Adding music to Blogger � an easy way!

There are multiple solutions for those, who would like to add musiccollection to the Blogger blog. If you have the music and entertainment relatedresources, most likely, you already have the more or less professionalsolution, while you keep the audio files on your own or web based server, andyou broadcast them through the embedded audio player. However, for those whoneed to illustrate the post with the music collection occasionally, thepresented solution might be quite handy.

iLike is a socialmusic discovery service and the dominant music application on the Facebook andGoogle platforms, which is now a subsidiary of MySpace since 2009. For ourpurposes, iLike.com allows creating a playlist of chosen songs and adding music toBlogger, Typepad, or, in fact, any web site, for free. For Blogger, you don'teven need to mess with the HTML code - you create a playlist and then hit the Addto Blogger button.

What isiLike.com?

iLike.com is a free service that lets you create playlists of songs youwant and share them with friends. Additionally, you can download free MP3 songfiles from new artists, learn about concerts, watch videos uploaded by artistsand much more. The community run web site lets you follow changing music tastesand access popular songs.

How to createa playlist of songs and add it to your blog?

Though there is a glaring orange signup button when you go to iLikehomepage, you actually don't need to register for an account just to create aplaylist of songs. Point your browser to embeddable playlist page (http://ping.fm/lds01).

You can now start creating the playlist - follow the five steps outlinedin the image below.

• Step 1: Enter a name for the playlist - this can be anything you want. A descriptive name is recommended.
• Step 2: Search for a song by either entering an artist or the song name in the search field.
• Step 3: Search results will be listed. I recommend trying to locate a song by its name because if the search is performed on the artist's name, only 10 results will be displayed and the song you are looking for might not be shown. Click on the "Add" button to include the song in the playlist.
• Step 4: Organize your playlist. You can also reorder the song listing by either entering a new order number or using the conveniently provided arrow buttons. To delete a song from the list simply hit the "Delete" (the one with the cross) button.
• Step 5: Click on the large "Done" button when you are satisfied with the playlist and are ready to add it to blogger.

The next page shows you how the playlist is going to look on a web page -on Blogger, as we shall see, the playlist is added as a widget which you canplace at different positions on the web page. You also get the direct link (theURL) of you playlist on iLike.com website. With a single click you can also putthe list on your Facebook profile page or tweet it on Twitter (where else?).You don't need to fiddle around with the HTML code if you just want to includethe playlist on Blogger.

Add the musicplaylist to Blogger

Click on the large "Add to Blogger" button in the middle of thepage. A new browser window shall open in which you need to enter your bloggerusername and password. You will now find yourself in the Layout -> Pageelements page. Place the playlist in the blog as you want and save thechanges. Note: it's added as a widget. Review your blog and tell everyone aboutit.

If you need to add this playlist to any other web site, you can get therelated code you can embed it anywhere with ease.

This review is performed by WebDevelopers Notes Blog.


The service drawback is that you cannot upload your own files to the playlist, and the fact that not all the tracks you may find through the search are in fact playable.

Phosphatidylserine Natural Supplement as Remedy for Alzheimer's Disease

What Is Phosphatidylserine?

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is one of the naturally-occurringmolecules present all through the body. Although the human body can producethis substance at its own, the majority of this nutrient can be attainedthrough the diet. However, because the diet which we follow today is unhealthyand lacks the essential nutrients, Phosphatidylserine is used in certaindietary supplements, and sometimes claimed to be useful for the below-mentioneduses:

• Depression
• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Alzheimer's disease
• Age-related dementia or cognitive decline

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an essential component in all ourcells; specifically, it is a major component of the cell membrane. The cellmembrane is a kind of "skin" that surrounds living cells. Besideskeeping cells intact, this membrane performs vital functions such as movingnutrients into cells and pumping waste products out of them. PS plays animportant role in many of these functions.

It is not yet known how exactly Phosphatidylserinesupplementation does work to treat Alzheimer's disease or for some otheruses, although it is generally believed that its levels may reduce due to thegrowing age and with certain other medical complications like Alzheimer's. Soto maintain those levels it is prescribed as a supplement with treatment.

It is widely used for this purpose in Italy, Scandinavia,and other parts of Europe. PS has also been marketed as a "brainbooster" for people of all ages, said to sharpen memory and increasethinking ability.

Effect of Phosphatidylserine onAlzheimer's Disease

Phosphatidylserine(PS), in studies of severe mental decline, appears to have been equallyeffective whether the cause was Alzheimer's disease or something entirelyunrelated, such as multiple small strokes. This certainly suggests that PS mayhave a positive impact on the brain that is not specific to any one condition.From this observation, it is not a great leap to suspect that it might beuseful for much less severe problems with memory and mental function, such asthose that seem to occur in nearly all of us who are older than 40. Indeed, onedouble-blind study did find that animal-source phosphatidylserine could improvemental function in individuals with relatively mild age-related memory loss.

Overall, theevidence for animal-source PS in dementia is fairly strong. Double-blindstudies involving a total of more than 1,000 people suggest thatphosphatidylserine is an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease and otherforms of dementia. The largest of these studies followed 494 elderly subjectsin northeastern Italy over a course of 6 months. All suffered from moderate tosevere mental decline, as measured by standard tests. Treatment consisted ofeither 300 mg daily of PS or placebo. The group that took PS did significantlybetter in both behavior and mental function than the placebo group. Symptoms ofdepression also improved. These results agree with those of numerous othersmaller double-blind studies involving a total of more than 500 people withAlzheimer's and other types of age-related dementia.

And, finally, the promising study results were published in the November2010 issue of the "Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition."Elderly study participants, all with mild cognitive impairment, took 100 or 300mg of phosphatidylserine per day for six months. Memory scores increased in allgroups, and those with the lowest starting scores improved the most.Improvements occurred mostly in delayed verbal recall, an aspect of memoryassociated with early stages of dementia. There were no adverse effects, andthe researchers concluded that phosphatidylserine is a safe and helpfulsupplement for improving memory for some people.

This line ofinvestigation substantially slowed down in the 1990s over concerns about madcow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), a fatal brain disorder believedto be caused by consuming foods or other products from affected cattle.Supplements containing phosphatidylserine are now derived from soy extracts. Earlystudies, though promising, were based on cow-derived supplements. There arereasons to expect that plant-source PS should function very similarly to PSmade from cows' brains, and some animal studies suggest that it is indeedeffective. However, in preliminary trials, soy-based PS and cabbage-based PSfailed to prove beneficial and did not show the same level of effectiveness.

  

Are There Side Effects?

Phosphatidylserine is generally regarded as safe when usedat recommended dosages. Side effects are rare, and when they do occur theyusually consist of nothing much worse than mild gastrointestinal distress. However,the maximum safe dosages for young children, pregnant or nursing women, orthose with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.

The known potential side effects are:

• Upset stomach
• Gas
• Insomnia.

  

Drug Interactions

Even though Phosphatidylserine is one of the naturalsupplements, it may potentially interact with some of the medications and othernatural supplements. For example, PS is sometimes is taken with ginkgo becausethey both appear to enhance mental function. However, some caution might be inorder: Ginkgo is a "blood thinner," and PS might be one as well. PSis known to enhance the effect of heparin, a very strong prescription bloodthinner. It is possible that combined use of PS and any drug or supplement thatthins the blood could interfere with normal blood clotting enough to causeproblems.

Some medicines which may result in Phosphatidylserine druginteractions are:

• Anticholinergic medicines, including, but not limited to:
• o Atropine
• o Belladonna (B&O Supprettes, Donnatal, Bellamine S)
• o Clidinium (Librax)
• o Benztropine (Cogentin)
• o Darifenacin (Enablex)
• o Clozapine (Clozaril)
• o Dicyclomine (Bentyl)
• o Diphenhydramine (Benadryl, Tylenol PM)
• o Haloperidol (Haldol)
• o Glycopyrrolate (Robinul)
• o Hyoscyamine (Levsin)
• o Homatropine (Hycodan)
• o Tolterodine (Detrol)
• o Ipratropium (Atrovent)
• o Tiotropium (Spiriva)
• o Scopolamine (Transderm Scop)
• Drugs which have cholinergic effects (including acetylcholinesterase inhibitors), like
• o Donepezil (Aricept)
• o Ambenonium (Mytelase)
• o Galantamine (Razadyne)
• o Edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol)
• o Bethanechol (Urecholine)
• o Methacholine (Provocholine)
• o Guanidine
• o Succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin)
• o Rivastigmine (Exelon)

This is not a complete list and some other drugs may alsointeract with Phosphatidylserine. Thus, inform your doctor about all sorts ofprescribed or non-prescribed medicines and health supplements you take.

Is Phosphatidylserine Safe?

Some people may be more likely than others to experienceproblems due to phosphatidylserine. Therefore, you should talk with yourhealthcare provider before taking the supplements if you have:

• Any serious or chronic health condition
• Liver disease, such as liver failure, cirrhosis, or hepatitis
• Kidney disease, such as kidney failure (renal failure)
• Any allergies, including allergies to medications, foods, dyes, or preservatives.

Also, let your healthcare provider know if you are:

• Pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant
• Breastfeeding

Make sure to tell your healthcare provider about all othermedicines you are taking, including prescription and non-prescriptionmedicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
