Talk to our kids is something that sometimes makes us very ashamed on things they ask us. Kids don’t really think about anything, whatever they want to ask they do it. That is their natural instinct of curiosity when building up their knowledge or making their beliefs stronger. Have you ever felt embarrassed when your kids asked you something? Do you have dialogue with them? Are you open to any kind of talking like sex? How is the environment in your house? But do you listen to them? Are you the kind of patient or have no patience at all with them? Know that your behavior and actions are being copied or analyzed by your kids which later on will affect deeply on their selves, society, and your peace when they grow. so here are some tips to make things better on your life and house with them.

1. Start Early

Before anyone else put lots of wrong informations on their minds, you as a parent has a great opportunity to do it. Talk often and as earlier as possible about tough issues like sex, HIV/AIDS, violence, alcohol and drugs, etc…

2. Initiate Conversations

You gotta be smart to initiate a conversation and discuss the problems with you children. For example, if you’re watching a TV program with your child and they plot the topic teen pregnancy, it’s a great opportunity to start a conversation and see what you child thinks about it. But, if you have more than one kid and the other is a bit older talk to them in different places, because the older one tend to talk more and will dominate the situation so, would prevent the young one to speak up and express his/her thoughts.

3 - Talk About Taboos, Sex and Relationships

For God sake be courageous and talk about those issues. Try to overcome the nervousness and difficulties and bring up the topics because your kids are hearing it anyway through the media and on the playground with the others. Thus, is your chance to make things clearly.

4 . Create Open Environment

“If your child asks how many people exist with HIV don’t say simply I don’t know, finish your lunch, say things like I don’t know but that is an interesting question let’s look up after your lunch,” “or if your 10-year-old asks ” “Mom what’s a condom? while you’re negotiating a tricky turn in rush-hour traffic, it’s perfectly okay for you to say something like, “That’s an important question. But with all this traffic, I can’t explain right now. Let’s talk later, after dinner.” And make sure you do.”

5. Express Your Values

It’s a good opportunity to talk about drugs and violence before anyone else can confuse he/she with facts that lack the sense of values and moral principles. Make sure to make your beliefs clear.

6. Listen to Your Child

How many times we listen to them, even when we’re pushing a supermarket car or if we’re folding clothes and they start to talk don’t ignore them, listen carefully what they have to say, because it helps to build their self-esteem, in the sense that they feel important to us and if they ask you what crack is, before you answer ask him/her what he/she thinks it is. If he says, “I think it’s something you eat that makes you act funny,” then you have a clue of his level of understanding so, you can adjust your explanations to fit.

Listening to our children and taking their feelings into account also helps us understand when they’ve had enough. Suppose you’re answering your 9-year-old’s questions about AIDS. If after a while, he says, “I want to go out and play,” stop the talk and start the subject at another time. Remember be patient, “use everyday opportunities to talk and talk again, again and again because patience and persistence will serve you and your child well.”

Parents need to know and understand better about food to set what is healthy and what is junk food, in order to help their kids grow healthier.

Basically you don’t need to hire a nutritionist or a degree in nutrition to raise healthy kids. Bellow are some helpful guidance to help you encourage your kids to eat right and maintain a healthy weight.

1. You decide which foods to buy and when to serve them. You control what kind of food is stoked in the house, so when kids feel hungry will get what is in the fridge or stocked in the house. Buy once a while their not nutritious favorite snack, so they don’t feel deprived.

2. Let kids choose their food and the quantity they want because whatever they choose will be only from the List of foods you bought.

3. Allow the kids stop eating whenever they feel they’ve had enough; don’t do like the old fashion way as you were taught that they have to empty up the plate anyway. “don’t force them to eat”. Let they listen to their own bodies when they feel full. When kids notice and respond to feelings of fullness, they’re less likely to overeat.

4. Educate them to choose to the food on early stages, when they’re young. Thus, offer variety. Likes and dislikes begin forming even when kids are babies. You may need to serve a new food on several different occasions for a child to accept it. Don’t force a child to eat, but offer a few bites. With older kids, ask them to try one bite.

5. Make a different menu for kids. Who says kids only want to eat hot dogs, pizza, burgers, and macaroni and cheese? When eating out, let your kids try new foods and they might surprise you with their willingness to experiment. You can start by letting them try a little of whatever you ordered or ordering an appetizer for them to try.

6.Watch what kids drink. Soda and other sweetened drinks add extra calories and get in the way of good nutrition. Water and milk are the best drinks for kids. Juice is fine when it’s 100%, but kids don’t need much of it — 4 to 6 ounces a day is enough for preschoolers.

7. Sometimes Put sweets in their place. Occasional sweets are fine, but don’t turn dessert into the main reason for eating dinner. When dessert is the prize for eating dinner, kids naturally place more value on the cupcake than the broccoli. Try to stay neutral about foods.

8. Food is not love. Find better ways to say “I love you.” When foods are used to reward kids and show affection, they may start using food to cope with stress or other emotions. Offer hugs, praise, and attention instead of food treats.

9. Kids do as you do. Be a role model and eat healthy yourself. When trying to teach good eating habits, try to set the best example possible. Choose nutritious snacks, eat at the table, and don’t skip meals.

10. Limit TV and computer time. When you do, you’ll avoid mindless snacking and encourage activity. Research has shown that kids who cut down on TV-watching also reduced their percentage of body fat. When TV and computer time are limited, they’ll find more active things to do. And limiting “screen time” means you’ll have more time to be active together.

Researchers announced they have found a primordial spot which may represent the most massive object ever discovered in the early universe. It could helps to have a better clue of the earliest stages of galaxy formation, when the universe was just 800 million years old.

Just for you have a clue a light-year is the distance light travels in a year, about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers). An object 12.9 billion light-years away is seen as it existed 12.9 billion years ago, and the light is just now arriving.

The cloud predates similar blobs, known as Lyman-Alpha blobs, which existed when the universe was 2 billion to 3 billion years old.

According to researchers ,”Himiko”, as it was named, holds more than 10 times as much mass as the next largest object found in the early universe, or roughly the equivalent mass of 40 billion suns. At 55,000 light years across, it spans about half the diameter of our Milky Way Galaxy.

Lyman-Alpha blobs remain a mystery because existing telescopes have a hard time peering so far back to nearly the dawn of the universe.

Himiko sits right on the doorstep of an era called the reionization epoch, which lasted between 200 million and 1 billion years after the Big Bang. That’s when the universe had just emerged from its cosmic dark ages and had begun brightening through the formation of stars and galaxies.

On this weekend basically the whole world is celebrating the “Mother’s Day”. For some reasons some people already lost their mothers, but the ones who still have their mom’s is time to celebrate, right? Yes, but some people doesn’t even care about their mothers; some people don’t give the right value to their mothers. If you really think about, you have to give more value to your Mother; she’s the one who put you in the world, who took care of you when you were still baby and didn’t know anything; she’s the one who taught you the right or wrong thing, who assisted and helped you on your first steps in life.

“Mothers have the unbelievable ability to give you the shoulder when you need it and to give you the foot in the rear when you need that too. Usually they’re the one you don’t want to upset too much in the house. Mothers have the ability to know that fine line of when to give you a hug and when to point you to do things right.” Mother’s day is not only to celebrate over this weekend it’s EVERYDAY.

Truth have to be said that the USA economy is crashed but there are some negative minds everywhere, e.g, if the economy was bad and aparently everything was fine; we have to think positively because the account is simple, after figured out, more or less, how big was the damage in the economy, Obama’s administration asked some money for the bailout and it was approved to cover the big damage made by the administrations before. Lets think that way if you have a deficit and you get the money to cover it; obviously the deficit has to be eliminated.

But the negative minds are making it very though to the public that the economy will not return to be at least what it was before for long time or maybe never. If the money to cover the damage in the economy was gotten and past to the needed ones thus, at least we have to expect things go back to their normal track, or at least keep dreaming the way before that everything is perfect and there is not crashed economy.

Sahan Dosova of Kazakhstan celebrated her birthday this past Friday of March 27, and her family claims it was her 130th! Her passport states that she was born on March 27th, 1879, which makes her 130 years old.

Many skeptics and doctors don’t believe her age because her only living daughter is currently 76 years old, which means she gave birth at 54. 1 of her many grandchildren of 35 said that Dosova grew up an orphan,married and had 10 children. 7 of them died of cold and hunger. Her husband was also killed, she said. Despite the doubters, the Kazakhstan government and Dosova’s doctor believed in fact she was 130years old. She won’t be put in the book of The Guinness Book of World Records because of lack of documentation to prove it all. Dosova said that back then as a little girl birth certificates weren’t given. But bt Kazakhstan officials and her doctor still back up her claim.

Former Miss Florida Teen USA Kayla Collier was 15 when she first visited a tanning salon.
She started making this a routine so the stage lights at a local pageant wouldn’t make
her fair skin look so ghostly white.

Later during the year, while she was shopping for homecoming dresses her mother noticed a scab on her back. Turns out she had some sort of skin cancer. She couldnt confirm if the cancer had came from the tanning beds but she said, “I do believe that it did play a part in my skin cancer. She knew many teens that went once or twice a week, but there’s many that go once or twice a day! Doctors have said that just a few times tanning can cause melanoma (malignant neoplasms, usually of the skin, consisting of melanocytes). “Kayla got her voice heard from the Sunshine State lawmakers to ban people under 16 from using tanning beds. Florida already requires parental approval before minors can use tanning salons. If the new law passes, it would be among the strictest in the nation!

Canned foods like fruits can be stored for up to 18 months, and vegetables and meats can be up to 2 years and more.

Store your canned foods in a cool, dry place. Majority of the time the results of spoiled canned food is from storing them in a cabinet over the stove or under a sink. Here are some signs that show if the food is spoiled:

1-If the food had bad odor

2-If liquid or foam spurts out when you open the can

A former Veteran who served his country honorably, James Gentry is dying of lung cancer. Sad thing is, he’s not the only one. Many troops had cases of severe bloody noses,tumors and rashes. Some conclusions have been made and news reports had suggested that these injuries may have something to do with the exposure of toxins of a KBR-run power plant in Iraq. There where two men guarding this plant, and James was one of them. James was stationed to the site for several months without knowing it was contaminated by a chemical known as Hexavalent Chromium.

It’s known to be a deadly chemical and James believes that his cancer came from inhaling this toxin in for too long. If this tragic story is proven true,checks will be signed and contracts will be cancelled. James had did his job serving and being loyal to his country. But the company didn’t keep their part on keeping things safe. Medical registry is being created for the military. We need the real answers from KBR!!!

Today Americans are finding their tricks for fixing supplies such as cellphones,
computers and simplist things like making a credict card work. It won’t be soon that
mankind will continue to come up with other homegrown fixes and simply just live off
of it.We don’t know how it works, it just does!
Here are 8 simple tricks that can help you with your technical problems:

1.For a Cellphone Losing Charge
Let’s say your cellphone lost all its charge very quickly and you’re away
from home without your charger. You should turn off you phone and

2.Your Remote Car Key Ain’t Working?

the parking lot and you don’t wanna walk all the way over. Here’s what you
should do. Take the metal key and place it under your chin, then press the unlock botton. The door will open because your
head works like a antenna because of all the fluids in your head. Cool huh?

3.The Ink Is Just About to Run Out!
You’re printing out an important print job and suddenly no more ink!
You got to remove the ink cartridge and run a hair dryer over it.
The heat will melt the thick ink inside making it run out smoother resulting in more
ink!

4.You Dropped Your Cell Phone in the Toilet?!
You take the battery out immediately, wipe the phone with a paper towel before the electrical circuts start frying the inside internals. Then shove it in a jar of uncooked rice. Weird you say? Rice has a high chemical affinity for water, so that means the rice have a magnetic attraction to water. Resulting that the ice will soak up all the water molecules that is in the phone.

5.Dealing with Dirty Disks?
If you don’t have the proper fluid for cleaning the DVD, get a washcloth soak it and wash the DVD with Vodka or Mouthwash. The Alcohol is a powerful substance that dissolves fingerprints and the grime on the surface of the DVD.

7.A Crashed Hardrive
If your PC’s hard drive doesen’t read, don’t be too quick to throw it out.
Stick it in the freezer overnight. Lowering the drive’s temperature causes its metal and plastic internals to contract ever so slightly. Taking the drive out of the freezer, and returning it to room temperature can cause those parts to expand again.

Was it irresponsible for Wall Street to hand out 18.4 billion in bonus for the year to its workers? President Obama is calling this “Shameful”. The president gather with his economic team including Vice President Biden and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and spoke about how
Wall Street could have shown more discipline and responsibility with their actions. For the employees to be paid more than 18 billion in bonuses last year while their financial sector was recieving a bailout from taxpayers and some bankers took home millions last year even as their employers lost billions! Shameful isn’t it? The state comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli said it was uncertain if banks had used tax money for the bonuses, a possibility that strikes corporate governance experts, and indeed many ordinary Americans as outrageous. Obama administration will examine the issue closely.

There are several opinions as to the origin of Valentine’s Day History. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer’s daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it “From Your Valentine”. Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.

Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ball.

In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introduced in the 1800’s and now the date is very commercialised. The town of Loveland, Colorado, does a large post office business around February 14. The spirit of good continues as valentines are sent out with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school.

Face Book Turns It’s Fifth Year

A Web site started by a student as a way of staying in touch with friends celebrated its fifth birthday Wednesday as a billion-dollar business and a global phenomenon.
