Brain Power Foods

You are what you eat. It means that foods play a very important role to enhance your ability to do some works. However, do you realise that foods also affected our brain power. Brain power is characterized by how alert, energetic, and concentrated your brain is in response to a task. Information in your brain passes through neurotransmitters, which are manufactured by the nerve cells using precursors. Different neurotransmitters will have different impacts on your brain activity. For example, serotonin is the calming neurotransmitter that usually makes you more relaxed, drowsy, and fuzzy-headed. While dopamine and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters that make you more alert, more attentive, motivated and mentally energetic. See, how do foods affected your brain power. So start from now, be wise on choosing your foods.

Windmill

Malaysia is not too popular about the uses of windmill. A windmill is a mechine that is powered by energy of the wind. It is designed to convert the energy of the wind into more useful forms using rotating blades or sails. The term also refers to the structure it is commonly built on. In much of Europe, windmills served originally to grind grain, through later applications included pumping water and more, more recently, generation of electricity. Recent electricity generating versions are reffered to as wind turbines. If do you want to look nearly, let's come to Malacca. It is located at opposite site of Malacca Stadhuys. It is big in size and beautiful created. If you're still confuse, just ring me when you're reaching in the Malacca and i'll bring you to the location. =)

Highest Waterfall of The World

If you are still remember about my presentation (About Me), i've mentioned that i like to look at scenery pictures. I like it because it gives me a sense of calmness. One of the most scenery i like to look at is the beautifulness of waterfall. When we are talking about waterfall, do you know what's the highest waterfall in the world? The title goes to Salto Angle Waterfall in Venezuela. It has 979 metres tall. At the lower part the waterfall is 150 metres wide. Europeans discovered the waterfall in 1935. Waterfall is named after James Angle - American adventurer, who had to make an emergency landing with his plane nearby in 1937. Imagine how tall it is. How about if an Olympic's athele jumps from the top of the waterfalls? Hahaha, it would be a miracle if he/she could just make a small splashing.. =p

Eggs

Variety kind of foods are using eggs as the main gradient such as egg tart, cakes, pancake and etc. However, do you know exactly about eggs that we eat? The eggs we eat are not fertilized. In other words, no baby chick is being formed in the egg. What remains are nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. People have collected and eaten eggs for thousands of years. Most of the eggs people eat now come from domesticated birds such as chickens. Eggs come in different sizes, colours, and grades. People in countries all over the world eat eggs. Hopefully this information can increase your knowledge about what do you eat actually..

Describe Your Friend?!

Once upon a time, there was a charming lecture called Miss Farah teaching her students in the dull rainy day. Suddenly, she gave a task for her students in their group to describe one of their friend.. Fuhhh, it was totally difficult to our group to choose who would be the victim. Let me tell you the truth, actually it was my class. Our group decided to choose Dhiyatul Ridhwan as person to describe about.. Hohoho!! There are lot of things we described about him such as he has an obvious widow's peak, sharp nose and etc. But the unforgotten description was about he is a hairy person.. Hehehe, so gorgeous!! =p

America's Unhealthiest Grocery Shoppers

Every week Americans head to the grocery store knowing what should fill their carts — fruits, vegetables and unprocessed foods packed with whole grains. Yet many end up walking out with bags full of sugary cookies, a couple of frozen meat lovers' pizzas and liters of soda. Are you like that too? Hopefully not.. This happens most in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington metro area, where shoppers spend 11.47 percent of their yearly grocery bill on unhealthy items (the national average is 8.5 percent). In second-place Richmond, Va., that number drops slightly, to 11.45 percent, and in Indianapolis and Carmel, Ind., No. 3 on our list, unhealthy items eat up 11.33 percent of a typical grocery shopper's bill. It is too bad to be that kind of shopper. As human we know what's good and what's not for ourselves. So, be wise when spending your money. Be a good consumer...

Sun

Maybe we are not realise that sun plays a very important role in this world. How about if there is no sun in this universe, exactly we will be enveloped by the darkness right. Sun is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass. One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across the Sun's disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths. How big is it! The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F). It is too hot to compare with what we get in the earth. So, let us imagine what would be happened if we are getting near to the sun? hehehe =p

Black Holes: Gravity's Relentless Pull

Black holes; something that brings us to think about the Almighty of Allah. I'm always wondering what would be happened to us if we are crossing inside black holes. When i was child, i always heard about that phenomenom. The things that i can't forget when they said if we are crossing inside black holes, we will be young again.. hahaha! is it true? Now, i would like to share with you guys what black holes is. Black holes are places where ordinary gravity has become so extreme that it overwhelms all other forces in the Universe. Once inside, nothing can escape a black hole's gravity-not even light. What would happen to us if we are get in inside it? No one knows..

History of Chocolates!

When we are talking about chocolate, exactly all the mouth of chocolate lovers will watery. So do i. But do you know the history beyond chocolate. The history starts when Cortez found the Aztec Indians using cocoa beans in the preparation of the royal drink of the realm "chocolatl", meaning warm liquid. In 1519, Emperor Montezuma, who reportedly drank 50 or more portions daily, served chocolatl to his Spanish guests in great golden goblets, treating it like a food for the gods. For all its regal importance, however, Montezuma's chocolatl was very bitter, and the Spaniards did not find it to their taste. To make the concoction more agreeable to Europeans, Cortez and his countrymen conceived of the idea of sweetening it with cane sugar. While they took chocolatl back to Spain, the idea found favor and the drink underwent several more changes with newly discovered spices, such as cinnamon and vanilla. So know, chocolate have been spread arond the world and let us to taste how delicious it is we enjoy today.

Dubai: A Gorgeous Metropolitan

If i've a lot of money, the 1st country that i would like to travel most is Dubai. I'm so fascinate with many places at there and really amaze with their architechture's design of their buildings. Dubai is situated on the Persian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates and is roughly at sea level(16 m/52 ft above). Dubai has approximately 250,000 labourers, mostly South Asian, working on real estate development projects such as the Dubai Marina. According to the census conducted by the Statistics Center of Dubai, the population of the emirate was 1,422,000 as of 2006, which included 1,073,000 males and 349,000 females. Besibes that Dubai has a diverse and multicultural society. Have you ever heard about the tallest tower in the world. Yeah, actually the title goes to Burj Tower of Dubai. The projected final height of Burj Dubai is officially being kept a secret due to competition from other buildings under construction or proposed. However, figures released by a contractor on the project have suggested a height of around 818 m (2,684 ft). How tall it is!! Hopefully Malysian architects can do such the tallest building to take back our title as the owner of tallest building in the world..

Make Your Workout Fun Again

Remember when you’d run around, climb trees, play games and get your exercise while enjoying every minute of it? Why not go back to playing for fitness? Join a softball team, go to the beach with friends and play Frisbee or walk/run along the beach. Take a long hike in the hills and stop for a picnic along the way. Make your exercise fun again. A weekend workout doesn’t have to be a 30 minutes run, 45 minutes on the treadmill or a spinning class. Go back to the days of getting, and staying fit “by accident” by incorporating it into your life, your family, your weekends. Think of swimming and running races, and long adventurous bike rides. Include your kids (or someone else's if you don't have any of your own at home) – they’ll remind you how to have fun with exercise. You'll enjoy it and get the advantages eventually.

Fat men are Dumber

Hahaha! is it true? To reveal it, University of Boston have done some reseach by studying over 1400 records from the Framingham Heart Study, which records the mental and physical records of those who went for regular check ups. reseachers found an interesting correlation between obesemen and lower mental agility, althought the same cannot be said for fat woman. "This might be due to the different way fatbis distributed around men and women," said Professor Merril Elias. People used to dismiss obesity as an independent risk factor with recognitive function, saying that if you took into account other factor like high blood pressure you wouldn't see the link. " Time to cut back on the roti canai, boys!"

Kids Get Hyper with Sweets

I like sweet very much. But do you know that kids get hyper with sweet!. To find out the true of that statement, University of Southampton (UK) made some research by giving over 250 3 years old and then 8 and 9 years old drinks without, before comparing their behaviour.
You'd think that this would lead to yet another statement of the blindingly obvious. Yet, Dr Jim Stevenson believes that the time and money has not been wasted. "The importance of our work is that effects have been found for 3 years old and for 8-9 years old children in general population, not just for those diagnosed with attention deficit hyperractivity disoder (ADHD)".
