More than a half dozen people age 16 and under have been severely injured or died on the railroad tracks in the past week. Unfortunately, injuries like this happen every year about this time. Spring somehow encourages us to be bold, to step out, to get there sooner. While bold action is admired in some cases, haste and bold action can get you killed when it comes to railroad tracks. A 6,000-ton train does not know spring from summer or winter. Here are a few important tips that could save your life: Trains, while large and bulky, don 8217;t make a lot of noise. Modern trains are quieter than ever, with no telltale 8220;clickety-clack. 8221; You can not always feel the vibration of an oncoming train. Don 8217;t expect vibrating rails or track beds to warn you of an approaching train in time to save your life. Because of its size, the average train takes a mile or more to stop. Trains overhang the rails on each side by at least three feet. Loose straps...

Ozone air purifiers have been the cause of much recent controversy. Put forth by many manufacturers as a safe and effective way to remove odors from your home, many brands, including Prozone air purifiers, have come under fire from other authorities on indoor air cleaners, who claim that ozone is unsafe. And, unfortunately for the manufacturers of these ozone air purifiers, it would seem that the evidence piling up against them is rather weighty. While many of us might not understand the workings of an ozone air purifier, we are all familiar with the term from environmentalists, who have been urging us for years to take steps against the depletion of the earth s natural protective shield, the ozone layer. But because this substance is an important part of our planet s outer atmosphere, this does not necessarily mean it is suitable for human exposure. And an increasing amount of evidence suggests that this is an argument in which ozone air purifiers...

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve - W. Clement Stone Like any learned skill, there are certain basics that must be mastered first. The very bedrock upon which all health and fitness achievement rests are thoughts. Everything man-made in the world or any action you ve taken in the past all started with a thought. There is not one man-made object or goal that didn t start as a thought in someone s head that was then made into reality. Your toaster, your TV, your automobile, your desire for better health. A single thought ultimately transformed into physical reality. In order to achieve any health or fitness goal you must start with this basic concept; thoughts are things. Thoughts are the foundation upon which you build the framework for attainment of your goal. Every thought has a physical manifestation in our bodies; every thought produces physical substances called neuro-transmitting enzymes that have instant effects...

Shoulda, woulda, coulda -- those words had been the essence of my life and so many other people s lives, too. Now I ve learned that life really isn t about those words at all, and it isn t about easy. Instead, each of our lives is about will and won t and do and don t, and the rewards that come from taking charge of our lives. Our lives are up to us, as individuals. We are the ones in charge, whether we take that responsibility or not. So the question is, are we going to live a life by accident, a life by default, or will we have a plan, a path, a purpose. Will we end up where we want to be by intent or nowhere by accident. Will we blame others and external forces for the place we are in, or will we take charge and define by choice who we are, where we are going, and what we are doing. The choice belongs to each of us. While my life interiors have often been a mishmash of uncoordinated elements, I have finally found my style and created a life of...
