15 Things to Quickly Put You in a Good Mood (by Tess)
Everyone struggles with a bad mood now and then. It's a part of life, especially when too many irritations or inconveniences happen all at once.
Read on for tips to help you put more spring in your step and happy in your mood.
1. Move!
The number one tip experts give for changing your mood is to exercise. Choose something you enjoy doing, yoga, walking, rollerblading, or a dance video workout,
A short and fast workout can relieve stress and release feel-good endorphins. Think of your athletic shoes as happy shoes!
2. Choose healthy food. Small healthy snacks throughout the day keep your body satisfied. Eat less white rice, pasta, bread, sugar and potatoes. Incorporate grains, vegetables, nuts and seeds in your diet.
3. Make memories. Spend your money on experiences. Sign up for a painting class, go to the museum, or a concert. Experiences create wonderful memories.
4. Get out in nature. Go to the big room with the blue ceiling and green floor. Take a walk in the woods or watch a sunrise. Sitting outside for five minutes a day is enough to feel good and change your mood. Five minutes!
5. Touch. Physical affection is powerful. Give and receive a kiss, a hug, a pat on the back, a touch on an arm or go for a massage. Touch is transformational. Warm fuzzies feel good.
6. Be kind. Look for a way to compliment someone. Anticipate and meet the needs of the people around you. When you bring happiness to others you also bring it to yourself. The smallest act of caring can cause a mini-bliss explosion.
9. Make a happy face. Smiling makes you happy even when you’re feeling sad. Smile at yourself in the mirror. Smile at the people you love and even the ones you don’t. We underestimate the transforming power of a smile.
10. Listen to music. There's not much a great song won’t cure. Runners listen to their iPods while running marathons because it’s less painful.

CF not content with Top Pot punishment (China Post)
The government should fine Top Pot Bakery according to the Fair Trade Act instead of the Act Governing Food Sanitation to levy more severe punishments over the addition of artificial essences into the bakery's bread while claiming it uses only natural ingredients, the Consumers' Foundation (CF) said yesterday.
CF board member Hsieh Tien-jen (謝天仁) said that the government should also look into the legal responsibility that Dee Hsu (徐熙娣, also known as Xiao S) should take for helping to promote the bakery.
The chain was recently busted by the Taipei City Government and Taipei prosecutors for adding artificial essences into its bread.
The bakery boasts in advertisements that its bread is made with natural ingredients and zero flavoring essences. The city government later fined the firm NT$180,000 for deceptive advertising and handed the case over to Taipei prosecutors.
Questions:
1. What you think about top pot bakery event?
2. What do you think about food safety and quality?
3. Should government take care of food safety?
Is the government obligated to take care of its citizens?

Lawmakers object to electricity price hike plan(China Post)
Several Kuomintang lawmakers yesterday expressed their objections to an electricity price hike by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) slated for October.
The MOEA said that it will not increase prices for households that use less than 500 kilowatt hours of electricity, meaning that approximately 85.7 percent of households will not be affected.
KMT caucus whip Lai Shyh-bao (賴士葆) said after the conference that a final decision has yet to be made, but that four lawmakers expressed opposition to the proposal.
Discussions centered on whether or not the government should stop subsidizing industrial and financial institutions as well as households that use a large amount of electricity, Lai said.
Questions:
1. What you think about the price of electricity price increase?
2.Why electricity bills are rising?

破冰打開話題
Ways
to breaking the ice (magforwomen.com)
Breaking the ice between you and the
another person is surely not rocket science. But, it is also not something you
can do without the application of mind. The idea here is to be creative. You
cannot come up with a line that has been used for centuries and expect the
person to feel comfortable talking to you. You may come across as a person who
is desperate to talk to him. They say the first impression is the last
impression. Hence, it is very important to come up with a line that is
spontaneous, witty and original.
1. ‘Hi’ followed by a warm smile
Though it sounds very simple, it can be
very effective. If you have a great smile, use it to your advantage. Walk up to
him and greet him. Charm a person with one of your best smiles.
2. Talk about the weather
This is one of the best ways to stir up a
conversation with almost anyone. There is always something to talk about the
weather. ‘Isn’t it cold?’ or ‘God! It’s hot.’ are some examples.
3. ‘Have we met before?’
This can be later followed by something
like, ‘Oh, you resemble someone (or an old friend) so much. You must meet
them.’ After this, you can have the rest of your conversation stirred along.
4. The ‘Ask-for-help’ method
Now you have to do this well. Some amount
of acting skills would help. Act as if you accidentally dropped something down,
like a bundle of books or a bunch of pens. Do this when you are close to him.
He would naturally try to help you. You can start a conversation from here. If
he doesn’t bother to help, you seriously shouldn’t be trying to talk to him.
5. Witty funny comments
Casually comment about something around
you. However, make sure it is funny enough to crack him up. You could talk
about anything or any person around you.
Questions:
1. How to break the ice when meet new people?
2. How to start a conversation with a girl or a boy you crush on?
3. How to pick good topics to start conversation?
4. How to improve conversation skills?
Ways to sharpen your communication skills?
5. Do you think a warm smile is an effective communication skill?
6. What topics of conversation you should avoid at first meeting?
費洛蒙?

Are
Pheromones a Secret Weapon For Dating? (ABC news)
Odorless pheromones are secreted by many
animals to attract mates. But they're also synthesized and marketed to
consumers as potions to increase sexual attractiveness.
They've been sold for years, but new
studies and claims are making these items hotter than ever. Paris Hilton knows.
She added them to her latest perfume. But the debate remains: Do pheromones
really work or is this just all hype?
"I think our product is the only
product that has any proof behind its claims," said biologist Winifred Cutler,
a leading pheromone champion and owner of the Athena Institute, which
manufactures and sells pheromone products.
Cutler said she had proof they worked for
75 percent of customers who had tried her products, which sell for about $100
for 1/6 of an ounce.
"Our pheromones are sexual
attractants. They do make the wearers more sexually attractive," she said.
Some scientists remain skeptical about the
existence of human pheromones. "Maybe just the idea of knowing that you're
wearing the stuff will help," said Dr. Stuart Firestein, a biologist at
Columbia University who studies the science of smell. "There's certainly
always going to be a very strong placebo effect in these sorts of things."
