How Smart Is Your Right Foot?
For those of you with some spare time in office...try it. Bet you will try it at least 50
times to see if you can outsmart your foot. Bet you can't!
1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand...your foot will change direction!
I told you so...and there is nothing you can do about it. Bet your friends won't believe this either!
Why is this so? Answer from Science Made Simple:
"The left side of your brain, which controls the right side of your body, is responsible for rhythm and timing. The left side of your brain cannot deal with operating two opposite movements at the same time and so it combines them into a single motion. Try this with your right foot and left hand and you should have no problem!"

MUST LEARN FROM THIS GUY.
An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who used to help him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.
====================
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up
garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love Dad
===============================
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad,
For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the BODIES.
Love Son
=========================
At 4am the next morning, F.B.I . agents and local police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
=================================
Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love Son
===========================
MORAL OF THE STORY
If you can't do it on your own ....... get HELP !!!!
Put your imagination in use and see the HELP come thru your creativeness

STROKE
STR OKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.
=========================
My good friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree.
This is simple and can save lives.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .....she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die.... they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
===================
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
There are easy "3" steps - STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke .
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.

So the CORRECT method, which you may or may not know, is to cook the

Subject: FOUR THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO
4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to
drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!"
THIRD Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.
FOURTH How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phon! e: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends

The Golden Hour
By: Brian Tracy
You become what you think about most of the time. And the most important
part of each day is what you think about at the beginning of that day.
Start Your Day Right
Take 30 minutes each morning to sit quietly and to reflect on your
goals. You'll find when you read the biographies and autobiographies of
successful men and women that almost everyone of them began their upward
trajectory to success when they begin getting up early in the morning
and spending time with themselves.
Feed Your Mind With Positive Ideas
This is called the Golden Hour. The first hour sets the tone for the
day. The things that you do in the first hour prepare your mind and set
you up for the entire day. During the first thirty to sixty minutes,
take time to think and review your plans for the future.
Use Your Quiet Time Effectively
Here are four things that you can do during that quiet time in the
morning. Number one is to review your plans for accomplishing your goals
and change your plans if necessary.
Number two is think of better ways to accomplish your goals. As an
exercise, assume that the way you're going about it is totally wrong and
imagine going about it totally differently. What would you do different
from what you're doing right now?
Number three, reflect on the valuable lessons that you have learned and
are learning as you move toward your goals.
Learn how to set goals and objectives, determine priorities, overcome
procrastination and gain two extra hours of productive time each day. I
will show you how successful people get more done and make more money
than others.
Set and achieve business goals; Determine your highest value tasks;
Overcome procrastination; Focus and concentrate on completion and
closure.
Practice Daily Visualization
Number four, calmly visualize your goal as a reality. Close your eyes,
relax, smile, and see your goal as though it were already a reality.
Rewrite your major goals everyday in the present tense. Rewrite them as
though they already existed. Write "I earn X dollars." "I have a net
worth of X." "I weigh a certain number of pounds." This exercise of
writing and rewriting your goals everyday is one of the most powerful
you will ever learn.
Fasten Your Seatbelt
Your life will start to take off at such a speed that you'll have to put
on your seatbelt. Remember, the starting point for achieving financial
success is the development of an attitude of unshakable confidence in
yourself and in your ability to reach your goals. Everything we've
talked about is a way of building up and developing your belief system
until you finally reach the point where you are absolutely convinced
that nothing can stop you from achieving what you set out to achieve.
Everything Counts
No one starts out with this kind of an attitude, but you can develop it
using the law of accumulation. Everything counts. No efforts are ever
lost. Every extraordinary accomplishment in the result of thousands of
ordinary accomplishments that no one recognizes or appreciates. The
greatest challenge of all is for you to concentrate your thinking
single-mindedly on your goal and by the law of attraction, you will, you
must inevitably draw into your life the people, circumstances and
opportunities you need to achieve your goals.
Become A Living Magnet
Once you've mastered yourself and your thinking, you will become a
living magnet for ideas and opportunities to become wealthy. It's worked
for me and for every successful person I know. It will work for you if
you'll begin today, now, this very minute, to think and talk about your
dreams and goals as though they were already a reality. When you change
your thinking, you will change your life. You will put yourself firmly
on the road to financial independence.

This is interesting. Got this from email.... dunno how substantiated the claims are...
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again .
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit.
It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulte blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassiumyetlow in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Rsearh has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest
ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nrvous sytem.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foodsevery twohours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking & Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and ma gnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress:SPAN lang=ENUS style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: rgb(194,0,255); FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in 'The New England Journal of Medicine, 'eating bananas as part f a regular det can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again .
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit.
It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulte blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassiumyetlow in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Rsearh has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest
ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

This extraordinary painting by little-known-Taiwanese artists Dai Dudu, Li Tiezi and Zhang An (who appear in the top right of the picture), which also features some Chinese communist leaders and poets little known outside Asia, has become the latest internet hit - with people fascinated by the challenge of trying to identify all 103 figures.
Completed in 2006, it is titled Discussing The Divine Comedy With Dante and seems to be a metaphor for our celebrity-obsessed world. So how many can you recognise?

Re: Trivials
So which "faith" are you ? God Views:
Animism - all natural objects are inhabited by spirits.
Polytheistic animism - only particular natural phenomena are linked with gods.
Polytheism - Multigods with their origins in animism.
Rational polytheism - a number of gods are actually a few gods of only a special gods
Dualism - one good and one evil god struggle
Interactive Monotheism - a single God that is interested in individuals on a daily basis.
Influential Monotheism - God only interacts at crisis moments with an individual.
Crisis Monotheism - God only interacts with people at key points in history.
Remote Monotheism - God exisits but very rarely interacts except in exceptional circumstances
Deism - God created the universe but takes no further part in mortal affairs.
Pantheisim - everything is god and god is everything.
Agnosticism - It is impossible to know if there is a God or not.
Rational Atheism - Rejection of God based on science or logical reasoning.
Skeptical Atheism - rejection of God based on personal belief "faith"
Atheism - outtright rejection of God
Philosophical Atheism - A failure to understand even the concept of God, religious beliefs are meaningless.

Re: Trivials
Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life.
Because of recent abductions
in daylight hours, refresh yourself
of these things to do
in an emergency situation...
This is for you,
and for you to share
with your wife,
your children,
everyone you know.
After reading these 9 crucial tips ,
forward them to someone you care about.
It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.
1 . Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point
on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM .
Toss it away from you....
chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet and/or purse than you,
and he will go for the wallet/purse...
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy.
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars
after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.)
DON'T DO THIS!
The predator will be watching you, and this
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.
If someone
is in the car
with a gun
to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead start the engine
and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you..
If the person is in the back seat
they will get the worst of it.
As soo n as the car crashes
get out and run.
It is better than having them find your body
in a remote location.
5 . A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking lot,
or parking garage:
A.) Be aware:
look around you,
look into your car,
at the passenger side floor ,
and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door .
Some serial killers attack their victims
by pulling them into their vans while the women
are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car
parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,
and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
and get someone -guard/policeman to walk you back out..
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
(Stairwells are horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times; And even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying
to be sympathetic:
STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS played
on the sympathy of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often
asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted
his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last,
and she called the police because it was late
and she thought it was weird.. The police told her
'Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door.'
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the street and get run over..
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone
dropped off a baby He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby's cries outside their doors
when they're home alone at night.
Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door
for a crying baby ----
The Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana

Re: Trivials
WHY EMPLOYEES LEAVE ORGANISATIONS ?
Azim Premji, CEO- Wipro
Every company faces the problem of people leaving the
company for better pay or profile.
Early this year, Mark, a senior software designer, got an
offer from a prestigious international firm to work in
its India operations developing specialized software. He
was thrilled by the offer.
He had heard a lot about the CEO. The salary was great.
The company had all the right systems in place
employee-friendly human resources (HR) policies, a
spanking new office,and the very best technology,even a
canteen that served superb food.
Twice Mark was sent abroad for training. "My learning
curve is the sharpest it's ever been," he said soon after
he joined.
Last week, less than eight months after he joined, Mark
walked out of the job.
Why did this talented employee leave ?
Arun quit for the same reason that drives many good
people away.
The answer lies in one of the largest studies undertaken
by the Gallup Organization. The study surveyed over a
million employees and 80,000 managers and was published
in a book called "First Break All The Rules".
It came up with this surprising finding:
If you're losing good people, look to their immediate
boss. Immediate boss is the reason people stay and thrive
in an organization. And he 's the reason why people
leave. When people leave they take knowledge,experience
and contacts with them, straight to the competition.
"People leave managers not companies," write the authors
Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.
Mostly manager drives people away?
HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find
humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an
employee may not leave,but a thought has been planted.
The second time, that thought gets strengthened. The
third time, he looks for another job.
When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by
passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing
down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more.
By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev
says: "If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get
him into trouble. You don 't have your heart and soul in
the job."
Different managers can stress out employees in different
ways - by being too controlling, too suspicious,too
pushy, too critical, but they forget that workers are not
fixed assets, they are free agents.
When this goes on too long, an employee will quit - often
over trivial issue.
Talented men leave. Dead wood doesn't

Re: Trivials
From email... Anyone tried the S&W brand of pineapples? So sweet it taste unreal! Amazingly sweet man!
-------------------------------------
Fresh Pineapple Has Many Benefits....
The pineapple is a member of the bromeliad family. It is extremely rare
that bromeliads produce edible fruit. The pineapple is the only available
edible bromeliad today. It is a multiple fruit. One pineapple is actually
made up of dozens of individual floweret's that grow together to form the
entire fruit. Each scale on a pineapple is evidence of a separate
flower.
Pineapples stop ripening the minute they are picked. No special way of
storing them will help ripen them further. Colour is relatively
unimportant in determining ripeness.
Choose your pineapple by smell. If it smells fresh, tropical and sweet,
it will be a good fruit. The more scales on the pineapple, the sweeter
and juicier the taste. After you cut off the top, you can plant it. It
should grow much like a sweet potato will. This delicious fruit is not
only sweet and tropical; it also offers many benefits to our health.
Pineapple is a remarkable fruit.. We find it enjoyable because of its
lush, sweet and exotic flavour, but it may also be one of the most
healthful foods available today. If we take a more detailed look at it,
we will find that pineapple is valuable for easing indigestion, arthritis
or sinusitis. The juice has an anthelmintic effect; it helps get rid of
intestinal worms.
Let's look at how pineapple affects other conditions.
Pineapple is high in manganese, a mineral that is critical to development
of strong bones and connective tissue. A cup of fresh pineapple will
give you nearly 75% of the recommended daily amount. It is particularly
helpful to older adults, whose bones tend to become brittle with age.
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme, is the key to pineapple's value.
Proteolytic means "breaks down protein", which is why pineapple is known
to be a digestive aid. It helps the body digest proteins more
efficiently.
Bromelain is also considered an effective anti-inflammatory. Regular
ingestion of at least one half cup of fresh pineapple daily is purported
to relieve painful joints common to osteoarthritis. It produces mild pain
relief. In Germany , bromelain is approved as a post-injury medication
because it is thought to reduce inflammation and swelling.
Orange juice is a popular liquid for those suffering from a cold because
it is high in Vitamin C. Fresh pineapple is not only high in this
vitamin, but because of the bromelain, it has the ability to reduce
mucous in the throat. If you have a cold with a productive cough, add
pineapple to your diet. It is commonly used in Europe as a
post-operative measure to cut mucous after certain sinus and throat
operations. Those individuals who eat fresh pineapple daily report fewer
sinus problems related to allergies. In and of itself, pineapple has a
very low risk for allergies.
Pineapple is also known to discourage blood clot development. This makes
it a valuable dietary addition for frequent fliers and others who may be
at risk for blood clots.
An old folk remedy for morning sickness is fresh pineapple juice. It
really works! Fresh juice and some nuts first thing in the morning often
make a difference. It's also good for a healthier mouth. The fresh juice
discourages plaque growth.

Einstein's Intelligence Quiz
Einstein wrote this quiz last century. He said that 98% of the people in the world cannot solve the quiz.
* There are 5 houses in 5 different colors
* In each house lives a person with a different nationality
* These 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet
* No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.
Here's the question: Who owns the fish?
1. The Brit lives in a red house
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets
3. The Dane drinks tea
4. The green house is on the left of the white house
5. The green house owner drinks coffee
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
8. The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house
10. The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer
13. The German smokes Prince
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water
With these 15 clues the problem is solvable.

A?mother is 21 years older than the child.
6 years from now the mother will be 5 times as old as the child.
Question : Where's the father right now ?
(25 Marks)
?Try first, before you check the
?answer below.
-- Whoever calculated this one must be one hell of a mathematician …….
Solution:
The mother is 21 years older than the child.
M = C + 21
In 6 years from now the mum will be 5 times as old as the child.
M + 6 = (C + 6) x 5
Hence,
C + 21 + 6 = (C + 6) x 5
C + 27 = 5C + 30
- 3 = 4C
C = - 3/4
The child is? - 3/4 years old, Minus 3/4 years, that is, it'll be born in 9 months.
Thus.. by mathematical deduction... .
Right now, the father is on top of the mother....
