Classroom Technology Vs. Mobility/portability By: Kevin Hogan | - Is your district trying to determine the best way to get a computer into every student's hands? Are you deciding between netbooks and tablets? And what about thin-client computing? Each option has plenty of pluses and a few negatives. Read on to see how other technology directors figured out the best path for their schools.
Swine Flu - Why I'd Rather Take Probiotics Than A Vaccine By: Jean Shaw | - Since we first became aware of Swine Flu earlier this year, the subject has been making the headlines on and off. We get so many mixed messages it's hard to decide whether it's a major issue or not.
However, with more confirmed cases reported and more people being hospitalised, it was inevitable someone would soon die and be the first "victim of Swine Flu" outside of the Americas. Sadly in UK it was a lady who already had underlying health issues and had earlier given birth to a ... Tags:Jean Shaw, probiotics for health, certified organic probiotics, quality probiotic bacteria
Chickenpox Added To The Mmr - Surely That's Going Too Far Isn't It? By: Jean Shaw | - My youngest son has autism. He developed it after his MMR vaccination and whilst I don't believe it was the sole cause for his lifelong disability, I am personally convinced it was a contributory factor.The main cause, I believe, was mercury.
The MMR however is a contentious issue. Many parents refuse to allow their children to have it. They believe, (rightly or wrongly), that to give three live viruses simultaneously to their young offspring whilst their immune systems are s ...

Dogs And What They Can Teach You By: Jean Shaw | - I have always been very busy, and apart from briefly having a rabbit and several tropical fish, I've never actually had any domestic pets. Apart from the fact my autistic son is terrified of animals which invade his space without being invited, I personally find them too much of a tie.
If you want to anywhere the majority need quite a bit of looking after. Most, though not all require exercise, are renowned for losing their hair and smell. However, I know many people who consider ... Tags:dogs as pets, what dogs can teach you,
Fitness, Health And Why "we" Need A Rowing Machine By: Jean Shaw | - "We" have just bought a rowing machine. It's one of these big fancy ones you find in a gym. My husband decided "we" needed one as he watched me struggle into my jeans.
Anyway I bid for a second hand rowing machine on e-bay and was frustratingly out bid in the last 40 seconds. However, the women who actually won the thing, decided to pull out of the sale because she was "too tired" to go and collect it.
The event wasn't so much a party as a lunch to raise awareness of Breast Cancer. The proceeds went to support McMillan Cancer Care Nurses and very successful it was too.
The local flower arranging society gave a demonstration of their skills and the results were raffled off in a draw. There were home made cakes, jams and chutneys to make the Women's ... Tags:Cancer, advice concerning avoiding and dealing with cancer
Lack Of Exercise - Sleep Walking To Obesity By: Jean Shaw | - I have to admit I've put on a considerable amount of weight over the past year and I know why. It's not because I've been eating more, but rather exercising less.
I've been writing another book and my research has had me virtually glued to the chair in front of the computer and only my brain and fingers have been getting a workout.
Autism And Disability - Why Little Things Can Mean A Lot By: Jean Shaw | - I have a son who developed autism just after his first birthday and I wouldn't describe my life since as being easy. However, today I was reminded just how lucky I am. Through various non invasive interventions, endless patience and persistence, my son has developed into a nice young man who I can now take most places without wishing the ground would open up and swallow me.
You see I have an autistic son and at the weekend we attended a Festival of Inclusion. It was a wonderful opportunity for people with disabilities to have fun, make friends and socialise.
Open to the general public, there were bands, entertainers, crafts, workshops, games, therapies and bingo. However, this bingo had a special twist.
Weight Gain And The Summer Dilemma By: Jean Shaw | - Weight and the weather have one thing in common -inconsistency. I've yet to find anyone who is content with either. People are either too fat, too thin, too hot or too cold.
I've always been "cuddly" and at various times in my life have been called "pudding face" and "chubb" (amongst other things). Oddly enough, however, I always found these terms endearing although now they might be considered as verbal abuse. It's a sad reflection on how times have changed.
Practically every magazine will have something about it somewhere and I've yet to meet a single female who is content with her size, shape or appearance. No matter how confident they may be there's always something they'd like to change and they don't mind discussing it
I have what is known as CSR - central serious retinitus, which basically means fluid leaks into the back of my eyes and forms blisters making it difficult to see.
Water, Water Everywhere But How Much Should We Drink? By: Jean Shaw | - Before I suffered mercury toxicity and had to de-tox I was not a lover of water. I preferred mine mixed with tea or coffee. However, now I really appreciate its value.
For thousands of people in UK the last few weeks have been a nightmare. Whilst the British are often ridiculed for our conversations about the weather we could be forgiven for discussing the unusually high levels of rainfall experienced this July.
Leptospirosis (weil's Disease) And Why You Should Never Drink From Cans By: Jean Shaw | - I am always annoying my family by insisting they don't drink from cans or bottles. Unless I "nag" them when we are out they will happily just purchase one from a shop somewhere and raise it to their mouths.
Maybe they feel drinking from a straw or glass isn't macho or cool. At home they have no such qualms and always use glasses, usually so many I complain about the washing up.
Autism - One Reason I Wish Time Would Stand Still By: Jean Shaw | - On the television the other morning someone described autism as a "living nightmare". I'm not sure I'd personally go that far yet but it certainly is a major concern - at least for the parents.
My son is autistic and is eighteen. Until now he has been very lucky. He has been able to access support via childrens' services, but I realise many people aren't as fortunate. I've heard numerous tales of parents who've had to really fight for what little help they've had and many get ... Tags:autism, autistic adults, opportunities for autistic adults,
Mmr, Autism, And Who Should Really Be On Trial By: Jean Shaw | - Unless you have been living on a different planet for the past ten years or so you will have heard of autism and the possible connection with the MMR vaccine. It's a debate, which won't go away.
Thousands of parents, myself included, are convinced our children were fine until given the triple measles, mumps and rubella injection.
Whilst we all agree it doesn't affect everyone, we all know deep down it was the reason our normally developing children took a totally d ... Tags:autism and MMR, Andrew Wakefield and MMR,
Goodbye Wi-fi By: Jean Shaw | - Until recently whenever I used my computer I felt really "weird".
I'd get a pain in my left temple and the left side of my face would burn. My lips and tongue would tingle, I'd get pins and needles in my toes and fingers, my chest would feel tight as though I couldn't breathe properly and I'd feel sick and disorientated. Also I felt the blood was rushing round my body much too fast.
He never sleeps or at least not for any length of time and she is exhausted.
Over the years sleep deprivation has been a real problem and the only time she gets any rest is when he goes to respite care. Even then she admits to spending the whole of her waking hours thinking and worrying about him.
Quality time is something neither she nor any of the other family members get to enjoy and the strain is beginning to show.< ... Tags:adults with autism, autistic adults,

Snoring - Why It Can Seriously Damage Your Health By: Jean Shaw | - Snoring is a common problem. It occurs when the flap of muscular tissue at the back of the throat known as the soft palate vibrates irregularly.
It affects one's ability to breathe through the nose and can be brought on by various factors such as diet, your breathing, stress levels, and the physical environment.
At a party last night I was told by a few people I looked considerably younger than I actually am and I don't think they were all drunk at the time either.
This came as a pleasant observation to me as over the years I have certainly not been kind to my skin.
Well that's what's happened to me with my attempts at internet marketing.
Of course I'm not talking about buses but information.

It's either rehashed versions of what's already gone before, get-rich-quick schemes, or not explicit enou ... Tags:financial freedom with internet marketing, Lisa Diane, 6M Profit System
I am outside and the sun is shining beautifully but I'm sitting in the shade. As much as I'd like to feel the heat of the sun on my exposed limbs my days of sunbathing have gone - doctors orders!

Using Water Fountains As Memorials By: Elizabeth Jean | - Much like statue, water fountains are also used to commemorate an individual's memorable existence or notable achievement. While fountains are often constructed of some kind of statuary, obviously the difference lies in the addition of falling water. The sound of falling water brings on the feeling of peace and the sight of it reflection. Adding water to a solid form instantly changes a simple object into a tangible and living thing. Unlike a statue (no matter how elaborate the statue is in itse ... Tags:garden fountains, wall fountains, water fountains, outdoor fountains, indoor fountains
Autism, Probiotics And An Ideal World By: Jean Shaw | - In an ideal world my son would be voicing his opinions, making decisions, going out with his friends, learning to drive, furthering his education, managing his finances and hopefully turning into a well adjusted, sociable young adult. However, this is not an ideal world.
My son has autism.
He is almost eighteen years old and I wonder, like all mothers, what the future holds for him.
It seems head lice affect one in five children, mostly girls and they are on the increase. Now, fortunately it's not something either of my children have ever suffered from, but I know many people who have.
Organic- Is It A Lifestyle Or Health Choice? By: Jean Shaw | - On the news this morning there was a debate about whether organic produce is any safer than the modern technology used on today's inorganic farms.
It was claimed if you buy local, fresh produce from the farmers markets it would have the same taste and flavour as the mostly imported organic produce found in our supermarkets.
It was agreed organic produce is more expensive than inorganic and farmers require much more land to produce their crops, so the question was ... Tags:toxins and health, organic lifestyle and health
Autism - A Quick Insight By: Jean Shaw | - My son is autistic and NO, that doesn't mean he is exceptionally talented at maths, music or art. Those remarkable people are autistic savants - same problem just different.
That's the problem with autism - everyone is different!
When Jodi was diagnosed I didn't know of anyone with autism and most people I spoke to had either never heard of it, or had seen Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Their knowledge was therefore as limited as mine.
Are Unregulated Synthetic Chemicals Making You Ill? By: Jean Shaw | - My husband recently had a malignant rodent ulcer removed from his back and I had a breast cancer scare. We are both fine but it was an awful experience waiting for the results of the biopsy.
In the last few years I have lost several friends and family members to Cancer. I know of many others who are battling it and are currently in remission.
So What Toxic Chemicals Did You Use Today? By: Jean Shaw | - I'm not a lover of Christmas for reasons I'll go into in another article. However, I used to appreciate all the toiletries I generally received as presents.
I also used to like the after Christmas and New Year sales when everything was reduced and there were some real bargains to be had. Gift boxes containing a variety of "smellies" were often dramatically reduced in price and often found their way into my shopping basket.
Toxic Chemicals - Why I'll Never Be Like My Grandma By: Jean Shaw | - I've just been to visit my grandma. She's ninety two years old and is a remarkable woman. I aspire to be like her but there's no doubt in my mind I never will.
I'm usually an optimist but I know my constitution is not as strong as hers and over the years I've abused my body in a way she never has.
Now don't misunderstand here. I've never smoked or taken non prescription drugs. I rarely ever drink, have never had a tattoo and only my ear lobes have been pierced. I ... Tags:toxic synthetic chemicals
Skin Beauty - But At What Cost? By: Jean Shaw | - I've just watched an incredible documentary about volunteer surgeons, nurses and anaesthetists.
Operating on children from developing countries with horribly disfigured faces, these wonderful people selflessly gave their time to literally transform lives. Children for whom tumours and disfigurement had led to them being bullied, abused, stoned, ostracized and excluded were given the confidence to look forward to a better future.
Toxic Chemicals - What Are We Doing To Our Kids? By: Jean Shaw | - I was born in the late fifties. In those days it was safe to leave your doors unlocked, leave your bike unattended, play out in the street and talk and accept lifts from strangers.
It was also a time of RESPECT especially towards parents and anyone older.
If we were told to come in at a certain time, we did so. If we were playing ball and it accidentally went into someone's garden, we went to the door, apologised and politely requested its return. If the owner r ... Tags:toxic synthetic chemicals
Cows Milk - Even Cows Don't Drink It By: Jean Shaw | - Today on the BBC news the issue of many children being allergic to cows milk was discussed. I actually know something about that so thought I'd share it with you.
You see, I have an autistic son and he is allergic to casein. For those of you who don't know it's the protein found in dairy products.
Many people suffer from symptoms which are milk related but suggesting they remove cows milk from their diet is often met with shock, horror and disbelief. After all dairy ... Tags:cows milk and allergies, casein in milk
Why Organics Are No Longer An Option By: Jean Shaw | - Everyday we are exposed to numerous pollutants and you would have to be incredibly deluded not to make some association between modern society and ill health.
As a nation we are better fed than we have ever been and yet when it comes to vitamins and minerals we are incredibly malnourished. Our over farmed soils are depleted of natural nutrients and the widespread use of pesticides, insecticides and fertilisers as well as airborne industrial pollutants makes our crops a hazard to ...

Why Organics Are My Healthy Choice By: Jean Shaw | - Until relatively recently the only thing I knew about organic products was that they were expensive in comparison to the items in the non-organic sector. I never bought them or understood their value in terms of nutrition and safety.
Infact, until relatively recently I never thought much about anything I ate, or the products I used on my body or in myhome. I just assumed if food looked appetising or a product was on sale in my supermarket or drug store then it must be safe. Sil ... Tags:organic cosmetics, certified organic,
Why You Need To Read The Labels On Cosmetics And Skin Care Products ( Part 2) By: Jean Shaw | - Despite the known dangers associated with many of the ingredients in cosmetics, skin care and personal care products, some manufacturers continue to use them. This is because they are inexpensive and can be used to produce items that can be marketed successfully at huge profits. Health doesn't appear to be an issue.
You can of course check the safety data of products as Federal regulations require ingredients to be listed on labels in descending order by quantity. Usually if yo ... Tags:safe cosmetics and skin care, cosmetic ingredients
Why You Need To Read The Labels On Cosmetics And Skin Care Products ( Part 1) By: Jean Shaw | - Chemicals and toxins are everywhere and often we don't realise it. Until I suffered from mercury poisoning causedby my dental amalgam fillings I had no idea the second most toxic substance on the planet was inside my mouth!
That shocking revelation led me to investigate further why my son has autism and I am convinced it is due to the toxic preservatives used in childhood vaccines. What insanity allows people to knowingly inject thimerosal (a mercury derivative), aluminium and f ... Tags:synthetic chemicals in cosmetics, skin care,
Cancer - The Chemical Connection By: Jean Shaw | - Everyday we are exposed to numerous pollutants and you would have to be incredibly deluded not to make some association between modern society and ill health.
"You have cancer" must be one of the most frightening phrases a person can hear and thankfully my recent scare proved benign. However, with 1 in 2 of all men and 1 in 3 of all women developing some form of cancer in their lifetime it's something many will experience. In 1901 it was 1 in 8000.
Probiotics, The Mini Miracle By: Jean Shaw | - Okay, I realise it's not the type of subject you might discuss around the dinner table but how much do you know about bacteria? Not a lot I'll bet. I didn't either until recently.
I always thought they were dirty nasty things you didn't want. After all I was always reading anti-bacterial this and that or receiving antibiotics for bacterial infections. I just hadn't realised there were two types - the good ones (probiotics) and the bad ones (pathogens). Now I know better.
My Autistic Son Loves Probiotics By: Jean Shaw | - My son is seventeen and autistic. Until VERY recently he would never eat fruit or vegetables. He would hold, squeeze and smell them. On rare occasions they would even get as far as his lips but that was as far as it would go.
He was also on a gluten and casein free diet because of his inability to break down the proteins in wheat and dairy products. Then I discovered a probiotic superfood.
Probiotics comes from the Greek "for life" and these days the word is ass ... Tags:probiotics, bacteria, autism
Probiotics, Why Your Health Depends On Them By: Jean Shaw | - How often have you heard the expression "You are what you eat"? Of course most people will assume that refers to weight but it also applies to how healthy you are. There's no question health is determined at the dinner table but according to the renowned Bacteriologist, Professor Ilya Mechnikov "death begins in the colon".
Let me explain.
The Autistic Child - Could It Be Mercury? By: Jean Shaw | - In 1993 my son was four years old and received a diagnosis of autism. It was probably the worst day of my life.
At the time autism was quite rare. I couldn't find anyone in my local area who had it and most people had never heard of it. Those that had automatically thought of Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. The statistics then were 4 out of 10,000 - the majority of whom were boys.
Mercury - Can You Trust Your Dentist? By: Jean Shaw | - My grandmother is 92 years old and has a fantastic memory. She cooks herself a meal every day - meat and fresh vegetables. Rarely, if ever, does she have prepacked processed food. She also has false teeth.
I wish I had false teeth.
In my grandmother's day people didn't have fillings if they had toothache. Instead their teeth were extracted, usually at home and yes, they did tie a piece of string to the door knob. For their twenty first birthday those whose fam ... Tags:dental mercury poisoning, dental amalgam, mercury fillings
For the majority of people seaweed conjures up an image of a smelly, green or brown, unpalatable tough weed washed up on a shoreline somewhere. Alternatively, it could be that dried stuff you get in sushi bars or Japanese and Chinese restaurants. Very few people realise the health benefits of seaweed and just how versatile it really is.
Certified Organic Cosmetics - The Healthy Option By: Jean Shaw | - If you are like most people, the use of cosmetics and personal care products is an everyday affair. We touch up our faces with make-up, use face cream and other skin improvement products.
We have learnt to trust the corporations that provide health and beauty products because most governments dictate the processes that protect people from harmful substances - don't they?
Unfortunately this assumption is only half correct.
And Why Didn't You Lose Weight This Week? By: Jean Shaw | - I've just attended my first slimming class. I went along with my mother who's a veteran. She's been a yo-yo dieter for the past thirty years and has tried just about every diet going - at least for a while.
People used to believe if you consumed less calories thanyour body needed then you would lose weight but now the focus appears to have shifted somewhat.
