managing your success

One of the most critical decisions any CEO makes is who to include on the executive team. Most executives are willing to spend weeks developing a new product strategy that will add significantly to the company’s success, but then they spend only about 15 hours hiring the person who will implement the strategy.

Clearly, the higher in the organization new hires reside, the greater their potential impact. Ironically, these hires often receive less thoughtful attention than hires at lower level in the organization.

How does this happen? Primarily because the hiring manager often is the CEO, who has an overwhelmingly busy schedule. CEOs are often ill-prepared for interviews, having put little serious thought into what specific questions to ask the candidates and what specific skills they want to acquire.

Here are some important tips to keep in mind:

- Preparation is critical. Most executives are going from their gut reaction, rather than from empirical information gathered from the interview. This approach -"I´ll know a good person when I see them"- doesn´t take into account that some people are good interviewees and some aren´t. There is a real difference between someone you may enjoy in a brief meeting and someone who has the skills and experience you really need.

The hiring manager should think through and write down three lists of criteria: what critical skills are absolutely required; what are the desired secondary skills; and what is your "dream" list. Refer to the list during the interview.

- Personally conduct several reference checks for each candidate. Don´t rely entirely on the search firm.

- Demand well-balanced assessments of the strengths and weaknesses from your recruiter prior to meeting the candidate.

- Most senior level hires should involve three meetings. Use the first to set the hook. Many CEOs drag the candidates through days of half-hour meetings with groups of subordinates. This is a mistake, and it tests nothing but the candidate´s stamina. The first meeting should include a maxium of three people -the majority of time spent with the hiring manager, and some time with one peer and the hiring manager´s boss. Limit the second meeting to those few people who have the most to gain by hiring the new person- senior-level hirings have been derailed because of veiled jealousy.

- In the first meeting, let the candidate talk. It sounds so obvious, but many CEOs dominate the interview. Ask open-ended questions, and make certain that al least half the time allotted is given to the candidate.

- Be certain that the other people who will meet the candidate understand the criteria for hiring. The focus should not be whether they like the candidate. What matters is the successful track record and skills that would give your company the highest probability of success. And there will be plenty of time to get to like the candidate later.

- A surprising number of CEOs don´t bother to follow the basic rules of politeness. Be on time for interviews, be prepared, study the candidate´s background ahead of time and not during the interview, don´t accept phone calls during the meeting and don´t allow yourself to be distracted from the candidate.

Clients tend to forget that a majority of the people interviewed for top jobs will be in a position at some point to impact your company, through mergers, acquisitions, collaborations, licensing or just passing on information about your firm to colleagues.

Remember, what goes around, comes around.

- Plan to spend at least one and a half hours minimum of focused time. Don’t conduct an interview during a meal -it’s too distracting. I’ve had CEOs tell me, "Give me twenty minutes and I’ll tell you if they are right for the job". I could pose successfully as a brain surgeon for twenty minutes. Take the time to do it right.

- Don’t discuss compensation during the first meeting. Ninety percent of the decision should be based on whether there is a good fit between the candidate and the company. If you’ve found the right person, you can make the offer work.

- Demand immediate feedback via the recruiter following interviews from the candidate on his or her feelings about the company, the position, the chemistry of the various interviews so that future meetings can be more substantive.

Even more important, make sure that your company provides immediate feedback to the candidate. Fire off a short note after each interview, thanking the candidate for considering your company.

- Spousal issues can make or break a key hire. Candidates are likely to have working spouses. Address this issue early in the process.

Be realistic in your commitments to the candidates spouse -offer assistance, make introductions, commit resources, make honest efforts, build a marketing plan and don’t rely on your recruiter (they can help but can’t "create" a position). Invite the spouse to a social event, usually a casual dinner with three or four couples, prior to the final offer meeting. Most of the CEOs of our industry have contacts within their community and in the business world and can help integrate the spouse into the area quickly.

- Ethics are critical for all participants in the hiring process. There has to be trust between the involved parties. The CEO must fairly describe the opportunity by openly and honestly discussing the company, its financing, its opportunities and the potential downside. You are asking people to change their lives and devote themselves to a new opportunity -it impacts their entire life. You can´t earn that devotion without full disclosure. Also valid candidates will find out this information at some point anyway- and if they find out you’ve withheld important information, the relationship is poisoned.

Candidates must project their own credentials in a fair and honest way, treat the information they receive confidentially and with integrity. The recruiter has an obligation to present strong candidates with solid critiques of their strengths and weaknesses, provide immediate feedback from the candidate to the client, and conduct truthful objective reporting on the candidate and solid reference checking before, during, and after the search.

The key differentiating factor for your company is not the science or the money, it is the people. The fundamental variable in your success is the quality of the key people, who drive the company.

microsoft =rand() - bug, fun or amazing

Like jokes, urban legends, and virus hoaxes, tips about Word’s little-used or undocumented features periodically makes their way around the Internet, occasioning a wave of postings in Word newsgroups. One of these is =rand(), which is sometimes represented as an Easter egg, sometimes feared as a possible virus. It is neither. It is a Word function (undocumented in the online Help but documented in the Microsoft Knowledge Base) that can be useful in certain circumstances.
The rand function

The Microsoft Knowledge Base article How to Insert Sample Text into a Document in Word [212251] explains the use and syntax of the function:

Microsoft Word allows you to quickly insert sample text into a document. To do this, type =rand() in the document where you want the text to appear, and then press ENTER.

The inserted text is that hardy perennial: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,” which contains every letter in the English alphabet.

By default, the sample text contains three paragraphs, each containing five sentences. You can control how many paragraphs and sentences appear by adding numbers inside the parentheses, for instance:

=rand(3,4)

The first number is the number of paragraphs, and the second the number of sentences per paragraph. If you omit the second number, you get five sentences in each paragraph. So, for example:

=rand(3,4)

inserts three, four-sentence paragraphs, while:

=rand(10)

inserts ten, five-sentence paragraphs

The maximum number for either parameter is 200 and may be lower depending on the number of paragraphs and sentences specified. For instance, if you specify 200 paragraphs, then the maximum number of sentences per paragraph you can specify is 99:

=rand(200, 99)

If you specify 200 sentences per paragraph, then the maximum number of paragraphs you can specify is 99.

Admittedly, this function serves a useful purpose for filling a page when you’re designing a template and want to see how it will look with text in it. It’s also easy to see how users can be alarmed and fear this is a virus when someone suggests they try “=rand(200,99),” which quickly blows up into a giant document! (Incidentally, part of the instructions in some versions is to “Make sure there is a space between = and rand and a space between rand and (200,99).” This actually makes no difference: the function works equally well with and without spaces.)

A better method of creating dummy text

Although the rand function is quick and easy, the text it produces is not very natural. All the paragraphs are the same length, and, because every sentence is the same, the lines will tend to break in the same places. The result is that some possible formatting problems may be masked. Another, more useful, possibility, therefore, is to use “Greek“ or “lorem ipsum” text.

Because this kind of dummy text is very commonly used by designers (because it gives a natural look without distracting content), you’ve probably seen examples of it. Microsoft even used it in the Microsoft TrueType Font Assistant (version 1.1) in Windows 3.x. According to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article: What ‘lorem ipsum dolor sit amet’ Means (Q114222):

The phrase “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” appears in Microsoft TrueType Font Assistant for each example of the fonts available. This phrase has the appearance of an intelligent Latin idiom. Actually, it’s nonsense .... It's used because the letters involved and the letter spacing in those combinations reveal at their best the weight, design, and other important features of the typeface.

“Although the phrase is nonsense,” the article continues, “it does have a long history.” If you’re curious about that history, follow the link above.

The Lorem ipsum text is also discussed at The Free Online Dictionary of Computing, which adds that: “The point of using this text, or some other text of incidental intelligibility, is that it has a more-or-less normal (for English and Latin, at least) distribution of ascenders, descenders, and word lengths, as opposed to just using ‘abc 123 abc 123’, ‘Content here content here’, or the like.”

If you want to use the text, here’s how:

1.A sample of “lorem ipsum” text is provided below. Copy it and paste it into a Word document.

2.You may want to duplicate the text (to expand it) and edit it to create longer and shorter paragraphs, add some dummy headings, or the like. (The chunk I have saved is about a page long, which is a useful size; you can always truncate it as needed.) Needless to say, you can break the text anywhere – not just between sentences.

3.To keep Word’s spelling checker from going crazy when you use this text, do it (and yourself) a favor by selecting the text and choosing “(no proofing)” as the language under Tools Language Set Language.

4.To save the text as an AutoText entry, select it, press Alt+F3, and type in a name for your AutoText entry. (After some experimentation, I settled on “lorem”; now whenever I type “lore” and press Enter, the text is inserted.)

Here’s the text:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat nulla facilisis at vero eros et accumsan et iusto odio dignissim qui blandit praesent luptatum zzril delenit augue duis dolore te feugait nulla facilisi. Nam liber tempor cum soluta nobis eleifend option congue nihil imperdiet doming id quod mazim placerat facer possim assum.

One caveat about the above sample: it does not contain every letter in the English alphabet. If it is important for testing purposes that you include every letter, then you are better off with quick brown foxes.

Rumer : At Microsoft the whole team couldn't answer why this happened and they add a prize of $1,00,000 to the person who could answer this...

crazy confusion - amazing story

A psychiatrist visited a California mental institution and asked a patient, "How did you get here? What was the nature of your illness?" He got the following reply.

"Well, it all started when I got married and I guess I should never have done it. I married a widow with a grown daughter who then became my stepdaughter.

My dad came to visit us, fell in love with my lovely stepdaughter, then married her. And so my stepdaughter was now my stepmother. Soon, my wife had a son who was, of course, my daddy's brother-in-law since he is the half-brother of my stepdaughter, who is now, of course, my daddy's wife.

So, as I told you, when my stepdaughter married my daddy, she was at once my stepmother! Now, since my new son is brother to my stepmother, he also became my uncle. As you know, my wife is my step-grandmother since she is my stepmother's mother. Don't forget that my stepmother is my stepdaughter. Remember, too, that I am my wife's grandson.

But hold on just a few minutes more. You see, since I'm married to my step-grandmother, I am not only the wife's grandson and her hubby, but I am also my own grandfather. Now can you understand how I got put in this place?"

After staring blankly with a dizzy look on his face, the psychiatrist replied: "Move over!"

30 million dollar diamond bikini


WOULD YOU GO SWIMMING IN 30 MILLION DOLLARS?

The 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue to feature custom made 30 million dollar diamond bikini

History has been made! The most expensive piece of diamond apparel ever made is making its debut in the 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. The 30 million dollar Diamond Bikini, designed by Susan Rosen whose designs have been worn by Madonna, Lebron James and Gwen Stefani worked with Steinmetz Diamonds to create the ultimate bikini, a special commission in collaboration with the editors of Swimsuit.

The bikini is made up of over 150 carats of D Flawless diamonds, some of the rarest in the world including a 51ct D Flawless Pear Shape, a 30ct D Flawless Emerald Cut, a pair of 15ct D Flawless Rounds and a pair of 8ct D Flawless Pear Shapes. All of the diamonds are free of inclusions, or nature’s birthmarks, making the sparkle and brilliance unsurpassable. That, coupled with perfect D colored stones, which are set in platinum, makes the bikini truly extraordinary.

Diamonds represent many things in our culture; however, the diamond bikini is the ultimate in fine body jewelry reflecting women’s true mystical and eternal beauty.

The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress. Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly; however, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.

It can happen only in indian movies bollywood

It can happen only in Indian Movies - Mistakes in Bollywood movies.

Baghban : Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini are separated right after Holi remember Amitabh singing Holi khele Raghubeera?). They are said to be separated for six months, ie from March to September. Within that six-month period, they celebrate Valentine's Day, which falls on February 14, and karva chauth, which is usually observed in October. There is no way these two occasions could come between March and September!

Lagaan : Lagaan was shot in the late 19th century. At the time, an over in cricket used to consist of 8 balls. But in this movie, an over has 6 balls. Maybe modern cricket learnt from the movie.

Amar Akbar Anthony : Three men donate blood at the same time to the same person.

Awwal Number: Dev Anand is an omnipotent genius -- former cricketer,captain, army chief, commissioner, you name it. And Aamir Khan carries a huge transistor in his pocket while batting!

Khalnayak : The police tracks the villain from an MS Word Document screen! something that office team will be interested in)

Pyar To Hona Hi Tha : Kajol gets off the train to use the public toilet at the railway station and the train chugs off without her. Poor girl,little did she know that every train compartment has four toilets inside.

Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi : Akshay Kumar boards a Jet Airways flight to America. Well, well, some promotion for our Indian Jet Airways. Since when did they start flying international?

Raja Hindustani : Navneet Nishan has short hair before marriage. After tying the knot, she acquires waist-length hair overnight. What a hair-raising experience!

Raja : Dilip Tahil empties a can of petrol over Madhuri Dixit. Minutes later, Sanjay Kapoor takes the same can and pours it over Dilip Tahil. That's what I call an autofill!

Guddu : Manisha Koirala and Shah Rukh Khan are seen hanging on a parachute during a song. But when the song ends, they land on a glider. What a switch above sea level!

Tere Mere Sapne : Priya Gill is doing her BA. But at the bus stop, she is carrying an electrical technology thesis by B L Theraja. What an electrifying interest!!!

mind of indian - amazing indian story

MIND OF THE INDIAN !!! OF COURSE VERY CLEVERINDEED

Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asksfor the loan officer.

He tells the loan officer that he is going to India onbusiness for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.The bank officer tells him that the bank will needsome form of security for the loan, so the Indian manhands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on thestreet in front of the bank. He produces the title andeverything checks out.

The loan officer agrees to accept the car ascollateral for the loan. The bank's president and itsofficers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian forusing a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. Anemployee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into thebank's underground garage and parks it there.Two weeks later the Indian returns, repays the $5,000and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to havehad your business, and this transaction has worked outvery nicely, but we are a little puzzled.

While you were away, we checked you out and found thatyou are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is, whywould you bother to borrow $5,000'".The Indian replies: "Where else in New York City can Ipark my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expectit to be there when I return'"

Ahhh, the mind of the Indian...Too Good

Latest Trojan Ransoms Virus, Demands $300

The Trojan archives 44 file types with a ZIP library, then password-protects the files and deletes the originals. But some have discovered the password needed to free the files.

A Trojan is loose that locks up files and then demands a $300 ransom to return access, several security firms said Thursday, but at least two have discovered the password needed to free the files.

Dubbed "Cryzip" by some anti-virus vendors and "Zippo.a" by others, the Trojan archives 44 file types -- including .doc (Microsoft Word), .pdf (Adobe Acrobat), and .jpg (images) -- with a ZIP library, then password-protects the files and deletes the originals.

A "ransom note" is left on the machine, and reads in part: "Do not try to search for a program what encrypted your information - it is simply do not exists in your hard disk anymore. If you really care about documents and information in encrypted files you can pay using electonic [sic] currency $300.

"Reporting to police about a case will not help you, they do not know password."

At least two security firms, however, have dug up the password, which was left in plain view within one of the DLL files dropped by the Trojan. According to both Sophos and LURHQ, the password is:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98

"Because this string often appears inside projects compiled with Visual C++ 6, the author likely figured anyone who found the infecting DLL and examined its strings looking for the password would simply overlook it," LURHQ wrote in its Cryzip advisory.

"There should be no need for anyone to pay the reward," said Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant with Sophos, in a separate statement. "It looks like this password was deliberately chosen by the author in an attempt to fool analysts into thinking it was a directory path instead."

Victims can use any ZIP utility to unlock the files with the password.

Ransom-like attacks, labeled "ransomware," are rare. The last full-fledged attack was in May 2005 when another security company, California-based Websense, spotted a Trojan that demanded $200 for a decryption key.

Other, and more common, forms of ransomware-style attacks are used by bogus spyware vendors, who claim that users' PCs harbor massive amounts of adware and spyware, and try to sell their phony products to spooked consumers.

Amazing facts about bananas


Many persons, especially young people, are unaware of the benefits of indulging in this protein, carbohydrate, potassium and phosphorus-filled fruit. Did you know that bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose, which when eaten, gives instant boosts of energy?

Yes, bananas have the potential to provide enough energy for strenuous activities, like studying or playing sports. However, they also help to control and fight off a large number of illnesses and diseases. So, let us add a few fingers of ripe bananas to our daily diet.

Amazing and Interesting facts about Banana

(1) Bananas contain vitamin B6 that controls the level of glucose in your blood, which eventually impacts upon one's mood. So females, eating bananas can aid with those mood swings and other PMS emotions. Thank God for bananas!

(2) Bananas contain iron which stimulates the production of haemoglobin in the blood thus helping anaemic patients.

(3) Bananas help to "free-up" bowel action because they are high in fibre. Forget those costly laxatives and say bye-bye to that overbearing constipation.

(4) Bananas are perfect for mosquito bites! Can you believe it? Instead of going out of your way to purchase insect bite creams, you could try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Yes, they do aid in reducing swelling and irritation.

(5) Eat at least one banana a day, they are said to contain everything humans need and they contain all the 8 amino acids our body cannot produce itself.

mobile phone and gas pump fumes - put your cell phone off while fueling

PUT YOUR CELL PHONE OFF WHILE FUELING

The Shell Oil Company recently issued a warning

after three incidents in which mobile phones (cell > phones) ignited fumes during fueling operations.

In the first case, the phone was placed on the car's trunk lid during fueling; it rang and the > ensuing fire destroyed the car and the gasoline pump.

In the second, an individual suffered severe burns to their face when fumes ignited as they answered a call while refueling their car.

And in the third, an individual suffered burns to > the thigh and groin as fumes ignited when the phone, which was in their pocket, rang while they were fueling their car.

You should know that: Mobile Phones can ignite fuel or fumes

Mobile phones that light up when switched on or when they ring release enough energy to provide a spark for ignition Mobile phones should not be used in filling stations, or when fueling lawn mowers, boat! , Etc.

Mobile phones should not be used, or should be turned off, around other materials that generate flammable or explosive fumes or dust, (i.e. solvents, chemicals, gases, grain dust, etc.)

To sum it up, here are the: Four Rules for Safe Refueling

1) Turn off engine
2) Don't smoke
3 ) Don't use your cell phone - leave it inside the vehicle or turn it off
4) Don't re-enter your vehicle during fueling

Bob Renkes of Petroleum Equipment Institute is working on a campaign to try and make people aware of fires as a result of"static electricity" at gas pumps. His company has researched 150 cases of these fires.

His results were very surprising: >
1) Out of 150 cases, almost all of them were > women.
2) Almost all cases involved the person getting back in their vehicle while the nozzle was still pumping gas. When finished, they went back to pull the nozzle out and the fire started, as a result of static.
3) Most had on rubber-soled shoes.
4) Most men never get back in their vehicle until completely finished. This is why they are seldom involved in these types of fires.
5) Don't ever use cell phones when pumping gas
6) It is the vapors that come out of the gas that cause the fire, when connected with static charges.
7) There were 29 fires where the vehicle was re-entered and the nozzle was touched during refueling from a variety of makes and models. Some resulted in extensive damage to the vehicle, to the > station, and to the customer.
8) Seventeen fires occurred before, during or immediately after the gas cap was removed and before fueling began.

Mr. Renkes stresses to NEVER get back into your vehicle while filling it with gas. If you absolutely HAVE to get in your vehicle while the gas is pumping, make sure you get out, close the door TOUCHING THE METAL, before you ever pull the nozzle out. This way the static from your body will be discharged before you ever remove the nozzle.

As I mentioned earlier, The Petroleum Equipment Institute, along with several other companies now, are really trying to make the public aware of this danger. You can find out more information by going to http://www.pei.org/ . Once here, click in the center of the screen where it says "Stop Static".

I ask you to please send this information to ALL your family and friends, especially those who have kids in the car with them while pumping gas. If this were to happen to them, they may not be able to get the children out in time.

Please pass this message through this blogs.

amazing historical facts of america

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause: Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading

million to one odds - amazing true story

When Kylie Hodgson gave birth to twin daughters by caesarean section, she was just relieved that they had arrived safely. It was only when the midwife handed them over for her to hold that she noticed the difference between them.

Remee, who weighed 5lb 15oz, was blonde and fair skinned. Her sister Kian, born a minute later weighing 6lb, was black.

"It was a shock when I realised that my twins were two different colours," said Kylie, 19. "But it doesn't matter to us - they are just our two gorgeous little girls."

The amazing conception happened after two eggs were fertilised at the same time in the womb.

Both Kylie and her partner Remi Horder, 17, are of mixed race. Their mothers are both white and their fathers are black.

According to the Multiple Births Foundation, baby Kian must have inherited the black genes from both sides of the family, whilst Remee inherited the white ones.

Kylie, from Nottingham, discovered she was pregnant in the summer of 2004 and a scan at the Queen's Medical Centre revealed that twins were on the way.

"It was a shock at first to discover I was expecting as we hadn't been trying for a family," she said I had my 14-week scan and the sonographer ran the scanner over my stomach and announced that I was carrying twins.

"We couldn't believe it. Neither of us could take our eyes off the scanner - you could just see two of everything, even the outline of their little noses. We were both overwhelmed."

The twins were born by caesarean in April last year because one of the girls was lying in an awkward position in the womb.

"I didn't see them at first," added their mother. "They were both whisked away to be checked over and then the midwife came back and placed them both in my arms.

"I noticed that both of them had beautiful blue eyes, but whilst Remee was blonde, Kian's hair was black and she had darker skin.

"It seemed strange, but I was feeling so ill that I didn't really take it in at that stage."

The next day she mentioned the colour difference to her mother, who told her that Remee's skin would darken as she grew older.

But as the weeks passed, Remee became lighter still while Kian went darker. And while Remee's eyes stayed blue, Kian's turned brown.

"There are some similarities between them," said their mother. "They both love apples and grapes, and their favourite television programme is Teletubbies.

"If they haven't seen each other for a few hours, they are so pleased to see each other and will hold out their arms, wanting to hug each other. And their smiles just light up their faces.

"I'll explain it all to them when they get older about why they look so different."

Million to one odds

The odds against of a mixed race couple having twins of dramatically different colour are a million to one.

Skin colour is believed to be determined by up to seven different genes working together.

If a woman is of mixed race, her eggs will usually contain a mixture of genes coding for both black and white skin.

Similarly, a man of mixed race will have a variety of different genes in his sperm. When these eggs and sperm come together, they will create a baby of mixed race.

But, very occasionally, the egg or sperm might contain genes coding for one skin colour. If both the egg and sperm contain all white genes, the baby will be white. And if both contain just the versions necessary for black skin, the baby will be black.

For a mixed-race couple, the odds of either of these scenarios is around 100 to one. But both scenarios can occur at the same time if the woman conceives non-identical twins, another 100 to one chance.

This involves two eggs being fertilised by two sperm at the same time, which also has odds of around 100 to one. If a sperm containing all-white genes fuses with a similar egg and a sperm coding for purely black skin fuses with a similar egg, two babies of dramatically different colours will be born.

The odds of this happening are 100 x 100 x 100 - a million to one.

To handle others, use your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;

Take off all your envies,
jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.

Live every moment !

To meet n depart is d way of life.
Bt to depart n meet is d hope of life.
V meet 2 create memories.
Bt v depart to preserve it n that's life...

the value of a smile - amazing poem

A smile cost nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive,
without making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment,
but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it,
and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in business,
and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours,
as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

Don't copy if you can't paste - Amazing Morality Story

Not too long ago, a large seminar was held for ministers and reverends in training. Among the facilitators were many well-known motivational speakers. One such speaker boldly approached the pulpit and, gathering the entire crowd's attention, said, "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife!"

The crowd was shocked! He followed up by saying, "That woman was my mother!" The crowd burst into laughter and he gave his speech, which was well received.

About a week later, one of the ministers who had attended the seminar decided to use that joke in his sermon. As he shyly approached the pulpit one sunny Sunday, he tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It was a bit foggy to him.

Getting to the microphone he said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!"

His congregation sat shocked, murmuring.

After standing there for almost 10 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the pastor finally blurted out "...and I can't remember who she was!"

Moral of the story: Don't copy if you can't paste.
