Body weight is
largely regulated by what goes into the stomach and more by the time when it is
rendered to the body. No matter whether your goal is weight loss or management,
you need to carefully watch your meals. About dinner....the earlier you eat, the
better. This allows the body time to digest food properly, while you are awake
and active. If you eat and go bed soon after, it does not have enough time to
digest what you have eaten before resting. Food sits in the body overnight,
then passes out without being properly digested, or it can hang around too long
in the body as undigested waste.

• Dangers Of Labeling Children
Parents and
teachers sometimes label children "lazy" because they get the
impression that children don’t listen, don’t concentrate, and don't care
intentionally. You'll often hear them say "He has the ability, if he just
tried harder, he could do it. He chooses not to do the work. If she would just
pay attention, she would get it. After I give the instructions, he sits and
stares at his paper. He is not motivated." Children are often not aware
that those things happen or have no idea why and how they happen, or what they
can do about it.

• Avalanches: Causes And Effects
While avalanches are sudden, the warning signs are almost always
numerous before they let loose. Yet in 90 percent of avalanche incidents, the
snow slides are triggered by the victim or someone in the victim's party.

• Leadership In Business
As managers we are entrusted with
providing fair direction, counseling and evaluation for the benefit of our team
members and organization. I have found that employee performance and loyalty is
in direct proportion to the amount of respect and support given. Especially
during the most challenging times when we all tend to enter into the
"fight or flight" response.

process, some say it is ability, others say it’s a relationship.

Leadership is a
relationship between
those who aspire to lead and those who choose to follow. (Kouzes & Posner,
2002).

• What Is Global Warming?
·
Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests
are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It's becoming clear that
humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing
heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases,
their levels are higher now than in the last 650,000 years.
• Causes of Global Warming
·
Scientists have
spent decades figuring out what is causing global warming. They've looked at
the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. But the
amount and pattern of warming that's been measured can't be explained by these
factors alone. The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of
greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans.
• Effects of Global Warming
·
The
planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between.
Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree
Celsius), and even more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising
temperatures aren’t waiting for some far-flung future. They’re happening right
now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising. The heat is
not only melting glaciers and sea ice, it’s also shifting precipitation
patterns and setting animals on the move.

• Sources Of Air Pollution
Smog hanging over
cities is the most familiar and obvious form of air pollution. But there are
different kinds of pollution—some visible, some invisible—that contribute to
global warming. Generally any substance that people introduce into the
atmosphere that has damaging effects on living things and the environment is
considered air pollution.

• Things A Mother Will Never Stop Saying
We always have this attitude responding to our
mothers questions, below are some USUAL answers to the most usual mother's
request that we should avoid

figured that they all have those template sentences that fit into any part of

• 5 ways to stay holiday slim
Turkey with all the trimmings, Christmas pudding,
bottle after bottle of grape and bubbly and, of course, chocolates, cheese and
mince pies between meals. This isn’t just Christmas, this is an amazing assault
on your gastronomic senses!
Before you set off home to spend a festive
fortnight with your family consider your eating habits during this period and
the effects it has on your body. I’m not saying deprive yourself of holiday treats
or opt for nut loaf over turkey but it is worth considering your portion sizes
and curbing snacks between meals.
• Are You Sleeping Enough?
· If you want to be healthy, you know you've got to eat more greens and
hit the gym. But did you know that cuddling your pillow a little longer also
does you good?
While it's not a new discovery that sleep makes us feel better, in the
past several years medical research has shown that slumber has a much bigger
impact on our overall health and fitness than just keeping away those under-eye
bags.

• Bullying and Teasing
Bullying: Know the facts about
bullying, even if you don’t think bullying affects your child.
Unfortunately, teasing is often part of growing up — almost
every child experiences it. But it isn't always as innocuous as it seems. Words
can cause pain. Teasing becomes bullying when it is repetitive or when there is
a conscious intent to hurt another child. It can be verbal
bullying (making threats, name-calling), psychological bullying (excluding
children, spreading rumors), or physical bullying (hitting, pushing, taking a
child's possessions).
• Coping With Natural Disasters

safety of their people. The advanced sciences and great inventions and
discoveries of humans contributed effectively, making the countries capable of
achieving such a tough task. Nevertheless, they were able to find methods that
can predict natural disasters, and help to plan and prepare for them, reducing
its massive and severe consequences and helping to cope up with them.
