POPSAre You the Picture of Health?
Everything You Know About Happiness is Wrong.....Even in trying times, you have more control over your own happiness than you think. By Siri Carpenter What makes us happy The year 2009 was one that few of us will soon forget. But the tough times we’ve been through illuminate the human ability to weather challenges that might at first seem overwhelming. As so many millions have painfully learned, we can’t fully control our circumstances. Surprisingly often, though, we can control their effects on our well-being. Experts attribute about 50% of a person’s happiness to genetic endowments and another 10% to circumstances"where we live, how much money we make, how healthy we are. That leaves 40% of our happiness in our control. Fortunately, science has much to say about how we can make the most of that 40%. Even small improvements in mood can have cascading effects. The trick is to pay attention to what strategies work best for you. Try these for starters. http://bit.ly/7eZ4IR

POPSBoks crumble 21-6 to Aussie Machine The Springboks showed their hand three minutes in when Steyn looked to draw level with a drop goal, but his rare miss saw the Australians cling to their slender advantage. In contrast, the Wallabies went in search of the try-line and looked to have scored when livewire scrum-half Genia caught the visitors napping off a free-kick, only to be denied by a desperate goal-line tackle from Fourie du Preez. The hosts were again denied on the line in the 61st minute when Jaque Fourie forced Giteau into touch. SHOOT: Grim.

POPSGerald Celente Predicts Obamageddon in 2012 In his latest interview with the Fox News Happy Hour , Gerald Celente appeared more gloomy than ever about the future of the United states of America, he predicted a series of events one gloomier than the next ranging from farmer riots to boss napping to New york City becoming like Mexico City...Gerald Celente said : What’s happening under the Obama administration is unprecedented. With these rescue schemes, bailout plans, the takeover of major corporations, on and on and on. So yes, it has been going on a long time but is accelerating now at a level that makes our country, that used to be the empire of entrepreneurial opportunity, now just a country to save the too-big-to-fails. It’s ending up bankrupting the country. The government is now in hock $546,000 per household. You’re never going to be able to pay it off in obligations. http://www.trendsresearch.com/

POPS What Does Talking in Your Sleep Mean? keep chit-chatting after they go to bed. The utterances can take place occasionally or every night. A 2004 poll showed that more than 1 in 10 young children converse in their sleep more than a few nights a week. Girls talk in their sleep as much as boys. And experts think that sleep talking may run in families. What are the symptoms of talking in your sleep? It's hard to tell if you've been talking in your own sleep. Usually, people will tell you they've heard you shout out during the night or while you were napping. Or maybe someone might complain that your sleep talking is keeping him or her up all night. What causes sleep talking? Sleep talking usually occurs by itself and is most often harmless. However, in some cases, it might be a sign of a more serious sleep disorder or health condition. REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and sleep terrors are two types of sleep disorders that cause some people to shout during sleep.

POPS"6 Minutes to More Memory!" (psssst mini-nap) Here's how the scientists at the University of Düsseldorf figured it out: First, they asked university students to memorize a list of 30 words. Afterwards, the participants were either allowed to play a video game or to take a nap in a quiet room. The napping times were varied, though. Some students were allowed to take a 50-minute nap, whereas others were took 35-minute and 6-minute naps. When researchers compared the groups, they found that nap takers consistently remembered more words. On average, those who napped for six minutes remembered one word more than the video game players, while people taking the longer naps remembered two words more. The fascinating finding here--and the reasons for how six minutes can be so meaningful--is that most of the memory improvement is linked to changes in the brain that happen right when you start to doze off.

POPSPower napping can improve your performance! You can aquire the skill& get better at it if you find somewhere secure to rest, free from distractions phones people ect.Darken the area, use a blanket, set alarm, avoid a heavy meal. Kids can do it too at same time if you have them....It doesn't have to be every day, but try power napping when your physical or mental energy is running low. Remember you are not being lazy but making yourself more productive. If you do happen to oversleep during your power nap and you wake up feeling groggy, some sort of physical activity, noise or a shower can quickly reduce the grogginess. Or even good old caffeine, if needed.

POPSDebt Watchdogs:Tamed or caught napping? Money talks especially when given under the table. But no prove of such exists. Does that mean it's not true or only that there is no proof? So ask yourself why would analysts change their minds?
