Drinking Leads To Liver Problems

Mar 14

Posted by Michael Majid in Weird

According to the research it says that people who are over-weight and if they are obsessed with drinking can face many problems. Regarding their liver.The alcohol and the excess fat together react and end up with several diseases.

Alcohol consumption is linked to liver disease “liver cirrhosis”.

Cirrhosis is a condition in which the liver slowly deteriorates and malfunctions due to chronic injury. Scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue, partially blocking the flow of blood through the liver. Scarring also impairs the liver’s ability to

  • control infections
  • remove bacteria and toxins from the blood
  • process nutrients, hormones, and drugs
  • make proteins that regulate blood clotting
  • produce bile to help absorb fats—including cholesterol—and fat-soluble vitamins.

According to the estimate 20% of the liver cirrhosis is in middle aged women who are obese and drinkers.The second study followed more than 9,000 men in Scotland.The drinking rate is increasing  day by day.

They found that being overweight or obese increased the likelihood of developing liver cirrhosis.Cirrhosis is the result of long-term damage to the liver.

And it is well said”Prevention is always better than cure and our public health campaigns on drinking and obesity reflects this.”

Ways To Quit Smoking

Mar 14

Posted by Michael Majid in Entertainment, Mystery

As it is well said ” Where there is a will, there is a way”. And if your will of quit smoking is strong then you will automatically find ways to stop smoking. Smoking is not good for health.The fact of the matter is that you actually need a lot of drive to say good bye to smoking.

But the most effective way is your own will power. Nicotine has become an integral part of your life, the more you try to quit smoking, the more you find yourself drawn towards it. You are trying to dispel something with which you have been associated for so many years. Even the thought of leaving it requires a bulk of determination and will power.

Negative thought about quitting smoke exist in every smoker’s subconscious mind. You have to work on your mental condition to create a solid commitment towards quitting. You should make it a habit to take note of your every thought, feelings and comments that you make about smoking and smoking cessation plan.

Take note of the physical effects like headache, tight stomach, and tight chest. Think about the taste and smell that you are missing because of your smoking habit. Just think about the bliss of nature that you have to stay away from due o your bad habit.

Ultimately, it is your will power and determination which will help you lead a smoke free life throughout. So, think and build it up before it’s too late.

How The FaceBook Economy Is Increasing?

Mar 10

Posted by Michael Majid in Entertainment, Odd, Weird

Face book is known to be the world’s famous network all over the world.Many investors involved in face book.But there’s something else going on here. From the swathes of press releases and funding announcements I trawl through each day, it feels to me like we’re hearing much more recently about sites specifically and publicly built using Facebook as a platform. In many cases, they are almost entirely reliant on Facebook to provide their link to users.

But if so many people are pumping into companies that are almost entirely reliant on the world’s largest social networking  site, exactly how big is the economy around Facebook?

What other companies do you know that are reliant on Facebook? How big do you think the Face book economy really is? Stick any information you know in the comments - once we’ve got an idea how big this is, we can start thinking about whether it’s a viable ecosystem, a bubble or a house of cards.

We know from a number of reports and internal estimates that Face book itself is due to post some where upwards of $1bn in revenue for 2010 , but I’m more interested in what the other companies are doing.

Rising Earthquakes…

Mar 10

Posted by Michael Majid in Entertainment, Mystery

According to the research the number of earthquakes is increasing with in years. The recent earthquakes in haiti,chile and tukey has created a great loss.As it’s been said that more and more people live in quake prone areas, so the earthquake mostly hit the population areas.

They also say that where there is a big earthquake its more likely that in that place more earthquakes will occur.They named them  “after shocks.” The prediction tells that where the next earthquake can occur.

Some researchers are exploring the idea that melting ice and sea-level rise is changing the weight bearing down on faults, such that they might be more prone to making earthquakes. So far as I have seen this is in the realm of research, and an effect has not been solidly demonstrated.

effects of melting glaciers on volcanoes is also being studied. I am not aware of any way in which geomagnetic storms could affect earthquakes, and they would certainly have no effect on plate movements, as those are driven by slow motions in the earth’s deep mantle.

and we believe they were related through stress. When this is observed we refer to “earthquake triggering.”

There has been a lot of study of animals and earthquakes, and far more anecdotal reports of weird animal behavior, but nobody has yet managed to demonstrate a link.

During war, When  The United States faced the problem of pilots at that time some few female pilots were well trained and were ready to fly.It was 1942 The fly girls were trained for the military craft so that they could help the male pilots.

Women Air Force Service Pilots: this was named on the group of women pilots. An army air force,

Henry “Hap” Arnold said that he wasn’t sure that women could fly B-17 in bad weather but it was proved and it’s been recorded in the history that women can fly as well as men.

As part of Women Air force service pilots more than 1,100 young women, all civilian volunteers, they flew all types of air craft and were trained for that.

Lately, president Obama did something for the women air force service pilots, he signed a bill awarding congressional gold medal.

They say that during war, they flew 60 million miles air craft.That is indeed a dangerous job. They had to go through many ups and downs during their flights but they did it really well.

Years passed the women air force service pilots ended and sealed, and the information for the people who wrote on world war II couldn’t find anything in history it was sealed.

But unlike the other stories, the stories of women air force service pilots was rarely told until the 1970’s.
