HOW TO LEARN EFFECTIVELY

2015-12-28T00:19:00.000-08:00

Now days, almost all the students are facing the problem that they are unable to learn or memorize the things. Although, they spend a lot of time in studying their subjects. So now all you need to do is understand our strengths and weaknesses to learn efficiently. Make sure to take help from your parents, friends and teachers if you feel that you are not getting the results that you should be getting, instead of working hard.

Different people have got different way for learning and understanding things. It's not at all true that you can learn by following other person's way of learning. You need to understand your strengths and weaknesses. Some people just learn by reading a text once but some may have to take a reading 10 times or even more.

1. RECOGNIZE THE BEST LEARNING STYLE FOR YOU:

i) Learning through visuals:

Sometimes it's easy to memorize the visuals than to read. You can always search for the topics on internet and learn from there. Watch the videos related to your subjects and try to understand the topics. After watching the complete video, try to recall what you have learned from the video clipping. Recalling it again and again would help you to remember the topics for a longer time. If you are unable to recall something, then watch the video again. Doing this will help you to understand and remember the things you need to learn. But please make sure that the video clipping you choose cover all the important topics that you are supposed to learn. You may take help from your teachers, parents or elder brother/sister in selecting the proper video clipping for the topic.

ii) Learning through audios:

You may use some study aids that can increase your concentration level and helps you learn better and faster. You can learn from an audio at any time. Just like you listen to the songs or the music, you can use your earphones for listening to the topics you want to learn. If no audios are available for the topics you want to learn, then, you may record your own voice for the same. Read the chapter loudly and clearly and record your voice using a recorder. Now, you can listen to this anytime. You need not take out any extra time for listening to your recorded voice. Listen to the recording again and again, and you will surely be able to learn the things properly. Moreover, this will also enhance your reading skills. If possible, record only the important points as listening to it will take less time and you won't get bored of listening to a long chapter again and again.

2. MAKE SHORT NOTES:

While teacher explains something or you perform experiments, concentrate on what the teacher says and note down the important points for your reference. Later, you may refer some book to understand the concept in a better way. Noting down short and important points saves your time and helps you understand when you revise.You can elaborate the points in your own language if you understand the concept once. But do read the complete topic from the book once or twice because you may not be able to explain the concepts properly in your own language if you don't refer the book. There are always some important terms that you need to include in your answer, note them down and revise them once before you sit in any exam/test. If possible, you may also record the lecture in order to listen to it while revising. This will help you revise the important things faster as listening to things is sometimes much easier than reading it from book. Moreover, you get to know what the teacher explained in the class.

3. RID YOURSELF OF DISTRACTIONS WHILE LEARNING:

Make sure that while studying you sit away from the objects or people that distract you. Distractions like phone, music, or people gossiping around you decreases your concentration level. It is a very difficult task to learn or understand anything if you are not concentrating on it completely. You may feel that you understood the concepts but you will forget it very soon. So, you always need to give your 100% concentration in order to get the 100% results. If someone distracts you by calling you again and again, then ask them to talk to you after you have finished studying your lessons. While studying, sit on a place where there is minimum noise. If you are unable to study as you have been studying for a long period of time, then go out for sometime or take some rest or do something to make your mind fresh. Don't study for a very long period of time continuously as your brain will get tired after sometime and you won't be able to grasp anything after that.

4. SET SMALL GOALS:

Assign some assignment to yourself and also decide time to complete that assignment. Also test yourself after one or two days for whether you remember everything or not. If you are satisfied with your performance, award yourself with something like your favorite chocolate or some extra time to spend with friends, or take a break. If not satisfied, then punish yourself by not doing anything other than studying. Keep doing the same until you are up to your expectations. But make sure that you don't waste all your time on a small topic. Doing so, you won't get much time to study the other topics. If you take too much time to understand some topic or still are unable to understand it, then take help from someone rather than wasting time on it. Ask your teachers or friends to explain the topic to you in a simpler language so that you can understand it easily.

5. ESTABLISH GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH TEACHERS:

Respect your teachers, be polite with them and stay in touch with them whenever you face any trouble understanding something. If you are struggling, know that almost all teachers want to help you catch up, just make sure that you don't create indiscipline. Your teachers will always help you whenever you face any trouble in understanding the concepts. So, take help from them. If you don't understand something after you asked it from a teacher, then ask it from other teacher. Ask questions from your teachers until you understand everything properly. But do take a reading from book or notes after asking from the teachers. Don't just keep asking the things from teachers without doing any efforts from your side. Doing this, you won't understand anything and asking the same thing again and again might even irritate your teachers.

6. DO WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO:

You must be aware about what you want to do in life. You can decide what are the requirements for completing a task only if you know what are your goals. Don't do what your parents want you to do or what your friends are doing. Everyone has his/her own wishes and desires. You must recognize your desires rather than following others. Others may give you a direction but only you have to decide what you actually want to do. Doing something that you don't like won't make you happy. And if you are not happy, then you won't be able to get good results. You would never be able to do something properly if you are not interested in doing it. So, always make a clear picture in your mind about your goals and the paths that you are going to follow to fulfill your dreams.

Sixth Sense Technology

2015-12-25T10:19:00.000-08:00

Sixth Sense Technology (a camera combined with a light source) was developed in 1997 as a head-worn device, and in 1998 as a neck-worn device, but the ‘Sixth Sense’ name for this work was not coined and published until 2001. Mann referred to this wearable computing technology as affording a ‘Synthetic Synesthesia of the Sixth Sense’’, believing that wearable computing and digital information could act in addition to the five traditional senses.

Source: Google

Maes’ MIT group, which includes seven graduate students, were thinking about how a person could be more integrated into the world around them and access information without Sixth sense Technology having to do something like take out a phone. They initially produced a wristband that would read a Radio Frequency Identification tag to know, for example, which book a user is holding in a store. They also had a ring that used infrared to communicate by beacon to supermarket smart shelves to give you information about products. As we grab a package of macaroni, the ring would glow red or green to tell us if the product was organic or free of peanut traces — whatever criteria we program into the system. They wanted to make information more useful to people in real time with minimal effort in a way that doesn’t require any behaviour changes. The wristband was getting close, but we still had to take out our cell phone to look at the information. That’s when they struck on the idea of accessing information from the internet and projecting it. So someone wearing the wristband could pick up a paperback in the bookstore and immediately call up reviews about the book, projecting them onto a surface in the store or doing a keyword search through the book by accessing digitized pages on Amazon or Google books. They started with a larger projector that was mounted on a helmet. But that proved cumbersome if someone was projecting data onto a wall then turned to speak to friend — the data would project on the friend’s face.

Now they have switched to a smaller projector and created the pendant prototype to be worn around the neck. The Sixth Sense prototype is composed of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant-like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. We can very well consider the Sixth Sense Technology as a blend of the computer and the cell phone. It works as the device associated to it is hanged around the neck of a person and thus the projection starts by means of the micro projector attached to the device. Therefore, in course, you turn out to be a moving computer in yourself and the fingers act like a mouse and a keyboard. The prototype was built from an ordinary webcam and a battery-powered 3M projector, with an attached mirror — all connected to an internet-enabled mobile phone. The setup, which costs less than $350, allows the user to project information from the phone onto any surface — walls, the body of another person or even your hand.

The entire hardware apparatus is encompassed in a pendant-shaped mobile wearable device. Basically the camera recognises individuals, images, pictures, gestures one makes with their hands and the projector assists in projecting any information on whatever type of surface is present in front of the person. The usage of the mirror is significant as the projector dangles pointing downwards from the neck. To bring out variations on a much higher plane, coloured caps are used on fingers so that it becomes simpler for the software to differentiate between the fingers, demanding various applications.

The software program analyses the video data caught by the camera and also tracks down the locations of the coloured markers by utilising single computer vision techniques. One can have any number of hand gestures and movements as long as they are all reasonably identified and differentiated for the system to interpret it, preferably through unique and varied fiducials. This is possible only because the ‘Sixth Sense’ device supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction.

MIT basically plans to augment reality with a pendant pico-projector: hold up an object at the store and the device blasts relevant information onto it (like environmental stats, for instance), which can be browsed and manipulated with hand gestures. The "sixth sense" in question is the internet, which naturally supplies the data, and that can be just about anything. The idea is that Sixth Sense tries to determine not only what someone is interacting with, but also how he or she is interacting with it. The software searches the internet for information that is potentially relevant to that situation, and then the projector takes over. All the work is in the software," says Dr Maes. "The system is constantly trying to figure out what's around you, and what you're trying to do. It has to recognize the images you see, track your gestures, and then relate it all to relevant information at the same time."

The Sixth Sense Technology works as follows:

a) The hardware that makes Sixth Sense work is a pendant like mobile wearable interface.

b) It has a camera, a mirror and a projector and is connected wirelessly to a Bluetooth or 3G or wifi smart phone that can slip comfortably into one’s pocket.

c) It captures the image of the object in view and tracks the user’s hand gestures

d) There are colour markers placed at the tip of user’s fingers. Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green and blue coloured tape helps the webcam to recognize the hand gestures. The movements and arrangement of these markers are interpreted into gestures that act as an interaction instruction for the projected application interfaces.

e) The smartphone searches the web and interprets the hand gestures with the help of the coloured markers placed at the finger tips.

f) The information that is interpreted through the smartphone is projected on to the mirror by the downward-facing projector.

g) The mirror reflects the image on to a desired surface.

h) Thus, digital information is freed from its confines and placed in the physical world.

The technology is mainly based on hand gesture recognition, image capturing, processing, and manipulation, etc. The map application lets the user navigate a map displayed on a nearby surface using hand gestures, similar to gestures supported by multi-touch based systems, letting the user zoom in, zoom out or pan using intuitive hand movements. The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the user’s index finger.

a) Multi-touch gestures: These gestures are like the ones we see in our smartphones – where we touch the screen and make the map move by pinching and dragging.

b) Freehand gestures: These gestures are like you make a frame with your hands to take a picture or join your hands to start the projection on the wall.

c) Iconic gestures: These gestures involves drawing an icon in the air. Like, whenever we draw a star, show us the weather details. When we draw a magnifying glass, show us the map. This system is very customizable. We can make our own gesture which our sixth sense device can understand. We can change the Sixth Sense to our need.

APPLICATIONS:

The Sixth Sense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system. The Sixth Sense device has a huge number of applications. The following are few of the applications of Sixth Sense Technology:

a) Make a call: You can use the Sixth Sense to project a keypad onto your hand, then use that virtual keypad to make a call. Calling a number also will not be a great task with the introduction of Sixth Sense Technology. No mobile device will be required, just type in the number with your palm acting as the virtual keypad. The keys will come up on the fingers. The fingers of the other hand will then be used to key in the number and call.

Source: Google

b) Call up a map: The sixth sense also implements map which lets the user display the map on any physical surface and find his destination and he can use his thumbs and index fingers to navigate the map, for example, to zoom in and out and do other controls.

Source: Google

c) Check the time: Sixth Sense all we have to do is draw a circle on our wrist with our index finger to get a virtual watch that gives us the correct time. The computer tracks the red marker cap or piece of tape, recognizes the gesture, and instructs the projector to flash the image of a watch onto his wrist.

Source: Google

d) Create multimedia reading experiences: The Sixth Sense system also augments physical objects the user is interacting with by projecting more information about these objects projected on them. For example, a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper. Thus a piece of paper turns into a video display.

Source: Google

e) Organise pictures: The user can zoom in or zoom out using intuitive hand movements. It’s similar to what we do in our smart phones i.e. we can pinch on the surface to zoom the image.

User can also organise and arrange the pictures.

Source: Google

f) Get product information: Maes says Sixth Sense uses image recognition or marker technology to recognize products you pick up, then feeds you information on those products. For example, if you're trying to shop "green" and are looking for paper towels with the least amount of bleach in them, the system will scan the product you pick up off the shelf and give you guidance on whether this product is a good choice for you.

Source: Google

g) Take pictures: If we fashion our index fingers and thumbs into a square (the typical "framing" gesture), the system will snap a photo. After taking the desired number of photos, we can project them onto a surface, and use gestures to sort through the photos, and organize and resize them.

Mark Zuckerberg's Takes Paternity Leave

2015-12-23T22:49:00.001-08:00

Mark Zuckerberg’s move to take paternity leave has garnered much applause and likes. But despite cheering for him, how many Indian fathers are willing to take the same path?

Source : google

In a country which swears by the overwhelming mother, naturally, has been seen as the prime caregiver and nurturer. Fathers lurk in the background to give assent on important matters but on all things basic such as changing nappies, mum is the word.

So did Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement that he is taking off two month’s paternity leave catch us, the nation of mama’s pets, off guard? Indeed, in urban India paternity leave is not an unheard of concept. Every once in a while it makes news, too. Sometimes the implementation of the rule for the public sector banking employees is greeted with cheer. Mark’s open show of fatherhood has garnered much more applause than just Facebook likes. But despite cheering for him how many Indian fathers are willing to walk the same path?

Bharat Chugh, who runs a manpower consultancy firm, says, “Very few. At best it’s a talking point.” For one, he stresses, not all private companies, except in IT sector and e-commerce, are sensitive to the idea of paternity leave. And more importantly he questions, “Even where men are eligible for this leave, how many fathers are actually proactive players in the upbringing of their children since babyhood?”

The same query finds an echo in the manpower policies of many a private firm some of whom have even withdrawn the privilege. Their logic, “Let fathers show the inclination and we will grant paternity leave.”

A father’s role at childbirth and during those early days of rearing is limited as these remain a woman’s domain. But as nuclear families become the norm paternity leave or no paternity leave men do take time off to be around their wives during childbirth. But what about a father’s role during post-delivery days when the mother is physically and psychologically down and out? While he is certainly not vacationing as some HR policy-makers, who do not allow paternity leave, would want us to believe, he is not playing the perfect nanny either. NCR-based Nitin Dua, an IT professional, took a week off despite the fact his company TCS doesn’t allow paternity leave. Though he was a great help to his spouse Hina, his responsibility was confined to jobs like shopping for baby’s necessities.

Of course, there are exceptions. Varendra Verma, a software engineer, not only topped up his one week paternity leave with three weeks of additional leave but did almost all that a mother could do. Today their baby, 11 months’ old now, responds equally to both parents. His wife Shailja Sharma is obviously happy at his bonding with the child. Added bonus is that it has also cemented their marital ties.

Clinical psychologist and a parenting expert, Dr Aruna Broota, says even during early infancy a child develops a bond with father through touch. In Sweden, which has taken a lead in laying down rules for paternity leave, the research shows that accepting and providing two months of paternal leave has resulted in a reduced divorce rate.

But India is not West, says Dr Balaji Gopalan, Asia Pacific Human Resources Director, Carraro. “Here the social context is different. While in European nations the role of in-laws is marginal and maids are inconspicuous by their absence, in India the support structure is readily available.” So even though his firm headquarters are based in Italy where 13-week paternity leave is granted, he feels Indian fathers have no need for it, or the will to make good use of it.

Australian psychologist Dr Keith Kennett, too, fails to understand the hullabaloo over paternity leave. Sure a baby needs hugging and snuggling but fathers can do that after work. Instead of paternity leave, he asserts that Indian fathers must play a more active part when the baby is two and three. That’s when they should take time off, because that’s when their presence will help the baby’s cognitive development.

A newborn doesn’t know who the father or mother is. Having a father around a newborn 24/ 7 is not irrelevant but not significant either. Rather than one-month paternity leave at one go, he suggests staggered weeklong leaves at different stages of baby’s growing-up period. Fathers, however, feel differently. Pawan Kumar Dubey, an accountant in a private firm, did not take more than the customary two-day leave but he wishes in retrospect he should have been around his baby for a longer period.

That fathers matter is a debate that has long been settled. Paul Raeburn, author of Do Fathers Matter? What Science Is Telling Us About the Parent We’ve Overlooked brought forth the new science of fatherhood. From conception into adulthood, fathers play as crucial a role as mothers. Studies show that the death rate of infants whose fathers were not around during pregnancy is nearly four times that of those with engaged dads. Navneet Garg, CEO of a Danish group, asserts that there is a need to delink paternity leave from father’s involvement in a child’s life. “Paternal duty doesn’t end or begin with leave, which in most cases is not more than a week.” And this one week, too, is rarely well spent as most Indian fathers refuse to shoulder responsibility of child caring, says Dr Broota, She quips, “Many fathers even prefer to sleep in separate bedrooms during this period.”

So is Mark a one-off example who has booked another trend? Well, the celeb list of fathers on diaper duty is long and has even Prince William on board. Hollywood hunk Ashton Kutcher even demanded diaper changing stations in men’s washrooms.

Now as the world roots for Mark’s fatherly love, one wonders whether his diaper duties will go viral. However, it will be a while before Indian fathers catch the virus. Family first might be India’s motto but here daddy becomes strongest by working hard in the boardroom. Till the duration of paternity leave finds an equivalent match in maternity leave, until our societal mindsets, rooted in patriarchy are overcome, mothers will remain sleepless in babydom.

Unimaginable Whatsapp Stories

2015-11-24T22:46:00.003-08:00

1. Two men sentenced for WHATSAPP porn they "didn't even watched"

In August 2014, two men were caught for having "truly disgusting" pornographic images on their mobile phones sent to them through whatsapp messaging service. They claimed that they didn;t even saw what was sent to them.
Gary Ticehurst and Mark Kelly, received pornographic images and footage. The men claimed that the images and footage was sent to them through unknown source and that they had been unable to watch it as it "sickened" them.

Both men were stopped by police on unrelated matters and found these images and footage on their phones at that time. Both men defended themselves in court and claimed that they were not aware that keeping these image was illegal.

Mr. Kelly said that he had deleted the footage from his whatsapp but had "no idea" that images were saved in his camera roll. Mr. Ticehurst said that images was on his phone from last two months and he had completely forgot about them.

Both men were given two years conditional discharge and a penalty of £500.

2. The husband who dragged his wife to police over her whatsapp addiction

The craze of whatsapp was so high in Indore (INDIA), that his husband decided to drag his wife to the police station just because his wife was not paying enough attention towards him. The man in his written complaint, alleged that his wife is having a bad addiction of using Whatsapp.

According to police, Mayur Sahu, a software engineer by profession said that "his wife, Payal had no time for him as her life was limited to whatsapp. She doesn;t even bother to give him food after he returns from office. She remains busy with her phone".

Police said that "when Payal was called for interrogation, she accused Mayur for harassing her mentally and also filed a written complaint against her husband."

3. Women went to hospital after excessive whatsapp usage

A women used whatsapp messaging service so much over the Christmas holidays 2013 that she ended up in hospital. The 32 year old emergency medicine physician was 27 weeks pregnant and sought treatment for extreme pain in her wrists. She had no history of trauma and had not engaged in any excessive physical activity in the latter days. However, on Christmas day of 2013, she spent an estimated 6 hours holding a weighty phone while sending huge amount of messages to her friends and relatives.

The diagnosis was BILATERAL EXTENSOR POLLICIS LONGUS TENDINITIS of the thumb - or what they have nicknamed "WHATSAPPITIS". The treatment consisted of non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs and complete abstinence from using the phone for sending messages - although she ignored this on new years's eve.

4. Men escaped from prison while guard was using Whatsapp

A Zimbabwe prisons and Correctional services officer is facing disciplinary action after two inmates escaped from the Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison while he was stuck to the social networking messaging service Whatsapp.

Prison Officer Guni will appear before a disciplinary panel in line with the ZPCS code of conduct. He was assigned to guard the five inmates while they worked in the prison farm just a week before they escaped and allegedly became engrossed in Whatsapp chats and forgot to keep an eye on them.

The inmates took this an opportunity to pounce on him and strip him off his uniform before tying him to a tree. They also took his cellular phone and $10 from his wallet, threatening him to kill him if he dared to scream for help. One of them wore the uniform and disguised himself as a guard, guarding the four inmates.

Since the beginning of 2014, 21 prisoners from Zimbabwe have escaped from the correctional facilities due to the negligence of the guards.

5. The Man Rescued after 10 hours

In a scene straight out of the Hollywood Blockbuster 127 hours, a 24-year old software engineer from Delhi, remained trapped for almost 10 hours after he fell 300 feet while rock climbing in Madhugiri, 60 km from Bangalore.
What saved him was a picture of the place where he was trapped, sent by him via Whatsapp to one of his friend which alerted the Police.

Gaurav Arora suffered many severe injuries and was not traced for last several hours after he fell while climbing the Asia's tallest single rock hill on June, 2014. However, he managed to click the picture of that location and was able to send to his friend Priyank Sharma, who accompanied him in rock climbing but stopped in the way.

His friend Priyank showed the pictures to Madhugiri police, who were able to locate and identify Arora's location. The Police and fire service officials found him - despite recue operation being carried out at the night, thanks to the picture and Arora's active mind.

Is Aamir Khan Correct while saying this??

Aamir khan's "Intolerance"

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan today became the center-point of a fresh political slug-fest over a raging debate on intolerance in the country. The BJP advised the actor not to fall into the Congress’ “trap” by becoming part of its “conspiracy” against the NDA government while the opposition party asked the ruling regime not to “bully” those who questioned its policies.

Aamir had yesterday said he was “alarmed” by the rising number of incidents of intolerance in the country with his wife, Kiran Rao, suggesting they leave India.

Apart from the BJP, the remarks earned the actor criticism on the social media and also from a prominent Muslim leader, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi.

The BJP initially did not say so in as many words but as Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi tweeted support for Aamir, the saffron party hit back: “The Bollywood actor is a co-actor in the Congress’ game plan to create a negative environment in the country and a wrong perception of the Modi government before the world through a fabricated campaign.”

Rahul, on the other hand, advised the NDA government not to “bully or threaten” people who questioned its policies. “Instead of branding all those who question the government and Modiji as unpatriotic, anti-national or motivated, the government would do better to reach out to people to understand what's disturbing them. That's the way to solve problems in India--not by bullying, threatening & abusing!" he said in a series of tweets.

The Congress leader’s reaction, alleged BJP leader Shrikant Sharma, was “proof” to show that Aamir’s views were part of the Congress’ “structured strategy” ahead of the Parliament session. “He (Aamir Khan) is not going anywhere... he is under no threat,” Sharma said.

“The Congress is running a campaign to divert attention from cases of corruption facing the party and its leaders. The campaign has intensified before the Parliament session. Aamir Khan is a big star with a huge fan following. He should not fall into the Congress’ ‘makarjaal’ (trap).

“Aamir Khan is an actor who makes a lot of money from films. But there are lots of poor people in the country who are dependent upon other forms of livelihood like jobs, which can only be added when more investment flows into the country. A statement like this can disturb the investment climate in the country. Anti-India elements can misuse it to damage India’s image,” Sharma said.

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju also termed Khan’s comments as “misplaced”. He said the incidents of communal violence had seen a decline after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took charge. “Such statements only bring disrepute to the country and the Prime Minister,” he said.

Rijiju said Home Ministry statistics suggest that 86 people were killed till October this year in communal violence compared to 90 in the corresponding period last year.

Owaisi, the Hyderabad-based prominent Muslim leader, too disapproved of Khan’s stance: “I would have never said what Aamir said. We have seen numerous riots but we still continue to live here as it’s our country. We will not succumb to nonsense talks… We will do disservice to those who fought for us (if we leave). We will struggle and strive to live here to improve the country."

Live Life Happily

None of us know about the life before birth and after death. So, we have got only one life. Then why to waste it in get stressed or sad? Enjoy your life before it melts. Find your ways to be happy. Try to avoid unnecessary stress as much as possible.

There are many ways to stay happy. You just need to understand what makes you happy. Having all the facilities of the world won't give you happiness. Even a poor person could be much more happy than the richest person in the world. You just need to understand the key to your happiness. Here I am sharing some ways that can make you happy.

1. BE WITH GOOD PEOPLE:

Stay away from the people who spills your mood and makes you sad or angry. It would help you to avoid the stress. I agree that no one is bad but still we don't like everyone, so avoid the people you don't like much. Be with the people whose presence gives you happiness. A person who loves you and cares for you would always give you happiness. So, we must choose our friends carefully after we get to know everything about them.

2. DO WHAT YOU LIKE:

Doing the things that you like would give you happiness. Try to figure out your hobbies and spend some of your time doing things in your hobby list. You need not be good at anything that you like to do. You should just enjoy doing it and should just do it for yourself, not for others. So you need not care what people will think about you.

3. AVOID THE COMMENTS:

Most of the people are in habit of passing comments on the people they meet or see passing by. Try to ignore such comments as much as possible. If you listen to some comment, then don't think about it, you will automatically forget about that comment when your mind will get busy in some other task. People gossip because they have got nothing else to do. So, avoid such people rather then getting upset on their silly comments. Just remember that God made everyone special, so, you need not care about what others think or say about you.

4. MEDITATE:

Meditation helps in reducing stress. So, do meditation everyday. Meditation keeps us calm and our mind fresh. This makes us feel healthy and happy. Always take out some time out of the busy schedule for meditation. Meditation is good for our body and soul and also protects us from certain diseases.

5. REMEMBER HAPPY MOMENTS:

If you feel sad, then think about the happy moments that you spent with your family and friends. Thinking about good times always makes us smile. Take out some photographs or videos of the time that you spent happily. Looking at them will make you feel good. And have a good laugh as we all know that "Laughter is the best medicine". So, laugh as much as possible.

Luckiest Humans On The Earth!!!!

You all will be surprised to know how these people survived the impossible situations..

1. Vesna Vulovic (Who survived a terrorist attack at 33,000 feet)

On January 26,1972 , a Yugoslav Airlines DC-9 departed from Copenhagen for Belgrade with 28 passengers and crew. At an altitude of 33,000 feet, a bomb in cargo section , planted by Ustashe Crotian separatist group exploded. The plane dismantled and crashed on the mountains.

In what must be the greatest survival stories of all time, Vesna Vulvovic survived the 33,000 feet descent sitting on the tail of the plane. She wasn't even supposed to be on that plane. As she later stated in the interview, it was some other girl named Vesna to be on that flight, but she was happy with the mix-up as it lead her to her first trip to Denmark. She ended up with a fractured skull, two broken legs and three broken vertebrae - one of which was crushed which made her paralyzed waist down

Vesna spent several months in and out of the hospitals, operations allowed her to walk again. She became a celebrity when Guinness Book Of World Records invited her to a ceremony in London. She is listed for surviving the longest fall without a parachute. She is now a National Hero in Serbia.

2. Frane Selak (Escaped a derailed train, a door-less plane, a bus crash, a car into flames, another two car accidents...then won a million dollar lottery)

Luck has always been on his side or vice-versa for music teacher Frane Selak born in 1929, who is well known around the world for fatal accidents as spectacular escapes. The first of his numerous near death experience began on a cold January day in 1982, when Selak was on a train. it suddenly derailed into an icy river, killing 17 passengers. He alone managed to escape with a broken arm, minor scratches and bruises.

A year later, Selak was flying, from Zagreb to Rijeka, when a door suddenly blew away from the cockpit of the plane, as he was blown off the plane. The accident killed 19 people, however , Selak was lucky enough to land on a haystack, and wake up in a hospital after some days with some minor injuries.

It was in 1966, that he met with third misadventure while travelling on a bus that crashed and plu ged into the river. There were 4 people dead, and Selak again managed to escape unharmed.

In 1955, Delak was in Zagreb when he was again hit by a bus, again leaving nothing but a few scrateches and injuries. The following year , while driving on a mountain road, Selak drove off a guardrail to escape an oncoming truck and landed on a tree watching his car explode 300 feet below.

3. Andes Survivors(Crashed on Andes Mountains, Lasted 72 days)

On Friday the 13th of October, 1972, a Uruguayan Air Force Twin turboprop Fairchild FH-227D was flying over the Andes carrying Stella Maris College's "Old Christians" rugby union team from Montevideo, Uruguay. When plane was flying through the pass in the mountains, the pilot notified the air controllers in Santiago that he was cleared to descend. This would prove to be a fatal error. Since the pass was covered by clouds, the pilots had to rely on the usual time required to cross the pass. However, they failed to take into account the strong headwinds that ultimately slowed the plane and increased the time required to cross the pass. As a result, the turn and descent was initiated too soon, before the plane had passed through the mountains. Dipping into the cloud cover while still over the mountains, the Fairchild soon crashed on the unnamed peak (later called Glacier Of Tears).

Twelve people died in the crash. Survivors not only had to withstand the hunger and the fearful mountains, but 30 degrees below zero temperature during the night. They tried to survive with the scarce food reserves they had until being rescued, but they lost their hope when they heard that search had been ceased on the radio. Desperate owing to the lack of food and physically exhausted, they were forced to feed themselves on their dead partners to keep on living. Finally, fed up of the extremely low temperature and the avalanche threats, as well as anguish by the continous death of their partners and the bad rescue prospects, two of them decided to cross the huge mountain to reach chile.

On 22nd of December, 1972, after being isolated for 72 days, the world found out and knew 16 survivors that beat death in the Andes Mountains.

4. Anatoli Bugorski ( The Man Who survived a beam from a Particle Accelerator)

As a researcher at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino, Bugorski used to work with the largest soviet particle acclerator, the Synchronous U-70. on July 13, 1978, Bugroski was checking a malfunctioning piece of equipment when he stuck his head in the part through which the Proton beam was running. Reportedly, he saw a flash "brighter than the thousand suns", but did not feel any pain. The Beam measured about 200,000 rads when it entered Bugroski's skull and about 300,000 rads when it exited after colliding with the inside of his head.

The left half of Bugroski's face swelled up beyond recognition, and over the next several days started peeling off, showing the path that the proton beam had burned through the parts of his face, his bone, and brain tissue underneath. As it was believed, 500-600 rads is enough to kill a person. Bugroski survived and eve completed his Ph.D. There was virtually no damage to his intellectual capacity., but the fatigue of mental work increased markedly. He completely lost hearing in the left ear and only a constant, unpleasant internal noise remained. The left half of his face was frozen.

5. Roy Sullivan(Struck By Lightning 7 times)

Roy Sullivan was a Virginia Forest Ranger who had an incredible attraction to lightning..or either lightning had an attraction to him. Over his 36-year old career as a ranger, Sullivan was struck by lightning 7 times- and survived each jolt, but not unscathed. His seventh strike put him in the Guinness Book Of World Records.

In 1942, the first lightning strike shot through Sullivan's and knocked his big toenail off.
In 1969, a second strike burned off his eyebrows and made him unconscious.
In 1970, another strike left his shoulder seared.
In 1972, his hair was set on fire and he had to dump a bucket of water over his head to cool off.
On August 7, 1973, another bolt ripped through his hat and hit him on the head, set his hair on fire again, threw him out of his truck and knocked his left show off.
On June 5, 1976, a sixth strike left him with an injured ankle.
On June 25th, 1977, the last strike sent him to the hospital with sever chest and stomach burns.

Most Expensive Homes In The World

2015-11-08T05:09:00.000-08:00

Most people take pride in their home and often work hard to keep it looking as nice as possible. For most of us, that’s a job we can handle with little or no help from others, but for some homeowners, maintaining their own home and keeping up with all the chores would be nearly impossible. These are the homes of the super-rich, the most expensive homes in the entire world. Large homes are nice, but these properties are truly extreme, and might cause one to wonder how someone can actually live in a home that is closer in size to an office building or warehouse. How “homey” can a huge house be? That, presumably, is a matter of opinion, and perhaps it is safe to assume that the owners of these extreme homes find them “homey” enough for their taste. Of all the many millions of homes on the face of the planet, these are the most expensive of all.

1. Buckingham Palace – $1.55 Billion

The price tag on this historic and very prestigious residence reflects the kind of money we usually associate with the price of an aircraft carrier or perhaps a stealth bomber aircraft. Buckingham Palace was built in 1703 and was planned as a “large townhouse” for the Duke of Buckingham. Their definition of “large” is obviously just a bit understated! As most people probably know, it is now the official residence of the British Royal Family when they are in London. This colossal home has a total of 775 rooms, and that includes 188 staff rooms, 52 bedrooms, 92 offices, 78 bathrooms, and 19 state rooms. It’s probably safe to say that there has never been any competition for bathroom space among those who spent time growing up there!

2. Antilla – $1 Billion

This impressive homestead located in Mumbai, India would actually be the envy of some office buildings due to the amount of space it contains! This 27-storey residence occupies around 400,000 square feet, boasts a total of six underground parking levels and three helicopter pads. A staff of 600 is responsible for keeping this gigantic home clean, well-maintained and operating smoothly. The owner is Mukesh Ambani, who happens to own the second-most valuable company in all of India, Reliance Industries, which is involved with energy production.

3. Villa Leapolda – $750 Million

No one can say that King Leopold II of Belgium didn’t know how treat his mistresses, since he actually had this lavish home constructed for one of them! This massive home is currently owned by Lily Safra, a Brazilian socialite and noted philanthropist. Villa Leapolda is located in the French town of Villefranche-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. The home is situated on ten exquisitely manicured acres and features gardens that require a staff of 50 to properly maintain. This home is also somewhat of a movie star, having been featured in the Alfred Hitchcock movie To Catch A Thief.

4. Four Fairfield Pond – $248.5 Million

This may be the ultimate example of luxury and self-sufficiency since this property has its very own power plant. It boasts 29 bedrooms, 39 bathrooms, a bowling alley, tennis courts, squash courts, a basketball court, a dining room that is over 90 feet in length, three swimming pools, and more than 100,000 square feet of interior space. It sits on a generous 63 acres or property in Sagaponack, New York and is owned by Ira Rennert, a business man and successful investor who has interests in metals, mining, industrial fixtures, and manufacturing.

5. 18-19 Kensington Palace Gardens – $222 Million

Back we go again to Great Britain for the low-down on the fifth-most expensive home in the world. This London estate is located on a street that is known as Billionaires Row and boasts neighbors like Prince William and Kate Middleton. This residence is currently owned by Indian billionaire Laksmi Mittal, the top executive of the world’s largest steel manufacturing company. The home features 12 bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, Turkish baths and sufficient parking for 20 automobiles. Mittal purchased the home from Formula 1 racing chief executive Bernie Ecclestone.

6. Ellison Estate – $200 Million

Those who follow the technology industry probably recognize the name of this property as the one that’s owned by Oracle co-founder and chairman Larry Ellison. Located on 23 acres in Woodside, California, it features a total of ten buildings, a tea house, bath house, koi pond, and a man-made lake. Construction was definitely not rushed during the nine years it took to complete this estate. Ellison was once listed as the third richest man in the United States and owns numerous other properties in the areas around Lake Tahoe and Malibu.

7. Hearst Castle – $191 Million

This majestic residence in San Simeon, California may be recognizable to many as one that was featured in the movie The Godfather. It has also hosted it’s fair share of dignitaries including Former President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie, Bob Hope, Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Winston Churchill, and Franklin Roosevelt. Although the former owner of the 27-room estate, newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearts has passed away, the property remains in the hands of his trustees. It is now regarded as a heritage and tourist site through an agreement between the California Park System and the Hearst Estate.

8. Seven The Pinnacle – $155 Million

Although the location of this luxury property might be considered a bit out-of-the-way by most, it’s not lacking in the kinds of amenities that the rich and famous are accustomed to. This is the largest property located in the Yellowstone Club, a private ski and golf resort for billionaires. Since winters get pretty cold in Montana, the residence features heated floors throughout to prevent guest’s feet from getting cold. There is also a large wine cellar, bathrooms that feature their own fireplaces, a gym, a ski-lift, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools. After going bankrupt in 2008 due to mismanagement, the resort property was sold to American real estate developer and record producer Tim Blixseth and his wife.

Understanding A Girl

2015-11-06T20:50:00.001-08:00

Most commonly heard phrase- "It is next to impossible to understand a girl". Yeah, it's true. I have found no one in the world yet who could say that he knows everything about a girl that is how she feels or how she reacts in which situation.

In most of the cases, it is very difficult to read a girl's mind and understand what she actually feels like at a particular moment. Mostly girls don't like to tell everything on their own but want you to understand them without letting them say anything. And it is really a difficult job to figure out what is going through her mind.

Sometimes, being unable to understand her might make you get frustrated. But your frustration might spoil her mood. No girl want anyone to get frustrated because of her. Being a girl, I can commit that even I am unable to understand myself than how can anyone else understand me. But once you start to understand a girl's feelings, she would be with you forever because no girl would ever leave a person who could understand her so well. In order to understand her, you need to be calm. Some things that you can do to make her happy:

1. ALWAYS EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS:

Always tell her what exactly you feel about her. A girl would always love to know what is her importance in your life and how do you feel to be with her. So, keep telling her about your feelings time to time. Sometimes she want to listen to some things again and again,even though she already know it, just because it makes her feel happy. Letting her know that how important is she for you would make her feel special about her and she would stay happy.

2. GIRLS ARE NOT DUMB:

If a girl asks you about something again and again, it doesn't mean that she is dumb. It's just that she is happy to listen to the same thing from you again and again. For an example, if she makes you say -"You like her" or "She is cute" more than once,it doesn't mean that she didn't heard it at once or she don't understand it at once but she want you to say that again and again because she is feeling good on listening to these things.

3. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HER:

Never underestimate a girl if she want to do something by saying that "You can't do it" or "It's very difficult for you to perform this task". Doing this will make her feel bad. She will feel that even her partner is not supporting her. This will lower her confidence level. And even she may start ignoring you. Be aware of what you are saying. And be sure that what you say don't hurt her.

4. MAKE THEM HAPPY:

Most of the girls smile and laugh even on the silly most things done by their partner. Always try to keep a good environment around her. Make her laugh by cracking some jokes or in some other way. If you can't crack jokes, then at least keep a smiling face most of the times. Looking at a sad, tensed or upset face, she will also get upset after sometime and it would become very difficult to make her smile again. So, always try to maintain a happy environment around her.

5. SHARE YOUR FEELINGS WITH HER:

If you are not feeling good or there is some kind of problem, then share it with her. She will understand you and your situation, but never avoid her if you are in a bad mood. Tell her everything, don't let her feel that she is not mature enough to understand your situation. This will upset her and she can even start to avoid sharing things with you.

6. GIVE HER TIME:

All that a girl needs is your time and your love. So, try to keep a balance between the time you give her, your friends and your family. Don't tell her that you are busy with other people, so don't have time for her. Always take out some time to talk to her and listen to her. Never say that she is creating trouble in your life. Because this might make her leave you forever as a girl never want to trouble her partner. She might leave without saying anything even if she love you more than anyone else.

7. MAKE HER FEEL SPECIAL:

Just saying the words "I LOVE YOU" in between a conversation could be so magical and can have a great effect on a her. This will make her feel very special and you can see that in her eyes. Keep doing some things to make her feel special. Holding her hand in front of your friends, giving a hug while talking to her, make her meet with your friends and accepting that what she is for you in front of other people rather than hiding your relationship would make her feel happy. And she remembers such precious moments for a long time and blushes or smiles while thinking about that.

8. HOLD THEM WITH CARE WHEN THEY ARE UPSET:

If a girl is in bad mood, then hold them with care. Don't get angry on her by saying that she always gets upset. This might spoil her mood even further. Most of the girls cry a lot even on small things. If she cries, try to comfort her by telling her that you are there with her. If she continues to cry, then also sit besides her to ensure her that you care for her. Don't just walk away by saying that she keeps crying all the time. She want someone who can understand her, not someone who can judge her and give a decision about what she is.

9. DON'T COMPARE WITH OTHER GIRLS:

Never compare her with other girls in your group or around you. Every person is different in looks and character. Comparing her with anyone else would make her feel sad. She want you to know what she is, not what she could be or should be like. Don't ask her to change but accept her the way she is. If you don't like her, leave her, rather than asking her to change.

10. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR PROMISE:

If you promise her to go out with her somewhere or that you won't do something that she don't like again, or anything else, then do keep your promise. Never break your promise because this will make her feel that you don't care about what you promised her and she will start losing the trust she has on you. Keeping your promise will ensure her that whatever you say is true and she can trust you.

Effects of using two electronic devices at a time

2015-11-04T11:03:00.001-08:00

Using two or more devices together at the same time!! Then this is article is for you. Read it and understand what exactly are you doing with your eyes and your brain. And do you want to continue doing the same?

Many people think that it is cool thing to use many devices at the same time, but the reality is that they are harming their own brains by performing such an act. It's better to know what you are doing and how it is affecting your body before it's too late.

Now days people commonly use mobile or tablet while watching television or while using a laptop or a computer. This may help you do your work fast and also entertain you at the same time but will effect your brain so badly that you won't even be able to remember the things. A research conducted on a group of people gave these results. So, next time when you do this, just remember how bad effects it can have on your brain.

Copenhagen University, Denmark conducted a research on 80 people and concluded that while using two or more electronic devices at the same time, the light from the multiple devices strikes the retina of your eyes at the same time which can be dangerous for the brain.

Retina is the inner part of eye that is made up of a light sensitive tissue. The light from various objects makes a picture on the retina, which helps us to see the clear pictures of the objects around us. Light enters the eyes by passing through the cornea, pupil and lens and the visual processing begins at the retina. Although the image is made on the retina but we can recognize the images only after our brain processes the image sent to it by the retina.

Due to the light entering your eyes from two or more different devices, brain starts releasing a hormone called 'Dopamine'. This hormone can make your brain numb (deprived of the power of physical sensation) which may decrease the IQ level of your brain making it difficult for you to remember things.

In today's generation, most of the kids use multiple devices together (playing game on one, watching movie on the other, studying on the third device, and so on). As a parent or a guardian, you must teach your kids about what is good for them and what is not. As now days, even a 2 year old child know how to use the various electronic devices. So, they are exposed to the harmful rays coming out of the electronic devices at a very young age, which do effect their brains and eyes. Try to keep your young ones away from such harmful devices as much as possible.

So it would be better to avoid using two or more electronic devices together in order to protect your brain from this harmful effect as your act to be smart by working on two or more electronic devices at the same time may make your brain so weak that it would be difficult to even remember things sometimes.

So, please make sure that you never use two devices at the same time.
