When Did Human firST cooK fooD n wHy?


Human probably used fire for warmth and protection before anyone ever thought of cooking. Tribes may have kept campfires through the night and if you leave that deer carcass close to the embers to protect it from
hyenas,you might wake up to find the scorched end is much easier to chew. It isn't clear exactly when the 1st occurred ,but it was at least 100,000 years ago.

Cooking generally increase the availability of nutrients in food, and tribes that cooked would have had an immediate advantage. Heat also destroys certain toxins to make some otherwise poisonous plants edible. These may have initially been burnt as fuel and the roasted tubers found and eaten by a curious ancestor the next morning.

Can you mix human And animAl DNA?


Its eminently possible. Although different animals normally have different genes and arrangements of chromosomes,the molecules or DNA and RNA are common to all living things.

Cell biologists can inserts DNA from 1 organism into the chromosomes of another using a variety of techniques , including viral vectors and physically injecting into the cell nucleus.

When animal embryos are injected with whole human stem cells. DNA from 1 organism has been shown to cross into the cells of the other. This has important repercussions for the way disease such as AIDS and flu are studied, especially how they emerge and spread.

The Easy Way tO eaT n Drink LesS...

Want to curb your drinking and eating habits? It might be easier that you think. Researchers Brian Wansink an Koert Van Ittersum from Cornell University asked students to pour a single shot of whiskey from a full bottle into a glass.
Those given a short, wide glass poured, on average , 30 per cent larger shots that those given a taller , narrower glass.
It would appear that people used the depth of the liquid as an indicator of the amount of liquid in the glass,not noticing , or not allowing for fact, that one glass was far wider that the other.
The researchers then repeated the experiment with experienced bartenders and discovered that they too poured, on average, 20 per cent larger shots into the short ,wide glass. If you want to reduce the amount you're drinking, then you'd be well advised to stay away from short, wide glasses and stick to tall narrow ones.
Dieting can also quick and painless. Placing a mirror in front of people when they are presented with different food options results in a remarkable 32 per cent reduction in their consumption of unhealthy food.
It seems that seeing their own reflection makes them more aware of the body, and more likely to eat food that is good for them.

Why it's better to give thAn reCieve...


Research shows that people become much happier after even the smallest acts of kindness. In an innovavtive study conducted by Elizabeth Dunn from the University of British Coloumbia, participants were given $20 and asked to spend the money thet evening. They were ramdomly assigned to one of two groups. One group was instructed to spend the money on themselves ( perhaps treating themselves to a self-indulgents present) while the second group was asked to spend their unexpected windfall on someone else( perhaps by purchasing a present for a friends or family member). Participants who spent the money on their family and friends ended up feeling sinificantly happier than those who treated themselves to luxury gifts.

Of course, you might argue that you really don't have enough money to donate to others. However, once again, help is at hand. Happiness researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky at the University of California, Riverside,arranged for a group of participants to perform five non-financial acts of kindness each week for six weeks. These were simple things , such as writing a 'thank you' note, giving blood, or helping out a friend. Some of the participants performed one of the acts each day, while other carried out all five on the same day.

Those who performed their kind acts each day showed a small increase in happiness at the end of the experiment. However, those that carried out all their acts of kindness on just one day each week increased their happiness by an incredible 40 per cent.

Hidding with color...

Hop! A green grasshopper shoots up out of the grass. It sails through the air and lands in the grass again. You can't see it before it jumps. And you can't see it after it comes down. Its green color helps it hide in the green grass.


An animal is hard to see if it is same color as the ground,rocks, or plants around it. A green caterpillar on a green leaf is hard to see, and so is a brown horned toad on brown sand. The caterpillar's color helps it hide from birds while it is eating. The horned toad's color helps it hide from birds and snakes while it looks for insects to eat.


The spots and strips that many animals have on their bodies help them hide. A giraffe's body is pale orange or white , with reddish-brown spots. When the giraffe walks among trees it seems to disappear. Its spotted body looks like spots of sunlight and shadow among the leaves.


A tiger's coat is orange-brown with black stripes. When the tiger lies in a field of brown grass striped with sun and shadow, it can't be seen. When another animal comes near enough, the tiger can jump out of hiding at it.

The color and designs on animal's body he;p it hide so it can get food or so it can keep from becoming food!

About Our Pimples


Do not be alarmed if pimples appear in the body since the organism has eliminate the poisons accumulated in it due to a faulty way of eating and drinking. If these strange substances are not excreted , the consequences would be fatal. When the body discharges the poison in the form of pimples, be happy for the body is having a general clean-up.

Treatment: Immediately adopt a vegetarian diet to help the organism eliminate its morbid loan. Wash the pimples frequently with horsetail or warm water. Apply warm flax compress to help the pimple ripen. You can also apply warm mud compress mixed with chopped onions and little honey. Everytime a compress is taken, wash the affected part tepid horsetail water.

Compress of coagulated milk also gives excellent results to absorbs poison and help the skin its eliminative function.

Flour compress , mashed with honey and water, placed on the pimples gives marvelous results to promote ripening and absorbs poison.

We insistently advice three cold 'Bath restorers' from 20 to 30 minutes everday and one alternative warm and cold ' Bath restorers' once a week to cleanse the body of impurities.

The pasture of the sea



Billions and billions of tiny plants and animals live in the ocean. Most of them are so small they can be seen only with a microscope.

These tiny plants aren't like plants you have seen. Some look like square of jelly fastened together in chains. Some look like little balls. Some are like tiny anchors with threads hanging from them.

The tiny animals are strange looking, too. Some look like bells. Some look like light bulbs with six wiggly legs. Some of them are just little round balls. Many of these animals are babies of bigger animals, such as jellyfish.

All these animals and plants float in the upper part of the ocean. They are called plankton. Plankton is the most important food in the sea. It is often called the pasture of the sea.

Many kinds of baby fish eat plankton. So do many grown fish. So do many other sea animals. If suddenly there were no plankton,all these animals would die. And all the animals that eat them for food would then die. Soon there wouldn't be a single living things in any of the oceans.

That's why plankton is the most important food in the sea.









Headache......


Look for the cause first since a headache is almost always a symptom of some other infirmities or is an alarm signal for man to be guard. If the digestive system does not function well, the elimination of waste is scarce resulting in headache. Constipated persons suffer from such headache.

Treatment: Intestinal wash through enema with water of mallow , horsetail or camomile. Drink laxative teas , but with fruit juice and water lemon juice. In this way, success will be surprising.

General vapor bath should be done weekly. The local vapor on the head with leaves of mint, eucalyptus or camomile flower may be applied twice a day . Apply friction on the painful part with onion juice mixed with lemon.

Apply our new cold "Bath restorer" from 20 to 30 minutes to decongest the cerebrum ; do this twice a day. Cold compresses on the abdomen, renewing them every 15 to 20 minutes. At night, sleep with cold compress on the abdomen.

Respiratory exercises, produce immediate comfort. Keep the windows open foe air circulation.

The Papaya...whaT speciaL about it....^^


This fruit is rich in mineral salts and vitamins ( A,B,C and D) and has very curative properties in slow and difficult digestion , weakness of stomach ,jaundice, paleness,diabetes,asthma,coughs coming from lungs and pulmonary tuberculosis. If the tubercular patients eats this fruit for a long time, there is a possibility that the lung injuries will heal.

If a cut is made on the green fruit or leaves a milky substance is obtained which if taken in fresh is effective vermifuge. To expel intestinal worms give a dose of 8 to 15 grams of this juice for children from 2 to 7 years old and 15 to 20 grams of those older. One hour later, administer 10 to 15 grams of ricino oil as purgative.

Tea from few leaves of this plant has curative effect on dyspepsia and cardiac ailments. It is prepared by cooking the dries leaves. Ground seeds are good remedy against worms, gastric flatulency ,belch and in regulating menstruation. Eating 10 to 12 fresh seeds will cure ailments of the liver and facilitates the good secretion of the bile.

CAn a CaT be Alive And deaD at The same Time.....


Physicists have a saying : anyone who isn't confused by quantum theory doesn't understand it. And in 1935, the Austrian physicists Erwin Schrodinger devised a thought experiment to show just how weird it is........!!
Common sense says that atoms have clear-cut properties, but according to quantum theory,they exist in all their possible states at the same time...

Physicists initially hoped these bizarre mixed states were only relevant to subatomic world, but schrodinger showed it wasn't so simple. He imagined a cat being put in a box along with device that releases poison if it detects atoms undergoing radioactive decay.

According to quantum theory, these atoms will exits in two states-decayed and undecayed at the same time. But because the poison mechanism respons to the atoms, their bizarre mix of states won't just be relevant to quantum world; it also affect the cat,which will thus also be a mixture of poisoned and not poisoned. So why don't we ever see 'undead' cats?

Physicits wrestled with this for years and now think they have the answer,says Professor Jim Al-khalili of Surrey University .... " It's called ' Decoherence" , and it's kind of leaking away of the quantum weirdness as soon as a quantum object,like an atom, interacts with outside world.

''Schrodinger's cat is thus always either alive or dead because the radioactive atom takes one definite states when ir inteacts with detector in the box.

This isn't just an idea, though; in 1996, scientists in France measured decoherence taking place with atoms in mixed states in a real-life experiment.

How Do yoU knoW anYone elSe haS a ConscioUs MinD....

It's obvious they just act the right way giving sensible answer to reasonable questions , laughing at your jokes , buying a round of drinks. But how do you really know? What's to say they aren't just machines , programmed to respond in the right way? In 1950 the pioneering British computer scientist Alan Turing argued that such a machine might one day be possible with its artificial intelligence (AI) being impossible to tell apart from the real thing.

It's scary thought , but so far there's no immediate worry about chatting up in a tin box. During the 1980s, there was much excitement over so called expert systems , which tried to give computers human-like expertise in tasks like medical diagnosis. In practice, the computers proved far less flexible than human experts spawning the 'computers says no' syndrome.
But according to British Al researcher Steve Grand, big advances may be out to come from a better understanding of how the brains works. "The brain is the only working example of an intelligent system we have, " he says.

One of the most promising developments is neural computing ,where conventional computers are programmed to act like net works to brain cells. This has allowed computers to be trained to do things like driving vehicles, without being laboriously programmed. Even so, it's pretty clear they aren't really thinking so far , at least.

Are wE in Control oF ouR acTions



We'd all like to think we dictate the things we do by exercising our conscious will, but do we? For centuries philosophers have debated free will, arguing over its role in establishing morals and laws. But then neuroscientists and psychologists got in on the act with disturbing results.

By studying brain activity in people performing simple tasks, they have found evidence that free will may just be a comforting illusion.
In a series of experiments performed in the 1970s, the American neurologist Dr. Benjamin Libet found that even bran activity associated with something as simple as finger movements appears over half a second before the subjects become conscious of 'Deciding' to act.
More recently , sociologist Professor Daniel Wegar of Harvard University has shown our brains can create illusion of having taken a conscious decision to do something over which we actually exercised no control. For example, people who watch another person's arms moving don't feel the arms belong to them.
But then they watch again, while also listening to a recording that predict each movement before they see it, they then feel that these arms are under their control because thay know what to expect from 'theirs' arms

What was good In ManGO...


The Mango which is found everywhere in philippines and all other tropical countries contains Vitamins B and C aside from important mineral salts. It is very nutritious and curative, it can be considered as a very special fruits, even better than lemon for curing scurvy , disease of the gums , suppurations in the mouth , tooth ache and loose of teeth.


Whoever eats this fruits frequently , also purifies the blood , prevents the accumulations of mucous in the throat and respiratory tract , counteracts all kind of catarrhs , hoarseness , cough , diseases of the bronchial tubes , pain and debility of the stomach , intestinal laziness and fevers.

Tea made by boilinh the leaves of the mango trees , prepared as a concoction , counteracts the aforementioned bronchitis and diseases of the stomach. The same concoction is used for gargles and compresses to alleviate falls , bumps and bruises. Tea obtanied from the seed of this fruits , prepared as a concoction combats intestinal worms and parasites.

With the use of honey , very healthful syrup can be prepared from this fruits.

Somewhere in saBAh...^^


Hhmm.....This is a insects that i never saw in my life....this insects is something like bugs but that is not a bug...i don't know what is it...haha...The body as I know is like a pieces of paper but the point is the colour...hahaha...
...And the body of this insects also like someone drawing..ya is true....the body is like a paper....normally we see a lot of the insects there body is hard right but this one is differents that other...
I found this insects in some place of the sabah ( Tambunan)...
The day that i was going to the tambunan is the day of festival (Keaamatan day)....
