About Frequent Headaches

By Rose Williams

A great many of us live with headaches that afflict us for seemingly no reason. Some of these headache types occur once and then we may live for several years before we get them again. Other types of headaches seem to occur very often in our lives. These latter headaches are known as frequent headaches.

Usually, frequent headaches seem to be tension headaches. However, frequent headaches can also be the result of over-dosing on over-the-counter (OTC) medications. This type of frequent headache is called a 'rebound headache', because, while it is safe to take the recommended dosage to treat headaches, rebound headaches happen because the dose has been exceeded.

So, one of the ways to alleviate the pain that frequent headaches bring is to methodically reduce the amount of method that you are taking. For people who may find this step hard, talking with their GP can help find the best method to achieve this without making their headaches or other condition worse.

Besides overdosing on headache medication, there are also other factors that can bring the onset of frequent headaches. These can be excessive amounts of smoking and drinking lots of alcohol beverages. Reducing your alcohol intake to a moderate level can help with reducing the severity of your frequent headaches.

As smoking any form of tobacco will increase your risk of experiencing frequent headaches, it is definitely advisable to stop smoking completely. While it might seem to be easy to control these frequent headache triggers, you may actually need professional assistance to reduce the occurrence of frequent headaches.

Therefore, when you talk with your doctor you should find out about headache clinics and if they have the facilities to help you with your rebound and/or frequent headaches. People who would like to cope with controlling their headache medicine themselves can start by reducing the dosage little by little.

Afterwards, when your body can deal with that reduction, you can lower the dosage a bit more. Should you feel that the headaches are becoming too severe, you have the choice of taking a little cortisone to help tolerate the pain of the headaches while your body slowly gets used to to the new regimen.

Because frequent headaches seem to be caused more by the misuse of headache tablets, it would be a good idea for you to take the medication only when you really need to. This way you can control your dose of the medicine that causes you get other headaches in addition to what you originally started the pain medication for.

MC Means Motorcycle Club

By L.J. James

Think about the words Motorcycle Club! Why is it that when those words are heard together many think Crime or Criminal Organization? Say you are having an event and you are looking for a place to have it. You can have a book club and everyone will welcome you in! A cooking club and everyone really loves you. You say Motorcycle Club and right away its, Sorry we are busy on that day!

Motorcycle Clubs are even turned away from bars where they want to have events by Independent Bikers, Why is that? We need to let the world know that Bikers independent or in a Motorcycle Club can be good people! We can not show people that Motorcycle Club Members are not all bad if we are not allowed in a Bar because we are wearing Colors, Its the same thing if you are an independent biker and some one will not let you in some sports bar because you are wearing a leather jacket! I hope when an independent Biker who has turned away Motorcycle Clubs from his bar and is then turned away from a bar he wants to go in Understands the irony!

Some Motorcycle Clubs have even gone so far as to changed their name, they call themselves Riding Clubs, Motorcycle associations or some other type of group so they can leave out the words Motorcycle Club! and try to avoid the problems that come with being part of a Motorcycle Club! They say they are different from a Motorcycle Club ! They look and dress and act just like a motorcycle Club but they just call themselves something different! I say a rose by any other name !!!

These Clubs are just trying to get around all the prejudice associated with the words Motorcycle Club ! They are not part of the solution but are part of the problem! This is America and You can call your Club what ever you want, But the thing that unites you and your Club is the same thing that unites all who Ride! It is the Motorcycle! How can anyone leave out the word Motorcycle? It is the heart of what you are!

If You are a Motorcycle Club be proud of it and don't try to get around any problems by playing word games and calling yourself something else by using different words!!! This is just my opinion I would like to know what others think, Please email me at AmericanBikerX@Yahoo.com

Learning To Become A Clairvoyant Online

By Deborah Reed

Did you know that many people who want to become a clairvoyant are starting to study online? They're using the internet to learn how to develop their paranormal skills! And many are discovering how to enhance their basic clairvoyant abilities.

Clairvoyance is sometimes described as a sixth sense that everyone has deep inside their mind. Most people, however, are totally unaware of it. Others will see little glimpses of it from time to time when they have a dream, a premonition, or a moment of dj vu. For a small minority, clairvoyant gifts are strong and just waiting to be developed. Anyone who is interested in discovering and developing their clairvoyant abilities to a higher level can learn more about techniques they can practice at clairvoyant sites online.

Clairvoyance has been part and parcel of mankind's history since the dawn of the earliest civilizations. Sometimes revered, often feared, clairvoyants have played a pivotal role in helping to shape the lives of many great people. But for what was once considered to be something like a secret cult, the secrets of clairvoyance are now available on the internet. Those wishing to discover more about this, and those who harbor a desire to get actively involved in this realm of the paranormal, becoming a clairvoyant online is now a real option for the first time.

People who are attuned to their clairvoyance almost seem to have a sixth sense. They can often discern things about the future, the past, or something happening somewhere very distant from where they are with remarkable accuracy. All of this discernment comes through their mind and no other communication or technology. Some discover this ability when they encounter a fearful, dangerous, or even near death experience. But now anyone can practice techniques to help discover and nurture this talent via the clairvoyant online sites.

In the universe, all things are connected-the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, and even the molecules and atoms that make up every part of every thing. Clairvoyance helps you tap into this universal source of all things in an almost spiritual way. Everything is already there and all around you all the time, but in order to perceive it, you need to disconnect yourself from the material world.

You must achieve a sense of calm and empty your mind so the communication may be received. Many clairvoyants or people who want to discover their clairvoyant powers use yoga and meditation to prepare them. The clairvoyant sites online teach specific techniques for helping to prepare the mind and clear your thoughts to be receptive.

The first step along the path to becoming at true clairvoyant is a total acceptance of the world of the paranormal and in particular clairvoyance. It is almost means returning to that mental innocence that we first had when we were little children; a time before skepticism, sarcasm and irony were bred into us. If we can learn to accept the realism, the existence of the paranormal, we will have lain the foundation stone on which to build our clairvoyant talent.

When you believe, you will be able to achieve the meditative state required to open your mind to the possibilities of clairvoyance. You will focus on achieving this sense of calm and well being, free from all negativity. And then you are in a place where the universe can communicate with you-through sounds, feelings, words, thoughts, or images.

The next thing that a clairvoyant online site can explain and help with, is how to recognize and interpret any messages that you will receive. Until you begin to adjust and fine-tune your clairvoyant power, the messages may seem fragmented and even unimportant, although in reality, anything that is of the universal truth is important somehow. It just may be that it is difficult at first to understand where and how it fits in.

So these sites help you learn what the signs you receive mean and how to interpret them. The first thing these sites will teach you, however, is critical-and that is this: You must never try to force the process or the result. As soon as you consciously begin to try to direct or control the situation, you will lose all touch with the universal truth and power you seek to embrace.

If you are a complete novice, the process will start gently. You may for example just see a color, feel some sort of external emotion, or even hear something. You may of course see a whole event happening in front of you, but only if your mind is totally clear and uncontaminated will you know it is true clairvoyance. But once known and experienced, you will know it forever.

Remote Viewing. What Is Really Going On?

By Hugo Preis

Have you ever thought about having the ability to see things, people, even places that are not within the range of your five senses? The thing to remember is that we have more than just five senses and it is entirely possible to reach out with your own innate psychic ability and to make observations that are otherwise impossible!

Remember that remote viewing is not the same as an out of body experience. With an out of body experience, which is also called astral travel, you travel in a spirit form to see things or places far from you.

On the other hand, with remote viewing, you are looking at a form of psychic dowsing, where you can use your innate psychic power to find out what you need. Essentially, you will be using ESP to find out what you need.

When we are young, the psychic ability comes much more naturally, but it is still something that we can pick up as we get older. Consider the fact that we only use ten percent of our brain; it might be a good time to put the other ninety percent to good use! When you train yourself, you will be able to do just that.

For instance, think of how comforted you would be to check in on your kids when they are away. This kind of security and peace of mind is just one of the benefits that you can get when you are looking at remote viewing

When you are thinking about learning psychic abilities like this one, you will find that it takes no natural talent. As soon as you are taught to enter the trance-like state where the remote viewing takes place, you will be able to use it to your heart's content, no matter what kind of talent you might have.

There are some simple techniques that you can try.

*First, sit yourself down in a quiet comfortable place and close your eyes. Get rid of as many distractions as you can.

*Start by breathing slowly and deeply through your nose and see what you can do about making sure that your tongue is pressed to the roof of your mouth. This can keep you from yawning while you do this!

*You need to believe in your own ability to succeed. Remember that as you put yourself deeper into your relaxed state that you need to tell yourself that you are capable o seeing things that you are not physically seeing.

*As you get started, start by thinking of a very simple target. One good exercise to get you started is to think about viewing your relaxing body from the side or from straight ahead. Construct the image of yourself slowly and carefully. While it can be difficult to view yourself this way, just remember that it will come with patience. Think about where other people stand when they view you and think about how you must look to them. This can be a good regular exercise for you.

*When you have mastered the mental controls that you need to maneuver yourself through the viewing process, why not cast your gaze a little bit wider? Consider all of the different options that you have when you are thinking about moving forward and learning about remote viewing. Picture a place that you are very familiar with and think about the small details that will surround it. When you have a picture in your head, go to the place itself and look it over. What kind of details did you see?

One interesting thing that you might be interested in doing is to see how these remote viewing exercises can involve two people. Start with you and your friend sitting in different rooms. Your friend performs a simple movement and as you concentrate on what is going on, you should try to see your friend doing this. Then let them do the same or you. This can be something that allows you to instantly compare results.

After you have finished your remote viewing techniques, you are going to find that entering a relaxed state is much easier than you think. Consider how you can use a trance-like reaction state to hypnotize yourself. Even if you are still wide awake, you are going to be relaxed enough to get into your own subconscious.

The truth of the matter is that your psychic abilities are much easier to get to than you might think, and remember that practice is the key!

Trees as Memorial Gifts

By Gareth Z Mitchell

Whether you have lost a loved one or you know someone who has, there are many different reactions that you might have. You might be shocked that they are gone, you may be regretful for the opportunities that you missed or you might find yourself looking for a way to celebrate the life that they led. Many people who are grieving over a loved one find themselves looking for a meaningful memorial, and this is where memorial trees can come in.

Trees are wonderful additions to any area and in many ways, you will find that these are bereavement gifts that can be a benefit to the people who are mourning as well. A tree is not a graveyard where you focus on lost chances; instead, you will be outside, standing under the shade of a living thing and rejoicing underneath it.

Remember the way that the departed touched your life or the lives of the everyone around them. Remember the way that a tree reaches out and provides shade and cover to everyone who comes near it. If you are mourning a person who you learned a great deal about life from, a tree would be a beautiful way to commemorate that.

One thing that people won't forget about trees is that they will live for a fairly long time. They can serve as a reminder for the people who are left behind that life does go on, and that just because someone is no longer alive, it doesn't mean that their presence is gone.

Think of an area that the deceased cared about very much, whether it was a park, a yard, or a natural preserve of some sort. Talk to the people who oversee it or take care of it, and the chances are high that they would love to have a new addition to the property. Adding memorial plaques can help everyone recognize the tree as the garden memorial that you want it to be.

When you are looking to remember someone who was important to you, try to look off the beaten path. A tree is something that everyone can benefit from, and when people are in a place where they want to have a living reminder, and not just a stone or a plaque, a tree stands in quite well.

When you are thinking of trees, think of all the positive associations that you have with them. Do you find that you are in a place where you are going to be able to move forward and to feel comforted? Consider how trees make you feel and what kind of memories of the deceased that you want to remember.

Trees can commemorate loss as memorial gifts in a deeply meaningful way, so think about what trees might mean to you and to the people you care about!

Healing Your Mind And Emotions Properly

By Richard West

Experiencing physical pain is terrible which usually depends on the body condition of a person. This kind of pain could be healed in a day, a week, a month or a year. This form of physical injury can be cured in a little time with proper medication. But how can we cure emotional pain? Emotional healing can be applied to the depressed individual that is suffering emotional pain. This pain is not usually related to physical injury, this pain is more in the inside feeling of a human being. This pain is normally experienced when you lose somebody that you treasured the most. Emotional pain is difficult to heal and it needs proper attention.

After you lose someone that you love, your emotions will try to heal itself in a very similar way that your body deals with physical injury or pain. Sorry to say, but several of us prefer not to deal with the pains of our emotions, thus implying that the emotional pain that you experienced may never go away. The losing of someone that is close to you is very difficult to face and hard to experience. It is very difficult to cure the emotional pain, without proper action.

The procedure of emotional healing does change much whether you have been in pain for 1 hour or 10 years. The emotional healing is presented in the present moment. Contentment is our normal state, and the subconscious part of mind is persistently seeking for comfort. There are many kinds of emotional healing that can be applied to heal the pain. You can use the behavior therapy, psychoanalysis process, therapeutic hypnosis technique and simple guidance counseling. In this problem, the therapy needs a psychiatrist or a good counselor. The healing process is not instant; it needs several days or weeks to make well.

The most efficient and straightforward technique to focus on emotional pains is the therapeutic hypnosis. Therapeutic hypnosis is a unique and special type of communication to the subconscious part of mind, where all behavior are created and recollection is stored. The verbal communication of the subliminal mind is visual, and then the main objective is to complete your representation. With this process, the subconscious mind will generate the emotional healing faster that you require attaining peace of mind and creating the way of life that you want.

Therapeutic hypnosis is a common type which connects our conscious state of mind our sleep. It allows making contact with the subconscious mind that is 90% of the brain. It's a kind of method that is perform, build up, and release the way of viewing in making life a desirable section. Therapeutic hypnosis can attain quicker result, very proficient, and useful rather than psychoanalysis process or the behavior therapy. The state of mind is calmed and open for new changes when it's under hypnotized.

In this mind state, you can simply discover the feelings and thoughts that are connected to the painful experiences which stimulated the emotional pain, distress, ignominy, remorse, and low self esteem. If you are experiencing emotional pain, then it's best to consult an excellent psychiatrist to properly heal that emotional pain.

BOGO

By David Anttony

Definitions of words often change quite quickly these days. In the distant past the meaning of words was often set in stone. Today the meaning can change in a blink. With new faster ways to communicate with wider and more culturally, socially and education

There's a significant global movement happening where consumers are asking business to take care of the things they care about such as the less fortunate in society and the environment. The request is mainly tacit and despite it being an ironic request it by far indicates still that we are in a time of vast change. Consumers these days want their cake and eat it. They not only want cheap products, they also want the environment to be preserved and they want workers to be well looked after.

Until recently there was no real answer to this complex puzzle but today one actually exists. It exists in the reforging of a simple single word - GET. Today there is a new movement of consumers wanting to get and at the same time give. They are reforging the word GET into the word GIVE.

Every day automated email notices arrive in my inbox from Google Alerts for two keywords - BOGO and B1G1. I see all the new places these words are turning up on the Internet. Little by little these two words are gaining a their new meaning as more and more people take up the Buy One Give One cause.

B1G1 and BOGO, despite sounding like characters from a Marvel comic are acronyms for Buy One GET One free. You buy one and they give you an extra one for the same price.

Look up BOGO on Wikipedia.com (there isn't a definition yet for B1G1) and you will discover these definitions for BOGO:

* An acronym in the retail industry that stands for Buy One Get One. For example, you could say "Buy 1 DVD, Get 1 FREE!

* An acronym in slang British that stands for Britons Of Greek Origin or Greek Britons.

* Bogo, Cebu, a city in central Philippines.

* An alternate name for the Bilen ethnic group of Ethiopia or their language, Blin.

* Norway, a village in Norway.

* The mascot of the ITESM CEM.

* BogoMips, an unscientific measurement of CPU speed

* Bogosort, an ineffective sorting algorithm

BOGO light

There is a business in the USA called SunLight Solar founded by Mark Bent. He has created a special torch that not only is an amazing and sturdy solar-powered light; his company also gives a free torch to those in need in developing nations for each one bought. If you look on their website you will learn about their "BOGOlight".

"The BoGo - our Buy one/Give one - program has successfully provided lights to many, many thousands of people in the developing world, changing lives because of your purchase and participation." - BOGOlight.com

Mark Bent has flipped the BOGO acronym upside down when he started to use the word as part of his product name. For him now and the thousands who buy his lights, BOGO today means Buy One GIVE One. Each person gets to give a light every time they buy one for themselves. So now with each sale people who do not have the benefit of electricity can tap the power of the sun to support them in their lives.

There are many other well known and less well know businesses now doing Buy One Give One giving or transaction based giving as it is becoming known. Some of the famous ones are One Laptop Per Child and TOMS Shoes. Some of the less well-known ones (in the USA at least) are based in Australia, New Zealand and the UK - Maple Muesli, Blinds Couture, Earthstar Publishing, Figure 8 Body Chains, Honestly Women magazine, Sunsplash Homes and Thavibu Gallery based in Thailand are just a few special businesses that are leading the Buy One Give One movement in their parts of the world.

There are many Buy One Give One businesses now uniting under the common brand banner of Buy1GIVE1 managed by a Singapore based social enterprise which is becoming the home of transaction-based giving. Any business in the world can now integrate Buy One Give One giving with ease. It's like a 'CSR plug-in' allowing a business to instantaneously start giving from each and every sale, starting from just 1 cent. It's also no longer about giving an equivalent product to someone else. Instead it is about contributing to a project that resonates with a company's activity. For example a restaurant can feed a child, a television retailer can give a cataract blind person the gift of sight (Get Vision-Give Vision), a magazine publisher can plant a tree every time they sell a subscription and a property developer can build a low-cost family home for those in need (Buy1BUILD1) - the list is simply endless.

The stats now add up saying consumers do care. The 2008 Goodpurpose global study of consumer attitudes revealed that nearly a huge 68% of consumers would remain dedicated to a brand during an economic slump if it supported a charity cause. This study also highlighted some other key points as well such as:

* 52% of consumers globally are more likely to recommend a brand to others when it supports a good charity cause over one that doesn't.

* 52% of consumers globally are more likely to tell others of a brand when it supports a good charity cause over one that doesn't.

* Consumers are now voicing a clear desire for marketers to associate their brands to social causes. 42% say that if two products or services were of a similar quality and price, commitment to a cause outranks factors like innovation, design and brand loyalty when selecting one brand over another.

Getting becoming Giving

The new concept of Buy One GIVE One is starting to replace Buy One GET One as the global giving movement led by Buy1GIVE1 ripples out. Right now if you search for the terms B1G1 and BOGO you will find that websites that do Buy1-Give1 giving are on the first page of Google results. Certainly with the large consumer demand shown for products from companies like TOMS Shoes, BOGO lights and OLPC - One Laptop Per Child, this tide is set to continue and spread.

I did a Google search on the 25 topmost key words connected with the keyword BOGO as an experiment to see what would show up. The results were interesting so I have displayed them below. You may notice that right now the word Give doesn't show up. It will be interested to do this test again in twelve months time to see what changes. Consumers are now driving change and yes they want to receive free gifts (traditional B1G1/BOGO) but equally they also want to give to others or see others being given to.

Here are the results:

Free, photography, blogging, discount, networking, African, boots, groups, music, dallas, togo themes, wallpapers, buy, applications, skins, values, coupon, gift, sharing, shopping, pics, join, prose

Transactional or transaction-based giving

Unlike normal charitable giving Buy One Give One giving is transactional. What is meant by that is: every time you buy something you give something. In the case of SunNight Solar they give a physical light for every light sold. In most cases, businesses that become part of this special form of transaction-based giving, give in a different way. At Buy1GIVE1, giving can start from just USD 1c contribution per sale. At this amount no business in the world can say they cannot give and 100% contributed goes to the cause.

The amount contributed from each sale is not the point of focus with Buy1GIVE1 transaction based giving. The focus is instead on the story and sharing the simple joy of giving. In the end, if you think that 1c is not a lot to contribute and is unlikely to make much of a difference think again and consider the following idea.

From its origins in Ethiopia, where the main coffee production is still from wild coffee tree forests, coffee consumption has spread globally. Brazil is still by far the largest coffee producer in the world producing on average 28% of the world's total coffee. In 2006 Brazil produced enough coffee to make 216,400,000,000 (216 billion four hundred million) espresso coffees. If we were to calculate across global production then we get a daily global consumption of around 2,117,416,830 cups of coffee - wow. The figures are somewhat hard to track down but let's guess that 40% of the world's coffee is sold and consumed in coffee shops then we would get that 846,966,732 cups are sold commercially each day globally - nearly 900 million. This would equate to about'5,485,714 cups in the US on its own seeing they purchase around 21% of the world's coffee.

If we considered the impact of the coffee industry alone taking up Buy1-Give1, imagine now that for every cup of coffee sold a child in a developing region like Sub-Sahara Africa received clean drinking water from a well and it only costing 1cent to do this. Surely any coffee shop could afford to contribute this amount from the sale of a single cup of coffee. Imagine the different that this one action alone would make in the world.

Transactional giving is the story of the thousand-mile journey starting with that first single step. Digging a well costs a few thousand dollars so it's a big barrier for communities in developing nations. However if you break the cost down it only takes the sale of a cup of coffee to give clean water to a single person for a day1. This is the power of transactional giving. It is like the compound interest of giving - a little turns into a lot very quickly.

So many companies are used to doing things on their own. Doing transactional giving is no different. A company can go out find a cause and start doing Buy One Give One giving. And yet they are missing the point when they do this. Buy1GIVE1 giving is about sharing the joy of giving and not trying to change the world. As soon as you step up and say you are going to change the world then the world will step up and challenge you. Within a heartbeat a company would experience the sharp scrutiny of the media inspecting their every move. And yet when a company steps up and says it is supporting what its customer want and joins with others in its industry to do that in a win-win way, the story is different. When companies choose to join together under a commonly recognised banner/brand they can have a powerful joint effect. The ripple that a single company creates is added to that of another and the ripple grows into a tidal wave that benefits so many. This is the power of giving and doing things together.

Everyone wins with Buy-One-Give-One transaction-based giving. The consumer wins - at no extra cost to themselves they've made a difference to the lives of others through their purchasing choices. The business also wins in so many tangible and intangible ways. And of course the charity partner wins because they are now able to receive small amounts from numerous sources aggregated and paid in a lump sum on a regular basis allowing them to focus on what they do rather than raising funds.

A new start

If you check Wikipedia today you should find that a new definition has been added for BOGO. It is time for a change. A change from focusing on GETTING to focusing on GIVING. The subtlety in the words that we use so often point to a deeper underlying meaning. I added this small addition to Wikipedia, "... an acronym in the marketing industry that stands for Buy One GIVE One."

Simply imagine our world where every time you go and buy something you give something automatically and seamlessly - giving a gift forward to someone in greater need than you. This is the simple joyful magic of transactional giving.

This is the world I choose to be a part of.

Just remember - you don't 'get' giving till you get giving.
