WD-40

"Water Displacement #40".
The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and
degreaser to protect missile parts.
WD-40 was created in 1953, by three technicians at the San Diego
Rocket Chemical Company.
Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'Water
Displacement' Compound.
They were finally successful for a formulation, with their fortieth
attempt, thus WD-40. The 'Convair Company' bought it in bulk to
protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40
that would hurt you.
When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing
that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic,
it works just as well as on glass. It's a miracle!
Then try it on your stove-top.
It's now shinier than it's ever been.
You'll be amazed.

the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep
in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing
are not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and
stops the itch.

K+12, Makatuwiran Ba?

Naging malaking issue sa bansa ng mga nakaraang taon ang pagpapatupad ng ating gobyerno sa programang K+12 sa larangan ng edukasyon sa ating bansa, nagkaroon ng maraming pagtatalo at pagmamartsa sa kalsada para labanan ito kaya’t ipinatigil muna ang pagpaptupad nito.  At ngayon hindi na daw  mapipigil pa ang ating gobyerno sa pagpapatupad nito ngayong darating na pasukan.

Sa inyong palagay, makatuwiran ba sa bawat Pilipino ang pagpapatupad nito?

Ang K+12 para sa ating kaalaman ay bagong programang gustong ipatupad ng pamahalaan sa edukasyon ng bansa para maging competitive pagdating sa pakikipagtagisan sa ibang lahi, ang K ay para sa kindergarten, required na makapag-aral ang isang bata para makatuntong ng elementary, ang +12 ay hinati sa tatlong antas na aabot ng labing dalawang taon, ito ang anim na taon sa elementary, apat na taon sa junior high school at dalawang taon sa senior high school.

 

Ang aking pananaw sa programang ito ay ibabase ko sa sariling pag-aaral, kung ang isang mag-aaral ay magsisimula ng anim na taon para makapasok ng kinder at gugugol ng labingdalawang taon sa elementary at high school, at halimabawa gugugol pa ulit ng apat na taon sa kolehiyo, aabot ng 22 years old na siya bago makapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Naisip kaya ng ating gobyerno na kayang pag-aralin ng bawat magulang ang kanilang mga anak ng ganoon katagal na pag-aaral ng isang bata?

Oo makatuwiran ito sa mga taong may kaya, pero sa mga naghihirap ba makatuwiran din? Kung ngayon nga na hindi pa naipapatupad ang programang ito ay halos hindi na makatuntong ng ibang kababayan natin sa high school dahil sa kakapusan ng pangsuportang pinansyal sa pag-aaral ng mga magulang, ano pa kaya kung maipatupad na ang K+12? Ilan na lang kaya ang kayang makapagtapos sa pag-aaral?

Ang Pilipinas sa kasalukuyan ay may populasyon na mahigit 100 milyong Pilipino, ayon sa ibinigay na datos ng gobyerno, mahigit 13.2 milyon ang nakapag-enroll sa mga pampublikong paaralan sa buong bansa ng sy 2013-2014, at ayon sa surbey ng isang pribadong kompanya, aabot daw mahigit 12.1 milyong Pilipino ang naghihirap ng taong 2014.

Hindi kaya ng utak ko na kalkulahin kung may tama o mali sa proporsyon ng mga bilang ng mag-aaral at bilang ng populasyon sa Pilipinas, pero ang surbey na pinagkakatiwalaan at pinagbabasehan ng karamihan  sa tingin ko ay may mali, dito din ba ibinase ng gobyerno kaya gusto nilang ipatupad ang K+12? Sino sino ba ang mga taong tinanong para sa surbey na ito? Nalalaman ba ng mga taong ito at ng ating gobyerno kung gaano karami ang mga mahihirap sa Pilipinas? Hindi na siguro kailangan pang isa isahin.

Para sa akin hindi pa napapanahon ang pagpapatupad ng K+12, bagkus bigyan ng kosentrasyon ang kasalukuyang programa, gumabay sa pag-aaral sa buong bansa may kakayahan man o mahina sa edukasyon, magbigay ng siguardong trabaho sa mga gustong makapag-aral na kulang sa pinansyal at sa mga makakapagtapos. At sana maging sincere ang mga taong pingkakatiwalaan dito, huwag po na pinipili lang ang mabibigyan ng suporta. Madaming Pilipino ang umaasa sa inyo.

Isang katotohanan sa pagsisimula ng maliit na negosyo

Gusto ko lang ibahagi sa inyo ang isang katotohanan sa pagsisimula ng maliit na tindahan ng kapatid ko dito sa bahay namin, maliit na negosyo pero malaking tulong sa pang-araw araw na gastusin sa bahay. Noong una hindi ko inaakala na na magiging malaking tulong sa pinansyal ang noong parang isang laro lang ng pamangkin kong babae sa pagtitinda-tindahan dahil sa una medyo alanganin ang puwesto ng bahay namin kumpara sa ibang kapitbahay na mga naunang may tindahan na.

Alam nyo ba na sa halagang bente pesos (P20.00) nagsimula ang negosyo?

Totoo yan! Dahil malapit ang lugar namin sa talipapa,naisipan ng pamangkin ko na mamili ng mga pagkaing pambata (strategic marketing) na sa tingin nya ay madaling maibenta sa halagang bente pesos (small capital), at sa tuwing malapit ng maubos ang paninda ay dali-daling bibili ng panibagong item para may laman ang tinda nya (on time inventory).  Alam nyo ba na kumita at naging triple ang puhunan sa buong maghapon? (perfect place for a kind of business). Pagdating ng gabi pinag-usapan namin ng kapatid ko at hipag ko na suportahan ang hilig ng anak nila (opportunity grabber), nag-ambag kami ng tig-fifty pesos (P50.00) para malaman kung magiging matatag ang takbo ng tinda-tindahan, at sa buong linggo lumago ang sinimulang puhunan na hindi namin inaakala. Hanggang sa pinagplanuhan na namin na gawing maliit na negosyo ang nasimulan ng pamangkin ko, nagdagdag ng konting puhunan (additional capital), naghanap ng mas murang mapagkukunan ng kalakal at nag-isip ng mga produktong madaling maibenta.

Sampung taon pa lang ang pamangkin ko noon ng naiisipan nya ang ganitong negosyo.

Mahigit dalawang taon na ang nakalilipas pero hindi pa din nagbabago ang hatak ng tindahan na akal mo may magnet na humihila ng ng mga parokyano.

May mga ilang karibal na nagsara dahil halos lahat ng kapitbahay nila ay hindi na sa kanila bumibili.

Mga pinag-usapan sa sapagpaplano

1.       Huwag magtitinda ng mga madaling masira

2.       Maging makatuwiran ang halaga ng paninda

3.       Mamili ng mga panindang sasapat sa susunod na pamimili para may ibang items na mabibili

4.       Maging malinis at presentable maging sa sarili at sa paninda sa oras ng pagtitida

5.       Maging friendly sa lahat

Ito ay isang halimbawa lang ng pagsisimula ng maliit na negosyo

May mga pagkakataon na pwedeng mangyari sa inyo o kung hidi naman ay may iba pa na mas may kinalaman sa kakayanan nyo tulad ng pagtitinda ng ibang bagay,pagtitinda ng lutong pagkain, food processing, serbiyo o kung ano ano pa.

Sana makatulong sa lahat.

10 Big Differences Between Men’s and Women’s Brains

The differences between women and men are not only well-documented, but frequently at the heart of jokes, anecdotes, and good-natured (and not so good-natured) ribbing. Experts have discovered that there are actually differences in the way women’s and men’s brains are structured and in the way they react to events and stimuli. So the next time y

our wife, boyfriend, or parent starts telling you how you should have done something differently, then refer back to these big differences between men’s and women’s brains.

1. Human relationships
- Women tend to communicate more effectively than men, focusing on how to create a solution that works for the group, talking through issues, and utilizes non-verbal cues such as tone, emotion, and empathy whereas men tend to be more task-oriented, less talkative, and more isolated. Men have a more difficult time understanding emotions that are not explicitly verbalized, while women tend to intuit emotions and emotional cues. These differences explain why men and women sometimes have difficulty communicating and why men-to-men friendships look different from friendships among women.

2. Left brain vs. both hemispheres
- Men tend to process better in the left hemisphere of the brain while women tend to process equally well between the two hemispheres. This difference explains why men are generally stronger with left-brain activities and approach problem-solving from a task-oriented perspective while women typically solve problems more creatively and are more aware of feelings while communicating.

3. Mathematical abilities
- An area of the brain called the inferior-parietal lobule (IPL) is typically significantly larger in men, especially on the left side, than in women. This section of the brain is thought to control mental mathematical ability, and probably explains why men frequently perform higher in mathematical tasks than do women. Interestingly, this is the same area of Einstein’s brain that was discovered to be abnormally large. The IPL also processes sensory information, and the larger right side in women allows them to focus on, “specific stimuli, such as a baby crying in the night.”

4. Reaction to stress
- Men tend to have a “fight or flight” response to stress situations while women seem to approach these situations with a “tend and befriend” strategy. Psychologist Shelley E. Taylor coined the phrase “tend and befriend” after recognizing that during times of stress women take care of themselves and their children (tending) and form strong group bonds (befriending). The reason for these different reactions to stress is rooted in hormones. The hormone oxytocin is released during stress in everyone. However, estrogen tends to enhance oxytocin resulting in calming and nurturing feelings whereas testosterone, which men produce in high levels during stress, reduces the effects of oxytocin.

5. Language
- Two sections of the brain responsible for language were found to be larger in women than in men, indicating one reason that women typically excel in language-based subjects and in language-associated thinking. Additionally, men typically only process language in their dominant hemisphere, whereas women process language in both hemispheres. This difference offers a bit of protection in case of a stroke. Women may be able to recover more fully from a stroke affecting the language areas in the brain while men may not have this same advantage.

6. Emotions
- Women typically have a larger deep limbic system than men, which allows them to be more in touch with their feelings and better able to express them, which promotes bonding with others. Because of this ability to connect, more women serve as caregivers for children. The down side to this larger deep limbic system is that it also opens women up to depression, especially during times of hormonal shifts such as after childbirth or during a woman’s menstrual cycle.

7. Brain size
- Typically, men’s brains are 11-12% bigger than women’s brains. This size difference has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence, but is explained by the difference in physical size between men and women. Men need more neurons to control their greater muscle mass and larger body size, thus generally have a larger brain.

8. Pain
- Men and women perceive pain differently. In studies, women require more morphine than men to reach the same level of pain reduction. Women are also more likely to vocalize their pain and to seek treatment for their pain than are men. The area of the brain that is activated during pain is the amygdala, and researchers have discovered that in men, the right amygdala is activated and in women, the left amygdala is activated. The right amygdala has more connections with areas of the brain that control external functions while the right amygdala has more connections with internal functions. This difference probably explains why women perceive pain more intensely than do men.

9. Spatial ability
- Men typically have stronger spatial abilities, or being able to mentally represent a shape and its dynamics, whereas women typically struggle in this area. Medical experts have discovered that women have a thicker parietal region of the brain, which hinders the ability to mentally rotate objects–an aspect of spatial ability. Research has shown this ability in babies as young as 5 months old, negating any ideas that these abilities were strengthened by environmental influences.

10. Susceptibility to disorders
- Because of the way men and women use the two hemispheres of the brain differently, there are some disorders that men and women are susceptible to in different ways. Men are more apt to have dyslexia or other language problems. If women have dyslexia, they are more likely to compensate for it. Women, on the other hand, are more susceptible to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. While handedness is not a disorder, these brain tendencies also explain why more men are left-handed than are women. Men are also more likely to be diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and Tourette’s Syndrome.

LESSONS OF LIFE

Psalm 129

A Priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,  ”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Naked Wife

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.

After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…

“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”

Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

The Manager
 
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the administration clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
