Family › Warning: Living Alone May Be Hazardous To Your Health by Ina2k(op): 8:31pm On Nov 26, 2013*

One of the most unprecedented trends of
modern society is the number of people
who choose to live alone. As sociologist Eric
Klinenberg observed in his 2012
book Going Solo, living alone was virtually
unheard of in most world
cultures throughout history prior to the
20th century, but an estimated 32.7 million
people now live alone in the United States,
accounting for about 28 percent of the
country’s households today, compared with
17 percent in 1970.
The medical and mental effects of this shift
are complex. As Klinenberg notes, many
people who live alone still remain highly
social and connected with friends and
family, so living alone doesn’t necessarily
mean that a person is isolated.
But what of those who live alone and are
socially isolated? In a study published today
in the Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences, a group of researchers from
University College London attempted to
explore the health consequences of those
who are isolated from others, and found
that limited contact with others increases a
person’s overall risk of death over time.
The group, led by Andrew Steptoe,
examined data on the 6,500 older adults
(aged 52 and up) who took part in the
English Longitudinal Study of Ageing in
2004, and monitored which participants
survived up until last March. The
researchers specifically looked at the
association between mortality (overall risk
of death) and a pair of conditions: social
isolation (as indicated by a lack of contact
with others) and loneliness (as reflected by
participants’ answers on a survey).
In total, 14.1 percent of the people who’d
participated in the survey had died in the 8
years after the study was administered,
but those who were classified as socially
isolated had died at considerably higher
rates. Of the most socially isolated
respondents, 21.9 percent did not survive
to March 2012, as compared with 12.3
percent of the least isolated. Even after the
participants’ baseline health and
demographic factors were taken into
account, being socially isolated
still correlated to an increase in their
mortality.
Interestingly, though, defining oneself as
lonely—via the answers about one’s
emotions and psychological state on the
survey—did not have the same effect.
Those who were lonely did have overall
higher mortality, but this was because on
average, they were older and had poorer
baseline health conditions at the start.
When the researchers controlled for
baseline health and age, the mortality gap
between the lonely and the non-lonely
largely vanished.
This indicates that the real danger of living
alone is not feeling lonely per se, but having
reduced contact with others. One
possibility is that an older person who
seldom sees friends and family is less likely
to get the help they need in managing
various ailments, and is probably also less
likely to be encouraged to go see a doctor
when new health problems pop up. The
researchers speculate that living alone
might even cause people to have poorer
health habits, such as smoking, eating an
unhealthy diet and getting
less physical activity.
This jibes with previous work by other
researchers, such as the fact that living
alone with a serious cardiovascular
problem makes you more likely to die, and
a 2011 Finnish finding that living on your
own increases your risk of mortality from
an alcohol-related death. Being around
others, it seems, helps us ensure that we
take better care of ourselves—so if you’re
planning on joining the many who have
opted to live solo, you’re best off making
sure you maintain frequent contact with
friends and family.

Nairaland General › Envy Vs Jealousy by Ina2k(op): 4:17pm On Nov 24, 2013

It's no fun to feel envy or jealousy because
both make you feel inadequate. Envy is
when you want what someone else has, but
jealousy is when you're worried someone's
trying to take what you have. If you want
your neighbor's new convertible, you feel
envy. If she takes your husband for a ride,
you feel jealousy.
Envy requires two parties, like you and that
neighbor, when you want her new car and
you wish you were the one riding around
with the top down. You feel envy when you
want something someone else has:
Tall and lean, he is wearing blue jeans,
tennis shoes, a dark blazer and red tie with
hair every sports anchor would envy.
(Chicago Tribune)
"There be many, Judith," said he, "who
might envy you your health and good
spirits." (William Black)
Jealousy requires three parties, like you,
your neighbor, and your husband, when not
only do you wish you had that cool car, but
you're worried your husband is going to
ride off into the sunset in it without you.
Jealousy is exciting because it shows up in
lovers' triangles and Shakespeare's plays:
In Shakespeare, Othello is doomed by
jealousy, Lear by pride. (Slate)
The peasant, mad with jealousy, ended by
driving an awl into his chest. (Fyodor
Dostoyevsky)
Professional jealousy, tortured artist blues,
Spinal Tap-ish excess and other clichés
abound, but nobody seems to notice. (The
Guardian)
You can feel envy about something you
don't have but want, but you feel jealousy
over something you already have but are
afraid of losing, like that husband who's
always hanging out next door.

Sports › Odemwingie, Taiwo, Uche Set For Eagles Recall by Ina2k(op): 7:57am On Nov 22, 2013

Nigeria head coach, Stephen Keshi has revealed that players like Peter Odemwingie, Taye Taiwo and Ikechukwu Uche could be handed shock recalls to the national team ahead of the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.

Keshi stunned many by leaving out experienced talent from his 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and received a backlash from many who felt he was treading on thin ice.

He was eventually justified in his selections as Nigerian romped to a third Afcon success with a relatively inexperienced squad.

The “Big Boss” as Keshi is fondly called has now revealed that he has not shut the door completely on any individual as he begins preparations for the World Cup.

“Contrary to what some people think, I have not shut the door on players like Osaze (Peter Odemwingie), Ike Uche and even Taiye Taiwo. They are Nigerians and are eligible to play for the Super Eagles at all times,” Keshi exclusively told supersport.com.

The gaffer however stated that they will only get a look in if they “prove themselves.”

“When I was in the national team, nobody had an automatic shirt. I was the captain but I did not play in all the games.

“Everyday in training, it was war. We fought and sweated to show the coaches that we were worthy of the shirt. That is the norm now as well,” he said.

Otigba, Ameobi and uncapped talent

Keshi is casting his net far afield and will not mind blooding several uncapped players as he looks to build a squad that will punch above their weight in Brazil.

Names like Kenneth “Kenny” Otigba and Sammy Ameobi readily prop up following their scintillating displays for Heerenveen and Newcastle United respectively.

Keshi however insists players of such ilk will only be allowed to sneak in if they prove they are better than the ones currently in the squad.

“To be honest, I don’t know much about Otigba but we have a good scouting network that will enable me look at all players eligible to play for Nigeria.

“Everyone who is eligible to play for Nigeria has a chance and I am being totally honest here.

“I will assess their performances at their different clubs and we will take a decision but if these players are not better than those that I already have in the team, then they don’t have any chance.

“However, if they show that they are better and can make the team stronger, why not?

“It does not matter if they have played for the Super Eagles previously or not.

“I recall that before the 1994 Fifa World Cup, players like Michael Emenalo and Chidi Nwanu did not kick a ball in (the qualifying tournament.)

“They also did not play at the Nations Cup earlier that year but when they showed the coaches what they could do, they came in.

“I have not selected my team for the World Cup. No one has a guaranteed shirt and we will keep working until we know the 23 players that will go to Brazil,” he said.

Keshi who won 64 caps and scored nine goals for Nigeria as a player, replaced Samson Siasia as Super Eagles coach in 2011 and has yet to lose a competitive game to African opposition.
