Saturday, July 31st, 2010What is Chlamydia Infertility and infection symptoms- A Must Read
Friday, July 30th, 2010Americans coast to coast are threatened with chlamydia known to be a sexually transmitted disease that can affect fertility. Chlamydia signs are becoming fairly common in men across the US and the UK and the surge in rates are alarming. Recent researches and surveys have also revealed that nearly 10 percent of sexually active people have this disease. As the symptoms are very silent, few people can detect the onset of the decease until it is too late. Younger women at riskWomen in many parts of the world are also showing signs of the problem and they too risk fertility problems in the long run. Primarily, it is Chlamydia transmission can take place through sexual intercourse in the form of bacteria. Younger women are at risk of contracting the infection while men can experience discharge from the penis when infected. If the problem is not detected early and treated with care, it can lead to infertility as studies have shown 25 percent of fertility in women is due to Chlamydia transmission. The infection can spread silently in a woman and move through the cervix infecting the fallopian tubes that can cause inflammation of the pelvic. Common Chlamydia signs are pain during intercourse, fever and pain in the abdomen. The infection can lead to blockage of the fallopian tube leading to infertility in women. This is a common problem and a major cause of worry for women in the US and the UK. Chlamydia curable medication is being sought after as the infection can cause serious damage to the baby of the mother is affected during pregnancy. Paused on to the baby during delivery, it can effectively damage optical nerves and cause pneumonia. If the bacterium spreads to the reproductive organs, a cure can be impossible as it would be too late. It can also cause pre term delivery leading to a load of complications. Sperm quality affected in menChlamydia testing for man becomes vital as it can affect the quality and mobility of the sperm leading to infertility in men. Many men under the age of 35 can experience inflammation of the testicles and the tubes that carry sperm. Chlamydia signs in men are swelling and redness of the scrotum accompanied by excruciating pain as well. Estimates have proved that infection in men can reduce conception chances in women by a third. The disease has spread due to absence of any remarkable symptoms and men and women detect the problem when it is too late. Women don’t feel any problem even when the infection spreads from the fallopian tubes to the cervix while some others feel abdominal pain and discomfort. The earlier you can spot; the better would be your chances of treating the infection from Chlamydia to avoid infertility.
How Soon Did You Become Pregnant After Taking Clomid? ? Tips on how to Conceive and Give Birth to a Healthy Baby
Thursday, July 29th, 2010My Dr. Put me on Clomid and I went to him 5 days after the last pill for a checkup. He said he saw 3 big/mature follicles and a few normal sized ones. He said there is a chance of me having triplets if my husband’s sperm gets to those 3. I was pregnant before and miscarried at 10 weeks so I’m trying not to get too excited but I want to hear from those who’ve been on clomid. How much mg’s and how many cycles did it take?Here is one of the many questions which is asked by women who want to get pregnant and are having some kind of complication. The truth is many people really do not get pregnant with clomid. Talking as a mother of triplets, I conceived my triplets through IVF. I know many who have done it just through natural infertility cure tips and recommendations.

I know many who have lost one or all of their triplet babies due to prematurity. Mine were born 11 weeks early and spent almost 3 months in the NICU. I spent 17 weeks in hospital bed rest. I’m sorry for being such a downer; I just want to have realistic expectations.If you are struggling to get pregnant, then I suggest you try out this very good natural infertility cure guide that has been helping thousands of women round the world teaching them some unique infertility cure tips for enhancing their chances of getting pregnant.

Need to Heal your Broken Heart? Read On. Overcome Heartbreak and Learn the Illusive Secret of Happiness
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010By Carl “J.C.” Pantejo – Copyright 2007
(Author “My Friend Yu – The Prosperity Mentor,” Copyright August 2007. Pantejo – Y.N. Vurce Publishing.)
*Below is an excerpt from “My Friend Yu – The Prosperity Mentor: Book II. Release Date: December 2007/January 2008. Pantejo – Y.N. Vurce Publishing.
Being “in love” is wonderful. You smile more. You laugh spontaneously. Your step is livelier. Common, everyday things – activities you’ve done for years – seem wonderfully different. And all things are “right” in your world.
In other words, happiness is at an all-time high.
Then something happens…
…If you are heartbroken, if you are hurting, angry, depressed, or feel like everything doesn’t matter anymore, utterly hopeless, I truly empathize. Believe me, I’ve been there.
Heartbreak – the dark, soul-wrenching, and debilitating type – is not something I would wish upon anyone! It can paralyze and taint our minds with all things negative.
But there is hope. Really. And I urge you to read on.
Let me share some powerful thoughts with you; thoughts that helped me recover and heal my broken heart; thoughts that rebuilt my inner world; thoughts that nourished my self-esteem, reinstated my faith in the people around me and the world, and most importantly, allowed me to be able to love again.
- Heartbreak -
Maybe you spent weeks or even months secretly admiring someone from afar and finally summoned up the courage to ask her/him out – only to be flat out rejected
Maybe your lover does something ugly, abusive, or insensitive.
What if, with or without warning, your partner abandons you?
Maybe all was going well; then suddenly, a freak accident, war, or natural disaster takes the life of your partner – leaving you shocked, bewildered, and heartbroken.
What if your partner is stricken with an incurable illness?
Supposedly, the death of a loved one via a slow, chronic disease process gives you time to prepare for the inevitable heartbreak. There’s time to talk – whether she/he is coherent or not. When death finally comes, you’re supposed to tell yourself that the suffering has ended and she/he has gone to a better place.
But in my personal experience, the heartbreak is no less severe.
Anyway you put it, heartbreak sucks!
Why does it feel so bad? Because we suffer from severe withdrawal symptoms. The good, positive, and happy things in our lives; things that we thought we deserved, things that we counted on to be there (and enjoy) forever are taken away.
Emotionally and physically, we had grown accustomed to, looked forward to, and expected the wonderful, positive feelings and intimacies we used to share with our partner.
And now they’re gone.
Sometimes this happens abruptly; sometimes it’s a slow, painful process of your partner slipping away a little more each day. You try to stop it, but you know that you can’t make anyone do anything if they really don’t want to do it.
You feel helpless. You acquiesce. You demand. You cry. You scream. Sometimes, you destroy things, yourself, or other people.
Sadly, in spite of your uneducated efforts, the breakup occurs, and the heartbreak monster quickly begins to sit on your chest; sending nasty and ugly thoughts into your mind via its long, hideous tentacles.
In the case of a lost lover, your mind plays tricks on you. You start catching glimpses of your Ex in public everywhere! A familiar song triggers another flood of tears. You feel like nothing will ever fill the void left by the person you’ve spent so much of your life and emotions on.
You try to distract yourself with activities and friends, but it’s futile. The more you try to forget, the more you remember. You feel like “half a person” and you wonder if you’ll ever be “whole” again.
You are at the mercy of the ebb and flow of your self-pity and/or rage. Your self-esteem and self-control take wild, see-saw swings, moving from one extreme to the other because of some sensory trigger (i.e., something you see, hear, taste, smell, or touch reminds you of your loss); or sometimes, for no apparent reason, a grief session strikes totally at random.
After each wave of tearful convulsions, instead of feeling free, you feel more exhausted and forlorn.
Sometimes you’re strong. Sometimes you’re weak. Sometimes it’s easy (especially during the day when you’re busy at work) to resist contacting your Ex. But when things are quiet and you’re alone, the temptation is so strong!
Resist it. In your hurt state, it will only prolong the healing process.
Other people will keep saying that “time will heal your wounds” and that you’ll find someone else. But while in the depths of heartbreak, none of that advice is comforting. You appreciate your friends’ kind sympathies, but let’s face it, when you’re actively experiencing heartbreak, their advice – no matter how sound it is, seems like a drop of ineffective medicine in the ocean of your sadness.
The experience of heartbreak is truly the antithesis of being “in love.”
The feelings of immense loss, sadness, depression, and anger can be overwhelming.
It took me years of mistakes and a long track record of heartbreaks to finally realize that I was pretty stupid on this subject. I admitted to myself that all my personal methods of coping were inevitably ineffective and usually destructive (to me or to someone else).
I needed knowledge and insight. And I needed it badly!
I did several internet searches on “healing, treatment, heartbreak, heartbroken, etc.” and spent days reading countless articles and references about broken hearts and recommended remedies.
Some articles were obviously from spurned lovers who were still angry and venting. Many articles were spiritual. Other articles gave stringent, cookbook instructions that sounded more academic – almost sterile, than practical.
For me, heartbreak – and how to recover from it – has been a long time coming. I tried all the recommended practices:
I re-experienced the bad feelings and let myself cry – something not easy for a man. I had to find secluded places or people I was comfortable with and could trust. Then I cried like a baby.
I tried to distract myself with other activities.
I made a list of all the bad things my Ex-lover did and tried to remember them whenever I was lonely and wrestling with the idea of contacting her again.
I wrote an unsent grief letter to my Ex, reading it many times a week to nurture any fledgling feelings of strength and recovery.
I made a list of our good times, trying to appreciate the joy and lessons learned from the relationship.
Unfortunately, these and other conventional practices didn’t work for me. I still felt crappy, empty.
I desperately waited for “The Sign” – the feeling that I’ll finally be alright; the belief in my innate worthiness; the feeling of certainty, direction, and confidence; and most importantly, the feeling that love will enter my life again.
But, after all my attempts at fixing my broken heart in the normal ways failed, I still felt bad, like it was so hopeless.
Here I was: miserably heartbroken, missing all the feelings of being in love, and impervious to the treatments, normal practices, and recommendations for healing in such situations.
It’s taken many heartbreaks (and even more mistakes at trying to cope) to finally realize that I needed to learn better ways to recover, to get over it permanently.
Finally, after reading, reading, and more reading, the veil of mystery over heartbreak and its cure was slowly being lifted.
- The Only Thing That Worked For Me. And It Can Work For You! -
Let me share with you the only way I’ve found to cure my own broken heart.
Please read it slowly and carefully. Read it a few times. Commit it to memory. Remember it, especially when you feel a wave of negative emotion ready to engulf you again. Use it to prevent any potential relapses of self-pity or rage.
Here goes…
In order to take back control of your emotions (and life), you need to learn what the cause of being “in love” is. Only then can you understand what being “in love” really is. These are the first steps in effectively making your way back to happy living.
- The Cause of Being “In Love” -
Realize this: “You Can’t Be “In Love” Unless YOU Love!”
In other words: IT IS YOU THAT CAUSES YOUR OWN FEELINGS OF BEING IN LOVE – NO ONE ELSE. PERIOD. NOTHING OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF CAUSES YOUR OWN FEELINGS. YOU CAN’T BE “IN LOVE” UNLESS YOU ARE LOVING.
Think of it. It is the person doing the loving that experiences the feelings of being “in love.” If you don’t think of a person in a loving way, you don’t get the feelings of being “in love.”
Skeptical?
- Just Another Person In The Elevator -
Imagine this. You are in a public elevator with a stranger. Automatically, you immediately make an assessment and quickly register your impressions of this stranger in your mind.
You decide that 1) she/he is not a threat, 2) is not particularly attractive or unattractive, and 3) that you can quit the evaluation and move on with your day. In short, the other person is neutral; just another person in the elevator.
Are you “in love” with this person, the neutral stranger? Of course not! Why? BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE NOT TO THINK OF THAT PERSON IN A LOVING WAY.
Do you get my point? Believe it or not, you have total control of your love and feelings of being “in love.”
This fact escaped me for decades. It’s still a mystery to most people.
The majority of people in the world believe that love emanates from outside themselves. They give away their powerful, personal gift of choice; letting other people control them.
I know what you’re saying. If healing a broken heart was as simple as choosing to feel loving or not loving, why doesn’t everyone do it?
Many reasons. First, the victim mentality runs rampant in our world. It is in every place, community, and society. It is easy. It relinquishes responsibility and falsely places the blame on someone else. It is common; and therefore, easy to find others to commiserate with. It doesn’t take any courage to be a victim.
Secondly, we are conditioned from an early age by many stories of love and romance written in the past that we can’t choose who we fall in love with. It’s as though we are all just fish that get “hooked” on someone. We fall into the “love trap” and can’t (or won’t) try to climb out. In short, almost everyone thinks love and being “in love” is fatalistic, not within the control of the individual participants.
Lastly, since loving and being “in love” is such a special, highly personal experience, many people think they’re alone – both during the happiness of love (AND during the sadness of heartbreak).
The feeling is so unique, that they feel like the experience of this kind of special love will never happen again.
What happens next? They cling desperately to the relationship, even if it’s obviously destructive in other people’s eyes. They feel inadequate and suspicious. They continually search for clues of infidelity. If none are found, they often manufacture them.
Instead of concentrating on building a loving relationship, they unconsciously sabotage themselves.
This is a recipe for failure, heartbreak, and unhappiness. It’s an attempt to break the following unbreakable Universal Law:
WHAT YOU RESIST, PERSISTS. AND YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU FEAR.
In other words, the fear of breakup will always lead to the breakup.
How do you prevent this? FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT, NOT WHAT YOU LOST OR DON’T WANT. For example, a fat person cannot get in shape if she/he keeps thinking about how fat she/he is. A poor man cannot get rich if he keeps thinking about how broke he is. And a lover who wants to have a great relationship cannot achieve it if she/he keeps thinking about how it will come to an end.
If you want a happy, loving life again, instead of thinking about how heartbroken you are, THINK ABOUT HOW HAPPY YOUR FUTURE IS.
Let go of the past hurt. The past is past.
In the case of a broken heart, you can never fully recover until you quit being a victim, realize that love and the feelings of love is UNDER YOUR CONTROL, and be certain that YOU ARE AT CAUSE. It’s you, not anybody else that feeds the heartbreak monster.
Think again. Think hard!
When two people are together and one person is in love, who is doing the loving? Who is not doing the loving? Who will be (or not be) heartbroken if the relationship ends?
- You Cannot Be “In Love” Unless You are Loving -
Read this again: YOU CANNOT BE “IN LOVE” UNLESS YOU ARE LOVING.
This Life Truth, this Universal Law, operates whether you are conscious of it or not.
From the beginning of time, whether accidentally or by design, people have enjoyed the results or suffered the consequences, of following or going against this law. The Law is eternal and the cause and effects will never change.
I’m not saying to never to love again. I’m not espousing the hermit lifestyle. To be reclusive is to shut out all the natural wonders of the world and to block life’s greatest gift – LOVE – from your life.
But what I am saying is this: LOVE YOURSELF FIRST. That’s right. Love yourself. Be your own best friend. Accept your weaknesses to fully celebrate your special gifts and unique talents. It is all you. Love all of it. Look in the mirror each morning and say that you are becoming your own hero.
Loving yourself attracts others who will love you. You become a magnet for positive, beautiful people. Those people can and will love you in a way you’ve never been loved before. Those people will feel safe, comfortable, and excited to be around you.
This is because you have finally learned “The Illusive Secret of Happiness.”
- What is “The Illusive Secret of Happiness”? -
The “Illusive Secret of Happiness” is this:
YOU DON’T NEED ANYTHING EXTERNAL, ANYTHING OR ANYONE OUTSIDE YOURSELF, TO BE HAPPY AND LOVING.
Once you realize this profound insight, you don’t pressure other people (or external events) to “make” you happy. You are free to love abundantly. The more love you share unconditionally, the more love you attract.
You then have the ability to FORGIVE TOTALLY. You forgive yourself and you forgive all who have wronged you in the past. You do this for yourself, not for the wrongdoers. With each act of forgiveness, you feel lighter, happier, and stronger to love even more!
It’s a great, never-ending cycle that can’t be adequately described in words. You’ve got to feel it to believe it.
My personal description? It’s a delicious feeling. It’s the feeling I get when I see the first sun’s rays on my beautiful girlfriend’s lovely face. Then I thank my lucky stars (that is, I AM UTTERLY GRATEFUL) that I am me and I have the opportunity to love her.
This is the last, but not least ingredient for healing a broken heart and being happy – GRATEFULNESS.
BE THANKFUL. BE TRULY GRATEFUL. THANK THE (UNIVERSE, GOD, THE INFINITE INTELLIGENCE, ETC.) FOR ALL THE LOVE AND HAPPINESS IN YOUR LIFE.
This automatically attracts more of the same!
This I choose to do.
The fact that I know that it’s my choice to love that causes my feelings of being “in love” doesn’t lessen the joy of the experience. I observe AND fully enjoy the joy, the wonder of each loving moment.
So if you’re suffering from heartbreak, find comfort in the words of this article.
(I recommend that you copy the following affirmations into another document, print it out, and post it in plain sight. Or privately, keep them handy in your purse or wallet. Read them AND FEEL THEM several times a day. It will instantly make you happier and stronger).
1. I AM AT CAUSE. I CAUSE MY OWN FEELINGS OF BEING IN LOVE – NO ONE ELSE DOES THIS FOR ME, BUT ME. PERIOD.
2. I HAVE THE POWER TO CONTROL AND CHANGE ANY FEELINGS I HAVE. I CHOOSE MY THOUGHTS WELL.
3. I KNOW THAT I HAVE TO BE LOVING TO FEEL “IN LOVE.” (CONVERSELY, I CAN’T BE “IN LOVE” UNLESS I AM LOVING).
4. ANYTHING I RESIST, PERSISTS. AND I ATTRACT WHAT I FEAR. I NOW FOCUS ON WHAT I WANT, NOT WHAT I THINK I LOST OR DON’T WANT.
5. I NOW LET GO OF THE PAST. THE PAST IS PAST. I MOVE ON. I’M OVER IT.
6. I FORGIVE, FORGIVE, AND FORGIVE!
7. I SMILE ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I KNOW “THE ILLUSIVE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.” IT’S ALL UP TO ME. I DON’T NEED ANYTHING EXTERNAL, ANYTHING OR ANYONE OUTSIDE MYSELF, TO BE HAPPY AND LOVING.
8. I AM THANKFUL, TRULY GRATEFUL. I THANK THE (UNIVERSE, GOD, THE INFINITE INTELLIGENCE, ETC.) FOR ALL THE LOVE AND HAPPINESS IN MY LIFE. I KNOW IT ATTRACTS MORE OF THE SAME INTO MY LIFE.
Wishing you more Living, Loving, Laughing, Learning, and Legacy building – It’s what you were meant to do…
Extra! Extra! Read All About Car History!
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010Model cars have been around for quite some time. Even I have to admit going through the phase of putting them together. Even as I write this, I can think of a few of the boxed sets that I would love to pick up from the shelves at the local store and piece together bit by bit. I also have to admit that my patience was never good. But, as with any other thing I have ever collected, there was one thing I always did. I always sought to learn the origin of that item. What’s its history? When did people start collecting them? Maybe I wanted to see if my elders were collecting some of the same things, or sometimes I might just have been looking to see how old a hobby mine was. Never the less, everything has a history and the model cars and the collection of them is no different. So where did it begin? Keep reading!
Birth of Model Cars
In the early 1900s not so long after the first real car was introduced, Germany started producing what would become noted as the first model car. Back then, since it was around the time of war, the only people who could really afford these toys were the sons of rich businessmen. These cars were called tin plate models. The first Die cast ones though, did not come about until the late 1920s or the early 1930s. By 1950 toy companies in Japan were producing these goods.
Model Cars Go Mainstream
The model car making companies went through a dry spell in the 1960s as it cost too much to produce these things. It wasn’t the products that were costing so much; it was the cost of employment that brought the slow down of producing these models. Today everyone loves to collect these old models more than when they first came out. Many companies closed down, while some switched to newer products that were either made of plastic or they later switched to the newer radio controlled cars. By the end of the craze, there were only four countries still producing the kits. They were United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy. As time went on, each company added more and more details to their models.
Transitioning to the Modern Era
Then in 1970, Italy burst onto the model scene with a bang. They lowered their prices, but still produced luxurious cars. They added more detail. Everyone was flocking to this brand. This brought more adults into the scene as it became more complicated to put the models together. By the 1980’s and the 1990s, these manufacturers went out west where it was cheaper to produce. More markets were set up. And now, with the progression of the World Wide Web, you can even buy these babies online!
The model car has come a long way. It has helped some kids bond with fathers as the boom of adding more detail to each models was implemented. Cars can be painted any color you want them to be. And recently, the United States created companies to produce these collectable toys as well. Making them a great trademark that continues to be some people’s favorite past times. Young and old and male and female are taking pride in the time and dedication it takes to put them together.
Mn Lawn Care Tips – Great Lawns In Minnesota Start With Early Care
Monday, July 26th, 2010
Everybody has seen it. It doesn’t take an expert to drive through a neighborhood and spot the house that obsesses on their yard (in fact, it might be they do!) and the house that only mows when the city is knocking on their door. In Minnesota, most people get excited when the snow starts to melt and the grass starts getting green. So, what should you do to give your lawn a head start? You do want a beautiful lawn without devoting your entire summer to it, right?
A lot of people suggest getting your lawn ready for spring before the first snowfall…but of course time gets away from a lot of people. So, here are some tips for those who weren’t able to find time to baby their yard before the snow came.
1. When most of the snow has melted, get your wheelbarrow out and start picking up the debris left behind from the fall and anything the snowplows may have thrown into your lawn. You will want to get your rake out so that you get all of the twigs, branches, leaves, etc. that are in the yard. (This will also make it easier to mow when it comes time for that!)
2. Then get out your shovel (hopefully for the last time) and flatten out any piles that are taking longer to melt. They might be lining your sidewalk from shoveling previously or in areas that don’t get as much sun. Why? While the extra snow shouldn’t kill the grass, it might stunt the growth and that won’t make for a superb lawn.
3. Fertilizing in the spring. I am a firm believer that it is easier to start a nice lawn early than it is to bring a dull lawn back to life in midsummer. So, go to the local hardware store and search for a fertilizer for the spring (it should say when to use the specific mixtures on the back). Remember not to over fertilize because this can actually cause more harm to the grass than good, so read the directions thoroughly.
4. Attend to any lawn problems you had last year. Did you have crabgrass (or any other nuisance) invade your yard last summer? It is vital to stop these annoyances before they can get started. Some, including crabgrass, have a very limited timeframe to be taken care of each year. (See my other articles regarding this)
5. Areas of patchy grass? I like to use a method called “overseeding.” This is when you put down a lot of grass seed in the patchy areas. It will make your grass grow faster and stronger, and of course you will have a much fuller looking lawn! Don’t do this too early…the grass seed you choose should have directions for when to plant it!
So, there you have it! Some early spring lawn care tips for my Minnesota people! This might not make your lawn the nicest on the block in one summer, but if you follow these steps every spring, your yard will eventually be one of the best! MN Lawn Care made easy!

Role Models for Baby Boomer Generation
Friday, July 23rd, 2010Professor Hasan A. Yahya
A proverb says: “Tell me what you read, I tell who you are”. This morning, it came to me the idea to write about the persons who influenced me as an intellectual person from baby boomers generation, believes in freedom, justice, and human rights. Those I read or know about through my young life as a high school student, and afterwards as a teacher and TV employee and were role models, formulating my life. I was connected mentally and politically with five great persons: Mao Zedong of China, Jamal Abdul-Nassir of Egypt, Che Guevara of Cuba, and Dwight Eisenhower, and John F, Kennedy of the USA. All were living in my time between 1950 to 1975.
In 1956, the school attended a film at Zarqa-Jordan. The film was about King Hussein of Jordan to the USA visit. When Eisenhower was president. The first time I heard about America. That memory remained in my mind and pushed me all times to achieve my stay in life at the United States of America. It’s too strange for a 11 years old person to love America from that time.
My mentality still follow their steps in looking to the world. Where justice, identity, and dignity are most important for people everywhere. From Mao I learned that one person can make the difference, from Jamal Abdul-Nassir I learned to be an Arab over national identity, as Jordanian by passport, or Palestinian by birth. From Guevara, I learned to stand against Capitalist exploitation of poor countries. Finally, I learned from John F. Kennedy the decision making to reach justice no matter the cost, which he paid his life for that cause. And Eisenhower, I learned to love America.
Other personalities I admired and my life was influenced by them and play in my mind as role models, felt proud in their times and mine to know are: Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali Klay and Malolm X, While the three were non-white, they have similar qualities of the previous persons. Other personality I was fond to read for was two western philosophers: Both British: George Bernard Shaw, and Bertrand Russell (later on the second became American). They all look for what the author was looking for in his early years, justice, identity, and dignity of human being.
While more than forty years passed on the absence of these persons, their ideas and spirit still live with the author, and show in his writings and beliefs. I did not meet any of them except Muhammad Ali Klay, the heavy weight Champ, whom I met in Kuwait, I was the program coordinator, for Kuwait TV, in 1969 where my office was close to the studio where his interview took place. The authorities in Kuwait were planning a friendly match for him, with local boxers. I asked him to sign for my one year son small book. He was young, energetic, proud, and a winner. He took the book and signed his name. He was in fact my role model to stand tall for difficulties of life, career, and challenges. Unfortunately, the signature was lost with the small book, after leaving Kuwait in 1982 for good.
I live in Malcolm X’s Lansing city, and graduated from Michigan State University. I knew Malcolm X through the film depicting his life, as well as his biography book tiled: Malcolm X.
In Arabic literature, I was familiar with writings of Tawfiq al-Hakim, Taha Hussein, Mahmoud al-Aqqad, Al-Manfaluti, Ihsan Abdul-Qaddos, Ghassan Kanafani, Gibran Khalil Gibran, and Nagib Mahfouz. Special interest was with Du’a al-Karawan of Taha Hussein, Qandil Um Hashim of Yahya Haqqi, and al-Liss wal-Kilab of Mahfouz. Fortunately most of them were social scientists (Sociologists) influenced me to choose sociology as well as administration as my career. From Arab poets, Ahmad Shawqi, Hafiz Ibrahim, Abdul-Rahim Mahmoud, Nizar Qabbani, Abul-Qasim al-Shabbi and Ibrahim Tuqan.
From Old poets, Emri’ al-Qays, Tarafa bin al-Abd, Antarah bin Shaddad, abul-Ala’ al-Ma’rri, Bashar bin Burd, and Abu al-Tayyib al-Mutanabbi.
From old writers: al-Jahiz, al-Ghazali, al-Kalil bin Ahmad, Ibn Khaldun, Ibn Tufail, Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd.
My background readings almost all of the above and try to be like them through life, Iam becoming an encyclopedia in almost all fields of knowledge.
My role models from religious leaders and Prophets, Jesus, Joseph, Muhammad (PBUT) and Umar bin al-Khattab (RD).
However, other persons I liked in my young years and still like them, I grew up on two sources of media through Egyptian and American films. I was fond to see American films between (1957-1965) From actors, I still remember Victor Mature, in Samsun the Great, Spartacus, the Slave casting Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis, Jerry Louise. James Dean, Dean Martin, and Henri Bogart, Rock Hudson, and John Wayne, and the cast of the serial Roots, about Black history.
Other literature and novel writers Albert Camus (al-Bu’asa’), Henrik Ebsen (The Toy), Leo Tolstoy (War and Peace),Jean Jacquues Rousseau Ernest Hemingway, Jean Poll Sartre, William Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw and series of detective Arsine Lapin. In addition to Bertrand Russell, Karl Marx, and Karl Manheim in later years.
From Arab actors, I was fond of Farid Shawqi, Rushdie Abaza, Umar al-Sherif, Ahmad Ramzi, Emad Hamdi, Anwar Wajdi, Abdul-Mun’im Madbuly, Ismael Yasin, Adel Imam, and Muhammad Sobhi beside many others. From Arab celebrities singers, I was fond of Arab singers, Farid al-Atrash, Muhammad Abdul-Wahhab and Abdul-Halim Hafiz. From Arab actresses and singers, Fatin Hamamh, Shadia, Najwa fuad, Najat al-Saghira, Warda, after the unforgettable voices: Umm Kalthum, Asmahan, and Layla Murad.
From politicians, one in particular was a role model for me too, King Hussein of Jordan, whom I met several times during my high school years and after. He’s the only leader which I have a picture with in 1964 when I was a member in Hussein Camps which he initiated for the youth, and when was the secretary of the first Boy-Scout Committee for Zarqa District.
These great persons in addition to the ones I wrote about them, Muhammad, Ibn Sina, Solomon Asch, Stanley Milgram, Charles Darwin, and Ibn Rushd constitute the role model not only for the author but to his generation as well. Therefore they will be covered soon under: Persons I Admire series. (1051 words) www.hasanyahya.com
Baby Boomer’s Brain–5 Memory Tips
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Do you ever wonder if you are in the early stages of Alzheimer’s or some other dementia? Do you worry that you are losing your memory, and don’t know what to do about it?
Since university, I love studying and learning more about the brain – our most complicated and sophisticated organ. Two years ago, my husband, Dave, was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia. So far, scientists haven’t found a cure or a way to manage this debilitating brain condition. This really motivates me to learn as much as I can about optimizing our brain’s potential. I have 5 simple tips to share with you…
#1. Increase your Fitness
Every time you move your body and raise your heart rate, it increases blood flow to the brain and produces endorphins. Not only are endorphins 50 times more potent than any pain medication, but they also help you feel better. A happier and calmer mind produces lower amounts of the stress hormone, cortisol ( found in high quantities in Alzheimer’s disease). When your mind is quiet, you will retrieve information from your brain more easily. Your immune system is stronger, minimizing your risk of developing degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Doing a variety of activities – at least 30 minutes, 5-7 days a week – stimulates brain growth, reduces boredom and keeps injury rate down.
#2 Good Nutrition
Do you ever hear the expression…”you are what you eat’?
While researching natural remedies for my rising blood sugars and pressure, I discovered that low-glycemic carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, grains) are key. They reduce sugar crashes, and cravings throughout the day; stabilize moods; boosts energy, and takes away the ‘fuzzy’ mind at the end of a work day. To maintain a constant energy level, eat smaller meals and snacks 5 times a day.
The brain requires a balance of: 1. carbohydrates for energy; 2. good fats (omega 3- salmon, almonds, avocados) to nourish brain tissue (brain is 60% fat by solid weight); 3. protein (lean meats, soy, legumes, nuts) for balancing blood sugars, and building our neurotransmitters – serotonin and dopamine, for mood control. High fiber foods-grains and nuts – are also critical.
The debate over nutritional supplements is ongoing. More research is supporting the benefits of a good multivitamin/mineral to reduce oxidative stresses and to fill the gaps in our diet. Ginkgo biloba, which increases blood flow to the brain, has also been suggested.
Did you know that the brain is 80% water? By drinking 6-10 glasses of water throughout the day, you will feel less fatigue and ‘foggy’ brain moments. Limiting coffee (dehydrating) to 1-2 cups/day, and alcohol, which damages brain tissue, are a good idea.
#3 Brain Exercises
Our brain has a ‘plasticity’ switch – very active in children. When you learn new skills and tasks, it increases the activity in the hippocampus or memory areas. Adults have a tendency to develop routines – drive the same way to work, have tedious jobs, regular daily habits etc.
Turning on this plasticity switch is as easy as brushing your hair or teeth with non-dominant hand; playing a new sport; taking music lessons or using your creativity in a craft. Other ways to stimulate brain cells – puzzles (crosswords, Sudoku, jigsaw); doing simple math, such as mentally adding up your grocery bill while standing in a line-up, or counting backwards from 100 by 2; reading; playing cards; board games…the list is endless.
#4 Meditate, Yoga, Journal
Calming your mind allows you to live in the ‘present’ moment. There are no worries in this moment, allowing you to feel happier and seeing more of the beauty around you.
Meditating (10-20 minutes/day) is relaxing and clears the pathways for information to flow through your mind effortlessly.
Yoga teaches deep, diaphragmatic breathing – increasing oxygen supply to your body and improving lymph flow, which carries away toxins.
Gratitude journal (writing 5 things you are grateful for every day) helps to focus more on the ‘abundance’ in your life. According to the Universal Law of Attraction – whatever you predominantly think about, you will attract more of it.
#5 Have Fun – Laugh
More than once, I have heard that I am the average of the 5 people whom I spend the most time with. Everyone emits energy – some people are more positive than others. If you want to feel happier and energized, spend time with friends who are more optimistic, and fun to be with. It is refreshing to watch children play and laugh. Why do we have to give that up just because we are grown-ups?
Laughing releases endorphins…happy mind = healthy brain.
It is difficult not to continue writing more tips – such as sleeping 6-8 hours/night (I couldn’t resist adding another one) – but I will save those for another time. The number of baby boomers diagnosed with early onset (before age 65) Alzheimer’s and dementia is rising steadily every year. The good news…research and personal experience are showing that, regardless of our age, we can do something to raise the lid on our brain’s potential.
It takes 21 days to establish a habit. Why not start weaving some of these tips into your life today?
