STRESS!

Well, the stress is when one person feel that the feel unable to comply with all requirements of routine. This happens because the amount of activities is major than the time of the person and also no have free time for recreation.
The stress is one disease of the century 21 that affects to all world. My experience as a student has not escaped the stress, often must be met many responsibilities: work, tests, competitions, exams... only think is stressful.
Often the stress affects the sleep: do not sleep to meet resposabilities or does not sleep because you can not sleep. The solution is have one time of break or find a hobby, but with rigid schedules, long hours and many demands it is almost impossible.
Another important factor is the environment, a place quiet with nature help to decrease the stress levels, then Santiago not helpful.
Me for decrease the stress levels travel the weekend to my homeland: San Felipe, but this these last weeks has not fared much, I think that need a hobby, for example go to the stadium to support my favorite team, and release tension so... another option is to get together with friends to spend time, the problem is that there is no time to do, not exist in my time no prescencial.
Stress does not live a good quality of life

Huge Commonwealth Games cock-up leads to condoms blocking drains


In Delhi, was celebrating the “Commonwealth Games”, from 1992 that Barcelona Olympics is customary to give prophylactics to athletes. The problem is that condoms blocking the pipes of athletes' village, because they thrown the condoms to toilet.

Games organizers working round the clock for clear the pipes that were blocks for the use of more than 7,000 athletes and officials.

The president of the Commonwealth Games Federation, Mike Fennell, said that is very positive, because “it shows that there is use of condoms” also adds “Athletes are being responsible” The spokesperson said: “We are promoting safe sex.”

Some swimmers presented gastrocolic problems and diarrhoea, Fennell said that is urgent ordered into whether contaminated water, because is responsible for 15 swimmers becoming sick. The blocking of the pipes can produce the contamination.

The spokeswoman said that water is not problem, because no all swimmers to sick, “maybe this group went out to eat something somewhere.”

The spokesman of other countries said that athletes of all disciplines, but that no had to stop training.

The preparations of the 19th Commonwealth Games is chaotic, had problems in the transport, technical malfunctions and problems whit foot, this give a negative image. All these problems suggest of a boycott of the games, and have cost between £3bn-£6bn.

The distribution of free condoms in the last games is:
Sydney Olympics in 2000 was 90,000 free condoms.
Athens Olympics in 2004 was 130,000 free prophylactics
In Beijing Games in 2008 and the Vancouver winter Olympics in February this year was provide 100,000 condoms.
In this games, in only 10 days will have provided more 4,000 condoms free to athletes.

My opinion is that must educate to people disposal the condoms, these can’t throw in the toilet by the problem that happened in this news, the initiative of promote the prophylactics is very good, but must explain how they are used properly and well as eliminate.

SICKO

Sicko is a documentary of Michael Moore. In the beginning is shocking to see how a man should sutured a wound of your knee, because he does can't pay for the procedure, and comment that so health system is normal.


Busch appears in the documentary says: "Many very good doctors are leaving the business. Many OB-GYNs are not able to practice their love with women all over the country" after these words people applaud.


The film show the system of USA that is responsibility of private, this causes many people remain outside the system because they can’t pay for their health, sometimes preferring to drag the health problem for life, for example, the film show a cases of mutilation of the fingers of one hand, the protagonist of the accident by not having enough money to replant your fingers, must live with his mutilated hand all his life as an example of badly health system.


Our health system is mixed, the government cares for people who can not pay for health, there is a common fund (FONASA) where discounting to all worker a percentage of salary (7%) for pay the health public.


The system has problems because the user demand is greater than the number of health professionals; this is evident in winter by the increase in respiratory illnesses for example.


The system is not perfect, but tries not to leave anyone out, now exist the AUGE GES, is a program of government that ensuring and monitoring the treatment of certain pathologies.


The activity was good, the topic is interesting, but it is exhausting to watch a documentary and sustain attention...

Fractious

According to the background described above, the evidence is sufficient for the responsibilities of the facts, call the butterfly effect, but there is no person who can say he is innocent or has not done anything, sooner or later we all pay our share social, if everything is as is, because of ourselves as we are all participants in this circus called life. We heard these words of the last rapporteur, but no one listened, the cell was the last surviving this cancer that contaminated all, this tissue known as a society reached a point beyond repair, the damage was chronic.
After all, the only fight against this is chemotherapy, but your struggles to find a definitive cure, such as the use of stem cells, but the big question is: do we have stem cells within our society already contaminated?, Because in The search of survivors only found people already differentiated, then science should take another course: seeking a cure in differentiated cells, to use to cells that for some reason is reluctant to lose their lineage, the revolutionaries. In a crazy world, it's crazy to be sane, but crazy people are the ones who see this world differently, ie, the only ones who can even think to change the course of history. Course, is not at all easy to take the reins of social change without being called a heretic, crazy, lunatic, or any other adjective. The differentiated cells that for some reason still unpolluted, were necessary to cure the body, the system would recover their homeostasis to achieve development, but there was a big mistake ... The system expected to reach our healthy cells on their own to recruit in this crusade, but for these cells need that approach someone to say "we need you," as this did not occur, the cells are depressed enough, your metabolism down to almost zero, the immune system when I saw these cells, looked down on because they did not produce as much. Most depressions are when we begin to compare with others and we realize that we are different, or that we are not as they want us to be, but there is nothing wrong and that all that is needed is a little understanding, tolerance, self esteem and appreciation of others... This tissue will become infected, silently without realizing it, but despite all the advances in knowledge ... we are more stupid every day.

Syndrome blank page: the gateway to another world

This begins with the white page syndrome, looking at forms of the paper (in this case the monitor) and try to see what they disclose. I'm not who writes, is the paper which reveals to the pen what it have...
Like all ritual, have procedures: a long period of contemplation, a period of writing without stopping and reverence.
Contemplation: In this stage consists to look with face of fool of the page, view the page until that is no longer only blank, appear fine lines and stains that gradually take meaning, and will be pictures, words, songs, theses, reports, books-keeping, works of art. Write as if the world were to end: This part uses a great concentration; the idea is not to lose the difficult relationship that forms in the contemplative stage. Here translates what the white paper said to a language understandable to all, in my case is usually Spanish. Reverence: At this stage, is made known to others the translation of the page, put in discussion, is shown to the entire new son who has brought this world. Most mortals do to seek admiration, support, or simply for their work is valued and accepted by peers. This is a tribute to the paper blank, but usually the author is who takes credit of the translation and makes appropriations of the honor, he forgets that the paper is who has "spoken" and says that is only a simple holder, at this moment the name of the reverence is publication.
Many have over time forgotten this fact, and therefore the world is currently so, we try to do us great and famous with topics that have been revealed, and we not give the truths credit to who deserves it: paper.

Education and prevention, the challenge of the midwife

Education and prevention is a very important issue today, but I want to emphasize on this occasion in his innovative vision. The old model of care raised heal/heal the symptoms to restore health. This new model it does is try to maintain health, to intervene before the filing of a pathology, promote healthy lifestyles, to reach an optimal situation where we should not deal with pathologies (only the strictly unavoidable.)
In this new model, there is still much to do, in my future professional role, I can take the following steps:
1 inform users about the dangers of certain behaviors that present at the time of consultation (smoking, alcoholism, etc)
2 Empowering the users to be trained as instructors, this will cause a change in the family as the head of household to take measures to promote a healthy lifestyle.
3 Interventions in schools on sex education, since this is a topic a bit weak and should be strengthened.
4 Increase the budget for television advertising. Currently the advertising that calls an unhealthy lifestyle in a long time than paid advertising by the health system
5 Conduct workshops free assistance on specific pathologies that affect a community group (for example: cancer, AIDS, etc)
There is still much to do in this area, which is why the new generation of professionals have incorporated this model into their formation, depends on us as a new generation gradually increase the acceptance of this model.
We have big challenges, not to lower the encourage, in our hands is the future!
