Things to avoid when dealing with difficult people:
BB has been a difficult person to deal with. He gave problems again this morning. I got the following from the internet to help myself.
Avoid these “don'ts” when dealing with difficult people:
(1) Don't take difficult people's behavior personally. Their troublesome behavior is habitual and affects most people with whom they come in contact.
(2) Don't fight back or try to beat them at their own games. They have been practicing their skills for a lifetime, and you're an amateur.
(3) Don't try to appease them. Difficult people have an insatiable appetite for more.
(4) Don't try to change them. You can only change your responses to their behavior.

Recipe of Green Smoothie: Spinach + Banana + Ice cubes [First Trial on 24 November 2008]
At about 1930 pm on 2008-11-24 Tue, I made the following smoothie (First Trial for this recipe) with the following:
(a) 100g raw spinach
(b) 100g banana without skin
(c) ice cubes 100g
Method: Use Smoothie Function of Philips Blender HR 2094 3 times for about 30 seconds each time with a 5-second break in between.
Basic information of the product
Quantity =About 330 ml
No. Of Serves = 1 (330 ml)
Taster: Myself
Verdict: Ok. Smooth because of the banana. The taste is as good as pure fruits smoothie. If the smoothie is good for my health, it is acceptable. My main concern is that the spinach I used was not organic. Any residual pesticide left on the spinach???

What determines a person's state of health [Ref: H08K16-CPHP]
In short, whether a person is healthy or not depends on what a person eats and how that person lives day to day.
What determines a person's state of health is the daily accumulation of things such as food, water, exercise, sleep, work and stress.

What are the standard Blood Pressure Classifications?
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) jointly developed the following blood pressure classification. This classification, however, this is only a general guideline because your optimum blood pressure depends on your age, morbidity, and treatment strategy by a physician. Consult your physician to determine your optimum blood pressure.
| | Systolic (mm Hg) | Diastolic (mm Hg) |
| Optimal | Less than 120 | Less than 80 |
| Normal | Less than 130 | Less than 85 |
| High-Normal | 130 to 139 | 85 to 89 |
| Stage 1 Hypertension (mild) | 140 to 159 | 90 to 99 |
| Stage 2 Hypertension (moderate) | 160 to 179 | 100 to 109 |
| Stage 3 Hypertension (severe) | 180 or greater | 110 or greater |
Higher fibre in Fruit Smoothie helps regulate blood-sugar levels
Take fruit smoothie or fruit instead of fruit juices for their higher fibre content.

Can we learn to be happy? – Introducing “The World Happiness Forum”
Can we learn to be happy?
This is the key question that has motivated the development of a series of groundbreaking conferences in Sydney, London, San Francisco and Singapore and the establishment of the World Happiness Forum.
The new science of positive psychology is at the forefront of research into how we can use our own minds to create happier lives.
Meanwhile, neuroscience is reporting on the connection between training the mind to be more positive and actual changes in the structure of the brain.
Both of these fields hold the tantalising prospect that happiness can be enhanced by mental training.
The World Happiness Forum is an international non-profit body established to promote dialogue on the tools and techniques that can be drawn from science, psychology, philosophy, economics and religion for the enhancement of human happiness.
It is motivated by a belief in the potential of the mind for growth and change and the need to look inward, as well as outward, for solutions to problems of dissatisfaction and suffering in daily life.

Cancer and mainly animal protein and dairy diet such as meat, fish, eggs and milk
”Looking at the dietary history of cancer patients, I usually find that they have had of a diet consisting mainly of animal protein and dairy such as meat, fish, eggs and milk”, said Dr Hiromi Shinya in page 50 of his book “The Enzyme Factor” (ISBN-10: 1571782095 and ISBN-13: 978-1571782090)
Short Biography of Dr Hiromi Shinya
Dr. Hiromi Shinya leads the gastroenterologist world with new medical findings and techniques. He is a professor of surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Head of the Endoscopic Center of Beth Israel Hospital in New York as well as an adviser for Maeda Hospital and Hanzomon Gastrointestinal Clinic in Japan. He is also Vice Chairman of the Japanese Medical Association in the USA.
Dr. Hiromi Shinya designed and developed a life-saving medical tool for the endoscopic treatment of polyps. Without requiring use of surgery, his revolutionary “Shinya Method” has become widely used in colonoscopies, the standard screening for the leading, non-tobacco related cancer killer in the US, colon cancer.

Physicians, nutrition and disease prevention
For most physicians, nutrition is not of significant interest. It is not an essential pillar of medical education.
Each generation of medical students learn about different sets of pills and procedures, but receive almost no training in disease prevention.
And in practice, doctors are not rewarded for educating patients about the merits of truly healthy lifestyles.

What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure in the blood due to the beating heart.
There are two types of blood pressure: systolic and diastolic.
The systolic blood pressure corresponds to the pressure of the blood when the heart has imparted the maximum pressure.
The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure when the heart is in the resting phase.A more detailed description can be found here.
