Wise Words for You

The   Cold War   was the tense relationship between the United States (and its allies) and the Soviet Union (USSR, and its allies) between the end of World   War   II and the demise of the Soviet Union; i.e. the years 1945 to 1991. From Tuesday the 24th to Thursday 26th I will be talking about the Cold War. I have kept it simple and very brief due to the fact of the Cold War being a tense subject in some countries, hence why I am telling you now. On Tuesday I will be talking about What was the Cold War? On Wednesday I will be talking about the Causes of the Cold War in 1945 and concluding on Thursday I will be showing a Chronology of the Cold War.

I am hope in a stream of hopelessness  I am a dream in a cloud of nightmares   I am love when hate abounds   I am light when darkness surrounds   I am the last breath in fatigue   I am the doubt that only you believe   I am the finishing step   In your endless race   I am the burst of speed   That puts you in first place   I am the part of you that doesn't give up   I am the open path in an endless maze I am the lush water puddle in a dry desert I am the last peach on a dying tree I am the touch of life that sets you free I am everything you lack I am the second chance that takes you back I am the iron shield when you take a blow I am the one to show you where to go I am that final thought in your mind That pushes you to the end I have always been your greatest friend I am the part of you that doesn't give up I am as pristine as the orange ocean sunset I am as beautiful as th...

  The Human Genome Project (HGP) was the international, collaborative research program whose goal was the complete mapping and understanding of all the genes of human beings. All our genes together are known as our "genome." The HGP was the natural culmination of the history of genetics research. In 1911, Alfred Sturtevant, then an undergraduate researcher in the laboratory of Thomas Hunt Morgan, realized that he could - and had to, in order to manage his data - map the locations of the fruit fly ( Drosophila melanogaster ) genes whose mutations the Morgan laboratory was tracking over generations. Sturtevant's very first gene map can be likened to the Wright brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk. In turn, the Human Genome Project can be compared to the Apollo program bringing humanity to the moon. The hereditary material of all multi-cellular organisms is the famous double helix of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contains all of our genes. DNA, in turn, is ...

The danger signs that you are living to your labels are very clear. 1. Your life is grey. There's no passion. You've checked out and are just going through the motions. 2. If you're low on your own priority list, then you know your labels and internal dialogue have taken over. 3. You need someone else's approval. You need someone else to tell you that you're OK, which means you're giving your power away. 4. You're just going along to get along. More Advice: Don't let your past become your future. Take responsibility. It's not an accident: When you think better, you feel better. But you've got to believe what you're thinking. Don't compare your reality to everyone else's social mask. There is no reality, only perception " especially when it comes to defining who you are.

“All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.” ~Proverb 1. Be kind toward yourself.   You know how on airplanes they advise that in case of a possible accident, parents should put on their oxygen masks before they help their kids? The same thing applies here. Be kind toward yourself. Really. You can’t give what you don’t have, right? So go ahead and do the things you love—dance, sing, or paint all you want. Just enjoy. Then go and spread some happiness around you. 2.   Smile. This is the best method ever to make your own day and spread happiness around to others. Don’t wait to be happy; think of something good in your life, smile, and see what happens. 3.   Surprise! Surprise the people you love with flowers, small presents, kind words, help, a hug, or a genuine compliment. 4.   Be a hero. Notice and help someone around you, a perfect stranger. I’ve just witnessed a hero in action. This homeless-looking guy came to a café a...

  Dreams can be mysterious, but understanding the meaning of our dreams can be downright baffling. The content of our dreams can shift suddenly, feature bizarre elements or frighten us with terrifying imagery. The fact that dreams can be so rich and compelling is what causes many to believe that there must be some meaning to our dreams. While many theories exist to explain why we dream, no one yet fully understands their purpose, let alone how to interpret the meaning of dreams. In fact, some prominent researchers such as G. William Domhoff suggest that dreams most likely serve no real purpose. Despite this, dream interpretation has becoming increasingly popular. While research has not demonstrated a purpose for dreams, many experts believe that dreams do have meaning. According to Domhoff: "'Meaning' has to do with coherence and with systematic relations to other variables, and in that regard dreams do have meaning. Furthermore, they are very "revealing...

Friday March 20th is 'International Day of Happiness' - but amongst all the dubious advice that is inevitably going to pedalled as the secret to happiness - what does psychology and science reveal as the most practical way to achieve greater well-being quickly?  The answer may come as a surprise - the latest research seems to place great store on daydreams. Daydreaming is not just one of the things we spend more time doing than practically anything else, psychological research just published finds that particular kinds of daydreams are strongly associated with being happier.  But previous studies have also found that the 'wrong' sort of daydream is linked with low mood and even clinical depression.  So how to know what kind of daydream is good for you? When psychologists are asked 'what is the secret to being happy', they often reply that people report feeling happiest when socializing, and interacting with friends.  As feeling socially connected is...
