Treat others the way you wish to be treated

We are moved this Sunday, in the face of another shooting of people just doing their shopping at a Dollar Store, to remember the Golden Rule,
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” - Luke 6:31

And the oath, "First, do no harm."

And the Commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Kill."

Stretching will help when sitting for long periods

Ever wonder why sitting, especially at the computer, gets uncomfortable? Could be lots of things, from the ergonomics of the chair itself to the length of time you spend poring over your work. But one thing is for sure -- stretching will help. Here are some ideas:

1. Arms: Straighten an arm out in front of you at shoulder height. Make a fist and bend the arm down as though pouring something. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat five times.

2. Back. Put one foot on the opposite knee. Lean forward slowly and hold for 10 seconds. Alternate sides and do five sets total.
