How to protect your eyes when you use the
computer

post from Heal From the Ground Up on 13 March 2010 10:41:00 PM. © Heal From the Ground Up

Protect your eyes when you use the computer and look away at a distance from time to time. Your eyes are in a relaxed state when you are looking at a distance. Poor posture is especially a problem for those who use laptops because of its low position. Poor posture puts a high strain on the neck, spinal column and compresses your abdomen (abdominal breathing is essential to healthy vision). A good rule of thumb is to position the active part of the screen (not the top of the monitor) slightly above eye level.

First up, if you don’t already drink plenty of water then start. The body needs water to stay hydrated and to perform important functions. Extra water aids in the breakdown of fat cells. It also helps carry nutrients into cells and helps the transport of vitamins and minerals. The more exercise you do the more [...]

Drupalese and Nursese: help or hinder

post from Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD on 13 March 2010 05:10:00 PM. © Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD

As I repeatedly wade into the blue Drupal waters and then run out again (the water's hot) I note ongoing conversations at Drupalversity, Drupal dojo, Drupal-kata and similar forums about the challenge of learning Drupal. (I know the cure. That - is so simple, just do it: CREATE A SITE!)

On Drupalversity a comment by Becky Kinney caught my attention as Becky also refers to Drupalese. There's been discussion about how learners can make progress getting to grips with Drupal, but then because they lack prerequisite knowledge and skills the learning materials / instructions lapse into Drupalese.

Coming to Drupal is like nursing in so far as experiential learning is helpful. Any programming experience may help (or hinder), at the very least newbies (do I hate that term?) will be familiar with how websites appear to work, in the same way that would-be nurses are aware of the effects of infection, trauma, basic healing processes and treatments, what it feels like to be 'sick' to some degree, symptoms and signs. There's a point though that with a burgeoning new vocabulary of nursing, medical and care terms this challenge also becomes Nursese.

That reference above to help or hinder is a little like nurses who work as care support workers initially. There is a risk (which should not exist these days) that prior to starting formal nurse training they may pick up bad habits. Drupal is no different in the sense that it is complex and there are several ways to achieve the same outcome, but which is the most effective, efficient, future proof, safe and secure. ...?

Hodges' model can help nurse learners, but what about Drupal learners - this one included?

Not a chance.

A conceptual framework is not going to help here. While Hodges' model does have socio-technical credentials, it is no software engineering shoe-horn, life jacket...

It will take (several) new Drupal websites to exercise the beast, my mind, fingers and what I hope is a potential community out there. Time for another paddle!

BOTOX(R) (OnabotulinumtoxinA) Receives FDA
Approval for Treatment of Upper Limb Spasticity in Adults

IRVINE, Calif., Mar 09, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Allergan, Inc. (NYSE: AGN) today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved BOTOX^(R)(onabotulinumtoxinA) for the treatment of increased muscle stiffness in the elbow, wrist and fingers in adults with upper limb spasticity.

Spasticity is a debilitating condition impacting approximately 1 million Americans¹, many of whom suffer from spasticity in the upper limbs following a stroke. Upper limb spasticity may also occur following a spinal cord or traumatic brain injury or in patients affected by multiple sclerosis or adults with a history of cerebral palsy.

Although not a life-threatening condition, upper limb spasticity can be severely debilitating and painful, producing disfiguring muscle contractions that can result in stiff, tight muscles in the elbow, wrist and fingers, or a clenched fist. This stiffness hinders a patient's ability to perform simple tasks, such as dressing or washing the hand, and often leaves the patient dependent on a caregiver to help with simple activities.
