Beautiful Song and Video: 2010 Olympics: Vancouver: “I Believe,”by Nikki Yanofsky Check-it-out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrCA0HK-yO0 And the same song (French Version) “J’Imagine” par Annie Villeneuve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G8RYAQXVCM Both Great. Enjoy! -Glenn A while back, I viewed the movie, Crazy Sexy Cancer, by Kriss Carr. I thought it was really interesting; she changed her lifestyle to survive cancer. (She also fell in love and married her cameraman. Cool!) (I think I should make a movie on a different subject; I will need a camera-women! LOL.) A really memorable statement that she makes is, Food is your Medicine. I have been keeping this in mind as I try to improve my own diet. If I am willing to pay $5 for a desert, I certainly can pay a bit more for better quality and healthier foods. Kriss Carr has also written books and has a website and blog. Additionally, I really like the book, Anticancer, by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD. The author, also a cancer survivor, has written about foods and habits that can help one to survive cancer or prevent it. An updated edition has just recently been released. And I really like the book, Healthy at 100, by John Robbins. It looks at the diets and habits of the longest living peoples on Earth.

I bought a hydroponically grown one that still had its roots intact. It is great; it has a spicy flavor and I really like it. I bought it at Whole Foods. I think a hydroponically grown product can be a good alternative if you can’t find an organic product or the organic product is too expensive. And I have been eating Pea Shoots. I like them, too. I get them from Trader Joe’s. Organic and Yummy. I Found these website via a google search: www.watercress.com and www.peashoots.com. A few other products that I have been eating are ground flaxseeds, organic pure cocoa, cinnamon, chia seeds, ginger, and been making some cool tea mixes. I guess, “Go Green” has a dual meaning. Enjoy! -Glenn These days, my fingers have been quite cold. I bought an inexpensive Temperature Biofeedback device. You take the digital thermometer (looks like a small clock) and it has a a cord. One end of the cord hooks into the thermometer and the other end of the cord has a sensor that you tape to your finger. As you relax, more blood flows to the area and your fingers warm-up. The machine doesn’t do it, you do it! I also think that using imagery can be helpful. Imagine your fingers or toes soaking in warm water or similar imagery. Check-out the following for more helpful tips: This information is for educational purposes only! -Glenn Over the years, when watching the James Bond Movies, I thought they should make a movie with a women agent, as the lead character. They should make her out to be Jame Bond’s Sister. I would call her, Jane Bond. She would be a karate expert. And James Bond could make a cameo. Yes, I might consider being in it or even writing it. I like Broccoli. I don’t they they ever discussed a mother or a father or brothers and sisters in the James Bond Movies. -Glenn This is via the WebMD.com Blogs. It is an interesting article. 10 Toxic Products You Don’t Need by Janelle Sorensen http://blogs.webmd.com/health-ehome/2010/01/top-10-toxic-products-you-dont-need.html Here are the 10 Products that the article mentions: 1.Air fresheners Check-out the article and see if you agree. -Glenn This is a link to “Dr. Oz’s Beauty Cheet Sheet.” The Dr. Oz show (2/2/10) did a piece on safe cosmetics. http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/dr-ozs-beauty-cheat-sheet -Glenn Statisticians often want to know how a group would respond to a certain question (their opinion.) But, for a large group, it isn’t possible, cost effective or realistic to ask the opinion of the whole group. So, they attempt to collect the responses of a smaller sampling of the larger group; then they use statistical paradigms to resonably determine how the whole population would have respond. So, for example, if you wanted to know how all the people in a large city felt about the appearance of the golden tropical fluffy feefee fish, [no, this is not a real fish; but, it sounds cool,] it wouldn’t be practical to call a million people and ask their opinion. But, you might be able to call several hundred or a thousand, taken from a randomized list of the whole population, and get their opinions. Then you would analyze the data using the science of statistics and come up with results. With the results of the analysis, you can then make statements about the what the response of the whole population of the city would be, with a reasonable degree of certainty. For example, let’s say that we get the following results, already analyzed, from our random sample regarding the appearance of the golden tropical fluffy feefee fish: 48% love the appearance of the fish, 45% like the appearance of the fish, 4% dislike the appearance, and 3% have no opinion at all [possibly because they ate too much sugar and their brain is taking a break.] Now, when we look at the 48% and the 45%, they seem to say that more people love the appearance of the fish (48%) than like the appearance of the fish (45%.) But, is it correct to say that more people love the appearance of the fish than like the appearance of the fish? The Answer is that we can’t tell. Why? When the data of the sample is analyzed, their is a degree of uncertainty (error) that is part of the analysis. This uncertainty occurs because we are not asking the opinions of the every person in the city, but rather taking a small sample and applying the results to make statements about how the whole population would respond. For example, a statistician might say that we are 95% certain that if we sampled the whole population, the people who love the appearance of the golden tropical fluffy feefee fish would be 48% +/-3%. The +/- 3 % is the margin of error. This means that the 48% could actually be anywhere from 45%-51% (45+3 and 45-3.) The 45% who like the appearance could really be between 42% and 48%. So, given this range of error, it is possible that the people who liked the appearance of the fish (45%+/-3) could be more than the people who loved the appearance of the fish, 48%+/-3. We just don’t know. I wrote this article because repeatedly when statistics are reported (TV, In Print, etc.,) they will mention results of a study and disregard the margin of error. For example, they will say than in a study of the opinions of people living on Mars, we found that 48% support XYZ and 45% are against XYZ. The two numbers reported may be the same or different; we just don’t know. Additionally, they report that the 48% is up from 45%, when the poll was last taken. But, this too may not be true. We really don’t know because of the range of error. Read the fine print; check-out the range of error. Sometimes it does matter. -Glenn founder, |
