Headache pain

Headache pain is a common occurrence and it’s often not easy to figure out when someone needs to worry about their headache.

Headaches can be related to environmental or lifestyle factors such as stress, the way you sleep, the amount of time spent sitting, and even looking at a computer screen for too long.

The duration of headache pain is variable and may last from hours to years. The duration of headache pain may also depend on the type of underlying condition that causes it and on the person’s age.

If your headache is accompanied by additional symptoms like fever, difficulty speaking or swallowing, numbness of the face or arm on one side of the body, confusion or mental changes like not remembering what you did yesterday, then this may be something more serious and requires immediate medical attention.

Tension headaches are headaches that are caused by stress or emotions. These headaches can range from moderate to severe, and they usually occur on both sides of the head. Tension headache is a type of headache that affects people of all ages.

As with tension-type headache, migraine headache is an episodic pain that usually affects one side or both sides of the head and may be preceded by an aura (a group of symptoms that include sensory disturbances and difficulty in speech). Migraine without aura is more common in children than adults; however, migraine with aura has been found to affect people in their early adolescence. The frequency and severity of migraines may change over time for any person.

Yacht Charter in Greece

Sail across Greece on board of your own charter yacht!

Staying at home or going on a long term yacht charter vacation !?

There is a time when we are faced with a choice. In fact, this happens all the time, every day, many times a day. Most of the time this decision making is simply about the type of food we will have or how will the late afternoon be spent; coffee at the nearby bar (only in case its sunny and terrace is open) or at home watching a game show or a news update.

When it comes to yacht charter holidays, the decision making is at times much more complex. Do you go for a weeks sailing or should it be two weeks. Ideally, 10 day charter is what serious yacht charterers will always consider. However, at times this process is not so simple. What if you would like to consider taking the whole summer off and sailing across Greece on a long term yacht charter basis ? It certainly isn’t for everyone and its even more certain that not many will attempt to do it.

However there are plenty of companies for bareboat yacht charter in Greece . There is no point of listing them right here. A simple google search will provide plenty of results.

Tooth decay

 

To treat a cavity, the first step is to remove the decayed part of the tooth.
The dental “drill”, called a handpiece, remains the technique of choice for removing tooth decay. High-speed handpieces make treatment quicker and more comfortable than in the past, although children still may feel vibrations during the process.
Once the decay is removed, the next step is filling the hole where the decay was. Talk to a pediatric dentist about which of the many choices of filling materials is best for the child.
The Kid’s Dentist uses composites for the tooth filling material. These tooth-colored fillings are made from durable plastics called composite resins. Similar in color and texture to natural teeth, the fillings are less noticeable and more attractive than other types of fillings. Your child can smile, talk and eat with confidence. Certain tooth-colored filling materials (such as glass ionomers) even release fluoride, resulting in a tooth that is more resistant to decay. In addition, tooth-colored fillings are compatible with dental sealants. A tooth can be filled and sealed at the same time to provide extra decay protection.

It’s cool to be a geek, EU tells women

A lack of women in high-tech jobs is costing the European Union billions of euros, the bloc’s technology Commissioner Neelie Kroes said on Thursday, starting a campaign to attract women into a sector that faces a deepening skills shortage.

Only nine in 100 European app developers are women and women make up less than 30 percent of Europe’s information and communications technology (ICT) workforce, according to figures from the Commission, the EU executive.

If the sector’s skills shortage continues it will undermine European competitiveness, Kroes said. Solving it would ease the EU unemployment problem.

Figures released by the Commission on Thursday showed the European ICT sector had more than 400,000 job vacancies in February, a figure the EU executive predicts will rise to more than 500,000 in 2015 and more than 900,000 in 2020.

But the number studying technology at university is stable for men and falling for women.

“Attracting more women to tech careers is an economic imperative,” Neelie Kroes said of the initiative, launched as part of Saturday’s International Women’s Day.

“If women held digital jobs as frequently as men, the European GDP could be boosted annually by around 9 billion euros ($12 billion),” she said, quoting a new study carried out by the Commission.

In the high-tech sector, women are particularly under-represented at management level. The percentage of women bosses is 19.2 percent compared with 45.2 percent in other sectors.

The research found that organizations that seek to nurture women in management achieve a 35 percent higher return on equity and 34 percent better return to shareholders than comparable organizations without a policy on inclusion.

The Commission’s campaign seeks to encourage young women to study and pursue technology careers by celebrating role models and online videos of the sector’s most inspiring women.

“ICT is no longer for the geeky few – it is cool, and it is the future!” Kroes said in a Twitter message.

Rhodes Greece (Rhodos) history

The Greek island of Rhodes has a “colossal” history, and it was home to one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. The Colossus of Rhodes was erected in 293 B.C., which stood on the island until being destroyed by an earthquake around 227 B.C. It is a land rich in history, and filled with tales of war, conquest, re-conquest and finally liberation.

Documented history of Rhodes dates back to 1500 B.C. when the Mycenanean Greeks conquered the island. Three major city-states were founded, and these included Ialyssos, Lindos and Kamiros. The Persians later conquered much of the island in 491 B.C., but the city-state of Lindos held out and later Rhodians acceded to the Athenian alliance during the Classical Age.

The island was part of the Roman Empire and later the Byzantine Empire. King Richard I of England, the Lionhearted, visited Rhodes during the Third Crusade in 1191 A.D. He plundered the island of various goods and animals and recruited soldiers to join his army. Many of these men would return however with more plunder on their minds, and 10 years later during the Fourth Crusade the Crusader knights besieged and took the island by force from the Byzantines. The Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem bought the island in 1309 A.D., only to leave in 1522 A.D. when it fell to the invading Turks.

For the next 400 years the island was part of Ottoman Empire, until 1912 when the Italians, with the help of the Greek inhabitants, wrestled control. After the Second World War Rhodes finally became part of Greece again on March 7, 1948.

God Only Takes The Best by Christopher Warner

God saw that she was getting tired and a cure was not meant to be
So He Put His Arms Around Her And Whispered “Come With Me”
With Tearful Eyes We Watched Her Suffer And Watched Her Fade Away
Although We Loved Her Dearly We Could Not Make Her Stay
A Golden Heart Stopped Beating And A Warm Loving Heart To Rest
GOD Broke Our Hearts To Prove To Us That He Only Takes The Best

In Our Hearts by Rose de Leon

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.

Memorial address by Hamasaki Ayumi

I remember I went to sleep late that night feeling uneasy
And had a very sad dream
The phone started to ring in the morning, breaking the silence
And the premonition became a reality
Leaving an unfading scar on my heart
You became a star by yourself
