Myths and lies created by black people in order to make themselves look better are many. Harvard professor and chairman of African and African-American Studies reveals it in this great documentary.

Let truth be known once and for all!! Native americans DO NOT come from Africa!!
Blacks, Africans, people from africa is what you are. no need to nit-pick at it, or twist it to make it seem like you descend from a holy place on the moon. are you all this ashamed to be from where you truly are that you feel the need to claim other identities around the world!?

Eating for better sex

Eric R. Braverman, MD and author of Younger Sexier You: Look and Feel 15 Years Younger by Having The Best Sex of Your Life helps us understand how diet affects our sex drive and explains what to eat for a better time in bed.

Sex drive and dietYour unique brain chemistry governs your sex drive, mentally and physically, Dr. Braverman explains. If you are deficient in certain brain chemicals, your sex drive will be affected. “Certain foods are precursors to these brain chemicals, so if you can increase your intake of them, you will be able to better balance your brain chemistry, and enhance your sex life,” he says.

Dealing with deficiencies
Find a fix with these foods: If you lack libido..., you may be low in the brain chemical dopamine.

Food fix: eating lean proteins can increase your ability to create more dopamine.
If your issue is arousal or lubrication...If your issue is arousal or lubrication, you could be low in the brain chemical acetylcholine.

Food fix: legumes, eggs and whole grains are a good source of choline, the precursor to this brain chemical.

If you are anxious about sex and unable to achieve orgasm, your GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) might be unbalanced.

Food fix: eat more whole grains and high fiber foods in order to get this brain chemical regulated.
Other sex-boosting foodsApplesApples contain phenylethylamine (PEA), which gives you a natural feeling of well-being and excitement, explains Dr. Braverman. Chocolate contains more PEA than apples (the darker the chocolate, the more PEA), and cheese contains even more PEA than chocolate.

Avocado
Avocado contains vitamin B6, which helps to increase testosterone and potassium and regulate the thyroid gland. Both of these elements enhance libido.

Nuts
Nuts contain essential fatty acids that help keep the brain alert. Almonds in particular are believed to arouse passion in women. Nuts are also thought to enhance your body's own PEA, and are known to boost testosterone.

Fish
Oily fish contain omega-3 fatty acids. Found in salmon, mackerel, or trout, they make the blood less sticky, which enhances blood flow throughout the body.

Shield yourself from mobile radiation

Mobile radiation and its effects on the human body is a huge problem. But a new product is about to solve that.

The product is smaller than a five-cent piece but powerful enough to shield us from the potentially harmful electromagnetic radiation generated by mobile phones and other electronic devices.

The Qlink Mini employs patented Sympathetic Resonance Technology (SRT), which can maintain the strength of naturally occurring protective energy systems within our bodies.

The Qlink Mini, priced at 48 dollars, is programmed with naturally occurring frequencies, which resonate with our body's energy system just like a piano string would resonate with a tuning fork.

This then shields us from exposure to outside stresses and electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which can cause sickness and disease.

Apart from radiation frequency, mobiles also generate electromagnetic fields which travel much further into the human body.

John Gearon, CEO of Qlink Australia, says the Qlink Mini is the result of many years of research.
"We created the Qlink Mini after fine tuning and testing our technology which has been scientifically proven and tested for the past 20 years," the Daily Telegraph quoted Gearon as saying.

"We have seen over many years how the symptoms of mobile phone radiation can cause on the human energy system and on brainwave function through scientific testing.

"Mobile radiation and the effects on the human body is a huge problem and it affects everyone who uses a mobile phone.

Upsilon Andromedae b

Astronomers Find Weird, Warm Spot on an Exoplanet

The gas-giant planet, named upsilon Andromedae b, orbits tightly around its star, with one face perpetually boiling under the star's heat. It belongs to a class of planets termed hot Jupiters, so called for their scorching temperatures and large, gaseous constitutions.

One might think the hottest part of these planets would be directly under the sun-facing side, but previous observations have shown that their hot spots may be shifted slightly away from this point. Astronomers thought that fierce winds might be pushing hot, gaseous material around.

But the new finding may throw this theory into question. Using Spitzer, an infrared observatory, astronomers found that upsilon Andromedae b's hot spot is offset by a whopping 80 degrees. Basically, the hot spot is over to the side of the planet instead of directly under the glare of the sun.

"We really didn't expect to find a hot spot with such a large offset," said Ian Crossfield, lead author of a new paper about the discovery appearing in an upcoming issue of Astrophysical Journal. "It's clear that we understand even less about the atmospheric energetics of hot Jupiters than we thought we did."

The results are part of a growing field of exoplanet atmospheric science, pioneered by Spitzer in 2005, when it became the first telescope to directly detect photons from an exoplanet, or a planet orbiting a star other than our sun. Since then, Spitzer, along with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, has studied the atmospheres of several hot Jupiters, finding water, methane, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

In the new study, astronomers report observations of upsilon Andromedae b taken across five days in February of 2009. This planet whips around its star every 4.6 days, as measured using the "wobble," or radial velocity technique, with telescopes on the ground. It does not transit, or cross in front of, its star as many other hot Jupiters studied by Spitzer do.

Spitzer measured the total combined light from the star and planet, as the planet orbited around. The telescope can't see the planet directly, but it can detect variations in the total infrared light from the system that arise as the hot side of the planet comes into Earth's field of view. The hottest part of the planet will give off the most infrared light.

One might think the system would appear brightest when the planet was directly behind the star, thus showing its full sun-facing side. Likewise, one might think the system would appear darkest when the planet swings around toward Earth, showing its backside. But the system was the brightest when the planet was to the side of the star, with its side facing Earth. This means that the hottest part of the planet is not under its star. It's sort of like going to the beach at sunset to feel the most heat. The researchers aren't sure how this could be.

They've guessed at some possibilities, including supersonic winds triggering shock waves that heat material up, and star-planet magnetic interactions. But these are just speculation. As more hot Jupiters are examined, astronomers will test new theories.

"This is a very unexpected result," said Michael Werner, the Spitzer project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., who was not a part of the study. "Spitzer is showing us that we are a long way from understanding these alien worlds."

The Spitzer observations were made before it ran out of its liquid coolant in May 2009, officially beginning its warm mission.

Other authors of the study are Brad Hansen of UCLA; Joseph Harrington at the University of Central Florida, Orlando; James Y-K. Cho of Queen Mary, University of London, United Kingdom; Drake Deming of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.; Kristen Menou of Columbia University, New York, N.Y.; and Sara Seager of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston.

The World from a New View

Same World New View

It came as a surprise to me after over 20 years of seeing "normal" world maps to come across an upside down one. The most surprising thing was that I found it surprising. It is completely artificial that we have North at the top of a map.
The convention came a few centuries ago when Northern hemisphere, European navigators started using the North star and the magnetic compass. Before that, the top of the map was to the East which is where the word orientation comes from.

Hard to believe that I'd not only been educated into one stereotype about maps, but even after learning that stereotype had failed to spot the other one.
I'm interested in Upsidedown Maps because they make me rethink the world. It's important to remember that there are people all over it. Since hanging one on my wall I've learnt geography again. You can reevaluate the world from scratch, as if it was a brand new alien landscape.
Indonesia looks like by far the most interesting place from orbit.
