    Thanks for th einterview.

    In the interview Guy mentioned a study of women that didn’t go sooner to the check-up for breast cancer because they worried. Could you point me to the study.

    Thanks for feeding the wolves.

        Thank you Guy and Eric.

        Is a conclusion : the more you worry the less you act?

          I think in a lot of circumstances that can be true. I think it depends on temperament, situation, etc but too much worry can be paralyzing.

    So in order to create a sound mind iin a sound body, developing a philosophy of educatilnal setup for a particular group or society
    or a counrry is not the first step, instead the irst step is to identify
    the present behaviour, so that the bak end should be coded
    according to thhe requirement. Louis area stores are set to open Thanksgiving night for ealy shopping which means less time with friends and family.
    The bartender should puol the individuaql aside and gently explain to them why
    they caan no longer receive any alcohol.
