Some tips to help your first foray into yoga go smoothly.
1)Talk to you doctor.certain medical conditions may rule out specific poses.if you have high blood pressure,glaucoma,a history of retinal detachment,or heart disease,for instance,your doctor may advise you not to do hand,head or shoulder stands.because they tend to increase blood flow to the head,such positions could aggravate any of those conditions.
2)Fit the class to your abilities.talk to the teacher before signing up to alert him or her to your newcomer status and make sure you'll be comfortable with the level of the class.
3)Wear comfortable clothes.good choices are bike shorts,stretchy leggings,or tight and a T-shirt.you must be able to move easily and be able to see you body.work bare-foot,but take your own mat if you prefer.
4)Don't overdo it.push yourself,but don't be talked into anything that feels overly difficult.a good yoga teacher will guide-rather than force-your body into the correct form.
5)Eat early.try not to have a meal within two hours of class.
6)Stay at home,if you prefer.rent a few beginner videotapes or have a few one-on-one sessions with a private teacher.

What's Your Napping Style?
What's Your Napping Style?
1)Replacement sleepers nap to get a much-needed energy boost,because they don't sleep enough at night.
2)Split sleepers regularly divide their total sleeping time into two periods-midday and night.not surprisingly,this is especially common among night or split-shift workers.
3)Long sleepers simply enjoy more than a 'full' night's sleep.a famous example was Winston Churchill,who napped every day,even at the height of his wartime responsibilities.'Nature had not intended man to work from eight in the morning until midnight,without the refreshment of blessed oblivion,which,even if it last only 2o minutes,is sufficient to renew all vital forces,'he wrote.
4)Prophylactic sleepers nap to store up for a planned deficit because they may have work obligations,or plan to travel later or have a night out.

why we sleep?
Salam..you know why we sleep? let's check up..There are a few theories as to why we need so much sleep. One idea is that sleep is restorative to the body, giving it an opportunity to rest. But if rest is the goal, why does our brain remain hard at work? It's possible that while we sleep, the brain is practicing and running problem-solving drills before completing actions in the real world. There are several studies that show that learning can't take place without sleep to reinforce the knowledge [source: Schaffer].
Some of these studies may have real implications for students. One researcher claims that it would be better for students to review information until they were tired, then slept, as opposed to pulling an all-nighter [source: BBC]. Some schools have changed the time of that first bell so that middle and high school students can get a little more snooze time [source: Boyce, Brink]

What causes the smell after rain?
Salam..today i read some article What causes the smell after rain?
Most people notice a distinctive smell in the air after it rains. It's frequently linked with spring, as the smell of fresh cut grass is associated with summer. You'll find it in a lot of poetry and also on many inspirational lists of things to be happy about. But what causes it?
As it turns out, the smells people associate with rainstorms can be caused by a number of things. One of the more pleasant rain smells, the one we often notice in the woods, is actually caused by bacteria! Actinomycetes, a type of filamentous bacteria, grow in soil when conditions are damp and warm. When the soil dries out, the bacteria produces spores in the soil. The wetness and force of rainfall kick these tiny spores up into the air where the moisture after a rain acts as an aerosol (just like an aerosol air freshener). The moist air easily carries the spores to us so we breathe them in. These spores have a distinctive, earthy smell we often associate with rainfall. The bacteria is extremely common and can be found in areas all over the world, which accounts for the universality of this sweet "after-the-rain" smell. Since the bacteria thrives in moist soil but releases the spores once the soil dries out, the smell is most acute after a rain that follows a dry spell, although you'll notice it to some degree after most rainstorms.
Another sort of smell is caused by the acidity of rain. Because of chemicals in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be somewhat acidic, especially in urban environments. When it comes in contact with organic debris or chemicals on the ground, it can cause some particularly aromatic reactions. It breaks apart soil and releases minerals trapped inside, and it reacts with chemicals, such as gasoline, giving them a stronger smell. These reactions generally produce more unpleasant smells than bacteria spores, which is why the after-the-rain smell isn't always a good one. Like the smell caused by the bacteria spores, the smell of chemical reactions is most noticeable when it rains following a dry spell. This is because once the chemicals on the ground have been diluted by one downpour, they don't have the same reaction with the rainwater.
that's all.

good information to you all
Salam..how are you? i hope u fine..you know this fact??
read this..The Heaviest Building Ever Moved
Building 1: Fu Gang Building (15,140 tons)
When it comes to big moves, it's only a matter of time before a record is broken. The current record holder in the book of Guinness World Records for heaviest structure moved intact is a building in China. The Fu Gang building weighs in at 15,140 tons, or 33.3 million pounds. It had to be moved over about 118 feet (36 meters), and it took 11 days to move it [source: Guinness World Records]. As this writer doesn't speak Chinese and all of the research written on this building is in Chinese, it's difficult for her to tell you much else about this historic move. So let's just take a moment to appreciate again that the Chinese moved a building that weighed 15,140 tons. How long will it take to break the record? The big moves on this list show that it's only a matter of time and determination.
woo..that amazing..maybe we can ask for incredible hulk help..hihi..
thank you,

diet
salam..here has 3 Steps to a Healthier You
1. Follow a balanced exercise program. A brisk 30-minute walk while enjoying the sunset will burn 1,500 calories per week -- that's 78,000 calories a year! Cardio is great for your heart and lungs, but add a couple sessions of weight training to tone or build muscle.
2. Schedule family fitness time. Play basketball, chase a Frisbee, or hike the hills together. You'll be getting closer to each other as you shape up.
3. Invest in a jump rope. It's a great workout anytime. Set a goal of skipping rope for ten minutes per day and watch those love handles melt away.it's easy right?
so let's do it now!!

bird (dodo)
Salam, today I have read about Dodos.Dodos were flightless birds the size of large turkeys.
In 1598 a Dutch trading vessel landed on Mauritius and its sailors found that the birds were good to eat and easy to catch. With the introduction of hogs, cats, rats, and monkeys by colonists, who arrived in 1638, the dodo population was exterminated. The last living dodo was seen in 1681.
Solitaires, birds related to the dodo, lived on the nearby islands of Runion and Rodriguez. By 1800 they, too, had become extinct.
The dodo and the solitaires belonged to the family Raphidae. The dodo was Raphus cucullatus; the Runion Island solitaire, R. solitarius; the Rodriguez Island solitaire, Pezophaps solitaria.So, it now became Extinct Animals.
thank you,
