Also, "sexually optimistic" individuals who acquired physical limitations they didn't have ten years before – such as pain that made it harder to lift groceries or exercise – reported having more frequent sex than people who had lower sexual expectations and no such limitations. ![]() Participants who were optimistic about their sex lives reported having significantly more frequent and more satisfying sex than those who had lower expectations. Their findings seem to demonstrate the power of positive thinking. Researchers then checked in with the participants a decade later. Īs part of the MIDUS (Midlife in the US) study, hundreds of partnered adults ages 45 and up were asked to rate how satisfying they expected their sex lives to be 10 years in the future.

![]() ![]() ![]() And nowadays, it’s as easy as typing “Make an essay for me” in live chat. Luckily, you don’t have to suffer in silence or give up on your dream of a college degree. You’re not alone, and it’s perfectly normal to struggle in a new environment and buckle under the weight of elevated expectations. So don’t feel bad if your thoughts go from “Can someone write my paper?” to “Write me a paper asap!” within the first few weeks of the college term. If you try to stay on top of all your responsibilities, you’ll likely burn out or suffer an anxiety attack sooner rather than later. ![]() You will soon forget about your plans to discover the party scene, visit your parents every other weekend, or find your soulmate on campus. Not only is it your first attempt at independent life free from parents’ oversight, but it’s also a completely new level of academic requirements and independent study many aren’t ready for.Īnd if you’re an overachiever or a perfectionist, keeping up with all the classes, assignments, extracurriculars, and side gigs will keep you up most nights. After all, college is an eye-opening experience for most students. If you’re suddenly wondering, “Can someone do my paper for me?”, there’s likely a very good reason for that. ![]() ![]() ![]() Memorable and interesting quotes from great books. Royally Screwed by Emma Chase About BookQuotersīookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, ― Dave Eggers, quote from You Shall Know Our Velocity! I could be taken and eaten by these wet alleyways without protest.” I had been on a plane! A tiny percentage of all those who'd ever lived would ever be on an airplane- and had seen Africa rushing at me like something alive and furious. ![]() ![]() The rock-running in Senegal was enough, the kids and their bonjours- that alone would prepare me for the end if I couldn't be thankful enough having been there I was sick and ungrateful, and I would not be ungrateful, not ever, I would always know the gifts given me, I would count them and keep them safe! I had had so much so I would be able to face the knife in the alley and accept it all, smiling serenely, thankful that I'd be taken while riding the very crest of everything. To be ready you need to be tired, and you need to have seen a great deal, or what you consider to have been a great deal- we all have such different capacities, are able to absorb and sustain vastly different quantities of visions and pain- and at that moment I started thinking that I had seen enough, that in general I'd had my fill and that in terms of visual stimulation the week thus far has shown me enough and that I was sated. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When I realised recently that I didn’t recognise its synopsis, I decided a reappraisal was in order. I first read The Word for World is Forest about thirty years ago it didn’t particularly resonate with me at the time, and I think I subsequently confused it in my memory with her YA novel Threshold (also known by the title The Beginning Place), which I read at about the same time. I first encountered her writing through her ‘Earthsea’ trilogy (as it was then), but have also read many others of her books including the avowed classics The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed.

The two leading manifestations of IHD are angina and acute myocardial infarction. IHD is the single largest cause of death in the developed countries and is one of the main contributors to the disease burden in developing countries. Other causes of death, such as injuries, respiratory infections, nutritional deficiencies, and HIV/AIDS, collectively still play a predominant role in certain regions, but even in those areas CVD is now a significant cause of mortality. ![]() Nearly 50 percent of all deaths in high-income countries and about 28 percent of deaths in low- and middle-income countries are the result of CVD ( Mathers and others 2001). By 2001, CVD had become the leading cause of death in the developing world, as it has been in the developed world since the mid 1900s ( Mathers and others 20a). Murray and Lopez (1996) predicted that CVD will be the leading cause of death and disability worldwide by 2020 mainly because it will increase in low- and middle-income countries. About 80 percent of the global burden of CVD death occurs in low- and middle-income countries. At the beginning of the 20th century, CVD was responsible for less than 10 percent of all deaths worldwide, but by 2001 that figure was 30 percent. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading Let Me Tell You What I Mean: A new collection of essays. ![]() Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets.
