San Francisco Schools Transformed by the Power of Meditation. Silence isn't something people usually associate with middle school, but twice a day the halls of Visitacion Valley School in San Francisco fall quiet as the sixth, seventh and eighth grade students meditate for fifteen minutes.
And school administrators tell NBC News that the violence outside of the school, which is situated in one of San Francisco's poorest neighborhoods, was spilling into the school and affecting the students' demeanor. "The kids see guns on a daily basis," the school's athletic director, Barry O'Driscoll said, adding, "there would be fights here three-to-five times a week.

Quiet Time at Brooklyn Urban Garden School.
On a Wednesday afternoon in early May, after a full day of studying the Byzantine Empire and sitting through lessons on annotation and critical reading, the sixth-graders in Zsazita Walker’s social studies and language arts class were, expectedly, acting like sixth-graders. School was almost over and the classroom, scattered with posters, worksheets and lesson plans, was buzzing with chatty, curious 10-, 11- and 12-year-olds who knew they'd soon be free from class. But before dismissal, one exercise remained. The kids shuffled from grouped tables to neat, forward-facing rows of desks. Walker counted down from five, telling her students to make sure the table tops were cleared.
Nearly in unison, the 25 students in class 601 at New York City's Brooklyn Urban Garden School closed their eyes. It was Quiet Time, which is exactly what it sounds like. The students sat for 15 minutes without making a sound. <center>Reading, Writing, Required Silence:<br> <small>How Meditation Is Changing Schools And Students</small></center> The ROOT CAUSE of CANCER-Nobel Prize Winner Dr.Otto H Warburg - ganodermareview. Biochemist Otto Heinrich Warburg, one of the twentieth century's leading cell biologists, discovered that the root cause of cancer is too much acidity in the body, meaning that the pH, potential hydrogen, in the body is below the normal level of 7.365, which constitutes an "acidic" state.
Warburg investigated the metabolism of tumours and the respiration of cells and discovered that cancer cells maintain and thrive in a lower pH, as low as 6.0, due to lactic acid production and elevated CO2. He firmly believed that there was a direct relationship between pH and oxygen. Higher pH, which is Alkaline, means higher concentration of oxygen molecules, while lower pH, which is acidic, means lower concentrations of oxygen...the same oxygen that is needed to maintain healthy cells.In 1931 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this important discovery. Dr Warburg was director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (now Max Planck Institute) for cell physiology at Berlin.

Dengue fever, typhoid in Indonesia: 10 travel health myths debunked. Tasha had a horrible birthday.
TASHA Nabila’s 18th birthday was definitely a memorable one — for all the wrong reasons. The Sydneysider wound up spending the milestone in an Indonesian hospital after contracting both typhoid and dengue fever — at the same time. She endured multiple blood transfusions and horrendous symptoms during her 15-day hospital stay, and it was all because she wasn’t aware of the risks to her health while overseas. “I was expecting months of sunshine, shopping and side-of-the-road food carts,” Ms Nabila said of her holiday hell. “I definitely didn’t expect to spend my 18th birthday in a hospital room with a drip in my arm.” Ketut John Darling.

The grandmother figure at my guesthouse in Ubud didn’t speak a lick of English but her open and friendly smile, coupled with a gentle beckoning of the hand, was the only invitation I needed to sheepishly shuffle over to the assembly line of family members weaving and plaiting palm leaves into tiny three inch by three inch containers.
The little pallets of offerings in Bali take so many different forms and are one of the first things I feel in love with wandering the streets of Ubud.

Not only can this affect your posture (when the front delts are strong and the rear delts are weak, the shoulders tend to roll forward), that structural imbalance is what leads to shoulder injuries, the most common being rotator cuff tears, says exercise physiologist Jacque Ratliff. When one part of it is stronger than the others, it’s not able to move the way it’s supposed to.
