After all, the stomach is a specialized digestive organ not the flabby mess in the middle of the body. I‘m not just referring to women. Though in a recent survey of over 30,000 women a whopping 64 per cent were dissatisfied, even ashamed of their waist. Though women are conâ€" cerned about the roundness of the abdoâ€" men it is not a problem common only to us. Large waistlines sported by men are not only just as unsightly as on women, they are more dangerous as a health risk and factor in heart trouble. The waist is supposed to be the narrowâ€" est region around our body‘s middle. It‘s muscles include the rectus abdominus on the front, the internal and external obliques on the sides, and the erector spinae group on our back. Strengthening and tightening these muscles should help reduce the protruding abdominal wall. It won‘t give you a perfectly flat abdomen however. The main abdominal muscle, the rectus abdominus, has a slight curvaâ€" ture to it naturaliv. Someone in the fitness business has labelled April as Spring Tuneâ€"Up month and I‘m quite sure they didn‘t mean getting your sporty car out of hiding and revving it up.

All the muscles work in pairs or groups and must be worked as such in order for your hard work to be effective. As well, the amount of moveâ€" ment you have in the waist will indicate how ‘much you can trim and tone. The joints in the waist allow us to move forward (fiexion) using rectus abdomiâ€" nus and obliques (sitâ€"up); upright (extenâ€" sion) using erector spinae (back raises from a faceâ€"down prone position); sideâ€" ways (lateral) internal and external oblique, erector _ spinae (waistbends); twisting (rotation) opposite internal and external obliques and erector spinae contracting simultaneously (body twists). A long waisted person will naturally have a greater range of movement in the waist. However there is a greater exâ€" panse of soft area to tone. Shortwaisted people though having less natural moveâ€" ment tend to have firmer abdomens as it is girdled under the closely set ribcage and pelvis. However there is a tendency to get thick in the middle. An exercise program to reduce this risk is one using light or no weights, high repetitions and lots of stretching. The highwaisted perâ€" son needs heavier weights, moderate repetitions and less stretching to stop the soft area from spreading. If so, regardless of the number of his degrees. he is not suited to run this city. A person is born with knowledge and aptiâ€" tudes These qualifications are rarely acquired. When Mr. Schaefer was employved by Waterioo, everything seemed to run rather smoothly. After his departure. very few of the counciliors really looked good. Could this be because of advice from the new man at the helm?

This was not strange to us as children, when most of our personal discoveries were made. Whether we had just masâ€" tered the junglegym, played our first tune, or accomplished a card trick, that cry of "I did it, I did it" was one not so much of triumph as of surprised delight that we had found the ability to do it. Sadly, as adults we attempt fewer things and, therefore, must remind provide a better service, have no way of knowing what it will evolve into in the future, but as they work to improve what they are doing, they will find some flashes of insight coming to their aid. brilliance which so often appears in her own writing. She won the Nobel prize for literature and the Puliizer prize for her book "The Good Earth", published in 1932. The point she was making in her talk is that each of us can find resources within ourselves which we could not normally suspect exist. We can only find them when we attempt something difficult, or that which seems to be beyond us. What she aiscovered in writing applies in all fields of human endeavor.

She spoke about her youth, much of which was spent in China with her father, but the most interesting thing she said, in fact, the whole point of her talk as far as I am concerned, was that when you finally begin to write and get absorbed in what you are doing, you frequently surprise yourself with flashes of talent and brilliance you didn‘t know _ You can find a source of genius that lies dormant until called upon by some extra effort.

It is also involved in an extensive public education program No such services are provided by the Cancer Research Society Inc. We, of the Canadian Cancer Society, wish to place this information before the public to clear up any confusion between the two organizations. The main concentration of cancer reâ€" search in Canada is done through the National Cancer Institute of Canada. with about 98% of its funding provided by the Canadian Cancer Society. As far as we have been able to ascertain, the NCIC has never received any funding from the Cancer Research Society Inc. Since 1981 the Cancer Research Society Inc. has solicited funds all across Canada. although most of its research grants are confined to Quebec.

It has been said that what the human mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. The operative word here is "believe‘" for, too often, we conceive great things which we never achieve for lack of belief that we can, and the joker is that we‘ll never find out until we try. As Shakespeare pointed out, "Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft‘ win, by fearing to attempt." Believe it or not, we all have deep reservoirs of talent, ability, even genius, that we fail to use simply because we don‘t push ourselves out of our comfort zones and press against the boundaries of our known capability.
