Why Diversity?

Managing diversity is one of the most important challenges facing managers and their organisations. In today’s work environment co-workers are increasing likely to be of different gender, age, religion, cultural background, race and ethnicity. They will also differ in terms of lifestyle choice, perspectives, attitudes, value system, beliefs, behaviors, expectations, skills and experiences.

The complexity of differences is wide ranging and because of that there is not one way of doing things or seeing or being in the world. People are not the same and although they want to be treated equally, this does not translate to being treated the same This has implication not just in respect to the workforce but also in the delivery of public and private services, the design and development of products and procurement activities.

These issues are not just about discriminatory practices but they modify the nature and demands placed on leadership and management and bring into prominence the concept of diversity. How well or how prepared managers are able to invest in the concept of diversity will impact not just on work issues but also on sensitivity to customers’ needs, legal compliance, business’ ethical issues, profitability and even social cohesion.

HUMOR AT WORKPLACE

According to recent research from Professor Christopher LeGrow from Marshall University, workplace humor can help people de-stress, but it can often be offensive. In fact, around 70% of people polled reported that workplace jokes they’d heard centered around making fun of co-workers based on factors like age, sexual orientation and even weight! Additionally, 40% admitted that they themselves had made fun of a co-worker’s age or weight. Other popular workplace joke topics included jokes based on accents, personal hygiene, and work behavior (like poor attendance, asking the wrong questions, or working too closely with the boss).
While there wasn’t a big difference between what men and women found offensive in office humor, women were more likely to be offended at remarks targeting their physical characteristics, such as weight, scars or cleavage.
Success is an Attitude
Positive attitude helps to cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worry and negative thinking. If you adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive changes into your life, and makes them happier, brighter and more successful. With a positive attitude you see the bright side of life, become optimistic and expect the best to happen. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth developing and strengthening

The benefits of a positive attitude:
Helps achieving goals and attaining success.

Success achieved faster and more easily.
More happiness.
More energy.
Greater inner power and strength.
The ability to inspire and motivate yourself and others.
Fewer difficulties encountered along the way.
The ability to surmount any difficulty.
Life smiles at you.
People respect you

ANGER MANAGEMENT

Anger Management TechniquesAnger is one of the most common and destructive delusions, and it afflicts our mind almost every day. To solve the problem of anger we first need to recognize the anger within our mind, acknowledge how it harms both ourself and others, and appreciate the benefits of being patient in the face of difficulties. We then need to apply practical methods in our daily life to reduce our anger and finally to prevent it from arising at alL

What is anger?

Anger is a deluded mind that focuses on an animate or inanimate object, feels it to be unattractive, exaggerates its bad qualities, and wishes to harm it. For example, when we are angry with our partner, at that moment he or she appears to us as unattractive or unpleasant. We then exaggerate his bad qualities by focusing only on those aspects that irritate us and ignoring all his good qualities and kindness, until we have built up a mental image of an intrinsically faulty person. We then wish to harm him in some way, probably by criticizing or disparaging him.

Anger is a natural emotion which is very common.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”A Famous Buddhist saying.

What they might teach you at a anger management session is something we we can learn from our inner self.Anger is inside us so it will be wise to seek the solution in our inner world.However in our daily life we get angry at a drop of our hat.However it harms us and makes our society less tolerable.Unfortunately Capitalism has only made things worse for the society.In our office or workplace,you can always face an irritated and angry boss or co-worker.Inside our house often we get used to angry partner or a growing child.However we can manage our anger and frustration by following this simple steps:

Breathe Deeply:This is one of the best ways to calm your nervous system when you feel that you feel anger rising rapidly.Anger is nothing but misdirected energy.Anger management experts have long advocated deep breathing as the yoga technique in their anger management classes.When while driving you see someone overtaking you from wrong side,just deep breathe and give yourself some time before you react.Anger management gurus and health care fraternity has long established link between heart attacks and anger.So take it easy.
Drink cool water/juice/chocolate:Sipping water when you are angry helps you cool your body thus calm your nervous system.Drinking fruit juice helps you divert your mind and a feeling of easiness comes inside your body which helps in cooling tempers.Natural sugars present in juice generates a feeling of wellness.Even Flavanoid rich chocolates can initiate feel good hormones inside you.Keep some of this stuff inside your office ,home or car.

Caffeine Diet

2011-05-10T00:37:00.000-07:00

Caffeine's jolt may do more than just keep you awake. A new study supports the health benefits of coffee by showing how the antioxidants in caffeine fight damage-causing free radicals.
Researchers say their experiments explain the chemistry of how the antioxidants in caffeine seek out and destroy free radicals associated with Alzheimer's and heart disease.
Free radicals are molecules in the body that attack healthy cells and cause damage that can lead to disease. The health benefits of antioxidants are largely due to their effects in protecting against damage from these free radicals.
Recent studies have shown that coffee is one of the richest sources of antioxidants in the average person's diet. But little is known about how these antioxidants, including caffeine, work against free radicals.
In the study, published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, researcher Jorge Rafael Leon-Carmona of Universidad Autnoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, in Mexico, evaluated the five different theoretical mechanisms of the chemical reaction between the antioxidants in caffeine and free radicals.
They found that a mechanism called the radical adduct formation (RAF) is the main mechanism involved in caffeine's ability to protect against damage from free radicals, which is consistent with previous studies in animals.
Researchers say the results support the notion that caffeine is a major source of antioxidant activity in coffee.

Boiling water

2011-05-08T00:34:00.000-07:00

Boiling water before drinking it is one of the recommended practice by health officers especially in the third world countries where their source of drinking water is not safe and sometimes the causes for some incidence of common illness for children.
Those living in the remote areas, in the farms and far flung barangays (barrios) are the one victims of these infectious diseases of catching water-borne diseases because of drinking unsafe water.
To ward-off the impending occurrence of water-borne diseases, boiling your drinking water is the safest way. Study shows, that boiling water for three minutes kills bacteria, including disease-causing organisms and giardia cysts. However, boiling concentrates inorganic impurities such as nitrate and sulfates. Boiled water also tastes flat because the because the carbon dioxide is removed. (Source: Eubank, Wanda, et al. Univ. of Missouri Extension).
In the most advanced countries, drinking water is safe and they're already treated to meet International Safety Standard, not like in the poor countries that they've to dwell on making some innovation just to give safe drinking water to its populace.
And boiling their water before drinking is only the best alternatives.
The followings are the selected advantages of boiling water before they're used for drinking.
1. Boiling kills some bacteria, viruses, cysts and worms.
2. Boiling is the simplest and easiest method of disinfecting to remove pathogens from the water. (P. Laurent, et al. Household Drinking Water Systems and their Impact on People with Weakened Immunity, MSF-Holland, Public health Depart.)
3. Heating water by boiling removes some microorganisms and some chemicals and other components that can be present in drinking water. ( Adapted from Sobsey, 2002;Skinner and Shaw, 2004;WHO, 2004a)
4. Effective in destroying several classes of waterborne pathogens like; bacterial spores, fungi, protozoan, and helminth ova.( Adapted from Sobsey, 2002;Skinner and Shaw, 2004;WHO, 2004a)
5. No need for a skills training in boiling water as long as it is boiled at the right heating temperature to kill waterborne diseases.
6. Drinking boiled water is safe as against the fresh tap water.
7. Drinking boiled water everyday increases your blood circulation.
8. Some studies suggests that by drinking hot water, removes some built deposits in our nervous system. These deposits are responsible for creating negative thoughts and emotions.
There are still lots to learn about the importance of boiling water for the safety of our body against some major diseases that caused illness to some people especially children and adults who are vulnerable by drinking unsafe water

Water Treatment Methods for Domestic Use:
Most of the methods of water treatment methods discussed below are Point Of Use (POU) devices. POU methods treat water at the point where is is used - frequently at the kitchen sink. Only the water that is actually used for drinking, cooking, beverage preparation, etc. is treated. This has the advantage of economy - only a few hundred gallons of water need to be treated per year instead of many thousands if all of the water entering the home were to be treated.
Most people who use water supplied by a municipal water company only need to worry about POU treatment, because it is your water company's responsibility to provide biologically and chemically safe water that has most objectionable taste and odor causing substances removed. As you have read elsewhere on my site and in the local news, this is unfortunately not always the case. Most people using public water do not need to employ Point of Entry treatment devices or the more expensive POU devices like distillation and reverse osmosis. It is important, though, to obtain and read the annual Water Quality Report that the water company is required to make available to you. The contaminants most people using public water would be liable to experience at harmful or unacceptable levels are:

· Residual disinfectants (chlorine and/or chloramine, for example) added to keep water safe during distribution.

· Disinfection byproducts, like the trihalomethanes.

· Lead (as discussed elsewhere, many homes leach lead into the water from pipes and/or fixtures).

· Brief, accidental contamination by microbes (E. coli, giardia, cryptosporidia, etc.) or other contaminants.

· If you live in an agricultural region, unacceptable levels of nitrates or organic compounds (even if they are below regulated levels).

What is Nanotechnology?

A basic definition: Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. This covers both current work and concepts that are more advanced.

In its original sense, 'nanotechnology' refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up, using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, high performance products.

Properties of Nanomaterials

In tandem with surface-area effects, quantum effects can begin to dominate the properties of matter as size is reduced to the nanoscale. These can affect the optical, electrical and magnetic behaviour of materials, particularly as the structure or particle size approaches the smaller end of the nanoscale. Materials that exploit these effects include quantum dots, and quantum well lasers for optoelectronics.

For other materials such as crystalline solids, as the size of their structural components decreases, there is much greater interface area within the material; this can greatly affect both mechanical and electrical properties. For example, most metals are made up of small crystalline grains; the boundaries between the grain slow down or arrest the propagation of defects when the material is stressed, thus giving it strength. If these grains can be made very small, or even nanoscale in size, the interface area within the material greatly increases, which enhances its strength. For example, nanocrystalline nickel is as strong as hardened steel. Understanding surfaces and interfaces is a key challenge for those working on nanomaterials, and one where new imaging and analysis instruments are vital.

What is a kidney stone?

A kidney stone is a solid piece of material that forms in a kidney out of substances in the urine.
A stone may stay in the kidney or break loose and travel down the urinary tract. A small stone may pass all the way out of the body without causing too much pain.
A larger stone may get stuck in a ureter, the bladder, or the urethra. A problem stone can block the flow of urine and cause great pain.

What can I do to avoid more stones?

Drink more water. Try to drink 12 full glasses of water a day. Drinking lots of water helps to flush away the substances that form stones in the kidneys.
You can also drink ginger ale, lemon-lime sodas, and fruit juices. But water is best. Limit your coffee, tea, and cola to 1 or 2 cups a day because the caffeine may cause you to lose fluid too quickly.

Try to drink 12 full glasses of water every day.

Your doctor may ask you to eat more of some foods and to cut back on other foods. For example, if you have a uric acid stone, your doctor may ask you to eat less meat, because meat breaks down to make uric acid.
If you are prone to forming calcium oxalate stones, you may need to limit foods that are high in oxalate. These foods include rhubarb, beets, spinach, and chocolate.
The doctor may give you medicines to prevent calcium and uric acid stones.
