MUST READ Life Changing Article: Principles Of The Eagle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

These principles are based on a documentary of the Eagles on Discovery Channel. If you read this, peruse it deeply and apply these principles to your life, I am certain your life will take a new turn. 

PRINCIPLE 1 

Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or other small birds. No other bird can go to the height of the eagle. Stay away from sparrows and ravens. Eagles fly with Eagles. Who are you flying with and at what altitude?

PRINCIPLE 2

Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five kilometers away. When an eagle sites his prey, he narrows his focus on it and set out to get it. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed.

PRINCIPLE 3

Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not. Be careful with what you feed your eyes, ears  and mind with especially negativities. Steer clear of outdated and old information... Always do your research well.

Few ways Parents Can Have a Healthy Relationship With Their Kids

Perhaps the worst thing a parent can hear from a grown up child is, “I want you out of my life. You’re toxic.” It’s a death sentence for the relationship, spelling a long period of estrangement if not a permanent break. It may be the healthiest decision for the child, but it is a heartbreaking one that carves a deep wound in both psyches, making the road to reconciliation arduous and uncertain. No parent is perfect. We’re all human, and we all make mistakes, including some whoppers. But there’s a difference between screwing up while providing healthy love and presiding over a psychologically damaging childhood that will necessitate a lifetime of healing. The steps outlined below are for concerned parents who want to do things right and are willing to examine themselves critically. They presuppose a healthy degree of self-awareness and the desire and ability to make positive changes. They do not address behavior caused by substance abuse or serious mental illness. And they are only one man’s opinion.

Step in with determination not to be right but to make things right between the two of you.

Are you REALLY more exhausted than your husband? It sparks endless marital rows – who’s working harder on less sleep? We wired up some couples to find out

Mandie and husband Nick with their children Honor (left) and Pearl (right). Mandie thinks she must be more tired than her husband because she's been up every night looking after their baby

The argument has been raging between married couples for generations. Who is the most tired? With sleep a valuable commodity in most relationships, particularly those with young children, it seems men and women will never agree.

The female claim to the ‘most exhausted’ crown was bolstered this week by research which revealed that, over a year, women get 15 days less sleep than they need, compared to the male deficit of ten days. To settle the argument, we challenged three couples to log their waking and sleeping hours using a Jawbone, an interactive wristband that monitors wearers’ steps taken and quality of sleep.

It also gives a figure for ‘total active time’ — moving and doing physical work, rather than sitting down. 

The couples:

Here, the couples say how hard they think they work before each takes the Jawbone test. The results may surprise you . . .

How a bad relationship can, quite literally, break your heart: Being trapped in a bad marriage 'increases risk of heart disease'

You might think years of being trapped in a bad marriage leads only to a messy divorce. 

But it can also quite literally break your heart, scientists believe.

A study found that people who have experienced decades of conflict with their spouse are more likely to develop heart disease than those in good marriages.

The finding was especially true for wives - possibly because women tend to internalise negative feelings more than men.

People in bad marriages are more likely to develop heart disease, a study found. The finding was especially true for wives - possibly because women tend to internalise negative feelings more than men (file pic)

It suggests that relationship counselling should be directed at older couples as well as those starting out on the marital journey, the U.S. researchers said.

Sociologist Hui Lui, from Michigan State University, U.S. said: 'Marriage counselling is focused largely on younger couples. But these results show that marital quality is just as important at older ages, even when the couple has been married 40 or 50 years.'

The findings back up previous research by Dr Lui, and other, which found people who are unhappy with their spouse could be at higher risk of depression, high blood pressure and even heart disease.

How true is this: On the verge of a break up? Blame your mother-in-law: Two thirds of divorcees say it was their mum who convinced them to end things

New research says family influence affects decision to divorce,Mothers had the greatest influence for both men and women.Six percent also say their children's feelings play a part 

When it comes to choosing to leave your spouse it seems that parental influence can have a huge input on the decision. In fact, new research shows that almost two thirds of divorcees say their mother was the one who helped them decide to break up.

Sixty three per cent said their families had a baring on their decision to split - but it was mothers on both sides who had the greatest influence.

One in ten said their siblings prompted them to end the marriage while six per cent said their children's feelings played a part in helping them make a decision.

Sometimes things just don't work out. According to statistics 42% of marriages currently end in divorce

But in many African tribes, traditions are more important than laws and circumcision is considered a rite of passage that marks their transition into womanhood so they can marry.  

How To Write A Thank You Note After Your Interview

No matter whether you’ve had a great interview, or one that could have gone a bit better, it’s always important to send the people who interviewed you a thank you note.

Not only is it polite, but sending a quick email keeps you on the hiring manager’s radar and might even give you the edge over another candidate who maybe didn’t send a note.
But where do you start when it comes to firing up your emails and sending over the thank you note? Well, these tips should give you a good idea!

1) Address The Interviewer Directly
The first and most vital rule of the thank you email is to make sure you address it to the person who interviewed you. You should already have their details or – if not – you can get them from the company’s HR team.
Make sure you send it to their personal email address, and if there was more than one person interviewing you, send a personalised email to each interviewer.
This personal touch shows that you’ve gone to the effort to get their email address and customise the note just for them.

2) Include Information Discussed At Interview
A thank you note should be kept quite short, but if there’s anything you wanted to follow-up on after the interview that was discussed, then now is the time to do it.
If there’s something you don’t think you explained particularly well, or a past project you wanted to show them more information about, then include these in your thank you email.
However, be aware that they are busy people, so keep whatever you want to explain or show them short and to-the-point.

Do You Know your Hepatitis B Status?

 

Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Infection with this virus can cause scarring of the liver, liver failure, liver cancer, and even death. You can even have hepatitis B and not know it! You won't have symptoms at all. Even if you do, they can make you feel like you have the flu. But as long as you have the virus, you can spread it to others. A mother who has the virus can pass it to her baby during delivery. Hence medical experts recommend that all pregnant women get tested for hepatitis B. 

 

Hepatitis B is spread through contact with the blood and body fluids of an infected person. It is spread by infected blood and other bodily fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions, and open sores. Just like Ebola, HIV. Do you know your Hepatitis B status, guys?

 

Have you ever dealt with someone who tested positive to Hepatitis B before? How did it go? Were there foods he/she avoided during treatment, food supplements he/she took? Can Hepatitis B be cured? I really hope everyone will join this discussion and we would all be sincere in our answers. 

Your comment today will save a life.

Eat lunch at your desk? You might not after this: Gross video shows how quickly germs travel from a loo seat to your mouth

You might look at your desk and think it looks pretty clean. 

But a gruesome new video shows how it could be riddled with invisible bacteria all the way from the bathroom - and is easily spread to your hands and mouth.

As one in four office workers fail to wash their hands after going to the loo, anything from the door to the keyboard and computer mouse is covered with millions of bacteria.

In order to avoid getting ill, experts have revealed the best ways to try and remain as germ-free as possible.

Touching the keyboard and then later eating lunch transfers the bacteria from the hands to the mouth 

Flushing the loo without putting the seat down causes a 'sneeze effect', in which bacteria is sprayed all over the cubicle and can cover surfaces as far as 20 feet away

What is Marburg, the Ebola-like virus that killed a health-care worker in Uganda?

A 30-year-old hospital technician died of the Marburg virus this weekend in Uganda, health officials there announced Sunday. Marburg, like Ebola, is a hemorrhagic fever. It's rare but severe.

According to NBC's Monday report, officials in Uganda have quarantined about 80 people who came into contact with the victim, one of whom — the man's brother — has developed the early symptoms of the disease. Sixty of those quarantined are health-care workers.

On Tuesday, Uganda's Ministry of Health said in an emailed statement that testing on 11 potential cases of Marburg came back negative, including that of the victim's brother. Those who still show symptoms similar to Marburg three days from now will be re-tested at that time, the ministry added.

Do you have a close relationship with your mother? If not, you’re more likely to have problems bonding with your own baby

Women with lower levels of 'love hormone' are more likely to have had a dysfunctional relationship with their mother

• Those women tend to experience negative feelings towards their own babies

If you had a dysfunctional relationship with your mother it could mean you are more likely to have problems bonding with your own babies.

Lower levels of the 'love hormone' oxytocin have been found in women who are not close with their own mother, a report suggests.  

Wife's Happiness is More Crucial to Marital Success Than Husband's, Study Finds

Turns out, the old adage “happy wife, happy life” is spot on. When a woman is happily married, her husband’s overall life satisfaction gets a boost, regardless of how he feels about their union, according to a new Rutgers University study, published in the October issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family.

The researchers analyzed the marital quality and general well-being of 394 couples who’d been married, on average, for 39 years. (To be included, both spouses had to be at least 50 years old, and one at least 60.) Although overall life satisfaction didn’t significantly differ by gender, the men did tend to report slightly higher marital happiness than their wives did.

Good news from Ebola: How Ebola patients survived- Expert

Following the recovery and discharge of the first Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) patient from the isolation centre at the Mainland Hospital in Lagos, facts have emerged as to how the patients are recovering.

Meanwhile, more patients undergoing medical treatment at the centre may be discharged this week, investigations revealed.
Experts, who commented on the development, said although 60-90 per cent of people infected with the Ebola virus die, some people do recover from infection.
“Doctors don’t know for certain who will survive Ebola, and there is no specific treatment or cure for the disease. But studies suggest there are some biological markers linked with a higher chance of surviving Ebola,” the experts say.

Pregnant women who drink just two cups of coffee a day could be putting their babies at risk of leukaemia.

A major study has found that their babies  are up to 60 per cent more likely to develop the disease during childhood.

Academics say the Government should issue warnings to pregnant women to limit their coffee intake just as they are told to cut back on alcohol and stop smoking.

Stress at work 'raises diabetes risk by 45%: Strain a factor even among the slim

Overdoing it at work is bound to make you tired, grumpy and stressed.

But research suggests it could also significantly increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes – even if you’re not overweight.

A major study has found that those under the most strain at work are 45 per cent more likely to fall ill with the condition, which increases the risk of heart disease, strokes, blindness  and amputations.

Overdoing it at work can significantly increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, even if you're not overweight, a study has found

The study, from the Institute of Epidemiology in Munich, followed 5,337 men and women aged between 29 and 66 who were in full-time work            

Over a 12-year period, nearly 300 of the subjects – who were previously healthy – developed type 2 diabetes. As well as measuring body mass index (BMI) and family medical history, researchers quizzed volunteers on their stress levels at work. High job strain was defined as being faced with huge demands but having little control over how things are done.

A study found that just over 30 minutes of walking a day can cut the chances of breast cancer in over 50s

Older women who exercise can slash 10 per cent off their risk of breast cancer – and it’s never too late to start, according to a study.

It shows just over 30 minutes of walking a day can cut the chances of breast cancer in women over 50.

Importantly, researchers found the reduced risk only in women who had undertaken exercise in the last four years. Exercising when younger, or more than four years earlier, doesn’t count, according to the team from France.

They analysed data from questionnaires completed by 59,308 postmenopausal women enrolled on the French arm of an ongoing European investigation into cancer and nutrition.

Bedroom Affair For Couples:Why Size Really Matter

Bedroom Affair For Couples

The ‘size does not matter’ anthem seems to be coming mostly from men. Have the recipients (ladies) concurred that the ‘size’ (of a man’s instrument) does not matter to them, considering the fact that a lot of studies have shown that women feel fulfilled when ‘it’ is good sized?

If we have to come right down to the ‘size’ argument, then we will need to go by the countless researches, which have all shown that size does indeed matter (sorry, guys) – much as I believe that a man’s instrument is only one (sometimes) small contributor to manly allure, as far as most women are concerned.

Women are emotional beings; it is not likely that a woman will be turned on by the size of your ‘something’ alone, your ‘conduct’ to a woman can also turn her on and that is the kind of ‘turn on’ that every man should be aiming for – with his woman.

You are in trouble if a woman’s business with you is just about the size of your ‘john thomas’ because there will always be ‘better sized’ ones.

Still on Ebola: Ebola virus: Now the threat is real

Barely two weeks after the deadly Ebola Virus Disease claimed its first victim in Nigeria – a Liberian known as Patrick Sawyer, who died in a private hospital at the Obalende area of Lagos –another victim has tested positive to it.

The Health Minister, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, confirmed this on Monday, sending waves of fear through the polity.

Reports said the minister, while breaking the news to journalists in Abuja, described the latest victim as one of the doctors who quarantined and treated Sawyer at the private hospital before he died about a week later.

Although the doctor’s identity was still unknown as at 8pm press time on Monday, the development has further deepened the fear of the Ebola virus and its possible spread among the millions of people resident in Lagos State and beyond. The logic of the scare is simple: If doctors, to whom ordinary people would run, are that helpless, what will be the fate of patients?

Unfortunately, many believe, the Federal Government was not proactive enough. They believe that ever before the deadly incursion of the virus from Liberia, the government ought to have acted decisively since reports of Ebola-inflicted deaths were spread in neighbouring countries. One of the options should have been closing some of the country’s borders. But even until now, such a measure has not been taken.

Why Ebola differs from other viruses

Prevention is by hygiene!

Ebola differ

The Ebola Virus Disease is the enemy knocking at the door of many West African countries and its effects are fast spreading.

Unlike other viruses, such as the Hepatitis A, B,C, which can stay in the body fluids of an infected person for 15 years without any symptoms, the Ebola virus, which symptoms include bleeding from the mouth and anus, can kill its victims within days .

A professor of Epidemiology and Community Health Sci­ence, University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Tanimola Akande, describes the Ebola virus, which is ravaging Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia and has killed a nurse in Nigeria, as the biggest health challenge facing the sub region at present.

Akande says that its mode of transmission is a major reason why it is deadlier than most viruses.

He says, “That Ebola has no cure is not the reason why it is deadly.HIV also has no cure, yet it does not kill all its victims, if it is properly managed. Ebola is deadlier because it is easy to contract; it is in all the body fluids of an infected individual as its infection can be through saliva, blood, sweat, sperm, excreta, body tissue. It can also be contracted by touching the surface an infected person has touched.”

Some thing for the guys :7 Sleep Tips Just for Men

Trying to count sheep and it just isn’t doing the trick when it comes to catching some shuteye? Sometimes men and women are affected differently by sleep and for men, it’s important to take a step back and figure out what to do to beat the bedtime blues.

 Here are 7 sleep tips just for men.

Sex
Women might like a good cuddle sesh or chat after a romp in the sack, but a lot of times men like to doze off. Why not, sex is relaxing, right? Orgasms release endorphins and can be key in ushering in peace and calm for easy sleep.

More Healthy Sleep Tips for Women

Did you know that men and women have different sleep experiences? Research shows that women report more sleep disorders than men. Reports documented women claiming to have frequent sleepless nights or waking up feeling tired and groggy. Below are some healthy sleep tips to ensure women get their beauty sleep.



















Black Out the Room
Light disturbs sleep and some women are more sensitive to light than men. If you find it hard to walk around without sun glasses on a sunny day than you are most likely more sensitive toward light. Purchase black out drapes or an eye mask to keep the room dark and lightless.

Relax in a Warm Bath
Warm water combined with Epsom salt relaxes the muscular system, which is ideal prior to bed. After the bath, relaxing in a cooler room allows the body temperature to drop, which makes sleepy eyes shut.

7 Sleep Tips Just for Women

Is your child a bully? Then it’s your fault

Aggressive parenting is turning children into schoolyard thugs, new research claims

Parents and teachers are being warned that punishing children for their aggressive behaviour is only adding to fuel to the fire in the schoolyard.

The harsh disciplinary actions of adults are being labelled as partly to blame for children becoming bullies as evidence reveals decades of teaching intervention methods in schools is simply not working.

Parent expert Dr Justin Coulson said adults are unaware that their reactive disciplinary measures can actually create or increase a child’s bullying behaviour: 'It's case of monkey see, monkey do.'

'What's shocking is how Ebola patients look before they die'

A British doctor working in Sierra Leone has described the horror he and his team have witnessed since the deadly Ebola outbreak struck. 

Dr Oliver Johnson, along with a team of British medics, was working to strengthen the health system in the country's capital Freetown when the crisis took hold earlier.

When disaster struck, they decided to stay and 'do everything they could' to help - despite health workers being among those most at risk of contracting the virus. 

Today, Dr Johnson, 28, described the crippling conditions the team work in - and the opposition they face from locals who believe the disease may be a government conspiracy.

• 'Many Ebola patients look fit and healthy until shortly before their deaths'
• Described heat and chlorine stench of the protective suits as 'overwhelming'

Dr Oliver Johnson, from London, was already in Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, before the Ebola crisis began. He and his team were working to build and strengthen the health system in the country's capital. Today he described the horror the disease has caused

He said: 'We're all aware that there is a risk and that we have to be extremely careful. However, we also know that if we wear the protective equipment properly and follow the protocols then we'll be OK.

'That doesn't leave room for error, however - such as an accidental scratch of the face or forgotten hand wash.

'As we get used to it, we all begin to relax - the risk then is making sure that you don't cut corners or get too confident.'

But he admitted the working conditions wearing the suits were far from anything the team had experienced before.

'I first wore the protective suits during a bit of an emergency, so didn't have much time to reflect on it.

Dr Johnson, 28, is working in Freetown as part of the King's Health Partners scheme. The initiative is a partnership between Guy's and St Thomas', King's College Hospital and South London and Maudsley Trusts as well as King's College London.

He added: 'What shocking is how healthy the patients look before they die and how quickly they decline.

'A number of the Ebola patients I've seen look quite fit and healthy and can be walking around until shortly before their deaths.'

13 Things You Should Never Say In A Job Interview

Aside from submitting a resume full of typos, the quickest way to be eliminated from consideration for a new job is making an avoidable interview blunder — like putting your foot in your mouth. "Every year we see more surveys and polls come out listing some of the crazy things that candidates do or say in job interviews," says Michael Kerr, an international business speaker and author of "You Can't Be Serious! Putting Humor to Work." "So, it's very clear that some people still haven't received the memo: What you say in an interview matters immensely. It's your audition!" Hiring managers use the interview to gauge your fit for the job, your creativity, your ability to think on your feet, your emotional intelligence, and your attitude — so it's impo rtant to remember that it's not just what you say that counts, it's also how you say it. "Your tone of voice and body language will be watched closely as yet another indicator as to your overall fitness for the job at hand," says Kerr. 

Here are 13 things you should never say in a job interview: 

STROKE!!!!!!!!!! What causes a stroke?

                                 What is a stroke? 

A stroke is a condition in which the brain cells suddenly die because of a lack of oxygen.
A stroke can be caused by an obstruction in the blood flow, or the rupture of an artery that feeds the brain.
The patient may suddenly lose the ability to speak, there may be memory problems, or one side of the body can become paralyzed.¹
This Medical News Today information article provides details on the two types of stroke, who are at risk, what its causes are, its symptoms, how a stroke is treated, and how strokes can be prevented.

The two main types of stroke

The two main types of stroke include ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.

Ischemic stroke

Ischemic stroke accounts for about 87% of all strokes and occurs when a blood clot, or thrombus forms that blocks blood flow to part of the brain.
If a blood clot forms somewhere in the body and breaks off to become free-floating, it is called an embolus. This wandering clot may be carried through the bloodstream to the brain where it can cause ischemic stroke.

Nicholas Winton -One man who changed the world

The fantastic story of Nicholas Winton who in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II, organized a rescue operation that saved the lives of 669 children. 
Sir Nicholas Winton is a humanitarian who organized a rescue operation that saved the lives of 669 Jewish Czechoslovakia children from Nazi death camps, and brought them to the safety of Great Britain between the years 1938-1939.

This is from the documentary "Nick's Family" (2011). Sir Nicholas Winton is  age 105.

Study found genetic variants mean in women who give birth after the age of 33 live longer: Remaining fertile later in life is linked to a slower ageing process

It could be true................

A new study has found women who give birth naturally later in life are more likely to live longer

Women who give birth later in life live longer and as a could provide an insight into slowing the ageing process, scientists have said.result Genetic variants that mean women remain fertile for longer may be the key, researchers said today.

The study found women who had their last child after the age of 33 were twice as likely to celebrate their 95th birthday, compared to those who gave birth for the last time by 29.

Lead researcher Dr Thomas Perls, from Boston University Medical Center in the US, said the findings do not mean women should delay having children.

He said: 'Of course this does not mean women should wait to have children at older ages in order to improve their own chances of living longer.

Can healthy dose of sunshine reduce your blood pressure? Study finds link between low levels of vitamin D and hypertension

Antihypertensive drugs have common side effects such as coughing, dizziness, facial flushing and constipation, experts believe some people might benefit from vitamin D supplements instead

Getting some sun on your skin not only improves your mood but could also reduce your blood pressure, say experts.

A study found a strong link between low levels of vitamin D, absorbed by the body from sunlight, and higher levels of blood pressure.

Researchers believe it is the first study of its kind to suggest that taking vitamin D supplements could be an alternative to drugs for tacking high blood pressure in some patients. 

Around 30 per cent of people in England have high blood pressure, known as hypertension, which is the single most important risk factor for early death.

Going on fruit and vegetables is the key to preventing chronic diseases like diabetes and asthma

Eating plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains helps prevent people from developing more than one chronic disease, new medical research shows.

The world-first research conducted by the University of Adelaide examined the link between diet and 11 chronic diseases, including anemia, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, arthritis, hepatitis, coronary heart disease, asthma, stroke, fracture and cancer.

It found that people who eat a higher amount of fruit are less likely to develop any chronic disease, while a high intake of vegetables helps prevent people with one chronic disease from developing a second.

People who eat a higher amount of fruit are less likely to develop any chronic disease, new research from the University of Adelaide shows

The study, done in conjunction with universities and health organisations in China and Canada, is published in the Clinical Nutrition journal.

While links between good diet and disease prevention are well established, this is the first study that had linked poor nutrition to the development of multiple chronic diseases, otherwise known as 'multimorbidity'.

The researchers studied more than 1000 Chinese people over a five-year period.

Women who have four or more children have double the risk of heart disease

Large families: Pregnancy itself can place more strain on the cardiovascular system

Giving birth to four or more children can double a woman's risk of heart disease, research has found.
Once a woman has given birth three times, the more pregnancies she then undergoes, the higher the risk of thickening arteries  - which can lead to a heart attack. 
Aspects of pregnancy have previously been linked to heart disease, so researchers set out to determine whether the number of live births is associated with early signs of cardiovascular disease.
Being pregnant sparks a cascade of changes that can place more strain on a woman’s cardiovascular system.
For example, the volume of blood being pumped through the heart increases by 50 per cent.

Big boys don’t cry BUT deep down they’re more emotional than women, ACCORDING TO NEW STUDY

They like to show a hard exterior but that emotion is just waiting to come out

He might like you to believe he's as hard as nails, but don’t be fooled by your man’s tough exterior.

Enlightening new research has found that men are in fact more emotional than women.

The experiment found that when men and women watched the same heart-warming videos, it was the men who experienced stronger physiological reactions.

But true to type, when asked about their emotions, the women admitted feeling more emotional than the men did.

The research which was carried out by psychology research institute, Mindlab, and commissioned by the Royal Mail, dispels the myth that men don’t experience the same range of feelings as women.
