| With the cost of health care continually on the rise, more and more people are seeking alternative forms of treatment. Many have discovered the ancient Chinese healing art of acupressure. Acupressure works by applying digital pressure to certain key points on the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. Scientific evidence shows that the body is controlled by a bioelectrical system that is connected to every organ, gland and nerve. When these channels become blocked, the body starts to malfunction and illness occurs. By using simple massaging techniques, these blockages are opened up and more oxygen and blood flow freely to the afflicted areas. This causes the muscles to relax and toxins to be released and eliminated. The body begins to heal itself. Acupressure has provided relief for such ailments as headaches, eyestrain, back pain, anxiety, ulcers, asthma and even deafness. Indeed, some experts claim that acupressure is a dynamic, often miraculous, approach to glowing health. Foremost among the advantages of acupressure is that it is safe to perform. There are no side effects from drugs for all you need is your own two hands. Best of all, you can practice acupressure any time, anywhere.

| The very first Olympic games occurred in Greece around the year 776 B.C. The tradition continued on until 1896, when the first modern games took place. At that time thirteen countries and 300 athletes participated. Today, over 200 countries compete in the Olympics. The Olympic symbol of the five interlocking rings stands for the five competing continents: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. The Winter and Summer Games are held every 4 years with 2 years in-between. The Olympic motto translated from Lating means "swifter, higher, stronger," and each year athletes break records as they live and breathe this slogan. Many athletes train 12 hours a day, 7 days a week in the hope of standing on a podium with a gold medal. Their dedication and drive make these men and women the best at their sport. Medal or not, these athletes are a symbol of motivation and an inspiration for us all. The very first Olympic games occurred in Greece around the year 776 B.C.
