To help ward off dementia
Implementation of some of these ideas may help!
To help ward off dementia, train your brain. Timing is everything. It's also important when it comes to taking care of your brain. Yet most of us start worrying about dementia after retirement - and that may be too little, too late.
Experts say that if you really want to ward off dementia, you need to
start taking care of your brain in your 30s and 40s - or even earlier.
"More and more research is suggesting that lifestyle is very important
to your brain's health," says Dr. Paul Nussbaum, a neuropsychologist and
an adjunct associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of
Medicine. "If you want to live a long, healthy life, then many of us
need to start as early as we can."
So what can you do to beef up your brain - and possibly ward off
dementia? Nussbaum, who recently gave a speech on the topic for the
Winter Park (Fla.) Health Foundation, offers 20 tips that may help.
1. Join clubs or organizations that need volunteers. If you start
volunteering now, you won't feel lost and unneeded after you retire.
2. Develop a hobby or two. Hobbies help you develop a robust brain
because you're trying something new and complex.
3. Practice writing with your nondominant hand several minutes every
day. This will exercise the opposite side of your brain and fire up
those neurons.
4. Take dance lessons. In a study of nearly 500 people, dancing was the
only regular physical activity associated with a significant decrease in
the incidence of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The people who
danced three or four times a week showed 76 percent less incidence of
dementia than those who danced only once a week or not at all.
5. Need a hobby? Start gardening. Researchers in New Zealand found
that, of 1,000 people, those who gardened regularly were less likely to
suffer from dementia. Not only does gardening reduce stress, but
gardeners use their brains to plan gardens; they use visual and spatial
reasoning to lay out a garden.
6. Buy a pedometer and walk 10,000 steps a day. Walking daily can
reduce the risk of dementia because cardiovascular health is important
to maintain blood flow to the brain.
7. Read and write daily. Reading stimulates a wide variety of brain
areas that process and store information. Likewise, writing (not
copying) stimulates many areas of the brain as well.
8. Start knitting. Using both hands works both sides of your brain. And
it's a stress reducer..
9. Learn a new language. Whether it's a foreign language or sign
language, you are working your brain by making it go back and forth
between one language and the other. A researcher in England found that
being bilingual seemed to delay symptoms of Alzheimer's disease for four
years. (And some research suggests that the earlier a child learns sign
language, the higher his IQ - and people with high IQs are less likely
to have dementia. So start them early.)
10. Play board games such as Scrabble and Monopoly. Not only are you
taxing your brain, you're socializing too. (Playing solo games, such as
solitaire or online computer brain games can be helpful, but Nussbaum
prefers games that encourage you to socialize too.)
11. Take classes throughout your lifetime. Learning produces structural
and chemical changes in the brain, and education appears to help people
live longer. Brain researchers have found that people with advanced
degrees live longer - and if they do have Alzheimer's, it often becomes
apparent only in the very later stages of the disease.
12. Listen to classical music. A growing volume of research suggests
that music may hard wire the brain, building links between the two
hemispheres. Any kind of music may work, but there's some research that
shows positive effects for classical music, though researchers don't
understand why.
13.. Learn a musical instrument. It may be harder than it was when you
were a kid, but you'll be developing a dormant part of your brain.
14. Travel. When you travel (whether it's to a distant vacation spot or
on a different route across town), you're forcing your brain to navigate
a new and complex environment. A study of London taxi drivers found
experienced drivers had larger brains because they have to store lots of
information about locations and how to navigate there.
15. Pray. Daily prayer appears to help your immune system. And people
who attend a formal worship service regularly live longer and report
happier, healthier lives.
16. Learn to meditate. It's important for your brain that you learn to
shut out the stresses of everyday life.
17. Get enough sleep. Studies have shown a link between interrupted
sleep and dementia.
18. Eat more foods containing omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon, sardines,
tuna, ocean trout, mackerel or herring, plus walnuts (which are higher
in omega 3s than salmon) and flaxseed. Flaxseed oil, cod liver oil and
walnut oil are good sources too..
19. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants in fruits and
vegetables mop up some of the damage caused by free radicals, one of the
leading killers of brain cells.
20. Eat at least one meal a day with family and friends. You'll slow
down, socialize, and research shows you'll eat healthier food than if
you ate alone or on the go.

Oldest New Testament Bible heads into cyberspace
By Dave Graham
BERLIN (Reuters) - More than 1,600 years after it was written in Greek, one of the oldest copies of the Bible will become globally accessible online for the first time this week.
From Thursday, sections of the Codex Sinaiticus, which contains the oldest complete New Testament, will be available on the Internet, said the University of Leipzig, one of the four curators of the ancient text worldwide.
High resolution images of the Gospel of Mark, several Old Testament books, and notes on the work made over centuries will appear on www.codex-sinaiticus.net as a first step towards publishing the entire manuscript online by next July.
Ulrich Johannes Schneider, director of Leipzig University Library, which holds part of the manuscript, said the publication of the Codex online would allow anyone to study a work of "fundamental" importance to Christians.
"A manuscript is going onto the net which is like nothing else online to date," Schneider said. "It's also an enrichment of the virtual world -- and a bit of a change from YouTube."
Selected translations will be available in English and German for those not conversant in ancient Greek, he added.
Dating from around 350, the document is believed by experts to be the oldest known copy of the Bible, along with the Codex Vaticanus, another ancient version of the Bible, Schneider said.
The vellum manuscript came to Europe piece by piece from Saint Catherine's Monastery by Mount Sinai after German biblical scholar Konstantin von Tischendorf found a number of folios there in 1844. He was allowed to take some to Leipzig.
Tischendorf returned to the monastery in 1859 with Russian backing and acquired the biggest section of the Bible for his imperial sponsors. It remained in St. Petersburg until the Soviet Union sold it to the British Museum in 1933.
"The first section was clearly a gift to Tischendorf, but that's not so clear in the case of the second portion. The monks all signed a contract at the time, but the rumor persists that they were given a raw deal," said Schneider.
"And there is probably some truth to this."
Subsequent discoveries meant that the original Codex, missing roughly half the Old Testament, is now housed at four locations in Europe and the Middle East.
The project, launched in cooperation with the Russian National Library, the British Library and Saint Catherine's Monastery, also details the condition of the Bible, believed to have been written by early Christians in Egypt.
"I think it's just fantastic that thanks to technology we can now make the oldest cultural artifacts -- ones that were once so precious you couldn't show them to anyone -- accessible to everyone, in really high quality," said Schneider.

Looking for HDB flat
Yesterday went to view a flat at AMK area... When i reach the void deck, i don't really like it. It near to the MRT, location was good. but i feel not enough light in the block.
When i reach the unit, wah... the owner rent it out. the whole house condition was very bad. It really not worst to get it. Will need at least 40~50K to recondition the whole house. just not worth the price.
Hope i really no need to spent every weekend looking for houses. Able to get a beautiful house that no need to spent a lot of money on it. I think the most important are the price. Nowadays the price are all so expensive. At least 300K+++ for a 4 room flat.

They always occupied a lot of space, able to read newsapaper. n i was being force to stay near the door, plus i need to bring notebook therefore my bag are big, and being force to put on the floor.
When i put on the floor, when the station door open, i will have diffcult to move inside or out. Today even worst, a lady keep moving vy close to me, and i have to support her weight... haiz... this is how bad when i travel to and back from work. it getting worst nowadays....
sometime i prefer to take bus, as i able to sit down... but too bad, i not able to take direct bus to work... travel time too long, mrt is still the fastest...

The seed
"...The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God's word,but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, and
the lure of wealth, so NO fruit is produced..." - Matt 13:7-22 or Luke 8:11-15
Weeds and thorns in our hearts choke out good things and pose a threat to righteous and fruitful living.
(i) When I complain, I choke out contentment
(ii) When I worry, I choke out peace
(iii) When I judge, I choke out mercy
When I finish weeding, I offered thanks that through God's power,
I can experience victory over things that would otherwise choke His truth.
Just for Fun ;)

美女为自己的聪明得意地笑了起来，哪知笑声未落，从坟墓里传出一个阴森森的声音说： " 闺女，你咋又忘记带钥匙了呢？ " 吓得美女尖叫著跑了。这时，一个盗墓者从坟墓里爬了出来，说： " 影响我工作，吓死你 " 。
突然发现墓碑前有一老者，手拿凿子在刻墓碑，就好奇地问： " 你在干吗 " ？老者生气地说： " 这些不肖子孙把我的墓碑都刻错了，只好自己来改啦 " 。盗墓者一听，吓得撒腿就跑了。看著盗墓者的背影，老者冷笑道： " 跟老子抢生意，吓死你 " 。一不小心，凿子掉地上了，老者正要弯腰去拾，却看见从草丛中伸出一只手，同时还有个冷冰冰声音： " 啊，敢乱改我家的门牌号 " 。吓得老者连滚带爬地跑了。一个拾荒者从草丛中爬出来，捡起地上的凿子，感叹道： " 这年头，捡块烂铁还得费这么大神。
