LIFE OF A STUDENT

Being a student is fun, but it does have its down side. For most students it is the first time that they have left home and is therefore somewhat disconcerting. The realisation that there is now no mechanism around to take dirty smelly clothes and magically transform them into clean ones is a horrible one. There is also the feeling that nobody at university particularly cares about you, or how you are doing. This is not true; all our courses come complete with a free supervisor.

None of our supervisors will actually admit to wearing vests with a big "S" on underneath their shirts, but they have been known to do some pretty superhuman things for their students.

It is important that you get on well with your supervisor, laugh at his or her jokes, pay regular visits etc; one day he or she may have to tell a sceptical staff meeting that the reason you failed your exam was that a giant magpie flew off with your revision notes…

The supervisor is also the person you will want to write a glowing reference for you when you apply for jobs after graduation.

You get to meet your supervisor in the first week of your course, and keep in touch for the rest of your stay in the university. If you have any questions about how life is lived, or university procedure, ask your supervisor first. They may not know the answer, but they will certainly know someone who might.

One of the big problems with being a student is that you have almost no money. Financially, the student's lot has got much harder over the years. However, living at university does not have to be expensive; the on-site catering does good food at reasonable prices, and university accommodation represents pretty good value.

DRUG ABUSE AND ADDICTION

Are you struggling with a drug problem that’s spiraled out of control? If so, you may feel isolated, helpless, or ashamed. Or perhaps you’re worried about a friend or family member’s drug use. In either case, you’re not alone. Addiction is a problem that many people face.

The good news is that you or your loved one can get better. There is hope—no matter how bad the substance abuse problem and no matter how powerless you feel. Learning about the nature of addiction—how it develops, what it looks like, and why it has such a powerful hold—will give you a better understanding of the problem and how to deal with it.

Understanding drug addiction

Other common addictions:

• Alcoholism & Alcohol Abuse
• Smoking
• Gambling Addiction
• Internet Addiction

Addiction is a complex disorder characterized by compulsive drug use. People who are addicted feel an overwhelming, uncontrollable need for drugs or alcohol, even in the face of negative consequences. This self-destructive behavior can be hard to understand. Why continue doing something that’s hurting you? Why is it so hard to stop?

The answer lies in the brain. Repeated drug use alters the brain—causing long-lasting changes to the way it looks and functions. These brain changes interfere with your ability to think clearly, exercise good judgment, control your behavior, and feel normal without drugs. These changes are also responsible, in large part, for the drug cravings and compulsion to use that make addiction so powerful.

How addiction develops

The path to drug addiction starts with experimentation. You or your loved one may have tried drugs out of curiosity, because friends were doing it, or in an effort to erase another problem. At first, the substance seems to solve the problem or make life better, so you use the drug more and more.

But as the addiction progresses, getting and using the drug becomes more and more important and your ability to stop using is compromised. What begins as a voluntary choice turns into a physical and psychological need. The good news is that drug addiction is treatable. With treatment and support, you can counteract the disruptive effects of addiction and regain control of your life.

IMPORTANCE OF WATER

Water is the common name applied to the liquid form (state) of the hydrogen and oxygen compound H2O. Pure water is an odorless, tasteless, clear liquid. Water is one of nature's most important gifts to mankind. Essential to life, a person's survival depends on drinking water. Water is one of the most essential elements to good health -- it is necessary for the digestion and absorbtion of food; helps maintain proper muscle tone; supplies oxygen and nutrients to the cells; rids the body of wastes; and serves as a natural air conditioning system. Health officials emphasize the importance of drinking at least eight glasses of clean water each and every day to maintain good health. Since water contains no calories and can serve as an appetite suppressant and helps the body metabolize stored fat, it may possibly be one of the most significant factors in losing weight. In his book, titled "The Snowbird Diet" Dr. Donald Robertson says the body will not function properly without enough water and discusses the importance of drinking plenty of water for permanent weight loss: "Drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid retention; the overweight person needs more water than the thin one; water helps to maintain proper muscle tone; water can help relieve constipation; drinking water is essential to weight loss." Water is a key component in determining the quality of our lives. Today, people are concerned about the quality of the water they drink. Although water covers more than 70% of the Earth, only 1% of the Earth's water is available as a source of drinking. Yet, our society continues to contaminate this precious resource. Water is known as a natural solvent. Before it reaches the consumer's tap, it comes into contact with many different substances, including organic and inorganic matter, chemicals, and o ther contaminants. Many public water systems treat water with chlorine to destroy disease-producing contaminants that may be present in the water. Although disinfection is an important step in the treatment of potable water, the taste and odor of chlorine is objectionable. And, the disinfectants that are used to prevent disease, can create byproducts which may pose significant health risks. Today, drinking water treatment at the point-of-use is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity! Consumers are taking matters into their own hands and are now determining the quality of the water they and their families will drink by installing a drinking water system that will give them clean, refreshing, and healthier water.

THE FATHER

The father–child relationship is the defining factor of the fatherhood role in life. A "dad" does not always have to be a child's biological father. Some children refer to their stepfathers as their father. Stepfathers are not the biological fathers. When the biological father dies, or divorces, the mother may marry a second one who becomes the stepfather of the child. A father is known as a man who exercises paternal care over other people.^[2][3] Most fathers are naturally protective, supportive, and responsible and are able to provide a number of significant benefits to themselves, their communities, and their children.^[4] Involved fathers offer developmentally specific provisions to their sons and daughters throughout the life cycle and are impacted themselves by their doing so.^[5] Active father figures have a key role to play in reducing behavior problems in boys and psychological problems in young women.^[6] For example, children who experience significant father involvement tend to exhibit higher scores on assessments of cognitive development, enhanced social skills and fewer behaviour problems.^[7][8][9] An increased amount of father–child involvement has also proven to increase a child's social stability, educational achievement, and even their potential to have a solid marriage as an adult. The children are also more curious about the world around them and develop greater problem solving skills.^[10] Children who were raised without fathers perceive themselves to be less cognitively and physically competent than their peers from father-present families.^[11] Mothers raising children without fathers reported more severe disputes with their child. Sons raised without fathers showed more feminine but no less masculine characteristics of gender role behaviour.^[12]

simple tips to get natural fitness.

Here are some tips that ive got.

• Any aerobic exercise is better than no aerobic exercise. Even a few minutes of it on a regular basis is good, but if you want to experience all the benefits, you should try to do some continuous aerobic activity for thirty minutes a day on average, five days a week.
• Remember to work up to this level gradually and at your open space, especially if you have not been exercising.
• Remember also that an average amount of activity overtime. It is not the end of the world if you miss a day or two here and there. You can make it up later. Feeling bad about missing exercise probably does you more harm than missing it.
• In addition to this workout, find other way to increase your  daily activity,  such as using stairs more often, parking farther from your destination to walk  more, and doing more physical  work your self instead of delegating it to others.
• If you exercise with others, try not to do so competitively. Competitive thoughts negate some of the benefits, especially on your cardiovascular and immune system and emotions. If you cannot avoid competitive thinking exercise by yourself.
• Competitive sports like racquetball, handball, and tennis are not substitute for the aerobic activities listed above. In these sport aerobic work is of stop-and-go nature rather than continuous. It is regular, continuous effort that tones your cardiovascular system best.
• Always warm up before you get into the full swing of aerobic activity.  The best warm up is a slowed down version of the activity you are about to perform. For example walk, run, or cycle in slow motion. You will see many people stretching as a warm up but this does not prepare muscle for aerobic exercise as well as slow movement does.
• Give your self a few minutes to cool down at the end of the activity. Repeat the same movement in slow motion.
• If you have never exercised, get a medical check up before you start an exercise program. If you have a history of heart trouble or high blood pressure or a strong family history of such problems a cardiac stress test may be in order.
• Pay attention to your body. Discontinue exercise is develop unusual aches or pains.
• Stop exercising immediately if you develop dizziness lightheaded, fainting. Chest pains or difficulty in breathing. Get a medical check up promptly.
• Your heart rate and breathing should return to normal within five minutes after the end of aerobic exercise. If they do not, get a medical check up.
• Do not exercise if you are sick. Wait until you feel better then resume gradually. Don’t worry about losing fitness: it will come back quickly enough. Ste nor exercise at the on set of illness can cause you to be sicker longer.

THE URBANIZATION

  In many nations one of the most striking characteristics of the last 200 years has been the tremendous change termed "urbanization".Urbanization has been closely associated with economic development. In the history of new developed nations, each increase in material well being was associated with a greater proportion of the total population living in urban areas. Currently the most economically developed nations are also for the most part of the most urbanized and the least developed the least urbanized.

 The reason for urbanization has been the changing character of food production. Before the scientific industrial revolution the number of input goods necessary to achieve the production of agricultural product was very few and the inputs goods used were usually produced by the farmer himself. Toady at least in developed nations, the situation is very different. To create their produce, farmers increasingly rely on artificial fertilizers, insecticides, machinery and inanimate source of energy.

These many inputs to agricultural production cannot be produced directly on the farm but instead are usually produced in urban centers. As a result, a large part of” farm” work is now done not on the farm but in cities. Furthermore, for the many persons in the developed nations who do not themselves live i\on farms, food which remains on the farm is of no direct use.

To be useful to Urbanizes farm produce must be transported from the farm, processed, and the distributed and these additional activities are commonly carried out by persons who themselves dwell in cities. Hence for any typical food product, the farmer receives only a very small share of the total price.
