It can have extraordinary power to make relationships more positive and healthy; to improve your focus and rate of success; and to build self-esteem and overall happiness. A mind shift is an “ah ha” moment on steroids. It’s the movement of the tectonic plates in your psyche, opening your mind to entirely new ways of thinking and acting. Author, speaker, and coach extraordinaire, Steve Chandler, writes about mind shifting in his book Shift your Mind: Shift the World. He su...

From these seeds, trees grow almost anywhere, amongst flowers and between grape vines. Trees even weave in and out of metal fencing. Have you ever noticed how trees grow in spite of limits? A tree makes space for its roots and leaves, changing directions as needed. We, too, can create space and adjust for personal growth. For me, changing myself is a far greater challenge than academic learning. Iíve got the knowledge, yet applying it to my life is something different. Turning knowledge into action can get even tougher when I impose limits on myself. What limits do you impose on yourself? When we limit ourselves, we stunt our growth potential. Do any of these limiting assumptions sounds familiar? I’ll n...

This is the university that leads the nation for the percentage of students (about 20 percent) choosing family medicine. North Dakota overall will be short about 160 physicians by 2025, and the need is now affecting urban areas as well as rural ones, said Joshua Wynne, FACP, dean of the university’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Keeping medical students interested in practicing primary care in rural America depends upon whom medical schools choose to admit. For example, one-fourth of the University of North Dakota’s student population hails from small towns, and 80 percent are in-state. More and more medical schools are looking at ...

A lot of crap, right? The average person tosses four pounds of trash a day. But get this: An eco-friendly couple in Oregon created just four pounds of trash over 365 days. They decided to go debris-free for an entire year, and through recycling, buying locally grown food, and composting, they accumulated around 75 pieces of small trash during that time. Crazy.

Are you sabotaging your own recovery? To grow in recovery, we must grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which include: • confusing self-concern with selfishness • not making amends • using the program to try to become perfect • not getting help for relationship troubles • believing that life should be easy In simple, down-to-earth language, Allen Berger explores the twelve most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.

This includes the desire to continue an active, satisfying sex life as they grow older. But, with aging, there may be changes that can cause problems. This can be more critical for people in recovery from alcoholism, addiction, co-dependency, ACOA, gambling or sex addiction. What Are Normal Changes? Normal aging brings physical changes in both men and women. These changes sometimes affect the ability to have and enjoy sex. A woman may notice changes in her vagina. As a woman ages, her vagina can shorten and narrow. Her vaginal walls can become thinner and also a little stiffer. Most women will have less vaginal lubrication. These changes could affect sexual function and/or pleasure. Talk with your doctor about these proble...

Depression, addictions, compulsive behaviour and low self-esteem are but symptoms, signs of a broken relationship within our ‘self’. They are symptoms of a ‘wounded spirituality’. When this connection between our body, mind and emotions is broken or damaged, our ability, our ‘response-ability’, to respond healthily to life’s circumstances is limited. In 12 Step recovery our task is to identify and undo the broken parts of ourselves and learn to respond positively and creatively – to say YES to life in a way which enables serenity to grow and be maintained.

A human trial of the new technique is being planned by plastic surgeons at a London hospital. The trial will study whether fat cells can be induced to multiply and fill a breast-shaped mold implanted under the chest skin to recreate a breast after mastectomy. Australian scientists also recently announced that they would start similar treatments on women within six months, following animal studies involving mice and pigs that successfully re-grew breasts from fat.

That would be a miracle as some "98,000 people are on a waiting list for transplants right now" according to CBS News. CBS says a research team at Wake Forest University believes any body part replacement you need can be grown. From blood vessels to muscle tissue, Atala and his team at Wake Forest University believe that in theory anything inside the body can be grown outside the body, CBS News correspondent Wyatt Andrews reports. And it's real: They've made 18 different types of tissue so far. "That's a heart valve?" Andrews asked. Atala said: "This is an engineered heart valve." What he pointed to was a pulsing heart valve to be transplanted into a sheep. "When people ask me 'what do you do,'...

Although this interview refers to one of my other b5media’s blogs, Home Biz Notes, it provides a view of my thoughts about writing and living in today’s Internew world.   Yvonne also interviewed Liz in March and April, about the time Liz began writing at Alzheimer’s Notes.  Actually this was a four-part interview series and is an enjoyable read that gives you insight into Liz’s world. Incidentally, it’s interesting, that in today’s Internet era, two bloggers on opposite sides of the glob...

Times have changed and Rotary has too – so that you’ll find increasingly mixed groups – with the same high purpose of service above self. How could this organization sprint forward - and help younger business leaders at the same time? With more effort to reach beyond one or two population groups ... Rotary could grow its lagging US membership by embracing young and growing business leaders. It can't be business as usual though. Consider in the following approaches that would attract more young leaders…1. Offer expert advice for getting a new career or business started in a tough economy.2....

Do let us know what questions and concerns you have.

But we may be able to stop cancer cells in their tracks through a process called senescence. In senescence, cells don't divide. And when cells don't divide, they don't grow. In such a scenario then, cancer cells wouldn't divide and therefore couldn't grow.Think about this:According to lab tests on mice, triggering senescence in certain cells hampers the growth of some tumors.Researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston are the ones behind the scenes on this project -- the study appears online in EMBO Reports, a publication of the European Molecular Biology Organization -- and all eyes are on the p53 gene.The p53 gene lives...

I'm sure of it. It did wonders for my grandma, who planted and flowered and blossomed for most of her life and long after her rounded back and arthritic fingers told her to stop. She just couldn't help herself -- the fruits of the earth brought her such joy that the toll hard labor took on her body was somehow worth every trace of dirt that crumbled beneath her fingertips.In my own small way, I can't resist either. I'm no lifelong gardener or anything. I'm more of a spur-of-the-moment kind of girl. And I haven't a green thumb on either of my hands. My flowers always seem to die. Because no matter how much I love them at the beginning of the warm season, I end up neglecting them.I tel...
