Happiness and economic well-being joshua_w (100) 3 hours ago Hmm, been a long time so can't think of a good topic too start with. Well, the economy would be a good one perhaps since everyone is predicting a gloomy year ahead with talks of recession and all. Read Yes, the effects of the financial crisis could be felt as far away as here where i lived. Business where i worked had dropped sharply perhaps because of the uncertainty and lower demand expectation. Everyone is expecting a slower growth or even worse, no-growth or stagnation. Year-end bonus has been withdrawn and every employees are not too happy about it. Lay-offs are certain to happen for those working in large corporations and multinationals here. It's all looking very gloomy actually. A sign of failure of the western economic system or just a cyclical run of the economy as described by Keynesian economics? But is the gloom actually media generated or is it real? The important question-is everyone feeling unhappy because of the coming or 'already-here' recession? Some says the poor are happier if only because they don't have as many physical 'wants' as those who are rich. Physical and material wealth does make us hungry for more and this does not really makes one happy, they argued. Natives in most countries "measure wealth in terms of how many friends one has". As long as their basic needs are satisfied, they're quite happy living in their world. Of course no one would be happy if one were suffering in situations of extreme poverty. Then there is the point that humans measure happiness in relation to "social comparison or relative standing". It means that if everyone around us is in an equally 'unhappy' state, then we would still feel generally quite happy. So that even though the news around us are all bad, we're still happy in our daily lives; we still have our family, our wives still look pretty to us, our pets still look cute to us, and so on. Perhaps the media and governments are trying to make us feel unhappy just so we can spend/consume more to revive the economy, and if you proclaim yourself to be happy, then everyone would say you're being irrational or ridiculous in times like this. On another note, if the recession affects our abilities to pay our bills and mortgages then we will become very unhappy. For those who had lost a job or in need of medical attention, then it is an unfortunate situation. For those who have children, there's also their education to think about not to mention healthcare. There's a truth that in times of economic uncertainty, most of the time the government can't really help its citizens. So, the best action is to prepare yourself for any eventuality by saving for an emergency fund when times are good. Maybe the full impact of the recession has not hit us yet. Or maybe it won't be as bad as all the economists and bankers said it is. Or maybe we can use these time to get to know more people and become friends with them. That could only be a good thing right?

Its reession time...

[b][i]Hey mylotters...[/i][/b]The world is going through a recession at this point of time.. People have started saving money rather than spending it.. Everybody is trying something or the other cost-effective measure to lead a normal life, like limiting the frequency of eating outside... So, tell me, in these troubled times, how often do you eat outside?? And have you cut down on eating outside, or is it still the same??As far as I am concerned, I think for me eating outside has reduced to some extent.. I have stopped munching useless things which do no good to the body but are highly expensive.. I even prefer taking home cooked food to my workplace so as to minimize the chances of spending outside...

Sea Wave

I snapped this shot one morning last month, while talking a walk along the seashore. The sea was rough and it was a cold windy day, but yet I enjoyed seeing the waves roling towards the blue sea. Looking at the photo, one can hardly measure the size of the wave, but believe me it was about 20 feet tall, strong and yet looking soft. I love the blueish tones int he sea and the white curved tips of the wave. This photo can be used as a model for painting. Thank you for viewing

pelvic

In humans, biiliac width is an anatomical term referring to the widest measure of the pelvis between the outer edges of the upper iliac bones. Biiliac width has the following common synonyms: pelvic bone width, biiliac breadth, intercristal breadth/width, bi-iliac breadth/width and biiliocristal breadth/width. In the average adult female, it measures 28 cm (11 in). It is best measured by anthropometric calipers (an anthropometer designed for such measurement is called a pelvimeter). Attempting to measure biiliac width with a tape measure along a curved surface is inaccurate. The biiliac width measure is helpful in obstetrics because a pelvis that is significantly too small or too large can have obstetrical complications. For example, a large baby and/or a small pelvis often lead to a caesarean section. It is also used by anthropologists to estimate body mass.

Love Mother

That Wonderful Mother of Mine The moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of that wonderful mother of mine. The birds never sing but a message they bring Of that wonderful mother of mine. Just to bring back the time, that was so sweet to me, Just to bring back the days, when I sat on her knee............. I pray every night to our Father above, For that wonderful mother of mine. I ask Him to keep her as long as He can That -- wonderful mother of mine. There are treasures on earth, that made life seem worthwhile, But there's none can compare to my mother's smile.......... You are a wonderful mother, dear old Mother of mine. You'll hold a spot down deep in my heart, 'Till the stars no longer shine. Your soul shall live on forever, On through the fields of time. For there'll never be another to me, Each melodious measure, Oft the teardrops flowing, Oft they flow from my memory's treasure.............
