Wi-Fi in Schools is Safe. True or False?

2011-12-09T16:49:00.001-08:00

December 4, 2011. A growing number of schools are having wireless routers installed across North America despite the fact that many of these schools already have ethernet connections and students are able to access the internet.

I have been asked to give lectures on this topic to many different groups. For those who would like information about Wi-Fi in schools and whether or not it is safe, please watch this video. Click here for video and here for pdf.

Some students, in schools with Wi-Fi, are complaining about ill health that includes headaches, dizziness, nausea, weakness and heart palpitations. Exposure in one school has exceeded Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 guideline but no one in Municipal, Provincial or Federal Health Departments/Ministries is responding.

Teachers concerned about exposure are told to keep quiet and not to speak publicly against School Board Policy.

Parents don’t know if their children are attending schools that have wireless routers as they have NOT been consulted about this and are NOT required to give consent for their children to be exposed to microwave radiation.

Some School Boards are measuring the microwave radiation in the classroom but the measurements are deeply flawed as those doing the monitoring are unqualified and are taking measurements inappropriately. The routers in some schools are hidden behind ceiling tiles and the technicians don’t know where these are.

We are heading for a health tsunami if we expose young children to pulsed microwave radiation generated by Wi-Fi routers in the classroom for the duration of their school education.

The World Health Organization in May 2011 classified this form of radiation as a possible human carcinogen, but this has not affected School Board policy. They can’t get Wi-Fi into schools fast enough.

Those of us who have been studying this issue for decades are perplexed that those responsible for the education of the next generation are so out of touch with reality and are so irresponsible in the decisions they are making that will affect the lives of many young people and their teachers. They are undemocratic in their conduct and, when all else fails, they resort to bullying tactics. Are these the type of people we want making policy decisions and educating our children and grandchildren?

If you care about the health of students and their teachers, please watch and share this video. Click here to watch video and click here if your prefer to read it as a pdf.

You Know, You Can Change Who You Are

2011-04-06T20:37:00.001-07:00

Have you ever been labeled?
Maybe your parents always said you were the “naughty one” or the “quiet one” or the “clever one”. Maybe your classmates called you a “geek”. Maybe your friends expected you to live up to a particular reputation (even when you thought you’d outgrown it).
You almost certainly have labels that you give yourself – whether you realize it or not. Perhaps you think you’re “lazy” or “bad with money”. Or you resist other descriptions – you think you could never be “musical” or “artistic” or “creative”.
The truth is, we can all change. In fact you have changed, gradually, throughout your life. You’ve probably been through times when you realized that you were capable of much more than you gave yourself credit for.
Plenty of qualities – like your creativity, intelligence, physical strength, and more – aren’t fixed. You can actively improve them, through practice, and sometimes just by changing the way you think about yourself.

Three Stories About Change
When I was in college, I got a lot of vacation time – and I wasted plenty of it playing computer games. On a good day, I managed to write a thousand words or so.
Now, I work for myself, and while I could play games all day, I never do. I often write three or four thousand words, and I’m much more focused and self-disciplined than I used to be.
This didn’t happen overnight. I gradually built up the habit of writing (and worked to break bad habits – like thinking that I needed to idly surf the net while I “woke up properly” every morning).
My change hasn’t been dramatic or overnight, just a gradual process of trying to become more and more the person who I want to be. I’m not there yet (I’m not sure anyone ever reaches that goal!) but I’m definitely moving in the right direction.
Sometimes, people change in more dramatic ways – life-changing, even life-saving, ways. I want to very briefly share a couple of inspiring stories from two bloggers who I’ve admired for a long time.
Shauna Reid, aka Dietgirl, lost half her body-weight and wrote all about it on her blog. She had a book published about her dieting journey. (Along the way, she moved from Australia to Scotland, and got married.) She’s a fantastic writer, and her story shows that you really can change your life.
Trent Hamm, who writes The Simple Dollar, was mired deep in financial problems when his first son was born. In 2006, he began a financial turnaround which led to a very successful blog, two book deals, and a much more stable life. I’ve been particularly struck when he writes about his previous attitudes to money (or other aspects of life, like leisure time) compared with his current ones: proof that you can change, radically, at a really fundamental level.
How You Can Change Too
The first step to changing who you are is to recognize that it’s in your power to change. Sure, most of us don’t change overnight – though health and financial wake-up calls can prompt sudden focused action. But we can all take steps, slowly and gradually, to change ourselves into the people who we want to be.
You might want to think about:
Habits that are holding you back. Perhaps you keep procrastinating, or you constantly overspend.

Lack of confidence or other psychological issues.

Health issues – like being overweight, struggling to manage a health condition, or being chronically unfit.

Your skills and abilities – is there something you’d love to do or learn, but which you keep telling yourself you’re not capable of?
I wouldn’t recommend trying to change everything at once. Instead, pick one area and focus wholeheartedly on improving at that particular thing. You might like to check out some recent posts on Dumb Little Man for inspiration:
How to Prove That You Are Worthy of a Raise

How to Curb Your Unnecessary Spending
Whatever you choose to change, good luck! You really can do it. Give yourself plenty of time, and work in small steps: this time next year, your life could look radically different.

How to Find Time For Yourself

2011-04-02T21:03:00.001-07:00

Today our lives are busier than ever before. Our time is pressed by career, family, friends and sometimes even the things we took on as being “for me” become a chore that saps our precious time. I mean, while your iphone addiction may be considered 'a break', is it really relaxing and does it really do anything to recharge your batteries? Doubtful.
So how do we successfully take time out for ourselves? Where can we look for those little nuggets of time in a world of perpetual task lists? It sounds simple but we all know it's not. Here are some tips for addressing issues related to the time in our lives and some advice to help you find some time for yourself in your hectic schedule.
Complete a Time Audit
It might sound silly but we often actually don’t know where our time goes. Over the course of a normal week, make an attempt to keep track of what you do with your time. Carry a small notebook and check your watch when you start different tasks at home and at work.
What were the surprises? Do you spend an inordinate amount of time checking emails, responding to phone calls, completing tasks you thought were a minor part of your workload? Try to think about why these things take longer than you thought they would. Are you completely focused on them or, because they are minor tasks, are you doing something else at the same time? As we’ve been aware for a while now, multitasking is not always the best way to go.
If tasks take longer in reality than you expected or allowed for, you will always feel as if you are behind schedule and ‘playing catch-up’. Knowing where your time goes is the first step to finding some time for yourself.
HINT: Allow more than enough time for tasks, including driving to and from various places. Use your audit results and be realistic about the time you’ll need to complete tasks. If it suits the way you work, use your audit results to create a timetable or schedule for your day and don’t forget to include coffee breaks and downtime in your plan.

Complete a Priorities Audit
This will work in conjunction with you time audit to help you determine whether you are spending your time on the things that are actually most important to you.
Start by brainstorming all the commitments you spend your time on (use your time audit to help you) including your spare time.
Check your list and see if there’s anything missing eg. it’s important that you visit your great aunt every month but your time audit wasn’t completed in the week that you have you visit.
Rank your commitments in order of importance.
Compare the ranking with your time audit – you have to be a little flexible here. For example, ‘work’ may rank down your list a little but take up a huge amount of time, you need to take into account the fact that without work many of the leisure time commitments are not possible. Of course, make sure to acknowledge and address whether the time commitment required by you job is worth it.
Plan a Break
Plan breaks in your daily schedule but also in your leisure time. We sometime fill our weekends with as much socializing or home duties as possible because our hectic working lives leaves little time during the week to chat with a friend, catch up for a coffee or get the clothes washed. When we pack our lives so fully, we leave no down time and we tend to feel as if we are rushing from one thing to another – from work to drinks with friends to a dinner out to a family birthday…
Regularly (perhaps once a month or two) block out a weekend in your diary or calendar. Give it a title like “My Time” or “VIP Weekend”. Don’t accept invitations on these weekends. And don’t wait for a free weekend to present itself because last minute invitations can easily swallow up your time or, if you do actually get the weekend to yourself, you’re not ready for it. In your scheduled time off from your life, plan something that you want to do. Spend the weekend catching up on some reading, watching some DVDs, wandering around a market, gardening, playing in the park with your kids… whatever it is that you will enjoy and will make you feel as if you have used your time in a decadent manner. You’ll feel more refreshed and ready for your working week if you’ve actually treated yourself and allowed yourself the time you need to start feeling human again.
In summary, know your time usage; know your priorities; and plan time for yourself. You’ll be more productive in the long run and, besides, you’re worth it!

Southwest grounds planes after roof rips open on Phoenix flight

2011-04-02T10:10:00.001-07:00

Southwest Airlines will ground 79 of its Boeing 737 planes for inspection after the roof ripped open on one of its flights, the company said this morning.

"The safety of our Customers and Employees is our primary concern, and we are grateful there were no serious injuries," said Mike Van de Ven, Southwest's executive vice president and chief operating officer, in a statement.

Southwest expects to cancel about 300 flights today nationwide. Customers should check the status of their flight online before heading to the airport, said Southwest spokesperson Brandy King.

It is unclear how long the inspections will take, she said.

So far, eight flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport -- six departures and two arrivals -- were affected by the cancellations, according to an airport spokesman.

Southwest Flight 812 from Phoenix to Sacramento made an emergency landing in Yuma after the roof ripped open Friday, passengers said.

The flight left Sky Harbor Airport around 3:25 p.m. and landed safely at Yuma Marine Corps. Air Station at 4:07 p.m., said Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

There were 118 passengers and five Phoenix-based crew members on board Flight 812. A flight attendant and one passenger received minor injuries, according to a Southwest Airlines statement. All passengers will receive a full refund along with an apology and two complimentary roundtrip passes on Southwest for future flights, the company said.

Passenger Brenda Reese said the top of the Boeing 737 ripped open, leaving a gaping hole between 5 to 6 feet long.

Reese said it sounded like an explosion when the top of the plane "popped off" and that passengers only had a few seconds to put their oxygen masks on. She said a few people passed out because they couldn't get to oxygen fast enough.

"The noise woke me up and instantly the mask dropped," Reese told 12 News. When she realized there was a hole in the plane, Reese thought, "God, bring me safely home to my three children."

Reese told The Republic that the pilot handled the emergency well, and passengers applauded him when he left the cockpit after the landing. Around 6 p.m. Reese said she was still on the plane at 6 p.m., awaiting another Southwest aircraft from Phoenix scheduled to take passengers to Sacramento by 8:30 p.m.

Another passenger, Larry Downey, told 12 News he was directly below the hole when it opened up.

"You could look out and see blue sky," Downey said.

He said a flight attendant didn't get an oxygen mask on fast enough and the man fell and hit his head. "It was pandemonium," Downey said.

The FAA reported pilot made a rapid descent from 36,000 feet to 11,000 feet after the hole opened.

Jim Tilman, an aviation consultant and longtime pilot, told 12 News the plane had to make a rapid descent to bring the passengers to breathable air. He said the hole in the plane would not have affected the pilot's ability to control the aircraft and that crew would have had plenty of time to get the plane down.

"The crews are very well trained to handle this," Tilman said.

An inspector from the FAA was on scene Friday night, Gregor said. Teams from the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the hole.

A similar incident on a Southwest plane to Baltimore in July 2009 also forced an emergency landing when a foot-long hole opened in the cabin.

Four months earlier, the Dallas-based airline had agreed to pay $7.5 million to settle charges that it operated planes that had missed required safety inspections for cracks in the fuselage. The airline, which flies Boeing 737s, inspected nearly 200 of its planes back then, found no cracks and put them back in the sky.

Glaciers growing on Mt. Shasta

Record snowfall to spur even more growth

Glaciers growing on Mt. Shasta

- Online By Robert Felix Thursday, March 31, 2011
Although the media has done a great job of covering this up, the inconvenient fact is that all seven glaciers on California’s Mount Shasta are growing. This includes Whitney Glacier, the state’s largest.

Yes, growing. Not melting.

Not only are Mt. Shasta’s glaciers growing, two have nearly doubled in size.

Both the Hotlum and Wintun Glaciers have nearly doubled in size since 1950, says this article on Wikipedia. The Bolam Glacier has increased by half, while the Whitney and Konwakiton Glaciers have grown by a third.

Scientists first became aware of these growing California glaciers in 2002, and I began writing about them in 2003. Now, eight years later, most media outlets still refuse to acknowledge that these glaciers are growing.

After this year’s record snowfall, it will become harder to continue the deception.

Record snowfall

With a record 98 inches of snow during the month of March, and an estimated 6 feet of new powder during the past week, theMt. Shasta Ski Park is extending its ski season, said an article yesterday on redding.com.

Are You Neglecting You?

2011-03-09T18:12:00.001-08:00

Everyone desires a long and healthy life yet very few are willing to work for it. Many would rather overindulge and turn an eye on health all in favor of things that frankly aren't as important. How come the one thing that shouldn’t be taken for granted is the very first to be overlooked by most? Face it, our schedules are packed with excuses and I am not downplaying your busy life. I'm simply stating that most should put health a little higher on the priority list.
While it's easy to identify obvious areas where change is needed (think of eating too much fast food) there are areas that just seem untouchable. Grocery shopping, commuting to work and helping kids with homework are just three examples of this. Though these are important things that need to be done, one’s own health and well-being should not be overlooked.
Consider waking up tomorrow morning to news that a friend has cancer. At some point, most people will think, "Did their lifestyle do this". "Will mine?". Ill health is a state that we avoid thinking about until it actually hits us. The importance of having an active lifestyle need not be restated, yet it gets ignored until us or someone close to us gets affected by it. Don't wait to make changes until the day you're waiting for a biopsy result. Make a few minutes in your day today to think of areas in your life that need to change.
Though sometimes there is little you could have done to prevent what life throws at you, in most cases a little due diligence can make all the difference. Here are a couple of simple examples and we've linked to several previous articles that will help as well.
Research Your Doctors
This is the most important step to ensure your health is in the right hands. Just because the doctor is in your vicinity or is accepting new patients is not a good enough reason to make them your choice. Look into their working history and get feedback from past or current clients to see if they meet your needs. Websites like RateMDs or DoctorScorecard can be great sources of information with forums to discuss concerns or apprehensions. It encompasses valuable reviews from concerned citizens and is an efficient way to learn from others' experiences. Though opinions can be biased, common traits both positive and negative can become apparent through the reviews and assist you in your decisions.

Utilize Insurance Benefits
Most companies offer great health and dental plans for employees and their families. How many of us take full advantage of it? Not many. Ensure that you utilize the benefits available to you. From visiting the dentist to the masseuse or the chiropractor, why leave anything out? Early detection of the origin of back aches or joint issues can prevent significant deterioration and prove to be a major asset in life. Find time for these little activities and see the difference they can make.

Workout and Meditate
The importance of being physically and mentally active is no secret. I personally love the idea of being fit yet absolutely dread the treadmill. From having no time for it to a thousand other excuses, I’ve got it all. Though at the end of the day, the only thing I’ve learned from all of this is the fact that there is no escape; it’s something you just have to do.
The only solution is to make exercising and relaxing the mind a part of your daily routine in such a way that you don’t get a chance to second guess yourself. It’s like brushing your teeth; you don’t contemplate every morning if you feel like brushing today, or if you have the time to, you simply do it. Here are some resources to consider:
How to Turn Exercise Into Something You Love
How to Get Fit When You're a Couch Potato
7 Harsh Truths that Will Improve Your Health
How To Shape Your Lifestyle to Improve Your Fitness
Meditation Techniques for the Busy or Impatient

Listen to yourself
Our body is capable of treating itself to a very large extent. Have a cold or a tummy ache? Pay attention to the signs your body gives you; it may want you to slow down or avoid certain kind of foods. Though you may be tempted to take a pain killer to numb the pain and get on with your busy schedule, realize that it’s not the finest solution. How about trying some natural remedies? Why deal with the side effects of fancy medications when all you may really need is a little rest and a warn cup of tea?
Sometimes life gets so busy and confusing that we are unable to pinpoint what takes up all our time and drains us of our enthusiasm. Though such phases are inevitable, be certain that they are temporary and you need to give yourself the time and respect you deserve. Striving towards creating a balanced life is the key, but it cannot happen if you overlook yourself. Great moments in life will not feel as great if the back ache is on your mind, and the last thing you want is to slow down too early, just to see your life fly by in front of you.

7 Timeless Tips That Will Supercharge Your Body, Mind, And Soul

2011-02-14T12:44:00.001-08:00

Meaning, purpose, fulfillment, and happiness are essential ingredients in our lives.
Sometimes getting more of them can seem impossible. We’re plagued by the uncertainty of the future, and we have no idea what our purpose is.
Those are big questions that cannot be answered in the blink of an eye, and today instead of focusing on them, we’ll look at seven simple ways that will improve your body, mind, and soul.
And we both know that the better you feel, the better you can follow your intuition and eventually find your true purpose.
It all adds up.
Drink Water
A no-brainer, right? Still most people don’t drink enough water, and it can’t be just any kind of water. Did you know that the tap water in many of the western countries is filled with chemicals and even drugs in some cases? Here’s just one example.
You can buy a simple water filter, or get your water from a spring.
I could tell you to drink 8 glasses a day, but a simpler solution would be to just have water with you as much as possible and sip it throughout the day whenever you're thirsty.

Eliminate Sugar
Sugar hides in almost everything that comes in a package, and if it doesn’t contain sugar, it most likely contains additives and sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame-k, and so on.
The best way to avoid sugar is to eat a natural diet consisting of organic meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and berries.
Try going without processed foods for even a week and I guarantee that you will notice a difference.

Gluten-Intolerant?
Gluten is commonly found in wheat, and while many have to avoid gluten altogether, some don’t notice it enough to see that there’s a problem.
The solution?
Go gluten-free on top of eliminating processed foods and supercharge your energy, sleep, and everything else that matters. In order to get rid of gluten, you have to eliminate breads, grains, potatoes, flours, and pasta, just to name a few.

Mini-Exercises
I personally love going to the gym and giving my muscles panic attacks.
But sometimes you just don’t have time. That doesn’t have to stop you from getting exercise in. You can easily do squats, push-ups, and variations of crunches almost anywhere at any time.

Breathe
Work needs to get done, kids need to get shuttled (if you have them), and stuff needs to get read.
It’s easy to forget to breathe amidst all this chaos around us. A simple meditation routine has been proven to lower to reduce stress and increase happiness.
And it never hurts taking a time-out and just being.

Socialize
What are we all looking for deep down? For me it always comes down to connections, relationships, and love—as cheesy as it may sound. Life isn’t worth living alone, and we humans are social beings. We belong in tribes and groups.

Release
We worry, we fear, and we scare ourselves to death.
You might get annoyed at your roommate, or perhaps an avalanche of little things turns your day upside down, which leads to you not being the most agreeable person at the end of the day.
We all have problems, and when we get rid of one problem, another one seems to pop up. That’s the way our brain works. It needs problems to solve. If they don’t exist, it will make them up.
A much easier way to live is to let things go. Breathe and realize that you don’t have to live through the insanity that is your mind, if you don’t want to.
What say you? What’s your favorite tip for improving your body, mind, and/or soul?

How To Stay Motivated When You Hate Your Job

2011-02-14T12:37:00.001-08:00

Let's be honest, work for the most part, sucks. Even if you are part of the 20% of Americans who actually truly enjoy what they are doing, chances are likely that you would rather be doing something else.
Job satisfaction rates are horrendous and one of the reasons is that people are slowly starting to realize that there is a better way to live. We are wising up to the fact that we don't NEED to work a crappy job and just grind out a living.
There is so much opportunity for anyone willing to take control of their life and commit to living a passionate life.
Is it that simple? I believe it is. Is it easy? Of course not.

Working The Rat Race
hat is it that millions of people wake up unhappy knowing that they have to go to a job they hate? There are a number of reasons including:
Fear of failure
Fear of success
Lack of initiative
No clear goals
Apathetic towards life
Willingness to accept whatever they have
All of the above reasons are garbage. There is no reason for anyone to fall victim to these things. Yet, we do it all the time.
What ends up happening is that we find a job that looks acceptable and get stuck working in it for years. Most of us won't take the time to find something better and will just drift through life with a sub par job.
The end result is having a job we hate. Now, we can choose to quit and find another job or we can choose to suffer through it. Most of us choose the latter.
Staying Motivated When You Hate Your Job
I am speaking from personal experience here. I have lost all interest in my job and would rather go dig holes in the ground all day. Unfortunately, financial obligations will not afford me the luxury of leaving my job right now.
So, I have had to find ways of keeping myself motivated enough to keep my job and perform it well enough to provide quality work. Not an easy task when my days are spent thinking of leaving.
If you have found yourself in a similar spot, here are 5 ideas to keep you motivated (at least motivated enough not to get you fired!)
Know Your Future.
If you have a clear understanding of where you want to be in 1,3, or even 5 years, then your job will become much more tolerable.
Having something to look forward to can mean the difference between hopelessness and determination. Make sure you choose determination!

Do not take your loathsome job home with you.
The sooner you can forget about your job the better. Far too often, and I'm guilty of this too, we take our bad attitudes home for the family to enjoy.
Well, they don't. If you have children, then it's especially important to leave your misery behind. Our kids do not need to learn that a job equals unhappiness from us.

Enjoy your passions.
If you're lucky enough to know what really makes you happy, you need to go do it! Even if it's for an hour each week, you have to.
I'm not talking about a hobby here or shopping at the mall, I'm talking about spending time doing something you love.
Why is this so important? Because it just might keep you from snapping and doing something stupid like bitch slapping your boss and quitting.
If you were in the financial position to quit, you probably already would have, so don't go and get yourself canned.

Be better than your job.
If your job sucks and you allow yourself to think that you suck too, then you're sunk. Do not allow yourself to be a byproduct of a miserable job.
Know in your mind that this job is simply a means to an end and that some day you will be doing something better. Also know that you are not your job. You just work there. Don't confuse the two.

Plan for your release date.
I would imagine that someone serving a long prison sentence would spend an enormous amount of time planning for their release date.
What they're going to do, how they're going to do it, and how it is all going to go down, are all things that will probably be consuming their thoughts each day.
A miserable job can feel a lot like a prison sentence. While we are not trapped per se, we can often feel like we are because of things like a poor economy, high unemployment, and too many financial obligations.
Planning for the day you can walk away from your job and do something else should be something you spend a lot of time thinking about. Without a plan, you might just end up working another job just like the one you quit.

Keep It Together
Knowing you have to go to work tomorrow and waste another day of your life is an awful feeling. Doing this for an extended period of time can lead to problems with depression, substance abuse, and marital issues.
You need to keep it together! For your sake if nothing else. If you have a family that depends on you, please don't let your job become interfere with your quality of life at home.
Find a way to make your job tolerable until you're ready to move on with your life.
My question to all of you is this: What if we actually took the time to figure out what we really wanted to do with our lives and then did it? Imagine that...

Why People Complain and What We Can Do About It

2010-10-25T18:07:00.001-07:00

Know any chronic complainers? You may want to pass this on to them ... and if it's you, read on.
I think it's natural for people to complain. Everyday we're faced with a lot of reasons to complain: we're not tall enough, we don't have the latest and greatest, it's too hot, it's too cold, they get everything handed to them, they shouldn't be doing this they should be doing that, etc.
Having the occasional complaint is fine. To expect a life without complaining (by you or others) is unrealistic.
Why we complain and what we can do about it

Life's not fair.
I think most of us complain because we feel things are unfair and out of our control. Why do they have so much when I have nothing? I've worked just as hard, saved harder and I still don't have as much to show for it. It's just not fair.

Genuinely unhappy.
Some people are just genuinely unhappy. They can't find joy in any aspect of their life. Genuinely unhappy people take to complaining to express their dissatisfaction with their life and in many situations it's used as a coping mechanism as well.

Jealousy
Most times people won't admit to this as it's a rather unbecoming trait. They may also not admit to it because they truly don't recognize it as jealousy. This ties in with the first point of life not being fair. The emotion that can come out of that is jealousy. When you wish you had the new car, or the new job or the high salary there is a tendency to complain, either that the other people are getting this or that you're not.

Lack of empathy.
A lot of times we complain because we lack empathy for others. Think about this: You complain that someone isn't doing something "right", they should be doing it this way because that's what we would do if we were in that position. When we lack empathy we aren't able to fully put ourself in the other persons place. We don't know the thoughts going through their head or what other complexities they are facing in their lives at that moment.
What can we do about it?
Think before we speak.
Before blurting out a complaint really give some thought to what you're going to say. Is it a complaint for the sake of complaining? Are you really unhappy with your situation? Is there any benefit to expressing this view point? If you are looking for insight from the person you're speaking with then by all means go for it. If you're mentioning it to spark a debate or initiate a conversation, OK. Just be aware of what you're saying and why you're saying it and also be mindful of the person you're speaking with. Are they rolling their eyes? ;)

Have a plan.
I find it quite irritating when people complain about their job or people they work with or how they're bored with whatever it is they're doing at the moment. I find it even more irritating when people have no answer to the question "and what are you doing about it?" Some people have given it some thought and others just stare blankly as if to say "There's something I can do?" If you're unhappy with any situation make a plan on how you can change it. How are you going to take control and make your situation better? You can brush up your resume and start applying to new jobs. Look at how you can possibly move within the company you're in now. Can you go back to school or get specific training for what you'd like to do?
Don't just moan about it do something!

Change your perspective.
Maybe you're complaining because you lack empathy for someone. Change your perspective and really put yourself in their shoes (and not just in one particular situation, but overall). Your thoughts, expectations and judgments may change and you may see the other person in a better light and not complain so much about how they're handling things.
A change in perspective could also be helpful when we're complaining about what we don't have or how we don't measure up. First of all we shouldn't spend so much time comparing ourselves to others in the first place but if you do why is always with people who have more? Why not compare with those who aren't as fortunate as you. Look around you and really see what you have. There are a lot of people who would love to be in your position. Which leads me to my final point ...

Be grateful.
Be grateful for what you have and for what others have. Life isn't a race to see who can collect the most money, cars or other shiny objects. Ever told anyone to mind their own business? Well same goes for you. Focus on you and what makes you happy and how you can add value to your own life. Show appreciation for all that you currently have and for what you've been blessed with. Don't worry about all the other people odds are they're looking at you and wishing for something you have and that you may even be taking for granted.
When we complain it's usually because we're so focused on what we're lacking in certain aspects of our lives. The easiest way to curb our own complaining is to focus on the positive and go with the flow.
Do you have any other ideas on why we tend to complain and what we can do about it to make it stop?

9 Ways to Never Be Late Again

2010-08-25T15:06:00.001-07:00

There are three things that remind me of my father’s car: the Beach Boys, ChapStick, and a clock that is intentionally ten minutes fast. My father is one of those people who lives in his own time zone: Jeff Standard Time, sandwiched somewhere between Greenwich Mean and Mountain.
I used to tease my father for setting his clocks fast to try (and rarely succeed) at fooling himself into punctuality. Now I find myself doing the same thing. I know my alarm clock is set ten minutes fast, but there’s some glimmer of hope that in the fog between sleep and wakefulness, I’ll read the blaring red numbers, forget that I’m playing games with myself, jump out of bed, and get the proverbial early-bird worm.
Excuses, Excuses
Why are some of us chronically late while others are predictably punctual? A lot of reasons. We learn it from our parents. (Thanks, Dad.) We learn it from our culture. (In some countries, like Ecuador and Peru, tardiness is so culturally ingrained that the governments have initiated public punctuality campaigns.) We are better or worse at quantifying measurements like time. (I’m also hopeless when it comes to estimating distance or how many people were at a party. Jelly beans in a jar? Forget it.) We value and perceive time differently. (I like to think of it as a jumping-off point for negotiations.) We want or don’t want attention. We’re focused or easily distracted. We try to do too much. We are thrilled or repelled by the anxiety of running late.
There are myriad reasons. There are also myriad excuses.
Do Something About It
When I lived in New York, I could blame my tardiness on the city. There seemed to be a thousand and one obstacles to getting anywhere on time in Manhattan: subway maintenance, visiting dignitaries, spilled coffee, construction, street musicians, bagels, man on the tracks. I readily offered these excuses as I plopped down ten, fifteen, even thirty minutes late to work or a drink with a friend. “You would never believe the traffic on Broadway,” I’d sigh. The city was conspiring against me, and like Alice’s White Rabbit, I was perpetually late for a very important date.
Recently, I moved from New York to a smaller city, where I have a car and more control over my schedule—which means fewer available excuses. I also have a friend who has redefined the word “late” (she has a personal record of three hours) and has put me on the other side of the fence. I’ve made some progress. And as they say on TV, now so can you! Before you give up and move to Peru, try some of these strategies for making yourself more punctual:
The first step is acceptance. Admit you have a problem and enlist help.
Surround yourself with clocks (not just the one on your cell phone).
Bring something to read or occupy you, so if you arrive early, you don’t feel like you’re “wasting time.”
Give yourself a handicap. If you’re a bad estimator, double the time you think it will take to get there.
If you’ve never been where you’re going, look up directions beforehand (not at the time you’re supposed to be walking out the door).
Before you accept invitations for engagements, ask yourself if you really can, or want to, attend. If you’re hesitant, perhaps it’s better to politely decline than rudely arrive late.
Don’t try to do too much. Keep a detailed schedule and don’t be distracted by tasks not on it.
Fine yourself a dollar (to your piggy bank) for every minute you’re late.
Hypnosis. Hey, it can’t hurt, right?
And for those of you who always arrive on the dot (well done), but are frustrated by your unfashionably late friends and colleagues, try these tips:
Calmly let the person know you’re irritated.
Impose some kind of consequence, playfully at first. For example, if your friend is late for a coffee date, she buys.
Give her a taste of her own medicine. On your next meeting, show up as late as she was the last time.
Time is not money for everyone, but it is a resource. If you waste someone’s, they can’t get it back. Punctuality is about consideration, and it’s something I’m working on. I’ll keep you posted, but now I’ve gotta run. I’m late.

Inner Health And Outer Beauty Advice - Perfumes

2010-07-04T12:43:00.000-07:00

Taking care of all your perfumes and colognes requires capping tightly and keeping them out of direct sunlight – at the same time they don't have to be kept cold, but a cool, dark place helps it last longer.

Also it’s a bad idea to save up several different perfumes for later, because the scent will change over time so use it when you get it!

Only apply perfume on your skin, and on your pulse points; because anywhere else, it won't last (and won't be very noticeable). Also don't use any behind your ears, and when you put it on your wrists, don't rub them together - this will alter the scent.

Natural Collagen Production.

2010-01-18T11:18:00.000-08:00

Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in animals and the most abundant protein in mammals, making up about 25% of the total protein content. It is one of the long, fibrous structural proteins whose functions are quite different from those of globular proteins such as enzymes; tough bundles of collagen called collagen fibers are a major component of the extracellular matrix that supports most tissues and gives cells structure from the outside, but collagen is also found inside certain cells.

Collagen has great tensile strength, and is the main component of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bone and teeth. Along with soft keratin, it is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, and its degradation leads to wrinkles that accompany aging. It strengthens blood vessels and plays a role in tissue development. It is present in the cornea and lens of the eye in crystalline form. It is also used in cosmetic surgery and burns surgery.

Three Easy Skin Care Tips For Winter

2010-01-14T09:15:00.000-08:00

As those winter winds begin to blow, most of us tend to stay inside as much as possible.
While it may be warm inside of your home, it isn’t necessarily the best atmosphere for your skin.

There are lots of things inside of your house during
the winter months that can lead to dry skin. What’s wrong with dry skin? When your skin is dry, it tends to age quickly.

So, the best anti-aging method is to make sure that skin remains moisturized.
Of course, this is difficult during the wintertime unless you know about a few
things that will turn your home into a moisture drenched heaven.

One experiment conducted with a decoction of roasted ground cacao beans in boiling water produced an excitement of the nervous system similar to that caused by black coffee and an excited state of circulation, demonstrated by an accelerated pulse. Notably, when the same decoction was made with raw, unroasted cacao beans neither effect was noticeable.

Berry Radical - Why Did You Make A Powder Instead Of A Juice?

2009-12-01T07:53:00.000-08:00

By utilising raw, freeze-dried powders we have concentrated all the nutrition from the fruits and berries into a much more potent,nutrient dense form.

Which is why 1 box of berry radical is equivalent to 12 bottles of mangosteen juice 17 bottles of goji juice and 41 bottles of noni juice,in terms of antioxidant capacity.

Our organic fruit and berry powders are highly concentrated foods, with all the nutrients and enzymes in the fresh fruit. Only water has been removed.

Gram for gram, powders are far more potent and concentrated than waterdown juices.

Many fruits are more than 90 percent water, which mean you get at least 10 times the nutrients in a freeze-dried fruit than the fresh fruit or a rehydrated juice.

Powders do not require the preservatives that juices do.

The freeze drying process does not kill the enzymes. It puts them in a state of suspended animation.

They are brought back to life by adding the Berry Radical to liquid.

Berry Radical - Why Plants Contain Antioxidants?

2009-11-30T10:21:00.000-08:00

Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants convert light energy from the sun into stored physical energy. Photosynthesis exposes plants to a massive number of free radicals. Plants produce antioxidants to protect themselves from damage by these free radicals.

Antioxidant plant pigments, primarily carotenoids and polyphenols that are responsible for the bright colours of many orange, red, blue and purple fruits,berries and algae, provide most of this protection.

Research has shown that human ingestion of these plant-based antioxidants result in similar protection.
Research also shows that antioxidants work synergistically(where the combined effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects) and are far more effective when a spectrum of antioxidants are ingested, rather that individual isolated compounds.

Berry Radical Frequently Asked Questions.

2009-11-23T10:23:00.000-08:00

What Are Free Radicals And Why Do We Need Antioxidants?

Oxidation occurs when free radicals (highly reactive, high-energy particles) ricochet wildly throughout the body and damage cells. Free radicals can be produced within the body by natural biological processes or introduced from outside via tobacco smoke, toxins, pollutants and sub-optimal eating habits. Free radicals are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer,cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, and age-related diseases.

Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables help to neutralise free radicals in our bodies.
Australian’s are encouraged to eat 7 serves of fruit and vegetables a day. Specifically, 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables each day. Many people struggle to eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables each day. Within Australia, only 14% of men and 21% of women report eating the recommended four or more servings of vegetables daily.

Does Your Skin Absorb Makeup?

2009-11-20T10:09:00.000-08:00

Women all across the world use makeup on a daily basis to try and look their best. Most medicine cabinets inside a female’s domain are filled to the brim with lots and lots of cosmetics. How many women use skincare products that are past their "best by" date? How much makeup does the average woman use in one year? Does the skin absorb all of these chemicals?

How Much Makeup?
The average female uses up to 20 different skincare products per day (according to a recent study). This adds up to a phenomenal amount of makeup and skincare product use per year. This is particularly interesting due to the fact that most of these products contain a large helping of chemicals.

Is Your Skin Sensitive?

2009-11-16T10:01:00.000-08:00

If you have sensitive skin then you probably know how hard it is to find proper skincare products. Sensitive skin requires a lot more care than regular skin does. The first step towards finding the right sensitive skincare products is to know whether or not you actually have sensitive skin at all.

Is Your Skin Sensitive?

Sensitive skin is easy to spot based upon a number of factors. If your skin changes according to the environment; if your skin changes according to the seasons; and if your skin changes according to your moods, then you probably have sensitive skin.

Another way to tell if your skin is sensitive is to test out new products. If your skin breaks into a rash when you use a new product, then your skin is probably sensitive. Those with eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis are also considered sensitive skin types.

Olive

2009-10-28T09:32:00.000-07:00

Extract from the pulp of fresh organically grown olives is the source of antioxidant polyphenols. Hydroxytyrosol is the natural olive polyphenol with the maximum level of free radical protection activity ever reported for any natural antioxidant compound!

At the same time as the olive has been in a spotlight for its oil, until now the olive water, or juice, has been a simple by product of olive production. In spite of everything, the olive is only 15-20% oil and more than 50% juice. So what have we been dumping? It's simple olive polyphenols, mainly hydroxytyrosol, an extremely effective and protective antioxidant.

Actually, polyphenols are much more widespread in the olive juice than in the oil. Yet it is these unique polyphenols that are considered accountable for extra virgin olive oil’s health benefits. Imagine the antioxidant ability of olive juice with up to 300 times more polyphenols than the oil!

High ORAC Antioxidants Superfoods And Dietary Supplements.

2009-10-08T23:00:00.000-07:00

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a standardised measurement of the full antioxidant power of a substance.

Antioxidant strength is the ability to deactivate oxygen free radicals. Therefore, the more free radicals a matter can absorb, the higher its ORAC score. Experts suggest that we eat around 5000 ORAC units per day to considerably influence antioxidant action in the body and decrease free radical harm.

Approximately 500 ORAC units you may get from one serving (half a cup) of fruits or vegetables.

And If you’re not consuming at least 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, you’re not reaching the suggested quantity of ORAC units to wipe up the injury caused by free radicals in your body each day.

The ORAC score of 1 gram of Berry Radical is 1448. So, one 5g sachet of Berry Radical contains over 7000 ORAC units!One 150g of Berry Radical box contains over 217,000 ORAC units. Below is the published data of the ORAC score of some high antioxidant Superfoods and dietary supplements:

SuperFoods/Supplements ORAC Score / Serving

Blueberries 2400 100g
Strawberries 1540 100g

Raw Cacao (Chocolate!)

Matured and harvested ethically and sustainably in Ecuador, raw cacao is full of the antioxidants polyphenols, catechin, epicatechin and gallic acid. Epicatechin and its metabolites have been selected as providing cacao’s vasodilatation benefits, which assists in protecting against thrombosis formation and hypertension. Cacao supplies important protection to cardiovascular health, and has been recognized to provide more than 21 times the free radical protection of green tea.

Cacao and Magnesium Cacao is believed to be the most important source of magnesium of any ordinary food. Magnesium is one of the most essential minerals in the body and is the number one mineral that helps and supports healthy heart performance. It is fundamental for over 300 enzyme systems in the body – more than iron and zinc combined, yet nearly 70% of the population is deficient in magnesium.

Studies have shown magnesium may deliver a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, asthma, in PMS, abdominal bloating, breast pain, headaches, fatigues, fluid retention, mood swings, insomnia and anxiety, osteoporosis, constipation. Helps relieve tension headaches, muscle tension, and associated pain and cramps. Low magnesium levels have also been found in chronic migraine sufferers.

Good Skin Moisturizer.

2009-09-23T10:12:00.000-07:00

Are You Using A Good Moisturizer?

How much do you know about your moisturizer? There are literally hundreds of moisturizers on the market, and all of them claim to be special, but how do you know which one to choose? There’s no doubt about the fact that you need to moisturize your skin in order to keep it looking young and healthy...though choosing the right moisturizer is a different story altogether.

What’s Inside?

Most moisturizers contain humectants. Humectants actually take water from the dermis and leave that water in the epidermis. Sometimes, humectants can also take water from the atmosphere.
In many ways, humectants are natural moisturizers.

Some moisturizers also contain petroleum. Petroleum will create a desired texture within a moisturizer. Often, petroleum is the number one reason why a moisturizer doesn’t have a greasy feel. Of course, there are numerous debates as to whether or not petroleum is actually good for your skin.

Anti-Aging Antioxidants.

2009-08-24T11:09:00.000-07:00

You probably keep hearing about antioxidants,
but what do they do?

As the name might suggest, they clear out oxidants -
toxins that are released whenever something burns,
such as smoking a cigarette or the body burning off
food to provide energy.

These can be cancelled out with foods like carrots,
tomatoes, oranges, broccoli, nuts, and fish. All of
these contain antioxidants, thus decreasing the among
of cell damage caused by oxidants in the system.

Fish Derived Collagen Could Help Relieve Sensitive Skin, Study.

2009-07-08T07:35:00.000-07:00

By Katie Bird, 07-Jul-2009

An oligosaccharide and a fish derived collagen could provide relief for sufferers of sensitive skin, according to scientists from Rome, Italy.

Topical application of gluco-oligosaccharide (G-OS) and collagen tripeptide F (CTP-F) can improve skin smoothness, hydration, pH and the skin’s barrier function in sensitive skin sufferers, the study claims.

According to the study, published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, the G-OS is a water soluble oligosaccharide similar to those found in breast milk that help protect newborns from infection.

These oligosaccharides help protect from infection without having bactericidal effects and therefore do not induce bacterial resistance, wrote the researchers led by Enzo Berardesca at the San Gallicano Dermatological Institute.

They work by stopping the bacteria from adhering to the cell wall, one of the first steps in mounting an infection and appear to act on Staphylococcus aureus – a bacteria found in the majority of patients who suffer from atopic dermatitis and is thought to be related to skin inflammation.

CTP-F in the formulation was derived from fish skin and has been shown, according to the study, to be able to stimulate human fibroblast collagen production after topical application.

Twenty female volunteers applied a lotion and a milk containing G-OS and CTP-F to the face morning and evening respectively. Treatment continued for a four week period and a foaming face wash containing the same ingredients was used if and when necessary.

Another twenty female volunteers served as a control group using the placebo products. Allocation to the groups was random.

The researchers then tested a number of parameters including skin pH, skin volume and roughness and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), comparing the placebo group to those using the treatment formulation.

A significant decrease in skin volume was seen in the treatment group as was skin roughness, which the researchers claimed reflected an improvement of the surface homogeneity of the skin.

In addition, barrier function measured by TEWL was significantly reduced in the treatment group.

However, no significant difference was found between the active and placebo groups in the number of staphylococcus colonies, although there was a slight increase in the number in the placebo group.

According to the researchers, the fact that the volunteers chosen had sensitive skin and not atopic dermatitis could explain the relatively normal levels of bacterial colonies in both treatment and placebo groups.

Skin pH was also stabilised in the treatment group which is crucial for maintaining good skin barrier function, the study claimed.

According to the researchers, this research illustrates that normalization of the skin barrier properties and stratum corneum moisturization by a treatment such as this can help improve the symptoms of sensitive skin.

What does the "SPF" in sunscreen mean anyway?

2009-07-06T10:32:00.000-07:00

"SPF" stands for Sun Protection Factor. It applies only to ultraviolet
radiation.
Basically, the SPF is a multiple of how much time you can stay
in the sun without burning your skin.

For instance, if you burn without any sunscreen in 10 minutes,
a sunscreen with an SPF 15 would allow you to stay in the sun for
150 minutes without burning.

If you need to fix up your lipstick but
can't find a mirror, try this: using one
finger from your free hand as a guide,
position the tip of your lipstick at the
center of the "bow" of your mouth.
Tracing the edge of your lips with that
finger, draw a half-heart shape from the
center to the edge of your mouth on both sides.

Then, using that same finger, trace the outside
of your lower lip while applying the lipstick
from the center. Don't rub your lips together -
that will just smear those nice even lines!

Skin Care - What Does Your Skin Absorb?

Have you ever thought about the things that your skin absorbs?
While it may seem as though your skin is tough, it’s actually
quite delicate. How delicate? Your skin will take in a number
of things during any regular day.

For example, your skin will absorb vitamins from the sun;
chemicals; and anything else that it comes in contact with.
The scary part isn’t knowing that your skin is an absorbent
magnet—the scary part is knowing that what your skin absorbs
will wind up in your blood stream. That’s right – anything
that your skin takes in will eventually wind up mixed with
your blood.
