For better or for worse, human beings are primarily emotional creatures. Knowing and understanding that fact will allow anyone to handle heated situations more effectively by using tact.

Tact is defined as “discernment of what is appropriate to say or do in dealing with others; the ability to deal with others without giving offense.” This is a learned skill that does not come naturally to everyone, and can present a significant challenge when one is emotionally involved in a heated situation. However, the benefits of its use far outweigh the effort needed to develop tact in one’s conversations.

As an example, consider the front-line supervisor who must provide necessary counsel to an employee who has been tardy numerous times. The supervisor may be justified in pulling her subordinate in to a conference room and saying “What’s the matter with you, slacker? Get yourself in here on time or don’t bother coming in at all!”

Now, justified or not, this type of approach automatically puts Tardy Tom on the defensive, and he is now likely to become heated and illogical. He may spout all of his frustrations and “legitimate” reasons which have caused him to be late, and he may say some things he will later regret. He may even decide working for this company, or for this supervisor, is not worth this aggravation, and find a way to leave. Obviously, this is not the outcome Tom’s supervisor was looking for. How much better it would have been had she considered Tom’s feelings and approached the matter in a tactful, “how can I help you fix this” manner.

“Tom, I’ve noticed you have had a difficult time getting here in time for the start of your shift. Is there something I can do to help?”

Now Tom has been presented with the problem in such a way that he does not feel personally attacked, therefore he has no need to become emotionally involved. He quickly agrees that he has had a hard time lately, confesses he has been dealing with insomnia, and decides to see his physician for some assistance so the situation no longer affects his work. Both Tom and his supervisor leave the room determined to make things better because Tom’s feelings were spared and his logical side was able to agree with the issue at hand. By handling the situation tactfully, the outcome is positive for everyone.

With the invention of the written word came a new and challenging communication skill that many have a very difficult time mastering. It is the art of effective public reading. The act of reading words aloud that were created for the printed page is not a natural thing. The written word often presents information differently then we would speak it, and the challenge intensifies if we are reading someone else’s thoughts and expressions. Conveying the meaning and flavor of the written passage effectively when reading aloud requires a special combination of skills and talent. It is, however, a valuable ability to develop, and it can be learned.

Preparation is the single most important factor in your success in public reading. If you have the opportunity to prepare before reading aloud, you will find the remaining key skills will be far easier to employ, and you will be more comfortable with the material as well. This will allow you to relax and let the thoughts and ideas flow as if no manuscript existed.

Enthusiasm is also required if you wish people to listen to you when you read aloud. No one wishes to listen to a drab, monotone reading that smacks of sedatives. The public reader must be warm and animated in his delivery, keeping in mind the importance of appropriate volume, sense stress and pitch to convey the feelings expressed in the written word. This will add to the illusion that the information is coming off the top of your head, rather than the sheet of paper in front of you. Listeners are drawn in to a conversational delivery as opposed to a lecture.

Proper emphasis and pausing guarantees the listeners will get the point of the message without having to read it themselves. By emphasizing the main points through appropriate voice inflection (for example, raising the voice to stress the climax of an argument, or lowering it to provide a startling statistic) we control the audience’s understanding of our message. Without the benefit of seeing the punctuation marks and format changes that break up a written page, the listener must rely on you to add the appropriate pausing to provide the proper understanding as well. Short pauses can help to group words in a meaningful way and draw attention to key ideas; longer pauses indicate the conclusion of a main part of the argument.

Together, these skills create a masterful blend that will allow you to take a section of written word and transform it in to a living breathing conversation between yourself and your audience. They will understand and appreciate the information as well as, or better than, they would have if they read it themselves.

A zofran headache is a common side effect of the prescription drug zofran. This drug is used to prevent nausea and vomiting in a variety of patients. It is used a lot with chemotherapy patients and is given post-op to decrease the risk of nausea from anesthesia. It has also been prescribed for severe nausea and vomiting in pregnant women.

But why does the medication cause zofran headaches? We need to look at the way zofran works to understand. It is in a class of drugs called 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. These drugs will block the action of serotonin, which is a chemical found in the brain thought to trigger nausea and vomiting. Zofran will reduce the serotonin, therefore reducing the liklihood of nausea and vomiting.

A headache is thought to begin in the trigeminal nerve, which is located in the brain stem. This nerve carries sensory impulses to and from the face. When stimulated, this nerve will signal the release of serotonin. The serotonin acts as a filter to screen out unimportant signals and will admit signals that demand attention, such as your name being called, a baby’s cry or an unusual sound that could mean danger. The more serotonin present, the greater the screening action. The serotonin will also counteract pain signals in the nerve to reduce headaches. Studies has shown that when given a drug that depletes the serotonin in your brain a headache can result. Since zofran is in the class of drugs that deplete serotonin, it would be reasonable to assume that it could cause a zofran headache.

If you are taking zofran and are having zofran headaches there are a few things that you can do to help. First of all, get plenty of sleep. The more rested you are the better your body may be able to adapt to the medication. Try to maintain a consistent sleep pattern, going to bed and awakening at the same time every day, even on weekends. Drink plenty of fluids to keep well hydrated. Take over the counter headache medicine after taking zofran, if allowed. This may help to counteract the zofran headache. Check with your doctor first to see which headache medicine he recommends.

Zofran has been called a miracle drug by a lot of people, especially people with cancer and pregnant women. It has enabled them to carry on a normal life despite the challenges of their disease or condition. Always make your doctor aware of any side effect that you may be experiencing from your medications. Let him know of any other medications that you may be taking also, including vitamins and herbs. If nausea and vomiting is severe and zofran is the only medication that helps, a zofran
headache may be a small price to pay for some relief.

Physical activity can be defined as the state of being active or movement or energetic action . Some of the benefits of a routine exercise program and physical activity, when conducted for as little as 30 minutes a day, 3 days per week may help reduce your risk for heart disease. However as many as 60% of U.S. adults will never achieve this level of activity nor will they have a routine exercise program.

A routine exercise program can raise the good cholesterol, it can lower mildly elevated blood pressure and routine exercise can also condition the heart muscle and lungs.

Other benefits of a routine exercise program, is that it can help achieve and maintain a healthy body weight while improving circulation. Stressed out? Your routine exercise program can also reduce stress and provide an improved sense of well being. It will also improve your sleep.

If you are not already on a routine exercise program, then start slowly by adding more activity into your day. You should try to accumulate approximately 30 minutes of routine exercise each day.

Some things you can do to get your routine exercise program started are, to walk instead of driving when you are only going short distances. You can walk your dog. Not only is this type of routine exercise program good for you, but your dog as well. When shopping, park your car further from the entrance and walk. These are just a few things you can do to get your routine exercise program of 30 minutes per day on track.

When considering weight loss, a good routine exercise program can burn body fat and is more beneficial when used in combination with a reduced intake of calories. A routine exercise program will also assist in reducing your appetite.

As with all routine exercise programs, before you start on your own, check with your physician and find out what type of routine exercise program is right for you.

Anyone with diabetes is at an increased risk for also getting the condition known as diabetic retinopathy. This condition can seriously affect a diabetic’s vision to the point of causing blindness. It is treatable but needs to be detected before it causes irreversible damage to the eyes.

Diabetic retinopathy is a common condition for those with diabetes and will affect nearly everyone with type 1 diabetes and nearly 60% of those with type 2 diabetes. This disease occurs when the blood vessels in the retina are damaged by the affects of diabetes. As the damage increases vision problems will begin to appear. If left untreated temporary or even permanent blindness will result.

Most diseases and medical conditions will have warning signs that something is wrong before they become more serious. Unfortunately diabetic retinopathy is not one of these types of diseases. There are no early symptoms or warning signs that someone can point to that warns they may be suffering from this condition. For many diabetics it will sneak up on them and damage their sight before they even knew it may be a problem, even though it may have been slowly damaging their eyes over a long period of time.

While diabetic retinopathy is a serious condition there is a way for the diabetic person to keep their eye sight in good condition. By undergoing regular eye exams this condition can be caught and treated before it does irreversible harm to ones eye sight. The only reason that this disease should ever sneak up on anyone and appear out of nowhere is the lack of yearly eye exams. It is up to the individual to take the preservation of their eye sight into the own hands and avoid the complications that retinopathy can cause.

The reason it is important to get regular eye exams is it diabetic retinopathy is caught in its early stages it is treatable. It can be treated using laser photocoagulation surgery with very good results. Unfortunately if it is not caught soon enough the damage may be to great for any form of laser surgery to correct.

Diabetic retinopathy can be a scary disease for any diabetic to deal with. By taking the proper steps to diagnose this sight stealing disease in its early stages chances of effectively treating it are greatest.

It’s time for YOU to step into your own greatness and become a Master Of Muscle yourself.

Now will I be still working on stuff… of course… Just not bodybuilding per se.

Here’s why…

Why You Need To Become a Master

I am moving on to mainstream problems. We are talking about addressing the issues of obesity in the mainstream, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, depression, etc.

Matt and I have been sitting on a collection of health material that is going to shock the world and it needs to be released.

In the last few years Matt and I so deep in discovering the secrets of unlocking the codes to these mysteries that we can’t keep them secret any longer.

It’s our God given duty to bring that information to the masses and we are going to do it. I am sure many of you will be with us in sharing the news to the mainstream when the time comes. The fact is we need you guys to be part of the legion of individuals who are going to give absolute proof the power that the body has to heal itself when given the right materials, and enough workers.

Stuff like Russian Cosmonaut frequency and laser technology, FM frequency healing, light infused supplements, sound therapy, color therapies, revolutionary ways to light, water and oxygen to heal anything and a whole lot more.

Basically the fact is these discoveries need to be brought to the world not just bodybuilders and so that’s where my destiny lies.

I will be moving into the health and well-being field in the next few months and bringing the world the latest technologies and breakthroughs.

Also I have recently taken a position as a content editor for a major Health and Lifestyle magazine, which is set to begin by June of this year.

This position also helps me keep abreast of the foremost developments in the entire industry as well as an ability to get the information to millions of people who are desperate for options.

I am not leaving bodybuilding. I am simply helping a broader range of people who want a better life. People who require hope in what appears to be hopelessness.

Of course my dear friends, I love and cherish every one of you. I love bodybuilding and will continue to train for as long as I can. Bodybuilding has given me a wonderful life and I will be forever grateful for the men and women who came before me and inspired me to be part of this wonderful sport.

The End Of My Journey Is Where Yours Begins

It’s been 20 years since I started as a skinny kid with a broken set of weights in a freezing cold barn in the backwoods of Canada. Who knew that 16 years later I would end up all the way to the other side of the world to compete in the stifling heat of Mumbai, India at the Mr. Universe World Championship.

Now just 4 years since I competed in the Mr. Universe we have helped athletes in over 100 countries build bigger and stronger bodies without using drugs.

20 years is a long time and it’s been a good run. I give thanks to everyone and everybody that’s been a part of it, and now I throw the torch to you.

Sincerely,

Wade McNutt

There are always two sides to every conversation or presentation. Both are equally important, but one always comes easier to us than the other.

Often, in conversation, we use the time when another individual is speaking to formulate our next response or consider completely unrelated topics. It is rare for our attention to be focused intently on the other person’s words. Similarly, when in attendance at a presentation or meeting, it is easy to allow our minds to wander or become engrossed in minor details and distractions, therefore missing the full import of what is being presented to us. But really, if one is not listening intently to what is being said, what is the point of being present?

The following list of points is vital to learning how to listen effectively:

·-Concentrate on Concentration: It may sound strange, but it is not only possible, it is vital to consciously focus our mental energy on the information being presented, or on the words of the associate we are conversing with. It has been estimated that the average speaker speaks at 125 words per minute. At the same time, our mind can comprehend approximately 400 words per minute. That leaves a lot of room for wandering if we allow it. We must pull down a mental curtain that blocks outside thought from interfering with our listening.

·-Take Note: If listening to a presentation, brief notes can serve to keep our ears and mind focused on the material at hand, as well as provide a beneficial means of review later on. Be sure to keep them brief, however, as extensive notes can serve as more of a distraction.

·-Question and Answer: A good indication of one’s ability to listen in conversation is the ability to ask intelligent questions or give appropriate answers when requested. The desire to do so will spur us to remain focused on what is being said. Similarly, when listening to a presentation, the mental questioning of a specific point, and subsequent search for the answer in the speaker’s further presentation, will demand our listening skills remain sharp.

·-Look the Part: Appropriate eye contact with the speaker is not only polite in personal conversation, but also serves to keep outside visual distractions from impairing your ability to listen.

Certainly, our focus on truly listening to the other person, rather than merely hearing them, will go a long way in improving our ability to communicate.

After 10 years of training, studying, and struggling I hired my first personal bodybuilding coach, which was none other than Scott Abel.

I could not have picked a better coach, as Scott just may be the most successful bodybuilding coach of all time… Certainly he is by far the most intellectually capable of any person in the entire industry that I have ever met period. Believe me Scott’s intelligence is in the seriously hi IQ zone.

Bill Pearl stated to all the current experts in bodybuilding, guys like Chis Aceto, Tom Deters and the like “that Scott Abel is going to do great things in this sport” and that was back over 10+ years ago.

With Scott’s guidance I learned the final pieces of the bodybuilding puzzle directly from Scott himself and developed a great relationship with him. After my first Nationals in 98 I hung up the trunks as I went into business, learning the ropes in the supplement industry an area that Scott had steered clear of after the whole “Venice Beach” supplement company scenario went sour.

Sure Scott wrote articles for MuscleTech and also for another company “which he currently sells before and after pictures of his clients too” for there endorsement ads but I can tell you from firsthand experience that he doesn’t recommend any supplements period to his competitive athletes. I know in the years I trained under him he never told me to take one product. It was all training and diet.

Bodybuilding The Natural Way

Now I wanted to go the Natural Route and I realized that the only way bodybuilding was going to get better was if someone somewhere provided a new way to get big and stay healthy without resorting to drugs.

After competing in my first Nationals in 98 as a naïve kid from the backwoods of Canada, I was shocked as I witnessed what really goes on in bodybuilding. Believe me I saw where the sport was headed and it wasn’t pretty. I decided a different route for myself, which led me to work on every level of the supplement industry.

My first few years in the supplement industry was an eye opener as well and I became fully aware of why Scott was so gun shy to be involved with any of the companies.

(Okay I know I am on a tangent… but it’s important to understand the evolution of one’s thoughts, goals, visions, and the historical conclusions one arrives at to illustrate my point)

So in 2002 I decided to compete as a vegetarian to first prove the whole meat thing was a myth and that you could build a terrific physique without pharmaceuticals.

I hired Scott again as my advisor to work with me. He was dead against the vegetarian thing and he warned me that many of the guys I was competing against were beating the test.

I told him ” it wasn’t about winning it was about developing a new possibility for natural athletes”. Scott was skeptical but impressed somewhat with my intentions and commitment. Note - he did not let me know about this until years later but getting a compliment from Scott Abel is not the easiest task in the world… LOL

He agreed to help me but he wasn’t too sure how successful I was going to be given my choices and the “constraints” I was subjecting myself to.

The Failures Within My Own Success

Over the next two years I managed to win the Western Canadians and the National Championships and represent Canada in the World Championships in 2003, which is certainly one of the highlights of my competitive bodybuilding career.

During 2003 though I paid a heavy price for the constant dieting the 5 competitions in 2 years and the current style of training, dieting, and supplementation. The bottom line was there was no way a natural athlete could train and stay healthy.

After the 2003 Mr. Universe I gained 42 pounds of water and fat in just 11 weeks and I was not able to train during this time. This was perhaps one of the biggest challenges of my career.

I vowed to regain my form for the 2004 Nationals, by doing it my way using a much healthier approach. I competed again but during the 6 months leading up to the competition Scott and I butted heads because of my unwillingness to follow the “traditional bodybuilding” dietary protocols.

This was a challenging time as well because I respect Scott so much but on the other hand he didn’t have that much experience with a natural athlete of my caliber, nor one who was a vegetarian etc. My gut instincts told me I needed to forge my own path.

So I managed to get in terrific shape for the 04 Nationals but peaking for the show went sour for the first time ever. The traditional format for peaking did not work with my new diet and I ended up losing the Nationals. Believe me the margin of victory at the top level is extremely small as every body at the top has absolutely fantastic physiques.

This was a crossroads because I had already been working on my system and I had some key nutritional and training strategies that I wanted to test, that the rigors of training would not allow.

The Student Leaves the Master and Discovers…

So with that, I told Scott that I was retiring. As much as I loved competing my heart was not in it because I was getting a whole lot more pleasure out of coaching other Natural bodybuilders and developing my own nutritional products.

Of course I had met Dr. O’Brien and the missing pieces in the supplement picture started to come together and I was gung-ho to give O’Brien’s theories a try in bodybuilding.

So I started furiously testing everything I could for the next 3 years. Training, dieting, etc.

I teamed up with my good friend and kinesiologist Matt Gallant and we built Freaky Big Naturally. We went on to develop the principles behind the Endless Growth programs as well as illustrating the mechanics of exercise in the Elite Exercise Performance guide.

We then went on to develop some of the most powerful supplements in the world using the principles discovered by the premier doctors in the world of health and nutrition.

MassZymes, hemp protein, and soon to come our own probiotics formula are all products of that amazing journey.

We also found out how to make healthy gourmet raw food that makes getting bigger stronger and more ripped a pleasure as opposed to a chore.

We also combined and tested all the training integrations and came up with the Mastery Training Courses…, which are broken into three distinct styles…. Power, Size, and Endurance.

I also found a way to illustrate how to build, combine, and manipulate your training to produce any result that you want. In other words I illustrate how I think, and how to design your own personalized programs geared specifically for your goals and your genetics.

I Return to Seek Out My Old Master

Which brings me back to the story with Scott.

Scott and I have the deepest respect for each other. We talk regularly and we routinely trade information on training, diets, supplements and the state of bodybuilding today.

The fact is we have become peers contributing to the sport that we love and have moved way beyond the coach client relationship. Several of the athletes who came to him with severe metabolic damage have been successfully treated using new training protocols and my enzyme product.

Keep in mind my enzyme products never would have been developed if I had stayed with Scott. Nor would have hemp protein become so popular as the ultimate protein supplement and finally the probiotics formulation I recently developed would have never have come to be.

The reason all this happened is because I broke out, trusted my instincts, and went down the path that my heart followed. I refused the drugs, I didn’t accept the normal “bodybuilding ways” and I went deep into extremely advanced super nutrition with some of the greatest doctors the world has ever seen and brought that back to the bodybuilding world.

That’s what every great student eventually needs to do… break away from the master and become a master themselves. This is what leads to the evolution of the planet. It is also the creative spirit that needs to be injected into this sport instead of a bigger syringe of juice.

Scott has been overjoyed with my recent discoveries and it’s also led him down a different path to some new breakthroughs himself. Now together we are both better off, and so is the sport and we are not stopping.

Writer’s block. The bane of the creative existence. Few if any, having put pen to paper, have not struggled with the ominous blank page and the endless possibilities it holds.

But what about the opposite extreme? The creative departments of many companies churn out page after page of dull, uneventful copy day after day, week after week, for years! Why? Because they need to sell the same products or services to essentially the same people, over and over again. They have no problem knowing what to say, but they have lost the ability to say it well!

In steps the Freelance Copywriter, ready and willing to breathe new life into the stale copy. The value of a new set of eyes on an old problem should never be underestimated. A fresh point of view and the talent and ability to turn that point of view into a powerful and original statement is the number one reason a freelance writer may be just what your company needs to get out of a creative funk!

In today’s roller-coaster economy, it simply makes sense for a company to do everything in their power to cut costs and lower their overhead. At the same time, no company wants to diminish the quality of their products or services to accomplish this. In the area of written communications, (i.e. advertising and public relations, speeches, audio/video scripting, sales letters, etc.) the work of a staff writer or writers who have been trying desperately to find new and exciting ways to say essentially the same things may be waning. It is a combination of these reasons that often leads a company to the doorstep of a Freelance Commercial Writer:

1.-A freelance writer often works alone, perhaps even from his or her home. This translates to very low overhead, which can be passed on to the client in the form of a competitive price for the service.

2.-Since the freelance writer is not on the company’s payroll, there is no lost wages for sick time, vacation time, personal time, benefit packages or retirement plans.

3.-The freelance writer, by definition, will have worked on numerous different projects, and therefore is in a unique position to bring a new point of view to the project that may simply be beyond the hard-working staff writers whose creative juices have slowed to a trickle.

4.-Finally, the freelance writer’s livelihood depends on their providing a high-quality service that will encourage the client to return again and again. Therefore, every piece of writing that is presented to the client is going to be the best the writer can do.

These factors combine to make a Freelance Commercial Writer an indispensable tool in the advertising and public relations campaigns of many companies worldwide.

So what is the value of a fresh view? It very well may be the success of your next campaign!
