...Pressure Points to Relieve Stress Modern day living is a lot easier these days, but it has also increased the levels of tension, stress and anxiety that people feel on a daily basis. The stress of everyday life can be overwhelming at times, and have devastating effects on personal relationships, quality of life, and create serious health problems, such as depression, disturbed sleep, and increased blood pressure. Many people use modern medicine to relieve stress and anxiety; however, these drugs also carry risks of abuse, and have long term affects on your health. A healthy alternative is acupressure, which applies pressure to specific pressure points to relieve stress, which is a quick and effective long-term solution. Pressure Points to...

...game is for a player to force their opponent to extend all of their fingers and thumbs on both hands. III.OBJECTIVES At the end of the activity the players would be able to : 1. develop their mathematical ability 2. use their agility skills IV.PARTICIPANTS YOUTHS V.INSTRUCTION Each player uses both hands to play the game, the number of digits extended on a hand showing the number of points that the hand has. Both players start with each hand having one point — one finger extended on each hand. The goal of the game is for a player to force their opponent to extend all of their fingers and thumbs on both hands. A hand with all fingers and its thumb extended is said to be a "dead hand". Players take turns to tap one of their hands against another hand that is not dead (either their own other hand, or one of their opponent's). The number of points on the tapping hand is added to the number on the tapped hand, and the player with the tapped hand should extend their digits to show the new score. The tapping hand remains unchanged. A player may tap their own hand to transfer points from one hand to the other. For example, if a player had three points on his or her right hand and one on his or her left, the player could rearrange them to have two on each hand. A "dead hand" is treated as having no points, for this purpose, which allows a player to bring a dead hand back into play by transferring points to it.

...“tapping therapy”. EFT brings together the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, neuroscience and cognitive-behavioural therapy by combining stimulation of a series of acupressure points with cognitive restructuring (specially worded affirmations), typically leading to shifts in thought patterns and relief from both physical tension and excess negative emotions. Table 1. Uses of EFT in addiction recovery Reducing / eliminating addictive cravings Alleviating withdrawal symptoms Managing anxiety, fear, grief, anger Relieving physical pain and tension Modifying unhelpful beliefs Healing past trauma Enhancing sense of control and self-efficacy Reducing risk of relapse Day-to-day emotional & stress management How does EFT work? There are several explanations of how EFT works. The creator of the technique and many practitioners attribute its effect to balancing the energy in meridians, as in acupuncture, in relation to a specific problem. Some neurological explanations for its efficacy include balancing the activity of parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of our nervous system, and facilitating “adaptive information processing”. The areas of skin associated with acupressure points contain a high concentration of mechanoreceptors, and brain scans of people whose acu-points are stimulated show the limbic (emotional) part of the brain...

...SURJ Learning to Select Robotic Grasps Using Vision on the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Robot Lawson Wong1 Grasping is an essential ability for manipulation; for robots such as the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Robot (STAIR) to be resourceful in real-world environments, they must know how to grasp. While this is a well-studied problem in the case when a full 3-D model of the target object is known, it is difficult for real-world scenarios, where the robot must rely on imperfect perception to model the scenario. This paper presents a novel approach for grasping that only uses local 3-D information acquired from sensors. Given data of the environment from 3-D sensors, our algorithm generates arm/hand configurations that may potentially achieve a good grasp, then computes features of these candidates to select the best candidate and execute its grasp. These features capture desirable properties of potential grasps based on sensor data, which our learning algorithm then uses to predict how likely the grasp will be successful. This algorithm was tested on STAIR in real-world grasping of single objects and of objects in cluttered environments. Significant improvements in both cases were found. Introduction As the field of artificial intelligence becomes increasingly advanced and integrated, it is time to revisit the half-century old “AIDream,” where intelligent robotic agents were envisioned to interact with the general human population. To this end...

...A touchscreen is an electronic visual display that the user can control through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with one or more fingers. Some touchscreens can also detect objects such as a stylus or ordinary or specially coated gloves. The user can use the touchscreen to react to what is displayed and to control how it is displayed (for example by zooming the text size). The touchscreen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, touchpad, or any other intermediate device (other than a stylus, which is optional for most modern touchscreens). Touchscreens are common in devices such as game consoles, all-in-one computers, tablet computers, and smartphones. They can also be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks. They also play a prominent role in the design of digital appliances such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), satellite navigation devices, mobile phones, and video games. The popularity of smartphones, tablets, and many types of information appliances is driving the demand and acceptance of common touchscreens for portable and functional electronics. Touchscreens are popular in the medical field and in heavy industry, as well as in kiosks such as museum displays or room automation, where keyboard and mouse systems do not allow a suitably intuitive, rapid, or accurate interaction by the user with the display's content. Historically, the touchscreen sensor and its accompanying...

...pen, you begin to realize that it takes an increasingly high amount of pressure to keep the pen in your fingers. Indeed, because your fingers are fatiguing, and your fingertips sweating, more and more pressure is needed to continue to write. The problem with this of course, is that for all the pressure you exert on the pen, it exerts an equal amount of force on the bones, ligaments, and tendons of your wrist and forearm. This kind of random pressure can wreak havoc on your joints. In fact, it’s one of the leading causes of Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSIs) and Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Luckily, this problem has been recognized by the designers of several leading pen manufacturers. These companies have stepped forward, creating writing utensils made to eliminate pressure points, allowing you to write with ease for hours on end. Introduction The design of hand writing instruments has been based primarily on touch, feel, aesthetics and muscle exertion (Kao, 1977, 2004), and has mostly being related to writing instruments that are commercially available. Kao (1977,1979) produced the following results in his studies: 1. Ball point pens yield the fastest and fountain pens the slowest writing speed. 2. Writing pressure was highest with ball point pens and lowest with felt tip pens. 3. In terms of the tip design, the pen contact was lowest for tilted pen points followed...

...When these pressure points are pressed, they release muscular tension in the body which promotes the circulation of blood and the body's life force to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same pressure points, but acupuncture utilizes needles, while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands. Acupressure can be performed or practiced anywhere at any time by anyone since it does not require any specialized tools or training to perform. The risks associated with acupuncture are slightly greater because it uses needle to pierce the skin of the body and work with the body's own natural energy. Acupressure does not pierce the skin. Instead it uses pressure applied to the pressure points with fingers so the risk of negative side effects to the body is even lower than those encountered during acupuncture. The insertion of acupuncture needles in the body also needs to be much more precise than the application of pressure in the body in acupressure. Acupuncture uses needles that are very tiny and thin, hence the insertion of needle needs to be placed correctly in...

...Each human hand has twenty-seven bones. There are total of fifteen phalanges, each in sets of three to make up your fingers, plus your thumb. In the palm of your hand are five metacarpal bones. The top portion of your wrist contains the remaining seven small bones called carpals. A facture of any of the seven carpals is commonly designated as a broken wrist, not a broken hand. The most common bone that breaks when the doctor says you have a broken hand is the metacarpal. Here is a description of the two most common ways a metacarpal bone is broken, plus a set of guidelines for rehabilitating a metacarpal fracture. Broken Metacarpal The longest and least protected of these twenty-seven bones are the metacarpals. A fractured metacarpal...

...Fingerprint identification has been around for a long time. Dating back to 1856, Sir William Hershel began using fingerprints by requiring people to not only sign business contracts but to impress their hand on the back of the contract. In the beginning, his intentions were not directed at personal identification. The print was simply used to frighten him out of all thought of repudiating him signature (The History of Fingerprints). As Hershel s fingerprint collection grew, he began to note that the linked impressions could prove or disprove identity. During the 1870 s, Dr. Henry Faulds, a British Surgeon of Tsukiji Hospital in Japan, studied skin furrows after taking notice of finger marks on prehistoric pottery. He then devised a method of classification. Mr. Faulds passed on an explanation of his classification system, along with samples of the forms he had design for recording inked impressions, to Charles Darwin. However, because of Mr. Darwin s old age and ill health, he informed Faulds that he would pass the material on to his cousin Francis Galton. Sir Francis Galton, a British anthropologist, published a book called Fingerprints. The book included the first classification system for fingerprints can be identified. Galton identified the characteristics by which fingerprints can be identified. These same characteristics are in use today and are often referred to as Galton s Details. In 1892, Argentine Police Officer, Juan Vucetich, made the first criminal fingerprint identification...

...quality control, yield maximization and minimization of scrap were crucial at the plant and for Polaroid as a whole. Undoubtedly, internal failure costs (scrap, rework, process failure) and external failure costs (customer complaints, product return, lost sales) can be extremely significant in this industry. By 1984, there was intense pressure to limit and reduce costs, thus giving rise to the implementation of Project Greenlight. The objective was to reduce quality monitoring costs, while maintaining or improving product quality. By instituting statistical process control procedures, production would be capable of manufacturing product within specifications and of a more consistent quality. Results of sampling identified an issue with finger height process average. Under the project, this would call for shut down, maintenance/recalibration and new control limits. While it can take some time for all personnel to develop the proper skill set and trust of fellow employees to fully utilize SPC, the end result will provide less scrap, higher yields and more consistency of product. ANALYSIS & CASE QUESTIONS 1. What is the magnitude of cost of quality problems at the R2 plant? How effective were its past procedures for quality management? Expensive materials represented about two-thirds of the cost of manufacturing at R2. Cost of quality issues are only magnified because of the nature of this particular manufacturing process and the dollar value associated with QC...

...The “Middleman,” Debunking the Middle Finger The Flipped Bird Mr. Robert Ekas of Clackmas, Oregon, is an American. He becomes angry for being pulled over, and doesn't always agree with those who wear a uniform. His choice of self expression is often the use of his middle finger. In fact, Mr. Ekas came to the attention of the judicial system after he “flipped the bird” at a sheriff's car in 2007. After being issued a traffic citation for disorderly conduct from the police officer he insulted; Mr. Ekas gestured again, this time through his sunroof, as he drove away. In disagreement with his traffic citation, he brought the case through the judicial system. The court sided with Mr. Ekas ruling in support of our first amendment right and dropped the charges, leaving Mr. Ekas to be acquitted. “I bite my Thumb at You Sir...” It's...
