► Your financial condition needs a tweak or two -- so get busy! Your sense of the situation is clearer than it has been in ages, and that means you can make practical changes with confidence. Reliability is a virtue, especially when it comes to finances. In fact, it's quite virtuous of you to take a look at any consistently unhealthy ways you deal with money. It's even more educational for you (and your checkbook) if you start to plan how to deal with your money on a consistently functional basis, rather than the same patterns that have recently come into question.

► DAILY MAIL 21 March 2014 : You really can't fake a laugh: Our brains are hardwired to tell the difference between genuine and fake chuckling. Researchers from Indiana State University found that with laughter can boost the immune system by up to 40 per cent. The study tested 33 healthy women. Half of the women watched a comedy video together while the others watched a dull video on tourism. When the films were over, scientists took samples of the women's immune cells, known as natural killer cells, and mixed them with cancer cells to see how effectively they attacked the disease. They found that the women who had found the comedy funny enough to laugh out loud had significantly healthier immune systems afterwards than those who had watched the tourism film.

■ Forgotten War: Libya could become terrorist staging post. Libya's on the way to becoming a terrorist outpost for possible future attacks on Europe. The prospect has been raised by Libya's former Prime Minister who came to power following the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime. He recently fled the country, where rival militias run rampant, and are in de-facto control of the state. Gayane Chichakyan explains. And Middle East expert Sukant Chandan believes the situation has been created by the very people who encouraged the overthrow of Gadaffi in the first place.
