In young age, we develop infatuation with some celebrities. We keep track of everything about that celebrity. We try to get some memorabilia of that celebrity. We don’t think of any other celebrity other than our chose one. He/she is our star; the best and we will do anything for him/her. This kind of infatuation comes in young age to most of the people and disappears after some years.
What if it continues after marriage? It can affect the marriage. How will you like it if your husband/wife does that? You will wonder about your role in his/her life. Is that correct? To be a fan and to be in infatuation is different. if you dream and think of somebody else while having got married that can kill the relationship. No relationship can withstand this kind of onslaught.
What can be done about this? If your partner is having this problem, please tell them - Darling how would you feel if I also surround myself with my favorite celebrity? Reason with your spouse and ask them to be only a fan of that celebrity. Tell them about the effect this kind of worship is having on the married relationship. To get some body out of such infatuation quickly is not easy. But try and you should get results over time.

Can the traditional Juke Box last in the digital and MP3 world? The MP3 Jukebox is a available in various types and expressions but still the traditional Juke Box is still here.
Juke Box styling changed from the stark wooden boxes in the early 1930s to bright lit displays with plastic and color animation in the Rudolf Wurlitzer 850 Peacock juke box of the early 40’s. Alas once the United States government entered into the 2nd world war, metal as well as plastic were required for the war campaign.
Music juke box output was cut back. The 1943 Wurlitzer 950 juke box featured wooden coin slides to save on on metal alloy. It should also be mentioned that since the juke box mechanisms were made of alloy, they weren’t built during this era, instead, an untested console was developed and the internal parts of the juke box were placed into it. As most of the mechanisms were assembled by hand, many of these juke boxes contained components which never fit the right way and needed refitting.
The 1943 Wurlitzer Victory console had glass illuminated panels instead of plastic. After the war, materials were accessible once again and there was a great growth in juke box construction. The Wurlitzer juke box typifies the appearance and is arguably the hottest juke box design of all time. Alot of of these continued in popularity on into the 1950’s in active use and are forever related with the fifties in pop music culture despite their 40s origin, because of their unique visual prominence and production volume.
After the ’40s, the juke box trends in general went more three-dimensional and techy in appearance, distancing their look from “standard” juke box looks such as ancient Grecian, renaissance, and Gothic architecture designs observed in the ‘forties model juke boxes.
Music juke boxes of the forties came to be known as Golden Age due to the yellow catalin plastic. Music juke boxes of the fifties are called Silver Age because of the overriding chromium-plate design. With the popularity of fast food diners in the 1960’s, restaurants wanted to get customers in and out quickly.
These days, the diner juke box has been replaced by other forms of amusemententertainment media, yet when you go to a place that still has a juke box, young and old are still attracted to their almost garish styling. The juke box as a mass media device may be dying yet the nostalgia is something that may never leave us.

Menopause, which literally means the cessation of menses, represents the stage in a woman’s life when her reproductive capacity has been brought to an end. There are many hormonal changes that lead to the cessation of menses. The main cause is the drop in oestrogen.
Hormonal Changes
It has been traditionally assumed that depression and other psychological problems are a direct cause of menopause. However, recent studies have revealed that this is not necessarily true. Researchers have discovered a rise in the incidents of depression in women ranging form 35 to 43 years old, which is a lot before menopause. In most cases, menopause occurs between 49 and 51, although some women may experience it before 40.
Most hormonal changes occur during the few years before menopause, which are referred to as the perimenopausal stage. These changes may increase the production of serotonin, a chemical in the brain connected to depression. This is why mood swings are not uncommon during this period. Another hormonal change during the perimenopausal stage is the decrease in the oestrogen level.
Psychological & Emotional Impact
Oestrogen, which is linked to depression, explains why there are higher depression rates in women than in men. However, as the oestrogen level decreases before menopause, the risk of depression should also decrease.
The increased depression rate encountered during menopause suggests that it is not actually the hormonal changes, but the psychological impact associated with this stage that causes the problems. For most women, the changes in status and fertility associated with menopause affect a wide range of other aspects, such as the way they view themselves and their sexuality.
Menopause is also associated with some changes in body tissues. Breast tissues become less firm, while the genital organs become smaller. Between 50% and 75% of women experiencing menopause have hot flushes, which consist of brief body temperature rises accompanied by sweating and skin flushing. These hot flushes can cause not only physical discomfort, but also occasional social discomfort and sleeping disorders.
Attitude
While everyone agrees that dealing with all the physical changes that occur during menopause is not easy, most psychologists feel that depression during this stage is more a matter of attitude. The changes associated with menopause can be viewed from a different angle. During this stage, women can explore their creativity and social potential and expand their contribution to society. The fact that they are now freed from the fear of pregnancy gives them the opportunity to rejuvenate their sex life. Unfortunately, most women feel that the end of their fertility is the end of their sexuality too.
Psychologists state that women who have a positive attitude on the changes that happen in their body look healthier and are likely to have an increased interest in sex. In contrast, those who believe in the myth that menopause is the end of their womanhood, the start to lose their attractiveness and vitality and look older. Other studies have proved that negative attitudes on menopause also increase the unpleasant symptoms associated with it, such as hot flashes, fatigue, night sweats, sleeping disorders and aches.
