Bees killed by mobile phone signalsکشته شدن زنبورها با سیگنالهای تلفن همراه؟؟؟؟؟؟

An unusually high number of honey bee deaths in Britain this year may be caused by radiation from mobile phone signals, say experts.

In some cases, 70 per cent of bees exposed to radiation failed to find their way back to the hive after searching for pollen and nectar, according to the research by Landau University.

John Chapple, one of London's foremost beekeepers, said 30 of his 40 hives were empty and that other hives around London had lost up to 75 per cent of their bees.

This could have far-reaching implications for farming, as bees pollinate millions of hectares of fruit trees and crops.

Chew for Health آدامس در کلاس:آری یا خیر؟؟ آدامس جویدن و مزایا و معایب آن

Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help boost your test scores.

Just what can gum do for your health? Many studies show that chewing gum after meals fights cavities by stimulating the production of saliva. Saliva helps wash away bacteria that damage our teeth.
Gum made with sugar can promote cavities. But some gums contain an ingredient that fights tooth decay. Chewing also stimulates production of saliva, which washes away cavity-causing bacteria.
Chewing gum might also be good for your brain. One Japanese study of nine participants found that chewing gum boosted the flow of blood to participants' brains by up to 40 percent. Blood carries oxygen, which fuels brain cells.
Chewing a gumball or stick of gum that contains a medicine might help a person more than taking a tablet or a pill that contains the same medicine.These discoveries can help other researchers develop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, relieve headaches, battle nervousness, and more. Scientists might even create antimicrobial gums that cure bad breath.

Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success: They've created a gum that could help us stay awake.

Most schools ban chewing gum, but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why?
Did you allow your students to chew gums in class if you were a teacher?Why?

US school drops paper for laptops استفاده از کامپیوتر به جای کتاب و دفتر.... موافقید؟؟

Kids at an Arizona high school are going all high tech, as their teachers have decided to replace their paper books with state-of-the-art laptops.
Empire High School in the US has given all its pupils Apple iBooks to use in lessons and for their homework.
The new technology means teachers don't have to stick to the textbooks in lessons, but can pick material from all over the internet.

Instead of spending cash on new textbooks, the school simply used it for the laptops.

Book lovers are still catered for though, as the school still has a traditional paper library.

Do you think pen and paper will die out?Which one do you prefer? A laptop or a book?

Lack of sleep 'makes you fatter' بی خوابی باعث چاقی می شود

Not getting enough sleep could be one of the main reasons more and more kids are becoming overweight.
An expert in obesity reckons kids are staying up later playing computer games and watching TV in their rooms.

But he says a lack of sleep makes you want to eat sugary food to give you energy - and that piles on the weight.

Not getting enough kip also makes you tired, meaning you're less likely to want to do the exercise which would keep your weight down.

Dr Shahrad Taheri said the chemicals our bodies make to control things like how hungry we feel are affected by how much we sleep.

He reckons one of the first steps towards fighting the problem is taking gadgets, TVs, computers and consoles, out of your bedroom to encourage you to get your head down.

Three nice jokes

The Last Ticket
During a busy holiday weekend, a woman who was eight months pregnant went to the railway station to return home to her husband. At the reservation counter, when her turn came, there was only one ticket left. Taking pity on a very old lady behind her in line, she offered her berth to the old lady and sent a telegram to her husband which arrived with a small error: "Shall be coming tomorrow, heavy rush in the train, gave birth to an old lady."

Chemistry Class
One day, the chemistry teacher asked his students, "What is the chemical formula for water?" Silly Suzie immediately raised her hand. "Yes, Suzie, what's the answer?", the teacher asked. Suzie answered proudly, "The chemical formula for water is 'HIJKLMNO'!" Her teacher looked perplexed. He asked, "What are you talking about?" Suzie replied, "Yesterday you said the formula for water is H to O!"

A Big Decision
A six-year-old boy walked up to his father one day and announced, 'Daddy, I'd like to get married.'
His father replied hesitantly, 'Sure, son, do you have anyone special in mind?'
'Yes,' answered the boy. 'I want to marry Grandma.'
'Now, wait a minute,' said his father. 'You don't think I'd let you get married with my mother, do you?'
'Why not?' the boy asked. 'You married mine.'

Chicken Talk مرغها هم صحبت می کنند

According to new research, chickens make meaningful sounds that refer to objects around them. A pecking chicken that goes "tck, tck, tck," for example, is saying, "Hey look, there's food!"
The discovery marks the first time that an animal other than people, monkeys, and other primates has been found to make sounds that, like words, represent something in the world around them.
Previous studies had shown that male chickens make certain clucking noises when they find food. Other studies had also shown, for example, that chickens make alarm calls when scared by an intruder.The calls differ depending on whether the intruder walks or flies toward them. And other chickens react by looking either up in the air or around on the ground.

So wonderful, isn't it?

Bees inspire aircraft scientists هواپیماهایی به اندازه یک زنبور عسل :درسهای پرواز از حشرات

Scientists have been busy getting some flying lessons - from bees.
They're looking at what makes the tiny creatures - and other insects - fly so well as part of a plan to build a very small aircraft.
They've found that the wings of small insects are very flexible, which allows them to lift off the ground and move forward quickly.
The aircraft could be used to get things into dangerous places, as well as secret stuff like spying missions.
One of the scientists said: "This is a very important step forward in understanding how we can create tiny aircraft that could be so useful for us.
"Our work will make the goal of tiny aircraft, perhaps eventually only the size of bees, a step closer."
Some small aircraft measuring only a few centimetres in size have already been built in America, but so far they've only be able to stay up for a few minutes.

The Girl Who loved to Draw دختری که نقاشی کشیدن را خیلی دوست داشت

Sophie was ten year old and loved to draw. She drew before breakfast. She drew after breakfast. Sometimes she even drew on her way to school.
Sophie liked to draw strange things. She drew pictures of wild green dragons and castles and monsters! She also drew normal things: her house, her dog called Stomper, her school. She even drew her teachers.
One day Sophie arrived late at school.
“Why are you late, Sophie?” asked her teacher.
'I'm sorry, Miss, I was drawing the big house on the way to school. I forgot about the time.”
'Oh Sophie,' said her teacher. 'You must think less about your drawing and more about school. Can you give me your homework now please?'
'I’m sorry, Miss, I don’t have it.'
'Why not, Sophie?'
'Yesterday I was in town. I saw a man running down the road. He had an interesting face so I drew him.'
The teacher gave Sophie a strange look. 'But Sophie, there was a bank robbery in town yesterday...'
'Perhaps that was the man I saw,' said Sophie. 'Perhaps I have drawn a picture of the robber!'
After school, Sophie went to the police station. She showed her picture to a policeman.
'Where did you get this picture?' asked the policeman.
'I drew it,' said Sophie. 'I drew it yesterday in town.'
'This is a picture of Ronnie the Robber,' cried the policeman. 'So Ronnie robbed the bank! Thank you Sophie. Now we can arrest him.'
Now her teachers were very proud of Sophie, the girl who loves to draw.

Unconditional Love عشق بدون قید و شرط

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

Return my horse! اسب مرا برگردانید وگرنه؟

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling. "Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!?!?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. "Alright, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!" Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse had been returned to the post. He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?" The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."

Three Rooms in Hell انتخاب اتاق های جهنم

A man dies and goes to Hell. The Devil meets him at the gates and says "There are three rooms here. You can choose which one you want to spend eternity in". The Devil takes him to the first room where there are people hanging from the walls by their wrists and obviously in agony. The Devil takes him to the second room where the people are being whipped with metal chains. The Devil then opens the third door, and the man looks inside and sees many people sitting around, up to their waists in garbage, drinking cups of tea. The man decides instantly which room he is going to spend eternity in and chooses the last room. He goes into the third room, picks up his cup of tea and the Devil walks back in saying "Ok, guys, tea break's over, back on your heads!"

A Good Teacher

One day, a teacher was trying to teach the names of animals to a class of 5-year-olds. She held up a picture of a deer, and asked one boy, "Billy, what is this animal?". Little Billy looked at the picture with a disheartened look on his face and responded, "I'm sorry Mrs. Smith, I don't know.". The teacher was not one to give up easily, so she then asked Billy, "Well, Billy, what does your Mommy call your Daddy?" Little Billy's face suddenly brightened up, but then a confused look came over his face, as he asked, "Mrs. Smith, is that really a pig?"!

Trees That Wood آرزوهای سه درخت

Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter" ... and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree so I'll take this one", and he cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for. The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end. The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.


Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time. Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it

A BEAUTIFUL PRAYERگپی دوستانه با خدا

I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned. I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own! , but I will prune you to make you fruitful. I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
"Even the word 'IMPOSSIBLE' says 'I M POSSIBLE' "
