Well this is the end of this blog at least in these topics!!

Thank you!!

Hi everybody!!

today I will share with you some jokes about beauty!!

My wife has become so fat, I said to her
"You are starting to look like my ex-wife".
"But you only have ever been married to me". She replied
"Yes, I know"

"Mummy, Mummy, the kids at school say I'm a freak"
"Shut up and comb your face"


Hollywood's Unconventional Beauties

Julianne Moore, Jessica Paré, Lea Michele and others are redefining beauty with their very own signature look.

JULIANNE MOORE: FRECKLES

With her fair skin, Moore's freckles are hard to miss – something the actress has come to accept with age, including using them as inspiration for her children's book series, Freckleface Strawberry. "I'd really rather not have them, but there's nothing I can do about them," she told Allure. "I think we learn as adults that there are other things that are more important."

KATE BOSWORTH: EYES

Due to a hereditary condition called heterochromia, Bosworth has two different-colored eyes, one hazel and one blue. The actress normally covers up with contacts in films, but for 2006's Superman Returns, "[Director Bryan Singer] wanted to keep them the way they are," she told Australia's The Sun Herald. "So now the Lois Lane dolls have different colored eyes."



How Do You Interpret The IQ Test Scores?

What is a good IQ score? What is a high IQ score? What is a low IQ score? These are common questions, particularly after someone finds out their score from an IQ test. There are different types of IQ tests with each having their own scale. Hence two people have an IQ of 120 on different scales might not necessarily have the same intelligence level. However all tests and scales use 100 as the IQ of a person of average intelligence.
Since the average IQ is said to be 100, hence anything above 100 is considered as above average and below 100 as below average. IQ below 70 is taken as that of mentally challenged person. IQ above 140 is generally considered as that of a genius.
We already know that  IQ = Mental Age/Chronological Age X 100
Hence, the normal or average IQ score is 100, which means that the mental and chronological ages coincide.
It is true that modern intelligence tests now apply statistical methods to produce a score reflecting one's performance compared to the average performance of his peers. However, the normal or average IQ score will always remain 100.
Let us see why?
When we plot a sample of the population's IQ scores on an IQ against percentage chart, it is observed that the population distribution on the IQ scale forms a symmetrical bell-shaped curve. This is known as the "IQ Scale Bell-Curve". It reveals that on an IQ scale of 60 to 100, the number of people with those IQ scores increases and maximum people touch the 100 mark. Then, as the IQ scale increases from 100, the percentage of people with those scores starts decreasing in proportion to the start of the curve. A very small percentage of the population reaches an IQ of over 140.
From this chart, it can be thus concluded that a normal IQ score is generally considered to be around the 100 mark.
IQ scores are thus calculated on a scale of 0 to 200. A person scoring zero would be literally brain dead, while a score of 200 would mean that the person is probably the smartest person alive on the earth.
Since the first IQ test was developed by Alfred Binet and Theophile Simon and their IQ was classified on Simon-Binet scale which was later revised by Lewis Terman into Stanford-Binet scale, this is the most popularly used scale till date and all other modern scales also revolves around it.
According to Stanford-Binet scale, IQ is classified as following:

• Over 140 - Genius or almost genius
• 120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
• 110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
• 90 - 109 - Average or normal intelligence
• 80 - 89 - Dullness
• 70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency in intelligence
• Under 70 - Feeble-mindedness

What is IQ?

Simply speaking, IQ (intelligence quotient) is an assessment of your ability to think and reason. However, if you want a fuller definition, you have to try and understand the concept of IQ first with utmost patience as it is not a straightforward one. Although IQ is science, it's a fuzzy one.

All of you probably must have been labeled as dumb, bright, smart, stupid, clever etc. at different times of your life. Isn't it? This is where IQ comes into play as human beings getting influenced by such comments are invariably drawn towards knowing how intelligent they are? Like a kind of school grade, they want to know where their intelligence level stands. For a more intrinsic depiction of their intelligence, they usually turn to their IQ (Intelligence Quotient).

IQ or Intelligence Quotient is simply an attempt to measure intelligence. We use the word "attempt" because intelligence can never be measured accurately. Hence, we have to remain satisfied with 'relative intelligence'.

IQ is a "measure of relative intelligence which is determined by a single or a set of standardized test." IQ is a score derived from one of the several different standardized tests that attempts to measure intelligence. In other words, IQ can be defined as an attempt to measure a person's mental agility. It is a number that measures the people's cognitive abilities (intelligence) in relation to their age group. An Intelligence Quotient indicates a person's mental abilities relative to other persons of approximately the same age.

The IQ is a number that ranges from 0 to 200+ and is a ratio that is derived by comparing mental age to chronological age. The intelligence quotient is defined as 100 times the Mental Age (MA) divided by the Chronological Age (CA).

Hence,  IQ = Mental Age/Chronological Age X 100

So if you are 50 years old, but have the intelligence of an average 44 year old, your IQ is: 100 x 44/50 = 88. This is a low IQ.

An IQ of 100 is usually considered as normal or average for the whole population. An IQ score higher than 100 means that the person is mentally advanced for his age and has high IQ and IQ less than 100 means just the opposite. IQs can be as high as 200 in adults and 250 in children.

I hope the evidences and justifications which I have presented before you must have shattered all the IQ myths and cleared several of your misconceptions regarding IQ. However, it is quite unfortunate that a huge number of people, despite being able to see the differences between myths and realities, are still eager to promote these IQ myths for gaining their selfish ends.

Thus, IQ or Intelligence Quotient is an attempt to measure intelligence or to be precise is the measure of relative intelligence. This may mean many things to many people but generally the attribute of intelligence refers to quickness of mental comprehension (or mental agility). Intelligence should not be confused with knowledge, wisdom, memory or other attributes. The term IQ is always an attempt to measure a person's mental agility. And it is very important for people not to confuse between intelligence and relative intelligence. Intelligence can never be measured and IQ is not the measure of intelligence. IQ is simply the measure of relative intelligence derived by a single or set of standardized tests.

Types of Beauty!!

There are all types of beauty. You have natural beauty. You have make-up beauty, and finally you have surgery beauty. 

Natural beauty is when you are beautiful in the inside when you or someone else feels that you have a good personality. Beauty really isn't what you think it is. Beauty has to do with the inside. What you are like in the inside.

Make-up beauty is someone who wears alot of make-up to make them look beautiful. They have to cover the ugliness. Like I said earlier beauty comes from the inside out.

Surgery beauty is when you get fake boobs,fake nose,fake everything. They only get that stuff because someone has that naturally and they think the surgery would be the best way to make them look like they fit in. But they don't.

The true meaning about beauty

What is the true meaning of beauty?  Beauty means something different to different kinds of people.  The meaning of beauty is influenced by our environmental surrounding, society, media, peers, culture and experiences.  When people think about beauty we think about the physical visual appearance.  I find that the media and society teaches beauty using visual examples.

We all know beauty but do we understand it?

Beauty affects everyone’s life yet beauty is filled with mystery for most. 

What qualifies an individual to be named beautiful?  Why some people are called beautiful while others are called ugly?  Are beautiful people born or made?  Is beauty an appearance or a feeling? 

Hi everybody, today I will share whit you a link about games for strengthen oyur brain =D...

Secrets for a Flawless Summer Face

Rethink your makeup

No matter what the labels may claim, not all makeup is made for year-round use. Just like you swap out your boots for sandals and jeans for maxi skirts, so must your beauty bag get a seasonal overhaul come summer.

Warmer weather means creams and waterproof formulas, not heavy foundation and powder blush. It's the only way to get a truly flawless look with no streaks, smudges, or smears. Don't worry, this change isn't a dramatic one. You won't leave the drugstore with your hands filled with large bags, cringing from credit card usage. In fact, you might already have most of these items stashed away under your bathroom sink. Even if you don't, these essentials are definitely reasonable investments -- not a silly, trend splurge.

To be sure we hit every essential on the summer must-have list, we chatted with celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow on the top items that create a flawless summer face. Click on to be sure you have all six.



Types of intelligence

Fluid & Crystallized Intelligence

Did you know there are two basic types of intelligence? Thanks to psychologist Raymond Cattell & John L. Horn, we can now view intelligence from two different aspects. You can't have on without the other – they compliment each other and everyone embodies both.

Fluid Intelligence

•ability to reason quickly and to think abstractly.
•A factor in general intelligence.
•ability to reason and deal with complex information around us.
•This ability is considered independent of learning, experience, and education.
•continues to increase throughout childhood and adulthood.
•peaks in adolescence and begins to decline progressively beginning around age 30 or 40.

Crystallized Intelligence

•knowledge and skills that are accumulated over a lifetime.
•A factor in general intelligence.
•ability to reason and make sense of abstract information.
•This type of intelligence is based upon facts and rooted in experiences.
•continues to increase throughout childhood and adulthood.
•knowledge that comes from prior learning and past experiences.

Informacion about exercise to ward off mental decline!

Hi!

I hope you are fine... today I will share with you important information about exercise to ward off mental decline...

Enjoy it!! 

                                       

 

 

 EXERCISE TO WARD OFF MENTAL DECLINE

The other study, by Dr. Yonas E. Geda and colleagues at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, involved 1,324 elderly adults free of dementia in 2006-2008. Experts determined that 198 had mild cognitive impairment and 1,126 had normal cognitive function.

Those who said they had engaged in moderate exercise such as brisk walking, aerobics, yoga, strength training or swimming in their 40s, 50s and beyond were less apt to have mild cognitive impairment, the researchers found.

Moderate exercise in midlife was associated with a 39 percent reduced likelihood of developing mild cognitive impairment, and moderate exercise in late life was associated with a 32 percent reduction in the odds of mental decline. The findings were consistent among men and women.

These two studies, both published in the Archives of Neurology, contribute to a growing body of literature supporting the benefits of a physically active lifestyle on the brain.

Concentration Building Techniques for Kids

Hi bloggers!
Today I want to share with you an article about techniques to building the concentration in your sons!!

5 Simple Concentration Building Techniques for Kids with ADHD by Dr. Robert Myers, Child Psychologist

Imagine that you are living inside of a video game, where everything is coming at you at once and every sight, sound and sensation is a distraction. For a child with ADHD, getting through a typical day is something like that—and it explains a great deal about how they experience the world. Children with ADHD typically have impairment of functions such as concentration, memory, impulse control, processing speed and an inability to follow directions. If you’re a parent of a child with ADD or ADHD, this most likely sounds all too familiar. Over the years, you’ve probably struggled through homework sessions with your child, tried (and failed) to get them to complete certain tasks like cleaning their room or finishing yard work, and on more than one occasion, you’ve probably felt completely drained by their high energy and seeming inability to focus.

“Cognitive exercises have been found to produce desired changes in not only how the brain works, but how it looks. What this means is that you have the ability to work with your child to help improve their ADHD symptoms.”

The good news is, there is something you can do to help your ADHD child improve their concentration skills. For years it was thought that each of us was born with a generous supply of brain cells, but that we were unable to produce additional cells or make changes in how they function. Fairly recently, neuroscientists discovered the presence of something called “neuroplasticity” which enables the brain to actually grow additional cells or modify the function of existing cells. Amazingly, cognitive exercises have been found to produce desired changes in not only how the brain works, but how it looks. What this means for parents is that you now have the ability to work with your child to help improve their ADHD symptoms.

As a child psychologist and the father of a son with ADHD, I developed a host of exercises that help ADHD kids improve their concentration. The key is presenting them as games that are actually fun for parents and children to do together.

Here are a few simple suggestions to get you started:

1. The Coin Game: This is one of the games that we use in the Total Focus Program. Parents like it because it improves memory and sequencing as well as attention and concentration, and kids enjoy it because it’s fast-paced and fun. First, you will need a small pile of assorted coins, a cardboard sheet to cover them, and a stopwatch (or a regular watch with a second hand.) Choose five of the coins from the pile (for this example, we’ll say three pennies and two nickels) and put them into a sequence. Now, tell your child to “Look carefully at the coins arranged on the table.” Then, cover the coins with the cardboard. Start the stopwatch, and then ask them to make the same pattern using the coins from the pile. When they are finished, mark the time with the stopwatch and remove the cardboard cover. Write down the time it took them to complete the pattern and whether or not they were correct. If they didn’t complete it correctly, have them keep trying until they can do it. You can increase the difficulty of the patterns as you go, and include pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars. You’ll see your child’s concentration and sequencing improve the more they play, which is a great reward for both of you.

2. Relaxation and Positive Imagery: Combining simple relaxation techniques such as deep breathing with positive visual imagery helps the brain to improve or learn new skills. For instance, research shows that if a person mentally practices their golf swing, the brain actually records the imaginary trials the same as if they were real trials which leads to improvement on the golf course. So ADHD kids can “imagine” that they’re paying attention in class or able to handle teasing, and this can in turn change their behavior at school. You and your child can use your own creativity and give this a try.

3. Mind - Body Integration: An example of this technique would be to have your child attempt to sit in a chair without moving. The parent times how long the child is able to accomplish this. Repeated practice over several weeks will show improvement. Through this activity, the neural connections between the brain and body are strengthened, providing improved self-control.

4. Crossword Puzzles and Picture Puzzles: It sounds simple, but these are great tools for kids with ADHD. Crossword puzzles actually improve attention for words and sequencing ability, while picture puzzles—in which your younger child has to look for things that are “wrong” in the picture or look for hard-to-find objects—also improve attention and concentration.

5. Memory and Concentration Games: Children’s games such as Memory or Simon are great ideas for improving memory and concentration. They are quick and fun. Memory motivates the child to remember the location of picture squares and Simon helps them memorize sequences of visual and auditory stimuli. Through repeated playing, brain circuits are “exercised” and challenged, which strengthens connections and thus improves function. Also, there are some free computer games on the internet that also improve concentration or memory such as Memory and Mosquito Killer. For older children and adolescents, check out the cognitive exercises provided by Lumosity.

As you do all of these “brain exercises,” you should work together with your child serving as his or her “coach.” Provide them with encouragement and track their progress as they improve. This is a win/win solution, because it also strengthens the relationship you have with your child.
