How heartbreak affects your health
A broken heart can cause emotional and physical trauma to the heart and affect your health too.
Hormones
The second he said adios, your adrenal glands started churning out the hormones cortisol and adrenaline, the costars of the body's fight-or-flight stress response. Depending on how bad the breakup was, your stress hormones are anywhere from simmering to skyrocketing (a reaction that, like all of the below, can settle down after a few days or last for years)--and they're likely ratcheting up your blood pressure.
Brain
It's like clockwork: Your eyes hit that photo of the two of you and--boom! awful stomach pit. You feel sick, yet you can't look away. That's because the moment you saw his face, blood started rushing to your brain's pleasure center, the ventral segmental area. These are all the good times talking.
The command center for craving and longing also lights up. It demands attention--one reason you're obsessed with driving by your ex's house, stalking his Facebook page, or trying to replace him with some other satisfier.
But rejection also sends blood flow to two other areas: the secondary somatosensory cortex and the dorsal posterior insula, both involved in producing physical pain. That's why you may feel achy all over, not just in your heart.
Initially crowded out by the above responses, your left prefrontal cortex slowly starts to light up. This part of your brain is responsible for reassessment and evaluation--the one saying, Maybe it's for the best. A mere whisper now, this signal will get stronger as time goes on.
Stomach
Your stressed-out nervous system signals your digestion to slow way down. Your stomach hurts, and you have zero appetite--except maybe for that pint of ice cream.
Immune System
The stress of rejection might agitate your body's immune system, leading to cell-damaging inflammation. The parts of your immune system that fight infection and keep viruses under control start to lose steam. You may get sick or develop a cold sore.
Skin
That free-flowing cortisol? It's triggering a pore-clogging oil buildup underneath your skin. Hence, why a broken heart is often accompanied by acne.
Hair
If you're totally devastated, some of the hair follicles on your head could enter a state called telogen effluvium. That's medspeak for "resting phase," in which your strands stop growing or, after a while, start falling out.
Don't worry. Soon enough, it will have you thinking, Yes, it was for the best. You'll grow new hair--and find new love.

Riding bikes may be harmful to female sexual health
If you love riding bikes and you’re a woman, you’re in for some bad news: It could be hurting your sexual health.
It’s long been known that bike saddles, which put pressure on sensitive areas of the body, can harm the sexual performance of men, but cycling’s effect on the female anatomy was less well-known. Until now.
A new study at Yale, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, shows that riding bikes decreases women’s sexual sensation.
The theory behind the connection is that riding on a bike saddle places a lot of pressure on the nerves and blood vessels in the genital area — and it turns out this happens whether you are man or woman.
The study builds on a 2006 study at Yale that showed, compared to female runners, female cyclists had less genital sensation.
The latest study looked specifically at what about bikes affect soreness and numbness in women. The participants were 48 female bike riders who cycled at least 10 miles a week, though many biked much more.
The riders brought to the lab their own bikes, which were then mounted onto a stationary
machine.
The subjects were hooked up to a device that measured sensation in the
pelvic floor, and they then rode on the bikes while reporting on
feelings of numbness, soreness and tingling.
The main finding was that the lower the handlebars, the more physical effects the women experienced, likely because low handlebars required the women to lean forward, which in turn put more pressure on the perineum, which is made of soft tissue. The problem was most likely to occur when the rider assumed an aerodynamic racing position in which she leaned far forward with her back flat.
“We’re basically showing that there may be modifiable risk factors associated with female riders,” Dr. Marsha K. Guess, an author of the study and an assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the Yale School of Medicine, told The New York Times. “This better positions us to educate riders on safe riding practices that may actually be beneficial to reduction of pressure and lost sensation in the pelvic floor.”
In addition to raising handlebars, no-nose bike saddles (which you can see pictured here) also alleviate or eliminate the problem. Such bike saddles, in which the rider rests only on the pelvic “sit” bones, don’t require the rider to put any pressure on the perineum. As Dr. Steven M. Schrader, who pioneered the use of no-nose bike saddles for men, believes they would also help women. As he explained the The Times, “If you don’t put weight there,” he said, “there’s no pressure.”

FOR WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of age, maturity and relationships
I saw a random quote the other day on a friend’s Facebook status that went something like: “Little girls fall for looks and swag. Basic girls fall for the money. Grown up girls fall for stability and security.” I actually thought about it, and it did make a lot of sense to me.
As a young lady born and bred in Nairobi and in her “early” late 20’s I can attest to the above being true. Through my experiences I can freely tell you that I have studied men and their behaviors for quite some time. I started dating seriously when I was nineteen. I have dated men my age, men slightly older than me, men quite older than me, rich men, average men, smart men, hardworking men, lazy men and real hustlers. Come to think of it though, I’ve only seriously dated four men so feel free to distribute the aforementioned men’s traits among the four men I’ve dated.
Because of my four serious experiences I can easily tell you that I noticed that men mature with age while women (I’m speaking for myself and my experiences) grow wiser with age. And yes, age is always the determining factor as it has a lot to do with everything… especially the way people reason.
I have seen –and still see- girls throw themselves at men who they consider hot and full of swag and in turn these cute men end up treating them badly because according to them they are the “lookers” and the girl is the one who went fishing. Such men will look at things like; you brought yourself and forced things hence all the work should be upon you. Those who fall for swag and looks end up miserable as looks and swag is all that will feature in the relationship. Such men will never put any effort to the relationship so in the end, apart from being miserable you end up with just looks and swag which can neither feed nor clothe you plus you get to be treated like you don’t really matter.
Throwing yourself at a guy is never the best thing to do. Throwing yourself at a guy who isn’t into you and to make things worse, you are doing it for the purposes of looks and swag will put you in one endless roller coaster ride that will constantly leave you in a dark place like a little girl who can’t fend for herself in life.
Women who are only money minded also end up in the dumps as instead of a blissful, healthy relationship, they find themselves in a place where they constantly have to be dependent on somebody else to the point that it affects every other aspect of their lives which makes moving on in life for them pretty difficult. It all starts well until you realize that you are the one suffering. Since you are in it for the money, you sort of stop thinking about how you get treated. You are never sure of where Mr. Money bags is. You are always doubtful as you know there are other women out there who are just like you who will fall for your man the same way you did because of the money. You are always wondering who he is with and what he’s up to. All those business trips he takes, who he travels with, who he meets up with? What he does with his money, how many young girls he has tried to impress by buying them cars and taking them to expensive exotic trips… Life just passes you by because you never took the time to learn how to provide for yourself because you always knew that Mr. Money bags will always take care of you and your needs and you got comfortable. But you will never be at peace in your relationship as everything about you becomes just Basic!
Women in the last category (those who look for stability and security) know what they want, how they want it and when they want it. They plan, they work, and they have been there and have done that and therefore are settled in their minds. They don’t just jump into things without thinking them through. They have gone through the phases of falling for the cute, broke guy, to the ugly guy with tons of cash to the average looking guy with an average wallet.
For taking time to understand life and its processes you get rewarded with some peace of mind. You get rewarded with a bearable life in which you have a say in whatever it is that concerns you. You have a say in how you control your finances, you have a say in how you do everything in your house and you have a say in your relationship and best of all in your life. When you are stable in your own life you will think of others and even assist in helping to build them to become better people. You are a grown up!
So, do I think settling down with a woman who looks for a stable, secure life, knows how things work, knows how relationships work is the ideal thing to do. I sure do think so. Is the subject of men and maturity, women and wisdom valid? I give you a resounding YES!
So, as a woman what do you think? and where do you fall? Are you a Little girl, a Basic girl, or a Grown up girl?

WHAT IS MAN ENOUGH?
How much of a man one feels it should have nothing to do with the amount with the amount of money that he has,it should come from deeper within himself.
In this extrema materialistic world,both men and women are in danger of forgetting the real meaning of being man enough.there is danger of 'man enough'being changed to 'rich enough' that would be sad because the number of rich men is rather negligible-we would have few real men.Some women will lose respect for a man as soon as he becomes skint,but that only means the respect was bubble-gum and conditional.
You are the man you think you are,many men understandably so,tend to quantify their manhood according to their bank accounts.The reckon they are if the bank account is treading close to the zero mark,so does their mental manhood.A man is allowed to feel temporarily down if he is unable to be the bread-winner,but it would be unforgivable for him to think himself less of a man.A man,however is not allowed to feel sorry for himself there are four thing less attractive than a man feeling woie for himself.
If a man fails at a major project or loses his job,he is forgiven for being angry and sad but he cannot be forgiven for measuring his manhood against the negatives.Mourning is off the card for men-their is nothing manly about it and the energy could be channeled into another project.This is for men who feel sorry for themselves and complains that women do not like them because they are not rich;you are less a man because you believe you are,not because a woman makes you feel like a lesser a man.Essentially,you are the only one who can allow a women to being you down ,you might be broke,but you still have a functioning body and brain especially in this of trouble:it is what you a man or not depending on whether you value yourself or not.
Finally,if you only think of yourself as man enough you are rolling in mullah,then you have huge self-esteem issues.You need to work an yourself before trying to get rich.Riches comes and go,being man enough should be permanent state,with or without money.Being man enough has nothing to do with the ability to live in leafy suburb or driving a humongous car;a real man never feels the need to prove himself,he just does the right thing like respect himself and respect his woman.Money is only complimentary to a man's character or self worth

HERBET LOM,PINK PANTHER STAR DIES
Herbert Lom, Pink Panther star, dies aged 95
Lom as he appeared in Curse of the Pink Panther, The Ladykillers, The Seventh Veil, The Human Jungle and I Have Been Here Before
Actor Herbert Lom, best known for playing Charles Dreyfus in the Pink Panther films, has died aged 95.
The Czech-born, London-based actor starred opposite Peter Sellers in several films as Inspector Clouseau's irritable boss. Lom appeared in more than 100 films during his 60-year acting career, including such classics as The Ladykillers, Spartacus and El Cid.
His family said he died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday.
Lom also portrayed Napoleon Bonaparte on two occasions. One of them came in the 1956 screen adaptation of Tolstoy's War And Peace, also starring Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda.
He first appeared as police chief Dreyfus in 1964's A Shot In The Dark, a character who became increasingly mentally unstable as a result of Clouseau's incompetence as the films went on.
Lom was born Herbert Charles Angelo Kuchacevich ze Schluderpacheru in Prague in 1917, where he grew up and attended the city's university.
Lom (left) starred opposite Peter Sellers in several Pink Panther movies
He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London before making his English language acting debut in 1940 film Mein Kampf - My Crimes.
He was offered a seven-year contract with Twentieth Century Fox and secured several lead roles in the 1940s, including Napoleon in The Young Mr Pitt.
In the 1950s he played opposite Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers in Ealing comedy The Ladykillers and opposite Robert Mitchum and Rita Hayworth in Fire Down Below.
He made a speciality of playing the sinister character in a string of low-budget horror films including a number of Hammer studio productions, playing the Phantom in their production of The Phantom of the Opera.
Those parts persuaded director Blake Edwards to give him his most famous role as Inspector Clouseau's long-suffering boss in several of the Pink Panther movies.
"It was a godsend when I was offered the part," he said of the role. "But it did become a double-edged sword as people started to associate me with Dreyfus."
Lom married Dina Schea in 1948, whom he divorced in 1971, and had a daughter with potter Brigitte Appleby.
He also wrote two novels alongside his acting career: Enter A Spy published in 1971 and Dr Guillotine in 1993.
His later acting career saw him work with director David Cronenberg in a 1983 adaptation of Stephen King novel The Dead Zone, opposite Christopher Walken.

Deaf gerbils 'hear again' after stem cell cure
Deaf gerbils 'hear again' after stem cell cure
Researchers hope they will be able to one day treat deafness with stem cells.
UK
researchers say they have taken a huge step forward in treating deafness
after stem cells were used to restore hearing in animals for the first
time. Getting the same improvement in people would be a shift from being unable to hear traffic to hearing a conversation.
However, treating humans is still a distant prospect.
If you want to listen to the radio or have a chat with a friend your ear has to convert sound waves in the air into electrical signals which the brain will understand.
This happens deep inside the inner ear where vibrations move tiny hairs and this movement creates an electrical signal.
However, in about one in 10 people with profound hearing loss, nerve cells which should pick up the signal are damaged. It is like dropping the baton after the first leg of a relay race.
The aim of researchers at the University of Sheffield was to replace those baton-dropping nerve cells, called spiral ganglion neurons, with new ones.
Analysis: A hairy problem
While there is excitement at the prospect of using stem cells to restore nerves in the ear this exact technique will not help the vast, vast majority of people with hearing loss.Most hearing problems are caused by damage to the tiny delicate hairs which convert mechanical vibrations into electricity.
This research group have also converted embryonic stem cells into the early versions of the hair cells.However, injecting them into the ear to restore hearing will be no easy task.
The hairs cells all need to be in the exact place and pointing in exactly the right direction.
Prof Dave Moore said using stem cells to repair the hairs was "almost an impossible task" and that the far-fetched concept of growing and transplanting a replacement ear seemed more likely.
They used stem cells from a human
embryo, which are capable of becoming any other type of cell in the
human body from nerve to skin, muscle to kidney.
A chemical soup was added to the stem cells that converted
them into cells similar to the spiral ganglion neurons. These were then
delicately injected into the inner ears of 18 deaf gerbils.Over 10 weeks the gerbils' hearing improved. On average 45% of their hearing range was restored by the end of the study.
Dr Marcelo Rivolta said: "It would mean going from being so deaf that you wouldn't be able to hear a lorry or truck in the street to the point where you would be able to hear a conversation.
"It is not a complete cure, they will not be able to hear a whisper, but they would certainly be able to maintain a conversation in a room."
About a third of the gerbils responded really well to treatment with some regaining up to 90% of their hearing, while just under a third barely responded at all.
Gerbils were used as they are able to hear a similar range of sounds to people, unlike mice which hear higher-pitched sounds.
The researchers detected the improvement in hearing by measuring brainwaves. The gerbils were also tested for only 10 weeks. If this became a treatment in humans then the effect would need to be shown over a much longer term.
There are also questions around the safety and ethics of stem cell treatments which would need to be addressed.
'Tremendously encouraging' Prof Dave Moore, the director of the Medical Research Council's Institute of Hearing Research in Nottingham, told the BBC: "It is a big moment, it really is a major development."
However, he cautioned that there will still be difficulties repeating the feat in people.
"The biggest issue is actually getting into the part of the inner ear where they'll do some good. It's extremely tiny and very difficult to get to and that will be a really formidable undertaking," he said.
Dr Ralph Holme, head of biomedical research for the charity Action on Hearing Loss, said: "The research is tremendously encouraging and gives us real hope that it will be possible to fix the actual cause of some types of hearing loss in the future.
"For the millions of people for whom hearing loss is eroding their quality of life, this can't come soon enough."

DANGEROUS GAME WITH SEX TOY!!!!!!!!!!!
During my vacation i met with my old friend as we catch up for the long time on see,i noticed he was troubled and he was willing to share...His problem was to do with toys,something i had never thought of.....
His attempt to discourage her fell on deaf ears,not long into her promotion,she started going out every night neglecting him.Though they had earlier agreed to settle down and have children's,immediately after her promotion things changed.she told him that she had a right to her body and felt that it was not yet time to start a family....
Through his friends advised him to foot down as the man of the house,he opted out for dialogue and consultations.One day out of the blues,she introduced the use of sex toy into their marriage bed and although he had never used them he was very excited.At last he thought she was beginning to develop interest in sex,for a while things were great and the toys made her more interested in sexual games.He even imagined is was just a matter of time before they got a child,then out of the blue his wife withdraw from him again.She completely avoided the bedroom and argued that there was more to life than sexual satisfaction.
He noticed that his wife was spending too much time in the bathroom,When he was her happy place where she could relax,pray and write stuff in her journal.Though he found her explanation,strange he decided to not raise her and ignored the warning bells in his head.But last week he discoverde something that no man would want to find in his own home.he decided to come home unexpected with the intention of surprising his wife with a dinner at her favorite restaurant in town.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR ADVICE FOR HIM?
WOMEN ARE JUST AS VISUAL AS MEN!
"We want to eye the candy",a close female friend said,it was about the forthcoming safaricom sevens at nyayo national stadium.And this made me think and get down and write this blog
Men (i)include we think otherwise but women too are visual creatures and they like to ogle,leer,dissect and analyse the male body.They may not have much to the work with as has,but here are few things thet am told they look at.The undisputed attention drawer is gluteus maximus-otherwise known as "the butt",there is something so primal,sensual and sexy about looking at a compact well-constructed behind,espicially when its encased in a pair of fine jeans
Their primordial instincts fuse with the visual desire,since they consider a well-shaped behind the perfect launch for thrust and tumble that comes with pleasurable pursuit....though scientists say that a firm butt is critical for sending those vital millions of male seed out on an assigment to locate and fuse with the elusive ovum.
So they don't fancy men who have excessively skinny bums,mainly because they look like they should be fed not fed upon.They also know that those skinny bums comes with sharp pelvis bones that can cause massive injuries to soft female tissues.In the same breath,am told overabundant behinds are somehow synonymous with obesity and sub-standard performance to make the matter worse,some men even have hips(oh may)and from the rear view one cannot make the proper gender distinction,which can be very harrowing.Of course,there is little you can do as a man if nature gave you hips,but perhaps a few squats would not hurt.
The perfect butt accessory and ogle factor number two,is the hip line.This is that line that leads from the the hip bone down to the pelvis,and that make a rather interesting "V"shape.There is something very raw,vircle and hot about a man's v-line....never knew about that and you?.And to prove this ladies and gents who don't believe what am saying would do well to watch D'Angelo's how does it feel video.This line only appears in full relief in athletic and fit guys,and it looks even better above a well-toned behind,did i just say that not i is what am told and heard and researched
Once they have inspected the man's derriere,they like to have a full frontal inspection.This is where a fine,well-shaped chest does the magic,especially when it's paired with a firm and broad back.A nice chest spells confidence and many women visualize spending hours laying their head on such a chest,sadly on this side of Sahara men have misguidedly come to believe that plump,big belly teddy bear are what they(ladies) like;we even take this further and tell ourselves that an abundant girth is an indicator of wealth,meaning that what a woman loses out in ogling pleasure is made up for the term of financial generosity.
Even the human anatomy expects will say that a chest that is concealed by layers of adipose deposits conjures images of death by suffocation,so closer you are to six pack,the better for all concerned.Though women are professed chest lover and huggers,they do like moderation,some men violate this rule and pump so much iron that they look like johnny bravo on steroids(for reference,please see the bouncer at your favorite night club).Many of these super-size blokes wear very small,tight shirts to show off thier physiques.when they are not show off,these bulky misters are knoewn to spend hours preering and posing in front of the mirrors in the gym,only women are allowed to hog the mirriors,gentlemen.And those barrol-like chests need to go.Strange as this might seem,they also look at a man's hands,they like strong,well-maintained and most importantly,clean-hands.They understand that most of as men are not yet to embrace the whole mani-pedi business,but their mind go into fantasy land the minute the spot a man who have nice,well fingers.And there is nothing more disgusting than those overgrown pinkie nails that men nurture under misguided notion that they give men an aura of sexiness;we couldn't be more wrong.if every man paid attention to having a good butt,strong chest and groomed hand would be a happier lot.And if all men came in the same package as sportsmen that would be nirvana.Given the effort women make to give men something to ogle at daily:I think this is enough challenge......

Wealth is more than just a feeling
I have often been asked whether there is really a point when you know you have made enough money and can finally relax.
This is what I have come to understand, after years
of working in this field. Having money on or with you is never the
solution to anything, and will never be the source of personal
fulfilment.
Say your magic number (the amount of money that you
currently imagine will solve all your difficulties) today is Sh1
million. If you do get it, you will want Sh5 million more, and so on.
So that ‘feeling’ of fulfilment will never come;
there will always be a new target in front of you and you will
consistently find yourself falling short, no matter how much money you
have.
Fostering change
We therefore need to stop looking at money as a
solution, and see it as a tool that can be used to grow us and challenge
us to change certain aspects of our character.
Most people want to get the Sh1 million without
changing anything about themselves, which is really where the hard work
is. Circumstances do not make a person; they reveal them, and what they
need to work on.
For example, to make this Sh1 million, you need to
foster discipline, and that may be the lesson your current situation is
teaching you.
If you can’t consistently put aside Sh5 000 a month, bother
to reconcile your bank statements or cut back on your 30 hours in front
of the TV every week, don’t expect to make that million.
Finding fulfilment
Without the discipline, even if you did get that
money, you would squander it. This is the reason why most people who get
money overnight lose it very quickly.
Having the money does not resolve the core problems with their character.
Another thing to consider is that wealth is not a
feeling. Euphoric feelings are flighty and temporary, and unfortunately,
most of us are ruled by feelings.
You may not feel like cutting expenses, or you may
not feel like getting up on Saturday to go to your investment group
meeting.
What feels good is not always right. In the quest
to chase what feels good and feel rich, we have got ourselves into major
problems with our spending, debt, priorities and so on.
Since the ‘feel good’ factor only lasts a few
seconds, we then need to look for something else, like new clothes or a
bigger car.
Without understanding that feelings should not
dictate your actions, you can get your Sh1 million only to spend it on a
temporary ‘feel good’ item and find yourself with the same problems.
Let your goals and everyday actions be underpinned by values,
not just making money for the sake of it. You could work towards
building investments that generate income so that you can spend time
with family.
Your fulfilment will come not so much from the
investments but from being able to spend time with family. You will find
you are not being driven by what you feel but by that value.
Then the decision to cut down on expenses or spending time to create extra income is not seen as a sacrifice, but a choice.

KISS OF FIRE
You may conquer with the sword,but you are conquered by a kiss-Daniel Heinsuis(1580-1655)
A passionate kiss is often leads one thing or another.Quite unexpected from the sensual feeling that comes with it,there may lay a 'catch' ;kissing although sweet,can lead to infections.
In fact,there is a 'kissing disease' known as mononucleosis or mono.This is one of the prototypical sexual transmitted infection that lovers can get from some romantic interludes.Apart from mononucleosis,there are varied infections that can be spread through kissing,infections disease are spread through several means Oral transmissions refers to spread of microbes through saliva,food or drinks.
When a person accidentally consumes microbe-contaminated items such as saliva during kissing,the swallowing action of the tongue wipes the microbes against the back of the throat,allowing the microbes to enter the body.Infection such as mononucleosis are caused by Epstein-barr virus(EBV) and Cytomegalovirus(CMV),via oral transmission from virus containing saliva.
Kaposi sarcona is however caused by a Herpes virus known as Human Herpes Virus 8(HHV-8).The virus can also be transmitted through kissing.other infections microbes that spread through saliva do so by sticking to the inner surface of the cheeks and mouth,tongue or teeth.An example is the bacterium Streptococcus,which can cause an array of infections including gum disease and strep throat.
BIO TIPS
so why is it that we love to pucker up?
It's important to remember that the surface of the respiratory tract(nose,mouth and throat)are continuous and made up of similar tissue.As a result,microbes found in the saliva can generally be found in other parts of the respiratory tract.Therefore,even colds,flues and other respiratory infections can potentially be spread through the saliva.
Cold sores are caused by the Herpes simplex Virus-1(HSV-1).In contrast to infections spread through the saliva,HSV-1 is spread through open cold sores on the lips or near the mouth,although the infection is most contagious when the sore is open and leaking fluids.Hand,foot and mouth disease caused by coxsackie virus,is another infectious disease spread through open sores in the mouth,it's common in kids,especially those in day-care or pre-school setting because it mainly spread via the faecal-oral route;a common problem in day cares,since changing of diapers goes on all day.In contrast to cold sore and coxsackie virus blisters,canker sore have no infections disease origin and cannot be spread through the saliva or kissing.
HIV and Hepatitis B virus(HBV) are blood-borne and sexual transmitted disease that have been found in the saliva,despite the presence of HIV in saliva,there have never been any report of HIV transmission via this route.However,transmission of Hepatitis B virus through saliva has been well documented as well as Hepatitis A and B.saliva has a natural cleansing role provided by its flushing activity,other anti-microbial defences in the saliva include antibodies and other anti-microbial protein like lysomes and normal mouth flora(the 'good'bacteria that prevents growth of 'bad'bacteria)
The spread of infectious microbes through the saliva can occur when natural Resistance in the mouth is reduced,for example gum infections can occur in people with vitamin C deficiencies while thrush is caused by candida II yeast infections,which is more likely to occur in people who have been taking antibiotics.People who are dehydrated have reduced salivary flow and four time more bacteria in their mouths

The reason why we kiss:science
Call it pecking,smooching,french-kissing or playing'tonsil-hockey',there
are many names for kissing as there are many ways to do it.Whether we
use it as informal greeting or an intensely romantic gesture,kissing is
one of those ingrained human behaviours that seem to defy explanation
It's
many purpose includes a blow-and -peck for a good luck on a
dice,lips to the ground after a sweat cracking race,kisses in the air to
an acquaintance,and the long slow smooches have different meaning yet
are similar in nature
so why is it that we love to pucker up?
kissing is involved in the three main types of attraction human have
- sex drive,which is ruled by testosterone
- romantic love,which is ruled by dopamine and other feel-good hormones
- Attachment,which involves bonding chemicals like oxytocin
Kissing,evolved to help on all three fronts
- saliva,swapped during romantic kisses has testosterone in it:
- feel-good chemicals are distributed when we kiss that help fuel romance
- kissing also help unleash chemicals that promote bonding,which provides for long-term attachment necessary for raising offspring'

The cruelest rule in sports: Track and field’s zero-tolerance false start policy
Usain Bolt seethes after a false start at the World Championships last year (Getty Images)Anything would be better than a false start.
"That's the worst-case scenario," Bailey said. "I even feel like a false start is worse than getting hurt because you don't get a chance to run. To be automatically out before you take one step, that's the worst possible feeling."
Fear of false starting is more prevalent among sprinters and hurdlers at this year's Olympics than any in the past because of a controversial rule change put into effect two years ago. Instead of charging a first false start to the field with the second disqualifying the offending runner, the new rule ousts athletes the first time they false start.
That zero-tolerance policy is as cruel and unforgiving as any rule in sports, more sudden than a sixth foul in the NBA Finals, more damaging than a red card at the World Cup and more common than an unsigned scorecard at one of golf's majors. It has induced tantrums from otherwise mature adults and waylaid some of the legends of the sport.
At the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea last August, 100 meters world record holder Usain Bolt pulled his shirt over his face and slapped a wall in anguish after leaving the blocks early in the finals of his signature race. Only one day earlier, meet officials had to escort a shell-shocked Christine Ohuruogu off the track in shock after the 2008 Olympic 400 meters champ lost focus and false started in a preliminary round.

Those mishaps and a handful of lower-profile disqualifications have some in track and field circles worried fans will be deprived of the chance to see some of the sport's greatest stars run in London. Four-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson told the Daily Mirror this past weekend that "he's absolutely concerned that we could lose a Bolt." Kellie Wells, a contender in the women's 100-meter hurdles, echoed those sentiments earlier this week.
"With the crowd noise at big meets when there are marquee athletes on the track, it's very, very possible somebody gets disqualified," she said. "I just pray, knock on wood, that it's not me and has nothing to do with my race."
What led international track and field's governing body to alter the false-start rule was the desire to streamline the sport and eliminate gamesmanship.
Christine Ohuruogu holds her face in her hands after a false start at the World Championships (Getty Images)Under
the old rules, sprinters or hurdlers notorious for slow reaction times
would attempt to gain an edge by guessing when the starting pistol would
fire, knowing the penalty would be charged to the field rather than to
themselves. The multiple false starts slowed down meets and made it
difficult for TV networks working within a specific timeslot.In their zeal to make the sport more TV friendly, IAAF officials failed to consider the consequences of their ham-handed rule change. TV executives would rather telecasts exceed a time limit by a couple minutes than deprive viewers of the chance to see some of the sport's main attractions race.
"The sport suffers when Christine Ohuruogu and Usain Bolt get thrown out of Worlds," four-time Olympic medalist and NBC track and field analyst Ato Boldon said. "They changed the rule saying they were trying to save time on television, but that did not work. That has not been the case. The reason the rule hasn't been changed back is you have an organization that's trying to save face."
Since the IAAF ignored the global outcry after Bolt's disqualification last August, sprinters and hurdlers harboring dreams of an Olympic medal in 2012 have tried to adjust to the new rules. Most have said they they'll be more cautious than usual in preliminary rounds and they will simply react to the gun in the final rather than risk trying to guess when the starter's pistol will go off.
Tianna Madison, one of the U.S. sprinters trying to dethrone the Jamaicans in the women's 100 meters, spends two or three practice sessions a week perfecting her reaction time and acceleration out of the blocks. Coach Raina Reider hasn't discussed a strategy with Madison because she has yet to false start this year, but he expects her and her peers instinctually to be a bit timid, especially since the computerized starting blocks at the Olympics are designed to catch every twitch.
[ Related: Double amputee Oscar Pistorius will run in the Olympics ]
"I think the reaction times are going to be bad," Reider said. "I think people are going to be a lot more cautious. I don't foresee anyone making the same mistake Bolt did last year. The fan is going to suffer because sprinters aren't going to run as fast. Slower reaction times will be the norm."
At an Olympics in which rain, wind and chilly temperatures could already be detrimental to fast times, the last thing sprinters and hurdlers need is another impediment. That's why it's disappointing to athletes like Bailey that Bolt's disqualification wasn't enough to force the rule to be changed back.
An underdog in a field that includes Bolt, Yohan Blake, Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin, Bailey knows he won't be able to overcome a sluggish start in a race that lasts less than 10 seconds. He intends to react out of the blocks the way he always does and hope it works to his advantage.
"People are going to be starting really timid," Bailey said. "They're not going to risk it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance for a lot of people. It only comes around every four years. If you false start this, it's going to haunt you for a while."
THE NEGLECTED VERANDAS
In the recent past we have witness fight between city askari,police and the hawkers in the capitals verandas.Some have fall prey of smelling nostrils cracking scent of teargas and ran all over,i too was not spared and that what directed me to the street and know the plight of the street vendors.
A preview about the market Muthurwa market was set up by the government in 2007 in a bid to provide hawkers in Nairobi with a more permanent selling space.The downside is that hawkers go where the market goes,and many buyer who give life to the street hawkers will not go to the market.The market has been branded the "monument of poor workmanship.The artitectual Association of Kenya said the market was poorly designed and many aspects overlooked
The complex has degenerated into a den of muggers where hawkers and matatu operators jostle for space
Most hawkers are afraid to speak about their misery of being shot at while breaking city by-laws,police brutally leaves many city hawkers suffering in silence.Chilling details of police endanger the lives of Nairobi residents by shooting indiscriminately as they kick hawkers off the streets can be laid bare today.
Several hawkers have come out to display bullet wounds sustained during the shooting mostly during evening busy hours,when streets are jam packed as people walk to bus stop heading home.In May 2009,a stray bullet killed a civil servant and businessman was seriously injured as police confront hawkers in the heart of Nairobi.Deputy police spokesman Charles owino defended the use of arms saying hawkers use excessive force against police,however Kenya National Commission on Human Right(KNCHR)argues that while police are allowed to use firearms where there's a threat of life,the protests by hawkers don't fit in this category.
The former chairman KNCHR Mr Omar and deputy spokesman Charles Owino said the public would soon have a credible forum to complain about police brutality once the Independent police oversight Authority is set up.
Stephen Waweru,the chairman of Central Business District Hawkers Association and also a hawker however maintain police are culpable claiming they are mistreated as some council askaris try to ward off competition for their wares,which are placed in strategic points.'Some asks have employed hawkers who sell their goods as certain streets without been touched.Why are they treating us like armed thugs yet we are just looking for daily bread?'Mr waweru said.He claims that due to involvement in the fight for the right of his members,some unknown people have threaten him with death and his case is being handled by the Release Political Prisoners Human Right Lobby Group.
Solution on this matter according to a new study is calling an the government to allocate space for the street vendors and stop treating them as outcasts.The study Negotiating"streets for all"in urban transport planning:The case for pedestrians,cyclists and streets vendors in Nairobi,Kenya,fault policy makers in Nairobi for neglecting these groups in policies.Neglecting of pedestrian,cyclists and street vendors in transport planning in different parts of the world reveals the persistence of inequality in the development and provision of trade and transport space that urgently needs to be examined and challenged as part of an effort to promote equality in urban and transport planning

EXPONENTIAL POTENTIAL
- Youngest member in Team Kenya to join champions Helen Obiri and Eunice Sum in 1,500-metre race at the Olympics
A hat trick of athletics world titles besides an
Africa crown has just heightened 18-year-old Faith Chepng’etich’s thirst
for Olympic glory.
Likening the forthcoming London Summer Games to the
proverbial David versus Goliath battle, the new World Junior
1,500-metre champion believes she is mature and ready for the big
league.
Still basking in the 2011 World Cross Country
junior and 2010 World Youth 1,500-metre glory, Chepng’etich couldn’t
have chosen a better place to announce her intentions than at the just
ended World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain.
Form Four student
The 18-year-old form four student at Winners Girls
High School in Keringet warmed up for the Olympic Games with a dominant
1,500m victory, erasing a decade standing championship record with new
time of 4:04:96 seconds.
Chinese Liu Dong held the previous time of 4:05.14 set on September 20, 1992 in Seoul, Korea.
Chepng’etich, who is the youngest member in Team
Kenya, will join the World Indoor 3,000-metre champion Helen Obiri and
Africa 1,500-metre silver medallist Eunice Sum in 1,500m at the
Olympics.
“I’m now used to competing at high level with
senior athletes; its time to join the big league. I know London won’t be
a piece of cake, but I shall go there well prepared and ready to
out-muscle the big girls,” said Chepng’etich on arrival from Barcelona
on Tuesday.
“My trip to London will just be like when a fearless David descended to the Valley of Elah to face Goliath,” Chepng’etich said.
“Just like David, fear has never been in my running vocabulary. I intend to battle to the final.”
Just how Chepng’etich managed to manoeuvre both competitive athletics and school is something many athletes would envy.
Chepng’etich has always brought along books at major championships.
“My teachers have been supportive as they give me some work which I get to do when I am off training,” Chepng’etich said.
“Studying in between races has really helped me wade off any distractions.”
Chepng’etich carried her mathematics books along with several assignments to Barcelona.
“I had several assignments, which I managed to do
when I wasn’t training,” said the soft-spoken Chepng’etich. “By the way,
mathematics is my favourite subject.”
Her parents Samuel and Linah Koech, who were at the
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to welcome their daughter,
expressed their gratitude to Winners High School management for their
support.
Winners
High School principal Maryline Lasoi was also at the airport to welcome
Chepng’etich and classmate Mercy Chebwogen, who also won the 3,000m
title at the WJC.
“I am so happy and proud of them since they just
brought home what I asked of them,” Ms Lasoi said. “I believe
Chepng’etich will perform well in London.”
Ms Lasoi added: “What amazes me most is that
Chepng’etich has remained humble and disciplined in class despite all
the accolades.”
Chepng’etich’s journey to stardom perhaps started
when she qualified to represent Kenya at the 2009 World Cross Country in
Amman, Jordan. However, Chepng’etich, was dropped from the team because
of her tender age at that time — 15.
She finally made it for the 2010 World Cross
Country Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland where she finished fourth
behind winner Mercy Cherono, Purity Cherotich and Esther Chemtai.

QUIT SMOKING FOR BABY'S LOVE.
In the past one month and two weeks or so have been going out and noticed thing that perplexed me and left me thinking how much we love our bodies?In many occasion i notice and realised the number in ratio of 3:1 ladies to men respectively the rate at which ladies are smoking and drinking is alarmingly raising at a usain bolt rate.Ladies have become hard quenchers and what happen to the days ladies loved soft drinks?Lets talk about that another day and talk about smoking in ladies.
The chemicals in cigarettes can affect your child before birth,and could even cause life-long problems.Many women of the reproductive age have taken up smoking as a regular habit.Many of these women are also trying to conceive and actually getting pregnant.The risk of cigarette smoking are well known ,they include heart disease,lung problems ranging from chronic cough to lung cancer,as well as wrinkled skin and bad breath.Smoking increase the rate of infertility in both men and women,and also increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Cigarettes smoke has many chemical which affect the baby in many ways.Smoking in pregnancy exposes the baby to carbon monoxide,which limits the supply of oxygen and nutrients.This leads to low birth weight babies.Exposure to nicotine cause,and reduces the baby's breathing movements.
Other problems linked with smoking in pregnancy include
Breathing second-hand smoking also affects the unborn child in much the same way as actual smoking.Reduced cigarette smoking reduces the risk factors and improves the overall heath of the mother and the baby.Quitting completely is the best chance at normal healthy life.The safe way to quit smoking is without medication.Cigarette smoking is the worst of addictions,so quiting is never easy;it requires motivation and determination greatest motivation should be that its good for you and the baby strategies that might work include.counselling from your doctor,setting small but manageable goals,throwing out all cigarette paraphernalia,avoid places or situation that prompt you to smoke and reward yourself when your small gaols are met
Quitting smoking can be difficult for some patients the use of nicotine replacement products can be very helpful.These are better than cigarette smoke,which has many other chemicals in addition to the nicotine.These products are available across the counter,but medical supervision is necessary.
Adjusting to a newborn can be very stressful and relapses are therefore common.the patient needs to be aware of this risk,so that she can work extra hard to avoid going back to smokingsocial support is the key,remember that exposing to the newborn to cigarette smoke can have many harmful effects.
The chemicals in the breast milk cause your baby more long term problem.Smoking also reduces the amount of breast milk over time,which is not beneficial to the baby
The key principle,which is not difficult is to never to start smoking.If you are already pregnant,keep reducing the number of sticks you smoke,so that you completely quit by the time the baby is born......GOOD LUCK!!!

The stone truth about love
During the weekend i found and realized that women must stop buying the hype that Nollywood,Hollywood and mexican telenovelas sell them about love and romance.
The sane women,have found themselves spending money unnecessarily to get the next copy of the sequel in the series,even as they tally all those legions of women who ,day in day out search for their next love opium via movies or telenovelas.
All the fairytale whether5 set in print or Polaroid,share one thing in common:The prominence that give to the words ' i love you' and to the drama that their announcements herald,as soon as these words are uttered nirvana and heaven are attained instantly.Today,many men have cottoned the wondrous power of those three words,some guys like to use them with impunity on any women who tickle their fancy.What they forget is that in real life,as opposed to movies,there must be some method to the madness of love
On my POV(point of view),there is nothing like a instant love or love-at-no-sight or at-first-sight.Is propaganda created to sustain movie and music industry,all of us have been duped into believing that instant love exists and we have to do is wait to be stung by the love bug.Yes,there can be intense liking at first sight or a drop of the liking as with online dating but never can there be full blown love at first.Fancying the curvature of a girl at fight sight or drooling over a man's baritone on first hearing is not love at first sight maybe lust,we tend to confuse one with the other,often with major consequences the simple facts is that real love is like a seed that must be allowed to grow until is either mature or dies.
Some men see these words as the magic key that unlocks hearts and bodies so they can use with relish.the most unfortunate bit is that millions of women will throw away their common sense,their wallets and their panties all at the sound of ' i love you'.
In my close friend Anita view is that love needs 90 days gestation period,at least with full disclosure and openness for it to translate into anything meaningful and she does not understand why women (including herself)believe that a man can fall in love with them on a day without even discovering how they look with artificial hair,make up layers and how they fall for a man without gauging his generosity meter,his wallet elasticity and how many female heart he has smashed.How does one fall in love without conducting a vetting audit of either party's love history.The most annoying thing about these words love is that thet mean different thing to different people,some men usually mean what they say,however the many other like to use them to resolve difficult conflicts to quiet emotional demands.
Men know that women are hopelessly romantic and all it takes to unlock their emotional safes is in the i-love-you combination.But men need to realize that once those words are out your mouth then they expect a lot follow.For many women,'i love you' means that you are ready to commit your time,your resource and even your life with them.
If a man has no intention of committing any of the above to them,then he must not use those words without any tangible action then he is just using you and not loving you.And caution to all parties who say 'i love you' while under the influence or while in the middle of certain activities that have been known to cause temporary loss of sanity and logical thinking
So for love to be credible,it must be confessed in a sober space.The sooner we stop believing the love gospel according to soppy novels and mushy movies,the better for all of us.Love is not like instant coffee,its more like a slow baking cake that could either rise o fall from much heart or from being in the wrong oven

PUT IT ON!
Shock in Moi University as a first year girl (fresher) infects 90 students with HIV in 50 days
With the recent reports of campus girls caught with MPs and holding private parties with wenye nchi, it goes without saying that university girls from local public universities have nothing to look up to.Rumor has it that a first year student at Moi University has broken the record by sleeping with 90 university students in a clean 50 days; Guinness World Book of records should award her ama?
The lady who is alleged to have slept with the men has released a list and announced to her victims that they are now infected with HIV and an STI.
Recently another list was released by another lady from the same campus who claimed to have slept with 132 students and infected them with HIV.
Question is, are these chics total knock outs that men in the campus cant contain themselves or is sex just like food for the soul in this campus?
The men are now having sleepless nights as the student claimed to have even made them aware of her status but they took it for a joke and went on sleeping with her without rubber.
Word has it that she does NOT even regret what she has done; she says you can’t cry over spilt milk, either way what’s done is done!
Some of the students said that all that was just a rumor and an initiative by the school administration to stop students from illicit affairs.

Unnecessary Noise
DISCLAIMER: This post should NOT be used to attack a community or vernacular music. NOT all vernacular music is bad. NOT all members of any given community are chauvinistic and archaic in their thinking. Any comments that are even remotely inflammatory will be deleted. Kenya is bigger than all of us!
I listen to Kikuyu music, both secular and gospel. A lot of Kikuyu music is very informative and the beat is quite catchy.
Current song I am jamming to is Agiginyani by Shiru wa GP. An awesome keep-your-head-up gospel song.
My attention has been drawn to an emerging genre of Kikuyu music that is inflammatory, provocative and in very bad taste. In a country that is yet to heal after the post-election violence, these songs are a harbinger of bad tidings.
I shall not sit back and watch my country burn. This post is blowing the whistle. I do not know the extent of the fire that these songs have caused. What I know is the Demathew, Kamande and Muigai are some of the most popular Kikuyu musicians with mega sales of their VCDs. Thus I shudder to imagine the number of households that are playing these songs.
For the many who cannot hear Kikuyu, I have translated snippets of the songs and in Demathew’s case explained the nuances as he sings in parables. You can ask your Kikuyu friends to translate further.
Uhuru ni Witu (Uhuru is Ours) – Kamande wa Kioi
Translated snippets:
Greetings people of the house of Gikuyu and Mumbi. I bring you a message from all Kikuyu musicians. This is a message from God. Uhuru is the Moses of the Kikuyu nation. He is meant to move Kikuyus from Egypt to Canaan. Do not agree to be divided. Let all votes go to him. He is ours. He is anointed by God, poured oil on.
Raila, there is a call. Go to Mama Ngina’s house, a king has been born there. Once there ask where Uhuru is seated and pour oil on him. Just like Samuel did for David in the Bible. Stop chasing the wind Agwambo, go to Icaweri and anoint Uhuru.
You thump your chest about Hague, is Hague your mother’s? There is a curse from God. Philistines who do not circumcise cannot lead Israel. When Abraham stressed God, he was told to go get cut, even you General of Migingo, your knife is being sharpened.
Hague Bound – Muigai Wa Njoroge and Muhiko
Translated snippets:
Question: If it was you who is being pushed to The Hague what would you do?
Answer: I would call my family and divide up my property and then ask my mother to pray for me.
Question: What if you knew that Hague you are being pushed there by an uncircumcised man who wants to push you there and take over your wife and all your wealth? A man who can do anything to ensure you are in problems.
Answer: There it is better to die. Things for a man are not governed by an uncircumcised man. I would kill him. Its better they increase my charges.
Question: What would you tell your crying supporters as you are being shipped to Hague?
Answer: I would tell them to pray for me and know I am being persecuted for my love of my community.
Question: When you get to Hague how you would ensure the white man does not cheat you?
Answer: I would ask for proceedings to be done in Kikuyu.
Question: When on the dock what would you be thinking of the uncircumcised man who is the source of your predicament?
Answer: I would ask God to forgive him. I would also ask that he gets circumcised so that he matures mentally. I would also ask Kenyans to be very wary of that man.
Mwaka wa hiti (The year of the hyena) – Demathew
Translated and explained snippets:
As Demathew I prophesize and let the stones hear me if men wont.
It is now the year of the hyena. Who will teach you and your ears are blocked?
When a man is seated he sees further than a boy on top of a tree.
You are like a greedy hyena seeing a man walk and following him hoping that his arm will drop off. You follow him till he boards the train and the arm does not drop and you never eat. (A reference to all that may benefit from ICC)
Before Jesus was crucified He stood in the court Judge Pilato and he answered all questions, Judge Pilato said Jesus is free but the crowd asked that a thief be freed instead. (ICC will show Uhuru’s innocence)
Where are you (Peter Kenneth) from? If you were one of us, you would be pained by the people burnt in Kiambaa church. My brother lost his property in Kisumu, how can you tell us he (Raila) is our community’s friend.
Father (Jomo Kenyatta) I feel sad when I see your son (Uhuru) being persecuted by men of ill-will and a woman (Martha Karua) is carrying their bags.
In-law (Kalonzo) things are not going well for you now. You are clueless and your matters are now being discussed by women in the market. But I still remember how you saved me (after 2007 elections) when leopards had attacked me.
After listening to these three songs I shuddered. If the leading lights of Kikuyu music are doing this, then how much more prevalent is it? Are other communities also producing such inciteful vernacular songs? This is a ticking time bomb right under our noses!
Let us think of how to put out this fire before it is too late!
PRAY FOR KENYA!
GOD BLESS KENYA!
