 Heroin is an addictive drug that is processed from morphine and usually appears as a white or brown powder. Its street names include smack, H, ska, junk, and many others. Heroin use is on the rise and it has become a serious problem in America.

Heroin abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, collapsed veins, and, particularly in users who inject the drug, infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.

The short-term effects of heroin abuse appear soon after a single dose and disappear in a few hours. After an injection of heroin, the user reports feeling a surge of euphoria (”rush”) accompanied by a warm flushing of the skin, a dry mouth, and heavy extremities. Following this initial euphoria, the user goes “on the nod,” an alternately wakeful and drowsy state. Mental functioning becomes clouded due to the depression of the central nervous system.

Long-term effects of heroin appear after repeated use for some period of time. Chronic users may develop collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, cellulitis, and liver disease. Pulmonary complications, including various types of pneumonia, may result from the poor health condition of the abuser, as well as from heroin’s depressing effects on respiration.

Heroin abuse during pregnancy and its many associated environmental factors (e.g., lack of prenatal care) have been associated with adverse consequences including low birth weight, an important risk factor for later developmental delay.

In addition to the effects of the drug itself, street heroin may have additives that do not readily dissolve and result in clogging the blood vessels that lead to the lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain. This can cause infection or even death of small patches of cells in vital organs.

The Drug Abuse Warning Network reports that eight percent of drug-related emergency department (ED) visits in the third and fourth quarters of 2003 involved heroin abuse. Unspecified opiates, which could include heroin, were involved in an additional 4 percent of drug-related visits.

With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more to achieve the same intensity of effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped.

Withdrawal, which in regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (”cold turkey”), kicking movements (”kicking the habit”), and other symptoms.

Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.

Task-Planner addresses the problem: Who is to do what and when.

To this end Task Planner’s main planning board contains two schedules :

• the activity schedule
• the working hours schedule

and an automatic assignment procedure based on competences required by the tasks and competences offered by the employees.

This unique approch pinpoints the scheduling problem and ensures that you get the jobs assigned and with the right staff.

Below is the main planning board of Task Planner in which the two schedules and the assignments are clearly identifiable.


This layout gives an instant overview of the scheduling situation.

Templates


If the schedule expedites a recurrent pattern a template covering the pattern can be formulated.


Templates look and behaves exactly as the main planning board and is therefore a great simulation tool targeted at trimming your staff to the tasks.

Generating a monthly plan using templates is done by pressing a button and is a matter of seconds even for very large plans.

Handling of daily exceptions.


Absences of any cause are readily visible in the plan and can be dealt with immediately.


Changes in the allocation and duration of activities or working hours are done using the mouse, mirroring the familiar planning board.

See example

Other features.


Teams of employees can be associated to a task, or group of tasks, thereby enforcing that only employees from the team can be allocated to the task/tasks.


Job rotation prevents a group of employees to do the same task every day.


The program can be operated and configured by the ordinary user.

Applicability


The program is applicable in health care, hospital departments, kindergarten, facility service business and other sites where the tasks and working hours exhibits a recurring pattern and where the scheduling task is of such complexity, that manual composition is difficult.

Adaptive Planning Tools develop planning and scheduling software covering small to medium sized tasks. Tasks, that are too complex to handle manually, and too small to let the computer solve them by an algorithm.

The importance of weight training
By derek cla

 There’s a story that the first person who trained with weights was a Greek named Milo, way back when the original Olympic games flourished. He acquired a small calf, and each day he would walk around an amphitheater, carrying it on his shoulders. Each day the calf grew a bit larger, so Milo had to work harder to carry it around. But because it grew only gradually, he was able to do it. Finally, he was carrying a full-grown bull around the amphitheater, and had the musculature to show for it.

Well, anyone with common sense knows that women were the original weight trainers! Substitute a new born baby for a small calf, and there ya go.

Unfortunately, once the babe has grown enough to be able to walk on his or her own two feet and not want to be carried whenever their little legs get tired, some moms never lift weights again, and the muscles that were used to perform these feats become little used, and therefore weaken. When they get on in years, the dowager humps and the flabby underarms and the general loss of bone mass happen just the same.

Which is why weight training is important, and training the upper body is more important for women than it is for men.

So, what type of upper body exercises are there?

Shoulders

Strong arms don’t do you much good if your shoulders can’t support them properly.

The exercises that target the trapezius muscles only is the shoulder shrug.

The shoulder shrug can be done with either a barbell or dumbbells. For a woman, it’s probably easier just to use dumbbells, of appropriate weights. Stand up straight, holding the weights at your sides - 15-pound weights are best. Then, simply make a motion as if you were shrugging your shoulders, ten to fifteen times. You’ll be able to feel the muscles being worked after you finish the set.

Exercises that target both the trapezius muscles and the deltoid muscles are “presses,” “raises,” and “fly”s.

When you press a dumbbell or barbell, it means that you’re pushing it over your head. Again, dumbbells are easier to use than barbells (indeed, if you don’t want to go to the expense of a barbell and the weights that fit onto it, a selection of dumbbells of appropriate weights will suit the purpose also.) .

Simply stand with your hands holding the dumbbells at shoulder-high level. Then lift them alternately over your head, until you’ve done a total of ten with each arm.

To do a dumbbell raise, on the other hand, you stand with your arms at your sides, holding 10 pound dumbbells in this case. (Or five-pound dumbbells, depending on your strength level.) Simply raise your arms straight outward from your sides, until your arms are parallel to the ground. Lower and repeat ten times. Again, you’ll be able to feel your shoulders after repeating this set.

To do a back fly, stand up, but bend over, so that your chest is parallel to the ground. Let your arms hang straight down. Then, simply raise your arms straight up. This really works your pectorals as well as your shoulder muscles, and is harder to do than the other exercises, just because of the body angle.

But you really want to work your pecs, because this will help prevent sagging breasts in old age!

Fat Loss And Weight Training Myths
By Dane Fletcher

 Instant reduction myth. No matter what commercial advertisement propose, the existence of instant reduction of weight is quite improbable. Fat loss in the body occurs through a sequence which relies upon genetics, steroid (hormone) and age mostly. Even though blubber is lost or acquired by the body, it appears that the last place to become lean or the fast place to gain fat is the midsection in male and a few female. On the other hand the last place to become lean or the fast places to gain fat are the hips in female and a few male. Some common physical and fitness exercises such as; sit-ups, rollers, push belts, etc. tend to work on the muscles which exist under the blubber or fat.

Another storage area for fat exists and this can be found in the abdominal muscles, the intestines and other body organs. This is what normally leads to a “big pot belly” which pushes the abdominal muscles and the adjacent fat outwards.

Lower Abdominal muscle Myth

Most physical experts believe that exercising of the lower abs occurs during activities such as leg raise and other hip flexing physical exercises. To give an opinion on the mechanics of a certain exercise based on where your muscle is mostly affected or fatigued will be very incorrect or rather misleading. The main muscle which is used during hip flexion is normally the lliopsas, which is one among many other hip flexors. The lliopsoas actually tends to spring up from deep down the Rectus Abdominis on its lower portion. When leg raise occurs abdominal muscles in its entirety tend to contract isometrically

The combined existence of localized muscle fatigue and working of the hip flexors lead to creation of fatigue in the area surrounding the pelvis which most people wrongly come to the conclusion that they are exercising the lower portion of the Rectus Abdominis.

More Repetitions Burn High Fat Myth

Working on lighter weights with high or more repetitions (15-20reps, 20-50reps) will not lead to the burning of more blubber or tone. It is actually better to use a heavier weight and apply moderate repetition (8-14reps). The type of training involving lifting weights normally uses carbohydrates immediately the ATP and CP reservoirs have depleted during the first few seconds of thorough contraction of the muscles. A typical set should last duration of 20-30 seconds. The requirements for an average healthy fit person is 20 to 40 minutes of continuous aerobic exercise with large muscle groups such as Quadriceps to burn about 50% fat. Oxygen is usually required during the burning process of fat.

The performance of a few more extra repetitions on a weight lifting exercise is not of utmost importance in burning the extra fat. It actually in effect leads to the burning of less fat. Less fat will be burned when you lift light weights with more repetitions when you compromise or overlook the intensity the exercise. The usual deterrent for attaining higher intensities during high repetition training sessions is the resulting burning sensation.

For people who wish to acquire fat loss for beauty purposes, the intensity of weight training can work for them and at the same time work against them. During the early stages of an exercise program, the increase in muscle mass may be more than decrease in fat. This will result in a small initial gain in weight. For a significant loss in fat a person needs to acquire a certain tolerance which encompasses great intensity and duration during exercise. A lighter weight with more repetition is more appropriate if the training exercise and nutrition program is inadequate for a significant fat loss.

 If you are like most people in the world, you might on occasion have a headache. Some of these headaches will be just a slight pain in some part of your head, but some of them might cause you to feel like your head or face is on fire. These kinds of headaches will or even might put you to bed. You could get a headache from just about anything like if you put too much pressure on your neck, too much strain on your eyes, grinding your teeth, or just too much tension.

If you grind or grit your teeth and you do this all the time, it cannot only add to you having a lot of headaches, but you will end up going to a dentist to have extensive dental work done to repair the damage that has been done. This procedure alone can cost you thousands in repairs. Your dentist can help with this problem, as he can make you something that you will put over your teeth at night to help stop you from doing any more damage to your teeth.

If you read a lot or are on a computer a lot, you will most surely give yourself a headache. If something is very interesting, you might find yourself with a headache due to the fact that you have been reading too long and have put some strain on your eyes. If you are this much of a reader, then the best thing to do is get yourself a small timer and set it for one hour or a any short amount of time so that when this timer goes off, you will then quit for the day. If you are on a computer, the same principle should apply. You can also give yourself breaks so that you aren’t staring at the screen for long periods of time.

A tension headache is most likely to be the one that will make your head feel like it’s on fire. We worry about everything in our lives today from taking care of our children to making sure that the bills that are due each month are paid. We worry about the costs of clothes, food, and gas, and we worry about the safety and security of our children, family, and pets. If we worry too much, we will have headaches and will have to take something to get rid of it.

Cold and Flu Season: Diabetics Share Natural Remedies
By Ben Welch

 As the leaves fall and winter weather creeps onto the horizon, the risk for catching a nasty cold or the miserable flu increases. For people with diabetes, catching the flu can be much more than an inconvenience. In fact according to the Centers for Disease control, a diabetic is three times more likely to die from the flu and six times more likely to be hospitalized.

Obviously, all people with diabetes should get a flu shot every year to protect themselves. Most doctors specializing in diabetes also recommend that immediate family members receive a flu shot to limit exposure to the flu virus within the home.

However, as everyone knows, the flu shot is not a guarantee against catching the flu. So diabetics are always looking for ways to increase protection. On one of the social networking sites for people touched by diabetes, members are sharing with each other ideas and natural remedies to help during the cold and flu season.

One member posted an article detailing the protective powers of the common apple. It turns out apples contain quercetin, which is a flavonoid that may stave off the influenza virus when the body is under stress. Other members immediately chimed in to relate that red onions, broccoli, and tea also contain quercetin and can help. One of the positive benefits of this little-known flavonoid is that it can help boost the immune system during times of both physical and psychological stress.

In another part of the site, another member was sharing insights about the benefits of vitamin D. During the winter months, vitamin D - which the body makes from sunlight - is in short supply. The resulting deficiency can often cause a long list of painful maladies, including bone and joint pain, muscle aches, fibromyalgia syndrome, rheumatic disorders, osteoarthritis, and other complaints.

Of course the most basic of all the protective “natural” remedies to protect yourself during the cold and flu season is hand washing. People with diabetes should be extra vigilant in washing their hands regularly with a good anti-bacterial soap and warm water. According to the Mayo Clinic, here are the steps for effective hand washing:

- Wet your hands with warm, running water and apply liquid soap or use clean bar soap. Lather well.

- Rub your hands vigorously together for at least 15 to 20 seconds.

- Scrub all surfaces, including the backs of your hands, wrists, between your fingers and under your fingernails.

- Rinse well.

- Dry your hands with a clean or disposable towel.

- Use a towel to turn off the faucet.

Universal Healthcare: The Pros and Cons
By Roberto Garabell

 Universal Healthcare is being strongly considered in the United States. Universal Healthcare basically means that every citizen will be eligible for health coverage, regardless of their ability to pay for it. There are pros and cons of such a system.

First of all, let’s take a look at the pros of Universal Healthcare (also known as Socialized Medicine). The benefits are fairly obvious. If we cover each and every citizen with affordable or free health insurance, they will be able to maintain their health regardless of their income.

One major advantage of such as system is that it can literally save lives. People die in our country each day because they cannot afford healthcare. And that includes working Americans. That is a travesty! It’s heartbreaking that there are millions of people who are contributing tax dollars to our national economy who are not in turn given their most basic need: maintenance of their health.

It almost seems obvious that it’s time to take the cue from Canada and implement Universal Healthcare. Their citizens seem to be fairly happy with the system, and it has been saving lives there on a daily basis.

However, as is true with any system (no matter how good a system it is), no healthcare solution is without fault. There are some notable disadvantages to Universal Healthcare which are worth acknowledging.

One negative side effect to providing universal healthcare is that spreading something too thin causes it to lose its inherent value. If we try to spread out our healthcare, it is possible that the quality of care will go down. Why? Because the hospitals and doctors offices will have more patients to deal with!

Naturally, no doctor would deliberately decrease his or her quality of care. Unfortunately, however, if your patient count multiplies, it can be hard to keep up. This could be overcome by the increased funding from the government under a socialized system, since that could cover a boost in medical staffing.

The other disadvantage that could result from Universal Healthcare is a lack of availability of care, causing a decrease in access to healthcare for everyone, including those who could afford to pay for it. There could be waiting lists that could prevent people from getting the care they need.

At the end of the day, we have to decide if the few drawbacks are worth it, in order to help out our fellow Americans who cannot afford to have any care whatsoever.
