Diane’s Notes:
Numbers 6: 24-26
“The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The
Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace”.
T'ai Chi -
In 2000, researcher Catherine Hartman chose T’ai Chi for her hip-joint
or knee problem exercise study because its slower, less intense
exercises are more appealing to people with joint problems. This study
examined T’ai Chi as a means of improving the condition of people
suffering from joint discomfort. Another bonus was the adaptability of
its movements to those with more extensive joint damage, even those
dependent on walkers. By the end of the study, participants reported
greater relief of their discomforts and improvements in their
flexibility, balance, and ability to do general household tasks.
T’ai Chi - Used in China for more than 1,000 years, T’ai Chi is a
mind/body discipline
whose ancient philosophy and dance-like movements are thought to help
one toward not only physical health but also inner peace. Catherine
Hartman participants also reported a decrease in their stress level.
T’ai Chi develops focused and quiet non-aggressive strength and power.

Allergy Defense, Facts
from Kroger’s Pharmacies:
Avoid going outdoors at peak pollen
times-between 5:00am and 10:00am. After being outdoors, change your
clothes. Avoid changing cloths around carpeting and/or linens where
pollen can cling. Shower and wash your hair each night-pollen can remain
on your skin and in your hair. Whether indoors or in your car, use
your air conditioner. Change indoor filters often.

The Hope Heart Institute says; for some one
who already has heart disease, severe air pollution could trigger a
heart attack, or in someone who has asthma, it could trigger a fatal
asthma attack. Air Quality Index’s should be of interest to
everyone. GREEN=GOOD;
YELLOW=MODERATE;
ORANGE=UNHEALTHY FOR SENSATIVE PEOPLE;
RED=UNHEALTHY; PURPLE=VERY UNHEALTHY.
Dangerous Diabetes:
The Trinity Community Health report
says many people don’t realize
how dangerous diabetes can be. It’s possible complications range from
blindness to kidney failure. To make matters worse, half of the 16
million Americans don’t know they have it. Working closely with a
physician to control weight, and more importantly, blood-glucose (sugar)
levels can lower the risks greatly. Exercise is another important weapon
against diabetes. A simple fasting blood test can let you know if you
are a victim.
The Hope Heart Institute says; Great Managers: 1. Are positive - Visualizing success for themselves
and their employees. 2. Encourage others by helping employees live up
to their potential and respect the contribution each has to offer. 3.
Have consistently high expectations for employees. 4. Think BIG
as they seek out projects that will
excite and motivate people. 5. Uses a lot of polite phrases like
“please” and “thank you”.
Flying the American Flag
-
The flag is never allowed to touch the ground or the
floor.
-
The flag should be displayed at half-staff until
noon on Memorial Day
then raised to the top of the staff.
-
The flag is never flown in inclement weather except when
using an all-weather flag.
-
The flag can be flown every day from sunrise to sunset
and at night if illuminated properly.
-
The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered
ceremoniously.
-
The flag should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up,
in folds but always allowed to fall free.
-
When vertically hung over the center of the street, the
flag always has the union stars to the north in an east/west street,
and to the east in a north/south street.
NEVER
fly the flag upside down except as a signal of distress in instances of
extreme danger to life or property.
