But ask me about my childhood toys and suddenly I remember every detail, every curve of a ball, color, texture and even the faint smell of a favorite toy. There is one toy I remember in particular. It was a half red, half blue sphere covered with different shaped holes and yellow plastic shapes (triangles, stars, circles, etc.) meant to fit through them. If you’re curious, this is what it looked like. What I remember is being very young and feeling frustrated because no matter how hard I pushed I could never get all of those puzzle pieces into the holes. It was only when I got older that I realized every piece had its place. I was wasting my energy trying to force pieces where they didn&...

Plus is the new social network from Google, that is similar to Facebook. It has a timeline and allows you to interact with friends with an interface called circles. You group your friends in different circles (such as work, family, friends, etc) and interact with them through posts, video, chat, and even group video chat. This circle feature is a big step ahead in Social Media and the reason that many people will migrate from Facebook to Google Plus. There are so many tools and features in Google+ that you will certainly want to take the interactive tour and sign up for an account. Once you do, you will be presented with a Profile Screen. This is where I want to challenge you today. I want to know what you...

Readers and commenters (on e-CareManagement and The Health Care Blog) quickly grasped that a social networking platform could play a very useful role in coordinating our health care, yet also agreed with the conclusion that Facebook wasn’t  “it”. So let’s ask the question again: Could Google+ be your platform for care coordination? This post will Describe Google+ and Circles Discuss how Google+ gets past some of Facebook’s limitations as a care coordination platform Comment on Google+ as a care coordination platform (promising, but too early to tell) (more…) Article Series - Social Networks and Care CoordinationCould Facebook Be Your Platform for ... e-CareManagement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4997657 Mon, 04 Jul 2011 23:24:57 +0100 4997657 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4441989&cid=t_140169_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2011%2F02%2F06%2Fmaslow-revisited-the-hierarchy-of-chakras%2F What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualization. – Abraham Maslow In psychology, physiology, and medicine, wherever a debate between the mystics and the scientifics has been once for all decided, it is the mystics who have usually proved to be right about the facts, while the scientifics had the better of it in respect to the theories. – William James In the 40 years since Abraham Maslow’s death, the impact of his thinking about human needs and potential is still resonating in business and academic circles. Maslow’s original writings first appeared in a 1943 paper, A Theory of Human Motivation, and helped frame what drives us. It was drawn from his careful review and observation of those known for their greatness, and others, students in particul...

The interview, published in Praying magazine and US Catholic, was conducted shortly before she died from cancer, in March 1990, at the age of 53. For me, she is the picture of courage and perseverance of a person living gracefully with pain. Question: What kind of changes have you had to make in your life because of the cancer? Thea Bowman: Part of my approach to my illness has been to say I want to choose life, I want to keep going, I want to live fully until I die … I don’t know what my future holds. In the meantime, I am making a cons...

What you get is mostly a sales pitch, when what you need is pertinent information about the ingredients, how they work, and any possible side effects these ingredients could have.  Let me give you an example. One of the latest fads when it comes to “repairing” lines and wrinkles around the eyes is compounds that temporarily paralyze the muscles to lessen the affects of making facial expressions. This does nothing to actually reverse what is causing the lines around your eyes to form.  What you are not told is that long term use of formulas designed to cause temporary muscle paralysis...

In some circles, it is being hailed as something of an anti-aging miracle.  Here’s what it can do. First of all, it is the same as the protein that makes up the majority of the cells in the skin’s outer layers.  Inactive or dysfunctional keratin has been included in moisturizers for many years. The benefits were minimal, because the skin’s cells could not pick it up and use it.  The harsh chemicals and high heat used to soften it made it unusable. The same is true of the collagen and elastin proteins found in anti-aging products.  The skin’s cells cannot use them...

A formula from New Zealand called Functional Keratin has been shown to increase the skin’s firmness and elasticity by over 40% after 18 days of use. Of course the volunteers in the study had some serious sagging.  But, what works well for people with the worst problems will work well for those of us that only have a few. Two European formulas have been evaluated for reducing bags, under eye circles and crow’s feet.  Several independent studies have verified the company claims.  EYELISS and HALOXYL work.  After one month of use, there is a...

If you read a few online reviews, you will see that some people have terrible adverse reactions to these products.  The reactions include extreme redness, swelling, itching and irritated eyes.  Those reactions can be avoided if you avoid certain ingredients used in wrinkle creams. Paraffin wax is one to avoid.  I’m not sure why cosmetic companies include this ingredient in serums to be used around the eyes.  It is too thick and hard to apply.  But, it is included in some of the big brand named products. Artificial preservatives and added fragrances should be avoided in all cases, regardless of where the product is to be applied.  They are the most common causes...

A few at least. There is yet further proof to this theory and I have been holding off writing about it due to it being somewhat repetitive, but I have seen it so frequently that I think it is worth another mention. The US team discovered that volunteers who were roused whenever they were about to fall into the deepest sleep developed insulin resistance. This inability of the body to recognize normal insulin signals leads to high blood sugar levels, weight gain and, eventually, even type 2 diabetes. Personally, I have been in trouble from the start. My kids are such horrible sleepers and my hubby and I have not slept through the night in 7 years. Not to mention that a pin drop wakes ...

I hope when they get there – readers will find the “goods.” In fact I remain convinced that tricks for more readers will not land writers what they look for – constantly better content.
