U can see the sound now!!
We were taught that sound is invisible as the air since our childhood, but is that absolutely right? Not necessarily. Recently, the designers have broken the stereotypes of contemporary square speakers, and invented a new one that allows you to see the sound. When you play the music, the rings on top of the speaker, shinning blue, will start moving, vibrating to the rhythm of music and thereby let us to see the sound. Magic!
Your brain
*3 = the weight of your brain in pounds
*4 to 6 = the number of minutes your brain can survive without oxygen before it starts to die
*8 to 10 = the number of seconds you have before losing consciousness due to blood loss
*10 to 23 = the number of watts of power your grain generates when you’re awake (that’s enough to turn on a light bulb!)
*20 = the percentages of oxygen and blood flow going to the brain

*Each person has about the same number of brain cells at birth as in adulthood, but those cells grow, reaching maximum size at about age six.
*Your brain is the most fatty organ in your body
*New connections are created each and every time you remember something or have a new thought.
*Memories triggered by scent (like cologne) have a stronger emotional connection, and therefore appear more intense than other memory triggers.
*It’s not your brain that’s hurting when you get a headache – without pain receptors, your brain can’t feel any pain

"Transsexual" Fish
A favorite of divers in Australia, the blue groper grows to about three feet (one meter) long and can change its own sex. But its numbers are diving, and researchers are trying to throw the groper a lifeline
Bob Harcourt, Associate Professor Macquarie University: "The blue groper is a large fish, but the really sexy thing about Blue Groper is they start off as females. We’ve got lots of blue groper that are small green groper and as an old male dies then the largest most dominant females turns blue and becomes male.
And so one of the really cool things about these fish, is the sex ratio doesn’t really vary, but it is a function of how well protected they are. If you take a lot of males out, then the females have to spend a lot of their time turning into males, which means they can’t breed and they can’t lay eggs."

Tire art
Mexican artist Betsabeé Romero sculpted used, worn car and truck tires into fabulous works of art. As a bonus, the carved tires act as rolling rubber stamps.
The ultimate quote of the day
The Ultimate Quote of the day:
Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

Sand Drawing Taken to Level Way Beyond Next
We've all seen (and tried) sand-drawing, but this is beyond insane. This Ukrainian Talent contestant has absurd drawing and storytelling skills. While Western audiences might not fully grasp the '1945' context that she manages to encapsulate in this mind-blowing performance, rest assured the tears in the Ukrainian audience members' eyes and the standing ovation were there for a reason.

12ft hedge of elephants
A homeowner concerned that his garden was becoming a jungle - has transformed it into a herd of elephants.
Green-fingered Gavin Hogg decided the hedge outside his kitchen window had grown wild, so he set about it with a power-trimmer, shears and even a pair of scissors.
The 49-year-old carefully carved out seven adult elephants and three babies, using a photo to guide him.Now the unique topiary hedge has become a tourist attraction outside his home in Brecon, South Wales.
Mr Hogg said: 'I found a picture of a group of elephants and set about shaping the hedge - it took me about two days.
'The ears and trunks were a but tricky but I am pleased with the end result.'
The father-of-two and his wife Vina fell in love with elephants after going on a safari holiday to Kenya.

"كير" تطلق حملة لتوزيع 100 ألف نسخة .. وأوباما يتسلم نسخة من المصحف في 15 يوليو
أطلقت الجمعية الإسلامية (كير) أكبر حملة لتوزيع القرآن الكريم مجاناً في أمريكا، على جميع المسؤولين في الحكومة إلى جانب توزيع 100 ألف نسخة أخرى على المواطنين غير المسلمين . وتقرر أن يتم تسليم الرئيس الأمريكي باراك أوباما نسخة من القران الكريم في الخامس من شهر يوليو ، حيث سيزور مقر كير. وتستهدف الحملة التي تطلق للمرة الأولى، إلى أن تصل أكثر من 100 ألف نسخة من القرآن هذا العام إلى أيدي الأمريكيين مع الترجمة الصحيحة والدقيقة لمعانيه وأسباب نزول الآيات، على أن يتم الاستمرار في الحملة إلى أن يتم توزيع أكثر من مليون نسخة من القرآن خلال السنوات القليلة المقبلة
وأوضحت كير بأنها ستركز في بداية حملتها التي انطلقت عصر اليوم وأطلق عليها "شاركونا القران" على إرسال أكبر عدد من نسخ القران الكريم إلى المسؤولين المهمين في الدولة والمسؤولين في وزارة العدل الأمريكية والمشرعين والمحللين السياسيين وجميع الإعلاميين.
وأشارت كير إلى أن نحو 60 % من الشعب الأمريكي أو المقيمين غير المسلمين في الولايات المتحدة لا يعرفون الكثير عن الإسلام وعن القران الكريم، ومعلوماتهم بسيطة جداً عن الدين الإسلامي كما أن أكثرها غير صحيح، كما أوضحت أنه سيتم إيصال أكثر من مليون نسخة من القران الكريم للأمريكيين حتى يصل كتاب الله إلى جميع البيوت الأمريكية، وليتمكن غير المسلمين من التعرف على تعاليم الدين الإسلامي
وبين المسؤولين في كير، أن غالبية الأمريكيين يرحبون بالحصول على نسخة من القرآن وهم متحمسون لقراءته ومعرفة تعاليم الدين الإسلامي، خاصة وأن لهم علاقات كثيرة مع الجالية المسلمة ولهم جيران وأصدقاء وزملاء عمل من المسلمين
