[www.keralites.net] 10 Signs You're An Option, NOT A Priority!

 


10 Signs You're An Option, NOT A Priority!

 

One of the hardest lessons we ever have to learn in life is that people aren't always as genuine as they make themselves out to be, and that you're not as big of a priority to them as you would like to think you are.

 

Have you ever found yourself constantly giving and giving, only for your good deeds and actions to go unreciprocated? Having people like this in our lives is draining and unhealthy.

 

We all need to create relationships with people who are going to make us a priority as often as we make them a priority.

 

Otherwise, it's time to tell them to get lost.

 

Here are 10 signs that you're being put on the back burner by someone who doesn't see you as a priority:

 

1. They always invite other people to big events and gatherings

 

 

2. They never remember anything you say when you talk about what's happening in your life

 

 

3. Almost every plan you try to make with them happens last minute...

 

4. When you call them out on their crap, they write you off as needy or clingy

 

 

5. They suddenly stop responding to text messages, replying when it's convenient for them

 

6. You feel that the relationship only exists because of how much effort YOU put into it

 

7. You find yourself making excuses for their poor behavior

 

 

8. They always flake on things that you consider to be very important

 

 

9. You avoid making plans with others because you're waiting to hear back from them

 

 

10. You feel unhappy in the relationship more often than not

[www.keralites.net] Could this £5 blood test predict a heart attack 15 years early?

 

Could this £5 blood test predict a heart attack 15 years early? Scientists say it could help doctors spot high-risk patients

By Ben Spencer Medical Correspondent For The Daily Mail

 

 

A simple blood test could identify patients at risk of having a heart attack 15 years in advance, British scientists have discovered.

 

The £5 test, which takes just 30 minutes to deliver a result, could help doctors spot patients who would benefit from drugs or lifestyle changes that could save their life.

Some 188,000 people have heart attacks in Britain each year, and nearly 70,000 die as a result.

Many of these cases are avoidable, with lifestyle factors - particularly drinking, smoking, diet and exercise - having an impact on roughly 85 per cent of cases.

Yet people tend not to take action until they start to suffer warning signs.

 

When heart muscle is damaged it leaks a protein called troponin in to the blood stream.

A blood test that detects troponin is already used in hospitals to quickly diagnose whether someone has had a heart attack.

But the new study, led by the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, suggests it the troponin test can also be used to detect the early signs of damage years before someone actually has an attack.

The found the test is particularly good at precisely identifying people who will benefit from cholesterol-busting statins, averting their risk of major cardiovascular disease later in life.

It can also be used to assess how well statins are working - and help doctors find another treatment if the pills are ineffective.

In a trial of 3,000 men with high cholesterol but no history of heart disease, the team found high troponin levels accurately predicted the risk of a person suffering a heart attack up to 15 years later.

Those who tested positive for high troponin levels were 2.3 times more likely to have a heart attack, the researchers found.

But the results, published last night in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, also reinforced the use of statins as a treatment for heart disease.

The scientists found taking a statin pills quickly reduced troponin levels - with striking results.

Those whose troponin levels decreased by 25 per cent had a five-fold lower risk of heart attack.

The test could be used to move patients whose troponin levels did not drop on to a different type of statin, or a completely different type of cholesterol drug.

Study leader Professor Nicholas Mills of the University of Edinburgh, said: 'These results are tremendously exciting, and could revolutionise the way we manage patients at risk of coronary heart disease.

PATCH TO REPAIR HEART DAMAGE

'Whilst blood cholesterol levels and blood pressure are important and associated with the risk of developing heart disease, troponin is a direct measure of injury to the heart.

'Troponin testing will help doctors to identify apparently healthy individuals who have silent heart disease so we can target preventative treatments to those who are likely to benefit most.'

He said more studies are needed - particularly because the trial was only conducted on middle-aged men, with no women included.

But if the results are replicated the test could quickly be rolled out for use by GPs.

Professor Sir Nilesh Samani, medical director at the British Heart Foundation, which funded the study, said: 'The use of troponin tests to determine whether or not a person has had a heart attack when they first arrive at hospital is now firmly established in clinical practice.

'Now, the hope from this new research is that we may be able to use this simple test earlier on to identify people at higher risk of suffering from a heart attack.

'Those found to be at higher risk could have their preventative treatments intensified.

'Before the findings from this research can be clinically applied, the usefulness of measuring troponin findings need to be demonstrated in a wider group of patients.

'If this confirms its value, the test could easily be administered by GPs during standard check-ups, and could ultimately save lives.'

[www.keralites.net] Life In North Korea - Illegal Photos Kim Doesn’t Want You To See!

 


Life In North Korea - Illegal Photos Kim Doesn't Want You To See!

 

I (Michal Huniewicz) Took And Smuggled These Out Of North Korea – Illegal Photos Kim Doesn't Want You To See


I visited North Korea and took these photos, most of them illegal, so you could get a more candid look into the most mysterious country on the planet.


I was told I would be detained in case photos like these were found ("You took many photos. Too many," – said my guide), but I managed to smuggle them out of the country, which was very stressful.


Authority – military is present everywhere in Pyongyang



The difference between North Korea (left) and China (right) is staggering



And it becomes even more apparent at night


You have several of these to fill in on your way in



First photo I took in North Korea. Photograhy from this train is illegal



People waiting to sell human waste to be used as fertiliser


"(The Korean Workers') Party is never going to forget the comrades of Rakwon [city]"



North Koreans can only travel within the country when they receive a permit



North Korean soldiers


Dignity

 

Arrival in Pyongyang. I believe this was staged, as there were no other trains that day, so those elegant looking travellers had no reason to be there


 

Pyongyang – we were intercepted by our guides, who we could not leave during the entire stay, and who'd tell us when to sleep and when to wake up



North Korean street photography



Brutalist architecture of Pyongyang



Cityscape from the Yanggakdo hotel


The hotel officially has no floor 5, and you can only reach it by stairs

 

The door is almost always closed, but if you manage to get in, the place is full of propaganda posters, and people speculate it's used for spying on the guests.
We did not get to interact with the locals almost at all. Most waitresses seemed slightly terrified of us




Kim Il-Sung's square. This is one of the places they want you to photograph

 

Those allowed to live in Pyongyang are privileged, and wear a badge that is impossible to buy (you can get a fake one in China)


 

You are only allowed to photograph these statues if both bodies are featured in their entirety. There was an endless stream of North Koreans bringing flowers and bowing


 

I had 15 seconds to take this picture. This shop is for the locals only, and I was kicked out of it by my guide soon after taking this photo, but he didnt' see me taking it



Some of the souvenirs you can buy



The city is clear of rubbish

 

There was hardly any traffic, but they took our passports away and forbid us to go anywhere on our own in case we participate in a car accident…



Workers


The city was clean and elegant, but then I saw this



Socialist murals



Finally, people commuting to work

[www.keralites.net] 10 Useful Facts May Save Your Life One Day!

 


10 Facts that May Save Your Life!
 

Most people can go through their life without being put in life-threatening situations, but sometimes, remembering what to do in such a case can make the difference between tragedy and a scary memory. Memorize these 10 simple facts and you just might be thankful you did one day, although I hope you never do.


1. The limits of the human body often follow the "Rules of Three":
3 minutes without air
3 hours without shelter from the elements
3 days without drinking
3 weeks without eating

2. If you find yourself caught in a riptide and being pulled out to sea, remain calm and swim parallel to the shore.

Trying to fight the riptide is more ly to lead to exhaustion – the main cause of drowning.

3. If you're in a burning building – keep your head down.
Fire victims often die from inhaling smoke rather than the fire itself. Poisonous smoke is hot and will rise while fresh air will remain close to the ground (Cover your face with a wet towel for extra protection).


4. In a situation where you are crying for help, be specific.

Calling specific people ("You with the blue shirt!") will increase the liness of them helping you. Being called out puts them in an accountable position, reducing the liness of the "bystander effect" (the more people around, the more people feel it's not their responsibility to be the one to help.)

5. Most cell phones can dial the local emergency number when they're locked, even without a SIM card.


6. Learn how to give yourself the Heimlich maneuver.

7. Do you spend more than two straight hours sitting down? Get up, stretch and walk around for 5 minutes.
Whether you have an office job or you're traveling, sitting for prolonged periods can lead to blood clots in your calves. These clots can travel through your bloodstream and end up blocking blood flow to vital organs.
 
8. If you see a photo where you are the only person in a group who has 'red eyes', visit a doctor.
'Red eye' in just one person in a group may indicate a case of retinoblastoma, which is a type of eye cancer.


 

9. If you're a man and (for some reason) you use a pregnancy test that comes out positive, visit a doctor.
A positive test in a man may be an indicator of testicular cancer.

10. Even if the traffic light is green, it's not necessarily safe to go.

 




Try to give yourself 2-3 seconds before you go through that green light, especially if it's a busy intersection. A large percent of deadly vehicle accidents occur because some driver wanted to beat the red light. Waiting for those precious seconds makes sure you don't take that risk.
