Sinus and Headache


Sinuses


Sinuses are hollow spaces in the bones of the head above the eyes (frontal) and below (maxillary). They are lined with mucous membranes which produce a starchy liquid keeping their surfaces moist. The sinuses are linked to the nose and throat passage ways by narrow tubes called ducts. Infections pass along these ducts causing sinusitis.

Sinusitis


Some infections penetrate the sinuses and cause inflammation with swollen tissues and increased mucus secretion. This causes severe burning pain in the forehead, under the eyes and behind the nose, extending to teeth on occasions.

Sinus Headache


Headaches can accompany sinusitis, a condition in which the membranes lining the sinuses become swollen and inflamed. But many people who assume they have sinus headaches actually have migraines or tension headaches.

Causes of Sinus Headache


Sinus headaches are caused by sinus congestion and inflammation (called sinusitis). Sinusitis, in turn, is caused by either a respiratory infection (such as a cold) or allergies (like hay fever, also called allergic rhinitis). The sinuses are air-filled spaces lined with mucous membranes surrounding the forehead, cheeks and eyes. Healthy sinuses allow mucus to drain and air to circulate throughout the nasal passages. When sinuses become inflamed, these areas get blocked and mucus cannot drain. This lack of proper sinus drainage can lead to infection.


Sinus headaches can also result from changes in atmospheric pressure (for example, from swimming or climbing to high altitudes)

Treatment For A Sinus Headache


Sinus headaches are associated with a swelling of the membranes lining the sinuses (spaces adjacent to the nasal passages). Pain occurs in the affected region – the result of air, pus, and mucus being trapped within the obstructed sinuses. The discomfort often occurs under the eye and in the upper teeth (disguised as a headache or toothache). Sinus headaches tend to worsen as you bend forward or lie down. The key to relieving the symptoms is to reduce sinus swelling and inflammation and facilitate mucous drainage from the sinuses.

YourHeadacheSoultions.co.uk is one voice of the Watson Headache Institute.


The Watson Headache Institute was established to increase the awareness of cervicogenic (neck) disorders in headache and migraine by imparting my (and that of others) clinical experience and knowledge; to present and discuss past and present relevant research and to undertake and support rigorous clinical and scientific research in this specialty.


Appropriate and up-to-date knowledge is self-empowering; I believe that every headache sufferer has the right to know their headache diagnosis as precisely as possible (and what it means), to know the nature of their headache disorder, its outcome and possible types of treatment.


What has yet to gain acceptance is my (and that of others) belief, supported by my unparalleled clinical experience and a significant body of international research, that it is incorrect to consider headache and migraine types as totally different entities and that cervicogenic (neck) disorders can be instrumental in the headache and migraine process.


Although Physiotherapy, Chiropractic and Osteopathy are different disciplines, we are supporters of the idea that headache and migraine sufferers, no matter what their diagnoses, can be helped to live their lives more effectively through appropriate neck treatment. However, because treatment of the neck does not fit the medical model of headache and migraine, the model has demonstrated little interest in exploring this as an option. It is essential that all factors, which have the potential to sensitise the brainstem, be investigated equally.  Currently this is not the situation – the neck is largely disregarded.


So, whilst YourHeadacheSolutions.com is also about Education, it is also a directory for headache and migraine sufferers to source practitioners who have a particular interest in and are skilled in examination of the neck as a source of your headache or migraine – to create a more comprehensive approach and provide an alternative, medication-free treatment.


ver the past 15 years I have developed a series of techniques, which, by way of temporary reproduction of headache and easing of the headache as a technique is sustained, confirm that a neck disorder is the cause of or a significant factor in the mechanism of the headache or migraine – this a key diagnostic criterion for cervicogenic or neck involvement in headache according to the International Headache Society – importantly for the disorder to be related to the headache or migraine process the headache has to ease as the technique is maintained.

How Do I Close my AOL Account?


How do I close my AOL account? This is the most common question asked by people who just for fun sign up for an AOL account but when it comes to shutting it down, it becomes difficult.

So here is the article for such readers. First, closing an AOL account is not so easy. The people who have experienced doing so have faced troubles for obvious reasons that it is not so easy. For example, you can say that there is no close my AOL account service on the Help menu. This is because too many people could use it then.

Many people try to close their AOL account by logging into their account and then start searching for quit or cancel type options. But it displays that the service is not yet available. Other people also try using AOL help and start chatting but all this is done uselessly since the features are not so in working condition. Thus, cancelling an AOL account becomes a real pain in the butt sometimes.

Now you can relax because this article will help you in closing your account in simple steps. First of all gather all the relevant information regarding your billing address and personal info on your account. Dial AOL customer service on 800-827-6364. After a prompt, say cancellation clearly. After that you will be transferred to customer executive. After reaching him or her you can ask the representative to cancel out your AOL account. He/she will ask for relevant information which you have already gathered. The representative will try to convince to sustain you as an AOL user but if you have already made up your mind. Then you should not get convinced.

After giving sufficient information about your account and regarding closing down of it you can note down the name of the representative and also the date and time at which you communicated with him/her. This is to keep the info for reference purposes. Another important consideration while doing so is to verify that you are not charged i.e. your bank account or credit card is not debited for AOL closing service.

Similar application can also be filed through e-mailing where you will be required to send letter to their respective address. You can include in the letter all the relevant information so that they dont cancel your request. After some days you can verify that your AOL account has been cancelled down. Again ensure that no charge had been made from your account.

Why Land Tours Are Recommended in Iran 11-04-2011 11:24

Why Land Tours Are Recommended in Iran


When you decide to travel to Iran, you will come across several tour packages offered by tour operators. Many of them have got land tours in Iran. There are reasons why this type of tour is preferred by the majority of tourists who visit this country. I will explain why such preference exists.


You Travel to Iran to See Countryside


People make a journey for various reasons including relaxation and taking the pleasure of looking at beautiful landscapes. We are not all living at typical type of terrain. Dutch people appreciate high mountains in Iran, Brits admire the deserts of Iran, Nordic tourists love the strong sunshine here and Arabs love the semi-Mediterranean climate at the Caspian Sea area.


By the way, I have just mentioned a wide variety of climates and natural attractions. It is true that you can find all such varieties in the countryside of Iran. So, make sure you include some of it to perfect your journey and enjoy the scenery as well as other sights and highlights offered to you when you travel to Iran.


See Rural Life during Land Tours in Iran


Culture-oriented tourists, who are the dominant kind of visitors to Iran, are enthusiastic about exploring some rural life in Iran as well as other attractions seen around villages like animal husbandry, farming fields, rural roads, vernacular architecture, lifestyle in remote areas, etc.


In culture tours, the point is not to stay in top hotels, visit museums and sights inside the big cities and fly between all cities. This gives you an artificial incomplete image of Iran that will always need a missing link to where the origins are. When you travel to Iran, you visit a country with thousands of years of history and numerous historical traditions rooted in successive ages handed over to next generation. So, land tours in Iran are the solution to experience such wealth of traditions for yourselves.


Explore Historic Monuments Outside Cities


People living in ancient times or previous centuries were not living only inside the cosmopolitan cities of today. They were everywhere. They had built roads and bridges, caravansaries, fortresses, watch towers, guard posts, etc. Even some abandoned cities of antiquities are now on your ways when you travel from town to town.


Land tours in Iran provide such opportunities for travelers to see such historic monuments in their natural locations and topographical situations. It will not be possible to experience all such rich attractions without driving across the country.


Visit Nomads in Your Travel to Iran


Migrating people are still maintaining their history-old lifestyle in Iran. When you drive between towns in this country, you happen to see the tents and animals of nomads living in certain areas. If you are in the right season, when nomads are migrating from high mountainous spots to low lands and plains in search for grazing fields for their animals, you will see them close to the roads.


It will be quite interesting to stop by and pay a visit to these people. You learn about the shape of their tents and the materials they use for making them, you sit on their hand-made rugs, talk to them in any kind of language possible (if you do not use a tourist guide), you notice how closely their lives are dependent on their animals, etc.


It is Just Out-of-Towns Attractions


What I have just explained in this article covers the tourist attractions outside cities and towns in Iran. As you travel to Iran, you see a lot more. Cities have got their own charming attractions as well. Land tours are important as they take you to the origins, but the combination of inside and outside towns will make your trip a memorable one.

The Andaman Development Corporation Limited or the APDC in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have come places since their inception in 1955. APDC has been able to successfully tap the agricultural resources in the islands. Though the islands are better known for its beaches and its scenic beauty, agriculture has played a vital role in putting the islands in the road of development. The Andaman Noni has been the most successful find for APDC in the islands. A small evergreen tree discovered by the Polynesians in the Pacific, the andaman noni is considered to be a vital medicinal plant found in islands of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. More than 2,000 years old, this particular noni plant has been used in a wide range of medicinal applications to enhance the immune system, deliver superior antioxidants and increase energy and stamina in the human body. Noni fruits are often considered for diseases with rigid complications. The volcanic soil and the climatic condition of the islands make it suitable for the growth of the noni here. More than 10,000 noni plants are grown here organically. ProXeronine, Xeronine, Anthraquonine, Vitamin C and other active compounds found in the fruit are responsible for health benefits.


APDC performs the organic cultivation of the noni fresh fruit using best scientific practices to prepare various products of Noni.

Ripe noni fruits are naturally dried to get concentrated noni dried fruits after the loss of moisture.


Made from the whole noni fruit, this sun dried organic noni dry powder is all natural and contains no added flavors. The medicinal quality remains identical to the original noni. The noni dry fruits are powdered so that it can be easily stored and consumed as required. Due to the unavailability of the andaman noni in most parts of the sub-continent and also in many parts of the world, noni dried powder is a good source of enjoying all the benefits found in a noni fresh fruit.Noni Extract this active ingredient is extracted from the noni fruits in a concentrated form that can be used to make noni juice, noni capsules and other noni products. This noni extract is also used for various herbal preparations. Vested with similar medicinal qualities as in the andaman noni, the noni extract is considered to be a vital component in pain management. Noni extract can also be used as a tonic for muscle pain or spasms.


Noni Capsules are Vegetable and Gelatine capsules filled with noni dry powder or noni extract. A noni dry powder consists of 400 mg of noni dried powder and 100 mg of Noni alkaloid extract. Noni capsules helps in developing an alkaloid in human body called Xeronine. This alkaloid helps in normalization and repair of cells in a human body. Boosting the immune system, delivering superior anti-oxidants, increasing energy, proper digestion support and nutrient absorption are a few other benefits one can derive on consuming a noni capsule.

Vlora: What to See in Albania’s Second Largest Port City 11-04-2011 09:31


Оригинал сообщения

Vlora: What to See in Albanias Second Largest Port City


Vlora is a coastal city on Albanias Adriatic Coast. It is reputed to be one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean region and in recent years has become an important tourist center.


With nice sandy beaches, the summer time is an ideal time to visit Vlora. You can swim in the sea beginning in May and the water is still warm enough in October to enjoy a pleasant outing at the beach.


Besides the beach, Vlora has a rich cultural history dating back to the 6th Century B.C. A stone wall was built around the city in the 4th Century B.C. and it was the main port of Illyria (the ancient name for Albania). During that era Vlora was well known for its olives, wine and for the production of salt.


In the medieval period Vlora was under the administration of several different rulers. The Normans conquered the region in 1081, and it later came on rule of Venice before being handed over to Germans. In 1272 it became part of the kingdom of Arbria and in the 1400s an Albanian feudal family dominated the city. Finally, in 1417 Vlora was the first port to fall to the Ottoman Turks. The Ottomans built mosques and fortresses and other monuments during their rule of 500 years.


In the modern era, Albania obtained its independence in 1912 and Vlora was the place where that independence was declared. Fittingly, there is a museum dedicated to the Independence movement in Vlora and it should be near the top of your list if you are visiting Vlora for cultural purposes.


Another important place to visit in Vlora is the Mosque of Muradie. It was built in 1542 and was designed by the architect Sinani. It was commissioned by Sultan Sulejman who was in Vlora and preparing a naval attack on Italy.


The castle of Kanina is another must-see place for any cultural tour of Vlora. This castle dominated the entire medieval period of Vlora and is located in the present day Kanina village near the city. If you like old castles, then you can go on to visit the castles of Porto-Palermo, Himara and Ilias which all lie in the area around Vlora.


There are a number of religious places that are points of interest for tourists and these include the Monastery of Saint Mary in Zvernec Village, the Churh of Saint Mitri in the village of Qepara, the church of Mesodhia in the village of Vuno and the Church of Saint Sotiri in the village of Vuno.


In addition to the previously mentioned Museum of Independence, the city also has a Museum of Ethnography and a Museum of History.


In case you are wondering about accommodations and other facilities, the natural beauty and cultural heritage of this city have made it a magnet for tourists; thus, the tourism infrastructure has developed rapidly in the past few years. So you should be able to find what you need to make your stay comfortable.


Whether you want to enjoy the pleasures of a sandy beach on the sunny Adriatic sea or take a first hand look at cultural artifacts stretching back to the sixth century BC, Vlora is the place for you.

7 Leading Causes Of Stress 11-04-2011 09:23


Оригинал сообщения

7 Leading Causes Of Stress


In 1967, Thomas H. Holmes and Richard H. Rahe, from the University of Washington, did a study on the connection between significant life events and illness. As part of that study, they compiled a chart of the major causes of stress. That chart, which contained 43 causes of stress in 1967, was updated to 55 causes in 2006. Apparently, society is finding more causes to feel stressed.


If you knew the leading causes of stress in your life, would you take action to eradicate them? Can you eradicate stress  or is it an inoperable condition that will be with you all of your life, possibly causing your eventual death?


Which Is Your Leading Cause of Stress?


1. Finances


Most studies agree that finances are a leading cause of stress. In an online poll conducted in 2005 by LifeCare, Inc., 23 percent of respondents named finances as the leading cause of stress in their lives. Financial stress has led the list in many modern polls.


Some who name finances as the leading cause of stress cite major purchases they have to make, such as a home or car. Others are stressed by a loss of income, or mounting credit card debt. For some, financial stress will eventuate in bankruptcy. While college students stress over paying for an education, Baby Boomers and older senior citizens find that retirement income can be a major cause of stress.


2. Work


Closely tied to finances as a cause of stress is work. Our jobs or careers seem to cause constant stress. In the LifeCare poll, 21 percent of those responding listed this as the leading cause of stress in life.


How is the workplace a cause of stress? We worry about getting and keeping adequate employment. We worry about new types of work or new responsibilities. We struggle to climb a career ladder, overwhelmed by the demands. Work conditions may change, or we may have interpersonal trouble at work. Students, especially teenagers and college age students, cite school work as a cause of stress. Sometimes, work stress is brought on by others. Sometimes, we bring it on ourselves.


3. Family


Family, wonderful though each member may be, is also a leading cause of stress. Arguments erupt with a spouse or other family member. Parents divorce. Children marry. The ebb and flow of family life is filled with stress. A child moves out  an aging parent moves in.


Family health is also a leading cause of stress. A sick family member, a serious injury, pregnancy, miscarriage, or abortion all cause stress. Family changes of other kinds bring stress, too. Adoption, relocation, and job changes for just one family member can cause stress for all.


4. Personal Concerns


Personal concerns that are only indirectly created by others are another top cause of stress. Lack of control tops the list of personal concerns. Every human has a deep-seated desire for control over his or her own life. When control is weak or missing in a given area, we experience stress. To many people, a lack of control over their own time is a leading cause of stress. We want to determine when we do tasks around the home, or at work. Holding a job, participating in the childrens carpool to school, driving family to soccer practices, shopping, and scout meetings while trying to keep the household running can create major stress. You would like to control your time, rather than let others demands control it, but that is not always possible.


We may be involved in legal proceedings that cause stress. We may be wrestling with a bad habit. We may be going through changes. Personal change of any kind can be a cause of stress.


5. Personal Health and Safety


Most people find that personal health is a leading cause of stress. For some, the stress is linked to obesity, and a desire to lose weight. For others, the stress is a personal bas habit that affects health and must be changed. For example, smoking, abuse of alcohol or other drugs. Illness or injury, whether less or more serious, can be a leading cause of stress for many people. Incontinence can be an ongoing concern. Personal health is more or less stressful according to the degree of seriousness and our personal outlook on health.


Personal safety is also a leading cause of stress. Women, more than men, tend to stress about their own and others safety. Adults tend to stress more than young people, who may act invincible. Crime is a factor, as is


6. Personal Relationships


Whether it is a friendship, dating, separation, marriage, divorce, or re-marriage, a relationship can be a leading cause of stress for many. We all want love, and that is potentially available in

North Korea’s Role in Nuclear Proliferation 09-04-2011 14:57


Оригинал сообщения

Amid all the controversy surrounding North Korea’s nuclear programme the one clear fact to emerge is that the Western media comprehend little or nothing of the country. Yet the vulnerability of South Korea and the continuing belligerent attitude of the North make it essential to halt Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons programme.  It is not only North East Asia which is threatened but the future of nuclear non-proliferation globally.


North Korea is routinely portrayed as a pariah, hermitic state with a penchant for international piracy, acting with no regard for other countries’ legitimate security concerns.  Yet frequently such assumptions rest on nothing more than a bed-rock of theatre and unexamined assumptions.  Too often the North’s decision-making is seen as a record of political burlesque, the proper complement to the paranoia of its dictator. This, in turn, has stimulated much uninformed speculation concerning North Korea’s goals. Perhaps, it has been suggested, the impoverished communist state is using its nuclear programme as a bargaining counter to secure aid or to ease sanctions.  Alternatively, it is suggested, the nuclear programme is to be seen as part of some sort of obscure power struggle in Pyongyang.



Consistent Policies



Kim Il-Sung himself, however, is known to have worked for Soviet intelligence for many years previously.


It was the Soviet Union which created and trained the North Korean Army.  In 1990 during the period of glasnost, Moscow confirmed that it was Stalin who had personally approved the plan to attack the South, an invasion which began on the night of 24/25 June 1950.  The Korean War, launched with Moscow’s support and covert participation, ended in 1953 leaving the country permanently partitioned.  Ever since then there has been an almost constant propaganda war replete with border incidents and punctuated by occasional acts of war.  Most spectacularly, in 1983, for example, North Korean agents in Burma murdered 17 members of a visiting South Korean delegation, including four Cabinet ministers.  The directives were thought to have come directly from Kim Jong-Il, currently holder of supreme power today.


North Korea’s status as an independent maverick state has largely been built up around its claim to have astutely manipulated China and the Soviet Union in the Sino-Soviet dispute to its own benefit.  For example, during the 1960s there is supposed to have been a worsening in relations between Pyongyang and Moscow with the North leaning towards China in the Sino-Soviet dispute.  North Korea allegedly became more receptive to Soviet overtures in the late 1960s because of the pressing need to modernise its arsenal.  The Soviet Union was thus able to justify its extensive modernisation of the North Korean armed forces on the grounds of fending off a challenge for influence from China.


Yet for all its burgeoning “rogue” status North Korea is known to have conveniently helped the Soviet Union in many of Moscow’s more controversial operations against the West.  North Korea provided arms and training to anti-Western terrorist groups such as the Japanese Red Army without tarnishing Moscow’s image.  It has also played an important role in sponsoring terrorism worldwide and in destabilising Western interests.  The principal benefactor has almost invariably been the Soviet Union.  North Korean scud missiles too found their way to then implacably anti-Western states such as Iran, Syria and Libya, almost certainly with Moscow’s approval while saving Moscow from the resulting international opprobrium. Thus in the past, North Korea’s behaviour has often effectively complemented that of the Soviet Union, Pyongyang’s rogue status enabling Moscow to wash its hands of highly dubious actions.  The Sino-Soviet split has provided a convincing screen for the North’s claim to independence of action, Pyongyang claiming to have skilfully played one great power off against another.


It is worth recalling at this point that North Korea’s nuclear scientists learned their trade in both Chinese and Russian laboratories. It is not a home grown programme. To the contrary, a review of Pyongyang’s nuclear programme illuminates close relationships between North Korea, China, the former Soviet Union and the successor Russian state.


The Sino/Soviet divide


North Korea’s apparent brilliance in consistently playing China off against Russia over the last half century may not be quite what it seems.  The Soviet defector, Anatoly Golitsyn, in his remarkable work New Lies for Old (London 1984), has presented striking inside evidence that Sino-Soviet friction was a phenomenon of 1950-1957 which was largely successfully resolved by 1957.  Later ‘evidence’ of a

It basically means unchanged character of directions of its functioning. They use restructuring from large plan in the economical texts mostly with debts, including foreign ones, payments and taxation (trade) balance, corporation sector of the economy and of separate enterprises, of banking system entirely and separate banks (other credit organizations).


They define restructuring in legislation in the following way: restructuring of credit organization is a complex of activities directed towards eradication of financial fluctuations of the organization and recovering its pay abilities or towards realization of liquidity of this organization. This definition doesnt make needed opinion about the occasion to be discussed, as, in the first place, here they mean only separate credit organizations and not banking system itself, and, second, it has very technical character and mixes the essence and contest of the process of restructuring with the activities, which may (or must) be realized in this process.


Thus, there is not common, widely excepted definition of restructuring, though majority agrees with the idea, that we must consider restructuring to be readjustment of (cure) of banking system and its taking out of the crisis phase, also its returning to the conditions of good labor abilities. They sometimes use termini of stabilization of banking system, but we consider it to be comfortable. The fact is, that achieving stability may be provided in various ways, including the one of liquidating whole system. There is another point of view, that they consider restructuring to be the process for overcoming difficulties, appeared during the crisis. This point of view is not quite fluent.


Thinking of the essence of the affair and not its definition, hen we must consider in reconstruction of banking system as a process  totality of decisions and actions. Its basic elements are:


eradication and minimization of negative influence of bad macro-economic, political and other common factors upon situation and perspectives of functioning of banking system; improving systemic organization (structure, kinds, types) of totality of credit organizations, creation of conditions for effective and civil competition among them; improving legislative base for mutual-advantage collaboration and organization-economic mechanisms among credit organizations and their clients; increasing quality of managing entire banking system and its separate elements; financial cure of separate banks and other credit organizations; effective (with minimal social experiences) liquidation of vital credit organizations.


Foreseeing these elements, we can state following definition: restructuring banking system in managed process of its global readjustment (improvement), supported by changing in industrial, cash, taxation, budgetary and information policy, also in the policy of the banks themselves, and which is directed towards formation of banking system adequate to effective, trustful and dynamically developed modern requests.


According to this definition, restructuring effective, stabile and healthy banking system in not needed (though, it is possible to improve or reform it). Thus, restructuring is a cure (curing something that is not healthy), i.e. restructuring may be understood and must be understood to be the process, with the help of which banking system of concrete country transit to the new level of development. It is also evident, that restructuring is curing of such systems, which are in crises and can not get out of it without help. Finally, from the point of restructuring (privately displaying necessity of financial curing) we must discuss absolutely every bank. In this case, restructuring, as a process of readjustment, seems to have its own instrumentation, which will not be bounded only with the instruments of ordinal procedure banking management?


According to the mentioned above, we can make main goal of restructuring process of banking system  its recovery and taking its movement to the relatively new trajectory, at which it already gains earlier lost potential of progressive development and becomes adequate to the real sector of the economy again.


In relation with this, we must pay attention to the following principle requests towards the context of the process to be discussed: activities provided in relation to the restructuring will be profitable only in case, if we foresee not only reasons of banking crisis, but also define those fundamental; defects of economical relations, which make banking system viable at the modern stage;

Diet and cystic acne relationship 09-04-2011 14:47


Оригинал сообщения

I have heard of many people who claim to have solved their cystic acne problems through diet, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for everyone. There is some ambiguity on what a good diet consists of. For example, some diets are not too keen on grain and carbohydrate based foods while most nutritionists recommend a grain based diet. Also there are lots of books on diet and foods, and there are some differences in opinion.


Interestingly, many studies had been performed on the diet and cystic acne relationship, and none was found. Also, a sickness or disease caused by malnutrition or poor diet tends to linger on until the poor diet is rectified. For example, if you had a low iron intake, you would continue to feel tired and run down until your iron intake increased. Cystic acne (in most cases) disappears in the mid-twenties even though sufferers have made no change in their diet. Now, if cystic acne is a disease caused by poor diet, why should it suddenly disappear?


One thing I would object strongly to, is the idea that cystic acne is a symptom of western diet.  In fact, those of us who have travelled may have noticed that traditional Asian and African diets are no better for their culture than western diets, at least in terms of the incidence of cystic acne amongst their people. There may well be strong evidence to suggest that western diets are not actually very good for us  but there really is no evidence that it can either cause or worsen cystic acne.


I am not seeking to totally discredit the claim that diet has a part to play in cystic acne but still there are lots of other factors that can trigger this skin condition like hormones, genetics, vitamin deficiency, stress and much more.

The History of the Eurodollar Market in the 1960s


Introduction



The Euro-dollar market* was in fact, and is indeed today, an international wholesale market in money, involving Euro-sterling and other national currencies such as Swiss franc and to a lesser degree the other major European currencies. This paper will briefly outline in a chronological order how the Euro-dollar market developed during the first five years of the 1960s. As these markets had one thing in common, the fact that they existed in centres foreign to the natural habitat of the currency concerned. US restrictions, such as Regulation Q of the Federal Reserve System limited the rates that may be paid to depositors, whether domestic or overseas, primarily in order to protect the great number of small US banks that constituted the American banking system. Hence, a banking business developed, involving borrowing and lending and, the evolution of an investment medium, in currencies outside the territory in which the currency is ordinarily regarded as domestic currency. This tended to produce a wider spread between the rate paid to overseas depositors and the rate charged to overseas lenders than was the case in London and certain other major centres.

Some Symptoms of Stress


There are many symptoms related to stress. It is only when our mind and body does not overcome the amount of stress that we have many symptoms of stress.



Symptoms of stress can be a death sentence. Stress symptoms can include gastrointestinal problems and this is why it is very difficult for the person to return to health.



Are symptoms bad?



Symptoms are important  if we listen and learn from them. Stress symptoms speak volumes about a state of well-being. The symptoms of stress are symptoms related to one of the main causes of stress: physical, electromagnetic/geopathic, thermal, allergies/sensitivities, toxins/poisons, nutrition, and emotions.



Emotional stress is what people consider when they think about stress. Emotional health is paramount to your health and well-being. To get a grasp on your stress you have to take time to understand your emotional state. When you do you can change it to reduce the stress in your life.



Name one symptom and it is related to stress. We all have stress symptoms. This is a part of life. How we each deal with stress in our lives leaves clues to our quality of life. Symptoms speak volumes to how we deal with life.



You want to be more specific? Your heart beat is related to stress. At rest it beats to pump blood through your body. The more you work, the harder it beats and when you really over-do it, it cant keep up with your demands.



Physical stress, emotional stress, and nutritional stress all exhibit symptoms of stress in different parts of the body and mind.


But the question isnt all the symptoms of stress that society keeps chasing. It is in finding the cause of stress related to your symptoms. Remove the cause of your stress and you remove the affect of your stress.



How to remove the cause of your stress takes work and dedication. There are some tools that work and some things you can do that will increase your stress. Find what works for you and make a stress management plan for a lifetime.



Stress is a normal response of your body to situations that you perceive as dangerous. We all have amounts of stress every day that we each have to deal with.



Burn this into your brain: Any symptom you have is related to stress to some degree or another!


A great practice to get into is to correlate the symptom you have to a particular stress. Is your symptom related to lack of sleep, bad food, insufficient exercise, or emotional stress?



Can you even identify your stress? Is your stress buried deep?



When you ask pointed questions about your symptom and your stress you might find an answer you need to move beyond your current level of health.



Physical symptoms of stress are virtually any symptoms that show up. Physical symptoms are a mirror from the body to the stress the person is going through. Chronic stress brings with it many of the physical symptoms you are probably dealing with today.



Symptoms caused by stress go through many physiological changes.



The first effect on the body is that blood is diverted from less vital to more vital organs. Over time and amount chronic stress, less blood in a certain area causes that area to become malnourished. Then this body part may give physiological symptoms.


All due to a stress response and reaction by the body. The cure? Remove the stressTHEN attend to the physical symptom.


After a period of time, your body will nourish the non-vital area once again and the body will heal. Can you see why addressing the physical symptom of stress without finding the cause of stress is foolish?



The first hallmark sign of the body’s reaction to stress is dysfunction of the adrenal glands; an adrenal enlargement. These are the stress glands of choice in the body. These glands literally become fatigued and stressed. Caffeine, sugar, inactivity, emotional stress, physical stress all have a profound effect on the adrenal system and lowers any chance of dealing with stress.



The second effect in reaction to stress is the activity of the lymphatic system; an intense shrinkage or atrophy of the thymus, the spleen, the lymph nodes and lymphatic structures throughout the body. They cannot keep immune surveillance. Do you know people who are always sick? Check out their stress and youll find a correlation.



The third effect of stress on the body is bleeding or deep irritation to the lining of the stomach and intestines. They literally ulcerate. Stomach ulcers. Intestinal ulcers.



It is when the mind and body does not overcome the amount of stress that we have
