A little mouse داستان موش کوچک

A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. He discovered that it was a mouse trap.
He returned to the farmyard and proclaimed the warning: "There is a mouse trap in the house, a mouse trap in the house!"

The chicken said, "Excuse me, Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you,but I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mouse trap in the house, a mouse trap in the house!" "I am so sorry Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray for you."
The mouse turned to the cow. She said, "You say, Mr. Mouse. A mouse trap? Like I am in grave danger....NOT!"

So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected.
That very night a sound was heard . The farmer's wife rushed to find the sound. In the darkness, she did not see that it was a snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife.

The farmer took her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his chicken to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

His wife's sickness continued so that all friends and neighbors came to sit with her. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well and a few days later she died. So many people came for her funeral and the farmer killed the cow to provide meat for all of them to eat.

Two frogs داستان دو قورباغه

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
This story teaches two lessons:1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.

God's Boxes جعبه های خدا

I have in my hands two boxes which God gave me to hold
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black, And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes Both my joys and sorrows I stored
But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as before
With curiosity, I opened the black I wanted to find out why
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could be."
He smiled a gentle smile at me. "My child, they're all here with me."
I asked, "God, why give me the boxes, Why the gold, and the black with the hole?"
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go."

A Child's Angel فرشته ی کودک

Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born.
He asked God:
"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I goingto live there being so small and helpless?"
God: "Among the many angels, I chose one especially for you. She willbe waiting for you and will take care of you."
Child: "But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but singand smile, and that's enough for me to be happy. Will I be happythere?"
God: "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you everyday.You will feel your angel's love and be happy."
Child: "How am I going to be able to understand when people talk tome if I don't know the language that men talk?"
God: "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words youwill ever hear. With much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
Child: "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God: "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
Child: "I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"
God: "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her own life."
Child: "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God: "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earthcould already be heard. The child, in a hurry, asked softly:
"Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God: "Your angel's name is of no importance. You will call your angel ... Mommy."

يك محقق ژاپني با انتشار يافته‌هاي تحقيقات خود مدعي شد كه مولكول‌هاي آب نسبت به مفاهيم انساني تأثيرپذيرند

Water reacts to different environmental conditions, pollution and music. Mr. Emoto and colleagues decided to see how thoughts and words affected the formation of untreated, distilled, water crystals, using words typed onto paper by a word processor and taped on glass bottles overnight. The same procedure was performed using the names of deceased persons. The waters were then frozen and photographed.
These photographs show the incredible reflections of water, as alive and highly responsive to every one of our thoughts and emotions. It is quite clear that water easily takes on the vibrations and energy of its environment, whether toxic and polluted or naturally pristine, either within our selves or surrounding us in others and the environment.
Masaru Emoto's extraordinary work is an awesome display, and powerful tool, that can change our perceptions of ourselves and the world we live in, forever. We now have profound evidence that we can positively heal and transform ourselves and our planet by the thoughts we choose to think and the ways in which we put those thoughts into action.

Hijab in England School (15 October 2006)سرنوشت معلمی با حجاب و نقاب در یک مدرسه در انگلیس

The 23-year-old insists the veil is not a communication barrier

Should teachers be allowed to wear a veil?

An argument has broken out after a Muslim teaching assistant was suspended because she wouldn't remove her veil in some lessons.
Aishah Azmi, 24, works at a junior school in Dewsbury and said she was happy to take off her veil in front of children, but not other men working at the school.
Some people think she should be made to remove her veil in school at all times, but others think it should be her choice. Two important members of the government said on Sunday that she shouldn't wear a veil in lessons.
Ms Azmi said she had never received complaints from pupils, but was told her veil could not be worn in class.
She said she would remove the garment, but not in front of male colleagues.
Ms Azmi told the BBC her veil had not caused problems with the children, with whom she had a "brilliant relationship".
"The children are aware of my body language, my eye expressions, the way I'm saying things."

What do you think? Should she remove her veil???

Suicide among American teens!!?????خودکشی در میان نوجوانان آمریکایی؟؟؟افزایش یا کاهش

Suicide Rates Decline Among Adolescents and Oldest Americans

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Now a study shows those declines coincide with the use of a new generation of antidepressants.
McKeown notes that other recent research has suggested that these same drugs can put adolescents and young adults at greater risk for suicidal behavior.
While rates are declining among the young and the old, rates of the middle age group, those between 25 and 64, have remained relatively unchanged over 20 years.
McKeown believes a variety of factors, not simply better antidepressants, is helping to lower suicide rates. "Maybe it has something to do with the new treatments. Maybe it has something to do with the economy. Another possibility is the increase of healthy life expectancy. Could it be that the things we have learned about trauma care enable us to help people who have attempted suicide who in earlier years might have died?" he asks.
McKeown calls for more research to evaluate more precisely the role of drugs and therapy, and why suicide rates are declining for one group but not for another.

Suicide among teens!!!! What's the reason? And the solution?

A Pregnant Man? مرد باردار

Another Person Lived Inside a Man for Nearly Four Decades
مردی که مدت چهل سال در شکم فرد دیگری زندگی می کرد

Living in the city of Nagpur, India, Bhagat said he'd felt self-conscious his whole life about his big belly. But one night in June 1999, an ambulance rushed the 36-year-old farmer to the hospital. Doctors thought he might have a giant tumor, but while operating on Bhagat, Mehta saw something he had never encountered.
"To my surprise and horror, I could shake hands with somebody inside," he said. "It was a bit shocking for me." "He just put his hand inside and he said there are a lot of bones inside," she said. "First, one limb came out, then another limb came out, then some part of hair, some limbs, jaws, limbs, hair."
Inside Bhagat's stomach was a strange, half-formed creature that had feet and hands that were very developed. Its fingernails were quite long.
"We were horrified. We were confused and amazed," Mehta said.
At first glance, it may look as if Bhagat had given birth. Actually, Mehta had removed the mutated body of Bhagat's twin brother from his stomach. Bhagat, doctors discovered, had one of the world's most bizarre medical conditions — fetus in fetu. It is an extremely rare abnormality that occurs when a fetus gets trapped inside its twin. What makes his case so unusual is that no one suspected Bhagat had a twin inside him for 36 years. To Bhagat his condition had been a source of shame and misery. All his life, people in the village where he lived had mercilessly teased him and told him he looked pregnant. Ironically, they were right in a way.
Today Bhagat is in good health and leads a normal life, but he still gets teased occasionally by his friends.

Electronic noses بینی الکترونیکی

Compared with dogs, people aren't very good at identifying smells. So, chemists are designing sensors—electronic noses—that help people do this job better.
Electronic noses can go where human noses shouldn't. For example, some electronic noses can sense substances that would be harmful to humans. Other electronic noses can sense chemicals that people can't detect at all. One such device looks a bit like a computer chip covered with neat rows of dots. Each dot contains a chemical dye. "We use anywhere from 20 to 36 different dyes that change color depending on what chemical they're exposed to," says Ken Suslick. He's a chemist at the University of Illinois.
Electronic noses can also alert people to hazards. On the space shuttle or in the International Space Station, for example, a chemical leak could mean a problem with the spacecraft or danger for the crew. Detecting such leaks promptly is essential.
But even this sensitive space sensor can't compete with a dog's amazing ability to detect and identify smells. Electronic noses still have a long way to go to top a dog's sniffer.

Fatal shootings in US schools???!!!!کشتاری فجیع در یکی از مدارس آمریکا؟

Gunman claims four lives in US Amish siege مرد مسلحی که با حمله به یک مدرسه چهار دختر را می کشد

At least four little girls have been killed and seven others injured in a shooting at an Amish school in the United States. The gunman, a 32 year old father of three, entered the one-room school in the village of Paradise in Pennsylvania. He ordered the boys to leave before tying up the girls and shooting them in the head. The man, identified as milk delivery driver Charles Carl Roberts, shot himself before police could enter the building. The Amish are the Anabaptist Christian descendants of German settlers who reject many types of modern technology. Their aim is to lead lives true to scripture. They restrict the use of cars, telephones and television to varying degrees. The latest incident comes at the end of a week of gun-related violence in US schools.
The police said there were indications that he was motivated by an incident that happened some 20 years ago.
A 16 year old girl died during a siege in a school in Colorado, while a head teacher died in Wisconsin after confronting a student armed with a gun.

Why do we have such horrible incidents in US Schools????!!!!!!!!

Ready to travel to space??? آماده باش برای سفر به فضا

New spaceship for ordinary people امکان سفر به فضا برای افراد عادی

A hi-tech model of a spaceship which will let ordinary people go on out-of-this-world trips has been put on show for the first time.
British billionaire Sir Richard Branson wants to make the dream of space travel come true for millions of people.
The tiny spacecraft is designed to carry six passengers and two pilots some 120kms (75 miles) above the Earth.
The first flight is set to blast off in 2009 and tickets for SpaceShipTwo will cost about £100,000 - so start saving!

The spaceship's technology could also be used in airplanes and could eventually allow people to travel between London and Sydney in half an hour, said Sir Richard.
Would-be passengers will undergo three days of training before putting on spacesuits for the zero-gravity voyage.
The craft's white trendy clutter-free inside has seats that tip back to allow for a less jolting return into Earth's atmosphere and several round windows positioned from floor to ceiling.

Tens of thousands of people have already said they want to go on the trip - and 200 people have put down a deposit on tickets.
There are also plans for a TV reality show based in space and a lottery with winners getting flights.
Sir Richard said: "We hope millions of people will travel into space."

Pleasant moments in space: Anousheh's diary خاطرات انوشه از فضا و چگونگی زندگی در بی وزنی

Space Travel Details Space Explorer — Anousheh @ 2:13 am
…that everyone wants to know: How do you take a shower in space? How do you brush your teeth? How do you wash your hair?Well my friends, I must admit keeping good hygiene in space is not easy! There is no shower or faucet with running water. Water does not “flow” here, it “floats” — which makes it a challenging act to clean yourself. So what do people do up here, specially the ones staying for six months at a time…? They improvise!There are wet towels, wet wipes and dry towels that are used for cleaning yourself. Usually each person gets a wet towel a day and couple of dry ones. Each person has a personal hygiene kit where they keep their stuff like toothbrush, shaving kit, creams , etc. I got Dice-K’s kit so it had a razor and lots of shaving cream, but no makeup Now brushing your teeth in space is another joy. You cannot rinse your mouth and spit after brushing, so you end up rinsing and swallowing. Astronauts call it the fresh mint effect The most interesting experience — or I should call it experiment — is washing your hair. Now I know why people keep their hair short in space. You basically take a water bag and slowly make a huge water bubble over your head and then Very Very Gently, using a dry shampoo, you wash your hair. At the slightest sudden movement, little water bubbles start floating everywhere. I’ve made some video of my hair-washing experience that I will share when I return Of course water here is a valuable resource, and is recycled so anything wet is not thrown out, instead it is left out to air dry. There is a water conduction collection unit that takes the moisture out of the air and recycles and purifies it. This includes your sweaty clothes after exercising. One of the cosmonauts once told me, “We are all very close to each other, we are like brothers and sisters, it is very unique because we drink each others’ sweat.” Now I know well what he means…There is exercise equipment here, a treadmill and a bike with the best view of the world in the Russian segment, and some resistance training equipment and another bike in the American segment. Astronauts and cosmonauts train every day, sometimes twice a day, to make sure they reduce the effects of weightlessness on their muscles and bones. Just in case you didn’t know, when people are in weightlessness for an extended period of time, their muscles start weakening and shrinking because they are not used as much. There is no gravity to work against, so everything is effortless. You also start losing calcium in your bones so you have a bone density loss. They always say you cannot have your cake and eat it too… So I guess all the beauty and excitement of space comes with a price. Of course I’m sure one of you guys out there will become a biologist or a doctor who will figure out how to counteract all these effects so we can travel long distances to Mars and other solar system planets and moons and continue our quest beyond our solar system…

Spinach is highly nutritious اسفناج بسیار مقوی است

Spinach, noted for making cartoon sailor Popeye strong, may also help to ward off a common cause of blindness.
A team at the University of Manchester believe eating the vegetable protect the eyes.
Their theory is based on the fact that spinach, and several other vegetables, contain lutein, a chemical which helps form a key protective eye pigment. Lutein is found in sweetcorn, kale and broccoli, as well as spinach.
The Manchester team plan a study to test their theory.
Scientists do not yet understand why some people are susceptible, but do know that the disease is linked to smoking, obesity and poor diet.

What are the effect of veggies on your health?

Mission to uncover secrets of Sun

A space mission is blasting off to find out the secrets of the Sun.
The Solar-B satellite will take off from a space centre in Japan on a three-year mission on Friday. There won't be any people on board.
It will spend nine months of each of these years in sunlight. It has three powerful telescopes on it and aims to solve some of the Sun's mysteries.
These include finding out more about huge eruptions - called solar flares - that take place on the Sun's surface.
These can interfere with man-made satellites and threaten the safety of astronauts.
It's hoped the mission's findings could help space exploration in the future.
Space agencies from Japan, America and Europe are involved with the project, which has cost many millions of pounds.

Interview with God مصاحبه با خدا

THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled. “My time is eternity." “What questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?”
God answered...

“That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.”
“That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health.”
“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...

“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn

“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said, “Just know that I am here... always.”

An email from God !ایمیل از طرف خدا

One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the evil that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out.
So he called on a female angel and sent her to Earth for a time. When she returned she told God, yes it is bad on Earth, 95% is bad and 5% is good.
Well, he thought for a moment and said maybe I had better send down a male angel; to get both points of view. So God called a male angel and sent him to Earth for a time. When the male angel returned he went to God and told him yes, the Earth was in decline, 95% was bad and 5% was good.
God said this was not good. He decided to E-Mail the 5% that were good and encourage them, a little something to help them keep going.

Do you know what that E-Mail said?

Reply God's email.

Is mobile a queer tool?آیا موبایل وسیله عجیبی است؟

Half of 10-year-olds own a mobile
مزایا و معایب موبایل
It looks like you're a chatty bunch, as more than half of all 10-year-olds own their own mobile phone.
And by the time you get to 12, about nine out of 10 kids have their hands on a high-tech handset.
A study of more than 1,250 kids found most use their moby for texting more than talking, with most of you sending nearly 10 texts every day.
And they're more than just a gadget for talking to your mates, as 80% of kids said a mobile made them feel safer.
But a mobile doesn't just offer you freedom - 71% of parents seem happy to use them to keep an eye on you.

Mobile worries

And mobile phones also cause worries - some health experts reckon they might make you ill. That's because they send out waves of something called radiation.
Although there's no definite proof mobiles are dangerous, kids would be most at risk, because their skulls aren't fully grown yet.
The official advice is, that they should really only be using their phones to call people in an emergency.
