Interesting & Funny

She exposes the every single thing of her life:
It’s a stereotype that girls are emotional by nature and also, they can’t sustain the pain. But champ, they are master in ventilating their sentiments according to circumstances. But whenever, she reveals her private life then make sure that she trusts you and feel secure as you’re something very valuable for her.


If you’re with other girls she gets jealous:
“Why were you talking with her, I hate that b**ch.” No need to worry man, jealousy is the inborn disease in women and also they are extremely offensive in nature. Dude, she can’t ever allow someone else to pay attention on you, which she possesses. The attitude of jealousy hints that you’re important for her and she’s afraid of losing you.


Inquires about your personal life:
However, a gentlewoman never asks and a gentleman never says but prepare yourself to confront some straight shots such as “dating history” or “previous girlfriend.” Awww….what should you do now..ignore/next/forget her? Mate, if she is digging your childhood, education, family or important things that occurred in your life, then it’s a straightforward signal that she is interested in your future’s deal.


The SMS game:
Everyday, frequently, in fact, twice in hour…..S**t man, you’re trapped and can’t hide your a** at any cost. She wants to trespass the limit of friendship with PERSONALIZED messages. “You know, today I went to blah-blah restaurant to eat blah-blah and it was soooo delicious, what have you been doing, good luck for your exam, ok time to sleep…night night.” Should I respect her emotion or should I play with them…Dude, the ball is in your court.




She cares for you
No doubt, care is always offered by family members, friends and old timers but when SHE says that “It’s so cold and why ain’t you wearing your jacket” or “why are you looking ill, haven’t slept last night” (often she cares even more than your mother), then man….she’s unquestionably in love with you. Beyond the normal civility, this is her boundless love.


Her eyes set on you and only you:
Goddamn, now she’s is paying full attention on you. If her eyes are totally focused on you while conversation, then congrats bro, it clearly indicates that she is genuinely thinking about you. And she is actually on your radar, when she is licking her lips while deep-eye contact.


She touches you often:
Okay, gals are not so different from boys (apart from spare anatomical characteristics and a bit better odor) and they also let themselves go. She often leans towards you as the tower of Pisa and yeah, she may be ahead enough to call you for a nightcap. However, there can be minimal risk of rejection but grab the chance and move ahead for the kill.


She likes spending time with you:
There is no big deal if she wants to meet you nearly everyday to spend some quality time with you. I bet, if she is interested in you then she’ll never decline your offer for outing (she’s not like a tigress searching for flesh). C’mon brat, secure your future plans as this one is the perfect fortune to make a move.


She admires you often:
This statement has now commuted in an international norm. ”Wow..is that your bike, I really love your hair, you know you smell heavenly”. Oh, knock off the BS and get to the point directly. Life is full of ironical s**t and still she wants to hop in, then probably it’s a romantic connotation. And if you’re still confused, then move ahead and follow the dialogue of Al Pacino from ‘Scent of a Woman’ – Remember, when in doubt…..f**k.


 She laughs at your stupid jokes:
Definitely, she is trying to connect a string when she laughs at all your crappy stories and stupid jokes with her entire body (her giggles are often animated). Your success rate is increasing exponentially because she’s going to laugh at anything you say. Dude, check it out once again that why is she laughing? She likes you, you’re spicy, you have something in your teeth or just because she don’t want you to feel bad. But speaking honestly, you should not look for any logic in it because she is actually obsessed by your magical effect.

They say children keep you young - and it's definitely the case for Arceli Keh.
America's oldest 'mom' is now 78 but still finds the energy to hang out at the mall with her teen daughter and sing Justin Bieber songs.

She draws the line at theme parks though.

Arceli was 63 when she had her baby Cynthia 14 years on and has revealed she has no regrets.
The infant weighed 6lbs 4oz and was conceived via IVF, 14 years after Arceli went through the menopause.

'I prayed every day of my life for Cynthia, and I’m so grateful she’s in the world. 'I try to spend as much time with her as possible.
'We go to the mall, and sometimes my husband goes to the movies with her.'
Arceli, 78, joked she even sang along to Justin Bieber songs.
She and her husband Isagani, 75, live off retirement benefits and are careful about what they spend.

She said Cynthia wanted to get a part-time job so she had her own money and could help out at home when she is old enough.
Cynthia said: “I don’t really notice my parents’ age. There are some things they can’t do, like going to theme parks, because there’s a lot of walking involved.

"Milk is a deadly poison," according to the Dairy Education Board. In fact, if you peruse this special interest group's Web site, notmilk.com, you'll find dozens of articles about the purported evils of this popular beverage. One claim, for example, is that milk from cows contains cancer-causing hormones and dairy industry dollars have kept that fact bottled up. All of which may leave you second-guessing your next sip.

However, as a nutritionist, I've found that most men thrive on milk, whether their goal is to lose fat or build muscle. So to be sure it's safe, I've investigated all the anti-milk claims, sifting through the research while also turning a critical eye to pro-milk propaganda. After all, the only agenda I have is my clients' health. The result: all your milk questions, answered.Is Milk a Fat-Burning Food?

Maybe. In a 6-month study, University of Tennessee researchers found that overweight people who downed three servings a day of calcium-rich dairy lost more belly fat than those who followed a similar diet minus two or more of the dairy servings.

In addition, the researchers discovered that calcium supplements didn't work as well as milk. Why? They believe that while calcium may increase the rate at which your body burns fat, other active compounds in dairy products (such as milk proteins) provide an additional fat-burning effect.

Of course, the key to success is following a weight-loss diet to begin with. After all, downing your dairy with a box of doughnuts is no way to torch your gut.Does It Build Muscle?

Absolutely. In fact, milk is one of the best muscle foods on the planet. You see, the protein in milk is about 20 percent whey and 80 percent casein. Both are high-quality proteins, but whey is known as a "fast protein" because it's quickly broken down into amino acids and absorbed into the bloodstream. That makes it a very good protein to consume after your workout.

Casein, on the other hand, is digested more slowly. So it's ideal for providing your body with a steady supply of smaller amounts of protein for a longer period of time—like between meals or while you sleep. Since milk provides both, one big glass gives your body an ideal combination of muscle-building proteins.Do Hormones Make Milk Unhealthy?

Not unless you're injecting the milk. Here's the full story: In 1993 the FDA approved the use of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in cattle. This practice resulted in greater milk production at less cost to the dairy farmer, a savings that has been passed on to you at your local supermarket. But it has also sparked much controversy, because rBGH boosts milk's concentration of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), a hormone that's been linked to cancer.

Unlike steroid hormones, which can be taken orally, rBGH and IGF must be injected to have any effect. That's because the process of digestion destroys these "protein" hormones. So drinking milk from hormone-treated cows doesn't transfer the active form of these chemicals to your body. However, there is one ethical downside to consider: It's not good for the cows. Canadian researchers discovered that cows given hormones are more likely to contract an udder infection called mastitis. What About Antibiotics?

No one really knows. Some scientists argue that milk from cows given antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance in humans, making these types of drugs less effective when you take them for an infection. But this finding has never been proved.

If you're uneasy, you can purchase antibiotic-free (and typically hormone-free, as well) milk from specialty grocers, such as Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, or select USDA-certified organic milk, which is available at most supermarkets. Skim or Whole?

It depends on your taste. While you've probably always been told to drink reduced-fat milk, the majority of scientific studies show that drinking whole milk actually improves cholesterol levels, just not as much as drinking skim does.

One recent exception: Danish researchers found that men who consumed a diet rich in whole milk experienced a slight increase in LDL cholesterol (six points). However, it's worth noting that these men drank six 8-ounce glasses a day, an unusually high amount. Even so, their triglycerides--another marker of heart-disease risk—decreased by 22 percent.

The bottom line: Drinking two to three glasses of milk a day, whether it's skim, 2 percent, or whole, lowers the likelihood of both heart attack and stroke—a finding confirmed by British scientists.

If you're dieting, the lower-fat option is an easy way to save a few calories. When it comes to building muscle, though, whole milk may be your best choice: Scientists at the University of Texas medical branch in Galveston found that drinking whole milk after lifting weights boosted muscle protein synthesis—an indicator of muscle growth—2.8 times more than drinking skim did.

Plan your route

The best way to deal with any new situation is to plan for any eventualities and to be prepared. In this instance, this means planning your route to work beforehand, working out how much time you will need to get there and to leave enough time just in case the train is late or there is a lot of traffic. It's a good idea to do a test drive the week before so that you know what to expect. On your way to work, listen to your favourite music or a relaxing CD that will calm your nerves and put you in a good mood.

Your workplace

You probably won't be given that much to do on your first day, but be aware that your new colleagues may be up to their neck in work. Be friendly and try to make conversation but realise that the others may be busy, have a tight deadline to work to or a project to finish. Give them space and they will respect that and probably offer their help when they have more time. Don't take this as a personal affront, especially on your first day.

If you find yourself with a lot of spare time, organise your working space and get a feel for the new building such as finding out where the toilets and coffee machine are! In an office environment you will most likely have to set up a new email address, voicemail message and find your way around a new computer and intranet system.

At the end of the day, do not rush out of the door. Try to stay behind and finish off any jobs or if you are invited for a treat after work with your boss or other colleagues, ensure that you go.

This will give you the opportunity to find out more about the written and unwritten rules of the company and will make you appear friendly and eager to fit in.

A student who spent years battling a double life-threatening condition died of a broken heart just hours after hearing that a close friend had also passed away, her mother said.

Yasmina Sugliano, a promising creative arts student, was in hospital being treated for a chest infection when she was given the news that her friend Portia Jones had died.

Yasmina Sugliano

The 25-year-old, who had battled with cystic fibrosis and a heart condition since childhood, is said to have drifted into unconsciousness and died herself a few hours later.

According to her mother, Kay, who was at her bedside, her grief at the news may have affected her heart, triggering a dangerously irregular heartbeat which killed her in the early hours of Friday morning.

Despite being in hospital she had hoped to be well enough to attend a music festival and even set off on a Caribbean holiday.

Mrs Sugliano said that the two young women had become close through their shared battles with cystic fibrosis, the incurable genetic condition in which mucus builds up in the lungs and other organs.

The history of musical instruments dates back to the beginnings of human culture.The human voice was probably the first musical instrument, the earliest known invented musical instruments are however considerably different from those what man discovered of course. Most early instruments were made in the Upper Paleolithic age.

 

1. Percussion Instruments [165,000 years ago]

A percussion instrument is any object which produces a sound by being hit with an implement, shaken, rubbed, scraped, or by any other action which sets the object into vibration. The human voice was although the first discovered musical instrument, but percussion instruments such as stones, sticks, rocks, and logs were almost certainly the next steps in the evolution of music especially the stones, they were cut in different shapes and designs to change quality and pitch of sound.


2. Flute by Bob Flink [67,000 years ago]

The date and origin of the first device of disputed status as a musical instrument dates back as far as 67,000 years old. In July 1995, Slovenian archaeologist Ivan Turk discovered a bone carving in the northwest region of Slovenia. The carving, named the Divje Babe flute, features four holes that Canadian musicologist Bob Fink determined could have been used to play four notes of a diatonic scale. Researchers estimate the flute’s age to be 67,000 years old, making it the oldest known musical instrument and the only musical instrument associated with the Neanderthal culture.

3. Mammoth Ivory Ice-Age Flute [43,400 years ago]

Second world’s oldest known musical instruments has been discovered by German archaeologists. The 18.7-centimetre-long flute, which is carved from mammoth ivory, has three finger holes and would have been capable of playing relatively complex melodies. The flute was found in 31 pieces in the Geißenklösterle cave in mountains near Ulm in southern Germany. Carving a flute from solid ivory is much more demanding than making a flute from bird bones, which are already hollow. The crooked mammoth tusk had to be split and the two halves carefully hollowed out, then bound and glued together along a perfectly airtight seam.

4. Elephant Skin Drum [37,000 years ago]

The earliest known drum was 30,000 years old when man used animal hide stretched to create sound. The first discovered is from an elephant skin used since it was preserved from scavenging in Antarctica’s ice age.

5. Pan pipes [30,000 years ago]

The pipes are one of the oldest made instruments dating back to 30,000 years ago, these were typically made from bamboo or giant cane. The pan flute is named for its association with the rustic Greek god Pan. Another term for the pan flute is syrinx, 



6. Bullroarer [17,000 BC]



9. Cuneiform Tablet [2,000 BC]

A cuneiform tablet from Nippur in Iraq dated to 2000 BC indicates the names of strings on the lyre and represents the earliest known example of music notation. Although these tablets were fragmentary, these tablets represent the earliest melodies found anywhere in the world.

10. Xylophone (2000 BC)

Gusikow’s ‘wood and straw xylophone.

The earliest evidence of a xylophone is from the 2000 BC in southeast Asia according to the Vienna Symphonic Library, and there is a model of a similar hanging wood instrument, dated to ca. 2000 BC in China. The original instrument consisted of wooden bars seated on a series of hollow gourds, with the gourds generating the resonating notes that are produced on modern instruments by metal tubes. Tuning the bars was always a difficult procedure. Old methods consisted of arranging the bars on tied bundles of straw, and, as still practiced today, placing the bars adjacent to each other in a ladder-like layout. Ancient mallets were made of willow wood with spoon-like bowls on the beaten ends.

These are probably some of the most fascinating phenomena in space despite the fact that most of what is known about them is based on speculation backed by a small amount of evidence. A black hole basically pertains to a region of space from which nothing can escape, including light. There is a precisely defined surface that surrounds this space, known as the "event horizon," which as scientists say, "marks the point of no return."

Black holes been named as such due to their property of absorbing light without reflecting any of it, thus behaving like perfect thermodynamic "black bodies". Quantum mechanics predicts that these holes emit radiation in order to maintain a stable temperature. Interestingly, the larger the mass of a black hole, the lower its temperature, making it more difficult to observe.

Black holes are thought to be caused by the collapse of supernova stars at the end of their life cycles and physicists posit that they maintain their growth by absorbing mass from their surroundings. The most recent scientific consensus predicts that black holes exist at the centre of most galaxies and there is thought to be one 4 million times the mass of the sun at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy.

Summer just doesn't usher in longer days, sun rays and warm nights. It also reprises a host of myths associated with the season. People question how long they should wait to swim after eating and whether urinating on a jellyfish sting will work.

Before you prepare to let a friend relieve you from that jellyfish sting, take a look and find out what is fact and what is fiction.

You always hear: It's dangerous to swim on a full stomach, you could easily cramp up.

The truth is: Dive in whenever you're comfortable. There's no evidence that waiting helps ward off a cramp that could lead to drowning, says William D. Chey, a gastroenterologist at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. It takes about an hour for food to fully digest, but there's no magic number. Food is moving through your digestive tract for hours and hours.

Instead: If you have a cramp, swim sideways back to land. If you're really incapacitated, float on your back. Cramps don't have to do with the time of your eating, but more likely dehydration, especially in summer.

You always hear: You need to urinate on a jellyfish sting to soothe the intense pain quickly.

The truth: In fact, it can release more toxins and prolong the pain. Ice helps the pain. Urine is a bad idea.

Instead: Rinse the area with saltwater to remove the stinging cells and keep the ache from worsening. The burn should begin to subside after five minutes, but discomfort can linger. An over-the-counter painkiller or cortisone cream will help in the meantime.

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. 
The waitress asks for their orders. 
The man says,
'A hamburger, fries and a coke,' and turns to the ostrich,
'What's yours?'
'I'll have the same,' says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order. 

'That will be $9.40 please,' she says and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.

The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, 'A hamburger, fries, and a coke.

'The ostrich says, 'I'll have the same.'

Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes routine until the two enter again later in the week.' The usual?' asks the waitress.

'No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato, and salad,' says the man.

'Same,' says the ostrich.

Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, 'That will be $32.62.'

Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.

The waitress can't hold back her curiosity any longer.

'Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?'

'Well,' says the man, 'several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. 
When I rubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.

My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always there.'

'That's brilliant!' says the waitress. 'Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!'

'That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,' says the man.

The waitress asks, 'But what's with the ostrich?

'The man sighs and answers, 'My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say.'

HEART attack in the morning causes more damage than an attack at any other time of the day.

Borja Ibanez and colleagues at the Carlos III University of Madrid in Spain collected details from 811 people who suffered a heart attack between 2003 and 2008. The team recorded when symptoms started and blood levels of two protein markers for heart damage.

Just two years before her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt—the highest rank in the martial art and combat sport Judo. Fukuda is now one of only four living people who've earned the tenth-degree (or dan) black belt. To put the accomplishment into better perspective, throughout history, only sixteen people have ever achieved this honor.

Fukuda began practicing Judo in 1935 and is the sole surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro. At her teacher's urging, she learned English to help spread Judo internationally.

During a time when getting married, building a family, and becoming a housewife was the norm, Fukuda bucked tradition, opting out of marriage to pursue the martial art.

She described the Jiguro’s school, known as the Kodokan, as "old-fashioned and sexist about belts and ranks." In fact, an edict that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for thirty years. She was finally elevated to sixth dan in 1972 when a woman's division was created.

With the prevalence of social media, it's getting harder and harder to separate our personal and professional lives.
It's to the point that we need to assume that almost everything we share online, even privately, will be public.
Here are people who lost their jobs for using Facebook -- you might side with the business or the employee, but the lesson is the same: think twice about what you share online.

22-year-old North Carolina waitress Ashley Johnson blasted two customers over Facebook for stiffing her on the tip and keeping her late. She also took the time to mention her workplace by name.
She was fired for breaking a rule about disparaging customers.

Nathalie Blanchard had been living off of disability insurance for depression since 2008. But when Manulife, the Canadian insurance company making the payments, got into her Facebook page, they saw her "relaxing at the beach, hanging out at a Chippendale's-style club, and generally having a lot of fun."
She immediately lost her insurance benefits.

Ashley Payne was forced to resign from her teaching job after posting this picture to Facebook. She is currently fighting to get her job back

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had by all. The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.

A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together." The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. "I'll start,"offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing" the husband replied, "keep reading your list." 

The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it. "Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." She said happily. Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change
anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned

IN LIFE, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying things when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us? I believe that WE ARE HAPPIEST WHEN we see and praise the good and try our best to forego the mistakes of our spouse Nobody's perfect but we can find perfection in them to change the way we see them. Its is necessary to understand the difficulties and be a helping hand to each other....THAT BRIGHTENS THE RELATIONSHIP.

Three old ladies were sitting side by side in their retirement home, reminiscing. 

The first lady recalled shopping at the green grocers and demonstrated with her hands, the length and thickness of a cucumber she could buy for a penny.

The second old lady nodded, adding that onions used to be much bigger and cheaper also, and demonstrated the size of two big onions she could buy for a penny a piece.

The third old lady remarked, "I can't hear a word you're saying, but I remember the guy you're talking about."
