Health / How To Manage Depression by franks123(m): 6:09pm On Jul 18, 2016
Introduction
1. The word 'depression' causes much confusion. It is often used to describe when someone is feeling 'low', 'miserable', 'in a mood', or having 'got out of bed on the wrong side'.

2. However, doctors use the word in two different ways. They can use it to describe the symptom of a 'low mood', or to refer to a specific illness, i.e a 'depressive illness'. This factsheet relates to depression, the illness.

3. This confusion is made all the worse because it is often difficult to tell the difference between feeling gloomy and having a depressive illness. Doctors make a diagnosis of depression after assessing the severity of the low mood, other associated symptoms and the duration of the problem.

4. Depression is very common. Almost anybody can develop the illness; it is certainly NOT a sign of weakness.

5. Depression is also treatable. You may need to see a doctor, but there are things you can do yourself or things you can do to help somebody suffering from the illness. What you cannot do is 'PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER' - no matter whether this is what you think you should be able to do, or what other people tell you to do.

6. People who have experienced an episode of depression are at risk of developing another in the future. A small proportion may experience an episode of depression as part of a bipolar affective disorder (manic depression) that is characterised by episodes of both low and high moods.

Nevertheless, depression is a state whereby someones mood is low and averted from normal activities which can affect the person's thoughts, feelings, behaviour and sense of well being.

Types of treatment
1. Psychotherapy: There are many different forms of psychotherapy. Simply talking to somebody or your doctor about your problems is a form of psychotherapy and can help greatly.
2. Medication: Antidepressant medication helps to correct the 'low' mood and other symptoms experienced during depression; they are NOT 'happy pills'. Antidepressants do not change your personality. Antidepressants are NOT addictive.

Who gets depressed?

Depression is very common.

Between 5 and 10 per cent of the population are suffering from the illness to some extent at any one time.

Over a lifetime you have a 20 per cent, or one in five, chance of having an episode of depression.

Women are twice as likely to get depression as men.

Getting depression is not a sign of weakness. There are no particular 'personality types' that are more at risk than others. However, some risk factors have been identified; these include inherited (genetic) factors, such as having parents or grandparents who have suffered from depression and non-genetic factors such as the death of a parent when you were young.

What causes depression?

We do not fully understand the causes of depression.

Genes or early life experiences may make some people vulnerable.

Stressful life events, such as losing a job or a relationship ending, may trigger an episode of depression.

Depression can be triggered by some physical illnesses, drug treatments and recreational drugs.

It is often impossible to identify a 'cause' in many people and this can be distressing for people who want to understand the reasons why they are ill.However depression, like any illness, can strike for no apparent reason.

It is clear that there are definite changes in the way the brain works when a person is depressed: Modern brain scans that can look at how 'hard' the brain is working have shown that some areas of the brain (such as at the front) are not working as well as normal. Depressed patients have higher than normal levels of stress hormones.

Education / Facts About Life That One Should Compliment by franks123(m): 1:16pm On Jul 14, 2016
1.Accept, embrace and celebrate change.
2. Don’t waste time worrying and moaning about stuff you have no control over. Let it go.
3. Everything you see depends on how you look at it.
4. Stop comparing your insides to everyone else’s outsides.
5. Listening to someone — really listening — is one of the most important, respectful and rewarding things you can do.
6. It’s awesome to collect people throughout life, but you’re truly blessed if you have a handful of besties who will always, always have your back. Even if you don’t speak to them all that often, you know they’re there.
7. The morning after is rarely — if ever — worth the night before.
8. No one gives a crap if you go to the supermarket in sweats without makeup and your unwashed hair in a ponytail on top of your head.
9. Experiences are infinitely more memorable than stuff.
10. Confidence is beautiful and powerful.
11. Laugh lines are worth it.
12. It will always boggle your mind how some people will exceed the lowest imaginable depth of stupidity, incompetence and nastiness, while others will exceed the highest imaginable pinnacle of kindness, compassion and helpfulness.
13. Don’t live your life by anyone else’s expectations, taste, hopes or dreams.
14. If you rely on others for joy, you will never be joyful yourself.
15. Grudges aren’t worth it.
16. You’ll never regret going out of your way to brighten someone’s day.
17. “Please” and “thank you” are always appreciated and appropriate.
18. Tell the little self-sabotaging voice in your head to bug off.
19. The food doesn’t matter. The table settings don’t matter. All that matters is the company.
20. Being super-busy is not a badge of honor, importance, popularity or success. It’s perfectly OK, and actually healthier and preferable, to be not so busy.

Sports / Portugal Vs Wales ( 20:00 CAT) by franks123(m): 3:34pm On Jul 06, 2016
It’s Real Madrid vs Real Madrid this evening in Lyon as Gareth Bale, for Wales, and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo go head-to-head by 08:00 pm till dawn.

The two stars and team-mates are not only vying for a place in the UEFA Euro 2016 final—they are, more than probably, competing to decide the unofficial mantle of world’s greatest footballer.

The stakes could not be higher on so many levels. But how do the two sensations compare? Newsweek examines their talents.

Goalscoring

Ronaldo has the clear edge here. He is the archetypal “goal machine,” having struck more than 50 goals in a season in each of the past six years.

Bale is no slouch—he has scored 47 league goals in 75 league appearances during his three seasons at Real Madrid—but he is yet to approach his club colleague’s prolific form.

In terms of assists, Ronaldo has the edge, too—at least at UEFA Euro 2016. He has created eight chances to Bale’s four, though the Welshman has four goals in the tournament so far to Bale’s three.

Fitness

Ronaldo is famous for his fitness regime—even at 31 and in the beginning of the twilight of his career, he is in immaculate shape.

lets watch out and see what happens......... but before that what do you predict

Just work harder and make sure you keep achieve greater things. She would run back on her knees. Women and longthroat are synonyms.

Imagine having her friend who's a bank marketing staff telling your ex that it was the deposit you made in the bank that's still saving her job. Imagine her other friend in a reputable estate firm telling her that their boss literally adores you because of the commission they make from managing your properties.
And more sweet news keep rolling.

Travel / World Tourist Places Made Up Of Natural Eternal Flames( Full Of Funs) by franks123(m): 4:15pm On Jul 01, 2016
1. Chestnut Ridge Park
Image result for chestnut ridge parkImage result for chestnut ridge park
This is one of the places where there are eternal natural flames. it is a recreational place situated in Orchard Park, New York, which is named originating from the chestnut trees on its hills. it is located behind a waterfall in shale creek preserve south of chestnut ridge park in northwestern pennsylvania. right in that location is a strange beautiful natural flame that can be viewed through the falling waters of the waterfall,and believed was set by native americans long years back ago....
scientifically, the chestnut ridge park flame is as a cause of ethane and propane. but with researches, the science of chestnut ridge is that the flames source is enclosed either by a rock or by sand because the ground is not hot enough to ignite the gas and keep it burning. the parks property was acquired by eric county in 1926 and was the first for county to establish.

2. The Brennender Berg( burning mountain)
Image result for The Brennender Berg( burning mountain)Image result for The Brennender Berg( burning mountain)
Image result for The Brennender Berg( burning mountain)The glow burning of brennender berg mountain is a natural monument located within a deep and narrow gorge in saarland germany. the fire is a coal seam fire which since 1688 is burning till date. the unplanned coal mining resulted to spontaneous combustion caused by pressure and decomposition.
History recorded that the fire was set by a shepherd at a tree stump which penetrated the roots to the seam of the underground coal, where cracks are seen glowing out of rocks thereby building up smokes. due to rainfall and changes in weather, the smoke and light has reduced.
This unpredictable natural phenomenon makes this mountain a tourist area and/or destination for school trips and excursions. johann wolfgang von goethe's visit was the first tourism held at brennender berg in 1770 and a commemorative plaque records the event which he later explained that a strong sulphur smell enveloped him,with a reddish colour glowing which has roasted the rocks, adding that he felt the hotness despite the thick sole shoes he worn.

3.Water And Fire Cave
Image result for Water And Fire CaveImage result for Water And Fire Cave
The water and fire cave is one of the seven most naturally made wonders in the world, and its situated in guanziling, in tainan city's baihe district. because of the most fantastic mud volcanoes and natural spring in this country,the geology of the place tends to release methane gas from cracks and faults, of which liuchong river runs through those faults bobbling out fire from the methane gas...
The incompatibility of the fire and water inside a cavry surrounding rock makes it a wonderful and tourist area in the world.one might not even think its a real fire till getting closer and feeling the heat of the fire.
practically, the flame has decreased but still impressive. records says the site was discovered by a monk in 1701,which entails that the flame has been burning continuously for years over.

4.Burning Mountain
Image result for Burning Mountain Image result for Burning Mountain
This mountain is mount wingen but commonly called burning mountain. The mount is situated in new south wales, australia,224 km north of sydney off new england highway(approximately). its name was as a result of spontaneous combustion from a smouldering coal seam running underground through a sandstone.
the mountains blaze moves at a rate of about 1 meter each year due south.from when the flame started, it can be estimated that the fire has moved 6 kilometer, which makes it the oldest coal fire known since days.the fires combustion has caused a lot of damage to the soil including discolouring the soil,thereby making the ground an uneven surface.
this wonderful scenario has made it a beautiful tourist arena for people to visit.....................................................................[url=franksportalonet..com]read more and view images here[/url]

Health / Safety At Your Home by franks123(m): 1:37pm On Jun 06, 2016
It's quite natural to think of your home as the safest place you can be. After all, that is where you enjoy the cares of the world and escape the pressures of work.

However, many serious accidents happen at home. Painful injuries, permanent disability and even death can be the result of home accidents. Falls and fires are particular dangers at home.

fortunately, there is much you can do to improve the safety in your home.

Start by following this home safety checklist.

1. Are stairways clear, with no items stored on them, even temporarily?

2. Are stairs, steps and floors in good condition and free of tripping hazards such as torn carpet and loose tiles?

3. Is illumination adequate in all your rooms and walkways?

4. Is there a non-slip surface on the floor of the shower and bathtub?

5. Is your home protected by these safety devices: Smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors, etc.

6. Is all wiring in good condition?

7. Are extension cords used only temporarily? Are they kept out of traffic areas?

8. Are any flammable liquids such as gasoline and paint thinner stored in approved covered containers, in well ventilated areas?
