PELUKLAH ISTERI ANDA

Seorang suami yang memeluk isterinya untuk sekurang-kurangnya 10 saat setiap pagi akan panjang umurnya lima tahun.
Pakar motivasi Datuk Dr. Mohd. Fadzilah Kamsah berkata, fakta berdasarkan kajian oleh seorang pakar di Jerman mengenai hubungan antara sentuhan dan tahap kesihatan.

``Seseorang itu boleh panjang umur jika memeluk isterinya setiap hari
kerana pelukan dan sentuhan boleh menyebabkan tubuh manusia mengeluarkan pelbagai hormon termasuk endorfin yang baik untuk kesihatan tubuh.

``Bagaimanapun, sebagai seorang Islam kita tidak harus lupa ajal dan maut terletak di tangan Allah,'' katanya ketika memberi syarahan bertajuk "Perkahwinan dan Seks: Penawar dan Rawatan Bagi Banyak Penyakit" di Persidangan Ketiga Perubatan Daripada Perspektif Islam anjuran Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya di Hotel Sheraton Subang di sini hari ini.

Hormon endorfin adalah sejenis bahan kimia semula jadi yang bertindak sebagai penahan sakit dan mengurangkan keresahan. Jelasnya, selain mempunyai kesan positif dari segi saintifik dan kesihatan sentuhan, pelukan dan gurau senda antara suami dan isteri juga merupakan sunah Rasulullah S.A.W.
Tambah beliau, ada kajian di Amerika Syarikat (AS) juga mendapati pelukan suami dapat mengurangkan tahap kolesterol dan meningkatkan kesihatan isteri.

``Oleh itu suami yang inginkan isterinya menurunkan berat badan digalakkan peluk isterinya lebih kerap,'' katanya disambut dengan gelak ketawa oleh peserta persidangan itu.

Jelas beliau, hubungan seks dalam penuh rasa kasih sayang juga dapat membantu pasangan untuk awet muda dan berketerampilan menarik.

``Wanita yang mempunyai kehidupan seks yang baik dan bahagia akan lebih cenderung untuk menghiasi diri,'' kata Fadzilah.

P.s: ada sebabnya Nabi SAW menggalakkan umatnya berkahwin .

Seks adalah Multivitamin?

Bila Anda enggan melakukan hubungan seks kerana sedang sakit kepala, maka segeralah mencari alasan lain yang lebih masuk akal. Perlu diketahui bahawa melakukan hubungan seks itu justru boleh menghilangkan sakit kepala.

Tidak percaya? Mari semak ... beberapa penjelasan ilmiah di bawah ini. Mari kita berbicara sedikit ilmiah bagaimana Seks boleh menghilangkan sakit kepala.

Sesaat setelah orgasme, otak akan memerintahkan tubuh untuk mengeluarkan hormon pembunuh rasa sakit. Hormon itu adalah hormon yang bekerja dan memiliki efek seperti morfin. Secara awam mungkin boleh diartikan bahwa semakin banyak orgasme, maka semakin banyak "ubat sakit kepala" yang dikeluarkan.

Hubungan seks juga boleh membuat Anda lebih peka. Daya cium Anda akan meningkat seiring frekuensi hubungan seks. Perlu diketahui bahwa saraf-saraf penciuman dalam hidung, akan dipacu bekerja ganda ketika Anda sedang bergairah. Hal ini terjadi kerana aliran darah menuju ke hidung meningkat.

What you should know about insurance?

What is insurance?
When you buy an insurance policy by paying a premium to an insurance company, you enter into a contract with the company, and the company undertakes to pay you a fixed sum of money on the happening of an event. What are the types of insurance?
There are many types of insurance to protect you from all kinds of risks but the two most common types are life insurance and motor insurance. What is a third party policy / comprehensive policy?
These policies refer to motor insurance only. Third Party Policy - If you drive a car and knock into B's car, under third-party insurance, your insurance company will be liable to pay for B's death / injuries and damages to B's car only.

Comprehensive Policy - If the same thing happens and you have a comprehensive policy, you are covered for B's death / injuries and damages to his car and also damages to your own car. What do I do when I fill in a proposal form?
When filling in proposal forms, you must disclose all material facts within your knowledge. A material fact is one which will influence the insurer to either accept or reject your proposal.

In life insurance, facts of your health and occupation are material facts. In motor insurance, your accident record is material.

What if the insurance agent makes mistakes or fills in the wrong particulars?
Even if this happens through no fault of yours, the insurance company can reject the contract. So always read what is filled in very carefully. What is a cover note?
When you pay your first premium, the agent issues a cover note as a temporary protection while the company decides whether to cancel or accept your proposal. It expires either after the expiry date on the note itself or when your proposal is rejected or when the company issues the policy. What should I do when considering buying a policy?
Always read and understanding all the term and conditions of the policy.

Do not be pressured into taking a policy by the insurance agents. Only do so if you know what the policy is about and if you need it. However, you must under the law have motor insurance.

Once you have such a policy, you must be punctual in the payments of your premiums.
If you take too many policies, the company may be suspicious and may cancel your policy. What do I do when I meet with an accident?
Inform your insurance company in writing within 14 days of any loss or damage. When there is a police case against you and you are summoned to court, do not plead guilty but inform your insurance company about this at once.

If not, the company may not be liable to indemnify you when there is a claim against you for damages to the other person's vehicle.

Points to ponder
		Do you have a motor / life insurance policy?
		Have you read the terms and conditions of the policy?
		Did you know that you are bound by the numerous terms and condition?

Doomsday Vault

Sebuah bangunan sangat kuat yang dibangun di Kutub Utara untuk menyimpan biji-bijian dari seluruh dunia resmi difungsikan. Fasilitas yang disebut sebagai Kubah Kiamat (Doomsday Vault) ini dibuat di dalam sebuah gunung beku di Kepulauan Svalbard, Norwegia, 1100 kilometer dari kutub utara. Kubah ini akan berfungsi untuk menyimpan biji-bijian dari seluruh dunia guna melindungi plasma nutfah. Harapannya, jika terjadi bencana besar yang melanda dunia, biji-bijian yang disimpan di kubah itu akan bisa menjadi sumber penyelamat manusia sebelum terjadi kelaparan.
Karena fungsi sebagai penyelamat manusia, maka kubah itu diberi nama Kubah Kiamat (Doomsday Vault). Kubah tersebut terletak di dalam sebuah gunung beku di Kepulauan Svalbard, Norwegia, 1100 kilometer dari Kutub Utara.

Dalam pernyataannya, Perdana Menteri Norwegia Jens Stoltenberg menyebut bahwa Svalbard Global Seed Vault merupakan kebijakan penyelamatan kami. “Ini adalah ‘Bahtera Nuh’ untuk melindungi keragaman biologi generasi masa depan,” ujar Jens Stoltenberg dalam upacara peresmian kubah itu. Acara yang monumental tersebut juga dihadiri oleh Presiden Komisi Eropa, Jose Manual Barroso, dan penerima Nobel Perdamaian 2004, Wangari Maathai, dari Kenya. Setelah diresmikan, kubah yang berada di dalam perut gunung sedalam 127,5 meter ini akan menyimpan cadangan bibit dari ratusan bank benih dari seluruh dunia. Ruangan di dalamnya dapat memuat 4,5 juta sampel benih. Kubah yang pembangunannya memakan biaya US$9,1 juta-hasil kerja sama Global Crop Diversity Trust, lembaga yang didanai badan PBB untuk urusan pangan atau FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) dan Biodiversity Internasional yang berbasis di Roma, Italia-diharapkan benar-benar bisa jadi solusi masa depan demi kelangsungan kehidupan manusia.

Granny give bith yp twins

A 70-YEAR-OLD Indian woman has become the world's oldest mum after giving birth to twins.

Omkari Panwar, the wife of a retired farmer, delivered a boy and girl by caesarean section on Friday.

The frail pensioner, who has two adult daughters and five grandchildren, underwent IVF treatment to produce a male heir to the family's smallholdings.

Her husband, Charan Singh Panwar, 77, mortgaged his land, sold his buffalos, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan to finance the treatment.

"At last we have a son and heir," he said. "We prayed to God, went to saints and visited religious places to pray for an heir.

"We kept no stone unturned and God has rewarded us. The treatment cost me a fortune but the birth of a son makes it all worthwhile. I can die a happy man and a proud father."

Record

The twins, born one-month premature and weighing only two pounds each are healthy and expected to survive, according to doctors at Jaswant Roy Speciality Hospital.

Omkari, who has no birth certificate and does not know the day she was born, uses the date of India's independence in 1947 to guess her age.

She said she was nine when the British Raj left India meaning she is now 70.

She lives in Muzaffarnagar, seven hours drive north of the capital New Delhi.

Romanian Adriana Iliescu, who gave birth to a daughter, aged 66 in 2005, is the world's previous oldest mother.

After being told she had beaten the record by four years, Omkari said: "If I am the world's oldest mother it means nothing to me. I just want to see my new babies and care for them while I am still able."

Gynaecologist Nisha Malik, who performed an emergency operation on the 70-year-old said: "I was shocked when this old lady told me she was pregnant. I have been practising medicine for 20 years and I have never heard of such a case."

Apa itu Wahabi??

'Fahaman Wahabi Berasaskan Pemikiran Ibnu Taimiyyah' Oleh: Ghafani Awang Teh (JAKIM)

Gerakan Wahabi diasaskan oleh Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab At-Tamimi (1703 – 1791 M) lahir di Uyaynah utara Riyadh di daerah Nejad Arab Saudi. Bapanya adalah seorang qadhi di Nejad yang berpegang kepada akidah Ahli Sunnah wal-Jamaah. Selain berguru dengan bapanya beliau juga berguru dengan ulama-ulama Ahlu Sunnah Wal-Jamaah di Mekah dan Madinah. Gurunya yang terkenal di Madinah ialah Syeikh Muhammad Hayat yang menulis kitab Al-Hashiyah ‘Ala Sahih al-Bukhari.

Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab merupakan seorang ulama’ yang banyak dipengaruhi Mazhab Hanbali tetapi pegangan tauhidnya berasaskan fikrah Ibnu Taimiyyah dan Ibnu Qayyim yang juga bermazhab Hanbali. Beliau tertarik dengan pemikiran dua pemikir dan cuba menghidupkan kemabli konsep pemikiran Ibnu Taimiyyah dan Ibnu Qayyim.

Ibnu Taimiyyah ( 1263 – 1328 M) adalah seorang pemikir besar umat Islam. Pemikiran Ibnu Taimiyyah menimbulkan bantahan beberapa ulama berfahaman akidah Ahli Sunnah Wal-Jamaah yang sedang menguasai pemikiran akidah pada masa itu sehingga ia di penjara, dilarang menulis dalam penjara dan akhirnya meninggal dunia dalam penjara di Damshik Syiria. Ibnu Qayyim (1292 – 1350 M) adalah juga murid kepada Ibnmu Taimiyyah.

Secara umumnya Syeikh Mohammad bin Abdul Wahab muncul ketika pengaruh Mazhab Hanbali sedang merosot dan umat Islam pada masa itu banyak melakukan pencemaran akidah seperti khurafat, bid’ah dan wakil gabenor Turki pula terlibat dengan rasuah. Beliau telah melancarkan reformasi dan pembaharuan di semenanjung Arab dalam usaha membersihkan mengembalikan umat Islam kepada ajaran sebenar al-Quran dan Hadis Sahih Rasulullah s.a.w. Usahanya mendapat sokongan beberapa pemimpin kabilah Arab di Nejad.

Berasaskan gerakan reformasi inilah maka ia beruasaha menghapuskan rasuah, segala macam bid’ah, khurafat dan pelbagai perbuatan yang membawa kepada syirik. Penegak-penegak fahaman Wahabi ini juga menamakan fahaman mereka sebagai kumpulan Salafi iaitu kumpulan yang tidak terikat dengan mana-mana mazhab seperti mana yang berlaku di zaman Rasulullah dan kepimpinan sahabat-sahabat selepasnya.

Bagaimana pun terdapat juga penganalisis politik Arab bahawa gerakan Wahabi ini lahir sebagai usaha untuk membebaskan bangsa Arab dari pemerintahan Kerajaan Uthmaniah Turki yang menguasai negara Arab pada masa itu. Muhammad bin Saud (pengasas pemerintah Kerajaan Arab Saudi sekarang) telah memimpin kabilah Arab dan mendapat sokongan British berjaya memerintah Arab Saudi. Muhammad bin Saud dan pengasas fahaman Wahabi itu telah bersatu dalam usaha mengukuhkan kepentingan masing-masing dan usaha mereka berjaya. Kerajaan Uthmaniah Turki gagal mengawal kebangkitan Muhammad bin Saud dan perkembangan gerakan Wahabi kerana sibuk memnperkukuhkan penyebaran Islam di Eropah.

Menurut sumber sejarah ulama Mekah dan Madinah pada awalnya menentang fahaman Wahabi di mana berlaku isu kafir mengkafir yang hebat di antara ulama Ahli Sunnah Wal-Jamaah dengan ulama Wahabi. Bagaimana pun gerakan Wahabi berjaya menawan dua tempat suci itu maka bermulalah fahaman itu bertapak kukuh.

Pada prinsipnya fahaman Wahabi ini membuat terjemahan serta tafsiran al-Quran dan hadis sebulat-bulatnya mengikut fahaman pemimpin mereka serta ditegaskan dengan pendirian keras pergerakan itu. Mereka juga dikatakan menolak fahaman 4 Mazhab utama serta pegangan Ahli Sunnah Wal-Jamaah.

Menurut K.H Sirajudin Abbas seorang ulama besar Indonesia dalam buku 40 Soal-Jawab Agama menyatakan konsep moden fahaman Wahabi antaranya adalah seperti berikut:

. Dalam mempelajari ilmu Usuludin hendaklah berpegang kepada fahaman yang diasaskan oleh Ibnu Taimiyyah.

. Di dalam amalan fiqh pula tidak berpegang kepada mana-mana mazhab malah boleh menampal antara satu sama lain (Talfiq).

. Berpegang kepada sumber al-Quran dan hadis sahih sahaja tanpa berpegang kepada Ijmak dan Qias.

. Melarang keras umat Islam berdoa melalui tawassul (perantaraan).

. Melarang ziarah kubur walaupun maqam Rasulullah s.a.w. Kerajaan Arab Saudi membenarkan Jemaah Haji dan Umrah menziarah Maqam Rasulullah itu adalah atas dasar menziarahi Masjid Nabawi.

. Menghancurkan tugu-tugu peringatan kerana semua itu menjadikan umat Islam syirik.

. Melarang membaca qasidah dan berzanji yang memuji Rasulullah s.a.w. tahlil dan seumpamanya.

. Melarang umat Islam mengadakan sambutan hari-hari kebesaran Islam seperti Maulid Nabi, Isra’ Mikraj dan lain-lain.

Melarang umat Islam belajar sifat 20 dan seumpamanya.

. Fahaman Asa’ari iaitu fahaman Ahlu Sunnah Wal-Jamaah dibuang jauh-jauh.

. Imam dilarang membaca Bismillah pada permulaan Fatihah.

. Tidak boleh membaca wirid-wirid yang memuji Rasulullah.

. Tidak boleh melagu-lagukan lafaz al-Quran dan laungan azan tetapi boleh baca dengan lurus sahaja.

. Menghadakan majlis zikir secara berjemaah dilarang.

. Amalan tariqah dilarang sama sekali.

. Amalan berwirid selepas solat berjemaah dilarang keras.

Fahaman Wahabi menjadi pegangan Kerajaan Arab Saudi yang menguasai Masjidil Haram Mekah dam Masjid Nabawi Madinah. Berdasarkan penguasaan dua tempat suci ini maka fahaman Wahabi terus bertapak kukuh. Malah Kerajaan Arab Saudi menjadi negara Islam paling banyak menyumbangkan dana-dana untuk perkembangan dakwah dan syiar Islam di seluruh dunia.

Di negara kita Kerajaan Perlis Indera Kayangan satu-satunya negeri yang tidak berpegang kepada mana-mana mazhab. Mereka mendakwa berpegang kepada al-Quran dan hadis sahih sepenuhnya seperti mana yang diamalkan di Arab Saudi. Terdapat kalangan pelajar Malaysia yang belajar di Arab Saudi dan mahir dalam selok belok hukum tertarik dengan fahaman Wahabi dan mengembangkannya di Malaysia.

Penerapan fahaman Wahabi di kalangan umat Islam di negara ini yang sejak berkurun lama berakar umbi dengan Akidah Ahli Sunnah Wal-Jamaah telah menimbulkan salah faham di kalangan umat Islam. Manakala bagi orang awam yang kurang mahir dalam selok belok mazhab maka lebih baik bertaqlid dengan pegangan mazhab sedia ada.

Hakikatnya fahaman Wahabi tidak membawa pemikiran baru tentang akidah. Mereka hanya mengamalkan apa yang telah dikemukakan oleh Ibnu Taimiyyah dalam bentuk yang lebih keras berbanding apa yang diamalkan oleh Ibnu Taimiyyah sendiri. Perkembangan fahaman Wahabi dan penerapan mazhab lain dalam masyarakat Islam di negara ini tidak dapat dielakan kerana kesan pengglobalan ilmu di dunia hari ini.

Malah dalam penghayatan muamalah dan sisitem perbankan Islam di negara ini dan di dunia sekarang banyak menggunakan kaedah yang terdapat dalam Mazhab Hanafi.

Kesimpulannya dari segi tauhid fahaman Wahabi bukan ajaran baru dan juga tidak termasuk antara 73 cabang ajaran sesat seperti mana yang dijelaskan ulama berdasarkan huraian hadis penjelasan 73 ajaran sesat itu.

CUTE CHILLIES - WOMEN WILL LIKE IT

The world’s most offensive-looking plant

When I first saw its picture, I thought it’s just another photoshopped hoax, but digging deeper, I was surprised to discover that it’s a real plant, usually called the Peter Pepper, scientific name capsicum annuum var. annuum ‘Peter’.It’s native to Louisiana and Texas .

It’s been called many other names, including Chilli Willy and Penis Chilli; and has been judged “Most Pornographic Pepper” by Organic Gardening Magazine...

Not surprising, since it looks like so:Apparently it has always been grown more as an ornamental thing, rather than to be eaten, although it’s perfectly edible.By the way, a farmer who specializes in gro wing them says they can grow up to 18" long!

Sort of brings a tear to your eyes, doesn't it?

$20.1 billion home by Mukesh Ambani

Mumbai - Mukesh Ambani, India's wealthiest resident, is building a 60-story vertical palace in Mumbai, complete with a helipad, swimming pool and space to park about 170 cars.

Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries and No. 14 on Forbes' list of the world's richest people--with a fortune we estimate at $20.1 billion--is reportedly spending $1 billion for the home in posh south Mumbai.

"Like many families with the means to do so, the Ambanis wanted to build a custom home. They consulted with architecture firms Perkins + Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates, the designers behind the Mandarin Oriental, based in Dallas and Los Angeles, respectively," the report said. "Plans were then drawn up for what will be the world's largest and most expensive home: a 27-story skyscraper in downtown Mumbai with a cost nearing 2 billion dollars."

According to Forbes, Mukesh, along with his wife Nita Ambani and three children, currently live in a 22-story Mumbai tower.

Facts about this ‘house’..

3 helipads on top. Mumbai corporation has not given permission for making this operational yet.
- Hanging gardens within the structure
- Swimming pool within the structure
- A two storey Health centre
- Parking space for 168 cars (6 floors). I initially thought that meant there will be a mini office in
the building but apparently that is not the case. All these cars will belong to Mukesh Ambani!
Just in case you are interested, he drives a 5 crore Maybach now.
- A floor exclusively for servicing these automobiles within the building.
- A floor for Home theatre – sitting capacity of 50
- The house will have a staff of 600 (sic) to do the maintenance activities. That gives a ratio of 1:100 for people living in the house and those who are paid to take care of it. The six lucky (?) ones are the man himself, his wife, his 3 children and his mother Kokilaben. The family will be moving in from their old home ‘Sea Wind’ which was a 14 floor building at Cuffe Parade.

Eclipse Photos

The solar eclipse of July 22, 2009 was the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century, lasting as much as 6 minutes and 39 seconds in some places. It caused tourist interest in eastern China, India and Nepal.

The eclipse was part of Saros series 136, as was the record-setting solar eclipse of July 11, 1991. The next event from this series will be on August 2, 2027. The exceptional duration was a result of the Moon being near perigee, with the apparent diameter of the Moon 8% larger than the Sun (magnitude 1.080) and the Earth being near aphelion where the Sun appeared slightly smaller.

This was the second in the series of three eclipses in a one-month period, with the lunar eclipse on July 7 and the lunar eclipse on August 6.

VOTE BREAST CANCER CAMPAIGN : 10 Essential Things To Do Before Starting Treatment For Breast Cancer

VOTE FOR ME: BREAST CANCER CAMPAIGN

Going through treatment for breast cancer is like going on a journey – it takes some planning, requires some decisions, and has a timeline. Before you embark on your journey through treatment, take time to prepare.

1. Get Out Of Town

Set up a weekend getaway to some special place, and take time to rest and decompress. Receiving your breast cancer diagnosis and making treatment decisions has been stressful – now is the time to take a mental and emotional break from all that. You might spend time in spiritual reflection, attend a yoga retreat, or indulge yourself at a spa! Spend the time alone, or invite loved ones to come along with you. Make this some high-quality time for you. Once you begin treatment, you will be following a strict schedule of appointments, and travel may be restricted due to side effects such as neutropenia (low immune system). So don't run away from treatment, but do get out of town for a break!

2. Eat Comfort Foods

Now is the time to dine on your favorite foods – grandmother's pear preserves, your father's special meat loaf, that special tres leches cake that your neighbor makes. Eat the foods that have nostalgic fragrances, are highly spiced, or are usually saved for special times. Is there a café that is your special place? Take a loved one there and order your favorite meal. Treatments for breast cancer sometimes affect your senses of smell and taste, and reduce your appetite. Enjoy your most loved foods now, and stock up on good culinary memories!

3. Stock Your Freezer

While you're making your comfort foods, put aside an extra batch of them in your freezer. Whip up healthy entrees, casseroles, savory soups, and wrap up some breads to serve with them. Be sure to seal food securely, to prevent freezer burn, and put labels and dates on each container. If you don't like to cook, visit the freezer section of your grocery store and load up on some dishes that will keep you going through the first two or three weeks of treatment. This way, if you want to spend more time recovering from treatments than cooking, you will always have enough food on hand that can be reheated and served.

4. Have Dental Work Done

Tell your dentist that you will be having chemo, and then make an appointment for a dental exam two or more weeks before your first infusion. Be sure your dental health is up to date, before starting chemotherapy. If your mouth is very healthy before chemo, you'll have fewer or milder oral side effects. Have a regular cleaning, be current on your x-rays, and get any fillings or other maintenance done now. Ask for any special instructions on mouth care during chemotherapy. Even if you wear dentures, have your gums and jaws examined. Have your dentures adjusted, if they don't fit properly. Buy an extra-soft toothbrush and alcohol-free mouthwash.

5. Get Ahead Of Hair Loss

Chemotherapy can cause the loss of your hair, but you can be ready – make plans for dealing with temporary baldness. What suits your situation, comfort level, style, and budget? If you plan to purchase wigs, hats, or scarves, do so before your first infusion. Hair may take as long as three weeks to start thinning, but when it does, you will be ready! If you have a local shop that caters to chemo patients, take a friend, have a tour of their products and try on different styles. Think about whether you want to go naturally bald when your hair takes a vacation, or if you want to shave it off. Making these decisions ahead of time gives you some space in which to process any emotions you may have about chemo-induced hair loss.

6. Find Yourself Some Comfy Clothing

There's no need to show up at treatments dressed for the runway. Buy some loose, comfortable clothing. Remember that you may need to undress partially for treatments, so choose quick-escape clothing that won't dislodge your wig (if you're wearing one). If you're going to have breast radiation, you may prefer to wear soft layers instead of bras. And speaking of bras, look into front-closing bras, in case fatigue or neuropathy makes reaching behind your back a chore. Pick out some comfortable shoes with a wide toe (for good circulation) and a good tread.

7. Line Up Chauffeurs And Visitors

Once your treatment schedule is mapped out, you can decide whether or not you want to go it alone, or with a buddy. If you think you'd like to have someone drive for you, or just have a familiar person to visit with during treatment sessions, line up volunteers! Most clinics are happy to make room for an extra person, especially if it helps a patient pass the time. You may also want to schedule at-home visitors for those days when you are recovering from treatment. It's nice to have someone to come by and check in with you, or keep you company. Hint: choose people who are good cooks, and have cheerful dispositions.

8. Appoint Someone As Your Advocate

Your advocate, a family member or friend, should be a person who will go to appointments with you. An advocate may help you fill out paperwork, take notes, ask questions that you might forget to ask, and speak up for you if you're feeling unwell. A good advocate will also be able to guard you from unnecessary attention, screen phone calls, or discourage visits from negative, but well-meaning people. An extraordinary advocate may drive you to the hospital for surgery, and sleep in a chair by your bed so you will never be alone. Choose an advocate for their dependability, willingness to serve, and compassionate heart.

9. Elect Someone To Keep Friends And Family Up To Date

Here's a job for the person in your life who is a good communicator – let this person be your press secretary. Discuss how much detail will be given out, and to whom, and how the news will be broadcast. If this person is web-savvy, ask them to make you a website to which readers may subscribe for updates (like CaringBridge), or to send out a weekly email to your chosen supporters. Perhaps another person would be in charge of a phone call chain, alerting others to your news and needs for meals, rides, visitors, or encouragement. This way, you don't have to tell your story over and over, and you can concentrate on recovery. Pick discreet people who have a good amount of respect for your privacy.

10. Understand Your Insurance Coverage

Before you have surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or any other therapies relating to your cancer diagnosis, call your insurance company and let them know what you're dealing with. Ask if your surgeons, anesthesiologists, doctors, therapists, hospitals, clinics, and medications are covered. Be sure you understand your deductible requirements, and how the fiscal year is reckoned. Find out if you or your clinic will be filing claims, and what the procedures are, so you can be reimbursed quickly. Don't skip treatments because of financial hardship – you can get help – but you may have to ask. Talk to the financial officers at your clinic if you have any other questions, or think you may need assistance.

Preparations Will Pay Off

No matter which treatments you may have, if you have prepared, gathered your supporters in advance, and done your homework, your journey will be easier. Cancer treatment challenges all aspects of a person - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Having the resources in place before they are needed will spare you from dealing with these decisions while you're in the fight. Plan now, save your energy for the battle. Most of all, plan on surviving breast cancer!

Ranking Of Country Strength

The GFP final ranking is based on an in-house formula used to generate an average of all applicable statistics found on this website when compared against each country with applicable modifiers (bonuses and penalties) added to each nations score to present a more accurate list. The last major statistics review was in February of 2009. The GFP ranking list was updated in May of 2009. Changes to the list now include factors for current/recent military experiences, training levels and equipment quality. Denmark, South Africa and Georgia are new-adds bringing the country total to 42 nations.

Enjoy the numbers! It is hardly a super-accurate scientific measurement of military strengths but still entertaining to consider at the very least.

Rank 1-10 Observations: The United States (GFP formula value of 0.184) remains the undisputed leader of our list thanks to their staying "active" in global hotspots, showcasing the world's largest navy and continuing to poor in gobs of money into defense. Our formula sees China edge out Russia but only by the slimmest of margins (0.238 versus 0.241 respectively) with an edge in available manpower and financial capital. France (0.636) and Germany (0.672) are relative equals for the most part but the GFP formula gives a slight edge to France thanks to an aircraft carrier and capable navy as well as a bump in defense spending. Brazil (0.756) is the most powerful South American country on the list thanks to available manpower and a capable navy. Japan (0.920) is a "sleeper" power that sneaks into the top ten with a good navy, strong logistical infrastructure and capital.

Rank 11-20 Observations: Our formula provides for a good disparity between North and South Korea, placing South well-ahead of the North thanks to better infrastructure and capital. Mexico's placement this high on the list is interesting to note - it scored a good balance across the board in all major categories. Israel finally gets a proper placement on this year's list - just out of the top ten - sporting a strong land army with equally strong training, modern equipment and recent combat experience.

Rank 21-30 Observations: No surprises here. A basic collection of modern armies of generally equal strengths.

Rank 31-42 Observations: The bottom of the list features two rebuilding nations (Iraq and Afghanistan) as well as two "recovering" nations (Georgia and Lebanon) along with powers that generally stay relatively quiet.

Old Rank Order (from #1 - #39): USA, Russia, China, India, Germany, France, Japan, Turkey, Brazil, UK, Italy, South Korea, Indonesia, Mexico, Canada, Iran, Egypt, North Korea, Spain, Pakistan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Argentina, Sweden, Israel, Greece, Taiwan, Syria, Philippines, Poland, Ukraine, Norway, Iraq, Libya, Venezuela, Lebanon, Nepal and Afghanistan.

Canned Fish Mouths.

Canned meats generally don't put a rumbly in our tumbly, but in a pinch, perhaps in the event of a major cataclysm, we'd throw down with some Vienna Sausages. However, this canned chicken takes the canned-meat cake. The impossibly tiny chicken crammed into this 50-ounce can slides out with a generous portion of gelatinous goop, or rather, "delicious gravy.
