• Cuddling helps pair-bonding

    08 Apr 2014 | Comments (undefined)

    The act of cuddling releases a hormone called oxytocin, sometimes called the “cuddling hormone.” Oxytocin is responsible for provoking what scientists refer to as “pair bonding,” which means it makes the cuddling couple feel closer and more intimate. This helps to create a bond between a man and a woman. In evolutionary terms, a woman wants to create this pair bond in order to get the man to commit to her and their offspring. Even if your woman isn’t trying to marry you and start bearing your babies, she is likely still drawn to create an emotional bond with you and this kind of physical intimacy is a good way to do it. Cuddling also feels pretty damn good when it’s done right, so anot

  • Pain lead to emotional numbness-you no longer feel anything

    08 Apr 2014 | Comments (undefined)

    Emotional numbness is the inability to feel much of anything. Things that used to make us feel happy or elicit a smile produce a weak response or nothing. Likewise things that should provoke us to anger or even tears result in an apathetic response. It is a lack of emotion where there once was emotion. One of the causes can definitely be depression. I feel that this symptom results from feeling overwhelmed and overburdened by life's challenges to the point where you just can't feel anymore. You are too tired and weary to emote. It can also be a protection against feeling too much as in after a trauma. It can be the process of shock where we simply cannot take in the emotional real

  • WHOLPHIN - Hybrid of Whale and Dolphin

    Wholphin, sometimes written wolphin, is the name given to a hybrid marine mammal born by crossing a dolphin and a false killer whale, the latter of which is actually a species of dolphin, despite its name. The only verifiable examples of this are the wholphins born at Sea Life Park in Oahu, Hawaii. One is an individual named Kekaimalu, born in 1985, that is a cross between a bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, and a false killer whale, Pseudorca crassidens. Kekaimalu, a female, was born at the sea park where her mother, Punahele, a dolphin, and Tanui Hahai, a false killer whale, shared the same pool. Kekeimalu has an appearance that is intermediate between her two parents. She is da

    When Karen Suffern, a single mom from Rocky Mount, N.C., asked her 8-year-old twins to write a letter to Santa with their Christmas wishes over the weekend, she expected to see toys, books and clothes on the list. Instead, Suffern was shocked to see a heartfelt request from her son, Ryan, that Santa Claus step in and put an end to the bullying suffered by his twin sister, Amber. “Dear Santa … I wanted a [remote control] car and helicopter, but I don’t want that any mor.

    What you can do to increase positive emotions and take advantage of the “broaden and build” theory in your life? Well, anything that sparks feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick. You probably know what things work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person. Maybe it’s carving tiny wooden lawn gnomes.P That said, here are three  steps for you to consider. 1. Meditation: Recent research by Fredrickson and her colleagues has revealed that people who meditate daily display more positive emotions that those who do not. As expected, people who meditated also built valuable long–term skills. For example, three months after

Biggest dust storm in Phoenix

Phoenix Dust Storm a "100-Year Event"

The biggest dust storm in living memory rolls into Phoenix on July 5, 2011, reducing visibility to zero.
 

 

Flash in a Haboob


A flash of lightning accentuates a thick blanket of dust over Gilbert, Arizona, on Thursday—the third major dust storm to hit the Phoenix metropolitan area (map) since early July. 

The billowing cloud of dust was about a half mile (0.8 kilometer) high and 50 to 55 miles (80 to 88 kilometers) wide. The storm rolled across Arizona's Pinal County last night with winds reaching 30 to 40 miles (48 to 64 kilometers) an hour, the Arizona Republic reported.
Dust storms are relatively common between June and September in parts of the U.S. Southwest. Severe dust storms are also called haboobs—Arabic for "violent wind"—since they often appear in northern Africa and the Middle East.

 

Hovering Dust


Huge dust storm, or haboob, yellows the skies over Queen Creek, Arizona.
The giant walls of dust form in conjunction with thunderstorms. Warm air flowing over the storm clouds becomes cooler and heavier as it interacts with moisture. The heavier air is forced downward and then gets pushed by the front of the thunderstorm cell, dragging dust and debris along with it.
In the recent Arizona storm, the fine dust particles were blown off agricultural fields as storms moved across the region.

 

Dusty Roads


Traffic rolls through an intersection in Phoenix, Arizona, as a dust storm looms on August 18.
According to the Arizona Republic, the Pinal County sheriff's office received several reports of power poles falling on moving vehicles—including a school bus—during the storm, although no major injuries were reported.

 

Deep in Dust


A pedestrian dashes across Central Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona, during the August 18 dust storm.
Although the storm dissipated Thursday night, it left hundreds of residents without power and coated the region in a fine layer of dust that now needs to be swept away.
Dust from such storms "will end up in your pool, on your car, it will coat your windows. It's a sediment deposit that covers everything," Valerie Meyers, of the National Weather Service in Phoenix, told the Los Angeles Times
