In architecture, a hall is a relatively large space enclosed by a roof and walls. In the Iron Age, a mead hall was such a simple building and was the residence of a lord and his retainers. Later, rooms were partitioned from it, and the space next to the front door became the entrance hall. Today, the (entrance) hall of a house is the space next to the front door or vestibule leading to the rooms directly and/or indirectly. Where the hall inside the front door of a house is elongated, it may be called a passage, corridor (from Spanish corredor used in El Escorial and 100 years later in Castle Howard) or hallway.
The term hall is often used to designate a British or Irish country house such as a hall house, or specifically a Wealden hall house, and manor houses.
In later medieval Europe, the main room of a castle or manor house was the great hall. In a medieval building, the hall was where the fire was kept. With time, its functions as dormitory, kitchen, parlour and so on were divided off to separate rooms or, in the case of the kitchen, a separate building.
Mental health is a level of psychological well-being, or an absence of a mental disorder; it is the "psychological state of someone who is functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment". From the perspective of positive psychology or holism, mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life, and create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. According to World Health Organization (WHO) mental health includes "subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, intergenerational dependence, and self-actualization of one's intellectual and emotional potential, among others." WHO further states that the well-being of an individual is encompassed in the realization of their abilities, coping with normal stresses of life, productive work and contribution to their community. However, cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how "mental health" is defined.

Here Will Hall, a mental health advocate and counselor, describes why the training most MD's and psychiatrists receive is wonderful for medical emergencies, but not for someone experiencing a psychotic emergency. He says that most are trained to look at the symptoms, come up with a diagnosis and apply the recommended treatment as quickly as possible. He goes on to say the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the DSM) with it's criteria for the classification of mental disorders 'is basically a sophisticated way for not listening' to the patient. http://crazywisefilm.com/
Will Hall is a 'person with lived experience' who almost jump from the Golden Gate Bridge. He now serves as a mentor or 'peer support person' for those going through a mental/emotional crisis. Will states that he would like everyone to have, "...the opportunity to explore what it might mean...maybe it's not just a broken brain, maybe it's not an just an illness... maybe it's something to explore and learn from." http://crazywisefilm.com/

Coming off or reducing psychiatric medication is often part of a person's recovery journey. I feel so much healthy for making this decision for my own recovery, but it hasn't been easy. This is part of my story. Thanks to the amazing and inspirational Will Hall for helping me share it in this interview at the world hearing voices congress in Wales 2012. I hope you may find this a helpful resource in deciding what is right for you and your mental health recovery. Amanda, Convenor Recovery Rocks Community.

In the 1960s Charles James Hall was a weather observer in the United States Air Force. He was stationed at Indian Springs in Nevada. He became aware of a base hidden in the mountains being used by a race of extra terrestrial which was known about by certain high ranking military officials. Charles claims to have met 3 different races of extra-terrestrial. The first he describes as "tall whites" who were peaceful and use or used a base in the mountains near Indian Springs. Another race Charles mentions are "The Grays" and another race of human looking E.T.s he describes as "Norwegians with 24 teeth". -- See http://www.richplanet.net/ for more information.

Hip Hop brought cultures together
I remember cuzines in camaros pumping "Tougher Than Leather"
Yankel Rosenbaum still got stabbed in Crown Heights
Gavin Cato got hit when they ran that red light
Over a decade of healing but the scars remain
Both families involved still harbor the pain
Age 13 - 70's baby raised in the 80's
Mad fights with blacks and whites
And both sides hated me for nonsense
The white kids was playin it wack
Cause I'm from the projects and my neighbors is black
I had to prove whiteboys could thump too
But fuck skin color - I was proud to call myself a tough jew
I guess I'm mad lucky to be raised in NY
The world's capitol - my attitude was take em to war
Other places would've raised me in a useless format
In Texas they dream about hunting jews with Borat
Call me white nigger
Call me christ killer or kike
Call me nigger lover
Because I spit on the mic
Think you got me figured out
You're not listening right
Get ya fuckin head kicked in for thinkin you're hype
Call me white nigger
Call me christ killer or kike
Call me nigger lover
Because I spit on the mic
Think you know what I'm about?
You're not listening right
Get ya fuckin head kicked in for thinkin you're hype
They call me white nigger
Call me every name in the book
I done heard em all
Fuck ya'll - I made it a hook
Made it a song
Exposing the hatred to all
Cause any type of racism is wrong
Had newsmen talking as a kid about Yusef Hawkins
Same age as me when Joey Fama caught him walking through Bensonhurst
A world away from my Glenwood Projects
Racially mixed - combustible - it lead to conflicts
I was never raised prejudice
My grandmother was a holocaust survivor
And my uncle did heroin
My pops wasn't around
My moms kicked him out the house
And broke her back to put food in our mouths
Age 12 - they bussed my projects to the white school
Holes in my sneakers - I never fit in with them rich white dudes
I didn't click up with the blacks kids neither - I bought a Iron Maiden
T-shirt and wrote rhymes in my trapper keeper
Call me white nigger
Call me christ killer or kike
Call me nigger lover
Because I spit on the mic
Think you got me figured out
You're not listening right
Get ya fuckin head kicked in for thinkin you're hype
Call me white nigger
Call me christ killer or kike
Call me nigger lover
Because I spit on the mic
Think you know what I'm about?
You're not listening right
Get ya fuckin head kicked in for thinkin you're hype
Run-D.M.C. really made me wanna get wreck
Same time Kerry King played guitar for Megadeth
It was 84, 85 - LL Cool J "rock the bells"
Obliterated my mind - so inspired I created a rhyme
Beastie Boys on U68 - "she's on it" made up my mind
Hardcore - the other bright side
I thought Bad Brains was white guys when Melle Mel
Dropped "white lines"
Nazi skinheads showed up at Lamour's in Brooklyn
Got stabbed up by puerto rican skins from Bushwick
Geraldo got his nose broken - Tawana Brawley on Donahue
Central Park wildin had the world scopin
Now VH1 got a show for wiggers
And some claim the jews be the biggest wiggers - we're considered
The most dangerous cause they think we shift our forms
Cast spells & wear beanies to restrict our horns from being seen
Growing out our heads - the killers of christ
These fools wear white sheets and believe that hitler was right
Believe it or not they still exist undercover
And Mel Gibson never liked Danny Glover
Another piece of shit called out in the paper - if we was there,
Me and my peoples would have beat the fuckin shit outta Kramer
If this song offends you, you're a hater - take a look within yourself
And figure out what the fuck you're afraid of
Call me white nigger
Call me christ killer or kike
Call me nigger lover
Because I spit on the mic
Think you got me figured out
You're not listening right
Get ya fuckin head kicked in for thinkin you're hype
Call me white nigger
Call me christ killer or kike
Call me nigger lover
Because I spit on the mic
Think you know what I'm about?
You're not listening right
