ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
What is the origin of the name "carnival"?
The name "carnival" is derived from the Latin "carne"
("meat" or "flesh") and "levare" ("to take away" or "lift
up"). It essentially means to take leave of the flesh or,
according to one Middle Ages writer, "solace of the flesh."
What exactly is the "wind chill index"?
The wind chill index tries to measure the rate at which the
human body loses heat as winds blow across it at different
speeds and temperatures. Basically, it attempts to quantify
what the wind makes the actual temperature FEEL like. As
anyone who has spent time in cold winter climates can tell
you, temperature is just one of several factors that
determine outdoor comfort. Wind, precipitation, and sunlight
also play important roles. The original work on wind chill
was done by Antarctic explorers Paul Siple and Charles
Passel in 1941. They measured the amount of time it took a
pan of water to freeze and discovered that the rate of heat
loss from the container could be determined from the air
temperature and wind speed. Humans are more complex than a
pan of water (most, anyway), so there's some controversy
over applying this methodology to them. After all, the
human's size, weight, age, and health also affect how they
feel in the cold. However, the wind chill index can still be
useful for making decisions about outdoor activities.

OPTIMIZE LIFE NOW™ ... with Dr. Rhoberta Shaler

A Dream With A Time Limit
"A goal is nothing more than a dream with a time limit,"
says Joe L. Griffith. Great idea! Does having a deadline
improve your work habits? Many folks get so much more done
when they are clear about when it has to be completed. Why
not do this with the things you want most in life?
When you set the bar, you know you can move it. The trick,
then, is to make the commitments you make to yourself as
important. or, even, more important. than the ones you make
to others. For some, that's a revolutionary idea!
Do you put yourself off? Do you put yourself 'on hold'
indefinitely? Many folks do. This is where the rubber hits
the road in good ol' American slang. This is where you have
to 'fish or cut bait'. This is where you have to decide that
you are worth your time, energy and resources. I was raised
by Depression Era parents. Their experience taught them to
take every measure to ensure financial security. By example
and osmosis, this was passed along to me. To a degree, their
approach makes sense, however, it was a difficult change to
make when I wanted to invest in myself. To take my money and
invest it in me and my business rather than accumulate it in
savings and investments took a lot of courage and
self-confidence. I still have to sit myself down and give
myself a good talking to some days!
Money makes money. You make money. What you do with that
money determines your success. Life is filled with
opportunities. Of course, you have to pay your bills but it
is very good advice to pay yourself first. Put some money in
a place where it will make money smartly first, then, pay
the bills. This will help you realize your dreams. Unless,
of course, your dream is to scrounge, scrape and scurry
through life with difficulty. Then, forget the last
paragraph.
Put a time limit on your goals. Give yourself something to
work towards. You will achieve your dreams once you know
what they are, what you're going to do to accomplish them,
AND by when you will complete the task. Self-confidence will
increase in direct proportion to the attention you give to
your commitments to yourself. What a terrific by-product!

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - - by Karin Henderson
Personal Infection Control
Making Sure You Are Healthy Enough
To Withstand Unhealthy Conditions
PART 9 of 9
For any infectious condition to occur, you need to realise that
a pathogen or infectious agent needs to find some way to go from
one host to another. Otherwise that's the end of the infection.
Therefore, if you kill the microorganism, or eliminate the
method of transmission, or stop it from leaving or entering
another host, you will have either stopped it altogether or
slowed it to the point it doesn't do any more damage. And that
is the goal.
CONCLUSION
Most media attention centers around respiratory infections
because they are easily spread to unsuspecting victims. Those
who are healthy escape the statistics. Those who are weak for
whatever reason end up sick. Many get caught in this cycle of
infection unless they know what to do to help themselves. So
staff in public places such as schools, shopping centers,
offices, and many other areas watch this cycle go through their
facilities. That's why people get flu shots. It offers some
awareness.
You are reading this health related article because you are
interested in health: yours in particular. This is an important
issue. Now that you are aware of possible places to pick up
infections, plan your life a little differently. The next
meeting you attend, pay attention to who is coughing or
sneezing. Stay away from that area. Avoid places you are likely
to pick up germs. If you have to go, then take precautionary
measures to limit your risks. Avoid being in close proximity to
people who are coughing. Wash you hands frequently if you are
touching door handles, or other people's possessions. Make sure
your skin is intact. If you do have a cut, cover it and treat it
promptly and properly. Keep your immune system healthy and well
fed. Know what your entire body needs to keep you living the
life you want to live. Keep it in good working order. Plan
consciously where you go and what you might be exposed to. Don't
avoid going: just be prepared. Please avoid being a slave to
this concept and suspect an infection with every person. That is
totally unnecessarily. Do recognize the need to be careful and
if you have children, help them to develop this awareness and
some healthful habits. Your lives may depend on it. As with most
things in life, you are responsible for your self. So protect
yourself by learning these basic principles. Become aware of
your own body's needs and supply them. Participate actively in
one of the world's best wonders: your existence!

PERCEPTIONS . . . by Ken Darby
-----------------------DISCLAIMER
Some around me think I am an opinionated old goat.
Whether that be true or not I will sometimes, in this column,
talk about things people don't like to talk about - or don't want
out in the open. Take it all with a grain of salt.
Do your own thinking, and don't accept the things I say as
gospel. They are only mental meanderings from a simple soul.
-----------------------END DISCLAIMER
The U.S. Military Corrupt To The Core
The world is full of problems and difficulties, many
serious. None of them, however, scare me quite so much as
the secrecy in the U.S. Military.
The things they do in the name of “national security” are
criminal too many times. But what is worse is they are not
even honest with their supporters.
There have been reports coming out lately of women soldiers
committing suicide because of fear of rape. In fact many
women have committed suicide, not just a few.
Can you imagine what they are going through? Here they
volunteer for service and when they get to Iraq they are
being used as sex tools. Some live in such fear they think
killing themselves is better.
Apparently they can’t go to their superiors because their
superiors have that attitude “Well you volunteered for this.
You take what comes with the territory.” Moreover, the
higher command has this attitude such that for many, many
months they covered up the story.
Today I see a similar story about high command covering up
friendly fire incidents.
It is pretty clear the U.S. military is corrupt from top to
bottom. It is a society unto itself and rotten to the core.
Now, the only problem is - when will that force be turned
loose against the citizens at home? It is coming you know.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Gamut: Why do we say a person "runs the gamut" of emotions?
Because "gamma" represented the last not on Guido d"Arezzo's
musical scale and "ut" represented the first note used in
his singing scale. So, to "run the gamut" has come to mean
to run the entire scale of emotions - no matter how
represented.

The Prime Minister of China called President Bush to
console him after the attack on the pentagon:
"I'm sorry to hear about the attack. It is a very big
tragedy. But in case you are missing any documents from
the Pentagon, we have copies of everything!"
