Knowledge / Test taking Tips« on: June 23, 2010, 01:11:58 AM »
Here are the top ten tips to success!
1. Have a Positive Attitude Approach the big test as you'd approach a giant jigsaw puzzle. It might be tough, but you can do it! A positive attitude goes a long way toward success. 2. Make a Plan The week before the test, ask your teacher what the test is going to cover. Is it from the textbook only? Class notes? Can you use your calculator? If you've been absent, talk to friends about material you may have missed. Make a list of the most important topics to be covered and use that as a guide when you study. Circle items that you know will require extra time. Be sure to plan extra time to study the most challenging topics. 3. The Night Before Cramming doesn't work. If you've followed a study plan, the night before the test you should do a quick review and get to bed early. Remember, your brain and body need sleep to function well, so don't stay up late! 4. The Morning of the Test Did you know that you think better when you have a full stomach? So don't skip breakfast the morning of the test. Get to school early and do a ten-minute power study right before the test, so your brain is turned on and tuned up. 5. Test Time Before the test begins, make sure you have everything you'll need - scratch paper, extra pencils, your calculator (if you're allowed to use it). Understand how the test is scored: Do you lose points for incorrect answers? Or is it better to make guesses when you're not sure of the answer? Read the instructions! You want to make sure you are marking answers correctly. 6. Manage Your Time Scan through the test quickly before starting. Answering the easy questions first can be a time saver and a confidence builder. Plus, it saves more time in the end for you to focus on the hard stuff. 7. I'm Stuck! Those tricky problems can knock you off balance. Don't get worried or frustrated. Reread the question to make sure you understand it, and then try to solve it the best way you know how. If you're still stuck, circle it and move on. You can come back to it later. What if you have no idea about the answer? Review your options and make the best guess you can, but only if you don't lose points for wrong answers. 8. Multiple-Choice Questions The process of elimination can help you choose the correct answer in a multiple-choice question. Start by crossing off the answers that couldn't be right. Then spend your time focusing on the possible correct choices before selecting your answer. 9. Neatness Counts If your 4s look like 9s, it could be a problem. Be sure that your writing is legible and that you erase your mistakes. For machine-scored tests, fill in the spaces carefully. 10. I'm Done! Not so fast - when you complete the last item on the test, remember that you're not done yet. First, check the clock and go back to review your answers, making sure that you didn't make any careless mistakes (such as putting the right answer in the wrong place or skipping a question). Spend the last remaining minutes going over the hardest problems before you turn in your test. 23
Shayari / Happy Fathers day.... to dear dad« on: June 20, 2010, 12:38:45 AM »A Dad is a person who is loving and kind, And often he knows what you have on your mind. He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends. A dad can be one of your very best friends! He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong, A dad can be patient and helpful and strong In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part. There's always a place for him deep in your heart. And each year that passes, you're even more glad, More grateful and proud just to call him your dad! Thank you, Dad... for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but, especially, for just being you! Happy Father's Day Luv u Dad!

News Khabran / Ludhiana Teenager offered a position in NASA« on: June 05, 2010, 02:09:01 PM »
Ludhiana, June 4
Ludhiana teenager gives push to human lifespan. Humans will soon be able to live 10-15 years more than their normal lifespan, courtesy Parteek Bajwa (17) of Ludhiana. Parteek Bajwa with a certificate from the Guinness Book of World Records. He has done a detailed research on the subject and his study’s outcome has been corroborated by NASA. Parteek has also achieved a rare distinction of figuring in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest microbiologist to have increased human lifespan by 10-15 years. He has also bagged the prestigious job of a senior microbiologist at NASA at a salary of Rs 1.65 lakh per day. Talking about his project to The Tribune, Parteek said, “I did a research on the subject and put it on NASA’s website for study. To my astonishment, I soon got a mail from NASA stating that their scientists had experimented on the basis of my research and found it to be true.” Parteek said under his project, he studied that if the upper shell of a human body is replaced with that of a tortoise’s, then humans can live longer by at least 10-15 years. He was invited to NASA by its president on May 30. A special chartered flight was flown down to take him. There he participated at 43 meetings with NASA scientists and underwent five tests and became the first person to clear them in one go. He was offered a job at NASA, which he is free to take up within the next five years. “As a child, I had seen both my parents being constantly ill and dearly wished there was something that would help them live longer,” Parteek said. “When I was in Class V, one day I casually told my father that a tortoise can live 200 years and humans generally live about 70 years on an average. If the life-extending substance is taken out of tortoise and put into a human body, it might help humans live longer. That idea got stuck in my head and forced me to study the subject deeply when I grew up,” said Parteek. A medical student, Parteek scored 87.8 per cent marks in Class XII besides being the AFMC state topper. In AFMC, Parteek’s all-India rank is 7 and in CBSE PMT, he was placed third in the city with an all-India ranking of 152. “I want to serve my nation and get recognition for my motherland on the world map. I am still confused about the future course of action,” remarked Parteek. 25

This is an old story that we read in Class 3 but with a new ending.
A hat-seller who was passing by a forest decided to take a nap under one of the trees, so he left his whole basket of hats by the side. A few hours later, he woke up and realized that all his hats were gone. He looked up and to his surprise, the tree was full of monkeys and they had taken all his hats. The hat seller sits down and thinks of how he can get the hats down. While thinking he started to scratch his head. The next moment, the monkeys were doing the same. Next, he took down his own hat, the monkeys did exactly the same. An idea came to his mind* He took his hat and threw it on the floor and the monkeys did that too. So he finally managed to get all his hats back. Fifty years later, his grandson, also became a hat-seller and had heard this monkey story from his grandfather. One day, just like his grandfather, he passed by the same forest. It was very hot, and he took a nap under the same tree and left the hats on the floor. He woke up and realized that all his hats were taken by the monkeys on the tree. He remembered his grandfather' s words, started scratching his head and the monkeys followed. He took down his hat and fanned himself and again the monkeys followed. Now, very convinced of his grandfather' s idea, Sukhwinder threw his hat on the floor but to his surprise, the monkeys still held on to all the hats. Then one monkey climbed down the tree, grabbed the hat on the floor, gave him a slap and Guess!!! Said what??? ************ **** ************ *.. ***********. . *********.. ******** *****.. ****. *** **. *. * .. . . . "You think only you have a grandfather !!!???" :tongue: :tongue: 27

Jokes Majaak / Dilbert's Theorem on Salary« on: May 25, 2010, 10:46:21 PM »
Dilbert's Theorem on Salary states that engineers and scientists can never earn as much salary as business executives and sales people. This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation that is based on the following two postulates:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power. Postulate 2: Time is Money As every engineer knows: Work / Time = Power Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have: Work / Money = Knowledge Solving for Money, we get: Work / Knowledge = Money Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the amount of Work done. CONCLUSION: The Less you Know, the More you Make. 33

"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives. "For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000," replied the doctor. Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked, but all the men nodded because they thought they understood. But the patient's daughter was unsatisfied and asked, "Why the difference in price between male brains and female brains?" "Standard pricing practice," said the doctor. "Women's brains have to be marked down because they've actually been used." :happy: 34
Shayari / Heavens Grocery Store« on: May 18, 2010, 03:13:59 PM »
As I was walking down life's highway
I came upon a sign that read Heavens Grocery Store. When I got a little closer the doors swung open wide And when I came to myself I was standing inside. I saw a host of angels. They were standing everywhere One handed me a basket and said "My child shop with care." Everything a human needed was in that grocery store And what you could not carry you could come back for more First I got some Patience. Love was in that same row. Further down was Understanding, you need that everywhere you go. Then I got some Strength and Courage to help me run this race . And then a box of wisdom and a bag of Faith too My basket was getting full but I remembered I needed Grace. Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill, For I thought I had everything to do the Masters will. As I went up the aisle I saw Prayer and put that in, Song and Praise were hanging near so I just helped myself. Then I said to the angel "Now how much do I owe?" He smiled and said "Just take them everywhere you go." Again I asked “Really now, How much do I owe?" "My child" he said, "God paid your bill a long long time ago." 35
News Khabran / Unexplained Mystery : Russian politician claims he met Aliens !!« on: May 14, 2010, 03:12:53 PM »
A Russian politician has made the startling claim that he was taken on a spaceship where he met aliens who wore yellow spacesuits.
The bizarre claim was made on a primetime television show, in addition he said he spent several hours on board the "half-transparent half tube spaceship" and that the aliens were here on Earth to take samples. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov According to Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, a leader of the southern region of Russia,The extraterrestrials visited his downtown Moscow apartment on Sept. 18, 1997 when they gave him a tour of their spaceship Apparently there were three other witnesses to the situation: his assistant, his driver and his minister, “I believe I talked to them and saw them. I perhaps wouldn't believe it if it wasn't for 3 witnesses — my driver, my minister, and my assistant.” The Hindustan Times reports that Ilyumzhinov was about to fall asleep but someone called his name from his balcony. He went out and saw a “half-transparent half tube” spaceship. He decided go in and met human-like creatures. After this claim… Russian parliamentarian Andre Lebedev called for an inquiry into the claims made by Ilyumzhinov and also wrote a letter to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev where he made a list of concerns.. Lebedev believes it should have been reported to Kremlin because it was a historic event. There have been numerous political officials from across the globe who claim to have seen aliens, such as 2008 Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, former United States President Jimmy Carter and, most recently, Japan’s First Lady, Miyuki Hatoyama, said she was abducted by aliens. 36
Knowledge / The Power of Music« on: May 13, 2010, 08:30:09 PM »
Music can move the soul. It can be a very strong influence. Some music can calm us down, some music can make us wild! How does music affect us?
Music is used in a variety of ways. It is used in the medical field as a source of research and as a sort of therapy as well. Music has been used as therapy for seizures, to lower blood pressure, treat ADD children, treat mental illness, treat depression, aid in healing, treat stress and insomnia an premature infants. Problems like excessive worry, anxiety, or depression create a 'chaotic' situation in the brain, hampers its working power, reasoning ability, and execution of conventional tasks becomes difficult. It happens because of reduced levels of serotonin. Music effects a steep rise in the levels of serotonin, which has positive influences on brain cells controlling mood, memory power and learning, temperature regulatory mechanism of the body, sleep and memory functions Musicologist Julius Portnoy found that music can change metabolic rates, increase or decrease blood pressure, effect energy levels, and digestion, positively or negatively, depending on the type of music. Calming music, such as classical music was found to have a very calming effect on the body, and cause the increase of endorphins, thirty minutes of such music was equal to the effect of a dose of valium( A mood stabilizer drug). Both hemispheres of the brain are involved in processing music. The music in these studies is not the "lyrics", but the music itself, the melody, the tones, the tunes, the rhythm, the chords. Conversely music has also been documented to cause sickness. The right, or wrong music, rather, can be like a poison to the body. Studies have been done on plants where loud hard rock music, for instance, killed plants and soft classical music, make the plants grow faster. Music is very powerful, like a drug and can even be an addiction. In the book, The Secret Power of Music, by David Tame, it says, "music is more than a language, it is the language of languages. It can be said that of all the arts, there is none other that more powerfully moves and changes the consciousness. It can be said that music is a very powerful and awesome tool, that can have positive effects, virtually life saving mentally and physically when used in the right context, but has equally destructive and detrimental potential if used negatively. If knowledge is food for thought, music is the digestive system that makes sure that it is assimilated in a proper way. If u still doubt the power of music then, simply venture out to the nearest coffee place playing soft music or visit a loud disco club. The effect would be pretty clear! 37
