The out-of-Africa hypothesis maintains that modern humans evolved relatively recently in Africa and then spread around the world, replacing existing populations of archaic humans. The multiregional hypothesis contends that modern humans evolved over a broad area from archaic humans, with populations in different regions mating with their neighbors to share traits, resulting in the evolution of modern humans. The out-of-Africa hypothesis currently holds the lead, but proponents of the multiregional hypothesis remain strong in their views.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTApFaQYvYrnscnnsbZEuL0tqTNAVbViZ7Y-nsl9U5cBr47f4ZWYbsBT_xARa-Oz6b_HOP0AFJlL6joI-r-S3Bqy9qhG0U0aV5X0mGk4zUTBkqheyn1_NlYEteQ6HOQEmerSqTzrSWVzQK/s1600-h/3.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTApFaQYvYrnscnnsbZEuL0tqTNAVbViZ7Y-nsl9U5cBr47f4ZWYbsBT_xARa-Oz6b_HOP0AFJlL6joI-r-S3Bqy9qhG0U0aV5X0mGk4zUTBkqheyn1_NlYEteQ6HOQEmerSqTzrSWVzQK/s400/3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398708272880952770" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 400px; " /></a><br />Who was the first hominid?<br /><br />Scientists are uncovering more and more ancient hominids all the time -- here meaning bipeds including humans, our direct ancestors and closest relatives.

A number of scientists conjecture this migration was linked with a mutation that transformed our brains, leading to our modern, complex use of language and enabling more sophisticated tools, art and societies. The more popular view suggests hints of such modern behavior existed long before this exodus, and that humanity instead had crossed a threshold in terms of population size in Africa that made such a revolution possible.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi24tsinc82V2dBGlO1LXxDU58xig4GrGawYNnJtu0DMPbJPvXQZL5ljEQxCfIVqwFAYxLlSD7zENg32ZbZvGkEYkOkW9KXHbJYT6ErB4dKK2B4yeBrIT3mLxcieoEH7aWzCL7nzagd-ceI/s1600-h/6.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi24tsinc82V2dBGlO1LXxDU58xig4GrGawYNnJtu0DMPbJPvXQZL5ljEQxCfIVqwFAYxLlSD7zENg32ZbZvGkEYkOkW9KXHbJYT6ErB4dKK2B4yeBrIT3mLxcieoEH7aWzCL7nzagd-ceI/s400/6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398708256667030018" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 219px; height: 400px; " /></a><br />What is the hobbit?<br /><br />Is the 'hobbit' -- the nickname given to diminutive skeletons found on the Indonesian isle of Flores in 2003 -- in fact an extinct human species, enough to be called Homo floresiensis?

A number of scientists challenge the strength of this evidence, saying that it remains difficult to ascertain whether or not certain genes really have recently grown in prominence because they offer some adaptive benefit. Still, if human evolution is accelerating, the question becomes why? Diet and diseases may be some of the pressures that caused humans to change.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguaI8YTZGOV7Un33tD_AWQgGdMQ9uplYcfvu6cB3E8Rl5hFLK8svqGIs20B5wqGDEV2pQ3adKhusfjOxrEDS8kTbrcV6ZFekIHDfNAVkqTZ9AKpe23EJsgV3M2b6QcSVYX9vCwd90UUkTS/s1600-h/8.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguaI8YTZGOV7Un33tD_AWQgGdMQ9uplYcfvu6cB3E8Rl5hFLK8svqGIs20B5wqGDEV2pQ3adKhusfjOxrEDS8kTbrcV6ZFekIHDfNAVkqTZ9AKpe23EJsgV3M2b6QcSVYX9vCwd90UUkTS/s400/8.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398708112710462946" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a>Why did our closest relatives go extinct?<br /><br />Roughly 24,000 years ago, our species, Homo sapiens, was not alone in the world -- our closest relatives, the Neanderthals, (Homo neanderthalensis) were still alive.

One unorthodox idea even suggests human nakedness developed after our ancestors briefly adapted for a streamlined life in the water, although most aquatic mammals of roughly human size actually possess dense fur.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQkbL-t614zxJm8jWRwy50bSZ3UimJ5guufAUNK2lZ9HWzBBmii8q5nx9IGgsXEveoaxXrSUfiGP8puOvXk2DTJjgWp3F5Z8Qj9PIhRoX9VUefTCAGK10zRbj3kh0BrM4367UJ09BI8tU/s1600-h/10.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQkbL-t614zxJm8jWRwy50bSZ3UimJ5guufAUNK2lZ9HWzBBmii8q5nx9IGgsXEveoaxXrSUfiGP8puOvXk2DTJjgWp3F5Z8Qj9PIhRoX9VUefTCAGK10zRbj3kh0BrM4367UJ09BI8tU/s400/10.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398708098835471890" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 272px; height: 400px; " /></a><br />Why do humans walk on two legs?<br /><br />Our ancestors evolved an upright posture well before our large brains or stone tools even appeared. The question, then: Why stand and walk on two legs when our ape cousins get by on four limbs? Walking as bipeds might actually use less energy than movement on all fours does. Freeing up the arms might also have enabled our ancestors to carry more food. Standing upright might even have helped them control their temperature better by reducing the amount of skin directly exposed to the sun.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0xqbrWwFjKtWtRsThdNaIn_qLHpV6vvFf8jLBkaeJlQNihrzFBkSdpVQfN8EB86ez9JvCOVW7wLaBcwLIG3kwG9fVe_S-IJjhM7Dl1fP6lR4eKT9fHuujDvwb_iauJAW-nl4Dc1R6P093/s1600-h/11.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0xqbrWwFjKtWtRsThdNaIn_qLHpV6vvFf8jLBkaeJlQNihrzFBkSdpVQfN8EB86ez9JvCOVW7wLaBcwLIG3kwG9fVe_S-IJjhM7Dl1fP6lR4eKT9fHuujDvwb_iauJAW-nl4Dc1R6P093/s400/11.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398708094716844562" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 270px; " /></a><br /><br />Why did we grow large brains?<br /><br />There is no question that our large brains have provided humans an extraordinary advantage in the world. Still, the human brain is an incredibly expensive organ, taking up only about 2 percent of the body's mass yet using more than a fifth of the body's energy, and until about 2 million years ago none of our ancestors had a brain larger than an ape's when compared to body size. So what kicked off the push for a larger brain? One possibility is that increased smarts helped our ancestors make better tools. Another is that larger brains helped us interact better with each other. Perhaps radical changes in the environment also demanded that our ancestors deal with a shifting world.</div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-70307456255735556602011-04-09T01:44:00.001-07:002011-04-09T01:44:41.519-07:00What Really Scares People: Top 10 Phobias<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><div class="post-body entry-content" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gKVjYwpJw3vZ2Y37RXVjNJIQPebUtz0-a0UrE8WRFyy4K873l4PAsvqq9cI-21LZoJ2WLj34GjBrfX3GlsH1HOwMMliB9lVXH988rjka9mcB6h0G9OIYkMmHP31wDVzs37SNg0AywI45/s1600-h/1.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gKVjYwpJw3vZ2Y37RXVjNJIQPebUtz0-a0UrE8WRFyy4K873l4PAsvqq9cI-21LZoJ2WLj34GjBrfX3GlsH1HOwMMliB9lVXH988rjka9mcB6h0G9OIYkMmHP31wDVzs37SNg0AywI45/s400/1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398709226987390114" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">Whether you jump at the sight of a spider or work up a sweat at the mere mention of getting on an airplane, fears and phobias abound.

Such fears range from just a bit of anxiety to an extreme flying phobia called aviophobia that can keep a person off airplanes at any cost.<br /><br />These frightful fliers fall into two evenly split groups: those who are afraid of plane crashes and those who are claustrophobic and risk a panic attack inside a plane's tight cabin quarters, according to Barbara Rothbaum, professor in psychiatry and director of the Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program at Emory University School of Medicine.<br /><br />Like other phobias, reason plays little role in calming such crash fears. For instance, the lifetime odds of dying in an air travel accident are 1-in-20,000 compared with 1-in-100 for an auto accident and 1-in-5 from heart disease (based on 2001 statistics). However, treatment for flight fears -- sans a drunken stupor -- which includes virtual reality therapy and other forms of cognitive-behavioral therapy has shown much success, Rothbaum notes.<br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVSJL0ZptcCSt7DDSXz2F3EGzvIxi1Qsgjk6Om65KGGFrLHLcifqoFv-yti9SKZ_ntOqyCE0Tfr_VD0FiXOjvHE05wt5AkGJ_9zaJsm1rN11BAMUYklecZ5JTspaO2IGdFd2H2htUXyn_/s1600-h/5.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVSJL0ZptcCSt7DDSXz2F3EGzvIxi1Qsgjk6Om65KGGFrLHLcifqoFv-yti9SKZ_ntOqyCE0Tfr_VD0FiXOjvHE05wt5AkGJ_9zaJsm1rN11BAMUYklecZ5JTspaO2IGdFd2H2htUXyn_/s400/5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398709211089588818" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 310px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">Thunder and Lightning<br /><br />The crackling of thunder and lightning can lead to a heart-pounding, sweaty-palm meltdown for individuals with severe weather phobia. In fact, some even pack up and move to regions known for calm weather, according to John Westefeld of the University of Iowa.<br /><br />Westefeld reported on a survey of mostly college-age students in 2006 in which 73 percent of participants had "a little bit" or "moderate" fear of weather. "I think there are more people out there who have [severe weather phobia] than most people might assume," Westefeld told LiveScience. "A lot of the folks I interviewed indicated they were very embarrassed about this so that they hadn't told anybody about it. In some cases they indicated their spouses didn't even know about it."<br /><br />In terms of treatment, Westefeld recommends "a combination of social support and accurate information, and training in ways of coping with anxiety and panic." That way, those with intense storm frights can reach a middle ground, where they have enough fear to keep them safe without debilitating them.<br /><br /><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKj64Ho6PECZFgjxuQ0YK_fm5rO9dznIjUQSYySAhiFWxN4WWlb7HkHJrXVZfQMtvY_NdNCYntDvRY24QYP6kzSOMuZOJkXQ43RhGgFzWf5wPy-j3XVrCBxj_7XDOrUGlDGZArAsh9I4GL/s1600-h/6.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKj64Ho6PECZFgjxuQ0YK_fm5rO9dznIjUQSYySAhiFWxN4WWlb7HkHJrXVZfQMtvY_NdNCYntDvRY24QYP6kzSOMuZOJkXQ43RhGgFzWf5wPy-j3XVrCBxj_7XDOrUGlDGZArAsh9I4GL/s400/6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398709077650030978" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 260px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">The Dark<br /><br />For many kids, lights out can mean immediate distress that the boogey man, or some variation, will pop out from beneath the bed or behind a closet door. In fact, being afraid of the dark is one of kids' most common fears. "What always amazes us are the thoughts or beliefs that kids have," said Thomas Ollendick, professor of psychology and director of the Child Study Center at Virginia Tech. "Kids believe everything imaginable, that in the dark robbers might come or they could get kidnapped, or someone might come and take their toys away." Essentially, their fears stem from "the unexpected," he said. While kids grow out of such fears, if the anxiety reaches extreme levels and is considered a phobia, called nyctophobia, Ollendick says that can last through adulthood if left untreated.<br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6P70zDGxsuqrZnAVblRuhpJkUWysa65ICaQl097nNkPWrp0eY9drxd5QeS_gWrCJUvDGOxhL-W-UFHJJMScJCYzR1nK5lHwlL-LUdMlQUSufQjFehZUfw_5MrYxAftQdH_VYRHZedtSkP/s1600-h/7.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6P70zDGxsuqrZnAVblRuhpJkUWysa65ICaQl097nNkPWrp0eY9drxd5QeS_gWrCJUvDGOxhL-W-UFHJJMScJCYzR1nK5lHwlL-LUdMlQUSufQjFehZUfw_5MrYxAftQdH_VYRHZedtSkP/s400/7.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398709071507798802" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">Harrowing Heights<br /><br />If you get the heebie-jeebies when standing on a rooftop or looking up at a tall building, you're not alone. Fear of heights is one of the most common phobias (followed by public speaking) with an estimated 3 percent to 5 percent of the population suffering so-called acrophobia.<br /><br />While scientists had thought such phobia was the result of an irrational fear to normal stimuli, new research is suggesting otherwise.<br /><br />In the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, participants had to judge the height of a building when standing at ground level and when atop the building. Compared with participants who scored lowest on an acrophobia test, those most afraid of heights judged the building to be about 10 feet (3 meters) higher at ground level and 40 feet (12 meters) taller from the top of the building. So the building actually seems taller to acrophobics, it seems.<br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0QFbbw4UDOHBg17wK1qHXQDxraeHjk9-hqEfZiQM7e_-NSQrro29fYKcQrYIvg3zsemHBpEiBs2U7sYq0IrnooqrDSFDaDdmYfe_DAhnAnPDfuqp25bHJ7_yq8oC_vJyv6rMHUrJOX5iI/s1600-h/8.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0QFbbw4UDOHBg17wK1qHXQDxraeHjk9-hqEfZiQM7e_-NSQrro29fYKcQrYIvg3zsemHBpEiBs2U7sYq0IrnooqrDSFDaDdmYfe_DAhnAnPDfuqp25bHJ7_yq8oC_vJyv6rMHUrJOX5iI/s400/8.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398709067366540018" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">Other People<br /><br />Does the thought of speaking in front of an audience color your face a bright red, send sweat pouring from your pores and bring a sick feeling to your gut?

And it turns out, women are four times more likely to fear such arachnids than men.<br /><br />In a study being published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, David Rakison of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh found that 11-month-old girls quickly learned to associate images of spiders and snakes with a fearful facial expression, while baby boys did not.<br /><br />From an evolutionary perspective, this makes sense, as women would have encountered such creepy crawlies regularly while gathering food, Rakison speculates. And, he says, the cringe factor could keep both moms and their infants safe. Macho men, on the other hand, would have needed to take frequent risks when hunting and so evolutionary pressure to jump at the sight of a spider would be less than beneficial.<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0-LZFlXvLukFTDppHyLUHnTUrlly3wo7lsFy1_01d5UmI-rqz3JtR7YUGRQesnyRPOyX6hINXnvvn1qgR23sQ8tGz969cJAiS77L-xHmV2ptOFFvdi1JJSRDDe_Tt9aTR6JpNPlLN1GJ7/s1600-h/11.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0-LZFlXvLukFTDppHyLUHnTUrlly3wo7lsFy1_01d5UmI-rqz3JtR7YUGRQesnyRPOyX6hINXnvvn1qgR23sQ8tGz969cJAiS77L-xHmV2ptOFFvdi1JJSRDDe_Tt9aTR6JpNPlLN1GJ7/s400/11.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398709059823838146" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br />Slithering Snakes<br /><br />Considered one of the most common phobias, an extreme fear of snakes could be evolutionarily imprinted in people, studies suggest. Long ago, spotting a snake (or even a spider) would have been an advantage to a person's survival, according to one study in which adults and children could pick out images of snakes among various non-threatening objects more quickly than they could pinpoint frogs and flowers. The ability to spot a snake in the blink of an eye, the researchers say, likely helped our ancestors survive in the wild.</div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-42482668635199025482011-04-09T01:25:00.000-07:002011-04-09T01:26:01.788-07:007 Health Problems for the Modern Age<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><div class="post-body entry-content" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_VPP_NQSiRS5NsikX0WuxwVQWX7X7t6E5jgQtPFdxQ4cJOzSBx-O_GRkiLdUZCPsboNG71d1yLKE2ltjeWHVnzID8oCnF4GfOJcdaG0OhMonuMy7dMTtEQo7AJuC4gNQK2kML9w5H9kM/s1600-h/1.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_VPP_NQSiRS5NsikX0WuxwVQWX7X7t6E5jgQtPFdxQ4cJOzSBx-O_GRkiLdUZCPsboNG71d1yLKE2ltjeWHVnzID8oCnF4GfOJcdaG0OhMonuMy7dMTtEQo7AJuC4gNQK2kML9w5H9kM/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377534670439483650" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 281px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">Modern life, with its emphasis on information, automation, computerization, and globalization, has made work easier and given us more leisure options, but we now have a whole host of new health problems.

CVS encompasses all eye or vision-related problems suffered by people who spend a lot of time on computers. According to the American Optometric Association, symptoms of CVS include headaches; dry, red, or burning eyes; blurred or double vision; trouble focusing; difficulty distinguishing colors; sensitivity to light; and even pain in the neck or back. As many as 75 percent of computer users have symptoms of CVS due to glare, poor lighting, and improper workstation setup. To overcome CVS, keep your monitor about two feet away from you and six inches below eye level, and be sure it's directly in front of you to minimize eye movement. Adjust lighting to remove any glare or reflections. You can also adjust the brightness on your monitor to ease eyestrain. Even simple steps can help, like looking away from your monitor every 20 or 30 minutes and focusing on something farther away. And you can always use eyedrops to perk up your peepers!<br /><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsarXJROLWm4XuORnAToEA-dcOI61bK8PhPRqXyYtHqLV_qvaSFSkvGPxGcir22DAQzVb75V3ro9dFn29hXJDv6T8J7AmS7J1NGYbXdHNOzXwMdgSJH6uDr-FMD9Jab5Rn3W2RTdbFLdw/s1600-h/3.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsarXJROLWm4XuORnAToEA-dcOI61bK8PhPRqXyYtHqLV_qvaSFSkvGPxGcir22DAQzVb75V3ro9dFn29hXJDv6T8J7AmS7J1NGYbXdHNOzXwMdgSJH6uDr-FMD9Jab5Rn3W2RTdbFLdw/s400/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377534656181838114" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 300px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">3 Earbud-related Hearing Loss<br /><br /><br />Earbuds are the headphones used with many digital music players. They fit inside the ear but don't cancel out background noise, requiring users to turn up the volume, often to 110 to 120 decibels -- loud enough to cause hearing loss after only an hour and 15 minutes. And today, people spend much more time listening to their portable players, exposing themselves to damaging noise for longer periods of time. As a result, young people are developing the type of hearing loss normally seen in much older adults. Experts recommend turning down the volume and limiting the amount of time spent listening to music players to about an hour a day. Headphones that fit outside the ear canal also help, as can noise-canceling headphones that reduce background noise so listeners don't have to crank up the volume.On the next page, learn why sitting at your desk may be hazardous to your health<br /><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRuoeJddWsWzwrJZU3-WjO2zWmQg3JX1UZs6okmJIgFv0D3WA3uoZ_CWBgUrybo_gzlx7Uhg5m2-gRZq6TjcfHhIrky2O9pqnG4lCLaT2jqpzxSaNWaULw_lABB2fjUxVL2XIJRjsdJwM/s1600-h/4.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRuoeJddWsWzwrJZU3-WjO2zWmQg3JX1UZs6okmJIgFv0D3WA3uoZ_CWBgUrybo_gzlx7Uhg5m2-gRZq6TjcfHhIrky2O9pqnG4lCLaT2jqpzxSaNWaULw_lABB2fjUxVL2XIJRjsdJwM/s400/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377534555538421058" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 150px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">4 E-thrombosis<br /><br /><br /><br />This condition is related to deep vein thrombosis, where blood clots form in deep veins, such as those in the legs. These clots can be fatal if they migrate to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. Clots can form when blood supply slows or stops, such as in a period of prolonged immobility. Similarly, e-thrombosis is the development of clots in the deep veins of someone who spends long amounts of time in front of a computer without moving. Although only a handful of e-thrombosis cases have been reported, millions of people who spend most of their time in front of a computer are at risk. Avoiding e-thrombosis is simple: stand up and move around every hour, tap your toes while you work, put equipment and supplies in different parts of your work area so you have to move to get them, don't cross your legs while sitting at your desk, don't spend your lunch break at your desk (go for a quick walk instead), and don't get too comfortable -- if your workspace is ultra-cozy, you won't want to get up.<br /><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUyprYOgFJ9ivPak1wdbmnu3npuTjnETMwPKRYFPKFajwzfj9XCzpHrx7LTI29-bNP7inlX1iEJQSHanqsXxII2tBTwOO8aYRel-IoW-sve2cwogya7RQSIbSjBaoakmkRDOi_Eb3a7-c/s1600-h/5.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUyprYOgFJ9ivPak1wdbmnu3npuTjnETMwPKRYFPKFajwzfj9XCzpHrx7LTI29-bNP7inlX1iEJQSHanqsXxII2tBTwOO8aYRel-IoW-sve2cwogya7RQSIbSjBaoakmkRDOi_Eb3a7-c/s400/5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377534546583995218" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 150px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">5 Generalized Anxiety Disorder<br /><br /><br />We all have worries, uncertainties, and fears, but generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is excessive or unrealistic unease or concern about life's problems. Although the disorder often manifests without any specific cause, large issues of modern life (such as terrorism, the economy, and crime) can bring it about, as can individual circumstances like dealing with an illness. GAD affects about 6.8 million people in the United States, and symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, irritability, impatience, difficulty concentrating, headaches, upset stomach, and shortness of breath. Anxiety disorders like GAD are treated with antianxiety drugs, antidepressants, psychotherapy, or a combination of these<br /><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbCOidTi-nnU8i9E2cGX8YKWq181qSiWVQc4ojb0JjZmqN_sp2valijiYOEd_XPsrZzKdLzAoBdJNH8SUKG5JwD7gcnOh3bgCOHblDIajxpgWZK1nsVJ-3wxj8I13WsxZ8zbxnLxbpTos/s1600-h/6.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbCOidTi-nnU8i9E2cGX8YKWq181qSiWVQc4ojb0JjZmqN_sp2valijiYOEd_XPsrZzKdLzAoBdJNH8SUKG5JwD7gcnOh3bgCOHblDIajxpgWZK1nsVJ-3wxj8I13WsxZ8zbxnLxbpTos/s400/6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377534542484888482" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 150px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">6 Orthorexia Nervosa<br /><br /><br />It seems like every day there's a new report about something you shouldn't eat. The constant bombardment of information about food and health can confuse anyone, but for people who have the eating disorder orthorexia nervosa, it can be downright dangerous. People with this condition are obsessed with eating healthful food and have constructed strict diets that they follow religiously. Although many people who have orthorexia nervosa become underweight, thinness is not their goal -- nutritional purity is. Among the signs of orthorexia nervosa are: spending more than three hours a day thinking about healthful food; planning meals days in advance; feeling virtuous from following a strict healthful diet, but not enjoying eating; feeling socially isolated (such strict diets make it hard to eat anywhere but at home); and feeling highly critical of those who do not follow a similar diet. Although the psychiatric community does not officially recognize orthorexia nervosa as a disorder, those with the condition benefit from psychological treatment and sessions with eating-disorder specialists.On the next page learn how buildings can make you sick<br /><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBpbAJcuJelA_rTdb0aoz6IVBJ8Z3aqp_mQ2hqx5i_ZY3_VJmNmuURr2WRINzxUpUuNFCRBr7a5FNHQc4Bzj8rPbpcvzYYbOYzUdKN_3sz7ATsVLjH2NNSG5F8h9GZS6LK49NyKzawRcQ/s1600-h/7.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBpbAJcuJelA_rTdb0aoz6IVBJ8Z3aqp_mQ2hqx5i_ZY3_VJmNmuURr2WRINzxUpUuNFCRBr7a5FNHQc4Bzj8rPbpcvzYYbOYzUdKN_3sz7ATsVLjH2NNSG5F8h9GZS6LK49NyKzawRcQ/s400/7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377534531950367698" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 150px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">7 Sick Building Syndrome<br /><br />Rising energy costs aren't just harmful to your wallet; if you work in an office building, they could be making you physically ill. Businesses have found that by packing buildings with insulation, then adding caulking and weather stripping, they can seal buildings tight, keep indoor temperatures constant, and cut energy costs in the process. Such measures require the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to work harder to recycle air. After all, when the building is sealed, you can't open a window to let fresh air circulate. The result is sick building syndrome, which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies as a situation where building occupants experience discomforting health effects even though no specific cause can be found. Symptoms include headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin; dizziness; nausea; fatigue; and sensitivity to odors. The EPA estimates that 30 percent of all U.S. office buildings could be "sick," so they recommend routine maintenance of HVAC systems, including cleaning or replacing filters; replacing water-stained ceiling tiles and carpeting; restricting smoking in and around buildings; and ventilating areas where paints, adhesives, or solvents are used.<br /><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8kr3n4hNcsxkB2ABjYXCF2WYAli0PdnJeAorjDRZ83t3AayH_QZARAPYGAcA1x-zwGK2viVnhT3nDPfqXpZOIEGZpAP3cNsg15YDEyfDB4o3zfThRDjclz4F-xiKucqGUa3ZkPmPK4Tg/s1600-h/8.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8kr3n4hNcsxkB2ABjYXCF2WYAli0PdnJeAorjDRZ83t3AayH_QZARAPYGAcA1x-zwGK2viVnhT3nDPfqXpZOIEGZpAP3cNsg15YDEyfDB4o3zfThRDjclz4F-xiKucqGUa3ZkPmPK4Tg/s400/8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377534522646237730" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 150px; " /><br /><br /></a><br />8 Social Anxiety Disorder<br /><br /><br />Despite all the ways to interact with others in our technologically savvy world, those with social anxiety disorder feel boxed in by the shrinking globe. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), people with social anxiety disorder have an "intense, persistent, and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others and of doing things that will embarrass them," and that fear can be so intense that it interferes with work, school, and other ordinary activities and can make it hard to make and keep friends. But the condition has physical manifestations, too, including trembling, upset stomach, heart palpitations, confusion, and diarrhea. The cause hasn't been nailed down, but social anxiety disorder is probably due to a combination of environmental and hereditary factors. About 15+million people in the United States are affected by social anxiety disorder, which usually begins during childhood. Like other anxiety disorders, treatment often involves medication and psychotherapy</div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-75265637575430465682011-04-09T01:21:00.000-07:002011-04-09T01:26:54.868-07:0015 Of The Longest Beaches In The World<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em; color: rgb(204, 204, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; font-weight: normal; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS0KRKW2pqzGbFrMbPIpQx8a0GeroYrz407_n45PgQGkgSig9ejHtWY1j7XvHctqLqhB7bpa7ObbioTdDkDJuSiXWMwbYQ_0L7peILjr_PurSO7qzlZo5xefNQy5CGZoAsjML7E55F9iQ/s1600-h/1.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; ">When you’re sitting in a cubicle at work the thought of strolling down a sun-drenched, palm-fringed beach somewhere exotic can really lift spirits.

This beach is only about eight miles long so many people are surprised to see it on a list of the world’s longest beaches. However, it has been marketed as the world’s longest beach so successfully that people often believe that it really is a very long beach. It’s not in the top ten but that doesn’t mean that it’s a beach that should be ignored; located on the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean, it’s a beautiful sandy beach that offers much to the tourist who is drawn there. One of the special sights that you’ll want to make sure to see is the set of stone statues here which honour local celebrities ranging from actors to politicians. It should be noted that the water here is polluted and swimming in some areas is off limits but it is still considered a tourist destination for anyone visiting Chennai.<div style="clear: both; "></div></div><div class="post-footer" style="margin-top: 0.75em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(119, 119, 119); letter-spacing: 0.1em; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.3em; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); "></div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com46tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-17157579064672152452011-04-08T01:39:00.001-07:002011-04-08T01:39:45.685-07:00People with Unbelievable Talents<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><div class="post-body entry-content" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIyoHUMrEuBx327Ya5iN1U_BeZNEbm41ycnIw2V-C1sftJe12a3NgTeTXtHEefUrLCqxPXwNyB-khuzzL7TpWhZDv6wuPJNulDIRViOflctqUVweriqNTGDSSHMOzKuGcAC1-jKbZj0RE/s1600-h/1.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIyoHUMrEuBx327Ya5iN1U_BeZNEbm41ycnIw2V-C1sftJe12a3NgTeTXtHEefUrLCqxPXwNyB-khuzzL7TpWhZDv6wuPJNulDIRViOflctqUVweriqNTGDSSHMOzKuGcAC1-jKbZj0RE/s320/1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262620691166600626" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 203px; " /> Tu Jin-Sheng: Pulls a Truck with his Penis<br /></a>As Kung Fu magazine puts it: "When a man can tow a truck with his genitals, that’s all anyone ever really remembers about him."

Its practitioners are known to lift hundreds of pounds with their genitals to increase energy and sexual performance.<br /><br />The truck demonstration was made for a British crew filming the documentary "Penis Envy" shown below, it's a must-see!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnmjo0tq-9RO8J9BhdYwh6QPMqncwLcVEctv6RVv_Ikqqq1mOiAbjxSLZUbF__q6JChNZNXoqRrjxNrENfC7nyaqSuNw1jjRzGJbpw3c8eM9KXXzAK3UyfiGQCAbySXL41Za3PvX6-QWY/s1600-h/2.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnmjo0tq-9RO8J9BhdYwh6QPMqncwLcVEctv6RVv_Ikqqq1mOiAbjxSLZUbF__q6JChNZNXoqRrjxNrENfC7nyaqSuNw1jjRzGJbpw3c8eM9KXXzAK3UyfiGQCAbySXL41Za3PvX6-QWY/s320/2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262620684574609890" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 177px; " /></a>Miroslaw Magola: Moves objects with his Mind<br /><br />"Remember, there is no spoon". Just like that kid from "The Matrix" movie, Miroslaw Magola --The "Magnetic Man"-- defies laws of gravity with an extraordinary ability — applying the power of psycho kinesis he can raise anything from metal pans to marble statues, transport them through the air to affix to his body, then creates a force to keep them there — simply using mind control.<br /><br />An avid enthusiast of the phenomenon of psychic energy, Miroslaw has developed his skill to manipulate lifeless objects in mid-air to obey his will, even forcing them spin around or shake. His mental powers are so keen that he can jump around while an object is stuck to his head without losing his mental grasp of the item. Miroslaw explains how he employs psycho kinetics to perform these uncanny feats, “It works because I load myself with energy (I connect myself to it) and at the same time I wish for the object to raise.”<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Miroslaw has undergone numerous tests for his perplexing skill which remains unexplained by conventional science to date. Although Miroslaw Magola is gifted with some of the strangest abilities in the world which are generally regarded as paranormal, his book is filled with protests against exactly this form of categorization. He deals with and discusses things ‘beyond our world,’ yet describes himself as a radical rationalist and insists on his normality.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oH7Tb_iBnsc&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5rihIoOYtjCm3hl1I9Y69nfsGEdxjN3DACITPBy_39q1v6nP7e4widCWLA1rpZY4JiZDhaNCKuiixv_k5n13Sn_-lWn9NrsgrGsN4IKPXZHrcUuAuxZ-6tt8FLgpfaMsuamR2XOspXaM/s1600-h/3.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5rihIoOYtjCm3hl1I9Y69nfsGEdxjN3DACITPBy_39q1v6nP7e4widCWLA1rpZY4JiZDhaNCKuiixv_k5n13Sn_-lWn9NrsgrGsN4IKPXZHrcUuAuxZ-6tt8FLgpfaMsuamR2XOspXaM/s320/3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262620685378203234" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 202px; " /></a>Manjit Singh: Pulls a Jet with his Ears<br /><br />57 year-old Manjit Singh, called the "Ironman", holds more than 30 world records including pulling a double decker bus with his hair, lifting 85 kg with his ears, and of course, pulling a Jet also with his ears!

After sucking up some water with his nose, he then sprays it through his tear ducts, ending up on the paper.<br /><br />Ru discovered his unusual talent as a child while swimming in the river. "Sometimes I would swallow water while swimming, and once I accidentally discovered the water I swallowed could be shot out through my eyes. My friends were all shocked to see it," he said.<br /><br />But it wasn't until the 1990s, when Ru lost his job in a local fertilizer factory after more than 20 years, that he began to develop his unusual talent.

As a famous consumer of undigestables, Lotito's performances are the consumption of metal, glass, rubber and so on in items such as bicycles, televisions, a Cessna 150, and smaller items which are disassembled, cut-up and swallowed. The aircraft took roughly two years to be 'eaten' from 1978 to 1980. He began eating unusual material while a child and has been performing publicly since 1966.<br /><br />Lotito does not often suffer from ill-effects due to his diet, even after the consumption of materials usually considered poisonous. When performing he consumes around a kilogram of material daily, preceding it with mineral oil and drinking considerable quantities of water during the 'meal'. He apparently possesses a stomach and intestine with walls of twice the expected thickness, and his digestive acids are, allegedly, unusually powerful, allowing him to digest a certain portion of his metallic meals.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidp6vwDJjDbplellYAuW9qZEeNNGZixKz5egM7S3obCP6oGV21nKJQ3SgH-hEmMoAn4Oky2kx6w1Db_uhAszmVi56t1gOeRTtZe4rFazNJaX_EV_0t3t_OwCBiXp8HlGe78sbcmPAvG3U/s1600-h/6.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidp6vwDJjDbplellYAuW9qZEeNNGZixKz5egM7S3obCP6oGV21nKJQ3SgH-hEmMoAn4Oky2kx6w1Db_uhAszmVi56t1gOeRTtZe4rFazNJaX_EV_0t3t_OwCBiXp8HlGe78sbcmPAvG3U/s320/6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262620392265367138" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 230px; " /></a>Thai Ngoc: Needs no Sleep<br /><br />Sixty-four-year-old Thai Ngoc, a vietnamese farmer, is known around the world for a unique talent: he needs no sleep.

The performances are visible from numerous vantage points on the Strip, both from the street and from neighboring structures. The fountain's show takes place every 30 minutes in the afternoons and early evenings, and every 15 minutes from 8 PM to midnight. The Fountains are set in a nine-acre man-made lake. The fountain display is choreographed to various pieces of music; current pieces include "Fly Me To The Moon" (Frank Sinatra), "Time to Say Goodbye" (Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli) and "My Heart Will Go On" (Celine Dion).<br /><br /><br />Contrary to a common urban myth that the lake is filled with treated greywater from the hotel, it is actually serviced by a fresh water well that was drilled decades prior to irrigate a golf course which previously utilized the site. In fact, the fountains use less water at present than under its prior golf course use.[3] They incorporate a network of underwater pipes with over 1,200 nozzles that makes it possible to stage fountain displays coordinated with over 4,500 lights. It is estimated that the fountains cost US$50 million to build.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZAy3d6UganoQ1x2h8UACIurN2YdKa8bvxhkavE36fZyZIVUHETt2Gin4oW2qb05Jq3ffBvYRwLPr7muI636khMdf7MY5heqoeeUlKEzh8s8ucdD6mk6DUA5TflJdM8t6F_q0Xf6H6Go/s1600-h/2.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZAy3d6UganoQ1x2h8UACIurN2YdKa8bvxhkavE36fZyZIVUHETt2Gin4oW2qb05Jq3ffBvYRwLPr7muI636khMdf7MY5heqoeeUlKEzh8s8ucdD6mk6DUA5TflJdM8t6F_q0Xf6H6Go/s320/2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262618513266017010" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 320px; " /></a>Fountain of Wealth (Suntec): World's Largest Fountain<br /><br />The Fountain of Wealth is located underground within the commercial complex (largest shopping mall) of Suntec City in Singapore and is famous for being the largest fountain in the world.

The 80-foot-high fountain had been built like a circular pyramid with a flight of steps from the four sides going up the six platforms to the fountain on the top.

It instantly grooms dry cuticles, works wonders on hands and elbows, removes makeup, and soothes and conditions itchy, dry skin all over the body. ”When your skin feels extra parched, you can dab a thin layer of organic extra-virgin olive oil under your moisturizer for an extra dose of antioxidants and good fatty acids,” adds Gabriel.<br /><br />2: Try natural exfoliants like yogurt, papaya, and pumpkin.<br /><br />You can find plenty of options for natural dry skin care in your kitchen, or in the produce and diary aisles of your supermarket. Yogurt, especially the plain Greek variety, makes an excellent cleanser with a mild exfoliating action that will remove dry skin and leave you feeling refreshed and comfortable. Gabriel says it’s a particularly safe exfoliant for very dry skin because it exfoliates using lactic acid, not scrubbing granules.<br /><br />To add some oomph, try making Pecnikov’s Greek Yogurt and Papaya Enzyme Conditioning Mask for Face & Décolleté: Mix ½ cup of Greek yogurt with 3 tablespoons of mashed-up papaya, and apply to skin.<br /><br />Pumpkin enzymes are at play in her Pumpkin & Cinnamon Mask for Face and Body: mix one can of pumpkin and a ½ teaspoon of cinnamon powder.<br /><br />Leave either mask on face or body for 5 to 15 minutes.<br />Or treat your extremities to her Three Berry Antioxidant Hand and Foot Mask: Mix 3/4 cup each of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries with ½ cup kefir in blender. Drink any leftovers!<br /><br /><br />3: Make a homemade skin scrub.<br /><br />Economical and effective, a combo of sugar and any oil you may have around the kitchen makes a rich, nourishing body scrub for dry skin, according to Gabriel.<br /><br />Simply mix equal amounts of fine brown sugar and oil, and rub on using light circular motions.<br /><br />For an extra dose of vitamins and minerals, add a tablespoon of honey. Pecnikov adds lemon juice to her recipe.<br /><br />Make sure to shower thoroughly afterwards!<br /><br /><br /><br />4: Harvest the healing power of honey.<br /><br />Honey is a time-tested cure for chapped, cracked lips, according to Gabriel.<br /><br />Apply a little organic honey in the evening and wake up to smooth, yummy lips. This trick also works to soothe cracked heels and rough elbows.<br /><br />5: Try natural remedies for dry hair.<br /><br />For dry hair, mix one egg yolk and a tablespoon of liquid castile soap to shampoo your hair and condition your itchy scalp. Egg yolks, when massaged into the hair and left to work for 5 to 6 minutes, may strengthen the scalp, and some believe it prevents hair loss, says Gabriel.<br /><br />Or try Pecnikov’s Hydrating Mask for Dry Overworked Hair: Mix 1 avocado with 2 tablespoons each of lightly heated rapeseed and olive oil. Massage into hair, and put plastic shower cap on head to retain heat and moisture. Leave on hair for 15 minutes. Double the ingredients for longer hair.<br /><br /><br />6: And don’t forget to treat your skin from the inside out.<br /><br />“A diet rich in magnesium, essential fatty acids, vitamin C, and beta-carotene naturally feeds your skin from inside and makes it less prone to dryness,” says Gabriel. She recommends feeding your skin with a meal plan that includes dark chocolate, salmon, and other fatty fish, oranges, mango, and carrots.</div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-56320473173204914462011-04-08T01:23:00.000-07:002011-04-08T01:24:01.720-07:00Nine Spectacular and Unique Flightless Birds in the World<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em; color: rgb(204, 204, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; font-weight: normal; ">There are many species of birds but these ones in the list are more vulnerable to harm because they cannot fly to escape danger.</span></h3><div class="post-body entry-content" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />All of the birds that live in this world are all beautiful, but these birds that are listed below are even more unique because of its inability to fly.<br /><br /><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIwPEACIoOptAvRb7aYVu_a3LJcducFk4FZeWEqQgT8YM0nMcKFMe21Hxe_P6bejxDR4ZUy8Gpi2U4myRBpQOyV1_sFtAljHtYoBuFZ3vwO3ytBopdB_7d0Eg2oSbD2jSlc3QeG7vDRE/s1600-h/2.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIwPEACIoOptAvRb7aYVu_a3LJcducFk4FZeWEqQgT8YM0nMcKFMe21Hxe_P6bejxDR4ZUy8Gpi2U4myRBpQOyV1_sFtAljHtYoBuFZ3vwO3ytBopdB_7d0Eg2oSbD2jSlc3QeG7vDRE/s320/2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262994791631475650" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 320px; " /></a>Takahe Bird<br /><br /><br /><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">is bird is only found in New Zealand and is considered to be an endangered specie of any living flightless birds under rail family.

Its kind lives only in the Southern hemisphere, it is because of the cold temperature there. There about 20 species of penguins but is still debated until now. The largest living species is the Emperor Penguin, while the smallest is the Little Blue Penguin. Penguins usually feed on fishes, squids and other small sea preys they could find while swimming underwater.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7TOjuLvpfo0LjQwOgFM4SvPNdIN4Im7AU5dvMxtRT0UKaH0pT1e89ZpwQTu9ELkvbWTOWv-oxulFkSr6LDopKFKeXpjt6NhL0OlgscpYe5wV8802JyS_BnCvb2t4j56PH5f029oYrS-c/s1600-h/4.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7TOjuLvpfo0LjQwOgFM4SvPNdIN4Im7AU5dvMxtRT0UKaH0pT1e89ZpwQTu9ELkvbWTOWv-oxulFkSr6LDopKFKeXpjt6NhL0OlgscpYe5wV8802JyS_BnCvb2t4j56PH5f029oYrS-c/s320/4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262994770033043714" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px; " /></a>Kiwi<br /><br /><br />This bird is endemic to New Zealand and is used as the national symbol of the country. This flightless bird is considered to be the smallest among the ratites. There are about 5 species of this kind of bird. Kiwis are very shy and nocturnal that is why they are vulnerable to predators, but ever since people built sanctuaries for them, they can already be seen in daylight. They have a very sharp sense of smell, and they are a very unusual kind of bird having nostrils at the end of their bills.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH8NsHuij9vjxXkiKQ-A8n-2e7V9GzdhyLZNJEuAWTtrBwBmKFHAubcyVe2p3iwR-hxwyw-GYLxiDJqsra8UamXwEhF4c9Qj0LiUphEa_27_EBR6sAAX-NCDlsm3YhE8zjSEZv012a5B4/s1600-h/5.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH8NsHuij9vjxXkiKQ-A8n-2e7V9GzdhyLZNJEuAWTtrBwBmKFHAubcyVe2p3iwR-hxwyw-GYLxiDJqsra8UamXwEhF4c9Qj0LiUphEa_27_EBR6sAAX-NCDlsm3YhE8zjSEZv012a5B4/s320/5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262994763942915506" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 228px; height: 320px; " /></a>Cassowary<br /><br /><br />This is knwon to be the second largest flightless birds next to ostrich.

This bird reaches up to 2 m (6.5 ft) in height, and is common to mainland Australia. Almost the same as the ostrich, it can run up to the maximum speed of 30 miled per hour. It is not yet becoming extinct nor is it near of becoming endagnered. It is because of its environment that makes it sake frm any harm. There are about three extant specie in Australia.<br />Flightless Cormorant or Galapagos Cormorant<br /><br /><br />The name itself would suggest that it is a native in the Galapagos Island. Among any other cormorants, this is the only specie that has lost the ability to fly, it could be because this bird has adopted life on the land and water. This bird has an estimated 1500 embers left on the wild that is why many groups try to have active conservation program to save the lives of the remaining flightless cormorant. It normally feeds on fishes, eels, small octopus, and other small sea creatures. This bird is considered to be the largest among its extant species. Reproduction of its bird starts on the coldest months like July to October when there is an abundant food.</div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-79041804519147455342011-04-08T01:20:00.000-07:002011-04-08T01:21:58.010-07:00Horrible Smelling Foods<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em; color: rgb(204, 204, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; font-weight: normal; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg404P8W_-3mhr1-I5RMr1TWg8tbpMFkm47LP7CAj70oVDE1sT6O4lySWq5LsGkAsfnYRqW4KCwv82AH39ZEsDPhXY4Xpv62_MKAcm2Dc4AsPSgksoWHhRltZZDIHKykQIPOmwoIYwJNTo/s1600-h/1.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; ">There are foods that will make you sick by their smell.

In spite of its odor, it tastes heavenly. As the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace puts it, it flesh is like "a rich custard highly flavored with almonds," while English novelist Anthony Burgess compared his experience of eating durian to "eating sweet raspberry blancmange in the lavatory." Durian is widely used to flavor an assortment of sweet and savory Southeast Asian cuisines as candies, biscuits and ice creams. However, due to its smell, it is banned from establishments as airports and hotels.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzvytM_ag-12o3hkGx-0NTtiaky2YX8Xazjn8EZ-ITSc5XM12_g9diCCoaA6w5wXDKimEPzrhDapUxHcd1JnS7TfoRtCnyzBHRadIWvpZFbsOP70_CD9_apZzo93tt_BLX6GgRv2kHF3k/s1600-h/3.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzvytM_ag-12o3hkGx-0NTtiaky2YX8Xazjn8EZ-ITSc5XM12_g9diCCoaA6w5wXDKimEPzrhDapUxHcd1JnS7TfoRtCnyzBHRadIWvpZFbsOP70_CD9_apZzo93tt_BLX6GgRv2kHF3k/s320/3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263359635899205346" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a>Limburger Cheese<br /><br />Limburger cheese is a high calorie and cholesterol-rich German/Belgium dairy product well-known for its pungent aroma. It is made from pasteurized goat's milk fermented in the bacterium Brevibacterium linens, the very same bacterium found on human skin and partly responsible for body odor. So, if by chance you walked past someone who hasn't taken a bath in a month and thought if only such a scent could be turned into something edible, then, take heart, treat yourself with some Limburger cheese!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeLvpIxZ-fmoveEj2joYbT1Hf7pVWG12Q7MGRZ9pglgj8G81jayO0I7yFsZMm7sCW8rbYpksUcUSuQPyJXFapowrYMRVn4wVOF-bttRQJSQ3Sf_VM6ouorqcV8nZ_RVMsa9-OeEdIy-y0/s1600-h/4.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeLvpIxZ-fmoveEj2joYbT1Hf7pVWG12Q7MGRZ9pglgj8G81jayO0I7yFsZMm7sCW8rbYpksUcUSuQPyJXFapowrYMRVn4wVOF-bttRQJSQ3Sf_VM6ouorqcV8nZ_RVMsa9-OeEdIy-y0/s320/4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263359628568811522" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a>Natto<br /><br />Natto is a popular traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans, most usually eaten during breakfast to accompany rice. Commonly used as an ingredient of miso soup, salad and even ice cream, it has a somewhat nutty and salty taste that somehow contradicts its rather strong ammoniac smell. Supported by medical studies, natto contains a chemical enzyme, aptly called nattokinase, which can reduce the likelihood of blood clotting, and thus, can help to prevent heart attack and strokes. It is also rich in vitamin K, which can assist in bone formation, thereby preventing osteoporosis.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiJ52eBLAs1vWkPcElcoKXyOUbLOyn3utAjRLDuBn0tFhCi3mL714LvwNN1bP02HGTVjHvJk2iI0GYxOhHzfMqGRrQAu7t7l3A8u8JklWL8koyDeph3wlzBX6KI0mtqKzRnPDFLLK_7Q/s1600-h/5.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiJ52eBLAs1vWkPcElcoKXyOUbLOyn3utAjRLDuBn0tFhCi3mL714LvwNN1bP02HGTVjHvJk2iI0GYxOhHzfMqGRrQAu7t7l3A8u8JklWL8koyDeph3wlzBX6KI0mtqKzRnPDFLLK_7Q/s320/5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263359626569607186" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a>Surströmming<br /><br />Also called as "soured herring", surströmming is a Swedish delicacy consisting of fermented Baltic herring. Freshly caught herring are cleaned, placed in barrels to be fermented for about 2 months, and then canned for another 6 to 12 months of fermentation. Gases accumulate considerably inside the cans, building up an enormous amount of pressure that causes the once cylindrically-shaped cans to swell into rounded ones. Several major airlines have banned the fish citing the possibility of the pressurized cans exploding in-flight. The dish is often eaten outdoors due to its smell, which is a blend of amazing aromas including rancid-butter butyric acid, pungent propionic acid, rotten-egg hydrogen sulfide and sour acetic acid. It is normally eaten with bread topped with butter, chopped onions and boiled potatoes and served a glass of cold milk or beer. Though the Swedes do confess that it may not be the world's best smelling food, it certainly makes up for its taste.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNOwiUk9hCE7JaYay4g_ktQ6FeBGWKuDI1YxOQ-Cy1fBi_JwVrh3XwOgrHMKZZO3lkzyD_-EOD6Jfbv6Sn39_jhJq98Yx6R5_8JioPKO4jixEg-XQI-ot0ktIHRyZyluf3fBKlbJySjDY/s1600-h/6.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNOwiUk9hCE7JaYay4g_ktQ6FeBGWKuDI1YxOQ-Cy1fBi_JwVrh3XwOgrHMKZZO3lkzyD_-EOD6Jfbv6Sn39_jhJq98Yx6R5_8JioPKO4jixEg-XQI-ot0ktIHRyZyluf3fBKlbJySjDY/s320/6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263359065733368818" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 252px; " /></a>Century Egg<br /><br />Also known as hundred-year egg and thousand-year egg, century egg is a Chinese delicacy made from duck, quail or chicken eggs preserved in a mixture of clay, ash, lime, salt and rice straw. After the process is completed for several months, the yolk becomes a dark soft, greenish substance that exudes an odor similar to ammonia and sulfur, while the white becomes a dark brownish transparent jelly with little flavor.

Kimchee smells much like sweaty feet. And the bad news is: eating it also makes one smell pretty much the same as the pungent spices such as chili and garlic makes the odor ooze out of your pores even long after you have consumed it. Having a variety of vegetables as its main ingredients, it is reputable for being a healthy food as it contains very high concentration of dietary fiber that can aid digestion, and is rich in various vitamins and minerals that may possibly reduce the risk of some types of cancer.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDCKQfvLQmwzN1qx9HwtOGo17ASXrSpQxBWT7Tg3Jqu2mgyQk7LKZO56N4iA08RsSms7A7Fpq6avGsLDY52bORd3SoHweXyKcmkI8m9vnqFOZi5X_nxIWS9u4aPYofpTPbl0iGjb8AZI8/s1600-h/8.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDCKQfvLQmwzN1qx9HwtOGo17ASXrSpQxBWT7Tg3Jqu2mgyQk7LKZO56N4iA08RsSms7A7Fpq6avGsLDY52bORd3SoHweXyKcmkI8m9vnqFOZi5X_nxIWS9u4aPYofpTPbl0iGjb8AZI8/s320/8.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263359055231646754" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a>Hákarl<br /><br /><br />Hákarl, a traditional Icelandic delicacy, is made from Greenland or basking shark, which is very poisonous in its unprocessed state due to its high uric acid content. The shark is fermented for about 6 to 12 weeks under the ground covered with gravel and topped with stones until all fluids are squeezed out of the body; and then hung to dry for several months. It has a particularly formidable ammoniac smell, much akin to many cleaning products; and a taste that will get your gag reflexes going in no time. Hákarl is generally served in small cubes on toothpicks with a shot of the local brandy brennivin that can somehow ease the eating process. Renowned chef Anthony Bourdain from the Travel Channel hit show "No Reservations" described the dish as "the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing."</div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-7757176643831337792011-04-06T12:53:00.000-07:002011-04-06T12:56:15.318-07:00How to Spot a Liar<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em; color: rgb(204, 204, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; font-weight: normal; ">J.J.

"But because there are no Pinocchio responses to a lie, you have to catch them in it."<br /><br />Sir Walter Scott put it best: "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!" But how can you a catch a person in his own web of lies?<br /><br />"Watch them carefully," says Newberry. "And then when they don't expect it, ask them one question that they are not prepared to answer to trip them up."</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />Tip No. 3: Gauge Against a Baseline<br /><br />"One of the most important indicators of dishonesty is changes in behavior," says Maureen O'Sullivan, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of San Francisco. "You want to pay attention to someone who is generally anxious, but now looks calm. Or, someone who is generally calm but now looks anxious."<br /><br />The trick, explains O'Sullivan, is to gauge their behavior against a baseline. Is a person's behavior falling away from how they would normally act? If it is, that could mean that something is up.<br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">Tip No. 4: Look for Insincere Emotions<br /><br />"Most people can't fake smile," says O'Sullivan. "The timing will be wrong, it will be held too long, or it will be blended with other things. Maybe it will be a combination of an angry face with a smile; you can tell because their lips are smaller and less full than in a sincere smile."<br /><br />These fake emotions are a good indicator that something has gone afoul.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />Tip No. 5: Pay Attention to Gut Reactions<br /><br />"People say, 'Oh, it was a gut reaction or women's intuition,' but what I think they are picking up on are the deviations of true emotions," O'Sullivan tells.<br /><br />While an average person might not know what it is he's seeing when he thinks someone isn't being honest and attribute his suspicion to instinct, a scientist would be able to pinpoint it exactly -- which leads us to tip no. 6.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />Tip No. 6: Watch for Microexpressions<br /><br />When Joe Schmo has a gut feeling, Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in lie detection, sees microexpressions.<br /><br />"A microexpression is a very brief expression, usually about a 25th of a second, that is always a concealed emotion," says Ekman, PhD, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco.<br /><br />So when a person is acting happy, but in actuality is really upset about something, for instance, his true emotion will be revealed in a subconscious flash of anger on his face. Whether the concealed emotion is fear, anger, happiness, or jealousy, that feeling will appear on the face in the blink of an eye. The trick is to see it.<br /><br />"Almost everyone -- 99% of those we've tested in about 10,000 people -- won't see them," says Ekman. "But it can be taught."<br /><br />In fact, in less than an hour, the average person can learn to see microexpressions.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />Tip No. 7: Look for Contradictions<br /><br />"The general rule is anything that a person does with their voice or their gesture that doesn't fit the words they are saying can indicate a lie," says Ekman. "For example, this is going to sound amazing, but it is true. Sometimes when people are lying and saying, 'Yes, she's the one that took the money,' they will without knowing it make a slight head shake 'no.' That's a gesture and it completely contradicts what they're saying in words."<br /><br />These contradictions, explains Ekman, can be between the voice and the words, the gesture and the voice, the gesture and the words, or the face and the words.<br /><br />"It's some aspect of demeanor that is contradicting another aspect," Ekman tells.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />Tip No. 8: A Sense of Unease<br /><br />"When someone isn't making eye contact and that's against how they normally act, it can mean they're not being honest," says Jenn Berman, PhD, a psychologist in private practice. "They look away, they're sweating, they look uneasy ... anything that isn't normal and indicates anxiety."<br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; ">Tip No. 9: Too Much Detail<br /><br />"When you say to someone, 'Oh, where were you?' and they say, 'I went to the store and I needed to get eggs and milk and sugar and I almost hit a dog so I had to go slow,' and on and on, they're giving you too much detail," says Berman.<br /><br />Too much detail could mean they've put a lot of thought into how they're going to get out of a situation and they've crafted a complicated lie as a solution.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />Tip No. 10: Don't Ignore the Truth<br /><br />"It's more important to recognize when someone is telling the truth than telling a lie because people can look like they're lying but be telling truth," says Newberry.<br /><br />While it sounds confusing, finding the truth buried under a lie can sometimes help find the answer to an important question: Why is a person lying?<br /><br />These 10 truth tips, all help detect deception. What they don't do is tell you why a person is lying and what the lie means.<br /><br />"Microexpressions don't tell you the reason," says Ekman. "They just tell you what the concealed emotion is and that there is an emotion being concealed."<br /><br />When you think someone is lying, you have to either know the person well enough to understand why he or she might lie, or be a people expert.<br /><br />"You can see a microexpression, but you have to have more social-emotional intelligence on people to use it accurately," says O'Sullivan. "You have to be a good judge of people to understand what it means."</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />Extra Tip: Be Trusting<br /><br />"In general we have a choice about which stance we take in life," says Ekman. "If we take a suspicious stance life is not going to be too pleasant, but we won't get misled very often. If we take a trusting stance, life is going to be a lot more pleasant but sometimes we are going to be taken in. As a parent or a friend, you're much better off being trusting rather than looking for lies all the time."</p></div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-74296292655245359472011-04-04T06:03:00.000-07:002011-04-04T06:08:28.028-07:0010 of the world strangest plant species!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><div class="post-body entry-content" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3DFgsDZKaZO5rXrBRoZVzBREpzyAHQJ3y_AXIYl5ff8s_cEZaGsIaAgQR2HJ72iG8J6BF_o7RqSUVf8dBHKDjZ-yQ2gWrNDLYKKYYbU9EvZr6iJehZk1C5oCRGOFsr1S6u8GOJAgUyUI/s1600-h/1.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3DFgsDZKaZO5rXrBRoZVzBREpzyAHQJ3y_AXIYl5ff8s_cEZaGsIaAgQR2HJ72iG8J6BF_o7RqSUVf8dBHKDjZ-yQ2gWrNDLYKKYYbU9EvZr6iJehZk1C5oCRGOFsr1S6u8GOJAgUyUI/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376896107221521282" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 556px; " /></a><br /><br />1 Welwitschia Mirabilis: world's most resistant plant<br /><br />It's not pretty to look at, but Namibia's plant Welwitschia Mirabilis can truly claim to be one of a kind. There really is nothing like it. Welwitschia plant consists of only two leaves and a sturdy stem with roots. That's all! Two leaves continue to grow until they resemble the shaggy mane of some sci-fi alien. The stem thickens, rather than gains in height, and can grow to be almost 2 meters high and 8 meters wide. Their estimated lifespan is 400 to 1500 years. It can survive up to five years with no rain. The plant is said to be very tasty either raw or baked in hot ashes, and this is how it got its other name, onyanga, which means onion of the desert.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-L5qughGUdFXHDO_9OwvVkV75VLIXxaQxGwaIaEqBLwR-cE02mV6QYXNIDiIPi-2gm6voAzMXhpvMgmMJ2ryY6fA_wyRSiGSCcJispStVdB_MHdVczCopdBOYyGmoIiPpP3-NwiLrI_c/s1600-h/2.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-L5qughGUdFXHDO_9OwvVkV75VLIXxaQxGwaIaEqBLwR-cE02mV6QYXNIDiIPi-2gm6voAzMXhpvMgmMJ2ryY6fA_wyRSiGSCcJispStVdB_MHdVczCopdBOYyGmoIiPpP3-NwiLrI_c/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376896096744005650" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 452px; height: 305px; " /></a><br /><br />2 Dionaea muscipula: the Venus fly trap<br /><br />The Venus Fly Trap is the most famous of all carnivorous plants due to the active and efficient nature of its unique traps.

That would be growing the largest flower in the world. This exotic, very rare, speckled, though not particularly pretty, rust colored flower is called Rafflesia Arnoldii.<br /><br />Rafflesia Arnoldii, recently assigned to the Euphorbiaceae family, is the biggest, individually produced flower in the world. It gets to be 3 feet across and weighing a whopping 15- 24 pounds. That's pretty darn big but still you would not like this flower in your perennial bed. Why is that? If you could mimic a rainforest type environment for this plant, it gives off a most offensive odor when in bloom. This scent is somewhat like rotting meat. This is why it is often called the Corpse plant by some natives of Indonesia where it originates.<br /><br />Its blossoms only last three days to a week. But in those few days it needs a miracle or two just for survival. This hideous smell it produces attracts pollinating insects to it to help perpetuate the species. But even when this happens only 10-20 percent of the tiny seedlings make it. With any luck in nine months it blooms.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclV9Cw56xuqxam7ceUdGv9x6ugAyqHbboKsgsynvbxPfpqlMVk7-JgOjvpd4KqWAjSlRnam8IfJflC4_mxsYYKdS8E0vfgeTPggLqSQbFXc1sHk55K2aTPDcaBiQ6wS4EUC_7yPgchXI/s1600-h/4.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclV9Cw56xuqxam7ceUdGv9x6ugAyqHbboKsgsynvbxPfpqlMVk7-JgOjvpd4KqWAjSlRnam8IfJflC4_mxsYYKdS8E0vfgeTPggLqSQbFXc1sHk55K2aTPDcaBiQ6wS4EUC_7yPgchXI/s400/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376896087457909474" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 482px; height: 248px; " /></a><br /><br />4 Desmodium gyrans: the dancing plant<br /><br />Darwin called the plant Hedysarum; modern botanists call it either Desmodium gyrans or, more correctly these days, Codariocalyx motorius; its common name is Dancing Grass or Telegraph plant or Semaphore plant -- after the leaf movements, which resemble semaphore signals.

Unsustainable harvesting by plant collectors who value Euphorbia obesa for its interesting and curious appearance has severely impacted wild populations. Consequently, national and international legislation have been enacted to protect remaining populations. While Euphorbia obesa remains endangered in its native habitat, it has become very common in cultivation. By growing large numbers of Euphorbia obesa, nurseries and botanical gardens have been working to ensure that specimens being traded and sold among plant collectors are not obtained from the wild.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1Ujg0_bl7ggqCGGqvJShcRyOLL75IAckIDQ5hNUcg5rEZTNuyOv2nIZoLR8B3jxTWS08-mwUU2uziiz94f-QVdC3HLHdEcAhtFm5vUKUmpCVc2K31yx80dikOwJxDaYlP2N85EiG4II/s1600-h/6.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1Ujg0_bl7ggqCGGqvJShcRyOLL75IAckIDQ5hNUcg5rEZTNuyOv2nIZoLR8B3jxTWS08-mwUU2uziiz94f-QVdC3HLHdEcAhtFm5vUKUmpCVc2K31yx80dikOwJxDaYlP2N85EiG4II/s400/6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376895820615030786" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 449px; height: 329px; " /></a><br /><br />6 Amorphophallus titanum: the corpse flower<br /><br />A flower taller than a man, stinking strongly of putrefying roadkill and colored deep burgundy to mimic rotting flesh, sounds like something from a low-budget science fiction movie.

Due to its fragrance, which is reminiscent of the smell of a decomposing mammal, the titan arum is also known as a carrion flower, the "Corpse flower", or "Corpse plant".<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNkC2zfQNqgafAi3LHRSHpMBGkY6moMU1gVJf65wRpHPuSRFpRG3bvm7oTTmyTmoRQ5AQrqbsPJd4ICw1apR_Lwi0yUBCLKhxjEGZlwg1jmqeeoIOVFA_lBGkbSsC7Tacl80yKSpHMwYw/s1600-h/7.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNkC2zfQNqgafAi3LHRSHpMBGkY6moMU1gVJf65wRpHPuSRFpRG3bvm7oTTmyTmoRQ5AQrqbsPJd4ICw1apR_Lwi0yUBCLKhxjEGZlwg1jmqeeoIOVFA_lBGkbSsC7Tacl80yKSpHMwYw/s400/7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376895815097720658" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 846px; " /></a><br /><br />7 Baobab: the bottle tree<br /><br />Baobab is the common name of a genus (Adansonia) containing eight species of trees, native to Madagascar, mainland Africa and Australia.

Ants<br />Despite their size, the world’s many varieties of ants have amazing skills. One of the most impressive is the mycocepurus smithii from the Amazon, a super feminist species that has developed the ability to reproduce via cloning — dispensing with both sex and males — to evolve into an all-female breed.<br /><br />According to research from the University of Arizona, it’s not clear when the change happened, but by reproducing without sex, the ants avoid the energetic cost of producing males and double the number of reproductive females produced each generation.<br /><br />Unlike us humans, ants have also learned super efficient ways to organize their traffic. And 2006 research by the Berkeley University of California has established that the trap-jaw ant (odontomachus bauri) can close its mandibles at an incredible speed: The strike lasts 0.13 milliseconds, 2,300 times faster than the blink of an eye. This allows them to jump enormous heights for their size.

Elephants<br />They’re huge, and sometimes they seem tired and slow. But it’s no surprise that this mammal’s peculiar nose is really something: Research from the University of St. Andrews suggests that elephants can keep track of up to 30 absent members of their family by sniffing out their scent and building a mental map of where they are. How useful would this little feature be for moms with several kids?<br /><br />Even better, according to another study by the same University, elephants can tell whether a human is friendly or a threat by their scent and color of clothing. So good luck trying to fool them.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOWRBW4S36JvQyeCx_OqpoGh0UZ7Vkmsyx7P7XAnGEw1VOdKY8S3TZZd1LKCPceNHPUpirrwCyZrlo-_5m_vfDM-OXVlG6AifLVxtFk4Rj89L3L4SFo_bh2hmMWesxgflk8LfHQRX_eq0/s1600/4.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOWRBW4S36JvQyeCx_OqpoGh0UZ7Vkmsyx7P7XAnGEw1VOdKY8S3TZZd1LKCPceNHPUpirrwCyZrlo-_5m_vfDM-OXVlG6AifLVxtFk4Rj89L3L4SFo_bh2hmMWesxgflk8LfHQRX_eq0/s400/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497385921928943026" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 241px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />4. Termites<br />In Zimbabwe, the termite species Macrotermes michaelseni has developed a precise technique to farm a specific fungus they feed on. As this fungus can only grow at 87 degrees Fahrenheit, and temperatures outside range from 104 degrees Fahrenheit during day and 35 degrees Fahrenheit at night, the termites have come up with a system to keep the temperature steady in their mounds by constantly opening and closing heating and cooling vents.<br /><br />This is such a useful idea that Loughborough University has conducted research in order to use the same technique in human buildings. Case in point — the Eastgate Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe has been modeled after the termites’ system.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh28GT5eeBDy9SujkgCqubpXJmAc6FeayxJjYhw_-M0Xs2uq60LbAKk1D8bHX1Vv7Myu_uuR_ZRG6WHFXwVNL2gyotDKZFwNYv0YrOMOQUcpHiHa37KorrtwHkvgwklXr8-KBeZR4cAR0w/s1600/5.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh28GT5eeBDy9SujkgCqubpXJmAc6FeayxJjYhw_-M0Xs2uq60LbAKk1D8bHX1Vv7Myu_uuR_ZRG6WHFXwVNL2gyotDKZFwNYv0YrOMOQUcpHiHa37KorrtwHkvgwklXr8-KBeZR4cAR0w/s400/5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497385915036264962" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 241px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />5. Chimps<br /><br />Much has been said about the intelligence of chimps, with some people claiming they’re geniuses and others saying they’re only as smart as a three year old kid. Of course, the actual facts fall in between.<br /><br />But there is at least one area in which chimpanzees are smarter than humans — photographic memory. A study by the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University proves young chimpanzees have an extraordinary working memory capability for numerical recollection, better even than that of human adults tested with the same apparatus following the same procedure.<br /><br />Presented with the same sequence of numbers, small chimps could recall them, outperforming humans. Not too shabby.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5QLihmcVIszrgD8MbcZODmW67hPpKZM911PX7KtKMWezCfzuqn4NFDBXLI7ylXK-BjojMO4FeAxYYQuiLKuR5gT54ovgkVGGk4_bpEa-cshzV_2oeSzY3d_l2B3vDjynBk8nc6VAXeAo/s1600/6.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5QLihmcVIszrgD8MbcZODmW67hPpKZM911PX7KtKMWezCfzuqn4NFDBXLI7ylXK-BjojMO4FeAxYYQuiLKuR5gT54ovgkVGGk4_bpEa-cshzV_2oeSzY3d_l2B3vDjynBk8nc6VAXeAo/s400/6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497385903401668242" border="0" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 241px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />6.

Dolphins<br /></p><br />Ok, again, not officially smarter than humans yet, but dolphins have recently been declared the world’s second most intelligent creatures (after humans). A zoologist from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, according to The Times, has even gone far to say that their “neuroanatomy suggests psychological continuity between humans and dolphins,” and called for reconsideration of human-dolphin interactions. Another scientist from the Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles has even called them ‘non-human persons.’<br /><br />So yes, dolphins are smarter than chimps and with communication skills similar to humans’. Their brains are only second in mass to the human brain, making them cultural animals with distinct personalities with the ability to think about the future, among other faculties. How long will these clever animals put up with human abuse? We hope not too long.</div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-45387432429942835212011-04-01T04:40:00.000-07:002011-04-01T04:49:17.540-07:0010 most barbarous torture methods ever known!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdCa57DDoxZdSSkQqgrbUvvq1Plh6SVjrkxPDZ00pvOAE0-iYRZ1IwoFxkb-lTCUcUqtOqTnzuOAtXOcX2u1SHzzC84xBO7cBCe6DCycRz8y5gSkJ_LpVjHOzzdNfMMQVsFGcqY4f6Tc/s1600-h/1.jpg" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdCa57DDoxZdSSkQqgrbUvvq1Plh6SVjrkxPDZ00pvOAE0-iYRZ1IwoFxkb-lTCUcUqtOqTnzuOAtXOcX2u1SHzzC84xBO7cBCe6DCycRz8y5gSkJ_LpVjHOzzdNfMMQVsFGcqY4f6Tc/s400/1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347934341656983250" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 202px; " /></a></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdCa57DDoxZdSSkQqgrbUvvq1Plh6SVjrkxPDZ00pvOAE0-iYRZ1IwoFxkb-lTCUcUqtOqTnzuOAtXOcX2u1SHzzC84xBO7cBCe6DCycRz8y5gSkJ_LpVjHOzzdNfMMQVsFGcqY4f6Tc/s1600-h/1.jpg" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: underline; "></a>The Rat:<br /><br />A cheap and effective way to torture someone was with the use of rats. There were many variants, but the most common was to force a rat through a victim’s body (usually the intestines) as a way to escape.<br />This was done as follows:<br />The victim was completely restrained and tied to the ground or any horizontal surface. A rat was then placed on his stomach covered by a metallic container. As the container was gradually heated, the rat began to look for a way out - through the victim’s body.<br />Digging a hole usually took a few hours of agonizing pain for the victim.

Even though it was meant as a mild form of punishment, the crowd sometimes made it lethal.<br />The pillory often served as a post for Flagellation. When the victim was restrained with the device, he was completely defenseless and subject to the crowd.<br />In many cases the crowd threw harmless objects such as vegetables, but when the victim committed a serious offense they threw stones or other heavy objects. The crowd often humiliated the victim by cutting his hair, putting marks on his body and even mutilating some of his body parts.<br />The pillory didn’t last more than a few hours, but it was sometimes carried on for days. The device was situated in either the marketplace or the plaza - where most villagers could see the victim’s suffering. The army was also well-known for using the pillory as a means of punishment.<br />.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizNCgsUNvuF9lE2Okr9HFIfFA8FHXKXudsLWQcHNR_JS8LNoWtVPCqATUU-fa52ho00rEiz_jrmAJoiZV_ROa020GB4jUO2Z7DqhrJmkI1uGYzpYTT3Xb5tfIwGXjNOMRb5Ep1sXnL6VA/s1600-h/3.JPG" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizNCgsUNvuF9lE2Okr9HFIfFA8FHXKXudsLWQcHNR_JS8LNoWtVPCqATUU-fa52ho00rEiz_jrmAJoiZV_ROa020GB4jUO2Z7DqhrJmkI1uGYzpYTT3Xb5tfIwGXjNOMRb5Ep1sXnL6VA/s400/3.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347934329676437250" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 231px; " /></a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizNCgsUNvuF9lE2Okr9HFIfFA8FHXKXudsLWQcHNR_JS8LNoWtVPCqATUU-fa52ho00rEiz_jrmAJoiZV_ROa020GB4jUO2Z7DqhrJmkI1uGYzpYTT3Xb5tfIwGXjNOMRb5Ep1sXnL6VA/s1600-h/3.JPG" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "></a>The Chair of Torture :<br /><br />Also known as the Judas Chair, the Chair of Torture was a terrible device of the Middle Ages. It was used until the late 1800’s in Europe.<br />There are many variants of the chair. They all have one thing in common: spikes cover the back, arm-rests, seat, leg-rests and foot-rests. The number of spikes in one of these chairs ranges from 500 to 1,500.<br />To avoid movement, the victim’s wrists were tied to the chair or, in one version, two bars pushed the arms against arm-rests for the spikes to penetrate the flesh even further. In some versions, there were holes under the chair’s bottom where the torturer placed coal to cause severe burns while the victim still remained conscious.<br />This instrument’s strength lies primarily in the psychological fear caused on the victims. It was a common practice to extract a confession by forcing the victim to watch someone else be tortured with this instrument.<br />The time of death greatly varied ranging from a few hours to a day or more. No spike penetrated any vital organ and the wound was closed by the spike itself which delayed blood loss greatly.<br />.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj_42MEHU6dBAf5oEXyIqUPL4M15etS-c7G0ahxd9cMjtBnEdUQVbx6Lbf_Dkm9WlCD177vQDlTLFMswe_kqoqArJWoJJRvn7xtqAhmE7pYxoT3wAserpHKGmwae5UxNBcQF289Zkb8BU/s1600-h/4.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj_42MEHU6dBAf5oEXyIqUPL4M15etS-c7G0ahxd9cMjtBnEdUQVbx6Lbf_Dkm9WlCD177vQDlTLFMswe_kqoqArJWoJJRvn7xtqAhmE7pYxoT3wAserpHKGmwae5UxNBcQF289Zkb8BU/s400/4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347934332722358754" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 239px; " /></a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj_42MEHU6dBAf5oEXyIqUPL4M15etS-c7G0ahxd9cMjtBnEdUQVbx6Lbf_Dkm9WlCD177vQDlTLFMswe_kqoqArJWoJJRvn7xtqAhmE7pYxoT3wAserpHKGmwae5UxNBcQF289Zkb8BU/s1600-h/4.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "></a>The Knee Splitter:<br /><br />The knee splitter, a terrible torture, was mostly used during the Inquisition. What this instrument accomplished was to permanently render the knees useless.<br />Even though the name implies that this instrument was only used for “splitting” knees, it was also used in other body parts including: the elbows, arms and even the lower legs.<br />As the torturer turned the handle, the claws slowly slammed against each other mutilating any skin in between. The number of spikes the knee splitter contained varied from three to more than twenty.<br />There were many variants to this instrument. Some claws were heated beforehand to maximize pain - others had dozens of small claws that penetrated the flesh slowly and painfully.<br />Even though this method very seldom provoked direct death, it was often followed by other more painful methods if the victim refused to cooperate.<br />.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtLRn1M60xEpaVDkUCZT-_VUGRkvz1KbrifjekqmL1kA1yuERX9Bo_WgPQm3aqj4hYLN_oVtE28OX48U6J7BuCfayCvDMmPaf8gln-SAvxL1xYai6ROpqkn9cf6BefoXRtVqgyI7I5wAM/s1600-h/5.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtLRn1M60xEpaVDkUCZT-_VUGRkvz1KbrifjekqmL1kA1yuERX9Bo_WgPQm3aqj4hYLN_oVtE28OX48U6J7BuCfayCvDMmPaf8gln-SAvxL1xYai6ROpqkn9cf6BefoXRtVqgyI7I5wAM/s400/5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347934167198759410" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 166px; " /></a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtLRn1M60xEpaVDkUCZT-_VUGRkvz1KbrifjekqmL1kA1yuERX9Bo_WgPQm3aqj4hYLN_oVtE28OX48U6J7BuCfayCvDMmPaf8gln-SAvxL1xYai6ROpqkn9cf6BefoXRtVqgyI7I5wAM/s1600-h/5.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "></a>The Wheel:<br /><br />This device was used as a capital punishment during the Middle Ages. Reserved for hated criminals, The Wheel always killed its victim, but did so very slowly.<br />The Wheel originated in Greece and quickly spread to Germany, France, Russia, England and Sweden. The device consists of a large wooden wheel with many spokes. The victim’s limbs were tied to the spokes and the wheel itself was slowly revolved. Through the openings between the spokes, the torturer usually hit the victim with an iron hammer that could easily break the victim’s bones. Once his bones were broken, he was left on the wheel to die, sometimes placed on a tall pole so the birds could feed from the still-living human.<br />In France, many executioners used the coups de grâce, which caused lethal injuries, to make the victim’s death faster. When extreme pain was desired, the victim just had his bones broken and left there to die. It could take up to two or three days for him to die of dehydration.<br />.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLIruSpKLK4bGd6YsHDoTzKQM5JXsUwVJlLBx6UrtV5kqykdnUyC7DFLWjrUaCiddI1Dde0q-eVb_0iOM0jr7zuEmVCGeYH5S_PMtU9BdYgLXYFIGxpFrdQ8LGXBq5USXAGpVeyRqbNc/s1600-h/6.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLIruSpKLK4bGd6YsHDoTzKQM5JXsUwVJlLBx6UrtV5kqykdnUyC7DFLWjrUaCiddI1Dde0q-eVb_0iOM0jr7zuEmVCGeYH5S_PMtU9BdYgLXYFIGxpFrdQ8LGXBq5USXAGpVeyRqbNc/s400/6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347934163621811042" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 177px; " /></a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLIruSpKLK4bGd6YsHDoTzKQM5JXsUwVJlLBx6UrtV5kqykdnUyC7DFLWjrUaCiddI1Dde0q-eVb_0iOM0jr7zuEmVCGeYH5S_PMtU9BdYgLXYFIGxpFrdQ8LGXBq5USXAGpVeyRqbNc/s1600-h/6.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "></a>The Thumbscrew:<br /><br />The victim’s fingers were placed inside the instrument and slowly crushed as the torturer turned the handle on top.

The Heretics Fork made speech and neck movement almost impossible and was used after a confession to avoid hearing the victim any further. As can be seen in the picture, a small collar supported the fork forcing the victim to hold his head erect.<br />Sometimes the victim was incarcerated and subject to this instrument as well.

It is enough for one to look at the picture to the left to realize the reason.<br />The victim was placed inside the “coffin”. Torturers were well-known for forcing overweight victims into the device, or even making the “coffin” slightly larger than normal to make the victims more uncomfortable.<br />The period of time a victim was to be kept inside the coffin was determined by his or her crime. Very serious crimes, such as blasphemy, were punished by death inside the coffin where the victim was to be kept inside under the sun with animals eating his or her flesh.<br />The coffin was sometimes placed in a public plaza so the local population would congregate around it and mock the unlucky victim. Sometimes death occurred because of the hatred towards the person as others often threw rocks and other objects to further increase the pain.<br />.<br /><br /><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigojhyphenhyphenVZLojn8cRTf-4E1C8bJU-W9B7IqUVx61SeLbyhbcep3wGctYi6VFli2p6q34TQvAcuMj4YrGwBaNQqqsjUbQRfaZ6_GuhlYJ-C9dDCRqX47Lud28lnGxpUsEB99TC7e9d8_ydXg/s1600-h/10.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigojhyphenhyphenVZLojn8cRTf-4E1C8bJU-W9B7IqUVx61SeLbyhbcep3wGctYi6VFli2p6q34TQvAcuMj4YrGwBaNQqqsjUbQRfaZ6_GuhlYJ-C9dDCRqX47Lud28lnGxpUsEB99TC7e9d8_ydXg/s400/10.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347934150506437682" style="border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 320px; " /></a></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigojhyphenhyphenVZLojn8cRTf-4E1C8bJU-W9B7IqUVx61SeLbyhbcep3wGctYi6VFli2p6q34TQvAcuMj4YrGwBaNQqqsjUbQRfaZ6_GuhlYJ-C9dDCRqX47Lud28lnGxpUsEB99TC7e9d8_ydXg/s1600-h/10.jpg" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); text-decoration: underline; "></a>The Head crusher<br /><br />The head crusher was widely used during most of the Middle Ages, especially the Inquisition.

One such is the American University of Sharjah, founded in 1997. It’s a sign of globalization in the Persian Gulf region.

Dave believed the idea was one of his best and would draw attention to the company, while simultaneously helping to build our brand. However, when he started spreading the idea of building a Home Office that was really a basket, he found that most people just thought that Dave was making a joke as Dave was a notorious practical joker. Not only did the bankers, architects and construction companies not take Dave seriously, neither did many of the employees who worked for The Longaberger Company, but Dave persevered.

It was designed by Croatian-born Czech architect Vlado Milunic in co-operation with Canadian architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot (where the previous building had been destroyed during the Bombing of Prague in 1945). The construction started in 1994 and was finished in 1996.<br /><br />The very non-traditional design was controversial at the time. Czech president Vaclav Havel, who lived for decades next to the site, had supported it, hoping that the building would become a center of cultural activity. Originally named Fred and Ginger (after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - the house vaguely resembles a pair of dancers) the house stands out among the Neo-Baroque, Neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous.<br /><br /><br />On the roof is a French restaurant with magnificent views of the city. The building's other tenants include several multinational firms. (The plans for a cultural center were not realized.)

boost your mood</strong>: Psychologists have found that even if you're in bad mood, you can instantly lift your spirits by forcing yourself to smile.</li><li><strong>It boosts your immune system</strong>: Smiling really can improve your physical health, too. Your body is more relaxed when you smile, which contributes to good health and a stronger immune system.</li><li><strong>Smiles are contagious</strong>: It's not just a saying: smiling really is contagious, scientists say. In a study conducted in Sweden, people had difficulty frowning when they looked at other subjects who were smiling, and their muscles twitched into smiles all on their own.</li><li><strong>Smiles Relieve Stress</strong>: Your body immediately releases endorphins when you smile, even when you force it. This sudden change in mood will help you feel better and release stress.</li><li><strong>It's easier to smile than to frown</strong>: Scientists have discovered that your body has to work harder and use more muscles to frown than it does to smile.</li><li><strong>It's a universal sign of happiness</strong>: While hand shakes, hugs, and bows all have varying meanings across cultures, smiling is known around the world and in all cultures as a sign of happiness and acceptance.</li><li><strong>We still smile at work</strong>: While we smile less at work than we do at home, 30% of subjects in a research study smiled five to 20 times a day, and 28% smiled over 20 times per day at the office.</li><li><strong>Smiles use from 5 to 53 facial muscles</strong>: Just smiling can require your body to use up to 53 muscles, but some smiles only use 5 muscle movements.</li><li><strong>Babies are born with the ability to smile</strong>: Babies learn a lot of behaviors and sounds from watching the people around them, but scientists believe that all babies are born with the ability, since even blind babies smile.</li><li><strong>Smiling helps you get promoted</strong>: Smiles make a person seem more attractive, sociable and confident, and people who smile more are more likely to get a promotion.</li><li><strong>Smiles are the most easily recognizable facial expression</strong>: People can recognize smiles from up to 300 feet away, making it the most easily recognizable facial expression.</li><li><strong>Women smile more than men</strong>: Generally, women smile more than men, but when they participate in similar work or social roles, they smile the same amount. This finding leads scientists to believe that gender roles are quite flexible. Boy babies, though, do smile less than girl babies, who also make more eye contact.</li><li><strong>Smiles are more attractive than makeup</strong>: A research study conducted by Orbit Complete discovered that 69% of people find women more attractive when they smile than when they are wearing makeup.</li><li><strong>Babies start smiling as newborns</strong>: Most doctors believe that real smiles occur when babies are awake at the age of four-to-six weeks, but babies start smiling in their sleep as soon as they're born.</li></ol></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-11849468738441161522011-03-27T07:17:00.000-07:002011-03-27T07:19:07.044-07:0010 Health Habits That Will Help You Live to 100<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3em; color: rgb(204, 204, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; font-weight: normal; ">The biggest factor that determines how well you age is not your genes but how well you live.

Of course, getting to age 100 is enormously more likely if your parents did. Still, Thomas Perls, who studies the century-plus set at Boston University School of Medicine, believes that assuming you've sidestepped genes for truly fatal diseases like Huntington's, "there's nothing stopping you from living independently well into your 90s." Heck, if your parents and grandparents were heavy smokers, they might have died prematurely without ever reaching their true potential lifespan, so go ahead and shoot for those triple digits. </p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>1. </strong><strong>D</strong><strong>on't retire.</strong> <strong></strong>"Evidence shows that in societies where people stop working abruptly, the incidence of obesity and chronic disease skyrockets after retirement," says Luigi Ferrucci, director of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. The Chianti region of Italy, which has a high percentage of centenarians, has a different take on leisure time. "After people retire from their jobs, they spend most of the day working on their little farm, cultivating grapes or vegetables," he says. "They're never really inactive." Farming isn't for you? .</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>2. F</strong><strong>loss every day.</strong> That may help keep your arteries healthy. A 2008 New York University study showed that daily flossing reduced the amount of gum-disease-causing bacteria in the mouth. This bacteria is thought to enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation in the arteries, a major risk factor for heart disease. Other research has shown that those who have high amounts of bacteria in their mouth are more likely to have thickening in their arteries, another sign of heart diesease. "I really do think people should floss twice a day to get the biggest life expectancy benefits," stresses Perls.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>3. </strong><strong>M</strong><strong>ove </strong><strong>around</strong><strong>.</strong> <strong></strong>"Exercise is the only real fountain of youth that exists," says Jay Olshansky, a professor of medicine and aging researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago. "It's like the oil and lube job for your car. You don't have to do it, but your car will definitely run better." Study after study has documented the benefits of exercise to improve your mood, mental acuity, balance, muscle mass, and bones. "And the benefits kick in immediately after your first workout," Olshansky adds. Don't worry if you're not a gym rat. Those who see the biggest payoffs are the ones who go from doing nothing to simply walking around the neighborhood or local mall for about 30 minutes a day. Building muscle with resistance training is also ideal, but yoga classes can give you similar strength-training effects if you're not into weight lifting.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>4. </strong><strong>E</strong><strong>at </strong><strong>a fiber-rich cereal</strong> <strong>for breakfast.</strong> Getting a serving of whole-grains, especially in the morning, appears to help older folks maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day, according to a recent study conducted by Ferrucci and his colleagues. "Those who do this have a lower incidence of diabetes, a known accelerator of aging," he says.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>5. </strong><strong>G</strong><strong>et at least six hours of shut-eye. </strong>Instead of skimping on sleep to add more hours to your day, get more to add years to your life. "Sleep is one of the most important functions that our body uses to regulate and heal cells," says Ferrucci. "We've calculated that the minimum amount of sleep that older people need to get those healing REM phases is about six hours." Those who reach the century mark make sleep a top priority.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>6. </strong><strong>C</strong><strong>onsume whole foods, not supplements.</strong> <strong></strong>Strong evidence suggests that people who have high blood levels of certain nutrients—selenium, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E—age much better and have a slower rate of cognitive decline. Unfortunately, there's no evidence that taking pills with these nutrients provides those antiaging benefits. "There are more than 200 different carotenoids and 200 different flavonoids in a single tomato," points out Ferrucci, "and these chemicals can all have complex interactions that foster health beyond the single nutrients we know about like lycopene or vitamin C." Avoid nutrient-lacking white foods (breads, flour, sugar) and go for all those colorful fruits and vegetables and dark whole-grain breads and cereals with their host of hidden nutrients.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>7. </strong><strong>Be less neurotic.</strong> <strong></strong>It may work for Woody Allen, who infuses his worries with a healthy dose of humor, but the rest of us neurotics may want to find a new way to deal with stress. "We have a new study coming out that shows that centenarians tend not to internalize things or dwell on their troubles," says Perls. "They are great at rolling with the punches." If this inborn trait is hard to overcome, find better ways to manage when you're stressed: Yoga, exercise, meditation, tai chi, or just deep breathing for a few moments are all good. Ruminating, eating chips in front of the TV, binge drinking? Bad, very bad.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>8. </strong><strong>Live like a Seventh Day Adventist</strong> <strong>. </strong>Americans who define themselves as Seventh Day Adventists have an average life expectancy of 89, about a decade longer than the average American. One of the basic tenets of the religion is that it's important to cherish the body that's on loan from God, which means no smoking, alcohol abuse, or overindulging in sweets. Followers typically stick to a vegetarian diet based on fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts, and get plenty of exercise. They're also very focused on family and community.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>9. </strong><strong>Be a creature</strong> <strong>of habit.</strong> <strong></strong>Centenarians tend to live by strict routines, says Olshansky, eating the same kind of diet and doing the same kinds of activities their whole lives. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day is another good habit to keep your body in the steady equilibrium that can be easily disrupted as you get on in years. "Your physiology becomes frailer when you get older," explains Ferrucci, "and it's harder for your body to bounce back if you, say, miss a few hours of sleep one night or drink too much alcohol." This can weaken immune defenses, leaving you more susceptible to circulating flu viruses or bacterial infections.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><strong>10. </strong><strong>S</strong><strong>tay connected.</strong> <strong></strong>Having regular social contacts with friends and loved ones is key to avoiding depression, which can lead to premature death, something that's particularly prevalent in elderly widows and widowers. Some psychologists even think that one of the biggest benefits elderly folks get from exercise the strong social interactions that come from walking with a buddy or taking a group exercise class. Having a daily connection with a close friend or family member gives older folks the added benefit of having someone watch their back. "They'll tell you if they think your memory is going or if you seem more withdrawn," says Perls, "and they might push you to see a doctor before you recognize that you need to see one yourself."</p></div></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-75384371495734918342011-03-25T11:32:00.001-07:002011-03-25T11:32:43.457-07:0040 Amazing Uses for Aloe Vera!<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "><ol><li>Pamper yourself to a soothing body rub.

This doesn’t mean all food labels are lying because plenty of products are “fat free” or made with “real fruit,” but what about the other nutritional facts or ingredients? Unfortunately, the FDA does not regulate all food labels and cannot keep food manufacturers from using clever wording to avoid a potential lawsuit. What you can do is read the nutritional facts and ingredients list to find the truth behind the fancy wording and manipulative marketing. Here are 10 misleading food labels to look out for:</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "><br /></p><ul><li><strong>“Zero grams trans fat”</strong><br /><br />Since trans fat have become the ultimate no-no in today’s diet, many companies have cut trans fat from their products. However, it has led way to a manipulative marketing move to promote 0 grams of trans fat, without indicating the product’s level of saturated and total fat. Food labels know people are looking for the label that says “0 grams trans fat,” but they may skip over the saturated and total fat amount, which is just as important.</li></ul><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><ul><li><strong>“All natural”</strong><br />The “all natural” stamp is one of the most abused and misleading food labels used by food manufacturers today. Many of these so-called “all natural” products use citric acid, high-fructose corn syrup and other unnatural additives, but still get to bear that positive label. Always check the ingredients list to know exactly what’s in your food.</li></ul><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><ul><li><strong>“Whole grains”</strong><br />Chances are you’ve seen the label, “Made with Whole Grains,” pop up on bread, crackers or rice products now more than ever. The reality is that many of these whole grain products are actually made with refined wheat flour and maybe a small percentage of whole grains. In order to check the validity of the whole grains label, check out the listed ingredients. Unless “whole grains” is one of the first ingredients on the list or if you see “enriched wheat flour,” it’s likely that your product contains a small percentage of whole grains.</li></ul><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><ul><li><strong>“Fiber”</strong><br />Food products that contain fiber has become a growing trend in the food industry because consumers are looking for foods that are going to keep them fuller for longer, help regulate their digestive systems and lower their blood sugar. Shoppers might see their favorite cereal bar or yogurt is labeled “a good source of fiber,” but they won’t see where the fiber comes from listed anywhere. Many of the products you find with the label “contains fiber” actually contain isolated fibers, like inulin, maltodextrin, pectin, gum and other purified powders that are added to boost the not-so-fibrous foods.</li></ul><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><ul><li><strong>“Light”</strong><br />When a food label says “light” as in “extra light olive oil,” consumers are misled to think that a product is light in fat or the fat content has been cut in half. Unless the product says reduced fat, “light” is generally referring to a lighter color of the original product, such as light-colored olive oil.</li></ul><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><ul><li><strong>“Heart healthy”</strong><br />Many of today’s foods claim to be “heart healthy,” but don’t have FDA approval or scientific evidence to support such bold claims. These types of “heart healthy” labels mislead consumers into thinking they will improve their heart health by eating this particular food. Considering that heart disease is the number one killer in America, this food label is dangerous to promote if it’s not true.</li></ul><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><ul><li><strong>“Low fat”</strong><br />The label “low fat” can be very misleading to consumers because, while it may be low in fat, it may also be loaded with sugar or sodium that won’t be highlighted. In addition, manufacturers are playing into people’s awareness of fats and efforts to lower their fat intake by advertising exactly what they’re looking for. Don’t be fooled by a “low fat” food label without examining the rest of the nutrition facts, and making sure that the product is well-balanced and healthy in its other areas.</li></ul><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><ul><li><strong>“Low sugar”</strong><br />Just like “low fat” indicators, “low sugar” food labels are misleading for consumers because it plays up one nutritional factor to downplay a not-so-healthy factor, such as a high amount of calories, sugars or fat. Manufacturers also get around saying “contains sugar” by saying “lightly sweetened” or “no sugar added,” but you have to look at how much sugar is in each serving to know for sure.</li></ul><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><ul><li><strong>“Free range”</strong><br />The “free range” food label can be found on meat, dairy and eggs at your local grocery store, but this progressive way of farming is not always as it seems. What consumers may not know and won’t see on their “free range” foods is that the USDA regulations only apply to poultry. Therefore, “free range” beef, pork and other non-poultry animals were fed grass and allowed to live outdoors, but their products are not regulated by the USDA. Another misconception consumers have about “free range” is that these products are also organic. Unless it’s labeled free range AND organic, free range animals may be fed nonorganic fed that could contain animal byproducts and hormones.</li></ul><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; "></p><ul><li><strong>“Fresh”</strong><br />The “fresh” food label can be very misleading to consumers, by making them think their chicken was killed the day before, or their “freshly squeezed” orange juice was prepared that day. The label “fresh” simply means that it was not frozen or is uncooked, but many of these products are allowed to be chilled, kept on ice or in</li></ul></span>muhammad arslan sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988631444373807226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858516526069319637.post-27020526713489422452011-03-24T03:38:00.000-07:002011-03-24T04:03:42.666-07:00The best ILLUSIONS!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><u>This is trippy</u></span></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqx8JKIkrOKenXplsuAiGXVdglf2JgLNyKFaAGTi_8V-QfwfK8ZTJRs0aAXBn0YNDDfHrXoDYIoWg4V9ZCam4OsdbhJjQoyZjgSsZnAdtoP4AqFumLUJ5o2upnb9bLR8vZXXdNptCX-_30/s1600/8.jpg"><img style="display:block;
