Heart Attacks And Hot Water A very good article which takes two minutes to read. I'm sending this to persons I care about........I hope you do too!!!
Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt theirdrinking habit while eating. For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by theintestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. thanks to internet -2-
Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack... A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

A Simple Calculation! – but Stunning!
Amazing Growth of INFOSYS We all know about the growth story of Infosys. How about the stock? Lets find out. Infosys was founded by Narayana Murthy along with some others in 1981. It came with an IPO in 1993 at the price of Rs. 95. Everybody who applied got the shares. Many missed the Diamond opportunity by not applying. Suppose that a person applied for 100 Shares. It would cost him Rs. 9500. Let us assume that he is holding the same position till today. What will be the value now? Let us calculate. Remember that in these 13 years Infosys would have offered many dividends. Let us keep this aside and calculate the value of shares alone. Soon after IPO, Infy gave 1:1 bonus in 1994.

So, our 100 shares will be 200 in 1994. Again they gave 1:1 bonus in 1996. That will take the count to 400 shares. And again in 1998 they offered bonus of 1:3 shares. That will take our count to 1600 shares. In 2000, they split the stocks (Rs. 10 FC to Rs. 5 FC). This will take our count to 3200 shares. In 2004, again they announced 1:1 bonus. It will take our count to 6400 shares. Recently, two months back they gave bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1. Now, the count of ours would be 12800. Today(13/10/2006), I checked the CMP of Infosys. Its Rs. 2070. So, what will be the value of our shares? 12800 x 2070 = Rs. 2,64,96,000. Yes, its Two Crores Sixty Four Lakh and Ninety Six Thousand only. What other investment would have taken to this level? Real-Estate? Bank Deposit? Gold? I don’t think so. A Bank deposit of Rs. 9500 in the same year at the rate of 12% would have hardly fetched us Rs.38,000 by this time. Can u find ONE MORE INFOSYS………………now and tell me also

Worried About a Moody Teen? PART – II
Dr. Diamond says sulks or doldrums that persist for two or more weeks could be a sign of depression and should be taken seriously. Parents should pay attention to how a teen is functioning in school, sports, favorite activities, a job and with friends. A temperamental child who throws a fit, even for a few days, but continues to get good grades, enjoy friends and participate in sports is likely OK. But one whose grades fall, who shuns friends or refuses to participate in a team or activity he or she once loved may have a more serious problem. Other signs to watch out for, experts say: Teens who are excessively angry, abuse alcohol or drugs, or run into trouble with the law may be depressed. Also, changes in eating habits—eating more or less—or sleeping (ditto) may signal a problem. "The most important thing parents can do is stay connected to their kids and keep open communication," says Dr. Diamond. "Let them know that they can talk to you about anything serious and know that you will listen and hear them." He often encourages parents to consult a therapist on how to talk to their children about these difficult issues. thanks to internet -6-
The Next Step: Treatment A family therapy designed for teens with elevated depression and suicidal thoughts is showing good results. Attachment-Based Family Therapy, or ABFT, was developed by researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. A study reported last February in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry included 66 children, ages 12 to 17. Patients with severe suicidal thinking were at least four times more likely to have no suicidal thinking at the end of the treatment—three months later than patients who had other treatments. Some hallmarks of the therapy: Family involvement. Most treatment models mainly work with the adolescents alone, says study leader Guy Diamond, director of the Center for Family Intervention Science at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Yet a family's influence is very important to teens, he says. "We try to help parents understand the challenges that these kids are struggling with and give them the parenting tools that allow them to reach out and support a depressed and suicidal adolescent." •
A specific time frame. Unlike many other forms of therapy, ABFT is a rapid process, lasting just six to 12 weeks. Therapists first meet with the teen to identify the issues that are causing the child to be distant from his or her family and discuss the importance of addressing these problems directly. thanks to internet -7-
Then they meet separately with the parents to help them understand what is going on with their child, discuss ways to improve trust and work on emotional-based parenting skills. •
A no-blame atmosphere. "We are not interested in blaming the parents," says Dr. Diamond. "We say, 'If the kid could get some of this off his chest, it could open up communication.'" In the final stage, the therapists meet with the teen and parents together, to facilitate the dialogue between them. •
Source: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia A 48-year-old writer from Asheville, N.C., says she spends much of her time these days trying to monitor and help her teenage son. A handsome, outgoing kid who excels at golf, he was diagnosed with obsessivecompulsive disorder when he was in middle school, after teachers suggested she have him evaluated by a doctor because he was getting up from his desk every few minutes during class to sharpen his pencil. Then, after she divorced his father two years ago, the boy became increasingly angry. He started yelling at his mother if he didn't get his way. Then he began throwing things: rocks and apples at cars and eggs at houses. Last year, he watched as his friends stripped his mom's Christmas tree and threw all the ornaments in the road. Then he got arrested twice—first for using a paintball gun to disfigure all the mailboxes in an entire neighborhood and then for possessing marijuana at school. thanks to internet -8-
His mother has taken him to five different psychologists—he often refuses to go back—who gave him an additional diagnosis of ADHD. "If your eyes aren't open, if you're in denial, the problems escalate," she says. Mr. Beasley believes that his daughter's life was saved by a company called Behavioral Link that provides peer support, intensive in-home counseling and therapists who are available around the clock for parents and children to call in a crisis. Now she has a psychologist she likes and takes her medication. Her grades are getting better, Mr. Beasley says, and her depression appears to be in check. "We were naïve," says Mr. Beasley in retrospect. "Someone needed to sit us down and say, 'Here are things you should be looking for.' "

Laughit!! A SAD LUV STORY of an Engineering Student... A guy was deeply in love with his classmate. One day he proposed her by saying that he loved her a lot... But, she was angry and refused and threatened him that she'd complain to the Principal if, he ever bothers her again... One day the girl borrowed a text book from that boy and wrote a message, in that book, "I love you too, I'm sorry to hurt you the other day. If, u've forgiven me, please come and talk to me and never leave me"... But the guy never talked to her...
4 yrs passed away and nothing happened... ☺ ☺ ☺ "Moral" of the STORY ☺ Engineering BOYS Never Open Their Books!!! thanks to internet -10-
