ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
Who was "Protean Man"?
"Protean Man," or "l'homme prote," was a man living in
late-nineteenth-century France who had exceptional control
over all his muscles and could perform several astounding
feats. He could protrude or distort any part of himself at
will, could distend his abdomen to create the appearance of
obesity or draw it in until he appeared as thin as a
skeleton. He could also harden the muscles of his stomach so
that he could be hit with a hammer and not recoil. Protean
Man was also said to be able to control the beating of his
own heart.
Why does Michelangelo's "Moses" have horns?
Michelangelo's famous statue of Moses has horns protruding
from his head, making him appear almost devilish. Why is
this? Well, the Bible describes Moses with horns. The
problem is, it's a translation error. In Hebrew, the words
for "horn" and "ray of light" are spelled the same way.

but never taking a chance is the most successful.

Optimize Life Now™ . . . with Dr. Rhoberta Shaler

Be Different
To what extent are YOU making choices about your activities,
your values and your attitudes rather than being affected,
and thus controlled, by what others may think? It is
difficult to be a real power performer if you think it is
important to behave like everyone else.
Do you back down because some folks do not agree with what
you want to do? Being confident in your ideas and your
ability to think them through is the starting place for
innovation. Who do you ask when you have a new and, maybe,
different idea? Do you go to someone who is likely to agree
with you, or someone who is likely to tell you that you are
mistaken? Do you want to be supported…or stopped??? Many
people count on others to keep them from turning in new
directions or taking new risks. What is your pattern?
The extent to which other people affect you is important to
examine. Some people are very dependent on those around
them and are greatly influence by the moods, attitudes and
opinions of others. Others keep their own counsel and are
empathetic to others while remaining true to themselves.
This is preferable, isn't it? Keep friends around you who
will ask you good questions and show interest in your ideas
rather than giving you their judgments and raining on your
parade. Sure, you may want their opinions to consider.
That's helpful to your thinking. It's the folks who believe
that their opinions are "facts" that are the difficulty.
Surround yourself with people who are living fully and pull
each other in the direction of your dreams. The extent to
which you feel that you control your future is the measure
of what you will get out of life. To some folks, life is
like the weather--it just happens to them, and they think
they have no control. Really, though, life is a majestic
journey, an exciting adventure, that you orchestrate and
direct by the hundreds of choices you make every day.
Keep it in mind!

Could Your Blood Pressure Be Too Low?
A Plea For Some Common Sense: Some Sanity
PART 12 of 12
When you spot a potential problem, take them to your primary
care physician. They should have your best interest at
heart. They should be seeing your entire body: not just one
segments of it. If you are still reluctant to ask your
doctor, and that happens often, ask yourself why you went in
the first place. Were the symptoms bad enough for you to
seek help? Has anything changed so you can now cope? If not,
have some courage and seek other help. But in the meantime,
you might also find other possible ways of coping with your
original symptoms. There is a lot of research and many books
that can help with non-drug or chemical treatments. It might
mean a change in diet, a bit more exercise, an avoidance of
sugars, diet products, plus other things. You don’t need to
join a gym if you can walk a round your house, walk the
stairs a bit more, or simply park further from the shopping
center entrances. If you have low blood pressure, mild
exercise is great to help you bring extra oxygen to your
body! Wash your car (and mine) a bit oftener. Walk two
floors. It might take a bit extra time, but it feels good.
Just by reading to this point, you can’t help but have
learned a lot about drug interactions and possible low blood
pressure. A few lifestyle changes, including finding courage
to make some enquiries, could make an amazing change in your
health!
I am reluctant to add something of serious importance to an
already overloaded health article, but you might also start
looking at your environment. Often it gives a hint of things
you are exposed to “generally”. Many respiratory problems
start here. Then you get drugs, and it adds to your body’
workload of trying to get them out. Your body is always
trying to protect you from anything that is not “natural” to
it. You might want to read this article:
http://www.menieres-disease.ca/whats-new/200510.htm. But
that so-called allergy can also cause your blood pressure to
increase and now you are given a drug for that. Get the
picture? Incidentally, for many of the conditions where
drugs are prescribed, often a very effective “non-chemical”
treatment is available. Water is the very best natural
diuretic. Your body craves it and it doesn’t cause
hypotension or hypertension.
My personal thought always is” “if I mixed all these
chemicals in a laboratory, what could happen?” Might your
body be a living laboratory? I am going to conclude by
restating the signs of low blood pressure and the effects
they could have on you. Hypotension, or low blood pressure,
means that the pressure of blood circulating around the body
is lower than normal, or lower than expected. You may have
low blood pressure compared to others of similar physical
characteristics, but be perfectly healthy. Low blood
pressure is only a problem if you experience negative
symptoms. For example, vital organs (particularly the brain)
may be starved of oxygen and nutrients if your blood
pressure is too low. Your symptoms could include
lightheadedness, when standing from a sitting or lying
position, unsteadiness, dizziness, weakness, blurred vision,
fatigue, and fainting. Usually, low blood pressure develops
over time. Realise that you are in control, of your health,
your decisions, your symptoms, and any actions you are
prepared to take to deal with them. Does this sound like any
experiences you might have had? Please learn from this, but
do NOT make ANY changes without a medical practioner
supervising your actions. Doctors assume that you will
follow their instructions. They base their future advice and
decisions on this knowledge.

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
There is a potpourri in the news today. I see most newspapers in
Iran are state controlled. Fear is their taskmaster and they feel that
any news that doesn't meet their particular model should be withheld.
That is the price of not having the confidence your truth will meet
the standards held up by your Maker. All man wants under these
conditions is control of others so they can control the riches.
There are similar things happening in the U.S. only by different means.
Apparently there are groups attempting to get the internet customers
to pay for different levels of service, the paying customers getting better
service than the non paying. It's all about greed folks. It's the childhood
disease of gimme, gimme, gimme.
The same greed and unwillingness to change is forcing us into the
disastrous results of global warming. Scientists have almost universally
been warning us of the terrible effects of the "greenhouse effect" and yet
we carry on in our lives as if nothing is happening. We are not slowing
down on the production of greenhouse gasses. We are not slowing down
on the global cut/slash/burn destruction of our forests, that vegetation that
produces oxygen for our consumption. We continue to approve the
development of subdivisions and we call it growth. In the meantime that
growth removes trees, forests, farmland.
The legacy we are leaving for our children and grandchildren will
be cruel and unwieldy. Our greed for more or man made wealth will
kill our young.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Oil on Troubled Waters: What is the reason we speak of
pacifying someone as "pouring oil on troubled waters"?
Because it's a scientific fact that oil poured on a rough
sea will lessen the waves. benjamin Franklin, on hearing
this Biblical phrase repeated, decided to test its literal
truth. He poured oil on the ocean and found the waves were
considerably reduced.

and he sits down.
