So you haven’t been out on a date in awhile and you’re nervous that you’ll do or say the wrong thing. Or perhaps your last date was such a disaster that it should have had a rating 5 on the weather channel. Getting nervous before a date is understandable. Will they be attracted to you? Are you both on the same wavelength? Will you be able to control your mouth from saying something your brain knows is stupid?

Mistakes usually occur when stress levels are high. And lets face it dating is a stressful endeavour. The best thing you can do before a date is…relax…I know that is easier said than done but here are 8 easy ways to chillout before your dates arrives so that you actually have a good time on your date without any jittery mis-steps.

1. Meditate or if that sounds too mystical just close your eyes and focus on your breathing, feel it as it goes in and feel it go out. Can you feel it flow through your nostrils into your lungs? Does your stomach expand too? If it does then you know your breathing deeply and you’ll get the most benefit from the activity. See if you can focus on the pause between breaths and that between an inhale and an exhale. Do it for 5 minutes or do it for 20 – the length is not as important as your focus during this time.

2. Sing. Really loudly. Obviously this isn’t going to work in an office but it’s great in the car, especially at night if you’re worried about other people looking at you oddly.

3. Stretch. Try standing with your feet hip width apart and then take a deep breath, rise up onto your toes and reach up to the ceiling with your fingertips. Hold for as long as you can. And then slowly release your breath, your arms and finally put your heels back on the ground.

4. Go for a walk even if it’s just around the office or your living room. Or you could walk to the mailbox or do 6 starjumps or put on some dancing music. Anything to get your body moving and those endorphins flowing.

5. Give yourself a quick massage – your feet or hands are good places to start for a quick treat. Keep some hand cream or body lotion at your desk or in your bedside table and you’ll always be ready to treat yourself. And take your time – afterall YOU know the bits you like.

6. Connect with your inner child – Do a handstand or a cartwheel – this isn’t going to work indoors but if you’re wearing trousers there’s no reason why you can’t do it in the park on your way to meet your date. And while you’re there have a go on the slide too (not a good option if you’re wearing white and its probably a good idea to make sure the ramp is clean before you slide).

7. Go somewhere private and be as unbelievably angry as you possibly can and try to stay angry – you’ll find that 9 times out of 10 you won’t be able to sustain it. The idea is not to get all worked up and then go and spray your anger at your date. It’s about getting it all out and then dealing with whatever situation needs addressing. In order to do this you need to make sure that you don’t leave your private space until you feel like your anger has all gone. We hear so much about anger management when it’s not really about managing it, but rather letting it out. Just remember the golden rule: its OK to get angry but its not OK to take it out on someone or something else.

8. Read fiction – almost everyone agrees that fiction is a wonderful escape from the day to day. There’s nothing quite like stepping out of your own life and into the lives of the characters in a good story. And a good short story is just the thing for a 15 minute chillout session. Don’t know where to start? Check out www.espressofiction.com for some cool fiction that can be sent to you by email each week.

Hope these tips work for you on your next date. You might even find you enjoy it!

Dating first time with your date by Albert Arul Prakash

With the warmer weather approaching now is the perfect time to think about a romantic picnic with that special person in your life. Grab a picnic basket a blanket and head to a scenic spot to enjoy each others undivided company.

Picnics of the romantic variety work best in secluded or remote locations. However with that remoteness comes a certain level of pressure.

There is no room service or corner store to call on for the last minute forgotten items. With some planning and our helpful tips you can create a perfect picnic that will long be remembered.

The must take items are, blankets and cushions, Plates, glasses, napkins and at least 1 sharp knife food and drink, (don’t forget a bottle opener) sunscreen and insect repellent a first aid kit

and to really impress a CD player with mood music (make sure the batteries are charged) big stable candles, (don’t forget the matches) and flowers

A picnic menu is best if kept simple. Try cold chicken or meats, a selection of cheeses, fresh fruit like grapes and strawberries, dips and of course a fresh baked baguette. Foods you can share or even better feed to each other are winners.

Champagne or a crisp Chardonnay work well for most picnics, but don’t forget to take plenty of water it is easy to get dehydrated on a hot summers day. To keep ants away sprinkle talcum powder around your picnic site, ants can’t stand the smell or feel of it and won’t cross the barrier you have set up.

Romantic Picnic Ideas For Your Next Date by Marc Lindsay

Dating can seem hard. It is hard to find someone that shares your same interests. It is hard to find someone you connect with. Looking for love is definitely a hard road to travel.

Dating conversation can be the most awkward situation a person can ever find themselves in. Stating a dating conversation is frustrating. For many people just the anticipation is enough to make them not even try to find conversation starters.

In starting a conversation while dating you are actually at an advantage because you both already have something in common – you are on a date together, at the same place, with, hopefully, the same intentions. The only thing left to do is pick one of those three things to talk about and get started.

The following section explains what types of conversation starters work best in a dating situation. These tips can help you to understand why certain topics result in better conversation.

You can then use this knowledge to help yourself start some good dating conversations.

1. Observant comments.

Starting a conversation by commenting on something around you allows your date to participate in the conversation. You could make a comment about something interesting your date is wearing or about the place you are at.

Observant comments focus the conversation on something both of you can talk about and shows your date that you are at ease enough to be looking at things around you, not just focusing on yourself.

2. Adding humor.

Almost everyone can appreciate a good joke. People love to laugh. It releases tension and will generally put someone at ease. Adding in a little humor to your conversation will liven things up.

It will show your date you are not afraid to laugh and you are fun to be around. Be careful of focusing too much on being funny, though. Let it come naturally.

3. Be unique.

Say something interesting or unusual. Avoid being weird, though. Catch your date off guard with something that is not a cliché. Try to go outside the box and be creative.

These three conversation starter tips will help you to start out the conversation on a good note. Plus you can avoid common problems that lead to boring conversation.

The following section gives some examples of what to say to start a dating conversation.

1. Ask if his or her day was as boring as yours. 2. Ask how he or she got their current job. 3. Ask your date if he or she has ever dreamed of living somewhere else and where and why he or she would live there. 4. Comment on the unusual décor of the restaurant. 5. Comment on a current event. 6. Ask your date if he or she has a special hobby.

These are some simple conversation starters that can really take off into a better conversation. You can share back and forth and really get to know more about your date through these conversations.

Always listen attentively and do not take over the conversation. Let it flow and follow the tips and suggestions here to get your dating conversations going.

Conversation Starters for Successful Daters by Peter Murphy

So…what makes these women so special?

This is a question that I am often asked by men new to the world of international dating. Those guys fortunate enough to have met or visited the Former Soviet Union (FSU) already know the answer!

The first thing is that these women still have “traditional” values. Now this phrase probably means something a little different to everyone who hears it. So let’s qualify this a bit. A FSU woman will want to have children and a family. Yes, she will want to be a wife and mother. Many will be totally happy in these roles alone. Some will like to work outside the home as well.

By and large these women know how to be a wife and mother! The whole Russian culture teaches that a woman finds her highest fulfillment and joy in being a wife and mother. They learn these skills from their mother’s at a young age.

Most women in the FSU have a college degree or are working on one. Many have knowledge (at least to a degree) of a 2nd or 3rd language. These ladies are very well educated.

She will pride herself on her appearance. I do not mean to say that she is stuck up or anything like that. However, she will dress as nicely as she can afford, wear her make-up, and generally present herself as appealing. This is how they are taught to attract a man. Again, very traditional. She usually walks 1-2 miles a day, staying very fit and healthy. How many times have you seen an overweight American woman going to the store or mall in her big bulky sweat pants, looking disheveled, as if she just rolled out of bed? An FSU woman will NEVER let this happen to herself! Many of my friends were amazed at the amount of resentment their wives raised from other women. They were jealous! Also, the FSU woman will tend to you. She will not let you go out of the house without a pressed shirt, nice pants, and polished shoes. This is their culture. And I for one love it! I think most men would enjoy being with a woman who feels this way.

After nearly 80 years of Communist rule, the FSU has some of the most adaptable people anywhere in the world. These ladies, for the most part, know about living in a poor economy. They know how to make something out of nothing. They are not afraid of difficulties. In the West we tend to emphasize the outer things–money, possessions, etc… In the FSU, they more highly value the person. Friendship and inner beauty are very important to most FSU women. She will love you for who you are. In the end, isn’t this what every man really wants?

You can find what your heart truly desires in the FSU! I can help you find it. If you are becoming increasingly disappointed with American women–due to appearance, manners, morals, or any other reasons (that is the topic for another article!)–I strongly urge you to explore the option of finding a wonderful Russian woman.

Why Date a Russian Woman   by Joseph Carducci

Are you in search of your Russian woman? Impatient to see the pretty Russian girl you have met online? Now you know for sure you are ready to set out in search of your best relationship ever…
Bottom line is this: you have decided to go to Russia in winter whether or not you are corresponding with anyone. You will have a great trip: the country is beautiful, special and unforgettable. You probably feel excited by future socials and frustrated by Russian winter.
Don’t get frustrated. This article will help you and give some tips on how to survive Russian winter and what to wear in order to survive it.

The winter weather.
First off, check out in the Internet: you have the easiest and the quickest way to search the winter weather in the city you plan on visiting.
Usually it’s rather cold, freezing or below, in the majority areas in Russia in January and February. December is milder. Be prepared to slip on ice and be dusted with snow. Ukraine is warmer.
It can get down to -15 degrees Celsius, give or take 10 degrees during most of the time. And this is considered warm compared to Siberia where you can experience bitter cold.
The way you will survive the Russian winter depends on where you are from and what temps you are used to. Coming from Las Vegas, most countries will feel really cold to you. If you are from Alaska, Russia will seem less freezing.

What to wear in order to survive the Russian winter.
Stock up on warm clothing:
~really warm jacket or a heavy winter coat;
~a shirt and a sweater that you can wear underneath;
~decent fleece lined walking boots;
~thick gloves;
~fleece or flannel lined jeans;
~a fleece or wool scarf;
~a wool hat;
~warm socks.

The piece of advice I can offer:
Dry healthy feet and warm hands help your whole body feel more comfortable; Don’t plan on walking for more than an hour without finding a place to warm up.
I would stay away from the clothing you can not take off in a restaurant: if you are going to use layering system you will be too hot.
A warm jacket, a shirt and a sweater that you can wear underneath are enough. When you get to wherever you are going you take off your warm jacket and you are comfortable.
Going to the restaurant with your pretty Russian girl you will be in a taxi usually.
Capital cities have plenty to do. Smaller ones are quiet in winter.
In conclusion, if you don’t want to stick out like a tourist wear reserved colours like dark blue, brown or black.

Reminder: there are a lot of beautiful single women in Russia, but you are looking for what’s inside, aren’t you?

Is your relationship getting a little stale? Are you feeling like you don’t have enough time for each other? Plan a weekend get away for just the two of you. In many cases this is just what the doctor ordered, the love doctor that is!

When you are planning the weekend try to find something that is new to both of you, not just a new place but even some adventurous undertaking that neither of you have ever done. This will not only bring you closer together but you will also be creating memories that will last a lifetime. It doesn’t really matter what you choose a romantic weekend adventure will bring the sparks back to your relationship.

For many couples a short weekend trip can be all that is needed to rekindle the passion that may be waning. Planning a trip and activities that are new to both of you gives you a chance to explore these new opportunities together as well as learn more about each other. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate, it can be a weekend at a little lake house or if you live on the East Coast of Florida or Georgia you can take a quick trip to the Bahamas pretty cheap! Just be sure to savor the experience fully and enjoy the local food and culture if you go somewhere off the beaten path. You can even do something as simple as go spend the weekend at a nearby city that neither one of you have been to and spend the weekend going to little shops and local restaurants.

If you both like the outdoors consider planning a backpacking or hiking trip. You could even combine kayaking or canoeing for an even more adventurous weekend. Planning a weekend getaway like this takes you away from all the electronic distractions we have allowed to enter our lives and makes you spend time paying attention to each other and actually having real and meaningful conversation. It also requires you to do things together as a team, if you have never gone kayaking or canoeing with anyone you will learn very quickly what I mean.

If you live near the ocean where the water is clear you could go snorkeling. Even is you don’t you could take a scuba diving class together, of course this will require more than one weekend but it will definitely be adventurous if you have never done it. Hire out a plane and go for a ride to see your area from the air, this always gives a new perspective. If you live in an area that offers hot air balloon rides take advantage of that. Taking your lady for a hot air balloon ride is always a romantic thing and can be very exhilarating.

There are tons of weekend romantic adventures that can bring you closer together. The main thing to remember about of this type of adventure is to find something new to do that both of you will enjoy.

First of all, let’s define “friend”. Do we want to find an “old” friend?

Lots of websites specialize in helping you find an “old” existing Friend. These sites are called “classmates”, “reunions”, “public records” or names along the lines of trying to find acquaintances from way back, from school, the Service or previous jobs.

Do we want to find “people”? We can use “publicbackgroundcheck”, “usa-people-search”, “peoplefinders” types of sites for finding people.

If, however, we are looking for love and are calling it friendship initially then things get really complicated. For the word “friendship” the Web comes up with 46,100,000 replies.

So we should be more specific about what exactly the “friend” word means.

“a person you know well and regard with affection and trust;”, “he was my best friend at the university” ally: an associate who provides assistance; “he’s a good ally in fight”; “they were friends of the workers” acquaintance: a person with whom you are acquainted; “I have trouble remembering the names of all my acquaintances”; “we are friends of the family” supporter: a person who backs a politician or a team etc.; “all their supporters came out for the game”; “they are friends of the library” a member of the Religious Society of Friends founded by George Fox (the Friends have never called themselves Quakers) ” wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn.

We can now of course rank friends: good friends, intimate friends, family friends ad infinitum. When we then continue to talk about “friends” and “friendship” we soon start approaching the decision we have to make; do we just want to be penpals or do we want to meet face to face at some point in time.

This brings us to the dangerous word: DATING. Yes, we have now convinced ourselves that we want to date somebody. Just on the Web or for real?

We can now play games based on the fact that most people trying to find dates on the Web are married. Does that surprise you?

Given the anonymity of the Web it is very likely that if I am fat and ugly I don’t want to emphasize this fact when I try to attract a date, so temptation is very great to embellish things a bit and to say in my description that I am “Voluptuous” and “Attractive”.

Who knows, in all likelihood I will never meet this person anyway and this is only fantasy. Guess what?

I now start corresponding in earnest on the Web with this person I know nothing about. I tell this person all my deepest secrets, except the fact that I am ugly and fat.

After doing this for a while my “Date” says that we should meet in person, because it seems we are really compatible. YEEKS! What now?

Well, you brought this on yourself and you have these options: 1. Go on a crash diet and get a face lift. 2. Forget about this person and try again with a new date. 3. Hope your Date is fat and ugly too so you should take a chance and meet anyway. (This takes a lot of courage). 4. Hope your Date is pretty or attractive and VERY understanding and will accept you the way you are. (Fat chance).

So, anyway, there you have it, some of the possibilities you have when you want a Friend.

One thing you should pick up from this : you are probably better off if you are honest to your future friend or date; it may prevent depression, bouts of overeating and Internet Withdrawal Symptoms.

How To Find A Friend / Frank Vanderlugt

Frank Vanderlugt is very interested in Internet Dating. You can find out more about Internet Dating, what to do and what not to do at: http://www.dating-service-now.com http://www.adult-friend-finder-now.info

Since the advent of the Internet, online dating seems to be the next generation of falling in love and getting married.
Love is such a wonderful thing that when shared by two people, the feelings become mutual and the gratifications achieved. All of these are established during the start of dating.
Dating becomes the primary selection ground for people who wish to end up with somebody they can grow old with. It provides them the means to find the right person whom they can share their sentiments, their feelings, problems, etc.

Normally, the stages of dating illustrate continuous experiences. As the couple proceeds on the next level, they get to know another chapter in their matexs life.
However, even if it seems that two people are already mutual with regards to their feelings, there are instances that one of them would ask if their mate is the right person for them. They can feel that they are happy as of the moment but when the concept of finding the right person sinks in; a lot of questions take place.
Even if everything seems to be in perfect condition and that dates are always pleasurable and gratifying, no one can be sure if his or her mate is the right person unless he or she will make extra effort to analyze the situation and the person he or she is currently involved with.

So, for people who wish to know if the person they are dating right now is the right person or if what they are doing is right or wrong, here are some tips on how to identify the real score of the person they are dealing with.

1. It would be better for an individual to assess his or her feelings about the other person.
In order to know if an individual has already found the right person, it is best to assess their feelings towards the other person.For example, an individual should try to identify the other personxs qualities. These qualities that can usually be seen everyday with the person would mean that these are the same qualities that the concerned individual has to deal with.
Hence, it would be better to assess if the concerned individual likes what he or she is seeing or if they can tolerate the personality of the other person.
In the event that the other person has some qualities that are not that desirable, it would be better for the individual to be sure of their feelings about the unlikely behavior. If they think that they can withstand and endure those things even if it will not change, chances are, they have found the right person.
The other person may not literally be righteous but the fact that the concerned individual can accept whatever the other person is, then, it must be love.

2. If the concerned person will get to accept the other personxs faults or shortcomings not because of some hopes that someday he or she will change, then, it must be the right person.
One should realize that accepting somebody should never be conditional. This means that when a person accepts someone who has qualities not included in his or her concept of an ideal mate, he or she should not pose some conditions or expects something regarding future changes.
Because if this is the basis of acceptance, chances are, the concerned individual will only be disappointed in the future and will only make matters worst.

3. If there are no obstacles that will in time kill the flame of love, then, it must be the right person.
If in the event that an individual finds somebody and they feel that the relationship is finally the real thing, it would still be better to assess if there will be no more impediments that would curb the growth of a wonderful relationship.
This simply means that the person should be sure that there will be no elements or factors that will trigger some problems on their relationship in the future like vices, addiction, family problems, previous relationships, etc.
If the coast is clear, then, the concerned person had finally found his or her right mate and that in time the relationship will flourish and be successful.

All of these things are boiled down to the fact that love is not 100% perfect. People should realize that there are no such things as perfect people. As humans, people are susceptible to mistakes, imperfections, flaws, and whatever weaknesses man is destined to entail in his or her personality.
So, the best thing to use when identifying the right person is careful analysis of the individual as a whole and not just the physical attributes where substantial attraction is usually based from.

As CEO of a company which operates some of the most popular dating sites on the net, I’m uniquely positioned to provide some clear and concise facts about the global phenomenon of online dating. In six bite-sized chunks I’m going to give you the whole truth about a past-time that has become part of the fabric of the lives of single people everywhere where a computer screen is affordable by or accessible to the masses.

1. Two out of every five single people aged 24 – 50 currently use, or have used an online dating service. Yes, you read that correctly – it’s 40%! Now think of all the single friends you have; how many of them have actually told you that they’ve signed-up to a site in order to kick start their love lives? Not many I would wager. That’s because in spite of the popularity of the medium, there is a still a social stigma attached to dating sites; when people meet a partner this way, they generally pretend to their friends that they’ve met in a bar or at some kind of party or work related function. One of the fastest growing activities in the world is still something most people wont admit to doing.

2. Only about 5% of people who join dating sites actually end up in a relationship with someone they first make contact with at their chosen site. Let’s equate this to the ‘real’ world; you walk into a room full of one hundred strangers and how many of them would you be attracted to? Probably no more than ten. And that’s if you’re lucky. It’s the same in cyberspace – how many total strangers will there be on any site that really press all the right buttons for you? So when you register with a site, don’t expect miracles because your love life in cyberspace is no different to the reality of everyday life.

3. Only 10% of people who join dating sites get any messages at all from other members. There’s a reason for this – the other 90% don’t deserve any success. People who refuse to upload photos of themselves or post profiles which look like they can’t really be bothered to say anything about themselves will just be ignored. The 10% who get noticed create upbeat, confident, humorous profiles, don’t have any qualms about posting a picture of themselves and are proactive about contacting other members. If your site doesn’t work you, you shouldn’t blame the site just as a bad workman shouldn’t blame his tools.

4. Popular dating sites are popular for one reason and one reason only. They work. In every territory, you’ll find a handful of sites that outstrip all the others in terms of the volume of their registrations and their reputations in general. You’ll also find that none of these sites are free. The sites which look the best, have the best features and offer good customer service are expensive to run and maintain. You get what you pay for on line as well as in all walks of life; if the owners of a dating site don’t have the confidence in their product to actually charge for it, you have to ask yourself why that is. Relatively speaking, joining a dating site is very inexpensive compared to, say, going out for a nice meal or taking a trip to the theatre and the potential of finding a great new relationship makes the risk/reward ratio a no-brainer.

5. Global sites which can boast hundreds of thousands of members from all four corners of the globe are a waste of time unless you’re looking for a pen-pal. These sites might sound rather impressive – “We have 5,000,000 members worldwide!!” – but so what? What you should be concerned with when you’re choosing a site is how many members they have in your city, your town or your village. So if you’re serious about find a partner, stick to city or country specific sites and take the ‘global’ hype with a pinch of salt.

6. The percentage of men on dating sites is disproportionate to that of women. Most services comprise about 60% men and 40% women so as far as the on line arena is concerned, it’s the girls who are calling the shots. They have more choice and can therefore be more discerning about who they contact or write back to. So guys, if you want to stand out from the crowd, check out paragraph 3 above; write a great profile and post a flattering pic and you’ll be just fine.

So there you have it; to make a success of online dating, all you have to do is pick the right site and post an eye-catching profile and photo and if it works for you…don’t keep it a big secret – tell your single friends all about it so they can get a piece of the action too!

It’s unbelievable that schools does not teach us everything that we have to know but left out one important subject, that is Personal Finance Management. No wonder we see rising cases of people with bad debts and bad credit.

Here are 5 ideas to better manage your personal finance.

Build a savings account Your money is something that you work very hard for. If you want to build a savings account for yourself, and for your family, you can do it – but perhaps a little slower than you might like. You can get started by saving all the change you get from shopping at the grocery store, from the gas station and from anywhere else you might go. Putting all this change into a container, you can then fill the container, day by day. As the container is full, roll the coins and deposit this money into your new savings account. You might be surprised, but in just two weeks it is possible you saved twenty dollars, or even one hundred dollars. Your savings account will grow, and you will be managing your money at the same time!

Paying bills on time Paying your bills on time is going to be a something you need to make a habit for your entire life. Your credit report, your credit rating and your personal credit worthiness is going to depend on how often you are on time when paying your bills. Paying your bills on time is important for a solid financial future. As you pay bills on time, you are less likely to pay higher interest rates, you are not going to pay late fees, and you will build a good credit rating at the same time. To pay your bills on time, all the time, use a system that will have all your bills put into a pile in the same place. Put the bills that are due first on the top of the pile. Put the bills that are due at the end of the month in the bottom of the pile. Look at the pile every day, or at very least every other day. When you have the money, pay the bill on the top of the pile and work your way through all the bills for the month, and then you can start on the bills for next month!

Building good credit To build good credit you want to pay your bills on time, and avoid paying those higher interest rates. If you have good credit, you want to keep it. What some people do not realize is that you can hurt your credit if you are moving often. Moving every month, moving every year, and moving more than needed it going to lower your credit score. If you live in the same house, the same apartment for over five years this is going to help your credit. Avoid moving when possible. Get a copy of your credit report; review the addresses that are listed for you. Remove addresses that are not applicable to where you have lived in the past.

Use coupons and save money If you are not using coupons now, you should be. With the price of everything going up, and up, you need to learn to make your money ‘go further’. To make your money last longer, and to get more for your money seek out coupons for the goods and services that you always purchase. The secret to using coupons is this: don’t use, clip or keep coupons for items that you don’t usually use in your home. Coupons are enticing to get you to try other items, and sometimes can cost you even more money. Clip coupons from the Sunday paper, from the Internet online coupon sites, and look for coupons on the products you already purchase. This is going to give you the best savings possible, stretching out the money you have, and that you want to make last much longer for your household budget.

Money management involves working for a living Money management is a budgetary thing, meaning you need to know how much money you have, and how much money you can spend. If you are spending more money than you are earning, you are most likely relying on your credit cards just way too much. If you are relying on your credit cards, your payments are going up and you will never pay off those credit cards. Money management involves your earning money, and spending the money you earn, and not more than that. If you need more money in your home budget, you can do a few things: get a new job with better pay, ask for a raise, get a second job, or build a business of your own. Relying on others for handouts, making minimums payments on credit cards you can’t afford, and living beyond your means is only going to come back to cause you trouble later in life.

Asthma is a serious condition affecting millions of people. Its rapid rise among all developed countries is cause for deep concern. In response to this alarming trend, researchers are working diligently to find more effective treatments for those already diagnosed with the disease, and possibly a cure to stop its progression.

According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, “Asthma is a chronic lung disorder of enormous public health importance that affects 10 to 12 percent of the population; it disproportionately affects children, minorities, and persons of lower socioeconomic status.” Asthma is the leading cause of school absences and the most common cause for childhood emergency room visits. The economic cost of asthma surpasses 12 billion dollars annually.

Despite an increase in our understanding of the progression of the disease, the effects of allergy triggers on the body and the way our bodies react to them, and the great strides in diagnosing and treating asthma, the number of people diagnosed, sick or that have died from the disease continues to rise.

Our lungs are filled with hollow tube like passages that resemble the branches on a tree. These passages gradually become smaller and smaller ending in tiny pockets where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. For those with asthma, swelling in the hollow tubes that fill the lungs makes breathing difficult and uncomfortable. This inflammation causes an increased sensitivity to allergens and a host of other asthma triggers like exercise, medications, stress, pollution, humidity and even laughter.

The symptoms of asthma vary from person to person; early morning or late night coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, fatigue, anxiety and shortness of breath are all common. Allergen induced asthma usually becomes apparent before the age of 35. Non-allergic asthma usually has its onset in middle age and can be triggered or worsened by reflux disease, exercise, weather changes and illness.

Research is underway in several key directions, and on a global scale, to find more effective treatments and possibly even a cure for asthma. Secondary intervention studies, risk assessment, environmental intervention and assessing allergen exposures all allow researchers to explore different treatment options to deal with the symptoms of those who already have asthma. Studying the genetics and hereditary components of the disease, and the pathogenesis and mechanics, may someday lead to a cure.

Research progress is dependant on funding, and the participation of those who have or are at risk of developing asthma either through lifestyle or genetics. Funding for research comes from many sources: private companies and foundations, private citizens, corporate donations and government grants – but money is often scarce; and with so many important and deserving projects, the competition for gaining the needed funding can be fierce.

Great strides have been made in the area of asthma, but the steady rise in new cases suggests that greater strides are necessary. Researchers all over the world are working hard to develop new treatment modalities and possibly even a cure for this chronic and often debilitating disease.

If you are going to Prague then check out our guide of the top things to do.

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is a magical mix of East meets West, intermingling minarets and church steeples in a colorful mélange of shapes and styles. Situated at the very heart of Europe, on the interconnected routes of ancient trading roads, Prague blends both the ancient and the modern in an enticing mélange of styles, attractions and cuisine.

Don’t debark on an empty stomach. The Prague Airport offers food and drink, but at prices that would make a Rockefeller blanch. If you must have something to eat, go to the McDonald’s in the terminal, and save your gastronomic curiosity for the restaurants in town.

Stay in the Residence Lundborg, a four-star hotel converted from a 700-year-old house to luxurious and fairly inexpensive suites. Located in the heart of historic Prague, it’s a short walk to the Charles Bridge and the castle in Old Town. The neighborhood around the Lundborg is replete with cozy, home-style restaurants. Choose from high-calorie dishes such as potato soup, or choose main courses like roast pork with dumplings or sauerkraut. Eat apple strudel for dessert; you’re on vacation. Walk off your dinner by visiting Saint Vitus Cathedral, or tour the square in Old Town.

Or choose the five-star Esplanade Hotel. Just steps from Wenceslas Square in Old Town, and close to the State Opera House, the Esplanade is an Art Nouveau structure dedicated to providing restful yet luxurious surroundings and all the amenities a discerning traveler could want.

If you are looking for cheaper options, then why not try the Sax Hotel, with it’s classic architecture with unique inner atrium and vistas that encompass Lesser Town, the Strahov Monastery, the castle and the old Church of St. Nicholas. The Sax is in one of the oldest parts of Prague but well kept and modernized to accommodate the discerning traveler. The prices will appeal to budget-conscious travelers. Because of its grand old age and relative seclusion, the Sax offers a visitors a more personal service which is not always found at some of the larger hotels.

Whilst on your city break in Prague, be sure not to miss the impressive medieval Astronomical Clock. Located on the south-facing wall of the Old Town City Hall, this clock – built originally in 1410 – chimes on the hour. Simultaneously, wooden figures which represent the 12 apostles pass by the window above the astronomical dial. Other figures include Death, holding an hourglass, Vanity, a man holding a mirror, and Greed, a man carrying a money bag. Other statues feature an astronomer, a time-keeper, a philosopher and an angel. If you are a fan of cuckoo clocks, you are sure to be amazed by this medieval timepiece!

Don’t forget to tour the Black Tower. Originally built as a prison in 1135, past inmates have left their inscriptions on the walls for history to see. Many of these date right back to the 16th century. The name Black derives not from the tower’s use but from a fire at the castle in 1541; the walls of the castle remained black for decades. The tower has not been altered since 1538Computer Technology Articles, and is currently used to store various Czech archeological discoveries.

This Valentine’s Day, why not take the time to appreciate someone who rarely gets your attention; someone who deserves a thoughtful gift and a few kind words? Someone like – you! Whether you are single or attached, Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to send yourself a gift of thanks and appreciation. This year, why not be your own valentine?

Do you remember sending valentines when you were a child? Can you recall the construction paper-covered shoebox, decorated with glitter and doilies, full of tiny valentines and heart candies? Or perhaps the first serious Valentine’s Day gifts you received, or your first delivery of one dozen red roses?Receiving a Valentine’s Day gift is a magical experience. It makes people smile, sometimes even feel a bit giddy. After all, this holiday is not about obligatory gifts. When you receive a Valentine’s Day gift, you know the giver cares about you.

Valentine’s Day, while traditionally for sweethearts, is really just a day to show the ones you love how much you care. Friends and family routinely send Valentine’s Day cards; even moms get valentines from their own children.

This Valentine’s Day, why not take the time to appreciate someone who rarely gets your attention; someone who deserves a thoughtful gift and a few kind words? Someone like – you! Whether you are single or attached, Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to send yourself a gift of thanks and appreciation. This year, why not be your own valentine?In your list of things to do each day, where do you factor in? Most women focus on meeting the needs of others before taking care of themselves. Over time, depriving yourself of a much-needed break or indulgence can cause you to feel weary, even a little sad. Still, a special gift and some self-care can be just the pick-me-up you need.

Start thinking of Valentine’s Day as a time to celebrate you. Prepare to treat yourself in the same way you prepare to send a gift to your partner or special friend. Be as thoughtful for yourself as you would be for the important people in your life. Carefully planned gifts always stand out among the last minute trinkets and candies. Take the time to consider what you would love to receive.

Perhaps you have resisted buying a special piece of jewelry, or a beautiful dress. Maybe you would love to have a day at the spa, but have put it off due to time constraints. Even if you are on a budget, there are small indulgences that would make a perfect gift to you. A box of French milled soaps, a new pair of shoes, or perhaps a magazine subscription.

Being your own Valentine also means taking the time to celebrate. Take a two-hour lunch break from work and treat yourself to a meal at a nice restaurant. Snuggle up to watch your favorite movie with yummy snacks. Have a long soak in a bubble bath with a glass of champagne. Spend the day meandering through the cute antique shops you always meant to check out, but never got around to finding the time to explore.

However you decide to care for yourself this Valentine’s Day, remember in order to be your own valentine, you will need to send yourself a card. Write a thoughtful note to yourself, listing what you love about yourself, and why you know you are special. Put the card in the mail ahead of time, so that it arrives in before February 14th.

Make being your own valentine an annual tradition, a time when it’s okay to take time off to take care of you. It’s the perfect time of year to pay extra special attention to your own needs and desires, to have the kind of fun you like to haveComputer Technology Articles, and to notice your unique loveliness.
