This document discusses the benefits of silence based on teachings from ancient Sanskrit texts. It provides several reasons why silence is recommended during certain activities like defecation, urination, sexual intercourse, bleeding, cleaning teeth, and eating. Silence allows one to focus on internal processes and avoid external distractions. It can also help maintain a calm atmosphere. More broadly, learning to be silent helps achieve a state of inner peace and harmony while also observing the constant interplay of thoughts and connections to the universe. Silence has practical benefits too, as inappropriate speech can lead to problems while ability to remain silent is extremely advantageous.
Next Generation Integrated Treasury and Trading for Energy and Commodity Comp...CTRM Center
Energy producers, traders and consumers today face a challenging trading environment with more regulatory oversight, lower prices, increasing costs and almost constant volatility. As a result forward thinking energy companies are already adopting a more closely integrated treasury and trading approach, a potentially overlooked opportunity by many. Typically, trading and treasury are separate areas of business with limited or no integration between them. The traders work to sell commodities at the best price or to profit from trading, while the treasury function with its concern over available cash, navigating future investments and doing so in the right currency and at the right location, has a range of responsibilities, including FX and IR hedging, broader credit management, debt and capital management and more. Usually, the treasury department gets a fixed time view of trading positions to work with and can miss opportunities to protect profits or control costs as a result as these exposures change rapidly. Even large oil and gas majors have experienced the situation where trading has a good month but FX rates moved against them to give an entirely different result. Despite believing that they were hedged, FX markets went against the company leaving it with significantly eroded traded profits.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
These simplified slides by Dr. Sidra Arshad present an overview of the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract.
Learning objectives:
1. Enlist the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract
2. Briefly explain how these functions are carried out
3. Discuss the significance of dead space
4. Differentiate between minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation
5. Describe the cough and sneeze reflexes
Study Resources:
1. Chapter 39, Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology, 14th edition
2. Chapter 34, Ganong’s Review of Medical Physiology, 26th edition
3. Chapter 17, Human Physiology by Lauralee Sherwood, 9th edition
4. Non-respiratory functions of the lungs https://academic.oup.com/bjaed/article/13/3/98/278874
2. It is interesting to see how speech
reflects the mind of a person and in
turn how regulation of the process of
speech has beneficial influence on
mind!
One of the shlokas (verses in Sanskrut)
says,
3. PAPENAIVA NRUNAANAM
VAANEE BHAVET
KATUKABHASHINEE
DAINYA MAATSARYA
PARAMAA
SHUBHAASHUBHAVIVARJITA
Meaning:
It is because of diseased mind with
utmost lowliness and jealousy that the
speech becomes scalding with no
concern whatsoever for about the
welfare or otherwise of the listener.
In Geeta it is said,
4. ANUDVEGAKARAM VAAKYAM
SAYAM PRIYA HITAN CHA YAT
SVAADHYAAYAABHYASAN
CHAIVA VANGMAYM TAPA
UCCHYATE
GEETA 17.15
Meaning:
Speech which does not humiliate and
thereby hurt the listener is true and
pleasant and beneficial; is really the
product of penance involving the entire
neurophysiological and neuromuscular
processes of speech and articulation
respectively.
5. There is another shloka which
advocates silence during certain
physiological acts.
UTSARGE MAITHUNE CHAIVA
PRASTRAVE DANTADHAAVNE
SHRAADDHE BHOJANAKALE
CHA
SHATSU MAUNAM
SAMAACHARET
Meaning:
During defecation, urination, removal
of secretions (dirt) of nose, skin, ear
and eyes, during sexual intercourse,
6. during bleeding, cleaning of teeth,
during SHRAADDHA (ritual
performed to commemorate pay
homage to the forefathers, on the
occasion their death anniversary) and
while eating food one should observe
silence i.e. speechlessness.
During defecation usually there is
breath holding and contraction of
abdominal muscles. This is essential
for building adequate pressure in the
abdomen so as to move the feces
towards anus. Due to talking the breath
holding ceases and the abdominal
7. muscles also relax and distraction is
caused creating difficulty in
defecation.
Urination also involves increase in
pressure in the abdomen and also in
the urinary bladder. Talking can alter
these pressures and hence the urinary
flow can be disturbed.
When we are removing the secretions
from nose [respiratory secretions],
skin, ears and eyes we should be
careful to remove the dirt carefully so
as to avoid trauma to theses structures
8. In general, all the excretory processes,
viz. defecation, urination, respiratory
secretions, sweating, secretions in the
ear and eye involve autonomic nervous
activity linked with reticular formation
in the brain. Talking can alter
respiration, activity of reticular
formation, and activity of mind,
autonomic nervous activity, endocrine
and metabolic activity and also the
excretory activity.
Sexual intercourse invariably involves
autonomic activity and hence it is
9. strongly recommended that silence is
observed during sexual intercourse. It
is important because the intensity of
the emotional integration and depth of
ecstasy are apparently hindered due to
talking during sexual intercourse.
Bleeding can either be physiological
bleeding as in case of menstrual
bleeding or trauma [injury].
The process of bleeding and arrest of
bleeding are tremendously influenced
by cardiovascular activity, which in
turn is influenced by autonomic
10. nervous activity. Hence talking that
disturbs autonomic activity is
recommended to be avoided.
During cleaning of the teeth there is a
prayerful attitude with respect to the
plants or herbs used in the process. So
talking is avoided. But from practical
point of view, talking during cleaning
of teeth and gums can cause
inadvertent biting of fingers or injury
to the oral cavity.
During SHRAADDHA silence is
probably advised solely for
11. maintaining pious atmosphere, which
is understandable.
During eating the silence advised to
avoid vulgar and even mundane
thoughts being articulated [thereby
hindering the sanctity of the eating] on
the one hand and to avoid accidental
regurgitation of food in the trachea on
the other.
It can be seen how thoughtful our
ancestors were; with respect to
understanding of life! It has to be
appreciated these are relatively
12. superficial aspects of keeping silence.
There may be more explanations as
well.
Learning to keep silence in terms of
avoiding talk is a very preliminary
process of achieving real silence,
which is called KARMANI AKARMA
in Geeta [4.18], and which is full of
peace and activity. It is very real and
deepest personal experience and also
the cosmic phenomenon that links one
with the universe.
14. If we keep quiet for sometime, then we
can easily observe the turbulence of
thoughts, which keep on crowding our
minds. This observation tells us that
the thoughts are neither our creation
nor are restricted to our body. They are
the results of the interactions between
cosmos and us and illustrate the
continuity between an individual and
the universe.
Keeping silence has a humorous and
practical implication also.
15. AATMANO MUKHADOSHENA
BADHYANTE SHUKA SAARIKA
BAKASTATRA NA BDHYANTE
MAUNAM SARVAARTHA
SAADHANAM
Meaning:
Inappropriate [too long, too harsh,
stupid, meaningless, too enticing]
speech is a cause of slavery,
imprisonment or other type of losses.
Ability to remain silent is extremely
beneficial. This is clear from the
examples of SAARIKA and parrot that
are caught and kept in cage whereas
crane is left free! Hence while
16. negotiating in business or in politics or
even playing cards, silence can play a
pivotal role!
