MIRAGE OFF THE SHORE

Thousands of tourists and local residents witnessed a mirage of high clarity lasting for four hours off the shore of Penglai City in east China's Shandong Province on Sunday.

Mists rising on the shore created an image of a city, with modern high-rise buildings, broad city streets and bustling cars as well as crowds of people all clearly visible.

The city of Penglai had been soaked by two days of rain before the rare weather phenomenon occurred.

The mirage took place during the week-long Labor Day holiday. The small city received over 30,000 tourists on Sunday.

Experts said that many mirages have been recorded in Penglai, on the tip of Shandong Peninsula, throughout history, which made it known as a dwelling place of the gods.

They explained that a mirage is formed when moisture in the air becomes warmer than the temperature of sea water, which refracts rays of sunlight to create reflections of the landscape in the sky.

GENDER ISSUE

A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.
She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The
frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you
three wishes."

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed
to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish
for, your husband will get times ten!"

The woman said, "That's okay."

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the
world.
The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your
husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will
flock to".

The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful
Woman and he will have eyes only for me."

So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in
the world.
The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the
world. And he will be ten times richer than you."

The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his
is mine."

So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd
like a mild heart attack."

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them.

Attention female readers: This is the end of the joke for you. Stop

here and continue feeling good.

Male readers: Please read further.

The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife .
Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they're really

smart.

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show
that women never listen!!!

HOW MUCH MONEY MATTERS ???

MELVILLE, N.Y. — A psychologist at Stony Brook Univer­sity on Long Island, collaborating with scientists at other Institutions, has discovered what philosophers have long known: Money doesn’t make people happier.

Yet the perception that it does continues to motivate peo­ple to want more and do more to more.

In a study that appears today in the journal Science, Arthur stone, vice chairman of Stony Brook’s department of psychia­try and behavioral sciences, working with scientists at Princeton University, the Univer­sity of Michigan and UC San Di­ego, explore the intangible rela­tionship between money and happiness.

“It’s mostly illusory,” Stone said. “When you look at people’s actual experience, the rich are not happier than others. And if they are, it has little to do with the money they have.”

For decades, psychologists would ask people whether they thought others with more money were happier. Of course, they said.

Stone’s latest techniques for measuring real-life experiences include, a fly-on-the-wall ap­proach, an electronic writing pad that beeps randomly throughout the day to get the volunteer to fill out a mood diary and questionnaires that reconstruct yester­day’s experiences.

What he came to realize is that people asked to Imagine a future with money, whether for themselves or others, always tend to exaggerate the impor­tance of this single change In cir­cumstance.

He explained that people for­get that the everyday stressors and joys of life go on, money or not. “Having a lot of money or a big house has little to do with a person’s daily mood, “which ebbs and flows depending on the Indi­vidual and the events of a given day. This is a very different pic­ture than what emerges when people are asked the global ques­tion: Does/could money buy hap­piness?

In the latter case, Stone and his colleagues, including Prince­ton’s Daniel Kahneman, who won a Nobel Prize In economic sciences in 2002, say people tend to exaggerate the benefits of an imagined monetary gain.

“Such questions elicit a global evaluation of one’s life,” the au­thors wrote. “Increases in income have been found to have mainly a transitory effect on in­dividuals’ reported life satisfac­tion.”

This tendency to think that the grass is greener on the other side is, in psychological parlance, a “focusing illusion.”

The reason ‘for the difference between perception and reality Is that thinking about the future triggers a cognitive process that exaggerates the positive and the negative.

“People forget that all of the other things in their life don’t change,” Stone said. “Even in the new circumstances, you will still be the same person with the same problems.”

Iii fact, others have shown that those with a high family income tend to report more intense negative emotions and greater anxiety than those with lower incomes.
