These are brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters, which make us feel happy. They are also a natural pain and stress reliever.\nLaughing reduces levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and gives us a quick burst of energy.\nA good laugh can be beneficial to the lungs, boost immunity, and could even burn off calories.\nSmiley, happy people are thought to have more friends and be more successful, by appearing more confident and approachable.\nThe science behind a smile\nMedical reason for not smiling\nA small number of people suffer from Moebius Syndrome, which means that they are physically unable to smile.\n\nThe condition affects the nerves that help us smile, frown, blink and perform other facial expressions.\n\nYou may think that people smile because they are happy, but scientific research suggests otherwise.\n\n'Simply using the same muscles as smiling will put you in a happier mood,' explains Dr Michael Lewis, psychologist at Cardiff University.\n\n'That's because use of those muscles is part of how the brain evaluates mood.'\n\nCharles Darwin was one of the first to suggest our expressions may actually intensify our feelings. This theory is known as the 'feedback loop' or 'facial feedback hypothesis'.\n\nA smiling expression feeds back into how we experience mood, therefore making us feel happier or a joke seem funnier.\n\nProfessor Fritz Strack, along with Leonard L Martin and Sabine Stepper, investigated this theory and published a study in 1988.\n\nThis revealed that people who used their smiling muscles when presented with cartoons found them more amusing than people who didn't.\n\nSeparate studies have shown that people suffering from facial paralysis, and without the ability to smile, have been found to suffer more from depression.\n\nCan smiling relieve stress?\nDid you know?\nA genuine smile is known as a 'Duchenne smile' after the French physician Guillanne Duchenn.\n\nThis involves smiling with the mouth and crinkling around the corners of your eyes.\n\nA polite functional smile is known as a 'Pan American smile', and involves stretching the mouth, but doesn't use the eyes.\n\nMark Stibich, PhD, a consultant at Columbia University, and contributor to a Guide to Longevity at about.com, believes smiling may also act as a stress relief.\n\n'When you're stressed a number of things happen to your body,' explains Stibich.\n\n'Your pulse rate shoots up, your digestive system shuts down, and your blood sugar levels increase.\n\n\"But two things also happen that you have voluntary control over – your breathing becomes shallower and faster and facial expressions kick in.\n\n'If you can slow your breathing down and change your expression, you may be able to turn around the stress cascade.'\n\nHow to put a smile on your face\nSpend time with friends and family who are most likely to cheer you up.\nTake time out and watch a film or a TV show you find funny.\nEven when you don't feel like it, try and force yourself to smile – you may find that a forced smile becomes genuine.\nReflect on happy memories by looking through photographs.\nNeed more help?\nA perfect smile\nDon't let the condition of your teeth put you off from smiling. Make sure you brush them twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.\n\nIt's also a good idea to visit your dentist regularly and to cut down on sugary foods and drinks.\n\nIf you're feeling low or depressed, there are lots of people who can help you, especially if you'd prefer to speak to someone impartial.",

But there is little on what is the most sexually attractive color per se.\n\nIt is impossible to determine the most sexually attractive color due to the many confounding variables involved.\n\nDifferent cultures have different attitudes and preferences in the attribution of qualities of colour and behaviour. For example, \"black\" is associated with death in European countries. But \"white\" is associated with death in China and \"purple\" is associated with death in Brazil.\n\nAs for sexual attractiveness, there is an enormous cultural component in this as well. Gender is another confounding variable. What might be perceived as a highly sexually attractive colour on a woman may not be perceived as such on a man. And what might be a highly sexually attractive colour to a woman may not be so to a man.\n\nIndividuals associate particular colours with particular things in their lives. Thus, any colour could be \"the most sexually attractive\" to a particular individual. There and other confounding variables too.\n\nNevertheless, drawing upon various studies from the fields of colour psychology and color therapy (chromotherapy), a not-too-scientific ranking of \"more\" or \"less\" sexually attractive colors could be constructed from the list below of colors and there supposed attributes.\n\nBlack: Sophistication, elegance, seduction, mystery, sex, banishment, binding, protection, evil \nBlue: Trust, reliability, belonging, coolness, tranquility, peace, calm, wisdom, justice, depression, understanding, patience, loyalty, sincerity, honour \nBrown: Earthy, conservative, protective, constructive, hard-working, solid \nCopper/Bronze: Love, passion, friendship, sex \nGold: Prestige, expensive, elite, authority \nGreen: Nature, fresh, cool, growth, abundance, rejuvenation, recovery, healing, harmony, balance, peace, hope, jealousy, envy \nGrey: Neutrality, staleness, depression \nMagenta: power, magnetism, spiritual power \nOrange: Playfulness, warmth, vibrant, encouragement, luck, kindness, stimulation, optimism, abundance, success, independence, sensual \nPink: Soft, sweet, nurturance, security, tenderness, peace \nPurple: Royal, spirituality, dignity, divination, inspiration, meditation, compassion \nRed: Passion, energy, excitement, danger, speed, impulsive action, stimulation, assertiveness, aggression, strength, sex, revolt, war \nSilver: Prestige, cold, scientific, stability \nTurquoise: Intuitive, insightful, inventive, original, renewal, change \nWhite: Pure, virginal, clean, youthful, mild, peace, truthfulness, enlightenment \nYellow: Warmth, cheer, happiness, vitality, change, progress, clarity, communicativeness, affirmation.\n\nGiven the above, red, black, and copper/bronze would seem to head the list of the most sexually attractive colours.\n\nResearch shows that colour affects shopping habits. Red-orange, black, and royal blue attracts impulse buyers. Pink, light green, light and navy blue attract tight budget shoppers. Pink, rose, and sky blue attract conformists.",

      "body": "In order to assess this evidence one needs to know some basic facts about the Bible. The Bible has two main sections, the Old Testament, comprised of 39 books written in the period 1500 BC to 400 BC, by a wide variety of authors.  The following short video of a public presentation I did at a university will give you a quick but adequate background on the authorship of the Old TestamentThe New Testament centers on the person and work of Jesus Christ. What is fascinating is that he claimed that the Old Testament also anticipated his person and work. For example, on one occasion Luke tells us of Jesus that\n\n“beginning with Moses and all the Prophets [i.e. the Old Testament] he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself” (Luke 24:27).\nThis, if true, should include these predictive prophecies since Moses (ca 1500 BC) and the Prophets (ca 1000 – 500 BC) were written hundreds of years before Jesus walked the earth. What kind of predictions did they make? Were they vague and subjective? Or definitive? Let’s take a look at the evidence.The Prophecy of the Crucifixion in the Psalms\n\nMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?… I am … scorned by men and despised by the people.  All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. … I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me… a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet…I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me .. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.  .. All the ends of the earth will remember… Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord.  They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn. (Psalm 22, ca 1000 BC)\nJesus, while on the cross did call out “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”(5).  In doing so Jesus was pointing to Psalm 22 which opens with the same words.  As one reads that Psalm, the highlights of which I have produced, one gets a description of the crucifixion of Jesus, in first person, including the mocking and insults he received, the dislocating of the joints, the piercing of hands and feet, the dividing of garments.  How was David, the author of Psalm 22, able to get such an accurate visualization of the crucifixion 1000 years before it occurred?  And notice how the Psalm ends.  It describes the legacy or effect of this person.  It says that generations following the crucifixion will be told about it.  And here we are about 2000 years after the crucifixion studying aspects of it – just as David predicted.  The Prophecy of lineage\n\n“’The days are coming’, declares the LORD, ‘when I will fulfill the gracious promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; he will do what is just and right in the land.   Jeremiah 33:14-15 ca. 600 BC\nNote that this prophecy predicts that someone will come from David’s line (David was the famous Jewish King who defeated Goliath and founded the city of Jerusalem ca 1000 BC – see historical overview here), and this person would be just and right. This prediction was fulfilled by Jesus Christ who was a descendant of David as well as a person who is famous for being ‘just and right’. The lineages were meticulously preserved in that ancient Middle Eastern culture, and both Matthew (ch 1) and Luke (ch 3) trace Jesus’ lineage to his ancestor King David.  For Jewish verification of JesuThe name of Jesus Prophesied!\n\nListen O High Priest Joshua and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant the Branch. See the stone I have set in front of Joshua! … and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.  Zechariah 3:8-9 written 500 BC\nZechariah picks up from Jeremiah and predicts more about the coming Branch of David. It is interesting that Joshua (who was the person in 500 BC to whom Zechariah was directly speaking) is a variant of the name Yeshua, which was Jesus name in Aramaic. In other words Jesus and Joshua are variants of the same name (like John and Jonathan are variants of each other – see here for further explanation). And Zechariah says that the Joshua of his day was symbolic of the Branch, and this Branch would remove the sin of the land in one single day. The day Jesus (Yeshua) died he did so for the sins of all people. So literally, in a single day the sins of the land were removed. In a sense, Jesus’ name and victory over sin were predicted 500 years before he lived.  This article here explores this prophecy in further detail.Birthplace of Jesus prophesied\n\n“But you, Bethlehem, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” Micah 5:2 written 700 BC\nThis prediction has of today been partially fulfilled. Jesus was born in Bethlehem (as the Christmas accounts tell us), but he has never yet ruled over Israel. It is interesting though that he claimed to be a King (‘Christ’ is a title signifying kingship). For example, he declared, “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory”(Matthew 25:31). This indicates that he taught that he would return again to earth – this time to rule, which would thus fulfill both parts of Micah’s prophecy. At this point at least we have the fulfillment of his birth place.",

      "body": "The Bible is the perennial best-seller of all time. It has been translated into more languages than any other book. However, the Bible is also controversial. For one thing it claims that God inspired its writing. An example of such a claim is:\n\n“All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”(2 Timothy 3:16).\nThe question I had when faced with such a claim was, how could I know whether it was true or not? For one thing, how can I know that God exists?  Does one have to believe in the existence of God before one looks at the Bible?  After all, lots of holy books and even religious leaders make similar claims.  The well-known atheist Bertrand Russell surveyed the plethora of religions, most making claims and statements contradicting each other, yet all claiming some Divine origin and concluded that all religions were false. Was Russell right? Or is there some evidence that the Bible has to validate its claim? Or does one choose whether to believe a scripture or not solely based on culture and upbringing, or on some whim and fancy?The Bible`s Test for God & Proof of Inspiration\n\nAs I struggled with these questions, I came across a test that the Bible itself laid down to prove its inspiration and to prove God’s existence. It is the Bible’s argument and proof for the existence of God and is spelled out in the following Biblical passages.\n\n“You may say to yourselves, ‘How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD’? If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message that the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.” (Deuteronomy 18:21-22)\n\n“Present your case,” says the LORD … “you idols tell us what is going to happen … declare to us the things to come, tell us what the future holds, so we may know you are gods.” (Isaiah 41:21-23)\nThe test that the Bible lays out is quite simple, yet clear-cut. To know if a message came from God the statements say that it should be supported by predictions of the future. The reasoning is that if God exists, He knows the future, whereas though people can make some educated guesses we can’t predict the future with consistent accuracy, and false gods know nothing about the future. Thus a message from God can be differentiated from those of people or false gods on the basis of its predictive abilities.  If the messages do predict the future then they must come from God then He must exist.  This is evidence that God is there and talking to us.  The Bible’s argument for God’s existence is pretty straightforward.\n\nBut can we apply this proof for God’s existence?  I was acutely aware that predictive prophecy was subject to interpretation, especially if the predictive statements were vague. After all, New Years’ tabloids usually have headlines from some ‘psychic’ who predicts that there will be a disaster or turmoil in the course of the coming year. Such general predictions are bound to happen statistically. Were there prophecies in the Bible that were really substantive and precise? That gave a real sign of Divine inspiration? Let me share with you what I have learned on this topic",

      "body": "Definitely the ripple ecosystem is definitely going to have to get a lot bigger to justify where XRP is right now,\" said Michael Graham, an analyst at Canaccord Genuity who has covered internet stocks since the late 1990s.\nWhen asked which firms are using XRP, a Ripple spokesperson pointed only to an October announcement that said a bank called Cuallix is the first financial institution to use XRP, in this case for U.S.-Mexico transactions. No other firms were named.\nHowever, Ripple said in a tweet Thursday that 3 of the top 5 global money transfer companies plan to use XRP in payment flows in 2018Digital currency ripple has blown past its cryptocurrency rivals largely because it is working with large institutions, which give it an aura of legitimacy and practicality.\nHowever, cryptocurrency enthusiasts say that centralization is the exact opposite of what the technology of the digital currencies should be about.\n\"The reason ripple is surging so much is it's a bubble,\" said Erik Voorhees, CEO of digital asset exchange ShapeShift and a vocal advocate for bitcoin as a way to separate money and the state. \"Testing crypto with banks doesn't make sense. The whole idea of crypto is you don't need banks.\"It's \"not interesting from a financial innovation perspective,\" Voorhees said.\nRipple is officially the name of a five-year-old start-up based in San Francisco that is developing a payments network for financial institutions. XRP is the name of the coin participants can use for transactions. The company announced in October that more than 100 financial institutions are using its network in some way. These include Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Mizhuho, Credit Agricole and Nordic bank SEB.\nRipple 12-month performance\nView Related Chart\nSource: CoinMarketCap\nIn November, Ripple said American Express FX International Payments and Santander would use Ripple's network for cross-border payments between the U.S. and the U.K. Several Japanese and South Korean banks are also testing Ripple's systems for cross-border payments. If all goes well, the banks eventually plan to send money using XRP, according to a Nikkei report.\n\"Definitely the ripple ecosystem is definitely going to have to get a lot bigger to justify where XRP is right now,\" said Michael Graham, an analyst at Canaccord Genuity who has covered internet stocks since the late 1990s. \"But clearly the use case for XRP is quite clear. That sets it apart from other crypto assets.\"\nWhen asked which firms are using XRP, a Ripple representative pointed to an October announcement that said a bank called Cuallix is the first financial institution to use XRP, in this case for U.S.-Mexico transactions. No other firms were named. Cuallix has main offices in Mexico, the U.S. and Hong Kong, according to its website.\n\"While it's not required for banks to use XRP, as the native digital asset to the XRP Ledger it adds further value to customers in sourcing low-cost, on-demand liquidity,\" a Ripple representative said in a statement to CNBC.\nBitcoin, the largest digital currency by market capitalization, is up more than 25 percent this year to about $17,000, or 1,500 percent over the last 12 months, according to Coinbase.\nIn contrast, XRP climbed 35,000 percent to $2.30 last year and has soared nearly 67 percent since to an all-time high of $3.84 on Thursday, according to CoinMarketCap. The coin remains the second largest by market cap, but fell to trade near $3 on Friday after leading U.S. digital currency marketplace Coinbase pushed back against rumors it would launch XRP trading.\n\"I think a lot of retail investors think that by investing in XRP they'll be able to own a part [of the business], but they're not a stock,\" said Dan Ciotoli, software engineer and blockchain analyst at Bespoke Invest.\n\"I'm kind of on the side that XRP itself is not going to be used by banks,\" Ciotoli said.\nHowever, Ripple said in a tweet Thursday that 3 of the top 5 global money transfer companies plan to use XRP in payment flows in 2018.\nLike many of the alternatives to bitcoin that have emerged, XRP offers far faster speeds than bitcoin, which was the first application of blockchain technology when it launched nine years ago. Bitcoin transactions takes at least an hour to settle, ethereum more than 2 minutes and XRP about 4 seconds, according to Ripple's website.\nAll that is faster than traditional systems, which can take days. But there are fintech start-ups such as TransferWise that already allow consumers to send money overseas more quickly and cheaply than most traditional means. In a November report, Bernstein Senior Research Analyst Lisa D. Ellis said a test found using bitcoin to send money overseas was nearly 10 times more expensive than using TransferWise and also slightly slower.\nCNBC reported, however, that bitcoin did prove useful for big-ticket items such as school tuition when both the buyer and seller held the digital currency.\n\"One of the things we all have to remember is the value of a token over the long term is really going to be driven by its utility,\" Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said on Dec. 27 on CNBC's \"Squawk Alley.\" \"There's no question there's a lot of hype in this system.\"\nXRP isn't quite there yet in terms of actual usage, but then again, neither is bitcoin.",
