Death Rejection Score (DRS) – A New Qualitative Measurement System For Adjustment With Death

In the year of 2003 a research was conducted in Bangladesh under the supervision of Bircham International University on a subject relating to the adjustment of death (of oneself) as a natural fact for every healthy individual. As during the time of research no such similar previous study were available on the topic, some self-arranged scoring system had to be established in order to measure some critical criteria like adjustment with the phenomenon of death.

Among all the researches on the acceptance of death for the dying or terminally ill person, the Kubler-Ross’s research is the most significant. It yielded a staging of the acceptance of the truth for the dying. The stages were 1) denial, 2) anger, 3) bargaining, 4) depression, and 5) acceptance. For the purpose of the convenience of the research, in Bangladesh, the stages were reviewed in a reverse manner. Thus the stages, in the reverse manner, turned to the stages or levels of rejecting death. It was clearly evident from the Kubler-Ross research that the earlier stages, described by her, were less mature and the later stages were more mature in terms of adjustment with death. So in the sense of ordinal scoring with the reverse sequence of the stages of Kubler-Ross, it was assumed that acceptance stage should get the least score from the view point of rejecting death. Thus depression, bargaining, anger and denial stages should get the scores in a gradually increasing manner. As it was a qualitative measurement approach, scoring by ordinal manner was the most feasible option too. But one thing that was kept in mind that accepting death fully (100%) should not be accounted as a normal event because it is the highest sort of stress in all the psychiatric and psychological stress scales. So finally the name for the score against the stages was chosen as the “Death Rejection Score” (DRS) that stood as follows:

Death Rejection Scores (DRS)

Stage………………………………………………………………………………………Score

Acceptance————————————————————————–01

Depression————————————————————————–02

Bargaining ————————————————————————–03

Anger———————————————————————————04

Denial——————————————————————————–05

This scoring was successfully used for the procedure of the research. The results were tabulated and statistical calculation yielded significant inference. Finally when the research was submitted to the academic board of the university, it was accepted and also graded as an ‘Excellent’ one. It is worth mentioning that the staging of Kubler-Ross was meant for the dying, but the DRS was meant for anybody who knows that he or she will die someday but does not know how or when.

Automatic Watches and Watch Winders – A Brief Overview

Automatic watches, also known as self-winding watches, have been around since the 1930’s, but experienced a decline in popularity with the introduction of quartz watches in the 1970’s. However, in recent years there has been a renewed interest in, and a revival of sales of this type of watch. This article provides a brief overview of what an automatic watch is, and how it can be wound automatically even when not being worn.

What is an Automatic Watch?

An automatic watch – like the traditional mechanical watch – contains a set of gears and a wound spring that gradually releases energy to power the watch and keep accurate time. Despite its name though, the self-winding watch can only wind itself through movement of the wearers wrist or arm, or by means of a mechanical winding device.

Fortunately, this type of watch does not need to be wound up every day as it contains a power reserve that provides enough energy to keep the watch accurately ticking for up to four days. As long as it is worn every other day or so, the watch will stay wound nearly indefinitely. Should it not be worn regularly however, the “self-winding watch” will run down just like any regular hand wound mechanical watch.

Enter the Automatic Watch Winder

To solve this problem, the “automatic watch winder” was developed – an ingenious device that will keep a self-winding watch wound up even when not being worn for a length of time. This device mechanically mimics the movement of the wrist, and winds the watch so it maintains accurate time, stays properly lubricated, and is ready to wear whenever needed.

A Beautiful Display Case

In addition to keeping the watch wound up and ready to go, a watch winder box can also serve as a display case perfect for showcasing your beautiful watch. Watch winders are constructed of a variety of materials including plastic, wood, leather, and metal, and come in configurations that can display and wind single, dual, or multiple watches simultaneously.

Popular Makes

Some of the more well known makers of automatic watchwinders include Orbita, Wolf, Steinhausen, Belocia and Eilux, Garmin, Regency, Tech Swiss and Rothenchild. Depending on the brand, construction material, and configuration, watch winders vary greatly in price, ranging from about $30 for entry level units all the way up to several thousand dollars for multi-unit premium cases.

Where to Find

You can find automatic watchwinders at a number of online stores in a wide range prices and styles. With so much variety to choose from, you can be sure to find the right watch winder device that will perfectly meet your unique needs.

5 Ways to Extend the Life of Your House Roofing

Who doesn’t want to have a house roofing that lasts forever? We all want to, but reality tells us that roofs have expiry date. They expire through time. Gradually, they weaken and will call for replacement. However, you can extend the life of your house roofing for a little while by conducting regular maintenance.

Maintenance is done by checking the strengths and weaknesses of your roof every now and then. The roof inspectors and maintenance experts will solve any issues they see and will advice proper prevention techniques whenever necessary.

To get you started, here are some maintenance tips to extend the life of your house roofing through the help of professional roofers.

Repair Leaks or Damages Right Away

One of the best tips to lengthen the life expectancy of any roofing structure is to take care of any damage or leaks soon as you notice them. Don’t neglect even the smallest problems, which can only make things worse. If you are in a hurry, then you can take note of the issue you saw and get back to it later on or call your roofing experts for advice.

Most homeowners feel nervous about the cost of roof replacement and may assume that they can live with some leaks here and there to save money. What they don’t know is that they can save more money if they call in the help of professionals at the soonest time possible who can fix tiny problems before they get bigger. Don’t wait for the problem to get bigger. Move, take action as soon as you see them.

Prevention of Mildew, Moss and Mold Growth

Anything which grows on your roof can possibly break down the materials and lead to serious damages in time. Professional roofing contractors can address this issue using the right solutions. They can remove the moss and other mold growth on your roof and prevent them from coming back.

Keep the Gutters and Roof Free from Debris

Whether your gutters have a buildup of fallen leaves or a large branch that broke off from the nearby tree, it is a must to clear any clutter off on a regular basis. A large branch will not only scrape and damage the shingles but clogged gutters can also create a water backflow which can cause rot or damaging ice beneath the shingles and even into your home. So it is always best to clean your roofs regularly.

Search for Signs of Insect or Animal Damage

Another important thing to look out for when you are in your attic is for any sign of insect damage or animal activity. You might not be aware that mice, raccoons and squirrels have found their way to your attic for shelter and warmth. Of course, you can always find insects everywhere and can cause as much damage in time. Search for droppings, spots where wood is chewed, burrow holes or any other kind of holes.

Check around Skylights, Utilities and Chimneys

Any spot in your home where the roof has been interrupted by a skylight, pipe, chimney or other items must be inspected carefully and regularly for signs of damage. Check the crawlspace or attic below the roof and search for signs of mold or water coming into the house. Rusted nails and discolored boards could indicate some form of leak.

Just a simple word of reminder: before you try any of these roof maintenance tips, ensure that everything is perfectly secure and safe. Better, ask assistance from the roofing experts in your locality. Ask recommendations from your friends so you can choose the best.

Understand and Move Toward the Seven Goals of Mourning

Can you minimize unnecessary suffering when mourning the death of a loved one? Is grief always totally disabling? What choices are there to manage the intensity and sadness? These questions go to the heart of the issue of understanding the grief process at a time when we are disorganized and in need of support.

What occurs in the lives of most mourners–and it may be happening to you– is that they often are not aware of their choices, and where they should be putting their effort to ease their pain. Specifically, the search is for direction in how and what to do to face the loss, move through it, and begin a life without the loved one.

Here are seven major goals to work toward in coping with your great loss that will help you adapt to a new world.

1. Accept the reality of what has occurred. The single most important goal of grieving is to accept the death of the loved one. Intellectually this is relatively easy to do. One can say yes to the fact that death occurred. In terms of the deep emotional connection to the loved one, however, acceptance is commonly much more difficult, and denial often prevails. Continually facing the pain of reality and expressing it day by day gradually leads to true acceptance.

2. Normalize the emotional pain of separation. The thought of separation can bring the deepest pain ever experienced. Despair, depression, anger, feelings of emptiness, confusion, helplessness, and loss of control are common. They spawn thoughts of no future, much loneliness, and being unloved. Emotions by themselves are neither good or bad; its what we do with them that counts. They are managed by talking them out with trusted friends and continually telling yourself that these are expected human responses.

3. Confront the physical pain of separation. Many individuals do not realize that grief has a heavy physical component until it’s too late. They become ill, experience nausea, lose weight, and can’t eat or sleep. When you grieve, every cell in your body grieves. Negative thoughts and the stress they add eventually compromise the immune system. Your physical feeling and condition will further impact your emotional state. Taking daily breaks to rest and take some nourishment is essential to prevent illness.

4. Discover and mourn your secondary losses. Grief often seems to intensify at various times after you feel you are doing well. Usually this can be attributed to not recognizing and grieving secondary losses which accompany all major losses. Has the death of your loved one shattered your dreams and expectations, caused you to relocate, change your job, or reduced your social circle? These and many other secondary losses, which may come months or years later, must be mourned and some of them can be more demanding than the death itself.

5. Begin to reinvest in life and establish new routines. Grief commonly involves the need to take your emotional energy and invest it in new projects, purposes, and rewarding pursuits. This is a slow process which also dictates that old routines have to be abandoned and new ones adopted. It in no way means you are forgetting the beloved; it implies that your loss means new roles, responsibilities, and assuming tasks formerly assigned to your loved one. The hours you used to spend with him or her will now change depending on the path you take.

6. Accept and release sad reminders. We are wired to recall memories of all kinds, some of which can be extremely useful (loving memories) and others which need to be gently released. Again, it is normal to be reminded of your loved one any time you are doing something that you used to do together. It can be painful and sad, in which case you accept the reminder and not dwell on it. The key is to switch your attention away from it and tell yourself it is normal to have these memories. Gradually, they lessen in impact.

7. Establish a new relationship with the deceased and risk again. Few mourners are encouraged by friends and relatives to establish a new relationship with the deceased. So it is often done in a less than open way. Death does not end a relationship; it changes it. You can learn to love in separation, which means it is healthy to talk to your deceased loved one, if you wish. Establishing a new relationship will free you to risk again, face the unknown, and continue to engage the new world in which you live.

Part of loving in separation involves cherishing memories, speaking openly about the deceased, remembering him or her at celebrations, and living the lessons taught. Thomas Moore in Dark Nights of the Soul put it this way, “Maybe if we honored the dead more, we would know better what it means to have reverence for life…”

As you grieve your loved one, evaluate how you are progressing with meeting the goals of mourning. Every major loss carries hidden gifts because it is a natural part of life. Look carefully for and focus on them. And if you think you are stuck in your grief, seek out a best friend and discuss your fears. Persist. Never permit death to have the last word. You will come through your grief with new awareness and uncover a new outlook on life.

Five Possible Reasons That Prevent You From Achieving Your Goals

Probably no one of us started out in life saying, “I hope I’ll end messing up everything.” Just like everyone else, all of us have the best intentions in all areas of life: relationships, health, careers or business endeavors, as well as recreational pursuits that will contribute to our personal growth.

And yet, to leave everything to chance, or to assume that success in achieving our goals is a matter of luck, is a dangerous presumption. We are deluded if we believe that fate determines the ultimate fulfillment of our goals.

Sit back and take a good look at your life right now. Have you achieved most of your goals, or at least, gradually getting to that point? If you’re feeling dissatisfied, consider the following as the possible culprits that hold you back:

(1.) Your goals lack clarity.

Before making a definite plan to go after what you want, first you need to decide what it is that you want. Different people set goals for different reasons. There is most likely an underlying motive that serves as the driving force behind every worthwhile goal.

If you only have a vague or hazy idea regarding what you want, you won’t feel compelled enough to take action.

(2.) Your goals are in conflict with one another.

Some people make an effort to work on several goals at once. This is perfectly all right if each separate goal complements, or is in sync, with one another. To illustrate, let’s say your goal is to learn a foreign language, like Spanish. You then make up your mind that the best way to learn is to take an intensive course in a foreign language school.

So to be able to afford the tuition fee, you take in odd jobs in addition to your nine-to-five, like waiting on tables at the Spanish restaurant near your place in order to become familiar with the cuisines.

Now, if you’re a high school student and you want to qualify for an academic scholarship in college yet you spend most of your time going out with friends because you also consider a social life to be important, this can cause conflict. Make sure that if you want to get on the right track towards a scholarship, strike a balance between doing homework and finding time for friends.

(3.) Your goals are unrealistic.

While it’s good to set a goal that will challenge you to stretch beyond your capacities, there are some goals that are impossible to achieve given a certain time frame. A very good example of an unrealistic goal is to aim to lose 20 pounds in just one month.

A more feasible plan of action would be to whittle away a pound or two a week, not by drastically changing your diet, but by making small sacrifices like skipping desserts, cutting back on soda, or getting up 15 minutes earlier every morning to exercise.

Your goals may also be considered unrealistic if you wish to work in a certain type of career, trade, or profession and yet, you have absolutely no talent or aptitude, or even the right credentials, to have a fighting chance to succeed in that career.

For example, a career in sales requires that a person is by nature gregarious and enjoys frequent person-to-person contact. Individuals who are introverted or have to summon up enough courage before making cold calls are not suited to be salespeople.

(4.) You have no idea if you’ve made progress.

Goals, in order to be effective, need to be measurable. Ask yourself, “Am I moving towards the direction that I desire?” or “Am I achieving what I’m supposed to achieve?”

Devise a system that will allow you to keep track of your progress. Assess yourself regularly to see if you’ve made improvement.

There are times when the results of the goals that people set aren’t tangible. I’ve heard parents say, “I want to grow closer to my children.” Closeness can never be quantified. Usually, to grow closer to their children, parents would need to schedule more quality time with them. While fathers are expected to provide, a mother may decide to give up her career, or juggle her schedule so she can come home early to join her family for dinner a couple of times a week. A father can keep most of his weekends free so he can take his kids camping or biking.

(5.) You’re not fully committed.

Goal setting requires hard work, determination, and a willingness to delay gratification. Making constant excuses or relaxing your resolve when the going gets tough won’t bring you to the completeness of your goals.

The Importance of Hiring a Property Management Company

In this age of independence and mindset that one can manage on his own, it is inevitable that a property owner would think he will do fine on his own. Sure, you got tenants who at first, pay on time until gradually they won’t, some will breach the contract and lease terms, then they cause problems with the neighbors and other tenants, then slowly you will notice you are losing money and when you decide to evict the tenant, next thing you know, you have a lawsuit at your doorstep.

The reality is if you use the services of a professional property management company, not only do you have peace of mind, your investment is protected and the consistent cash flow you receive through rent can assist you to buy additional investment properties.

This is why you need the assistance of a property management company, but before that, we will determine the pointers on why it is important to hire one.

Determining the Worth of Your Property

The problem with inexperienced owners is that sometimes they get overwhelmed on how they price their property to the market: oversell and you have to deal with the high vacancy rate with no profit, undersell and you will realize you are slowly losing profit. This is where a property management company comes in, they will help you determine a balanced meal where you gain tenants and continue to rake in profit.

A property management company is also well-versed in marketing your property and placing ads where it will attract tenants. They will answer any inquiry and they know what entices a prospective tenant, therefore will help you point out some cosmetic improvements so that the tenants will feel that renting your property is worthy of their money.

Avoiding Major Problems with Tenants

Screening tenants would not be one of your problems anymore because the property management company will take care of it. They know too well how to check the background of the interested tenants, their criminal records, their relationship with previous property owners and if they have ever caused problems before. Think of it as helping you weed out the bad ones for a healthy and bountiful crop.

Collecting rents is the most common problem in renting out your property. When left to your own devices, having your tenants pay you on time will become a child’s play of hiding and seek between them and you as the property owner, certainly some tenants will tug at your heartstrings and gain your sympathy with the hope that you will let them get away with it. A property management company, however, will become the middleman who will ensure that the tenants abide by the lease terms and should understand that they are just doing their job for you, keeping your cash flow consistent.

Maintenance

When a tenant has reached the end of the contract, the grueling process of turnover will usually keep you busy as a property owner, but with a property management company by your side, that is another pile of stress that will be taken care of. Any deductions from the security deposit will be made and returned to the tenant, and the restoration process of repairing any damages, repainting, changing locks and cleaning the property would be done without getting your own hands dirty.

As a property management company, expect that they know the right people to contact should there be any problems with leaks, wiring, and plumbing experienced by the tenants and their dilemmas will be addressed promptly.

Saving Time and Money

A successful businessman knows that delegating tasks is key for a successful business so that one can have more time to deal with other business ventures. With almost everything being taken care of, it seems like the only thing left to do is to visit your property at a certain time interval and continue to rake in profit while having more time to spend it with your family, social life, other priorities, and investments.

IN CONCLUSION

Hiring a property management company takes care of the burden for you, especially if you are well aware that marketing, confronting tenants with late payments and handling maintenance are not your strongest points especially if managing your property is not the only priority you have in your busy life. Therefore delegating this task to a reliable property management company may just be one of the best decisions you have ever made.

How Can You Tell If A Tarot Reader Is Psychic?

After I had had a number of readings, I started to think about how it was possible for someone to predict what would happen to me as time went by. I wondered if certain things would only happen because I had ended up believing that they would happen.

If this was the case, it was as though a reader was planting seeds in mind; seeds that I would water overtime. Through giving energy to these seeds, they would gradually end up growing into plants and trees.

It’s Your Choice

I ended up having a reading with someone who said that nothing was set in stone and that everything could change when I went back out into the world again. This person was aware of how the mind worked and didn’t want me to believe that I didn’t have a choice.

I thought that what he said sounded accurate, or it would mean that I was just an observer of my life. If this was the case, there would be absolutely nothing I could do if something unpleasant was predicted to happen further down the line.

Looking Back

Certain things I was told would happen happened, while there were things I was told would happen that didn’t. I would often wonder if this was the result of me changing my behaviour after I had the reading.

What also crossed my mind was whether or not a lot of what I was told was completely inaccurate. There was no way that I could really answer these questions; in order to do that, I would have to go back in time.

A Messenger

Someone ended up shedding some light on all this while I was volunteering a number of weeks ago. We were talking about tarot card readings and I was asked if I had had any.

I said that I had had a few over the years and that some of the things that they said would happen did happen. After I said this, he said that a great way to find out if someone is psychic is to ask them about your past.

Clear Evidence

The reason for this was that what has happened in the past is not going to change. Therefore, if a reader can give a detailed account of what someone has been through, there is a strong chance that they are psychic.

I thought that this was a great way to see if a reader had this ability or if they were just having a go anyway. Up until that point, I hadn’t thought of a way of finding out if someone was psychic.

Final Thoughts

So, do you think that this is a good way to find out if someone is psychic? Do you have another way of finding out if a reader is the real deal?

I Feared for Menopause

I never knew this day would come so soon but I was dazed when my naturally “overflow or heavy” menstrual period was “scarily scanty.”

I foolishly called my friend telling her I was close to menopause. This is absurd but nothing else came to my mind at that time. I just turned 30 years and my best friend thinks my biological clock is ticking, now am faced with this, so I blamed it on menopause, “that simple” I thought.

Menopause is the period in a woman’s life, when menstrual periods stops permanently and during this time, she can’t conceive because the function of the ovary ceases too.

This process happens gradually, Not Overnight and it varies in women’s life too between the age of 45 – 55 years.

I began to manufacture unrealistic symptoms on my head, “you can’t imagine,” but symptoms of menopause include abnormal virginal bleeding, hot flashes, virginal and urinary disease(s) among others, according to researches.

I thought of the possibilities of this happening now and so many unimaginable things. I can’t tell why I always think of the worse of all situations and this makes me get angry easily.

At that point all I needed was a shrink to talk me out of this scary tale.

Further research revealed that hypnosis will help my habit of thinking worse of situations, as this will give me a clearer perspective “I wasn’t wrong when I said I needed a shrink.”

Forgive me if I over panicked but what was I supposed to do? That finally “karma” caught up with me, because I can remember how hard I laughed at a friend’s ignorance, when she had similar issue at age 20 and blamed it on menopause, “here I am Ten years later.”

The research continued and here are reasons for abnormality in menstrual, which I settled for.

It exposed the fact that most women experience abnormal bleeding at some point, it could be long/ short periods, heavy or light periods or even missed periods and this is due to hormonal imbalance.

Hormonal imbalance can rise from dramatic changes in weight, vigorous exercise, excessive stress, or even as a side effect of some medications.

Although, early menopause in women can happen before the age of 40, but can be caused by some certain medical treatments or could be genetic.

What a scare I gave to myself! I still have time afterall, knowing that my biological clock was perfect is a relief.

… and as I look forward to living life the best way I can… I pray to age with grace.

5 Great Kitchen and Washroom Countertop Options for 2021

Kitchens and Washrooms with great design and aesthetic appeal are essential aspects of modern homes. The year 2021 is expected to bring even more innovations in this area as people would supposedly be spending more time in their respective houses. As more and more people are exploring their culinary skills, kitchens have become their favourite mini picnic spot. A spacious kitchen built keeping ergonomics in mind is complemented very well by a good kitchen countertop. All of these add to make your cooking experience enjoyable and worthwhile. Similarly, a wise selection of your washroom countertops can give it a look that stands out. Let us look at some of the Washroom/Bathroom Countertops options that promise to be trendy in 2021.

  1. Quartz & Quartzite Countertops: Quartz countertops are increasingly becoming most sought-after choice for Kitchen Countertops. Quartz is actually a natural stone; however, it is engineered to make it a great choice for your countertops/worktops which proves to be even more durable than Granite & Marble. These countertops are made in such a way that they become scratch resistant and non-porous. Since they are non-absorbent, they do not pick up stains. Apparently, they require almost no maintenance. Also, you have plethora of choices when it comes to choosing the colors, patterns and tones of quartz countertops. A great choice is certainly a boost to your luxurious and stylish living. Please note however that they are not a good option for outdoor kitchens because they would gradually loose colors under the sun.

    Quartzite Countertops are also used extensively; however, they are different from Quartz in a way that they are not engineered and are natural stones like granite & marble. Quartzite is formed through natural pressure and heating and is made up of more than 90% of quartz. While it is quite hard, it is also porous in nature that means it can absorb liquids and pick up stains. Also, complex quartzite installations prove to be costlier because natural stones require customized cutting due to extra hardness. Hence, it is more likely that Quartz would be preferred over Quartzite Countertops.

  1. Porcelain Countertops: Americans are always in lookout for a different and yet stylish surface for their countertops. As a result, Porcelain Countertops are now becoming increasingly popular in America. They have already been among coveted countertop options in the Europe. Non-porous ceramic clay is baked in extremely high temperatures to produce porcelain countertops. This makes them resistant to scratches, cracks, heat, and UV rays. Considering that they are protected from UV rays, they are a good option for outdoor kitchens as well. Porcelain Countertops patterns are not as deep as granite and marble countertops though. Also, since they mostly imported from Europe, they may not provide a very good value for money when compared to quartz countertops. However, it will continue to remain in demand due to its uniqueness.

  2. Soapstone Countertops: Soapstone Countertops are high quality and low maintenance countertop options. Soapstone is again a natural stone made from quarried stones and there are lesser color options to choose from and yet it offers stunning design options. The color options vary from white to charcoal and there aren’t any pink, blue or green options available. Soapstone is non-porous and hard that make it scratch and stain resistant and it would not even develop cracks easily. Considering that they assure you of 20+ years of durability, they certainly become an in-vogue option for your kitchen and washroom countertops.

  3. Marble Countertops: Marbles are very commonly used as kitchen and washroom countertops. Marbles are metamorphic rocks, and they attain a crystalline nature because of their formation through re-crystallization. This makes them suitable for polishing. Their stunning looks and ultra-durability make them timeless, classic and much coveted as Kitchen and Washroom countertops. However, they are softer than granite and more porous in nature that makes them more vulnerable to picking stains and scratches. Still, their costs-effectiveness will keep them in demand as always.

  4. Granite Countertops: Granite’s popularity might have reduced a little because of Quartz; however, it continues to remain popular. While Granite Kitchen Countertops are a commonplace, Granite bathroom countertops are also very extensively sought after. This natural stone is exceptionally durable and heat resistant. It also boasts of various colors and textures and easily available in black, blue, green, and red etc. Hence, there is no dearth of options to choose from and their budget friendliness is a plus. They do require sealing from time to time though as they are porous in nature. Still, they will continue to offer a great alternative and bring great value to your home.
