Dahling, forgiveness is a healthy thing. You do not believe me? It has been shown empirically that forgiveness has a positive impact on health. Many psychologists who have done research say that when we forgive the mistakes of others with sincerity, then it will ease the burden of our lives.
Worthington Jr. had done research by using the brain imaging devices. The brain images pattern of two people with different characters were recorded. The experimental results showed, the animosity had a tendency to increased clotting, muscle tension, and unstable blood pressure, even tended to stress, whereas what happened in the forgiving was the opposite, their blood pressure was stable so that their bodies performance became optimal.
Happy father's day, dahling. You are a great dad if you can make your children love their mothers. And here I am referring to the children of the same mother, for example: me only and your baby.
One more thing, please do not be angry if occasionally you see I'll be so confident wearing two shoes on my two feet with two models and colors.
I'm tracing the mysteries of the "two". Why there are "two" if "one" is enough?

► Poker-faced meeting: Putin, Obama avoid pushing sore points. Published: 19 June, 2012 - Edited : 19 June, 2012 :: rt.com/news/putin-obama-g20-meeting-144/
In a joint statement following their first meeting since the inauguration of Vladimir Putin returning as president, they say they have the same belief that the Syrians should determine their own future. Previously, the two countries had not one word in the idea of solving the crisis.
Russia and China had twice vetoed the UN draft resolution supported by the U.S. to condemn Syria. Both countries were arguing that the overthrow of government power through an external force was unacceptable.
Obama and Putin meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Los Cabos, Mexico was held amid the unconfirmed reports that two Russian ships were ready to sail to Syria. Two amphibious ships were on a mission to protect Russian citizens and move the equipment, if necessary, from the naval base in Tartus. If it can be confirmed, the deployment of the ships indicates that Russia is taking precautionary measures if the Syrian regime can finally be toppled. (Oh, Satisfied are you?)
In a press statement after the meeting, Obama said that he and Putin determined to work closely with other international actors, including the United Nations, Kofi Annan, and interested parties to try to find solutions for Syrian crisis. Putin said the two countries have a lot of agreement on Syria.
They also warned Iran to comply with international obligations of the controversy surrounding the country's controversial nuclear program, and asked for "minimizing the use of uranium for civilian purposes."
The journalists said there was no smile between Obama and Putin during a press conference, and their interactions seemed stiff.

Greece now becomes the world spotlight. In addition to the most severe financial crisis struck, the country yesterday (June 17, 2012) held a general election which would determine their continuing to remain in the euro zone. The leaders of the G-20 summit that started in Los Cabos, Mexico were not releasing their attention to the Greece development, this summit was held in the shadow of economic crisis in Europe, and would probably spread to the whole world.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon who hosted the summit required a commitment and agreement from the G-20 to strengthen the European and to improve the International Monetary Fund ability in addressing the impact of European debt crisis. The demand was made by Calderon a day before the summit. Calderon warned the member states to continue to be aware of the situation in Greece, which in the last 2.5 years goes by the crisis. "Mexico's top priority is to collect on the promise of G-20's members to provide greater support for the IMF to tackle the crisis. "
Separately, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to assess the G-20 summit must produce a global action plan together, including establishing the European security wall to prevent the crisis from spreading. Brown said the G-20 summit was impossible to solve all the problems of Europe. However, he appreciated the organization that has stepped on the right track. He said Europe had to take advantage of this summit to strengthen budget and banking cooperation, so that they were more resistant to crisis.
Various polls show the Greek desire to remain in the eurozone. However, many voters in Greece are angry about government policies that increase the tax rate, spending cuts, and cutting salaries.
On the other hand, the radical left party Syriza which was favored in the general election wanted Greece to cancel the deal of assistance provided by the EU and the IMF. The reason was the deal assistance worth 130 billion euro required Greek for make savings and potentially for bankrupt.

Jan Pepijn Servaas : Could you tell us about the One More Topic? That is so clearly seen through the experts eyes here: it is the most interesting topic for you in recent weeks.
Pranay Suresh : Jan, do you think only women who like to hang out and gossip about many things? Men also love this activity. In fact, men are also happy to chat as well as women. But in plain view, see the man talking does not seem too emotional or passionate as a woman. When they get together with others, there are the things they talk about. Typically, there are some of the most common and attractive things to be discussed such as cars, sports, women, naughty jokes, school days, politics and sex.
Almira Izzati : as far as i know, Astrid Adrienne is a big fan of sex and political topics, well, now Jan Pepijn Servaas please send me a bonus to my bank account to leave a comment here....
Jan Pepijn Servaas :Thanks for reminding me your services, Miss Almira Izzati. Based on aesthetic considerations as well as economically, your bonus this month will be cut because you do much editing in comments on this page.
Astrid Adrienne : ehheeehe... Izti, sex is the most powerful weapon to destroy a person in politics, but it can also be an effective weapon to gain the political power. Power and sexuality are mutually interfering, and sexuality has become a public discourse. How the sexuality will be communicated verbally is an expression of power. This is seen from the example when the political power is trying to learn and intervene in the conversation about sex for regulation of population growth.
