5 Signs That It Is Time to Quit Your Job

5 Signs That It Is Time to Quit Your Job Image via: www.pexels.com You’re not passionate anymore Going to work sucks. There’s no doubt about that. However, when you find yourself literally dreading the thought of going to work each day, that is not a life worth living. Sure, the benefits might be fantastic. Sure, the salary might be amazing. Sure, there might be a million chances for advancement right at your fingertips. Sure, you might think that only an idiot would give up this job, but you’re wrong. If you’re forcing yourself to go to a place you absolutely hate, you’re wasting precious time that you could be using to go and do something you love. The right job will have your head swimming deep in an ocean of excitement and possibility, knowing that you’re in the right place at the right time. At the wrong job, you’ll be drowning. Your health is at risk This cannot be stressed enough. Your health and wellbeing are more valuable and more crucial than any paycheck. Stress and negative vibes can have a greater toll on your physical and mental health than you may think. Stress can weaken your immune system, leaving you to develop consistent colds and illnesses. It can also upset your stomach and give you horrible headaches. You could eventually develop a mental illness, like depression, as a result of the neglect of your personal health. You will be spending 40 hours per week in an environment that’s killing you only to come home and suffer from these symptoms that are literally killing you. No raise or fancy title is worth that. At the same time, feeling so terrible will result in your taking time off from work and using up all of your sick days. Even though the freedom of a day off feels nice, it will become a burden when it comes time to ask your employer for a reference. Instead, take a permanent sick day: a resignation. Image via: www.pexels.com You’re in a toxic environment The way your coworkers and employers treat you has a greater impact on you than you might think. If the coworkers are constantly negative and sprouting negativity upon you, you are going to eventually absorb it no matter how hard you try to resist. If your employer constantly manipulates you and makes you miserable, then that treatment will begin to resonate within you. You might have taken this up with Human Resources already and you might have already initiated the little pow-wow between these individuals, but if things haven’t changed, it isn’t your responsibility to settle for it. If this goes beyond toxic behavior and begins to look like verbal abuse, illegal actions, and/or sexual harassment, nothing more needs to be said. Get out. Now. You spend more time complaining about your job than anything Take a moment and think about recent conversations that you’ve shared with your friends and family members. More likely than not, your hatred for your job has probably slipped off of your tongue more than once or more than you’d like to admit. It’s understandable to complain about something that happened at work every once in a while. Let’s be honest here. We all have our days but look at it this way. The fact is that one of the first things that strikes your mind whenever you’re interacting with someone is how much you hate your job. That should tell you not only how much you hate your job, but how much you dwell on how much you hate your job. Being that we’re only given this one life to live, don’t spend most of it loathing. Do yourself a favor. Send out that notice and burn your suitcase (figuratively). Image via: www.pexels.com You’re reading this article You didn’t search for this article on accident. You didn’t click on it by mistake. You sought it out on your own to find a way to justify leaving your position. Well, here it is. Here lies your justification right here. If you went as far as to debate about whether or not quitting your job is a good idea to the point that you’re seeking the opinions of other writers, like myself, then it is definitely time to send out that notice and get to searching for something that fulfills you. Good luck!

Sports-Related Head Injuries Linked to Serious Brain Condition Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)

Sports-Related Head Injuries Linked to Serious Brain Condition Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of fiber tracts in the brain (image courtesy of Wikipedia) In 2009, Ann C. McKee, MD et al. published a scientific paper in the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology entitled Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in Athletes: Progressive Tauopathy following Repetitive Head Injury.  Dr. McKee and her research team at The Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy had done (and still do) some of the world’s leading work in brain trauma research in athletes. The paper was a review of 47 verified cases of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). There are a great many neurological and behavioral symptoms listed by the paper that define CTE, making the claim that the condition is its own form of tauopathy. (Tauopathy is a form of brain degeneration caused by the build-up of tau proteins. We’ll talk a little bit more about tau proteins later.) Isolating CTE as a unique brain condition is perhaps the paper’s achievement: We demonstrate that although CTE shares many features of other neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, post-encephalitic Parkinsonism, and the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinson’s-dementia complex of Guam (ALS/PDC), CTE is a neuropathologically distinct, progressive tauopathy with a clear environmental etiology. CTE is not unique to athletes, but it is certainly prevalent in contact sports. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) suffered on the field can eventually lead to CTE. In the 2006 scientific paper entitled The Epidemiology and Impact of Traumatic Brain Injury: A Brief Overview published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, Jean A. Langlois, Sc.D., M.P.H., Wesley Rutland-Brown, M.P.H. and Marlena M. Wald, MLS, M.P.H. reported that current data on TBIs around the country are probably underestimating the actual number of cases: Sports and recreation activities are also a major cause of TBI, including concussions, and are severely underestimated using existing national data sets. Although a previous Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study estimated that approximately 300,000 such injuries occur each year, it included only TBIs for which the person reported a loss of consciousness. Other studies suggest that injuries involving loss of consciousness may account only for between 8% and 19.2% of sports-related TBIs. Taking this into account, a more accurate approximation may be that 1.6 million to 3.8 million sports-related TBIs occur each year. CT scan of brain with cerebral contusions, hemorrhage within hemispheres, subdural hematoma and skull fractures (image courtesy of Wikipedia) The article also made it clear that people who suffer these TBIs are at a much higher risk of developing other health conditions including epilepsy and Alzheimers disease. There are, however, non-physical cognitive ailments that pose a unique problem for recognition. CTE and depression, for example, may not reveal obvious physical problems and can thus go undetected until it is too late. Such was the case for Dave Duerson, Junior Seau and Derek Boogaard, just three of the many athletes who suffered from the condition. Duerson, a former Chicago Bear and New York Giant, killed himself in 2011. He shot himself in the heart. Before doing so, he requested through multiple avenues to have his brain preserved for research. He left it in his suicide note and in a text to his ex-wife. This reinforces what writer Ed Pilkington noted in an article for The Guardianthat Duerson knew he had a problem. In the article, Pilkington interviewed Dr. McKee (the same Dr. McKee from the 2009 paper cited earlier) at the NFLs brain bank (The Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy) in the Bedford VA medical center in Massachusetts as she was examining a brain that used to belong to a very skilled NFL player, but whose identity would remain anonymous. Her evaluation of said brain was that repeated blows to the head had reduced its size and removed key filaments. Later, she pulled up slides of Duersons brain on her laptop. They showed the buildup of tau, that abnormal protein that is formed in the brain after repeated trauma. Tau proteins essentially block the function of neurons and can spread to surrounding areas, eventually destroying functionality. Although tau is a damaging characteristic of brain trauma and can be detected in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, it does not necessarily correlate with CTE and cannot, therefore, serve as a dependable diagnostic. In an NBC News article centered on former NFL linebacker Junior Seau, more of the same was found. Seau committed suicide in 2012 just like Duerson: a gunshot to the chest, preserving his brain for research. As the article by Maggie Fox stated, an autopsy showed he had CTE. Seau, like others before and after him, died young. One can’t help but wonder what would happen to these former-athletes if they went on living with CTE into later ages. And, if they did, what sort of psychological and behavioral challenges they would face on day-to-day basis. Would the tauopathy completely destroy their cognitive capacity? Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett underwent brain scans last year that showed he had signs of CTE. Dorsett, now 59, had recalled bouts of memory loss and admitted that his “quality of living has changed drastically and it deteriorates every day.” Derek Boogaard (image courtesy of Wikipedia) In a 2011 article for Time, Jeffrey Kluger reviewed yet another victim of sports-related brain damage: hockey player Derek Boogaard. His death was not directly caused by CTE as Duerson’s and Seau’s were, but Boogaard was diagnosed postmortem. He died from an overdose of alcohol and oxycodone, taken, perhaps, in an effort to alleviate some of his suffering. Kluger defines CTE in his own words: a brain condition similar to Alzheimers disease but caused by nothing more mysterious than getting hit too much. Kluger later reiterated the hardest part about brain disorders such as CTEnamely that the condition cannot be properly diagnosed until the patients brain can be sliced open after their death. Those afflicted may experience any number of symptoms including memory loss, intense depression and general cognitive distress. The University of Rochester Medical Center is working on multiple projects on traumatic brain injury, but interestingly, one project is looking at non-concussion-causing head blows. It is well-known at this point that repeated concussions cause serious cognitive issues, yet with this other project, Jeffrey J. Bazarian, M.D., M.P.H. wants to look at the everyday, seemingly harmless hits that football players experience. Using special sensors inside the helmets of University of Rochester football players, Dr. Bazarian could compare readings before and after the players season. This study is vastly important because, as the lab says on their site, while the neurologic risks of concussion are just beginning to be appreciated, the risks posed by cumulative sub-concussive head blows are potentially much larger, as they affect virtually every athlete involved in contact sports on an almost daily basis. The findings could call for more preventative actions in contact sports and likely freak out parents of young athletes everywhere. Practically, you may not be able to take the hits out of the games, but there may be ways to manage potential trauma. After all, as we’ve just learned from Dr. Bazarian, multiple seemingly minor head blows can add up to irreversible, life-changing damage. Even a concussion, something that used to be treated as a laughable incident (how many fingers am I holding up?), is now seen as a serious injury. Even the world of medicine is seeing them in a whole new light. “Scientifically, what were seeing is there is actually a change in the electrical activity of the brain that can last weeks or months,” says Dr. Neil Martin, chairman of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. It seems, then, sitting out for the rest of the game is not treatment enough for even the simplest of concussions. Risking another hit, in the long run, may prove fatal. UFC logo (image courtesy of Wikipedia) The danger is real, especially since many head injuries in contact sports go undiagnosed and untreated, as current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones reflected on in a Fox Sports article from last week. “I saw those lights,” Jones said. “Now that I’m older I realize that those lights were probably some type of concussion.” This is the threat Dr. McKee and other brain trauma experts are talking about. Concussions are dangerous on their own, but if gone unnoticed or are not treated properly they can develop into CTE and other serious brain conditions. In an interview with Jeffrey Brown of PBS, Dr. McKee admitted there are still a lot of questions out there regarding CTE. And when working in a field (science) that demands overwhelming evidence to accept alternative hypotheses, questions leave room for doubt and further studies: A key question remains, what’s the incidence and prevalence? How common is this disorder? And that, we will never establish from an autopsy study. For that, we really need to be able to identify this disease in living individuals. And that’s a huge focus of our more recent research. How can we identify this in people that are living? And that might be through MRI scans or PET scans and especially the ones that might peg the [tau] protein that develops. But we are really going to need those tests to be able to determine if a living person has this disease and then be able to measure that person’s exposure to head trauma. And that will be the defining moment. And that will probably take a longitudinal prospective study involving probably thousands of subjects. These are the questions that Dr. McKee and her peers in brain trauma research are faced with. The next logical step, it seems, would be working towards preventative measures. After all, we cant very well cancel sports Well, Reebok might have made a step in the right direction with a new product called the Checklight. It is a skullcap worn under the helmet but has force detectors attached and will light yellow for a moderate hit and red for a severe hit. Although they make it clear that the product is not a concussion diagnostic, the light indicators can give players, parents and coaches more information about the severity of hits and allow them to make the best decisions with that new information. Today, over 400 living athletes have promised to give their brain up for trauma research.

5 Steps to Taking Control of Your Time

5 Steps to Taking Control of Your Time 5 Steps to Taking Control of Your Time Unfortunately most students don’t learn until college that studying the night before is not studying in advance. It is crucial that students practice organizational skills and follow an intensive planner starting as early as middle school. The planners help students prepare for and anticipate their upcoming tests, quizzes and assignments and a completed schedule will show the students the reality of time and the necessity of time management. Well-constructed planners also help to bring down a student’s anxiety level once everything is on paper and not floating around in their heads causing confusion.1. Brain dumpBefore you write-down and organize a to-do list, pull out a piece of paper and just start writing everything you need to accomplish. Don’t worry about organizing the tasks just get everything on the paper. 2. Invest in the last planner you will ever useOnce you have everything written down you must invest in a planner and the planner I recommend goes above and beyond the duties of a normal planner. The planner I recommend can be found on Amazon and is called Tools4Wisdom Planner. This planner incorporates monthly planning, goal setting, steps to achieving your goals and much more. Once you have the planner start by picking out the big dates and incorporating them into your planner.3. Set reasonable goals every week and prioritizeAfter filling in your calendar and the big picture of your schedule you can begin looking at your to-do list and choosing which ones to make a priorities and goals for the week. 4. Write down action steps for accomplishing goalsFor each goal write down exactly what steps you will take in order to accomplish that goal in your allotted time frame. This will go in the completion steps box in the lower left hand corner of the page in the picture below.5. Now get to workNow that you know what you have to do and the time frame you have to do it in, it’s time to get to work. Start with the highest priority on your to-do list or with the first step towards the completion of your goal or desired outcome for the week.

3 Life Lessons the Food Network has Taught Me

3 Life Lessons the Food Network has Taught Me FN personalities.Courtesy of: http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/grub/2012/05/11 As they say in Family Guy, it seems today, like all you seeis sex on TV. But. The Food Network defys this rule. Its the best part about cable, and it doesnt feature any crude material.  It makes viewers hungry, inspired, and slightly jealous; but it also teaches many life lessons to those craving wisdom about life. 1. Dont mess around at your job, you might be on caught on camera. Restaurant Stakeout with host Willie StegelCourtesy of: http://theashleysrealityroundup.com Cue Restaurant Stakeout and Mystery Diners! Both of these shows involve hidden cameras and the things employees do when they think their manager isnt looking. Lets put it this way, the situation never ends up too good for the employees, and sometimes it even ends up getting people fired on the spot for their bad behavior, i.e. a valet person stealing a Mercedes to do a delivery order. I know first hand from working at a nice grocery store that cameras are in every building built after the new  millennium.  The less conspicuous and sketchy activity you do at work, the better off you will be. 2. Always try to make fresh food. Iron Chef America and Chopped make us all want to bring out our inner ninja chef. But most people dont want to spend more than five minutes dealing with food, unless its prepared and ready to cook. Fresh food can get a little expensive, I understand. However, at least produce is not too extravagantly priced, (just DONT go for organic kinds, they are not worth the high price).   Pasta with onions and herbs.Courtesy of: http://www2.worldpub.net/images/saveurmag/ A tip: try herbs (parsley, oregano) or white onions on spaghetti for an extra kick of flavor that regular pasta sauce does not provide on its own. 3. Explore food and its cultures. It might be scary at first, but Guy Fiari makes a living doing so. In his show Diners, Drive-ins Dives, he travels as far away as Portland for fresh, organic food, and as close as Cincinnati  to eat hometown chili. Eating food from all over gives insight into different cultures and makes you think more creatively about what kinds of food you can make. I.e. if you have had Cincinnati chili, you might want to try and make it yourself now that you have had it somewhere else. And there you have it, kiddos. Watch the FN and not only will you learn how to cook and appreciate food, but you will learn that sometimes certain foods are worth waiting for. Enjoy your food!
