waiting to be unwrapped.

workplace. It is advised that you do not use her real
name on the banner, but use the endearment that you
generally use to call her. You can also make a flying
banner and can give surprise to your loved one by
flying it over her head and making it the most excited
and memorable moment of your life. Try this way only
when you are sure that she is not going to reject your

Life after death

This video shows: death is just a
beginning

Does soul exist? What happens after we die? These
questions get an answer in this video. What the
camera has recorded is really shocking!
The camera was installed in one of the hospitals in
China. The person in the hallway died, and no one
would have ever known when it happened, if not for
this video.
Some people refuse to believe in God or the spiritual
nature of humans. They live as if there was no soul,
but just the body. Once it gets used and worn out, it
dies, and that’s the end of life. However, this video
would offer a real shock for the materialists.

It has captured a unique experience we all are doomed
to undergo – the death. In the past scientists have
done a series of experiments. They even had weighted
the body before and right after the end and measured
how much the soul weighs.
What you see on this video makes you want to pray
for your own soul to have a beautiful future after the
death. Watch and see what we all have to come
through.
This soul has just started its journey to the valley of
death. Hopefully, it finds its path into the eternalhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vEfdWS_D20&feature=youtube_gdata_player

20 things you didn't know about sex

Since you are currently on Hexjam you are most
probably a horrible, lazy, burden to society whose only
interests are alcohol, sleeping and sex. We just
checked this guess against today's copy of the Daily
Mail. Yep, just as we thought.
So then we thought - if our users are interested in sex,
what about sex would interest them?
Interesting stuff about sex of course.
So here it is. Interesting stuff about sex. Oh, and we've
stuck some weird ones in there as well to spice things
up a bit. You'll never watch a pair of breeding black
widow spiders in the same light ever again...
1. You burn about 200 calories during 30 minutes of
active sex.
2. Sex makes women's hair shinier and their skin glow
because of all the extra oestrogen it causes them to
produce.
3. According to the Durex Global Sex Survey, people
normally lose their virginity at 17 years old. In the UK,
the average age is 16 1/2.
4. These days, the Greeks have more sex than any other
nationality. They're followed closely by the Croatians.
5. American Jonah Falcon has the world's largest penis
at 9.5 inches when flaccid and 13.5 inches when erect.
Image
6. The average penis size is 3.5 to 3.7 inches when
flaccid and between 5.0-5.7 inches when erect.
7. Whales are the owners of the world's largest
penises. The biggest recorded whale penis was the 8-
footer of a killer whale.
8. The world's oldest father (Nanu Ram Jogi) recently
fathered his 21st child, at the age of 90. He also admits
that he is not certain how many children his series of
four wives have borne him - but counts at least 12
sons, 9 daughters and 20 grandchildren.
9. Homosexuality is a common thing everywhere in
nature. A pair of male penguins, Roy and Silo from
Central Park Zoo, were a 'couple' for years, even
raising a baby penguin together in 2003.
10. Women are more likely to orgasm just before or
during their period.
Image
11. Experiencing 'butterflies of love' might sound
romantic, but in France the phrase 'papillon d'amour'
means having pubic lice.
12. In Britain we have on average, 10 sexual partners in
our lifetime. The Chinese have the most with 19 and the
Vietnamese only get round to having sex with 2 1/2
people.
13. There are roughly 100 million acts of sexual
intercourse each day.
14. Most turkeys and giraffes are bisexual.
15. The Ancient Egyptians used dried crocodile dung
as a contraceptive as it has spermicidal properties. How
did they discover this?
Image
16. Both men and women can have multiple orgasms.
But for men to achieve one, their first orgasm must
occur without ejaculation and without losing their
erection.
17. In 2005, a couple broke the world record for the
longest unbroken kiss. They did it for an exhausting 31
hours, 30 minutes and 30 seconds.
18. 25% of couples over 75 still sexually active.
19. Women who have been to university are more likely
to engage in anal sex.
20. The amount of wet dreams a man is likely to have
increases in line with the number of years spent in
formal education (which very much includes university
I'm sure you'll be glad to know).

video game is an electronic game that involves
human interaction with a user interface to generate
visual feedback on a video device such as a TV screen
or computer monitor. The word video in video game
traditionally referred to a raster display device, but in
the 2000s, it implies any type of display device that
can produce two- or three-dimensional images. Video
games are sometimes believed to be a form of art , but
this designation is controversial.
The electronic systems used to play video games are
known as platforms; examples of these are personal
computers and video game consoles . These platforms
range from large mainframe computers to small
handheld computing devices . Specialized video games
such as arcade games , in which the video game
components are housed in a large, coin-operated
chassis, while common in the 1980s, have gradually
declined in use due to the widespread availability of
affordable home video game devices (e.g., PlayStation
4 and Xbox One ) and video games on desktop and
laptop computers and smartphones.
The input device used for games, the game controller,
varies across platforms. Common controllers include
gamepads , mouses, keyboards, joysticks , the
touchscreens of mobile devices and buttons. Players
typically view the game on a video screen or
television and there are often game sounds from
loudspeakers . Some games in the 2000s include
haptic , vibration-creating effects or force feedback
peripherals . In the 2010s, the video game industry is
of increasing commercial importance, with growth
driven particularly by the emerging Asian markets and
mobile games . As of 2015, video games generated
sales of USD 74 billion annually worldwide, and were
the third-largest segment in the U.S. entertainment
market, behind broadcast and cable TV.

Tennis for Two, an early analog
computer game that used an
oscilloscope for a display
Early games used interactive electronic devices with
various display formats. The earliest example is from
1947—a " Cathode ray tube Amusement Device" was
filed for a patent on 25 January 1947, by Thomas T.
Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann, and issued on 14
December 1948, as U.S. Patent 2455992. [1] Inspired by
radar display tech, it consisted of an analog device
that allowed a user to control a vector-drawn dot on
the screen to simulate a missile being fired at targets,
which were drawings fixed to the screen.[2]
Other early examples include:
The Nimrod computer at the 1951 Festival of Britain
OXO a tic-tac-toe Computer game by Alexander S.
Douglas for the EDSAC in 1952
Tennis for Two , an electronic interactive game
engineered by William Higinbotham in 1958
Spacewar!, written by MIT students Martin Graetz,
Steve Russell, and Wayne Wiitanen's on a DEC PDP-1
computer in 1961.
Pong, a 1972 game by Atari .
Each game used different means of display: NIMROD
used a panel of lights to play the game of Nim, [3] OXO
used a graphical display to play tic-tac-toe [4] Tennis
for Two used an oscilloscope to display a side view of
a tennis court, [2] and Spacewar! used the DEC PDP-1's
vector display to have two spaceships battle each
other. [5]
Nolan Bushnell at the Game
Developers Conference in 2011
In 1971, Computer Space , created by Nolan Bushnell
and Ted Dabney, was the first commercially sold,
coin-operated video game. It used a black-and-white
television for its display, and the computer system
was made of 74 series TTL chips .[6] The game was
featured in the 1973 science fiction film Soylent Green .
Computer Space was followed in 1972 by the
Magnavox Odyssey, the first home console. Modeled
after a late 1960s prototype console developed by
Ralph H. Baer called the "Brown Box", it also used a
standard television. [2][7] These were followed by two
versions of Atari 's Pong ; an arcade version in 1972
and a home version in 1975 that dramatically increased
video game popularity. [8] The commercial success of
Pong led numerous other companies to develop Pong
clones and their own systems, spawning the video
game industry. [9]
A flood of Pong clones eventually led to the video
game crash of 1977, which came to an end with the
mainstream success of Taito's 1978 shooter game
Space Invaders, [10] marking the beginning of the
golden age of arcade video games and inspiring
dozens of manufacturers to enter the market.[10][11]
The game inspired arcade machines to become
prevalent in mainstream locations such as shopping
malls, traditional storefronts, restaurants, and
convenience stores.[12] The game also became the
subject of numerous articles and stories on television
and in newspapers and magazines, establishing video
gaming as a rapidly growing mainstream hobby. [13][14]
Space Invaders was soon licensed for the Atari VCS
(later known as Atari 2600), becoming the first "killer
app " and quadrupling the console's sales.[15] This
helped Atari recover from their earlier losses, [16] and
in turn the Atari VCS revived the home video game
market during the second generation of consoles , up
until the North American video game crash of 1983.[17]
The home video game industry was revitalized shortly
afterwards by the widespread success of the Nintendo
Entertainment System, [18] which marked a shift in the
dominance of the video game industry from the United
States to Japan during the third generation of
consoles .[19]

How to improve your thinking ability

The following guest post is by Amy Morin, a licensed
clinical social worker in Lincoln, Maine. In addition to
working as a psychotherapist, she is also an adjunct
college psychology instructor and she serves as
About.com’s Parenting Teens expert.
Amy Morin
Psychology often discusses mental health — but
what’s not often discussed is a clear definition of
mental strength. To me, mental strength means that
you regulate your emotions, manage your thoughts,
and behave in a positive manner, despite your
circumstances. Developing mental strength is about
finding the courage to live according to your values
and being bold enough to create your own definition
of success.
Mental strength involves more than just willpower; it
requires hard work and commitment. It’s about
establishing healthy habits and choosing to devote
your time and energy to self-improvement. (Check out
Cheryl Snapp Connor’s post, based on my list of the
13 things mentally strong people avoid .)
Although it’s easier to feel mentally strong when life
seems simple — often, true mental strength becomes
most apparent in the midst of tragedy. Choosing to
develop skills that increase your mental strength is
the best way to prepare for life’s inevitable obstacles.
Many exercises exist that can help you develop
mental strength. But here are five that can get you
started:
1. Evaluate Your Core Beliefs
We’ve all developed core beliefs about ourselves, our
lives and the world in general. Core beliefs develop
over time and largely depend upon our past
experiences. Whether you’re aware of your core
beliefs or not, they influence your thoughts, your
behavior and emotions.
Sometimes, core beliefs are inaccurate and
unproductive. For example, if you believe that you’ll
never succeed in life, you may be less apt to apply
for new jobs — and inadvertently, you may not
present yourself well on job interviews. Therefore,
your core beliefs may become a self-fulfilling
prophecy.
Identify and evaluate your core beliefs. Look for
beliefs that are black and white, and then find
exceptions to the rule. Very few things in life are
“always” or “never” true. Modifying core beliefs
requires purposeful intention and hard work, but it
can change the entire course of your life.
2. Expend Your Mental Energy Wisely
Wasting brain power ruminating about things you
can’t control drains mental energy quickly. The more
you think about negative problems that you can’t
solve, the less energy you’ll have leftover for creative
endeavors. For example, sitting and worrying about
the weather forecast isn’t helpful. If a major storm is
headed your way, worrying about it won’t prevent it.
You can, however, choose to prepare for it. Focus on
what is only within your control.
Save your mental energy for productive tasks, such as
solving problems or setting goals.When your
thoughts aren’t productive, make a conscious effort
to shift your mental energy to more helpful topics.
The more you practice expending your mental energy
wisely, the more it will become a habit.
3. Replace Negative Thoughts with Productive
Thoughts
Although most of us don’t spend time thinking about
our thoughts, increasing your awareness of your
thinking habits proves useful in building resilience.
Exaggerated, negative thoughts, such as, “I can’t ever
do anything right,” hold you back from reaching your
full potential. Catch your negative thoughts before
they spiral out of control and influence your behavior.
Identify and replace overly negative thoughts with
thoughts that are more productive. Productive
thoughts don’t need to be extremely positive, but
should be realistic. A more balanced thought may be,
“I have some weaknesses, but I also have plenty of
strengths.” Changing your thoughts requires constant
monitoring, but the process can be instrumental in
helping you become your best self.
4. Practice Tolerating Discomfort
Being mentally strong doesn’t mean you don’t
experience emotions. In fact, mental strength requires
you to become acutely aware of your emotions so you
can make the best choice about how to respond.
Mental strength is about accepting your feelings
without being controlled by them.
Mental strength also involves an understanding of
when it makes sense to behave contrary to your
emotions. For example, if you experience anxiety that
prevents you from trying new things or accepting new
opportunities, try stepping out of your comfort zone if
you want to continue to challenge yourself.
Tolerating uncomfortable emotions takes practice, but
it becomes easier as your confidence grows.
Practice behaving like the person you’d like to
become. Instead of saying, “I wish I could be more
outgoing,” choose to behave in a more outgoing
manner, whether you feel like it or not. Some
discomfort is often necessary for greater gain, and
tolerating that discomfort will help make your vision a
reality, one small step at a time.
5. Reflect on Your Progress Daily
Today’s busy world doesn’t lend itself to making
much time available for quiet reflection. Create time
to reflect upon your progress toward developing
mental strength. At the end of each day, ask yourself
what you’ve learned about your thoughts, emotions
and behavior. Consider what you hope to improve
upon or accomplish tomorrow.
Developing mental strength is a work in progress.
There is always room for improvement, and at times
this will seem more difficult than at other times.
Reflecting upon your progress can reinforce your
ability to reach your definition of success while living
according to your values.

How to loose weight fast in 2 weeks

Cosmo has come up with a fat-torching plan that
really will subtract up to 5 pounds from your bod in
seven days — without starvation, bizarre
supplements, or cutting out entire food groups.
How? It's all about small sacrifices combined with
specific techniques. And rather than giving you a
one-size-fits-all regimen, we figure you're more
likely to stick with the plan if you pick the eating
and exercise strategies that fit your lifestyle.
So choose at least four of the nutritionist- and fitness
expert-backed tips that follow, and vow to work
them into your schedule for seven days straight. If
you feel ambitious, tack on a few more. The more
you pick, the more weight you'll lose. If you start
now, by this time next week, you'll look and feel
way lighter.
DRINK MAINLY WATER
A sports or energy drink, fruit smoothie, or light
beer — each serving contains about 100 calories. Yet
these beverages don't satisfy you the way 100
calories of food does, so they're a waste. Other
liquids may be high in sodium and carbohydrates,
which trick your body into retaining water, puffing
you out.
Water, on the other hand, has zero calories and
carbs and little to no sodium, making it the perfect
slim-down drink. And strangely, it actually helps
flush out excess water weight as well as jump-starts
your metabolism. If it's just too boring, add lemon
wedges or mint leaves.

BAN WHITE BREAD AND PASTA
Cutting out all white grain products — such as white
rice, spaghetti, sandwich rolls — will instantly slim
you down because the simple carbs in these foods
cause bloating, especially around your belly. "Simple
carbohydrates wreak havoc on your weight because
they're digested very quickly, leaving you hungry
and more likely to overeat later," says Jana Klauer,
M.D., author of The Park Avenue Nutritionist's Plan.
To go a step further, instead of replacing them with
healthier yet still bloat-triggering whole-grain bread
products, substitute vegetables for the week. This
way, a chicken sandwich becomes chicken salad, and
chips and dip turn into carrots and dip. The complex
carbs from vegetables are digested more slowly, so
you remain full longer. And because veggies are
mostly water, they also help flush out excess water
weight.
DO CARDIO 30 MINUTES A DAY
Any workout that gets your heart rate up will burn
calories. But you'll use more calories if you pick a
cardio routine that engages multiple muscles
simultaneously, says Wendy Larkin, personal-
training manager at Crunch's Polk Street gym, in San
Francisco.
Three to consider: spinning, cardio kickboxing, and
boot-camp workouts. Half an hour of each torches
200 to 300 calories while toning up your arms, legs,
and core so everything appears sleeker and tighter.
You'll burn even more calories per session if your
workout incorporates interval training: alternating
short bursts of intense cardio with slower activity.
Experts aren't sure why it works, but trainers swear
by it.
DRINK COFFEE AN HOUR BEFORE
WORKING OUT
This is the one exception to the stick-to-water-only
rule: Just as a coffee run makes your morning at
work more productive, a pre-exercise cup of java
with a splash of skim milk (about 11 calories) or
black (just 5 calories) will energize your workout,
explains Dr. Klauer . "You'll burn more calories
without realizing you're pushing yourself harder."

HAVE NIGHTLY YOU-ON-TOP SEX
Not that you needed an excuse to hook up with your
guy every night, but the fact is, this position is a fat
blaster. Being on top means you do the rocking, and
the more active you are, the more calories you burn
— up to 144 for 30 minutes.
Sex also pumps levels of feel-good neurotransmitters,
endorphins, helping you ride out food cravings. Get
on top in reverse-cowgirl (i.e., facing away from
your guy) to give your thigh and butt muscles an
extra push.
DO 36 PUSH-UPS AND LUNGES EVERY
OTHER DAY
These gym-class staples will help sculpt muscle, so
you'll sport a more streamlined appearance. Do three
sets of 12 of each exercise every other day. "Push-
ups target your upper body, while lunges work your
butt, hips, and thighs," says Larkin. Quick tip: Make
sure your back and legs remain in a straight line
during your push-ups; it'll improve muscle tone.
Also, you can build even more muscle with the
lunges if you hold free weights in each hand while
doing them.

SLEEP 30 MINUTES MORE A NIGHT
That extra half an hour, whether you sleep 5 hours
or 8, can refresh you enough that you will make
better food choices (in other words, no quick sugar
fix for breakfast in search of energy) and won't feel
lethargic and skip the gym, says registered dietician
Esther Blum, author of Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous .
More restful sleep (7 to 8 hours is best) also boosts
your metabolism. And since your body builds muscle
while you snooze, getting zzz's equals better muscle
tone.
MAKE ONE FOOD SACRIFICE
Cutting out one indulgence — such as the chips you
have with lunch or the chocolate dessert you eat
after dinner — can subtract a few hundred calories
from your diet, which translates into less flab, says
Blum. "Your body won't even notice their absence."
DON'T LET THE CAMERA ADD POUNDS
Push your chin forward, hold your arms away from
your body, and turn slightly sideways from the
camera with one foot in front of the other.
GET THINNER IN HOURS
Really. These slenderizing effects may not be
permanent, but they'll help you look hotter in your
skinniest jeans on very short notice.
EAT SALMON FOR LUNCH
It's packed with nutrients that build muscle tone and
give your skin a healthy glow. Some nutritionists
claim that consuming a portion (doesn't matter how
it's cooked) may immediately make your face look a
bit more contoured.
STAND UP STRAIGHT
Keeping your spine rigid and your shoulders back
while sucking in your belly toward your spine gives
you a slimmer, more streamlined middle.
DO SQUATS AND SIT-UPS
Bodybuilders use this technique before competitions
because it adds definition to muscle. Do three sets of
12 of each exercise to tighten your abs, butt, and legs
temporarily.
POP AN ANTIGAS PILL
Take one of these chewable tablets, sold over-the-
counter at drugstores, to relieve bloating in your
abdomen and break up gas bubbles in your digestive
track, leaving you with a flatter tummy.
