The Dance of Life!

Dance has been described as a non verbal communication. It is a body language that expresses itself without having said anything. Belle dance, break dance, hip hop or ballroom dance whatever the form all are a way of expressing different emotions and at the same time a good source of entertainment. Dance is an excellent way of conveying your feelings as well as letting out all the emotions buried inside you. It is a good exercise for the body. It keeps your body flexible and fit. Dance is good both for the body and the brain. So why not dance when it is advantageous.

Couples should always indulge into some kind of dance as it is important for them. Dancing for couples is a first-class way to be together, enjoy each others company and at the same time a good technique for exercising. In this busy world couples hardly find time to enjoy each others company especially when it is no more new and fresh. As the time passes by and a relationship grows old the responsibilities grow and couples very comfortable in the company of each other. They let things go as they are, prefer the normal routine of going to work, returning home, eating and going off to sleep with little or no other activity. This kind of routine makes a relationship dreary and desolate since there is no excitement. Dancing is a good option to make a relationship enjoyable.

How to dance when you really don’t know it? Well not a big deal. You do not have to be a perfect dancer. Get some dance videos and practice those steps. Try following the easier steps and once you get them you won’t need the videos. This is because you get into the rhythm and your body becomes flexible and as such you are able to get your own dance steps. If you want to be a perfect dancer then you could join a dance school and become a perfect dancer. If you are not keen in becoming a perfect dancer you can still go for it to get excitement and entertainment in your life. You do not have to go to a dance club as you can create your own dance hall in your house. You do not need much space. Just shift some of the furniture in a corner and make sufficient space to dance. Dancing shoes are not required you can dance bare footed as it is your own house. Then put on some dance music and dance together. Dance in whichever form you feel like. If you feel romantic put on some light music and do the ball dance and if you loaded with to much of energy then go for some bubbly number and dance to the notes.

Dancing in such a manner makes your life thrilling and lively. You do not feel like one of those dull couples who feel that there is no charm left in their married life and are just dragging their life.

Causes of the Great Depression

The Great Depression lasted from 1929 to 1933 and was the most severe economic depression the world had ever experienced. It began with the stock market crash in the USA on 24 October 1929, or Black Thursday as it became known, and rapidly spread around the world.

The Great Depression must be seen in perspective. First of all, although it started in the USA, the entire world suffered and one can even call it the Great World Depression. Secondly, it was not the first depression. Especially the USA went through some nasty depressions. Ironically, it is especially the previous depressions, or the euphoria the Government had with it and the obsession it developed to ensure that the USA would not go through a depression again, that paved the way for the Great Depression.

The Government went so far as to establish a special Government Agency which sole purpose was to prevent any future depressions and their associated problems, such as bank panics. This agency was the Federal Reserve Board and it was to be the loaner of last resorts for banks in order to prevent collapses as had happened during earlier depressions. The Federal Reserve Board was created in 1913. 

One must be open minded; the establishing of the Federal Reserve Board was a genuine effort from the Government to do something positive and it did do a good job. It was also the big banks who wanted government protection and bailouts and were more than willing to endure a little government regulation in return.  The Federal Reserve Board was staffed with people from the banking and financial industry and it was a watchdog over the same industry. Throughout the years preceding the Stock Market crash, the Federal Reserve Board did just that and a good job for that matter.  Unfortunately, the Federal Reserve Board started off on the wrong foot by setting interest rates below market and low reserve requirements which favoured the big banks.  Initially it did have the right results and the economy started to bloom again. The money supply actual increased by about 60% during this time.  The phrase "buying on margin" entered the American vocabulary at this time as more and more Americans over-extended themselves to take advantage of the soaring stock market.

Rapidly the economy started to bloom and everyone shared in the superficial wealth created by the measures of the Federal Reserve Board. They even talked about the “roaring twenties”. The "roaring twenties" was an era when the economy prospered tremendously. The USA’s total realized income rose from $74.3 billion in 1923 to $89 billion in 1929. Unfortunately, it was also the start of the growing of the gap between rich and poor where the rich got richer and poor got poorer.

A major reason for this large and growing gap between the rich and the poor people was the increased manufacturing output throughout this period. From 1923-1929 the average output per worker increased 32% in manufacturing. During that same period of time average wages for manufacturing jobs increased only 8%. As production costs fell quickly, wages rose slowly, and prices remained constant, the bulk benefit of the increased productivity went into corporate profits. In fact, from 1923-1929 corporate profits rose 62% and dividends rose 65%.

The Federal Government also contributed to the growing gap between the rich and poor. Government clearly favoured business, and as a result the wealthy who invested in these businesses just got richer and richer.
May be all could have been safe for the economy was it not for another factor namely the First World War. The global economy was in trouble at the time as a result of the expenses caused by the First World War. It must be borne in mind that the USA was not directly involved in the War and therefore there was gap between him and his allies. They did not realise the economic problems his allies had.  Meanwhile, the USA’s economy was prospering and production capabilities were at an all-time high, but there was no corresponding demand for the products manufactured – the rest of the world could not afford the luxury of importing goods. This forced production, jobs and international trade to shrink.


Big business in the USA started to panic followed by the Federal Reserve Board. It was in 1929 that the Federal Reserve Board realized that it could not sustain its current policy.  When it started to raise interest rates, the wheels got off the cart and it heralded in the Great Depression.  The Great Depression began in October 1929, when the stock market in the United States dropped rapidly. Thousands of investors lost large sums of money and many were wiped out, lost everything. The Great Depression was the worst economic slump ever in U.S. history, and one which spread to virtually the entire industrialized world. The depression lasted for about a decade

Unfortunately, another black period in the history of mankind had to happen to set everything in motion for the Great Depression to end. It was the beginning of the Second World War as all nations increased their production of war materials. This increased production, provided jobs and put large amounts of money back into circulation. Gradually the economy of the world picked up and slowly the world emerged from greatest depression ever.

Stress Busters

It seems we never have enough time to get everything done. You run all day and just when you think you can relax something else comes up. Here are a few ways to ease your everyday stress that only take a few minutes, but will make your life a little easier.

1.) Sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes and breathe deeply in through your nose filling your chest with air. Breathe out slowly through your mouth releasing the problems of the day. Think only about the things that make you happy. Do this for 5 minutes.

2.) Sit in a comfortable position. Lean your head against the back of a chair. Close eyes, take a deep breath and place each thumb at a point on the base of the skull near each ear. Move thumbs downward from ears to shoulder tops; press and hold tense spots as you go.

Then rub back of neck from base of skull downward, pressing and holding tense spots. Cross one arm over chest and press muscles along top of opposite shoulder; hold until tension is released. Repeat with other arm. Drop arms to sides, and breath, imagining your skull is heavy as a bowling ball. Relax completely.

3.) Take a Bubble Bath. Light scented candles all around you, and turn off the lights listen to classical music. Imagine you’re self on a quiet Tropical Island. See yourself-relaxing on a great lounge chair while servants take care of your every need.

4.) Get a good night's sleep: Don't drink coffee or eat too late as it makes it difficult to sleep. Try listening to soothing music as you drift off to sleep. Don't think about what you need to do the next day.

One thing that works well for me is counting backwards from 600 to 0 by 4's i.e.; 600, 596, 592, 588, 584; this makes it very difficult to think of other things that keep you awake.

5.) Add a few drops of calming aromas to Canola or Sunflower oil, smooth on temples or earlobes.

6.) Exercise; It increase blood flow, bringing more oxygen to your brain and unkinks tight muscles.

7.) To ease kinks out of shoulders and upper body, while sitting at your desk, alternate each arm, reaching towards the ceiling. Do this for 5 minutes.

8.) Light scented candles around the room turn off lights lie on your back and reach arms and legs toward ceiling. Rotate, starting with each arm and then each leg. Do this for 10 minutes.

9.) Rotate your head stretching as far as you can, start to your right shoulder, the to the back as if looking at the ceiling, then to left shoulder then to front, putting chin to chest. Do for a few minutes then rotate starting with left shoulder.

10.) Close your eyes lift both arms over your head until your hands touch. Slowly lower your arms down to your sides up and down as if in a flying motion. Imagine you are a bird flying over the ocean. Let your imagination soar.

The Top Five Weird Wills of The World

Ensure You Have a Will

Spanish prostitutes ordered to wear reflective vests

Prostitutes working on the street outside a town northern Spain have been ordered to wear reflective vests to make them visible to passing traffic and reduce the risk of accidents.

Women touting for customers on a rural highway outside Els Alamus near Lleida in Catalonia have been told to don the yellow fluorescent bibs or pay fines of 40 euros (£36) under road traffic laws.

Police claim the sex workers on the LL-11 road are not being specifically targeted because of what they do but because they posed a danger to drivers.

The prostitutes are in breach of 2004 law which states pedestrians on major highways and hard shoulders must wear the high visibility garments.

A Sexy Story

Also Known As:  The Butler did It!

A wealthy couple had plans to go to an evening ball.

So they advised their butler that they were giving him the have evening off to do as he pleased since they would be out until quite late.

The couple went to a ball and dinner. After an hour a half, the wife told her husband that she was horrible bored and that she preferred to go home and finish some work for the next day.

The husband responded that he had to stay for a few more hours to meet some very important people who were his new business partners.

So the wife went home alone and found the butler spread out on the couch watching TV.

She slowly moved towards him and sat down very seductively.

She then told him to come closer. Then even closer.

She moved forward and whispered in his ear

"Take off my dress...”

"Now take off my bra."

"Next remove my shoes and stockings."

"Now remove my garter belt and panties"

She then looked deep into his eyes and in a sharp voice shouted

"The next time I catch you wearing my clothes, you're fired".

Tips for dealing with insect stings

Remove the sting with tweezers or scrape across the skin with a knife or razor blade. Do not try to squeeze or press down against the poison bag, which will expel more venom into the body. Wash the area with soap and cold water, and then cover the wound with sterile gauze and adhesive tape.

If there is swelling, apply ice or a cold compress. Keep the stung area elevated above the heart, using a sling for a hand or forearm or a pillow for a foot or leg. Some redness and swelling around the sling is normal and should begin to diminish within a few days.

Bee or wasp stings become dangerous when the victim has an allergic reaction. The symptoms of such a reaction are headache, weakness, general itching, hives, wheezing, and difficulty in breathing or loss of consciousness. If any of these develop, or if the victim has had a serious reaction in the past, call for an ambulance immediately or get the victim to a hospital.

Who’s Yo Daddy?

The following are all replies that Detroit women have written on Child Support Agency forms in the section for listing "father's details;" or to put it another way... Who's Yo Daddy? These are genuine excerpts from the forms. Be sure to check out #11. It takes 1st prize and #3 is runner up.

1. Regarding the identity of the father of my twins, Makeeshia was fathered by Maclearndon McKinley. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of Marlinda, but I believe that she was conceived on the same night.

2. I am unsure, as to the identity of the father of my child as I was being sick out of a window when taken unexpectedly from behind. I can provide you with a list of names of men that I think were at the party if this helps.

3. I do not know the name of the father of my little girl. She was conceived at a party at 3600 East Grand Boulevard where I had sex with a man I met that night. I do remember that the sex was so good that I fainted. If you do manage to track down the father, can you please send me his phone number? Thanks.

4. I don't know the identity of the father of my daughter. He drives a BMW that now has a hole made by my stiletto in one of the door panels. Perhaps you can contact BMW service stations in this area and see if he's had it replaced.

5. I have never had sex with a man. I am still a Virginian. I am awaiting a letter from the Pope confirming that my son's conception was ejaculate and that he is the Saver risen again.

6. I cannot tell you the name of Alleshia’s dad as he informs me that to do so would blow his cover and that would have cataclysmic implications for the economy. I am torn between doing right by you and right by the country. Please advise.

7. I do not know who the father of my child was as they all look the same to me.

8. Tyrone Hairston is the father of child A. If you do catch up with him, can you ask him what he did with my AC/DC CDs? Child B who was also born at the same time... well, I don't have clue.

9. From the dates it seems that my daughter was conceived at Disney World; maybe it really is the Magic Kingdom.

10. So much about that night is a blur. The only thing that I remember for sure is Delia Smith did a program about eggs earlier in the evening. If I had stayed in and watched more TV rather than going to the party at 8956 Miller Ave, mine might have remained unfertilized.

11. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of my baby, after all, like when you eat a can of beans you can't be sure which one made you fart.
