Font Personalities

In Information Management we are using different fonts and the way they are used to create a mood. For example you wouldn't use the word round for a word you would experiment with the font and change in into something round, and you could use the banana and shape it into a banana.
Different fonts are cool to use I like to experiment with the fonts just to make is look like the word.

Women and Alcohol

Women and Alcohol

She has a glass or two of wine and feels it go straight to her head. He has the same amount to drink and feels fine.

Researchers confirm something many women have always suspected-it takes less alcohol for a woman to feel tipsy than it does for a man, and it’s not all to do with body size. Even if a woman is the same weight as a man and drinks the same amount of alcohol, she will end up with a blood alcohol level a third higher then his. It will also take a third longer for her body to eliminate the alcohol from her blood.

Why alcohol affects woman more then men and is potentially more harmful is one of a number of topics covered in a booklet produced by Alcohol Advisory Council.
Alcohol affects women more then men because women have higher proportion of body fat and less water in their bodies than men. This means that once it is in the bloodstream of a woman, the alcohol is not as diluted and has a stronger effect. So even if a woman is compared with that of a healthy young man, she will generally be affected more quickly and feel the effects for much longer then man will.

Both males and females have an enzyme in their stomach designed to process alcohol into a safer substance, yet for reasons that are not clear to scientists, this enzyme is 70-80 percent more effective in men than in women. If the liver is a healthy young woman is compared with that of a healthy young man, it will generally take her liver longer to process one drink than his, and a person starts to feel drunk when they drink they alcohol faster than their liver can process it.

New Zealand research has found more women are drinking and the amount of alcohol consumed by women is increasing. Young women are also drinking, and what is particularly concerning is that a significant proportion of young women are adopting a pattern of drinking similar to their male counterparts-That is, consuming large amounts of alcohol in one go.

Other topics included in the booklet are alcohol and women’s health, alcohol and sex, alcohol and pregnancy, alcohol and breastfeeding. There is also a guide to how much is too much and a section on getting help and advice.

Setting up the blog
