Theonlyson: Forex - The foreign exchange market, also known as the forex market, allows traders to profit from currency movements in real time. The foreign exchange is an interbank market that is open 24h/day, 5 days a week. The forex market is very liquid; over $5.5 trillion dollars are traded every day between various traders and financial institutions. Online forex trading has been available to individual traders since the 1990s. The number of online brokers has risen sharply in recent years and choosing a broker has therefore become increasingly complicated. However, strong competition between brokers and dealers has significantly improved trading conditions as well as the services that are available to traders. Currently, it is possible to invest, with just one click, in all of the financial markets with a single trading platform. Spot forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) allow you to invest in currencies, commodities, oil, precious metals, stocks and stock indexes. Thanks to the leverage which forex margin s provide, the initial capital required to open an is not very high. Nevertheless, these types of s are not without risk, as leverage increases potential profits, but losses as well. Risk Warning Trading foreign currencies is a challenging and potentially profitable opportunity for educated and experienced investors. However, before deciding to participate in the Forex market, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. Most importantly, do not invest money you cannot afford to lose. There is considerable exposure to risk in any off-exchange foreign exchange transaction, including, but not limited to, leverage, creditworthiness, limited regulatory protection and market volatility that may substantially affect the price, or liquidity of a currency or currency pair.

Onyegecha: Dont mistake baking soda for baking powder, baking power is a mixture of baking soda and an acid, and if swallowed ,poses a detrimental effect on the system. the only effect baking soda gives is flatulence if taken with meals due to the reaction with the stomach acid. patient with serious terminal diseases placed on a sodium restricted diet should also be careful with the use of baking soda as it is very rich in sodium. if taken in the right dose, it is extremely harmless and highly beneficial ![]() |

Sodium bicarbonate is probably one of the most useful substances in the world; no wonder the pharmaceutical companies don’t want doctors or anyone else to know much about it. It is essential when treating cancer,cleansing of the kidney and other diseases. We do not have to fear bicarbonate intake. And in fact, people who live in areas of the world with high amounts of bicarbonate in their drinking waters have a striking decreased mortality rate and a decreased prevalence of disease. Sodium bicarbonate, though often used as a medicine, is unlike pharmaceutical compounds. It is a natural non-toxic substance that does not require clinical trials for an assessment of toxicity. Spring waters contain bicarbonate ions which are coupled mainly with sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium ions. The Many Health Benefits of Baking Soda Many components of the modern western diet – meats, fish, dairy products, most grains, sugars, alcohol and caffeinated drinks (in fact, almost everything except vegetables, millet, most fruits and, as we have just seen, apple cider vinegar) – contribute to one’s body becoming too acidic. This in turn can open the door to a variety of problems, some of them (including arthritic complaints) potentially serious if this acidic condition persists for many years. This is because your body will attempt to compensate by retaining alkaline salts in the bloodstream to offset the increase of tissue acidity. Since your body can only tolerate a small imbalance in blood pH (the acid-alkali balance), it will rob alkaline components from other places – including your body’s precious alkaline reserves – in an effort to restore proper pH equilibrium. This can result in heartburn, digestive distress, stomach upset, fatigue and a multitude of other symptoms. Simple, inexpensive kitchen baking soda can fix this. Very useful in keeping the body healthily alkalized is half to one teaspoon a day of baking soda in water. Don’t take it with or within an hour of meals, though, as the stomach needs to retain its acidity in order to perform its digestive functions effectively. A great deal of tap water (or even store-bought spring water) is surprisingly acidic; filtration will remove toxins but will not affect the pH balance of the water. (Baking soda can be used to reduce the corrosion of acidic drinking water in municipal water supplies, therefore reducing the toxicity of the lead and copper, which are dissolved from the pipes.) There also are interesting health benefits when you drink baking soda, which is alkaline, in water. Viruses and diseases such as colds, flu, cancer and even heart disease thrive in an acidic body, but cannot survive when your body is alkaline. The 2009 Journal of the American Society of Nephrology revealed a study of 134 patients with advanced kidney disease. Taking baking soda daily dramatically slowed down the progression of kidney disease, resulting in no need for dialysis. reason people visit their doctors each year. Men get UTIs, but they are much more common in women -- more than eight million women head to their doctor for UTI treatment annually. And 20 percent of these women will get a second UTI. If you've ever had a UTI, you'll probably never forget the symptoms. It usually starts with a sudden and frequent need to visit the potty. When you get there, you can squeeze out only a little bit of urine, and that's usually accompanied by a burning sensation in your bladder and/or urethra. In more extreme cases you may end up with fever, chills, back pain, and even blood in your urine. The good news is that there are many home remedies you can try to prevent or remedy a UTI.

UTIs that last longer than two days require medical intervention. Untreated UTIs can infect the kidneys and turn into a much more serious problem. To help prevent a UTI from developing or nip one in the bud, try adding 1 teaspoon baking soda to a glass of water as it may help ease your infection. The soda neutralizes the acidity in your urine, speeding along your recovery. To increase your body’s pH, take 1/4 tsp. of baking soda dissolved in one-half glass of water on an empty stomach, once in the morning and again before bedtime. Acidity and alkalinity is measured by pH, which ranges from 0 to 14 with 7.0 being neutral; a pH above 7.0 is alkaline, and below 7.0 is acidic. Baking soda has the highest pH of 14. Create a healthy body by keeping your body’s pH between 7.1 and 7.5. Drink the baking soda and water solution at the very beginning of cold or flu symptoms, such as a runny nose or sneezing, to help kill the viruses. Keep your body alkaline by increasing fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. If you’re an athlete, swallow sodium bicarbonate supplements with water to buffer lactic acid buildup and improve your exercise performance. Ingest 0.3 g of sodium bicarbonate per 2.2 lb. of body weight, one to two hours before the event, drinking plenty of water.this is also called soda doping with mitochondria cocktail Health Benefit of Baking Soda Cancer. Studies have shown that dietary measures to boost bicarbonate levels can increase the pH of acidic tumors without upsetting the pH of the blood and healthy tissues. Although this hasn’t yet been studied in human clinical trials, animal models of human breast cancer show that oral sodium bicarbonate does indeed make tumors more alkaline and inhibit metastasis. Based on these studies—plus the fact that baking soda is safe and well tolerated—we’ve adopted this therapy at Whitaker Wellness as part of our overall nutritional and immune protocol for patients who are dealing with cancer. At the clinic, we use 12 g (2 rounded teaspoons) of baking soda mixed in 2 cups water, along with a low-cal sweetener of your choice. (It’s quite salty tasting.) Sip this mixture over the course of an hour or two and repeat for a total of three times a day. Drink a glass of water with a half lemon or lime squeezed into it twice daily(For Cancer Treatment) if you are unable to take baking soda and water. Lemons and limes are acidic but become alkaline in your body, raising your alkalinity almost as well as baking soda. You can purchase a pH testing kit for home use very cheaply, and if the water you usually drink is acidic (i.e. with a pH of less than 7.0) you could remedy this cheaply and easily by adding a pinch of baking soda to all the water you consume. Baking soda is also effective for polishing teeth (without scratching the tooth surface) and fighting bad breath (sprinkle a little on the toothbrush bristles). It can even be tried for exfoliating skin when acne is a problem (add a little to a facial cleanser in place of using a commercial facial scrub). When baking soda is added to bath water, sunburn sufferers often experience a notable reduction in pain. Place a cup (8 ounces) of baking soda under the running bath tap so it dissolves completely, and soak in a lukewarm tub for about half an hour. Such a bath will soothe the pain – and you won’t have to endure the stinging sensation of a shower. Adding baking soda to a hot bath at any time also helps wash acid wastes out of the body. In addition, baking soda can be used in cool (but not cold) bath water to soothe other skin irritations and alleviate itching from prickly heat, bee stings, insect bites, and other minor skin ailments. A paste (made with just enough water to get the desired sticky consistency) placed on an insect bite or sting and allowed to dry is a time-tested approach for drawing out and neutralizing poisons. People with skin allergies who tend to react to commercial laundry detergents might find that washing their clothing and bedding in baking soda is less irritating. Simple baking soda may also weaken the desire for a cigarette as well as reduce the desire for sugar and sweets. It’s used in kidney dialysis to reduce the level of acids in the bloodstream, and acts to prevent bacterial growth in food products. For general purposes of alkalinizing the body, quarter to half a teaspoon twice a day in water is usually enough. The medicinal and self-care uses of baking soda were recognized by the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) more than 150 years ago. For years, baking soda has been recommended because of its antacid effects, mainly to neutralize stomach acids that can cause heartburn, acid indigestion and related discomforts. Health Benefit of Baking Soda: Oral Health. Baking soda is a popular ingredient in toothpastes and mouthwashes since it has been shown to enhance plaque removal. Of course, you could just dip your toothbrush in baking soda, but due to its abrasive qualities, it may wear down enamel over time. Therefore, I recommend going with the commercial products. Health Benefit of Baking Soda: Athletic Performance. When taken before intense exercise, sodium bicarbonate buffers the lactic acid that builds up in hard-working muscles, delays fatigue and enhances athletic performance. Topical use of baking soda is safe and nontoxic. Oral use is also safe, provided you do not exceed the recommended doses, as this could upset the body’s acid-base balance. Larger amounts can cause temporary nausea and diarrhea. Note: Although sodium bicarbonate contains quite a bit of sodium, it does not raise blood pressure.The hypertensive effect of salt (sodium chloride) comes from the combination of sodium and chloride. Also note that baking soda is very different from baking powder as the latter will hurt your system if swallowed Now it’s your turn: How do you take advantage of the health benefits of baking soda? function. source: http://www.21stcenturynetworker.com/articles/the-many-health-benefits-of-baking-soda/ |

Now is the time to look into retrospect, and have a close look at our investing triumphs & Mistakes. And, what could be better than learning from the Master Stockpicker, Warren Buffett himself. Here are some of his best quotes: 1. If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians. 2. In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield. 3. It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently. 4. It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price. 5. Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it. 6. Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars. 7. Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years. 8. Why not invest your assets in the companies you really like? As Mae West said, "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful". 9. Wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing. 10. You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong. 11. Your brand had better be delivering something special, or it's not going to get the business. 12. Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked. 13. Our favorite holding period is forever. 14. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. 15. Risk is a part of God's game, alike for men and nations. 16. Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks. 19. The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth. 20. The only time to buy these is on a day with no "y" in it. 21. The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves-and the better the teacher, the better the student body. 21. Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre. 22. We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.' 23. We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds. 24. A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought. 25. I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.. 26 If a business does well, the stock-eventually follows. 27. I have had everything I wanted all my life. At 20, I was having the time of my life doing what I did. Today, I'm eating the same things I always eat - burghers, fries and cherry coke. Only my clothes are more expensive now but they look cheap when I put them on! 3 Likes 1 Share |

Hello dear friends, it almost the end of the year, and am glad to see most traders happy because of their trading is also smiling at them.But from my personal observation i tend to spot most Mistakes successful Traders Avoid, these are the biggest mistakes most traders make especially the newbies. If you avoid these simple mistakes as a newbie, you will find yourself among the minority successful traders in the forex market. 1. Trading with Emotions I think most traders lose money because they cant keep their emotions of trading. People usually get in a trade based off of logic but when a trade goes against them,their emotions tend to do the thinking. one thing to is that the market does not care that you need to pay bills or buy a brand new car, it will do what it's going to do and you cant make it do otherwise. Always define your risk, and if you lose money, just say next and move on, dont keep focusing on the last trade for revenge trading. 2. Not Having Discipline You need to have discipline if you are gonna make it as a trader. you have to be able to stick with your trading plan religiously, and not deviate one bit from it. 3. Not Having a Trade Plan If you dont have a trading plan, you are going to fail as a trader. A plan is what is going to keep you out of trouble when your emotions start doing the thinking for you. Just follow the plan no matter what. A good trading plan should consist of what to do if i'm right and what to do if i'm wrong before i get into the trade. anytime you start a new trading plan, begin on a Demo/Practice , and once you reach a successful level, switch your trading to a live . 4.changing a Trade plan During Trading Changing a trading plan during trading is usually caused by fear. A plan should be based of statistics that work overall, not every trade will work out. In my early days of trading career in forex trading, after entering a trade, i would walk away from the computer after setting my stoploss and takeprofit orders, and let the trade continue, because I use to have a hard times during those period dealing with my emotions, and would lose more money because of changing a trade plan due to a seductive movement in price change.sometimes i feel this is the easiest way to make money while building your confidence in the process 5. Not having a Proper Money Management A lot of traders think it's cool to trade using 20% margin or more, this is one of the biggest mistakes traders make. Being able to live to trade another day has been my trading philosophy. successful traders risk 5% margin or less on a single trade. if you risk 20% margin on a single trade and made a loss, then you can only trade five times with that 20% margin risk, but when using a 5% margin, you will be able to trade 20 times should in case a loss should occur. 6. Not Increasing your Commitment with Success Many times while in a winning trade, you will be tempted to add additional lots to increase profits, but if the market direction should reverse right after you placed the additional trades, you will be taking a big loss when you should have been taking a profit. Staying under 5% margin risk per trade is critical, no matter what. 7. Adding to a losing trade Many traders will add to a losing position believing when it goes back up, they will make more money. what usually happen is they end up losing much more money. If you are wrong on a trade, just take the loss and wait for another trade setup with high chance of success. don't forget to always cut your losses short and let your profits run 8. Using Mental Stops in place of Stop Loss orders People tend to not use a stop due to the fear of being "stopped out", so they use a mental stop instead. Positioning your stop in the right place will allow your trade to breathe. you will lose more by not using a stop because what usually happens when using a mental stop is you tend to say "just give it more time,it will return back", but in most cases, it never does and you end up losing much more than you should 1 Like |

What is the Venus Project [img]http://betterarchitecture.files./2013/03/tvp-logo-01.png[/img] The Venus Project is an organization that proposes a feasible plan of action for social change, one that works towards a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines an alternative to strive toward where human rights are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life. We operate out of a 21.5-acre Research Center located in Venus, Florida. [img]http://1.bp..com/-JpSclmHW-ew/TqBVmmoRhvI/AAAAAAAAB_4/tYoRAsb_M/s640/3.PNG[/img] When one considers the enormity of the challenges facing society today, we can safely conclude that the time is long overdue for us to re-examine our values and to reflect upon and evaluate some of the underlying issues and assumptions we have as a society. This self-analysis calls into question the very nature of what it means to be human, what it means to be a member of a "civilization," and what choices we can make today to ensure a prosperous future for all the world's people. At present we are left with very few alternatives. The answers of yesterday are no longer relevant. Either we continue as we have been with our outmoded social customs and habits of thought, in which case our future will be threatened, or we can apply a more appropriate set of values that are relevant to an emergent society. Experience tells us that human behavior can be modified, either toward constructive or destructive activity. This is what The Venus Project is all about - directing our technology and resources toward the positive, for the maximum benefit of people and planet, and seeking out new ways of thinking and living that emphasize and celebrate the vast potential of the human spirit. We have the tools at hand to design and build a future that is worthy of the human potential. The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. What follows is not an attempt to predict what will be done, only what could be done. The responsibility for our future is in our hands, and depends on the decisions that we make today. The greatest resource that is available today is our own ingenuity. While social reformers and think tanks formulate strategies that treat only superficial symptoms, without touching the basic social operation, The Venus Project approaches these problems somewhat differently. We feel we cannot eliminate these problems within the framework of the present political and monetary establishment. It would take too many years to accomplish any significant change. Most likely they would be watered down and thinned out to such an extent that the changes would be indistinguishable. The Venus Project advocates an alternative vision for a sustainable new world civilization unlike any social system that has gone before. Although this description is highly condensed, it is based upon years of study and experimental research by many, many people from many scientific disciplines. We propose a fresh, holistic approach - one that is dedicated to human and environmental concerns. It is an attainable vision of a bright and better future, one that is appropriate to the times in which we live, and both practical and feasible for a positive future for all the world's people. The Venus Project calls for a straightforward approach to the redesign of a culture, in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt, environmental degradation and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but totally unacceptable. One of the basic premises of The Venus Project is that we work towards having all of the Earth's resources as the common heritage of all the world's people. Anything less will simply result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in the present system. Throughout history, change has been slow. Successive groups of incompetent leaders have replaced those that preceded them, but the underlying social and economic problems remain because the basic value systems have gone unaltered. The problems we are faced with today cannot be solved politically or financially because they are highly technical in nature. There may not even be enough money available to pay for the required changes, but there are more than enough resources. This is why The Venus Project advocates the transition from a monetary-based society to the eventual realization of a resource-based global economy. We realize to make the transition from our present culture, which is politically incompetent, scarcity-oriented and obsolete, to this new, more humane society will require a quantum leap in both thought and action. An Obsolete Monetary System The money-based system evolved centuries ago. All of the world's economic systems - socialism, communism, fascism, and even the vaunted free enterprise system - perpetuate social stratification, elitism, nationalism, and racism, primarily based on economic disparity. As long as a social system uses money or barter, people and nations will seek to maintain the economic competitive edge or, if they cannot do so by means of commerce they will by military intervention. We still utilize these same outmoded methods. Our current monetary system is not capable of providing a high standard of living for everyone, nor can it ensure the protection of the environment because the major motive is profit. Strategies such as downsizing and toxic dumping increase the profit margin. With the advent of automation, cybernation, artificial intelligence and out sourcing, there will be an ever-increasing replacement of people by machines. As a result, fewer people will be able to purchase goods and services even though our capability to produce an abundance will continue to exist. Our present, outmoded political and economic systems are unable to apply the real benefits of today's innovative technology to achieve the greatest good for all people, and to overcome the inequities imposed upon so many. Our technology is racing forward yet our social designs have remained relatively static. In other words cultural change has not kept pace with technological change. We now have the means to produce goods and services in abundance for everyone. Unfortunately, today science and technology have been diverted from achieving the greatest good for reasons of self-interest and monetary gain through planned obsolescence sometimes referred to as the conscious withdrawal of efficiency. For example, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, whose function is presumed to be conducting research into ways of achieving higher crop yields per acre, actually pays farmers not to produce at full-capacity. The monetary system tends to hold back the application of these methods that we know would best serve the interests of people and the environment. In a monetary system purchasing power is not related to our capacity to produce goods and services. For example, during a depression, there are computers and DVD's on store shelves and automobiles in car lots, but most people do not have the purchasing power to buy them. The earth is still the same place; it is just the rules of the game that are obsolete and create strife, deprivation and unnecessary human suffering. A monetary system developed years ago as a device to control human behavior in an environment with limited resources. Today money is used to regulate the economy not for the benefit of the general populace, but for those who control the financial wealth of nations. Resource Based Economy All socio-economic systems, regardless of political philosophy, religious beliefs, or social customs, ultimately depend upon natural resources, i.e. clean air and water, arable land and the necessary technology and personnel to maintain a high standard of living. Simply stated, a resource-based economy utilizes existing resources rather than money and provides an equitable method of distributing these resources in the most efficient manner for the entire population. It is a system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter, or any other form of debt or servitude. Earth is abundant with plentiful resources; today our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival. Modern society has access to highly advanced technologies and can make available food, clothing, housing, medical care, a relevant educational system, and develop a limitless supply of renewable, non-contaminating energy such as geothermal, solar, wind, tidal, etc. It is now possible to have everyone enjoy a very high standard of living with all of the amenities that a prosperous civilization can provide. This can be accomplished through the intelligent and humane application of science and technology. To better understand the meaning of a resource-based economy consider this: if all the money in the world were destroyed, as long as topsoil, factories, and other resources were left intact, we could build anything we choose to build and fulfill any human need. It is not money that people need; rather, it is free access to the necessities of life. In a resource-based economy , money would be irrelevant. All that would be required are the resources and the manufacturing and distribution of the products. When education and resources are made available to all people without a price tag, there would be no limit to the human potential. Although this is difficult to imagine, even the wealthiest person today would be far better off in a resource based society as proposed by The Venus Project. Today the middle classes live better than kings of times past. In a resource based economy everyone would live better than the wealthiest of today. In a resource based society, the measure of success would be based on the fulfillment of one's individual pursuits rather than the acquisition of wealth, property and power. The Choice Is Ours To Make Human behavior is subject to the same laws as any other natural phenomenon. Our customs, behaviors, and values are byproducts of our culture. No one is born with greed, prejudice, bigotry, patriotism and hatred; these are all learned behavior patterns. If the environment is unaltered, similar behavior will reoccur. Today, much of the technology needed to bring about a global Resource Based Economy exists. If we choose to conform to the limitations of our present monetary-based economy, then it is likely that we will continue to live with its inevitable results: war, poverty, hunger, deprivation, crime, ignorance, stress, fear, and inequity. On the other hand, if we embrace the concept of a global resource-based economy , learn more about it, and share our understanding with our friends, this will help humanity evolve out of its present state.

The human race knows very little of itself, almost like a race with amnesia. As we continue to move forward through time, new discoveries are made that make old theories obsolete and false. It’s a good lesson that shows us how we can attach ourselves to “truths” and believe them whole-heartedly, often forgetting that truth is constantly changing and new paradigms of perception always lurk around the corner. ![]() Decades after scientists described our “chemical code” of life using the double helix DNA, researchers have discovered four-stranded DNA within human cells. The structures are called G-quadruplexes, because they form in regions of DNA that are full of guanine, one of the DNA molecule’s four building blocks. The others are adenine, cytosine and thymine. A hydrogen bond is responsible for holding the four guanines together. The four stranded DNA usually presents itself right before cell division. The discovery was published online in Nature Chemistry, and you can take a look at it here. The study was led by Shankar Balasubramanian at the University of cambridge, UK. For us, it strongly s a new paradigm to be investigated – using these four-stranded structures as targets for personalized treatments in the future.We have found that by trapping the quadruplex DNA with synthetic molecules we can sequester and stabilise them, providing important insights into how we might grind cell division to a halt — Shankar Balasubramanian The study went on to show certain links between concentrations of four-stranded G-quandruplexes and the process of DNA replication, which is crucial to cell division and cell production. G-quadruplexes, (when targeted with synthetic molecules responsible for trapping and holding these DNA structures) prevent cells from replicating their DNA, thus blocking cell division. Scientists believe that this discovery could possibly lead to a stop in cell proliferation at the root of cancer We are seeing links between trapping the G-quadruplexes with molecules and the ability to stop cells dividing, which is hugely exciting. The research indicates that G-quadruplexes are more likely to occur in genes of cells that are rapidly dividing such as cancer cells. It’s been sixty years since its structure was solved but work like this shows us that the story of DNA continues to twist and turn” – Shankar Balasubramanian We now know that G-quandruplexes form in the DNA of human cells. If anybody had mentioned this earlier, they would probably be labelled as crazy. Maybe we could take this as a lesson and accept the fact that there are always new discoveries to be made about our biology, as well as the nature of our reality. For all we know, our DNA could be multidimensional in nature? It could be 12 stranded DNA? Maybe we have yet to discover it? Maybe a majority of our DNA, and the biological functions it serves are largely undiscovered. Maybe some portions of our DNA have yet to be activated? The more we discover about our own biology, the better, as we are witnessing with the discovery of the G-quandruplex.

Watch Flying Fish Lift Up From the Water! This clip by BBC life shows the amazing mechanism of the flying fish, that is able to make powerful, self-propelled leaps out of water into air, where their long, wing-like fins enable gliding flight for up to 200 meters above the water's surface. This uncommon ability is a natural defense mechanism to evade predators. It's quite a sight, and perhaps one of the more extraordinary creatures in nature! This clip shared shows the fascinating and wonderful natural world around us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uFjmeWnFZ4 |

I am sure all of you have heard about Albert Einstein. Probably he is one of the most famous scientists who created a big revolution in the scientific world and opened several new gateways of research and development. Theory of relativity, founding of relativistic cosmology, the prediction of the deflection of light by gravity that was later ended to understanding of black holes, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, and… are only some of the things that he has done. now lets look at 25 amazing life lessons we can learn from him ![]() 1. Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death. 2. Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized. 3. Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it. 4. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. 5. A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem. 6. Love is a better teacher than duty. 7. If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. 8. No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. 9. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. 10. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. 11. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. 12. Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted. 13. Force always attracts men of low morality. 14. Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler. 15. A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. 16. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. 17. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. 18. It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. 19. Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either. 20. Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. 21. Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. 22. Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. 23. Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools. 24. Information is not knowledge. 25. Never lose a holy curiosity. 7 Likes 4 Shares |
