Why Nexus?

I don't know why but I kept wondering all day about the "Google's Nexus" name. From the articles I've read, it turns out that the name "may" have came from a 1968 novel called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The author's daughter is actually thinking of suing Google for the name!! (mako sh'3l :p)

Fun: Colors Exercise

 Every night, before going to bed, think about your day and give it a color. Don't give it too much thought, just choose a color. As time goes (1-2 Months), you may find that you've used all the colors or some of the colors. you need to check if any colors are missing or not used enough, because every color of the rainbow has a certain effect on you. Missing colors:

Red:

If red is missing, you are exhausted or overtired, get some sleep or have some exercise to raise your energy level.

Orange:

if orange is missing, your confidence and self-esteem are likely to be low or missing. dancing is a good exercise here.

Yellow:

If yellow is missing, you are likely to be nervous or suffering from stress. massage the area just above your navel.

Green:

If green is missing, you may have relationship problems. Have a walk in the park, walk barefoot on the grass and enjoy the healing that comes from the greens you see.

Blue:

If blue is missing, you are likely to feel unsupported or let down by someone close to you. walk near the water, sit beside a fountain or take a walk along the beach.

Indigo:

If indigo is missing, you are being taken advantage of or not fully appreciated by people close to you. take some time out by yourself.

Purple:

if purple is missing, you have temporarily lost contact with your spiritual self. spend sometime alone in a place that is spiritual to you.

Who invented the seven-day week?

Who: The Babylonians who lived in Mesopotamia.

How: The Babylonians worshiped the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. They believed that those stars were so special and magical that they affected destinies of men and they also believed that they can predict the future by studying those stars. To them, Mars meant war and Venus meant love.

Five planets were known to them at that time and for each of the planets they dedicated a day, with the Sun and the Moon that made 7 days. Note that Sun-day refers to the Sun, Mon-day refers to the Moon and Satur-day refers to Saturn. In French and Italian, the rest of the days still refer to the other planets.

So if the all of the planets were known to them, we could have ended up with an 11-day week and probably with a 3-day weekend :p

Right Brain vs Left Brain

I'm reading a book called "My Stroke of Insight" and while reading chapter 3 (Hemispheric Asymmetries) I remembered taking this test to know which hemisphere do I use more. It's interesting :)

Some Facts from the book (chapter 3):

* Over 85% of the right handed people in the U.S. are left hemisphere dominant and over 60% of left handed people are also left hemisphere. (I'm a left handed person with a right hemisphere dominance) .

* The right hemisphere is all about capturing the moment (feel, smell, taste ... ) while the left hemisphere is all about capturing the details (time, order, reason, dimension, patterns ... ).

* The right hemishphere is concerned about the big picture while the left hemisphere is concerned about the details and more details about the details.

* Your left hemisphere is the center of your ego. It provides you with an internal awareness of who you are.

* The right hemisphere complements the left hemisphere language center by interpreting the non-verbal communication. the right hemisphere evaluates the tone, facial expression and body language.

* People can live normally with with one cerebral hemisphere only.

If you see the lady spinning clockwise know that you have used your right hemisphere otherwise (anti-clockwise) it's your left hemisphere. (Source)

tell me which hemisphere do you use more

Greeks and Math

In one of the ancient Greek civilizations,they believed that the gods demanded precise solutions of mathematical problems in return for granting relief from catastrophes!

so Imagine at that time, if you were in trouble, you would need to pray to God thru solving a math problem!

Another Advice ...

Drink as much water as you can. I usually don't, I got two small stones in my left kidney and its painful.

update: Thank you for all you comments :)) I'm much better now.

I asked the doctor how many glasses of water we should have during the day and his answer was that "the only way to check if you're having enough amount of water is from checking the color of your urine. it should be light".

Plan all the things I want to do and have the plan/vision board in front of my eyes all the time (as a background maybe), so that I still remember the things I want to do.

"I've got no time" is a myth invented by "Laziness"

I don't want to use the "I've got no time" phrase when I want to:

• Start a new project.
• Read a new book.
• Travel.
• Help --when needed.
• Visit family relatives.
• Pray more.
• Go out.
• Watch a movie.
• Go to SPA.
• ...

*Wishing you a happy new year full of joy and happiness*

Anees Mansour - The Kuwaiti Millionaire!

I scanned this story for you, I read it in a book for Anees Mansour and since the time I read it I'm became really curious about knowing the Kuwaiti Millionaire mentioned in the story!!

Your Sleep-Wake Cycle

Have you ever asked yourself "Is the '24-hour cycle' enough for me to sleep and wake up without feeling tired?" or "Can you sleep at a specific hour and wake up at a specific hour everyday without feeling tired?"

It turns out that most people have a regular "24.9-hour" cycle and not 24!

Scientists have done several experiments, in one of them they kept a man in cave without sun light for months. His sleep-wake cycle was a very regular 24.9-hour. he was waking up everyday nearly an hour later.

Another interesting case was a young woman who was kept for 25 days. She shifted to a 30-hour cycle and felt well and relaxed!

At first scientists thought that it's because in the past the earth used to spin slower but it turned out that the earth used to spin even faster!

Something to note here is that the sleep-wake cycle is something that we are born with and which is biologically determined.
