The most comprehensive review of the effects of sedentary behavior on health and risk of death has intensified the call to reduce time spent being sedentary as well as increasing physical activity.The study determines that the physiological evidence now available should be used to sharpen public health and clinical practice guidelines to extend beyond just the broadly prescribed message to exercise more, and to move towards a more comprehensive message of "sit less, move more and exercise."

Old First Message: Exercise More. New First Message: Sit Less. 

So many of us think that if we go for a short walk, a jog, or do a session at the gym after a day sitting at our desks that we're doing as much as we need to for good health, but it's not the case. That's because the benefits of those physical activities depend on how much time you spend sitting.If, for example, you sat at your desk for hours, but then went out for a jog after work, yes, you'd certainly gain some health benefits from that run, but the nine hours seated during the day drags those health benefits down.

Sitting Negates Exercise

By breaking up sitting throughout the day, you break the accumulation of your sedentary time, which basically restarts the body's engine (our muscles) and lowers risk.

Sedentary Time Accumulates

In the same way that the benefits that stem from physical activity depend on how much time is spent sitting, the health risks resulting from excessive sitting also depend on how much physical activity a person undertakes. That's why the question of how much sitting time you're doing should be asked in conjunction with how much physical activity you're undertaking, and that if you're physically inactive and sitting for long periods, you could initially start with a reduction in sitting time as a pathway to being more active.We have to sit less, move more and exercise to reduce our health risk.

So, “How Much Time Do You Spend Sitting”?

“Oh, you exercised for this long. And how long were you sedentary for?”

The Benefits Of Exercise Depend On The Hours Spent Sitting

“There is no one else. In this universe, there’s just you and me. But all the people on earth… All you. Different incarnations of you. Wait. I’m everyone!? I’m every human being who ever lived? Or who will ever live, yes."	The Egg

A process of survival after death whereby a certain immaterial, individual principle ("soul", "vital substance", "individual consciousness", "energy", even "spirit") completes successive life passages in different bodies (human, animal or vegetable, depending on the theory). This concept is mainly associated with the religions of the Indian subcontinent - Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism.

REINCARNATION

“Every time you victimized someone you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.” The Egg

"You’re a fetus. You’re still growing. Once you’ve lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born. So the whole universe it’s just… an egg.” The Egg

<ul><li>dealing with grief: when someone close to us dies, let's remember that it's a part of us that's leaving to come back. </li><li>lifestyle: "The important thing is not the destination, but the journey itself." Staying focused on our goals prevents us from enjoying the present moment.</li><li>reason for living: we live to mature and grow into a great spirit. every good and bad experience is a step in this direction. </li><li>how to behave with others: love your neighbor as you love yourself. Every time you hurt someone else, you hurt yourself.</li></ul>

LIFE LESSON OF THE EGG

“Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine."The Egg

"He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe."

We are all children of the stars. Everything that makes up our bodies: our bones, our muscles, our skin are living tissues composed of molecules, themselves made up of atoms of carbon, oxygen, iron, nitrogen and calcium. All these elements were manufactured in the heart of the stars. These are the same atoms found in trees, flowers and all animals.

CHILDREN OF THE STARS 

Several natural biological cycles link the carbon found in the air to plants, as it is absorbed via carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. This plant carbon is consumed by herbivorous animals, then by carnivores and finally by super predators, including mankind.Finally, all this forms a natural cycle that operates in a loop on Earth. But in the beginning, all these atoms originated in the stars. That's why we're all stardust!Source : <a href="https://www.espace-sciences.org/multimedia/audios/sommes-nous-des-poussieres-d-etoiles">www.espace-sciences.org</a>

HOW IS IT THAT THE CARBON FORMED AT THE HEART OF THE STARS ENDS UP IN THE HUMAN BODY ?

Life is an endless cycle.<ul><li>in religion:  "Death is certain for those who have been born, and birth is certain for those who have died." BHAGAVAD-GITA</li><li>in philosophy: "Nothing is born or dies, but things that already exist combine, then separate again." ANAXAGORAS</li><li>in science: “Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed" LAVOISIER</li></ul>

The Egg - A Short Story

The Eiffel Tower's height fluctuates seasonally due to temperature changes, and it can indeed be up to 15 centimeters taller in the summer compared to the winter. Read next how this is happening!

The Eiffel Tower Can Be 15 cm Taller in the Summer

Material Expansion: The Eiffel Tower is primarily made of iron, which expands when exposed to higher temperatures and contracts when it gets colder. This property is known as thermal expansion. When the tower is subjected to the higher temperatures of summer, the iron components expand, causing the entire structure to increase in height.

Material Expansion

Mathematically, thermal expansion is described using the coefficient of thermal expansion (α), which quantifies how a material's size changes with temperature. The formula for linear thermal expansion, which applies to one-dimensional changes in length, is as follows:ΔL = α * L * ΔTWhere:ΔL is the change in length of the material.α (alpha) is the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, typically given in units of per degree Celsius (°C)^(-1) or per degree Fahrenheit (°F)^(-1).L is the original length of the material.ΔT is the change in temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).

Iron has a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion, which means it expands and contracts significantly with temperature changes. When the temperature rises, the iron in the tower's structure expands, causing the various parts of the tower to move slightly away from each other, resulting in an increase in height.

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

The height of the Eiffel Tower is precisely measured at various times throughout the year to account for these seasonal changes. This is especially important for engineering and safety purposes. The tower's height is also adjusted in official records to reflect these variations.

Exact Measurement

The height change due to temperature fluctuations can be as much as 15 centimeters (about 6 inches) between winter and summer. While this may seem like a small difference, it's a testament to the accuracy and precision in both the construction and maintenance of the iconic tower.

Height Fluctuations

In summary, the Eiffel Tower's height can vary with the seasons due to the thermal expansion and contraction of its iron components in response to temperature changes. This natural phenomenon is carefully monitored and accounted for to maintain the accuracy of the tower's recorded height.

Honey is a natural sweet substance produced by bees from the nectar of flowers. It is a remarkable and versatile food product with a rich history and numerous health benefits, but do you know that honey never gets spoiled ! Read next the reasons why honey never gets spoiled.

Why Do Honey Never Spoils ?

Honey has a very low moisture content, typically around 17 to 18%. Bacteria and microorganisms require a certain level of moisture to thrive and multiply. In honey, the low moisture content inhibits the growth of these microorganisms, making it an inhospitable environment for spoilage.

Low Moisture Content

Honey is primarily composed of sugars, mainly glucose and fructose. The high sugar concentration creates a hypertonic environment, meaning it has a high solute concentration compared to the water content. This makes it difficult for microorganisms to draw water from their environment, which is necessary for their metabolic processes. As a result, honey acts as a natural preservative.

High Sugar Content

Honey is naturally acidic, with a pH ranging from about 3.2 to 4.5. The acidity of honey also inhibits the growth of many spoilage-causing microorganisms. Most bacteria and fungi thrive in neutral to slightly acidic conditions, so the acidic nature of honey is detrimental to their survival.

Acidity

Honey contains small amounts of hydrogen peroxide, which is a natural antiseptic. This hydrogen peroxide is produced by enzymes in the bees bodies and is released into the honey. It further contributes to honey's antimicrobial properties.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Honey's high sugar content creates a high osmotic pressure. This means that honey draws moisture out of any microorganisms that come into contact with it, effectively dehydrating and killing them.

Osmotic Pressure

Honey also contains trace amounts of other compounds with antimicrobial properties, such as phytochemicals ( Phytochemicals, also known as phytonutrients, are natural compounds found in plants that have been associated with various health benefits) and antioxidants. These natural preservatives help to keep honey from spoiling.

Natural Preservatives

Over time, honey can crystallize, forming sugar crystals. While this might change the texture of the honey, it doesn't indicate spoilage. Crystallized honey can be returned to its liquid state by gently warming it.

Crystallization

Honey won't go bad as long as it's stored properly and protected from external contamination. Crystallized honey is not an indicator of spoilage, but rather a sign of aging. To prevent honey from solidifying, keep your honey in an airtight container and place it in a cool, dark spot.

Bottom Line

Is that crystallized honey sitting in your pantry still OK to use? Here's what you need to know about honey and whether it ever expires.

Does Honey Go Bad?

The Werther effect is a copycat effect of suicidal behavior following a suicide that has been widely publicized by the media.In 1974, David Phillips a American sociologist introduced the Werther effect. The name goes back to the novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe called The Sorrows of Young Werther.The novel's publication in 1774 was associated with an increased suicide rate. However, a causal connection is scientifically disputed.

The Werther effect: A spike of emulation

This life. This night.Your story. Your pain. Your hope. It matters. All of it matters.

The novel tells of Werther, who leaves his town because of a failed romance and now lives in a village called Wahlheim.There, he falls deeply in love with Charlotte, before learning that she is engaged to another man named Albert.Feeling like leaving, he sets off for Weimar to visit an old friend, but feels inexplicably out of place when he is thrown into an environment that is the complete opposite of where he came from.Upon his return to Wahlheim, he visits Charlotte, whose now married, and declares his love for her. After he sees that she loves him too, he takes his own life.

The Sorrows of Young Werther

When you feel like giving up, just remember the reason why you held onfor so long.

The Netﬂix series showed indications of the Werther effect because of the suicide of the protagonist.Several studies have shown that the suicide rate in the U.S. has increased among adolescents since then. It was particularly pronounced among girls between the ages of 10-19.

Dead Girls Don't Lie

Be there for others,but never leave yourself behind.

<ul><li> Talk. Talk about your feelings with the people you trust. I know you think that nobody would understand you and your thoughts, but this is wrong.</li><li>If you think you might harm yourself, call the emergency services.</li><li>Make a crises plan & box!</li><li>Don't make decisions too fast!</li><li>Think about the people who care about you and who you love.</li><li>Get out of the way of negativity.</li><li>Distract yourself (Go to deepstash:), read books, draw, hear music...)</li></ul>

Suicidal Thoughts

You are important!You are so much more than you think you are!You are beautiful the way you are.So don't give upbecause the world cherishes you!

The Papageno effect refers to the influence that the mass media can have in responsibly reporting on suicide and highlighting alternatives to suicide in crisis. When media focus on coping strategies for suicidal thoughts, it has a positive effect and can increase knowledge about prevention and decrease suicidal thoughts.It's named after Papageno a character in Mozart's opera The Magic Flute.

The Papageno effect: A coping strategy for suicidal behavior

Many of life 's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

At the beginning of the opera, Prince Tamino falls in love with the beautiful Pamina, but she is kidnapped. Together with the bird catcher Papageno, a young man in a feather costume, he rescues his beloved from the palace of the kidnapper, the evil priest Sarastro.In the course of the opera, Papageno goes through a suicidal crisis situation, but he is able to overcome it successfully.

The Magic Flute

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Somewhere in the world, in the next forty seconds, a person is going to commit suicide. Globally, suicides account for 50 percent of all violent deaths among men and 71 percent for women. Despite suicide prevention programs, therapy, and pharmacological treatments, the suicide rate is either increasing or remaining high around the world. Media and Suicide holds traditional and emergent media accountable for influencing an individual’s decision to commit suicide. Global experts present research, historical analysis, theoretical disputes (including discussion on the Werther and Papageno effects), and policy regarding the media’s impact on suicide. They answer questions about the effects of different types of media and storytelling, show how the impact of social media can be diminished, discuss internet bullying, mass-shootings and mass-suicides, show the effects of recovery stories, and much more. The editors also present examples of suicide policy in the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Hong Kong on how to best communicate reporting guidelines to decrease the copycat effect, especially in less developed nations where most of the world’s nearly one million suicides occur each year. Although there is much work to be done to prevent media-influenced suicide, this innovative volume will contribute a large piece to this complex puzzle.

Media and Suicide

If a 5- or a 6-year old asks why the moon is round or why grass is green, the usual adult answer, at least in my experience, is to discourage the child; to say “What shape did you expect the moon to be? Square?” or “What colour did you expect the grass to be? Blue?”Instead of saying that, say “Those are interesting questions; let’s try to find out the answer” or “Maybe nobody knows the answer and when you grow up you will be able to discover the answer”.It would be very healthy for the human species if there were less discouragement and more scientists.

Less discouragement. And more scientists. 

Astronomer Carl Sagan On (Children And Their) Curious Questions

<ul><li>The greatest achievement of the human brain is its ability to imagine objects and episodes that do not exist in the realm of the real, and it is this ability that allows us to think about the future.</li><li>Our brains were made for nexting, and that’s just what they’ll do.</li><li>Happiness is a word that we use to indicate an experience and not the actions that give rise to it.</li></ul>

The Joy Of Next 

“Perceptions are portraits, not photographs, and their form reveals the artist’s hand every bit as much as it reflects the things portrayed.”

“Imagination’s tendency to fill in and leave out without telling us.”<ul><li>No one can imagine every feature and consequence of a future event, hence we must consider some and fail to consider others. The problem is that the features and consequences we fail to consider are often quite important.</li><li>Our experience is compressed as a summary phrase (“Dinner was disappointing”) or a small set of key features (tough steak, corked wine, snotty waiter) in memory.</li></ul>

First Shortcoming Of Imagination 

“Imagination’s tendency to project the present onto the future.”<ul><li>When imagination paints a picture of the future, many of the details are necessarily missing, and imagination solves this problem by filling in the gaps with details that it borrows from the present.</li></ul>

Second Shortcoming Of Imagination

“Imagination’s failure to recognize that things will look different once they happen—in particular, that bad things will look a whole lot better.”<ul><li>When we imagine losing a job, for instance, we imagine the painful experience (“The boss will march into my office, shut the door behind him . . .”) without also imagining how our psychological immune systems will transform its meaning (“I’ll come to realize that this was an opportunity to quit retail sales and follow my true calling as a sculptor”).</li></ul>

Third Shortcoming Of Imagination 

“The truth is, bad things don’t affect us as profoundly as we expect them to. That’s true of good things, too. We adapt very quickly to either.

“Your mistake was not in imagining things you could not know—that is, after all, what imagination is for. Rather, your mistake was in unthinkingly treating what you imagined as though it were an accurate representation of the facts. You are a very fine person, I’m sure. But you are a very bad wizard.”

“The fact that the least likely experience is often the most likely memory can wreak havoc with our ability to predict future experiences.”

Among life’s cruelest truths is this one: “Wonderful things are especially wonderful the first time they happen, but their wonderfulness wanes with repetition.”<ol><li>One way to beat habituation is to increase the variety of one’s experiences (“Hey, honey, I have a kinky idea—let’s watch the sun set from the kitchen this time”).</li><li>Another way to beat habituation is to increase the amount of time that separates repetitions of the experience. </li></ol>

Next To Nothing

“If we were to experience the world exactly as it is, we’d be too depressed to get out of bed in the morning, but if we were to experience the world exactly as we want it to be, we’d be too deluded to find our slippers. We may see the world through rose-colored glasses, but rose-colored glasses are neither opaque nor clear.”

<ul><li>People tend to see what they want to see.</li><li>By controlling the sample of information to which they were exposed, these people indirectly controlled the conclusions they would draw.</li><li>To ensure that our views are credible, our brain accepts what our eye sees. To ensure that our views are positive, our eye looks for what our brain wants. The conspiracy between these two servants allows us to live at the fulcrum of stark reality and comforting illusion.</li></ul>

Challenging Facts

“For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

<ul><li>Researchers have discovered that when people find it easy to imagine an event, they overestimate the likelihood that it will actually occur.</li><li>Because most of us get so much more practice imagining good than bad events, we tend to overestimate the likelihood that good events will actually happen to us, which leads us to be unrealistically optimistic about our futures.</li><li>The key to happiness, fulfillment, and enlightenment, is to stop thinking so much about the future.</li></ul>

Twisting Fate

“Instead of remembering our past experience in order to simulate our future experience, perhaps we should simply ask other people to introspect on their inner states. Perhaps we should give up on remembering and imagining entirely and use other people as surrogates for our future selves.”

“ One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness; one only stumbles upon them by chance. “

"Every man is happy until happiness is suddenly a goal"

Despite the third word of the title, this is not an instruction manual that will tell you
anything useful about how to be happy. Instead, this is a book that describes what science has to tell us about how and how well the human brain can imagine its own future, and about how and how well it can predict which of those futures it will most enjoy….

In this fascinating and often hilarious work – winner of the Royal Society of Science Prize 2007 – pre-eminent psychologist Daniel Gilbert shows how – and why – the majority of us have no idea how to make ourselves happy. We all want to be happy, but do we know how? When it comes to improving tomorrow at the expense of today, we're terrible at predicting how to please our future selves. In ‘Stumbling on Happiness’ Professor Daniel Gilbert combines psychology, neuroscience, economics and philosophy with irrepressible wit to describe how the human brain imagines its future – and how well (or badly) it predicts what it will enjoy. Revealing some of the amazing secrets of human motivation, he also answers thought-provoking questions – why do dining companions order different meals instead of getting what they want? Why are shoppers happier when they can't get refunds? And why are couples less satisfied after having children while insisting that their kids are a source of joy?

education

Learning & Education

A smart and funny book by a prominent Harvard psychologist, which uses groundbreaking research and (often hilarious) anecdotes to show us why we’re so lousy at predicting what will make us happy – and what we can do about it. Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had expected. Why? As Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert explains, when people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes. Just as memory plays tricks on us when we try to look backward in time, so does imagination play tricks when we try to look forward. Using cutting-edge research, much of it original, Gilbert shakes, cajoles, persuades, tricks and jokes us into accepting the fact that happiness is not really what or where we thought it was. Among the unexpected questions he poses: Why are conjoined twins no less happy than the general population? When you go out to eat, is it better to order your favourite dish every time, or to try something new? If Ingrid Bergman hadn’t gotten on the plane at the end of Casablanca, would she and Bogey have been better off? Smart, witty, accessible and laugh-out-loud funny, Stumbling on Happiness brilliantly describes all that science has to tell us about the uniquely human ability to envision the future, and how likely we are to enjoy it when we get there.

Daniel Gilbert is an accomplished writer whose work has resonated with readers around the world. Daniel Gilbert has published several books that explore a range of topics, from fiction to nonfiction, and has received critical acclaim for the ability to weave compelling narratives. Daniel Gilbert's writing style is known for its depth and authenticity, and has earned quite a loyal following of readers.

1. Clarity

To be in a fine , good ( heathy ) relationship , we or there need to have mutually taken decisions . Those decisions are talked in very understanding manner .Questions to ask to ourselves : " Was or Am I able to clear my point in understandable way while being calm ? "

2. Mutuality 

Trust"A relationship without trust is like a car without fuel, it can’t move ahead. " We usually do some things like , Saving some secrets for better or lying for the betterment of you partner .Then we think , we did best we could .But actually we did worst.The dangerous thing about these things : It degreeds the trust . It doesn't matter,be clear with what have you done or going to do , at last that the main thing , we share our things with our partners .And That is the best we could do .

3. Be Honest at every Point (Truth)

One of common reason , why relationships fail ? AttentionWe usually are fallen for the factor attention .Attentions makes us feel important .Sometimes problems may arise that our partner is important to us but they don't feel that thing , they think they are not in our priority . Answers : <ul><li>Let them know or feel their importance to us .</li><li>Give then your time </li><li>Give them attentions </li></ul>(Give means they deserve.)

4. Prioritize Partner

We don't trust or we fear the abyss in the deep water .Only because we don't know what is comming or what is still there .Just like that Not knowing whats still there or comming makes our partner insecure about our actions .Being secretive doesn't help , many times .Later those actions make seem like there is no trust .Answer :Let them know about yourself as the time passes .| After Reading

We all know that the Earth has one natural satellite that is none other than our Moon .But can our Earth handle many other moons, if so then how many it could handle

 ❓

There's two conditions to be met beforehand :<ul><li>It shouldn't be too far ; otherwise it could not follow a stable orbit .</li><li>It shouldn't be either too close ; for it will be crumbled into pieces by our planet's gravitational pull.</li></ul>So ,we get the upper limit and lower limit. It is our "Moon Zone"

Conditions 

Each moon that goes round the Earth requires it's own sub moon zone. It shouldn't interfere with other moon's zone . It should be spaced out like an athletic field.

Sub Moon Zone 

There are only certain configurations:<ul><li>Seven moons with the size of dwarf planet 'Ceres'</li><li>Four Pluto-sized moons</li><li>Three Moon- sized moons</li></ul>

Possible Moon

<ul><li>Gigantic Waves</li><li>Changed Calendar Systems</li></ul>On some nights we could see three moons casting partial shadows on each other!!!
