HAVE A GOOD LAUGH TODAY

Humor is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. In addition to the domino effect of joy and amusement, laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.

  * Smile. Smiling is the beginning of laughter. Like laughter, it’s contagious. Pioneers in “laugh therapy,” find it’s possible to laugh without even experiencing a funny event. The same holds for smiling. When you look at someone or see something even mildly pleasing, practice smiling.
    * Count your blessings. Literally make a list. The simple act of considering the good things in your life will distance you from negative thoughts that are a barrier to humor and laughter. When in a state of sadness, we have further to travel to get to humor and laughter.
    * When you hear laughter, move toward it. Sometimes humor and laughter are private, a shared joke among a small group, but usually not. More often, people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feed off the humor you find in it. When you hear laughter, seek it out and ask, “What’s funny?”
    * Spend time with fun, playful people. These are people who laugh easily–both at themselves and at life’s absurdities–and who routinely find the humor in everyday events. Their playful point of view and laughter are contagious.
    * Bring humor into conversations. Ask people, “What’s the funniest thing that happened to you today? This week? In your life?”

LIFE IN MY JOS-NIGERIA

 
John Mkom  reporting for facebookmag.blogspot.com

The Plateau State Capital, Jos has become a global focal point, certainly not in a good sense but in the consideration that the once beautiful, peaceful and hospitable city has been reduced to a terror zone of sorts, where killings, bombings, arson and mob violence, amongst others, have become the order of the day. John Mkom writes on this development.

There are few indigenous policy positions that achieve nearly every domestic consensus within the Nigerian community these days. A firm conviction that something should be done to end the crisis in the Jos region of Plateau State, however, is surely one of them. Regardless of whether the incessant carnage in Jos is described as religious killing, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, or jockeying for political power, among the political players on the plateau as they have been appearing all over the newspapers, since 2002. Just about everyone who has heard of Jos believes that more should be done to end the suffering.

So, why then does this persist after nearly eight years of incessant crises, thousands of news stories, countless speeches, and more than a dozen security council resolutions? Certainly, the people of Plateau State need nothing more than values of freedom, honest search of truth, equality in front of the law, equality between gender and (reciprocal) tolerance of religious denominations. And this is absolutely necessary, and unquestionably worth it, because the lives of the innocent citizens of this country are serious in danger.

The Jos crisis has claimed (and is still claiming) scores of lives everyday, with horrific stories of mass rape, murder, and unspeakable atrocities that have become commonplace in Jos. Since the January crisis in Jos, the major players in the crisis have been hibernating and have resorted to lugubrious and hideous nocturnal attack on children and women in various communities around Jos.

The December 23 bomb blast in the presence of ubiquitous military personnel has, once again, thrown Plateau State up for public odium and ridicule, bringing government's inability in cubing the crisis under severe scrutiny. Although Jos has attracted substantial media attention, little has been accomplished in attaining a long-term solution to the conflict.

It would be agreed that raising awareness of a problem is crucial, but it only goes so far. Tangible action must be taken to 'reduce the threat to Jos and other residents and save them of physical violence' and most importantly, 'to achieve a lasting political solution to end the conflict altogether. Left alone, the crisis would continue to grow increasingly dangerous for the people who live there, costing yet more Josites' lives, and costing everyone who has ever said 'never again' their credibility.

The clear answer, therefore, is that the national community must simply become more coordinated, more sophisticated, and ultimately more effective at ending the crisis in Jos. Though, achieving these goals will not be easy, and will certainly require the type of sustained political will that is only possible with sustained citizen advocacy. But they are possible. The real question, therefore, is not why the crisis in Jos persists, but whether we will collectively do what is necessary to end it. The time to be pro-Christianity or pro-Islam has gone; this is the time for all of us to be pro-peace.

Hawaii Governor Can't Find Obama Birth Certificate

Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie suggested in an interview published today that a long-form, hospital-generated birthcertificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.
Abercrombie told the Honolulu Star Advertiser he was searching within the Hawaii Department of Health to find definitive vital records that would prove Obamawas born in Hawaii, because the continuing eligibility controversy could hurt the president's chances of re-election in 2012.
Donalyn Dela Cruz, Abercrombie's spokeswoman in Honolulu, ignored again yesterday another in a series of repeated requests made by WND for an interview with the governor.
Toward the end of the interview, the newspaper asked Abercrombie: "You stirred up quite a controversy with your comments regarding birthers and your plan to release more information regarding President Barack Obama's birth certificate. How is that coming?"
In his response, Abercrombie acknowledged the birth certificate issue will have "political implications" for the next presidential election "that we simply cannot have."   facebook profile - Politics

COMMON TATTOO MISTAKES

The last thing you want to do when getting yourself a new tattoo is make a mistake. Tattoos are supposed to last a lifetime, and getting rid of one is not only painful and time consuming, it is also quite expensive as well. So how do you ensure you get the right tattoo and don't make a foolish mistake? By making sure you don't commit one of these common tattoo mistakes.
Getting a tattoo when you're drunk, on drugs or in the wrong state of mind.
If you're not thinking clearly for any reason, walk away from the tattoo shop. You may end up getting a tattoo that you'll regret for life. If you just broke up with someone, or are dealing with an emotional upset, same thing, walk away. Sleep on it, give it some thought before you commit to getting a tattoo you may very well regret in the end.
Getting a cheap tattoo.
Cheaper isn't always better. In fact, in most cases, cheaper is a very bad idea. You may end up with a tattoo that doesn't even resemble the design. A tattoo that isn't done correctly and needs to be removed, or worse yet, a disease from tools that have not been properly sterilized. Instead opt for the shop that provides the best tattoos irregardless of cost. This is something you are supposed to have for life, invest in it wisely, or live to regret it later.
Picking the wrong design.
Nothing is worse then picking out a design because your favorite celebrity has it. Pick something for you, not something for someone else. You want a tattoo that symbolizes yourself and your own lifestyle. Don't go with the fad tattoo that looks awful and just doesn't suit you.
Not thinking about it.
A tattoo is supposed to be a permanent thing. Make sure you put some proper thought into it. Rushing into things and not thinking properly about what you want, where you want it and how you want it will only lead to you having a tattoo you regret and that you need removed later on. Avoid the pain and cost of getting your tattoo removed by doing it right, the first time.
Tattoos can be a wonderful addition to your body, if you avoid the common mistakes made by people looking to get one done. Instead think ahead, do your research and come out with a tattoo you love, instead of a tattoo you can't stand. You'll thank yourself later for doing it right, the first time.

Getting a tattoo can be a big event. Doing it right the first time is key. For more tips on how to make sure to
