This is an interesting bit of news.... Tuesday August 17 8:32 PM ET Study finds music eases stress for most By Grant McCoolNEW YORK (Reuters) - Listening to music is what most people do to ease stress, with watching television a close second, according to a global study released Tuesday. ``Today, we believe music's ubiquity and increasing portability make it the No. 1 stress buster,'' said Tom Miller, director of the study by Roper Starch Worldwide, which found that 56 percent said music minimized stress. Watching TV at 53 percent was the next most popular way of easing stress, followed by taking a bath or a shower at 49 percent in the study, which covered 30 countries. Two weeks ago the New York-based marketing, public opinion, advertising and media research group published the first part of its ``Global 2000 Consumer Study'' showing that all over the world, women suffer more stress than men, especially full-time working mothers with children under age 13. ``When you think of music's cost and its availability via radio, TV, personal CD players, the Internet and so many other new channels of individualized distribution and communication, it's not surprising that more than half the world listens to music to relax,'' Miller said. Roper Starch Worldwide said the study in Europe, North America, South America, Asia and one country each in Africa and the Middle East was based on interviews with 1,000 consumers in each country. It said the study is projectable to 1.39 billion people and has a sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points for each country. The interviewees were asked which activity out of 24 they prefer to minimize or release stress. Music ranked highest for North America (64 percent) and lowest for developed Asia (46 percent).

NO TIME TO PRACTICE?? READ THIS: |
Imagine there is a bank that
credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day
to day. Every evening it deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use
during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course! Each of us has such a bank. Its name
is TIME. -anonymous |
Although no one knows who wrote that, I do know how I got it. It was posted it in the Brighton Bearcat Bulletin, which is a great weekly publication from the Brighton Elementary School.
