The Real Revolution

The Real Revolution
Apparently the full quote is: “The revolution was won in the hearts and minds of the colonists decades before the first shot was ever fired! The American Revolution was the greatest out come event of the Great Awakening! Our founding generation found that it was also their Christian duty to preserve liberty and freedom. God given rights!!!”

Tobii REX peripheral adds eye-tracking functionality to Windows 8 PCs

Over the past decade, Sweden’s Tobii has been working on adding eye-tracking technology to a mix of user inputs that includes keyboards, mice and touchpads and screens. After demonstrating its GAZE UI for Windows 8 at last year’s CES, the company is set to showcase its first eye-tracking consumer peripheral device which brings the GAZE functionality to any Windows 8 PC at CES 2013. By tracking their eye movements, the Tobii REX allows Windows 8 users to scroll, zoom, navigate and select using their peepers in conjunction with a mouse or touchpad.

Madness: These statistics could qualify tantrum-throwing children as mentally ill

A great comment from one of my Facebook mates, Brian Williams:
There are two things that young children need more than anything else: love and attention. Given common sense in everything else, that is the only secret of keeping them in good shape. Drugs are, in any conceivable case, the worst possible treatment and amount to child abuse. Giving any attention to a tantrum instead of to the child seized by it is also an abuse.
The way to deal with tantrums is the simplest thing of all. A tantrum is simply an introverted state and it is only necessary to draw the child’s attention back out to his surroundings. Stay totally calm, ignore the tantrum completely (or you will make it worse), and react to nothing. Gently tell the child to look at things in the room or environment one at a time, and say “good” when they do. Children respond incredibly quickly: once my little boy went in a total screaming “won’t get into bed” tantrum. “Look at that,” I said, and pointed at the wall. “Huh?” he said, and changed immediately back to his normal, sweet disposition.

7 Healthy Habits Proven to Help You Live Longer

Dr. Breslow practiced what he preached, living until he was 97, passing away this April. Here are Dr. Breslow’s seven habits for healthy living and a longer life:
• Stop smoking. Dr. Breslow was one of the first researchers to prove a link between smoking and diseases such as lung cancer. Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that one in five deaths in the U.S. – 443,000 in all – is directly attributable to smoking. A smoker can expect to live 11 to 14 years less than a nonsmoker.
• Exercise regularly. If you’re a couch potato, you’re setting yourself up for a host of troubles, from obesity and joint problems to diabetes and heart disease. Getting active will make you feel better and improve your health as well. One recent study found that as little as 15 minutes a day of physical activity can reduce your risk of dying by 14 percent. Another study shows that daily moderate to high levels of exercise can increase your lifespan by nearly four years.
SPECIAL: Your Sugar Level May Be Killing You. Control Naturally.
• Drink moderately or not at all. Studies have shown that one alcoholic drink a day can reduce your risk of heart disease and increase levels of the “good” cholesterol HDL. But if you don’t ordinarily drink, don’t start (Dr. Breslow was a teetotaler). And if you do drink, limit yourself to one 5-ounce glass of wine or liquor (or 12 ounces of beer) if you’re a woman; two if you’re a man.
• Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can do more than just make you groggy in the morning. It can weaken your immune system, lead to depression, and even increase your risk of certain cancers. Aim for at least seven hours of sleep a night, and talk to your doctor if you regularly have trouble falling or staying asleep.
• Eat regular meals. Skipping meals or saving your biggest meals for late in the day can lead to weight gain and diabetes. Why? Severe hunger makes your metabolism sluggish, making it hard to take off weight.
• Maintain a healthy weight. You know that obesity raises the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. What you may not realize is that being overweight is tied to many more conditions: certain cancers, joint and back pain, depression, fatty liver disease, and sleep disorders, just to name a few.
• Eat breakfast. There’s a reason it’s called “the most important meal of the day.” Not only does eating in the morning help you lose weight, it also boosts your energy level, kick-starts your metabolism and improves memory and concentration. Just be sure your breakfast consists of healthy fare like whole-grain cereal, egg whites, and fruit.
