If you know you need to make lifestyles changes and have had mixed success at best in achieving them, then this newsletter is meant for you. If you've ever: - tried to cut out red meat, but couldn't do it, - promised yourself you'd exercise 3 times a week, but couldn't stick with it, or simply thought yourself bad or weak because you seemed to lack the willpower to take actions to improve your health, you'll benefit from reading this publication. This guide is dedicated to the proposition that you can, by developing and following a "plan of attack" you believe in, not only survive heart disease -- but thrive, living a full and vital life. Each month, you'll receive a brief article which will tap thought-provoking research. Links in the newsletter will provide you with citations for the research and additional information. This newsletter also periodically brings you: 1) announcements of upcoming live, interactive teleconferences with experts in the field as well as with people who have grappled with developing and sticking to their own plans, 2) reviews of relevant Web sites, and 3) identification of other valuable resources you can use. Whether you have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, angina, or elevated cholesterol, or simply think you may be at-risk, this newsletter will provide you with valuable, thought-provoking information to enhance your health and your life.

Owner: Lewis Papier Turfseer@aol.com ---------------------------- 2. CHANGES AND CORRECTIONS ---------------------------- C-PSYCH ------- C-PSYCH: Cross-Cultural Psychology Discussion List Change in Discussion Management C-Psych (CP) has recently changed to an "edited mode" which means that each posting has to be approved by the listowner(s) before it reaches the members. Screening criteria include, but are not limited to: netiquette, commercialism, appropriateness of postings, excessive quoting. The scholarly conference C-PSYCH (Cross-Cultural Psychology) is a forum for the exchange of ideas, opinions, and information among all individuals -- researchers, practitioners, students, and the lay public -- interested in cross-cultural psychology. This list is particularly designed to discuss generic issues in cross-cultural psychology and its intertwining disciplines, such as developmental, cognitive, personality, and social psychology. The discussion of topics of clinical relevance is n o t encouraged, but tolerated, because this is explicitly _not_ a major topic of CP. A main focus of CP lies in the discussion of both quantitative and qualitative methodology, research as such, and generic issues in the study of cultures.
