**Inner peace for busy people**

Remind yourself that there is more to life than work, achievements and getting ahead. Many people feel they are living in a nonstop; they rush to go ready for work, weekend’s offer no relief, as those are two days to tackle laundry, yard work, grocery shopping, bill paying and other chores. Absent, for so many, is a sense of inner-peace. Here are some simple strategies for reducing stress and cultivating peace of mind.

1-You have balance in your life between labor and leisure, work andplay. 2-live your day the sacred way. 3-self- care at work. -working a regular hours by arriving and leaving at the same time daily. -taking lunch every day while doing something unrelated to work, such as taking a walk ,listening to a relaxation tape or writing in a journal.

Happy JAN. 30, 2013

SMOKING
When your parents were young, people could buy cigarettes and smoke pretty much any where-even in hospitals ! Ads for cigarettes were all over the place. Today we're more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking is restricted or banned in almost all public places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise on TV, radio and in many magazines. Smoking's bad for your health. Nicotine is addictive and increases cholesterol level in your body. Major diseases caused by smoking are heart attack and lung cancer. Smokers are more likely to get cancer than non smokers. This is true for lung cancer, throat cancer and mouth cancer. Ninety percent of lung cancer cases are due to smoking, so let us say good bye to smoking and live a happy and healthy long life.

Hi New, have you ever smoked ? Is there someone in your family who smokes. Do you have any suggestions for people who want to stop a habit or addiction ? - Kamikaze 13/12/31

Hi teacher and classmates,

My name is Major. I would like to little talk about the disadvantages of smoking habit of either cigarettes and hubble bubble or hoookah. Afterward I will present my suggestions addicted people can use to stop this harmful habit. The drawbacks of smoking habits are as follows:

1. It is a wasting money. If we suppose that an average cost $10 per pack per day for addictive person, think how much it costs per month. $300 burned monthly!

2. Smoking distroys the senses of both smell and taste gradually depends on addiction period.
3. Smokers look older than her or his real age! Why? because the nicotine can easily affect the epidermal cells and body cells as well. It contracts the blood vessels and and reduces the amount of oxygen required for our bodies. 4. The smoker due to the insufficient oxygen in blood vessels feels tired and finds himself unable to carry out full physical activities. 5. As non-smokers know, the disagreeable odor is unfavorable for most others present. 6. Many troubles could originate from smoking. The most dangerous one is cancer. It can affect any body part of most humane organs like: **Lung, stomach, bladder, kidneys and many other other organs.** 7. Smoke is not harmful for smokers only but its affect extends to the people around and close to the smoker. Those affected people might be called a negative smokers. In addition, there are many other drawbacks for this habit and need more and more time to list them all.

After highlighting the some of the disadvantages above, I think it is very useful to submit some suggestions that might be helpful to people who would like to quit smoking. These tips in my point of view reflect my feeling as an older smoker. I smoked for thirty years. Finally I decided to quit this habit and I succeeded. My advice to quit this habit are: a, The smoker has to have the desire to stop smoking. b, He/She has to be able to endure with some patience specially for the first few weeks. c. Smoker has to avoid stimulant drinks which remind him of cigarettes like coffee, tea...... etc. d. Drinking water and soft drinks as much as possible to refine their blood from leftover nicotine. e. Try to refer to some special centers which could help the smokers to quit smoking. f. Whenever you remember the cigarettes in certain time i.e while watching tv or any other situation, try to change your status to rid yourself of the memory.

As a conclusion to what was said above, I would like to advise all smokers specially youngsters to quit smoking ASAP and before going to doctors and listening very hard to the sentence "**you have to quit smoking or you will be ..............shortly"**

This is my story with smoking and what happened to me in the past. Thanks for listening.

West Nile Disease  Important points to remember: • This disease, which caused by virus of infected mosquito bite, transmitted from one person to the other. • Symptoms are mild flu like symptoms, including fever, head ache and body ache which develops to severe form of symptom which are life threating and finally fatal. • people who are in old age and those have weak immune system are more prone to the disease. • Diagnosis confirm by blood examination.• Has no specific treatment, just supportive therapy in serious cases for prevention of secondary infection are available. • There is no vaccines to protect people against this disease.

With best regards, Modern

Hi Modern, this is very useful information. It's important to protect yourself from mosquito bites if you can. Another scary thing you can get from walking around in the woods is Lyme disease which is transmitted by ticks ... so when you are walking around in the woods, it's a good idea to wear long pants or knee socks and check for tick bites.

I also heard on the CBC radio this morning about "Collective Diagnosis". You pay $200. for the service and put out your symptoms to the medical detectives. Some of them are doctors, some not and in this way sometimes diagnoses of rare diseases can be made faster using technology and a large number of experiences.
