Wise Words for You

"Happy New Year!" That greeting will be said and heard for at least the first couple of weeks of 2013 as a new year gets under way. But the day celebrated as New Year's Day in modern America was not always January 1. Ancient New Years The celebration of the new year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago. In the years around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first New Moon (actually the first visible cresent) after the Vernal Equinox (first day of spring). The beginning of spring is a logical time to start a new year. After all, it is the season of rebirth, of planting new crops, and of blossoming. January 1, on the other hand, has no astronomical nor agricultural significance. It is purely arbitrary. The Babylonian new year celebration lasted for eleven days. Each day had its own particular mode of celebration, but it is safe to say that modern New Year's Eve festiv...

  Merry Christmas one and all (Nadelik Lowen) I am not generally not good with speeches nor am I here to spread the word, instead you have my word and thoughts on this Christmas & the last year. The best place to start is the beginning of the year, I was in Cornwall (Wise Words Manor) having only recently travelled back from "Middle England" I was highly emotional as for the first time I was alone, yes I did have Peter & Tina for moral support but this was my time for reflection (maybe if I stayed I would have started this Blog sooner) I still attended Penwith Radio, yes trouble came back with me in this month but I found the right sense of way and I helped in ensuring that the problem didn't become a major problem. I then went back to Middle England on and off for the next couple of months until February where I stuck my heels in and vowed to stay there to show that I wasn't to go again but I did and I came back to Cornwall for 5 days, but yet again, I was ...

  Subliminal messages can expose the brain to low-level images or visual information that passes below the limits of peoples’ perception. Research shows that in reducing stress and motivating people, subliminal messages are an effective tool. Subliminal is known to help in working the subconscious mind when learning information without the need to focus or give full attention towards it. Moreover, it accesses the sense of hearing and sight to connect to the subconscious mind and to feed specific information without being noticed. Nonetheless, the subliminal messaging is quite a new phenomenon, but is slowly starting to take over the internet. They are becoming recognized as a legitimate way to take control of your mind, and influence changes in your self beliefs, behavior, and even your core personality and nature. The subliminal messages are the positive affirmations that are based on the principles of NLP. It works quite simply, the subliminal audio involves putting an album on...

Now my Blogs are unbiased, but this debate has got me thinking as I have had an iPhone 4S and due to get the iPhone 5 any day now. I want to know what is better as Comedian Harry Hill would say "Figggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht" on Harry Hill's TV Burp which sadly isn't shown on telly anymore but there is comedies which has long standing sketches which involves fights ie in Family Guy Peter Griffin fighting the Chicken. Reception and Sales Aside from claims that they weren't exicitng or different enough from their predecessors, the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 launches largely flew by without too many problems. The iPhone 5 sold five million units in its first weekend, topping the four million the iPhone 4S sold in its first few days. The biggest scandal of Apple devices in recent times is one that affects both the iPhone 5 and 4S - iOS Maps . Apple has ditched Google Maps to produce its own service, and it's pretty ropey at present, with mis-named towns and p...
