Scott's sleek, sexy designs were popular among Hollywood stars such as First Lady Michelle Obama and Nicole Kidman, who was also Scott's friend.
Although her gowns were featured regularly on red carpets, her company faced mounting debts. Last October in accounts filed in London her firm, LS Fashion Ltd, reported a loss of 4.3 million euros (US$5.99 million) in 2012, an increase from 3.0 million euros the previous year.

Sure over the years we in this Forum have trained ourselves within the network and increased our knowledge which helps to deal with this numbness or shock - as we strive to keep the faculties of our mind sharp and critical.
Well when I got a call on Sunday that one of my best MBA students (just graduated, valedictorian, top of class) had committed suicide, I had that numbness feeling. 34 years old, 2 daughters, and recently remarried, he was active, physically fit, and just was a pleasure to have around in the class. With this tight group of MBAs, we had had several social events where I got to know him better, and I even caught a ride a few times with him from the campus to my apartment. He was one of those people I would have willing kept in my future 'professional network'.
Apparently he was experiencing lots of stress at work. I look at the other posts and the word "disintegration" comes to mind.
It was the next day after receiving the news, on Monday that it hit me, and I felt a tremendous feeling of loss and sadness, particularly for his daughters, even though I did not know them (or him) very well. I observed these emotions, and was wondering why tears were welling up - I think these emotions are coming from a realization that there will be more of this going on in the upcoming times.
I remembered that news of death is a time to reflect on one's own mortality and state of existence. The Gabor thread is timely, as underlying stress may be building inside of me, stress particularly from knowing what is going on in the world around us, and my body may be reminding me to keep prepared for what is ahead.

Menrva said:I am sorry to hear about your student, Jefferson. I've experienced those feelings as well. I think, too, that we pick up on the stress of society as a whole. People are really angry, depressed and stressed out due to the contractile nature of the way psychopaths are running things. And more is to come. Take care of yourself!
Siberia said:Yes, we should definitely learn how to fight stress, because it kills so many people nowdays. Knowledge does protect us in a really big way. If only this man was aware of what tricks the hormones play on us :(.
From my personal experience: when I fell into some emotional trap, I used to eat a LOT of sugar to fight my stress. But sugar is not a very efficient way to fight depression, you know. Not to mention the numerous side effects of it.
But now that I've discovered SOTT for me (shame on me, it only happened about one month ago ), things really changed for the better. Two of the most precious articles for me as of yet are about magnesium (to fight stress) and selenium (to prevent cancer). Many thanks to the SOTT team!

Making a show of someone's suicide attempt is just
Thanks for the quotes, Pierre! This seems to describe my experience as well, although I've also had ear ringing happen seemingly "randomly", during thoughts I might not typically attribute any "specialness" to, and not related to these sort of topics. The comment about "breakthrough thoughts" is interesting, as that often seems to have been the case - I have a realization of some sort and almost immediately the ringing begins.Pierre said:Q: (C) The reason we ask is because I've noticed a pattern. I even keep a log about it now because it's so weird. I personally get ear ringing when it seems like I'm talking to somebody out loud or to myself about a theory about something that has to do with matrix stuff. (L) So you're being monitored? (C) Right. So any time it seems like I'm having a breakthrough thought - you know drones, the matrix, the programs, holographic inserts - all of the sudden I'll get like an ear ringing. Sometimes the left, sometimes the right, but I'm trying to find out what the pattern is. So I'm keeping track of it.
davey72 said:Something i have noticed, and never heard anyone speak of is that if i think about it i can always here a kind of ringing. There is a constant pitch that seems to have highs, and lows of it's own if i just listen to it. Can anyone else here this? It is something that is usually drowned out , but if it is quiet, and i think about it then it is there.

Man arrested for trying to open hatch mid-flight plane bound to Sacramento
The incident occurred on Chicago-Sacramento Southwest Airlines flight
The man got up from seat and tried to open the hatch at back of the plane
Luckily quick-thinking passengers leapt on the man as others screamed
Dr Scott Porter held him down until air marshals boarded in Omaha to arrest
A flight to California turned to horror yesterday when a passenger tried to open the door at 30,000 feet in the air, forcing the pilot into an emergency landing.
Travellers on board the Southwest Airlines flight 722, from Chicago to Sacramento, began screaming in terror when the man approached the back of the plane and attempted to unlock the hatch-door.
He had minutes earlier emerged form the bathroom after soaking himself in water.
As panic spread through the cabin, the captain of the flight decided he had no choice but to divert the plane to Omaha, Nebraska.But, as the plane came in to land, two heroic passengers rugby-tackled the man and restrained him on the floor until air marshals arrived to escort him away in handcuffs.
Monique Lawler of Diamond Bar was on the flight and captured the scene on her mobile phone once safely on the ground.'Some gentleman just decided that he wanted us to visit the Lord today, and decided to open up the back hatch of Southwest Airlines flight while we were already up in the air,' she told KABC.
She said her suspicions were aroused when he came out after a long spell in the toilet cubicle completely covered in water. That's when the situation took a turn for the worst.
'He got up and went to the rear of the plane and tried to open up the hatch,' said Lawler. 'One of the airline stewardess just started screaming as well as passengers screaming help.'
But quick-thinking doctor Scott Porter and another passenger leapt on the man before he could get the door open.
'I ran to the back of the plane, where I was joined by two other people,' he told KCRA-TV. 'We tackled the guy and held hime down. He was going to do bad things to the plane.'
After the man was removed from the flight, it continued to its destination.The flight with 5 crew members and 134 passengers arrived in Sacramento about two hours behind schedule.
The airline had no further details about the passenger. A call to the Omaha Airport Authority wasn't immediately returned.
Perhaps it is just the perception of it? I noticed how low it was when i started reading your reply, and now it is pretty loud. It seems like i can increase the volume at will until it is almost like whitenoise.Divide By Zero said:Hearing noise in silence is normal.
I get tested yearly at work for hearing loss and have well above average hearing especially at the higher pitches (which usually get damaged first). I can hear the "hum" or whatever it can be classified as when things are quiet. Maybe some people can filter that out and don't notice it, but I'm the type that hears/notices every little noise (which can be annoying, but also useful when it comes to troubleshooting mechanical things).

"Its normal, it is your brain creating sensory signals in lack of other sources.
aka: if it is too quiet, your brain will make its own noise. "
But I do notice that sometimes it is louder... could it be linked to picking up non audio signals that the brain is translating to sound?
