Giuliano Stroe has been lifting weights and learning gymnastics since he was two-years-old in Florence, Italy where his family lived. They now live again in Romania. In 2009, he was <span style="font-weight: bold;">recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records</span> after setting the record for the fastest ever ten metre (33 feet) hand-walk with a weight ball between his legs. Stroe performed the stunt in front of a cheering live audience on an Italian TV Show, and has become an Internet sensation as hundreds of thousands of people have watched the clip of him performing the stunt on YouTube. On February 24, 2010 he broke the world record for number of 'air push-ups'; 'which is an exercise where push-ups are performed without letting your feet touch the ground. Stroe managed 20 'air push ups' beating his previous record of 12, live on Romanian TV. Giuliano's father Iulian, 33-years-old, said he has been taking Giuliano with him to the gym ever since he was born, but he is careful not to push Giuliano too hard. Stroe insists his son's workout schedule isn't excessive. "He is never allowed to practice on his own, he is only a child and if he gets tired we go and play," Iulian said.<br /><br />You tube videos:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqbyVAiL3gU<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd_OSqgyII8<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7RpouRAu2M<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-925He1FQfY<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihBveAmabkMSaurabh Kautilya Guptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00823819073848027467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235980979522437418.post-41863339690475346382011-01-03T03:39:00.000-08:002011-01-21T01:43:48.004-08:00Cutaneous Horn or Cornu Cutaneum are skin tumors with the appearance of animal horns<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cutaneous horns</span></span>, also known by the Latin name <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >cornu cutaneum</span>, are unusual keratinous <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">skin tumors with the appearance of <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">animal horns</span></span></span>, or sometimes of wood or coral.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg05zl6QD5jbfi6I74e4ja1-KTS5pq65ApAatzfJNpr5pu9ylSh61bp3QXuSQ-buKVoxnx_XlmlMyNITTex1l3pzYaGtRQr-xPUiPnj08Ne-CYemhMftiOfMV4STs0RGZVQUISNLtd4b1U/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg05zl6QD5jbfi6I74e4ja1-KTS5pq65ApAatzfJNpr5pu9ylSh61bp3QXuSQ-buKVoxnx_XlmlMyNITTex1l3pzYaGtRQr-xPUiPnj08Ne-CYemhMftiOfMV4STs0RGZVQUISNLtd4b1U/s400/untitled.bmp" alt="Cutaneous Horn or Cornu Cutaneum are skin tumors with the appearance of animal horns" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354928144329030066" border="0" /></a></div><br />They are usually small and localized, but <span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">can in very rare cases be much larger.</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgukX4Vqqy5VgEbzOrJ-5qmv9nLgP60kiPhBFktxfNnPPu9zBgweVhJOQYm5uKzw0bsK69AD-2Tw-_kA53GoWOAKXLdrxmef7XwarZke4MmXjw132_Pa8nDi1uk3TzHj_6XPLc66RValG0/s1600-h/11f1.jpeg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgukX4Vqqy5VgEbzOrJ-5qmv9nLgP60kiPhBFktxfNnPPu9zBgweVhJOQYm5uKzw0bsK69AD-2Tw-_kA53GoWOAKXLdrxmef7XwarZke4MmXjw132_Pa8nDi1uk3TzHj_6XPLc66RValG0/s400/11f1.jpeg" alt="Cutaneous Horn or Cornu Cutaneum are skin tumors with the appearance of animal horns" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354931609389044098" border="0" /></a></div><br />Although<span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"> often benign, they can also be malignant or premalignant</span></span>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ-2N1gbEsqKdauvA8Abl1OEXmqAJtihZgZth6DT5S_UmL7Pp60tvCTVh9p8f_n7rF4cNXzKKXlEB-2wXy7huXdpLpP1o9NU7HVkUNgg65citBVBYHuxSZM5CDOP6I6UUGofkrYRqV9RM/s1600-h/horn03.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 238px; height: 350px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ-2N1gbEsqKdauvA8Abl1OEXmqAJtihZgZth6DT5S_UmL7Pp60tvCTVh9p8f_n7rF4cNXzKKXlEB-2wXy7huXdpLpP1o9NU7HVkUNgg65citBVBYHuxSZM5CDOP6I6UUGofkrYRqV9RM/s400/horn03.jpg" alt="Cutaneous Horn or Cornu Cutaneum are skin tumors with the appearance of animal horns" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354931614326003666" border="0" /></a></div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" ><br />The cause</span> of cutaneous horns is <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">still unknown</span></span>, however it is believed that exposure to radiation can trigger the condition.

Avner, whose parents were of Huron and Lakota heritage, states that altering oneself to resemble one's own totem is an ancient Huron tradition. The former Navy sonar technician who currently works as a computer programmer took on the name Stalking Cat and began his modifications after a discussion with a Native chief who reportedly inspired him to 'follow the ways of the tiger'. As a result of his unusual appearance, Stalking Cat has attained local celebrity status and frequently travels to attend interviews and photo sessions. Stalking Cat has been featured on Ripley's Believe It or Not!, Larry King Live, VH1's "Totally Obsessed", Kerrang! Radio's "The Night Before", he has also been interviewed on the BBC Choice program, "Anna in Wonderland" episode 6x30, and other television and radio shows. Many of Stalking Cat's body modifications have been performed by Arizona based artist Steve Haworth. The first artist to begin the extensive tattoo work on Dennis's face was Larry Hanks of San Diego in 1985. He also tattooed scales on him and at this time Stalking Cat was referred to as "Cat Fish" although not by choice.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" >*********************************</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Erik Sprague</span> (born June 12, 1972, Fort Campbell, KY ) better known as The <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lizardman</span></span>, is a freak show and sideshow performer, best known for his body modification, including his sharpened teeth, full-body tattoo of green scales, bifurcated tongue, and recently, green-inked lips.

The embryo was a fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or umbilical cord. </li></ul> <ul><li>In October, 2008, a doctor in the USA removed a brain tumor that consisted of a foot and other body parts. This may have been a case of fetus in fetu or it may have been a teratoma.</li></ul> <ul><li>At some date during 2005 to 2008, an 8-pound, 13-inch baby, Waylan Kleinman, was born with a small abdominal mass. Two days after he was born, Waylan was operated on. Surgeons soon discovered a small orange-sized fetus that was documented as actually showing movement on ultrasound, a first for a fetus in fetu.</li></ul><span style="font-size:85%;">A fetus in fetu can be considered alive, but only in the sense that its component tissues have not yet died or been eliminated. Thus, the life of a fetus in fetu is inherently limited to that of an invasive tumor. In principle, its cells must have some degree of normal metabolic activity to have remained viable. However, without the gestational conditions in utero with the amnion and placenta, a fetus in fetu can develop into, at best, an especially well differentiated teratoma; or, at worst, a high-grade metastatic teratocarcinoma. In terms of physical maturation, its organs have a working blood supply from the host, but all cases of fetus in fetu present critical defects, such as no functional brain, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, or urinary tract. Accordingly, while a fetus in fetu can share select morphological features with a normal fetus, it has no prospect of any life outside of the host twin. Moreover, it poses clear threats to the life of the host twin on whom its own life depends.<br /></span>Saurabh Kautilya Guptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00823819073848027467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235980979522437418.post-23764351872029117022010-12-30T05:36:00.000-08:002011-01-21T01:48:57.129-08:00Guinness World Records for longest fingernails - Lee Redmond & Shridhar Chillal<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1TDOOxP77iIkSjMaGoNbFeUWo57lGK7xxLCaBqcyzOBm-dSaUsvZ_qC8wQvxmC6bcqs7a_cQ3LMIRZWTi8xHB5LUYNHoFb-uJ3gCdD7bSAsxZlzEvy-9iInIW-_WQZszq6aMVOSLswk/s1600-h/fingernails.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1TDOOxP77iIkSjMaGoNbFeUWo57lGK7xxLCaBqcyzOBm-dSaUsvZ_qC8wQvxmC6bcqs7a_cQ3LMIRZWTi8xHB5LUYNHoFb-uJ3gCdD7bSAsxZlzEvy-9iInIW-_WQZszq6aMVOSLswk/s400/fingernails.gif" alt="Guinness World Records longest fingernails Lee Redmond Shridhar Chillal" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354954511481425394" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lee Redmond </span></span>(born February 2, 1941) holds the record in the <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Guinness World Records for longest fingernails on both hands.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikl_R_c2KddVEwoorTaMMEWz-Jhlk3IaQticQIim3iVGJ9zYkKgWLYSf37XrT2GXBUNlLHcwCYAXnRfJ7HbBp1J-81az_jZvWNpa3lZQJVS27pRc8pbYWBf4WIWrxJK-iInVQ1mcRhRms/s1600-h/0b0a79b7-8937-4d83-97fc-50f11ad2bca5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikl_R_c2KddVEwoorTaMMEWz-Jhlk3IaQticQIim3iVGJ9zYkKgWLYSf37XrT2GXBUNlLHcwCYAXnRfJ7HbBp1J-81az_jZvWNpa3lZQJVS27pRc8pbYWBf4WIWrxJK-iInVQ1mcRhRms/s400/0b0a79b7-8937-4d83-97fc-50f11ad2bca5.jpg" alt="Guinness World Records longest fingernails Lee Redmond Shridhar Chillal" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354954505963297154" border="0" /></a></div><br />She lives in Salt Lake City, Utah.

And, unlike most other anti-impotency treatments, it’s not a pill, but a spray, allowing it to work immediately. It improves sexual response by three times among men and women.” Doctor Nakamatsu explains that understanding the difference between Love Jet and other treatments isn’t all that hard. “There’s a hormone, often used in the United States, called DHEA, which is frequently prescribed as an impotency treatment alternative to Viagra,” he says. “DHEA levels markedly drop at around 25 years old, but a spray of Love Jet increases levels by three times. It doesn’t just work on erections, but also slows down the aging process.” This is more than a cheap attempt to “sex up” Brainsturbator—I mention the Love Jet because it’s such a beautiful window into weirdness of Dr. NakaMats. You see, a single bottle of Love Jet costs 30,000 Yen, which translates to a little under $250. However, manufacturing a single bottle of Love Jet costs over 80,000 Yen, which translates to a loss of over $400 per bottle. To any CEO on Earth, then, Love Jet is an insane waste of time. To our man Yoshiro, however, this $400 hemmorage is a perfecly sane investment. As we already know, Nakamatsu operates from a different perspective. he further quotes “Love Jet is not about money. Japan’s biggest problem is not this economic slump we’re in now, but the low birthrate. GDP growth relates closely to population. In 50 years time, we’ll be looking at a country half as strong as it is now. I want to save Japan from a crisis, so Love Jet is a labor of love.”<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZhs2Dk2Dm9edZSXUpygns78Qhy5hQOitwB0S7ULePnqVwQEubvVg8_zgSiv0-1qYxNqaER1-ABn9yao3KCa2WpyJjNwGc1IQn8AZpCHa07iIyE6pi0VlxBFRPMN8BlJAlVj7tPaw-1BY/s1600-h/Yoshiro+Nakamatsu+.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZhs2Dk2Dm9edZSXUpygns78Qhy5hQOitwB0S7ULePnqVwQEubvVg8_zgSiv0-1qYxNqaER1-ABn9yao3KCa2WpyJjNwGc1IQn8AZpCHa07iIyE6pi0VlxBFRPMN8BlJAlVj7tPaw-1BY/s400/Yoshiro+Nakamatsu+.jpg" alt="Yoshiro Nakamatsu NakaMats Japanese inventor" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357552343011663554" border="0" /></a></div><strong></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>He <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">sleeps <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">4</span></span> hours a night</span></span>.

I’ve marketed them as Yummy Nutri Brain Food. They are very helpful to the brain’s thinking process. They are a special mixture of dried shrimp, seaweed, cheese, yogurt, eel, eggs, beef, and chicken livers—all fortified with vitamins.”<br /><br />Nakamatsu also takes regular power naps, and he’s invented a device to enhance that, too. It’s called the Cereberex chair, and according to Dr. NakaMats “it improves memory, math skills, and creativity, and it can lower blood pressure, improve eyesight, and cure other ailments.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6CN4j1W6fFeuA0i7q0UjvOTXMrUuyRQXd6Juj6A24C9Hvri4KMVnW0TMj15WnMwIc3m_eIVWeRQdmCM0CRA1jzLLHZLR5DEh37m0iaXeC-gnyetLptYv9gYvGd1MFtSuHhnbk18Be0iU/s1600-h/nakamats_chair2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6CN4j1W6fFeuA0i7q0UjvOTXMrUuyRQXd6Juj6A24C9Hvri4KMVnW0TMj15WnMwIc3m_eIVWeRQdmCM0CRA1jzLLHZLR5DEh37m0iaXeC-gnyetLptYv9gYvGd1MFtSuHhnbk18Be0iU/s400/nakamats_chair2.jpg" alt="Yoshiro Nakamatsu NakaMats Japanese inventor" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357545942843262850" border="0" /></a></div><br />Special sound frequencies pulse from footrest to headrest, stimulating blood circulation and increasing synaptic activity in the brain.

A spokesman for IBM said that the company has an "ongoing relationship" with Nakamatsu, and, in another media report, said that the company owns the legal patent to the floppy disk and that it reached several nonexclusive patent agreements with Nakamatsu in the late 1970s to avoid conflicts. Nakamatsu has appeared on several American TV shows, including Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and Late Night with David Letterman. He also appeared on the BBC show Adam and Joe Go Tokyo. In 2007, Nakamatsu became a candidate in the 2007 gubernatorial election in Tokyo, and also ran for the Upper House election, but failed to get a seat.

And how does this affect creativity?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />One method is memorization. We teach our kids to memorize until the age of twenty, for we have discovered that the human brain needs memorization up to that point. Then young people can begin free-associating, putting everything together. That's how geniuses are formed. If a child doesn't learn how to memorize effectively, he doesn't reach his full potential.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />So you feel that creativity comes from a balance of regimentation and freedom?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Yes, but freedom is most important of all. Genius lies in developing complete and perfect freedom within a human being. Only then can a person come up with the best ideas.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />We have a difficult time in this country because we don't allow ourselves that kind of freedom. We have what we call the Protestant work ethic that says, "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again." To me, trying too hard stifles creativity.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />That's unfortunate. It's crucial to be able to find the time and the freedom to develop your best ideas.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />Then tell me about your routine to spark creativity. I've heard that you come up with ideas underwater!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Yes, that's part of a three-step process. When developing ideas, the first rule is You have to be calm. So I've created what I call my "static" room. It's a place of peace and quiet. In this room, I only have natural things: a rock garden, natural running water, plants, a five-ton boulder from Kyoto. The walls are white. I can look out on the Tokyo skyline, but in the room there is no metal or concrete-only natural things like water and rock and wood.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />So you go into your "static" room to meditate?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />No, just the opposite! I go into the room to free-associate. It's what you must do before meditating, before focusing on one thing. I just throw out ideas-I let my mind wander where it will.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />I call that "naive incubation."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Yes, it's my time to let my mind be free. Then I go into my "dynamic" room, which is just the opposite of my "static" room. The "dynamic" room is dark, with black-and-white-striped walls, leather furniture, and special audio and video equipment. I've created speakers with frequencies between 12 and 40,000 hertz-which, you can imagine, are quite powerful. I start out listening to jazz, then change to what you call "easy listening," and always end with Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. For me, Beethoven's Fifth is good music for conclusions.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />And finally you go to your swimming pool...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Exactly-the final stage. I have a special way of holding my breath and swimming underwater-that's when I come up with my best ideas. I've created a Plexiglas writing pad so that I can stay underwater and record these ideas. I call it "creative swimming."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />That seems to fit very well with the strategy I teach in my creativity workshops: discover and use your "idea-friendly times."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Yes, but in doing this, you must prepare your body. You can only eat the best foods. You cannot drink alcohol.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />I've heard that you've come up with your own "brain food."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Yes, these are snacks I've invented, which I eat during the day. I've marketed them as Yummy Nutri Brain Food. They are very helpful to the brain's thinking process. They are a special mixture of dried shrimp, seaweed, cheese, yogurt, eel, eggs, beef, and chicken livers-all fortified with vitamins.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />How many people-technicians, researchers, and assistants-do you employ to help with your inventions?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />In all, I have 110 employees.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />And what exactly do they do?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />They work with my ideas, make prototypes, and give other assistance with details.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />Do you come up with ideas at night?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />I come up with ideas anytime! I only sleep four hours a night.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />That's interesting-that's very similar to Thomas Edison. Do you take naps like he did?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Yes. Twice a day I take thirty-minute naps in a special chair I've designed-the Cerebrex chair. It improves memory, math skills, and creativity, and it can lower blood pressure, improve eyesight, and cure other ailments.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />How does the Cerebrex work?<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Special sound frequencies pulse from footrest to headrest, stimulating blood circulation and increasing synaptic activity in the brain. An hour in my chair refreshes the brain as much as eight hours of sleep.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />So, like Edison, you're awake most of the time. Do you agree with Edison's claim that ideas are 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />No, now it's just the opposite! Now it's 1 percent perspiration and 99 percent "ikispiration." Now, more than ever, we have to have ikispiration. This means I encourage myself to go through my three elements of creation: suji, the theory of knowledge; pika, inspiration; and iki, practicality, feasibility, and marketability. In order to be successful, you must go through all three stages and make sure that your ideas stand up to all of them, which is ikispiration. Also, these days, the computer saves time and cuts out the 99 percent perspiration.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />Do you find that most American research-and-development firms take themselves through your three stages?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Most are very thorough with suji, or theory, but don't concentrate on the iki, marketability. Hardest of all, of course, is pika, the creative inspiration. Researchers often have trouble with pika because they're too focused on one particular element. A genius must be a well-rounded person, familiar with many things: art, music, science, sports. He or she can't be restricted to only one field of expertise.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />Well, you certainly appear to practice what you preach. You know so much about music, about art, about sports.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />That's what genius is, when you're able to discuss, and to be good at, many things. As much as I enjoy hearing about the things you [Chic] have invented during your chemistry career, about your teaching, about your video programs, I'm most fascinated by the fact that a person who can be a chemist and a teacher and a speaker can also be a cartoonist. And at such a young age!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />Well, people do kid me about looking young, but I could say the same thing about you.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />That comes from eating the right foods and participating in the right athletics. Certain activities I believe aren't good for creativity. To be creative, you must have perfect freedom. Sports like jogging, tennis, and golf, I don't believe, are conducive to the brain waves for creativity.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />Hmmmm. I'd really like to see your research on that, because I know a lot of people who feel they come up with their ideas when they go out jogging. Maybe, for Americans, because we don't allow ourselves to have perfect freedom at work, we can get part of the way there by jogging or golfing-that's the only time we give ourselves permission to be free enough to come up with new ideas.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Maybe so, but they won't be your best ideas-you're not at your peak creative performance if you have to use athletics or techniques to get your ideas. It's only when you have perfect freedom that your best ideas come out.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />What are some of your suggestions to American executives on ways to become more creative?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />I'd like to see the work ethic in the United States more geared to creativity. We need more creative people and more creative leaders. Governments as a whole must learn to be more creative. I've just written a book called The Invention of Government.<br /><br />I'm trying to show that through the creative process, governments-not just individuals-can be more innovative. Among my goals right now are working in political reform in Japan and improving our relationship with the United States.<br /><br />I want Americans and others to understand that many of the perceived barriers between nations-trade barriers, cultural barriers-aren't as strong as people think they are. It's just that we don't understand each other as well as we should, and that means we must become more open with each other.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />In that regard, I'm very impressed by your openness to discuss and to spend so many hours with me. So many people in the United States who have one or two good ideas don't share them with anyone. They're afraid that people are going to steal them. And here you've opened up an International Genius Convention-for everyone to display their ideas.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />No, so let's invent a product together. What would you buy today if it were available?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />I'd buy a recording device, about the size of a credit card, that could fit in my shirt pocket. Every time I had a flash of an idea, I could just record it. It would be voice-activated, with a very large memory, and have a voice-activated filing system for idea management.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />What would you call it?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />I'd call it "Flash"- because it would just be flashes of ideas, which you could then download onto a computer system.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Very good.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />[He then gave me a ten-minute education on micro technology and a grilling on what I thought of the idea's market potential.]<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />This will be our first product together, so when I get home, I'll turn it over to my research department.Let me thank you. You seem to have the ability to network and to learn from others all the time.That's what it takes to succeed. And, for every meeting, I like to keep a visual record. That's why my wife has been taking pictures and recording our conversation on the camcorder. When something is on video, I can go back and reference the face and the voice, not just written notes. Now, would you please type in your name?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />Excuse me?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />Type in your name on this infrared recorder, and it will appear directly on the photographs that we took, along with today's date.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chic:</span><br />I've never seen anything like this!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nakamatsu:</span><br />I know.

Every month I give a lecture where I teach spirit, creativity and many other things. We also sing a song about the spirit of invention being LOVE.<br /><br />Oh! I’ve heard the Dr.NakaMats song!<br />Drinks for thought, “Yummy Nutri Brain Foods”, exercise, singing songs or using your Cerebrex chair (which is supposed to improve the brain capability by increasing your blood circulation through electricity)… All these inventions should help you to get smarter. Special sound frequencies pulse from footrest to headrest, stimulating your blood circulation and increasing the synaptic activity in the brain. Apparently one hour in the Cerebrex chair refreshes the brain equally to eight hours of sleep. Dr. Nakamats takes a nap in it every day.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">But is there anyone you consider close to becoming the next Dr. Nakamats? The next genius? Your sons maybe?</span><br /><br />No. Invention is very difficult.<br /><br />A friend of mine has seen some students wearing your flying shoes on a campus in the US and you wore them on stage yourself when House of Pain played “jump around” in Japan.

In 1975, after becoming heavily involved in the Tamil movement, he carried out the first major political murder by a Tamil militant group, assassinating the mayor of Jaffna, Alfred Duraiappah, by shooting him at point-blank range when he was about to enter the Hindu temple at Ponnaalai. The assassination was in response to the 1974 Tamil conference incident, for which the Tamil radicals had blamed Duraiappah, because he backed the then ruling Sri Lanka Freedom Party.

An exception is the series version (such as the episode "Armed and Defenseless," which examines the effect of military malfunctions due to lack of human oversight). The program does not mention artificial satellites, spacecraft, or human artifacts on the moon or on other bodies in the solar system, most notably the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes, the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes, and the Mars rovers like Spirit and Opportunity. However, the Voyager probes, weather satellites and the International Space Station were addressed in the series version. Although these artifacts would, in theory, last indefinitely (barring meteoric impact), the series posits that meteoric impact would, in fact, significantly degrade the Voyager probes while the ISS and weather satellites would succumb in the Earth's atmosphere after a decaying orbit. The documentary film does not refer to the fate of certain human-made, durable, and non-biodegradable materials (and potential artifacts) like plastic, styrofoam, ceramic, marble, glass, and unreactive metal. Once again, these are addressed in the series version, which posits that it will take as many as thousands of years for polymer materials to degrade after exposure to UV rays. The special also does not mention radioactive waste and its impact on the "after-people" environment.<br /><span><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWeK1ERPq-y5dlRgNHG1la9a67fhhiQ8k4LpTg2XO8Mm40LGHp3wcInkDEO2qkXKK54N2DV3bqAA1xVPdjerv6XJn12D6xdd8MHO-p89ikKGz0-b-irecgX7raBj9MJIcx3UcKewYeE8U/s400/History_Life_After_People_Ep102_Image_002.jpg" alt="Plants animals Die Life Future Population Zero" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354878373597141410" border="0" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span>A 10-part television series with the same premise, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >Life After People: The Series</span>, premiered on April 21, 2009, on the History Channel.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUKSgKYjnxuYnM-9xnyrHlvmKWO7u4WahraE1ynZLw_sHyGCEYi0PNkKvmrV2zbIrOphKBwvYZ0iiutwxQFi9DwH1LRGO3Dw8qyuOhnK_wLhF2plRMXFronV10KtxzGHNpgmiBTiWJQns/s1600-h/logo.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 42px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUKSgKYjnxuYnM-9xnyrHlvmKWO7u4WahraE1ynZLw_sHyGCEYi0PNkKvmrV2zbIrOphKBwvYZ0iiutwxQFi9DwH1LRGO3Dw8qyuOhnK_wLhF2plRMXFronV10KtxzGHNpgmiBTiWJQns/s400/logo.png" alt="Plants animals Die Life Future Population Zero" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354888157266883698" border="0" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >Aftermath: Population Zero</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" > (also titled</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" > Aftermath: The World After Humans</span>) is a two-hour American special documentary film that premiered on Sunday, March 9, 2008 (at 8:00 PM ET/PT) on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">National Geographic Channel</span>.

It also shows that humans have disappeared instantly, not a few at a time. Both series depicts the possible fates of famous pieces of infrastructure and buildings. It, too, uses CGI dramatizations to depict the possible fate of such icons as the Statue of Liberty and, in both programs, the Eiffel Tower and Hoover Dam. However, it does not emphasize this as much as Life After People does, following much more closely the effects on the natural world and its recovery after mankind departs the scene.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvp_UImThmLlvrf-IdJ6x1l0LU3psu90tom5sLTf0dwkkbr7X_Bgz3zwHg9kPVWLqJjuzAcfxiQw6pdIq5qWa9bh5Sw_rBCcuQo3-Vhhps-nvsxY4UuIGIG-x2V4qwa7lHn4PqR5_cvU/s1600-h/3225_aftermath-3_04700300.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 255px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvp_UImThmLlvrf-IdJ6x1l0LU3psu90tom5sLTf0dwkkbr7X_Bgz3zwHg9kPVWLqJjuzAcfxiQw6pdIq5qWa9bh5Sw_rBCcuQo3-Vhhps-nvsxY4UuIGIG-x2V4qwa7lHn4PqR5_cvU/s400/3225_aftermath-3_04700300.jpg" alt="Plants animals Die Life Future Population Zero" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354888145603855570" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXSq5ZIokm3a7oIyDOszd3ORT2g88ArqdDOfRYUFZZ1_FecdQ6DWGoeBHuTeBMO5JcXvQX9eZEmRNHSCgRitJQND7uadct4Grb8Z4K3u3AcAsr5o44QM8K0rEuBHf0L6lIotmLD1ByRGA/s1600-h/3225_aftermath-2_04700300.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 255px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXSq5ZIokm3a7oIyDOszd3ORT2g88ArqdDOfRYUFZZ1_FecdQ6DWGoeBHuTeBMO5JcXvQX9eZEmRNHSCgRitJQND7uadct4Grb8Z4K3u3AcAsr5o44QM8K0rEuBHf0L6lIotmLD1ByRGA/s400/3225_aftermath-2_04700300.jpg" alt="Plants animals Die Life Future Population Zero" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354888138888474434" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4wqMlhAwpJiH8_sXFQTIOGAqi2McVptj_3utcgJP-KmBGO1LsZMda2q_x0yUznS9LmwGMhufUkfCpXGmcQjos_8kabMZ7Re3ddg_w7nXtLtEfe41jZgxs_FKUxTHZeGvCe37Pkcgb6ZQ/s1600-h/3225_aftermath-1_04700300.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 255px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4wqMlhAwpJiH8_sXFQTIOGAqi2McVptj_3utcgJP-KmBGO1LsZMda2q_x0yUznS9LmwGMhufUkfCpXGmcQjos_8kabMZ7Re3ddg_w7nXtLtEfe41jZgxs_FKUxTHZeGvCe37Pkcgb6ZQ/s400/3225_aftermath-1_04700300.jpg" alt="Plants animals Die Life Future Population Zero" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354888138471632114" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwH3ptCEdRc2x288NT9Hoc2kK31oVWJ0F3qNFRHlaa04_eWvhyphenhyphenvGoUpJQw66eLzp06JwHnTFF97BW5oAREp2V9NoOu3t3mM8JOOoYEJTO9xLa4ef-t7eT5yKJRfsSfkWDBoRJJEZ7Pmqw/s1600-h/3225_aftermath-4_04700300.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 255px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwH3ptCEdRc2x288NT9Hoc2kK31oVWJ0F3qNFRHlaa04_eWvhyphenhyphenvGoUpJQw66eLzp06JwHnTFF97BW5oAREp2V9NoOu3t3mM8JOOoYEJTO9xLa4ef-t7eT5yKJRfsSfkWDBoRJJEZ7Pmqw/s400/3225_aftermath-4_04700300.jpg" alt="Plants animals Die Life Future Population Zero" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354888153985736306" border="0" /></a></div><br /></div>In addition, unlike Life After People, Aftermath depicts what would happen if various modes of transportation—such as automobiles, planes, and trains—are abandoned in mid-motion when their passengers and operators instantly disappear, not unlike the Rapture in Christian eschatology. Life After People does not show what would happen to these vehicles left in motion.<br />Also, Aftermath shows what would happen if a nuclear power plant's spent fuel rods are left without the cooling equipment governing its condition. Life After People suggest that nuclear power plants would safely shut down with no ill effects with no mention of what would happen to spent fuel rods in storage. Aftermath also shows that the nuclear power plants themselves would shut down without incident, but the spent fuel rod storage in separate buildings would eventually blow up and spread radiation into the air and the surrounding countryside after the backup safety devices fail, due to lack of fuel a few days after the main power plant supplying power shutdown. Life After People also does not mention the release of poisonous gas from chemical plants when their safety features fail, lacking the fuel to run them. Life After People does however talk about the Hoover Dam still generating power after people, but neither show talks about the things powered by batteries and solar power. Aftermath does not talk about the International Space Station. Life After People does not mention the moon, however in one of it's miniseries' episodes, a satellite is mentioned.

Despite these encounters, Robert Wadlow was never confined to a wheelchair.

He continued participating in various tours and public appearances. On July 4, 1940, while making a professional appearance at the National Forest Festival, a faulty brace irritated his ankle, causing a blister and subsequent infection. Doctors treated him with a blood transfusion and emergency surgery, but his condition worsened and on July 15, 1940, he died in his sleep. <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">He was 22 at the time of his death on 15th July of 1940</span></span>.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRHnzzKv1q2NC0AD4P770kmVvaeXKwxdt85je6bivD42ZJvAJP7T9pFP5p8cA5lQdcm9Rj1D09s9srcYhuzQqZEX2x7RkGTW4q8NKJNgL_U-fFkgARD1i-ZbDFO69lGRzGShcBD_VoZac/s400/Robert+Wadlow+2.png" alt="Alton Giant Robert Pershing Wadlow Tallest Man" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351330481653567378" border="0" /><br />at age of 10</p> <p>An estimated 40,000 people attended Wadlow's funeral on July 19.

It was believed that Wadlow's family were concerned for the sanctity of his body after his death, and went to these lengths of security to ensure it would never be disturbed or stolen.

"Fear and anxiety levels have to go down for orgasm. From an evolutionary point of view, it could be that the brain switches off the emotions during sex because at such times the chance to produce offspring becomes more important than the survival risk to the individual. Gert Holstege of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>points to the extraordinary behavior seen in some animals during the breeding season, such as March hares, when the urge to mate seems to override the usual fear of predators. "At the moment of orgasm, women do not have any emotional feelings," says Gert.<br /><br />The most important factor in falling in - and out - of love is dopamine. <span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Dopamine</span></span> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"></span> is the neurochemical that activates your reward circuitry.

Whether it’s sex, eating, taking risks, achieving goals, or drinking water, all increase dopamine, and dopamine turns on your reward circuit. You can think of dopamine as the "I’ve got to have it" neurochemical, whatever "it" is. It’s the "craving" neurochemical. The more dopamine you release and the more your reward circuit is activated, the more "reward" you experience. A good example is food. We get a much bigger blast of dopamine eating high-calorie foods than we do low-calorie foods. It’s why we choose chocolate cake over Brussels sprouts. Our reward circuit is programmed so that "calories equal survival." You’re not actually craving ice cream, or a winning lotto ticket, or even a romp in the sack. You’re craving the dopamine that is released with these activities. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dopamine is your major motivation</span>, not the item or activity. Addiction mechanisms are complex, yet the one aspect they share is dopamine. <span style="font-weight: bold;">All addictive drugs and all addictions increase dopamine</span>; that is why they are addictive. Porn, accumulating money, gaining power over others, gambling, compulsive shopping, video games…if something really boosts your dopamine, then it’s potentially addictive for you. Why did Martha Stewart risk everything for more money? She got a thrill from a stock market gamble, and that gave her more dopamine. She didn’t need the money. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjryJEHUfZO3f6kGiHhB8Ld8HL2KUet5Y3pP2Ht4oRh43Rbq_qQNfDjNrOrkSGNX03VrIRVYqvgd7mzfMZvV1XYaWsYl11MperV2eQa4vImddkKWFSrHNbKg0aWRpGvHEB6STiHPPNbMbs/s1600-h/orgasm.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 228px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjryJEHUfZO3f6kGiHhB8Ld8HL2KUet5Y3pP2Ht4oRh43Rbq_qQNfDjNrOrkSGNX03VrIRVYqvgd7mzfMZvV1XYaWsYl11MperV2eQa4vImddkKWFSrHNbKg0aWRpGvHEB6STiHPPNbMbs/s400/orgasm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403518940849180850" border="0" /></a><br />Meg Ryan in film "When Harry Met Sally..." getting orgasm<br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Orgasms and addictions have two things in common. They both produce an initial pleasurable experience, and both are followed by an <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" >unpleasant hangover</span>. </span>The sexual satiation (orgasm) hangover is innate. It can be such a subtle part of you that you do not connect the dots - unless you switch to making love without it for several weeks, and then go back to sex with orgasm. "What goes up must come down." It’s simple biology; <span style="font-weight: bold;">body systems must return to balance</span>, or homeostasis. What goes up and down in this case is your dopamine. That can play havoc with your mood and the way in which you perceive, and treat, your partner. At orgasm, dopamine drops like a lead balloon, and we lose interest, at least temporarily. However, if dopamine’s not kept in check, it could rapidly shoot up again and we’d be back in the sack. Biology’s mission is now to stop us from screwing around and place our attention elsewhere - like on hunting and gathering, feeding the babies, going to our job, taking out the trash and so forth.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0K-rKHRHLpNeOHebxEKSh88hsPhcrtcNn49ZTjFqkHNtvEObUepN7VEEXJE1Xu1buVm7uqjicKFTOyhyZN46BU7VmEBRXK67ToJv-WMrUjOMg-sIbj0DACuZfPWTF1KjXfqZMmJ7k0Iw/s1600-h/drug-addiction.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0K-rKHRHLpNeOHebxEKSh88hsPhcrtcNn49ZTjFqkHNtvEObUepN7VEEXJE1Xu1buVm7uqjicKFTOyhyZN46BU7VmEBRXK67ToJv-WMrUjOMg-sIbj0DACuZfPWTF1KjXfqZMmJ7k0Iw/s400/drug-addiction.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403520501017418674" border="0" /></a><br />drug addiction<br /></div><br />Suppressing dopamine is so important that nature uses an additional neurochemical to curtail our sexual desire. It’s called <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:180%;" >prolactin</span>. If dopamine is the "foot on the gas," then prolactin is the "foot on the brake." Although research hasn’t shown how long prolactin surges continue in humans after sex, in female rats, twice daily surges of prolactin continue for up to two weeks. This may help to explain how great sex last week could lead to relationship friction now. And it’s no wonder we don’t make the link between cause and effect.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">To summarize thus far,</span> orgasm leads to a drop in dopamine and a rise in prolactin. Both of these lead to multiple behavioral and emotional symptoms, which, in our experience, can arise over the next two weeks. During this time, behavior may change for the worse. More importantly, lovers' perception of each other can shift dramatically for the worse. If we feel depleted, our partner will seem overly demanding; if we feel needy, our partner will seem selfish and uncaring. Bickering and emotional separation then lead to further friction. Of course, few people ever avoid orgasm for two weeks. Most of us ride this roller coaster over and over, never really experiencing balanced brain chemistry - or the easy harmony that accompanies it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinobt4oO09gJaezu4coq5k53t5nknjObLDP7_ymfZJGjVBSBskO0-hJ6LUCVlvpXNP_rBiLIrU_zgQemZKF_qPoYe1lVoYp3Oee6VVrZJ8cI1Lzg4Heng2a0LkNzfOawM-6Vczhl2NtZc/s1600-h/love1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 333px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinobt4oO09gJaezu4coq5k53t5nknjObLDP7_ymfZJGjVBSBskO0-hJ6LUCVlvpXNP_rBiLIrU_zgQemZKF_qPoYe1lVoYp3Oee6VVrZJ8cI1Lzg4Heng2a0LkNzfOawM-6Vczhl2NtZc/s400/love1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403518923097020706" border="0" /></a><br />love<br /></div><br />Orgasm’s high dopamine/low dopamine pattern actually encourages addictions of many kinds because people attempt to use artificial means to manipulate their dopamine levels. Think about it. Most addictions kick in during teen years, when we become sexually active. A recent Columbia University study found that sexually active teens use more drugs. One might think social factors alone lead to this correlation between drugs and sex, but when scientists studied hamsters, they found that sexually-active hamsters were much more susceptible to amphetamine addiction than their virgin counterparts. This research brings us to another observation. Children, or pre-teens have yet to activate this dopamine roller coaster, and they possess a cheerful, optimistic enthusiasm for the simplest activities. Perhaps this is due to balanced dopamine.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE9_mB3WMxiYqvsnF2QZV5efkIGS_FZiw5hVCT0_BqEF3oPhKnJ_7TUoVAoUHLpCBKqG2elSyo26EDhsnWazMbm9y0lSeJWTWnU4VYC0TocJgGbUAha8AzBgVMMVP17uZptAvQ7J-3nsI/s1600-h/love3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 323px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE9_mB3WMxiYqvsnF2QZV5efkIGS_FZiw5hVCT0_BqEF3oPhKnJ_7TUoVAoUHLpCBKqG2elSyo26EDhsnWazMbm9y0lSeJWTWnU4VYC0TocJgGbUAha8AzBgVMMVP17uZptAvQ7J-3nsI/s400/love3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403518930423582930" border="0" /></a><br />friendship<br /></div><br />Falling in love is associated with a soup of neurochemicals - like adrenaline, which makes your heart race, and, as we have mentioned, dopamine, which makes you crave your beloved. But the heartwarming, loving, "gushy" aspects of love are due to <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">oxytocin</span></span>. It is the "unconditional love" hormone associated with nurturing and generous affection. Oxytocin's main evolutionary function is to bond us to our children for life. It also serves to bond us to our mate…at least long enough to produce a child and (if we're lucky) get it on its feet.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigFl73ZVF45rZgr3_GM4QGMSP7XRp8xxQs-4R85zJ2k7C7zZ0Q6uD9QcxJEMfUqp3VCLoJmcvYWcXFyZPolILhvjFj9J0sMZgdkcDk4Y-CLubLN_uY5obTkKx_WwS6Qcqqw01uiZkJmpw/s1600-h/oxytoxin.bmp"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigFl73ZVF45rZgr3_GM4QGMSP7XRp8xxQs-4R85zJ2k7C7zZ0Q6uD9QcxJEMfUqp3VCLoJmcvYWcXFyZPolILhvjFj9J0sMZgdkcDk4Y-CLubLN_uY5obTkKx_WwS6Qcqqw01uiZkJmpw/s400/oxytoxin.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403481060022455810" border="0" /></a></div><br />Friendships are also built on oxytocin, and can be quite deep bonds. If scientists block either oxytocin or dopamine, mothers will ignore their pups. As sexual satiation plays havoc with dopamine, lovers can end up with negative effect on their precious emotional bonds. Low dopamine alone interferes with feelings of love, and it may reduce oxytocin levels or the brain's sensitivity to oxytocin. As things go sour, something interferes with oxytocin's bonding effects. It's likely that it's low dopamine.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrFMmQoUlrkLeubZdndtGXS6Yv8zo2uHmyLuBePkS_W9lsTqg48rfgcA7ID5V4ZoQRHfJo5JbdHLPIvuxpWxcnpQUtBq-MfYYXNTEIRdeVt9w6yTYympioAFeulFEuWXV3sf-SEHiiyUA/s1600-h/sex.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrFMmQoUlrkLeubZdndtGXS6Yv8zo2uHmyLuBePkS_W9lsTqg48rfgcA7ID5V4ZoQRHfJo5JbdHLPIvuxpWxcnpQUtBq-MfYYXNTEIRdeVt9w6yTYympioAFeulFEuWXV3sf-SEHiiyUA/s400/sex.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403521720311867314" border="0" /></a><br />making love<br /></div><br />The good news is that making love while <span style="font-weight: bold;">avoiding sexual satiation is the loophole in biology’s plan for our love lives</span>. This is the secret that the ancient sacred-sexuality sages stumbled upon. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Making love with lots of affection, without the dopamine-driven highs and lows of conventional sex, seems to keep neurochemical levels balanced</span>. The more oxytocin you produce, the more receptive you are to it. This is the opposite of dopamine. Addicts need more and more of a drug, which, of course, actually means they need more and more dopamine. Luckily you don’t need an ever-increasing "fix" of oxytocin to maintain the same gushy feeling. In fact, your partner just looks better and better - at least to you. This is why this practice can strengthen your bond with your mate.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7DIz-LCS23b5oG9O3msYA2VwL3fOMLdMvgTvOZa3lgZmOrz35oU69BT2xG7qV5SBg0JOVYUeleHqh_IvZ1YEQnrgzdV-D-MTiO87i0T_ofJ9ED5uziYv5UcBlDPD0wvDPY45i0708cqQ/s1600-h/craving+chocolate.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7DIz-LCS23b5oG9O3msYA2VwL3fOMLdMvgTvOZa3lgZmOrz35oU69BT2xG7qV5SBg0JOVYUeleHqh_IvZ1YEQnrgzdV-D-MTiO87i0T_ofJ9ED5uziYv5UcBlDPD0wvDPY45i0708cqQ/s400/craving+chocolate.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403522895597174194" border="0" /></a><br />craving for chocolate<br /></div><br />This quality of oxytocin explains why companionship can increase longevity - even among those who are HIV positive. Or speed recovery: wounded hamsters heal twice as fast when they are paired with a sibling, rather than left in isolation. It may also explain why, among various species of primates, care-giving parents (whether male or female) live significantly longer. Oxytocin increases sexual receptivity and counteracts impotence, which may be one reason why this other way of making love remains pleasurable. Again, notice that oxytocin reduces cravings and increases sexual receptivity. This allows making love without orgasm to be surprisingly satisfying. The affection is always there, flowing between you and your partner. When we tiptoe around dopamine’s highs and lows, we encourage balance and clear perception of each other. We see each other as sources of safety and pleasure, not as sources of stress. The real magic of love happens at a neurochemical level - and we can choose balance in order to foil the extremes of Mother Nature's plan. Sex is only an addiction when it causes problems similar to those found in any other type of addiction, whether it be gambling, drugs, skydiving, etc. For example, if the desire to have sex takes up so much time that you don't do things you have to do - you get fired from your job, you neglect the kids, etc. It also may be an addiction if you have sex in risky ways (unprotected, in semi-public areas) that you KNOW are harmful but do anyway. "An addiction is a recurring compulsion to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences to the individual's health, mental state or social life. The term is often reserved for drug, alcohol and nicotine addictions but is also applied to other compulsions such as compulsive overeating or sex with orgasm.

In breastfeeding, the act of an infant suckling the nipple stimulates the production of prolactin, which fills the breast with milk via a process called lactogenesis, in preparation for the next feed. Oxytocin, another hormone, is also released, which triggers milk let-down.<br /><br />**<span style="font-weight: bold;">Oxytocin (sold as Pitocin, Syntocinon)</span> is a mammalian hormone that also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain.It is best known for its roles in female reproduction: it is released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and vagina during labor, and after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating birth and breastfeeding, respectively. Recent studies have begun to investigate oxytocin's role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, trust, love, and maternal behaviors.<br /><br />***<span style="font-weight: bold;">Dopamine</span> is a neurotransmitter occurring in a wide variety of animals, including both vertebrates and invertebrates. In the brain, this phenethylamine functions as a neurotransmitter, activating the five types of dopamine receptors — D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5, and their variants. Dopamine is produced in several areas of the brain, including the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area.[1] Dopamine is also a neurohormone released by the hypothalamus. Its main function as a hormone is to inhibit the release of prolactin from the anterior lobe of the pituitary.Dopamine can be supplied as a medication that acts on the sympathetic nervous system, producing effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. However, because dopamine cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, dopamine given as a drug does not directly affect the central nervous system. To increase the amount of dopamine in the brains of patients with diseases such as Parkinson's disease and dopa-responsive dystonia, L-DOPA, which is the precursor of dopamine, can be given because it can cross the blood-brain barrier.Saurabh Kautilya Guptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00823819073848027467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235980979522437418.post-89588928100263074292010-11-18T00:01:00.000-08:002011-01-21T02:13:06.733-08:00World's largest single banknote is of 100000 Peso by Philippines government<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >Length = <span style="font-weight: bold;">1.5 foot</span><br />Amount = <span style="font-weight: bold;">100000</span><br />Currency = <span style="font-weight: bold;">Peso</span><br />Country = <span style="font-weight: bold;">Philippines</span><br />Year = <span style="font-weight: bold;">1998</span><br />Current Cost = <span style="font-weight: bold;">3700 US Dollars</span></span><br /><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 326px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp9CAS54qTzSdSAiO1QWmzQxH63-TnbRrLqoInuMVduK-NgKnE42p3bGmHJakrRoJTwknzzbT-4cPzjU6H6fG2pCmrKmG_B1VtSSA4Sqls7Vnu1ppV8vhGHZoBJZqhJbS9b7suMszyuxs/s400/100000+peso+-+longest+note.jpg" alt="largest single banknote 100000 Peso Philippines government" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540796989079192626" border="0" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">It was designed to celebrate a century of Philippines' independence from Spanish rule.</div>Saurabh Kautilya Guptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00823819073848027467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235980979522437418.post-35254386654012974702010-11-05T01:56:00.000-07:002011-01-21T02:14:32.209-08:00how to fart & earn money ?

He was one of five children of François (a stonemason and sculptor) and Rose Pujol. Soon after he left school he had a strange experience while swimming in the sea. He put his head under the water and held his breath, whereupon he felt an icy cold penetrating his rear. He ran ashore in fright and was amazed to see water pouring from his anus. A doctor assured him that there was nothing to worry about. When he joined the army he told his fellow soldiers about his special ability, and repeated it for their amusement, sucking up water from a pan into his rectum and then projecting it through his anus up to several yards. He then found that he could suck in air as well. Although a baker by profession, Pujol would entertain his customers by imitating musical instruments, and claim to be playing them behind the counter. Pujol decided to try his talent on the stage, and debuted in Marseille in 1887. After his act proved successful, he proceeded to Paris, where he took the act to the Moulin Rouge in 1892. Some of the highlights of his stage act involved sound effects of cannon fire and thunderstorms, as well as playing 'O Sole Mio and La Marseillaise on an ocarina through a rubber tube in his anus. He could also blow out a candle from several yards away. His audience included Edward, Prince of Wales, King Leopold II of the Belgians and Sigmund Freud. In 1894, the managers of the Moulin Rouge sued Pujol for an impromptu exhibition he gave to aid a friend struggling with economic difficulties. For the measly sum of 3,000 francs (Pujol's usual fee being 20,000 francs per show), the Moulin Rouge lost their star attraction, who proceeded to set up his own traveling show called the Theatre Pompadour. In the following decade Pujol tried to 'refine' and make his acts 'gentler'; one of his favourite numbers became a rhyme about a farm which he himself composed, and which he punctuated with the usual anal renditions of the animals' sounds. The climax of his act however involved him farting his impression of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. With the outbreak of World War I, Pujol, horrified by the inhumanity of the conflict, retired from the stage and returned to his bakery in Marseille. Later he opened a biscuit factory in Toulon. He died in 1945, aged 88, and was buried in the cemetery of La Valette-du-Var, where his grave can still be seen today. The Sorbonne offered his family a large sum of money to study his body after his death, but they refused the offer.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlNdYhJbYMqB1DM40akVzxbxNiIXMg-QVTqcyt3Wd_jGvbJQ-swl2x_qbrwIKiS69jbil6yEdWr-8NjZyMJAu35LOGiR7Bs5-dwG6GcoQEGFTu3RR17huU96vArfMtGThIazgsodkmJEc/s1600-h/petomane.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlNdYhJbYMqB1DM40akVzxbxNiIXMg-QVTqcyt3Wd_jGvbJQ-swl2x_qbrwIKiS69jbil6yEdWr-8NjZyMJAu35LOGiR7Bs5-dwG6GcoQEGFTu3RR17huU96vArfMtGThIazgsodkmJEc/s400/petomane.jpg" alt="Paul Oldfield Le Pétomane Fart Flatulist Fartist professional Farter" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354904783125821026" border="0" /></a><br />Le Pétomane's advertisement<br /></div></div></div><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >Paul Oldfield</span>, born in Macclesfield, Cheshire, North West England, is better known by his stage name <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Mr. Methane</span></span>.

(2003), a BBC book on British variety acts, Oldfield discovered his ability at the age of fifteen when practicing yoga. The next day he performed twenty rapid fire rasping farts in under a minute for a group of his friends. It became so popular he made it into a regular event. At this time he did not become a professional, but instead started working for British Rail, eventually getting promoted to Train Driver. The word of his odorous ability spread. In the late 1980s he was transferred to the Buxton motive power depot in Derbyshire. There he met a driver called Paul Genders who played in a Macclesfield based soul/blues cover band called The Screaming Beavers. Paul invited Mr. Methane to perform as a guest artist. The audience loved his performance, and he decided to try it as a career.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0cM0sQqKR-CcxrIJlDubH2hawHUY7d21m4aByKUHhiFJ3fmtyH1SKMKDjjAsht77RnoqwNGUkAI3Xv0AQBO7jEqXLV86_GuK0k5o1Z-tfurkh4Q0JkUOD0Z7Z3ZcJqk04G4dGOhWiN6g/s1600-h/6a00b8ea07533e1bc000d4142bc9f43c7f-500pi.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 296px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0cM0sQqKR-CcxrIJlDubH2hawHUY7d21m4aByKUHhiFJ3fmtyH1SKMKDjjAsht77RnoqwNGUkAI3Xv0AQBO7jEqXLV86_GuK0k5o1Z-tfurkh4Q0JkUOD0Z7Z3ZcJqk04G4dGOhWiN6g/s400/6a00b8ea07533e1bc000d4142bc9f43c7f-500pi.jpg" alt="Paul Oldfield Le Pétomane Fart Flatulist Fartist professional Farter" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354904773318798946" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Visit him at: <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">http//www.mrmethane.com/</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">On stage, he wears a bright green-and-purple skin-tight costume with cape and mask, looking like a superhero.

Saint Augustine in City of God (De Civitate Dei) (14.24) mentions some performers who did have "such command of their bowels, that they can break wind continuously at will, so as to produce the effect of singing." Juan Luis Vives in his 1522 commentary to Augustine's work, testifies to having himself witnessed such a feat, a remark referenced by Michel de Montaigne in an essay. The professional farters of medieval Ireland were called braigetori. They are listed together with other performers and musicians in the 12th century Tech Midchúarda, a diagram of the banqueting hall of Tara. As entertainers, these braigetori ranked at the lower end of a scale headed by bards, fili and harpers. The peordh rune of the Anglo-Saxon futhorc has been suggested to be named after the fart based on the rune poem stanza,[citation needed] which translates to "[a fart?] is a source of recreation and amusement to the great, where warriors sit blithely together in the banqueting-hall." Another widely accepted interpretation links the name to pearwood, suggesting that the poem aludes to a recorder or similar wind instrument, since pearwood is traditionally used to carve such musical instruments. One late medieval flatulist is mentioned in an entry in the 13th century English Liber Feodorum (Book of Fees). It lists one Roland the Farter, who held Hemingstone manor in the county of Suffolk, for which he was obliged to perform "Unum saltum et siffletum et unum bumbulum" (one jump, one whistle, and one fart) annually at the court of king Henry II every Christmas. But professional farting no longer seems to be restricted to the aristocracy. The Activa Vita character in the 14th century allegorical poem Piers Plowman appears to number farting among the abilities desirable in a good entertainer in general, paralleling with storytelling, fiddling, or playing the harp. This poem translates to "As for me, I can neither drum nor trumpet, nor tell jokes, nor fart amusingly at parties, nor play the harp." Evidence of deliberate farting at social occasions continues into the Modern Age. In the 16th century, Rabelais details how Panurge when getting up, gave "a fart, a leap, and a whistle, and joyously cried out 'Long live Pantagruel!"[citation needed] Pantagruel so addressed immediately intends to respond in like fashion, but miserably soils himself in the attempt. Panurge's salute is closely paralleled by the obligation of Roland the Farter detailed above.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">professional farting is a sub genere of </span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 0);font-size:180%;" >Toilet humour, or scatological humour</span></span>, which inturn is a type of off-colour <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">humour dealing with defecation, urination, flatulence, vomiting</span> and other bodily functions. Public reference to bodily functions is taboo in many cultures. This genre also sees substantial crossover with sexual humour, such as penis jokes. Toilet humour is popular among children and teenagers, and despite being toned down to remove some of the more erotic components, it is still often seen as a rejection of taboos, and is a part of modern culture.<br /></div></div>Saurabh Kautilya Guptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00823819073848027467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235980979522437418.post-85650218334249588822010-10-28T03:49:00.000-07:002011-01-21T02:15:40.470-08:00Baxter Humby is the only man in the world to win world titles with only one hand<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ6qJOnRW2AEj9L-uyfcZMz_J2cJmtEt3vScd18gw06LDj8dveuEe6e9ozMYhM6nkxphuDWH0A1S3KJjpTlTJlgYZH2XIsJ6rtftDAaJ9Tb3CUzZo1J3aRJk-9I9h0Ya1_r0H3W1oI/s1600/Baxter_Humby.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ6qJOnRW2AEj9L-uyfcZMz_J2cJmtEt3vScd18gw06LDj8dveuEe6e9ozMYhM6nkxphuDWH0A1S3KJjpTlTJlgYZH2XIsJ6rtftDAaJ9Tb3CUzZo1J3aRJk-9I9h0Ya1_r0H3W1oI/s400/Baxter_Humby.jpg" alt="Baxter Humby world titles boxing one hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467734061501862594" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Baxter Humby</span><br /></div><br />Baxter Humby was born in Winnipeg, Canada, in 1974 & is <span style="font-weight: bold;">known as "<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-size: 130%;">The One Armed Bandit</span>" </span>because he has no right hand [It was amputated at birth, just below his elbow, after becoming entangled with the umbilical cord.]<br /><br />Baxter is the current IMTC (International Muay Thai Council) <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">World Super Welterweight Champion</span></span>.

Monogamy arose through the concentration of considerable wealth in one hand-a man’s hand -and from the endeavour to bequeath this wealth to the childrens of the man to the exclusion of all others. This necessiated monogamy on the women , but not on the man’s part. Hence monogamy of women is no way hindered open or secret polygamy of men.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;">Now the impending social revolution will reduce this whole case of inheritance to a minimum by changing at least the over whelming part of permanent and inheritable wealth --- the means of production -- into social property .

Philanthropy as a substitute for justice - he would have none of it. Charity is twice cursed - it harden him that gives and soften him that takes. It does more harm to the poor than exploitaton , because it makes them willing to be exploited .<b> </b>It breads slavishness which is moral suicide.

It is not for better wages, improved capialist conditions or a share of capitalist profits that the Socialist movement is in the world; it is here for the abolition or wages and profits and for the end of capitalism and private capital. Reformed political institutions boards of arbitration between capital and labour ,philanthropies and privilages that are but the capitalist’s gifts- none of these can much longer answer the question that is making the temples ,thrones and Parliments of the nation tremble. There can be no peace between the man who is down and the man who builds on his back. There can be no reconcilliation between classes; there can only be end of classes.

The leaders exerted all their strength in order to paralys the movement. Their motive was "Patriotism"; the affair was occuring at the time of the Agadir incident which thretened to lead to war with Germany. As is well known today, the Premier summoned the workers’ leaders to a secret council , and called them to salvation of he fatherland.

It is thousand times more so in war and revolution. Things can be done today that cannot be done tomorrow. To raise in arms to defeat the enemy , to seize power, may be possible today and tomorrow may be impossible. But, you will say , to seize power means changing the course of history; is it possible that such a thing can depend on a delay of 24 hours? Even so, when it comes to an armed insurrection, events are not measured by long yards of politics but by short yards of war. To lose a few weeks , a few days , sometimes even one day , may mean giving up the revolution , may mean capitulation. </span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Political cunning is always dangerous , especially in a revolution .

"I myself am surprised by my extraordinary ability although in several days I will be celebrating my 77th birthday," he told reporters after completing the act at a charity home for disabled children here. A television station from Thailand recorded Liew's achievement.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljAXdH7566-x-uUnohVEc4eFj5UE5Xf-9-JFxc7IQpvIFmGDFLwGtUR2Zwc_hF_RDMHPAwpDXGeUELPwrmvMWhIPnW7qsvGWnqNtoewiSK4wjMy-EZj54xO6P4CzMAj203qzSiDDpRwI/s1600-h/Liew+Thow+Lin+3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljAXdH7566-x-uUnohVEc4eFj5UE5Xf-9-JFxc7IQpvIFmGDFLwGtUR2Zwc_hF_RDMHPAwpDXGeUELPwrmvMWhIPnW7qsvGWnqNtoewiSK4wjMy-EZj54xO6P4CzMAj203qzSiDDpRwI/s400/Liew+Thow+Lin+3.jpg" alt="Liew Thow Lin ability to stick metal objects Magnetic Man" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348393454746846914" border="0" /></a><br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Liew Thow Lin pulling a 10.6-tonne bus using only his body's "magnetic force"<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Liew began to make headlines at the age of 60 after making various household appliances made of steel stick without any aid. At today's event, his friend, Tan Kok Thai, 78, from Gunung Rapat here also lifted various objects including stones weighing 33 kilogrammes that stuck to his body. Previously, Tan made it to the Malaysia Book of Records after lifting objects weighing 102.9 kilogrammes even though his own weight is only 61 kilogrammes. Tan said that he realised that his body had magnetic force four years ago and besides steel, wood could also stick to his body. According to newspaper reports, a group of professors from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia had found that Liew's magnetic force was not due to magnet or electricity but because his skin had extraordinary sucking force.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92sNGXCtcmKTOpGk24m3KQvwaBo2MCAayFXxXYIrGregcKeLa9W9gM7clcTKgxD1IU-Yx3MCzq4NN3a-hitOOgh2sn5poF8ragRG6tosVR3iHH1eRkalE8r57YwLwscMCMLxi1TIluQM/s1600-h/Liew+Thow+Lin+5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 169px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92sNGXCtcmKTOpGk24m3KQvwaBo2MCAayFXxXYIrGregcKeLa9W9gM7clcTKgxD1IU-Yx3MCzq4NN3a-hitOOgh2sn5poF8ragRG6tosVR3iHH1eRkalE8r57YwLwscMCMLxi1TIluQM/s400/Liew+Thow+Lin+5.jpg" alt="Liew Thow Lin ability to stick metal objects Magnetic Man" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348393460823275650" border="0" /></a><br />Malaysia's 'Magnetic Man' Uses Power To Pull Car<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">On 1st November 2008, used an iron chain hooked to an iron plate on his midriff to pull the car for a length of 20m. “I plan to have the feat recorded in the Malaysian Book of Records and also Guiness Book of World Records,” he told reporters after demonstrating his feat to visitors who attended the Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta Karnival Bahagia 2001 in Tanjung Rambutan near here yesterday.Liew, from Gunung Rapat here, said that so far, his demonstrations only involved carrying bricks weighing as much as 9kg supported by an iron bar attached to his torso.He said he discovered his ability 10 years ago after reading an article about a family in Taiwan who possessed such power.“After reading the article, I took several iron objects and put them at my abdomen.“To my surprise, all the objects including an iron, stuck on my skin and did not fall down,” he said.He said the “gift’’ was also present in three of his sons and two grandchildren.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">However, he noted that the magnetic power did not attract iron objects unless they were brought near his body.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4n3jYJeL9-1a6AxovpE8yrRlMsyQtFoR7oZ6xVeuk7l6cMBESi7Ad5fbCbQ4B2osk3JeKgdoMHjgTD3hrmUDNySu0ggTs-0JxlB_jOnwZNYVXADgRd4tnKtrJ-szNwr5hub6YhYcoIq0/s1600-h/Liew+Thow+Lin+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 231px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4n3jYJeL9-1a6AxovpE8yrRlMsyQtFoR7oZ6xVeuk7l6cMBESi7Ad5fbCbQ4B2osk3JeKgdoMHjgTD3hrmUDNySu0ggTs-0JxlB_jOnwZNYVXADgRd4tnKtrJ-szNwr5hub6YhYcoIq0/s400/Liew+Thow+Lin+2.jpg" alt="Liew Thow Lin ability to stick metal objects Magnetic Man" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348393449689820290" border="0" /></a></p></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-size:130%;">P.S.</span> The trait appears to be genetic, appearing in Lin's three sons and two grandchildren.
