Children and adolescents carrying a laptop is now a common sight. However, parents are advised to restrict the use of laptops in young people because it can affect the growth of muscles and their posture.

According to a study by a team from Boston University, revealed about 50 percent of the student laptop users often complain of pain after using the computer for an hour. Research carried out on 18 million students in 2008.

“Disturbances in the musculoskeletal system that occurs in childhood through young adulthood need to be a concern because of their posture and musculoskeletal system is still developing,” said Karen Jacobs, lead researcher and therapist from Boston University.

He explained that the complaint of pain due to the use of laptops are now often experienced by children in many countries. In addition to parents to monitor the duration of the use of laptops, Jacobs also recommends that children be taught to do the stretching and muscle exercises to prevent posture problems in the future.

The report that was launched by The Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2009 found musculoskeletal disorders (muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons) reached 29 percent of all accidents in the workplace and cause the workers to take sick leave.

According to Jacobs, one of the causes of muscle or joint disorders in children are a laptop user’s desk that is used is not appropriate. To relieve soreness, he suggested that laptop users use a mouse than the trackpad on the laptop.

“Wearing a trackpad made we are in an awkward position because the position of the hand through the body, rather than relaxing on the side,” said Jacobs, who had become president of the American Occupational Therapy Association.

When using the trackpad, usually a finger, tendon fingers are constantly being widened and cause muscle and joint tension. In a long time, this discomfort will extend to the shoulder, wrist, and arm.

Besides, most people also rest their wrists when using the touchpad. This condition is called contact pressure (contact stress) and would overload the wrist muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.

“Laptop originally designed for use on the desk. Therefore, we should add accessories such as mice and keyboards to prevent joint pain,” said Jacobs.

From the research he is doing, it is known that children who suffer the most pain because the use of laptops are generally children who are not actively engaged. “There is a trend that physically active people more often suffer from musculoskeletal disorders. This occurs both in children and adults,” said Robin Billespie, ergonomics expert.

Like athletes who must perform to warm up before getting out into the field, Jacobs also suggested that laptop users are stretching on the sidelines wearing laptop. “Walking around after using the laptop for two hours is a good start,” he said. He also advised to perform stretching exercises the hands, neck, back, and head every day.

www.fitandcharming.blogspot.com

A study in flavorology directed by the neurologist Dr. Alan R. Hirsch, director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, sponsored by Dreyer’s and Eddy’s Grand Ice Cream (no surprise), says your favorite ice cream flavor can say a lot about you.  Dr. Hirsch was surprised to find out that “distinct personalities corresponded with ice cream flavors.”

“WHAT YOUR FAVOURITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?”

Vanilla – You are colorful, impulsive, a risk taker who sets high goals and do whatever it takes to meet them. You have high expectations of yourself. You’re a saucy adventuress/adventurer who relies on your gut instinct, live a hectic life, easily suggestible, expressive, idealistic; a private person.  People are drawn to your friendly, out-going personality, and you have particularly strong relationships with your family.

Chocolate – You are lively, creative, dramatic, charming, enthusiastic and the life of the party. You are seductive, well-dressed, extroverted, easily influenced, a follower, intuitive, who enjoys intimate relationships. You could charm the birds from the trees, and your enthusiasm and creativity add to your allure. You’re usually the center of attention in social situations and you bask in the spotlight and can become bored with the usual routine. You believe love is all about passion and excitement.

Butter Pecan – You are orderly, perfectionist, careful, detail-oriented, conscientious, ethical and fiscally conservative. You are also competitive, aggressive in sports and the take-charge type of personality.  At work, you’re known for being detail-oriented, loyal and conscientious. You carry these same traits into your personal relationships, and you’re especially compassionate towards others.

Strawberry – You are shy, yet emotionally robust, skeptical, detail-oriented, opinionated, introverted and self critical.  Easily made to feel guilty; cranky, pessimistic, low self-esteem. You can be quite shy at times, but you also have a steely backbone and have no problem making your opinions known. Your tendency towards perfection can be irritating, although it makes you a star with your boss.

Chocolate chip – You are generous, competitive and accomplished. You are charming in social situations, ambitious and competent. A visionary, a conqueror, who enjoys being catered to, intolerant of defeat. You’re a go-getter with a staggering number of accomplishments under your belt. But you never blow your own horn, preferring to count your blessings. Your captivating personality makes you a natural leader among your peers.

Banana – You are easy going, well adjusted, generous, honest and empathetic. You’re incredibly generous of heart and a great listener. That’s why you are often the one others turn to for solace and advice. You also have an easygoing attitude and manage to juggle all of your duties with calm assurance.

I like chocolate and chocolate chip

4 temperaments types

sources :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/four_temperaments

4marks.com

this is it, 4 temperaments types

Sanguine

The Sanguine temperament personality is fairly extroverted. People of a sanguine temperament tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be quite loud. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean very sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when pursuing a new hobby, interest is lost quickly when it ceases to be engaging or fun. They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy. For some people, these are the ones you want to be friends with and usually they become life long friends.

Choleric

A person who is choleric is a do-er. They have a lot of ambition, energy, and passion, and try to instil it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were cholerics. They like to be leaders and in charge of everything.

Melancholic

A person who is a thoughtful ponderer has a melancholic disposition. Often very considerate and get rather worried when they could not be on time for events, melancholics can be highly creative in activities such as poetry and art – and can become occupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. A melancholic is also often a perfectionist. They are often self-reliant and independent; one negative part of being a melancholic is sometimes they can get so involved in what they are doing they forget to think of others.

Phlegmatic

Phlegmatics tend to be self-content and kind. They can be very accepting and affectionate. They may be very receptive and shy and often prefer stability to uncertainty and change. They are very consistent, relaxed, rational, curious, and observant, making them good administrators . However they can also be very passive and aggressive.

The formula for calculating the Top Rated 250 Titles gives a true Bayesian estimate:

 weighted rating (WR) = (v ÷ (v+m)) × R + (m ÷ (v+m)) × C

where:

• R = average for the movie (mean) = (Rating)
• v = number of votes for the movie = (votes)
• m = minimum votes required to be listed in the Top 250 (currently 3000)
• C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently 6.9)

for the Top 250, only votes from regular voters are considered.

Understanding Body Language

well, it’s my first post i hope you like it.

when i was browsing to do my assignment i found some interesting articles about body language.

Physical expression

physical expressions like waving, pointing, touching and slouching are all forms of nonverbal communication. The study of body movement and expression is known as kinesics. Humans move their bodies when communicating because, as research has shown, it helps “ease the mental effort when communication is difficult.” Physical expressions reveal many things about the person using them. For example, gestures can emphasize a point or relay a message, posture can reveal boredom or great interest, and touch can convey encouragement or caution.

• One of the most basic and powerful body-language signals is when a person crosses his or her arms across the chest. This can indicate that a person is putting up an unconscious barrier between themselves and others. It can also indicate that the person’s arms are cold, which would be clarified by rubbing the arms or huddling. When the overall situation is amicable, it can mean that a person is thinking deeply about what is being discussed. But in a serious or confrontational situation, it can mean that a person is expressing opposition. This is especially so if the person is leaning away from the speaker. A harsh or blank facial expression often indicates outright hostility.
• Consistent eye contact can indicate that a person is thinking positively of what the speaker is saying. It can also mean that the other person doesn’t trust the speaker enough to “take their eyes off” the speaker. Lack of eye contact can indicate negativity. On the other hand, individuals with anxiety disorders are often unable to make eye contact without discomfort. Eye contact can also be a secondary and misleading gesture because cultural norms about it vary widely. If a person is looking at you, but is making the arms-across-chest signal, the eye contact could be indicative that something is bothering the person, and that he wants to talk about it. Or if while making direct eye contact, a person is fiddling with something, even while directly looking at you, it could indicate the attention is elsewhere. Also, there are three standard areas that a person will look which represent different states of being. If the person looks from one eye to the other then to the forehead, it is a sign that they are taking an authoritative position. If they move from one eye to the other then to the nose, that signals that they are engaging in what they consider to be a “level conversation” with neither party holding superiority. The last case is from one eye to the other and then down to the lips. This is a strong indication of romantic feelings.
• Disbelief is often indicated by averted gaze, or by touching the ear or scratching the chin. When a person is not being convinced by what someone is saying, the attention invariably wanders, and the eyes will stare away for an extended period.
• Boredom is indicated by the head tilting to one side, or by the eyes looking straight at the speaker but becoming slightly unfocused. A head tilt may also indicate a sore neck or Amblyopia, and unfocused eyes may indicate ocular problems in the listener.
• Interest can be indicated through posture or extended eye contact, such as standing and listening properly.
• Deceit or the act of withholding information can sometimes be indicated by touching the face during conversation. Excessive blinking is a well-known indicator of someone who is lying. Recently, evidence has surfaced that the absence of blinking can also represent lying as a more reliable factor than excessive blinking.

Body Language and Gestures

• Brisk and Erect walk This body language means confidence.
• Person standing with hands on hips This body language means readiness and aggression
• Person sitting with legs crossed, foot kicking slightly This body language means boredom.
• Person sitting with legs apart This body language means an open and relaxed person.
• Person tapping or drumming with his fingers This body language means that the person is impatient.
• Patting/fondling hair This body language means lack of self confidence and insecurity.
• Tilting head quickly This body language indicates interest in some person or thing.
• Person walking with hands in pockets, shoulders hunched This body language shows a person in dejection
• Person brings hand to cheek : The person is evaluating and thinking
• Touching, slightly rubbing nose : The person is rejected, in doubt and maybe lying.
• Rubbing the eye : The person is in doubt or disbelief.
• Hands clasped behind back : The person is angry, frustrated and apprehensive.
• Person Stroking chin This indicates that the person is trying to make a decision.
• Person looking down, face turned away Just means disbelief.
• Someone biting nails This is a proof of insecurity and nervousness.
• Pulling or tugging the ear:  The person is indecisive.
• Person with prolonged tilted head Indicates boredom

Some people use and understand body language differently, or not at all. Interpreting their gestures and facial expressions (or lack thereof) in the context of normal body language usually leads to misunderstandings and misinterpretations (especially if body language is given priority over spoken language). It should also be stated that people from different cultures can interpret body language in different ways.

Body language and space

terpersonal space refers to the psychological “bubble” that we can imagine exists when someone is standing too close to us. Research has revealed that there are four different zones of interpersonal space.

• The first zone is called intimate distance and ranges from touching to about eighteen inches (46 cm) apart. Intimate distance is the space around us that we reserve for lovers, children, as well as close family members and friends, and also pet animals.
• The second zone is called personal distance and begins about an arm’s length away; starting around eighteen inches (46 cm) from our person and ending about four feet (122 cm) away. We use personal distance in conversations with friends, to chat with associates, and in group discussions.
• The third zone of interpersonal space is called social distance and is the area that ranges from four to eight feet (1.2 m – 2.4 m) away from you. Social distance is reserved for strangers, newly formed groups, and new acquaintances.
• The fourth identified zone of space is public distance and includes anything more than eight feet (2.4 m) away from you. This zone is used for speeches, lectures, and theater; essentially, public distance is that range reserved for larger audiences.

how to read body language

1. Pay attention to how close someone is to you. The closer they are, the warmer their opinions are of you. The farther away that someone is, the less they actually care of the situation or person. If you move slightly closer to them, do they move slightly further away? That means they don’t want your interaction to be any more personal than it already is. If they don’t move further away, then they are receptive. And if they respond by getting even closer to you, they probably really like you or are very comfortable around/by you.
2. watch their head position

• Overly tilted heads are either a potential sign of sympathy, or if a person smiles while tilting their head, they are being playful and maybe even flirting.
• Lowered heads indicate a reason to hide something. Take note if someone lowers their head. If it is when he is complimented, he may be shy, ashamed, timid, keeping distance from the other person, in disbelief, or thinking to himself or herself. If it is after an explanation, then he may be unsure if what he said was correct.
  • It should be noted that some cultures see this as a sign of respect.
• Cocked heads mean that they are confused or challenging you, depending on eye, eyebrow, and mouth gestures. Think of how a dog slightly cocks its head when you make a funny noise.

3.Look into their eyes

• People who look to the sides a lot are nervous, lying, or distracted. However, if a person looks away from the speaker, it very well could be a comfort display or indicate submissiveness. Looking askance generally means the person is distrustful or unconvinced.
• If someone looks down at the floor a lot, they are probably shy or timid.
• Some cultures believe that looking at someone in the eyes is a sign of disrespect, so this could explain why someone is avoiding eye contact with you.
• Dilated pupils mean that the person is interested. Keep in mind, however, that many drugs cause pupils to dilate, including alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, LSD and others. Don’t mistake having a few drinks for attraction. Also, some people have permanently dilated pupils (a condition known as mydriasis).

4. See if they’re mirroring you. Mirroring is another common gesture. If someone mirrors, or mimics your appearance, this is a very genuine sign that they are interested in you and trying to establish rapport with you. Try changing your body position here and there. If you find that they change theirs similarly, they are mirroring.

5. Check their arms.

• People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence. Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may indicate that the person is (slightly) reserved, uncomfortable with their appearance, or just trying to hide something on their shirt. If their arms are crossed while their feet are shoulder width or wider apart, this is a position of toughness or authority.
• If someone rests their arms behind their neck or head, they are open to what is being discussed or just laid back in general.
• If their hands are on their hips, they might be waiting or impatient.

6. Be aware of nervous gestures:

• If someone brushes their hair back with their fingers, this may be preening, a common gesture if the person likes you, or their thoughts about something conflict with yours. They might not voice this. If you see raised eyebrows during this time, you can be pretty sure that they disagree with you.
• If the person wears glasses, and is constantly pushing them up onto their nose again, with a slight frown, that may also indicate they disagree with what you are saying. Look to make sure they push up their glasses with an intent, not casually adjusting them. Look for pushing on the rim with two fingers, or an extra motion of wiggling the side of their glasses. The frown or raised eyebrows should tip you off.
• Lowered eyebrows and squinted eyes illustrate an attempt at understanding what is being said or going on. It’s usually skeptical. This is presuming they are not trying to observe something that’s far away.

7. Watch their feet:

• A fast tapping, shifting of weight, laughing, or movement of the foot will most often mean that the person is impatient, excited, nervous, scared, or intimidated.
  • Note though that some people with ADHD will constantly jiggle their legs. It doesn’t mean anything, it’s entirely subconscious and, while eccentric, it can’t be stopped.
• If the person is sitting, feet crossed at the ankles means they’re generally at ease.
• If while standing, a person seems to always keep their feet very close together, it probably means they are trying to be “proper” in some way.
• If they purposely touch their feet to yours, they are flirting!

Tips :

• It’s easy to spot a confident person; they will make prolonged eye contact and have a strong posture. Long eye contact can also be found in lovers’ eyes.
• If a person talks at a fast rate and mumbles or isn’t clear on what they are saying they are lying (trying to stall for time) or not telling the full truth (being vague). (But be aware that some people do actually mumble)
• Don’t isolate yourself by constantly examining body language when interacting with people. Otherwise, there is no reason to gain a social upper hand anyway. This is paralysis by analysis.
• Watch the face, it will usually give off a quick involuntary and sometimes subconscious twitch when something happens that irritates, excites, or amuses them.
• Observing in context is key to understanding body language.
• Keep in mind that each person has their own unique body language called baseline behaviors.
• When observing others, be subtle about it.

Pay special attention to changes in body language rather than the body language itself.

 

so that’s all. hope you like it.
