ashort origins and recent m o r e about reflexology


intreduction history popularity treatments f e a r you

Reflexology is a natural treatment dating back to ancient times. it is based on the idea that there are zones,
or areas, in the feet and hands that are related to other parts and systems of the body. For example, the
tips of the toes and fingers are related to the head and neck, and the ball of the foot is related to the heart
and chest. A reflexologist applies pressure to specific areas in a patients feet and hands to relieve symptoms
or pain in other related areas.

This type of treatment does not cure or diagnose specific health problems, and it does not involve any
medication. Yet many patients find that it successfully relieves symptoms of stress and disease. Reflexology
is effective for pain, headaches, and sleeping difficulties, among other ailments. Applying pressure
to the feet and hands relieves tension, improves blood circulation, and relaxes muscles. it promotes the
natural, healthy functions and well-being of the entire body. Reflexology is often used along with other
types of treatments, including conventional medicine.

This gentle therapy is safe and simple. A reflexalogist's only tools are his o r her hands. Pressure is strong,
but not uncomfortable. It?s not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatments.
At y p i c a l treatment session lasts one hour. Treatment is usually focused on the feet for most of
the session. A patient is asked to remove his or her shoes and socks, to sit in a comfortable reclining chair,
and then to relax as the reflexologist warms the patient's feet with his or her hands and applies pressure to
the appropriate parts of the foot. The last ten minutes of the session are dedicated to the hands.

After relieving specific problems, many patients continue a regular program of treatment to maintain
good health. Some reflexologists suggest building at least a five-minute reflexology session into every
day for long-term relief of stress and pain.

successful. That's why in order to have ?|should have
success in school, business, and your been an architect.?
personal life, you need a life plan. A plan
will heip you turn your dreams into seality.
To create your life plan, ask yourself two
?You should have
questions: Where am / going? How will |
madea life plan.?
get there?

Where am | going?
To answer this question, follow these
steps:
Create a life map?not an ordinary
map, but a map of where you have
been in your life and where those experiences can take you. Write down the important events in your life over the
past few years. You decide what is important I t s different for everyone For example, did you get a new job last year
that you love? Did you pass an exam? Did you learn something interesting? Did you get married? To see your life in
the Future, you should first look into your past.
Next, look carefully at your fist. Do you have regrets? Have your tastes changed over time? Planning for the future
means making decisions that make you happy and match your interests and talents. Use your past experiences to set
your goals for the future. Your life map can help you avoid making the same mustakes or having segrets.

Finally, set your goals to achieve over the next weeks, months, and years.

How am I going to get there?


Once you've decided on your life destination, you can start fotlowing your plan Here are some tips to help you
© Break your large goals into smaller ones. Almost any goal, no matter how difficult, will be easier to achieve if you
break 1t down into several smaller goals.

* Focus on your goals and don't get distracted by unimportant things.


* Don't give up You won't be successful at everything night away, so you should always try again.

* Make friends. It?s difficult to succeed i f you're alone, so support from good Friends 1s very important.
Once you have created your life plan, go forward with it, but also go back to it. Tastes change. Circumstances change.
Don't be afraid to tailor your life to changes in your life.

Amelia Earhart

Amelia M a r y Earhart was b o r n o n july 24, 1897, i n Atchison, Kansas. At three years old she w e n t
to live w i t h her g r a n d p a r e n t s w h o lived fifty mites away. Amelia was a t o m b o y , a n d loved s n o w
sledding a n d c l i m b i n g trees. She lived w i t h h e r g r a n d p a r e n t s until she was ten. At ten she m o v e d
back w i t h h e r p a r e n t s and h e r y o u n g e r sister, Muriel.

Amelia saw her first airptane at t h e 1 9 0 8 towa State Fair. At this fair, there was a s t u n t - f l y i n g
exhibition, a n d it fascinated Amelia. It w a s here, as she w a t c h e d these planes t w i r l i n g and
swooshing, that Amelia fell in love w i t h t h e idea of flying. Amelia actually h a d to w a i t thirteen
years t o take her first ride in a plane, a n d just six m o n t h s after that, she b o u g h t h e r first plane. It
was b r i g h t y e l l o w a n d she called it Canary.

Amelia was very c o m p e t i t i v e , a n d entered m a n y f l y i n g contests over the next several years.
She c o n t i n u a l l y broke the records of o t h e r aviators. To m e n t i o n just a f e w :
In j u n e of 1928, she b e c a m e the first w o m a n to fly across the Atlantic.
in M a y of 1932, she b e c a m e the second person t o fly solo across t h e A t l a n t i c
From A u g u s t 24 to 25, 1932, she f l e w a solo n o n s t o p f l i g h t f r o m t h e w e s t coast of the U n i t e d States
to the east coast, m a k i n g her the first w o m a n to d o that.
From Apr il 24 t o 25, 1935, she was t h e first person to fly solo f r o m Hawaii to California.

At t h e age of forty, in 1937, Amelia Earhart w a n t e d to be t h e first w o m a n to fly a r o u n d the w o r l d .


She a n d h e r n a v i g a t o r t o o k off f r o m Oakland, California, a n d f l e w to M i a m i , then t h r o u g h the
Caribbean t o Brazil and t h r o u g h Africa to India. A f t e r India, they f l e w t o Bangkok, Indonesia,
Australia, a n d then Papua N e w Guinea. From Papua N e w Guinea, t h e y f l e w t o w a r d H o w a r d Island,
2,200 miles away. T h e y never arrived, a n d despite extensive searches, they w e r e never f o u n d .

M a n y p e o p i e t h i n k that b e c o m i n g an i n v e n t o r is a s i m p l e process of three steps: having a b r i g h t


idea, researching the market f o r the idea, and t h e n selling that idea to a large c o m p a n y . It?s n o t that
simple, h o w e v e r , a n d can o f t e n b e a t i m e - c o n s u m i n g , d i f f i c u l t process. So let's take a l o o k at w h a t y o u
n e e d to d o to b e c o m e an inventor.

M a i n idea:

Every invention starts w i t h an idea. Brainstorm y o u r ideas w i t h colleagues, friends, a n d family. For
any idea t h e y like, d o research to check t h a t y o u r idea is original. D e c i d e if you w a n t to protect o r
patent y o u r idea f r o m being copied. T h i n k carefully a b o u t this, as you d o n o t w a n t to b e an i n v e n t o r
w h o says, ?He w o u l d n ? t have b e e n abie t o steal m y idea if | had p a t e n t e d it.?

M a i n idea:

So n o w y o u have the idea, what?s next? Once you settle on the idea for y o u r invention, s t u d y the
market you w a n t to sell it to. Get t o k n o w as m u c h as you can a b o u t the customers w h o will b u y y o u r
p r o d u c t . Make sure it will be p r o f i t a b l e .

M a i n idea:

Once you have identified t h e market f o r y o u r invention, w r i t e a business plan, possibly create a
s a m p l e of y o u r p r o d u c t , a n d t h e n go out and try t o sell it. This is a c h a l l e n g i n g stage because y o u
c o u l d m e e t w i t h a l o t of rejection. Keep g o i n g a n d don?t g i v e up. D o n o t lose sight of y o u r g o a l ? s e e i n g
y o u r p r o d u c t used and enjoyed by millions.

Brad yesterday, 9:20 A.M.


Look at the facts. Higher temperatures have already made the ice in Antarctica melt faster, causing higher sea
levels. By 2100, when the temperatures afe 7 degrees higher, many coastal areas will be flooded.

Climate has changed many times in the history of our planet. tis only natural. Let?s not lose sleep over it, alright?

Kris yesterday, 12:07 p.m.


{totally disagree! Climate change i natural, but what is happening today is not! Globat warming is the fault of
everyone who drives a car, flies on a plane, builds factories, and cuts trees. All of that creates more CO,.We must +

stop damaging our planet for future generations, We must urge our government leaders to control industries t h a t ,
harm the air.

Reactionary y e s t e r d a y , 1:13 P.M.


This whole debate is useless. People who say we need to change the way we live are radicals. The earth is always
warming and cooling, We just need to accept it and learn how to live in a naturally changing climate. We could, fe
for example, build homes farther away from the water to avoid higher sea levels.

Winston y e s t e r d a y , 2 : 1 7 p.m.
The tntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported after reviewing the scientific research that it
is more than 90% certain that humans are causing global warming. Gases from cars and factories are causing
|
temperatures to rise. We need to do something betore it?s too late!

Linda y e s t e r d a y , 2 : 3 3 P.M.
HA! 90% certain leaves 10% uncertain. The IPCC report has tots of errors and is exaggerated. It isn?t only the cars
and factories that are causing global warming. What about the changes in the sun?s brightness during its 11-year
solar cycle? It causes temperatures to increase. Erupting volcanoes can produce lots of CO, too.
