The Pomodoro Technique has been invented by Francesco Cirilio in the late 1980s. He needed something to stay focused on his tasks and thus used a kitchen timer to divide his work into intervals of 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes breaks. The kitchen timer had the form of a tomatoe (pomodoro) which gave the technique its name. Although the technique existed some time it wasn’t very well known until recently, when a Pomodoro book has been released.

Bloggers, Writers and Developers have been the first to adapt the technique for their work. These early adopters spread the word and today the Pomodoro Technique is used by many people for writing, studying and developing. Whenever there is a task that needs a lot of concentration and focus the Pomodoro Technique helps to get things done.

The game itself – while built off of the unique premise of having players infiltrate and rob a wacky chocolate factory – functions as a classic top tier arcade game would. While I Luv Chocolat Lite contains only two levels the full game is much larger in scope, consisting of seven expansive individual levels through which players navigate, collecting each one of the thirty different chocolates hidden within the game in order to win. To successfully pass each stage, players need to rack up a set a mount of points – done by catching and eating as much delicious chocolate as possible – within a given time limit. To make things even more challenging, each level is riddled with pesky factory guards and bad chocolates which will deplete a user’s time banks and take points away if eaten.

For those taking blood thinning medications like Coumadin(R) or Warfarin (also known as Jantoven, Marfarin, Lawarin, Waran and Marevan), then this is an app which will truly be used on a regular basis. Most lists providing information on the content of vitamin K in foods generally contain only a limited number of foods, and often they don’t indicate the serving size. It is important to understand that the goal for those taking blood thinning medications isn’t to not eat any foods with vitamin K, but rather to keep relatively constant the amount of vitamin K ingested each day so the amount of blood thinning medication prescribed can work effectively. This can be different for every person using these medications, and this is why doctors require occasional blood tests as they indicate if the dosage needs to be adjusted.
