I have introduced you 9 tips to relieve stress, anxiety and depression naturally. You can even find 18 more tips to get away from stress at: http://vkool.com/tips-to-relieve-stress/
1. Meditation
Many people who do not know much about meditation may think that meditation is just twisting their bodies into an uncomfortable sitting position. The fact is, any repetitive activity could be considered meditation. Meditation even includes walking, swimming, knitting , painting, or any other activity that makes you focus calmly.
2. Breathe Deeply
Breathing deeply is one of the most helpful tips to relieve stress, anxiety and depression. If you feel stressed or tension evoked, you should change the way to breathe. Give yourself a 5-minute break from all the things that bother you. Only concentrate on your breathing to get relaxed as relaxation normally starts with concentration on breathing.
3. Decompress
One of the tips to relieve stress, anxiety and depression is to decompress. Place a warm wrap around your neck and shoulders for 10 minutes. During that time, close your eyes, relax your face, neck, chest, and back muscles.
4. Get Active
Any physical activity can help relieve stress. Exercise can enhance the happy hormones named endorphins and other neural elements that motivate the well-being sense.
5. Communicate
Do not wrap yourself in a cocoon when you are stressed. You should reach out to communicate with other people around you such as your beloved family, friends, or neighbors in order to share with them what you are thinking. By making social interactions, you will soon get rid of stress no matter how serious it is.
Social contact is an efficient stress reliever because it creates distractions, provides support, and aids you in getting familiar with ups and downs.
6. Do Yoga
Yoga is a good stress reliever. The postures and controlled-breathing exercises of yoga can bring you a peaceful mind. When you do yoga, you need to follow some physical as well as mental disciplines that can help you manage your anxiety and stress efficiently.
7. Get Adequate Sleep
Sleep well and enough helps your brain and body recharge. Therefore, quality and amount of sleep plays a good part in regulating your emotion, thought, energy level, and other functioning.
8. Eat Right
Eating right is one of the useful tips to relieve stress, anxiety and depression. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables to consume when you get stressed. In addition, you can eat fish which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids to decrease stress signs.
9. Take A Walk
Taking a walk is one of the most outstanding tips to relieve stress, anxiety and depression. Walking can make you breathe deeper, thereby improves blood circulation

The presentation covers the following:
1) An introduction to UX
2) Ethnography, with definitions and examples of 7 ethnographic techniques
3) User-centred design and Design Thinking
4) Examples of UX-led changes made at institutions in the UK and Scandinavia
5) Next Steps - if you'd like to try out UX at your own organisation
The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.

Providing Support To Employers And Working Caregivers 6 14 2010 2Elderplanner
Our “Elder Life Planning for Organizations” program allows non-profit and small eldercare enterprises
to offer a comprehensive eldercare program to employers, banks, membership organizations and faith based communities without the significant capital outlay that would otherwise be required.
Nearly 80 percent of the deposits in local savings banks are owned by those over age 55.
By partnering with experienced eldercare professionals, a bank can build closer relationships with these maturing multi-generational families (aging baby boomers and seniors).
Banks who pay attention to these critical customer segments will not only preserve their customer base but will see a substantial increase in attractive new depositors resulting in improved profitability.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

So in the CA Commercial Council, we want to make sure we are aligned with the CBC. But given the limited resources we have available to us, we are looking towards some of the key principles of the Cisco 3.0 strategy to set our services approach. how do we create a unique Cisco experience and build a recipe, and scale it to the millions of customers and tens of thousands of partners is very important We need to find ways to understand both what our commercial customers want from a services perspective and how they want service delivered to meet their business needs. We know that they tend to look to their partners first when it comes to service so any service model needs to incorporate our partners in ways we may not have considered in the past. To do these things, we need to move away from people – driven sales and delivery models and develop simple, scalable approaches to delivering services further into the commercial market
