Alcohol With sun, the sea and good company an occasional cocktail fits perfectly. In addition that alcohol itself causes the accumulation of weight, refreshing cocktails that you drink in a deep shade or on the beach party are the right calorie bombs that hide the thousands of calories. As alcohol fits perfectly with some salty snacks, a combination of these two is popular but unhealthy habits with which you get a real pounds collector.

The largest flower in the world

The rafflesia arnoldi is the largest flower in the world. It weighs 7 kg (15 pounds) and grows only on the Sumatra and Borneo islands of Indonesia. Its petals grow to 1.6 ft (1 meter) long and 1 inch (2,5 cm) thick. There are 16 species of rafflesia, found in Sumatra, Malaysia, Philippines and Borneo. The species is named after the naturalist Sir Stamford Raffles, who founded the British colony of Singapore in 1819. Raffles discovered the parasitic plant with his friend Dr. Joseph Arnold during their travels in May 1818. The rafflesia arnoldi is named after the two. However fascinating and beautiful the rafflesia arnoldi may be, it is also called corpse flower and really reeks, the latter to attract flies for pollination. Of about 200,000 kinds of flowers in the world, the smallest is the duckweed, which can only be seen with a microscope.

Things you can do with a hairdryer

Hairdryer was for a long time really used only for drying our hair. But with passing time people have found other uses for this small home appliances. Small device that exists in almost every household around the world certainly is the hairdryer. They are found in various shapes and sizes, and besides the classic electric, there are devices for drying that work on batteries. However, since 1920. year, when he appeared on the market today there are those who seek new ways of its implementation. From the bathroom, hairdryer is easily moved to the kitchen! And so it can help with quick setup and fix the icing on the cake. Air Heat speeds up the process. Or if dough will not peel off, heating the bowl bottom with a hairdryer is of priceless help. Despite the various hazards that are presented, people use hair dryer to melt the freezer and refrigerator, and thawing frozen locks and windows during the winter, with peeling labels .... Not exactly the most ideal way to remove dust, but the army of fans is using a hairdryer to remove dust from computer screen and TVs with a little help of the hot air. Wet boots, shoes can take on a horrible smell if they do not dry in time. The help came, of course, with a hairdryer!

esla's tower - Symbol of Belgrade?

The capital city of Serbia could receive a symbol that would overshadow the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty, if the authorities hear the proposal of the Serbian Academy of Sciences, whose idea is building the Tesla tower. The president of this institution Raja?i? Peter, has found the proposal to a new neighborhood in Belgrade, made scientific development center Nikola Tesla, whose buildings would be built in the shape of the tower that would illuminate the city with lightnings. "Apart from scientific character, it would be the city attraction as the idea of making lightning. At certain times of day it would shone on the city, which gave a special challenge. You know what the Eiffel Tower means for Paris. Tesla's tower would be the same for Belgrade, " for 'Blic' says Raja?i?, adding that the Centre is conceived as a place to gather innovative people, cooperating with other scientific institutions and innovators. "We want to create a place where we can send the new products to the world, and not only that they come from the world to us. We still do not have the development center of its kind that would be associated with development centers in Europe and the world and with whom we could cooperate. We do not share information with the world, and it is very important for any development, "said Raja?i?. The first appearance of the building that would contain conference rooms and perhaps a hotel, is designed by the young designer Maria Popivoda, but Peter Raja?i? says it is just an idea that could change or upgrade the ideas of other architects and designers.

Men like women in red

It is known that the ladies in the red are attractive to men. A new study suggests that the reason is in men's nature and instincts. In fact, scientists say that the fact that men want to get closer to 'the woman in the red' can be explained by evolution. The researchers worked with two groups of men, and some of participants in a group was shown a photo of a woman in red and the other a woman in a blue dress. After they were told to write what would they like to ask the woman in the picture, it turned out that the issue of the first group, designed for a woman in a red, was a lot of fun and more provocative. In the second test than men were asked to place a chair next to their own, as they would put it in order to talk with the woman on the photography. The group, which saw a lady in red dress set a chair much closer than those who had the image of women in blue. 'The woman who has a red dress or skirt will be irresistible to man. Also, women who correspond with men over the Internet should put their photo on which they are dressed in red" says Nista Kaiser from the University of' Rochester in New York. The fact that men have a desire to be closer to the women in red, is explained by natural instincts. For example, the red color in the animal world means the period when the most fertile female, and female baboons or chimpanzees are obviously very flushed at the time of their ovulation.

nfrared light

Infrared light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes all known forms of radiation, including visible light, gamma rays, ultraviolet light, infrared light, X-rays, and radio waves. The frequency for a given type of radiation determines its placement on the electromagnetic spectrum. Because infrared light has a lower frequency than visible light and a higher frequency than radio waves, it falls between the two on the spectrum. We cant see or hear infrared, but if the signals are strong enough, we can feel infrared as heat. IR does not penetrate walls and so does not interfere with other devices in adjoining rooms. Remote controls and IrDA devices use infrared lightemitting diodes (LEDs) to emit infrared radiation which is focused by a plastic lens into a narrow beam. The beam is modulated, i.e. switched on and off, to encode the data. The receiver uses a silicon photodiode to convert the infrared radiation to an electric current. It responds only to the rapidly pulsing signal created by the transmitter, and filters out slowly changing infrared radiation from ambient light. Infrared communications are useful for indoor use in areas of high population density.

Genetically modified plants

For centuries, pants have been used as medicines, but now genetically modified plants can produce plastic, skin tissue agents and human blood proteins. Biotechnologists have created genetically modified (GM) plants that can grow plastic. They managed this by inserting 4 genes from a plastic-producing bacteria into varieties of oilseed rape and cress. Conventional plastics are made from oil and do not degrade easily, but the plant plastic is biodegradable. But it is expensive, at this costing five times more than petroleum-derived plastic. BTW, the word plastic comes from the Greek plastikos, meaning to form or to shape. Actually, man has been genetically modifying everything from food to dogs for many centuries, but in the past the only tool has been selective breeding. There are a variety of ways that scientists now modify plants and animals with genetic engineering techniques. In the meantime, before you grow your own plastic plants, take good care of your real plants. Clean them often, speak to them, and play them some nice music to make them grow healthier.

Getting A Divorce

Many people think the reason for the high percentage of divorce simply is because it is too easily granted. In some cultures, in olden times, you didnt even need to go to a court to get a divorce. A Pueblo Indian woman divorced her husband simply by leaving his moccasins on the doorstep. Turkish bridegrooms were once required to include in their wedding vows that they will provide their new wives with coffee. If they failed, it was grounds for divorce. In Islamic law in some countries a husband can divorce by simple repudiation which may be documented at a later stage.

Common topics for conversation

Whatever topic you choose make shure that a people are relaxed and happy to talk. Try to talk about what all people share: families, dreams, experiences etc. Here is the example with some of the topics that you can start for conversation: 1. Who is the most interesting person you ever met, and why? 2. Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

What is the most interesting thing you've you ever done? That opens the door to all sorts of funny and romantic stories. These examples should show you that interesting topics for conversation don't need to be complex, in fact, the more ordinary the better, because then people feel qualified to talk about the topic.

Green Tea as an ally against cancer

If you like the taste of green tea, it's time for this drink to become your daily pleasure. Studies have shown that the ancient Chinese drink has positive aspects, which helps in fighting cancer and Alzheimer's disease. In addition to a delicious hot or cold drink, in which we enjoy throughout the year, green tea is much healthier and more useful than we previously thought.

This drink originates from China where it was the favorite drink, and proved to have a very strong protective properties for the human body, and most importantly it its digestive properties are becoming more powerful and have more pronounced effect. Some compounds according to new research slowing the growth and development of tumor cells. Green tea has been for centuries a part of Chinese tradition, and its medicinal properties now have the scientific background. Although a healthy lifestyle such as healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables and fish and everyday activities are crucial in the fight against major diseases of our time, a cup of green tea per day is certainly a good habit.

The world's longest film

Danish film lasting 240 hours was announced as the longest film ever made, and it will be shown at the Festival of Modern Art in Helsinki. Science-fiction movie called "Modern Times Forever" which was filmed by Danish art group Superfleks, accelerated destruction of the building showing the seat of the Finnish Stora Enso paper factory in Helsinki. Moved into the future, after the disappearance of the human race, viewers will watch ten days of ruining buildings, destroyed due to the passage of time, environmental changes and precipitation. The IHME festival director PaulSolvents said that according to their information, it is the longest film in the world. Stora Enso headquarters factory, built by the project of the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, has become theme of the film, it is almost as monumental symbol of power. The film will be shown outdoors on a large screen area of 40 square meters, across the street from Stora Enso in Helsinki.

A hotel made of garbage

This week, in Madrid has opened a hotel that is entirely made of garbage, says BBC. Walls of Beach Garbage Hotel (coastal garbage) are covered by the tide of garbage caused along the European beaches, waste from landfills and objects that come from markets. The hotel, which has five rooms, was built by the German conceptual artist Ha Sult at the central Madrid square Plasa Kalao. This interesting project is a part of the International Tourism Fair to be held in the Spanish capital. Sult said that with this he wanted to draw a public attention to the enormous amount of waste generated by the mass tourism in Europe. "I built a Beach Garbage Hotel as our oceans become the largest landfill, "said the German artist, stating that 30 to 40 percent of the object which was built this temporary restaurant are collected on the beaches in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Pikeras Rosa, a spokesman for the project, said that the aim of this action is to show the reverse side of the tourism industry. "We wanted to show in what will be our resting places turn unless we clean the beaches, " she said and added that the most neglected coast are of southern Italy. The interior of this unusual hotel is decorated with a wide variety of items - cans, tires, old newspapers, socks, old cameras, footballs and love letters.

How can you detect a liar

You suspect that your spouse is cheating on you? You think that your boss is intentionally prolonging the longawaited promotion? You are convinced that your friend is avoiding you for some reason? These are the questions that are in our head from time to time, and because of that here are few tips that can help you discover if someone is lying to you. Dr. Paul Seager, a psychologist at the University of Lancaster, in his book Would I lie to you? he reveals how people lied and he broke some of the common myths about lying. Here are a few of his tips that can help you to easily identify liars in your environment, but also to stop believing in myths about identifying lies. EYE CONTACT The biggest myth about lying is that people who lie avoid looking directly into your eyes. Good liars actually look right in the eye longer and harder than someone who does not lie, because they know that people believe that liars avoid a direct eye contact. ANXIETY Another myth states that a person that is lying shows great discomfort, and is constantly fidgeting. The opposite is true. When someone has to invent a lie, he eliminates all the attention from the body and directs it to the brain. The result is an unusually calm liar, and much calmer person than it really should be in that situation. WATCHING UP AND RIGHT The third myth is that the person that is lying is usually fixed on some view point. This is not confirmed by any investigation. It is believed that when our view is going up or down and left or right, we actually dig in our memory and then we are telling the truth. However, our sentences are involving different types of memories that stimulate different parts of the brain. So Dr. Seager believes that it is a myth as well. TON OF THE VOICE When a person is lying, its voice becomes slightly higher. Scientists believe that a slightly higher voice than usual is a sign that those people are most likely lying. The problem is that it is very difficult to see. If it comes to people you know, then you can see if their voice changes the color when you ask awkward questions. If it is a bit high, it is most likely that it is the someone who really lies. BOMBING ISSUES When a some person lies, it must concentrate on the story, and this usually results in easy answers. If you want to catch a person in a lie, let him tell you what he intended, and then start with a series of questions on it. If that person lies, his answers will be quite vague and they will lack in details. RETELLING BACKWARDS This is a technique often used by police officers. They will ask someone to explain their version of a particular event. Then they will request that person to explain that again, but this time start from the end. If someone lies, it will be very difficult and it is most likely that a person will become confused. SPEED OF THE RESPONSE Experts call this latent period of reaction time, and this is the time it takes a person to answer the question. If someone is lying, it will invest a lot of effort to come up with a lie, and for that is needed some time. Then it comes

to a short pause between the set of questions and answers. VERBAL SIGNS If you think your partner is cheating on you, you should ask him a direct question: Are you cheating on me? It is important to listen carefully to the answer. If answer is: No, of course not, you can somewhat be sure that your partner is telling the truth. However, if the answer to your question is: How can you ask me that? How long we know each other? I am shocked at the moment... it will be suspicious. Namely, it is typical to avoid the true answer and the person who says it is most likely lying. BEHAVIOR CHANGE If you talk to someone who is relaxed and calm, you can determine what is its normal behavior, or what it is in a normal circumstances. When you set it a specific question and it suddenly change behavior, you can be sure that something suspicious is going on.

Women still lie better

You've probably wondered if other couples have more frequent and more interesting sex life than you or they are just talking about empty talks in order to hide their own dissatisfaction. We bring you a British study in which it revealed how men and women, cheating partners and what percent of them forgave that betrayal. One thing is for sure, fraud is as sweet for men as for women. 12 percent of respondents admitted having the emotional and sexual deception, while the 8 were having sex only. "People are not animals and they can control their emotions and make reasonable decisions, "says psychologist Gary Wood. The age in which women are most prone to fraud are twenties and sixties, which indicates that the crisis of middleaged men in fact is a myth because women do that as well. The survey showed that 16 percent of women ages from 50 to 59 years are not considered partner's cheating as a reason for a break up or a divorce. And older men are very gentle when it comes to cheating of their partner so that as many as 76 percent said 'goodbye' to their wives and then received them. A surprising fact is that 42 percent of surveyed men of all ages proved to forgive their partners affair. Men are the most faithful between the ages of 40 and 49 years because then they are caring about their children and families, and parental obligations to them are on the first place. A male friend or colleague is the most common choice for women who want adventures, and six of the ten confirmed that their partners were never revealed their affair. It seems that women still better lie because even 74 percent successfully hidden their betrayal. 37 percent of females aged 50 to 59 years admitted that their marriage ended because some affairs were discovered, and those aged 20 to 49 are not considered that as a sufficient cause for terminating the relationship. Only 8 percent of marriages broke up only because of man's or woman's cheating. Despite these data, however there is a reason to believe in marriage and a stable relationship. Most of the women, as many as 88 percent are faithful to their partners and they enjoy a harmonious marriage.

Guinness Book of Records

In 1954, the Guinness Book of Records was launched by twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter. They were born in August 1925 at Winchmore Hill, London, the sons of William Allan McWhirter, managing director of Associated Newspapers and Northcliffe Newspapers Group. Both went to the same college, both were outstanding track athletes, and both served in the Royal Naval in WWII. To date, more than 100 million copies of the 400 editions of Guinness Book of Records have been sold in some 40 languages, making it one of the worlds all-time best-selling copyright book. But the Guinness Book of Records also holds the record for being the book most often stolen from public libraries. When asked what the most ridiculous thing is that had to be verified as a world record, Norris replied: I interviewed Miss Universe while we stood on the chest of a man lying on a bed of nails. She was wearing stilettos, but I dont think it made much difference to him. That was in New York City and we were being filmed by about six or seven TV channels.

50 new Earth-like planets

About 50 new planets are discovered by astronomers from Europe. They are behind the planets of our solar system. Six of them remind of Earth very much. The largest planet in this set of 50 planets that European astronomers have found is the planet labeled as HD 85512 and it is by weight three times heavier than Earth, and it is about 36 light years far from us and it's located in the constellation Vela. Otherwise this is just one of 50 new planets found in the solar environment system. Scientists and astronomers believe that among these 50 new planets discovered at least 16 planets have water, and assume that they have a life on them. Discovery of the HD 85512 b planet suggests that the possibility of other planet similar to Earth where life is possible and that there are some stars that are similar to our Sun, said astronomer Michael Mejor the universality in Geneva. Some of these planets have the same mass as Earth, while others are such as 10 times more heavier, and they are especially interesting to astronomers because they believe that the development of life on them was feasible and easier than on our planet Earth.

The Big Ben is leaning

One of the main features of London, Big Ben, has lined to such an extent that the slope can be observed with are own eyes, as the agency reported recently. This 96 meter high clock tower, located at Westminster Palace is now tilted about two feet on the northwest side, as experts say. John Burland, Professor from Imperial College said that you can see the slope, if you stand near the parliament building. He saw the tourists take pictures and comment on the slope and see that they wonder why the tower linked little to the right. The tower began leaning intensively since 2003. year, every year moving about 0.9 millimeters, but these levels still are unsure of bending. Burland said that if you start bending quickly, something should be done, but he think nothing should be done in next few years. The reason for the distortion of the tower are construction works, which were made under the tower. There were more of these works - the construction of sewers, the construction of the subway District Lane and construction of underground parking in the early 70's of last century. Leaning of Big Ben has resulted in cracking of walls and ceilings in the parliament, including the minister's lap. The construction of this clock tower was finished in 1858.

oogle predicts economic trends

A proof is that the Internet is a very useful thing and it can serve even in making a revolution, according to the Arab Spring and it's discovered another very important function, which is predicting economic trends! Researchers in England Bank, Central Bank of the United Kingdom, found that Internet-specific search terms can suggest on how to move unemployment and property prices in the future. They have for several years comparing the frequency of certain words such as real estate agency, mortgage, unemployment in internet-searchers with the actual changes that were then followed in property prices and it turned out that the data can be very much useful in the design of economic policy. The study authors claim that data on the frequency of terms in the Internet-tests can predict changes in the level of unemployment in the UK. The most striking result of this study was given by the term real estate agency, which proved to be quite faithfully follow changes in the average house price in the last eight years. The researchers said that according to Google's database it was possible to predict the increase in unemployment since 2008. and falling real estate values. they also said that, for example, search words LCD TV or refrigerator gives much more immediate impression of what is happening in the economy rather than waiting for official information. Information on the Internet-search is treated as an economic indicator that these economists argue that, with all faults, very timely, because they are available on a daily basis, and to potentially cover a large sample of respondents. Unlike traditional research methods, in which the firms or individuals required to respond to the questionnaire, the information collected here as a byproduct of normal activities - surfing the World Wide Web. In this way they avoided situations in which the respondent does not wish to respond or deliberately give false answers.

Say NO to technology before bedtime

Scientist's research of American institutions of the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) found that dependence on television, mobile phones and computers can be very harmful for health. It can affect sleep deprivation and lack of sleep, the consequences of which adversely affect their performance, mood, family relationships, the driving habits, sex life and general health of the individual. Watching television, playing video games, checking e-mail and messaging computer or mobile just before the bedtime significantly affect the body's clock and the habit of leaving the individual at rest. Unfortunately, mobile, and computers in many ways facilitate the manner and pace of life, frequently abused. Millions of Americans because of thr use of technology late at night, immediately before bedtime, the next day they feel so tired and they are bad at work, says Russell Rosenberg, vice president of NSF's based in Washington. Charles Czeisler, a scientist with the Harvard Medical School and head of the Hospital for Gynecology in Boston, claims that exposure to artificial light just before bedtime increases the metabolism and reduces the release of melatonin, a hormone responsible for regulating sleep. In the room we play technology, which we interfere with normal sleep and rest, so many people sleeping less than they should, he said. Nearly 95 participants in a study conducted in NSF responded that immediately before going to bed they are using some kind of gadget or TV, and two-thirds admitted that during the week, they are not sleeping enough. Baby Boom generation, that is people aged 46 to 64 years are the biggest consumers of television instead of lullabies, a young person before going to bed playing video games. As expected, the most vulnerable group are teenagers (13 to 18) - as much as 22 percent of them admitted that they are constantly sleepy, compared to nine percent of baby boomers. At night they sleep an average of an hour to an hour and a half less than their peers slept a hundred years ago, which means that they lose sleep about 50 hours per month, it found Czeisler, adding that lack of sleep is generally negatively affect the performance, mood, family relationships, driving habits, sex life and overall health.

Indestructible Gold

It is not always understood why is Gold also simply beautiful to look at. It is extremely malleable and pliable. A oneounce piece of gold can be beaten down to 5 micrometers thick that is 1/10 the diameter of a human hair and laid out into 50 miles of wire. It can also be made so thin that it becomes a translucent sheet; in fact, astronauts visors are covered in a thin gold film to protect their eyes from glare. Gold also has anti-inflammatory and other medicinal properties. Ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia (modern-day Iran and Iraq) were the first, at around 5000 BC (some sources indicate 4000 BC), to use gold for ornaments. The Egyptians would soon fall in love with the precious metal too. But gold was mostly used for personal adornment; the first gold coins for trade were issued by Egyptian pharaohs only at around 2700 BC. Large scale gold coinage for the monetary purpose was introduced in by King Croesus during his reign (560 546 BC) of Lydia. Croesus became one of the wealthiest persons ever. By firing neutrons into a nucleus to change an atom, gold can be produced from cheap metals. However, the nuclear process costs far more than mining gold.

Inventing a paperclip

In 1901, Johann Vaaler patented his paper clip, but there already were similar designs on the books. William Middlebrook of Waterbury, Connecticut patented his design in 1899. Cornelius Brosnan of Springfield, Massachusetts patented his Konaclip in 1900. Well, it is thought to be Johann Vaaler. Drawings of his design date to early 1899, but since Norway had no patent law at the time he had to seek patent rights in Germany and the US in the following years. Johann Vaaler was born on 15 March 1866 in Aurskog, Norway. Known as an innovator in his youth, he graduated in electronics, science and mathematics. He was employed by the owner of an invention office when he invented the paper clip in 1899. Several designs followed the original. Only a few remain, such as the Ideal, NonSkid, Owl and Gem. The first double-oval clip, the Gem, was launched in early-1900 by Gem Manufacturing Ltd of England. The paper clip remains as one of the most-used items of all time.

Dreams and Nightmares

Most of people spend six years or more of their lifetime dreaming. Dream is a semi-conscious state where we have absolutely no control over our thoughts and expressions. It is proven that all of us dream at least twice or more in our sleep though we may not remember when we get up.
