Relationships: The Trust Factor

Hardly a week goes by that we
don't hear about yet another case
of infidelity involving a politician,
celebrity, or star athlete. As the
media splashes the scandalous
details over screens and airwaves,
the guilty party issues a press
release that's become all too
familiar: "I regret my actions …
I've gone against my values … I've
hurt people I love."
As bystanders to the wreckage, we
shake our heads and ask, "Can
anyone be trusted anymore?"
Good question! And it's such a
good question that it should be
foremost on the minds of singles
everywhere. It's hard to imagine
any quality more important in a
potential partner than
trustworthiness.
After all, trust and love are as
tightly intertwined as strands on a
rope. When trust is broken, love is
diminished and damaged. But
when trust is diligently
maintained, love grows stronger
and stronger.
Relationships in which two people
trust each other at the deepest
levels have at least four priceless
assets.
First, they have the reassurance
that someone will provide support
and stability through the hard
times of life. All of us experience
frustrations and failures—and
what a comfort to have someone
who will stand by you through
them all.
Second, trustworthy partners
know that every investment they
make in the relationship will pay
dividends. If a man and woman
trust each other, they can build a
partnership that will not be
confronted with the greatest
emotional threats of all—betrayal
and abandonment. They're
confident their relationship will
last, so all the effort to deepen it
will reap rich rewards.
Third, rock-solid trust means the
individuals don't have to spend
their time and energy being
suspicious. There isn't any need to
second-guess their lover. What
this person says to them is
truthful and reliable.
Finally, these partners can have
genuine peace of mind. When you
fully trust your partner, when
there is no need for suspicion of
any kind, you can have one of the
greatest prizes in the world: inner
peace. It is the prize for those who
are deeply committed to each
other and consistently
demonstrate loyalty.
If you are dating someone,
carefully assess the degree of trust
you and your partner have and see
if it is sturdy and sound. If it is,
you have a key ingredient for a
lasting, loving relationship.
And if you're unattached and
looking ahead to a magnificent
marriage, take this issue very
seriously. Be trustworthy yourself,
and find someone in whom your
trust will never waver.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...

Google, harder to search for results from other countries

For a long time, there was an easy way to conduct a Google search in a country other than the one you’re in. If you wanted to get results specific to Japan, for instance, you would visit www.google.co.jp; to get Australian results you would visit www.google.com.au — but this trick no longer works. Google has announced that it will now always serve up results that are relevant to the country that you’re in, regardless of the country code top level domain names (ccTLD) you use. The reason given is a little bizarre. The search giant says that the change has been introduced because of the way people are using the search engine these days. It says: “around one in five searches on Google is related to location, so providing locally relevant search results is an essential part of serving you the most accurate information.” The argument seems counterintuitive, however. Anyone who has changed the ccTLD has done so consciously, and for a reason — for Google to override this decision is strange...
