Alcohol

So, what will alcohol do to your body? I just watched the Human Discovery : Alcohol from Discovery channel and found these new things. They went throught a experiment with few vouluteer to test what is the impact of alcohol and how many do they drink?

1. Ladies, warning to ladies. According to expert, the liver of the females will not metabolis the alcohol absorbed and deliver throught out the whole body. So the percentage of alcohol in the body will be considerably more when comparing with the male. Therefore, it is not hard to see that female will get drunk more quicker.

2. For males, the frequent drinks of alcohol will eventually effect the sexuality of the body. When drank too much of alcohol, the testis will begin to shrink; lose the ability to intercourse ..... And after a long time of this, the shoulder will shrink also. In the end, he could end up become a female !

3. Bones and our body. The absorbtion of alcohol will defect our body immune system, coordination system and our bones. It seems that if u drank alcohol, your body recovery system after your injury will fall. That is slower to get well. This is applied to those who fracture their bones. They will not get receovered in time with normal people who do not take alcohol. So if u drink alcohol, make sure u don't get injuries. Coordination of our body also decline drasticly, and this make accident more likely to happen. In U.S., 50% of the accident ,30% of murderer and 40% of assault is by drunker.

4. Memory, as u should know, many people forgot what they did after they drank a lot of alcohol. For example, one of the volunteer is called Jesicca. He can not recalled exactly how many glasses of alcohol she had drank. She could only remember that she drank 6, but actually she took 17 ! 11 of them she didn't can can't count in ! Besides, she became flirty after the 6th glass.

Alcohol makes people feels Great, Warm, Socialize. But one should now overlimit is only a harm. I hope all of u will not take too much of alchol. Take Care!

Canada and U.S. - High School System

In Canada and the United States, high school is four years long. The first year of high school is Grade 9. Grade 9 students are usually around 14 years old. In the United States, Grade 9 students are called, "Freshmen." Grade 10 students are called, "Sophomores." Grade 11 and 12 students are "Juniors" and "Seniors." At the end of Grade 12, most high school students attend the "prom." The prom is a party to celebrate graduation. - By Englishtown

Dream

Do you remember your dreams in the morning? Some people believe that dreams have hidden meanings. For example, if you dream you are traveling and you come to a "fork in the road," it means you must make an important choice in your life.

A "fork in the road" means a place where the road divides into two roads, with one going left and the other going right. - By Englishtown.com

Comment

So, what should u do when u are giving comment? Give a direct compliment, direct criticize on the person? Well, i used to do that to one of my friend.For example, he didn't do his revision at home and so i wrote 'no revision!', did the test too slow, and so i wrote 'too slow!'. In return, the result is still the same. Other than that, i feels that this method seems to be discouraging most people. So, after a few thought, i think it would be wise to change the way of commenting. Instead of writing negative part, we should try write something like, 'revision will be helping', 'expected to be faster next time', 'time for revision', or something like that. (well, as you can see i am not good in language so i still can not find any good sentence). Besides discouragin people, people also will feels encourage and happy if they are as expected. Dont you think so? let's hope everyone gets a better day ^_^.

What is meant by first, secand, and third base and homerun? - adapted from about.com

This one always confused me as a teen too. I was never sure what the lingo meant, although I was sure that homerun meant having sex. So, I asked around and was surprised to lean that most of my buddies aren't 100% on this one either. The general consensus seems to be the following; first base = kissing, second base = kissing and touching over clothes, third base = kissing and touching under clothes, home = sex. Now in my opinion these terms are usually used when reliving events for friends and are not a part of any moment of intimacy. Who ever got romantic by asking if they could make it to second base? If you want to know what this means so you can decipher the gossip you hear around school, fine, but if you are looking for the right words to describe your own activities you may want to think for a moment. When you get intimate with somebody there is an implied trust that should not be ignored. If you gossip about what you did you are betraying that trust and what does that say about you? The baseball analogy is a pretty immature way to talk about some very mature stuff and aren't you better than that?

ARTICLE: You Can Increase Your IQ Right Now – written by Steve Gillman

You can increase your IQ (intelligence quotient) in the next ten minutes.

On my website www.IncreaseBrainPower.com, there are many brain power exercises and techniques designed to help you long-term, but what if you need a quick brain fix right now? What if there is an important meeting coming up, or a crucial test, or just a chess game you don't want to lose? Can you really boost your IQ quickly? If what you want is results, and not an argument about the definition of intelligence, the answer is absolutely yes. Try some of the following.

* Breathe to Increase IQ *

Breathe deep. This is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve the functioning of your brain immediately. By breathing deeply we relax and put more oxygen in the blood (therefore in the brain), both of which help. Relaxation has been proven to improve brain function. Low oxygen levels in the blood have been shown to decrease it. Since most of us are in the habit of breathing too shallowly, this is a quick way to increase IQ. By the way, if you breathe through your nose, you are more likely to breathe deeply.

Meditating also helps, primarily because of the deep breathing aspect. The state of mind achieved through a simple breath-watching meditation allows true relaxation, and is conducive to creative problem solving. Just close your eyes and breath through your nose, deeply at first, then in whatever way is comfortable. As thoughts arise, dismiss them and return your attention to your breath. Do this for at least a few minutes.

* Move Your Body to Increase IQ *

Sit up straight, and close your mouth. Good posture affects our state
of mind, and helps us to think more clearly. Try an experiment to prove this to yourself. Do math problems in your head; first while slouching, with your mouth open; then while sitting up straight with your lips together. You'll get the point.

Exercise a little. Physical activity--just enough to get the blood pumping--can "wake up" your brain enough to help you think better.
Walking seems to work best, but any aerobic activity can help increase your IQ.

Sleep well. You knew this one, right? Just remember, the evidence shows us that the quality of sleep is very important, not just the quantity.

* What You Eat Can Increase or Decrease Your IQ *

Consume ginkgo biloba. Whether in capsules or tea or off a neighbor’s tree, ginkgo leaves have been shown to increase blood flow to the brain, helping memory and concentration. The effect is quick, and doesn't seem to diminish with regular use.Drink coffee. Everything from test scores on college exams to chess games have been shown to improve after a cup of coffee or other drink containing caffeine. It is a temporary effect, however, and caffeine may have adverse long-term effects for regular users.

Avoid sugar. Actually any simple carbohydrates taken in large quantities can give you that sluggish feeling that makes it difficult to think.
This is due to the insulin that is dumped into your veins after the sugar is. Don't eat white flour, sugar, potatoes, and other carbs before an important meeting.

* Results - Not Definitions *

Let the "experts" argue about whether you can increase IQ or not, in any absolute sense. We know the tests measure your IQ at a moment in time, and you know that there are times when you would score higher or lower. What you want is a real improvement in brain function. If you slept well, exercised, drank coffee and ginkgo tea, then sat up straight and
breathed deeply as you took the test, don't you think you would score a few points higher on an intelligence quotient test? More importantly, wouldn't you be better prepared for whatever mental tasks you faced?
