Why Women Stay In Abusive Relationships
by admin on Oct.31, 2009, under Relationships
Even up to date, the hunter gatherer theory is accepted universally and the species of men are viewed in alpha form over women. When awareness was brought about and brave people fought for the equality of the sexes, women have always been warned against how to use self defense or avoid abusive males. In other words women were given awareness that they too are just as important as the other sex and should in no means feel inferior. However, little notice is given for abusive women in relationships throughout the world.
It is a pity that women have been considered the weaker sex from time unknown. However, the claim is not entirely true in most cases. According to some ancient accounts men who suffered under abusive women in relationships have been hen pecked or have been looked down upon for not being man enough. Many later findings have not only found out but proven that abusive women in relationships do not only exist but can be as bad as abusive men. No amount of masculinity can put an end to such a predicament.
The simple definition for abusive women in relationships is women who make men go through emotional damage. Inflicting pain, worry, fear, deceit and even physical and sexual abuse on men are common features of what these women do. It is said that many abusive women in relationships can be called upon as having narcissistic characteristics such as; promiscuity, egocentrism and crave attention. The central theme for abusive women in relationships is that she needs to be in control of every situation whereas the others are expected to obey her; including her male counterpart.
Since the society puts a lot of demand on men, those who have experienced abusive women in relationships often feel ashamed, live in pain and will bear very low self esteem. It is said that an abused man would feel the same way as an abused women would and the only reason why men decide to cope up with abusive women in relationships is due to shame and guilt.
This should not be the case. If one is faced with an abusive woman it is essential that he should end the relationship promptly. A restraining order should be gotten in case the woman harms you physically or even kills you. If she is your wife and there are kids involved one must be extremely cautious as women stay in abusive relationshipsoften use children as a tool and may harm them and then accuse you of it in court. Immediate precautions must be taken and men should speak out if they are dealing with abusive women to ensure their safety and wellbeing.
Isaac Robert Toussie On The Caesarean Birth
by admin on Oct.31, 2009, under Kids and Teens
There are many different reasons why your doctor may tell you its best to have a caesarean birth. If your labor is not progressing normally, meaning, you are not dilating fully and it is taking too long ,your doctor may opt for a caesarean. If your baby’s heart rate is not within the normal range, this may mean the baby’s oxygen supply is low, or the umbilical cord might be wrapped around the baby’s neck. It is very important in this case to get the baby out as quickly and safely as possible.
Normally when you deliver, your baby comes out head first. It is possible for your baby to be in the wrong position. The baby’s feet can be down, or the baby can even be lying sideways. Sometimes the doctor may try to move the baby from the outside by pushing on your stomach, this is called external version. Otherwise, this situation calls for a caesarean birth. When you deliver vaginally your baby should not only be head down but the baby’s head should be facedown. If the baby’s head is sideways or the baby’s head, forehead or face is trying to come out first it may be too big to fit through your pelvis. In this case caesarean birth may be necessary.
Usually if your carrying multiple babies, whether twins, triplets or more it is very possible for one the babies to be in an abnormal position. It is much safer in this case to deliver through caesarean birth. Another reason you may need a caesarean birth is if you had previously had one. Some people consider v-back, which means trying to deliver vaginally after a previous caesarean. The risk with that is that you may rupture your uterus.
While some people think that housing, government, politics, entertainment, mortgages, banking, philosophy, and religion are among the most interesting subjects of intellectual discussion I believe that the care and education we have about our children and the birth and development of our children, may rank even higher. I, Isaac Robert Toussie, believe that children are our future, and if you pardon my expression, I believe they represent the greatest miracle G-d has ever given us.
Although there are risks with caesarean births, you must remember the risk is low and there is also risk with delivering vaginally. Usually caesareans are done to resolve other life threatening complications. I don’t recall the extent of President George Bush’s or President Obama’s campaign focus on children and issues concerning children but future presidents would surely be praised for focusing on children during their campaigns and later during their presidential tenures.

Recognizing Social Anxiety
by admin on Oct.31, 2009, under Self Help and Motivational
If a person is anxious or shy with people does it mean they have social anxiety? Everyone experiences nerves and anxiousness once in a while; going on a first date, introducing yourself at a new work place, or giving a work presentation. So what identifies social anxiety disorder?
People who suffer from social anxiety are extremely fearful of social experiences. Fear of humiliation and embarrassment are possible reasons. The fear is so great that they will normally try and do anything to get out of a social situation.
When they have no choice but to confront a social experience they feel overwhelmed and have thoughts of making a clown of themselves. They end up sabotaging themselves with negative self talk only increasing anxiety. They become a complete nervous wreck and unable to relax.
Physical anxiety symptoms such as sweating, shaking, trembling and a racing heart only worsen the experience. Sufferers will often replay the experience in their head over and over afterwards. These experiences can be devastating for a sufferer’s confidence and make them want to avoid further experiences.
Treating social anxiety successfully is possible with the various treatments available. Medication is not a cure for social anxiety disorder but it can help combined with therapy. The reason is because medication does not treat the root cause of anxiety. Benzodiazepines, antidepressants and beta blockers are commonly prescribed.
It’s important to be aware of the possible dangers and side effects of taking medication. Only consider taking medicine prescribed by a qualified doctor. Many people choose not to take medication because of the possible risks involved. Fortunately this isn’t the only way to tackle anxiety.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a therapy that has been used successfully to treat anxiety symptoms. Slow deep breathing and relaxation can help you release pent up stress and physical tension. Built up tension an stress can feel too much to bear. Make sure to give yourself time to take a breather. Practicing breathing exercises will help you release unwanted tension and look at problems differently.
Playing some relaxing music can help you get into a relaxed state. Focus on slow and deep breaths ensuring that you relax your muscles. Try rolling your shoulders back and forth to help ease away tension.
As well as therapy there are lots ways to tackle social anxiety including self-help guides. Take the first steps in beating this disorder and start enjoying a social life. Go to the panic symptoms help blog and find out how to overcome social anxiety.
Safety Info on a Baby Furniture Crib
by admin on Oct.31, 2009, under Family
Parents, sitters and anyone else caring for a baby have to look after the child by following some common sense crib safety rules.
Most importantly of all, your baby should always be put down for a nap on their back. An infant can easily choke when lying on their stomach. Make sure that the sheet in the crib is the right size for the mattress. A sheet which is too large or too small can come undone and presents a risk of suffocation.
While it may be fun and decorative to place all kinds of pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, comforters, and bumper pads on the inside of the crib, it is not advisable to place it all in there when the infant is placed inside. If you are going to have these things inside the crib throughout the day that is fine, but you have to ensure that it is all removed when you lay the child down to rest.
You should check the slats on the nursery furniture crib to ensure that the slats are no farther apart then 2 3/8 to allow your baby not to get caught in between the slats. If your baby sleeps in a wooden crib, then you’ll need to ensure that there are no splinters and that the crib is well-constructed with all of its parts securely fitted together. Any paint should be lead free and in good condition with no peeling or cracking.
And no matter how cute it looks, avoid placing decorative cut outs on the end panels on the inside of the crib. These fall off and your baby could choke on them. It is also extremely important to ensure that the mattress is the same size as the crib so that the baby’s limbs do not end up trapped in the crib. The side of the crib that lowers should be hand operated and it should always be able to be locked into place without a fear of it unintentionally snapping apart which very well could lead to disastrous consequences.
Do You Have A Dark Side?
by admin on Oct.31, 2009, under Self Help and Motivational
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspect of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for self-knowledge, and it therefore as a rule meet with considerable resistance. These shadows are repressed elements of the personality which we choose not to be identified with.
- Carl Jung
Shadows lurk in the deep recesses of the psyche. It is buried in the heart, in the mind; it is part of us. It follows us, it frightens us, and they come to us in different ways, but always, fits our lifestyle,our beliefs or therof. The shadow is not a mere concept or a matter of perception. It is very real! It is only with this realization that we can begin our spiritual awakening.
Just as there is light, there is also darkness. Is it possible to deny the shadow element? It is usually the worst side of the person. The courageous person may have a cowardly shadow. The kind,gentle and caring person may have a cruel side hiding behind all that softness. Even among the most benevolent, the most
respected personalities and leaders in every field of endeavor, part of their shadow element peeks through their eloquence and their elegance.
Do they really know themselves, or having denied their shadow element, they find their views, their words and their actions in conflict. This is not intentional - the internal shadow conflicts they fail to deal with come to surface at the worst moment.
Is it possible to ignore or avoid the shadow? Some call it demons that stick around every dark corner, every perilous turn, in every struggle and conflict. When we are at the lowest point in our lives, shadows haunt us.
It is that part of ourselves that we leave in the closet as we face our public and put our best foot forward. Hide them, deny them, suppress them, would they just vanish?
These actions may end up attracting these shadows into our lives in other ways.
Do shadows impact on our lives? Do they mean anything? Shadows come in many forms. They can come as temptations, obsessions, addictions, co-dependency and other forms of indulgence. Shadows appear in the darkness cloaked in fear; shake us at our core.
Shadows also show as projections. It can be a dislike of certain traits in people, unjustified and unexplainable. We don’t like what we see perhaps it mirrors part of us that we choose to ignore or may not even be aware of.
Are you comfortable with your friends? If not, ask yourself, why do you hang out with them? Do you judge them harshly? If so, why do you share your precious time with them?
Do you tend to make a compromise that you can not meet? What about the times you get angry at the slightest provocation at times by the same person.
There are times we look for our shadows in the face of other people. We even attract them into our lives. Buried deep, these shadows may drive us to places we dare not go.
Pundits would say it is not wise to deny the shadow element. They believe the only way is to confront it, deal with it and work through the conflicts it creates.
Each one has their personal demons to deal with and to face, otherwise, it follows us in less conscious ways. There are lessons from the shadow element. To become aware of it, we need to go deeper into ourselves, be all that we can be, assuredly.
We can take the good. Work with the bad, see the light, face the darkness without fear. Go deep within; let the fears and insecurities buried deep within surface. Confront the anger seething under the skin.
We are not perfect. No matter how many dark clouds hover above us, no matter how long the dark night is, light will surely come. These dark nights offer a chance to enrich and nourish our spirit, our soul and our lives. It helps us to align ourselves with our highest purpose.
By striving for greater balance, endurance and perspective, we generate more personal power and strength. Thus begins our new spirituality.

Rules For Creating Your Own Calendar
by admin on Oct.31, 2009, under Business and Management
When you print calendars they should usually last a year right?Unfortunately though, not all calendars make it throughout the year.This is usually caused by low quality calendar printing, and bad printing options. Below, I’ll discuss a few ideas and tips on making sure your calendar makes it through the whole year.
1.A Hard-back is more durable
The first thing that you can do to make your color calendars more durable is to give it a hard back. Ideally, you’ll use a thick sheet of card on the back of your calendar to make it more rigid.This protects the calendar from the surface of the wall or desk especially if there happens to be moisture and other kinds of substances that are present in them. You can usually get a longer life out of a calendar by using a hard back.This is particularly useful for table calendars which are usually moved around in your desk as you go about your office work.
2. Use thick paper
It’s also important to consider the paper you’re using inside the calendar. The paper should be strong enough to resist the pressures of a whole year’s use. A flimsy, light-weight paper will easily deteriorate and may not make it past a few months’ use. Believe me, you won’t be sorry for making the investment! A good quality paper is much more likely to last.
3. Use a resistant coating–
Resistant paper stock is quite common, and is another idea if you want to prolong the life of the calendar. Reistant stock usually contains a UV-cotaing and waterproof coating.These coating techniques offer some degree of resistance to liquids while still protecting the paper from harsh penetrating light that can damage the designs of the calendar.Of course, these also provide a way of hardening the paper material of a calendar more making it tougher as well to face various environmental effects. Using Customized Calendars with resistance-coated paper can really pay off.
4.How about a plastic calendar? –
Lastly, if you have a big budget for calendar printing then you may want to invest in printing plastic calendars. Plastic made calendars represent the strongest choice for your company.Plastic materials are resistant to many forms of environmental effects like moisture, dirt, dust, heat and cold. Plastic calendars are also very difficult to tear, which means they stand a much greater chance of resisting the pressure that most office calendars face. A plastic calendar will almost certainly last a lot longer than the one year it’s intended forSo if you have a good marketing message that you want to last for more than a year, you may want to go for plastic calendars.

Pet Rabbit Care A Helping Hand For Picking A Rabbit
by admin on Oct.31, 2009, under Pets
Choosing the right rabbit for you and your family can be a very exciting process. There are currently over 40 recognized breeds of rabbits. There are also many different coloured rabbits, so it is interesting to see which ones appeal to your family the most. In addition to these facts, the size of the rabbit in general can vary greatly and you may find that they can be weigh over 10 pounds, in which case you will need to make sure you know what you’re doing with rabbits and have a good understanding of general rabbit care.
For most people choosing the gender of their rabbit, they may not know which one to choose as they’re not entirely sure of their different characteristics. This is compounded by the individual temperament of the rabbit. For example, with a female rabbit, which is called a doe, she can become very territorial if she isn’t spayed when young. It is fair to say that some female rabbits will have a tendency to nip at their owners if they get too close or invade their private space. However, if a familiar face does the feeding and suchlike, they should calm down considerably. Some does can be non-aggressive, and yet others can become territorial towards everybody, but that is very rare. For those that are looking for a friendly female bunny, the best thing to do is to get her spayed at an early age. Starting off on the right foot like this is a good way to make sure your rabbit care approach heads in the right direction.
Something else worth thinking about when working out your rabbit care plans is the grooming side of things. If you have a luxuriously soft angora rabbit, grooming will become part of your everyday agenda. Naturally, all rabbits need to be groomed, but it is the wool breeds that will require a good brush on a regular basis.
I would not recommend buying a rabbit without first seeing it, nor would I recommend purchasing a rabbit from a pet store. Once you know which breed of rabbit you would like to buy, do an online search for a breeder in your local area. Visit with that breeder. Have a look around the rabbit area and note down what the conditions are like. During your visit, ask nicely if you are able to just pick a rabbit up for a bit and hold it in your arms. This is the point where you can check the rabbit’s reaction to seeing their hutch door being opened. If they are happy rabbits and like the attention, they will come to the door and make cute little noises to get you to stroke them. Other rabbits will immediately go to the back of the cage. Look out for these signs as they could indicate that the rabbit won’t make a good pet.
So, taking all aspects of rabbit care into consideration is important, but so too is the enjoyment you get from searching for a rabbit. Once you find your new family pet, the future should be very rewarding for you.
How Direct Marekting Could Improve Your Sales
by admin on Oct.31, 2009, under Business and Management
You often hear advertising people talking about ‘direct marketing’, but what exactly is it? I’m going to start this article by explaining more about direct marketing, what it is and then eventually explain the best ways you can use it.
Direct marketing in the broadest sense is any sort of marketing that involves a single ‘call-to-action’, that is to say some form of advertising or marketing material that encourages the customer to do one thing which will put them one step close to buying your product. It’s called specifically direct marketing, because once the call to action is fulfilled, a marketer can speak directly to his customer.Some examples of direct marketing include, direct mail, email, newspaper, radio, television, and of course the internet.
Overall Strategy
Direct Marketing should, and indeed can, play a big part in reducing a firm’s cost in acquiring new customers. The general strategy should be to monitor the response rate - i.e. number of people responding - and to try and reduce the advertising spend that it takes to acquire the customers.Increasing customer response to your advertising will accomplish two very important things. One, increase the number of sales leads generated by advertising, and two, further establish business name recognition.
How To Target Audiences
Before you even begin to design your marketing campaign, it’s critical that you decide who the audience will be for your product.Developing a marketing campaign that speaks directly to your potential customer’s wants and needs will mean the difference between creating quality sales leads for your business and utter frustration at a lack of customer responsiveness.
Things to think about when targeting an audience:
* Who..? Who do you want to see your advertisement, and who do you think would benefit from your product?
* Why..? Do you just want people to review a few helpful products..or do you want them to retain your services?
* What…? What is the main benefit you’r providing to your customers?
* When…? Are you looking for a more immediate response from your reader…or are you providing food for thought and building your relationship?
* How…? What method are you going to use to distribute your marketing material? Printing leaflets, online, telephone? What’s your strategy?
Don’t forget your existing customers
I’ve been discussing some elementary ideas about direct marketing and its use in promoting your business and brand. It’s important not to overlook onen of the most underrated resources you already have: existing customers! Quite often, an existing customer will alread have placed their trust in you and is therefore much more open to suggestions.
A way to keep them sweet might be to send a customized calendar to the customers on your databse this year. Calendars have a huge advantage as marketing material - they’re actually useful, and can allow you to keep your brand and message in the customer’s mind for a whole year!A properly designed calendar can really help your business.
