Stress Management.

water_glass_
A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half… empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

Nutritional (kungu) evaluation of outer fleshy coat of Terminalia catappa fruit in two varieties.

Department of Chemistry, Ganeshkhind, University of Pune, Pune, India.


Abstract


The nutritional potential of outer (50-55%) fleshy edible cover of Terminalia catappa fruit was selected for investigation in search of a new source of nutrients. Two different varieties, red and yellow in their ripe and unripe stages, were analyzed for proximate and mineral composition along with phytochemicals. In the results (per 100 g sample), the red variety has shown to be a rich source of protein (1.95 g vs. 1.65 g) while the yellow variety has shown a high content of carbohydrate and ash (12.03 g vs. 6.14 g and 1.21 g vs. 0.70 g). Of the phytochemicals, β-carotene and vitamin C were found to be present in high amount in the red variety (2,090 μg vs. 754 μg and 138.6 mg vs. 105.4 mg), wherein the former increased while the latter decreased with ripening of the fruit. The results of the study show that the edible outer cover of tropical almond can contribute significantly to the nutrient intake.

Tamthilia ya Mara Clara episode ya 58, Gary atoka jela na kumtekeka Alvira, Amante nae anunua bastola

Mara Clara
Mchongo wa Familia ya Amante kutaka kuhamia Dubai, ambako ndiko Amante alikuwa amepata kazi baada ya misuko suko mingi iliyoikumba familia yake na kujikuta akifilisika, ulipelekwa jela na Clara ambae alimwambia baba yake Gary aliyekuwa jela kuwa Alvira na familia yake wanataka kuhamia Dubai. 

Gary kusikia hivyo kwakuwa anampenda Alvira, aliamua kupanga mbinu za kutoroka jela na kuibuka fasta uraiani.

Baada ya Gary kufanikiwa kutoroka jela, anamteka Alvira na kumficha pasipo julikana, huku akimlazimisha akubali kuwa anampenda yeye na sio mumewe Amante.

Gary pia anapanga njama nyingine na kumlipa mtu akamuue MARA na Amante. 

MARA na Christian wakiwa njiani katika harakati za kumtafuta Alvira, jambazi anatokea na gari moja dogo jeusi na kumshuti MARA,lakini anamkosa. 

Kumbe Amante alikuwa mbele ya lile gari, naye alijibu mashambulizi ya risasi kwani naye amenunua bastola kutokana na maudhi ya Gary. Amante anafanikiwa kumteka jambazi na kumkabidhi kwa maaskari.

MARA anazidi kuwa na wasi wasi na Clara huenda akawa nahusika katika mkakati wa kumteka mama yake Alvira. 

Anaamua kwenda nyumbani kwa akina Clara na kumuuliza ni kwanini yeye hajishughurishi katika kumtafuta mama yao? Clara anashindwa kujibu na kuamua kuanza kupigana, wakiwa wanapigana mama yao Suzan anawaachanisha.

Clara anaamua kwenda alikotekwa Alvira, na kujionyesha kuwa anahusika pia katika utekaji huo.
Alvira analia kwa uchungu akimuuliza Clara, nikwanini nayeye ameamua kumfanyia hivyo. Lakini Clara kwa ujasiri alijibu “wewe si ulinisaliti na kumchagua MARA kuwa ndiye unayempenda?”

Siku iliyofuata baada ya Clara kukwaruzana tena, mama yake Clara “Suzan” alimuamru MARA aondoke, MARA aliamua kuingia mtaani, akiwa anashangaa shangaa, mara akamuona Clara anakatiza mtaani.
MARA anaamua kumfuata Clara kwa nyuma nyuma hadi anafanikiwa kuingia alikofungiwa mama yake “Alvira”.

MARA anamnyanyua mama yake ili watoroke, lakini kabla ya kutoroka , alimpigia simu baba yake na kumuambia maeneo waliko. 

Akiwa bado anaongea Gary na Clara waliingia na kuwanyang’anya simu na kuwafunga kamba. Kutokana na kila wakati Clara na MARA wanapokutana lazima wapigane, sasa Gary anaamua kumfungia MARA kabatini.

Muda mfupi polisi wanafika eneo hilo, Gary anajidai kumteka mwanae Clara kwa kumuwekea bastola kichwani, na endapo polisi wakijaribu kumsogelea, basi atamshoot. 

Akiwa bado amemshikilia Clara mara risasi inapigwa. Je, ninani kapigwa? Gary au Clara? Na kama sio hivyo, Gary atamshoot Clara?
Itaendelea..

Gazeti la chama tawala China latoa mjengo unaofanana na uume. Watu waliita “Giant Penis”

china-peoples-daily-giant-phallus-penis-like-building[1] 
Gazeti la chama tawala cha china, People’s Daily ambalo limezoea kuwa kitovu cha kusambasa habari, sasa limejikuta likiwa habari baada ya watu wenye fikra za kitukutu kuona jengo jipya la gazeti hilo limefanana na nyeti za kiume.

china-peoples-daily-giant-phallus-penis-like-building-1

Jengo hilo lenye urefu wa mita 150, hivi sasa bado linaendelea kujengwa jijini Beijing. Kutokana na muundo huo usiokua wa kawaida, picha za kibunifu zikaanza kuibuka katika website ambayo ni kama “Twitter ya China,” inayoitwa Sina Weibo.
 
Watu wengi wameeleza kuwa kwa kutumia ubunifu kidogo tu wa photoshopping, unaweza kuambatanisha picha ya jengo hilo, ambalo raia wamelipa nickname “Giant Penis” au “Uume mkubwa,” katikati ya “miguu” ya jengo lingine maarufu nchini humo ambalo ni makao makuu ya kituo cha TV cha China Central Television (CCTV,) linalojulikana kwa nickname ya “Big Underpants” building au Jengo la Chupi Kubwa.
 
Habari za utani huo zilifikia wakubwa nchini humo ambao walikerwa na kuamua kuwaharibia watu raha zao kwa kuamuru website ya Sino Weibo ku-block search zote zinazotafuta picha au habari za jengo hilo. Kwa sasa Wachina wakitafuta jengo hilo, wanakutana na ujumbe “kuendana na sheria, kanuni na sera husika, matokeo ya utafutaji wako (search results) hayawezi kuonyeshwa.
Mwandishi wa Reuters Anita Li amesema “hii inaonyesha frustrations miongoni mwa vijana watumiaji wa internet nchini China, na pia inaonyesha ni kiasi gani “wakubwa” wako sensitive kwa hata vitu vidogo vya kipuuzi online.”
