Blood Pressure and Protect Your Heart

Know your blood pressure and protect your heart
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
About 35 million American women have high blood pressure; a third don't know it
Forty-three percent of African-American women have hypertension
Weight loss, excercise and cutting salt in diet can help lower blood pressure

By Nancy Larson


High blood pressure is truly a silent killer. In fact, a heart attack or stroke may be the first sign that you even have a problem. That's why it's so important to get your blood pressure checked every time you go to the doctor -- especially if you're a woman.


High blood pressure can lead to stroke, kidney problems, heart trouble and other conditions.

About 35 million American women have high blood pressure, and a third of them don't know it. In part, experts say, the increase comes just because women are living longer and doctors are paying more attention to the problem. But less-benign factors -- such as the exploding use of anti-inflammatory medicines (which make your body retain salt) and ever-increasing waistlines -- may be at play in what the American Heart Association calls a rise in uncontrolled hypertension in women.

Fortunately, there are many ways to control your blood pressure, even without medication. And just knowing your numbers is half the battle, says Dan Jones, M.D., president of the AHA. But that doesn't mean fighting high blood pressure is a cinch. Here are the stories of three women whose high blood pressure took them by surprise. Think about them the next time that cuff goes around your arm.

Erin O'Connell Peiffer, 45

While Peiffer exper ienced hypertension during all three of her pregnancies, her blood pressure always returned to normal after each birth. Later, as she juggled working and caring for her young children, the thin, nonsmoking telecommunications executive who lives outside of Baltimore, Maryland, considered herself healthy (except for her high cholesterol). Then one day about seven years ago, she couldn't stop coughing during a water aerobics class. A month later, she was shocked to find out that she had congestive heart failure and pulmonary edema, or swelling of the lungs. High blood pressure was behind the problems. Following open-heart surgery to repair a 99 percent blockage in her left main coronary artery, Peiffer was terminated from her job because of her illness and went on disability. She hasn't worked in seven years because of chronic chest pain and other conditions. Learn some tricks to lower your blood pressure

Looking back, she remembers that in her 20s, her blood pressure was elevated when she was first found to have high cholesterol. "They said it was white-coat hypertension [the idea that just being in a medical office can drive blood pressure up]," Peiffer says. "No one said, 'Hey, you need to exercise,' or anything." So she didn't. Now she's on two blood pressure medications -- an ACE inhibitor that lowers levels of blood vessel-tightening chemicals and a beta-blocker that slows heart rate -- and her pressure's normal. Daily two-mile walks help, too. "Get a baseline number, and keep an eye on it," she says. "Take care of yourself first so you can be there to take care of your children."

郵局誌(二)


時間來到了當日下午2點35分,號碼叫到了255號,當我右手邊的小姐正在2號窗口辦理時,另一名年約25、26的女子自稱她是255號,又說她在40分鐘前就打來電話問:輪到她了沒?

我因為正站在櫃檯前扶起那A4紙的三行詩並把它恢復它原來的站姿,以便有趣的詩可讓大家共賞,而恰巧站在正牌的255號隔壁。

正牌的255號,那傻蛋,對這樣突如其來,莫名其妙的事,一時反應不過來,不知所措的站在櫃檯前,一句話也沒說。

我只聽到櫃檯內的戴眼鏡小帥哥和冒牌的妙齡女子說:「如果她讓妳先辦,我就先辦妳的。」

這時候我已經不想管三行詩了,也無心管了,我可排了快一個鐘頭了,且全程用高跟鞋站著等。我問我隔壁的傻帽兒妳是幾號?她回我話說:255號。我又問了櫃檯內戴眼鏡小帥哥:機器會跑出兩張255號嗎?他說:只會有1張255號。緊接著我對妙齡女子說:我們在這裡都排了一個小時了,妳不能說妳是255號,就要先辦,255號下來還有256號要辦ㄚ。當下,妙齡女子看了我一眼,一言不發的調頭走人。

10月13日郵局之遊(一)

 

連續假期三天後的第一個工作天10/13(一),郵局到了下午1點50分仍然是人山人海,我的號碼牌是256號,還有22個號碼才會叫到我。我家住鄉下,鄉下的郵局較小,只有三個窗口開放辦理所有一切郵務包括:郵儲、郵匯、劃撥、開戶…等業務,當然掛號信和賣郵票的一人櫃檯是照例的設在一樓入口處。

 

這是離我家最最近的郵局也是我最喜歡的郵局,因為她很小所以令人覺得溫暖、親切。我不但認識他們每個人也叫得出他們的名字,除了先前局長的名字外,因為他老是坐在裡面,我比較少和他互動。這是一間快樂的郵局,因為櫃檯內小職員們老是認真且快樂的為民眾服務著...。

 

時間來到了下午的2點20分我已經下樓,看到一個帥哥(鄉下鮮有帥哥的)、買了香蕉又吃完一根且等了一會兒,閒來無事看看二樓窗外的景像─除了電線桿和永遠老樣子的老麵店,景色依舊是單調得無趣、呆滯。也因為實在悶得發荒只好東看看西看看郵局內的郵政寶寶,又有新款郵政娃娃一個要價110元,好可愛!以前只要買郵政壽險是會送一個的;又看到了一張A4的白紙上用藍色原子筆寫著幾個斗大的字,打油詩,折好好放在3號窗口:

老的,都回家休息了......

大學畢業生,也很多......

台灣,明天真的會變得更好嗎?

10月13日郵局之遊(二) 續待 ………

Annabel Lee

Annabel Lee 
(By Edgar Allan Poe, 1809-49)

It was many and many a year ago, 
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know 
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this madien she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea:
But we loved with a love that was more than love─
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs(=angel) of heaven
Coveted(=envy) her and me. 

......to be continued.........

Knowledge is Power

Quoted from below Wikipedia

Scientia potentia est

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  (Redirected from Knowledge is Power)
Wikiquote has a collection of quotations related to:

The famous phrase scientia potentia est is a Latin maxim "For also knowledge itself is power" stated originally by Sir Francis Bacon inMeditationes Sacrae (1597), which in modern times is often paraphrased as "knowledge is power." The phrase implies that with knowledge oreducation one's potential or abilities in life will certainly increase. It is also used as a justification for a reluctance to share information as some form of advantage can be gained through the use or manipulation of knowledge. It is possible that Bacon was paraphrasing Proverbs 24:5: "A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength." Another possible meaning for this phrase can be found in philosophical idealism - if the world exists solely as the content of consciousness, then knowledge itself can be used to directly manipulate the content of reality.

The phrase in use on the Information Awareness Office seal
The phrase in use on the Information Awareness Office seal

Also quoted humorously by Lister in the Red Dwarf books and TV show, "Knowledge is power. Who said that?", to which neither he nor Rimmer knows the answer.

Used by Terry Pratchett in his Discworld novels as the basis of the mathematical explanation for L-Space, the dimensional stretching created by large quantities of books.

Google's new Chrome browser will go up against Internet Explorer and Firefox.

YOUR VIEWS

Will you try Google's new 'Chrome' web browser?

Google says its new open source browser project will be ready for public consumption on Tuesday in 100 countries.

In a strange move well short of an official announcement, the web search giant 'leaked' a web comic to a blog site, detailing features of Google Chrome - a new browser well capable of putting a dent in Microsoft's Internet Explorer's market share.

Although Google is using a cartoonish approach to promote Chrome, the new browser underscores the gravity of Google's rivalry with Microsoft, whose Internet Explorer is used by about 75 per cent of Web surfers.

Google's lead in the lucrative internet search market is nearly as commanding, with its engine processing nearly two-thirds of the Web's queries.

For the past few years, Google has been trying to take advantage of its search engine's popularity to loosen Microsoft's grip on how most people interact with personal computers.

=================================================

Thanks to Mr. Sean Chen, phd, our teacher, today we learned how to use google's browser on the class and learned to work together as a member of a team.

Done with the Compass ─

Done with the Chart!


Rowing in Eden ─

Ah, the Sea!

Might I but moor ─ Tonight ─

In Thee!

狂野的夜晚 ─ 狂野的夜晚啊!

如果我與你在一起

這狂野的夜晚應該是

我們共享的奢侈


毫無作用 ─ 狂風 ─

對靠港的心而言 ─

不用指南針 ─

不用航海圖 ─


在伊甸園中划行 ─

啊! 海洋 !

但願我能停泊 ─ 今夜 ─

在你的港灣 !

看卡神事件

主旨: 看卡神事件....

這也..稱之為神
神--也太被濫用了吧!
那我也來個--我是-寄信神吧ㄏㄏㄏ你、妳是-收信神好了

深有同感

卡神為台灣加油遭中共打壓, 政論節目開始新的口水, 從另一面相提出觀點如下:
早年臺灣的「良心報紙、良心水果攤.., 拿多少自己放錢。」這就是人與人的互信關係 也是臺灣人善良純樸的精神. 而一個鑽法條漏洞(銀行或卡公司)的人,在媒體上說自己多利害, 被媒體稱之為 「卡神」 無論馬扁貪污與否,
藍綠各自解讀, 但從沒有看到雙方公開說 : 我就是犯法,但法律判不到我 ,至少我們還可以告訴孩子們說:對錯還未認定,

卡神的出現告訴我們: 走法條漏洞佔人便宜是受到表揚的
選舉前卡神向馬謝團隊毛遂自薦, 後而加入謝團隊, 時光倒流, 如果當初是加入馬團隊, 那??? 加上之前'棒球證'的事情.... 媒體朋友們,你們還要吹捧到何時? 5月份中共已通知各航空公司..旅行社 '因奧運期間加強安檢,望台胞簽證先辦好' 也就是說,如果到大陸機場才辦落地簽証, 有可能被原機遣送回台 如果在台灣先送簽台胞, 有在黑名單中 簽證就不會過, 當然就無法出發啦 不會是雖知簽證不會過, 硬要闖關製造出悲情的形象嗎? 藍綠的群眾, 不要被想要製造新聞的人而挑起情緒! 老師是用心教書, 學生專心上課, 商品鑑賞期是真的用不合才換.... 活在臺灣,對這塊土地上有份責任 ,'誠信''純樸'是臺灣最可愛的地方 希望找回臺灣的基本價值

聽說被媒體炒作出來的卡神--- 竟然還想要出來選立委.... 挖---看她那種自以為是的樣子- 年齡跟學經歷.....連話都講不清楚 從哪一點都看不出..她..有能力選立委.. 街上隨便抓幾個都比她強....... 這真是台灣媒體的悲哀.. 社會價值觀--被破壞殆盡 殆盡 ....

The RFID Chair in Netherlands Liberary

在荷蘭圖書館借書不怕腳酸


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dgaz6NIUFk 好神奇喔! 這是真的嗎 ? ? ?

荷蘭的設計師Jelte van Geest所設計的一張椅子 (Take a seat),只要透過每人獨有的圖書館證上的RFID就可以驅動一張專屬的沙發椅緊緊跟著你,走到哪兒,找到書就能馬上坐下來,再也不用去找位子,
而且也不怕一旦離開位子, 一下就被人佔去的問題,因為這是你專屬的椅子。一旦人離開圖書館後,椅子還會自動歸位,神奇吧。更炫的還有,如果想在圖書館內辦個小型論壇,圖書館人員可以一次招喚多張椅子到指定場所,完全不用人手搬運,既節省人力又方便,實在太令人驚艷了,如果家中也有一張這麼棒的椅子,這該有多好。

笑話一則

很有現代感的笑話!! 輕鬆一下吧!!

1. 斑馬深愛著小鹿,表達愛意時卻遭到拒絕。 斑馬大吼:為什麼?這一切都是為什麼? 小鹿 膽怯地說:我媽說了,紋身的都是不良少年。

2. 熊貓深愛著小象,表達愛意時卻遭到拒絕。 熊貓大吼:為什麼?這一切都是為什麼? 小象膽怯地說:我媽說了,戴墨鏡的都是不良少年

3. 小雞深愛著小鴨,表達愛意時卻遭到拒絕。 小雞大吼:為什麼?這一切都是為什麼? 小鴨 膽怯地說:我媽說了,叫「雞」的都不是好人。

4. 蜘蛛深愛著螞蟻,表達愛意時卻遭到拒絕。 蜘蛛大吼:為什麼?這一切都是為什麼? .............. .............. ........................... 螞蟻膽怯地說:我媽說了,成天在網上呆著的都不是好人。 .............. .............. 在講你啦!

退黑激素的功能

褪黑激素﹙Melatonin ﹚的功用 : 維持人體生理時鐘的動力。
褪黑激素
是由松果體所分泌的,
在正常情況下
夜晚11:00到凌晨2:00
為分泌最旺盛的時段,
人們會因而想睡覺,
之後分泌量慢慢降低,
直到約清晨8:00
當一睜開眼睛,松果體就停止分泌了。

松果體的分泌
非常的非常規律,
只要有一天熬夜,
次日
褪黑激素分泌量
就會減少,
約要 11天才會恢復正常,
因此 在這段時間中
會出現失眠、白天想睡、
哈欠連連的不正常情況。

晚上睡覺時
妳有開小燈的習慣嗎 ?
深夜開燈睡覺者,
免疫功能會下降喔。

根據一項研究顯示,
深夜開燈
將抑制人體分泌褪黑激素,
會降低人體免疫功能,
因此,
挑燈夜戰後極易受病毒的威脅。
國外有研究顯示,
常值夜班的小姐,
乳癌的發生率
將大幅成長二倍。
因為人腦中有一種稱為
松果體的內分泌器官,
於夜間睡眠時,
會分泌大量褪黑激素,
這個激素在夜間 11時,
至隔日 2時分泌最旺盛,
到清晨(約8時)停止分泌。
褪黑激素的分泌,
可以抑制人體交感神經的興奮性,
使得血壓下降、心跳速率減慢,
心臟得以喘息,
具有加強免疫功能、毒殺癌細胞的效果,
可是一旦眼球見到光,
褪黑激素就會被抑制住,
因此深夜開燈睡覺者,
免疫功能會下降、也就比較容罹患癌症。
●閱後傳知他人,添福添壽,
 也可減輕家庭負擔,為社會謀福。
●晚上睡覺還是把燈關了,暗暗黑黑的卡好喲 !
