know there are many causes I could rec-

mmend you stand up or, but Ive chosen

imple and straight-orward one: Your

ealth! And to start, get off your chair

d read this while standing. Who knows,

aybe it will make it a better article.

d you know that all o the sitting we

throughout the day is detrimental tor health? You probably do. Now think

out all o the time most o us spend at

ork tethered to a desk and chair. Some

udies have suggested that doing so all

y is worse than smoking, and kills more

ople than HIV every year.

fer reading a ew o these theories, Ive

mplemented a simple change in my own

ork style by making mysel a stand up

sk. I stand and work the majority o theme now, and in the past ew months, Ive

ticed a big improvement in mysel. You

ight want to try this yoursel or the New

ar.

m sure youve seen stand up stations or

least heard o urniture along this line.

ven in passing you have probably seen

e commercial with the suited up execu-

ve using such a piece while working on

readmill. Sorry to disappoint, the onemade is not that cool. I already have a

sk and was not looking to spend mon-

on those ancy adjustable ones which

ould (space wise) require that I trash the

aditional one. Or what would happen i I

ally needed to switch back to the old one

r some reason? So, I went the DIY route

ing materials we had in the offi ce.

ideas worth stealing to make your own,hop over to Google and type in Standing

Desks. Tere are over 17,900,000 results

or that subject matter. I recommend this

route as a great place to start a DIY proj-

ect. Te visuals are especial helpul.

Id like to pass along to any DIY-ers some

helpul inormation o my own. I have two

monitors and a tower. Te table height

itsel should be elbow height: meaning

where your elbow exes comortably at 90

degrees both or using your keyboardand also writing without strain. Further

research I ound recommended that opti-

mum eye level is equal to the top o your

monitor(s). Simple as that.

Once I get some paint on my project I will

share a picture.

ake the challenge! And i you do, be

creative and have some un with it.

During a nice, cold Chicago-land winter theelements not only affect us but our homes,businesses and livelihoods as well. Tere arelots o essentials we should have on hand inthis climate combat zone and heres a listingo some o the important basics to give you a

good head start:

1. Batteries Easy to purchase and thenewer styles have much longer shel lives.Stock up with AA, AAA, C, D and9V. Tese should handle most o yourneeds. Teyll at least get you throughreshening energy sources in your smokeand C02 alarms as well as portable radios.

2. Water. According to the State o Calior-nias preparedness tips, you need one (1)gallon per person, per day. Tat coversthe recommended gallon or drinking

and gallon or cooking and cleaning.3. Food. Tis one is tougher because the

needs and amounts are dictated by anydietary restrictions you or your amilymay have as well as number o house-hold members and their ages. Check outthe recommendations suggested on theFEMA.gov website.

4. Inormation. Even with iphones, tablets,computers, etc., youll need a portable,battery-operated radio or tv in case olong term power outages. Other devices

could run out o power and there wouldbe no way to recharge them. Affordableportables, especially radios, are widelyavailable and would suffi ce to keep you inthe loop during emergencies. Pick one upand remember where you put it!

5. Other Power Source. Tis should be a nobrainer, but make sure you have a good

ashlight and plenty o candles.6. Other Power Sources part 2. Matche

Not only or lighting the candles, bumay also be needed or igniting cookor heating devices like a replace.

7. Basic hand tools. Because o the indwere in, were covered. However, i not using them daily or have never bhandy, pick some up or yoursel anyYou never know when one tool or anwould come in handy.

8. Do NO resort to heating your homan open oven or bring in heaters me

or the outdoors to keep you warm. are reasons they are not recommendused as common practice in emergeoutages. Tey are NO sae. Sorry, i Grannys heat goes out, make surecalls us and doesnt just re up the st

9. Install or have on hand a standby getor. Not everyone is in a position to whole house standby generator on hbut may have the means or a smalleor natural gas unit. Tey have come way as ar as affordability and size goHeck, they are on the shelves at CostI would say they are becoming moremore the norm. How be sure to olloall owners manuals and local codes wusing or install natural gas generatorTere useulness can be overshadowby the potential dangers they can pomishandled.

Te Elephant and the Blind Men

nce upon a time there lived six blind men

a village. One day the villagers told them,Tere is an elephant in the village today.

ey had no idea what an elephant was. Tecided that even though they would not bele to see it, they would go and eel it any-

ay. All o them went to where the elephantas. Every one o them touched the elephant.

Te elephant is a pillar, said the rst man

ho touched his leg.

Oh no, its like a rope, said the second man

ho touched the tail.

It is like a thick branch o a tree, said theman who touched the trunk.

It is like a big hand an, said the ourth manwho touched the ear.

It is like a huge wall, said the fh man who

touched the belly.

It is like a solid pipe, said the sixth man whotouched the tusk o the elephant.Tey began to argue and every one o them

insisted he was right. Tey were getting more

and more agitated. A wise man walked byand he saw this. He stopped and asked themWhat is the matter? Tey said, We cannot

agree to what the elephant is like. And eachone o them told what he thought the animallooked like. Te wise man claimed to them,

All o you are right. Each is telling it differ-ently because each touched different parts.

Actually, the elephant has all o the eaturesyou said.

Tere was no more ght. Tey elt happy thatthey were all right.

For 2016, this would make a great suggeor a New Years Resolution: to be toleraeach other or different viewpoints. Live

harmony with people o different thinkinis a national election year; we may as w

begin practicing now! - http://www.jaincom/literature/story25.htm
