 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next time you hold the door for someone or donate a little pocket change to help out a stranger at the parking meter, consider yourself a worldwide peacemaker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; That&#039;s the conclusion of a new study that was published this week in the journal &lt;em&gt;Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences&lt;/em&gt;&amp;mdash;kindness spurs kindness, &lt;a href=&quot;http://Wired.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Wired.com&lt;/a&gt; reports. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Post-Holidays and Your Pets</title>
 <link>http://www.guideposts.com/story/christmas-decorations-pet-safety</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;The holidays are over, but in many homes the decorations linger. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We leave our Christmas tree up until New Year&amp;rsquo;s Day, but friends of ours leave theirs up until Epiphany, or Little Christmas. Plants, candles and decorations still adorn tabletops. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com&quot;&gt;Pet Poison Helpline&lt;/a&gt;, some of these holiday items could pose a hazard for our pets. &lt;/p&gt;

 <link>http://www.guideposts.com/story/beatle-turns-religion</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although he may be a part of one of the biggest bands in pop culture history, Ringo Starr wants to be a part of something bigger- spirituality.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The former Beatle has proclaimed to have found God at the age of 70, after turning his back on religion and spirituality to pursue his rock and roll fame, according to The Morung Express.&lt;/p&gt;
