 " What makes us happy? What makes us want to do things? To be inspired? To put it bluntly: What is the point?
Face it, we are only really satisfied with out lot in life on occasion. The rest of the time we are struggling with something or other and trying desperately to get back to that sense of peace. We feel we need to work hard at a job we hate so we can afford a holiday somewhere special.
But what makes the holiday so much better than normal, everyday life? I mean, really? "

 " Do you know what makes you happy? Daniel Gilbert would bet that you think you do, but you are most likely wrong. In his witty and engaging new book, Harvard professor Gilbert reveals his take on how our minds work, and how the limitations of our imaginations may be getting in the way of our ability to know what happiness is. Sound quirky and interesting? It is!"

Computer Video Game that Hooks Kids on Shakespeare |
 "Speare - The Literacy Arcade Game
Speare is ingenious, original, and, above all else, a fun game that also teaches literacy skills. Successfully tested with a wide range of ages, it has been shown to entertain as much as it educates. It is also the first educational SmartGame© designed with a full complement of associated learning tools for students and teachers. 'Speare fully integrates gaming and educational goals to the degree that the two are indistinguishable.
Some problems that Speare aims to address:
- The vast majority of online games and websites do not present positive, productive, learning environments for youth (elementary school through undergraduate).
- Three fifths of American teenagers play video games each week, and a quarter of them play games six hours or more – most of these commercial games have no educational value, and contribute to violent, dissociated engagement with media.
- In contrast to the commercial gaming market, educational games rarely have authentic appeal to gamers thus limiting their efficacy and widespread dissemination. "

Simple Productivity: 10 Ways to Do More by Focusing on the Essentials |
 " These days our lives are busier than ever. We work more than ever. We are more stressed and exhausted than ever before. And yet we get less done and are not as happy.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
The problem is that we are overloaded with information and tasks, and we try to get everything done instead of just the most essential things. Solution: focus on only the essential, eliminate the rest, and allow yourself to get into that beautiful state known as “flow”.
And although it can be hard to give up all the busy-ness that we’ve grown accustomed to, the change will have tremendous benefits on our sanity, our stress levels, our happiness, and yes, our productivity.
Here are 10 simple ways to be more productive with less effort: "

Honey could save diabetics from amputation |
 " Spreading honey on a diabetic ulcer could prevent the need to amputate an infected foot, researchers say.
A doctor at the University of Wisconsin who helped about half a dozen of her diabetic patients avoid amputation has launched a controlled trial to promote the widespread use of honey therapy.
The therapy involves squeezing a thick layer of honey onto the wound after dead skin and bacteria have been removed.
The honey kills bacteria because it is acidic and avoids the complication of bacterial resistance found with standard antibiotics, Jennifer Eddy, a professor at the University's School of Medicine and Public Health, told AFP. "

Yes, coffee really can be good for you |
 
" Cuppa joe can fight diabetes and cancer, but some shouldn't overdo it.
NEW YORK - Drinking coffee can help ward off type 2 diabetes and may even help prevent certain cancers, according to panelists discussing the benefits — and risks — of the beverage at a scientific meeting.
“We’re coming from a situation where coffee had a very negative health image,” Dr. Rob van Dam of the Harvard School of Public Health, who has conducted studies on coffee consumption and diabetes, told Reuters Health. Nevertheless, he added, “it’s not like we’re promoting coffee as the new health food and asking people who don’t like coffee to drink coffee for their health.”
