Health and Exercise Health and exercise are the two sides of the same coin, absolutely inseparable from each other. Let us analyse what health is. Health is, in common understanding, the name given to the correct well adjusted working of the physical system of man's body. This involves the efficient working of all the systems of the body i.e. the nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system etc. If all these systems are working efficiently in a man's body, the man is called healthy. Now, let us consider as to what makes these systems work efficiently? The human body is very intricate and there are so many internal organs all working as singular bodies and also coordinating the functions of all together. It is on the good and efficient working of all its organs that the health of a human body depends. Since many important organs are internal organs and cannot be seen from outside, or can they be touched with the hand, so, the problem is, how to keep so many internal organs work efficiently and keep them trim and healthy. It is for this problem of maintaining these internal organs that, there are certain norms which, if man follows with immunity, he will remain healthy with all these organs working well and efficiently. It is to deal with these unseen organs that are vital to man's health that exercise is said to be the best tonic, and energiser. With a detailed plan of exercises, man can give all his organs a befitting rejuvenation on a daily basis. Exercise tones up our movements, keeps the spine straight and fit, and the digestive system perfect. The blood circulates through the body reaching out to all the parts of the body. Asides this, when the exercise gives the heart a chance to pump faster its capacity to pump blood faster is proportionately increased. Thus, with an exercise format regularly followed, man can help keep all his organs, internal and external geared up and in absolute fitness. Exercise also tones the muscles and keeps man active. Thus, with exercise, man provides for himself a good and perfect and sound health. Exercise and health are absolutely inseparable and are always seen going hand in hand. Exercise is also one neat and sure way of avoiding health hazards and medication. Exercise could well be called a tonic for all times, for all people and for all ages. Once this tonic is consumed regularly on a daily basis, no other medication may ever be required.

CLIMATE?OR WEATHER? We hear about weather and climate all of the time. Most of us check the local weather forecast to plan our days. And climate change is certainly a “hot” topic in the news. There is, however, still a lot of confusion over the difference between the two. Think about it this way: Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. Weather is what you see outside on any particular day. So, for example, it may be 75 degrees and sunny or it could be 20 degrees with heavy snow. That’s the weather. Climate is the average of that weather. For example, you can expect snow in the Northeast in January or for it to be hot and humid in the Southeast in July. This is climate. The climate record also includes extreme values such as record high temperatures or record amounts of rainfall. If you’ve ever heard your local weather person say “today we hit a record high for this day,” she is talking about climate records. So when we are talking about climate change, we are talking about changes in long-term averages of daily weather. In most places, weather can change from minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. Climate, however, is the average of weather over time and space.

BULLYING PART 2 What is bullying? Definitions of bullying vary. At present there is not an agreed-upon definition and there are differences in how the term is used. However, the following are key elements of bullying: a power imbalance, an unjust use of power, the intent to harm, the victim's distress or feeling of being oppressed, (typically) repetition over time which results in a consolidation of reputations and the power differential, and evident enjoyment by the aggressor.

BULLYING PART 1 Sadly, bullying is pervasive in our society. It occurs in school, in the workplace, and essentially wherever people gather or are in relationship. Fortunately, writings about bullying and research into bullying have burgeoned in the last decade. We now know much more about the extent of bullying, the nature of bullying, the long-term emotional, psychological and health-related consequences of bullying, and the effectiveness of various school-based intervention programs. Many wonderful people are passionately committed to bullying awareness and prevention and there are now many resources. Thankfully, the myth that schoolyard bullying is a rite of passage is in our past. In the next summary, I will review some research, discuss some principles of intervention, describe some strategies, and provide some references for additional reading and resources.

The essence of a good relationship A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river." The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand." "What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father. "There's a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go." In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours... This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings.

My Philosophy of Nursing Philosophy is defined in the dictionary as the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Recently Simmons has referred to philosophy as “knowledge of first causes or of the highest principles of things in so far as these causes or things belong to the natural, as opposed to the supernatural order.” (Simmons 1992 p.112) My nursing philosophy is one of holistic care, delivering compassionate and culturally sensitive care to patients and families. I believe that nursing is an occupation that includes professional individuals that demonstrate and express compassion, respect, dignity, and integrity to their patients and fellow coworkers. Schrock is quoted to have said that “nurses are born, not made; nursing is an art based on common sense”. I believe this to be true. So many people go into this profession for the wrong reasons as discussed in class week. Nursing is not a profession one enters in to make a large quantity of money. Nursing is a career that you have to love doing, because it was born into you. My personal philosophy on nursing as a career is to be a patient advocate through clear communication, education, and applying critical thinking, and decision making skills to help better the patients' outcome. As a nurse, it is important to me to provide the highest quality nursing care possible to achieve excellence in patient results and at the same time, providing a respectful healing environment. Nursing is about compassion and trying to understand human beings on all emotional, physical, and scientific levels. It is a profession which uses evidence based practices yet displays a comprehensive understanding of human beings. As a professional nurse I feel a personal commitment toward life-long learning, through formal education and hands-on experience to better myself and my nursing knowledge.
