Balancing priorities

I've got exams coming up VERY soon and I have been doing some revision but then I feel I should still help out around the house because well I just think my family should have my help.

Mum tells me to revise and if I have time then help out but I feel kinda bad (especially when I waste my time beforehand) and I just think doing stuff for my mum is much more important than a bunch of exams - in the long run. I mean I don't even do much in the first place, so I should carry on doing the little that I do do.

Do some women encourage sexual harassment via their clothing?

A police officer in toronto was giving a talk to students about how to avoid harassment,he said: "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/04/03/slut-walk-toronto...

This sparked anger as you can imagine, it led to a student "slut walk" in protest. What sane person would join a slut walk anyway? eugh!

So do you think women should accept that they are "responsible" for the way they dress, and the reaction it will cause when they go out during the day or evening.?

Is it justifiable for women to say well you can get attacked whether you're old or young, dressed conservatively or skimpy?

Visiting The Sick

I have a question to ask. Does anyone know of any particular dua or surah to recite when visiting someone who is really ill?

I was just visiting my cousins grandad(not first cousin) who was diagnosed with cancer a while back and is now in critical situation. It was kinda scary watching him just lay there in his sleep and just keeping one eye on heart beat monitor.

It really brings you back to reality and makes you realize how temporary this life is and that we could die any minute.

The hardest thing is watching the relatives. You don't know what to say so everyone's just there in silence. Everyones emotions are really high at this moment yet you wanna remind them that this is all a test.

Easily distracted people may have too much brain

Those who are easily distracted from the task in hand may have "too much brain".

So says Ryota Kanai and his colleagues at University College London, who found larger than average volumes of grey matter in certain brain regions in those whose attention is readily diverted.
