recycle

Recycling a blog to use the address for a new purpose, even data can be recycled, although I don’t think there’s any eco value to such effort, just sounds greener to say “recycle”…..hhhmmmm; “recycle, recycle, recycle!” – oh so satisfying…..

Around Swings

“in the garden I am .... fighting with the sound of my robotic mind…

Could it be that I’m already free, ,

Free, from me

In the darkness, I can see;

Constellation key

Above me

I wanna be

Transformed into a heavenly

Being unlike me!” (I. Beckmann)

supermoon

On March 19 2011 Earth's One And Only Natural Satellite Moon Is Going To Appear At Only A Distance Of 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) From Earth Which Would Takes Place Once In Every 20 years Known As  "Lunar Perigee Or Supermoon";This Celestial Epic Phenomenon Was Already Witnessed By People In  1955, 1974, 1992 And 2005.Based On The Different Predictions And Conclusions By Different Astronomers It Said That This Supernatural Phenomenon Could Lead The Way To A Disastrous Events But Some Say That There Might Be Only Change In The Level Of Sea Tides Which Could Lead Only A Drastic Change in Climatic Conditions Of Coastal Areas.

 

 

The Moon's Gravity Can Cause Small But Measureable Ebbs And Flows In The Continents, Called "land tides" Or "solid Earth tides," Too. The Tides Are Greatest During Full And New Moons, when The Sun And Moon Are Aligned Either On The Same Or Opposite Sides Of The Earth.

 

While Hoping For A Non-Disastrous ‘Moon Giant’, Point Your Eyes And Camera Lenses Toward The Night Sky On 19th. If The Sky Is Clear, You’re Gonna Get An Exceptional Celestial Treat.

Circus comes to town. 4 real!

"A new analysis of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake in Japan has found that the intense temblor has accelerated Earth's spin, shortening the length of the 24-hour day by 1.8 microseconds, according to geophysicist Richard Gross at NASA"
The 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile last year also sped up the planet's rotation and shortened the day by 1.26 microseconds. The 9.1 Sumatra earthquake in 2004 shortened the day by 6.8 microseconds.

eish

Monday morning; first cup of filter coffee – sour milk, sign of Monday morning – drank half a cup of it before realising, something not quite right…Second cup tastes the same – but the milk isn’t sour – I’ve polluted my taste buds or else they’re still asleep……………..

 

Religion

some say religion is outdated, but that's like saying a species is outdated for being eons old? Religion is a body of information intended to outlive any one person, since it deals with everything very old, nay, eternal matter - where do I come from? why am I here? where am I going

Staying young is ‘mind over matter’

March 3 2011 at 12:53pm

Research also shows that older mothers tend to age more slowly than those who give birth in their 20s.

Forget fad diets and expensive face creams. The key to looking young is to grow old disgracefully.

Those who think and dress in a youthful way are healthier than those who act their age, according to research.

Mind over matter, it seems, can improve everything from blood pressure to arthritis and eyesight.

Even the development of heart disease and cancer may, at least to a degree, be staved off by refusing to grow old.

The intriguing claims come from researchers at Harvard University, who reviewed a series of studies into how the mind influences the body.

In one experiment, elderly men were “transported” back to 1959 for a week. They lived in accommodation fitted out in the decor of the 50s, were played TV shows and music of the time and told to talk and act as if they were living then.

By the end of the week, the men were perceived to look about three years younger. Their hearing and eyesight improved, arthritic joints were more flexible, muscles were stronger and minds sharper.

The experiment echoes the recent TV series The Young Ones, in which celebrities including Lionel Blair and Dickie Bird spent a week in a house fitted out in the style of 1975 - when they were in their prime.

In the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science researcher Ellen Langer suggests that much of the decline of old age may be driven by negative perceptions about our later years - and breaking these down can improve one’s health.

A second study revealed that cutting and colouring women’s hair not only made them feel younger, but reduced their blood pressure.

Research also shows that older mothers tend to age more slowly than those who give birth in their 20s. While this may be partly due to having the money and know-how to look after themselves, they may also benefit from forming friendships with younger women at the school gates.

Similarly, someone with a young spouse may think and act young, to the benefit of their body.

Research also shows that wearing a uniform to work can slow down ageing - perhaps because it prevents more elderly staff from dressing according to their age.

Even prostate cancer and heart disease may be influenced by the mind, with studies finding that they are more prevalent in men who are prematurely aged by going bald early.

Langer suggests that simply thinking young can do the power of good. She advised people not to dwell on the ageing process, adding: “Don’t buy the mind-set in the first place, then you won’t be vulnerable to it.

“I think we have far more control over our health and wellbeing than most of us realise.”

Cary Cooper, professor of psychology and health at Lancaster University, added that youthful thinkers tended to exercise their bodies and brains more, boosting physical and psychological health. -Daily Mail
