IF A WOMAN  HAS THESE 14 QUALITIES “NEVER LET HER GO” People in long term relationships will someday get to the point where they need to ask themselves: Is this really the person I want to spend the rest of my life with? Is the woman by my side really the one? Scientists all over the world are researching the extremely complicated issues surrounding love and relationships and they have spent thousands of hours trying to figure out how people fit together and what qualities they need to bring into a relationship to make it a happy and lasting one. We have compiled the most important and interesting results of these studies. If the woman by your side has these 14 qualities and behaviours, you know you have found the one. Gamer Noorul Mahjabeen Hassan is in 'intimate relationship' with the game Tetris 1. She is smarter than you When you are looking for a partner for life, make sure that she is smart. Ideally, she should be smarter than you. And science agrees....

10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD STAY IN THAT RELATIONSHIP  1. Relationships can help to make us better people. Often we have the energy to do things for others that we wouldn’t do for ourselves. Love is powerful in that way. If your partner brings out the best in you, he or she is a keeper. 2. You can get more done when you have a partner. Sometimes it’s a matter of motivation. Other times it’s just nice to have company. Whatever the reason, four hands can get more done than two. Putting your heads and hearts together helps as well. 3.Turning things around can be much easier than you think. Usually we are just being stubborn or resentful. Dropping your attitude and appreciating that your other half has been putting up with your peccadilloes can help to make you more understanding. 4. ENDING THINGS MAY BE EASY, BUT IT'S NOT COMMITMENT Sure, right now, if you are frustrated and feeling upset with the one you love, you could be thinking you want to end it. But do you real...

Seeing the same doctor over time 'lowers death rates' Repeated contact with the same doctor can be beneficial in many ways Patients who see the same doctor again and again have lower death rates, a study suggests. The benefits applied to visits to GPs and specialists and were seen across different cultures and health systems. University of Exeter researchers said the human aspect of medical practice was "potentially life-saving" but had been neglected. GPs' leaders said they recognised the value of patients seeing "their own" doctor. Because of intense workforce pressures, however, this could mean waiting even longer for an appointment, the Royal College of GPs said. Continuity of care is known to be particularly beneficial for patients with chronic conditions, long-term mental health issues and complex needs The study, published in BMJ Open, analysed the results of 22 studies in nine countries, including England, France, US, Cana...

6 Positive effects of a partner on health 1)Pain relief A partner's touch has been found to relieve pain in women. It is well known that people subconsciously synchronize their footsteps when they walk together or mirror a friend's posture during a conversation. Investigators from the University of Colorado, Boulder and the University of Haifa in Israel have now discovered that when heterosexual lovers touch when the woman is in pain, couples' heart rates and respiratory patterns synchronize and the woman's pain dissipates. These findings add to a growing body of evidence on "interpersonal synchronization," a phenomenon in which people begin to physiologically mirror those that they spend time with. "The more empathic the partner and the stronger the analgesic effect, the higher the synchronization between the two when they are touching," explains lead author Pavel Goldstein, a postdoctoral pain researcher at the University of Colorado, Bou...

Adverse effects of a partner on health 1)Intensify pain In contrast to the research that showed a partner's touch decreases pain, a study by King's College London in the U.K. found that being in the company of your partner could make pain worse. The researchers found that the more avoidant of closeness women were in their relationships, the more pain they experienced when given a laser pulse on their finger. Research led by the University of Edinburgh in the U.K. also found a connection between partners and pain. The team found that partners of individuals with depression have an increased risk of experiencing chronic pain. The researchers' analysis showed that depression and chronic pain share common causes. Some of these causes are genetic while others stem from the environment shared by the partners. 2)Derail your diet Dieting with your partner could end up derailing your weight loss plans.Dieting with your partner may seem to be a good idea, but research has i...

Your weight loss efforts are contagious Surprising ways your partner can affect your health How will your romantic partner help you to achieve a healthier lifestyle — or, alternatively, hinder your efforts? Many of us take the steps to shed those extra pounds because we want to live a healthier life or fit into our favorite outfit again. But could our efforts actually bring health benefits to our loved ones,too? Your healthful diet and lifestyle choices can change your partner's life for the better, a new study finds. Finally enrolling in that weight loss program or adopting a more balanced diet is something we may want to do not just for our own sake, but for the benefit of our partners, too. And no, that's not just because your significant other will enjoy being with a fitter partner. Turns out that we may be natural influencers — at least when it comes to the people we share our lives with — so that when we make more healthful choices, our partners will likely fee...

The 5 Stages of the Creative Process -->by James clear In 1940, an advertising executive named James Webb Young published a short guide titled, A Technique for Producing Ideas . In this guide, he made a simple, but profound statement about generating creative ideas. According to Young, innovative ideas happen when you develop new combinations of old elements. In other words, creative thinking is not about generating something new from a blank slate, but rather about taking what is already present and combining those bits and pieces in a way that has not been done previously. Most important, the ability to generate new combinations hinges upon your ability to see the relationships between concepts. If you can form a new link between two old ideas, you have done something creative. Young believed this process of creative connection always occurred in five steps. 1. Gather new material. At first, you learn. During this stage you focus on 1) learning specific material ...

USA Gymnastics board to resign after sex abuse scandal The entire board of the US national governing body for gymnastics is to resign as demanded by the head of the US Olympic Committee. US authorities are opening broader investigations into sexual abuse in sports. Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman at the sentencing hearing for former doctor Larry Nassar US Olympic Committee (USOC) Chief Executive Officer Scott Blackmun had called on the board of USA Gymnastics (USAG) to resign by next Wednesday following the conviction of former national team doctor Larry Nassar after more than 140 women accused him of sexual abuse. In response to a question on the board's position on Friday, spokeswoman Leslie King wrote in an email: "USA Gymnastics will comply with the USOC requirements." Five USAG directors had resigned in the immediate aftermath of Nassar's conviction. USOC had threatened to remove USAG's authority to run the sport if the other 16 directors failed...

The Limitations of Music Therapy---->By James Clear  You can summarize the current state of research on the connection between music and health by saying that we know music impacts our brains and bodies, but we don't quite understand exactly why or how music does this. And because we don't understand the details, it can be hard to use music for healing. To be honest, part of these issues could be solved if researchers performed better studies. Right now, researchers aren't doing themselves any favors because musical research rarely follows a typical format. Here are a few common errors (and solutions). 1. Current research doesn't clearly differentiate if it is the act of playing music or the act of listening to music that benefits patients. For example, if a patient gets better after playing songs on a keyboard, chanting in different tones, or singing their favorite song, are they benefiting from the musical notes or from the act of playing music? F...

The Research: Music as Medicine First, music can be used to relieve pain in patients. For example, surgery patients at the Cleveland Clinic that listened to recorded music saw a 4x decrease in post-surgical pain. Music has also been shown to reduce the amount of anesthesia needed during operations. Second, music can be used to relieve stress and anxiety. Calming music decreases blood pressure, steadies the heart rate, and eases stress. Research has shown that music can reduce stress for patients undergoing surgeries and colonoscopies, for children undergoing medical procedures, and for patients with coronary heart disease. There is also preliminary evidence showing that listening to music can boost immune system function by decreasing stress hormones and increasing growth hormones. These changes should prime the body to be in a better state for recovering from and resisting illnesses, but the research is weak thus far and needs further investigation. Finally, there are a rang...

Failure is an Event, Not an Identity Joshua Waitzkin, a martial arts competitor and champion chess player, says, “At a high level of competition, success often hinges on who determines the field and tone of battle.” It is your mental toughness—your Sisu —that determines the tone of battle. Most people let their battles define them. They see failure as an indication of who they are. Mentally tough people let their perseverance define them. They see failure as an event. Failure is something that happens to a person, not who a person is. This attitude is what helped carry the Finnish soldiers through the Winter War. Even when surrounded by failure, by death, and by insurmountable odds, their Sisu did not let the soldiers see themselves as failures. We will all face moments when our physical and mental resources feel tapped out. There will always be times when we are hammered with failure after failure and are called to find a fire within. And perhaps even more frequently, ...

Lagos— A technician, Ozoemena Osigwe, has allegedly stabbed an unemployed man on the buttocks for refusing to buy him a bottle of beer. He was, yesterday, arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court, Lagos. Osigwe, 37, who resides at Marwa Ghetto, is facing a count charge of unlawful assault and occasioning harm. The prosecutor, Inspector Ingobo Emby, told the court that the complainant, Samuel Emmanuel, was drinking at a bar when Osigwe approached and taunted him that he was drunk.
