Cyclone

Cyclone Changing Our Mind In the last years we  were surprised by a lot of Social Networking Websites and Social programs. Many people thought that they will make our life easier but I think they make us lazier than the past. I know  technology is very important in our life but I think it is harmful these days because if it is used in a bad way. Here is the Question Why do the Social Networking Websites and Social programs continue to be so addicting? Two reasons: information and freedom. People go online to get information (music, news, etc). Logging onto the Social Networking Websites and Social programs is like a kid going to a toy store; there is so much to do and explore that once you get in, you never want to leave. People also go online because the Social Networking Websites and Social programs offer freedom to do whatever they want, to say whatever they want and to be whoever they want. This could have a negative effect since people will act in certain ways and say certain things that they otherwise wouldn't do in real life. Furthermore, because the Social Networking Websites and Social programs continue offers so much freedom, you can find your ideal self much easier, but it's not the same as your social self also they harm us from two sides the Psychological and physical such as hurting our eyes, changing our ideas and causing some disease because when we use them, we set for a lot of hours. We want our simple life that revolves around education, success and how we develop ourselves .So please my sisters give me your hand to move up and create the best.

Report About Smoking

On the basis of more than 7,000 articles relating to smoking and disease already available at that time in the biomedical literature, the Advisory Committee concluded that cigarette smoking is—

·   A cause of lung cancer and laryngeal cancer in men

·   A probable cause of lung cancer in women

·  The most important cause of chronic bronchitis

The release of the report was the first in a series of steps, still being taken more than 40 years later, to diminish the impact of tobacco use on the health of the American people.

For several days, the report furnished newspaper headlines across the country and lead stories on television newscasts. Later it was ranked among the top news stories of 1964.

During the more than 40 years that have elapsed since that report, individual citizens, private organizations, public agencies, and elected officials have pursued the Advisory Committee's call for "appropriate remedial action."

Early on, the U.S. Congress adopted the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act of 1965 and the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act of 1969. These laws—

·  Required a health warning on cigarette packages

·   Banned cigarette advertising in the broadcasting media

·  Called for an annual report on the health consequences of smoking

In September 1965, the Public Health Service established a small unit called the National Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health.

Through the years, the Clearinghouse and its successor organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office on Smoking and Health, have been responsible for 29 reports on the health consequences of smoking.

In close cooperation with voluntary health organizations, the Public Health Service has—

·   Supported successful state and community programs to reduce tobacco use

·  Disseminated research findings related to tobacco use

·  Ensured the continued public visibility of antismoking messages

Within this evolving social milieu, the population has given up smoking in increasing numbers. Nearly half of all living adults who ever smoked have quit.

The antismoking campaign is a major public health success with few parallels in the history of public health. It is being accomplished despite the addictive nature of tobacco and the powerful economic forces promoting its use.

However, more than 45 million American adults still smoke, more than 8 million are living with a serious illness caused by smoking, and about 438,000 Americans die prematurely each year as a result of tobacco use.

Efforts to implement proven interventions must be continued and expanded.

The Student Shout : No More Heavy School Bags

Every year by the start of a new semester the students suffering renewed with "The Heavy School Bag" . Although it is not a new problem ,but we must take it on consideration .

A lot of students complain about the weight of school bag which affected deeply in their health. Researches recently showed that a huge number of students are suffering from problems were not infected by before such as curvature of the spine moreover neck pain and muscles and back pain. As any problem there must be some reasons that caused it such as the wrong usage of school. Moreover the instability of school schedule which forced students to bring all their books to avoid missing their lessons, also another reason is curriculum . As a result of this problem parents become afraid about their children's health condition.

To reduce this problem there are some practical suggestions like as organizing the school schedule, making cabinets for books, so students can put some of their books in. As a result they will carry fewer books in their bags. Furthermore, doing electronic copies of educational subjects might help in reducing this problem.

Also showing the students the correct way for carrying the school bag.

To sum up, to make this problem disappear there must be cooperation between school, parents and students themselves since all of them a part in the problem.

How long will continue this series??

Recently ,all the newspaper in Oman talks about very serious problem which has been increased in our country in fantasy way .T hat I think most of us know ,without any doubt it’s the validity of fraud food.

After all this years we discovered that we were shafted by those people or ''monsters'' who call themselves human (salesmen). They were sold us fake products. Of course all of us are asking ourselves. Who is responsible for this tragedy? Is it the traders or consumer himself?

You will surprise that both of them are responsible. May be you are wondering how the consumer can be reason for this disaster .The answer of this wondering is because of his neglect. To explain more, we realized that most of people don’t care about the expiration date of a product. that thing makes the salesmen over and over in exploitation and cheating us. Furthermore, it is because there was no specialized organization in inspection of quality of products.

In last year our country makes a serious step to make an end for this tragedy by creating consumer body protection.  It started the work by doing campaigns for inspection around Oman. Lately the Oman daily newspaper shows that there was coalition for more than 4500 bottle and 348 Kg of food with end date.  We hope to see more in the future.
