Ball Office Chairs

Owen Jones | December 8, 2011

There are essentially four varieties of ball chair. There is the original ball chair designed by Eero Aarnio in 1963, the suspended ball chair, usually referred to as a bubble chair by the same designer; the exercise ball in a frame, which is ostensibly for the gym or home use and a refined version of the gym exercise ball for office use.

The original ball chair was designed by Eero Aarnio, because he had just gone freelance and so was working from home. He did not want to close himself away from his family, but he also desired some peace and quiet in order to work. His concept was the ball chair. It is essentially a ball on a revolving pedestal with a segment cut away. The inside of the ball is sumptuously upholstered in fabric or leather.

It became a ‘room within a room’. He installed a telephone even to early models and over the years other refinements have been added also, such as stereo and MP3. It is a hybrid between an office chair and a personal booth. It is definitely relaxing to sit inside and listen to music while contemplating life, but is probably only for home use.

A similar design also by Eero Aarnio is a suspended ball chair made of transparent material. This too offers a private cocooned world to the user, even if there are many others near-by. It too is not a serious office chair in my opinion or it could only be used for a home office.

The basic exercise ball chair consists of an inflatable ball inside a crude low frame which is on four or five casters. The fact that the inflated ball moves with your every movement, means that you have to keep your balance carefully or the chair will glide out from beneath you. Maintaining your balance like that will give you gentle exercise, keep your circulation good, correct bad posture and keep you alert.

The refined ball office chair works on the same idea, but it has a back rest and arm rests.These chairs are adjustable for height by inflating or deflating the ball as required. This clearly makes the weight of the occupant of the chair an important factor in choosing the right ball office chair for you, despite the fact that all ball office chairs come with a pump.

After all, there is only so much air you can pump into a balloon, isn’t there? Conversely, there is only so much air you can let out before it ceases to be a ball chair any more. Therefore, you have to have some idea of the size of the sitter before you buy a ball office chair. The perfect sitting position with a ball office chair, as with any other chair, is with your feet flat on the ground and your thighs parallel to the floor.

The theory of the ball office chair makes sense and the majority of those who have used them say that they work well and are fun to sit in. The only problem many users pointed to was derision from their colleagues.

Dealing With Stress

Owen Jones | October 12, 2010

We all know that stress is at a very high level for the vast majority of people and most of us have our own ways of coping with this stress. However, for those who do not know how to deal with stress, it is doubtless first useful to appreciate what stress is and how it can manifest itself.

Stress is most simply defined as: “A mentally or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health, usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability, and depression” (TheFreeDictionary.com).

There are many reasons why stress can come about, but the most frequent types of stress come from finances, family, work, school, quarrels with friends and driving. The most stressful predicaments, however, are divorce, the death of a parent or spouse, moving house and swapping job or school.

Since the causes of stress are so varied, it is beneficial to be able to determine where your stress is coming from, so that you know how to treat or prevent it. You have to get to know yourself to cope with your stress, because not all people react in the same way to stress.

For example, actors and top-flight business people often say that they need the buzz of stress to give their best performances. They have obviously learned how to exploit stress to their own advantage whether unconsciously or by other methods. People who suffer from stress need to get to that phase.

When you have worked out what is causing your stress, you have a chance of counteracting it. In fact, you have many chances of dealing with it. If the source of the stress is your work, you might like to go for a drink with colleagues after work to talk things through once or twice a week, as long as you do not let it get out of hand and affect your family and your work.

Otherwise, you may go for a massage or a sauna or take regular weekend breaks either for pure relaxation or to follow a particular hobby such as hiking. In fact, a hobby of some kind is generally a good stress-reliever, even if the hobby itself is stressful. Just changing the routine seems to help a lot of people. Some people turn to shopping and beauty salons.

A weekend picnic, communing with nature, or rambling are other key de-stressers. The point is that you have to find something that suits you. For instance, I work alone all day and hate shopping, so when I have done my bit, I seek out company to have a conversation. My wife on the other hand spends all day with people, and likes to water the garden alone at the end of her working day.

Other major stress relievers are sports – either watching them or playing them. Playing is clearly healthier than watching, but given that stress is a major killer in the West, the reduction of stress is the main concern. Yoga and meditation are a fantastic compromise between being active and passive in your coping with stress.

How To Get A College Cheerleading Scholarship

Owen Jones | June 21, 2010

A large part of a good upbringing is a decent education. Parents have different financial resources but they also have diverse means of organizing their children’s education. Some parents are better at it than others. Similarly, not all children want to become doctors or dentists, no matter what their parents would choose for them and most of us thank God for that. Diversity is the spice of life, because fortunately we are not all the same.

Paying for your child’s higher education is quite another thing. The costs of higher education never seem to fall , despite the fact that there is a recession and parents are being laid off. State funding is also in question. Therefore, there is a huge pressure on the subsidies that are available.

If you are short of the requisite amount of money to send your child to college or pay for it yourself, you will have to use your best gift to try to gain a grant from private industry. You alone know what you or your child is best at and the best thing to do is to take advantage of that talent in order to get a grant.

One of the kinds of grant that is often overlooked by the academically inclined is a cheerleading scholarship. If you can dance, if you are out-going and if you like showing off, you could get a cheerleading grant, even if you want to study pure or applied mathematics! Tangents off this variation are grants for gymnastics and track events.

There are four things to think about when seeking a cheerleading grant and they can all be made to begin with the letter ‘W’, so that they are easy to remember.

First find out WHO is in charge of cheerleading in your school and if they know where you can go to find out more information. If the coach in your school is not up to speed, go higher. Go over his or her head, otherwise you might miss out. If that does not work out, ask around for big local sports teams and write to the sports club directly.

Once you have the relevant information about where the organizations are, find out WHAT they need from you. A good tactic would be to look at old games and practise the moves that the cheerleaders perform in those games. Once you know the cheerleading moves from previous games, you will have shown an interest in the club.

Find out whether the fund that you are applying to has restrictions on WHERE you can be educated. Will you be constrained to the USA? If you want to study English in London, that will be a difficulty

Find out WHEN the application has to be sent in by. In other words, what are the deadlines.

There is a lot to do if you want a ‘free education’ no matter which way you try to get it. The point of this piece is to make you conscious of the fact that you do not need to only go down the route of applying for academic grants or even sports grants, things like cheerleading scholarships are also out there.

Brighten Things Up With Retirement Jokes

Colin Jones | May 14, 2010

Most people approach retirement with a gloomy countenance. They accept retirement as if it is giving into the hands of fate and the decay of the body. So, it is very important to help the retiree realize that retirement is something to be accepted as it is an inevitable development in life. But how can you achieve that? Its not so difficult: just poke fun at retirement. Retirement jokes, like the ones made in speeches are popular. However, speeches tend to become emotional to the point where everyone in the room is in a state of gloom and sympathy. But one can raise the level of the mood with retirement jokes (without insulting the retiree, of course).

Examples: Further to talking about the wonderful moments the speaker has shared with the retiree, he/she can add something that will lighten up the mood. One could give a headstone slab, with the inscription To Be Filled In Later on it. If you’re a friend, you can also make a joke by calling the retiree granddad or grandfather whenever the retiree speaks to you, as in “OK, granddad”. This can also help lighten the mood. But don’t overdo it, of course.

Another joke that might help is a wig in strong colour like pink, green or purple. A follow up gag to that joke might be that he may require a headpiece in the very near future. If he refuses it, say: Okay, then wear a paper bag instead when you do go bald. Always be prepared for when a joke doesnt succeed. So keep those backup jokes ready! Believe it or not, some agencies write and sell personalized retirement speeches with witty jokes built in after knowing the personality and interests of the retiree. These companies usually add jokes about the retirees profession. If one cannot find enough retirement jokes, a visit to a bookshop can help a lot.

There are joke books that cover a wide range of topics, only one of which is retirement. A little search on this or that will help inspire the reader if he/she isnt a natural comedian. These can also be great retirement gifts too, helping the retiree have a good laugh on one of those boring Monday afternoons. There are also a lot of websites on the net that provide a lot of jokes and free retirement e-books. The e-books that are available range from the 150 Best Things Said about Retirement to Retirement Wisdoms You Wont Get from your Trust Managerr.

Conclusion: One has a lot of leeway when one tells jokes at a retirement party. If you know someone who is approaching retirement, you can first send an email or two which has retirement quotations like retirement is when everyday is Saturday and retirement: goodbye tension, hello pension!. It is a good gesture and gives the sense that you know what the future retiree is facing.

Again, keep the retiree (future or not) at ease as much as you can. Make him/her contemplate retirement with a smile and not with a sigh as much as you can. And when the retirement party does come, keep the same light-hearted approach, inserting jokes here and there and doing some gags like the ones mentioned above. Not only will the retiree feel less wary about retirement, he/she will focus more on the people who made him happy on that bitter-sweet day, especially the person that presented him with that strange pink wig.
