Female habits that drive men crazy
Female habits that drive men crazy
Being comfortable with your other half is wonderful, however, you might have unconsciously picked up some habits along the way that turn him off. Here are the top 10 traits we think you should steer clear of.
10: Over-analysing everything
Let’s face it, men really aren’t that complicated. So if a guy says, ‘I’m a bit busy right now. Can I ring you later?’ chances are, work’s really quite hectic. One kiss in his texts instead of the usual two doesn’t mean he’s gone off you, and a surprise cup of tea doesn’t mean he’s feeling guilty. So give men the benefit of the doubt, take things at face value and you’ll save yourself a heap of stress.

Good Morning..Have a Nice Day, Full of Joy, Love and Peace
People are bereft of gratitude, which is not right. One should be grateful for the help they have received from others as long as one is alive. There are two things you must forget: the help you have rendered to others and the harm others have done to you. If you remember the help you have rendered, you will always expect something in return. Remembrance of the harm done to you by others generates in you a sense of revenge. You should remember only the help you received from others. The one with these sacred qualities is an ideal human being. Love is God, love is Nature, love is life and love is the true human value. Bereft of love, one is equivalent to a corpse. Love even the worst of your enemies. Lead a life filled with love. Then you will experience joy, peace and security in your heart.

Table lamp..
If
you�re looking for an original table lamp, look no further! Polish
artist Przemek, also known as Calabarte, sculpts beautiful patterns on
African gourds which later become heads of his exceptional lamps. When
you switch on one of his lamps, the
light coming trough the cracks of the gourd turns a room into a
dreamlike space.
Przemek
studied building engineering at a technical university and even worked
in an architectural studio for 3 years. However, after 7 years of
studies he decided that making lamps was his real passion, so he quit
both his job and his studies. He traveled far away to Senegal and
brought back some of the African gourds which he used as his main
material to create his fascinating lamps.

What gives a man or woman the right to lead?
What gives a man or woman the right to lead?
It certainly isn’t gained by election or appointment. Having position, title, rank, or degrees doesn’t qualify anyone to lead other people. And the ability doesn’t come automatically from age or experience, either.
No, it would be accurate to say that no one can be given the right to lead. The right to lead can only be earned. And that takes time.
The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. You must become someone others can trust to take them where they want to go.

Difference Between Single Malt and Blended Scotch Whisky
What Differentiates Single Malt from Blended Scotch
Not every whiskey is called Scotch; the name itself suggests that it is region-specific. You can make whiskey the world over, but you can never call it Scotch, unless it is made in Scotland. The basic difference between a single malt and blended Scotch is the distillation process. Single malt whisky is produced and bottled in a single distillery, whereas blended, as the name suggests, is a blend of two or more malt and grain whiskies. Let's dig into the details that follow.
The Making of Scotch: The basic ingredient of Scotch whisky happens to be malted barley. Though at times it can be prepared using rye or wheat, barley is the most preferred grain for producing Scotch. Other than barley, the other ingredients include water, yeast and an additive for coloring.
Before we get to the differences, a little insight into the actual process of producing Scotch would be helpful. So here goes ...
Parameters | Single Malt | Blended Scotch |
Defining Factors | A single malt whisky is that which is made from water and malted barley, and is distilled at a single distillery. | A blended Scotch whisky is called so when a malt whisky is mixed with grain whisky. |
What it Actually Means | Confusion rules when we say single malt; what it actually refers to is a single producer or distillery. However, the end product need not necessarily be a single malt but is a perfect blend of malts of varying ages, such that the consistency of the product is maintained. | A blended Scotch can also imply a blend or mixture of 2/3 parts of grain whisky and 1/3 part of malt whisky, not necessarily from the same distillery. A blended Scotch whisky may contain a combination of whiskies from more than 40 to 50 different malt and grain distilleries. |
Differentiating Factor | Single malt whisky goes through a single batch production; however, the product is a result of a blend of different aged whisky. The taste differs according to the region and distillery whence the final product comes, and the best part is that no two whiskies will ever taste the same. The minimum period for maturation is three years, and the longer the malt is allowed to mature in its wooden abode, the better the final outcome will be. It is not difficult to find a Scotch which has undergone maturation for 15 or more years. | The blending takes place in the presence of a master blender, who ensures the taste of the blend remains consistent throughout. What actually happens in a blended Scotch is that the master blender, samples various malts and grain whiskies and combines them together in a cask and leaves it to mature. The differentiating factor comes in only at the stage of casking, the resultant blend is then left to mature for a minimum period of five years. Apparently, blended Scotch consists of over 90% of the total whisky production in Scotland. |
Test the Taste Buds | Known for its character and distinct flavor, the single malt Scotch offers an absolute treat to the senses, while keeping you as close to earthiness as possible. | Compared to single malt, it is less stronger and has a more pleasing flavor than the two. However, they lack the flavor and character as the single malt. |
Cost | Highly priced and a connoisseur's pride, the price of single malt ranges as per the maturation period of the malt. | As its major ingredient is grain whisky, it makes this variety less pricey and affordable for the general crowd. |
What Causes Brain Freeze?
You guessed it right; I'm referring to the brain freeze or an ice cream headache; a sensation that's as fresh in our mind as the taste of the fruit pop that caused it. What is this weird phenomenon that almost everyone experiences, but it doesn't stay on long enough for us to investigate its causes?
Causes of Brain Freeze Headaches |
We get a brain freeze when we gulp down chilled food or drinks, is something we already know. But what really triggers it, and why don't we get it every time we consume something cold? Here are the answers.
⇨A brain freeze happens when the chilled substance touches the roof of our mouth, also called the palate. This occurs when we swallow the portions rapidly, or deliberately hold it, touching the palate.
⇨The cold substance freezes the capillaries and causes the blood vessels in that area to suddenly constrict to maintain body heat.
⇨As the portion is swallowed, the palate begins to warm up, leading the blood vessels to dilate.
⇨When such contrasting responses occur in quick succession, they activate the pain receptors, which release prostaglandins. This causes us to feel the pain.
⇨The nerve that carries these pain receptors to the brain is the trigeminal nerve.
⇨This is how the brain gets tricked into believing that the pain is coming from the forehead instead of the mouth.
⇨So, the location of the actual pain is different from where the brain figures it's coming from, and this is termed as referred pain.
Avoiding Brain Freeze Headaches |
It is necessary to learn how to stop brain freeze from occurring, as giving up on chilled foods and beverages is obviously out of question. Just read through and you'll know.
⇨It is the cold-hot variation on the palate that causes brain freeze. Just avoid gulping down cold things.
⇨While eating or drinking, place the portion on the tongue for a while, as it heats up a bit. This will not send shock waves through your palate.
⇨Just in case you feel an attack coming on, roll your tongue, so that the underside touches the roof of your mouth. Press your tongue to the palate, and hold it for a few moments till the palate warms.
