Goldfish Brains

MISCONCEPTION: Goldfish have a memory span of only three seconds.

TRUTH: Studies into the memory of goldfish have shown that the little fish can retain information on environments such as mazes, up to and beyond one year after initially learning the information, and I think we can all agree that one year is longer than three seconds.

The Body’s Light

Life is light – whilst that may sound like an excerpt from some religious text, it is actual fact. It has been shown that glowing is no longer the reserve of glow worms, firefly’s and deep sea fish. Biochemical reactions in, and on the body of nearly every creature on earth produce thousands upon thousands of compounds, and also light. Practically all life on earth produces visible light, whether it wants to or not. That includes humans – we quite literally glow. Constantly in fact. You are doing it right now.

Now most of us do not notice this because of the fact that the glow is so meager. 1000 times too dim for the human eye to even detect, but it is certainly still there. In fact, how much the human body glows changes throughout the day. A study into the subject using extremely sensitive cameras and light tight rooms found that you are particularly dim (in the light sense of course) at 10 am, whilst you are relatively bright at 4 pm.Japanese researchers are hoping to study it more extensively as it may be linked to how well the metabolism is functioning. They hope to one day have cameras that can see the faintest glow of your skin and tell whether or not you are in good health. A truly remarkable idea indeed.

In addition to us constantly glowing and changing how bright we are it was noted that the human face produces much more light than any other part of the body. Talk about a gleaming smile.

Mass of the earth

The mass of the Earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg or 5980000000000000000000000 kg.

However did you know that the Earth is constantly getting heavier. Thanks to the cosmic rubble , debris and general bric-a-brac wandering to the cosmos the earth gets heavier by between 20-40 tonnes per day.

Goat Eyes

Unlike most creatures with eyes, goats have horizontal rectangular pupils in their eyes. This wider pupil gives them the advantage of having a much wider periphery and it lets them see the edges of their vision in full 3D, a big advantage. Also it mean goats can nearly see behind themselves thanks to the evolutionary advantage.

You may of course believe that horizontal slit pupils are rare, but they are more common than you may think. They are more common with animals which often fall prey to other animals such as cows and many species of bird. We just notice them more in goats because they have paler eyes.

Also, wether is the term for a castrated male goat; if you need to know. To conclude, if you think you are sneaking up behind a goat, you are not. They can see you, and it’s all because of those odd eyes. So stop sneaking up on goats. I won’t tell you twice.

10: Every atom of our body is said to be billions of years old and our body is 70 percent water.

9: By the age of 18, the human brains stop growing.  It even begins to lose more than 1,000 brain cells after such age. Your brain comprises only 2 percent of your body weight but uses up to 20 percent of your body’s energy. Your brain never takes a break even when you are sleeping; the brain is busy working to replenish the brain processes needed to function normally while awake.

8: An average human produces 10,000 gallons of saliva in a lifetime.

7: It is impossible to sneeze without blinking your eyes. The highest recorded speed of a human sneeze is 165 kilometer per hour.

6: The human body sheds about 40 pounds of skin in a lifetime. Our skin produces antibacterial chemicals to keep germs at a bay. It also produces antimicrobial peptides that protect the body from infection.

5: You can’t swallow and breathe at the same time; however babies can do this but until they are about nine months.

4: Yawning helps you cool your brain. It is an involuntary behavior. When you yawn, the influx of cool air may ventilate your sinuses and facilitate brain cooling.

3: Your heart is said to beat nearly 3 billion times if you live an average life span of seventy years.

2: Your lungs need a lot of breathing room. The total surface area of the lungs is approximately equal to the size of a tennis court.

1: Each person has a unique tongue print just like the fingerprints.

Cotard Delusion

The Cotard delusion is a rare brain disorder in which a person holds a
delusional belief that they are dead.  Patients who have the disorder might
also feel that they do not exist or have lost all their blood or internal organs.
People suffering from a severe case of Cotard delusion will begin to deny
the existence of the self.  These individuals will often time feel as if they
have been taken to hell or are being controlled by a demon force.

Cotard delusion is related to Capgras syndrome, as both disorders are
thought to result from a disconnection between the brain areas that
recognize faces and produce emotions.  The disconnection creates a sense
that the person’s own face is not their own, which creates the assumption
that they are dead or zombie-like.  Cotard's syndrome is encountered
primarily in psychoses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.  Rarely,
the syndrome can include delusions of immortality.

Facebook Tips and Tricks That You Should Know

Facebook being one of the most popular social networking site, comes with various Facebook tips and tricks. Here I have compiled a list of fb tricks that you would like to try on your Facebook profile. 


 

Useful Fb tricks for Enhanced Facebook experience:

1. Appear Online Only to Selected Friends:

Facebook chat is one of the coolest and most useful features in FB. My dilemma, however, was how to limit the number of people I chat with every time I log in. I certainly can’t accommodate them all but I don’t want them to feel like I’m rejecting them when I don’t send them a reply. I didn’t know back then that it is possible to appear online only to a few selected friends. A friend of mine actually gave me this idea which I’m sure would be of use to you, too.

-->

Here’s how to do it: 

Go to Chat found at the lower right side of the page and then, click on Friends List. A small window will appear where you can type and create a new list.  You could name it anything you want. In this example I named it “Blocklist”. On your newly created list, select and start dragging those names that you wish to block. Then set your status to appear offline to this particular group of friends. With this, you now appear completely invisible to them. Try it now.

2. Integrate Facebook Toolbar into Your Browser:

To make your FB experience a lot less complicated, I suggest you try using the Facebook Toolbar. This feature only works on  Mozilla firefox browser. This allows you to find, share, check your notifications and messages, and even update your account effortlessly. Just click on the buttons found in the toolbar then you’re there. To get this cool Mozilla Add-on, simply click on this linkand click install. Once you’ve installed this application, you can now log in to your Facebook account using this toolbar.

3. Easy Steps on How to Create an Facebook  Photo Collage:

If you’re one of the “photo buffs” like me this application is for you. You don’t have to trouble yourself looking for a desktop application just so you could make a simple photo collage out of all your FB photos. This trendy application can do nice Facebook photo tricks for you: Just go to this linkand install the application call Facebook photo collage.

4. Upload Photos and Videos Using Your Mobile Phone:

The last time I went to Bantayan Island, I met this cool new friend who has uploaded his fresh photos and videos directly from his Blackberry Phone onto his Facebook account instantaneously. Interestingly, this process is quite simple and you can do it on all smartphones. Just visit this linkand learn how you could start sharing your videos and photos via phone and email.

5. Cool Magic Circles on Facebook: This is really simple, though I admit I didn’t get this the first time. This cool magic circles appearing on your page is just one of the many secret tricks you’ll find in Facebook. You might want to give this a try.

Here’s how: Press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Enter key then press up & down.

Now, just in case it doesn’t work on your first try, try reloading your page again by pressing F5 and repeat the process.

Best 10 Android Apps - 2013

#1 - SwiftKey

If you have not already heard about this app, it is definitely worth checking out. SwiftKey is an app the replaces your Android's standard keyboard, and swaps it out for SwiftKey's. Now some of you may be saying, "my old Android powered keyboard works fine, why should I replace it?" The answer is, Swiftkey makes typing out text messages emails, Facebook posts, and everything else infinitely faster. It is fully customization, and even has the option to run languages simultaneously, for those of you who are bilingual. It does a much better job of completing words, and its swype function is much more accurate than Android's standard swype. However, it is hard to convince someone to switch to SwiftKey if they haven't tried it out for themselves. Luckily there is a free version of the app so you can give it a test run. There is a reason why this app was #1 in the Android market longer than any other app last year. If you haven't yet made the switch to Swiftkey I highly recommend that you give this app a try.

#2 - Splashtop Remote Desktop HD

Splashtop comes in at number two for several reasons. There have been quite a few apps claiming to do what Spalshtop does so well, and sadly they were all a huge disappointment. Splashtop Remote Desktop HD, if you couldn't tell from the name is a remote desktop, designed to sync with your Windows, or Mac computer. This app allows you to take your computer with you wherever you go. You can listen to music right off your computer, get important work documents on the go, or maybe turn in some homework you forgot at home, the possibilities are endless. As long as you have a connection to wi-fi or a 3G/4G network any file on your computer can now be on your Android powered device. I highly recommend getting this app.

#3 - GasBuddy

With the price of gas being so high these days it's no wonder apps like GasBuddy have been popping up on the Android market. However, this is truly a worthwhile app for several reasons. First off it is free, you won't have to pay a cent to use this app. Secondly it convenient, it has several options, whether you want to just find the closest cheap gas station near your, or search a specific city/zip/postal code area. You can even report gas prices to others, to help them find cheap gas. However, I think the kicker to this app is that you have a chance of winning $250 in gas. If you do a lot of driving, or just like to save money on gas this app is for you, get it now.

#4 - Spotify

There are a lot of music streaming apps out there today. One of the first, and most popular was Pandora. Spotify is very similar to Pandora and Slacker Radio, in many ways. Spotify just seems to do what they do better and bigger. You have to pay with Spotify to get all of their premium features, but they do allow you a 48 hour premium trial period, where you can decide if Spotify is for you, or if you want to go with another music app. Spotify gives you access to millions, yes literally millions of songs, and does not put restrictions on which songs you can add to playlists like Slacker does. You can listen to your custom playlists offline, and even share them with your friends or sync them to your phone. I would say if you have to pick one music app for your phone. Make Spotify that app.

-->

#5 - iTriage

iTriage was created by two ER doctors. This is a must-have app for everyone, it is an amazing tool to use if you think you are getting sick, or are in an emergency situation. iTriage has a myriad of features that come with it. You can search symptoms, learn potential causes, and find the closest facility, doctor, or hospital near you. The features do not stop there. You can find the average wait time for hospitals, emergency rooms, and urgent care facilities. This app even offers a discount at most pharmacies that gives you 10 - 85% off generic medications, all you have to do is show them the screen before you check out. There have been other medical apps on the Android app market before, but this is by far the best. One more thing, this app is 100% free, pick it up now.

#6 - Adobe Photoshop Touch

Adobe Photoshop Touch comes in at 6th place on my list. Everyone who knows graphic design or editing photos, knows that Photoshop is the best program out there for your pc or mac. Thankfully, now photoshop comes to your Android powered device!This is by far the best app on the market right now for editing photos, and pictures. It has more options than I can list here, is extremely powerful and simple to use. If you are in the market for editing software on your phone or tablet, this should be your only choice. With a price of only $4.99, you can't beat Adobe Photoshop Touch with any other editing application, or software. I highly recommend this app, get it now.

#7 - Avast! Mobile Security

You just spent over $200.00 on your brand new phone, what do you do now? Protect it, with avast! Everyone who owns an Android phone should have some type of security or anti-virus app installed. There are some good apps out there for security, but in my opinion, this one is the best. With a price tag of free, and an incredible list of security features, this app simply cannot be beat. Some of the features are: Antivirus scans, privacy report, anti-theft (tracking, memory wipe, etc.), web shield, SMS/call filtering, and much more! If you are in need of an antivirus / security app for your phone, this app is a no-brainer. Go pick it up now on the Android marketplace.

#8 - Wordpress for Android

Are you a blogger? Chances are if you are reading this article then you may be. It has never been easier to start, add posts, or edit your blog with Wordpress. Wordpress seems to be the favorite application that bloggers use. Only one problem remained, bloggers could not edit or add posts to their blogs on the go. Well now they can, with the inroduction of Wordpress for Android, you can take your blog with you wherever you go. This app has almost all of the same features your computer wordpress account has. The only drawback is that you are unable to use custom plugins with this app, but you can still type up posts on the go, and give them a quick edit when you get home. I highly recommend this app to any blogger, or anyone wanting to start their own blog. This app is free, so go pick it up now.

#9 - Chrome for Android

Lets face it the default browser for Android is anything but ideal. Thankfully, Google has released Chrome web browser for Android power devices. This app is everything that you want it to be and more. Features include: lightning fast browser speed, search and navigate quickly, intuitive browser tabs, sync your bookmarks between your phone and your computer, and even send pages from Chrome to your computer. If you have ever used Chrome on your desktop or Laptop, you already know how fast it is. Mix that with a great functioning app, and a ton of features and you have Chrome for Android app. I highly recommend you pick this one up as soon as possible.

#10 - Widgetsoid

Coming in at number 10 it's Widgetsoid. Widgetsoid is an app aimed at allowing you to make custom widgets on any of your phone, or tablet's pages. Every seen that clock, or weather icon at the top of your screen? Thats a widget. This app brings more features than I can even describe in this article, but I'll list some of the big ones.
