Not at all. Pinball as a model for dealing with grief. The process of grieving can be compared to the workings of a pinball machine, where mourners' movement between different stages of grief such as shock and depression may be unpredictable, according to authors writing in September's issue of Mental Health Practice journal.
Margaret Baier of Baylor University, Waco, Texas and Ruth Buechsel of Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas, say they are not trying to suggest grief is a game or downplay the experience, but that the metaphor can help people understand that grieving is not a linear process. ‘We Built It’: The Neuroscience of Success. When President Barack Obama uttered the words ‘" If you've got a business -- you didn't build that, " he might as well have inserted a live electrode into the amygdalas of millions of American business people.
The amygdala is a key emotional centre in the brain for both fear and rage. Never mind that it was a clumsy phrase that did not convey the meaning in the rest of the speech – only a couple of lines later he said ‘ when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together’ - he had handed Mitt Romney a potent slogan for the Republican National Congress ‘ We built it’ . Becoming a successful business person is tough, and failure is the name of the game for hundreds of thousands of businesses, before they find success.
Success has powerful effects on the brain: it increases levels of the hormone testosterone in both men and women, and ramps up the brain’s chemical messenger dopamine’s activity [i] . Bill Davenhall: Your health depends on where you live. This sounds like quackery, but I feel like it helps me. Am I crazy!? I got an interesting inquiry from a reader that I thought I'd post (with their permission) here, along with my (heavily revised with references added) reply.
While they ask about a particular self-help guru, my answer applies to lots of approaches, not just this one, so I edited out the specifics. 8 Minutes to A Longer Life. Recent research has shown that prolonged sitting time is associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, regardless of how active you are in your non-sitting time (Katzmarzyk et al 2010).
¿Cuál dedo tienes más largo, índice o anular? National Geographic revela curiosos datos al respecto. Estudios científicos avalan que la longitud en los dedos de la mano de los hombres es diferente al de las mujeres.
Asimismo, augura que esta diferencia mantiene una estrecha relación con factores como la sexualidad o la habilidad sexual. La disimilitud de género versa en los dedos anular e índice; mientras que gran cantidad de varones tienen el dedo anular más largo que el índice, en las mujeres, ocurre en la mayoría de los casos lo contrario. Lo anterior se constata por un estudio realizado a ratones, siendo las hormonas sexuales las que determinan la longitud de los dedos -según afirma Zhengui Zheng, biólogo del desarrollo en el Howard Hughes Medical Institute (Florida). El experimento con los roedores ha desvelado más de una incógnita curiosa. Por ejemplo, si un hombre tiene el dedo índice más largo que el anular -una constante más propicia en las mujeres-, supone que en alguna ocasión su nivel de estrógenos fue elevado, lo que puede causar posteriores enfermedades en su etapa adulta.
Breast milk kills HIV and blocks its oral transmission in humanized mouse. More than 15 percent of new HIV infections occur in children.
Without treatment, only 65 percent of HIV-infected children will live until their first birthday, and fewer than half will make it to the age of two. Although breastfeeding is attributed to a significant number of these infections, most breastfed infants are not infected with HIV, despite prolonged and repeated exposure. HIV researchers have been left with a conundrum: does breast milk transmit the virus or protect against it? New research from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine explores this paradox in a humanized mouse model, demonstrating that breast milk has a strong virus killing effect and protects against oral transmission of HIV. "This study provides significant insight into the amazing ability of breast milk to destroy HIV and prevent its transmission," said J.
These latest findings provide important leads to alternative treatments that could be used to prevent transmission. Breathe: Your Life Depends On It. In a quiz I give to individual clients and companies I ask questions like: How often do you notice the quality of your breathing?
Are you aware if it’s shallow, deep, relaxed, short or choppy? How often do you consciously pause from what you are doing to take a few deep, full, relaxing breaths? The reason I ask these questions is because most people unfortunately do not understand how important it is to be aware of your breathing pattern and how that impacts your health, mood, communications, energy and productivity . Here’s why. The average person reaches peak respiratory function and lung capacity in their mid 20's. Most people have unhealthy breathing habits. Are you a shoe fashion victim? Each summer seems to bring with it shoes that are increasingly bad for your health.
Last year, it was the stiletto; this year, the high platform wedge which is taking young women to new fashion heights. Just when you think the shoes couldn't get any higher or any more unstable, a new version hits the stores and soon flies off the shelves. Models wearing these shoes are known to take a fall every now and then. The latest episode occurred at the Fashion For Relief at Forville market during the 64th Annual Cannes Film Festival.
