In a class I'm taking this semester called Fundamentals in Exercise and Nutrition, we came to the library to use the computers. Our class needed the computers to fill out a health assessment called the RealAge Test. The test asks questions regarding one's health, feelings, fitness, and diet. The results the test gives varies depending on your answers to the questions. For example, my current age is 19.6 but based on my answers to all the questions, my RealAge is 18.7. The assessment gives you your RealAge and then it breaks down all of your answers and tells you whether you need to make changes or if you need to maintain your current choices. For example, there was a question in the diet section about the amount of grains I consume each week. From my answer the test told me that I need to eat more grains. It was a great assessment that made it easy to evaluate my current health and identify any changes that need to be made.

Interesting web site

Just read a positive review of this website in the College and Research Libraries News (yes, another one of those boring journals we continuously read for current happenings in the library world.  Boring to those outside of the library).  "Business and Human Rights Resource Centre"  http://www.business-humanrights.org/Home can be used for many disciplines; business, politics, sociology, and health for starters.  This site, updated hourly, reports about the positive and negative impacts that businesses around the world have on human rights.  I did a search for Keystone and was disappointed that only 2 articles came up about the current debate over that pipeline and both backed the environmentalist attitude toward it.   Then I did a search for Coca-cola and was pleased at the number of hits there.  The first article told of how the Century bottling company in Uganda had their employees tested for HIV and then those that were positive received treatment.   A good thing as Martha would say.  It was the hope of the reviewer, Maureen James, University of Arkansas-Little Rock, that "this site may also motivate companies to be accountable in their dealings with humans and the environment."
