Emotionally intelligent

What qualities make someone emotionally intelligent?
This type of wisdom is founded on five basic abilities:
+ You have to be aware of your own emotions and able to recognize what you're feeling at a given time.
+ You must be able to manage those emotions and how you act on them.
+ You should know how to motivate yourself and persist in the face of obstacles.
+ You need to be able to recognize and understand other people's feelings (you must have empathy).
+ You have to be able to build and maintain healthy relationships on the job and with friends, partners, and family members.
How can I improve my emotional intelligence?
Goleman says there are four ways:
+ Learn to recognize your own feelings by taking a step back from them: Observe an emotion and the reaction it produces within you.
Practice naming your emotions and identifying their real causes. (Anger, for example, may spring from jealousy or insecurity.) Some people find that writing down their deepest feelings in a journal helps them identify what's really going on inside.

+ Work on managing your feelings to avoid violent or destructive outbursts. It's also important to know which feelings are appropriate to express in a particular situation. The idea is not to suppress your emotions, but rather to be able to keep your feelings in perspective and avoid being hijacked by them. (If you have a generally negative outlook, you might want to read psychologist Martin Seligman's book "Learned Optimism." It offers valuable advice on developing genuine-not Pollyannaish-optimism, which can change the way you deal with the inevitable setbacks and obstacles).

+ Realize that communication involves a lot more than what is said.
Empathy, or understanding what other people are feeling, can be developed through listening carefully and observing people's body language and facial expressions. To become a better listener, Goleman suggests you adopt a learning partner and practice listening to each other, then rephrasing what you hear and repeating that to your partner until you get it right. The idea is to hear the feelings behind the words.

+ Deepen your connections to other people. Successful relationships depend on many skills, including the capacity to empathize, the ability to talk about your feelings, the patience to listen, and the ability to calm yourself down before discussing a problem with someone.

When is the best time to learn these emotional skills?
Like many skills, a facility with emotions is fostered most easily during childhood. Goleman believes that teaching emotional skills in schools would give children an enormous advantage as they go through life. Moreover, he argues, violence in today's society comes at least in part from people acting on impulse after being hijacked by their emotions. Teaching self-restraint and compassion along with math and history could go a long way toward combating society's ills.

stay sharp

Healthy habits can help you stay sharp
By Kathleen Fackelmann, USA TODAY
Ask any adult over the age of 50 about memory loss, and you're likely to hear a lot of complaints. Starting in mid-life, the brain's ability to remember names, multi-task or learn something new starts to go downhill.
There's no smart pill to ward off that age-related decline, but experts increasingly say that lifestyle factors such as physical activity, challenging hobbies and lots of friends or social engagements might help keep the brain more nimble and fit as it ages.
Those protective factors are listed in a report funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.
One author of that report, Marilyn Albert of Johns Hopkins University, says seniors who adopt those healthy habits might also be lowering their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, a degenerative brain disease that afflicts 4.5 million people in the USA.
"We're learning now there are things that people can do to lower their risk," says Albert, who also is a spokesperson for the Chicago-based Alzheimer's Association.
Work out
Studies suggest regular physical activity seems to protect against cognitive decline, possibly by spurring the production of natural chemicals that protect brain cells.
There's no consensus on what type of exercise is best, but Christine Himes Fordyce of the Group Health Cooperative in Seattle says even modest exercise can help keep the brain alert. "Walking just three times a week for 20 minutes can diminish your chances of getting dementia, including Alzheimer's," she says.
For seniors who are in good shape, Albert recommends dancing, swimming or even playing a round of golf — provided you walk the course.
Stay curious
Research on animals and humans suggests mentally challenging activities such as playing bridge, learning a new language or even blogging might help build new connections in the brain, says Molly Wagster at the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health.
To get the most benefit, Fordyce suggests seniors pick an activity that provides them with a challenge, such as learning a language or taking classes at the local university or senior center. Even learning to use a computer or a cellphone can be a challenge for someone who has never used the latest gadgets before, she says.
Stay connected
Seniors who join a book club or some other social activity must use their brain to interact with other people and that seems to shield it from a decline in function, Fordyce says. Researchers don't know whether regular social contact builds a better brain or simply reduces stress, which can harm the brain.
What the research can't offer is a one-size-fits-all prescription. Albert says seniors should pick activities they enjoy.
"Figure out what works for you, and then do it," she says.

Eye Infection

Eye Infection with Pus (Bacterial)
Description
+ yellow discharge in the eye
+ eyelids stuck together with pus, especially after sleeping
+ dried eye discharge on the upper cheek
+ white part of eyes may or may not have some redness or pinkness
+ eyelids usually puffy due to irritation from the infection.
This condition is also called bacterial conjunctivitis, runny eyes, or mattery eyes.
Note: A small amount of cream-colored mucus in the inner corner of the eyes after sleeping is normal.
Cause
Eye infections with pus are caused by bacteria and can be a complication of a cold. Pink eyes without a yellow discharge, however, are more common and are due to a virus.
Expected Course
With proper treatment the yellow discharge should clear up in 72 hours. The red eyes (which are due to the cold) may persist for several more days
+ Home Care +
1. Cleaning the eye

Before putting in any medicines, remove all the pus from the eye with warm water and wet cotton balls. Unless this is done, the medicine will not have a chance to work.
2. Antibiotic eyedrops or ointments

Bacterial conjunctivitis must be treated with an antibiotic eye medicine. Putting eyedrops or ointment in the eyes of young children can be a real battle. Ideally it's done with two adults. One person can hold the child still while the other person opens the eyelids with one hand and puts in the medicine with the other. One person can do it alone if she sits on the floor holding the child's head (face up) between the knees to free both hands to put in the medication.
If your physician has prescribed antibiotic eyedrops, put two drops in each eye every 2 hours while your child is awake. Do this by gently pulling down on the lower lid and placing the drops there. As soon as the eyedrops have been put in the eyes, have your child close them for 2 minutes so the eyedrops will stay inside. If it is diff
icult to separate your child's eyelids, put the eyedrops over the inner corner of the eye while he is lying down. When your child opens his eye and blinks, the eyedrops will flow in. Continue the eyedrops until your child has awakened two mornings in a row without any pus in the eyes.
If your physician has prescribed antibiotic eye ointment, the ointment needs to be used just four times a day because it can remain in the eyes longer than eyedrops. Separate the eyelids and put in a ribbon of ointment along the lower eyelid from one corner of the eye to the other. If it is very difficult to separate your child's eyelids, put the ointment on the edges of the eyelids. As the ointment melts from body heat, it will flow onto the eyeball. Continue until two mornings have passed without any pus in the eye.
3. Contact lenses
Children with contact lenses need to switch to glasses temporarily. This will prevent damage to the cornea.
4. Contagiousness
The pus from the eyes can cause eye infections in other people if they get some of it on their eyes. Therefore, it is very important for the sick child to have his own washcloth and towel. He should be encouraged not to touch or rub his eyes because it can make his infection last longer. Touching his eyes also puts a lot of germs on his fingers. Your child's hands should be washed often to prevent spreading the infection.
After using eyedrops for 24 hours, and if the pus is minimal, children can return to day care or school.

Call Your Physician Immediately If:
The outer eyelids become very red or swollen.
The vision becomes blurred.
Your child starts acting very sick.
Call Your Physician During Office Hours If:
The infection isn't cleared up after 3 days of treatment.
Your child develops an earache.
You have other concerns or questions.

Avian influenza – Rapid spread

Rapid geographical spread of the virus
The occurrence of the disease in India, reported on 18 February, is part of a recent pattern of rapid geographical spread of the virus in wild and domestic birds. India is one of 13 countries that have reported their first cases of H5N1 infection in birds since the beginning of February. (The 13 countries, listed in order of reporting, are Iraq, Nigeria, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Iran, Austria, Germany, Egypt, India and France.)
On 20 February, Malaysia reported a fresh outbreak in poultry after having been considered free of the disease for more than a year.
The situation in these recently affected countries varies greatly. Most European countries with good veterinary surveillance have detected the virus in a small number of wild birds only, with no evidence to date of spread to domestic birds.
In Azerbaijan, detection of the virus has coincided with die-offs of domestic birds. In Egypt, outbreaks in domestic poultry have now been confirmed in 10 governorates; deaths have also been reported in exotic zoo birds. In Iraq, presence of the virus in birds was found only after the country confirmed its first human case.
In Nigeria, as in India, the first cases were detected in large commercial farms, where the disease is highly visible and outbreaks are difficult to miss.
Apart from Iraq, none of the countries newly affected during February has reported human cases. Iraq has reported two human cases, both of which were fatal; samples from several other patients are currently undergoing tests.
For human health, experience elsewhere over the past two years has shown that the greatest risk of cases arises when the virus becomes established in small backyard flocks, which allow continuing opportunities for close human contact, exposures, and infections to occur.
All available evidence indicates that the virus does not spread easily from poultry to humans. To date, very few cases have been detected in poultry workers, cullers, or veterinarians. Almost all cases have been linked to close contact to diseased household flocks, often during slaughtering, defeathering, butchering, and preparation of poultry for consumption.
No cases have been linked to the consumption of properly cooked poultry meat or eggs, even in households where disease was known to be present in flocks.

avian flu in cats

H5N1 avian influenza in domestic cats
28 February 2006
Authorities in Germany have today announced detection of H5N1 avian influenza in a domestic cat. The cat was found dead over the weekend on the northern island of Ruegen. Since mid-February, more than 100 wild birds have died on the island, and tests have confirmed H5N1 infection in several.
There is no present evidence that domestic cats play a role in the transmission cycle of H5N1 viruses. To date, no human case has been linked to exposure to a diseased cat. No outbreaks in domestic cats have been reported.
Unlike the case in domestic and wild birds, there is no evidence that domestic cats are a reservoir of the virus. All available evidence indicates that cat infections occur in association with H5N1 outbreaks in domestic or wild birds.
Experimental studies, published in September 2004, demonstrated that the H5N1 virus can infect domestic cats, and that cats can transmit the virus to other cats. In these experiments, the cats developed disease following direct inoculation of virus isolated from a fatal human case, and following the feeding of infected raw chicken.
The current H5N1 panzootic in birds, which began in mid-2003 in parts of South-East Asia, has been accompanied by a few anecdotal reports of H5N1 infection in domestic cats. In all such reports, eating raw infected poultry was considered the most likely source of infection for the cats.
Several published studies have demonstrated H5N1 infection in large cats kept in captivity. In December 2003, two tigers and two leopards, fed on fresh chicken carcasses, died unexpectedly at a zoo in Thailand. Subsequent investigation identified H5N1 in tissue samples.
In February 2004, the virus was detected in a clouded leopard that died at a zoo near Bangkok. A white tiger died from infection with the virus at the same zoo in March 2004.
In October 2004, captive tigers fed on fresh chicken carcasses began dying in large numbers at a zoo in Thailand. Altogether 147 tigers out of 441 died of infection or were euthanized. Subsequent investigation determined that at least some tiger-to-tiger transmission of the virus occurred. who
