Forward of interest: Startup Website Offers Disaster Updates

DisasterUpdates.com, as the domain name suggests, is a startup website that offers disaster updates. Dave Miller, a spokesman for the website, believes that this website offers disaster updates in an easy to use format.

Said Miller: "Existing web resources were either too specialized or too complex for the average homeowner or businessperson in need of quick disaster information. To this end, the website was specifically designed to be more useful by individuals, families and businesses reacting to a disaster emergency."

While the website was launched during the beginning of hurricane season, it covers other tyeps of disasters such as floods, pandemic flu, wildfires, earthquakes and tsunamis.

Information that can be found on this startup site includes everything from evacuation routes to links to the online FEMA disaster application. While the website looks like it can still use some work, this is the type of niche website that are being launched left and right.

Forward of interest: Stress : Effects of Stress

Stress has many physiological affects on the human body. As we have already learned, certain types of stress can be good, but too much stress can lead to all sorts of problems.

The first thing that stress does is to cause the adrenal glands to start secreting adrenaline and epinephrine. These hormones are produced to help use get ready to fight or run away from a threat. Fortunately, we don't face mortal danger on daily basis anymore; but unfortunately, this means that these hormones just make use feel a lot of anxiety.

The "flight or fight" reaction also causes our body to have an increased metabolism. Your heart rate increases, your breathing speeds up, you start sweating, and your blood sugar levels increase. If you are temporarily escaping from a lion this is a good thing, but if you are living your life in a constant state of stress, this can lead to some serious problems, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Additionally, the body turns off certain unessential functions. After all, if you are running away from a lion there is really no point in wasting energy with things like digestion, reproduction and growth. This is exactly why highly stressed people get ulcers, have trouble getting pregnant and under extreme conditions have stunted growth.

Finding and eliminating stressful parts of our lives is important, but for short term relief, relaxation exercises can be a big help.
