THEORY BIG BANG
--------------------------------

today, in February post, i would like to share an article about the origin of universe. There are many theory be made by scientist like big bang theory, steady state theory and plasma universe and many more.

but, here i just want to write about big bang theory because in my religion, quran prove that this theory is real.

In 1929, Edwin Hubble found that all the star is moving away from earth. So that means the stars is moving from some point. It is the point is at earth?

the answer is no.. if u go to Pluto planet or another galaxy, u will still notice that the stars and another object in our universe are moving away from the place u observing. why? because we are also standing on the object (earth) that are moving together with other object from some point.

After that, Edwin Hubble makes some theory that there are happened an explosion in that point in the long time ago. because, if we need to move something, of course we need force and force that moving an object in the universe is come from that big explosion.

If u still do not understand, try to take some balloon, then mark some big point on the balloon. Then blow that balloon and u will see the point is getting away from each other.. that are similarities to this big bang theory..

Now u know how does universe is made. thanx.. if u still do not understand, please refer to my blog.. http://sciencefever.blogspot.com and find the article about this theory.

do you know how to cook spagheti??.
this have some tips that you all can follow ang practice it at the home.
all da best.
(1) Get a bowl of water.
(2) Add a little bit of salt and some drops of oil
(3) Put it in your microwave and bring the water to a boil
(4) Put in your desired amount of spaghetti
(5) Bring it to boil again
(6) When you notice the water about to boil over, interrupt the microwave by opening its doors, stir, close the doors again so the microwave will restart.
(7) Repeat step (6) until you get the spaghetti cooked to your preferred state - most cook books tell you Al Dente - which is basically soft but firm to bite - how do you tell? You could chew on a short strand (most practical), or try to see the slight change in coloration (requires experience) - the spaghetti changes from the flat dull coloration to a sheeny look that says "I have got water in me" - yes by this time, it would be a tad plumber than it was in its dry state.
(8) Once you have cooked it to the state you prefer, you can leave it aside to cool. If you are going to leave it for some time, remember to sprinkle some more oil and cover to prevent drying out.
(9) when you have your seafood sauce ready you can mixed in your spaghetti and enjoy your meal.

PS: the little bit of oil is to prevent the spaghetti from clumping. The little bit of salt is for taste as spaghetti by itself is pretty bland. You'd have to experiment though, so best of luck.

Assalamualaikum and hello to everyone...

I want to share about one of the contagious disease; that is scabies.Scabies is a common skin infection that causes small itchy bumps due to tiny mites that burrow into the top layer of human skin to lay their eggs.The burrows sometimes appear as short, wavy, reddish, or darkened lines on the skin's surface, especially around the wrists and between the fingers. A child who has contracted scabies can also develop a bumpy red rash.

Scabies is contagious, and is usually transmitted by skin-to-skin contact or through sexual contact with someone else who is infected with it. The infection spreads more easily in crowded conditions and in situations where there is a lot of close contact — like childcare centers or nursing homes. So if someone in your child's class or childcare group has scabies, it's wise to have your child treated for the infection even before he or she develops symptoms.
The most common symptom of scabies is severe itching, which may be worse at night or after a hot bath. A scabies infection begins as small, itchy bumps, blisters that break when you scratch them. Itchy skin may become thick, scaly, scabbed, and crisscrossed with scratch marks.

Assalamualaikum and hepi holiday to Miss Sara...Today i want to story about our favourite soft drink called coca cola...Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines worldwide (The Coca-Cola Company claims that it is sold in more than 200 countries [1]). It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia and is often referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as Cola or Pop. Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century.

The company produces concentrate, which is then sold to various licensed Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in combination with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola in cans and bottles to retail stores and vending machines. Such bottlers include Coca-Cola Enterprises, which is the largest single Coca-Cola bottler in North America and western Europe. The Coca-Cola Company also sells concentrate for fountain sales to major restaurants and food service distributors.

The Coca-Cola Company has, on occasion, introduced other cola drinks under the Coke brand name. The most common of these is Diet Coke, which has become a major diet cola..I think that's all for now..Thank you...

Poker is a family of card games that share betting rules and usually hand rankings. Poker games differ in how the cards are dealt, how hands may be formed, whether the high or low hand wins the pot in a showdown, limits on bets and how many rounds of betting are allowed. In most modern poker games, the first round of betting begins with some form of forced bet. The action then proceeds to the left. Each player in turn must either match the maximum previous bet or fold, losing all further interest in the hand. A player who matches a bet may also raise, increasing the bet. The betting round ends when all players have either matched the last bet or folded. If all but one player fold on any round, the remaining player collects the pot without showing his hand. If more than one player remains in contention after the final betting round, the hands are shown and the winning hand takes the pot.

Many poker players feel that this betting system distinguishes poker from gambling games. With the minor exception of initial forced bets, money is only placed into the pot voluntarily by a player who, at least in theory, rationally believes the bet has positive expected value. Thus while the outcome of any particular hand is determined mostly by chance, the long-run expectations of the players are determined mostly by their actions chosen based on probability and psychology.Gambling is 'Haram' in islam,so we should not playing this game by betting something.We can play poker just for fun without involving any gambling.Thats all for now from me.Thank you..

Assalamualaikum to everybody..
For this session,I want to share with us about a badminton.

Badminton is a racket sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their racket so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the ground, and the shuttlecock may only be struck once by each side before it passes over the net.

The shuttlecock is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from the balls used in most racket sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when compared to other racket sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is best played indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game.

I think,that's all for this session.Thank you for reading.

Some researchers think laughter just might be the best medicine, helping you feel better and putting that spring back in your step.

We change physiologically when we laugh. We stretch muscles throughout our face and body, our pulse and blood pressure go up, and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues.

Some people says the effect between laugh and exercise is same.The combination between laugher and movement is like waving your arms and this is the best way to boost your heart rate.

Because of that,laugher will give the good impact to our body.Firstly,it will give the best effect on bloods vessels.The blood vessels can expand and contract normally.

Moreover,laugher also can effect to the immune response.Many works in a day will increase stress.This problems can be solve with laugh.Laugher can decrease the high level of stress.

Lastly,laugher also can decrease the blood sugar levels in our body.When a person which has a high level of sugar watch comedy,the level of sugar decrease after watching the comedy.

This is all the proof that laugher is the best medicine.Thank you.

Hello,
I would luke to share some things regarding mind control.How do you determine if you're under mind control?It's an interesting tat you can pass around at a party or among friends.The fact is that you just don't know. In fact everything you are doing could be a response that fits perfectly into another persons plans.If you take that as a possibility you could simply just give up and yield to the fact that NOTHING is truly within your control but there is a healthier option.It's quite simple, just ask yourself "Am I acting or am I reacting?"If you are reacting then you are respond to something outside of your control and trying to gain some control back, a potential sign of some form of mind control.No one likes to feel powerless and out of control.The solution? To do something intentional and positive that is NOT a response to the external environment.I want to emphasize the word "positive" here because an intentional negative/destructive act has to act on or destroy something pre-existing. It would be then something to which you are reacting.This is much harder that it might seem because it requires four qualities that most "sheeple" find hard to implement.
They are:
1) Thought
2 ) Creativity
3) Action
4) Courage
thank you..

Hello boys and grils.Today i want to talk about hibiscus.There are many varieties of the hibiscus, but the five-petaled Hibiscus rosa sinensis was chosen above the others, is the most symbolically relevant. The five petals of the bunga raya symbolise the Rukunegara (the Five Principles of Nationhood), while the colour red represents courage.

It is believed that the flower first arrived in Malaysia via trade from its original home in the Far East sometime before the 12th century.

The national flower, bunga raya, is known for its medicinal properties. The roots of the plant are used as a cure for fever and other ailments, while the juice obtained from the leaves and roots is said to be effective in relieving skin eruptions and glandular troubles. Also, the petals were commonly used as cosmetics to darken and highlight women's eyebrows.
That all for today.Perhap all of you have a nice day.

Assalammualaikumm.......

Hope you all have a good day today. People need to have friends and friends is people that close and share each other and loves us like a family.

That why we need to socialize and make friends.Making friends is not always easy. It depends on how outgoing we are. If we're shy, then we need to build up our confidence to actually be popular.

The most important things is just be ourself. Don't be afraid to express our opinions. If someone insults us, just ignore them. Brave because we true.

Be optimistic. Even if we are feeling really down, remember that there's always something out there to smile about. A positive outlook will make people want to be around us a lot more.

Smile as much as we can. Signs of encouragement let people know we care about what they are saying.

Listen more than we talk. Instead of nodding and smiling and occasionally wiping the drool off our face, try to take what the person says and run with it. Add our own thoughts into the mix - but don't hijack the conversation.

Be Patient. If we are still among strangers, the apprehension of a conversation may cause a delay in comments. Don't worry, that will go away in short order.

Lastly we should be happy and don't worry ;)

I have read a very good article and this article helps me a lot to take a good care of my car. The title of this article is How to Take Great Care of Your Car and written by Kilogramm. There are six tips. The first tip is you can start off by making sure your oil filter is changed every 3,000-4,000 miles so you don't have any major problems when it comes to that. Second tip is you must have all fluids such as brake, transmission, windshield washer and power steering fluid check regularly. This is a major part of taking care of your vehicles upkeep. Third tip is you must check your tire inflation at least once a month. This will help detect slow leaks that could possible lead to flats ahead of time. Fourth tip is check the battery and cables for signs of corrosion or grime. If your battery takes battery fluid, also make sure it's regularly checked.

hallo...Did you like to drink tea and coffee?? I’m sure all of us take this drink as an agent to avoid from sleeping, right? But for sure, tea is my favorites drink at the evening. The taste of it make us forget about the effect of it to our health. There are some meals that been serious effect of our health. Such as wheat, salt, tea and coffee.

Did you know, excessive use of salt puts extra burden on the kidneys, may cause high blood pressure, which is closely linked with diabetes. Excessive intake of salt promotes water retention in the body, which in due course may lead to obesity, which is a potent cause of diabetes.

Besides that, wheat is the most common cereal used throughout the world for making bread. It is a good source of energy. With its essential coating of bran, vitamins and minerals, it is an excellent health-building food. However refined wheat flour constitutes a serious health hazard of the various processed foods being used today for their delicious taste, white flour (maida) is especially harmful. The colossal loss of vitamins and mineral in refined wheat flour has led to widespread prevalence of constipation and other related disgestine disturbance and nutritional disorders, particularly diabetes. The consumption of white flour is thus an important contributory cause of diabetes, and its aggravation, if the disease has already developed.

In the articles that I read also mentioned about the dangerous of the white salt that we always us in our meals daily. Common salt or sodium chloride is a major factor in maintaining the acid base equilibrium of the body. It is also essential for the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Thus, while a certain amount of salt essential for the body system, it is required in very small quantities, ranging from 10 to 15 g per day.Salt (sodium chloride) and sodium preservatives are added to most processed foods. A sodium-controlled diet must avoid or limit salted snacks; pickles and many others processed convenience foods.

Then, what about tea and coffee?? Drinking tea and coffee is a serious health hazard for the diabetic. The most alkaloid principle in both tea and coffee is caffeine. Caffeine is an addictive drug similar to cocaine in as much as it stimulates the central nervous system. While these effects are short-lived, it has been observed that they lead to withdrawal symptoms of irritability, lethargy, headaches and anxiety. The daily intake of tea and coffee causes indigestion and gas formation, diarrhea, and constipation. They also increase the blood sugar level, which may lead to diabetes or aggravate its symptoms where the disease is already present.

This articles are really impressive me in drinking tea…since then, I will not taking tea as a “must” drink in my meal. Not just because the quantity of the caffeine but also about the amount of the sugar in it. So I hope you guys be careful and take care about our health.

Good day..

It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know it has begun. A thousand heralds proclaim it to the listening air, a thousand messengers betray it to the eye. Tone, act, attitude and look, the signals upon the countenance, the electric telegraph of touch - all these betray the yielding citadel before the word itself is uttered, which, like the key surrendered, opens every avenue and gate of entrance, and renders retreat impossible.
