as a jumping off point to brainstorm more cheap ideas that may work wonders for your business. And stay tuned for the other five tricks, which will appear in my Nov. 2004 newsletter, "Marketing Tips from The WriteShop."1. Volunteer your services or donate your products to a local nonprofit. This tactic doesn’t just help spread the word about your products and services, but it also a

If you go on the Internet and browse the discussion boards, you will find topics on just about everything you can think of and even some things you wouldn't think of. One of these boards had a very interesting discussion that led to some very interesting testing. The discussion was about popups and whether they had an effect on search engine rankings. One guy at the site said, "How can it? Why would a search engine care?". This led to some interesting theories involving the "annoyance" factor and a number of other things. Finally, these people, who obviously had too much time on their hands, did some testing over a period of several months to see if this theory carried any weight.They each took their web sites and tracked their progress without popup windows for a period of time. They did this for each of the major search engi
Campus Calm: Why are college campuses seeing a rise in the number of students with mental health issues?
Kadison: There are lots of reasons we're seeing a rise in the number of students with mental health issues. We're seeing more students who get diagnosed with serious problems in high school and they're functioning well enough to get to college. That's one group. I think there is the millennial group of students with what are described as helicopter parents who hover over them, and basically make decisions for them. You know the old metaphor about teaching people to fish instead of getting them fish. I think there's a lot of handing out of fish that goes on in high school. Kids are also being shuttled from one activity to another, kind of building their college resume and not having much down time and not really feeling passionate about things.

If you’re like most people, you probably own at least one.And like most people, you’ve maybe never thought what it’s really costing you…At a recent conference held by the Fabian Society at London’s Imperial college, one of the issues discussed was happiness, and, more specifically, why it seems to elude so many of us.One of the conclusions reached was that one of the greatest causes of unhappiness in the last 50 years has been people’s constant desire to raise their level of material wealth (especially in relation to others who have more).As one speaker noted, ‘We’re like children on a rainy Sunday afternoon, impossible to please. We have everything and nothing.’You may disagree, but I can’t think of a worse modern symbol of this constant craving than the credit card.Yes, I know, they might seem a

So your business has decided that it is time to make its presence felt on the internet. You have your all your information ready, and you may even have created your website and it is ready to go live on the internet.The next step is to find a web hosting provider, but how do you evaluate web hosting, and then make a choice on which provider to pay your hard earned money too?Choosing the correct host for your company’s needs is a very important step, if not the most important step when taking your business online. The host you choose is responsible for placing your website online, and keeping it there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is nothing worse for a business to have a website that is not accessible by your customers, if your site is not online it has the potential to cost you a sale, and also sales in the future, if

In 2005, it was revealed that Rogers engages in packet shaping. Now, I’m well aware that some applications, if not configured properly, can cause major problems on a network, and so they need to be controlled. I’m mainly thinking of peer-to-peer applications used by people who don’t know how to properly configure their programs. I run a small network, and myself and all of my users are painfully aware of the consequences of a poorly-configured peer-to-peer application on the network. I’m OK with a small amount of control over peer-to-peer traffic for this reason. Rogers, however, has gone more than a few steps beyond what is justifiable for network performance. Of course, I’m assuming here that Rogers actually has the capability to provide every customer with exactly what their advertised rates are. However, it seems not even their technica

Zero down doesn't really mean no down payment. Most sellers need something as a down payment if they are providing financing. Most banks won't do 100% financing on real estate that is purchased as an investment. Zero down just means that the down payment won't come from your money. So where will you get it? Can you really profit from real estate without having money to start?The answer is clearly yes. At our local investor's meeting the other night, one investor told me that he recently found a fixer upper, but couldn't arrange financing. What did he do? He assigned the contract to another investor for $6,000. In other words, all he ever had into the deal was a $500 "good faith" deposit, and his time, and he made a $6,000 profit. This is called "flipping."Not only did he not need a down payment, but he didn't even have to buy
Campus Calm: How big of a part does the lack of sleep, eating right and exercising play in students being stressed out?
Kadison: The lack of sleep, I think, is a huge issue. College students are sleeping an average of 6 1/2 hours each night and they definitely experience symptoms of sleep deprivation, which screws up their immune systems, impairs their academic functioning and makes them more susceptible to depression and bipolar disorder.
Exercise is another huge issue. There's good evidence for milder forms of depression, four days of 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise works as well as antidepressant medication. A lot of students get busy, stop exercising and eating healthy, get more depressed, have more difficulty getting their work done, then start stressing out and have more difficulty sleeping. They get into this vicious cycle.
Campus Calm: How much of a part does perfectionism play in the lives of stressed-out students? How does Harvard's counseling center deal with academic perfectionism amongst students?
Kadison: That's certainly a big issue here and I would say, most elite schools. I talked to the directors of the other ivies. There are two major thrusts. I would say one is trying to create some balance in students' lives. They need to take care of themselves. Working all the time is not the best way to live. Having conversations with them about excellence versus perfection and working hard and trying to focus. But no one test, no one course, no one situation is going to make or break your life. Lives take twists and turns that
