"Yogurt"

Yorgurt! Icy, yummy and fulfilling....................... Spoilt milk... doesn't sound too enticing but yogurt does.... whoever invented yogurt is a genious.... a healthy way of eating bacteria and a delicious dessert..... I loove yugurt! Do you?
Some facts about yogurt....
Yoghurt, yogurt or yogourt  is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria used to make yoghurt are known as "yoghurt cultures". Fermentation of lactose by these bacteria produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yoghurt its texture and its characteristic tang.
Yoghurt is nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. It has nutritional benefits beyond those of milk. People who are moderately lactose-intolerant can consume yoghurt without ill effects, because much of the lactose in the milk precursor is converted to lactic acid by the bacterial culture
Yoghurt containing live cultures is sometimes used in an attempt to prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea
A study published in the International Journal of Obesity (11 January 2005) also found that the consumption of low-fat yoghurt can promote weight loss, especially due to the calcium in the yoghurt.

"Glossophobia"

Have you got the jitters? Are you a nervous wreck? Well maybe or maybe not but its a fact that most people have experienced some type of nervous breakdown whether it be excess sweating, trembleing of voice, muttering, talking too fast, shaking, twitching, puking, and the list goes on. All of theses nervous symptoms may lead to destructive public or class presentaions or simply embrassment.  However, there are ways to oversome such cases by practicing multiple times beforehand, standing in front of an imaginary audience or mirror to recite your presentation and a host of other interesting methods of overcoming one's fears. Glossophobia or speech anxiety is the fear of public speaking. The word glossophobia comes from the Greek γλῶσσα glōssa, meaning tongue, and φόβος phobos, fear or dread. Many people only have this fear, while others may also have social phobia or social anxiety disorder.

Reasons why hwk is not good.....
  1. Homework Can Cause Depression
If the homework topic is hard or too boring, the student could get depressed at not being able to complete it. This could result in the subject feeling inadequate or have anger issues. This would be bad for society, as a person with this personality type would be a bane on society and be useless, as his feelings restrict him from reaching his full potential.
  1. By Doing Homework, I Might Get Biased to a Subject
For example, if I do to much English, I might grow to like it or hate it. This is bad, as being so biased to a subject will make us ignorant and retarded towards other subjects.
  1. There Are Some Other Things Which Rank Higher On My To-Do List Than Petty Homework
Global warming is a big issue and threatens to destroy our way of living. Although many people pretend it is not happening, the effects of global warming are evident to people with enough brains to notice that there is less water everywhere. By not using my computer to do homework, I can save a lot of electricity that can be used for other beneficial things. I would gladly write it out, but that would conflict with my ninth  reason.
  1. Another Part of my Life Includes Sleeping
Homework takes up a lot of my time, due to the uncontrollability of the situation. I have to sleep for a long duration at home, as I stay awake in class and listen attentively all day. If I don’t sleep a lot, I could die from exhaustion. Homework cuts into my sleeping time, and doesn’t serve a purpose at all. If they want to judge me by my written work, could they not just look at my assignments that are done at school? It is not like this homework piece will have something that will make everyone celebrate or jump for joy.
  1. If I Attempt To Do My Homework, Somewhere Along The Lines, Paper Will Be Involved
Believe it or not, an encounter with paper increases the chance of significant body harm from paper associated issues. If you use one piece of paper, there is a small chance of getting a paper cut. But, if you use it all the time, you’re bound to get a paper associated injury sooner or later.
  1. Using The Computer All The Time Wastes Electricity
The constant usage of such energy guzzling items results in furthering the effects of global warming and gives my parents a large electricity bill.

7. Printing Out Homework Kills Trees
After I have typed my homework, I’ll have to print it out so that it can be viewed and marked by the teachers. By printing it out, a tree will be wasted for my education. I value life above homework, and I would rather have that tree live another day than do homework.
  1. After Typing (Or Writing) For a Long Time, My Fingers Start Hurting Due To Their Constant Use
My neck also starts aching and I feel a small sensation of pain. This constant stress on parts of my body that I need could affect me in the future. If you get pains in your fingers or neck, you immediately try to stretch them. This causes stress to the bone joints, and could cause arthritis in the future. I would prefer not to have these pains, and this seems a perfectly good reason not to do homework.

9. If I don't do my hwk I will fail :(

Pink Dolphins

Go to fullsize imageDid you know that pink dolphins exist? Wierd right?..... Well thats what I learn't in my tourism class and I found it quite interesting..... I thought that pink dolphins only existed in fairy tales such as the little mermaid...... and what's more interesting is its lengendary story..... It is said or believed that went looking straight in the eye of a pink dolphin... you are to have nightmares for the rest of your life.  However, in some community it was believed that the pink dolphin transformed into a handsome man at night and seduced young women wondering about at night and  impregnates them.... then returns to the river in the  morning and transforms into  a dolphin again.... that story was used as a cover up for incest within families....people were very naive in those days.... and made up such stories.
Some facts about pink dolphins:
The Amazon river dolphin, alternately Bufeo, Bufeo Colorado, Boto, Boto Cor de Rosa, Boutu, Nay, Tonina, or Pink River Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), is a freshwater river dolphin endemic to the Orinoco, Amazon and Araguaia/Tocantins River systems of Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. The largest of the river dolphins, this species is not to be confused with the Tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis), whose range overlaps that of the Amazon river dolphin but is not a true river dolphin. Because they are unfused, the neck vertebrae of the Amazon river dolphin are able to turn 180 degrees. The pink dolphin lives in the freshwater of the Amazon River. This species looks like the grey dolphin, but individuals are bigger, and, instead of a dorsal fin, they have a hump on their back. Their tails are also bigger. The pink dolphin has been listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of the Nature due to pollution, overfishing, excessive boat trafficking and habitat loss. The brain of the river dolphin is 40% larger than a human brain.

"Its all about happy feet and shoes"

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes some people go crazy over shoes.... some even collect them just for doing so...... without even thinking about how much investment they have made on just shoes.... shoes now come different shapes and sizes... OH! and colours too... some even look eatable lol! People wear shoes according to their personalities and choice of style such as designer shoes made by Vera Wang Kenneth Cole, and Chinese Laundry. Shoes... Believe it or not some are made of scraps and sold at mind blowing prices............ Don't you loooove shoes?.....
Heres a little about shoes....
Sandals were the most common footwear in most early civilizations, however, a few early cultures had shoes.  As late as 1850 most shoes were made on absolutely straight lasts, there being no difference between the right and the left shoe
Cinderella, the most famous princess bride, married her prince wearing sparkling glass slippers. Catherine de Medici, one of the first brides in history to walk down the aisle in high heels, inspired a fashion trend that continues today. Anglo-Saxon brides tossed shoes rather than bouquets to bridesmaids who hoped to be the next to marry. Brides in merry old England followed the directive that they wear "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue -- and a sixpence in her shoe" by tucking coins into their wedding slippers. Also, Queen Victoria inspired millions of modern-day brides by choosing a white gown and white shoes for her wedding in 1840. Until then, blue was the color of choice for bridal ensembles. Princess Diana, a statuesque 5 feet 10 inches tall, chose low-heeled, pearl-encrusted, ivory silk flats for her wedding, so as not to tower over Prince Charles.

Shoes are what make ......Happy Feet :)
Before you say "I do" to a pair of shoes for your wedding, experts offer the following advice:
  • Don't sacrifice comfort for style. Remember that you'll be on your feet from your walk down the aisle to the last dance.
  • Choose a heel height you're used to wearing. A wider heel offers more support and stability.
  • To ensure a good fit, shop for shoes at the end of the day, when your feet are at their largest.
  • Bring your shoes with you to gown fittings so your hemline will be just the right length.
  • Wear the shoes around the house before the wedding to break them in a bit.
  • Blisters are the last thing a bride needs on her special day. Just in case, tuck bandages and moleskin into your wedding emergency kit.
  • Remember, new shoes can be slippery. Gently roughing the soles with a piece of sandpaper will help provide traction.

It diversify's with cultures and the characteristics of each and every individual. Friends may be very different but thats what makes them friends.Futhermore, to some people deepening friendships mean people can trust you with their secrets, both large and small.  It is believed that good friends never break a confidence. Thus, when we know someone is trustworthy and loyal, we will take the risk that friendship requires.
