High Blood / Hypertension

Hypertension or High Blood is a condition in which the person is subjected to increased blood pressure is above normal or chronic (long periods). Hypertension is a disorder that is difficult to know by our own bodies. The only way to know hypertension is to measure your blood pressure regularly.



Note 9 of 10 people suffering from hypertension can not be identified the cause of his illness. That is why hypertension is called silent killer or the silent killer. Someone had felt the impact of severity of hypertension when there have been complications. So just realize when it has led to organ disorders such as disturbances of heart function, coronary, renal function, impaired cognitive function or stroke. Hypertension basically reduces the life expectancy of sufferers.

Besides hypertension caused high mortality rates (high case fatality rate) also have an impact on the expensive medications and treatments that must be borne by the patient. It should also be remembered for the reduction of hypertension also affect the quality of life.

Hypertension can actually be derived from parent to child. If one parent is affected by hypertension, the tendency of children to suffer from hypertension are higher than those who do not have parents Hypertension sufferers.

Diagnosis

In general, a person is said to suffer from hypertension if the systolic blood pressure / diastoliknya exceeds 140/90 mmHg (normal 120/80 mm Hg). Is the systolic blood pressure when the heart pumps blood into the arteries (when the heart contract). Is diastolic blood pressure when the heart expands and suck the blood back (empty deflating arteries).


Actually, the boundary between normal blood pressure and high blood pressure are unclear, so the classification of hypertension are based on high levels of blood pressure that lead to increased risk of heart disease and blood vessels.

According to WHO, in the last guidelines in 1999, limits the blood pressure is still considered normal is less than 130/85 mmHg, while if more than 140/90 mmHg is expressed as hypertension, and in between the TSB-called high-normal. (These limits are for adult individuals above 18 years).

Symptom

The occurrence mechanism of Hypertension Symptoms of hypertension include headache, flushing, headache, bleeding from the nose of a sudden, aching necks, and others. Impact that can be caused by hypertension is kidney damage, bleeding in the cornea (the retina), rupture of blood vessels in the brain, and paralysis.

Cause
Based on the cause, Hypertension can be classified into two namely:

1. Essential or primary hypertension

The exact cause of essential hypertension is still not yet known. However, various factors thought to have played a role as the primary cause of hypertension, such as increasing age, psychological stress, and heredity (descent). Approximately 90% of hypertensive patients classified as primary hypertension, while 10% is classified as secondary hypertension.

2. Secondary hypertension / li>

Secondary hypertension is hypertension that causes are known, among other abnormalities of blood vessels, kidney, thyroid disorders (hyperthyroidism), adrenal gland disease (hyperaldosteronism), and others. Because the largest group of patients with essential hypertension is hipertensia, then more investigation and treatment of patients with essential hypertension is intended to.

Based on the factor due to hypertension increases blood pressure in the arteries can occur in several ways:


- A stronger heart pumps that drain more fluid on every second

- There was thickening and stiffness in the artery walls due to advanced age. Large arteries lose elasticity and become rigid, so that they can not inflate when the heart pumps blood through the arteries. Hence the blood at each heart beat was forced to go through narrow vessels than usual and causes increased pressure.

- Increased fluid in the circulation can cause increased blood pressure. This occurs when there is renal dysfunction that can not throw some salt and water from the body. Blood volume in the body increases, so the blood pressure also increases.

Therefore, if the heart pumping activity is reduced, widening the artery experience, and plenty of fluids out of circulation. Then the blood pressure will decrease or become smaller.

Based on the trigger, which is not differentiated Hypertension can be controlled such as age, gender, and heredity. In 70-80% of cases of primary hypertension, history of hypertension was found in the family. When history of hypertension was found in both parents, the alleged primary hypertension is greater. Hypertension is also encountered in patients monozigot twins (one egg), when one of them suffered from hypertension. This conjecture is supported that genetic factors play a role in the occurrence of hypertension.

While that can be controlled, such as obesity, stress, lack of exercise, smoking, and alcohol and salt consumption. These environmental factors also influence the incidence of essential hypertension. The relationship between stress with hypertension, suspected by the sympathetic nervous activation. Sympathetic nerves are the nerves that work at the time we move, the parasympathetic nerves are nerves that work the moment we do not move.

Increased sympathetic nerve activity can increase blood pressure in intermittent (unpredictable). If prolonged stress, can cause high blood pressure settled. Although this has not been proven, but the incidence is higher in urban than in rural areas. This can be attributed to the influence of stress experienced by groups of people who lived in the city.

Based on the investigation, obesity is a characteristic of the population of Hypertension and proved that this factor has a strong correlation with the occurrence of hypertension in the future. Although not yet able to explain the relationship between obesity and essential hypertension, but the investigation proved that the power of the heart pumps blood volume and circulation of obese patients with hypertension is higher compared with patients who have normal weight.


Prevention

Hypertension can be prevented by setting a good diet and enough physical activity. Avoid habits such as smoking and consuming alcohol allegedly influential in increasing the risk of incidence of hypertension, although the mechanism is not known with certainty.


Treatment

Sport more associated with the treatment of hypertension, because isotonic exercise (such as cycling, jogging, aerobics) which may facilitate the orderly circulation of blood so it can reduce blood pressure. Exercise also can be used to reduce / prevent obesity and reduce salt intake into the body (the body will sweat out salt through the skin).

Treatment of hypertension in broad outline is divided into two types:

1. Non-drug treatment (non-pharmacological)
2. Treatment with medication (pharmacologic)


Non-drug treatment (non-pharmacological)

Non-pharmacological treatment can sometimes control the blood pressure so that the pharmacologic treatment becomes necessary or at least postponed. Whereas in cases where anti-hypertensive medications required, non-pharmacological treatment can be used as a complement to obtain better treatment effects.


Non-pharmacological treatment include the following:

1. Diets low in salt / cholesterol / saturated fat
2. Reduce salt intake into the body.

Advice on salt reduction, the patient must pay attention to eating habits. A drastic reduction of salt intake will be difficult. This treatment should not be used as a single treatment, but it's better used as a complement to pharmacological treatment.

3. Create a relaxed state

Various methods of relaxation such as meditation, yoga or hypnosis could control the nervous system which ultimately can lower blood pressure.

4. Exercise such as aerobics or brisk walking for 30-45 minutes as many as 3-4 times a week.

5. Quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption


Treatment with medication (pharmacologic)

Antihypertensive drugs. There are many types of antihypertensive drugs currently available. For the selection of appropriate drugs is expected to reach the doctor.

* Diuretics

Type diuretic drugs work by issuing body fluids (through urine) so that the volume of body fluids resulting in reduced cardiac pump power becomes lighter.

Example obatannya is hydrochlorothiazide.

* Inhibiting the sympathetic

This class of drugs works by inhibiting the activity of the sympathetic nerves (nerves that work when we move).

Example medicine are: Metildopa, Klonidin and Reserpin.


* Betabloker

Mechanism of action of anti-hypertensive drugs is through a reduction in cardiac pump power. Type betabloker not recommended in patients who have been known to suffer from respiratory disorders such as bronchial asthma.

Example medicine are: Metoprolol, propranolol and atenolol. In patients with diabetes mellitus have to be careful, because it can cover up symptoms of hypoglycemia (a condition in which blood sugar levels fall to very low which could result in harm to the sufferer). In the parents there are symptoms of bronchospasm (airway narrowing) so that drug administration should be careful.


* Vasodilators

These drugs work directly on blood vessels by relaxing smooth muscle (muscle of blood vessels). Included in this group are: Prasosin, Hidralasin. Side effects that may occur from drug administration are: headache and dizziness.


* Angiotensin conversion enzyme inhibitors

The workings of this class of drug is inhibiting the formation of angiotensin II substances (substances that can cause increased blood pressure).

Examples of drugs that belong to this class are captopril. Possible side effects include: dry cough, dizziness, headache and weakness.


* Calcium Antagonist

These drug classes reduce pump power of heart contractions by blocking the heart (contractility). Which include these drug classes are: nifedipine, and verapamil Diltiasem. Possible side effects include: constipation, dizziness, headache and vomiting.


* Angiotensin II receptor inhibitors

This is the way drugs work by blocking the attachment substance angiotensin II receptor resulting in lightness of heart pump power. Drugs that are included in this group is valsartan (Diovan). Possible side effects are: headache, dizziness, weakness and nausea.

With regular treatment and control, and avoiding risk factor for hypertension, the mortality rate due to disease can be suppressed.

Print Media fate Amid the Digital Age

If you're currently reading the newspaper, what is in your mind? Have you ever imagined what will happen to your favorite newspaper is present in the print edition of ten, twenty or forty years from now? Is it possible that we can still read the news pages of sheets of newspaper, while enjoying a cup of coffee are at home or office, the answer is "maybe yes" or "probably not".

Phillip Meyer is an author of books titled "The Vanishing Newspaper" predicts the last newspaper is published in April 2040. This can be seen from the start berjamurnya news presented in digital form as well as many interested persons.
Newspaper reading habits have become routine performed almost everybody, all the information scattered throughout the earth can be found simply by reading the news that has been summarized in a newspaper or magazine.

The presence of print media as well as community newspapers very helpful in finding the latest information such as, national and local news, health info, business info, job opportunities, supply of goods or services through advertising media, as well as many other positive things that can be obtained through the newspapers.

Internet Generation

Since the arrival of the internet, the pattern of life of the world community continues to change gradually. Society feels so spoiled by technology. Computer discovery, handphone, gadget, PDA, little by little has revolutionized the innocent face of our society.

Now we can see, how the internet provides a huge influence on the attitudes and actions of some of our communities, almost all urban communities have been very close to the internet, village communities are also beginning to be influenced by the circumstances that forced them to go forward with using technology.

The internet has been down the walls between the information so far can only browse through print media such as newspapers and magazines. Now by simply browsing through the computer devices or gadgets to use the Internet, we can find various types of information. There are thousands of sites scattered digital newspaper diinternet. The newspaper publisher has previously always been in the print edition of the newspaper. But due to competitive factors and to overcome the downturn, they are forced to share the news through the print and digital editions.

We can see how the collapse of the company's newspapers in the United States (U.S.), the incident was not caused by poor quality of journalism, but mostly due to reduction in the print edition of the newspaper buyers who mengakibatnya decrease in ad revenue through the print editions of newspapers, readers prefer to read newspapers in digital form through a computer or gadged media since news that appear tend to be new.

According to Nielsen Media Research survey in nine cities in Indonesia (population 43.87 million by age 10 years and over), in the third quarter 2009, the consumption of paper actually reached the lowest point in five years (beginning in 2005 reached 28 percent, but continued to decline residence 18 percent in the third quarter 2009). Magazine consumption went down from 20 percent to 11 percent, down from 20 percent tabloids to 13 percent). This proves how difficult the newspaper print edition today evolved.

As many as 34 percent of internet users are newspaper readers and 41 per cent of newspaper readers also access the local news from the Internet. Since 2006, the percentage of young Internet users continues to increase, from 12 percent to 20 percent (ages 10-14 years) and from 24 percent to 33 percent (ages 15-19 years), while for ages 20-29 years decreased from 40 percent to 30 percent (http://newspaper.pikiran-rakyat.com).

Advantages and disadvantages

Although the print media today seem drowned out by the presence of digital media. There are some inherent advantages and disadvantages of each media dimasing, as for the advantages of print media, namely,

1. The price is affordable by all people,
2. News submitted and are able to explain more fully,
3. Can be read many times by way of saving,
4. Easy to carry anywhere - where.



namely the lack of print media,
(1) news show is not the latest news (news yesterday).
(2) Cost to produce larger print than digital media,
(3) The time required to distribute print media tend to last longer.

Similarly, digital media, which has advantages and disadvantages. advantages of digital media, namely,

1. Information (news) can be delivered quickly,
2. Production costs tend to be cheaper.
3. Genesis of a news can be reported directly.



While the lack of digital media:

1. Can only be read in certain places, because they require supporting devices such as computers, gadgets and PDAs, some of which require an Internet connection to access a news site.
2. Not all people understand the use of computer media and so forth.



The presence of newspapers and magazines in print form has been so embedded in our social life, so that if the printed edition is no longer published, of course, will eliminate tadisi culture of reading newspapers and magazines in their entirety. The role of the local newspaper (local) for example, provides a huge contribution to regional development, in which newspapers were published. Citizens are also always in need of information on local news than national or international news.

We can only hope that the presence information through digital media will not give a great influence for the future development of the print media. The presence of both media are expected, could be a good complement deficiencies or excess. The public also will always hope that good news presented in the form of print and digital media, can provide a positive influence and beneficial to readers. Continue forward Indonesian print media.

Natural Resources and Environment (How The Two Sides of Currency)

In the management of natural resources is the main red thread is to prevent the emergence of a negative impact on the environment and strive to conserve natural resources to be used continuously for generations in the future. "Discussing about natural resources, can we divide them into two categories large, ie the natural resources that can be updated (such as forests, fisheries, etc.). And the natural resources that can not be updated, such as, petroleum, coal, tin, natural gas and other mining products. In this paper we will examine natural resources like minerals and it can not be updated. Talking about mining, tin is certainly one of them.

Moreover, lead is identical from a characteristic of a named Bangka Belitung province. Who does not know if we say our country is one of the tin-producing islands in the republic. However, talking about the management of mining products such as tin itself, it felt very embarrassed to see how the surface of this land have been destroyed and form pools, small pools to form such a small lakes. Especially needed are very expensive cost of land reclamation for at least reduce the adverse impacts on the future. Who will be blamed? It's not the question that we must charge.

But, how such a thing could happen and what should we do to provide the best solutions for the preservation of an environment. Maybe, if it is associated with poverty and how society should be thinking of filling "belly" thing is probably the main cause of population pushing the natural drain so damaging to the environment. If we observe that we can say there is a correlation between the number and kinds of natural resources with products for public consumption. The relationship can be seen that the greater the consumption patterns of society, the more resources will be managed and more varied consumption patterns of society, the more variety of natural resources also will be managed.

From the above mentioned problems, we can review and may need to be a question for us, why such a thing could happen? The answer is of course present in each of us to be more sensible to the environment before the environment itself that tells us that every natural disaster is caused by the human hand itself. We observe how a flood disaster that occurred in Aceh and North Sumatra are due to denudation of the National Park, Gunung Leuser, Alikodra (12/07/2006) or a clump of Sebalai own country, the last few weeks the flood which flooded the area Semabung, Pangkalpinang due nothing more to be absorbing the water in the surrounding area. Yet as we all know that forests have the ability to regulate watersheds, preventing erosion and flooding as well as maintaining soil fertility.

Speaking of natural resources must not be separated from the role of an appropriate technology for a sustainable environment. Therefore, employers must be able to choose the technology and production methods that could minimize the negative impact of the environment. Moreover, if we look at regional spatial planning policy was conducted in order to be able to create a balanced spatial use, optimal and environmentally sound manner for the benefit of the wider community. We can not close their eyes, how to use technology in the form of heavy equipment in the mining sector, which is seporadis chop down the forest to find the mines which sometimes result nil or 0%. To whom we will be responsible? Think about what can we leave behind for future generations and what can we say to them. Or environmental effects like this what will we inherit them?

End of a problem, of course will be finished with any possible solutions would be no follow-up to the front. First, governments should be more active in raising public awareness about the importance of the role of environment in human life through education in and outside school. Secondly, the need for inventory and evaluation of potential natural resources and environment. Third, increasing the potential benefits of research and development of forests, especially for the development of agriculture, industry and health. Fourth, the provision of Infrastructure and Natural Resources and Environment Spatial both on land, sea or air. Fifth, the need for EIA requirements on businesses that leads to life balance. Finally, the importance of education and joint partnership between Public Institutions in Managing the Environment and Natural Resources and the need to increase the ability of institutions and human resources management of natural resources and LH Apparatus. Because of good development is environmentally sound, although sometimes with the possibility of damage to be weighed and assessed the benefits and profits hurt by a decision taken full responsibility to future generations. Because future generations, did not participate in the decision making process is now in determining the use of natural resources from the fact we only lend them to the construction of the present with the impact of development in the later!

Pollution and Waste

Ever hear the two words above. Have surely? Yes the two words above are the words that describe the destruction of the environment. Pollution is pollution. Usually we associate this with the pollution of air pollution, but pollution is the name of everything from water pollution, air,

The average air pollution generated from motor vehicle exhaust gas or smoke factory. With the smoke, the air becomes dirty and we are inhaling it also will feel suffocated. Even if we pollute the air with the za-specific substances, can be a toxic air lho. We look at Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. Bebarapa time after the atom bomb exploded, we would know there was a large mushroom cloud soaring into the sky. Now it carries a mushroom cloud particles of radioactive dust that is very dangerous. A few days later after it lost a mushroom cloud, black rain and condensed water. The water was highly toxic lho. But the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced to drink it and they have predictable toxicity.

That's the danger of pollution that we are not aware of. In the meantime, we remain just out wastes that can menyebabkanpolusi. So it can be said if we continue to remove waste, the pollution would not be inevitable. For that we must be clever-clever existing wastewater treatment and trying hard to restore the natural resources that have been affected by pollution. In fact many ways to clean the affected water resource pollution.

To restore land that has been contaminated, we can make soil conservation. How? The trick is to greening. Plants can help enrich the soil and can absorb some of the chemicals in the soil. For water, we can do with advanced technology of water filtration or simple technologies. For advanced technology, it seems difficult for us ordinary people do it because it is expensive. So we should do a simple water filtration technology. The trick is to accumulate layers of sand, pebbles, and soil on a drum. Then the dirty water is inserted and if the water has flowed at the bottom of the drum, the water will be clean. Layers had been filtering out impurities in the water so the water can be clean again.

For that we must all participate in the struggle against waste and pollution for a better life. We have to find other technologies that can be used to reduce pollution in our environment.

Garbage Problem

Ever heard the fuss about Bantar Gebang garbage in the landfill? Communities around Bantargebang squeeze doubt by the existence of the landfill because the existence of a pile of garbage is very disturbing that so many lives. Water into the air also smells and odors. That is one of the many problems that can be generated waste.
Garbage is the remains of objects or goods that have been used in humans. Trash can be divided into two forms. The first inorganic and organic. Inorganic waste is waste that comes from objects that can not be described. Examples are plastic, cans, and others. While organic waste is waste that is formed from organic substances and can be described. Examples of this waste is the fallen leaves, paper, etc..
Maybe this waste problem, including trivial. But, if we realize that everyone is out of garbage and trash will eventually mounting number. We love to see piles of garbage at the curb foul-smelling. The stench is produced by decaying organic garbage. To overcome the problem of waste that more and more, people start thinking about a lot of ways. Starting from separating organic and inorganic waste to recycle garbage.
Sometimes we do not know what is the point separating the organic waste with the inorganic? The purpose is to facilitate further processing waste. Inorganic waste can not decompose and disappear from the earth quickly unlike organic waste. So the next processing is repeated to recycle other items. Other organic waste. Because it can decompose, organic waste is used as compost.
To recycle inorganic waste, we can make yourself at home or for a more professional more sophisticated equipment can be used in large factories. Garbage can be recycled itself is such a plastic bottle. Plastic bottles can be transformed into handicrafts and can be sold. Surely this will add to earnings. For a more professional management, usually a metal trash cans or metal form. Tin or iron was melted and then formed into another rage. This is to save the use of metal because it does not need to mine new metal.

6 Tips Computer Security Articles

Computer Security Articles!? maybe this is something that is often discussed in various articles on computers all over the blogs on the internet. I myself since my computer is connected to the internet has not even faced a serious problem with the name virus. Although never once made him dizzy

Well at least until the article was written for computer security!

According to me there are six things to be done so that we don tecinta computers affected or infected by a virus. Automatic computer security if we talk then we talked about how to prevent computer viruses.

While for computer security affairs from the thief's actions outside of this article yes: D Here only specialize utuk Internet viruses.

Here are six tips Computer Security article by Taufik Stars:

1. Use AntiVirus

Of course this is most important. Would not want anti-virus such as a guard that will prevent various kinds of viruses. Oh yes! If nggk have money ... please do not use pirated antivirus free antivirus use only. No less great kok eradicate the virus in the internet.

2. UPDATE!

Do not forget to always update to any computer security. Not only are anti virus updated. EVERYTHING! Operating systems in both, software and drivers installed. No software or software that is perfect .. there must be a security hole. Never trust a programmer who said "I sepurna Software in computer security"

To close the security hole that we must update and update. Because the virus is also always update and internet updates.

3. Be careful when browsing

Most viruses spread of internet porn sites and warez (mp3 illegal, pirated software, etc.). If ya do not want exposed to the virus do not get there. This is the best way to prevent computer viruses.

But I know you are addicted to such sites. So instead of it if there is a warning from your browser, it's better just ignore those sites. Or when visiting websites that the dialogue box will appear that its request to install something .. just been ignored.

Beware of such sites typically use puns like he was giving a gift to you. In fact it is an internet virus that can interfere with computer security.

4. Always scan files downloaded

Any files that you download even if it comes from a trusted website like this blog. That should be fixed with anti-virus scanned. For example when you download a free ebook, what do you believe that germ-free ebook mean uh virus free. Or when to get a free script script .. is it true that it's really safe.

Preventing it is always better than cure

5. Careful email

One of the Internet is a virus spread by email. Especially if you got an email that contains files such as EXE, VBS, BAT. Plus it was sent by strangers ... internet viruses might turn off the computer and reboot it and appears the message "Congratulations your hard drive capacity increases"

How not to grow, lha wong all files deleted.

6. Read on computer security articles

The development of a computer that runs like a panther ... very quickly. Maybe the computer security article you read a month ago is outdated era inedible. So on and keep reading the various articles such good computers in this blog: D

Benefits of the computer was indeed a lot. But at the same time also appeared to bother the things that computer security is maintained.

Diabetes, Sugar Honey's Disease

Diabetes, Sugar Honey's Disease

The number of people with diabetes in Indonesia according to WHO data in the year 2009 reached 8 million people and is predicted to increase to more than 21 million people in 2025. That's what makes Indonesia ranks four countries with the highest number of diabetics in the world. Survey of people with diabetes in Jakarta showed that one of eight people with diabetes. Both men and women, young and old, live in towns and villages, have the same risk of diabetes. What is diabetes? How symptoms of diabetes? What are the dangers of diabetes so it is often nicknamed "Sillent Killer" or "the Silent Killer"? Can diabetes be cured?


Diabetes Mellitus

The full name is diabetes mellitus diabetes, which means "sugar honey." The term "diabetes mellitus" comes from the Greek which, when translated means "flowing through the pipe to atmospheric pressure" and the Latin language which can be translated as "sweet as honey".

Understanding of Greek and Latin diabetes describing precisely. Because the water past the body of diabetic patients as if poured from the mouth through the urinary tract and directly out of the body. Diabetisi urine (diabetes), it was sweet because it contains sugar. First, one tests for diabetes is to pour into the patient's urine near an ant nest. If the insects that infest the urine, this indicates the existence of sugar. That is why diabetes is often referred to as diabetes.

What is Diabetes?

Every food we eat is converted into energy by the body. In the stomach and intestines, food elaborated into several basic elements, including one type of sugar, namely glucose. If there is sugar, the pancreas produces insulin, which helps drain the sugar into body cells. Then, the sugar can be absorbed well in the body and burned to produce energy.
Indonesia was ranked as the four countries with the highest number of diabetics in the world

When a person has diabetes, the pancreas that person can not produce enough insulin to absorb sugar obtained from food. That which causes blood sugar levels are high due to heaps of sugar from food that can not be absorbed well and burned into energy. Other causes are defective insulin or the body can not utilize insulin properly.

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, an organ next to the stomach. This hormone attaches itself to receptors on the cell wall. Insulin receptors on duty to open the cell wall so glucose enters the cell. Then these cells convert glucose into energy the body needs to do activities. In other words, insulin helps deliver sugar into cells so that transformed into energy. If the amount of insulin is not enough, it happened hoarding sugar in the blood causing diabetes.

The cause of diabetes or diabetes, depending on the type of diabetes who suffer. There are two common types of diabetes that affects many people are diabetes type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The difference is that if type 1 diabetes because of pancreatic organ function can not produce insulin, while type 2 diabetes because the problem is less the amount of insulin because the pancreas can not function properly.

Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is often called Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus or a Dependent Diabetes Mellitus on Insulin. Thus type 1 diabetes associated with pancreatic inability to make insulin. So this type of diabetes associated with damage or malfunctioning of the pancreas to produce insulin.

Patients with type 1 diabetes mostly occurs in people under the age of 30 years. That is why the disease is often called diabetes in children because the sufferer is more common in children and adolescents. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas can not produce enough insulin because the body's immune system disorder that destroys cells that produce insulin, or because of a virus infection so that the hormone insulin in the body decreases and the resulting accumulation of sugar in the bloodstream.
Causes of Type 1 Diabetes
In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas can not produce enough insulin. Because of the lack of insulin causes the glucose stays in the bloodstream and can not be used as energy. Some causes of the pancreas can not produce enough insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes, among other reasons:

* Descent or genetic factors. If one or both parents suffer from diabetes, then the children are at risk of diabetes.
* Autoimmune body is allergic to one type of cell or tissue itself-in this case, which exist in the pancreas. The body loses the ability to form insulin because the immune system destroys cells that produce insulin.
* Virus or chemical substances that cause damage to the island of cells (cell groups) in the pancreas where insulin is made. More and more islands of damaged cells, the greater the likelihood of someone suffering from diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes Treatment

Because the pancreas produces insulin difficulties, then the insulin must be added each day. Generally by way of injection of insulin. Is it possible with oral care? You can not, because insulin can be destroyed in the stomach when inserted through the mouth.

Another way is to improve the work function of the pancreas. If the pancreas can again function normally, the pancreas can meet the needs of insulin the body needs.


Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes often also called Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, or Diabetes Mellitus Without Insulin Dependent on. Unlike diabetest type 1, type 2 problem is not because the pancreas does not make insulin because the insulin is made but not enough. Most of the inhaled insulin that is produced by fat cells due to lifestyle and eating habits are not good. While the pancreas can not make enough insulin to overcome insulin deficiency so that blood sugar levels will rise.

Type 2 diabetes is a type of diabetes that affects the majority. Approximately 90% to 95% of diabetics suffer from type 2 diabetes. Type of diabetes is most commonly suffered by adults over the age of 30 years and tends to get worse gradually.
Causes of Type 2 Diabetes
The cause of type 2 diabetes because the insulin produced by the pancreas is not sufficient to bind the sugar in the blood caused by diet or an unhealthy lifestyle. Some of the main causes of type 2 diabetes can be summarized as follows:

* Factor descent, if the parents or any siblings who experience it.
* A diet or an unhealthy lifestyle. Number of fast food outlets (fast food), which presents the fatty foods and unhealthy.
* High cholesterol levels.
* Rarely exercise.
* Obesity or being overweight.

All causes of type 2 diabetes is generally due to unhealthy lifestyles. This makes the metabolism in the body is not perfect, so make insulin in the body can not function properly. The hormone insulin can be absorbed by fat in the body. Thus diet and unhealthy living light can make the body lacks insulin.
Type 2 Diabetes Treatment

Type 2 diabetes treatment is to force the work function of the pancreas so it can produce more insulin. If the pancreas can produce insulin the body needs, then the blood sugar levels would decrease due to be converted into energy. In many cases, can be treated with pills, at least initially, to stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin. The pill itself is not insulin.

However tired the pancreas can produce insulin if constantly forced. The best way to cope with type 2 diabetes is with a good diet to lose weight and sugar content, accompanied by appropriate calisthenics.


Diabetes Symptoms

Because of the lack of insulin and has a high sugar content in blood, then some of the symptoms that are common to both type 1 diabetes or type 2. If you experience some of these symptoms, you'll want to check to determine blood sugar levels. In general, several symptoms that occur include:

* Frequent urination
* Often feel very thirsty
* Often hungry because they do not have enough energy so the body's hunger signals
* Weight loss despite a sudden there is no attempt to lose weight. This is because when the body can not distribute the sugar into the cells, the body burn fat and protein alone to get energy.
* Frequently tingling in the feet or hands.
* Having problems like itchy skin or ulcers.
* If injured, take longer to be cured.
* Changes in behavior such as irritability. The causes for type 1 diabetics often awoke at night to urinate and could not sleep soundly.
* Easy to feel tired.

Are You Affected Diabetes?

Although these symptoms can indicate a person has had diabetes, but the best way to determine whether you have diabetes or not is to do the checking. What can be done to see if you have diabetes? Here are some alternatives that you can do either personally or in clinical tests.
How much sugar levels are normal?
Sugar levels after fasting:
Normal: below 100 mg / dl
Prediabetes: 100-126 mg / dl
Diabetes: above 126 mg / dl

Sugar levels two hours after eating:
Normal: below 140 mg / dl
Prediabetes: 140-200 mg / dl
Diabetes: above 200 mg / dl

Blood Tests

Usually done in the laboratory, which is tested when fasting and postprandial blood. Before conducting the test, you must fast for 12 hours. Normal glucose levels during fasting is below 100 mg / dl.

Even the most dreadful degree is death. These complications caused by blood vessel damage, nerve damage, and the inability of the body against infection. However, not all diabetic patients experience long-term problems of this.
*

It's also very dangerous because it can make sufferers shaky, sweaty, tired, hungry, irritable, or confused or fast heartbeat, blurred vision, headache, body numbness, or tingling around the mouth and lips. Can even be the seizure or fainting. Often times, proper diet and regular meals can help prevent problems that. Consume glucose, such as fruit juice or glucose tablets, can raise blood sugar levels back to a safer level to other foods can be consumed.
*
Ketoacidosis
If glucose can not be processed properly by the body, fat and protein in the body to be utilized by the body's energy. But when the body burns fat, forming a residue called ketones. Ketones accumulate in the blood and flows into the urine. Because ketones are more acidic than healthy tissue, high levels of ketones in the blood can cause a serious condition called ketoacidosis. The early symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis is thirst and frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and abdominal pain (especially in children). Breathing becomes deep and rapid as the body attempts to repair the blood acidity. Patient breath smells like the smell of acetone. Diabetic ketoacidosis could develop into a coma, sometimes within just a few hours.

People who suspect that he was suffering from diabetes should see a doctor who has experience in the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

Overcoming Pain and Dental cavities

Toothache

Dental cavities are not caused by worms such as the opinion of those in the past. This theory lasted until the 1700s until Willoughby Miller an American dentist who works at the University of Berlin found the cause of tooth decay. He discovered that the tooth cavity caused by the meeting between the bacteria and sugar. Bacteria will convert sugar from food into acids that residual environmental causes teeth to become acidic (environmental natural teeth are supposed to be alkaline) and acid is what ultimately makes a small hole in the tooth enamel.

When a hole occurs in tooth enamel, we have not felt a toothache. However, a small hole next to the email can be a gap remaining food and the bacteria will make a bigger hole to punch dentin. At this time we will feel a shooting pain in the teeth when eating. If allowed, the hole until the hole will be nervous that we will begin to experience a toothache. This process will not stop until the teeth eventually become exhausted and only the remaining tooth root.

Toothache can not be underestimated as some few people, because when silenced, can make the teeth becomes swollen and inflamed. Also cavities can become a means towards the channel entrance of germs that can cause blood vessels of kidney, lung, heart and other diseases.

In order not getting worse, so if you have cavities you should immediately visit your dentist to treat it. Although many people do not like going to the dentist for reasons not care about the state of teeth, expensive worried, afraid or ashamed of being ridiculed because of damaged teeth, but going to the dentist is the best solution to deal with a toothache. Cavities can not be cured by itself. Although, possibly after suffering a toothache, the pain may be lost but did not improve the condition of the teeth. Teeth will remain hollow, the hole will keep growing even bigger.

Patching Dentistry and Dental Unplug

The measures will generally be taken dentist is patching a damaged tooth, if the hole is not too large. But if we feel the toothache, the process of filling can not be directly carried out, because then the gas in the tooth can not get out. The doctor will give you painkillers or will turn off the tooth nerve so that we are not tormented with the pain. On the next visit before the teeth will be cleaned and patched temporarily, permanently filling done on the next visit again.

If the hole is too big and does not allow for the patched, it means that teeth should be revoked. Just as the process of filling teeth, the teeth also can not be readily removed when the teeth still hurt. This is caused when we feel a toothache, then the anesthetic (drug resistant so as not to hurt when the teeth removed) can not penetrate the roots of teeth, so that when removed will cause tremendous pain. New tooth extraction process can be done when the tooth had no pain and to relieve pain doctors would turn off the tooth nerve.


Preventing tooth decay

To prevent the occurrence of holes in the teeth, you can perform the following steps:

*
Regular dental check
Visit your dentist every six months even if you do not feel the toothache. This is needed so that doctors can detect a small hole that occurred in the tooth and can be handled immediately so that the hole is not bigger. Can also detect the uneven teeth or notched which can cause the teeth difficult to clean.
*
Brushing your teeth regularly and at the right time
In the morning after breakfast and at night before bed is the perfect time to brush my teeth. Saliva is not much out as we go to bed, so the teeth will be damaged if you let the rest of the food on your teeth without a brush. Saliva is useful to memlinfungi teeth from bacteria that cause cavities.
*
Brushing teeth the right way
While brushing your teeth regularly has been done but if done in a way that is not true, of course the result will not be maximized. The correct way is by brushing downwards to the front teeth (incisors), the top, brushing teeth towards the top to bottom and front teeth brushing horizontally for a molar. Brushing teeth should be longer, because this tooth has the potential attachment of leftovers.
*
Mouthwash after meals
Tooth brushing is not possible after we eat, the best way is rinsed her mouth so that leftovers do not keep sticking and reduce acid in the dental situation.
*
Use dental floss to remove food scraps
Food scraps left behind, should not be removed by using a toothpick. Use a toothpick can cause a gap between teeth in addition to the greater of the gums can cause injury.
*
Choose a toothpaste that contains fluoride
Using toothpaste that contains fluoride. This substance is one of the enamel-forming material. The presence of these substances can prevent decay on teeth.
*
Eat fibrous foods
Eat vegetables or fruit proved to be made stronger teeth and preventing cavities.
*
Reduce foods containing sugar and flour
This type of food when left on the teeth and the bacteria will cause acids that create cavities.

Overcoming Fear the Dentist

If you feel fear when dealing with your dental dentist, please notify your doctor. He would be happy to help you cope. You can tell him that you will be signaled by hand that you are afraid or feel ill when he was working on your teeth. Many patients find that it makes them calmer.

Besides that most dentists say their patients often take when dealing with dental patients. This is aimed at reassuring the patient.

Remember that healthy teeth to support the health of the body. If you immediately improve your dental cavities, this will avoid problems and costly treatment later.

Training & Development - Who Is Responsible?

Training and development (also labelled as "learning and development") is always acknowledged as crucial to the success of any business; both in-house and outsourced; whether training courses, on-line learning or executive coaching. Conversely, it is often the first area to feel the cutbacks when times are hard. As a busy executive, it can be challenging to balance the responsibility for developing your team with reducing budgets and focusing on the bottom line. However, think positive, it may not be your responsibility only.

So how do we define training and development (or T&D for short)? How about: equipping people with new skills, knowledge, attitudes or experience which they are then able to apply to their workplace and careers? That's a nice, broad definition which we can break down into three broad categories:
* what people need to do their job as it is today;
* what people need to do their job was it will be tomorrow; and
* what people need to do the jobs they want in the future.

From this we see that T&D can equip people to do their job, stay abreast of the changing requirements of that job and also help them in their career progression. Therefore, there are clear immediate benefits to the business (the first two categories) and definite future benefits to the individual (their career.) Of course, the individual also benefits from being well-trained in their daily role and the business benefits from developing its own future executives in-house.
At this point, we might want to question this word, "training", which tends to suggest activity geared towards a specific task or role. It also implies a process that is done to the individual rather than being something that they can fully engage with (after all, dogs are 'trained'.) Perhaps the better and more inclusive term would be "learning", which suggests a wider range of options (including mentoring and coaching) and also, perhaps, a wider range of applications.

Returning to the issue of responsibility: if the benefits are shared, shouldn't the responsibility also be shared? Traditionally, a manager might appraise each team member (sometimes in secret), personally decide what they needed by way of improvement and then prescribe the appropriate off-the-shelf training course. This is a Doctor model, where the manager acts as authority, diagnostician and decision-maker. Within limits, it can be efficient and it certainly saves time, but the lack of involvement of the individual can lead to lack of engagement with the training and therefore a lack of benefit.

These days we see more of a Coach model in which the manager and individual discuss the training needs and make decisions together. The coach guides the individual through the process of identifying and meeting their development needs with an emphasis on which solution will suit both them and the business. Those with particular potential, the 'rising stars' may even manage their own development allowance or budget and be free to seek tailored coaching outside the organisation (on the understanding that the results are applied within the organisation.)

Ask yourself how it works in your workplace. Do individuals have development objectives? Are they imposed or agreed? How are development options chosen? Is the criteria solely business efficiency or does it also take into account the individual's learning style? Is there support available to apply the learning to their role? Are they coached through their career development?
So think positive and engage your team in their own learning. The key factors are: involvement; discussion; business needs and personal aspirations; not just "training" but "learning"; and joint decision-making. That can mean joint success for you and your people.

Tips Membuat Header Website atau Blog dengan Mudah

Bagi penyuka design web atau yang suka ngeblog mungkin tips ini bisa memberi sedikit manfaat. Kadang kita gak dapet ide untuk bikin Header untuk website atau blog kita..

Syaratnya :

• Kita musti tau ukuran Header template blog kita, biasanya berkisar antara 720 - 760 px lebarnya.. untuk standar panjang nya 150 -200 px.
• Kita harus tahu file Nama file header template blog kita ( biasanya header.jpg) , kalo yang sering utak atik blog pasti tau.. yang gak tau, belajar ngeblog dulu ya .. hehehe..
• Kita juga musti tahu Text judulnya berada disisi mana, ini gunanya untuk menempatkan gambar supaya gak ketimpa sama Text.
• Tau juga Tema blog nya apa ( misal : photography, computer, camera, celebrity, dll)
• Kita juga harus tahu warna dasar blog nya biar nanti pas diberi header tidak Saltum ( salah kostum ) :)
• Itu aja kayaknya syarat yang penting.

Kalo udah tau lebar blog nya… bikin dokumen baru sesuai lebar nya ..

Tau tema website / blog, tujuannya untuk mencari gambar-gambar yang berkaitan dengan blog atau website nya.

saya biasa nyari gambar di Google Images ketikan keyword nya , misal photography > Enter .. deredettt.. banyak kan hasil search nya.. kita pilih beberapa gambar yang sesuai dengan selera kita.. misalkan saya udah pilih beberapa gambar yang berhubungan dengan photography.

Buka salah satu gambar untuk diedit sebelum dimasukan ke dokumen header,

Gunakan rectangle marquee tool untuk menyeleksi bagian sisi gambar, ini tujuannya untuk membuat batas putih di setiap sisi.

Klik Select > Inverse sehingga yang terseleksi sekarang adalah selain seleksi sebelumnya. Delete deh..

Tekan CTRL+ D untuk menghilangkan seleksi..

Drag ( Klik + Tahan + tarik ) gambar camera tadi ke dalam dokumen header baru.

Puter (rotate), modifikasi ukuran gambar ( resize) secara manual, sehingga keliatan menarik. Misalkan Text di template website / blog nya berada kiri, maka kita tempatin gambar nya di kanan.

Untuk pemberian efek, cukup dengan memberi bayangan alias pake DROP Shadow aja.

Klik 2x layer 1 atau klik kanan > blending Option,

Klik Ok.

Untuk mempermudah pemberian efek yang sama untuk gambar yang lainnya, Klik kanan layer 1 > copy layer style

Skarang ulangi langkah mengedit gambar, lalu drag ke dokumen header.
