Asbestos Litigation

The Asbestos inhalation-induced toxicity to workers and their relatives has been the cause of serious health ailments, including the malignant mesothelioma. Asbestos Litigation is a multi-billion dollar industry of lawyers and law firms that specialize in the provision of compensation to people suffering from mesothelioma and/or other serious Asbestos-related health ailments.

The law aims to provide ?all? that is lost, but fails. The law works to provide compensation for the consequences produced by the carcinogenic Asbestos, and includes the cost of medical care, rehabilitation, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and the affected life enjoyment resulting in emotional distress, pain and suffering. Punitive damages that result in the punishment of the defendants for their unlawful and unethical conduct are rare, and are based on the defendant?s wealth size and misdeed extent.

The ugly side of Asbestos Litigation is its misuse for monetary gain. This fraudulent way of gaining riches has taken its shelter in Asbestos Litigation. People who aim for money have been increasingly involved in filing false cases of Asbestos-induced health ailments. This results in the weakening of the cases of those who deserve compensation for real ailments, and brings many questions to mind. It therefore becomes essential to distinguish real sufferers from the expert pretenders in the market of advertised law and lawyers.

It is often difficult to determine whether someone has been exposed to asbestos, aside from their own personal testimony. Medical research on asbestos in humans is rare or non-existent, since the substance is deadly. The fiber is currently being phased out from all public use.

Asbestos provides detailed information on asbestos, asbestos and mesothelioma, asbestos cancer, asbestos exposure and more. Asbestos is affiliated with Lung Cancer Stages.

Rudraksha The Ancient Indian Power Bead for Success Self Empowerment Well Being and Growth

Rudraksha are beads which grow on select Rudraksha ? Elaeocarpus Ganitras Roxb trees from select locations of South East Asia (Java, parts of Malaysia) and South Asia (Northern India and Nepal). They have powerful Electromagnetic properties which help in controlling Stress Levels, Blood Pressure, Hypertension, and induce tranquil feeling in the wearer. They also improve Concentration, Focus and Mental Stamina. Rudraksha have been widely used by people of Eastern cultures like Chinese, Buddhist, Tao, Japanese, Zen, Korean, and Indian since ages. It was found that wearing these beads around the heart instilled tranquility, and calmness which were found ideal for focused meditation which was an important aspect of Eastern culture.

Rudraksha beads have many other powerful properties in transforming one?s personality and outlook in a positive way. Studies have proven that Rudraksha have Electromagnetic, Paramagnetic and Inductive properties varying for different mukhis or facets and on wearing a particular mukhi or a set of mukhis specific Electrical impulses are sent to the brain stimulating certain positive brain centers (brain chemicals) thereby causing a transformation in the personality, outlook, charisma, and confidence of the wearer. It was also found that wearing Rudraksha beads controlled heart beat, in turn smothering the amount of blood going to the brain. It can be noted that at times of high stress and lack of focus there is a gushing of blood circulation to the brain and vice versa. With the help of these beads a kind of Tranquility, Concentration and Focus was easily achieved. It is found that those wearing Rudraksha beads have among other benefits also found the Stress levels reduced to unexpected levels something which was possible only with heavy and continued dose of tranquillisers. Rudraksha beads emit positive vibrations flushing out all the negativity in physical and mind level.

Thousands of persons who have worn authentic Rudraksha beads have repeatedly confirmed that it has given them considerable relief from Blood Pressure, Stress, Hypertension, Depression, and other mind related problems including neurotic conditions. Rudraksha has been found to boost the confidence and inner strength of the wearers significantly. Apart from the general purpose beads mostly 4,5 and 6mukhis there are more powerful Rudraksha beads from 1 mukhi till 21 mukhi each capable of aligning our mind and the positive energies around us to specific aspects like Prosperity, Creativity, Intutive Ability, Speculation, Sexual Harmony, etc. Surely Rudraksha are the wonder beads helping us perform better and lead a more successful life. Even for achieving success in business or professional carrear it has been found that the blessings of various Gods/Goddesses ruling different facet Rudraksha has proved greatly beneficial and several lives have got a new direction and positive success. However we also say a lot more research certainly needs to be done to really understand the miraculous powers of this powerful bead.

Rudraksha is a seed of a fruit which is covered with a pulp and an outer skin. The skin is green in colour like a banana skin, but when plucked from the tree and allowed to remain as it is, the colour of the skin turn blackish blue. The diameter of the seed is upto 1inch and is nearly round in shape and belongs to the Elaeocarpus Ganitras family. The seed can have `1 to 14 mukhis or facets but Rudraksha till 21 mukhis or facets have also been obtained. The mukhi or facet is easy to count and is a natural division of the seed. A mukhi is a complete line from the top to bottom of the Rudraksha. The Indian epics are full of varying effects of the various faces. Most commonly found is the 5 mukhi which contributes to almost 90% of the entire crop and as the mukhis keep on increasing the rarity of the bead also increases. Prices of the different mukhis is on the availability of the bead and not on the effect of the bead.

Do Supplements Really Improve Performance?

The choice to use supplements is personal... But in my opinion the greatest amount of performance improvement is still made by proper physical training.

Have you ever looked at a Muscle/Bodybuilding magazine or website to get workout tips?

Assuming you have... you know that you can't turn a page without some type of ad for supplements.

It almost makes you feel that you cannot achieve any level of strength, conditioning or fitness without taking one or more of these miraculous, and expensive, supplements.

Obviously, all your physical shortcomings are due to improper supplementation.

Or are they?

If you believe the supplement ad, the reason you don't look like that fitness model in the picture is because you have not been drinking your $40 power shake after every workout.

But most likely it is your choice of physical training methods, stresses, intensities and the frequency of your training that is keeping you from reaching your goals.

Let's take a look at the word supplement for a minute...

These power mixes and concoctions are meant to supplement your daily diet... suggesting that strength, conditioning and fitness cannot be achieved through a regular healthy diet.

Oh, really?

I find it hard to believe that in a society that grossly overeats that the bodily changes that occur because of physical training cannot be supported by proper nutrition and diet... That the daily intake of food needs to be further supplemented by a power shake.

Well, I'm not going to dwell on the effectiveness or uselessness of these products... Ultimately, the choice to use supplements or not is a personal one.

I just want to give you something to think about...

Let's say that there is a liquid formula that you pour into the gas tank of your car that will increase the output of the engine by 10%.

Sounds great... right?

Well, let's also say that your car also has two flat tires, a dead battery and bad breaks.

What do you think will improve the performance of your car more... pouring the liquid formula, supplement, into the gas tank, or fixing the tires, battery and breaks?

The truth is, using supplements is no substitute for proper physical training... and more strength, conditioning and fitness improvements can be made by proper physical training than the use of supplements.

Your time and energy, not to mention your money, will be best spent by participating in an effective, interesting, modifiable and sustainable physical fitness program that focuses on the improvement of the 10 physical abilities needed for strength, conditioning and fitness excellence.

If you are like me, you physically train to improve performance in the physical abilities that will enable you to meet the challenges of sport, work and life with excellence.

These type of improvements do not come in a bottle or powder... but are the result of proper physical training that reinforces your strengths and focuses on improving your weaknesses.

If you really want to become a better human being through physical training... concentrate on your choice of training methods, stresses and intensities.

My advice...

Focus on proper fitness training first... and then decide whether or not you need supplements.

Most likely you will exceed your expectations... without the use of supplements.

Lighthearted Meditation: Playing With Mindfulness

I often meet people who say things like, I've been working on mindfulness for over twenty years.

My response is always this: Oh, you poor thing! Have you tried *playing* with mindfulness? It's very effective, and much more fun!

They tend to look at me like I'm some kind of kook, and then ask the million-dollar question: How can you play with mindfulness? Glad you asked....

We tend to think of mindfulness as something that develops only after years of dedicated meditation. We must sit for hours, contemplate in silence for days, go on retreats for weeks, practice daily for years. Okay, that can work.

The unfortunate thing is that it IS work, and consequently, it's about as appealing to most folks as lying on a bed of nails. Sure, they want to develop a clearer perspective on life. Yes, they want to become calm and contemplative. Of course they want to live more meaningfully and with greater joy. But does it have to be so hard?

Absolutely not. You see, while most people knock politely on that front door of meditation in order to get inside the House of Mindfulness, I like to sneak people in the back door to steal a few cookies. Why can't we play with mindfulness, dance with it, treat it like our favorite goofy cousin who happens to be brilliant instead of our strict uncle who happens to have a Ph.D?

Why can't we tiptoe toward mindfulness through eyes-wide-open exercises that are engaging, uplifting, informative, and--dare I say it--fun?

Mindfulness should be like a big game of mental hide-and-seek: Where am I now? Gotcha!

As a student of Buddhism for nearly 30 years, I have the greatest respect for the Buddha and the philosophy that developed around his teachings. I have tremendous admiration for those who have dedicated themselves to a regular meditation practice.

But it's disturbing to me that mindfulness is seen as belonging to Buddhism and that meditation is seen as the only vehicle that will take us there. This sounds a bit like, oh, attachment? Clinging, perhaps?

I just can't find it in my heart to believe that the Buddha would be ticked off about the idea of developing mindfulness in whatever way works best.

Not everyone likes the idea of meditation, but here's the cool part: those who start off with easy, enjoyable exercises often find themselves seeing the value in sitting still. In fact, many clients say they'd never have started with meditation, but they so enjoyed playing with mindfulness that they have begun a regular sitting practice!

Sneaky? Sure, but that's part of playing. Fun--in whatever form that takes--is what keeps us going back for more. If you're not grinning, you're not winning in this big ol' game of life. If working on mindfulness isn't working for you, try playing instead.

Throw open the doors. Let your inner monk go out and play. It's recess!

Pain Relief Drugs 101 What You Need to Know

Ever given a piece of thought to how actually one feels that a part of his/her body is paining? Majority of the response to this question will be in the negative. And ironically it is one piece of information that a person should be aware of.

Whenever a part of our body is hurt, the pain makes that part ache but the actual sensation is felt in the brain. There are various kinds of receptors in our brain and each is attributed with a different type of sensation. The process can be explained as follows. Every time part of our body is damaged, the damaged tissue releases chemicals ? called prostaglandins ? making the pain more acute. These chemicals on coming in contact with the cells in the damaged tissue, with the help of enzyme called cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), further release chemicals. Also, these prostaglandins react with the nerve endings to send signals to the brain where the sensation of the pain is felt.

One importance of pain that can be highlighted here is that they keep reminding a person of the hurt, so that till the time injury is healed they are more careful about it. Pain can also result without a direct injury being caused, for example arthritis.

Thankfully because of the advancements of the medicine, various types of medications are available to deal with different types of pains felt. A wide range of medicines start right from one as mild as Aspirin to something as strong as Narcotics, which should be only taken through a proper prescription of a medical practitioner and thus, it becomes necessary to take such medicines with highest degree of caution as every medicine has its own kind of side effects.

One of the most common pain relievers is Acetaminophen (popularly also known as paracetamol , and has established its 30 years of usage. It can also be used for curing fevers in children and adults apart from relieving pain.

As against acetaminophen, Narcotics are also used to cure pain but is adopted if no other medicine is able to effectively affect a patient, even though it is the greatest pain reliever than any medication prescribed. This is due to the numerous side effects that are associated with it, which includes chemical dependence. There are various types of Narcotics (OxyContin, Demerol, Hydrocodone) and have their own set of side effects. One of the most peculiar features of Hydrocodone is that it can even cause death.

There are various cautions that one should adopt while undergoing a pain relief medication, as many risks are associated with it. Primarily one should make the doctor aware of the medicines that are normally taken by the patient in the normal course for ordinary pains or any other thing as they can react with the pain relievers to cause side effects. Also, it should be told to the doctor if the patient is already associated with any disease apart from the on for which the doctor is consulted. Another thing to be kept in mind is that the pain relievers taken by the patient should not be stopped without consulting his doctor.

So now knowing this every one has a reason to take utmost precautions. God bless us all.

Bodybuilding Magic In The Last Rep

Bodybuilding enthusiasts, as well as strength training participants, all want quick, visible muscle defining results. Their main goal is to add different degrees of lean tissue or fat burning muscle to their bodies all according to personal objectives. Bodybuilders want to add as much muscle mass as possible, while fitness enthusiast want to either maintain muscle mass, or slightly increase strength and size. It all depends upon the specific goals and objectives of each participant.

Bodybuilding magic occurs not during the first rep, but the last. Do you know the last, most difficult, repetition triggers 90% of muscle building results?

The main principle in increasing muscle strength and size is overload.If you place a greater stress on your muscles than you had during the previous workout, that specific muscle will be stimulated, and overloaded enough causing an adaptive responsive. This event results in greater strength and muscle tissue development. The adaptive response is dependent upon the intensity of that last magic, muscle producing rep.

Bodybuilding and strength training participants should really focus on conquering that last, near impossible muscle building repetition.A valiant effort of trying to move that last rep will trigger the muscle group to adapt, and grow stronger.

Don't give up too easily when you feel the weight is challenging. Battle that rep for at least 4 seconds. Even if you are unable to complete the full rep, you have succeeded, and the muscle building growth process will follow. That is, only if you have had sufficient rest between workouts. It is not during the bodybuilding workout when muscle building results occur, but rather after consecutive rest days to allow for muscle building compensation followed by overcompensation.

The last rep is the stimulus that triggers this whole process which bodybuilding and strength gains are based upon. Please note, this whole process can be short circuited by not allowing enough rest time between workouts for overcompensation to occur. If you allow your body sufficient rest, your muscle strength will continue to increase with each subsequent bodybuilding workout. If not, you need more days off to recover from the previous workout. You only have a limited number of resource recovery abilities available, so don't short circuit your results by not allowing the recovery process to finish.

Instead of focusing on which bodybuilding supplement brings good bodybuilding fortune, focus on what really matters - the last, muscle building rep. Then allow your body to do the rest.

Your primary goal should be to reach that repetition you can't complete after struggling four or more seconds. If you follow this last rep, maximum stress, followed by sufficient rest principle, then you will see magic in your bodybuilding results.
