 FACING FEARS UPFRONT

  Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try it at all? Or has a fear of failure meant that, subconsciously, you undermined your own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger failure?
Many of us have probably experienced this at one time or another. The fear of failing can be immobilizing – it can cause us to do nothing, and therefore resist moving forward. But when we allow fear to stop our forward progress in life, we're likely to miss some great opportunities along the way.

CAUSES OF FEAR

   To find the causes of fear of failure, we first need to understand what "failure" actually means.
We all have different definitions of failure, simply because we all have different benchmarks, values, and belief systems. A failure to one person might simply be a great learning experience for someone else.
Many of us are afraid of failing, at least some of the time. But fear of failure (also called "atychiphobia") is when we allow that fear to stop us doing the things that can move us forward to achieve our goals.
Fear of failure can be linked to many causes. For instance, having critical or unsupportive parents is a cause for some people. Because they were routinely undermined or humiliated in childhood, they carry those negative feelings into adulthood.
Experiencing a traumatic event at some point in your life can also be a cause. For example, say that several years ago you gave an important presentation in front of a large group, and you did very poorly. The experience might have been so terrible that you developed a fear of failure about other things. And you carry that fear even now, years later.

 Signs of Fear of Failure

    You might experience some of these symptoms if you have a fear of failure:

• A reluctance to try new things or get involved in challenging projects.
• Self-sabotage - for example, procrastination, excessive anxiety, or a failure to follow through with goals.
• Low self-esteem or self-confidence – Commonly using negative statements such as "I'll never be good enough to get that promotion," or "I'm not smart enough to get on that team."
• Perfectionism – A willingness to try only those things that you know you'll finish perfectly and successfully. 

"Failure" – A Matter of Perspective

 It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. People who to do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere. Put simply, they're not really living at all.
The wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it. We can choose to see failure as "the end of the world," or as proof of just how inadequate we are. Or, we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is. Every time we fail at something, we can choose to look for the lesson we're meant to learn. These lessons are very important; they're how we grow, and how we keep from making that same mistake again. Failures stop us only if we let them.

 It's easy to find successful people who have experienced failure. For example:

 

• Steve Jobs was fired from Apple in 1985. Yet he returned in 1997, and was instrumental in helping the company develop products such as the iMac, iPod, and iPhone.

 

• Warren Buffet, one of the world's richest and most successful businessmen, was rejected by Harvard University.

• Richard Branson, owner of the Virgin empire, is a high school dropout.

 Most of us will stumble and fall in life. Doors will get slammed in our faces, and we might make some bad decisions. But imagine if Michael Jordan had given up on his dream to play basketball when he was cut from that team. Imagine if Richard Branson had listened to the people who told him he'd never do anything worthwhile without a high school diploma.
Think of the opportunities you'll miss if you let your failures stop you.
Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise. For instance, failure can help you discover how strong a person you are. Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends, or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.
Often, valuable insights come only after a failure. Accepting and learning from those insights is key to succeeding in life.

Overcoming a Fear of Failure
It's important to realize that in everything we do, there's always a chance that we'll fail. Facing that chance, and embracing it, is not only courageous -- it also gives us a fuller, more rewarding life.
However, here are a few ways to reduce the fear of failing:

• Analyze all potential outcomes – Many people experience fear of failure because they fear the unknown. Remove that fear by considering all of the potential outcomes of your decision. Our article Decision Trees will teach you how to map possible outcomes visually.
• Learn to think more positively – Positive thinking is an incredibly powerful way to build self-confidence and neutralize self-sabotage. Our article Thought Awareness, Rational Thinking, and Positive Thinking is a comprehensive resource for learning how to change your thoughts.
• Look at the worse-case scenario – In some cases, the worst case scenario may be genuinely disastrous, and it may be perfectly rational to fear failure. In other cases, however, this worst case may actually not be that bad, and recognizing this can help.
• Have a contingency plan – If you're afraid of failing at something, having a "Plan B" in place can help you feel more confident about moving forward.

Goal Setting
 If you have a fear of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals. But goals help us define where we want to go in life. Without goals, we have no sure destination
 Many experts recommend visualization as a powerful tool for goal setting. Imagining how life will be after you've reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward.
 what can you do instead?
 Start by setting a few small goals. These should be goals that are slightly, but not overwhelmingly, challenging. Think of these goals as "early wins" that are designed to help boost your confidence.

For example, if you've been too afraid to talk to the new department head (who has the power to give you the promotion you want), then make that your first goal. Plan to stop by her office during the next week to introduce yourself.

Or, imagine that you've dreamed of returning to school to get your MBA, but you're convinced that you're not smart enough to be accepted into business school. Set a goal to talk with a school counselor or admissions officer to see what's required for admission.

Try to make your goals tiny steps on the route to much bigger goals. Don't focus on the end picture: getting the promotion, or graduating with an MBA. Just focus on the next step: introducing yourself to the department head, and talking to an admissions officer. That's it.
Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence, keep you moving forward, and prevent you from getting overwhelmed with visions of your final goal.

Harold Wazowski Brown
Fear of failure can be a symptom of a more serious mental health condition. If fear of failure affects your day-to-day life, it's important to speak with your doctor to get advice.
Many of us sometimes experience a fear of failure, but we mustn't let that fear to stop us from moving forward.
Fear of failure can have several causes: from childhood events to mistakes we've made in our adult lives. It's important to realize that we always have a choice: we can choose to be afraid, or we can choose not to be.

Start by setting small goals that will help build your confidence. Learn how to explore and evaluate all possible outcomes rationally and develop contingency plans; and practice thinking positively. By moving forward slowly but steadily, you'll begin to overcome your fear of failure.

Teen Beating In the Society

     

              Teen Beating In the Society

 

   After seeing it , my heart aches,” about a video posted in the Net showing three girls from Guangdong China beating a helpless girl. The video sparked a lengthy thread, with comments like “ I cannot finish watching, truly too detestable. Are they cold blooded animals “ and within in seven minuets , kicked over 70 times! With each kick , my heart shook, and with the 45th kick, she even had her head  stepped on! Where did their humanity go! 

 

PUBLIC ACTS

 

  H>>Curious about how disturbing the video really was, I clicked play.,.,. and felt the same outrageous. In fact , I also couldn’t watch the entire clip., The victim had her hair pulled , her head smashed on the ground, and her face and body kicked , and all these happened on the street!

  H>>In the Philippines , teen beating incident are mostly seen on the context of  “RAMBOL”  between “ BARKADA’S “ or gangs, usually from marginalized areas. But “ Teen beating has been going on in our country for a long time” . A lot of the cases , however , are not documented or reported by the victims themselves and or their respective families. Although the issue may not seems so pressing from a distance and appear to be pretty  fights , the fact that it happened is alarming enough. 

 

CAUSES

Teen beating is just of the many faces of teen violence. In order for us to understand the root of teen beating, we must first find out, Why do teens resort to violence to deal with their issues in the first place…….

1.ATTENTION DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY…                                                       

 This is one of the more common mental disorder in child and when left untreated ,can have adverse effects to an individuals during his/her adolescence and adulthood. 

2.INVOLVEMENT WITH DRUGS,ALCOHOL OR TOBACCO…                    

These vices tend to intoxicate the mind and hamper one’s judgement. This could lead individuals and group to act without regard for what’s right and wrong , and prevent them from properly weighing the consequence of that act .

3.EXPOSURE TO VIOLENCE AND FAMILY CONFLICT...  

 The environment one grew up in is also a factor,., if an adolescent was exposed to a chaotic life as a child ,with a parent who is habitually violent , for instance.                              

*PEER PRESSURE… We also can’t discount the contribution per influence might have on teen violence . As stated in Juvenile Delinquency, The core by Larry J. Siegel and Brandon C. Welsh, “ Although  parents are the primary source of influence and attention in children’s early years, Children between ages eight and the 14 seeks out a stable peer  group, and both the number and the variety of friendship increase as children go through adolescence. Friends soon begin to have greater influence over decision.,,., making than parents” .

Blogger Comment…

For me acknowledges this factor, sharing that, “ in some of the cases that I have personally come across, the teen perpetrators of violence all confessed that didn’t actually intend the results of their actions, either serious physical injuries suffered by the victims. But, because they were either coaxed by their group or were pushed to promote themselves , they were able to commit such reprehensible acts.” 

SCOPE OF VIOLENCE

 

Just how  violent can the youth today really get? Guys aren’t the only ones who get themselves into brawls nowadays ,. Some girls and boys built notorious reputations for being tough fighter as well. And getting even ., for the boys and girls are no longer defined by , or even confined to, mere snotty looks, backstabbing., gossiping or calling each other names.

 

1. “ Pag galit na galit ka na kasi, minsan.,” words aren’t enough to release your anger. “ Parang gusto mo manakit.” So you’ll feel relieved , Max* 21, shares. Max is known for being a war freak even when he was in high school. When someone crosses his or his friends , his first reaction wold be “ halika, sugurin na natin! “ but before things went too far, his anger would subside and he’ll realized it was no longer worth it to start a fight. 

2.Trixie*, 18,is different. When she’s mad, she tends to act violently and impulsively . she’s the type who throw things and has tantrums and a sharp tongue. In School, she belongs to a popular clique who stick together and often carry out revenge on girls who, in one way or another, get in their way. Once Trixie figured in a boy., related conflict with a batch mate and her friends waited for the girls outside their campus and initiated a physical fight. 

 

H>>In essence , teen beating may be classified as a form of bullying because there’s a dominant party. Bullying is “ most usefully conceptualized as an ongoing social tie of competitive dominance and subordination.” Beating may happened instantaneously, with external factors playing a big part. Even a quiet teen may suddenly snap and engage in teen beating , but then beating is limited to physical means whereas bullying may be physical , verbal and even cyberspace . Bullying happens overtime , while beating is fuelled by the need to retaliate.

 

LEGAL CONSEQUENCES

 

   In the Philippines , We had certain laws to address problems related to teen beating and  or violence which may be applied on a case to case basis. We have the “ANTI-HAZING LAW ( R.A 8049), ANTI-CHILD ABUSE LAW ( R.A 7610) and the JUVENILE JUSTICE & WELFARE ACT ( R.A 9344), all working under the provisions of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines.

                                                 

BLOGGER COMMENT…

This acts and laws was revised by penal code of the Philippines will amusedly applied in our country not just only for addressing and making that laws for no certain accused, it should be used in good way, perhaps here in the Philippines, the truth is were making laws but it doesn’t work and provide value!! Mind those politics member who makes policies! Pls! be remind that “ there’s no certain words who can do by mouth and wrote , but actions is the best way to enhance more”

Besides the physical pain and injury that one risks when engaging in teen beating , there are emotional wounds that can take a long time to heal. There are effective and productive means that can be employed , without having to resort to physical violence . As the classic ethical saying goes “ two wrongs do not make a right.”

CRAB MENTALITY INTO GAPI MENTALITY

 CRAB MENTALITY OF FILIPINO'S 

In the time of era has done. We filipino's give importance for those weird action that is not good into it. Crab Mentality actually describe a kind of selfish, short-sighted thinking which runs along the lines of “if I can't have it, neither can you.” This term is especially widely used among Filipinos, who use it specifically to refer to people who pull other people down, denigrating them rather than letting them get ahead or pursue their dreams. As a general rule, an accusation of having a crab mentality is a poor reflection on someone's personality.

 This concept references an interesting phenomenon which occurs in buckets of crabs. If one crab attempts to escape from a bucket of live crabs, the other crabs will pull it back down, rather than allowing it to get free. Sometimes, the crabs seem almost malicious, waiting until the crab has almost escaped before yanking it back into the pot. All of the crabs are undoubtedly aware of the fact that their fate is probably not going to be very pleasurable, so people are led to wonder why they pull each other back into the bucket, instead of congratulating the clever escape artist.

 The crab mentality is a reflection of the famous saying “we all like to see our friends get ahead, but not too far ahead.” Learning to recognize the crab mentality in yourself is a very good idea, especially if you work or live in a highly competitive environment.

 Culture: Crab Mentality 
   " The Cancer of the World Society"

 What do Charice Pempengco, Manny Pacquiao, Lea Salonga, Manny Villar, Arnel Pineda, and Efren Penaflorida all have in common? They are all dynamic, talented, and successful Filipinos who, at certain times in their careers, have tasted the bitter nauseating bile of Filipino Crab Mentality.
  You have heard this term bandied about in the media, opinion columns and online forums and chat rooms.  It is so frequently used, but a lot of the times the exact definition is left to the imagination.  More often than not, it is used to just shut down somebody whose opinion does not comport with or agree with your opinion.  What exactly is Filipino crab mentality?  Where did it come from?  What does it apply to?  What does it say about Filipinos as a people, as a culture and where does it point us in terms of future direction?  Common usage of the term crab mentality is really to deal with seemingly and perceived negative opinions, assessments or criticisms.  It is almost as used as frequently as “inggit” or “inggit ka lang,” which is a phrase meaning you are just envious.  Basically it turns the argument from the focus of the criticism and assessment back to the person who was supposedly criticized or gave a negative opinion.  It is really an ad hominem because it puts the critic’s motives into a bad light.  More common than not, it is used to just silence otherwise valid critics

 "THE HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL ROOTS OF CRAB MENTALITY"
 
   What are the roots of crab mentality in the Philippines?  First of all, the notion of crab mentality is not unique to us as a people.  Mexicans and Black-Americans also use the term and it also impacts and draws from their history, however different those histories are from ours.  It is not a uniquely Filipino concept or trait.  In the Filipino context, the roots of crab mentality stem from fragmented national identity.  Like it or not, the Philippines is only a country because the Spaniards collected a series of violence under their sovereignty, spread Catholicism and put us under the administrative rule.  Prior to that, there was no such thing as a Philippines, not by a long shot.  The parts of the South were under the influence of the different Indonesian sultanates and Malayan sultanates.  Parts of Luzon had contacts with China.  Any concept of a Filipino national identity really just began with the Spaniards.  However, the concept of crab mentality does not draw from that specific fact.


   BESIDES OF CRAB MENTALITY THERE IS ALSO,
        "GAPI MENTALITY "

  1.WHAT IS THE ROLE IN OUR POVERTY!!
   The Gapi mentality. This is the final myth regarding wealth in the Philippines. Gapi mentality is defined as the following: You have to explain the change in material wealth of another person in order to excuse your own personal failings and not achieving the same results. It then goes even deeper. You have to separate yourself from the people that moved up in the world because it would impact your ego. There are a lot of traditions and customs and mental constructs surrounding this concept. It takes many different forms. It can be as simple as somebody getting a job at a call center that pays 30,000 to 40,000 pesos a month, and the peers of that person working for less, like 20,000 or 15,000 pesos a month. Another common situation is somebody was sent by their company to work overseas in England while they are “stuck in the Philippines.” In whatever variation this takes, the arrangement of the players, the arrangement of the emotions involved is fairly straightforward. People get left behind by some sort of measure, whether it is economics, fiscal distance or social status. Instead of viewing it as an opportunity to be pushed to the next level to produce more, to achieve more, the mental incentive is to distance one’s self, to recast one’s self usually in a victim model. This means “because I’m a moral person I can’t get rich” or “because I’m Filipino I can’t get rich” or “because they are Chinese” or “because I was unlucky.”

 The key here is to define away the problem by creating new differentiations that separate you from the harsh reality that maybe, just maybe, you and that person are really pretty much the same except that they chose a different path. They chose to sacrifice, they chose to work hard, they chose to take risks and everything gelled together and they made it happen through perseverance. But that may be too much to take. That’s maybe too much of a blow to the ego and too much hit to the pride. It is much easier to redefine yourself out of the equation maybe because you are poor, or you just came from a bad family, or because you are not Chinese.

 These things are deeper than merely giving one’s self excuses for failure though. If it was just that, then it would be a purely individual affair. However, there is a cultural pattern to this. If you turn on the media, when you read lots of articles or opinion columns, there are many glimmers of this mentality. It has to stop. All these myths and all this mentalities have to stop because it creates a vicious cycle. It does not benefit anybody. Whatever benefits it may have is temporary and does not really lead to anything concrete or substantial. Definitely it does not lead to sustainable future. Unless we find a way to stop this thinking and these myths in general, we will never ascend from poverty – not now, not in the future.

   The Lord continues to raise up those who understand the causes of poverty in the philippines – and the resources to respond the situation is improving with each passing decade.
Filipinos are a people of hope, work ethic, and resourcefulness, and the onslaught of poverty will slowly begin to be repelled and the victory won,and i'm proud to be a filipino.
Together we can all work to break the cycle of poverty in the Philippines and give these children a chance to live productive and happy lives.

Back n' TOP 10 Species 2011-2012

 TOP 10...new species!!

A sneezing monkey, a blue tarantula, and an extinct walking cactus are just three of the remarkable new species listed in the annual Top Ten New Species put together by the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University. This year's list includes a wide-variety of life forms from fungi to flower and invertebrate to primate.

"The top 10 is intended to bring attention to the biodiversity crisis and the unsung species explorers and museums who continue a 250-year tradition of discovering and describing the millions of kinds of plants, animals and microbes with whom we share this planet," explains Quentin Wheeler, an entomologist who directs the International Institute for Species Exploration.  

 Top Ten New Species

1. This mysterious primate (seen here in a reconstruction) not only made headlines last year, but continues to do so as a population of the believed to be Critically Endangered species was recently found in China. The new monkey, the Myanmar snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri), was discovered byway of a carcass killed by a local hunter. Since then camera trap photos and video have been taken of the species. They are reportedly easy to hunt as locals say their up-turned noses cause them to sneeze in the rain. Researchers believe only a few hundred survive.

   2.This new jellyfish was named by high school teacher Lisa Peck for what she believed divers must say when they first see the beautiful animal . It is also called the Bonaire banded box jelly because it was spotted near the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean. The new jellyfish is venomous.

 VIDEO OF " BONAIRE BANDED BOX JELLY "

 

 3.Hell has a new member: Halicephalobus mephisto. This super tiny (0.5 millimeter) nematode was discovered nearly a mile (1.3 kilometers) beneath the Earth's surface in a South African gold mine. Named after Mephistopheles, the demon character in Faust, the species has adapted to incredible underground pressures and had not had contact with the atmosphere for up to 6,000 years. This is a photo of the face of the nematode taken under scanning          
                                                             electron microscope.


 

 4.This is the world's only known night-blooming orchid. Discovered in Papua New Guinea, this orchid open from 10 PM to early morning. It is named Bulbophyllum nocturnum, which means "at night".






 


 5.This tiny wasp dive bombs ants from above, laying its eggs on the unsuspecting ants in less than 1/20 of a second even though the ants are giants to it. Named, Kollasmosoma sentum, it was discovered in Madrid, Spain.

 6.Named after the popular kids cartoon character this fungi is called the SpongBob Squarepants mushroom (Spongiforma squarepantsii). Discovered in Malaysian Borneo, this mushroom resembles the sea sponge and when squeezed will spring back to its original form.

 7.If you want to picture this species in real life: think of a sausage. Named the "wandering leg sausage" (Crurifarcimen vagans), this is now the world's largest millipede. Discovered in the species-rich Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania the new millipede is 16 centimeters (over six inches) long.

8.Belonging to an extinct group of little-known animals called the Lobopodia, this fossil species was given the name walking cactus (Diania cactiformis) for its resemblance to imagined trotting cacti. Discovered in China, the species was alive during the Cambrian, an incredible 520 million years ago.

 9.Amazingly this is the first new species from Brazil to make this list. Sazima's tarantula (Pterinopelma sazimai), which is stunningly blue, is found on a single flattop mountain in the mega-biodiverse country.







 

 10.This high-living poppy probably went unnoticed by scientists for so long because it lives above 3,290 meters (10,800 feet) in the wilds of Nepal. It is named Meconopsis autumnalis, because it flowers in the autumn.

 HAROLD N. 


  Two new species of frog have been discovered in fast-disappearing forests in the Philippines, boosting hopes for the survival of the country’s rich but threatened wildlife.The new discoveries are a mottled brown frog with red eyes and a broad yellow stripe running down its back, and a yellow-green one not much bigger than a human thumb. discovered the frogs in Leyte island’s Nacolod mountain. Their dwindling habitat also harbored 62 other reptiles and amphibian species, 36 mammal species, 112 bird species, and 229 plant species.

2nd Page of " Mystery of BERMUDA TRIANGLE "

The 2ND Page of  " Mystery of BERMUDA TRIANGLE "

Among Questions of this mystery Sea Fields Namely Bermuda Triangle are linkage of among bloggers in my site @ gmail.com & gmail reader... i finally research and browses among books about this Story all about. Let see and read my simple blogs that i have done. 


HOW BERMUDA TRIANGLE Works?

  The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles.You won't find it on any official map and you won't know when you cross the line, but according to some people, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where dozen of ships, planes and people have disappeared with no good explanation. Since a magazine first coined the phrase "Bermuda Triangle" in 1964, the mystery has continued to attract attention. When you dig deeper into most cases, though, they're much less mysterious. Either they were never in the area to begin with, they were actually found, or there's a reasonable explanation for their disappearance.Does this mean there's nothing to the claims of so many who have had odd experiences in the Bermuda Triangle? Not necessarily. Scientists have documented deviations from the norm in the area and have found some interesting formations on the seafloor within the Bermuda Triangle's boundaries. So, for those who like to believe in it, there is plenty fuel for the fire.Many think of the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, as an "imaginary" area. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation.

Well-known Disappearances>>>>

 Many Bermuda Triangle Web sites include long lists of missing ships and planes. But many of those were nowhere near the Triangle when they disappeared or they turned up later with rational explanations for their disappearances. For example, the Mary Celeste, found floating in 1872 with not a person on board and everything exactly as they had left it, is on nearly every list of losses blamed on the Bermuda Triangle. But in reality, it was many hundreds of miles from the TRIANGLE AT THIS TIME .          

                                                                               

The U.S.S. Cyclops, 1918.....

During World War I, the U.S.S. Cyclops served along the eastern coast of the United States until January 9, 1918. At that time, she was assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service. The Cyclops was scheduled to sail to Brazil to refuel British ships in the south Atlantic. She set out from Rio de Janeiro on February 16, and, after a brief stop in Barbados from March 3 to 4, was never seen or heard from again. All 306 passengers and crew were gone without a trace.

 

U.S. Navy Avengers Flight 19, 1945......

 

       The most famous Bermuda Triangle story is the mystery surrounding five missing Navy Avengers in 1945. The story of Flight 19 is usually summarized this way: a routine patrol set out on a sunny day with five highly experienced student pilots. Suddenly, the tower began receiving transmissions from the flight leader that they were lost, compasses were not working, and "everything looked wrong." They were never seen again, and extensive Navy investigations turned up no clues to explain the disappearance.

 

How did BERMUDA TRIANGLE get it's name??

 The first use of the term was in a 1964 article about seemingly unusual disappearances in the area that was published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.

Then in 1974, two books were published, 'The Bermuda Triangle' by Charles Berlits and 'The Devil's Triangle' by Richard Winer. These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines. These two books were the source for the popular terms.

 The Bermuda Triangle is a invisible triangle in the Atlantic Ocean. The three points are Florida, Puerto Rico and the island Bermuda. The Bermuda Triangle got its name from the five military planes that flew in the triangle coming from Florida, to Puerto Rico, Bermuda and then back to Florida. The planes never made it to the Bermuda island. The reported their compasses went wacky and they said that the sky and ocean merged and their was no horizon. This is what made the area infamous.

 

BERMUDA TRIANGLE AND IT'S TREASURES!!!!!

Stories of Survivers......

Some people were able to miraculously survive the Bermuda Triangle and told people of what they saw. Most of the stories involve their instruments failing, lost electricity, and a state similar to vertigo. Some even saw UFOs appear out of the water or diving into the water. Similar reports have been in the Dragon's Triangle which is in the Pacific Ocean. Both triangles are the only two places on the Earth that the real and magnetic poles are the same.

 

 Atlantis and Wormholes.....?

 The most common report is the horizon disappearing which the captain or the pilot loses sense of direction. This could be part of the reason why so many people disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Some people even see fireballs and go in wormholes. These wormholes by themselves scare a lot of people and what happens if you got stuck in the wormhole? Some psychics say that they feel Atlantis is in the Bermuda Triangle and the crystals are broken. The crystals is what is causing a lot of those problems. The psychics say its random and it requires daylight for the crystals to work and create chaos. The Bermuda Triangle will continue to me a great mystery.

Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved.....

 Computer studies of ocean floors around the world, particularly the area known as The Bermuda Triangle, reveal evidence of massive methane explosions in the past. For years, believers in the paranormal, aliens, and other outlandish theories pointed to the the disappearance of ships and aircraft as an indicator of mysterious forces at work in the “Devil’s triangle.” Scientists have finally pointed the rest of us to a more plausible cause.The presence of methane hydrates indicates enormous eruptions of methane bubbles that would swamp a ship, and projected high into the air- take out flying airplanes, as well.Any ships caught within the methane mega-bubble immediately lose all buoyancy and sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the bubbles are big enough and possess a high enough density they can also knock aircraft out of the sky with little or no warning. Aircraft falling victim to these methane bubbles will lose their engines-perhaps igniting the methane surrounding them-and immediately lose their lift as well, ending their flights by diving into the ocean and swiftly plummeting.

Craziest Facts About your Body

 Craziest Facts About your Body

1)Your Hand Can Have A Mind On Its Own!

 The ‘idle hand’ which referred to as the ‘Alien Hand Syndrome’ is an unusual neurological disorder in which the sufferer’s hand seems to take on a mind of its own. This is due to the damage in the medial motor frontal region of the brain and often occurs after a brain surgery, a stroke or an infection of the brain.
The sufferer has no control over the movements of the ‘alien hand’ nor will they have any conscience idea on what that hand is doing. The person suffering from this condition can often feel disconnected with their hand, and feel as if it was not part of their body.
When the suffer is unaware the alien hand can sometime act out complex movements like unbuttoning clothing, using tools or even tearing pieces of clothing. There are no know treatments or cure for ‘Alien Hand Syndrome’ however the best solution is to give this alien hand an object it can play with to keep it distracted from doing anything harmful to the sufferer.




 2)You Could Remove A Large Part of Your Internal Organs and Survive!

 
While the human body may appear fragile, your body is stronger than you could possibly imagine. It is possible for you to survive even after the removal of the spleen, the stomach, one kidney, one lung, 75% of the liver, 80% of the intestines, and almost every organ from the pelvic and groin area.








3)You Can Still Have An Erection After Death!

This is a death erection, which often being referred to as ‘angel lust’. It is a post-mortem erection that occurs when a male individual dies vertically or face-downside and as long as the body remains in this position, the effect will not subside.
How It Could Possibly Happen........?
When a man is still alive, the heart pumps blood evenly around the body. When he dies, this mechanism stops and the blood acts by the force of gravity. As with any mass, the blood will settle at the lowest point of the body and cause swelling. So if a man dies vertically, the blood will settle in the legs and collect at the feet.
The pressure will cause the blood vessels and tissues in the feet to swell up to accommodate as much blood as possible. As blood collects, it will fill up to the torso and the blood will attempt to move to a lower position due to gravity, which is the penis (the legs are full by now). The blood causes the penis, consisting of erectile tissue, to fill with blood and expand.


4) Heart Attacks Are More Likely To Happen On Monday! :)


A 10-year study in Scotland found that 20% of people die of a heart attack on Monday’s compare to any other day of the week. The study suggests that the ‘Monday peak’ could be a result of massive drinking during the weekend and work related stress; you know the ‘Monday blues.’






5) Babies Have More Bones Than You Do! WHY??
                                                                    

When a baby is born, they have 300 bones in their body. When they reach adulthood they are left with only 206 bones. This is because the smaller bones eventually join together to form stronger single bones.









6) Your Hair Is Almost Indestructible!

 Apart from having it burnt, human hair decays at such a slow rate that it is almost impossible to get rid of. Do you remember those documentaries about Egypt, the pyramids and Mummies on Discovery Channel? Well the mummies are left with no flesh, practically nothing but bones and yes… hair. It might look fragile but hair cannot be destroyed by cold, change of climate, water, or other natural forces and it is resistant to many kinds of acids and corrosive chemicals.




7) You Can Survive Without Food But Not Without Sleep!

       You need sleep as much as you need food. Many people neglect the importance of having enough sleep without knowing that humans can actually survive longer without food than without sleep. With water alone, an average person could survive a month to two without food (that also varies from an individual’s body fat and other factors).
But a few sleepless nights will cause the person to start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes. The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 264 hours. Randy Gardner at the end of which the experiment did not stumble or hallucinate but  scientist  has said that any more sleepless nights than that is dangerous.


 
 TINY TEETH!
   
  Unlike your heart or brain , your teeth weren't ready to work from the day you were born. Although babies
have the beginning of their first teeth even before they are born, teeth don't become visible until babies are about 6 to 12 months old.

  After that first breaks through , more and more teeth begin to appear. Most kids have their first set of teeth
by the time they are 3 years old. These are called the primary or baby teeth and there are 20 in all. When a child gets to age 5 or 6 , these teeth starts falling out , one by one.

 There are 28 permanent teeth in all.- eight more than original set of baby teeth. Between  the ages of 17and 21,Four more teeth called Wisdom Teeth Usually grow in at the back of the mouth. They complete the adult set of 32 teeth.


 22 FEET ISN'T SMALL AT ALL??
 
   The small INTESTINE is a long tube that's about 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches ( about 3.5 to 5 centimeters)
around,and its packed inside you beneath your stomach. If you stretched out an adult's small intestine , it would be about 22 feet long ( 6.7meters) - thats like 22 notebooks notebooks lined up end to end , all in a row.

   The small intestine breaks down the food mixtures even more so your body can absorb all the vitamins,minerals,proteins,carbohydrates, and fats. The chicken on your pizza is full of proteins- and a little fat-and the small intestine can help extract them with a little help from three friends: and the gallbladder serves as a warehouse for bile , storing it until the body needs it.


THAT'S ONE LARGE INTESTINE??
 
At 3 or 4 inches around ( about 7 to 10 centimeters), the larger intestine is fatter than small intestine and its almost the last stop on the digestive system tract. Like the small intestine, it is packed into the body, and would measure 5 feet ( about 1.5 meters) long if you spread it out.















TASTE GREAT!!!

 
Most people just think of the tongue when they think about taste. But you couldn't taste anything without some help from the nose.! The ability to smell and taste to together because odors from foods allow us to taste more fully.
 Take a bite of food and think about now it tastes. Then pinch your nose and take another bite. Notice the difference? It's just another reason  to appreciate your knockout of a nose.




BOOGERS- hey! get your finger outta there! instead of picking them out ! lets learn about those blobs. YEAH! ., were talking about BOOGERS!. To understand what boogers are you need to know about mocus. Mucus is the sticky one. Slimy stuff that's made inside your nose. If you're like lot of kids, you have another name of nose mucus: snot your nose and sinuses make about a quart ( about 1 liter) of snot every day.


If you have  to get rod of boogers, your best  bet is to " BLOW" 'em... out of your nose and into a tissue. Picking your nose isn't a great idea because boogers contain lots of germs and because poking around in your nose can make it bleed.


 AHHHHH--CHOOOOOO!!!!

 If you just sneezed, something was probably irritating or tickling the inside or your nose. Sneezing also called
STERNUTATION., is your body's way of removing an irritation from your nose.
When the inside of your nose gets a tickle, a message is sent to a special part of your brain called the sneeze center. The sneeze center then sends a message to all the muscle that have to work together to create the amazingly complicated process that we call sneeze.
 "Some of the muscles involved are the abdominal ( belly ) muscle. the diaphragm ( the large muscle beneath your lungs that makes you breathe), the muscle that control your vocal cords, and muscle in the back of your throat. Don't forget the eyelid muscles! Did you know that you always close your eyes when you sneeze?

It is the job of the sneeze center to make all these muscles work together, in just the right order, to send that irritation flying out of your nose. And Fly it does - sneezing can send tiny particles speeding out of your nose at up to 100 miles per hour!.

  Most anything that can irritate the inside of your nose can start a sneeze. Some common things include dust,cold,air, or pepper. When you catch a cold in your nose , a virus has made a temporarily home there and is causing lots a swelling and irritation. Some people have allergies , and they sneeze when they are exposed to certain things , such as animal ( which comes from the skin of many common pets) or pollen ( which comes from some plants).

 Do you know anyone who sneeze when they step outside into the sunshine?? about one out of every three people sneezes when exposed to bright light. They are called PHOTIC sneezers. If you are a photic sneezers, most people have some sensitivity to light that can trigger a sneeze.






BLOGGER! - HAVE YOU EVER HAD THE FEELING THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SNEEZE, BUT IT JUST GET'S STUCK? NEXT TIME THAT HAPPENS,TRY LOOKING TOWARD A BRIGHT LIGHT BRIEFLY ( BUT DON'T LOOK RIGHT INTO THE SUN) - SEE IF THAT DOESN'T A UNSTICK STUCK SNEEZE!
ANYWAY THIS CRAZIEST THINGS IS A PART OF OUR DAILY LIVES,GOD DO THIS BECAUSE OF A BIG REASONS.
