I'm not going to try to explain it in detail here. You can read the principles of the therapy on the site. Basically you have to retrain your limbic system (this is a concept psychologists are all aware of) so it starts to ignore the tinnitus. If you want to know why and how that works: read the information on the site. It's not that complicated. The sound you should use is something very personal as you have to chose sound that makes you calm. In my case that was an mp3 of nature sounds but every case is different.

For the record, I'm in no way affiliated with the doctors providing this information on the web. I'm actually very surprised their site is still largely unchanged on the web after 15 or so years.

I basically used the material available on this site: https://tinnitus.org/ (look in the papers section) and an mp3-player with headphones near my bed. That was about it.

You could buy expensive books if you wanted to but I didn't. If you are too far gone down the rabbit hole (for example when you consider suicide), you could follow TRT-courses and probably need professional help and shouldn't do this entirely on your own. Most western countries have these.

I'm a classical pianist and did it by myself to rid me of tinnitus and hyperacusis. I started quite early after onset and managed to get rid of it in a week or two. I couldn't sleep anymore and after the therapy on myself I could sleep sound and well in a day. It's been about 14 years since I live without it and never had a relapse. It never seems to get much attention. It doesn't require any drugs nor expensive equipment.

There are already theories that nicely explain away dark matter. Look at the Emergent Gravity theory by Erik Verlinde. Dark matter always makes me think about the 19th century fascination with ether that in the end Einstein realized he didn't need it to explain everything. If you can not in any way prove that something exists, it probably doesn't exist.

The idea that spent fuel is 96% fuel is also a pipe dream in reality: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reprocessing says:

In order to make the uranium in spent fuel usable it needs to be separated and enriched further which is so expensive it isn't economic at this time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reprocessed_uranium).

Concerning the much touted MOX-fuel, there are currently only 4 reactors in the world able to efficiently use MOX-fuel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOX_nuclear_fuel and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_reactor#Currently_operating). I guess that the one in Japan is currently not operating.

Japan is still using this system and as far as I know isn't switching yet.

Read this fine article for some more "down to earth" ideas about this study: http://ww.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/09/largest-volcano-on-earth-it-is-all-about-timing/

This was about time. This decision was about 30 years overdue. Just a selection from the wiki article:

1. accident in December 1995, in which a sodium leak caused a major fire, forced a shutdown.
2. On August 26, 2010, a 3.3-tonne "InVessel Transfer Machine" fell into the reactor vessel when being removed after a scheduled fuel replacement operation.
3. 16 February 2012 NISA reported that a sodium-detector malfunctioned
4. 30 April 2013 an operating error rendered two of the three emergency reactors unusable. During the monthly testing of the emergency diesel generators, staff forgot to close six of the twelve valves they had opened before testing, releasing thick black smoke
5. On 5 March 2012 a group of seismic researchers revealed the possibility of a 7.4M (or even more potent) earthquake under the Tsuruga Nuclear Powerplant. (the fault runs about 250 meters from the reactor building...)

Do they need any more reasons to close this thing? It seems a bunch of children is running this sodium cooled thing that has reached criticality for a very short duration in is operational life time.

Oh, come on. Nuclear is not carbon neutral. If you imply all the associated costs of mining Uranium (in third world countries), transporting it, working it up, processing it after it has been used, cleaning up the stuff and storing it for 10.000 years, it can hardly be called carbon neutral.

And were is all the uranium coming from that's supposed to keep imports down? Exactly: from outside of the country... Imports are not up!

Or should one say: Insha'Allah

Conserving? I don't know where you live in Japan, but from everything I've seen they blow cold air straight into the hot air in summer. Japanese certainly know how to waste energy. There's a whole lot more to be conserved. They might reduce energy consumption in offices and schools but I've not seen anything of that in public shopping malls whatsoever. Business would probably be to affected if they did it.

Don't know where you got that one from but sure as hell businesses run the place in Japan. You might be right for the street sign but for everything that is real life, forget it. The bureaucracy is intimately linked on all levels with businesses. Everything that goes contrary to businesses is simply not done. Help yourself a little by reading this: Amakudari.

My macbook has been running Ubuntu happily since well over two years. One of the things I have noticed is that firefox and openoffice are twice as fast under Ubuntu compared to Mac OS X on the same machine.

Obviously you don't seem to have read the news lately... Or know your history very well...
