1. Deja vu
Deja vu is an experience of having seen or experienced a new situation previously. It feels like if the event has already happened before. The experience is usually accompanied by a strong sense of familiarity and a sense of paradox or bizarre. The “previous” experience is usually attributed to a dream, but sometimes there is a constant feeling that it really has happened in the past.
2. Deja Vecu
Deja vecu is what most people experience when they think they are having a deja vu. Deja vu is when one has a feeling that he has seen something before, whereas deja vecu is an experience of having seen an event before, but with great detail as to recognize the smells and sounds. This also is usually accompanied by a very strong sense of knowledge about what will happen next.
3. Deja senti
Deja senti is a phenomenon of having already felt something. The phrase “I have felt it before” perfectly captures deja senti. It is only a mental phenomenon and seldom remains in our memory later. Many epileptic patients often experience deja senti.
4. Deja Visite
Deja visite is a less common experience and includes an unexplained knowledge of a new place. For example, you may know the location around you (a new city or a landscape) although you have never been there before.
5. Jamais Vu
Jamais Vu describes a familiar situation that we do not recognize. It is often considered to be the opposite phenomenon of deja vu. The observer does not recognize the situation although it is known that he has experienced it before.
6. Presque Vu
Presque Vu is very similar to the feeling in the “tip of the tongue”. When someone is ready to say something but his brain gets stuck and a word does not come out.
7. L’esprit de l’escalier
L’esprit de l’escalier is when a smart thought comes to you when it is too late.
8. Capgras Delusion
Capgras Delusion is a phenomenon when a person believes that a close friend or a family member has been replaced with an identically looking one. This illusion is often met in people with schizophrenia.
9. Fregoli Delusion
Fregoli Delusion is a rare brain phenomenon which makes a person believe that different people are the same person in various disguises.
10. Prosopagnosia
Prosopagnosia is a phenomenon in which a person is unable to recognize faces of people or objects he knows. People who have this disorder are usually able to use the other senses to identify individuals, such as the person’s perfume, the sound of his voice or his hairstyle.

1. First, regain your smile. A smile and a laugh aren’t the same thing, but they do live in the same neighborhood. Be sure to smile at simple pleasures — the sight of kids playing, a loved one or friend approaching, the successful completion of a task, the witnessing of something amazing or humorous. Smiles indicate that stress and the weight of the world haven’t overcome you. If your day isn’t marked by at least a few dozen, then you need to explore whether you are depressed or overly stressed.
2. Treat yourself to a comedy festival. Rent movies like Meet the Parents; Young Frankenstein; Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure; Monty Python and the Holy Grail; This Is Spinal Tap; Animal House; Blazing Saddles; Trading Places; Finding Nemo. Reward yourself frequently with the gift of laughter, Hollywood style.
3. Recall several of the most embarrassing moments in your life. Then find the humor in them. Now practice telling stories describing them in a humorous way. It might take a little exaggeration or dramatization, but that’s what good storytelling is all about. By revealing your vulnerable moments and being self-deprecating, you open yourself up much more to the humorous aspects of life.
4. Anytime something annoying and frustrating occurs, turn it on its head and find the humor. Sure, you can be angry at getting splashed with mud, stepping in dog poop, or inadvertently throwing a red towel in with the white laundry. In fact, that is probably the most normal response. But it doesn’t accomplish anything other than to put you in a sour mood. Better to find a way to laugh at life’s little annoyances. One way to do that: Think about it as if it happened to someone else, someone you like — or maybe someone you don’t. In fact, keep running through the Rolodex in your head until you find the best person you can think of to put in your current predicament. Laugh at him, then laugh at yourself!
5. Read the comics every day and cut out the ones that remind you of your life. Post them on a bulletin board or the refrigerator or anywhere else you can see them frequently.
6. Sort through family photographs and write funny captions or one-liners to go with your favorites. When you need a pick-me-up, pull out the album.
7. Every night at dinner, make family members share one funny or even embarrassing moment of their day.
8. When a person offends you or makes you angry, respond with humor rather than hostility. For instance, if someone is always late, say, “Well, I’m glad you’re not running an airline.” Life is too short to turn every personal affront into a battle. However, if you are constantly offended by someone in particular, yes, take it seriously and take appropriate action. But for occasional troubles, or if nothing you do can change the person or situation, take the humor response.
9. Check out the Top 10 list archive from David Letterman. You can find it at cbs.com.
10. Spend 15 minutes a day having a giggling session. Here’s how you do it: You and another person (partner, kid, friend, etc.) lie on the floor with your head on her stomach, and her head on another person’s stomach and so on (the more people the better). The first person says, “Ha.” The next person says, “Ha-ha.” The third person says, “Ha-ha-ha.” And so on. We guarantee you’ll be laughing in no time.
11. Read the activity listings page in the newspaper and choose some laugh-inducing events to attend. It could be the circus, a movie, a stand-up comic, or a funny play. Sometimes it takes a professional to get you to regain your sense of humor.
12. Add an item to your daily to-do list: Find something humorous. Don’t mark it off until you do it, suggests Jeanne Robertson, a humor expert and author of several books on the topic.
13. When you run into friends or coworkers, ask them to tell you one funny thing that has happened to them in the past couple of weeks. Become known as a person who wants to hear humorous true stories as opposed to an individual who prefers to hear gossip, suggests Robertson.
14. Find a humor buddy. This is someone you can call just to tell him something funny; someone who will also call you with funny stories of things he’s seen or experienced, says Robertson.
15. Exaggerate and overstate problems. Making the situation bigger than life can help us to regain a humorous perspective, says Patty Wooten, R.N., an award-winning humorist and author of Compassionate Laughter: Jest for the Health of It. Cartoon caricatures, slapstick comedy, and clowning articles are all based on exaggeration, she notes.
16. Develop a silly routine to break a dark mood. It could be something as silly as speaking with a Swedish accent (unless you are Swedish, of course).
17. Create a humor environment. Have a ha-ha bulletin board where you only post funny sayings or signs, suggests Allen Klein, an award-winning professional speaker and author of The Healing Power of Humor. His favorite funny sign: “Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.”
18. Experiment with jokes. Learn one simple joke each week and spread it around. One of Klein’s favorites relates to his baldness: “What do you call a line of rabbits walking backward? A receding hare line.”
19. Focus humor on yourself. “Because of my lack of hair,” Klein says, “I tell people that I’m a former expert on how to cure baldness.”

The concept of time was invented by humans and is based on the motion of matter. Time does not exist. Early man used sundials, then hourglasses, then clocks, and then watches in order that they may keep track of this imaginary mathematical concept. It was useful for planting crops, keeping track of what happens, etc. The apparent motion of the sun, moon, and stars was important in this process of timekeeping.
However, this concept of time has somewhat changed and has caused much confusion, especially among mathematical physicists. So much so, that they even speak about time as if ‘it’ were a physical object. Spacetime curvature, time dilation, traveling through time. All these theories reify the concept time, they claim that time is ‘something’ which can curve, dilate or be traveled through.
Well, all objects (matter) have shape. So if a mathematician is going to treat time like an object, then surely he should be able to draw a picture of it or show us a photograph. But of course then they will likely claim that their theories are just metaphors and that you shouldn’t take them literally. Well if that’s the case then what are they really talking about? What do these alleged metaphors symbolize, what do they mean? They mean nothing, they are absolute nonsense.
You can not travel through an abstract concept which doesn’t exist. There is no physical process which can explain how the motion of all matter in the universe can reverse back to it’s original position. Therefore it is impossible to “travel back in time”. The only way someone could be described as “traveling to the future” is if they froze their body in a machine and then had it thawed out later on.
Atomic clocks on GPS satellites are often used as ‘proof’ that there is something called time which can be distorted. However it is not the concept time which is changing it’s speed, it is the object clock. The so-called “cosmic microwave background radiation” clearly shows that there is a medium of subatomic particles. ‘Radiation’ is the motion of these particles. When a clock moves through this medium it will take longer for the atoms that comprise the atomic clock to move. Therefore it moves slower than a stationary clock. Moving clocks slow down because they are traveling through this medium and working more slowly. It’s not time that slows down. It’s the clocks.
In reality there is only objects moving around right now. The reason people have this convoluted “past, present, future” way of thinking is because we have the ability to memorize the locations of objects as they move.
So, to sum this up. Time is an abstract concept which is based on the motion of matter. Time does not exist. Only matter exists. It is irrational to claim that you can travel through concepts such as adventure, service, enmity and time. You can only ‘travel through’ a medium of matter such as air or water. Time is only an idea.

1. Trust
If you can’t trust someone, do you really want them to be in your life? Make sure you earn their trust by being open, honest and a good listener and friend.
2. Honesty
If you are always honest, then you prove you can be trusted. Honesty might be tough sometimes, and though the truth can hurt, knowing it can only make you better and stronger as a person, and a friend.
3. Time
As in, take the time to listen to your friends. Spend time with those you love, and take time out of your busy day to remind them just how much they mean to you.
4. Forgiveness
Forgiveness has a double benefit: You feel stronger for being the better person, and those who have wronged you feel better knowing that you have been able to forgive their sins. It’s a time tested trait that everyone needs to learn.
5. Compromise
No one always gets their own way. The ones that do probably don’t actually have any true friends, just hangers-on. A trait of true friendship is understanding that you aren’t always going to get your way, though sometimes you will. Give a little, get a lot.
6. Agree
As in, agree to disagree. Why keep fighting over something that will never be resolved? Get over it, forgive and move in with the knowledge that even through troubled times, you can still make your friendship work.
7. Communication
Communication is essential for understanding what is going on inside someone’s mind. No one knows what you are thinking until you let tell them. Keep the lines of communication open at all times, and you’ll be stronger for it.
8. Listen
Being a good listener is being able to listen without judging. If a friend needs to get something off their chest, just be there for them, and let them do the talking. When you need the same, they’ll be there for you.
9. Love
Learn to love without prejudice and without guilt. True love sees no borders and knows no boundaries.
10. Learn
Learn from your mistakes in your past. Learn how to love. Learn what makes your friends happy, and learn what it means to truly be a good friend.

1. Responsibility - You are solely responsible for both your happiness and your unhappiness. Decide today that you will no longer be a victim of circumstances. The power to make a choice in how you respond to life is the foundation for becoming a master of your inner world.
2. Clarity - Notice when you feel anxious, angry, resentful, isolated, or any other feeling of discomfort. Notice how there’s a thought attached to this feeling that revolves around blame, shame or pain. Ask yourself “Is this true?” As you bring awareness to the story you’ve created around a situation, you’ll find that the story dissolves. This practice stills ego’s chatter to bring clarity and peace.
3. Relaxation - Notice when your mind tightens into “I can’t” or “I won’t” and when your body tenses in fear or stress. Now breathe deeply and softly: consciously soften around the edges of your resistance. The more you let go and relax, the more life supports you by bringing joy, aliveness and creative flow to everything you do.
4. Presence - Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, choose to be absolutely present. This is especially important when faced with something challenging or painful. The more deeply present you can be, the closer you get to the silence of your being-nature. Action that is rooted in being is far more powerful than “mindless doing”.
5. Totality - Practice saying “YES” to every experience that comes your way. Become a “lover of what is”! Meeting everything with a wide open heart brings a deep intimacy to life that is nourishing to your soul. It’s also the birth of compassion, both for yourself and for the world.
6. Gratitude - Dig deep on a daily basis to find gratitude for the small things, and even for those things you would rather cast out from your life. Gratitude is far more powerful than denial or hate. Not only does it shine a light on the inner riches of your heart, but it also draws towards everything you need and deserve.
7. Forgiveness - Forgiveness isn’t about turning the other cheek and allowing abuse to continue. It’s about seeing through unconscious actions to the purity at the essence of all things. This is a tough practice, but one that has the power to transform your inner and outer reality. Holding on to hurt simply perpetuates more pain; letting it go allows love to heal your heart.
8. Nakedness - Practice being transparent: allow everything you experience to flow right through you. Not only will you develop a deep trust in life, but you will also develop the courage to be seen, warts and all. This “nakedness” allows authentic relationship to happen.
9. Service - Ask yourself with each decision and action you take “Am I serving my ego or am I serving my divine destiny?” The shift from self-gratification to having a higher mission accelerates your personal growth and aligns you to the creative power of the Universe. It’s the fire of passion that overcomes all inner and outer obstacles to serve the bigger picture; and it’s the key to true fulfillment.
10. Resoluteness - All the previous lessons are meaningless unless you take action. Whether you walk over mountain peaks or through valley lows, resolve to take one step at a time. Commit to keeping the flame of your inner radiance alive: it is the source of your eternal power!

There’s no capital punishment, and the longest jail term allowed is 21 years (a caveat: if a prisoner is deemed to still be a threat, his sentence can be extended in five-year blocks indefinitely, though it’s highly unlikely, according to Norwegian officials).
In Norway, rehabilitation is the guiding principle, not punishment — a somewhat difficult notion to swallow given the gravity and callousness of his crimes.
“Both society and the individual simply have to put aside their desire for revenge, and stop focusing on prisons as places of punishment and pain,” one Norwegian prison official told the Daily Mail. “Depriving a person of their freedom for a period of time is sufficient punishment in itself without any need whatsoever for harsh prison conditions.”
Norway’s newest jail may hold rapists and murderers, but Halden Prison — the country’s second largest and most secure facility — looks more like a posh sleepaway camp. In fact, architects say they purposely tried to avoid an “institutional feel.” When it opened in 2010, some news accounts called it the “most humane” prison in the world.
Indeed, one of the many perks at Halden is flat-screen televisions in inmates’ rooms.
Prisoners spend a lot of time out of their cells; exercise is encouraged. And in Halden, not only is there clean air but personal trainers. Here, a comely woman coach jogs alongside an inmate in the prison yard.
At Halden, the inmates can form their own band. And what’s more, they can lay down an album in the prison’s professional recording studio.
The well-stocked library at Halden contains not only books but magazines, CDs, and DVDs. What? No Crime and Punishment audiobook?
Guards don’t carry guns and are encouraged to be outgoing and friendly toward the inmates —
they eat together and play sports in mixed teams to create a sense of family, according to officials.
Sanitation worker nuzzles granddaughter on street, the brief tender moment of true love captured becoming famous on the internet
Internet post: Happiness and one’s position in society are unrelated
June 3rd, evening, Jin Yunzhong posted a photograph titled “Happiness” on the Fengniao.com discussion forum, featuring an elderly man wearing a sanitation worker vest sitting on the cement wall beside a roadside green belt, his hands cupping the face of a young girl, the two of them smiling and laughing as they touched their noses together.
The poster at the same time said that city cleaners/sanitation workers belong to a group of people who are considered at a very low level of society, who often are discriminated against, and even face safety risks. However, they have their own happiness, and as his grandchild sits on his knees kissing him, a smile and happiness is instantly written across his face.
May ganitong libro na mabibili sa National Bookstore. Nakita ko sya kanina at ninais kong bilhin, pero No Buying Books policy ako ngayon hanggang next-next year, kaya hindi ko binili.
Naintriga ako sa nilalaman ng libro dahil tinatangka nitong ipaliwanag ang mga misteryo at iskandalo na kinasasangkutan at nilikha ng Simbahang Katoliko, tulad ng Kamatayan ni Pope John Paul I, ang Inquisition (kung saan may naganap na genocide), kung bakit maraming debosyon o kulto si Mama Mary, at iba pa.
Hindi ko nirerekomenda ang librong ito sa mga taong may mahinang pananalig o yung mga taong hindi bukas ang isip tungkol sa mga bagay na ito. Kahawig halos ito ng librong The Da Vinci Code sa kontekstong pinapakita ang mga bagay na itinatago di umano ng Simbahang Katoliko.
Para sa akin, ang librong ito ay para sa mga taong may kataasan ang antas ng pag-iintindi at panghuhusga, sa mga taong may sapat na pinag-aralan sa larangan ng relihiyon at sa mga taong hindi bias ang pag-iisip.
Sana sa bakasyon makabili ako ng kopya nito.
Angelica Zambrano was shown the Kingdoms of Heaven and Hell, and the Return of Christ this is her video testimony translated in English She saw Michael Jackson in hell, she saw Selena Quintanilla Perez in hell, and Pope John Paul II in hell.
For a period of 23 hours, a young Ecuadorian girl named Angelica Zambrano was shown the Kingdoms of Heaven and Hell, and the Return of Christ. She witnessed Jesus weeping as He overlooked multitudes of souls lost forever, a world that has rejected Him, a Church that is mostly unprepared for Him, a people that have stopped witnessing to the lost, and an entertainment industry that even lures children to satan. She saw the Latina singer Selena Quintanilla Perez in hell. Selena told her to tell the people on earth not to listen to or sing her songs. She also saw Pope John Paul the second in hell. She testifies that Michael Jackson is in hell. She also saw kids in hell. She saw a vision of the rapture, and saw some pregnant women who were left on Earth but their babies were raptured out of their stomach.
She witnessed many of our esteemed cultural icons suffering in the Pit; singers, entertainers, and even a pope. Angelica was also shown how the Kingdom of Heaven is all wonderfully prepared and ready, an unimaginable glorious place, where no evil exists. Though Jesus is ONLY coming back for a Holy People, and many of God’s children will NOT be ready on that day, and will be left behind in a world that will fall apart. -aka.23 Horas Muertra This video is sure to be controversial, it has started a firestorm of discussions and argument all over South America. Now, finally translated into English, it will probably be just as contentious here. Many of you just won’t believe this.
This version is a closer word for word translation of Angelica Zambrano’s Testimony., than the Abridged Version called “Prepare to Meet Your God”
