​​What is LiFi Technology?

LiFi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission.
LiFi is designed to use LED light bulbs similar to those currently in use in many energy-conscious homes and offices. However, LiFi bulbs are outfitted with a chip that modulates the light imperceptibly for optical data transmission. LiFi data is transmitted by the LED bulbs and received by photoreceptors.
LiFi's early developmental models were capable of 150 megabits-per-second (Mbps). Some commercial kits enabling that speed have been released. In the lab, with stronger LEDs and different technology, researchers have enabled 10 gigabits-per-second (Gbps), which is faster than 802.11ad.

​​How does Cows produce Milk?

A cow's special four-chambered stomach breaks down grasses she eats into things that nourish her and produce milk. The first chamber softens chewed plant material, which the cow burps up and chews again several times. In the next chamber, microorganisms feed on the plant material, making energy and proteins. As the material moves through the other chambers and into the small intestine, nutrients and excess water are absorbed into the bloodstream and then circulate to the mammary gland in the udder. There, special cells combine the nutrients with sugars from the cow's liver to create milk.

​​What is Heart Bypass Surgery?

If someone has a blockage in the heart, they may need bypass surgery to lower the risk of a heart attack.
Heart bypass surgery, or coronary artery bypass surgery, is used to replace damaged arteries that supply blood to your heart muscle. A surgeon uses blood vessels taken from another area of your body to repair the damaged arteries.

​​Why does Mint have a cooling sensation?

That cooling sensation is a result of menthol in the tissues of the mint leaf:
Menthol's ability to chemically trigger the cold sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin is responsible for the well-known cooling  sensation it provokes when inhaled, eaten, or applied to the skin.
The receptor of interest is a protein called TRPM8 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 8). It is an ion channel which, when open, allows sodium ions and calcium ions to enter, causing an action potential (an electrical signal down a neuron). Menthol causes the TRPM8 channel to open.
But TRPM8 is also a temperature receptor that opens in response to low temperatures. When you eat something containing menthol, the TRPM8 channel opens, but this signal is indistinguishable from the signal that would be produced if the receptor sensed cold. Therefore, when it detects menthol, the receptor signals ‘cold’, making mint feel cold.

​​🍂The Olive Tree and the Fig Tree

In a forest, there were an Olive Tree and a Fig Tree. The Olive Tree was very beautiful. It was very proud of its beauty, therefore it never spoke to the Fig Tree kindly.

One day, the Olive Tree said to the Fig Tree, “I have leaves on me throughout the year. You are not evergreen and do not have leaves on you in the month of autumn. I am prettier than you.”

The Fig Tree never said anything to the Olive Tree and always quietly listened to it. Soon winter came and it started getting cold. One day, it started snowing Big flakes of snow were falling on the ground. The branches of the Olive Tree had lots of leaves; therefore, the snow could not pass through its branches. The snow settled on the Olive Tree. The branches of the Olive Tree could not take the weight of the snow. The branches started falling to the ground one-by-one, spoiling the beauty of the Tree.

The Fig Tree did not have any leaves, so the snow easily passed through its branches and did not injure the Fig Tree.

Changing our attitude gives us hope to live a better life.

What to Do When You Miss Someone?

After a break up, after you leave the “love of your life,” inside you negative feelings start to accumulate. You lose the desire to live or you wanna be all alone. You are alienated from society so much that you stop dating and answer phone calls – nothing is more wrong than this!

"This type of depression is very painful. You have the desire to hide in a hole and stay there until the end of your life.”

Every day somebody leaves someone and passes through the breaking up. It is easy to fall in love – but it’s a much more difficult task to maintain a relationship. You need to control your feelings if you want to get back to normal.

The worst feeling following the breaking up is the feeling of the absence of a loved one. Here are some practical tips on what to do when you miss someone:

# Express yourself and accept unpleasant feelings (sadness, loneliness, emptiness, etc...)

Instead of denying it (with what you are actually increasing and maintaining them further), feel free to accept & express them. Cry, talk to trusted persons in leu of running away, drinking, suffering, smoke or overeat. Expressing sadness eliminates the tension you feel.

# Hang out, doing everything you do normally, but without being forced or exaggeration:
Work and socialize as you feel, do not run up in work or elevated mood bc this only prolongs grief & loss overcome. Do not withdraw from social life, be in touch with people.

# Find activities which will occupy your mind and your attention:
It can be some thinking activity (learning, reading books, surfing the Internet, etc.) Or some physical activity (sports, gym, yoga, etc.). It doesn’t matter which activity you choose, it is important to be something that you enjoy, or something that interests you. By being active temporarily turn your “I miss him/her” thoughts to the thinking of some interesting and enjoyable facilities and you will remind yourself that you can enjoy when you are alone.
 
# Design your time so that your every day be filled with content:
Do not leave yourself an empty space for boredom and free time without content, bc in such circumstances people tend to indulge in negative, pessimistic thoughts, unnecessary introspection, critical self-evaluation and a sense of loneliness. Exactly in these moments, people fall into despair bc they incredibly miss the person they still love. Fill your time as best as you can.

Design what is it that you can do during the day, including the obligation, everyday tasks, but also fun and socializing, make an exhaustive list of these activities and make a schedule of obligations. Try to do, those activities that you performed along with your ex now perform alone or with someone else, or simply find some new activities that will provide equal satisfaction.

When you wake up in the morning it is desirable to know what you will do today until you go to sleep. Do not leave a space for dark thoughts and analyzing the past. Bring in some innovations in your life.

# Do something new for yourself:
Last thing you could do, if you are still wondering: is to make a change in your life, It may be some small changes (eg, change your hairstyle, buy some new clothes, create a new arrangement in the apartment, etc.). Or some new activity (type in a program, Search for new interests, meet someone new, find some new place to go to, change society, travel to a place you miss or always wanted to see...). The introduction of these innovations will make you feel fresher and more independent and will strengthen your position.

When you miss someone, it’s a feeling that is created from an abrupt break of the habit. What you’re missing actually are emotional states, sensual feelings, situations, everything that you experience with one person, knowing that all of this the next time, even in identical situations, will be completely different.

That’s the charm of life, we are aware that some emotions will never be repeated in this way, at this level, in this dimension, and we miss them…

​​🍂The Eagle, the Cat and the Sow

Once, at the top of an oak, lived an Eagle. In the middle of the trunk lived a Cat and in a hollow at the foot, lived a Sow with her young ones.

The Cat was very cunning and wanted the whole tree for herself. She planned to drive awaB1y the other two.

She went to the Eagle and said, “Can you see the Sow digging at the roots of the tree? The tree will soon fall and she will eat our families!”

The Cat then went to the Sow and said to her, “The Eagle is waiting for a chance to feed your children to her babies.”

The clever Cat secretly went out at night, got food for her kittens and fed them. She pretended to be

scared and kept watching out for danger the whole day.

The Eagle was so scared that she did not fly anywhere. The Sow, too, was terribly afraid and did not

move out of her hollow at all. Both of them, along with

their families starved and died. The Cat and her family now had plenty of food to eat.

Always try to clear misunderstandings with
friends, rather than blindly believing others.
