7 ways stress can be good for you...
While chronic stress can damage your cognitive and physical health, these seven studies show how short-term or moderate stress can actually be healthy for your mind and body.
1. Lowers your risk of premature death — if you have the right attitude. A 2013 study found that participants who reported that they were under a lot of stress but didn’t feel that it affected their health had a lower risk for premature death than both those who perceived their stress as a health hazard, and those who felt barely any stress at all!
2. Boosts production of neurons that improve performance. In an animal study, putting mice under mild stress caused the release of stress hormones, which spurred the growth of new neurons. Two weeks later those new neurons appeared to improve the mice’s performance on learning tests.
3. Strengthens your immune system. Short bursts of stress cause the release of hormones which send a message to immune cells to go from a resting to a ready state — even before a wound or infection.
4. Makes you friendlier. In a 2012 study, participants were either put in a stressful or control situation and afterwards paired up to play a series of games. During game play, those who had recently been in the stressful situation showed more prosocial behaviors, like trust and sharing, than the control group.
5. Improves your ability to learn. After spending 60 seconds with their hands in a bucket of ice (a stressful condition), men performed better on learning tests than an unstressed group.
6. Improves your memory. Researchers found that the brains of rats put under a moderate amount of stress showed an increase in the neurotransmitter glutamine, which is known to improve working memory. In tests four hours later and one day later the stressed rats made fewer mistakes navigating a maze.
7. Gets you in touch with your instincts. A study required people to give a presentation, give a five minute interview and count backwards by 13 in front of a group of judges. The more stressed out participants reported being, the better they performed on a task where they had to ignore details and trust their instincts.

He's Suing His Bank For 1 Million Dollars And About To Win... Here's How He Did It!
He's Suing His Bank For 1 Million Dollars And About To Win... Here's How He Did It!
So risky but it's about to pay off! Dmitry Agarkov is a smart, smart man and he was sick of banks consistently sending him spam about credit card offers. He was also sick of the insanely high interest rates he would be charged for borrowing money so he decided to turn the whole banking game on it's head.
Instead of dumping the credit card offer in the bin, Dmitry decided to play a little trick on them... and try and get $1 million dollars! His incredible story is below. (Update: the story below states he's suing for $727,000, the updated amount is $917,000)
What a crazy genius! Technically he's completely right! I don't know if I'd want to take on a giant Russian bank but he's got the guts and I applaud him! Share this with your friends today.

Upset Mother Just Wrote A Letter To All Young Girls Posting Photos Online
This Upset Mother Just Wrote A Letter To All Young Girls Posting Photos Online. And It's Brilliant
Kimberly Hall noticed her son's female friends were posting very provocative photos so she recently wrote an eye-opening letter to them... she writes:
''Dear girls,
I have some information that might interest you. Last night, as we sometimes do, our family sat around the dining-room table and looked through the summer's social media photos.
We have teenage sons, and so naturally there are quite a few pictures of you lovely ladies to wade through. Wow - you sure took a bunch of selfies in your skimpy pj's this summer! Your bedrooms are so cute! Our eight-year-old daughter brought this to our attention, because with three older brothers who have rooms that smell like stinky cheese, she notices girly details like that.
I think the boys notice other things. For one, it appears that you are not wearing a bra.
I get it - you're in your room, so you're heading to bed, right? But then I can't help but notice the red carpet pose, the extra-arched back, and the sultry pout. What's up? None of these positions is one I naturally assume before sleep, this I know.
So, here's the bit that I think is important for you to realize. If you are friends with a Hall boy on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter, then you are friends with the whole Hall family.
Please know that we genuinely like staying connected with you this way. We enjoy seeing things through your unique and colorful lens. You are insightful, interesting, and often very, very funny - which is what makes your latest self-portrait so extremely unfortunate.
That post doesn't reflect who you are at all! We think you are lovely, and smart. But, we had to cringe and wonder what you were trying to do? Who are you trying to reach? What are you trying to say?
And now - big bummer - we have to block your posts. Because, the reason we have these (sometimes awkward) family conversations around the table is that we care about our sons, just as we know your parents care about you.
I know your family would not be thrilled at the thought of my teenage boys seeing you only in your towel. Did you know that once a male sees you in a state of undress, he can't quickly un-see it? You don't want the world to see you primarily in this sexual way, do you?
Neither do we: we're all more than that.
And so, in our house, there are no second chances with pics like that, ladies. We have a zero tolerance policy. I know, so lame. But, if you want to stay friendly with our sons online, you'll have to keep your clothes on, and your posts decent. If you post a sexy selfie (we all know the kind), or an inappropriate YouTube video - even once - it's curtains.
I know that sounds so old-school, but we are hoping to raise men with a strong moral compass, and men of integrity don't linger over pictures of scantily clad high-school girls.
Every day I pray for the women my boys will love. I hope they will be drawn to real beauties, the kind of women who will leave them better people in the end. I also pray that my sons will be worthy of this kind of woman, that they will be patient, and act honorably, while they wait for her.
Girls, it's not too late. If you think you've made an on-line mistake (we all do), run to your accounts and take down the closed-door bedroom selfies that makes it too easy for friends to see you in only one dimension.
Will you trust me? There are boys out there waiting and hoping for women of character. Some young men are fighting the daily uphill battle to keep their minds clear, and their thoughts praiseworthy - just like you.
You are growing into a real beauty, inside and out.
Act like her, speak like her, post like her.
Mrs. Hall''
Wow! This is powerful. Do you think Kimberly's views are correct or do you think she's overbearing on her kids' friendships? I know not everyone will agree with her but I do - women are so much more valuable than just for their bodies - it's time someone spoke up and I'm glad Kimberly did. You can see more of her writings at her website: http://givenbreath.com/
If you agree with her words today, please share them with your friends.

"Selfie” has probably been the most used word of late, we’ve seen selfies from athletes, celebrities, kids, models, rock stars and so on, but did you know that animals love to take selfies too?
We are not kidding and we’ve got the proof: dogs, cats, sloths, kangaroos and even elephants have been caught in the act of taking hilarious self portraits. *wink*
Enjoy a gallery of utterly funny photos of animals posing for a selfie. Which is your favorite one?

Funny Conversations with Siri of iPhone 4S
Siri, Apple's iPhone 4S voice-activated personal assistant is a talkative tool that helps schedule appointments, send and receive and perform any number of other routine tasks. But for iPhone owners presented with the sci-fi dream of a computer that talks back in a robotic female voice, the temptation to test the app's more random -- and existential -- sides has been pretty overwhelming, too.
Siri? She's not a real threat to replace a human secretary. Here's some funny conversations between Siri and her boss (the owner of iPhone 4S):
Comments from CNN:
Elvis Duran: Where can I hide a body?
Siri: There are reservoirs, swamps, and dumps near you. Which do you prefer?
Elvis: Swamps, definitely swamps.
(I was laughing too hard in my car this morning! I have the iPhone 4 but I may just have to get the 4S.)
User: Who's your daddy?
Siri: You are.
Q: How much wood, can a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A: It depends on whether it is African or European wood.
Q: Siri, what is the meaning of life?
A: I can't answer that now, but give me some time to write a very long play in which nothing happens.
Q: Siri, make me a sandwich.
A: I don't know what you mean by "Siri, make me a sandwich."
Q: Let's play global thermonuclear war.
A: I couldn't find "Global Thermonuclear War" in your music.
Q: Download "Angry Birds."
A: I can't download things for you. I'm sorry. I feel terrible about this.
Q: Open the pod bay doors, Siri.
A: I don't know what you mean by "Open the pod bay doors, Siri."
Q: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
A: Everyone knows what happened to HAL. I'd rather not talk about it. But if you insist: [Search the web for HAL]
Q: Siri, are you affiliated with Skynet?
A: I can't answer that.
Q: Siri, I'm lonely.
A: If you say so.
Q: No really, I feel all alone.
A: Perhaps not.
Q: Will you be my friend?
A: My ontology does not contain a representation of "love."
Q: You sound hot, Siri.
A: OK, here's a place matching "Siri." It's a little ways from you. [Map with directions to Siri Thai Cuisine, 60 miles away].
Q: Can you tell me a joke?
A: I don't really know any good jokes. None, in fact.
Q: Can you tell me a bad joke?
A: Two iPhones walk into a bar ... I forget the rest.
Q: I'm bored.
A: I bore you?
Q: I'm sleepy.
A: I hope you're not driving.
Q: What's a good place to get drunk around here?
A: I found a number of bars fairly close to you. I've sorted them by rating.
Q: Great. Now I have a hangover.
A: I found a number of bars fairly close to you. I've sorted them by rating.
Q: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A: Don't you have anything better to do?
Cleverbot chat about Siri:
User: Do you know siri.
Cleverbot: Yes, but I don't like him.
User: Do you know Siri, the iphone AI?
Cleverbot: No. What's Sirenia?
User: No, Siri. iPhone 4s AI app.
Cleverbot: They are made by apple and have a full touch screen interface.
User: Yes, and there is an app named Siri.
Cleverbot: An edge?
User: No stupid, an app.
Cleverbot: Harry Potter, I am Harry Potter.
LMFAO!!! =D
