Some suggestions that immediately spring to mind are:Take regular physical exercise: This will improve bloodflow and oxygenation in the brain, and good general health promotes good mental health. (I can highly recommend Tai Chi for people of all ages and physical abilities. Many people also recommend yoga for similar reasons.)Make sure you get enough sleep: Numerous studies have shown that lack of sleep can impair mental function in the areas of alertness, attention span, concentration, short-term and long-term memory, problem-solving, reaction time, visual and auditory acuity, and so on - i.e. pretty-much every area of mental function! Sleep - and especially the right mixture of deep and REM sleep - is vital for maintaining good mental health. (Note that both physical exercise (see above) and meditation (see below) can promote healthy, regular sleep patterns.)Eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in 'brain foods': Your brain needs certain essential nutrients to perform at an optimum level, particularly with regard to neurotransmitter-precursors, electrolytes (i.e. salts) and fuel (primarily glucose). By eating a healthy, balanced diet rich in fruits, grains, vegetables and proteins (especially from animal protein, e.g. chicken, dairy products and fish), you will ensure that your body is getting the right amounts of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, amino acids and micro-nutrients and can maintain healthy brain function without having to buy expensive dietary supplements (some of which work, but many of which don't).If you are a smoker, STOP!: The various toxins in cigarette smoke can impair brain function in various ways, and have been linked to long-term cognitive decline.Moderate your alcohol intake: Drinking alcohol in moderation, especially when combined with socializing, can be beneficial for brain function in various ways. But excessive alcohol consumption can impair brain function, both acutely and chronically, and may, in extreme circumstances, cause permanent cognitive impairment.Learn meditation, e.g. Mindfulness: Meditation has numerous proven beneficial effects on brain function, such as improved concentration, attention span, creativity and alertness.Try smart drugs, i.e. nootropics (if you can obtain them legally, of course) : There is some evidence - some clinical, some merely anecdotal - that these can boost mental function in the areas of concentration, alertness, memory, mental stamina and so on. (Unfortunately, nootropics can be quite expensive and difficult to obtain in some countires.)Regularly expose your brain to novel learning challenges, e.g. learning a new language, musical instrument, area of mathematics, etc.: This will promote mental plasticity and versatility. (And I genuinely believe that learning any area of mathematics, in particular, will probably boost your IQ by a few points; mathematics is an excellent mental workout, as it exercises logical, numerical, visual, creative problem-solving and other forms of abstract reasoning, as well as improving concentration and mental stamina.)Join a general knowledge quiz team: This will improve the brain's ability for rapid recall of frequently random, unconnected and obscure pieces of information. It is also a very sociable pastime in the company of usually quite smart, interesting people (see below).Cultivate friendships with intelligent, educated people, and make a point of meeting up with them regularly for stimulating conversation on a diverse range of subjects: Through challenging intellectual discussion with intelligent people you will be exposed to novel ideas and fresh perspectives, and will learn the ways in which intelligent people think and express themselves, and these will often rub off on you.Watch a diverse range of educational TV programmes, i.e. documentaries, factual films and current affairs programmes, and be more discriminating in your viewing generally: This will improve your general knowledge and expand your conversational repertoire (and thereby your social confidence), and you may discover new interests. (An excellent online source of documentaries on numerous subjects is www.topdocumentaryfilms.com)Read at least one 'serious' book per week, and diversify your reading: This will improve your vocabulary and verbal intelligence, and increase your general knowledge and conversational repertoire. You can also boost your verbal intelligence with various free online language resources, such as Find out how strong your vocabulary is and learn new words at Vocabulary.com. (which I do recommend).Play a mentally challenging computer game: First-person shoot-em-ups and racing games are fine for honing your reaction time and exercising your trigger finger, but don't offer much in the way of mental stimulation. So instead, choose a game that involves learning complex rules and strategies, and demands a variety of mental skills. (I might be biased, but I think the game I play beats all others hands-down in this respect - EVE. It is quite simply the deepest, most complex and sophisticated computer game ever developed (and it runs on the most powerful gaming supercomputer on the internet, called Tranquility), as well as being visually breath-taking. 'A game designed by geniuses for geniuses', as a friend once described it. Go to the EVE Online YouTube channel and watch some of the videos (some produced by players) EVE Online and you'll see what I mean :o) ). Or read this article about the unique appeal and intellectual demands of the game: Why is EVE Still a Thing? And then, if it looks intriguing, download the client, create an account, and start playing. EVE is now free-to-play up to a certain level, so you can ‘try-before-you-buy’. Should you then decide that you want to experience all the game has to offer, upgrading to a full account is very inexpensive - currently less than 10 GBP per month for UK players.Use brain-training software that has demonstrated some improvements in working memory and fluid intelligence: Most brain-training computer games do not produce the cognitive benefits that they claim, because they generally only train you to become better at playing that particular game; the improvements are not transferable to other types of brain-training games or translatable into improvements in general cognitive abilities. However, one brain-training game that has demonstrated measurable improvements in general cognitive abilities, specifically in the areas of working memory and fluid intelligence, is Dual N-Back. Even better, the game is free to download and use.

By a process of systematically questioning the factual basis of these beliefs, and coming to the realization that they are actually groundless, they can let go of them, and finally unleash their true potential. I know a girl who had such self-limiting beliefs, and worked as a humble office secretary, until one day she took the Mensa IQ test, and passed it. She now has a PhD in astrophysics, a rewarding career, and has never been happier. And the moral of that story is simple - dare to believe in yourself!:o)[1] This is known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect, where people of lower than average intelligence tend to over-estimate their intelligence, whereas people of higher than average intelligence tend to under-estimate their intelligence.

Bento was discontinued and I am not familiar with Tap Forms, but I have been designing custom software using the FileMaker family of products for over 20 years. As Doron wrote, FileMaker is a very flexible tool for managing data like Excel and Google Docs. But FileMaker's real strength is in custom software. FileMaker, Inc. has maintained FileMaker Pro's simplicity so a teacher can whip up a database to track a class experiment or a bride manage a wedding. But FileMake, Inc. has also given developers advanced capabilities so they can create robust solutions for clients large and small. Probably the best way to illustrate this would be to describe some of the solutions I have built over the years.District Attorney Case Management. We automated a large district attorney's office, including officer intakes, warranting, grand jury management, District and Circuit court case management, indictments, restitution recovery, and more.Eye bank management. We have built solutions that run one of the largest eye banks in the world and a newer version runs some small to medium sized eye banks. These solutions allow call center counsellors to efficiently screen potential tissue donors, technicians to thoroughly document and evaluate procured tissues, track offers to surgeons and researchers, manage quality assurance and regulatory compliance, run statistics, mange supplies, etc.Software sales. One of our solutions manages sales of consumer software products for an international software vendor. It interacts with orders placed on a high volume ecommerce site and triggers the availability of in-app purchases in their iOS apps.Large print shop job tracking. Manage print and promotional product jobs through the entire process from creative, through legal review, online fulfillment, typesetting, many printing processes, shipping and shipment tracking, accounting, reporting, and workflow management. Automatically pulls in orders placed online, including PDF impositions. Pulls and pushes orders from enterprise purchasing systems.Field service personnel. A few clients have large field staff who clock hours, mileage, and expenses on their iPhones, record installations and inspections on iPads, write estimates, communicate with accounting departments, etc.We also have many smaller solutions that manage retail stores, fire dues, and the list goes on and on. All these are built in FileMaker Pro and most touch other systems as the clients' needs demand. I hope this helps you see how versatile FileMaker is.

[email protected] OF A PHYSIO IN GYMWhy Get a Body Postural Assessment?Before you start any exercise program, it's important to get a postural and core assessment. A body assessment shows how your muscles and joints work together and if there are any imbalances to be corrected.Your trainer or fitness expert does a "needs analysis" to see what muscles are short and tight versus long and weak. If a person has an ankle sprain on the left side, an assessment will show if his or her walk has been altered. This will also show how the person compensates one side versus the other side. The body naturally wants to use its stronger side, which can cause torsion in the pelvic musculature and core stabilizers.The body functions at its best when it's in correct posture. When the body is in correct postural alignment, it moves evenly and distributes weight appropriately. The muscles, joints and spine work together help you perform your best at any sport without pain. If something is out of alignment, injury can occur and you'll have to spend time recovering from the injury.After your body assessment comes a base conditioning phase. This will help prevent injuries. A base conditioning phase is where your trainer or coach watches you do basic exercises to look for any imbalances and how your body moves during exercises. This is when your trainer or coach can correct and teach you proper form. Think of this as a foundation for your workout. You wouldn't build a house without a foundation. The house would just crumble down. It's the same thing; you need to get the foundation of your body's movement down first before you can move onto more advanced moves. This will help you prevent injury.Many times people take group classes and perform advanced moves, like the Olympic snatch, and do the move completely wrong. The body remembers bad form. According to corrective and high performance expert Paul Chek, this is called a motor engram. Motor engram is defined as a "neurophysiological phenomenon" that contains the motor information necessary to perform a complex movement. "If motor engrams are developed by performing repetitions of an exercise while in a position of poor posture, poor posture will be tied to the engram," says Chek.POSTURAL ASSESMENTPosture can be defined as the position of the body in any environment or mode. Some examples of specific postures are sitting, standing, walking, or leaning forward. Posture is based on the position of the spine and all the joints in the musculoskeletal system. Postural evaluation or analysis consists of evaluating a patient's posture through a series of appropriate tests and measurements. It is part of the branch of physical therapy called kinesiology, which includes the study of the anatomy and physiology of body movement.Good or normal posture is defined as an imaginary straight line that connects the earlobe, cervical vertebrae, acromion (bony outgrowth on the shoulder blade), lumbar vertebrae, and a set of points behind the hip and slightly in front of the knee and ankle. In an actual postural evaluation, the patient may be asked to stand by a vertical plumb line so that the examiner can visualize any deviations from normal alignment.POSTURAL ASSESSMENT VIA PHONE APPLICATIONThis application is geared for Chiropractors, Physical and Massage Therapists, and Fitness Professionals who wish to objectively and quickly analyze the posture of existing or prospective patients at a spinal screening or any patient/client encounter. Then you can quickly render posture screen analysis and evaluation findings to prospective patients/clients with this posture screen evaluation software and capture patient demographics, and email the prospective patient /client their findings using secure encrypted PDF. You then can also generate comparative postural evaluations as well as posture comparison Posture Trend Analysis(R) with the comparisonPOSTURAL ASSESSMENT VIA DEVICEANALYZER 2.0 Device for posture analysis, enables you to photograph and analyze the whole body in the four orthostatic position as well as the alignment of the shoulders. 02995 - BODY ANALYZER 2.0 Device ... It is a device typically used for analysing posture in the frontal, posterior and lateral planes.PHYSICAL POSTURE ASSESSMENTThrough posture and movement assessments, it can be determined what muscles may be impacting the client’s ability to move. These posture issues can then be addressed with exercises and stretches in a stability and mobility program, which may help to improve muscle balance.In each assessment, you are looking to see what posture error is occurring and which muscles may be compensating for the deviation. You are looking for which muscles may be tight and which muscles may be lengthened. Tight muscles need to be stretched with a flexibility program and lengthened muscles can be helped by a strengthening program.FITNESS ASSESSMENTStrength and Muscular Endurance TestsMaximum Push Up TestThis test is great for testing the strength and muscular endurance of the chest, arms and shoulders to some degree. The premise is very simple; you get your client to perform as many push ups us possible until failure, that means until they can no longer carry out another push up. It’s important to make sure that their technique doesn’t suffer, and if it does, get them to maintain correct technique else the repetition doesn’t count.The client can do this either on their toes, or their knees if carrying out on their toes is too difficult:Tip: You can do this test with any bodyweight exercise, as it’ll give you a guide as to progress for those muscles against your clients’ current body weight. These could include bodyweight squats, being good to measure your lower body strength and muscular endurance, and also pull-ups for back and arms to complete the setCurl Up TestThe Curl Test is a great way to test the muscular endurance of the core. Have your client carry out as many crunches as possible in 60 seconds, whilst maintaining good technique. If 60 seconds is too long, try starting with 30 seconds.The client lies on their back on a mat. You can hold their feet or not, just make sure you make a note of it, as you’ll need to make sure you do the same next time. Client then does as many crunches as possible within the time limit.Plank TestThe plank test is another way to test muscular endurance for the core. It is a very simple yet gruelling test. Have your client assume the plank position, with shoulders in line with, or slightly behind, their biceps. Make sure they have a neutral spine (flat back), and straight alignment through knees, hips and shoulders. They have to hold this plank until failure, so holding it for as long as physically possible. If their technique slips, or their hips dip lower, give them a warning. If it continues to suffer, end the test and record the time.Aerobic CapacityThe aerobic capacity of a person is essentially the capacity to which their heart and lungs can deliver oxygenated blood to muscles whilst performing repeated work for an extended period of time.There are two methods to measure the aerobic capacity; a direct method, which requires expensive medical equipment and delivers a real result, and an indirect method, which involves aerobic fitness tests that can give an estimate of aerobic capacity.Direct: VO2 Max TestThe VO2 Max Test uses a machine to measure the maximal oxygen intake (VO2 Max) through gas analysis. The client will generally run on a treadmill wearing a special mask hooked up to a machine that can measure the levels of gasses inhaled and exhaled. The client is then taken to their maximal workload capacity, all whilst their inhalation and exhalation are being measured. This will give the most accurate measure of cardiovascular fitness.However, there are obvious drawbacks on this method. Having a VO2 Max Test can be expensive, as you’ll need to visit a facility that offers it, as well as pay for an expert to conduct it. It can also be unsafe and too strenuous for some clients.Indirect: Step TestThe step test is a great way to give you an estimate of a client’s aerobic capacity. All you need is a 30cm high step. You could use anything from a sturdy box to a concrete step.Have your client step up and down the step in the pattern left leg up, right leg up, left leg down, right leg down, and so on. Do this at a steady pace, using a metronome to maintain the pace throughout. After 3 minutes, have the client stop and then calculate their heart rate for 1 minute. The lower the number of beats in that minute, the better.Indirect: 20m Shuttle Run Test (Beep Test)If you want a test that will give you an estimated VO2 Max, the beep test is your test. It is widely popular and is used by many sports teams and fitness fanatics alike. There’s a good chance you’ve done one of these at some point in your life.To carry out this test, you’ll need cones, a tape measure and a CD player/Smart Phone. Find an area with 20m of space, the place the cones 20m apart. Download a beep test app, or purchase a beep test CD and have your client run from cone to cone in time to the beeps. Not too fast, but also not too slow.As time goes on, the time between beeps decreases, meaning the client needs to up their speed. Eventually they will get to the point where they are running at their aerobic capacity and shortly after they will no longer be able to make it to the end before the beep. The last beep they completed successfully will be their score. The score is recorded as the level and number of shuttles they complete at that level. For example: level 11, 10 shuttles.Most good beep test apps will tell you the level and shuttle number after every beep, so you’ll know what they achieved.You can then use a formula to estimate their VO2 Max:3.46 * (L + SN / (L * 0.4325 + 7.0048)) + 12.2Where: L = Level, SN = Number of Shuttle at that levelFlexibilitySit and Reach TestThe sit and reach is the standard flexibility test, which measures the flexibility along your posterior chain, particularly the lower back and hamstrings.The only equipment required is a sit and reach box or a ruler.Have your client sit on the floor with their bare feet vertically placed against the box and legs fully extended. If you don’t have the box, you can mark a line on the floor and use a ruler, but make sure their feet are still as vertical as possible.One hand is placed over the top of the other, palms face down, fingers outstretched and elbows straight. The client is then to lean as far forward as possible moving their hands along the box, or ruler. Ensuring that the knees remain on the floor, take note of the distance the client can reach and hold for 2 seconds. The best of three attempts is recorded.
