FOR KIDS: Sudden big chill

Earth?s climate cooled quickly at the beginning of the Little Ice Age, hundreds of years ago

Web edition : 2:31 pm

Climate scientists these days track rising temperatures and worry about global warming. But long ago, people faced a different shift in the weather. For a period of a few hundred years, ending around 1850, a chill called the Little Ice Age gripped much of the northern hemisphere. Temperatures fell, and glaciers grew in the mountains. ?

A series of four volcanic eruptions may have swiftly triggered that global cooling, scientists now report.

Hard Time Building Muscle? Try These Tips! | AHIP's Health Care ...

Building muscles takes much more than showing up in the gym and simply lifting some weights. Many factors contribute to getting great results when lifting. Check out the following article to see what actions must be taken to get the most out of a muscle building program.

Record your progress routinely in a training journal. It is vital that you keep a record of your achievements when striving to increase your muscles. A great way to accomplish that is to have a fitness log. Record every exercise, along with how many reps you do, after each workout. This allows you to keep track of how you?re doing and to know when it?s time to increase weights or change your routine altogether.

Make your muscle building goals realistic and reasonable. It takes time to achieve the muscle growth you want. You may have to work out for months or years to achieve your goals. Using steroids, stimulants or other harmful substances in order to build muscle will cause damage to the body, and may even cause more serious consequences.

Continually change your exercise routine. If you aren?t excited by your routine, then you will be more reluctant to work out. Mix up your workouts to confuse your muscles and ensure you are always making progress. By adjusting your workouts, you keep them interesting and you will stay engaged.

Don?t stop eating good fats when lifting weights. Good fats are conducive to growing muscle mass. If your diet does not contain enough of these fats, then you will not get the muscle growth you are aiming for. Research has proven that a positive relationship exists between your testosterone and fat levels, which is an additional benefit of eating healthy fats.

Use expert advice if you want to build up muscle and get stronger. Taking expert advice is a great way to trump your rivals and get the tools necessary for real success. Take what you have learned and use it to stay motivated while you are trying to increase the amount that you can lift.

Muscle building isn?t just about getting ripped. When it comes to choosing a fitness routine to build muscles, there are many choices. Consider each one carefully before committing. If you are aiming for totally maximizing the size of your muscles, you will likely need to add supplements to your exercise and diet plans.

Try to keep breaking your personal lifting records. You can do this by gradually increasing the amount of weight you lift. Also try setting goals for how many reps you can complete at different weights. It will give you motivation to better your previous results.

Although there are many things involved with proper muscle building, this article has shown you that it is pretty simple to achieve results with your daily actions and continued commitment to it. Now is the time to put this advice into action and create your muscle-building routine!

The article you have just read provided you with ideas which can help you to attain your goals in short order. The tips in this article were designed to help you efficiently build muscle. By using this knowledge, you can start getting better results for your efforts.

Steve Paviina ? Embracing the Law of Attraction | NanoKino

February 28th, 2012 by admin Leave a reply ?

Steve Pavlina?s Law of Attraction may at first impression appear like some things that was spouted by mystics in the age of peace and love! Steve?s beginnings were quite humble, he wasn?t raised in a rich family so in no way did he grow up privileged. In fact Steve?s search for private development and growth came when he hit the all-time low, sitting in a cell serving time for transgression burglary.

Why Would I need LOA?

With Steve?s strategies you?ll reveal lots of subconscious reasons why some people are successful while many others are not. Often it?s simply down to the numerous way successful folks look at things. While one individual confronting a hurdle will quit , others will find how around the problem and learn and grow from the experience. Steve shows individuals to work and think in a manner so they?re going to be in a position to overcome the obstacles that are blocking them from achieving what they need to. He realized early that what holds many folks back is the way that they were brought up many kids encounter a lot of negativeness growing up. This is conditioning which is like a person?s early programming if you like. If you are consistently failing at everything you do ? particularly at sides of your business, visit StevePavlina.com ? you?ll be there alongside the thousands of site visitors he gets each day. Take some time to skim some of the many articles he has on his website ? many of them are truly helpful for making you mindful of how things can be much better for you and your business, if you simply think differently. For instance, why do you hold yourself back from doing certain jobs? Why do you not like doing particular things is it because you aren?t successful at doing them? This should be anything from meeting folks to writing letters. Steve shows how positive thinking can get you past these obstacles.

LOA for Personal and Thriving Business Development

Steve firmly believes that with the right perspective you can attract whatever you actually need, and by using his methods in the Law of Attraction he can show you how to think and be completely effective when attempting to attain your targets. LOA will help you achieve your ambitions, and help you overcome problems once they appear ? and everyone knows we?re going to have Problems. By maintaining positivity and understanding the LOA approach to by-passing difficulties is basically a part of self improvement and personal development. You have two selections, to progress or fail, and after following and understanding the Law of Attraction you won?t be one of the failures.

The L. O. A Straighten out Your Attitude!

Do you really have any positive targets set for your business, or are you rambling around lost in a fog? Steve shows you that having a solid goal under consideration and being mindful of that goal all of the time, the Law of Attraction will move you closer to your ambitions faster. Simply asserting you really need to save for your kid?s university fund won?t get you anywhere towards that goal without doing something positive about it. With a new or established business you?ve got to have set goals under consideration. A few of the people seem to be born knowing they?re going to be successful but for us normal folks Steve Pavlina?s the Law of Attraction can give an understanding into the correct way to think and become successful.

Creating gadget-like blocks for Windows Home Server 2011 web add-in user interface

To keep user interface of your Windows Home Server 2011 (WHS) web add-in similar to other parts of UI you may need styled blocks like shown on WHS web interface home page. In this post I will show you HTML mark-up and CSS you need to create your own gadget block.

Example of gadget-like block

Here is the example of custom gadget-like block from the UI of my WHS YouTube Downloader. There is no out-of-box control or some other UI component you can use on different pages that renders you simple area to show some custom content.

I extracted mark-up and styles of gadget and made my own fixes to make block look nice. Although I?m not very happy because of massive use of tables my solution still works and it is simple to use.

Mark-up for gadget-like block

Here is the HTML mark-up for gadget-like block.

---

<div?class="Homepage-GadgetBoxBase Homepage-GadgetBox My-Sidebar">

??????? </tbody>
??? </table>
</div>

You can wrap this box to some base user control and output all container mark-up around inherited controls when render method is called.

Fixing styles

To get the gadget-like block to be rendered correctly we need some additional styles. Looking at source of WHS home page we can see that all gadgets organize their own content containers styling. Here are styles I use for gadget-like block shown above.

---

<style?type="text/css">
.youTubeDownloaderButton
{
??? background-color:rgb(220,227,168);
??? border: 1px?solid?green;
??? color: black;
}????
.My-Gadget-Content
{
??? margin-top: 12px;??
??? margin-right: 12px;?
??? margin-bottom: 0px;?
??? margin-left: 12px;??
}
.My-Gadget-Content?li

}
tr.Homepage-GadgetTopRow
{
??? cursor:default;??
}
.My-Sidebar
{
??? float:right;
??? width:300px;????
}
</style>

---

You can create your own CSS file for style fixes like this and provide with your add-in installer.

Need some money for college? Probably, it?s crazy expensive, nowadays. Well, I have some great news. If you?re a woman over 30, then you qualify for some great grants and scholarships from the government. Keep reading to see why. There is a lot of money available to help you.

These grants and scholarships started when Obama took office in 2008. He wanted to raise the education level of America, and one of the best ways he saw was getting women over 30 back into college. In fact, women of all ages can go to school and get a scholarship to help them pay for it.

The most logical way was to provide money to make this possible and very easy for them to do so. Thus, the government programs available today. Scholarships can be very simple to get. Simply apply through your local finance office at your college, and they?ll get you connected with a federal agent to get you on your way to that grant or scholarship! The process is very simple and many people just try to over complicate. There is quite a bit of money that can help you get your education and it is worth applying at your local financial aid office to help you.

Grants and scholarships are the way around all this financial issue. With grants and scholarships, the issuer gives you the money, to be used for school, and you never have to pay it back. Imagine graduating from college and not have any student debt! There is no reason to stay in debt when there is a lot of money available to help you get in school.

Getting a degree in a field you enjoy working in is a sure way to earn more money ? not to mention having many more opportunities for advancement into more responsible positions. Ask anyone you now who has gone back to school ? chances are, they don?t regret it for a moment. Yes, it can be a lot of time and hard work, but in the end it?s almost always worth it.

It would help in finding the best deal for you. Various researches and studies have been conducted in the area and it was found that Barclaycard provides best rate of interest to customers on credit cards. However, this is not the binding decision and your choice may be different from this. Look at all the pros and cons of a credit card before sending an application for the same.

Recharge your cell phone with a touch? New nanotechnology converts body heat into power

ScienceDaily (Feb. 22, 2012) ? Never get stranded with a dead cell phone again. A promising new technology called Power Felt, a thermoelectric device that converts body heat into an electrical current, soon could create enough juice to make another call simply by touching it.

Developed by researchers in the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials at Wake Forest University, Power Felt is composed of tiny carbon nanotubes locked up in flexible plastic fibers and made to feel like fabric. The technology uses temperature differences -- room temperature versus body temperature, for instance -- to create a charge.

Their research appears in the current issue of Nano Letters, a leading journal in nanotechnology.

"We waste a lot of energy in the form of heat. For example, recapturing a car's energy waste could help improve fuel mileage and power the radio, air conditioning or navigation system," says researcher and Wake Forest graduate student Corey Hewitt. "Generally thermoelectrics are an underdeveloped technology for harvesting energy, yet there is so much opportunity."

Potential uses for Power Felt include lining automobile seats to boost battery power and service electrical needs, insulating pipes or collecting heat under roof tiles to lower gas or electric bills, lining clothing or sports equipment to monitor performance, or wrapping IV or wound sites to better track patients' medical needs.

"Imagine it in an emergency kit, wrapped around a flashlight, powering a weather radio, charging a prepaid cell phone," says David Carroll, director of the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials. "Power Felt could provide relief during power outages or accidents."

Cost has prevented thermoelectrics from being used more widely in consumer products.

Standard thermoelectric devices use a much more efficient compound called bismuth telluride to turn heat into power in products including mobile refrigerators and CPU coolers, but researchers say it can cost $1,000 per kilogram. Like silicon, they liken Power Felt's affordability to demand in volume and think someday it could cost only $1 to add to a cell phone cover.

Currently, 72 stacked layers in the fabric yield about 140 nanowatts of power. The team is evaluating several ways to add more nanotube layers and make them even thinner to boost the power output.

Although there's more work to do before Power Felt is ready for market, Hewitt says, "I imagine being able to make a jacket with a completely thermoelectric inside liner that gathers warmth from body heat, while the exterior remains cold from the outside temperature. If the Power Felt is efficient enough, you could potentially power an iPod, which would be great for distance runners. It's definitely within reach."

Sea turtle may become California's official marine reptile

A leatherback turtle prepares to nest and lay her eggs in Playa Caletas on Costa Rica's northern Pacific coast in 2004. A proposal in California would make Pacific leatherback sea turtles the state's official marine reptile. (Project for the Conservation of Marine / August 3, 2004)

By Tony Barboza, Los Angeles Times

February 23, 2012

California has a state bird, a state flower and even a state fossil ? the saber-toothed cat. Joining the bunch could be an official state marine reptile.

A bill introduced last week by Assemblyman Paul Fong (D-Cupertino) would name the endangered Pacific leatherback sea turtle to a growing list of symbols that includes the California quail, the gray whale, the California poppy and the garibaldi ? the state marine fish.

The leatherback, the world's largest sea turtle, would claim an entry in the law books right below ? and not to be confused with ? its relative the desert tortoise, a landlubber that has held the title of state reptile since 1972.

The symbolic measure, intended to raise awareness about the imperiled creatures, comes as the federal government is setting aside 41,000 square miles of the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington as critical habitat for leatherback turtles, which can weigh in at 2,000 pounds and measure 8 feet long.

Their numbers have dropped by more than 95% since the 1980s because of disease, the harvest of their eggs and entanglement in fishing gear. Leatherback turtles have been on the endangered species list since 1970.

Fong said the designation is part of a "coordinated worldwide conservation effort" to save the sea turtles from extinction. The designation, he said, "will demonstrate California's commitment to protecting leatherback sea turtles and our ocean's ecosystem."

Leatherback turtles have been around for 100 million years and make the longest known migration of any reptile, swimming thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean each year from nesting beaches in Indonesia, Mexico and Costa Rica to the U.S. West Coast, where they feed on jellyfish.

The bill would also declare Oct. 15 Western Pacific Leatherback Sea Turtle Conservation Day and encourage the state's public schools to teach about the turtles.

Menopause Symptoms And Effective Home Cure For Menopause

Menopause is a natural event that normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.

Once menopause is total (called post menopause) and you have not had a period for 1 year, you are no longer at risk of becoming pregnant.

For more information please visit herbalcureindia.com

The symptoms of menopause are cause by changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. The ovaries make less of these hormones over time. The specific symptoms and how significant (mild, moderate, or severe) they are vary from woman to woman.

Menopause is a term used to describe the permanent cessation of the primary functions of the human ovaries: the ripen and discharge of ova and the release of hormones that cause both the creation of the uterine lining and the succeeding shedding of the uterine lining (a.k.a. the menses).

Menopause typically (but not always) occurs in women in midlife, during their late 40s or early 50s, and signals the end of the lush phase of a woman?s life.

Menopause is defined as the state of an absence of menstrual periods for 12 months.

The menopausal transition starts with unreliable menstrual cycle length and ends with the final menstrual period. Perimenopause means ?the time around menopause? and is often used to refer to the menopausal middle period.

Menopause, the time when a woman stops having menstrual periods, is not a disease or an illness. It is a transition between two phases of a woman?s life.

Many women experience a variety of symptom as a result of the hormonal changes associated with the transition through menopause. Around the time of menopause, women often lose bone density and their blood cholesterol levels may worsen, increasing their risk of heart bug.

Treatment of Menopause

Every womans experience of menopause is different. Many women have one or more symptoms ? hot flashes, changes to skin and hair, loss of concentration and memory, and emotional upheaval ? that they find troublesome; some notice a few slight changes, but nothing that impacts on their daily lives, and a few sail through the whole experience feeling no different.

http://www.herbalcureindia.com/menopause-home-remedies.html

Some of the changes in menopause can be calmed by giving replacement estrogen in place of the hormone that is no longer made by the body.

The decision to take estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) or hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which is a mixture of estrogen and progesterone, should be an individualized choice.
A woman and her doctor should thoroughly discuss the benefits and risks before start therapy.

Boil a teaspoon of carrot seeds in a glass of cows milk for ten minutes and have it daily as this is very helpful home remedy for menopause.

Walking, jogging, bicycling, jumping rope, dancing, swimming, or any other daily exercise can relieve a lot of the symptoms of menopause. This is one of the best menopause treatments.

Cellular aging increases risk of heart attack and early death

University of Copenhagen

Every cell in the body has chromosomes with so-called telomeres, which are shortened over time and also through lifestyle choices such as smoking and obesity. Researchers have long speculated that the shortening of telomeres increases the risk of heart attack and early death. Now a large-scale population study in Denmark involving nearly 20,000 people shows that there is in fact a direct link, and has also given physicians a future way to test the actual cellular health of a person.

In an ongoing study of almost 20,000 Danes, a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen have isolated each individual's DNA to analyse their specific telomere length a measurement of cellular aging.

"The risk of heart attack or early death is present whether your telomeres are shortened due to lifestyle or due to high age," says Clinical Professor of Genetic Epidemiology Borge Nordestgaard from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Professor Nordestgaard is also a chief physician at Copenhagen University Hospital, where he and colleagues conduct large scale studies of groups of tens of thousands of Danes over several decades.

Lifestyle can affect cellular aging

The recent "Copenhagen General Population Study" involved almost 20,000 people, some of which were followed during almost 19 years, and the conclusion was clear: If the telomere length was short, the risk of heart attack and early death was increased by 50 and 25 per cent, respectively.

"That smoking and obesity increases the risk of heart disease has been known for a while. We have now shown, as has been speculated, that the increased risk is directly related to the shortening of the protective telomeres - so you can say that smoking and obesity ages the body on a cellular level, just as surely as the passing of time," says Borge Nordestgaard.

One in four Danes has short telomeres

The study also revealed that one in four Danes has telomeres with such short length that not only will they statistically die before their time, but their risk of heart attack is also increased by almost 50 per cent.

"Future studies will have to reveal the actual molecular mechanism by which the short telomere length causes heart attacks," says Borge Nordestgaard, and asks, "Does one cause the other or is the telomere length and the coronary event both indicative of a third - yet unknown - mechanism?"

Another possible prospect of the study is that general practitioners could conduct simple blood tests to reveal a person's telomere length and thereby the cellular wear and age.

###

The study "Short Telomere Length, Myocardial Infarction, Ischemic Heart Disease, and Early Death" is scheduled for the March issue of the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology published by the American Heart Association. The March issue will mail on 16 February 2012, and the journal article is also available online.
