Washing day, La Habana
Wow - Cuba - what a country, what an experience! I have had such a fantastic time over the last week or so I don't know where to start...so why not at the beginning.
Ater a routine flight from Mexico DF, Lucy and I arrived in not just a different country but what felt like a different age. Within seconds of being on the road we saw the old cars that Cuba is famous for, along with the revolutionary signs "Viva la Revolucion!" and pictures of Che Guevara. We were whisked in a Lada taxi to our hotel, on the edge of the Parque Central, the Hotel Plaza, arriving in an old hotel with a beautiful pink art deco style lobby. The rooms didn't quite match up, but no matter, we were already bewitched!
First up in the priorities for me was a mojito. We were in Cuba after all, and where else to do this but the Hotel Raquel? This was not far from our hotel but as we didn't quite have our bearings right we took a cycle rickshaw. It was a great way to travel, and we soaked up the atmosphere, eyes on stilts. Havana, in
A street in La Habana
fact Cuba itself as we were to discover, is like being in a museum. Almost all the buildings were old and crumbling, the 1950s cars outnumber anything else, and everything was steeped in history. We were already beginning to suspect just how different this country was going to be.
The Hotel Raquel was suitably grand, with a stunning lobby stuffed with beautiful furniture, so enjoying a mojito and chatting to the bartender was no great chore. We then wandered up Obispo, one of the main pedestrian streets, to get back to our Hotel. That evening a few blocks from our hotel we stumbled across El Floridita, one of Ernest Hemingway's old haunts and where he would go for daiquiris, so we decided to stop off for a quick daiquiri on our way to dinner. Delicious! Mr Hemingway sure knew his stuff.
Day two was Christmas Day, although this completely slipped my mind until about two hours into our day. It was also when our cycling tour group departed, and we met our tour guide and the rest of the group. We were supposed to be 15, however one had pulled out at the last minute due to a
Typical Cuba - old cars and revolutionary slogans
family illness. So we were 14 instead, made up of:
Douglas - our Cuban guide; Alexander - our Cuban driver; Amanda - from New York (whose travel companion had pulled out the last minute); Chuck and Virg - from Iowa; Pat and Bob - from Texas; Sissell - from Norway; Marlene and Gerald - from Vienna in Austria; Dave - from Toronto; Pati and Neil - from Alberta; and Kristin - from Norway.
We weren't to know on day one, but we couldn't have found better travel companions if we'd tried.
So first up we piled into the bus and headed for Pinar del Rio, about 160kms west of La Habana, where we settled into our first hotel for the trip, and got our bikes and set ourselves up. We then headed off by bike to the city of Pinar del Rio, about 7kms away, to get used to the bikes and have a look at the architecture. It was about this point that I realised that I was woefully ill prepared for a cycling trip. The Americans, as we called the two couples from Iowa and Texas, go on many cycling holidays and cycle often. The

Austrians live five minutes from some lovely forest areas and mountain bike all the time, and it certainly looked like everyone else had given this a lot more thought than me! I hadn't been on a bike for about two years, and beyond buying an el cheapo helmet from the warehouse had not given the cycling aspect of my trip any thought at all.
Despite my lack of preparation the first afternoon's cycling went fine. We cycled into the town of Pinar del Rio and had a quick look at the gorgeous architecture - coloured houses and pillars. It was very quiet in Pinar del Rio, perhaps because it was Christmas Day, but more likely because it was Sunday. Christmas didn't seem to be a big deal in Cuba, although I saw Christmas trees and decorations in people's houses. It's been a holiday in Cuba since the Pope's visit there in 1995.
It was with much more trepidation that I got on the bike on day three. Douglas had prepared us well, telling us that it was a very hard day with many hills. I bitterly regretted not having packed biking pants, or bringing any sports drink or
The gorgeous lobby at the Hotel Plaza
sports food with me, or in fact doing any training whatsoever....but despite this I did okay! It was a very hard sixty kms, but through some gorgeous quiet country roads. Horse and gig, oxen pulling carts, horse riding, trucks and buses transporting people were all very common sights.
When we finally arrived at our destination, Cayo Jutías, it felt that it had all been worth while, although a miracle I made it! On the north side of the island it was an idyllic Caribbean beach, with white sand, turquoise water, fringed with palm trees and almost entirely ours alone. Heaven!
The next morning we awoke to a beautiful day. I opened the shutters at our hotel overlooking the Valle de Viñales and was greeted by a stunning view. Wow. Simply gorgeous looking over the valley, and the colours were amazing. After yesterday's long hard climb and late lunch I had a bigger breakfast in preparation for the day ahead, which turned out to be a very wise move.
First up we cycled down to the town of Viñales itself where we had around 30 minutes or so to wander around the town. Although Douglas told us that
El Floridita, cradle of the daiquiri
Hemingway's favourite spot in La Habana for a Daiquiri
there were about 160,000 people living in the town and the surrounds, it was a one-horse town, with a main street no bigger than Taihape's. It was very pretty however, and fascinating peering into people's living rooms and reading all the Revolutionary signs people had on their houses.
The plan for the rest of the day was to cycle to a small river for a picnic lunch, then visit a tobacco farm. Everything went awry however when about 15km away from La Palma, one of our riders, Sissell, fell off her bike. A group of us were ahead when we heard Neil yelling out for us to stop and for Douglas, our guide to go back as there had been an accident. The bus which was following us was at the accident scene very quickly and within minutes the Cuban family, whose house she had crashed outside, had scooped her up and bundled her into the bus and Alexander whisked her to the emergency hospital in La Palma, along with Kristin (the other Norwegian), Amanda (who speaks some Spanish) and Dave. The rest of us rode to La Palma to meet them and see what the news was at
Waiting for the bus, Pinar del Rio
the hospital.
After quite some time waiting, Douglas finally emerged from the hospital with Sissell's x-rays, and we all peered at them trying to figure out what they meant. By the time we left it felt as though the entire town had seen Sissell's x-rays - privacy issues are clearly not a concern in Cuba! However the bad news was that her elbow was badly broken and she would require surgery, plus her collarbone was also broken. Her back was also very badly grazed and required treatment. Douglas was keen to get her to the much bigger hospital in Pinar del Rio, as La Palma was a very small town, so he went with her in the ambulance to the hospital, while we went with Alexander in the bus back to our hotel. It was 5.00pm by the time we got there, so we had our picnic lunch, absolutely famished. Although we waited up for Douglas for an update that night, he didn't get back from the hospital until well after midnight, and it wasn't until late the next day that we learned that she had also broken her leg. Poor girl!
Our plans for the next day
Beautiful housing in Pinar del Rio
went out the window a little too, as we were all keen to try to visit Sissell in hospital in Pinar del Rio, as well as try to visit a tobacco farm, which we had missed out on yesterday. It was already going to be a very busy day, so we decided not to bike so that we could fit everything in. This somehow didn't quite get through to Douglas who was in his cycling kit all day, although we couldn't complain about that - he cuts a very fine figure!
First up we visited a tobacco factory where they made the cigars. It was incredibly labour intensive, with the leaves selected individually and rolled by hand, different leaves from the tobacco plan used for different parts of the cigar. We were all a little relieved to discover that the children at the factory were not working, but were killing time waiting for their mothers during the school holidays. Most of the workers were women, which Douglas claimed was because of their hand sizes.
From there we went to the hospital in Pinar del Rio. It was a very large hospital, being the main one in the region,
Taxi anyone?
Shared taxi transportation in Pinar del Rio
but was not like anything I had come across before. In fact I had the misfortune to need to use the bathroom there and it was the dirtiest and most disgusting one that I have come across to date. It didn't have any running water whatsoever. Needless to say my hand sanitiser got a good work-out that day. There was a lot of waiting around while Douglas was liaising with GAP (the tour operator), local hospital people and the travel insurance, but we finally all got an opportunity to see Sissell and say goodbye and good luck. At that stage we thought that she was going to be flying back to Norway in the next few days. Sissell had a great attitude, and put on a very brave face along with her gorgeous smile, but it felt terrible to leave her there in the hospital. The good news however is that Dave decided to stay with her for the next few days until she was able to be moved to a better hospital and she could receive some better care. It was extremely kind of him, and put our minds at rest. We thought we might be able to meet

Sissell took this the morning of the accident
up with him again in Havana but unfortunately we didn't see him again, and also never got an opportunity to say goodbye.
From the hospital we went to the tobacco farm, which was really interesting. The farmer is told by the state how much to plant (as a minimum), and once it is grown and ready, the state come back and buy back 90% of it. Naturally they determine the price. If he plants more, that is fine too but they still buy 90% of it. The amount that they give him is the minimum amount that he has to grow. The remaining 10% he can do what he likes with, including make his own cigars and sell to tourists.
The political situation was fascinating to us and we asked lots of questions trying to understand it better. Douglas had originally studied and qualified as an electrical engineer however the money as a tour guide is much better, as although he is an employee of the state (his services are contracted to various tour companies) he gets tips which he can keep. He is saving to buy a house, which he should be able to do in about
On the way to work
3 years. It is only recently that you can buy and sell property, however like most things in Cuba, there was a black market where it went on anyhow. The state has now allowed houses to be bought and sold and I imagine takes a cut. However even though life is changing for Cubans, they don't exactly know what the future could bring, although it will include "socialism" as Douglas called it. It's not logical in many senses - the country is filled with slogans about continuing to fight the revolution, however they are already embracing the opportunities to establish their own small businesses such as restaurants and homestays to make extra money. So it's a very strange mix of capitalism and socialism that is hard to explain.
Last stop of the day was at Los Portales, which is the cave where Che Guevara was holed up during the Cuban crisis in 1962. It was in a beautiful spot, however I wouldn't want to have been cooped up in the very austere office and bedroom that Che occupied during that time. They had left it almost exactly as it was when Che was there. It is fascinating to hear

the history from the Cuban's side. Apparently the Russians the US resolved the crisis using diplomacy, but they never bothered to keep Fidel informed, so when he discovered what had happened he was furious.
That night after dinner began the first of our dancing lessons. In Cuba there is music and salsa absolutely everywhere you turn and it seems as if to be born Cuban is to be born dancing. Our dancing efforts were less successful but a lot of fun. We had proper lessons one night, but the rest of the time anybody and everybody would be teaching us and pointing out what we should be doing. My most discouraging moment was after dancing with one Cuban who said, "We'll call that the NZ version of Salsa". I had thought I was doing ok!
Another local custom that we have also adopted with gusto is enjoying a rum or two in the evenings. They sure know how to make a good mojito here. And a very good Cuba Libre too. Douglas told us the story of where the Cuba Libre comes from - in 1898 Cuba and US joined together to fight the Spanish, and when they
Town life in the Pinar del Rio province
finally conquered them in 1901 they brought together two things symbolic of each of their countries - Rum from Cuba, and Coca Cola from the US to create a drink in celebration of "Free Cuba". And thus the Cuba Libre was born.
Day six of our tour saw us visit Las Terrazas, created in the late 1960s as part of government funded conservation and reforestation project, as well as providing housing for local farming families. In 1990 it became an ecotourism resort - so Cuba was well ahead of the times in that respect. We also visited an old coffee plantation perched at the top of a very high and nasty hill. However once there it was all worth it - absolutely gorgeous. While we there we saw the Tocororo (or Cuban Robin), which is the national bird of Cuba. This is for three reasons: because it is native to Cuba; its colours are the same as the Cuban flag - white breast, red on the front and blue on the back; and it's a bird that can't be caged, like the Cubans themselves in their quest to be free. That's how Douglas put it anyhow.
That night
Fruit stop
at dinner we got another update about Sissell - she has been transferred to an international hospital in Havana and will require an operation, either in Cuba or Norway, depending on how quickly she can get home and how urgently the operation is needed. As it happened a few of us had the opportunity to visit her in hospital on New Year's Eve in Havana, as it was difficult to get her flights out of Cuba and the doctor from her travel insurance company determined that she needed the operation more urgently, so Sissell was still in Havana on my last day. It was good to see her again, and especially good to see that she was in a hospital that looked more familiar. It had air conditioning, it was clean, not crowded, and she had a private room. She has certainly had an adventure but not the one she had been expecting!
Back in Havana we visited the rum factory and a few sites in Havana, before having a walking tour of La Habana Vieja, the old town. It really is a gorgeous city, and it is slowly being refurbished. Because it was January 30th and all the
Common sight in the countryside
hotels were booked we couldn't go back to the Hotel Plaza, so after being pushed from one hotel to the next, we finally ended up in the Hotel Deauville, down by the Malecon. We knew it mustn't have been a great hotel when we were offered two free drinks at lunch and an upgraded meal to lobster. The meal was delicious! However we arived at our hotel and saw what we had sacrificed. It was kind of creepy and seedy, not helped by the prostitutes, or
in the lobby plying their trade.
The next day was New Year's Eve, and I had booked a night of luxury at the Hotel Nacional. It was heaven after the Dirty Deauville! Pati and Neil were also staying there, so we caught up with them for a drink and a cigar before heading into town to meet the rest of the group - or those that were left - for one final dinner. We were on the roof of the Hotel Parque Centrale, overlooking the park itself, and it was a gorgeous evening. Our final Cuban experience was witnessing a poor woman's bag being snatched, as she stood mere centimetres from where

I've never been so happy to get to the beach
we were trying to get a cab on our way to another bar for a New Year's drink. He moved like lightening!
So then it was to the Hotel Inglaterra for the last mojito of 2011, to have a toast to new friends and old, and to welcome in 2012. We've had an adventure none of us will forget in a long time, and made new friends that I hope I'll have the opportunity to see again soon.
Cuba was a fantastic experience and I loved every minute of it. It's a hard place to explain, to understand and to describe. Like the bird that can't be caged, Cuba's national bird, you can't wrap up Cuba and put it in a box. I highly recommend it, it's fantastic!
Wishing everybody a very happy New Year, here's to whatever adventures that 2012 may bring!

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Do not sign up First American Home Warranty or any of these Home Warranty Program, it is a scam and ripoff. Their contract stated that they will cover garbage disposal. But when you called for service, and technician will come out, can't fix it and tell you it need replacement, could be anything wrong with it. Then First American representative will automatic call you and claim the garbage disposal may have been old and rusted from inside, so they will not cover anything. WOWW....really so now you stuck with paying them $40/month + $70 service fee = $110 total and nothing is fixed or replaced, because they claim it could have been broken from rust. So my question is what the hell do they cover? Most garbage disposal become old and broke down, and rust. Maybe I should have painted my garbage disposal silver looks brand new. It seem to me they just scam $40 and make $70 for the technician, then pissed me off to cancel. Well they did a good job of doing that....God know how many others have suffer the same.

Our Daily Correspondent
Fairy-tale EndingBy Sadie Stein
Once upon a time, a newly married couple rode an old train from Myrdal to Flåm. The train passed through mountains and valleys, past waterfalls and vast lakes. Often the climb was dramatically steep, the hairpin turns almost impossibly sharp. The passengers ran from window to window in a frenzy of excitement, exclaiming at the vivid scenery, blinking in wonder when the train emerged from a tunnel.
A voice spoke to the passengers, first in Norwegian, then in German, then English. The voice spoke of gradients and history: of the men who had built tracks from wood and stone and the many people who had ridden on the red seats of the old train. And there were legends, too: this was folklore country. The land through which the train was passing was said to be haunted by trolls and fays. The valleys were home to the Hulder, a forest siren who lured mortals with her unearthly song. The bride squeezed her husband's hand in excitement. Here was magic; here was darkness. Read More

The 2015 C3 US-Arab Healthcare Summit is an exclusive event dedicated to forging new business relationships, fostering existing partnerships and exchanging best practices by building a cohesive global community through bilateral cooperation.
Reinforcing the theme of the 2015 C3 US-Arab Healthcare Summit entitled "Creating Solutions To Today's Healthcare Challenges: Making Good Health Contagious," the focus of the Summit will discuss the most up-to-date information on important healthcare topics including panels addressing a cure for Hepatitis C; patient safety; the rise and cost of treating mental health issues; the impact of exoskeletons on spinal injuries; medical tourism and cooperative assistance for knowledge transfer via teaching hospitals.
The 2015 C3 US-Arab Healthcare Summit believes that the fight against disease is not a fight for glory. It is about resources and research, about equality and social justice, in order to provide survival and security. It is a fight for a better and healthier life for all of us, but mostly for our children who will continue to live in this very interconnected world.
Today's healthcare faces discontinuous, disruptive change. That said, the culture of today's healthcare is one of a clash among competing forces. Stakeholders often work against each other to obtain advantage for themselves at the expense of others. If healthcare is to achieve meaningful improvement/changes, this competitive clash needs to be transformed into a competition to work together to achieve the right results for the patient. For instance, the way health professionals make decisions will not scale up to handle the data load that is resulting from biological discoveries in genomics, proteomics, and other areas. As the health professions and other stakeholders realize that they cannot escape disruptive change and subsequent challenges, we will have a once-in-a-century chance to test better approaches to today's healthcare challenges in which patient care will be best delivered through systems approaches. Meaning, healthcare providers are taught to practice in multidisciplinary, high-performance teams, using simulation to perfect their skills and outcomes. In the process of shifting toward this vision or other possible futures, health professionals must strive to preserve the passion in quality care for the patient. But, at the same time, critical changes must be made to roles, education, decision-making processes, payment structures, and the way healthcare/patient success is measured—in short, to the professional and business models of every stakeholder in the system.
Global healthcare productivity depends on the high quality of hired healthcare professionals and a financial capital to help provide the care needed. However more importantly and critically, is an innovation that is best delivered through a robust academic system that has great technology and governance. Collaborative efforts would be key to nurture and develop this innovation, which ultimately may lead to partnership. The panel will expose their decade old successful model of close collaboration between Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the American University of Beirut, with the support of the generous philanthropy of the Bobst Foundation. The key element of this successful story is the provision of a nourishing free interactive environment among the healthcare workers of the two institutions. The two institutions have collaboratively maintained a videolinked system of regular conferencing, a stream of joint publications, and an up and running joint tissue bank. The panel will expose how this successful academic collaboration is now being exported and expanded to other institutions in the region.
The Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women's Health and Gender Biology at Brigham and Women's Hospital is committed to improving the health of women and transforming their care. The Connors Center works with divisions and departments throughout the hospital to develop collaborative initiatives to improve patient care by integrating leading-edge research about women's health into clinical practice, developing pilot clinical programs targeting specific populations and areas of women's health, and providing care for all aspects of women's health throughout the lifespan. In support of these goals, the Connors Center:
• conducts and promotes research on sex- and gender-based biology, and the impact of sex and gender on disease, health outcomes, and the delivery of care;
• builds awareness of issues related to women's health and gender biology among clinicians, patients, and the general public;
• educates leaders with the experience and skills to have a major impact on improving the health of women;
• develops programs to build leadership in women's health globally; and
• advocates for changes in public policy to improve the health of women
This panel will explore the collective impact these goals have on the importance of improving the health of women worldwide.
Hepatitis C is an infectious disease that spreads through blood-to-blood contact with an infected person. The keynote panel will address the current healthcare challenges and the private-public sector efforts aimed at eradicating at best, containing at worst, this deadly disease that infects 150-200 million people worldwide. In the United States, more than 3 million people are affected with hepatitis C, most of whom are baby boomers born between 1945 and 1965. In the Eastern Mediterranean countries, the disease has spread to at least 21.3 million carriers. Left untreated, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) attacks the liver which currently counts nearly 12 million Egyptians as its victims. The estimated cost of the care and treatment program for the Egyptian government is approximately USD 80 million annually, which covers 40% of total costs of the program. Insurance companies and patients pay the remaining 60% of program costs. Market competition has driven down the price of medications for a standard 48-week course of treatment. Since the program's inception in Egypt, medication costs have decreased from approximately $12,000 to under $2,000. Nevertheless, treatment costs remain a barrier, hampering efforts to reach a greater proportion of HCV-infected population in the Middle East.
Evidence suggests that 70% of preventable patient harm, poor quality, or serious patient safety events is due to ineffective communication. In the U.S. alone, estimates of preventable patient harm suggest that medical errors are the 3rd leading cause of death. To reduce preventable patient harm globally, healthcare organizations must improve communication among healthcare leaders, teams, patients, and families. Creating a common language for communication protocols and practices that result in safe, patient-centered care is challenging amid an avalanche of other improvement reforms and initiative especially in countries with diverse national cultures in their workforce or patient populations. Fortunately, evidence-based communication methods, tools, strategies, and improvement programs are being successfully implemented to reduce preventable patient harm and create a culture of safety and high reliability in the U.S., and there is reason to be optimistic that these can be successfully adapted to the patient safety and quality needs of the GCC and the broader MENA region. This panel's discussion topics will focus on: creating a culture of safety in healthcare; building high reliability teamwork through open communication; communication from the perspective of the patient; overcoming barriers in culture through 'common' language.
Governments in the MENA region have given high priority to the development of health care services at all levels. For this reason, the new models of healthcare partnership, affiliations, training, capacity building and strategic partnership are changing. The global growth in the flow of patients and health professionals as well as medical technology, capital funding and regulatory regimes across national borders has given rise to new patterns of consumption and production of healthcare services over recent decades. A significant new element of a growing trade in healthcare has involved the movement of patients across borders in the pursuit of medical treatment and health; a phenomenon commonly termed 'medical tourism' which occurs when consumers elect to travel across international borders with the intention of receiving some form of medical treatment. This treatment often spans the full range of medical services. Learn how these new models will foster physician exchange and patient mobility, both inbound and outbound, between the USA and the MENA region, with the outcome being healthcare access that can improve the general health of the individual patient and the general population.
Go behind the scenes of disaster relief in global hot spots with Nancy Aossey, International Medical Corps President & CEO. Ms. Aossey will provide a first-hand look at the dangers humanitarian workers face in delivering assistance and training on the frontlines of war, natural disaster and disease. A preeminent global first responder, International Medical Corps has responded to nearly every major crisis of the last 30 years, including the Philippines typhoon, the Haiti earthquake, Indian Ocean tsunami, genocide in Rwanda, the Syria crisis and conflicts in Darfur, Afghanistan and the Balkans, Ebola in West Africa, and other hard-hit places around the world. International Medical Corps and its partners provide health care services and training that build healthier communities. It is an investment that benefits us all because it prepares local residents to be their own best First Responders should disaster or disease strike, helping communities along the path from relief to self-reliance
In a 2013 report, The World Health Organization estimates that there will be a worldwide shortage of 12.9 million healthcare workers by 2035, and that "the current rate of training new health professionals is falling well below current and projected demand." In response, the WHO has called on the international community to "rethink and improve how we teach, train, deploy and pay health workers so their impact can widen." With the ability to leverage resources and expertise across sectors, public-private partnerships can play a significant role in building capacity of health care systems and deploying a better-trained and more robust workforce. Using case studies of successful public-private partnerships, this discussion will explore how governments, the private sector and civil society can continue to innovate and collaborate to build health care capacity and support the development of a global health workforce.
NCDs like type-2 diabetes, obesity, and CVD are sweeping through the Middle East, adding enormous strain on political, social, and economic order. Because non communicable diseases are more and more prevalent in developing countries, they double the burden of infective diseases. By 2020, it is predicted that these diseases will be causing seven out of every 10 deaths in developing countries. If the present trend is maintained, the health systems in low-and middle-income countries will be unable to support the burden of disease. Yet, prominent causes for heart disease, diabetes, cancer and pulmonary diseases can be prevented by modifying behavioral actions and relearning healthy habits that deal seriously with mitigating risk factors like smoking, alcohol, physical inactivity and western diet. This panel will discuss some simple yet effective strategies that can be adopted to produce enormous financial and humanitarian improvements in the region
More severe forms of spinal cord injury (SCI) result in the inability to stand and walk causing severe inactivity. The combination of paralysis and the loss of activity have devastating consequences on the physical, medical and emotional health of individuals with SCI. State of the art knowledge about the medical consequences of SCI will be discussed by two expert medical researchers in the field of SCI medicine. Additionally, an individual's perspective on being paralyzed will be shared. The medical professionals and the personal experience discussions will include a description of the mobility limitations with loss of independence and social integration, the adverse body composition changes, difficulty with bowel and bladder function, pain, spasticity, and sleep disorders. Additional medical issues to be discussed by the medical professionals will include metabolic and endocrine disorders, respiratory system dysfunction and the disorders of the autonomic or "silent" nervous system. Interventions to prevent or mitigate these secondary medical consequences from SCI will be presented, with a focus on an exoskeletal-assisted walking program. The person with paralysis will share his experience with using a powered exoskeleton and demonstrate how the device is used. The discussion will include a description of the period of training needed to attain proficient walking in the exoskeleton, the degree of neurological deficit of SCI to which these devices are best suited for individuals to master the skills, the reported medical benefits of exoskeletal-assisted walking from a controlled hospital setting, and the psychological benefits provided by standing and walking in these devices. Additional expertise regarding the status of these devices in the USA and Europe and their availability in the Middle East will be provided by the CEO of a leading company in the field of powered exoskeletons. In summary, the panel discussion will provide insight into the mobility and medical problems faced by a person with SCI, identify a few of the innovative approaches to surmount the neurologic and health disorders of paralysis, and discuss the anticipated benefits of applying these innovative approaches to improve the longevity and quality of life of individuals with SCI.
Statistics indicate that the frequency of most mental disorders does not vary much from country to country around the world. Schizophrenia, for instance, affects 1% of the population worldwide. Anxiety and depression are much more common and affect at least 10% of the population. So there is no reason to believe that Arab countries are any different. In fact, the few statistics coming out of certain Arab countries (e.g. Lebanon and Egypt) confirm this fact. The issue in the Arab world is more to do with stigma and culture. Little attention is given to teaching interviewing skills or changing attitudes toward mental illness. Rarely is there any prolonged study given to the natural course of the illness and the effects of treatment by following the same patients over time, thereby limiting the amount of time spent dealing with their mental issues. Further compounding the problem is the lack of clinical research and/or supervision. For these reasons, there is an increased need for accessible, feasible, and culturally appropriate mental health interventions and programs that utilize local idioms of distress. Key techniques for fostering long-term change include raising public awareness, fostering acceptance, and destigmatizing the field of mental health in the region. The experts on this panel will be discussing the rise and cost of untreated mental health issues in the Arab region with an emphasis on solution-oriented strategies.
Telemedicine is revolutionizing healthcare on many levels including clinical applications, medical education and helping to provide equity of access to medical care. There are numerous advantages to using telemedicine, and these include reducing waiting times for specialist clinics; providing services in the community of the patients; and, reducing expensive medical transport for patients and staff. The benefits of videoconferencing solutions have been especially beneficial in three distinct areas of the healthcare industry: patient consultation, administration, and medical education. That said, telemedicine is a rapidly developing area of clinical medicine, where medical information is transferred through live, interactive media such as videoconferencing, for the purpose of consulting and sometimes for remote medical procedures or examinations. It works by providing the link between the patient and the doctor, despite the distance between them. The access to medical knowledge can reduce the waiting time of a patient, and therefore their treatment time. Equity of access to healthcare services is considered a human right in most of the Western world, but providing healthcare services, specialist medical treatment or a consultation with a nurse or doctor in every city is a growing problem for public healthcare systems. Using telemedicine applications will enable organizations to deliver basic services speedily and on a regular basis where locally or internationally. More importantly, for remote areas, telemedicine is becoming a lifeline for the community; not only does it serve to provide timely medical advice without long travel, but it is also keeping the community together, removing the need to migrate from remote to populated metropolitan areas when a citizen encounters ill health. This session will discuss how telemedicine can change the global healthcare market, the habit of patients, and its effects on quality care; and, how remote healthcare will improve the collaboration and care between participating universities and hospitals in the US and Middle East.
Since the early 20th century, there has been a focus on hospitals as the locus of health care delivery. While good secondary and tertiary care facilities are critical components of a strong health system, in the twentieth century we are faced with healthcare needs that are best treated outside of the hospital setting. This requires the development of new models of care delivery based on extending the reach of the clinic into the communities where patients live

As if their dominance on the field wasn't enough, the controversial 'Big Three' – India, Australia and England – have now taken effective control of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and will rake in the most revenue generated by the sport's governing body.
Leaked draft proposals of the 'position paper" revealed that these three countries wanted more decision-making power in the council as they represented the wealthiest test-playing nations. Plans were also revealed for two divisions of Test Cricket, but with India, Australia and England guaranteed to avoid relegation to the bottom division due to their commercial importance.
While an ICC Executive Board meeting in Dubai ruled out immunity for the three nations in the two-tier format, a decision was taken to allow Board of Cricket Control India, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), and Cricket Australia (CA) to take major control over the governing body.
Happiest of all would be the BCCI. "Recognition of the need for strong leadership of the ICC, involving leading Members, which will involve BCCI taking a central leadership responsibility," said a press release.
The meeting also cleared the path for BCCI president N Srinivasan to take up the role of ICC chairman from June 2014. The Indian cricket board was also successful in getting rid of the proposed World Test Championship. Instead, the 50-over Champions Trophy will be played after every four years.
Also, according to the proposed changes, revenue from cricket will be distributed among all the Test playing nations according to their commercial value. Since all countries will get a slice of the pie, one would imagine that teams such as Pakistan would welcome the sharing format as it has not hosted international cricket since gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan team in Lahore in 2009.
The drought of cricket has resulted in a depleting bank balance for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and experts believe it would be foolish to forego assured revenue.
However, before the decision was taken, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stated it would strongly oppose any structural overhaul that would hand over power to India, England and Australia.
"Chairman Zaka Ashraf has been told Pakistan should not support any such changes as it would divide the cricket world and effectively give all veto powers to India, Australia and England," a member of the PCB's governing board told Reuters.
The governance of cricket has changed forever and while some test nations believe it will bring benefits, other leading countries such as Sri Lanka and South Africa have been scathing in their criticism. One wonders if the landmark move will leave the world of cricket divided.

The end of the Campaign...the Beginning of the Project; introducing the beatjazz controller model
Well, here it is! This is the form factor that the TRON Beatjazz controller will take. I, in my great wisdom, decided that I would rather "make" some weird paper mache' clay out of glue, joint compound, flour and wet toilet paper, blended into a clay like material with an electric mixer. After searching 3-4 different stores for all the ingredients, I finally got home, made a batch and molded this baby. The clay did it's job somewhat. I was able to finally get the idea out of my head and into the real world, and here it is!
It surprised me how much it came out looking like a fighter jet joystick, but it feels SO good in the hand. The weight goes where it is supposed to and the fingers fall comfortably onto the keys. The clay wasn't malleable enough to create the strap that will go diagonally across the back of the hand, but the basic layout is all there and everything is exactly as it should be. There will be plenty of space for the MaxM RGB LED as well as internal space enough to house the battery, accelerometer, transceiver and processor boards. This will look amazingly sick when we create the carbon fiber molds with it (or rather one just like it); small enough to be cradled in the hand and large enough to gawk at the awesomeness of design and the materials. Super mega excited!
So here we are. Less than 12 hours left after a little over a month of non-stop progress and a few surprises;
- · we quickly went from a wired concept to a completely wireless one
- · With the help of the amazing Uli Maier, we created a prototype helmet to that will be used to mount components in preparation for the carbon fiber "afro" version.
- · began almost from scratch on a pure data based wind midi system
- · With early contributions, purchased the first of the wireless transceivers and started programming with them.
- · created a working Boehm-fingered wind midi system (on a breadboard)
- · And now have the first (or technically second) viable physical model of the Beatjazz controller hand unit that will become the basis of the design going forward.
And all of this BEFORE the official beginning of the project itself! NOW, it's time to
- · make the wind midi system into a "giggable" instrument
- · Update the accelerometer based gestural system I created, into a dual accelerometer system.
- · create a multi-channel looping system with full gestural control access
- · finish the last half of my book "the 21st century musicians guide to busking"
- · create and mold the carbon fiber parts and assemble the final stage controllers
- · assemble all the notes and videos from this project into the perks packages for the contributors without whom there would be no TRON Beatjazz controller system
- · the work like hell to prepare for a SMOKING-ass debut party at the end of May where I make good on my promise to have created the most AMAZING live music performance system EVER!
So, as you can see, this is just the beginning, but it is the beginning of a dream. I cannot believe that this day has finally arrived in my career. And it is because of YOU that it is happening. Your supportive posts and kind words and drawings, and word of mouth and yes, money as well. I am so honored to be creating this WITH you and FOR you and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for helping me get this far with the project. I want to give special thanks to;
· Uli Maier who's suggestion of carbon fiber, great knowledge and use of his workshop was the unofficial start of the campaign.
· Susanne Heiden who filmed the intro video and helped me to be sillier in it than I would have been otherwise.
Peter Kirn for pushing my campaign out to such a a large audience over and over again.
Peter Kirn for pushing my campaign out to such a a large audience over and over again.
· And Chris "Loganic" Logan who was able to put my ideas into sketch form that allowed everyone to be able to see what I was talking about.
So, with that said...You still have 10 or so (depending on when you get this) hours to help make it happen! Although i can "get by" with almost any amount, this isnt the " quest to build an ok controller" campaign. this is the "HOLY SHIT, WTF IS THAT!?!?' Campaign and we're almost half way there!!
There are many perks just waiting for you. The $400 "wired "controller is now $250 and all controller perks over $800 will be cast in carbon fiber! And every perk $15 and up include the EP and the party pass. So when it's time for fulfillment time, most contributors will get a whole host of great perks! time is almost over. Let's do it and get this system built properly!!

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to create a collage from a photo in Photoshop. It is extremely easy to do so and will only require you to repeat a few steps like we did when we created a collage of polaroids. This is the effect we'll be creating:
Let's get started on this tutorial on how to create a collage!
Step 1
Open the image you want to work with.
Now, duplicate this image by pressing Command+J (Macs) / Ctrl+J (Windows).
Step 2
With Layer 1 selected, create a new layer between the background layer and Layer 1 by command-clicking (Macs) / ctrl-clicking (Windows) on the New Layer icon.
We'll now fill this layer with white. Press D to set white as the background color and press Command+Delete (Macs) / Ctrl+Backspace (Windows) to fill the layer.
Step 3
With Layer 1 selected, grab the Rectangular Marquee tool and draw a square selection anywhere inside the image. Make sure that you hold down the Shift key while making the square selection in order to maintain proportions.
Now, click on the Add A Layer Mask icon.
Click on the link icon between the mask thumbnail and layer thumbnail.
Now, let's add an outer glow to the layer mask. Select the mask by clicking on its thumbnail and press the New Adjustment Layer icon.
Select Outer Glow from the list and change its color to white by clicking on the color swatch.
Step 4
Now, select Layer 1 and press Command+J (Macs) / Ctrl+J (Windows) to duplicate it.
Select the Move tool and then select the duplicate layer's mask by clicking on its thumbnail.
Now, move the square to a new location to create the second square.
Step 5
Now, it's only a matter of repeating step 4 as many times as you need to show the important parts of the picture.
Step 6
We'll now finish the effect by adding some smaller squares. Duplicate the layer again, but before moving the square, press Command+T (Macs) Ctrl+T (Windows) and drag the corner handle inwards while holding Shift+Option (Macs) / Shift+Alt (Windows). Press Return (Macs) / Enter (Windows) when you are done.
Using the Move tool, drag the square to the collage's outside edge.
Repeat this step as many times you want.
Step 7
We'll now add a drop shadow, but before that, we need to merge all of the collage layers. To do so, select the top-most layer, shift-click on Layer 1 and press Command+E (Macs) / Ctrl+E (Windows).
Click on the New Adjustment Layer icon, select Drop Shadow and lower the opacity.
And this tutorial on how to create a collage from a photo is complete!

Hello I joined this Great site in November 2016, And 99.9% of posts were on topic and New posts were revelant to the various sections, But Now there are so many posts are pure spam and advertising also posting adds looking for people to chat on other sites like kik.
We've talked about this. The original mods and admins have basically abandoned it. I don't see why they keep ignoring it considering they still use material from the boards to make more articles. Certainly they've seen us talking about the lack of mods, yet they won't answer the emails of girls who are offering to be mods unless contacted by other means. We do have a mod right now, but only one. And she's a real person with a real personal life, so she can't respond 24/7, or as soon as people want her to. I personally think it's a great idea to have more than one mod, because when NM has something going on in her life, or work is getting in the way, aother can take over. As you've seen, older members are taking interest in moderating and are trying to contact the admins to hopefully have a spot as a mod. ?
I don't think making posts like this is going to do any good.
Hi Fiona Its NOT going to do any harm.
But could they implement some kind of report system, so that most reported posts and topics would be deleted automatically? Just some engineer thoughts:)
Mods have no control over technical issues. The admins would have to do something about that, and it seems like something they're not interested in doing, because NM's tried to contact them to fix the issue with the question mark bug, and they haven't done anything about it.
Just keep reaching out to the actual site. Go to CONTACT US - and click shoot us a note, or even email the actual editors and staff members, their personal emails are listed!
I don't know what to tell you without sounding harsh because your attempts are completely useless. Why am I saying that? Because *MY* attempts were completely useless. I got so tired, worn and stressed out with lack of access to quintessential powers and with people deliberately disrespecting *SIMPLE* rules that I just gave up. This forum is public access which means anyone can view, creep, stalk, post and anything at their black heart's delight and I have limited access which means I'm limited on what I could do. I've contacted *EVERY* email that I've ever come across on gURL, many multiple times, and no avail. So I'm sorry but I'm done. I was a member on this forum for over 10 years. 10 years ago this forum flourished. Now it's rubbish.?
I encourage you you to seek help by other means if you need legitimate advice or someone to chat with. I've moved on and I highly suggest the rest of you all do too. It is not safe here.
If you absolutely need to contact me it must be unrelated to gURL issues. I will only publicize my Tumblr which is timcurryfanatic.tumblr.com.
@NoctumalMistress Thank you so much for your post sorry to see you go and thanks for ALL your help. I wish you and yours all the very best in the future.
I think it's time to stop coming on here folks
It's really sad :( The website doesn't even load properly anymore :(?
Yeah it's pretty shitty. I messaged the admins on tumblr days ago and they still haven't replied.
At this point, I'm not.?
Am not sure if any of you will be interested in another forum that I belong to which is:?http://www.girlsaskguys.com
Purely out of interest there is another forum that I know of which is:?https://www.girlsforum.com
Would you please also make a quick personal introduction (Introduce Yourself) mentioning that you are from here.

15 Stress Busting Tips
It is now estimated that over 90% of all illnesses are stress related and at it's most severe it can shorten your life span and destroy your body from the inside life, long term prolonged stress can eventually manifest itself into depression, general anxiety disorders and panic attacks.
A little bit of stress can help to motivate and drive you on in some situations, but prolonged term chronic stress can seriously damage your health, it will block out your creative abilities, play havoc with your mental faculties, make you moody and bad company as well as making your life a living hell.
Everybody has a different stress threshold and people respond differently to different challenges and situations. Every individual can handle and respond to the same type of situation differently depending on the emotional and physical state their currently in.
If you're feeling calm than you would probably handle and react differently to the the same situation as apposed to if you were feeling stressed and tensed.
There are no stressful situations only stressful responses. You cannot always control your outside events and circumstances, but what you can control is how you wish to respond and perceive those situations.
So therefore are no stressful situation only stressful responses. Although everybody has there own individual trigger points and worries, there are generally several categories that are responsible for most people's stress, these are,
- Worrying and negative thinking
- Reacting badly to outside circumstances
- Rushing, inpatients and trying to meet deadlines
- Bad time planning and time management
- Wanting things to badly and to quickly
15 Tips To Relieve And Cut Out Your Stress
A little bit of stress wont cause you too much trouble and in small doses it can help to motivate you in certain situation, however most people suffer with prolonged long term chronic stress which if left untreated can have a negative and damaging effect and impact on your health, your life and your emotional well-being.
Stress is forever on the increase and long periods of stress can lead to depression, anger, general anxiety and even panic attacks. Most people do not know how to deal with it, yet with a conscious effort and by making some healthy life style changes you can learn to manage and eliminate that long term damaging stress which will not only make you feel better, you will also cope, perform and function better.
1) Pinpoint the root cause of your stress
Behind every bodies stress lies an underlying root source of it, so this means your first step to reducing your stress has to be to try and pinpoint and identify whats actually causing it.
There could be one or many different sources of your stress which you will have to tackle, but you cannot eliminate your stress until you know it's triggers.
There could be many different triggers and each individual is different and their own circumstances which will vary but there is only one way to treat your stress which is to tackle the root source of it.
There are techniques that will help you treat the symptoms of your stress but unless you deal with it at it's very chore then it will just keep on coming back.
So what causes stress ?
The answer to that is, just about anything. You may need to deal with your worries or problems, this means analyzing what's behind your worries and either accepting the worst case scenario then dealing with it or search and research for a solution then applying that information to your life.
You don't overcome a problem by focusing on the problem, you overcome a problem by focusing on the cause of the problem and attacking it at every angle, then you make any mental corrections and physical corrections and adjustments that are required, then you proceed to focus on positive or general things.
It could be that you may need to slow down and cut back on your work load or your other commitments, you may need to incorporate some healthy lifestyle changes and allocate some free time to yourself or stop allowing other people and events to control your emotions.
2) Accept what is and then let it go
We begin to feel stressed when we step out of the tranquility and peacefulness of the present moment or we allow what is and our current results to dictate our emotional and physical state and they allow there results to control them.
It is the three what scenarios that are responsible for so much of our stress and frustration,
- What has happened
- What is currently happening or not happening in our lives
- What could or might happen
Fear is closely related to stress and many of our fears are a result of bad or traumatic experiences that has previously happened to us, the past can cause you to worry and plan negatively for the future.
If you have a problem, forget about the problem and search and focus only on a solution. If a problem arises, take some slow deep breaths and relax your body, then when you are feeling calm think about how you can resolve your problem.
Think about ways you can solve your problem, if you find you cannot come up with an immediate solution then ask your mind to come up with an answer then hand the problem over to your mind whilst you let it go.
Learn to deal with or accept and give in to what is, forget about the past and stop trying to predict the future, it's OK to create a positive and optimistic future but turn into a glass half full type of person.
3) Fearful thoughts and negative thinking
Stress becomes harmful when we cannot control our thoughts and how we respond to challenging situations and events. Most long term and chronic stress is due to fearful thoughts, worry and negative thinking.
But once you deploy a bit of emotional intelligence and mindfulness you can quickly start to recognize those negative thoughts that trigger the emotional arousal and you can quickly step in a stop the momentum.
When learn how to manage your thoughts and emotions then you will have gone a long way to reducing your stress.
The secret to preventing all that prolonged worry and stress is to learn how to monitor your thoughts and feelings so you can prevent the negative emotions and physical responses from escalating into prolong periods of worry and more stress.
Learn to become the observer of your thoughts, let your mind think them but don't judge, suppress or accept them. Just learn to observe your stressful and worry thoughts whilst you remain calm and detached around so you can put a gap in between the negative thoughts and the stressful response.
You will always struggle with your stress and worry if you don't learn how to manage your negative and unwanted thoughts as about 90% of people's stress is due to their thoughts and perceptions.
The first thing to do is to recognize the onset of when your beginning to feel stressed, so you need to be mindful to the symptoms of stress so if anytime you feel your stress levels rising you can intervene and nip it in the bud before you get overwhelmed by your situation and your symptoms of stress.
Nearly all things in life are potentially stressful to someone. You cannot always control your outside circumstances or the world around you, but you do have total control of how you choose to respond, one way to reduce your stress is to accept and even want to be in the situations that usually cause you to get worked up.
This means if your stuck in a traffic jam or a queue you cannot do a thing about it so accept the situation and even want to be there, if your late for work accept your going to be late. Again it is important to stop the stressful responses before they have a chance to overwhelm you.
If your stuck in a traffic jam or your running late for work or something then getting worked up is not going to change anything so you might as well accept your situation and stay calm and patient instead of ending up stressed, frustrated and angry because what ever response you choose your still be stuck or late.
Next time a stressful situation occurs, don't react stressfully or negatively, pause for a second and allow yourself a buffer period to break the old responses by putting a gap between the trigger situation and the stressful response.
Because you need to change the way you respond, so take some slow deep breaths and don't react, don't make any rash decisions and don't judge the situation.
When you take control of your breathing you will start to stop the rest of physical and chemical reactions that are associated with the stress response. Just slowly breathe in for the count of 7 and hold for 3 then out for the count of 11 and repeat until you begin to feel more relaxed.
Going virtual is your bodies natural inbuilt way to calm your down and change the way you respond, so as soon as you notice the onset of any stress, just imagine yourself in a relaxing and beautiful location and engage all of your senses. Always adopt the attitude that everything will work out fine.
5) Relaxation is the anti-dote to stress
Relaxation is the anti-dote to stress and there is no other way around this so you have to learn how to relax deeply and you need to do it on a regular basis, if you have been feeling stressed for a long time now then it might take you a while to learn how to relax deeply but the more you do it the easier and more natural it will become for you.
People often say they have not got the time to relax, but in reality you cannot afford not to as stress can knock years off your life span. When your already tense and stressed it will only take the slightest thing to send you over the edge, so if you spend time relaxing you won't get so overwhelmed and you will find it easier to cope.
Taking a nice walk and observing nature is a good way to unwind, but two of the best ways to relax are by regular meditating or by using hypnosis cds or mp3 recordings.
These two age old traditions are still some of the best ways to deeply relax, meditating and hypnosis will help you too calm your mind and your body and it is essential your give your body some much needed rest bite from all that stress.
The great advantage about regularly relaxing is not only will it ease your mind and calm your body, but once your body is relaxed then you will have less trouble with anxiety and worry. Learning to relax your body is the quickest way to end worry and stress.
Some of the best tools for relaxation are
Although it is important to relax and listen to relaxation tapes and audio sessions, to successfully eliminate the damaging affects of stress you also need to try and pinpoint what's causing it as well as finding a successful strategy to eliminate it the root cause of it. One way to do this is to accept what is and then deal with it.
When you calm your body your mind will soon follow suit, anytime you start to respond stress-fully, tell yourself stop! Then let yourself know that you do have a different choice and more relaxing option to how you want to respond. Spending time with your family and friends can help you to reduce your stress.
Although things like redundancy death of a loved one, relationship and financial problems are big contributors of stress, we can also become stressed in seemingly positive situations like a forthcoming party or social event, a holiday, weddings, starting a new job or going on a date.
One way to combat this is to look forward to any forthcoming events and seeing them as fun, instead of focus on how anxious or nervous your feeling use words like enjoy and excited.
6) Avoid rushing And trying to meet deadlines
One sure way of getting your stress levels up is setting unrealistic deadlines and thinking you have to rush to get something done. Stress is designed to push us to take action, the moment you set yourself a deadline you will put unnecessary pressure on yourself, you can only do you best and no more.
Learn how to slow yourself down a bit and avoid rushing about or thinking everything has to be done instantly and quickly. Regardless to what you might think, rushing about does not guarantee you will get it done quicker in fact it will make you perform worse and you will be less efficient and less productive.
Everything has not got to be done in one day, try and learn to enjoy what your doing and by learning how to slow down and relax yourself you will discover that you work smarter, you will get more done and you will do a far better job.
When we rush we become stressed, when were stressed we cannot think clearly or operate and function at our most efficient best. Yet when your feeling relaxed and in the zone everything becomes so much easier, more effortless and more natural to do. Our optimum peak performances levels are when we are in a that flow like state of relaxed but alert.
7) Planning and time management
Good time management and good planning will help you to reduce your stress, avoid trying to cram too much into your daily routines and try not to juggle to many balls in one go. Live for each day and try not to plan to far ahead as this can cause emotional overwhelm, take each day as it comes and let the future take care of itself.
Not allowing enough time to prepare yourself for work or when you are going out can result in you starting off your day stressed and full of tension. Always allow adequate time in the morning or if you're off out during the day or at night to get ready, because all that last minute rushing will pump your body up full of adrenalin and those stress hormones.
The same applies with your other commitments, tasks and goals and by making clear plans that allow you adequate and realistic times to achieve what you want to get done and don't involve trying to get everything done in a hurry can reduce your stress and improve your performance levels.
If you have a big task to fulfill or a goal you want to achieve, break it down into small easy manageable steps, because if you try to think about the bigger picture it can leave you feeling daunting and emotional overwhelmed.
8) Start the week of in a positive frame of mind
So many people come Sunday night or as they wake up Monday morning start the day or week off by dreading going back to work or dreading the week ahead.
This will immediately puts you in a negative state of mind and body which is not an ideal way to set yourself up for the coming week. Before you know it you will feel stressed and downbeat with what lies before you because your actually planning to have a bad feeling day and even lousy week.
This starts off as early as our school days and it becomes a well practiced habit that gets en-grained into our mindset and over the years as we train ourselves to feel stressed and low all day Monday. This attitude will immediately put you into the wrong frame of mind which will make your day and week seem like along hard laborious slog.
If you want to avoid those negative emotions you need to do the opposite to what you have been doing and tell yourself your going to have a great week and nothing is going to upset you.
Yes there might be some challenges to face and overcome but no matter what you have to decide your still going to have a good week including Monday.
It can also pay to prepare yourself on Sunday night for the week ahead, do some form of exercise or spend twenty minutes before you drop off to sleep deeply relaxing.
Make sure you have got everything prepared and you allow yourself enough time to get ready in the morning. After each day at work when you get home make sure you switch off from your work commitments or projects.
9) Diet and nutrition
Some experts believe that the foods you eat can have an effect on how your body responds to stress. One of the worst offenders are believed to be too much sugar, the trouble is at times when were feeling stressed we tend to crave for more sugar which can make your stress symptoms even worse, it maybe also wise to limit your caffeine and alcohol intake.
Also, during periods of high levels of stress it can deplete the body of vital minerals and vitamins that the body needs and requires to function at it's most effecient best. Other foods that maybe responsible for raising your stress levels are processed carbohydrates such as white bread, white pasta and white rice.
To help give your body the vitamins and minerals it needs follow a good healthy varied diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, combined with whole grains and whole meal breads, pasta, brown rice, fiber, beans, lentils, lean proteins and good fats with omega 3 which can help to stabilize your blood sugars and reduce your stress and anxiety.

10) Keep your muscles relaxed and your body balanced
Our emotional and physical state can affect our patterns of thinking, when your experiencing negative emotions and symptoms of stress and tension you will find you will have more matching negative and stressful thoughts which will leave you feeling even more irritable and moody.
Although something will initially trigger your stressful response, if you don't deal or let go of what caused you to react negatively or if you do not burn off all that extra fuel and adrenaline it can leave you stuck in the stressful state, then something else worries or upsets you and the negative momentum begins to escalate.
Prolonged periods of stress and tension will cause a steady continuous release of adrenalin and the stress hormone cortisol into your blood stream which will activate the physical changes in the body and until you deal with your stress this pattern of negative thoughts and stressful responses will form an ongoing vicious cycle.
Because of the mind body connection you can use your body to calm your stressful and anxious mind. Again breathing will stop the onset of stress if you catch it early, because by controlling breathing you control all the other stress related,most people have become shallow breathers so it will pay you to pay attention too and reset your breathing.
When you make sure your out breathe is longer than you in breathe then your body has to calm down, if you combine breathing techniques with meditation then you will get even greater benefits.
Having a nice poised, aligned and balanced posture will reduce your tension and leave you feeling less stressed and more at ease and balanced, your posture changes your whole physiology.
Massage and yoga are also good ways to relax the body and free it from tension as will as regular exercise, but the best method to keep your body relaxed is not to get stressed or tensed in the first place. When you regularly relax your body so it is calm and balanced your mind will follow suit and you will have less worry and negative thoughts.
11) Think positive
Try to develop a positive mental attitude and outlook because when you have a positive and optimistic outlook you will generally experience more of the calm and positive emotions which will leave you better equipped and able to cope and manage stressfull challenges and pressure situations.
Those who worry a lot and people who have a more negative outlook tend to be far more prone to stress. Individuals who worry a lot have a negative mindset and outlook. So by developing a more positive attitude and outlook you will suffer less with stress.
12) Laugh at adversity
Laughter is a great way to relieve stress, everybody faces problems, we all have challenges to overcome and things go inevitably wrong for us from time to time.
No matter who you are life is not always lived on easy street, but when your life seems to get tough and painful, try laughing at your situation and yourself. (excluding things like bereavements and traumatic events) Puts some music on or doing something to distract yourself from off what ever it is that's bothering you.
Just remember, all suffering passes and everything can be figured out so long as you slow down for a moment and you get out of your head and bring yourself back into the present moment. Then once you have calmed yourself down, devise a plan of action and break all your challenges down into smaller manageable action steps.
Nearly all our initial stress starts and exists in our heads, so if you take your focus of attention out of your head and you put it into doing things externally. Just engage in any sort of physical action like reading a book, observing nature especially water, visiting friends, surfing the internet and you will start to calm down.
13) Take a power nap
During our day we have times when we begin to feel tired and sluggish especially around mid morning and around mid afternoon, this is part of our bodies mini rest and restore cycles.
Most people either ignore or try and fight this natural bodily function, they will have a stimulant drink such as caffeine or an energy boosting drink which are fine but first you should try and sneak off for about seven minutes or a little more for a quick power nap.
Once you have found somewhere quiet, relax and close your eyes for a few minutes, then takes some slow deep breaths, in for 5 and out for 7 as this will help regulate your breathing and just watch your thoughts pass bye, a bit like a mini meditation session. This will give your body a much needed rest and energy boost and then you can have your energy drink or snack.
14) Break the stressful patterns and responses
Stress is like anything else and over time some behaviours and stressful responses can become habitual and automatic, this is where you need to be mindful so you can step and break your learned stressful responses.
So the first thing to do is be aware of anytime your notice yourself starting to feel stressful or your beginning to rush what your doing or when you notice any tension building up.
It is important to step in right at the onset of any stressful responses then deliberately slow yourself down, just do some very slow stretches and have a slow long yawn, take some long slow deep breaths.
Imagine your in a exotic relaxing location or even have a sit down but do everything at a slow pace so you intervene and break the old stressful patterns and responses because your mind and body learn through repetition and doing so you need to undo the old responses.
15 Create your own safe place
if you feeling stressed and overwhelmed then you need to have a cut off point from overworking and once you reach it you have to slow down or say enough is enough because you need to know when to rest and shut off.
Create your own safe place where you can turn off your phone and digital devices, stop working and just switch off from the outside world and relax and chill out for half an hour or more.
This could be a place indoors or outside in nature. Meditate or listen to some relaxing music, read a book or just do something that relaxes you and set aside some relaxing time each day in your safe haven.

Baboon Kaboom is a villain in The Powerpuff Girls movie, he is one of the many primates evolved by Mojo Jojo as part of his plan to take over Townsville. Once Mojo claims himself leader of the primate army who shall now rule the world, all of his minions rebel in an attempt to make themselves leader. Baboon Kaboom's plan is to use Baboon Bot to take over the planet, as the machine can fire bombs out of its butt (similar to monkeys/baboons throwing their feces). Though his Baboon Bot does manage to cause a lot of damage and terrorize the people of Townsvile, he is stopped (as are Mojo and all the other monkeys) when the girls finally use their powers to fight the monkeys. Baboon Kaboom tries to kill the girls with his bombs but they damage the machine by grabbing the turret and causing the machine to have a blowout, causing the bombs in the Baboon Bot to reverse and explode inside of the robot with Baboon Kaboom trapped inside. Baboon Kaboom likely dies in the explosion.
- Baboon Kaboom's Baboon Bot is very similar to real life baboons, who are known for throwing their feces at their predators such as lions. His species could possibly be a Chacma Baboon or Olive Baboon.
