Eskimo Fish Oil or Eskimo-3 is a brand of omega 3 rich fish oil sold in many nutrition stores, online stores, and sold by supplement distributors. One of the main benefits of Eskimo-3 is that it has a very lemony taste in liquid form. Many other liquid fish oils leave an awful aftertaste that make people want to vomit. Eskimo Fish oil is a great alternative to other brands of omega 3 fish oil as well as fish which can be toxic due to mercury.

In addition to the lemony flavor, Eskimo Omega-3 fish oil also contains a very balanced amount of DHA and EPA 2 important components to the body. The oil also contains a healthy amount of vitamin E.

Dosage of this amazing fish oil depends on the situation of the person consuming the nutrient. Children must take different amounts of Eskimo fish oil than adults. People with different diseases such as arthritis must also take different doses. The basic difference in doses can only be made safely with ages. Children must take less of the nutrient while adults must take more, the fact that the adult has a disease will only effect dosage if advised by a doctor.

For an adult, the proper dosage of Eskimo-3 would be 3 capsules a day with food equaling 500 mg of Omega 3 in a day. In addition to 240 mg of EPA 160 mg of DHA, and 4.5 mg of vitamin E.

It is harder to decide what a good dose of Omega 3 is for a child. Many experts say that children should receive an amount of Eskimo-3 fish oil that balances with their diet. That means if you have a child with a large calorie intake that child can take as much Omega-3 as an adult. Of course parents should consult with a doctor before giving any supplements to their children.

All in all, Omega-3 fatty acids are just plain healthy for all. If you want to try Eskimo-3 fish oil for Omega-3 intake you can. Their is no real difference between the different fish oils, the choice is up to you.

If have not yet tried Omega-3 supplements in your life, you might be depriving your body of important nutrients. Make sure you learn more about Omega-3 and start including it into your diet.

A long standing issue
Problems managing anger has always been a concern for patients suffering from addictive disorders. Pioneering research by my mentor, Dr. Sidney Cohen at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute demonstrated the relationship between, anger, violence and the use of alcohol and or cocaine. One of the most popular articles written by Dr. Cohen, was entitled, Alcohol, the most dangerous drug known to man. In this and other publications, Dr. Cohen systematically demonstrated the causal relationship between cocaine and alcohol abuse and aggression. Much of this research was done in the 70s and 80s.

Anger has always been a factor in substance abuse intervention. Unfortunately, until recently, it has been overlooked or treated as an after thought by substance abuse programs nationwide. Substance use and abuse often coexist with anger, aggressive behavior and person-directed violence. Data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administrations National Household Survey on Drug Abuse indicated that 40 % of frequent cocaine users reported engaging in some form of violence or aggressive behavior. Anger and aggression often can have a causal role in the initiation of drug and alcohol use and can also be a consequence associated with substance abuse. Persons who experience traumatic events, for example, often experience anger and act violently, as well as abuse drugs or alcohol. This is currently occurring with recently returned combat veterans from Iraq.

ANGER AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Substance abuse and dependence has grown beyond even the bleakest predictions of the past. In the United States alone, there are an estimated 23 million people who are struggling (on a daily basis) with some form of substance abuse or dependence. The toll it is having on our society is dramatically increased when we factor in the number of families who suffer the consequences of living with a person with an addiction, such as:
Job loss
Incarceration
Loss of child Custody
DUI's
Domestic Violence/Aggression
Marital problems/divorce
Accidents/injuries
Financial problems
Depression/anxiety/chronic anger

Unfortunately, most substance abusers may not even be aware that they have an underlying anger problem and do not "connect" their anger problem to their alcoholism, drug addiction and substance abuse. Therefore, they do not seek (or get) help for their anger problem. But more often than not, their anger is the underlying source of their disorder. Anger precedes the use of cocaine and alcohol for many alcohol and cocaine dependent individuals. Anger is an emotional and mental form of "suffering" that occurs whenever our desires and expectations of life, others or self are thwarted or unfulfilled. Addictive behavior and substance abuse is an addict's way of relieving themselves of the agony of their anger by "numbing" themselves with drugs, alcohol and so on. This is not "managing their anger", but self medication.

When we do not know how to manage our anger appropriately, we try to keep the anger inside ourselves. Over time, it festers and often gives rise to even more painful emotions, such as depression and anxiety. Thus, the individual has now created an additional problem for themselves besides their substance abuse, and must be treated with an additional disorder. Several clinical studies have demonstrated that anger management intervention for individuals with substance abuse problems is very effective in reducing or altogether eliminating a relapse.

Medical research has found that alcohol, cocaine and methamphetamine dependence are medical diseases associated with biochemical changes in the brain. Traditional treatment approaches for drug and alcohol dependency focus mainly on group therapy and cognitive behavior modification, which very often does not deal with either the anger or the "physiological" components underlying the addictive behavior.

Anger precedes the use of cocaine for many cocaine-dependent individuals; thus, cocaine-dependent individuals who experience frequent and intense episodes of anger may be more likely to relapse to cocaine use than individuals who can control their anger effectively. Several clinical trials have demonstrated that cognitive-behavioral interventions for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders can be used to help individuals with anger control problems reduce the frequency and intensity with which they experience anger.

Although studies have indirectly examined anger management group treatments in populations with a high prevalence of substance abuse, few studies have directly examined the efficacy of an anger management treatment for cocaine-dependent individuals. A number of studies demonstrating the effectiveness of an anger management treatment in a sample of participants who had a primary diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder have been conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Although many participants in these studies had a history of drug or alcohol dependence, the sample was not selected based on inclusion criteria for a substance dependence disorder, such as cocaine dependence. Considering the possible mediating role of anger for substance abuse, a study examining the efficacy of anger management treatment in a sample of cocaine-dependent patients would be informative.

Anger management as an after thought
In spite of the information available to all professional substance abuse treatment providers, anger management has not received the attention which is deserved and needed for successful substance abuse treatment. Many if not most substance abuse programs claim to offer anger management as one of the topics in its treatment yet few substance abuse counseling programs include anger certification for these counselors.

Typically, new substance abuse counselors are simply told that they will need to teach a certain numbers of hours or sessions on anger management and then left to find there own anger management information and teaching material. These counselors tend to piece together whatever they can find and present it as anger management.

Despite the connection of anger and violence to substance abuse, few substance abuse providers have attempted to either connect the two or provide intervention for both. In the Los Angeles area, a number of primarily upscale residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol treatment have contracted with Certified Anger Management Providers to offer anger management either in groups on an individual basis for inpatient substance abuse clients. Malibu based Promises (which caters to the stars) has contracted with Certified Providers to offer anger management on an individual coaching bases.

It may also be of interest to note that SAMSHA has published an excellent client workbook along with teachers manual entitled, Anger Management for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Clients: A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Manual [and] Participant Workbook. This publication free and any program can order as many copies as needed without cost. There is simply no excuse for shortchanging substance abuse clients by not providing real anger management classes.

Limited anger management research
What has been offered as anger management in substance abuse programs has lacked integrity. The Canadian Bureau of Prisons has conducted a 15 year longitudinal study on the effectiveness of anger management classes for incarcerated defendants whose original crime included substance abuse, aggression and violence. One of first findings was that in order to be useful, the anger management model used must have integrity. Integrity is defined as using a client workbook containing all of the material needed for an anger management class, consistency among trainers in terms of how the material is taught and a pre and post test to document change made by clients who complete the class. It is not possible to determine the effective of anger management which is fragmented and not based on any particular structure of theoretical base.

Anger management training is rarely integrated into substance abuse treatment At the present time, anger management is rarely integrated into any model of substance abuse intervention. Rather, it is simply filler tacked on to a standard twelve step program,

Trends in anger management and substance abuse treatment.
Several years ago, the California state legislature established statewide guidelines for all state and locally supported substance abuse programs. This legislation is included in what is commonly referred to as proposition 36. As a result of this legislation, all substance abuse counselors must have documented training in anger management facilitator certification. This training requires 40 hours of core training plus 16 hours of continuing anger management education of a yearly basis.

What is Anger Management?

Anger management is rapidly becoming the most requested intervention in human services. It may be worthwhile to define what anger management is and is not. According to the American Psychiatric Association, anger is a normal human emotion. It is not a pathological condition therefore; it is not listed as a defined illness in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Nervous and Mental Disorders. Rather, anger is considered a lifestyle issue. This means that psychotherapy or psychotropic medication is not an appropriate intervention for teaching skills for managing anger.

The American Association of Anger Management Providers defines anger management as a skill enhancement course which teaches skills in recognizing and managing anger, stress, assertive communication and emotional intelligence. Anger is seen a normal human emotion which is a problem when it occurs too frequently, lasts too long, is too intense, is harmful to self or others or leads to person or property directed aggression.

The Anderson & Anderson anger management curriculum is currently the most widely used model of anger management in the world. This model includes an assessment at intake which is designed to determine the clients level of functioning in the following four areas, anger, stress, communication and emotional intelligence. The intervention/classes which are provided teach skills in these four areas. Post test are administered after course completion to determine the success or lack thereof of the program.

In Summary

All anger management programs should conduct an assessment at intake for substance abuse and psychopathology and all substance abuse programs should assess all participants for the current level of functioning in recognizing anger, stress, assertive communication and emotional intelligence.

All substance abuse programs should have their intervention staff certified in anger management facilitation.

Guidelines should be established to determine the number of hours/sessions that each client will receive in teaching skill enhancement in anger management, stress management, communication and emotional intelligence.

Roulette is a very popular game of gambling that can be seen in every casino, whether Internet or physically based. I used to play Roulette at a regular geographical based casino, but in more recent times, I started playing online. In the tricky game of Roulette, the ball, once rolled, jumps around the table until it secures its resting place in one of the Roulette sections. If you can predict the results of where the ball may possibly land, you can almost guarantee that you will make a small fortune.

Today, I am going to take a look at the exciting game of Roulette, and offer a few how to win tips. If you want to win more often when playing Roulette, I recommend playing the European version of the game. There are a total of 37 numbers on the European Roulette table. On the American Roulette table, however, there are a maximum of 38 numbers, which immediately put the player at a greater disadvantage. Looking at the Roulette table, you can see that its almost impossible to beat the casinos. Almost impossible, however, not absolutely impossible. There is no way to guarantee future Roulette results, however, common sense tells us that probability works in a lot of different ways. In these different ways, probability can work to our advantage to help us achieve our desired results. By turning probability into our friend, as opposed to our mortal enemy, we can expect to win a lot more often. "You can't win at Roulette", my buddy Ben would say to me, "it's completely random because any result could appear". Sure, Ben certainly has a point, but he is also missing a big part of the picture. How often does red or black come up eleven times in a row? How often does odd appear ten times in a row? How often does 27 appear two or three times in a row? Even probability has its flaws and is not always completely unpredictable. How else can you increase your chances of winning at Roulette? Here are a few tips:

1) Set A Bank Roll

As in any game of chance, the key to success is knowing when to stop betting and get up from the table. If you win $100, or lose one hundred dollars, the key to success is knowing when to stop. Otherwise you will never win any money, and you will surely lose a lot more than you can afford to lose.

2) Begin With A Free Welcome Bonus

Almost all Internet casinos give players a starting bonus just for opening up a players account to gamble. This puts the player at a bigger advantage than gambling at a standard land casino, which offers no welcome bonuses. Why not start gambling with a complimentary $400 bonus from the casinos? Its certainly an offer that is hard to refuse.

3) Concentrate And Keep Track Of Patterns

If red or black start appearing 6 times in a row, then maybe it is time to start betting on the opposite colour. At the same time, if odd has appeared 7 times in a row, then maybe it is time to start betting on even. Keep an eye on the trends that appear, because even though chance is unpredictable, it is also predictable and more likely in some circumstances.

I trust that you found this information to be helpful and handy. In any game of chance or skill, practice is certainly a strong key to success. Learn as much as you can about the game of Roulette, and practice playing for free until you feel comfortable enough to start betting with real cash. Internet casinos have changed the way many people place bets and gamble, and with large welcome bonuses, great customer service, and secure websites, I can certainly understand the reasons why.

Everyone knows how important it is to have health insurance for themselves and their family. Many do not even think about pet insurance until they have the option of spending $2,000 on your puppy that just got ran over or putting the puppy down. At some point and time your pet most likely will need a major surgery. It may develop cancer or drink leaking coolant from your car.

As an animal lover I really hate to see dogs and other pets that can be saved but the owner just cant spend the money upfront to save their loving friend. For the last 5 years consumers have spent 15% more each and every year on their pets. Thats 100% more you spend then 5 years ago. The cost of a good vet has risen close to this as well.

Is Pet Insurance new?

Animal insurance or most often referred to as pet insurance has been around for many years now. In fact over in the UK 1/3 to half of all people in some areas have pet insurance on their pet. Getting insurance on your pet puppy is an investment. Your dog may never get sick but if he does then the insurance will offset the cost of major surgeries. With Every insurance policy you need to do a little research. All puppy breeds and pet breads have different traits and the rate for one pet will be different then another. You need to find out ahead of time what the insurance will cover. Will it cover regular checkups? What type types of surgery the insurance will cover and hospital stays? What is you co-pay?

Insure Your Puppy or Pet When They are Young

When puppies are young or any pet you are more likely to get a better deal. If you get insurance later in the dogs life the price will be more because adult dogs are prone to more health issues just like humans. If you are looking at saving a few bucks I recommend getting insurance that does not cover the regular checkups. This normally drops the price in half. Yes you would still have to pay for the checkups but at the same time you are balancing out your costs if the pet never ends up needing surgery.

It is always best to look at the puppy insurance plan and then make an informed decision based on your life style and the puppy. Pet insurance can be very low in price and the piece of mind it will give you is great. I know I do not have $5,000 to spend on my dog if he needs surgery but the insurance will cover most of it so when and if the time comes I do not have to tell my 5 year old that we had to put his best friend down because we could not afford to save his life.

With both small and large scale companies relying on VoIP termination services for their communication needs, it becomes imperative to get the services from the best VoIP service provider. There are a number of VoIP service providers offering similar services to their clients. A business in order to get stable, reliable and quality service needs to first identify the requirements of their organisation. Every organisation would have communication needs different from others. However, there are certain common parameters for judging the ideal VoIP provider.

Since we are talking about telephony services, quality of voice becomes the most important parameter. Next would be the call tariff for the service. An optimal package would be the one which offers best rates with supreme voice quality. A service provider who has procured the best VoIP routes would be able to provide the client with excellent quality. While researching for the voice over IP provider, look for the one which has direct interconnection with Tier 1 provider, for one can expect to get the best routes from them.

VoIP services reach the end consumer through wholesalers and VoIP resellers. With the market for IP telephony spreading, the number of wholesalers and resellers too has increased along with it. The criteria for selection of VoIP providers remain the same for corporates, wholesalers and resellers.

Besides quality, rates too are essential, as mentioned earlier. Due to rising competition, one can get competitive rates for voice over Internet protocol services. However, if a provider is offering excellent quality, they might charge you a little more for it. The end consumer is more concerned about the voice quality than the rates. If the consumer gets excellent voice quality, and reliable and stable service, they would be willing to pay a little extra for the services. This way it would still be a win-win situation for wholesalers and resellers.

Equally essential is to get a dependable support service. Many consumers, though satisfied with switching over to VoIP, have one frequent complaint - it is difficult and time-consuming to get a reply from the technical support to their mails and phone calls. There are few premium service providers who have started providing support through live-chat. This not only would ensure a quick way to reach the technical team, but also provides an instantaneous solution to your problems.

A list of high fiber foods helps you know which foods to include in daily meal planning. Obtaining adequate fiber is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. However, too many people do not obtain sufficient fiber each day, which results in poor bowel function and constipation. Whether obtained from the list of high fiber foods or from fiber supplements, the recommended daily fiber consumption should be about 25-30 grams for an adult. The typical adult in the USA averages about 11 grams of fiber per day according to the American Dietetic Association.

The walls of plant cells are the sources of dietary fiber. Here are typical high fiber foods along with the approximate number of grams of fiber they contain. Fiber contents shown below on the list of high fiber foods are for a food quantity of 1/2 cup unless otherwise noted:

Bananas, 3 grams - medium 8" long

Beans, 6-10 grams - baked beans, black beans, great northern beans, kidney beans, garbanzos, pinto beans, white beans

Berries, 4-5 grams - blackberries, raspberries

Bran Cereals, 5-10 grams - All-Bran, Bran Buds, 100% Bran, Raisin Bran

Bread, 4-7 grams - 2 slices whole wheat, pumpernickel, seven-grain

Broccoli, 4-5 grams

Brussels Sprouts, 2 grams

Carrots, 3-4 grams

Dried Figs, 10 grams - 3 figs

Fruit, 4 grams - medium apple, medium pear

Green Beans, 2 grams - broad beans, pole beans, snap beans

Greens, 4-6 grams - beet greens, collards, kale, spinach, turnip greens

Lentils, 6 grams

Lima Beans - 4-6 grams

Peas, 7-9 grams - black-eyed peas, green peas

Potatoes, 4-5 grams - medium baked Idaho or sweet potato

Sweet Corn, 5 grams

Using the list of high fiber foods and including more of the foods from the list can help increase daily fiber consumption so important for normal bowel function. Also important is that adequate liquid be present for good bowel function. Each fiber particle will actually absorb liquid in the colon and help facilitate the desired regular movement along in the bowels.

If you make changes to your diet to include more of the foods from the list of high fiber foods and still are not having a daily bowel movement, you may wish to add a fiber supplement. The best fiber supplements are rice bran or psyllium made from ground-up psyllium seeds. Don't expect to notice better bowel movements overnight as it may take several weeks for your body and elimination system to improve. The payoff will be that wastes are eliminated along with the toxins from your system instead of your body reabsorbing them.

Teachers add so much to our lives and guide out children with special attention. It always nice to give an appreciation for their thoughtfulness and caring. But what gift would be appropriate and not overwhelm the teacher? Here a just a few:

Fill a basket with things they will need and use all year. Add pens, pencils, notepads, stickers, boxes of staples and paperclips.

Wrap a coffee can with colorful paper and add three or four of your favorite home baked cookies. The plastic lid will keep them fresh for days.

Teachers often burn the midnight candle as they read reports and grade papers. Fill a basket with bags of munchies like peanuts, chips, popcorn.

Make a donation to the local zoo or library in your teachers name. Put the donation card in with a note expressing your appreciation.

Teachers are always reading. Get a gift certificate or card at your local book store and enclose it in a note of your appreciation for their help.

Get a apple made of cloth and filled with soft fibers. Have every member of the class sign the apple in ink.

Teachers are always carrying books and papers. Find a satchel bag with an apple or red, white, and blue flag design. Or make a bag with all the school colors.

At the local bookstore, find a bookmark that says what a great teacher he is. Or one that has apples running the length of the bookmark. You may be able to find one with dunce hats or take another plain bookmark and add dunce hat stickers to it.

Buy a glass or ceramic mug and have your child paint an apple and his name on the side.

Have your child create a pencil cup by decorating a juice can with brightly colored tissue paper.
