Why Laughing Does The Body Good

People who laugh a lot are much healthier than those who don't. Dr. Lee Berk at the Loma Linda School of Public Health in California found that laughing lowers levels of stress hormones, and strengthens the immune system - not to mention a good belly-laugh is great exercise!! Six-year-olds have it best - they laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.

How did silk come about

More than 5,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered how to make silk by boiling and unravelling silkworm cocoons. For about 3,000 years, they managed to keep this discovery a secret. Because poor people could not afford real silk, they tried to make other cloth look silky: folks would beat cotton with sticks to soften the fibers. Then they rubbed it against large stones to make it shiny. This shiny cotton was called "chintz." Because chintz was a poor imitation of silk, the term "chintzy" is now used to refer to something that it is cheap and not of high quality.

You will often see in a newspaper or on television, "The unemployment rates are down/up ........ %". What you will never hear about is the fact that unemployment rates are based on unemployment claims. Claims that are open or active. So, when someone's unemployment runs out, they would actually help show that unemployment is down. Why people are not actually polled for their employment status who were previously on unemployment is puzzling.
