المسؤول التلفزيوني جوردون رمسي مشهور بالسباب
قال علماء إن السباب الذي قد يطلقه شخص لدى إيذائه نفسه يعد سياسة سليمة حيث كشفت البحوث ان السب والقذف يخفف الاحساس بالألم.
وتوصلت دراسة أجراها باحثون بجامعة كيل البريطانية على مجموعة من المتطوعين ان السب والشتم خفف الاحساس بالألم لديهم بنسبة 50 بالمئة. وقد تم نشر نتائج هذه الدراسة بصحيفة "نيروريبورت".
وجاءت الفكرة للدكتور ريتشارد ستيفنز رئيس فريق الباحثين لدى إصابته إصبع يده بمطرقة عندما كان يقوم باصلاحات في حديقة منزله.
واستعان فريق البحث بنحو 64 متطوعا طلب من كل منهم وضع يديه في ماء شديد البرودة للمدة التي يقدر عليها على ان يظل يكرر السباب الذي يختاره.
ثم طلب من المتطوعين تكرار التجربة مع تكرار لفظ عادي. وكانت النتيجة هي زيادة قدرة المتطوعين على تحمل المياه شديدة البرودة وهم يكررون السباب بالمقارنة باللفظ العادي.
ورغم عدم وضوح السبب وراء هذه العلاقة بين السباب وتراجع حدة الألم فقد اقترح الباحثون ان السباب يزيد معدل ضربات القلب والنزعة العدوانية وهي الأمور التي تحدث في مواجهة التهديد أو الخوف من أجل التعامل مع هذه المواقف وفي حالة هذه التجربة يحدث تراجع حدة الألم.
وقال الدكتور ستيفنز "ولعل ذلك يوضح لماذا تطورت ممارسات السباب عبر العصور واستمرارها حتى الآن".
ولكنه حذر من التعود على السباب وقال "ان السب والقذف لغة عاطفية تفقد معناها بالتكرار".
وقال رهان برت، وهو من احدى الجمعيات التي تعنى بالسباب "هذه هي الدراسة الأولى من نوعها التي تثبت فوائد السباب".
مايكروسوفت أوفيس مجانا على شبكة الإنترنت
أعلنت مايكروسوفت أنها ستعرض برنامج أوفيس مجانا على شبكة الإنترنت عندما تطلق محركها للبحث.
ويسمى هذا البرنامج أوفيس 2010 وسيتضمن صيغا مبسطة لبرامج وورد وإكسل وباوربوينت ووان نوت.ويعتقد المراقبون أن هذا العرض الجديد سينافس مجموعة البرامج المكتبية دوكس التي عرضها جوجل مجانا قبل ثلاث سنوات.فقد استوحى محرك البحث برامج ويندوز لإعداد برنامجه المكتبي، كما أعلن عملاق البرمجيات الأمريكي خلال شهر يونيو/ حزيران الماضي أنه سيطلق محركا للبحث باسم "بينج".
وقال مدير الإنتاج لفرع أوفيس لبي بي سي: "نعتقد أن الشبكة الإلكترونية تتيح مجالا أوسع فيما يتعلق بالقدرة على الربط والتواصل."وتقول مايكروسوفت إن زبناءها الـ400 مليون الذي يتصفحون موقع ويندوز لايف، سيكون بإمكانهم ولوج شبكة أوفيس دون تكاليف.وأعلنت الشركة خلال مؤتمر لشركائها أنها ستعرض قبل نهاية هذه السنة نسخة تجريبية على بضعة آلاف من المختبرين.
وستطلق النسخة النهائية لمستخدمي الحواسيب الشخصية في النصف الأول من السنة المقبلة.

الدماغ "يشعر" بالسعادة أسرع من الحزن!
وجدت دراسة جديدة أنه عندما يتعلق الأمر بالتقاط الإشارات العاطفية من الآخرين، فإن الدماغ يستجيب للشعور بالسعادة أكثر من الحزن.
وذكر موقع "هلث داي نيوز" أنه تبين للباحثين في جامعة برشلونة بإسبانيا أن الجزء الأيمن من الدماغ يتعامل مع العواطف بشكل أسرع من النصف الأيسر منه، مشيرين بأن الجزء الأيمن يظهر "تلهفاً" أكثر عندما يتعلق الأمر بالأمور الايجابية والسعيدة من الأيسر.
وفي هذا السياق، قال جي. أنطونيو أزنار كاسانوفا في مؤتمر علمي إسباني "إن الدماغ يتجاوب مع السعادة والدهشة بوتيرة أسرع من الحزن والخوف".
وتوصل الباحثون في الجامعة إلى هذه النتيجة بعد دراسة على 80 طالباً في علم النفس، بينهم 65 امرأة و15 رجلاً باستخدام تقنية خاصة من أجل معرفة أي الجزئين من الدماغ يسرّع تفسير المعلومات التي ترده ويتجاوب معها.
وخلصت الدراسة، التي نشرت في مجلة "لاتيراليتي: أيه سيمتركس أوف بادي براين أند كونغنشن"، إلى أن الدماغ يستجيب ويلتقط إشارات السعادة بشكل أسرع من الحزن.

Foods that can help to prevent swine flu
With more than 9,000 confirmed cases of swine flu in the UK and experts estimating that the number could rise dramatically in the autumn, this is a good question. It is likely that a weakened immune system could make you more susceptible to a virus, and that eating well can give your body the best chance of fighting back.
As Dr Nick Phin, who is head of pandemic flu planning at the Health Protection Agency, explains: “A person who is malnourished is likely to be more susceptible to infections and for most people, a healthy and nutritionally balanced diet will be an important factor in helping to maintain a healthy immune system.”
Obviously, advice on reducing your chances of catching the virus includes catching your sneezes in a tissue, placing it quickly in the bin and washing your hands and surfaces regularly to kill the virus and help to prevent it getting into your body in the first place. But if it does get in, what you eat may help to optimise the strength of the membranes in your ears, nose and throat to form an internal physical barrier against invading organisms.
Protein-rich meat, chicken, eggs and fish, milk, dairy foods, pulse vegetables, nuts, seeds and soya-based foods all supply vital nourishment for the epithelial cells in these membranes. Three average-sized servings a day of any of these are important to maintain the integrity of these “barrier” tissues.
The Elephant Rope
As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the
fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied
to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the
elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but
for some reason, they did not.
I saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent
animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. "Well," he said,
"when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to
tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up,
they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the
rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free."
I was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their
bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where
they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging
onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it
once before?
So make an attempt to grow further....nothing can stop you...except you...
"YOUR ATTEMPT MAY FAIL, BUT NEVER

A special world
A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong

HAVE A NICE DAY
A wonderful story
So the son started to follow his father’s advice. On the first day he hammered in 37 nails, but getting the nails into the fence was not easy, so he started trying to control himself when he got angry. As the days went by, he was hammering in less nails, and within weeks he was able to control himself and was able to refrain from getting angry and from hammering nails. He came to his father and told him what he had achieved. His father was happy with his efforts and said to hi “But now, my son, you have to take out a nail for every day that you do not get angry.”
The son started to take out the nails for each day that he did not get angry, until there were no nails left in the fence.
He came to his father and told him what he had achieved. His father took him to the fence and said, “My son, you have done well, but look at these holes in the fence. This fence will never be the same again.” Then he adde “When you say things in a state of anger, they leave marks like these holes on the hearts of others. You can stab a person and withdraw the knife but it doesn’t matter how many times you say ‘I’m sorry,’ because the wound will remain.

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree.
A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday.
He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow...
He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by...the little boy had grown up,
And he no longer played around the tree every day.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad.
"Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.
"I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees any more"
The boy replied.
"I want toys. I need money to buy them."
"Sorry, but I do not have money...
But you can pick all my apples and sell them.
" The boy was so excited.
He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.
The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
The tree was sad.
One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned
And the tree was excited "Come and play with me" the tree said.
"I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family.
We need a house for ************************ter.
Can you help me?
" Sorry”,
But I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches
To build your house.
" So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then.
The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day,
The man returned and the tree was delighted.
"Come and play with me!" the tree said.
"I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself.
“Can you give me a boat?"
“Said the man”.
"Use my trunk to build your boat.
You can sail far away and be happy.
" So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat.
He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the man returned after many years.
"Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore.
No more apples for you...
" The tree said”.
"No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite
" The man replied.
"No more trunk for you to climb on"
"I am too old for that now" the man said.
"I really cannot give you anything...
The only thing left is my dying root,”
The tree said with tears.
"I do not need much now, just a place to rest.
I am tired after all these years" the man replied.
"Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest,
Come, come sit down with me and rest.
" The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...
This is you and the tree is your parent. !!!!!

A special world for u and me;
A special bond one cannot see;
It warps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb
Friends will come and friend will go,
The seasons change and it will show,
I will age and so will you,
But our friendship stays, strong and true.
A special world for and me;
A special bond one cannot see;
It warps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
There’s nothing as nice as someone who shares,
Your laughter, your secrets, your wishes and cares,
Someone who’s there through your good time and tears,
Who stays by your side as your friend through the years.
FOREVER
