For those times when I seem to be spinning my wheels, I keep a list of things that I can do every day, even when I have no extra time, money, or energy to spare. I sometimes forget to write in my one-sentence journal and I don’t always make it to the gym, but I do try to make sure I hit all these items. That way, even if I feel like I had a day when I got nothing accomplished, I can comfort myself, as I climb into my smooth, tidy bed, “Well, at least I went for a walk. I ate an apple. I hugged my daughters.” Every day, I… 1. Make my bed. 2. Wear sunscreen (well, most days). 3. Wear my seat belt. 4. Jump up and down a few times. 5. Pick up one object that’s in the wrong place and put it away. 6. Go for a ten...

(“Yan”) Chow. It is a blog about dealing with everything youths today have to deal with — from college and study woes, to relationship issues, family crises, friendship drama and everything in-between. I believe teens and young adults often have the greatest need for mental health and psychology information and resources, but also face the greatest challenge in actually accessing such resources (for numerous reasons). Hopefully blogs such as this one help de-mystify the psychology and mental health of youth. Despite campaigns by both parents to become either an architect or lawyer, Yan is currently a final year BSc Psychology student at the University of Warwick in England. She aspires to write for ...

Episode 8: Elevate Your Elevator Pitch The concept of what a virtual assistant is and does is still relatively new, at least to the people I have encountered lately.  When they ask, “What do you do?”, I still struggle to give them an answer.  I liken it to being just like having an administrative/executive assistant in your office or place of business except I work from my home for you virtually.  This answer is still pretty vague and not a suitable response.  I found by creating an effective elevator speech I am now able to answer the question “what do you do?” in 60 seconds or less...

I have grown to love this little guy. I’ll tell you why in this post. (Disclosure: I received a free SPI belt to try out and review from SPI’s PR firm. I think the retail value is about $20 as I already had a SPI belt and paid $20 at a triathlon trade show. I gladly accepted the free offer so I could have a back up. They didn’t ask me to say anything so what you are reading here are my honest opinions as the average endurance athlete.) There’s really only one reason I love using my SPI belt. It makes racing easier. That’s it. Here’s a pic of me crossing the finish line at Nation’s Triathlon. It was great to have gels and gummies in my SPI belt for t...

The belt is made of the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. Not only is the danger higher among people born in the stroke belt, the risk rises even among those people who are born somewhere else and they move to the area. The risk is still higher though, among people originally born in the stroke belt. Researchers used census data from 49 states, looking at ages and stroke rates. What they found was The rate of death related to stroke was 74 per 100,000 for people who were born in the stroke belt and lived there in the year 2000, but only 47 per 100,000 for people who were neither born in the stroke belt nor lived there in the y...

No not Dick Grasso. Rich Grasso, a good friend and uncle died Thursday. Since then I have been struggling to find meaning in what I do. My Uncle, well, my uncle-in-law, was one heck of a guy who lived life to the fullest. He had so many friends. I remember meeting "The Family" when I was dating my wife and how scared I was......Richard said, don't sweat it, we don't bite......except for Nanny.He always had a way of making me feel warm and loved. He gave the best hugs and always gave great advice. Unfortunately, he died because he forgot to do one simple thing. He forgot to wear his seat belt. He was thrown from his car and that's what killed him. It seems to me, after this swine flu thing and now with my uncle.....all of this overbloated hype about genomes saving the wo...

Yesterday’s McDowell News reports that a 14-year-old autistic student was restrained using a “belt-like device”—-a belt used to help students using wheelchairs in and our of their chairs. Jeremiah’s mother, Ann Watson, said that the school did not inform her about restraining her son and in this way. She further said the system has purged documents that reflect poorly on the school system’s handling of special needs students. Last month she began noticing that Jeremiah was nervous, unable to sleep at night, and unusually upset. He ...

It is bi-lingual and there is an English version as well as a BM version. The new site has the usual Web 2.0 features including a Blog, Forum etc. I think blog posts like So You Think You are An Immortal are useful reminders on road safety tips like wearing a rear seat belt.

But this can't be overlooked: The NHS has been accused of "conveyor belt" childbirths. From the story:Women are giving birth on a virtual conveyor belt because maternity wards are so overcrowded and understaffed, a damning report has revealed. The Healthcare Commission report--the most detailed ever undertaken--has exposed a grim picture of women giving birth in units where there are not enough toilets or showers and women are rushed through so fast that more than one mother gives birth in each bed every day.Consultants are not present on the wards enough of the time, midwives and doctors do not get on with each other and severe staff sho...

One belt can move the leg backward, while the other belt moves the opposite leg forward. Researchers say that if you try to think about it, you'll fall right off this treadmill, but if you let your brain take over, it can master it pretty quickly. In fact, when healthy people were put on the treadmill and "taught" to lurch, they couldn't walk normally for 10 minutes after stepping off the machine! When stroke victims are put on the machine, it improves t... The Cardio Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=802237 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 04:00:00 +0100 802237
