My Scribles

Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak... The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely. The second candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely. Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer." "People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." And waiting no longer, Love went out completely. Suddenly... A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning. The child began to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end." Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles.

In fact, sex can benefit your health in many ways. Here are seven reasons to give and get a little love – not just this special day, but any time. Good for the heart Sex is good for your heart. Like any physical exertion, sex is a form of cardio-exercise, which gets your heart pumping faster and helps it stay in shape. What's more, studies have shown that men who have sex two or more times per week cut their risk of a fatal heart attack by half. Helps you lose weight Like any form of exercise, sex helps you lose weight. Having sex for 30 minutes can burn off 85 calories. To put that in perspective: 15 minutes on the treadmill could burn up to 200 calories; 42 of these half-hour sessions, then, could shave a pound off your weight. Boosts your immune system While it's possible to contract a wide range of diseases, both from sex and from simple contact with others, safe sex between healthy partners can make you better equipped to fight illness. Those who have sex once or twice a w

Keeping children safe is the main concern of every parent. Image Credit: Supplied Dubai: The recent alleged sexual assault of a four-year-old girl by her school bus driver and two conductors has raised fear among parents, along with many questions about how to protect a small child against a similar attack. Keeping children safe is the main concern of every parent, and according to Dr Raymond H. Hamden, Clinical and Forensic Psychologist at Human Relations Institute, there are eight points to keeping your child safe, and the first is educating them about sex. "Even at a very young age like two or three, you can tell them when you wash them that only mom and dad can wash you, but no one else," Dr Hamden said. Secondly, talk to your child about sexual matters. Tell them to beware people who may try to touch them, he said. The third point is sex education in the school system, which must be taught by a physical education or science teacher along with parents and clergy, who shou

A new study appearing in theJournal of Epidemiology and Community Health has found that infants with a higher intake of processed foods during the first three years of their lives had lower IQs. More surprising is the discovery that the cognitive effects relating to these eating habits in early childhood appear to persist into later life - despite any subsequent improvements to dietary intake. The study uses data from theAvon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), which tracks long term health and wellbeing of around 14,000 children born in 1991 and 1992. In the study, three dietary patterns were identified: "processed" high in fats and sugar intake; "traditional" high in meat and vegetable intake; and "health conscious" high in salad, fruit and vegetables, rice and pasta. IQ was measured using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children when they were 8.5 years old. The results showed that a predominantly processed food diet at the age of 3

Corporate Lesson A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he saw a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back again. So, he goes near the dog and noticed that dog has a note in his mouth. He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please". The dog has money in his mouth, as well. The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to close the shop and follow the dog. So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street and comes to a level crossing, then dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button and waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way. The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking
