Are you drinking coffee so much?


An after-dinner espresso may taste great, but it can keep you up. Drinking the equivalent of a double espresso 3 hours before bedtime shifts the clock back by an average of 40 minutes.Although caffeine’s effects on alertness and sleep are well known, researchers weren't sure how it affects the circadian clock in humans. The researchers also found that human cells in the lab exposed to caffeine lengthened their circadian clocks, an effect that the researchers linked to molecules known to play a role in cells’ 24-hour rhythms. The work also suggests that drinking coffee at the right time can help people adjust more quickly to jet lag, which is due to the body’s clock being out of sync with the local time zone.   Other research has shown that caffeine affects the circadian clock in animals such as fruit flies.

Hydrating Strawberry Facial


What you need: 10 fresh strawberries; ¼ cup bee pollen (sold at health-food stores); 3 tablespoons raw honey (health-food stores); 1 tablespoon olive oil mayonnaise; and a few drops of lavender essential oil.
How it works: Strawberries not only are rich in vitamin C but also contain alpha hydroxy acids, which exfoliate the skin. The grainy texture of the bee-pollen granules helps to exfoliate, too, allowing the honey, a potent humectant, to better penetrate the skin’s surface. Olive oil moisturizes and is infused with antioxidants; mayonnaise softens the skin while giving the whole shebang a rich, creamy texture. The lavender? Pure aromatherapy.
Do it yourself: Combine all the ingredients. Apply to the face, avoiding the eye area. Relax for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Benefits of Walking

People walking


-It strengthens your heart

Regular walking has been shown to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. It lowers levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing levels of HDL (good) cholesterol and keeps blood pressure in check. 

 -It lowers disease risk

A study in the British Medical Journal showed taking more steps every day can help ward off diabetes. And according to the charity Walking For Health, regular exercise such as walking could reduce risk by up to 60 per cent. Those of us who are active have around a 20 per cent lower risk of developing cancer of the colon, breast and womb than those least active.

 -It keeps weight in check

-It can help prevent dementia

Dementia affects one in 14 people over 65 and one in six over 80. We know being active has a protective effect on brain function and regular exercise reduces dementia risk by up to 40 per cent. And, according to Age UK, older people who walk six miles or more per week could avoid brain shrinkage and so preserve memory as the years pass.

-It tones your legs, bum – and tum

A good walk can help strengthen and shape your legs, giving great definition to calves, quads, hamstrings and lifting your glutes (buttock muscles) – especially if you add hills. But if you really pay attention to your posture as you walk, it can tone your abs and whittle your waist, too.

- It boosts your vitamin D levels

-It gives you energy

It might seem like a paradox (and the last thing you might feel like) but a brisk walk is one of the best natural energizers around. It boosts circulation and increases oxygen supply to each and every cell in your body, helping you to feel more alert and alive.

- It makes you happy...

Some Things You Didn't Know About Pixar

1. Pixar Started Under George Lucas

Pixar began under the wing of George Lucas as part of the computer division of Lucasfilm in 1979. At that time the company was known as the Graphics Group.

2. The Origin of the Pixar Logo Is a Lamp

Pixar's very first animated short was "Luxo Jr." (1986), produced by John Lasseter after he left Industrial Light and Magic. The short film, about two desk lamps and a small rubber ball, became the company's signature logo (you know, the intro before every Pixar film of the jumping lamp).

3. Steve Jobs Once Bought Pixar

Steve Jobs was the co-founder and CEO of Pixar. Jobs bought the Graphics Group from Lucasfilm in 1986 for $10 million, $5 million of which he gave to the company as capital.

4. Steve Jobs Also Saved Pixar

In fact, Jobs even saved Pixar from folding under at one point by investing more money into it. This led him to eventually owning the entire company for a total investment of $50 million.

5. Pixar Has Won (Many) Awards

Pixar has won 27 Academy Awards, seven Golden Globe Awards, and eleven Grammy Awards.

6. Pixar Made a Computer

Before Pixar had a fully functioning animation department the functioned as a high-end computer hardware company, with their main product being the Pixar Image Computer. This computer helped begin Pixar's relationship with Walt Disney Studios, who was one of the first buyers of the computer. The studio used the system to computerize the ink and paint process of their traditionally animated films.

7. Pixar Made a Major Deal With Disney

When Pixar made a $26 million deal with Disney in 1991 to produce three CGI feature films (the first of which became "Toy Story"), Pixar was still struggling financially and had lost 30 employees including their president.

8. The Critics Helped Save Pixar, Too

It was word from New York critics about the destined success of "Toy Story" that gave Jobs hope for the company.

9. In the Early Days, Pixar Hired Lots of College Grads

Most of Pixar's animators in their early feature film days were college graduates. Since 2D animation was still dominant at the time and Pixar's studio was located in San Francisco, nearly six hours away from the animator industry in Los Angeles, it was difficult to hire professional animators. Thus fresh college grads were the top choice.

10. 'Toy Story 2' Was Almost Direct-to-Video

"Toy Story 2" was originally planned as a direct-to-video movie . Lasseter wasn't very pleased with the material at the time so he had the Pixar team start over from scratch and, voila! we got the much-loved sequel to the talking toys adventure.

11. The Animators Pull Double Duty

Animators are cast just like actors! Some animators specialize in comedy, some in emotional scenes, and others in drama. Pixar casts animators based on their sensibilities so each character is brought to life as realistically as possible. Just look at how many different emotions this single shot from "Finding Nemo" had to depict (evil, scared, and of course the always-jolly Dory).

Some Errors in Qur'an

Sura:86:6-7
Sahih International
He was created from a fluid, ejected,Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
Error
This is an error and totally wrong. Sperm or even semen does not come from between backbone and the ribs. How is it possible that the creator who knows it all does not know where semen comes from. This one error is enough to prove that it was Muhammad making these Quran Ayas and are not revelations from any God.
---
Sura: 16:69  
Sahih International
Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]. There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.
Error
 This is another big error from all knowing God. Honeybees do not eat fruits
Sura:51:49
 Sahih International
And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.
Error
This is another error. Everything is not in pairs.

Many bacteria, protists, fungi, and plants reproduce asexually.
Sura:2:29
 It is He Who (prepared the earth for your life before He gave you life, and) created all that is in the world for you (in order to create you - the human species - and make the earth suitable for your life); then He directed (His Knowledge, Will, Power, and Favor) to the heaven and formed it into seven heavens. He has full knowledge of everything. 
Error:
This is a colossal error. Totally wrong sequence, earth was created way after universe was created. It is so well known to everybody in 21st century that I don't think any source is required.
Sura:5:116
 And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?
Error
Error again. Mary was never worshipped by Christians as part of the Trinity. It's the holy ghost.

How to make Lemon Soap in home?

 
Supplies:

***1 1/2 cups Goats Milk Soap Base or Shea Butter Soap Base, cubed

***4-6 drops Lemon Essential Oil

***Dried Lemon zest of 3-4 lemons


Step one: Cut soap into cubes and microwave in 30 second intervals (I like to use a large Pyrex measuring cup to melt the soap in). This recipe makes 3 bars of soap and I used about 15 cubes of goat’s milk soap base.
Step two: Melt soap for about a minute. Add another 15-30 seconds if it’s not completely melted.
Step three: Once soap cubes have liquified add a few drops of the lemon essential oil and the lemon zest; stir well.
Step four: Pour into soap molds and allow to harden for at least one hour. Press mold to release soap.

Some reasons why 2Pac is alive

1. 2Pac now calls himself Makaveli... Machiavelli was an Italian war strategist who advocated faking one's death to fool their enemies... 2Pac was a fan of his and had read his books several times. Perhaps 2Pac is taking his advice...
2. 2Pac was cremated the day after he died... Since when does some one get cremated the day after a murder? There was no autopsy. Plus, no one can ask to dig up his grave like they wanted to do with Elvis and like they did with Abraham Lincoln. 
3. 2Pac has completed 2 movies, 3 LP's, and keeps on appearing on new artist's albums...Why would he do so much at one time??? With so many people upset about 2Pac's death, literally anything connected with him is bound to net a whole lot of cash...
4. In a 1994 interview with Tupac, he said before he went to prison that if he was ever sent to prison when he came out he would be worse than before. He was. He also said when he came out it would be like he was reborn. Was he speaking literally? He already died and he was worse when he came out of jail, plus Tupac switched his rapping name from 2Pac to Makaveli, that could be considered a rebirth, all that's left is a physical rebirth (A sighting) and so far he's already completed more than half of this prophecy. 
5. The cover of 2Pac's latest album, Makaveli has 2Pac looking like Jesus Christ... Could he be planning a resurrection?
6. The producer on the new Makaveli album is simply "SIMON." This was the apostle who helped Jesus carry the cross and one of the first to witness his resurrection. Could Suge be SIMON?
7. 2Pac's vehicle got shot 12 times and Suge didn't get hit once.. He was 'grazed' by a bullet.. Why did 2Pac get shot all those times and Suge not get hit?
8. The white Cadillac containing the assailants was never found... How could this be when Vegas is in the middle of a desert?

Some Tips For Freestyle Swimming

A man swimming freestyle
-Keep your head in line with your trunk and look straight down toward the bottom of the pool. Don’t look forward because otherwise you will have the tendency to lift your head, which will in turn cause your hips and legs to drop and you will have to kick harder to keep them up.
-Learn how to press your buoy, which has the benefit of keeping your hips and legs up without much effort. This freestyle swimming technique requires you to apply downward pressure on your head and chest. As your lungs are filled with air and very buoyant, pressing down your upper body causes the lower body to rise up through a lever effect. You then don’t need to kick that hard anymore.
-Don’t lift your head just before breathing. This common error also causes your hips and legs to drop. Rather roll on your side and let your head roll a little bit further until your mouth clears the water. It should feel like your head was resting sideways on a pillow made of water.
-Try to swim more on your sides rather than flat on your stomach and chest. Roll from side to side with each arm stroke. This allows you to engage the larger back muscles in addition to the shoulder muscles and improves your propulsion.
-To obtain an effective freestyle swimming technique you need to exhale continuously in the water while your face is submerged. There simply isn’t enough time to both inhale and exhale on the side during a breathing arm recovery. This also lets you relax more in the water.
-Learn how to swim with a so-called high elbow. This freestyle swimming technique consists in flexing your arm and keeping your elbow high in the water during the under water arm pull so that your forearm is facing backward rather than downward for as long as possible, which improves propulsion.
-While recovering your arm forward don’t extend it completely above water before letting it drop in the water because it increases drag and can also lead to swimmer’s shoulder over time. It is better to enter the water with your hand shortly after it has passed your head and then to extend the arm forward under water.

-Save energy by using a relaxed two-beat kick for middle and long distance swimming. This means that you kick at the same pace as you stroke with your arms.
-Make sure your palm is parallel to the water surface while it extends forward under water during the arm recovery. A common mistake freestyle swimmers make is to angle their palm upward at the end of the recovery. In that case they are in fact pushing water forward and slowing themselves down.

-In the beginning, a nose clip can be useful because it keeps water out of your nose and so this is one less thing to worry about and you can relax more. Once your technique and coordination has improved later on you will be able to get rid of the nose clip without too much effort. Personally I used a nose clip for a year while learning the freestyle stroke before getting rid of it
