Why we forward jokes?

This explains why we forward jokes…

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery,

when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and

that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where

the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough, he called out, “Excuse me, where are we?”

“This is Heaven, sir,” the man answered.

“Wow! Would you happen to have some water?” the man asked.

“Of course, sir. Come right in, and I’ll have some ice water brought right up.”

The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

“Can my friend,” gesturing toward his dog, “come in, too?” the traveler asked.

“I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.”

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

“Excuse me!” he called to the man. “Do you have any water?”

“Yeah, sure, there’s a pump over there, come on in.”

“How about my friend here?” the traveler gestured to the dog.

“There should be a bowl by the pump.”

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.

“What do you call this place?” the traveler asked.

“This is Heaven,” he answered.

“Well, that’s confusing,” the traveler said. “The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.”

“Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Yup.

That’s hell.”

“Doesn’t it make you mad for them to use your name like that?”

“No, we’re just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best

friends behind.”

Soooo …

Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word.

Maybe this will explain.

When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward jokes.

When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes.

When you have something to say, but don’t know what, and don’t know how, you forward jokes.

Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get?

A forwarded joke.

So, next time if you get a joke, don’t think that you’ve been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you’ve been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile.

So, that’s the reason I forward emails … J

Art Apocalyptic Art for the 2012 End of Days !

As we approach the New Year, the countdown to the End of Times has already begun, so, you know, chop chop — start prepping! Or praying, depending on which version of events you subscribe to. But first, let’s take a short survey of various apocalyptic visions in art history and today’s contemporary art and illustration. Whether grounded in biblical belief, Hollywood disaster film hysteria, or modern fears of a nuclear war, get ready for a year of enthusiastic resurgence of the “End of the World” motif because December 21, 2012 is only 360 days and 10 hours — to the minute! — away.

Get glowing skin naturally

We all know that fresh fruits and vegetables are a storehouse of vitamins and minerals that are important for our body.


Yet, most of us prefer opting for creams and other artificial treatments. So instead of splurging money on products that may or may not help you get beautiful skin, why not get better results by simply eating healthy!


1. Eat Vitamin A rich foods like papaya, peaches, carrot, green leafy vegetables etc. They increase resistance and support skin growth.


2. Vitamin C rich foods such as lime, awla, oranges, guava, spinach, etc help in collagen synthesis, which holds skin cells together. They promote clear skin and a fresh complexion. Fresh fruits and vegetables juices are amazing option to provide vitamins and minerals to skin which are directly absorbed through blood stream and keeps you hydrated.


3. Tomatoes are very rich in lycopene - which acts as an antioxidant that protects skin from internal damage.


4. Whole grains, cereals, almonds, walnuts are very rich in Vitamin E, which makes our skin soft, smooth and supple.


5. In winter we don't feel like drinking water but make it a point to drink loads of water as water flushes out toxins and maintains skin elasticity.


6. Avoid intake of excessive tea/coffee as it dehydrates the skin and blocks the absorption of nutrients making the skin look dull and dry. Instead consume green tea which is an excellent skin rejuvenator and antioxidant.


7. Exercise regularly as it improves blood flow throughout the body.

Calorie and Diabetic Diets

Diabetes is an adverse physical condition which should not be taken lightly. These conditions can be fatal if not taken proper care of. Diabetes is a condition which is also influenced by obesity. Extensively surplus body weight, more than the recommended body weight according to height, makes you prone to diabetes mellitus, a condition in which blood sugar level is high. It is known that obese people are more susceptible to diabetes. It should be known that extra calories can serves as a reason for diabetes as it influences and invigorates obesity.


Aims of a diabetic and obese victim
An obese individual when determines that he / she is a victim to diabetes, he or she should work towards obtaining a recommended ideal body weight. This can be achieved by undergoing regular exercises. While you work on your body weight through workouts, you should make sure that these exercises are suitable for you and has significant effects on your body calories.

5 Super Foods for Men

1. Tomato Sauce. Men who eat a lot of tomatoes, tomato sauce, or pizza smothered with the stuff may be giving themselves a hedge against prostate cancer. So say researchers at Harvard, who studied the eating habits of more than 47,000 male health professionals. They found that men who ate tomato sauce two to four times per week had a 35 percent lower risk of developing prostate cancer than men who ate none. A carotenoid called lycopene, which tomatoes contain in abundance, appeared to be responsible. But scientists were puzzled: tomato juice didn't seem to have a protective effect. Other research showed why. For best absorption, lycopene should be cooked with some kind of fat. So pizza may be just what the doctor ordered.


2. Oysters. Myth has it that oysters are the food of love. Science may agree. Just two to three oysters deliver a full day's supply of zinc, a mineral critical for normal functioning of the male reproductive system. Scientists are divided over reports that sperm counts have declined over the last 50 years and that environmental factors are to blame. Nutritional deficiencies do seem to be the cause of certain cases of low testosterone. Getting adequate zinc is sometimes the answer (11 mg per day is recommended for men; more than 40 mg can pose risks). In one trial, 22 men with low testosterone levels and sperm counts were given zinc every day for 45 to 50 days. Testosterone levels and sperm counts rose.


3. Broccoli. A recent Harvard study finds that cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, may protect against bladder cancer. It's one of the most common cancers in this country, and affects two to three times as many men as women. Scientists analyzed the diets of nearly 50,000 men and discovered that those who ate five servings or more per week of cruciferous veggies were half as likely to develop bladder cancer over a ten-year period as men who rarely ate them. And broccoli and cabbage were singled out as the most protective foods.



4. Peanut Butter. If you want a healthy heart, spread your morning toast with peanut butter. Heart disease is the leading killer of men and women, but men fall victim at an earlier age. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University compared the cholesterol-lowering effect of the American Heart Association's Step II Diet with a higher-fat diet based on peanuts. The AHA plan included more carbohydrates. The peanut regimen was 36 percent fat. After 24 days both diets lowered "bad" LDL cholesterol. But the peanut plan also caused a drop in blood fats called triglycerides and did not decrease HDL, the "good" cholesterol. The AHA diet raised levels of triglycerides and lowered levels of HDL.


"Peanut butter is a little higher in fat," says Penny Kris-Etherton, Ph.D., the lead author of the Penn State study. "But it's the type that's good for you -- monounsaturated fat." Researchers have predicted that the peanut diet could reduce heart-disease risk even more than could the AHA diet. Just don't go nutty plastering on the tasty spread, since it is high in calories.


5. Watermelon. Until the age of 55, more men suffer from high blood pressure than do women. Research suggests that foods rich in potassium can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. The evidence is so convincing that the Food and Drug Administration recently allowed food labels to bear a health claim about the connection between potassium-rich foods and blood pressure. "There isn't a dietary requirement for potassium," says Kathleen Cappellano, nutrition-information manager at Tufts University in Boston. "But a good goal is about 2000 milligrams or more a day." Watermelon, a rich source of this mineral, has more potassium -- 664 mg -- in one large slice than the amount found in a banana or a cup of orange juice. So cut yourself another slice and enjoy the taste of summer.

7 Unhealthy Diet Foods

Diet soda:
Though it has fewer calories and less sugar than regular soda, diet soda may actually keep you from losing weight. New research suggests that dieters who choose to drink diet soda may actually add weight instead of losing it.


Smoothies: 
Although they can be packed with powerful nutritional benefits, smoothies can also carry loads of calories, fat, and sugar. Make sure your smoothie is filled with whole fruits and vegetables and low fat milk or milk alternatives. Skip smoothies laden with peanut butter, chocolate, or fruit syrups. Try these delicious and healthy smoothie recipes.


Artificial sweeteners:
Research is still being conducted on the safety of artificial sweeteners, but some research to date has shown that they can actually make you hungrier than natural sugar. Look for foods that contain natural sugar, or little or no sugar at all, for dieting success.


Light salad dressings:
Though they carry less fat and calories than full-fat dressings, light dressings are often high in sugar or high fructose corn syrup, which are added for flavor. Look for natural dressings that don’t list sugar as the first ingredient. Or make your own healthy salad dressings easily with these recipes.


Processed diet foods and snacks:
Switching to a frozen diet meal from the freezer seems like a good choice when trying to lose weight, but often these foods are high in sodium and sugar. Check the nutrition labels on the foods that you purchase. Look for a short ingredient list that relies on whole foods, rather than ingredients you don't recognize.


Flavored yogurt:
Yogurt is filled with calcium and protein that’s great for keeping your diet in check, but flavored yogurt can also carry loads of extra sugar and calories that sabotage your healthy eating. Try plain yogurt and adding in a small teaspoon of honey for sweetness.


Baked chips:
Although these are a good alternative to saturated fat-laden chips, baked chips usually have tons of sodium, sugar, and empty calories. If you’re in the mood for something crunchy, try snacking on a bag of fresh, raw veggies or plain rice cakes.

3 Blood-Pressure Signs You Should Never Ignore

Are you — or your doctor — shrugging off early warnings of brewing blood pressure trouble? The answer is yes if any of these “little” problems haven’t prompted you to take steps to lower your blood pressure:


It’s “high-normal.”
Thirty percent of American adults have slightly elevated blood pressure levels, between 121/81 and 139/89. But this gray zone is no small problem: It nearly doubles stroke risk. Researchers warn that many family doctors see pre-hypertension as a borderline condition that should be watched, rather than a warning that needs prompt attention.


It’s creeping up slowly
In one eye-opening study, women’s blood pressures inched upward 8 to 10 points each decade, and men’s by 4 to 5 points, between the ages of 35 and 64. That’s enough to land you in the pre-hypertensive or even the hypertensive category — and a good reason for you and your doctor to nip rising blood pressure in the bud.


It’s only high in the doctor’s office
So-called white-coat hypertension — elevated blood pressure readings in the doctor’s office but not other places (such as at a health fair, on a home monitor, or from a drugstore blood pressure machine) — isn’t a fluke you can ignore. In one Scottish study, people with this sign of raised blood pressure under stress showed early signs of stiff arteries and an overworked heart that could lead to higher blood pressure later on.

Twitter: Google search changes are 'bad for the internet'

Twitter has criticised Google after the internet giant implemented new features that are said to 'warp' search results. 


Google's new 'Search plus your world' feature, which combines Google search results with those from Google+, has been heavily criticised by Twitter's general counsel Alex Macgillivray, who is also a previous employee of Google.


Macgillivray tweeted from his account: 'Bad day for the Internet. Having been there, I can imagine the dissension at Google to search being warped this way.'


The changes, which are currently only active in the US, mean that logged-in Google+ users will primarily see results from the social network when they key in a search term.


Twitter has been angered by the fact that Google will show results for celebrity Google+ accounts but not for Facebook or Twitter ones.
A Twitter statement read: 'We’re concerned that, as a result of Google’s changes, finding this information will be much harder for everyone.
'We think that’s bad for people, publishers, news organisations and Twitter users.'


When speaking to Marketing Land, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt denied accusations that the new feature prioritised Plus over other social networks.


When launching the service, Google said: 'Search is still limited to a universe of web pages created publicly, mostly by people you’ve never met.


'Today, we’re changing that by bringing your world, rich with people and information, into search.


'We’re transforming Google into a search engine that understands not only content, but also people and relationships.


'We began this transformation with Social Search, and today we’re taking another big step in this direction.'


Industry expert Danny Sullivan criticised Google for the implementation of the new feature and said it was 'exactly the kind of thing that the antitrust people are screaming about'.


Google has responded to the criticism in a statement, saying: 'We are a bit surprised by Twitter's comments about Search plus Your World, because they chose not to renew their agreement with us last summer, and since then we have observed their rel=nofollow instructions. 
'We want to help you find the most relevant information from your friends and social connections, no matter what site it’s on. However, Google does not have access to fully crawl the content on some sites, so it’s not possible for us to surface all that information.'

Crossword Puzzles and How the Mind Works

Suddenly the answer comes to you when you’re not thinking about it. How does that work? It turns out, according to an article by Stephen Battersby in New Scientist, that this process is in fact indicative of how the mind solves all problems:


“Most of our mental machinations take place pre-consciously, with the results dropping into our conscious minds only after they have been decided elsewhere in the brain. Intuition plays a big role in solving a crossword, [psychologist Raymond] Nickerson observes. Indeed, sometimes your pre-conscious mind may be so quick that it produces the goods instantly. At other times, you might need to take a more methodical approach and consider possible solutions one by one, perhaps listing synonyms of a word in the clue. Even if your list doesn’t seem to make much sense, it might reflect the way your pre-conscious mind is homing in on the solution.”


Interestingly enough, this all also strongly relates to how the mind recognizes faces. Read How crossword puzzles mess with your mind.

Motivation and motivational training

See how games and other inspirational references and activities help Motivation and motivational training: 

Work and business-based training commonly concentrates on process, rules, theory, structure and logic, all of which tend to develop and use the left-side of the brain. However, modern successful organizations rely just as heavily on their people having well-developed 'soft' skills and attributes, such as self-motivation, confidence, initiative, empathy and creativity, which all tend to use the right-side of the brain. Using games and activities like juggling helps to unleash right-side brain skills, because these activities necessarily draw on a person's intuitive, spatial and 'feeling' capabilities - found in the the right-side of the brain.

Also, using activities and references that take people out of their normal work environment creates new opportunities for them to experience winning, achievement, team-working, learning and personal development, in ways that are often not possible in their usual work context. Experiencing these positive feelings is vital for the conscious and sub-conscious visualisation of success and achievement, essential for broadening people's horizons, raising their sights, setting new personal standards and goals, and increasing motivation. The use of role playing games and role play exercises is an especially effective motivational and visualisation technique, despite people's normal aversion to the practice.
Inspirational references, stories, quotes and examples also help the life coaching process.

Google’s Latest Algorithm Changes

Landing page quality matters more in image search

As you may know, Google has been putting out a monthly list of algorithm changes it has been making, as part of the company’s initiative to be “more transparent”. Google will never put out the entire secret sauce of its algorithm (without a court order, at least), so webmasters can at least be thankful that they’re being thrown a handful of bones in the form of a monthly list.
Have you seen effects from Google’s most recent algorithm changes? 

Webmasters were quick to point the finger at the old panda, but Google assures us that this is not the case. A spokesperson for the company told there have been no Panda updates in 2012 so far (though I’d expect one to launch before too long).

By the way, now that 2011 is over, do you think Panda has done a good job at cleaning up search results?

In the latest edition of the series, on the company’s Inside Search Blog, they highlight 21 changes made in the month of December. 

1) Image Search landing page quality signals

2) More relevant sitelinks

3) Soft 404 Detection

4) More accurate country-restricted searches

5) More rich snippets

6) Better infrastructure for autocomplete

7) Better spam detection in Image Search

8) Google Instant enhancements for Japanese.

9) More accurate byline dates

10) Live results for NFL and college football

11) Improved dataset for related queries

12) Related query improvements

13) Better lyrics results

14) Tweak to +1 button on results page

15) Better spell correction in Vietnamese

16) Upcoming events at venues

17) Improvements to image size signal

18) Improved Hebrew synonyms

19) Safer searching

20) Encrypted search available on new regional domains

21) Faster mobile browsing

The image search landing page quality signal change is quite interesting. We ran a great article on optimizing for image search by Michael Gray last year, and that’s full of tips to consider for this less talked about element of SEO, but the adjustments, as unspecific as they may be, reflect Google’s Panda-style focus on quality in search results. This, to me, is saying they’re applying same kind of thinking they do with regular web search to other parts of Google, more than ever before.

With regards to the “more rich snippets” item on the list, you may want to check out the series of videos Google recently put out on how to do rich snippets.

Top 10 Uses of Coconut

Top 10 uses of coconut?! 

1) Coconut milk for cooking, by adding it as the liquid ingredient in cooking dried gabi or taro leaves (a delicacy in Bicol region, Philippines, sometimes known us 'Bicol express' if fiery red labuyo peppers were added into it, so hot)


2) Coconut husk as floor polisher, is common in elementary grades across many villages across the world. Village people used to polished their floor or vessels with coconut husk . 


3) Coconut shells for fuel, is often used by villagers who didn't have electric or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) as source of fuel. Even today, when we ran out of gas or LPG, people still use the coconut shells as fuel. 


4) Young coconut meat for snacks, the 'buko' or young coconut with succulent soft whitey and fleshy meat is often the favorite snacks in the city and villages. I'm not kidding, it's a healthy snack. If you have UTI (urinary track infection) you can drink the cool, fresh coconut water for an immediate relief.


5) Coconut milk for hair spa or conditioner, is usually used by the villagers, especially those girls who have long strands of hair. It leaves a shiny look and fresh smell to the hairs, after you squeeze some juice of lime or lemon. You hair will never look dry.


6) Coconut leaves for roofing materials, are still used by farmers who cannot afford expensive roofing materials.


7) Coconut timber for lumber, is more affordable than other lumber materials.


8) Coconut ribs for brooms,are still used in the country, especially the street sweepers in the city. Every household have two or three sets of coconut brooms for cleaning purposes.


9) Matured coconut meat for copra used is used for cooking food. Most of south Asian cities use this matured coconut for making curry items.


10) Matured coconut meat for copra used in producing cooking oil, is affordable and cholesterol-free. You can make a homemade coconut oil by just letting it boil in the wok or frying pan until the liquid part became transparent.


Bonus: coconut heart (the sweet soft part of coconut timber at top part with young leaves) as viand (as in 'ubod ng niyog' ) like young artichoke.

Ranking The Famous Deaths of 2011

While most of us come and leave this world with little fanfare, there are those among us whose passing, especially if untimely, captures hearts and headlines around the world. The death of a celebrity, or prominent public figure, just does something to people. A death can stir up fond memories, extreme hatred, or obsessive curiosity.


Every year we’re shocked by some of the deaths we read about, and 2011 was no different. This year we saw the deaths of Steve Jobs, Osama bin Laden, Kim Jong-il, Andy Rooney, Jack Kevorkian, Betty Ford, Heavy D, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Amy Winehouse, Joe Frazier, among others.


If someone was to ask you to name the top 10 famous deaths of 2011… could you do it?It’s tougher than you might imagine.

Google homepage gets revamped

Google continues to revamp its products, and the latest in line to undergo a makeover is its homepage. Google has begun rolling out the new look of their search page. The upper horizontal bar is replaced by a Google logo in grey. Hover you cursor over it and click to find seven alternative services with an option to see eight more. Here again, we see Google is looking for a clutter-free design just like the neat look it chose to give its other products that underwent a facelift.

The rollout has been designed for an enhanced user experience, says a Google spokesperson. This would take users two steps to get to Images or News, but this is going to work in Google’s favour. Reportedly, Google is also being scrutinized for the way its own services are being displayed in search results. "A key question is whether Google is using its market power to steer users to its own web products or secondary services and discriminating against other websites with which it competes," Senators Herb Kohl and Mike Lee wrote.
The new design rollout is expected to reach only a limited number of users. Well, let’s see what else the Search giant has in store on the redesigning front.
