Super Bowl Excitement could spike Hearts Attacks, Doctors Warn
“For rabid fans of the New York Giants and New England Patriots, this Sunday’s Super Bowl won’t be just a game. It may be a health hazard”.
In effect, studies had showed that heart attacks and other cardiac emergencies doubled in Munich, when that nation’s soccer team played in World Cup matches. While history suggests European soccer fans can get a bit more worked up than the average American football fan, doctors think there are some valid warnings to be shared.
But what in the Super Bowl could so much put in danger these sirs? They blamed emotional stress for the hearts problems, but they note also “lack of sleep, overeating, wolfing down junk food, boozing and smoking might have played a role too.”
Personally I did not know that such sports events could engender cardiac problems. I think that it can be possible if the person already has cardiac problems.
“The effect was strongest in people with known heart disease. So on Super Bowl Sunday, such people and others with known risks for heart disease — like high blood pressure or diabetes — should take extra care of themselves, said Dr. Lori Mosca, director of preventive cardiology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.”
Here are thus the prescriptions of the doctors to avoid it:
Avoid smoking too much, not to drink too much: a glass for a woman, two glasses for a man. (It is well known that a man drinks only two glasses during one big match when he is with his friends!), to have slept well at night which precedes the match and to try not to be too anxious during the match !
Uncategorized | Comment (0)Obama’s Complex History With Lobbyists
“A look at Obama’s seven years in the Illinois Legislature reveals a complicated relationship with lobbyists, particulary for someone who now makes criticism of lobbyists a centerpiece of his presidential campaign.
Barack Obama played poker and basketball with lobbyists when he was a state senator. He took their campaign donations and worked with them to write legislation. But he also helped pass ethics laws to reduce their influence.”
Nevertheless according to the book of François Durpaire and Oliver Richomme ” America of Barack Obama “, it is not with the lobbies that Obama became rich and powerful but thanks to Internet.
The beginning of 2007, a supporter and “fund raiser” new yorkais, Julius Genachowski, convinces the campaign Obama where it is necessary to make the difference on the net. Obama engages as director of internet campaign, Jim Brayton, who in 2004 had made of Howard Dean a big cyber-success.
The site of Obama is very a canvasser: from the homepage, a big red button: “donate”. And, just below, this text: “the presidential election campaign of Barack Obama is completely financed by basic supporters as you. Contrary to Hillary Clinton, the Senator Obama does not accept money of the groups of interest and the lobbyists of Washington.
His site allowed the challenger of rise of the live money, but especially to recruit hundred of thousand volunteers, who organize in four places of the country of the sales of cookies house, meetings tupperware or contests of football.

Cela devait arriver un jour ou l’autre. Nous avions Technorati et TechMeme. Nous avons maintenant Tweetmeme, qui suivra à la trace ce qu’il y a de plus “chaud” sur la plateforme Twitter. Créé par les fondateurs de Fav.or.it , un système de commentaires de blogs (pas encore lancé), Tweetmeme cherche le contenu le plus récent et suit ceux qui le commentent. Il classe le contenu en fonction du nombre de discussions. Comme chacun le sait le nombre de d’URLs diffusés via Twitter dépasse le million; suivre l’évolution d’un sujet viral sera et un défi passionnant. Le service classera également le contenu en fonction de blogs, videos ou audio.
Uncategorized | Comment (0)Facebook, the place to be ? No thank you !
If you like killing the time on Web, make you a lot of new contacts, to participate in often stupid discussions, to discover new applications or still to make jokes to your friends, then it is whom you are on Facebook. But attention on the respect for the private life with Facebook !
About 40 Web sites, among which sites of e-business, decided to use Beacon, a marketing tool was spread by Facebook with his partners. It allows to draw the purchases of the members and to list them on their personal pages, the idea being the following one: if a visitor observes that one of his friends bought such object, he will buy it maybe too.
Attention on the respect for the private life! He can seem surprising, even shocking, to ask to his subscribers for their political tendencies and for their sexual affinities … Then naturally, and as for everything on Facebook, the Internet user is not forced to answer, either can choose to mask this information, but the fact is that if we wish it we can be completely engaged.
For me it is a very narcissistic website. I speak about me, what I like, what I want, me, me, me.
If we want to discuss certain subjects, there are already the forums, the blogs, or even to make own Web site.
As for friends’ notion, it remains very often very virtual and superficial, unlike sites as sortirsurparis, which really facilitate the relations in the true life.

Voila 7 mois maintenant que je suis vendeuse chez Etam, j’y suis entrée au mois de juillet, autrement dit en pleine période de soldes d’étés.. Dès le premier jour de travail, j’ai été confrontée à la dure réalité du travail des vendeuses dans un magasin de vêtements.. Des dizaines de femmes qui font la queue aux cabines d’essayage, des dizaines d’autres qui la font en caisse, je ne parle pas des autres qui essayent de se frayer un chemin dans les rayons, à l’affût de la moindre perle à acheter… Dès le premier jour, je me suis demandée comment j’allais tenir à ce rythme là !!
Les soldes d’été passées, les fêtes de Noel, voila maintenant l’heure des soldes d’hiver… Quelques jours auparavant, mes collègues m’avaient prévenue, les soldes d’hiver, c’est la période la plus difficile de l’année… J’ai pu m’en rendre compte depuis maintenant une semaine… Mercredi 7h55, des clientes attendent déjà derrière la grille du magasin ! 8h, le magasin ouvre, les clientes se jettent sur les pulls disposés à l’avant du magasin, je me souviens la veille, j’avais mis plus d’une heure à préparer cette table, pliant soigneusement les pulls un à un, les triant par couleurs, 10 minutes après l’ouverture du magasin, les pulls étaient tous mélangés, ou pires ils jonchent sur le sol… La journée fût éprouvante… Je pensais avoir connu le pire avec cette première journée… Mais c’était sans compter que le premier samedi des soldes allait me réserver encore des surprises !! En arrivant à 9 h du magasin, je n’avais pas imaginé que les femmes pouvaient se lever si tôt un samedi matin pour faire les soldes !! En effet, le magasin était déjà bien rempli… Plus les heures passaient et plus il y avait du monde !!
Au début de la journée, j’étais souriante, je disais bonjour aux clientes, mais plus les heures défilaient plus je devenais fermée, voire agressive … Une cliente me demande tout naturellement en me montrant un pantalon : est ce que vous l’auriez en taille 42 ? Je la regarde en lui souriant, en lui disant : je pense que oui nous l’avons mais je ne peux pas vous dire où, vous avez pu remarquer que tout le magasin était mélangé, je lui explique assez gentiment que je ne peux pas passer 15 minutes à lui trouver son pantalon, et qu’elle va devoir se débrouiller seule…
Autre aberration que j’ai pu remarquer : les femmes qui viennent avec leurs enfants faire les soldes !! L’horreur !! Des dizaines de gamins, hurlant, criant en courant partout dans le magasin, et les mères étant trop occupées à leur achats, les laissant jouer dans le magasin… Je n’ai pas compté, mais j’ai bien du me prendre une bonne dizaine de coups de pieds par ces petits monstres… Alors quand par pur hasard mon pied qui trainait a heurté un enfant, et qu’il est doucement tombé par terre, je n’ai pu m’empêcher de me dire dans mon for intérieur : Bien fait ! Après avoir tout de même vérifié qu’il ne s’était pas fait mal. 18h fin de la journée pour moi, je plains mes collègues qui vont devoir ranger le magasin, tellement il est méconnaissable…
Uncategorized | Comment (1)Me…
Hello everybody
For this first one post, it’s normal to present me to you.
My name is Delphine, I am 23 years old, I recently live in Paris suburb, I was before a true Parisian, but I wanted to go away from this city so terrifying… I especially wanted to have a better living environment, trees, flowers, big parks, rather than tens and tens of cars which honk at the bottom of the street..
I thus lived in Champs sur Marne in the 77, an attractive small suburb in only 15km of the capital. I am student in Communication at ISCOM in Paris, and it for 2 years now. It is my last year of study before going into the merciless universe of the world of the work! I look forward to being there, indeed it has been 6 years since I am in the higher education and I do not even count the years which preceded.. With luck, boldness, and with motivation, I should become thus soon a journalist, if everything takes place as expected;-)
Next to my studies, I have saleswoman’s small job in a store of clothes (at Etam) which helps me to pay my rent. The life of a saleswoman is not still very funny especially in period of sales.. It will be the object of a new post very quickly. Otherwise when I have time I like to stroll in the forest with my boyfriend and my dog, to make journeys, to surf on Internet, and to write..
