Under the new rules to be introduced as early as next week, soldiers will no longer have to show documentation that they directly experienced or were witness to a “traumatic event” — like a firefight, a bomb blast, or the death of a friend in combat. Getting supporting documentation has sometimes been a frustrating and challenging experience for soldiers. War zones aren’t always known for keeping the best paper records, and not every action or firefight is well-documented. According to The New York Times’ article, “Under the new rule, which applies to veterans of all wars, the department will ...

I didn’t think that much about this curse word until Blisstree asked me to write about how lousy it feels to swear in front of your progeny. Which got me worrying: “Why hadn’t it bothered me more? Is cursing worse than just yelling? Don’t other parents accidentally tell their kids to F*@# off? I started to canvass my like-minded parent friends, assuming I’d hear stories and assurances that would make me feel better about working blue around my kids. But while the first handful of peers I talked to were supportive, not one of them had cursed at their kids. This kind of F*&$ed me up. When K said: “I’m sorry, I don’t have a cursing story. But I’d like to read about other ...

However, the initial laughs will quiet down once your kid begins to tell others the swear word she learned from mommy. At that point, you’ll feel like the lousiest parent on earth. So how do you prevent or stop your kids from cursing? Watch Your (Potty) Mouth It may be asking a lot, but avoid using foul language in front of your children as much as possible. Youngsters absorb new words like a sponge – especially ones spoken with a lot of emotion. Avoid the Wrong Crowd In an article on NPR.org, Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker explains why you should monitor who your kids hang out with on a daily basis. Says Pinker: “Children are far more influenced by peers. That’s why kids o...

The Right Brain responds: Kathryn’s question came as a comment in response to our post on the Top 5 Best Bath Bombs. Normally we leave these kinds of questions to the Left Brain, but this time I couldn’t resist. Let’s see what it would take to make you float in your bath tub like you would in ocean water. If we do the math here’s what you get: Bath bomb math The average bathtub is somewhere around  50 gallons of water which is roughly 190 liters.  The salt content (aka “salinity”) of the ocean is about 35 grams of salt per liter of water. So, if you filled your tub with ocean water you’d have almost 7 ... thebeautybrains.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3159831 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 06:01:54 +0100 3159831 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2511167&cid=t_159819_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2009%2F06%2F15%2Fthe-age-of-innocence%2F You know, I can still remember being very young and how much fun it was. Or at least I think I remember it being fun. I felt safe, lacking stress or pressure, and was interested in what the great outdoors had to reveal. Now, you have to know that I lived in a pretty nice neighborhood, where the family ate dinner together, we all went to church on Sunday, and where it was OK to play in the street, ride your bicycle, climb trees and build forts. If you skinned your knee, the neighbor called your mom, and by the time you got home she had the bandage and tincture of iodine ready. I did my homework, the dishes, and played. Period. Oh, yeah, I had my sports (I rode horses), played golf, figure-skated, bowled, played badminton and croquet, and was on the rifle team. But did I run from activity t...

Attempting to refute the idea that hijacking planes and flying them into buildings was “off the table” as a terrorist tactic after 9/11, Theissen says: Really? Planes were off the table after 9/11? That would come as a surprise to every passenger in the past three years who had their liquids confiscated in an airport security line. Those security measures were instituted because in 2006 we foiled an al-Qaeda plot to hijack airplanes leaving London’s Heathrow airport and blow them up over the Atlantic (a plot our intelligence community says was just weeks from execution). (First, put aside some issu...

Yet most people admit that any successful business will meet to move the firm’s agenda forward together. So what are the alternatives to the meeting where a few dominate and others daydream? 1. Choose the best facilitator to chair the meeting. You’ll recognize master facilitators by the way they engage all voices and by the way  people in their circles speak up and feel heard. 2. Invite pair share activities to answer questions ahead of whole group discussions so that more reluctant speakers will gain insights in a smaller setting and then feel ready to jump into large group discussions with more confidence.3. Ask two footed questions and then i...

I'm quietly sitting with a colleague, talking, comparing the absurd manifestations of our business, bitching, the usual. Another woman from the office busts in to say THEY'RE EVACUATING THE MEDICAL SCHOOL!!!. Perhaps I'm too accustomed to the earth-shattering alarms that go off in prison, but my first thought was, "You've lost your mind. And disturbed my fragile moment of serenity." THERE'S A BOMB!!!Every new employee here, as I assume in most large institutions, must endure the numbingly boring employee orientations, but for some reason we are spared everything but the safety class. Now, in my mind, safety is a pretty reasonable affair (and this, of course, is factually confirmed in the training). But I would also point out that when I am with a seriously impaired pat...

I mentioned this over on my Hearty Life site as well. I really think it is a very cool concept! We also know that it is tough to aways make time for our very needed exercise and we tend to fall into the “rut” that is associated with these all to common happenings. Hey, we are not perfect, right? I do have some fun news to share with you. How many are familiar with Nintendo’s Wii? If you don’t have one in your house presently, good luck on making a reasonable bid as they are in high demand. Getting back to my point, Wii is now being prescribed as part of physical therapy for stroke patients and cardiac surgery patients and for general energy and exercise. Heck… it is the bomb fo...

This comes as a particularly harsh blow, since it's also been shown that 70% of this group also suffers from respiratory illnesses. But the true impact of this correlation won't be evident for years to come, when the disease may become present in many not currently affected. I can't help but be reminded of the aftermath of the bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII, when what was at first a tragedy of epic proportions was made by the realiz...
