I heard google will release a programming language called noop?? Did you hear this from news?

I can't do that and a notice is coming saying: Any idea??

Well I guess for two or three days, if you have a normal site, not a warez or something illegal.

what does it mean to be satisfied with one's job or occupation? In general sense job satisfaction is the positive feeling that results from an appraisal of one's work(Locke,1976). In research specific aspects such as satisfaction with working conditions, pay and co-workers are considered. In practice, American workers actually have a multideimensional conceptualization of job satisfaction. Due to the complex nature of the job satisfaction in some ways(e.g acievement and power) and not in others(e.g pay and working conditions). Factors that make job satisfying at one time may become less important the longer one is in an occupation or as new concerns are raised in society. For example, concern over health and safety problems played a much more important role in job satisfaction in the late 1970s than it did a decade earlier. Additionally, occupational values change over time;military personnel and politicians have lost some of the prestige that they once had, while enviromentally oriented jobs have increased in social health. Given that the structural elements of a job(e.g working conditions) affect satisfaction, an important question is whether the age of the worker is also related to his or her job satisfaction. Almost all of the studies that have investigated the realtionship between overall job satisfaction and age have found a low to moderate increase with increasing age. However there are several important qualifications that need to be made in relation to this finding. First the relationship between worker age and job satisfaction is complex. Satisfaction does not increase in all areas with age. It appears that older workers are more satisfied with the intrinsic personal aspects of their jobs than they are with the extrinsic aspects, such as pay.Second increase in job satisfaction may not be due to age alone but, rather to the degree to which there is a good fit between the worker and the job. From this perspective it is not surprising that increasing age should be related to increased job satisfaction; older workers have simply had more time to find a job that they like or may have simply resigned themselves to the fact that things are unlikely to improve, resulting in a better congruence between worker desires and job attributes showed that the relationship between age and job satisfactionwas due mainly to congruence and having and having an appropriate sense of control over one's job. Older workers also may have revised their expectations over the years so to better reflect the actual state of affairs. Because expectations become more realistic and are therefore more likely to be fullfilled, job satisfaction increased over time.Third, work becomes less of a focus in men's lives as thet age and achieve occupational success. This process of disengagement from work can begin as early as the 30s for men who are not advancing rapidly in their occupations, but it comes somewhat later in men who achieve some degrees of success. Consequently, for many men it takes less to keep them satisfied due to lower work motivation.A fourth reason why job satisfaction increases with age may be that men discover different sources of satisfaction. As man stay in occupation longer, they begin to find satisfaction in different ways. For example, they derive pleasure from accomplishing tasks and from becoming independent in their work. Interesingly, lower level managers become more nurturant as time goes on, but the men at the top of the hierarchy become progressively more remote and detached and less sympathetic and helpful.Finally, there is a growing awareness that job satisfaction may be cyclical. That is, many show periodic fluctuations that are not related to age per se, but rather, to changes that people intentionally make in their occupations. The idea is that job satisfaction increase over time because poeple change jobs or responsibilities on a regular basis, thereby keeping their occupation interestinga nd challenging.

Everyone has some idea about what the terms health and illness mean, but researchers are not rally very clear or precise about these concepts-nor, for that matter, are medical specialists. Two large but overlapping questions dominate debate. The first concern whether health should be regarded as something more than the mere absence of illness. The second concern whether it is more useful to separate or combine the three main components of health,- the physiological, psychological, and social- which also represent three different levels of scientific analysis.The position that health is not merely the absence of ailments but consists of an overall condition of well being has gained widespread support in recent years. The definition adopted by the World Health Organisation in 1946 illustrates this by treating health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, thereby explictly denying that it is just the absence of physical disease or infirmity as well as combining the three components in the definition. A number of recent writters whose outlook toward health is charcterized by the term "holistic medicine" have adopted a parallel position. If as Feist and Brannon have pointed out, one takes seriously that the word health has its origin in the old High German word hale or whole, that in China and ancient Greece health was though of as being in balance with nature, and that a vital organismic task is to maintain a viable internal equilibrium even when it is disrupted by external demands and pathogens, the term holistic makes good sense, implictly combining physiological, pschylogical and social well-being.Antonovsky has argued forcelly that we must study health instead of disease and has offered what he calls a "salutogenic" model of health instead of a "pathogenic" one. Salutogenesis, he writes, is concerned with why people stay healthy, in contrast with pathogenesis, which is concerned with why people get sick. He maintains that people stay healthy in large measure because they develop a wholesome-no pun intended- sense of coherence, which is characterized by a pervasive, enduring feeling of confidence that the world is predictable and that there is a high propability that things will work out as well as can reasonably be expected. Whenever I reread this statement my querulous mind prompts the question, " What are reasonable expectation"?In light of constant war, murder, trachery, disease and death, I am concerned that health not be said to depend on self deception or illusion, because to have a sense of coherence seems to me to suggest that we should avoid recognizing and thinking about how bad things really are for much of the world(Lazarus, 1983). Many of us are offenede by the condition of the world, as I think we should be. Should health be some sort pf private ease and smugness, particularly for affluent educated and well functioning people, about their relatively comfortable lives. Certainly this is not what Antonovsky intended.

What a question? Though good question as sometimes people tent to forget washing teeth to have regular breathe and whiter and healthier free caries teeth. Here are my tips:1. Wash your teeth regularly, at leas twice a day and at least 2minutes in the morning and in the evening just before you go to sleep. Washing your teeth isdone lightly without giving to much force to the gingiva and teeth because this damages them. All teeth surfaces must be washed and a special rotary technique should be used to wash your teeth properly.2.Always try tio use dental floss, or the usage of dental floss is recommanded for persons who have very compact and compressed teeth thus enabling food particles to remain in the cervical(neck) area of the tooth and so giving bad breathe and resulting in approximal caries formation.3. Always use a mouth rinse which disinfects the mouth region, which is full of bacteria and helps your gingiva stay healthy.There are lots of other tips to maintain regular healthy mouth, but enough for today.I always insist on washing my teeth in the evening.

By the time you reach old age, the 21st century will be well along. Technology will have have made major advances that will make common place what is science fiction today. Our daily lives may be vastly different than they are right now. Life will undoubtly be more complicated You will probably have experienced lots of things in the long walk of life: marriage, children, career changes, relocation, personal developmen, physical and cognitive changes, and so on. You will know what adult development is like. For now though we must be content with gazing into a crystal ball. We know many things about adult development and aging to guide us, but there are many unknowns, too. Throughout life we have encountered predictions about the future and how older people may fare. Some of these predictions are positive; for example it is likely that more people will live to advance ages. Other forecasts are not so rosy; as more many people live to an old age, there will be more need, for long term care. These predicyion represent our best guess about how life can be like in 40 years and so, based on what we know and what is likely to happen if we continue the way we are going. The purpose here in these writing, is to pull together several crucial issues facing gerontologists as we grow through the 21-st century. This survey will not be exhaustive; rather we will focus on two things; points that have been singled out for special concern and areas where special where major advances may have a dramatic impact in our own development. Three issues have been identified as trouble spots for the future. The first is the need for better research, a problem that underlies all the others. Second we will examine the growing crisis in health care and health policy. Third, we will consider the need for creating productive roles for the elderly. Other issues concern areas of ongoing research that have the potential to revolutionize our own development course. Chief among these is the research on biological and physiological aspects of aging. Also important are discoveries that are being made in the cognitive domain that challenge age old stereotypes of aging. Identifying issues of concern Throughout this book we have seen that adult development and aging are complex processses that we are far from understanding.Because the number of older people is rising and because we need more and better information, three issues need to be adressed in the near future if we are to optimize our own development into this century. These are better research, health care, and productive roles. The need for better research We have considered various methods for conducting research on adult development and aging. Recall that of the major methods(cross sectional, longitudinal, time-lang, and sequnetial), longitudinal and sequent designs are the ones that tell us what we really want to know; whether a particular process or behaviour changes over time. Cross-sectional research identifies only differencies that are related to age; they may reflect true age changes or merely cohort differences. But the vast majority of research we have considered is cross sectional.Longitudinal and sequential work is confined mainly to topics in cognitive and personality development.Where does this leave us? The problem we are faced with is the possibility that much of what we know about adult development and aging may not reflect true age changes. Rather it may largely reflect cohort differences that are, in turn, a reflection of the changes that have occurred in society over this century. This may mean that differences in intellectual skills needed by each suceeding generation to survive and adapt in daily life. Cross sectional research will never solve the problem, since age and cohort are always confonded. Longitudinal research addresses the issues of age change, but it is severely limited because the results may not generalise across cohorts. Sequential research appears to be our best, and only way out. We must have reliable data on whether the differencies we observe between age groups are something innate in humans or whether they are due more to historical experiential factors. But improved research does not only mean using a different more sophisticated design. It also means cutting across disciplines and incorporating finding from one field to interpret data from another. A good example is the need for a blend between biological-physiological research and behavioral research. The search for the genetic link in Alzheimer's disease, for instance may also yield the key to why cognitive processes fail. Cognitive and neurological scientists working together will make substantially more progress than either group working alone.Likewise there may be a connection between changing levels of neurotransmitters and aspects of personality , mainly studied through psychopathology. The point is that we need better research not only to understand more about adult development and aging but also to know how better to commit resources for the future. As we will see, the most serious problem facing the United States concerning the elderly is health care; the lack of data collected over time from multiple cohorts seriously impairs our ability to plan for the future. Getting better information also mean changing our research priorities from a system that rewards quantity, which promotes more cross-sectional research, to one that rewards high quality which would promote more longitudinal and sequential research. Perhaps changing our priorities should be the place to start; otherwise, the future will arrive and we will not still have a data base. The Crisis in health care No problem in the United States will be more pressing in the coming years than the need for health care for older adults. The number of elderly will increase dramatically over the nect 30 to 40 years, most rapidly in the over 80 ages group. By the year 2000 the over 80 group constitute the largest single federal entitlement group, receiving neraly $83 billion in benefits. Health care costs for adults over age 65 will soar as the expanses for chronic and debilitating disease moment.Long-term care is already in crisis;beds are in short supply, and the cost of the average nursing home is beyond the means of many. Information is also scarce and the statistical tools for analyzing it ar often inadequate. The growing concern over health care for the elderly prompted the national research council(NRC) to study the situation and make several recommandations concerning future health care policy. These recommandations adress several areas of special concern as well as general issues. The NRC identifies the financing of medical care for the elderly as the most important health policy issue facing the UNited States in the 1990s. The cost of care, who will pay for it, and how it will be financed are issues that must be addressed. The changes in medicare and medicaid during the 1980s and the growing realistaion that private insurance will need to become more heavily involved had a significant impact on how health care is financed. We noted that many public and private insurance programs do not adequately cover the cost of quality long-term care. The trend toward increased reliance on individuals to either have their own health coverage or pay for care themselves has profound implications for people facing chronic debilitating conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. The NRC points to a lack of adequate data on the cost burden of such care, and it plays high priority in obtaining them. How health care is delivered is a second issue facing American society. The deminishing number of physicians in rural areas and in some specialities, the closing of inner-city hospitals and lack of transportation to health care centers present significant problems to older adults, especially minority groups and the frail. The growth of four-profit care and business oriented approaches to health care, not recognising age differencies in recovery time in illness, and increased competition also create barriers to quality health care for the elderly. The NRC identifies the need for and cost of long-term care as major factors in the overall financing picture. Moreover, many of the issues cited earlier apply to long-term care facilities.Many nursing homes do not take medicaid patients, for example, forcing many elderly poor to settle for lower quality care aor no care. We have no consistent programm of data collection to determine how many poeple are likely to need long-term care in teh future. Surveys also need to include facilities over than nursing homes, such as chronic disease hospitals, mental health facilities, rehabilitation centers, group homes, half way houses, and residential facilities. A smart investiment strategy according to the NRC would be to spent health care dollars on health promotion and disease prevention. These approach will emphasize keeping oneself in good health in order to avoid the more expensive treatment programs. Generally speaking, paying for check-ups and needed treatment early in the disease process is markedly less expensive than waiting until the disease has spread. Important intervention goals include promotion healthy activities and lifestyle among older adults. Whether the federal government should finance prevention and promotion is an important policy decision. Monitoring health care systems to ensure that people get the best care for their money and that care quality meets high standarts are also important. Simply solving the financing problem is only half the battle. The health care industry must be held accountable for its actions. Carrying out the NRCs recommandations will be expensive. By its own estimate, data collection alone may cost $15 billion to $20 billion or more.Such a high price make ones wonder whether the benefits will justify the expanse. The answer is a resounding yes.We have too little information now to adress the coming crisis in health care adequately. Policy makers need reliable data on which to base decisions about where to allocate federal dollars on order to do the most good for the most people. Not collecting adequate information and not making appropriate policy decisions would be far mor expensive, both in terms of dollars and in the quality of life of older people.. Our goals should be to enable the elderly to stay healthy and functionality independent as long as posssible, to provide access to quality health care of whatever type is appropriate and to provide care in the last restrictive and most cost-effetcive environment. The issue facing us is whether we are willing to assume the cost burden. If not the alternatives are not pleasant to think about. Productive Roles for older adults One of the key issues facing adults is the lack of formal social rules. Adults currently relinquish many of the major roles of adulthood by the time they reach old age. We have noted that older cohort experience major declines in societal significance as a result of these role looses. One of the most important of these rilinquished roles is work. As more people enter retirement over the coming decades, the issue of how to keep older adults connected with society will become more critical. In effort to draw up guidelines for addressing the need to develop productive roles for older adults the Comittee on Aging Society of the Institute of the Medicine and the National Research Council explored unpaid productive roles as one alternative. Unpaid productive roles are ones in which individuals make a significant contribution to society but are not given wages. The difference between paid and unpaid productive roles is sometimes arbitrary, and the work is often similar. Voluntarism has a long, distinguished tradition in the United States. From boy scout troop leaders to friendly vistors in hospitals and nursing homes, millions of people donate their time freely each year. The CAS argues that we should look to older adults as a major force of volunteers in social health services. It proposes that a systematic effort at providing unpaid productive roles for older adults would accomplish two things. First it would increase the availability of some social and health services that could be provided by nonprofessionals. For example existing programs, such as the Foster Grandparents could be enhanced, and new programs such as home visitation for the frail elderly could be started in many communities. Second unpaid products would give older people a formal way to maintain self esteem and identity after retirement without having to be employed. Unpaid productive roles would enable them to retain societal significance by using their accumulated years of experience and expertise. An important issue not directly addressed by the CAS is that volunteers often end up in clerical or social tasks, with little opportunity to have a direct say in the operation of the program. This is not an optimal situation, of course, since volunteers often come into the program with years of experience. This is especially true for older adults, who may view volunteer positions as low status roles that do not take advantage of their experienve. The CAS gives most attention to the prospect of older volunteers(providing, of course, that the status and menial nature of volunteer work are addressed). It points out that declining federal and state support of social service programs through the 1980s has led to a serious shortage of people to provide these such needed services. The growing number of older people could be a resource in easing the impact of personnel cuts that have been made as a result of fewer dollars. Estimates are that between 35% abd 40% of older adults already perform some sort of volunteer work, and projections are that this figure will increase. Thus the potential pool is relatively large. If a considered effort is to be made to provide older adults with formalized roles through unpaid product activities, several impediments to participation need to be addressed. older people are often not actively recruited by organizations or are not encouraged to remain. Individuals are often expected to cover expenses such as transportation, with little hope for tax deductions to help defray such costs. Unions are often reluctant to accept volunteers viewing them as a way to displace paid employees. Some older adults themselves view voluntarism as a form of exploitation, feeling tha volunteers considered second class citizens in organizations. The lack of adequate transportation for elderly people who do not drive means that people who might otherwise volunteer will not do so because thay cannot get there. How can we eliminate this barriers?First of all we need to explicitly recognize that older adults have a welath of experience and expertise that should not be allowed to go to waste. Kneiffer notes that this expertise of the elderly has been systematically and increasingly thrown away since the 1940s. We need to begin to draw on older adults as experts in much the same way as members of some nonindustrialized societies do. Second, we need to make possitive appeals to older adults to become volunteers and share their knowledge. Third, there need to be incentives for volunteers, including increased recognition. Fourth we need improved supervision, development, and management of volunteers programs.Providing services takes coordination of both goverment and business. Carefull planning needs to be done and programs have to be monitoredto ensure that they provide optimal service. Finally the impediments outlined earlier need to be removed. Most important transportation to and from the volunteer site should be provided to those who want to participate. Well-planned and well-managed volunteer programs could becomeextremely cost effective, both in terms of the servicesthey provide and the benefits to the volunteers. Social and health services that are currently unavailable could be provided at a fraction at the cost of identical programs using only a paid stuff. Volunteers benefit by feeling more useful in society and regaining aspects of identity lost after retirement. Volunteer programs are not a panacea, however. The CAS notes that volunteers programs should never be used as a way to cut corners or to eliminate qualified proffesionals. Such programns should be viewed as a way to supplement existing services, not as a replacement for them. Used appropriately, however voluntarism could be an effective way to reconnect older adults to society. What about you? How do you predict the future during this century, in a health, elderly point of view??

If everyone who smoked would stop today, that would do more to improve national health than any other single step. In the United States alone rougly 320,000 deaths each year are related to smoking, and 10 million more people have smoking related chronic diseases(DHHS, 1998). In a study od Scandinavians, Scholl estimated that one third of all deaths in 50 to 60 year old men could be avoided if all of the smokers had stopped at age 50. These are sobering statistics. Despite age related decreases in the rate of cigarette smoking the chronic disease caused by smoking often are at their worst in old age. As we will see, the problem with cigarette smoking is that the dangers are indirectly tied to age, in that it usually take years before the devastating effects become apparent to the smoker. The rates of smoking vary not only with age but also with sex and ethnic status. Adult men tend to smoke than adult women, although this difference is negligible in young adults. Among ethnic groups native Americans tent to smoke less than Whites, Blacks tent to smoke more and Hispanics and Asian Americans smoke about the same as Whites. These differences in smoking rates result in different rates of smoking related desease later in life; for example lung cancer is relatively rare among elderly native Americans. The Hazards of Cigarette Smoking The connection between cigarette smokinga nd lung cancer has been well documented for over 25 years by the U.S surgeon general. The U.S public health service notice that smokers has ten times as much lung cancer, 3 to 10 times as much cancer of the mouth and tongue, 3 to 18 times as much cancer of the larynx, and 7 to 10 times as much bladder cancer as nonsmokers. Smoking plays at least one inidrect role in over half of all cancer deaths, and it is directly repsonsible for 75% of all lung cancer. Nine out of every ten people who develop lung cancer are dead within 5 years. Clearly, smoking takes a frightening toll. But the prospect of the lung cancer or other related smoking disease has significantly lowered smoking rates only among men. For women the number of smokers, especially among adolescents and young adults, is higher than ever. The american cancer society estimates that at current smoking rates lung cancer will become the most common form of cancer among both men and woman. Lung cancer among older woman is the only major cause of death to show an increase during the 1980s. Cancer is not the only disease caused by smoking. Emphysema and heart disease are two others. The carbon monoxide and icotine inhaled in cigarette smoke foster the development of atherosclerosis and angina. Women who smoke and take contraceptive pills for at leats 5 years have an increased risk of heart attacks until menopause, even if they stop taking the pill. Smoking after the fourth month of pregnacy is linked with an increased risk of stillbirths, low birth weight and perinatal death. The Hazards of secondhand smoke The hazard of cigarette smoke do not stop with the smoker. Nonsmokers who breathe the smoke of others are also at higher risk for smoking related diseases, including chronic lung disease, lung cancer and heart disease. Additionally, pregnant women who breathe second hand smoke for as little as 2 hours a day at home or at work are more likely to give birth to infants who are below in average in weight. For these reasons many states and communities have passed stringent legislation severely restricting smoking. For example beggining in April 1988 smoking was not allowed at all on airplane flights of 2 hours or less within the United State. Quitting Smoking If you smoke and want to quit, how should you proceed? Many people sucessfully quit on their own, but others have found assistance through formal therapy. Whether a particular approach is effective depends on the individual; no one approach works with everyone. Most stop smoking programs are multimodal, in that that they combine a number of aspects from different therapeutic approaches. For example Lando(1977) used several behaviour modification techniques as well as "booster session" after therapy was over. lando reported a success rate of 76%, which is much higher than the typical 20% or 30% abstinence at 6 to 12 months follow-ups. It appears that the use of booster sessions is the key to difference. Otherwise the potential for relapse is quite high. Because 70% to 80% who try to quit eventually relapse, Marlatt and Gordon investigated the relapse process itself. They concluded that for most people who have successfully quit smoking one cigarette is enough to create a full blown relapse complete with feelings of utter failure. Marlatt and Gordon suggest that treatment programs take this into account and incorporate strategies to deal with these feelings caused by a slip. Although some poeple may find formal programs helpful in their battle to stop smoking, as many as 95% of those who quit do so on their own, according to a survey by the Surgeon General's Office. Schachter speculates that people tent to go to clinics only after they have tried to quit on their own and failed. Thus those who attend a clinic may not be a representative sample of smokers who try to quit on their own and failed; success rates of 20% to 30% reflect success with difficult cases. To date however no one has convincingly demosntrated that one method of quittings moking is more effective than another. It apperas that what may matter most is the person's commitment to quitting and being in an environment that fosters not smoking. if you smoke the statistics about the effects of smoking on health and availability of effective therapies may have convinced you to stop. You may wonder then, if your health would ever return to normal. It takes considerable time but eventually people who quit smoking return to a normal risk of disease. For example within ten to 15 years the risk of lung cancer has dropped to normal. In the long run it is certainly worth everyone's while to quit.

Love is one of those things that everybody can feel but nobody can define adequately or completely.(Test yourself:How would you explain what you mean when you look at someone and say, "I love you"?) Despite the difficulty in defining it, love underlies our most important relationships in life. The components of love There is a little consensus about the nature of love. What most researchers do is identify important concepts of love and then use them to create different categories of love. Sternberg(1986) conduced a series of detailed studies on people's conceptions of love and how love is manifested in different ways. Based on this research, Sternberg developed a theory of love based on three components (1) passion, an intense physiological desire for someone (2) intimacy, the feeling that one can share all one's thoughts and actions with another; and (3) commitment, the willingness to stay with a person through good and bad times. Based on different combinations of these three components, Sternberg identifies seven forms of love: 1.liking: intimacy but no commitment or passion 2.infatuation: passion but no commitment or intimacy 3.empty love: commitment but no passion or intimacy 4.romantic love: intimacy and passion but no commitment 5. fatuous love: commitment and passion but no intimacy 6.companionate love : commitment and intimacy but no passion 7. consummate love : commitment, intimacy and passion Ideally, a tru love realtionship such as marriage has all three components although the balance shifts as time passes. Love across Adulthood The different combinations of love that Sternberg identifies can be used to understand how relationships develop. Early in a relationship passion is usually high, but intimacy and commitment tent to be low. This results in infatuation, an intense physically based realtionship in which the two persons have little understanding of each other and a high risk of misunderstanding and jealousy. Interestingly this patterns seems to characterize all kinds of couples, married, unmarried , heterosexual, and homosexual. As the relationship continues, companionate love develops, a style characterized by greater intimacy and commitment but no passion. As Hatfield and Walster put it, "Passinate love is a fragile flower"-it wilts in time. Companionate is a sturdy evergreen; it thrives with contact." Strenberg compares infatuation to a drug addiction; in the beggining even a small touch is enough to drive each partner into ectasy. Gradually, though one needs more and more stimulation to get the same feeling. Lovers eventually get used to the pleasure of passion with the same person, and passion fades. The wild passion of youth gives way to the deeper, commited love of adulthood. Although the styles fo love appear to differ with age, some important aspects of love relationships appear to maintain their same relative importance over time. Reedy, Birren and Schaie examined six aspects of love relationships in 102 happily married couples: communication, sexual intimacy, respect, help and play behaviours, emotional security, and loyalty. The importance of some love's aspects in satysfying relationships differs somewhat as a function of age. Overall, the findings support the idea that passion is relatelively more important to younger couples, while tenderness and loyalty are relatively more important to older couples. Interestingly, sexual intimacy is equally important for young and middle-aged couples, and communictaion si more important to young couples than to any group. Notice however that the relative rankings of the different components are the same for all age groups. Thus although the particular weightings may vary, there are remarkable similarities across age in the nature of relationships. These result make intuitive sense. It is reasonable that young couples should focus more on comunication since they aee still in the process of getting to know each other. Once this has occurred and people begin to anticipate their partner's reactions, they move to a love based more on security, commitment and loyalty. of course all of this assumes that one has a partner to love in the first place. Selecting a Partner How do we find someone to love? The process of mate selection has been researched a great deal over the years.Murstein synthesized this large literature and concluded that match selection occurred in three stages: the stimulus age, the value stage, and the roles stage. In the first stage one or more interesting stimuli, such as physical attractiveness, intellect, or social status, make the two individuals notice each other. Physical attractiveness is an especially strong stimulus for men. Women look for attractive men but are also drawn by status, preferring a leader than a follower and a person with good education or a good job. But preferences do not necesserily become choices. Both men and women compare their perceptions of someone they prefer and are likely to approach others only when these two perceptions are about equal. The hallmark of teh second stage is a comparison of values. Couples discuss their attitude toward work, marriage , religion, society, culture and a host of other topics. The more similar their values, the nore likely it is that their attraction to each other will deepen; it is true that birds of a feather flock together, at least in terms of stable relationships, not that opposite attract. Finally, as interactions become more frequent and intimate, each persons develops roles within the relationship. Developing roles goes beyond the comparisons of values in the previous stage. It is a way to see how each partner copes with the day to day aspects of the relationship, and it porvides a forum to see whether the person accepts or shirks responsability, is honest or deceitful, is moody or even keeled, and so forth. In short the roles stage provides a way to understand what makes the other person tick. Overall, men are quicker to think that they are compatible with their partner than woman are. Perhaps this is because men and women have different ideas about love. Men tend to be more romantic, believing in love with the first sight, feeling that there is only one true love destined for them, and regarding love as magical and impossible to understand. Women, on the other hand tend to be cautious pragmatists who believe that financial security is as important as passion in a relationship, that there are many people whom a person could learn to love, and that love does not conquer all differences.

Ego-development theories view personality as an organization of needs, motives, dispositions, habits and abilities that are used to reach higher goals. Author "Jung" pioneered the field of adult ego development. He argued that there is an age related increase in introversion and an increase in the manifestation of behaviours that are associated with the opposite text. Erikson describes eight stagesof ego development based on the idea that every stage involves the resolution of a struggle between competing forces. Three of these these stages relate directly to adulthood: intimacy versus isolation, generativity versus stagnation, and ego integrity versus dispair. Recent additions and modifications of Erikson's theory have addressed problems such as the cyclic nature of stages and how transitions between stages occur. Loevinger describes an alternative view of ego development that relates it to cognitive development and social development; six of these stages are observed across adulthood(conformist, conscientious-conformist, conscientious, individualistic, autonomous and integrated). Research on the ego development in the Kansas city studies, Ryff's research and Lowenthal and her colleages' work document age related changes in ego.Other stage theories of personality base development on personal myths and alternating periods of stability and transition. Gould argues that development consists of breaking childhood bonds and giving up a series of personal myths. Levinson contends that life structure undergo change by alternating between periods of stability and transition. Neither theory has much empirical support, and they should be viewed as interesting hypotheses rather than explanations of development. Moreover there is little evidence, to support a belief in a mid life crisis.Trait theory assumes that personality consists of many stable, enduring characteristics(traits) that can be grouped into a few dimensions. Costa and McCrae postulate five dimensions of adult personality: neuroticism, extraversion, opennes to experience, agreeableness-antagonism, and conscientiousness-undirectedness. Longitudinal research examining the traits that make up their model shows that the underlying trait dimensions do not change significantly during adulthood. However additional research on combinations of personality and life style as well as other traits reveal some evidence for change. A major explanatory variable for this discrepancy may be stressful life events. Cognitive theories of personality emphasize the role of subjective perceptions in understanding developmental changes. Thomae argues that these subjective impressions are more important than objective reality, since it is the subjective perception that is related to changes in personality. That is, only if the person believes that change is needed, than change will be observed. Whitbourne examined poeple's conceptions of how their lives were organised. She found that people developed scenarious(life plans) and life stories(autobiographies).Kegan proposes that self concept develops in a stagelike manner that parallels cognitive development. Howerver research evidence points to stability unless one experiences life events that push for change. Age related changes in sense of personal control remain unclear; apparently personal control is a complex, multidimensional aspect of personality that is situationally determined. Life satisfaction seems to remain fairly constant across adulthood. A few individual difference variables have been identified, including neuroticism and several demographic variables. Adults tent to develop more androgynous sex roles with age; a sex-role reversal has little support.

Try uploading here the wp-config file, because you must have done any mistake while changing your parameters, such database name and localhost..There shouldn't be a reason for that $end to show.

Except for big brother, who is someking of a cold fight between members, other reality shows can be very annoying. I never like to loose my golden time watching tv.

nice name to remeber though. But this name in my language means jerk.

Sex addiction, also called sex dependency, sexual compulsivity is a condition where you are not able to manage your sexual behaviour. Though this condition is a relative one, very debated because it is not accepted by sexologists. Skeptics think that this condition must not be classified as a disease, but mostly as a kind of cultural product or cultural influence. Experts believe that this condition is like other addictions to drugs and alcohol. It is thought that the concept have described sickers as repeatedly and compulsively attempting to escape emotional or physical discomfort by using sexual behaviors such as masturbation, pornography, and thoughts about sex. Some other behaviours seem to be : empty affairs, frequent visits to prostitutes, cybersex, and similar to the above mentioned. This condition can also be classified as pornography addiction, or overuse of pornography, which is a state where people or persons have constant contact with pornographic material during the day, or where the person transforms pornography as a daily physiological need to be absorbed. Sex addicts do not necessarily become offenders. Moreover, not all sex offenders are sexually addicted. Studies show that sex offenders act not for sexual benefits, but rather out of a disturbed need for power, dominance, control or revenge, or anger. But recently we have come to understand that there are also strong sexual trictions that motivate sex offense. Increasing problems with sexual addiction has created new forms of sexual life, such as phone sex, computer pornography. To conclude I must say that the behaviour characterizing other addictions such as drug or gambling is fairly the same. But concept is different. How? We can live free of gambling, drugs, or alocohol and be strong and healthy, but if we are helathy this means we have a strong desire to sex relationships. We can consider sex like aeting rather tha like gambling, so sex addiction is some kind of psychiatric illness related to mind rather than body or organism.

There are three things to consider for me while backing up a site, : a. The first thing to know is what is your website content, which means that you shouldn't back up the wrong things. Usually files and databases are main back up procedures.b.You can download all the files from the public_html to your desktop computer, and than reaarrange the ones needed for the future and make whatever you want.c.Or you can just constantly back up only back up databases, usually mysql databases, if you are not making much improvements to the site.I prefer full back up of a site.

I never liked Call fo Duty at any time, and I just played the second edition. Though I prefer kinda strategy games, or adventure like Prince of Persia.

Black holes are places or areas of the space where the gravitational force is so strong, that even ligh itself can't escape from. They seem to posses a temperature and a Hawkin radiation due to quantum analysis. Mostly they say that black holes are invisible interiorly, but black holes can reveal they presence by interaction they create with the space objects. We can suppose a group of stars that come around a place which is dull, or seems empty.This can be the black hole.Black holes continue to grow by absorbing space matter. They continually absorb interstellar dust and from surroundings, but neither of these procesess affects their mass. Supermassive black holes which we suspect to be in the center of giant galaxies are believed to have form from many small coagulation masses.Such observations ahev created a general consensus that black holes do exist in the galaxy.

In fact, meditation works fine if you keep thinking, about everything, about the way you live, you act, about the life in general and about lots of things this world shares with us. So have a great time in meditation.

I just want hapiness, but this things are relative. Sometimes money when needed bring hapiness, but if you have too much of money they bring trouble. I am really confused about this terms. There are times when you get great times and you are happy, but still you have no money. And there are times when you become stressed and worried just because of money. So I guess everything is up to eveery one's personality. Selfish people will always try to find money and money will be their moto. And other people despite of money will be good and helpful to others.
