Why 1 is called ONE & 2 called TWO...?

You're just lines away. In between let me share the thought that comes up to my mind, while I was finding reason for this crazy question.
Assume a worlds lengthiest class room, where students are seated in series of rows. No matter how many rows!! only front and the last row are those who will create history or they would be the 2 pillars for almost all discoveries & innovations around. I meant there will be a connection exist between two entities, without them there would have no space for this simple post; mapping the front row would be the entity which has found or find reason to all the queries raised by last row entity. 

The numbers we write are made up of algorithms, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) called Arabic algorithms.

What is the logic that exists in Arabic algorithm?


There are angles!
   If you look at the original Phoenician primitive algorithmic representation of numerals, the angles in the written representation of each of the numbers dictates the number's name.
 
1 (without the bar at the bottom in the original, primitive text) would have only one angle where the diagonal line meets the vertical line.
2 written in primitive text is a "Z" with two angles, one where the top horizontal line meets with the diagonal line, and another where the bottom horizontal line meets with the diagonal line. If you look at an image of the Phoenician numbers
 
   

similarly...

Why would dogs hang their tongue OUT?




Most of time we have heard that people certainly map one's nose to dog's, when he or she could typically figure out something by smell. But the thing caught my attention while looking at the dog why dogs would have their TONGUE hanging out! lol
It's known for smelling sense... But tongue out for? And not every dog put it out just when it is hungry, although few does it but more randomly.

Any guess why it does? okay have you ever noticed a dog sweating either when it is tired chasing or in the street even sunny day. I hope by now you might have recalled any situation if you have lately seen any dog hanging their tongue out post reaching you by run.

Strange part here is that, they don't have no sweat glands except for on their tongues so they poke their tongue out to cool off. Dogs have a high body temperature and they hang their tongues out to let heat out through their tongues. So it's just their way of relaxing; rather than pointing it as sweating.

Why are rain clouds dark?





Comparatively Bangalore residents would have felt this often! For only reason, almost everyone doesn’t want to waste any space within their site; even for passage in between houses & to the compound gates.
For example - we might have seen few very flexibly built compound gates that can safeguard the vehicles parked on the road; which actually supposed to do when parked inside.

Better late than never! BBMP finally realized the smart people around the city, and come up with smarter plan late in 2011 that, # of car parking space must be equal to # of kitchens in the building, must be shown up in architecture approval proposal.

The reason why rainy clouds appear dark are due to their particulate density. As the clouds form from minuscule water droplets and ice crystals, before rain starts water vapor would have the higher density, the denser they are packed, it makes the cloud turn up to thicker & BIG. And hence it blocks out most of the sun light passes through; lending a darker appearance to their lower sections.

And the best supporting fact I found - visualization by flight journey. With clouds on an overcast day seemed grayed out when viewed on the runway, yet a bright white above the cloud.
Essentially, the deeper & denser a cloud formation is, the less light will pass through it.

Certainly 1 don't prefer to sleep facing head north

Most of us have a belief, that sleeping with head facing north would invite the lord of death. Indian mythology is concerned, South is the direction of lord Yama(a.k.a - The God of Death).

Simple reason why we ignore most of the Indian traditional belief is, either most of the elder family member didn't understand the reason behind or we had no chance to get to know.

scientific reason behind is -
      With the fundamentals of magnetism, south pole is the source of positive energy, whereas north pole is considered to be the source of negative energy. Head facing north, and if already tired human brain gets negative energy, then it would take more time to exhilarate and work efficiently.

Also, in the long run, the constant exposure to negative energy might reduce the efficiency of the brain gradually. Post stressful job, sleeping with head facing south, one would get contemporary state of mind, comparatively faster.

Agent 007


Ian Fleming
(28 May 1908 – 12 August 1964), While he had been working as an officer in British naval intelligence during the Second World War, he has also written many of spy novels.
   In 1952, for one of his story, he has created a fictional character revolved as James Bond (code number, 007), an intelligence officer in the Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6. This becomes one of the longest continually-running film series in history, having been in on-going production from 1962 to the present. In that time Eon Productions has produced 23 films, usually produced at Pinewood Studios. This has become second-highest-grossing film series (behind Harry Potter) and the single most successful adjusted for inflation.
   After Fleming's death, in 1981, thriller writer John Gardner picked up the series with Licence Renewed. Gardner went on to write sixteen Bond books in total; two of the books he wrote – Licence to Kill and GoldenEye – were novelizations of Eon Productions films of the same name. In 1996, Gardner retired from writing James Bond books due to ill health.
   In 1996, American author Raymond Benson became the author (until 2002) of the Bond novels. Benson had written six Bond novels, three novelizations (The World Is Not Enough, Tomorrow Never Dies & Die Another Day). After a gap of six years, Sebastian Faulks was commissioned by Ian Fleming Publications to write a new Bond novel, which was released on 28 May 2008, the 100th anniversary of Ian Fleming's birth.
  Later in 2009 American writer Jeffery Deaver was then commissioned by Ian Fleming Publications.

How Much You Know About Your Nose?


I think few of you may really like it! I was not surprised when I saw it on fb, but then I really felt power after going over this…

The nose has a left and a right side.
We use both to inhale and exhale.
Actually they are different.
You'll be able to feel the difference.

The right side represents the sun.
The left side represents the moon.

During a headache, try to close your right nose
and use your left nose to breathe.
In about 5 mins, your headache will go.

If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose
and breathe through your right nose.
After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily.
Left side belongs to 'cold'.

Most females breathe with their left noses,
so they get "cooled off" faster.
Most of the guys breathe with their right noses,
they get worked up.

Do you notice, the moment you awake, which side breathes better?
Left or right ?
If left is better, you will feel tired.
So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing..
You will feel refreshed quickly.

Do you suffer from continual headaches?
Try out this breathing therapy.

Close your right nose and breathe through your left nose.
Your headaches will be gone.

Perhaps some practice... needed
