There is an interesting TED talk. It's based on the 75 year study. Yes, 75 years! This study has been conducted with over 700 men. But the same goes for women as well.
It's not the high cholesterol, or high blood pressure that necessarily kills. It's a lack of good relationship!
That is not to say you never fight or argue with your partner or friends.
It's not also the number of 'friends' you have in FaceBook or any other social media. It's a quality of that relationship. You could have 1000s of "friends" and still be 'lonely."
I remember the Beatles' song vaguely..... "Oh, look at all the lonely people...." or something like that.
♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
Family, friends and communities that are based on Trust and support for each other seem to make a difference.
Enjoy the talk.

A Team Is Not A Team Unless.....
I really like this quote from Stephen Covey. I liked his book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I read it many years ago but his principles are applicable more now than ever. I recommend you read it, if you haven't.
Whether it's a family or work community, there won't be a real collaboration without trust.
Sure you might be a good coordinator. You can organize very involved events or corporate travel.
But that's not collaboration.
If you are stopped by a police officer because you were speeding, you will cooperate with the officer while he investigates. And that's not collaboration, either.
Collaboration is where people come together to build and create something.
True collaboration is not achieved unless every member of that family, community, society, etc., trust each other.
That trust won't be created out of policies or treatise. That trust can only be born out of mutual respect and inner confidence.
If we can all come together with this attitude of trust, the families will have less conflicts, the work place could be more productive, and nations will be more at peace with each other.
That will be a very good world team, indeed. (^_-)-☆

After a Century of Searching, We Finally Detected Gravitational Waves

As two black holes spiraled toward each other and merged, they created ripples in the fabric of the cosmos in exactly the form physicists have predicted for a century: gravitational waves. Unveiled today during a suite of international press conferences, the signal paves the way for a whole new understanding of the universe.
"This is the first time the universe has spoken to us through gravitational waves. Up until now we have been deaf,"LIGO Laboratory Director David Reitze, of the University of Florida, said today at a press event in Washington, D.C.
At the root of gravitational waves is Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, which says that anything with mass warps the very fabric of space-time. When massive objects move, they create distortions in the cosmic fabric, generating gravitational waves. These waves ripple through the universe like sound waves pulsing through the air.

When massive objects move, they create distortions in the cosmic fabric, generating gravitational waves. These waves ripple through the universe like sound waves pulsing through the air.
Einstein's theory predicts that the universe is teeming with gravitational waves, but until now we hadn’t been able to detect them, in part because the waves are exceptionally faint. But even before its upgraded instruments came officially online last year, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) picked up a clear signal from the powerful collision of two black holes 1.3 billion light-years away.
“To have a gravitational wave signal detected while LIGO is still not near design sensitivity in the first science run is astonishing, it’s jaw-dropping, in a good way” says Joan Centrall, who headed up NASA’s Gravitational Astrophysics Laboratory before becoming the agency’s deputy director of the Astrophysics Science Division.
That exhilaration rippled through LIGO’s Livingston, Louisiana, observatory and through the rest of the world as the team made their announcement. Nearly everything that astronomers have learned about the cosmos has come from different forms of light, such as visible, radio waves and X-rays. But just as seismic waves can reveal hidden structures deep inside Earth, gravitational waves carry with them information about hidden properties of the universe that even light can't reveal.
“We began with a high-risk job with a very high potential payoff,” Kip Thorne, a LIGO co-founder and a gravitational physicist at the California Institute of Technology, said during the press event. “And we are here today with a great triumph—a whole new way to observe the universe.”

Tapping Secret
Have you ever wondered how you can quickly and easily get rid of your physical and emotional blocks? Try Tapping.
Tapping, as with other healing techniques is not 100% effective 100% of the time. But it does help many conditions. And yes, you actually have to tap these points. Even if you don't feel 100% improvement the first time, you will notice immediate shift in your state of being.
I've been using this technique with some of my clients with good results. For a continued improvement, I strongly suggest you keep Tapping.
You can learn to do Tapping on this video. Enjoy!
