From Patty Hearst to Tania: Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another
On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, then 19 years old, was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) from the Berkeley, California, apartment she shared with her fiancé Steven Weed.
It is possible too that Hearst developed Stockholm Syndrome -- a coping mechanism that abused people employ in order to remain alive and avoid more pain. However, Stockholm Syndrome could actually become maladaptive when the person, due to the length of time spent with the abuser, could no longer move on with her own life. In Patty’s case, she may have formed a sense of loyalty to her captors after having been exposed to them for sometime. Her own physical and emotional pains were too much that she dissociated from these and instead focused on her kidnappers. She saw that they were human beings and like her, they have had painful experiences in their lives that made them the way they were. Somewhere in their hearts, they were wounded. They also had feelings. Therefore, they were not bad through and through. (to be continued...)

If you have the opportunity to travel, where would you want to go? Me, I got so many amazing places in mind, but top of the list is the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, also known as Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu, and Pyramid of Cheops.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed as the tomb of fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. What draws me to it is the fact that it is said to be the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The others which were already destroyed are: Hanging Gardens of Babylon,Statue of Zeus at Olympia,Temple of Artemis at Ephesus,Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus,Colossus of Rhodes and Lighthouse of Alexandria.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis. Like many ancient relics, it is enveloped by great perplexities. According to world-mysteries.com:
'...the Giza Pyramids were built by the Fourth Dynasty Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkhare, as tombs. Yet not one of their bodies was found in any of them. The King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid was discovered to be completely empty upon its opening, its Stone Box sealed but vacant. In the Belzoni Chamber, beneath the Second Pyramid, a stone box was found like the one in the Great Pyramid, but it too contained no corpse. In 1878, a sarcophagus with a mummy inside was brought to light in the Third Pyramid. Though both the sarcophagus and mummy were lost at sea during their transport to the British Museum, samples had been taken from them, and when later analyzed by radiocarbon dating techniques, they were found to be from a fairly late date, only 2,000 to 2,500 years ago.'
Chilling isn't it? But, that's only the tip of the iceberg or shall I say 'tip of the Great Pyramid of Giza'. There's more, I know, but for now, I can only dream of being there :-)

On the other hand, her personality change could also be an unconscious result of reaction-formation, a defense mechanism wherein an individual acts opposite of how she really feels. Patty had a sheltered life before her abduction so she hated what happened to her and despised being kidnapped. But she could not face this fact so instead she embraced what happened and acted as if she was one with the SLA in their pursuit of their so-called purpose. The problem was that the defense mechanism became overwhelming that she could no longer disengage from it. (to be continued...)
I'm planning to get myself a laptop. Of the many brands in the market, I have my eyes firmly set on an Apple, otherwise known as Mac notebooks (MacBooks). Phew! It must cost a fortune. Time to scrimp on unnecessary stuff and begin saving asap. Anyhow, I scoured the net to read about it's performance and benefits. Luckily, I stumbled across a very helpful article on ehow.com. It discusses the different varieties of MacBooks and individual features. It also give the readers some handy tips on which model to pick. I discovered that the prices range from $1,000 for the basic MacBook to $2,000 up for the MacBook Pro.
I think MacBook Air would suit me best; it's supposed to be light and easier to carry while traveling. In fact, it's dubbed "The world's thinnest notebook"-- just perfect for my kind of job & personality. I still have to read some reviews about it though. Meantime... I need to scrimp! save! scrimp! LOL

Since discovering that Hearst robbed a bank, many speculated on the possible reasons of her sudden identity transformation. The American public could not understand how someone who belonged to a prominent family could rapidly turn cruel and heartless. There were hearsays claiming that Hearst was associated with the SLA even before her kidnapping. Some theorized that her falling in love with one of the members influenced the change. Still, there were also those who believed that she was brainwashed into accepting the SLA’s ideologies.
If there is truth in Hearst’s association with the SLA before her abduction then her behavior afterwards could then be explained as the revelation of her true self. If this is the case, then Patty would have already sympathized with the creed of the SLA and was already against the rich. But because she, herself, was loaded she felt guilty about her wealth. In order to combat her culpability, she compensated for it by joining the group. (to be continued...)

WHO'D OF KNOWN
LYRICS
It's 5 o'clock in the morning Conversation got boring You said you're going to bed soon So I snuck off to your bedroom And I thought I'd just wait there Til I heard you come up the stairs I pretended I was sleeping And I was hoping you would creep in With me
You put your arm around my shoulder It was as if the room got colder We moved closer in together And started talking bout the weather Said tomorrow would be fun We can watch A Place In The Sun I didn't know where this was going When you kissed me
Are you mine? Are you mine? Cause I stay here all the time Watching telly, drinking wine Who'da known, who'da known When you flash up on my phone I'd no longer feel alone No longer feel alone
I haven't left here for days now And I'm becoming amazed how You're quite affectionate in public In fact, your friend said it made her feel sick And even though it's moving forward There's just the right amount of awkward And today you accidentally Called me baby
Are you mine? Are you mine? Cause I stay here all the time Watching telly, drinking wine Who'da known, who'da known When you flash up on my phone I'd no longer feel alone
Let's just stay Let's just stay I wanna lie in bed all day We'll be laughing all the way Told your friends They all know We exist but we're taking it slow Now let's just see how we go Now let's see how we go
Let's just stay Let's just stay I wanna lie in bed all day We'll be laughing all the way Told your friends They all know We exist but we're taking it slow Now let's just see how we go Now let's see how we go
From Patty Hearst to Tania: Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another
The abduction of Patty Hearst in 1974 was no ordinary kidnap story. She was a Berkeley undergraduate and was the heiress of the Hearst publishing empire. But what made her case more extraordinary was the fact that after having been held for ransom by the Symbionese Liberation Army or SLA, Patty Hearst joined the neo-revolutionary group and became one of them. She denounced her parents, dismissed her fiancé, announced that she loathed the wealthy way of life and upheld the principles of those who kidnapped her, changed her name to Tania and became romantically involved with one of the members. Like the soldiers of the SLA, Hearst became a callous and angry revolutionist out to get the rich and avenge the underprivileged.
Along with some of the group’s members, an excited Hearst robbed San Francisco’s Hibernia Bank two months after she was held captive. After wounding two bystanders and taking over $ 10,000 with them, the group fled the scene. Later on, she was seen sitting alone in a van and waiting for two of her colleagues, Emily and Bill Harris, to come back from shoplifting. When authorities apprehended them, Patty cold-bloodedly fired a series of warning shots, screaming "let them go, you mother f*ckers or you’re all dead!" The three escaped with no injuries. For a year and a half, Hearst spent her life on the run until she was found in an apartment and arrested by the FBI. (to be continued...)

aka Shortest Woman Ever Recorded, aka The Puppet-woman, aka Mexican Lilliputian, aka Lightest person who ever lived
Lucia Zarate was born in Mexico in 1864 weighing only eight ounces and was only seven inches in height. By adulthood she stood only 26 1/2 inches high and weighed only 13 pounds-- she was lighter than most house cats; hence, she is also recognized by Guinness as the lightest person who ever lived.
Zarate's life ended tragically in 1890 when the train she was on became stranded in the Rocky Mountains during a heavy snowstorm. The 26-year-old was exposed to cold temperatures and died of hypothermia.

His family, relatives and friends could also be of assistance to the depressed person by being there to help him attend to tasks that he could no longer do such as his daily household chores. They should also make him feel loved and cared for deeply to alleviate his feelings of worthlessness. Furthermore, they could talk to the person, asking him whether or not he plans to end his life. If he answers the question with a yes, then his significant should let him feel that they take his plans seriously and that they understand that he is hurting deep inside. At the same time, they must emphasize that suicide is not the only option to go about things. They should also encourage him to see a psychologist or seek counseling. To display their concern, they could go with him to see a mental health professional for his initial session or actively help him in the assignments that his therapist might give him.
Again, with the right intervention and with more than sufficient love and care from his family, friends and relatives, the risk of suicide could be lessened and the behavior itself could be prevented. Had Dan's parents helped him through his feelings of overwhelming sadness and worthlessness, he may not have gone through the same fate. He may still be living.

Suicide however can be prevented even in cases that seem hopeless. To avoid it from happening, intervention must be done for people who are depressed. One way is to give them medication to control their symptoms. There are many drugs in the market such as anti-depressants, tranquilizers and lithium that would help depressed individuals. Some of them may need prescriptions from a medical doctor while others are generic.
Another way is through psychotherapy. A person who undergoes the process of psychotherapy is helped by the clinician to understand the reason for his depression and then taught different ways to cope with his problems. For example, through the process of cognitive behavioral therapy, he may learn how to change his negative thinking and develop problem solving skills. Here, he may be asked to observe and write down the times and the reasons why he is feeling sad. Then, the therapist would gear him towards seeing how these reasons may be irrational and would challenge him to change his perceptions by requiring him to write down things that would counter them. If the individual then jots down that he is weak compared to everyone and that this is the reason for his sadness, the therapist would tell him to list down some of his achievements. Doing so would emphasize the irrationality of the thought thereby helping the person see himself in a more positive light. During later therapy sessions, he is taught to engage in behavior that would help him solve problems more concretely. Therefore, if he cannot see his strengths, he will be asked to do things wherein these could become visible. ( last part... )

An important manifestation of depression is anhedonia. Anhedonia is a psychological or medical term that means "loss of pleasure for life". Generally, it pertains to a loss of interest in everyday living. Because clinically depressed people experience anhedonia, they are also likely to withdraw from society and increasingly spend their time alone. An increase in their alone time also increases the possibility of them committing suicide. This is because there is no one in their environment who could stop them from doing so.
But why do people engage in such desperate measure? Researchers agree that there are a variety of reasons for the occurrence of such behavior. Some think suicide is caused by chemical imbalances in the person’s system. Others theorize that it is a maladaptive behavior that people learn from their environment. A person then who grows up in a community where suicide is rampant may resort to the same thing when problems arise. Still, there are theorists who say that the act of suicide is passed from one person to another on a multigenerational level. Therefore, even when the parents of a suicidal person do not show the same behavior, it is possible that somewhere in his family tree, the pattern is repeated. Whatever is the triggering factor of suicide, the cause is usually different from it. Hence, the skirmish that Dan had with his professor may have been the trigger for his action, but he had been feeling depressed way before his suicide occurred. (to be continued...)

Born May 19, 1952, in Kingston, Jamaica, Jones studied theater at Syracuse University before launching a career as a model. Jones' statuesque and flamboyant look proved to be a hit in the New York City nightclub scene, which led to a recording contract with Island Records in 1977. (source:www.starpulse.com)

Psychomotor agitation or retardation may also be manifested by depressed individuals. Agitated people may become restless and may be seen continuously pacing back and forth in an unsettled manner. On the other hand, those who have psychomotor retardation display the opposite of agitation. They may be stuck in one position for a long period of time, staring out of the window looking at nothing in particular or they could be sulking in a corner with glassy looks in their eyes, oblivious to whatever is happening in their environment.
In addition, a sudden change in appetite is significant of a depressive episode. However, contrary to the popular belief that depressed people often have weight loss, the change in weight as a result of the change in appetite may go either way. For some, they may unexplainably gain weight even when they do not eat. For others, they may shed a lot of pounds even when they keep on taking in food. The reason behind this phenomenon is the differences among people’s metabolism. There are individuals who may have slow metabolism that even a decrease in their appetite does not automatically mean that they will also become thinner. (to be continued...)
