off-site here. My image is here. My Communication Behaviour
I answer all my email, except for spam or uninvited newsgroup mailings. So if you have sent me a request and you have not
received a reply, please write again or call. If you have a request of me, please make it in writing (email); I can usually accomplish it within 24-48 hours of receipt unless I'm away. If I am off line for more than 48 hours I will set up an auto-respond that informs you when I will next check for mail. Call me if email is not appropriate, but be prepared to follow up any request with an email version of it. My email inbox takes priority over a scrap of paper. My
desk is the last thing that gets cleared and not daily. I'm generally at my computer by 9am Vancouver BC time. I usually take a break in the late afternoon through the supper hour, and frequently I work in the evening. I check my email at the beginning and end of each day that I am available.
I use Twitter to keep my readers
(+/-10,000/month here
www.chpc.biz)
and (+/-5000/month here
www.institutionaladvisors.com)
informed as to when I have updated either of these high traffic sites. Go

want to be notified.

Since October 2006 I have been working out daily on my elliptical trainer. Starting
January 2007, I increased my base workout of 2 miles in 20 minutes each month by 1/10th of a mile and 1 minute so that by October 2007 I
reached my target of 3 miles in 30 minutes (6mph). Since moving to a new
residence in November 2008, I have been using my new training room that
includes Elliptical Trainer, Treadmill, Bike, Rowing and Adjustable Weight
Circuit Training machines. According to Norman Doidge author of
The Brain That Changes Itself, the brain has the capacity to generate
new nerve cells throughout its lifespan, debunking the old notion that
replacement brain cells never form. Doidge describes a study in which
aging mice placed in stimulating environments that are replete with toys
and running wheels develop increased hippocampal volume, a significant
increase in new neurons and do better on tests of learning.
Interestingly, the running wheel turns out to be the best contributor to
the development of greater numbers of new neurons. |
