Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has died

 


Former Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova died of throat cancer at age 45.

Vilanova has led the Catalan club for one season after taking over from Pep Guardiola, but was forced to resign last summer due to health problems.

Barca said in a statement: "The club expresses its deepest condolences for the death of Tito Vilanova, who died today in Barcelona at the age of 45."

Vilanova, a former midfielder who spent his playing career largely in the Spanish second division, was Guardiola's assistant for four years at the Camp Nou, the couple who has already worked with the team B.

He was diagnosed with cancer of the parotid gland in November 2011 and the disease returned in December 2012.

He was far from the team in December and late March when he underwent surgery and treatment, but won the league title before resigning in July last year.

6 Tips on How to Get Pregnant Faster NEW !

Are you attempting pregnancy for the first time? Have you been trying to have a baby for quite a long time without success? In either case, you are looking for a few valuable tricks and tips to get pregnant as fast as possible. How can you create good conditions to increase your chance to get pregnant? Let's answer to this question by means of a quiz.

1) Is there a favorable position to help you get pregnant faster?

Actually, experts agree that there isn't a specific sexual position to help you conceive faster. However, according to the majority of gynecologists, the missionary position (while the woman is lying on her back) would be a helpful position facilitating sperm to head towards the uterus and the fallopian tubes. Others say the doggy style is better.

2) Is having an orgasm necessary to conceive a baby?

Conception (part of the reproduction process) and orgasm (part of the sexual satisfaction) are two different matters. It is not necessary to have an organism in order to conceive a baby but a female climax would be able to help in a way. How? A female organism occurs with uterine contractions and would be able to propel or push the sperm further into the fallopian tubes.

3) Is it true that dying to get pregnant is an obstacle to conceive? 

Explaining your concern about not getting pregnant fast to your friends, you may have heard this retort: "You think too much about that! You'd better forget it and it will come by itself!" It's quite easy to say, isn't it? The fact remains that there is some truth in what your friends say! Don't stress over the idea of becoming pregnant. Stress is going to affect your menstrual cycle and it will be more difficult to determine when you are most fertile. Additionally, stress would be able to prevent the ovulation. Relax as much as possible!

4) Does it help to eat chocolate or spinach?

Not really! What you must do is to avoid fast food and have a balanced diet of whole foods rich in vegetables, fruits, and grains. Eat also food rich in folic acid!

5) I'm smoking, is it an obstacle to get pregnant?

Smoking is not really an obstacle to get pregnant. It happens to many women. But it has been shown that smoking can affect fertility in both men and women. It's far better to cut down on smoking.

6) How can I determine when I am most fertile? 

You can count the days, check your cervical mucus or even register your basal body temperature.

Five Tips to Overcome Stress

Tip One

Being right can be overrated.

Sometimes an argument can ensue if you are really wanting to be right about something. Don't sweat the small stuff. If you absolutely know that you are right, but the other person either doesn't want to see your point of view, or is refusing to listen, then to keep at them, wanting to demonstrate to them that you are correct - will provoke and cause more stress for you. Let it go. You know deep down within that you have all the facts, but for the sake of your own peace - stay calm and let it go.

Tip Two

Don't over-analyse situations

I have looked at my budget, looked at my bank account, looked at my work schedule, gone back mentally over situations thinking that I may have caused somebody some angst, wondered what I coulda-shoulda-woulda in all those useless time wasting endeavours of trying to over-analyse what is going on in my situation. I would have been better off thinking that what is, what is... and if I can't change it, or do anything about it, then just leave it be. Do what I can, and then stop thinking about it.

Tip Three

Don't sweat the small stuff

This is a good one for parents. I have two teenagers and a toddler. I have two autistic teenagers and a partner gets frustrated with toddler mess and other things. A lot of the time, I have to compromise and bend around and twist, for the sake of peace. I have learned that sometimes the little things don't really matter. The messy bedroom, the teenage floor-robe of clothes all over the floor, emptying the bin after asking a gazillion times for the teenagers to do it. Concentrate on what matters - peaceful living. Ask yourself, and get away somewhere quiet if you need to, does this situation matter in the overall scheme of things? Have you got clean clothes, clean dishes, clean toilet and generally not tripping over things? The family wants to watch a particular DVD and you can't stand those kinds of movies. In the end, I have decided that to let them go and do what they want to do, and I can go and do something else to entertain myself.

Tip Four

Don't take on things that aren't your responsibility

Do you get caught up in being overly concerned in what other people are doing? Are you begging your partner to come to the movies with you to see a particular thing, and they just don't want to go? Can you make up your mind to set to yourself, and keep your issues separate from other people, or go on to the movies by yourself? You aren't responsible for another person's happiness, and they aren't responsible for your happiness, so maintain responsibility for attending to your own issues, and let other people be. Are other people prying into your business? Quickly put it to rest by saying that you would prefer not to discuss it, and don't offer your opinion freely. People quickly end up blaming you for their problems if they have asked for your opinions, and then the situation goes belly up. I end up telling people that they have the capacity to solve their own issues, or refer them to seeking professional advice.

Tip Five

Take care of your own legitimate needs
You have a legitimate need not to be a martyr for other people. If you want to help others, by all means help them, but don't compromise on your own legitimate needs such as getting enough sleep, not going out with friends to an expensive restaurant if you really can't afford it, getting enough exercise and getting enough rest and healthy food.

How to Create an Atmosphere of Success

Negative thinking can colour all the aspects of your life so that everything looks dismal. When you change the way that you think, and what you think about, you can begin to see the world through different eyes, and create an atmosphere of success.

Begin the day by being grateful

Attitudes of gratitude and thankfulness help you to focus on what you have; look around you - do you have dirty dishes? That means that you have eaten, and haven't gone hungry. Are you able to walk around? That means that you are healthy and not restricted in your mobility. Do you have friends and family you can talk to? That means that you are not lonely and isolated. Meditate and think on the many things you have to be thankful for.

Practice random acts of kindness

It is often expressed by many philosophers that you reap what you sow. When you sow happiness for others, by expressing encouragement and kindness towards others, you generate positive feelings in others towards yourself. It also gives you a mental boost, knowing that you have made another person joyful today. Many movements such as random acts of kindness, or the pay it forward movement, or suspended coffee movements thrive on being kind. It is generally part of a person's nature to want to be kind to others, foster that natural instinct in yourself, in order to improve the quality of your own life.

Spend time enjoying yourself

If you are always working, and not giving yourself a break, you set yourself up for prolonged stress and for burnout. It is important to rest and to relax, to enjoy yourself, and make time for activities and hobbies you enjoy. The brain and body both need to have time out, so when you sleep, rest, and spend time in creative pursuits, you work with your natural bodily rhythms which complement a life of work and balance in other areas of your life.

Many people follow spiritual pursuits in order to maintain mental wellness

Studies have shown that people who engage in spiritual pursuits, such as prayer, reading the Bible, and belonging to a church congregation have better health outcomes than people who do not follow spiritual practices. The benefits of belonging to a community of people are natural, in that they provide for social reinforcement, mutual encouragement, and extended systems of support amongst peers.

Practicing deliberate positive thinking improves mental health

When you deliberately think positive thoughts, and affirming thoughts about yourself, you are rewiring the brain into being in a thriving state, where you are less prone to be susceptible to the negative effects of stress. People who regularly affirm themselves and are not haughty about their achievements, but are generous towards themselves in self-compassion have been shown to be more resilient in life through a number of psychological studies.

A lot of people have experienced episodes of depression, anxiety disorders and mental health
problems, due to a number of reasons, including trauma, chronic stress and worries about day to day issues. They may also have been subject to burnout from overwork, or the burdens of being a carer. Through the practice of surrounding yourself with positive people, people who are compassionate, and like minded people who choose to see things as always being hopeful, you can change your life, and look forward to better outcomes for your life. Positive thinking and the reinforcement of happy, likeminded and encouraging peers will set your course for success.

Three Ways to Overcome Anxiety

Panic attacks are no picnic. You can be walking along and pushing your shopping trolley at the supermarket and then boom! Your heart starts racing, and your chest tightens up, and you feel like you can't breathe, and your palms get sweaty, and you feel like you need to run and disappear somewhere. Learn right now how you can make them evaporate for good.

Anxiety is also a very distressing state of mind; if you are experiencing frequent panic attacks, this can be an indicator of burnout related to chronic stress. Seek help from your medical practitioner, who can refer you to counselling and support you in removing anxiety from your life.

1. Give yourself extra time to do things to prevent panic attacks.

When you are rushing around, you can be more prone to panic attacks. Start your day at least 15 minutes earlier, and spend some time quietly by yourself in the morning. This will give you more time to be quiet and relaxed, so you will be able to be more at peace with yourself and not feel as though you have to be pressured so much. Practice mindfulness, and make sure that you get yourself somewhere safe, and remember to breathe. If you need to exit from public, try to call a friend to come and assist you if you need it.

2. When you are in the middle of a panic attack:

Get control of your breathing. Breathe deeply by forcing the air swiftly and deeply; you will then breathe the air back in, and do this several times over. Stop quietly, and then give use one hand to massage the other, and give yourself deep pressure in each of your hands. Breathe again, and keep massaging each of your hands until you regain calm. You can also squeeze your hands together tightly and hold them for seven seconds, and then repeat. Practice mindfulness, and make sure that you get yourself somewhere safe, and remember to breathe. If you need to exit from public, try to call a friend to come and assist you if you need it.

3. Implement lifestyle changes to prevent panic attacks in the long term:

Clean up your diet, eat as much unprocessed food as you can, and as many fruit and vegetables as you can reasonably manage. Reduce your caffeine intake, give away alcohol and also give away nicotine. Talk to a counsellor about your personal problems, and also do what you can to alleviate stress from your life. Try to see things in perspective, and don't sweat the small stuff. Let go of perfectionism, and set yourself realistic goals, not unachievable goals. Spend more time in nature, and quiet contemplation. Spending time in nature reinforces human's natural need for being in the outdoors (a phenomenon referred to as biophilia, or love of nature). Join a social support circle, so that you have others to rely on to help relieve some of your mental burdens. Engage in creative pursuits, and make sure that you are not always working, and ensure you get adequate rest.
Using these three simple steps, you can let go of stress, and reduce your proneness to anxiety and panic attacks, and have a life that is calm and peaceful and full of joy.

The Pleasure Of The Penis Power Through Botanical Beauties

WHEN A MAN HAS A PENIS THAT WORKS FOR HIM, HE HAS A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR. However, the pleasure of the penis for some doesn't come from just wishful thinking, it emanates from woeful wants. It is building the body through exercises and following the right formula including Botanical beauties such as herbs, that are grown right under our noses. We will discuss why it is very important to have a healthy penis and how we can move from the fantasy of giving pleasure to the reality of actual performance. Let's start with your current performance.

Are You Having These Sex Problems?:

Do you find yourself losing erection during sex? This can be very frustrating to any woman. Another thing that is truly annoying is to have a premature delivery before the curtains come down.
There is no trick in having a pleasurable sexual encounter nor an elusive fantasy. Enjoyment doesn't mean hours upon hours of long a painful sex as the act can actually last as little as 5 to 10 minutes. Another myth that we are accustomed to is the length of the penis. Neither the length nor the hours has anything to do with this widely-talked-about performance. Actual intercourse is pleasurable because the vagina is well lubricated for penetration.
However, without a firm and erect penis, this penetration is impossible. The entire spotlight comes from simple botanical nutrition which we will discover after ascertaining the problem below the belt.

Weak Penis

The penis is the most important part of a man's reproductive system as is the vagina to a woman. There are other areas of the body that are erogenous zones but the final show-down leads back to the faceoff between the dynamic duos.
If a man has a weak penis, he cannot perform the way he should. It doesn't matter the length of his sexual encounter as the bliss can last between 10 and 15 minutes, and that could be a very pleasurable experience compared to 1 long, boring hour of pain. But how can we know how to identify the symptoms of this "poor" condition?

Cause for Concern

If you find yourself greeting the bathroom several times during the night, your sudden burst of courtesy is a cause for concern. This could unfortunately be a problem with the prostate as it becomes inflamed and when this happens, there might be other conditions that follow.
Among these conditions are the lack of interest in sex and premature ejaculation. All these are symptoms that can lead to poor sexual performance and we will highlight the right remedy for this embarrassing situation.

Botanical Beauties

Isn't it wonderful to have a natural growing plant that could improve your performance in bed? That is the botanical beauty of the cure that nature provides.
The power of the penis could also come from increasing the size if you wish but it doesn't stop there. Regular exercise to release the stress hormone could also help you cope with the psychological problem that comes from having a weak erection. This also helps the blood to circulate through your veins and arteries.
Here are some plants that could greatly help to restore your sex life:
· Butea Superba
· Jamaican Sarsaparilla
· Panax Ginseng
The above remedies help to regulate the blood pressure, increase the production of testosterone, sustain an erection and enhance energy and power during sex.

The Power Is Yours Through Herbs

There might be other alternative but through naturally grown organic remedies, a man can restore his life and be normal again. Treating his body to natural supplements is good and when they are applied as daily supplements, coupled with regular exercise, the power is there for the taking.
Nothing is impossible when it comes to pleasing a woman because a man has the right tool for the job regardless of the size. He just needs to unleash the power behind it.

 

The Dreaded "S" Word - Suicide

The common myth is that suicide is the most selfish act someone can commit. That's nonsense. People typically don't commit suicide until the pain of living becomes greater than the pain of dying, and nothing they've tried has worked. In fact, it generally makes perfect sense when viewed from their life perspective.
So let's take the unhelpful judgment out of it and look seriously at the factors involved in suicide. Much can be said about the risk factors and common means; this is just an overview.
First, let's look at some risk factors of suicide. Naturally, not all will apply in every situation. (**VERY Important; *Especially in the elderly)

• History of suicide attempts
• Talking about suicide or leaving a suicide note
• Planning for suicide (e.g., making a will, giving away their things, saying their goodbyes)
• Being depressed (Caution: suicide rates increase when someone appears to be coming out of a deep depression, and in summer)
• Chronic, unresolved grief
• Poverty
• Unemployment, especially in young men
• Feelings of powerlessness, shame, guilt, low self-esteem
• Poor physical health
• Social isolation
• Being single
• Family history of suicide
• Use of alcohol or other drugs
• Having a personality disorder
• Poor sleep
• Bereavement
• Access to firearms
• Being elderly &/or male
• Major holidays and birthdays
• First week following discharge from the hospital
• Just before or after a major diagnosis
• Before or during disciplinary proceedings

The most common means of suicide include:

• Intentional drug overdose, often accompanied by alcohol
• Jumping from a height
• Gun or knife
• Cutting
• Hanging
• Burning
• Asphyxiation
• Intentional self-neglect, especially in the elderly

What can you do if you suspect someone in your life has become suicidal? Here are a few ideas:

1. Take it seriously.
2. Talk about it. Ask about the depression and any suicidal feelings and behaviors.
3. Listen. Listen for the feelings beneath the words. Listen for the pain that has led up to this moment.
4. Don't argue. Don't offer platitudes.
5. Assist the person with getting professional help-even offer to make the appointment and go with him/her to the first visit.
6. Offer to help create a safe environment (remove weapons, drugs, razors, scissors, etc), or offer to spend the night on their couch so s/he isn't alone.
7. Try to get him/her to call a crisis hotline.
8. Don't minimize or deny his/her pain.
9. If suicide seems imminent, don't leave the person alone.
10. If someone is telling you about feeling suicidal, don't agree to keep it a secret-get help.

If someone completes suicide, what can you expect to experience in the aftermath? Typically, survivors will feel an increased sense of rejection, responsibility, various grief reactions, shame, guilt, or even copycat behavior. Some may develop personality disorders.
In summary, suicide is a very complex issue and judgment isn't helpful. After all, we're not walking their path. But it can shake your own foundation to the core, so don't feel like you need to handle this difficult challenge alone. Get support for yourself before you develop complications from the pain and confusion.
