In any organism, health is the ability to efficiently respond to challenges (stressors) and effectively restore and sustain a "state of balance," known as homeostasis. Sickness is merely the absence of health. All organisms, from the simplest to the most complex, reside on a spectrum between 100% health and 0% health. One widely accepted definition of health is that of the World Health Organization "WHO". It states that "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (WHO, 1946). In more recent years, this statement has been modified to include the ability to lead a "socially and economically productive life." The WHO definition is not without criticism, as some argue that health cannot be defined as a state at all, but must be seen as a process of continuous adjustment to the changing demands of living and of the changing meanings we give to life. The WHO definition is therefore considered by many as an idealistic goal rather than a realistic proposition. Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind-body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. It has been used in the context of alternative medicine since Halbert Dunn began using the phrase high level wellness in the fifties, based on a series of lectures at a Unitarian Universalist Church in Arlington, Virginia, in the United States. The modern concept of wellness did not, however, become popular until the 1970's. The term has been defined by the Singapore-based National Wellness Association as an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence. This is consistent with a shift in focus away from illness in viewing human health, typical of contexts where the term wellness is used. In other words, wellness is a view of health that emphasizes the state of the entire being and its ongoing development. health Mon, 02 Oct 2006 21:40:09 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/groups..sex Sex Everything you ever wanted to know about sex but, was afraid to ask! xxxadult Mon, 02 Oct 2006 20:24:18 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/groups..money Money Economics offers various definitions for money, though it is now commonly considered to be any good or token that functions as a medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account. Some authors explicitly require money to be a standard of deferred payment, too [1]. In common usage, money refers more specifically to currency, particularly the many circulating currencies with legal tender status; deposit accounts denominated in such currencies are also considered part of the money supply. The use of money provides an alternative to bartering, which is often inefficient because it requires a coincidence of wants between traders. The efficiency gains through the use of money are thought to encourage trade and the division of labour, in turn increasing productivity and wealth. Commodity money such as gold or silver was amongst the earliest forms of money to emerge. Under a commodity money system, the objects used as money have intrinsic value, i.e., they have value beyond their use as money. For example, gold coins retain value as gold even if inflation damages their value as currency, whereas paper notes are only worth as much as the monetary value assigned to them. Commodity money is usually adopted to simplify transactions in a barter economy, and so it functions first as a medium of exchange[citation needed]. It quickly begins functioning as a store of value[citation needed], since holders of perishable goods can easily convert them into durable money. business Mon, 02 Oct 2006 21:03:14 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/groups..golf Golf Golf (gowf in Scots) is a sport in which individual players or teams hit a ball into a hole using various clubs, and also is one of the few ball games that does not use a fixed standard playing area. It is defined in the Rules of Golf as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules." Golf originated in Scotland, and has been played for at least five centuries in the British Isles. The oldest course in the world is The Old Links at Musselburgh. Golf, in essentially the form we know today, has been played on Scotland's Musselburgh Links since 1672, while earlier versions of the game had been played in the British Isles and the low-countries of Northern Europe for several centuries before that. Although often viewed as an elite pastime, golf is an increasingly popular sport across all sections of society. sports Mon, 02 Oct 2006 21:21:24 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/groups..parishilton Paris HiltonPARIS HILTON has received numerous accolades since taking Hollywood by storm with her hit television show The Simple Life.
