Chintana

The word 'Guru' is formed from two parts, Gu, and Ru. Gu stands for darkness and
Ru stands for removal of that darkness. The person who dispels one's darkness (ignorance)
and leads one to light (knowledge) is called a Guru. Only such a person, who gives one
self-knowledge, can be called a Guru, none else. The corollary of this phrase such as
'Management Guru' are contradictions.

(336 AD) Christmas day was supposedly observed for the first time. Previously, Christmas celebrations were fairly uncommon, and usually took place in January if at all. Many early Christians felt that it was immoral to celebrate Christmas, since it was so similar to pagan celebrations of the time. It supposedly became popularly celebrated in 336 after the roman leader Contstanine made Christianity the religion of the empire.

Facts about Magnesium

Magnesium is the required mineral for good health. It was Sir Humphry Davy who segregated magnesium from Epson salts as magnesium does not exists in Free State. Magnesium is found in different proportions in different parts of our body; half of it is in cells and tissues, other half combined with other materials form our body framework and only a very little of it is found in our blood. Magnesium is there fore essential for proper functioning of nervous system, heart, regulation of blood pressure and for maintaining our bones. It also helps to metabolize energy and to break proteins for proper digestion.

The requirement of magnesium of our body cannot be met with the food we eat daily as it contains a meager amount of magnesium. To fulfill the need of the body one needs to eat variety of green vegetables as the chlorophyll pigment contains magnesium, other than this the mineral can be found in nuts, seeds and few whole grains. Fruits should also be taken in good amount. For non vegetarians meats and sea foods are of great help.

People involved in heavy physical activities should be on high magnesium diet as it helps in transmitting oxygen to the tissues, magnesium helps children in increasing their concentration level.

As excess of anything is bad same is the case with magnesium, in case of excess intake of magnesium a person might suffer kidney failure, muscle weakness, cramps, irregularity of heartbeats and extreme diarrhea. Generally people who are alcoholic, or are suffering with gastrointestinal and renal diseases are magnesium deficient.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency are irritation, tiredness, loss of appetite and concentration, muscular weakness and abnormal heartbeat. Women need to be very careful about their magnesium intake after menopause the deficiency might lead to osteoporosis.

An educative post.

In India Hair Care business has a mushroom growth day by day with the Western
influence. Personal Hygiene and Appearance are order of the day. There is lot
of Adds, these days, about imparting knowledge regarding on "need to know topics"
and "how to care of hair and avoid fall of hair" etc. There are many fashionable
Saloons to educate people on Hair fall, dandruff, oily hair, dry hair, split ends,
rough hair, short hair, bald head, etc. This is no doubt a scientific development
to astonish and appreciate, rather than going to good old days exercises practiced
in the villages.

Psychologist Robert Feldman cites self-esteem as one of the biggest culprits in our lying ways: "We find that as soon as people feel that their self-esteem is threatened, they immediately begin to lie at higher levels." Feldman believes many lies are simply for the purpose of maintaining social contacts by avoiding insults or discord.
Small lies that avoid conflict are probably the most common sort of lie...and avoiding conflict is a top motivator for deception.
For example: someone lying about traffic holding them up, rather than sleeping in... or a "no, you look great in those pants" -- both sorts of lies acheive the effect of avoiding social conflict. They are "make life easier" kinds of lies.
Back to the self-esteem angle:
The farther one's true self is from their ideal self, the more likely they are to lie to boost themselves up, in others' eyes or their eyes... or perhaps how they percieve others to perceive them. Hmmm... that is a hard train of thought to follow, but lying is a complex phenomenon.
