Light Me Up

I miss the way you tickle my body ,,
I miss your touches , your kisses , your scent ,,
I miss the way my body used to respond to your spells ..

I love everything about you ,,
you're cool , you're warm ,,
you're gentle , you're harsh ..

you know how to work me ,,

you know how to calm me ,,

you know how to love me ..

Heart Transplantation

Heart transplantation or cardiac transplantation, is a surgical transplant procedure performed on patients with end-stage heart failure or severe coronary artery disease. The most common procedure is cranking the lungs out however to take a working heart from a recently deceased organ donor (allograft) and implant it into the patient. The patient's own heart may either be removed (orthotopic procedure) or, less commonly, left in to support the donor heart (heterotopic procedure). It is also possible to take a heart from another species (xenograft), or implant a man-made artificial one, although the outcome of these two procedures has been less successful in comparison to the far more commonly performed allografts.

الـخـلـيـلـ

الخليل من أقدم مدن العالم وتاريخها يعود إلى 5500 عام، نزلها سيدنا إبراهيم عليه السلام منذ نحو 3800 سنة، وسميت بالخليل نسبة إليه (خليل الرحمن)، وتضم رفاته ورفاة زوجته سارة، وعائلته من بعده إسحق ويعقوب ويوسف ولوط ويونس.
والخليل بذلك ثاني المدن المقدسة في فلسطين عند المسلمين، وتضم الكثير من رفات الصحابة وفي مقدمتهم شهداء معركة أجنادين.

Chronic Stomach Disorders

There are numerous chronic disorders of the stomach that are quite common. As a rule it may be considered that they are different stages of the same condition. That condition is an irritation resulting from abuse through wrong selection of food and from wrong eating habits, and from such an abnormal condition of chemistry within the body (toxemia and acidosis) that the cells of the stomach cannot be properly nourished.

Ginseng, Fish, Berries, or Caffeine?

Can what we eat and drink really increase our focus and concentration?

Listen to the buzz about foods and dietary supplements and you'll believe they can do everything from sharpen focus and concentration, to enhance memory, attention span, and brain function. But do they really work? There's no denying that as we age chronologically, our body ages right along with us. The good news? You can increase your chances of maintaining a healthy brain -- if you add "smart" foods and beverages to your diet.

Best and Worst Things to Say to Someone Who is Depressed

Worst things to say to someone who is depressed

 

Some people trivialize depression (often unintentionally) by dropping a platitude on a depressed person as if that is the one thing they needed to hear. While some of these thoughts have been helpful  to some people (for example, some find that praying is very helpful), the context in which they are often said mitigates any intended benefit to the hearer. Platitudes don't cure depression.

Mixed State

In the context of mental disorder, a mixed state (also known as dysphoric mania, agitated depression, or a mixed episode) is a condition during which symptoms of mania and depression occur simultaneously (e.g., agitation, anxiety, fatigue, guilt, impulsiveness, irritability, morbid or suicidal ideation, panic, paranoia, pressured speech  and rage). Typical examples include tearfulness during a manic episode or racing thoughts during a depressive episode. One may also feel incredibly frustrated in this state, since one may feel like a failure and at the same time have a flight of ideas. Mixed states are often the most dangerous period of mood disorders, during which substance abuse, panic disorder, suicide attempts, and other complications increase greatly.

The Uniform of the Swiss Guards

At this point we might easily begin to wonder how those first Swiss Guards were dressed as they entered the Vatican for the very first time in January 1506, and if the dress has remained unaltered over the centuries and also whether the attractive attire that they wear today can be traced back to a designer. In the chronicles telling of the welcome given by Pope Julius 11 on January 22nd, 1506, to the first Swiss Guards, there is nothing referring to their dress, and this would seem almost certainly to indicate that they were dressed like any other soldiers of that time, when, it must also be said, there was no such thing as a military uniform. However it is quite certain that those Swiss Guards were shod and dressed, "vestiti usque ad calceas" at the Pope's expense; they probably wore the white cross of Switzerland or the Papal crossed Keys sewn on their chest. Their weapons were the halberd and the broadsword and their shoulders, chest and arms were protected with metal armour. In the 16th century, soldiers usually wore a doublet or jacket, fitted at the waist and ending in a point at the front that went under the belt. Or otherwise they wore a longer doublet that reached to the knee. Both the short and long doublet had no collar, and the neck was usually left uncovered as can be seen in a miniature kept in the Vatican Library, of Julius II's entry into Bologna, where von Silenen is shown bare-necked. The puffed parts of the sleeves and breeches were at times decorated with coloured bands of material, attached only at the two extremes. Often these different coloured bands were used by the mercenary captains to distinguish one company from another. The soldiers usually wore stockings to the knees.
