I’ll say this out loud. Certificates CAN be BULLSHIT. The biggest problem I have with certifications, is how personal trainers are so caught up with getting the best certificates. I mean, why do you have to decorate yourself with a Westside Barbell, CSCS, PICP Level 5, ACCA Level-3, Degree in Law and Business, pHD in Computer Science blablablablalbaa!!!! Personal trainers, are supposed to train their clients and help the clients towards their goals.

The link between cell phones and brain cancer has been studied and studied and studied to death, and the results are conclusive:  there is no correlation between the two.  Yet the WHO, a political organization posing as a health organization, is now claiming otherwise.Let’s take a look at the actual study.  Oh, wait, we can’t.  It hasn’t been published yet.  The WHO is engaging in “Science by Press Conference,” where researchers make bold proclamations about their findings long before their results

Say “ Fit ‘n Right ” and immediately you picture the sweet Del Monte drink running down your throat, making you feel healthy.  Del Monte and SM Taste Asia presented a unique health/wellness/lifestyle blogging event called Dare to be Fit ‘n Right last Friday. Fitness isn’t all about being thin enough to fit in a pair of x-sized jeans, nor is it about being buff, as master Coach Jim Saret relates — it’s about being healthy , losing x-number-of-pounds or developing biceps is just a bi-product.  It’s about being well-rounded.

It is always stimulating to be among “one’s people”, as NicKnits would say. It is particularly stimulating when it is people that are smart and even able to communicate their smartness either in words or in yarn. When they are able to combine the two, it becomes pure magic. Yesterday at the Science Gallery was just that, magic. Margaret Wertheim communicated the findings of Daina Taimina ’s fine mind so very well.

We all know the easiest ways to self-destruct, and yet some of us blindly race to the finish line at the earliest time we could. A lack of some things can kill. Obesity, diabetes, and cancer are only some of the serious problems caused by inadequate sleep or sleep that is less than 7 or 8 hours a night. Mental fatigue can kill. On the other hand, the degenerative brain disease called Alzheimer’s may be avoided by engaging in mental activities and exercises such as reading, doing crosswords, mind games, and solving puzzles.

A controversy raging for two decades over the causes of the worldwide pandemic of autism in children was resolved unequivocally in formal evidence by Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D.  in 2006 but little notice was taken then. Today Collins controls the  US’ annual medical research budget of US$30.5 billion: [NIH Budget] making Collins’ 2006 evidence of substantial international significance for many millions of parents and their children and for funding of research into the causes of autism.The
