POPSYamuna footsavers We've been using a tennis ball for doing this -- self-administered massage of the fascia on the bottom of the feet -- but this looks like a more elegant implementation of the same idea. Massaging the fascia on the bottom of the feet can have a surprisingly large effect on increasing one's flexibility. A simple experiment to try: Sit on the floor with your legs extended out flat in front of you and reach forward to touch your toes (a seated forward bend). Notice how far you're able to reach. Now massage the fascia on the bottom of your feet, either with a ball (tennis, racquet, or the like) or by hand. Really knead the soles of your feet. Now do another seated forward bend. How far can you reach now? When I tried this the first time, it increased my stretch by about 2 inches. Fascia are fascinating.

POPSnon-drug options for ADHD - but they leave out the most effective one Sadly, they neglect to mention the most effective non-drug treatment for ADHD/ADD: exercise . John Ratey, MD, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, studies how exercise affects the brain -- in particular, how it affects people with ADHD. See the articles on his website for more information, or take a look at this article for an overview of what he's found. Personally, given a choice between "take this medication which may or may not help your condition and by the way you'll have to deal with the side effects which can be nasty" and "go for a two-mile run", I'll take the run. It's cheaper, better for me, and a lot more enjoyable.

POPSThe Return of the Chastity Belt "It doesn't prevent customers asking for oral sex or masturbation for instance" Estu Fanani is in charge of a local women’s rights NGO, “LBH APIK”. The decision by Batu officials is a very bad one. It reduces the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace to only one part of the female body - the vagina. If the Batu authorities really want to protect their female therapists, why don’t they ask massage parlours to install video cameras or create open spaces? Then they would have evidence in order to be able to punish the men rather than the women. This decision is very hypocritical. It doesn’t prevent customers asking for oral sex or masturbation for instance. And what if these women have to go to the bathroom urgently? It could be dangerous for their health."

POPSThe drug abuse of JFK In time Jacobson's drug treatment became almost a recreational drug for Kennedy. Jacobson was later struck off. Owen: quite likely that Dr Feelgood, specially flown to Vienna, injected Kennedy with intravenous amphetamine just before he met Khrushchev Then Dr Hans Kraus took control of Kennedy's medication.

POPS10 Ways History's Finest Kept Their Focus at Work
7. Aim low Don’t schedule every minute of your day 8. Take time to relax The great all reserved time to relax. And this doesn’t mean engaging in some semi-productive activity like reading a book or washing the dishes. No, they blocked out time to do nothing at all. Gandhi would often spend time just staring at the horizon. Churchill would sit down to smoke a cigar after lunch and Beethoven would stop off for a few beers after his afternoon walk. In his recent autobiography, Alan Greenspan mentions that he too makes time to reflect each day. 9. Get up early(?) This one is the subject of hot debate. Samuel Johnson, Churchill and Dylan Thomas got up late. Gandhi, Franklin and Mandela all got up early. 10. Exercise! Emerson, Beethoven, Nietzsche, Victor Hugo and Gandhi all went for walks. Nietzsche said that he ’scribbled’ notes while he took his walk and claims that some of his best thoughts came in this way. Mandela’s 5 am walks are legendary. The story goes that he on
