I know what you might be thinking. You might be thinking I’ve heard all this before or, worse, Oh dear, this is going to be one of those horrible motivational speaking things to get me all energised. In fact it’s neither, it’s just the story of a girl (me) who didn’t believe in counselling…until she actually tried it out.

I work at a banner stands company in the marketing company. My job is reasonably high-pressure – my days are spent trying to convince companies to buy our stands at a price which is better than our competitors. And to be honest, for a long time I wasn’t even aware I was stressed. Until one day, when my boyfriend sat me down and pointed out that whenever he did the slightest thing wrong, I exploded and bit his head off.

They don’t know you, and you can be as open as you like with them…

To begin with I exploded again, and it took a while for me to calm down. By the point my boyfriend had, quite rightly, decided to take a walk and leave me to it. When he got back I said to him: “So you think I need help or what?” There was then a long-winded discussion where we both cried a lot. The conclusion was that help couldn’t ever be a bad thing.

Here is what I learned and maybe it’ll help you too:

1) Counselling isn’t always beyond your financial reach. Yes, some places charge a lot per hour, but others work it out depending on you annual income – that seemed much fairer to me (selling stands might sound glamourous — right! — but actually it’s not as well-paid as I would like!).

2) Talking to a total stranger about your issues is actually really easy. They don’t know you, and you can be as open as you like with them. Great, right?

3) It does feel better to get stuff off your chest and out into the open. With the words comes a sense that things are changing. Which they are. And whatever happens, at least you can say you tried.

It’s traditional for us Brits to moan about the weather, isn’t it? I’m sure someone did a survey a few years ago and found that if you put two British strangers together in a relatively confined space, the first thing they’ll talk about is what the weather’s like outside – whether it’s good or bad. Unless the two strangers happen to be blokes in a pub, of course, in which case they’ll probably start analysing Arsenal’s back four before they even remember there’s an outside to talk about!

So, in true British tradition, I’m going to have a good old moan about the weather. Autumn weather, to be exact. I love summer (who doesn’t?) and spring has a certain freshness that you can’t help but appreciate even on the chilliest mornings. Even a proper snowy winter day has its charms. As long as you have nowhere to be and nowhere to go. But autumn is just crap. Wet, windy and utterly, well, woeful. It’s no wonder everyone starts suffering from SAD when October rolls around. Even the normally cheery guy who does our window cleaning Surrey was looking utterly miserable today. Hardly surprising when you think that a squally rain shower ruined all his hard work just minutes after he packed up his ladders.

I was trying to think how you could get away from autumnal weather or at least try and make the best of it, but short of winning the lottery and heading to Spain from the last day of sunshine until the first day of snowfall, I think I might be stuck with it. Perhaps I should take a “leaf” out my nephew’s book and treat autumn as an excuse to go tearing around the streets, kicking leaves, twigs and bits of dead tree into the air. Mind you, that cloud looks a bit ominous…

These days most people have a computer, typewriter, or even a cellular phone. These are just a few of the devices that have a keyboard and if you look more closely you will see that the letters are arranged in a particular order that is not alphabetic.

Right from the days of the typewriter, when women sometimes wore latex gloves to type, the keyboard had not been arranged in alphabetical order.

The answer

The QWERTY system came about in 1873 and was invented by Christopher Latham Sholes. It is now the more dominant method used in arranging the letters on the typewriter keyboard. Some people may think that the letters on the keyboard are arranged randomly, but this is not so. They are arranged based on the letters that are more frequently used.

The letters on the keyboard are also purposely arranged to slow people down. If it had been arranged alphabetically, people would have typed too fast and it would have affected the mechanical arm of the keyboard.

The QWERTY was made more popular because at the time typewriters with this layout were being sold much more than others with different layouts. The company that sold these QWERTY typewriters also encouraged a standard layout. When the typewriter came with both upper case and lowercase letter and a shift key the typewriter took off as something to have.

There is another kind of system with which the keyboard is made. This system is referred to as the Dvorak system. But it is not as commonly used as the QWERTY system in arranging the keyboard on both computers and typewriters.

I tend to be an optimist. It is a good trait. I was in a traffic accident last month, and I was lucky enough to win a neck injury claim. It was a tremendous gift because I had the resources to go out and get some excellent massage therapy. I actually met my therapist while he was doing chair massages at my local health food store. It was after my GP had told me all was well, but I was still achy and unhappy. I had some cash in my pocket from the claim, so I decided to give it a go. As I sat down, the scent of lavender filled my nose and I felt immediately relaxed. As I was easing into the chair, he asked me if there was anything in particular that I would like him to work on. I mentioned the car accident and he slowly set to work on loosening up the muscles in my upper back. He spoke gently about how when something goes wrong, all of the other muscles tense up and the only option is to work to relax the entire system of muscles.The five minutes was great and I thought that would be the end of it. As I was getting ready to leave, he gave me his card and suggested that aromatherapy combined with massage would work wonders for my neck. I called him and made an appointment the next day. He really hit it on the head. My stress had made the whole thing worse and an hour of relaxing scents and warms oils was just what I needed.

So a friend of mine was doing her best recently to interest me in taking a class to learn pole dance when she suddenly told me in no uncertain manner that she suffered from Diabetes Mellitus. I was surprised and we talked about it and how it is affecting her life.

Now I found out later that day that Diabetes Mellitus is one of the major illnesses women. This is an illness considered the culprit of several other diseases and organ damage. There are some specific major signs particularly in women which give clear clues as to the presence of diabetes.

Major Signs in Women:

An increased desire to drink more water and to also eat more. She needs to go to the toilet more frequently to urinate. A woman with diabetes mellitus gets tired more easily. She has significant weight loss, infections in her vagina and on her skin, problems with vision such as reduced ability to see things clearly.

Significant Signs in Women:

The other significant signs include dry mouth, frequent headache, breathing difficulties, loss of sensory over feet and hands, gastro-intestinal upset, inability to sleep, and loss of concentration to work properly.

Diagnosing Diabetes is Still a Dilemma:

However, it should be noted that diabetes in many cases is discovered in an incidental way, since many women do not develop any significant sign via which the disease could be guessed or diagnosed. It is better for a woman to keep on checking her level of sugar in blood on a regular basis, especially if she possesses a strong family history on diabetes mellitus.

As you all might know I am a bit of a nut when I come on to diets. So the other day after I had bought myself a R4 flash card, I came upon a magazine that was advertising the Apple cider vinegar diet on one of its pages so I gave it a read because I had never heard of it before. Here is a short synopsis of what I read.

The Apple cider vinegar diet is a natural way to burn fat. There is no proof that this diet is going to work but it’s considered as a natural and inexpensive way to lose weight.

There is no meal plan to follow so following this diet is really easy. What you have to do is to take two or three tsp. of apple cider vinegar before each meal.

Don’t try to take three tsp. at first and start with one tsp. Take some time to get used to the taste. You can also mix juice or water with it to make it more pleasant. You can also try capsules or tablets of apple cider vinegar. But, apple cider vinegar is acidic and it can damage your teeth enamel or irritate the stomach.

To get the best out of this diet, exercise regularly and eat moderately. The ingredients that are used for making apple cider vinegar are vitamins, amino acids, mineral salts and vinegar.

Keep in mind people that according to some research, some doctors, and nutritionists believe that this diet doesn’t produce any effective results. But, some positive results were also found in some research.

How To Begin A Murder Mystery Book : If you love murder…

I am researching a children’s book at the moment, the hero is going to be called TrishaLaser Hair, and she will be able to magic herself to any place and time in history. It is going to be sort of like a rastamouse meets riot girl cartoon, where the whole history of race, class, and colonialism is going to be completely de-constructed and children will learn all about people all over the world.

How absolutely fabulous to create a twenty first century hero. Laser girl herself, will change voices, and colour, she can become animal, vegetable or mineral. I was inspired by the super friends cartoon which had the wonder twin characters. They would put their first together and say ’wonder twin powers activate shape of an …ice pig’. Well, I don’t think they were actually ever ice pigs, that is just a joke that a friend of mine used to do.

Laser girl is going to go into a special allotment or garden shed, where her grandpa in my pocket type aunt has built her the laser before she died. Maybe that is actually a bit too sad. I am stuck at the moment trying to figure out how she gets this incredibly important scientific device. It doesn’t seem realistic that she would be able to invent it herself.

Maybe, this crazy scientist aunt, gave it to her without instructions before she was taken away by aliens, and then laser girl keeps messing up and going to different places while she figures out how to use it to go save her aunt?

Perfect, I’ll get a little gang of multi cultural kids in to help her. I am just so completely sick of the whole narrow approach to children’s television that I thought I would do something positive—-zooom to the future laser girl!
