Many years ago, children who had good manners kept quiet if their parents were talking with other persons. Today, well-mannered children have more freedom. Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other place. Suppose you are a visitor in the prefix = st1 /landofMongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud "burp" after you finish eating. Burping will show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say, "Excuse me, please." In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia, it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their back on others while they eat. What are good manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you're polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia. You should walk behind the tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into them. The people will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no. Which of the following sentences is not true according to the passage?

politeness is the practical application of good manners or etiquette so as not to offend others and to put them at ease. it is a culturally defined phenomenon, and therefore what is considered polite in one culture can sometimes be quite rude or simply eccentric in another cultural context. while the goal of politeness is to refrain from behaving in an offensive way so as not to offend others, and to make all people feel relaxed and comfortable with one another, these culturally defined standards at times may be broken within the context of personal boundaries – this is known as positive politeness. = = types = = anthropologists penelope brown and stephen levinson identified four kinds of politeness, deriving from erving goffman's concept of face : negative politeness is the act of making a request less infringing, such as " if you don't mind... " or " if it isn't too much trouble... " ; respects a person's right to act freely. this is a variety of deference. there is a greater use of indirect speech acts. it is also considered a part of being assertive. non - assertive politeness is when a person refrains from making a comment or asserting their beliefs during a discussion so as to remain polite to others present. it is also when a person goes along with a decision made by someone else so as not to appear impolite, essentially following general social norms. assertive politeness can be when a person offers their opinion in a positive and constructive way to be assistive and helpful during an interaction, or refrains from purporting to agree with something they do not actually agree with in a way that does not offend others. positive politeness seeks to establish a positive relationship between parties, and it respects a person's need to be liked and understood. this standard of politeness is determined by personal boundaries, and often violates etiquette norms in letter. direct speech acts, swearing and flouting grice's maxims can be considered aspects of positive politeness because : they show an awareness that the relationship is strong enough to cope with what would normally be considered impolite ( in the popular understanding of the term ) ; they articulate an awareness of the other person's values, which fulfills the person's desire to be accepted. they convey a natural, relaxed, casual setting. some cultures, groups, and individuals prefer some ideals of politeness over the other. in this way

I hate traveling by underground in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those _ along to everything and everyone they touch. In order to help the students remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don't cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out, We say "God bless you" when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say "Gesundheit". That means "Good health to you." Both expressions are said that if you didn't cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins of these expressions and it encourage them to put the advice to use more often. According to the article, the writer would like the kids _ .

infection in childcare is the spread of infection during childcare, typically because of contact among children in daycare or school. this happens when groups of children meet in a childcare environment, and there any individual with an infectious disease may spread it to the entire group. commonly spread diseases include influenza - like illness and enteric illnesses, such as diarrhea among babies using diapers. it is uncertain how these diseases spread, but hand washing reduces some risk of transmission and increasing hygiene in other ways also reduces risk of infection. due to social pressure, parents of sick children in childcare may be willing to give unnecessary medical care to their children when advised to do so by childcare workers and even if it is against the advice of health care providers. in particular, children in childcare are more likely to be given antibiotics than children outside of childcare. = = mechanism of transmission = = the presumption behind the idea of a " childcare infection " is that a place in which many children come into contact with each other can be a focus of infection, which is a place where infections are able to spread from person to person. flu and respiratory tract infection are lessened in groups which use frequent hand washing, but the actual pathway through which the diseases spread is unclear except for the fact that hand washing disrupts disease transmission. diseases related to the human gastrointestinal tract, like diarrhea or other enteric illness, often spread through the fecal - oral route and are especially common in places where children have not completed toilet training. diapers, confined spaces for changing diapers, and the unhygienic habits of children contribute to the spread of these infections. bacterial infections most often spread through person to person contact, while eating food, or through the presence of animals. it is difficult to determine how viral agents causing enteric illness spread. reviews of helicobacter pylori have been unable to determine how it spreads during childcare, but have confirmed that it does easily spread in childcare environments, and that it is difficult to make recommendations for preventing it. = = epidemiology = = childcare infection is a public health concern because it harms the health of individual children and the infections which children get during childcare also may be spread within their homes and communities away from the childcare. generally, children who attend childcare are 2 - 3 times more likely to acquire an infection than children who do not receive such services. = = prevention = = infection happens because of individuals bringing infections into

acquired characteristic. = = = eye color = = = it is fairly common for mammalian eyes to change color in the first years of life. this happens, with human infants and kittens being some well - known examples, because the eyes of the baby, just like the rest of its body, are still developing. this change can be as simple as blue to brown, or can involve multiple color changes in which neither the child's parents nor his / her doctors know when the changes will stop and what the final eye color will be. changes in eye color signal changes in the arrangement and concentration of pigment in the iris, which is an example of structural color. even though this change happens after birth, it is strictly as result of genes. while changes in eye appearance ( and function, and structure ) that occur because of acquired characteristics like injury, illness, old age, or malnutrition are definitely acquired characteristics, the infantile color change as described above is usually considered inherited. = = = certain genetic conditions = = = when diseases are caused by environmental influences, such as iodine deficiency or lead poisoning, their resultant symptoms are unequivocally agreed to be acquired characteristics. however, it is debatable whether changes in bodily functions due to disorders that are partly or wholly genetic in origin are actually " acquired ". wholly genetic disorders, such as huntingtons, are inherited from parents'genes and are present before birth but the symptoms that develop after birth are delayed manifestations of the inherited trait. disorders that are partially genetic, such as als and allergies, mean the organism has inherited a predisposition to develop a certain condition but that inherited increased likelihood can be reduced or further increased depending on acquired characteristics of the organism. = = = de novo mutations = = = new mutations, ( often somatic, spontaneous and sporadic ), not inherited from either parent are called de novo mutations. the consensus on whether certain prenatal spontaneous mutations and genetic disorders that occur as a result of meiotic and chromosome errors or during cell division after conception, like cystic fibrosis and down syndrome, are considered to be acquired or inherited is unclear. mutations and meiotic errors can be considered inherited since the organism is born with them in its genes, but they can also be seen as prenatal acquired characteristics since they are not actually inherited from its parents. with de novo mutations and division errors, the relationship between the offspring's altered genes and gene inheritance from the parents is technically spurious. these genetic errors can affect the mind

Telemedicine is the name for when doctors give advice to patients by telephone or the Internet, or when health care providers in rural areas connect with specialists in big cities. Telemedicine has existed for a long time, but the rise of smart phones, tablets and webcam-equipped computers is raising telemedicine to new levels. Some health care systems in the United States now offer Virtual Urgent Care, patients see a doctor by video chat without having to leave home. Diana Rae is a nurse educator in the western state of Washington. She recently showed how Virtual Urgent Care works. She used an iPad tablet and skype -- the video chat service. Doctor Green has the patient describe her symptoms, then the doctor performs a physical exam by demonstrating what he wants her to do. Doctor Green decides that the problem is a silence infection. For medicine, he prescribes an antibiotic. He says about 3 out of 4 patients have health problems that can be treated like this --through Virtual Urgent Care, that means a video chat could replace a visit to the doctor's office. The Franciscan Health System is based in Tacoma, Washington. Franciscan charges $35 for this kind of virtual house call, that is much less than the cost of going to an emergency room, a doctor's office or an urgent care clinic. After trying the video conference, Diana Rae says, "I would've paid twice that for the convenience of getting taken care of without having to sit in a waiting room, wait, and get exposed to everyone else's germs." Franciscan has a deal with a company called Carena to add virtual urgent care by Skype or phone. Carena is one of several companies doing this kind of work around the country. But a company official says state rules have not kept progress with developments in telemedicine.

On 17 March 2003, Robin Cook, Leader of the House of Commons and former Foreign Secretary, resigned from the Cabinet in protest against the coming war in Iraq. His resignation speech inspired the first long applause in the history of the House and marked the end of the ministerial career of one of Labor's most brilliant politicians. For the previous two years, Robin Cook kept a diary, a personal record of the life of Labor's second term, a diary that forms the center of the narrative . The Point of Departureis Robin Cook's plain account of this extraordinary period in our political history, the most important political publication of the decade. Though surprised by his abrupt dismissal as Foreign Secretary, he became determined to bring about some changes in Parliamentary democracy that he believed was essential if Parliament was to move into the 21stcentury. As Tony Blair told him, "This is the job for you." Drawing on first-hand experiences in the Commons and the Cabinet, of encounters in conferences, and late night conversations, we follow his gathering disillusionment as the political compass of the government changes to directions which he believes to be completely mistaken: from its failure about Lords reform and its unwillingness to provide leadership for social change, to a foreign policy which has led us away from our responsibility in Europe, into closer relationship with the most right-wing government in American history, and participation in Bush's war on Iraq. This is the story of a government in power and the tensions between those who govern. But above all it is a story of a politician who truly wanted to bring democracy closer to the people, but who saw a government increasingly separated from the values of himself and his party, and who developed a growing belief that on Iraq, its position was morally, diplomatically and politically wrong. Robin Cook first entered Parliament as MP for Edinburgh Central in 1974. He held a number of senior positions in Opposition -- Shadow Foreign Secretary, Shadow Health and Social Services Secretary -- before becoming Foreign Secretary in 1997.

As we all know, getting benched in sports is usually a bad thing. But at one school in Florida, a girl has taken a bench and turned it into something entirely different - a place to find friends. It's called the Friendship Bench. And it's the brainchild of a sixth grader at Palm Bay Elementary - a girl named Acacia Woodley. Acacia's attitude toward life might be summed up best by a question she recently asked members of the Brevard County School Board - "what if we spend as much time putting the spotlight on kindness as we do on cruelty?" It's a philosophy Acacias has learned to live her own life -despite having a lot of people would consider a handicap. She was born without a right hand. And her left hand did not form properly. But Acacia says that she has not stopped her from achieving her goals. "You need to believe in your dreams. If you don't believe in you dreams, I can definitely tell you that they are not going to come true." She said. Acacia came up with the idea for the Friendship Bench after seeing kids getting bullied at school. She says she has also experienced bullying herself - kids whispering about her or picking on her because she is different. "Some people say they feel sorry for me. I tell them not to," she said. "I don't care that I'm different. I like being different." The Friendship Bench looks like a lot of other benches. It has arm sets and a place to lean on. But there are also words painted on it - words such as "hope", "respect", "listen" and "dream". Acacia put the benches together with the help from her mother and brother. Any time a kid feels he or she needs a friend, all that kid needs to do is sit on the bench. It is then up to the other kids - or grown-ups - to fill that need. "It's a perfect idea," Palm Bay Elementary Principal Lori said. "It's something we've needed so badly." The Friendship Bench has been such a success at Palm Bay Elementary that other schools are now interested in installing one too. "There's a saying in my teacher's classroom," Acacia said.

##hip and ( d ) information support ( advice, guidance, and feedback ). experiential knowledge is specialized information and perspectives that people obtain from living through a particular experience such as substance abuse, a physical disability, chronic physical or mental illness, or a traumatic event such as combat, a natural disaster, domestic violence or a violent crime, sexual abuse, or imprisonment. experiential knowledge tends to be unique and pragmatic and when shared contributes to solving problems and improving quality of life. social learning theory postulates that peers, because they have undergone and survived relevant experiences, are more credible role models for others. interactions with peers who are successfully coping with their experiences or illness are more likely to result in positive behavior change. social comparison means that individuals are more comfortable interacting with others who share common characteristics with themselves, such as a psychiatric illness, in order to establish a sense of normalcy. by interacting with others who are perceived to be better than them, peers are given a sense of optimism and something to strive toward. the helper - therapy principle proposes that there are four significant benefits to those who provide peer support : ( a ) increased sense of interpersonal competence as a result of making an impact on another person's life ; ( b ) development of a sense of equality in giving and taking between himself or herself and others ; ( c ) helper gains new personally - relevant knowledge while helping ; and ( d ) the helper receives social approval from the person they help, and others. self - determination means that individuals have the right to determine their own future — people are more likely to act on their own decisions rather than decisions made by others for them. = = in schools and education = = = = = peer mentoring = = = peer mentoring takes place in learning environments such as schools, usually between an older more experienced student and a new student. peer mentors appear mainly in secondary schools where students moving up from primary schools may need assistance in settling into the whole new schedule and lifestyle of secondary school life. peer mentoring is also used in the workplace as a means of orienting new employees. new employees who are paired with a peer mentor are twice as likely to remain in their job than those who do not receive mentorship. = = = peer listening = = = this form of peer support is widely used within schools. peer supporters are trained, normally from within schools or universities, or sometimes by outside organizations, such as childline's chips ( childline in partnership with schools ) program, to be " active listeners

As we all know, getting benched in sports is usually a bad thing. But at one school in Florida, a girl has taken a bench and turned it into something entirely different - a place to find friends. It's called the Friendship Bench. And it's the brainchild of a sixth grader at Palm Bay Elementary - a girl named Acacia Woodley. Acacia's attitude toward life might be summed up best by a question she recently asked members of the Brevard County School Board - "what if we spend as much time putting the spotlight on kindness as we do on cruelty?" It's a philosophy Acacias has learned to live her own life -despite having a lot of people would consider a handicap. She was born without a right hand. And her left hand did not form properly. But Acacia says that she has not stopped her from achieving her goals. "You need to believe in your dreams. If you don't believe in you dreams, I can definitely tell you that they are not going to come true." She said. Acacia came up with the idea for the Friendship Bench after seeing kids getting bullied at school. She says she has also experienced bullying herself - kids whispering about her or picking on her because she is different. "Some people say they feel sorry for me. I tell them not to," she said. "I don't care that I'm different. I like being different." The Friendship Bench looks like a lot of other benches. It has arm sets and a place to lean on. But there are also words painted on it - words such as "hope", "respect", "listen" and "dream". Acacia put the benches together with the help from her mother and brother. Any time a kid feels he or she needs a friend, all that kid needs to do is sit on the bench. It is then up to the other kids - or grown-ups - to fill that need. "It's a perfect idea," Palm Bay Elementary Principal Lori said. "It's something we've needed so badly." The Friendship Bench has been such a success at Palm Bay Elementary that other schools are now interested in installing one too. "There's a saying in my teacher's classroom," Acacia said. "It says, 'it you can dream it, you can achieve it.'" Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Acacia has also suffered from other kids' bullying.
B. The kids who sit on the bench feel they need friends.
C. Grown-ups are allowed to offer their help to the one in need.
D. The Friendship Bench is different from others in the arm sets.

Many define it as a precious time in their life when they are young ,when fun ,passion,and imagination seem limitless.But for most high school students,youth is a time of determination and willpower for achieving their goals. This is vividly shown in Mark of Youth,a movie that opened on Feb 5.Mark of Uouth tells the story of four Senior 3 students in a top high school in the days leading up to the national cooege entrance examination. Each character represents a differet type of student,ranging from the most mischievous to the most motvated .Like most teenagers ,they enjoy carefree moments and like to talk about their schoolmates.But the rension of the approaching exam,probably their first life-changing event,is common-they must memorize seemingly endless English words and Chinese poems,work through piles of aractice test papers,and improve their scores despite the increasing pressure. But life exists beyond campus.That the college entrance examination is coming up doesn't mean they can escape family changes,such as when one character's parents get divorced or another's father is arrested.Can these four young people handle their problems and eventually make it to their ideal universities despite their on -and -off campus stress? The story is set in Hubei Huanggang Middle School,known for its students'outstanding performances on the big exam.The four students are played by the actors who played in the reality shows Happy Boys and Happy Girls.HongKong actor Alex Fong plays their teacher. Students may look more fashionable in Mark of Youth than in real life,but it is the story about the final year of high school that many viewers relate to.

play'and schooling going into the 21st century comes as a result of the increasing complexity of our world and its technologies, which too demand an increasing intricacy of skill as well as a more exhaustive set of pre - requisite abilities. many of the behavioral and emotional problems associated with adolescence may arise as children cope with the increased demands placed on them, demands which have become increasingly abstracted from the work and expectations of adulthood. = = socio - emotional and cognitive markers = = although psychological maturity is specifically grounded in the autonomy of one's decision - making ability, these outcomes are deeply embedded in not only cognition, but also in lifelong processes of emotional, social and moral development. various theorists have provided frameworks for recognizing the indicators of maturity. erikson's stages of psychosocial development describe progression into adult maturity, with each maturational stage characterized by a certain kind of psychosocial conflict. the " identity " stage is characterized as being mainly concerned with issues of role exploration and role confusion, and also the exploration of sexual and other identities. adolescents navigate a web of conflicting values and selves in order to emerge as'the person one has come to be'and'the person society expects one to become '. erikson did not insist that stages begin and end at globally pre - defined points, but that particular stages such as " identity " could extend into adulthood for as long as it took to resolve the conflict. piaget's theory of cognitive development defines the formal operational stage as a plateau reached once an individual can think logically using symbols and is marked by a shift away from " concrete " thought, or thought bound to immediacy and facts, and toward " abstract " thought, or thought employing reflection and deduction. these theories have shaped the investigation of adolescent development and reflect the limitations of cognition prior to adulthood. while maturity is often termed as a label awarded to a child, research has revealed that children themselves hold a clear sense of their own autonomy and personal jurisdiction. for instance, american elementary - aged school children demonstrated an acknowledgement of the limits of their parents'authority over their choice of dress, hairstyle, friends, hobbies, and media choices. but this constrained earlier concept of personal autonomy later develops into a broader understanding of individual freedoms, with an understanding of freedom of speech as a universal right emerging by elementary school age. however, younger children do have difficulty with maintaining a consistent view on universal rights, with 75 % of first - grade children expressing uncertainty about prohibiting freedom of speech in canada.

Working women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big downside: weight gain! New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more pounds you're likely to pile on. Like many women, I work... a lot! As a self-employed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and it's directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isn't that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline. In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 45-50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What's more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained. The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. I'll also add in travel, meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.

The current Ebola outbreak in western and central Africa has infected at least 3,069 people, including 1,552 dead, making it the largest outbreak in history. Ebola is a deadly virus --about 60 percent of people infected with it have died. How is Ebola doing its harm? When a person becomes infected with Ebola, the virus damages the body's immune cells, which defend against infection, said a researcher at Lancaster University. But if a person's immune system can stand up to this attack, then he is more likely to survive the disease. The patients that survive it best are those who don't get such a bad disadvantage in immune system. But if the body isn't able to get rid of this attack, then the immune system becomes less able to regulate itself. This means the immune system is more likely to run out of control, leading to a drop in blood pressure, multi-organ failure and eventually death. What are the common symptoms of the disease? Fever. Headache. Joint and muscle aches. Weakness. Diarrhea. Vomiting. Stomach pain. Lack of appetite. Chills. Rash. Redness in the eyes. Hiccups. Cough. Sore throat. Chest pain. Difficult breathing or swallowing. Bleeding inside and outside of the body. How to prevent the spread of Ebola? Ebola can be spread primarily via direct contact with patients, specifically the blood and fluids of an infected patient. We should avoid contact with infected patients and objects such as clothing, bedding, and needles used by them. Avoid areas where infections have been reported. For now, the disease has only been confirmed in central and West Africa, four cases in America and Europe. Avoid eating wild-caught bush meat. Researchers have suspected that the disease came to humans via animals, probably through the meat of primates . If you're in an area where the disease has been reported, avoid purchasing, eating, or handling wild game to stay on the safe side. Wear protective medical clothing if you're around infected patients. Extreme caution is necessary. Hospital workers must use masks, gloves, goggles, and gowns, which needed to be worn at all times if you're around infected patients. How Do People Survive Ebola? Doctors don't know for certain who will survive Ebola, and there is no specific treatment or cure for the disease. Although in the minority, some people do recover from infection. Our suggestions include: Maintain your electrolytes and body liquid. Sports drinks can be used. Monitor your blood pressure and control it if necessary. Dropping blood pressure may be a serious sign of infection. Breathe in an oxygen-rich environment. Quickly address any symptoms of infection. Be honest about when and where you're feeling pain. What is NOT mentioned as the symptom of Ebola?

Based on cultural traditions and the changing face of contemporary British communities, the Festival of Muslim Cultures joins young people from Muslim and non-Muslim backgrounds together through the creation of innovative , high quality cultural activities. We have been working with arts and educational institutions across the UK to promote the mainstreaming of Muslim cultures within UK everyday life. The Festival was created out of the need to encourage a better understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims, to promote respect for Muslim cultures and to show how culture creates the pathways that connect us all together. The program launched with a visit by the Festival's patron , the Prince of Wales, to the exhibition "Palace and Mosque" in Sheffield and since then there have been more than 100 events that have ranged from a Somali community day in Cardiff at the National Museum of Wales to a late-night Dance with Radio Tarifa (from Spain) and Dimi Mint Abba (form Mauritania) in the Royal Albert Hall and from a home-grown play in Nottingham about the Kashmir earthquake to the exhibition"Beyond the Palace Walls" at the Royal Museum Edinburgh of Islamic art from the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg. We are now working on a number of long-term projects which stay true to our commitment to promoting Muslim cultures through arts collaborations and build on the extensive network of local, national and international partners that Festival has created. These include a three-year national program that connects young Muslims to their local cultural institutions; a UK Muslim cookbook; an exhibition of the Ottoman architect Sinan; and a project for schools around the 1000-year old story "The Animals' Lawsuit against Humanity".

Today, most people follow a routine, such that they are caught in a cycle of running around the clock without getting any breathing space to enjoy a satisfying life. If you could only take a pause and inspect your routine with a new outlook, you would find that it is actually easy to make some positive changes in life. Making time for yourself is one such positive change. Waking up early gives you ample time to exercise, have your breakfast peacefully, look after your garden, and then get on with the rest of your day. Morning time can be effectively used for planning the day ahead. As a result, you will get enough time to plan your schedule in a better manner. By maintaining a diary of daily tasks, you offer yourself enough time to prepare your schedule, besides not leaving out the important things that need to be done. By writing down the daily activities at hand, you can make necessary changes to the next day's schedule effectively. You don't have to spend hours in a gym every day to stay fit and healthy. In fact, even if you devote just around 20 to 30 minutes daily to exercises like stretching and walking, it can work wonders. Well, the option of using public transport to save time, at first glance, may not seem to be a good idea. However, by using public transit, you will get the time to read books or make those important calls. You would be amazed to know how reading transforms your thought process and personality as a whole. When you get habitual to watching TV, you waste so much time doing nothing constructive. Many a time, you are not really interested in watching TV. In such cases, you need to break free of this habit and invest your precious time in something worthwhile. Paint something or play a game of chess with your kids. This way, you not only make quality time for yourselves, but also create a positive environment at home. Internet surfing, these days, is one of the top time-wasting activities around. Internet users, over time, get habitual to surfing the Internet purposelessly. In fact, Internet surfing is a kind of addiction which many of us find difficult to get rid of. Thus, reducing the amount of time you are on the Internet is one way to save time for yourself. A fast-paced life should not be an excuse that is used not to look after yourself. In fact, such a lifestyle should be the very reason for you to treat yourself with great care and make more time for yourself. What is the passage mainly about?

everyday life, daily life or routine life comprises the ways in which people typically act, think, and feel on a daily basis. everyday life may be described as mundane, routine, natural, habitual, or normal. human diurnality means most people sleep at least part of the night and are active in daytime. most eat two or three meals in a day. working time ( apart from shift work ) mostly involves a daily schedule, beginning in the morning. this produces the daily rush hours experienced by many millions, and the drive time focused on by radio broadcasters. evening is often leisure time. bathing every day is a custom for many. beyond these broad similarities, lifestyles vary and different people spend their days differently. for example, nomadic life differs from sedentism, and among the sedentary, urban people live differently from rural folk. differences in the lives of the rich and the poor, or between laborers and intellectuals, may go beyond their working hours. children and adults also vary in what they do each day. = = sociological perspectives = = everyday life is a key concept in cultural studies and is a specialized subject in the field of sociology. some argue that, motivated by capitalism and industrialism's degrading effects on human existence and perception, writers and artists of the 19th century turned more towards self - reflection and the portrayal of everyday life represented in their writings and art to a noticeably greater degree than in past works, for example renaissance literature's interest in hagiography and politics. other theorists dispute this argument based on a long history of writings about daily life which can be seen in works from ancient greece, medieval christianity and the age of enlightenment. in the study of everyday life, gender has been an important factor in its conceptions. some theorists regard women as the quintessential representatives and victims of everyday life. the connotation of everyday life is often negative, and is distinctively separated from exceptional moments by its lack of distinction and differentiation. ultimately this is defined as the essential, taken - for - granted continuum of mundane activity that outlines forays into more esoteric experiences. it is the non - negotiable reality that exists amongst all social groupings without discrimination and is an unavoidable basis for which all human endeavor exists. much of everyday life is automatic in that it is driven by current environmental features as mediated by automatic cognitive processing of those features, and without any mediation by conscious choice, according to social psychologist john a. bargh. daily life is also studied by sociologists

Today, most people follow a routine, such that they are caught in a cycle of running around the clock without getting any breathing space to enjoy a satisfying life. If you could only take a pause and inspect your routine with a new outlook, you would find that it is actually easy to make some positive changes in life. Making time for yourself is one such positive change. Waking up early gives you ample time to exercise, have your breakfast peacefully, look after your garden, and then get on with the rest of your day. Morning time can be effectively used for planning the day ahead. As a result, you will get enough time to plan your schedule in a better manner. By maintaining a diary of daily tasks, you offer yourself enough time to prepare your schedule, besides not leaving out the important things that need to be done. By writing down the daily activities at hand, you can make necessary changes to the next day's schedule effectively. You don't have to spend hours in a gym every day to stay fit and healthy. In fact, even if you devote just around 20 to 30 minutes daily to exercises like stretching and walking, it can work wonders. Well, the option of using public transport to save time, at first glance, may not seem to be a good idea. However, by using public transit, you will get the time to read books or make those important calls.

the self - transforming brain refers to the ability of the self to consciously use mental activity to change / modify the brain's neural network in order to experience life with more happiness and fulfillment. this capacity of using awareness to do so is based on the assumption that the brain and the mind are closely connected, that one does not change without the other. the phrase " i think therefore i am " is not only a famous proclamation in the eyes of neuroscience. it has been evidenced that mental activities such as fleeting thoughts and feelings can create new neural structures in the brain and thus shape a person's reality. therefore, it is possible to make use of the brain's neuroplasticity to re - wire or change one's brain and life by consciously activating happy, tranquil and loving mental states. = = background : brain - evolution link = = the experience of happiness and well - being is a universal pursuit, but often a struggle to achieve. one explanation for this is that happiness is not the brain's default and normal state of mind, whereas the evolutionary psychologists claim that suffering is. suffering in the form of everyday stress, hurt, anger, loneliness, worry and disappointment experienced by the layperson is thought to be the side effect of strategies that helped human ancestors survive and pass on their genes throughout evolution. in this manner, the neural networks in the human brain have evolved to create pain and suffering when the evolutionary instincts cannot keep up with the outside world. this happens, for example, when the brain attempts to separate the body and the self from a world where everything is connected. consequently, the weaknesses of an individual's body become personal weaknesses, and the individual suffers as a result of negative self - image, illness and aging. another survival strategy embedded in the neural networks of the brain is the tendency to approach pleasure and avoid pain, which is why humans suffer when they experience mental states with a negative feeling tone. = = bias = = due to the strong impact of evolution on the human brain, what the modern man is left with is a negativity bias, which colours the manner in which humans perceive and interpret events within the environment. this bias is the reason for why the mind in particular, scans for, remembers and reacts to unpleasant experiences and why emotions such as worry, anxiety and fear of anticipated negative outcomes often follows. however, the negativity bias does not correspond with reality, as humans are most often not in danger. even so, the brain simulates worst - case scenarios and creates additional worry

Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare or invasive species, study bio-diversity or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water. Ryan Kelly is an ecologist at the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs at the University of Washington in Seattle. He works in a laboratory there with other researchers. They study the genetic material released by living creatures. "Essentially we can take a sample of soil or air -- and in our case -- water, and we can sequence(to arrange the order of genes)the DNA out of it and tell you what is there." Ryan Kelly says he and his research team are studying water samples collected from Puget Sound. He says the cost of gene sequencing has "been reduced greatly in recent years." That makes DNA testing more widely available. Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature. Caren Goldberg heads the new e-DNA lab at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. She is one of the first biologists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing phase to actually using it. "It is extremely useful for species that are really hard to find. I have spent many hours looking for species that I was pretty sure were there -- looking under rocks, looking in water, doing all kinds of surveys." Caren Goldberg sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, safely and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish. "We're absolutely at this point where proof-of-concept has been established. I don't think everyone necessarily is ready for it yet, but I think the majority of people are." This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian diseases. Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction, disappearance, of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state. Now, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management wants Caren Goldberg to look for the Columbia spotted frog in two other western states. The rare amphibian is a candidate for the federal government's threatened species list. Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted. A related research goal is to show how long environmental DNA can last and how far it can travel in different environments. The passage can be sorted as a(n) _ .

dna barcoding methods for fish are used to identify groups of fish based on dna sequences within selected regions of a genome. these methods can be used to study fish, as genetic material, in the form of environmental dna ( edna ) or cells, is freely diffused in the water. this allows researchers to identify which species are present in a body of water by collecting a water sample, extracting dna from the sample and isolating dna sequences that are specific for the species of interest. barcoding methods can also be used for biomonitoring and food safety validation, animal diet assessment, assessment of food webs and species distribution, and for detection of invasive species. in fish research, barcoding can be used as an alternative to traditional sampling methods. barcoding methods can often provide information without damage to the studied animal. aquatic environments have unique properties that affect how genetic material from organisms is distributed. dna material diffuses rapidly in aquatic environments, which makes it possible to detect organisms from a large area when sampling a specific spot. due to rapid degradation of dna in aquatic environments, detected species represent contemporary presence, without confounding signals from the past. dna - based identification is fast, reliable and accurate in its characterization across life stages and species. reference libraries are used to connect barcode sequences to single species and can be used to identify the species present in dna samples. libraries of reference sequences are also useful in identifying species in cases of morphological ambiguity, such as with larval stages. edna samples and barcoding methods are used in water management, as species composition can be used as an indicator of ecosystem health. barcoding and metabarcoding methods are particularly useful in studying endangered or elusive fish, as species can be detected without catching or harming the animals. = = applications = = = = = ecological monitoring = = = biomonitoring of aquatic ecosystems is required by national and international legislation ( e. g. the water framework directive and the marine strategy framework directive ). traditional methods are time - consuming and include destructive practices that can harm individuals of rare or protected species. dna barcoding is a relatively cost - effective and quick method for identifying fish species aquatic environments. presence or absence of key fish species can be established using edna from water samples and spatio - temporal distribution of fish species ( e. g. timing and location of spawning ) can be studied. this can help discover e. g. impacts of physical barriers such as dam construction and other human disturbances. dna tools are also used in
