GLASS FIBER SUBTITUTES ASBESTOS

deasy-world
World in my mind - Nowadays Glass Fiber or more commonly Fiberglass subtitutes Asbestos for better improvement in choosing materials. Fiberglass has increased in popularity since the discovery that asbestos  causes cancer and its subsequent removal from most products. However, the safety of fiberglass is also being called into question, as research shows that the composition of this material (asbestos and fiberglass are both silicate fibers) causes similar toxicity as asbestos.

Uses for regular fiberglass include mats, thermal insulation, electrical insulation, sound insulation, reinforcement of various materials, tent poles, sound absorption, heat- and corrosion-resistant fabrics, high-strength fabrics, pole vault poles, arrows, bows and crossbows, translucent roofing panels, automobile bodies, hockey sticks, surfboards, boat hulls, and paper honeycomb. It has been used for medical purposes in casts. Fiberglass is extensively used for making FRP tanks and vessels. Fiberglass is also used in the design of Irish stepdance shoes.

BB PLAYBOOK TREND

world in my mind
It's now turn for BB Playbook Trend.. what is that mean? Manufacturer BlackBerry (BB) Research In Motion (RIM), Canada, finally announced a new device in the form of homemade tablet computer, on Monday (9/27/2010) in the event the RIM Developer Conference in San Francisco. If the previously rumored to BlackPad name, this new tablet was given the name of the BlackBerry Playbook.

Tablet Playbook sail 7 inches, smaller than iPad Apple's operating system QNX Software Systems is acquired RIM in the early years. Unlike iPad that has no camera, Playbook has two cameras in front and behind. This device will be released in April 2011. However, RIM has not revealed the price, stating only be sold with a price range that competes with the iPad.

There was no cellular connection on the device, but there is WiFi to access the Internet. Although not able to call, this tablet can be connected wirelessly via BlackBerry devices via a WiFi connection as a second screen that is wider so that the User can see its activity when you call. WiFi can also be used to access mobile services via BlackBerry.

RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie stated the device was designed as a standalone product to provide web access experience perfectly. RIM does not apply the approach to applications to access various web-based services including Flash with this Playbook device. "It means that the device will not depend on third-party applications or app," said Balsillie. Playbook is designed as a consumer device that will be sold in retail. RIM would have positioned the product as a tool for the enterprise to business needs. (From various sources)

BEHIND MARK ZUCKERBERG

behind mark zuckerberg
World in my mind - Behind Mark Zukerberg.. What's on your mind when you think about Mark Zuckerberg?

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is an American entrepreneur who co-founded the social networking site Facebook. Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook with fellow classmates Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, and Chris
Hughes while attending Harvard. He is a billionaire due to his 24% share of Facebook.

Zuckerberg "clearly thinks of himself as a hacker" and says hacking isn't about "breaking and entering," it's about "being unafraid to break things in order to make them better." Facebook conducts "hackathons" every six to eight weeks in which participants have one night to conceive of and complete a project. The company provides music, food, and beer at the hackathons, and many Facebook staff members, including Zuckerberg, regularly attend. "The idea is that you can build something really good in a night,” Zuckerberg told Wired. "And that’s part of the personality of Facebook now ... It’s definitely very core to my personality."

That's just a little about Mark Zuckerberg, one thing that I'm never forget.. Thanks Mark Zuckerberg, and I wanna Thanks to Facebook! Thanks for being here, stopping by and left your lovely care comment in World in My Mind. Let's spreading Love and respect to the world, build a world together in differences.

LOVE POEM

deasy-world
Actually this is not about death, not that..
Because, I know that everything would be gone in the end
and death is something definite
and this time it is your turn to go, I really know it

But what struck me so great,
is the fact that death can actually decide happiness in oneself, in a moment, then it was able to make me miserable as hell, like my heart was in place, and my body felt empty, lost contents


You know darling, it feels like the wind that had suddenly gone dry and change

At this time the tears that fall, I insert a long farewell
on loyalty have you carving, on the bitter sweet memories for you there
I'm not going to complain, but it was too soon you're here
They thought I was a good lover for you dear
without them knowing it, that you're the one who made me a better lover

Sometimes my tend is ambiguous, but you taught me loyalty, so I'm loyal, you have taught me the meaning of love, so that I can love you like this.

Goodbye,
You are from Him, and returned to Him
you were gone for me, and now again gone
farewell dear
light of my eyes, my soul
Goodbye

Life must go zone..

ASBESTOS EFFECT

world in my mind
World in my mind - Asbestos ("asbestos") is a metamorphic mineral group fiber. The name comes from its use in the lamp wick; because it's refractory has been used in many applications.

However, inhalation of some kinds of asbestos fibers cause various diseases, including cancer, and therefore the most use of asbestos has been banned in many countries.


Fiberglass is a suitable substitute of asbestos for heat insulation and ceramic fiber weaving as good or better as an insulator of high-temperature electrical conductor.

Many building materials used in both public and domestic premises prior to the banning of asbestos may contain asbestos. Those performing renovation works or activities may expose themselves to asbestos dust. Let's more aware about Love and health care, and knowing what surround us can affect our health.

HEALING A BROKEN HEART

world in my mindWhen it comes to healing a broken heart from love the number one thing you have to keep in mind is that it will take time. I know this is the last thing you want to hear. No one wants to stay in pain any longer than they have to. While it will take time to move on and feel better, there are some things you can do to make things go a little easier.

Use these tips to get over it and move on: They will take effort .. lots of effort on your part... but putting that effort in will pay off.



1. First of all, don't sit back and wait for your hurt to heal, be proactive.


Take your life by the reigns, take control and make some changes.  What is it that you've been putting on the back burner?  A new job, vacation, a new look?  Whatever it is, do it. It will make you feel like a new person, which will help you move on a little more quickly.


2. Only allow yourself a limited amount of 'wallowing' time.

Sure, most people will mope around for a few days, or even a week, but that's it.  Don't hide from the world.  You may not be ready to start dating, and you probably shouldn't, but that doesn't mean you can't hang out with your friends and just start moving on with your life, even if it's only baby steps.


3. While you don't want to wallow in a sea of 'what if's' (see step 2) it is a good idea to spend some time trying to figure out what went wrong ... not so you can get your ex back, but so you can hopefully avoid making the same mistakes the next time around...and make no mistake, if you allow it, there will be a next time and another love. Thanks for your time , Love and respect for stopping here in World in My Mind

Bridal Tiaras - Are they in or out?


Tiaras have always been of a great fascination to brides and women everywhere.  They've stood the test of time and are still worn through the world today.  They continue to stand for grace, elegance, and sophistication.  Here's a little history of how tiaras got their bridal start...The first tiaras were no doubt made of objects found in nature, followed by the discovery of gold, and so on.  By the 19th century, tiaras were often given as wedding presents from the groom to the bride.  This marked not only the couple's love, "but also promised the high status and comforts that also followed it." 

What about the tiara now?  The past decade or so has "seen a resurgence of interest in the tiara, not only as a curiosity, but also as a fashion accessory."  We certainly see brides continuing to wear tiaras on the big wedding day, although they've been declining in popularity to their more subtle sister - the headband.


What's a bride who has her heart set on a tiara to do?  Follow your heart and get a headpiece with a subtle tiara feel.  Stay away from anything too pointy and you'll be just fine.  Our two favorites, the Les Beaux, $249 (top) and Printemps, $169 (above).  Or, if you want something with a contemporary feel, grab a piece that's full of big stones and high on glamour like the Rivini, $209 (below).

A LOVE LETTER

world in my mind
World in my mind - A love Letter - You want to tell your partner how you feel about them but you end up staring at a blank screen for so long you give up.  Or you try a few lines only to delete them all and start over.  Again.

Why is it so hard to tell the loved one in our life exactly what they mean to us?  Do you struggle to find the words to properly convey how you feel?  Or is it that
you just can't explain it?  Don't let words get in the way of telling your loved one how much they mean to you.

Everyone wants to be loved.  When you are busy living life, there never seems time to slow down and really savour that central relationship that makes it all worthwhile.  Oftentimes we think that those closest to us know exactly how we feel about them and how important they are to us.  But the sad reality is that often they don't. It can be a Dream act.. Take action and show your Love!

So how can you write a love letter that you will feel proud to give and one that your loved one will cherish for all time?  Where do you start?  Follow these easy tips below and you'll be on your way in no time.

1.    First write down 5 things that you love about your partner and be as specific as possible.  Rather than writing that they are kind, instead be detailed about how they are kind.  Perhaps they always smile at waiters in restaurants or they are great at making people feel included, especially at parties. 

2.    Write down 5 things that they have done that confirms how much you love them and again, give examples.  Perhaps they enveloped you in a hug last night when you were feeling frustrated about your family.  Or maybe they knew how disappointed you were when you missed out on that promotion and they cooked a special meal to cheer you up. 

3.    Pick the best three examples from each of the above categories and weave them into your letter.  You could start by saying ‘I love how you…' and then include the three examples from the first point.  Then you could say something like ‘I loved the way you…' and then mention the other examples.  Make sure you emphasise how their actions made you feel, how loved you felt and how grateful you are to have them in your life.

4.    It is best to write up a draft first and then go over it to see if you can improve it. Sometimes it helps to write up what you want to say, edit it until it flows well and then leave it for a day or two before going back for a final edit and polish. 

5.    Buy some special paper and write out your letter.  Don't worry if your handwriting isn't perfect – it's distinctly yours and your loved one will appreciate the time and effort you put into the letter.  If you feel your writing is so bad it will be difficult to read or if your illegible handwriting is something you've argued about before then pay to get it hand written by a professional.  At a stretch you could use a more romantic font on your computer, say Garamond in italic, but you should really only do that as a last resort.   The more personal you can make your letter the more your loved one will treasure it.

6.    Think about how you plan on delivering this letter to them.  Will you slip it in their briefcase?  Mail it?  Leave it under the pillow?  Do you want to be there when they open it?  If you want to see their reaction, then it is best to hand it to them.  You could team the letter up with a small gift like flowers or chocolate but make sure the gift doesn't diminish the letter as you want that to be the main focus.

I think it's not too old for "a Love Letter". It's a Dream act to show your Love and respect for someone special. Thanks for being here stopping by in World in My Mind

WHAT DO WOMEN WANT IN A MAN

world in my mind
Welcome to World in my Mind, Let's share thoughts together, and spreading the spirit of soul, passion, love and respect in our life to others, to the universe that surround us..

Topics of today is What do women really want in a man? It's like waiting for Superman..hmmm I don't think so. The answer is a complete package, which includes the traits and qualities listed below:

Ambitious/Strong/Assertive
An ambitious man is a successful man because he strives for the best, no matter what his goals are. Strength does not necessitate muscles but inner strength. He is able to reach inside, draw from that strength when it is needed and share it if the need arises. He goes after what he wants without stepping on feet or toes but maneuvers around them.

Responsible
He knows his responsibilities and owns up to them, whether it is family, work, and commitments. A man recognizes that mistakes are a part of life. He admits to them, doesn't blame others or make excuses for his inconsistencies. He learns from them and acts accordingly.

Understanding
Recognizes that no one is perfect, including himself. Encourages communication efforts to resolve important issues. Realizes the final say does not have to go one way (especially his way) or another, but knows that a compromise is always a possibility.

In Tune With Himself
He has self-awareness spiritually and mentally. He loves self, takes care of himself but is able to love others as well. He can hold a decent conversation with anyone and he knows how to express himself in any given conversation. He is respected by others and recognizes that in order to get respect, you have to give it. He can accept constructive criticism without taking it personally and recognizes that opinion is individual and each is entitled to his or hers.

Compassion
He is unselfish and caring of others around him. He is neither self-centered nor egotistical. He thinks of others, and the feelings of others. Men are told from day one that men are not suppose to cry because it is a display weakness. Crying makes them human, and it has nothing to do with strength. It has to do with feeling. The lack of fear in showing true feelings constitutes strength and courage.

Relationships and Love
* He is caring giving, honest, loyal and respects the lady in his life
* He is willing to work things out together
* He respects his mate as his other half
* He knows that sharing is essential, good bad whatever
* The word commitment is not taken lightly and he doesn't make one unless he is sure that is what he wants to do. He will be the first to admit it.
* The woman in his life is there to support and encourage. He appreciates it and shows it
* He works with her, for her, towards common goals no matter what they are

Women love compliments, doors opened and chairs pulled out for us. A little pampering does a body good. For example: a little shoulder massage after a tiring day at work is comforting.

A man recognizes that chivalry is not dead. He is a gentleman. He does not take for granted he is loved. He expresses it and let his woman know that he loves her as well. Love is appreciated and not taken lightly. The work needed to maintain a relationship is done willingly and cooperatively

Each woman's definition of a man encompasses many different qualities, and each woman has her own standards..It's not just like waiting for Superman in life. Certainly my list is not a listing of the only qualities of manhood, but it is definitely a start.

Some might feel it is unrealistic to expect to have a man that is worthy of such admiration and respect, and provides such devotion. I say that there is no perfection in anyone, but for someone to be human, loving, caring is very close.

To all the solid, loving, honorable and hardworking men out there, I salute you! Thanks for being here and catch up with me in Word in My Mind. See you next post!

GO GREEN LOVE SPIRIT

world in my mind
World in my mind - Many of us want to be responsible citizens of the Earth. We think about the effects our lifestyles have on the environment. We are concerned about global warming. We want to ensure our children's future on this planet is one that still has clean air to breathe, an abundance of trees and wildlife, and clean water to drink. However, many of us also think that the sacrifices might be too great to "go green" in our own office. Good news. It's not as difficult as you think. Spread your Love and respect to the Earth.


There are 3 areas where you can make a significant impact without significant expense or inconvenience: paper, lights, and electronics.

Paper manufacturing contributes to the deforestation of the planet and it is responsible for 35 million tons of CO2 a year. So what can you do? Buy recycled paper. Make full use of that paper by printing on both sides and/or using paper that is only printed on one side for scratch paper. Do your proofreading and edits on your computer before printing to reduce the number of prints you make. Re-use file folders by placing new labels over the old ones. All of these changes are easy to make but have a big impact. Pretty painless, right? Let's show what can we do in action to Love and respect the Earth.

Another way you can go green in your office is as easy as changing a light bulb. In fact, it is changing a light bulb. Incandescent bulbs use 4 times more energy than is necessary to produce light. Once you have made the switch to energy efficient bulbs, make sure lights are turned off when they are not needed. A great way to ensure that this happens is with motion sensors that will turn the lights off when everyone has left the room.

A major drain on our electricity is all of our office equipment such as computers, copiers, printers, and fax machines. When going green with your electronics, you need to look at 3 factors. You need to consider the waste that is created in the manufacturing of the products, the effects on the environment when you use the products, and the waste that is created when you are done with the products. That may seem like a lot to think about but if you follow these simple guidelines, you will be able to minimize the negative impact your office equipment has on the environment.

When buying any new office equipment, look for Energy Star certified machines. This will make a huge difference in the amount of electricity that is used to run your office. For example, an Energy Star certified computer is going to be 52% more efficient than a standard one. Laptops also use a lot less energy than desktops, so consider whether this is a viable option for your office. Energy efficient machines are also going to have stand by options that will power down or go into sleep mode to conserve energy when not in use. Once the office is closing for the day, make sure that all equipment is powered off.

Taking these steps will get you on your way to going green in your office. And as I promised, they will help you make a significant impact without significant cost or inconvenience to you and your employees. And you thought going green was going to be hard. Let's Love the Earth! starts from ourself, starts from a little things. It's Go Green Love Spirit. It's World in my mind.

FENG SHUI LOVE TIPS

Feng Shui love tips
Life is not a bed of roses and the same can be said about relationship. It would be unwise to expect the emotions between various individuals to remain at the same, steady level at all points of time and disagreements are bound to arise. In addition, when anger or jealousy raises its ugly head, then all love seems to fly out of the window. At times like this, we need a balancing effect to smooth out the ruffled feathers of the quarreling couple.


The ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui can help in creating perfect harmony in every personal relationship, besides other aspects of life like health, wealth and career. Feng Shui love tips if properly implemented can help to balance the yang (male) and yin (female) energies and bring the elements in perfect harmony with each other. 

Feng shui love principles can be applied for any situation, whether you are a single person waiting for love to enter your life, or even if you are already in a relationship with a partner and are looking for ways and means to enhance the bond. The south west area of our living space defines the personal relationship area and Feng shui love tips work towards enhancing that aspect of our lives. Colors like passionate red and pink in our bedroom or the southern area of the house help to bring the loved ones closer to each other. It is also advisable to keep a pair of mandarin ducks in the bedroom where the couple sleeps. It helps to bring about greater love and understanding among the partners.

If you want to attract love into your life you could try having peonies in your house. If the real flowers are not available, a photograph of the same will do equally well. However, peonies can cause infidelity in the case of married couple, so it is best avoided in that case. Hanging clear crystals in the south corner of the living room can also bring about harmony among the various members of the family. Certain precious and semi precious stones like pink quartz also have relationship enhancing qualities and they also look appealing when worn on the wrist as a charm. It can also be the ideal gift for your girlfriend when you want her to be in your life forever.

Simple things like the decor and furnishings of the house can also make a deep impression on your mindset and the related behavior. In order to promote harmony among family members, it is important that the furnishings in the living room and bedroom have round and soft edges rather than hard and pointed ones. Choose soft colors like soothing pink for your bedroom and light scented candles and incense sticks in the house to ensure the flow of chi (energy) smoothly among the many rooms. An important point to be considered while implementing any Feng Shui tip is that it should be done only under the guidance of an experienced professional. Keeping this in mind you can safely implement Feng Shui love tips to build harmonious and loving relationships in your .

FOR BETTER RELATIONSHIPS

world in my mind
This Articles sourced from Kevin Eikenberry. Personally, I really like this one and always make an improvement in my relationship. He wrote this piece several years ago. It is one of the essays in my book Vantagepoints on Learning and Life, and he share it today for three reasons:
  • He is on vacation, so he is trying to not work while on vacation.
  • He is in Michigan where he grew up (and where the story takes place).
  • He believes the message of the story and the metaphor shared is extremely valuable.

The sweetness of the ideas as you pick some blueberries . . .
My mother emailed me about an experience she had last week that reminded me of some of my experiences growing up, and I hope you can relate as well. I`ll let her tell you the first part of the story...

"It was a beautiful, early September day in Michigan. The temperature was balmy with a nice breeze. It is days like these that remind me why I love living here so much. My husband, John, and I drove to a "u-pick" blueberry patch a short distance from our home. We were told to pick from any bush and we quickly noticed that the berries were plentiful. It didn’t take long however to notice something very interesting. While there were plenty of berries on the outsides of the bushes, if you looked inside, the berries were bigger, even more bountiful and virtually untouched."

After recounting this story to me, Mom went on to say, "It occurred to me that it is the same with our relationships with others. How many times do we just look on the outside, or on the surface, and not really work at our relationships to know the `inner self` of others?"

Mom is right (of course, Mom`s are always right, aren`t they?). It`s a powerful lesson.
We fall in love with the berries on the bush`s exterior, but when we look inside we find "the inner beauty" of even better berries. So it is in our lives. When we focus only on the exterior or superficial, we miss the depth of others. It is only in that depth that we will truly know them, and ultimately, appreciate them.

If Mom had followed the lead of the other pickers in the row, and hadn`t looked to the interior, she would have been disappointed by her harvest, and wouldn’t have had as many berries to enjoy. Regardless of how many berries could be found outside, Mom and John picked the whole bush.

My mother, in reference to a running joke about her height, mentioned that she had to pick inside the bush, because she could not reach all of them on the outsides of the bushes. I know better. I know she picked inside for two reasons: she knew from experience there would be good berries there, and, two, she did it because as a good gardener, she knows that all the fruit needs to be harvested to help the plant thrive.

Reminds me that it is always important to follow and use our experience. When we have experience at something, it is important to use it! There is lesson for all of us in Mom’s second reason for picking the whole bush, inside and out. She values the plant itself and wants it to thrive. We know that when we get to know people at deeper levels they thrive (and so do we!). We all need attention and care and love, and without the proper care and environment, just like the berry bush, we won’t thrive.

Just like Mom in the blueberry patch, our lives are "U-Pick". You decide what kind of relationships you want to build. You decide how deep you want to look when trying to understand and relate to others. When we pick the right patches, we will find lots of great fruit, but the sweetest fruit will always be found when we look a little deeper. It takes a bit more effort and time, but you will be well-rewarded.

ALL ABOUT DATING

world in my mind
Dating is a form of courtship, and may include any social activity undertaken by, typically, two persons with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. The word refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity. Traditional dating activities include entertainment or a meal.

In many cultural traditions, a date may be arranged by a third party, who may be a family member, acquaintance, or professional matchmaker. Internet dating has become popular in recent times.

Although dating etiquette has become more relaxed during the twentieth and twenty first century, there are considerable differences between social and personal values. For example, when an activity costs money (for example, a meal), traditionally the man was expected to pay; but in recent times the practice of "going Dutch" (splitting the expenses) has become more common and more acceptable. With the wider availability of information about traditionally secretive issues individuals are more open about their interest in sexuality both in form of dating language and dress. The difference in expectation of a date in the male / female view of dating is quite marked and clearly shown by the public advice disseminated by popular media, e.g. magazines, which is in stark contrast. The average duration of courtship before proceeding to engagement or marriage varies considerably throughout the world.

  • You should not give your words, do not make promise; don’t use bad manners, uncivilized language as girls are always sweet and respectable. Even, if you don't like your date then don't be fast to give her a tough moment. As a human being she deserves to be treated with politeness and respect. So, Impoliteness and discourtesy is not allowed.

LOVE AND RESPECT PRINCIPLE

World in my mind
World in my mind - Maybe you've heard that a woman needs to be loved by her husband and a man needs to be respected by his wife. However, if you're like the average man or woman, you're thinking, "Sure, that all sounds great, but what does it mean?"


Men often define love differently than their wives, while women often don't know how to define respect. If both you and your spouse have these needs, but don't know what they are, how can you satisfy each other? Without a definition, it's like trying to throw a dart at a board but you don't know where to aim.

That's why we're here to help. Once you and your spouse understand what it means to love and respect, relational landmines can be avoided. The result can be greater love, deeper intimacy and movement toward the kind of marriage that God desires for you.

Thank you for being here in world in my mind, where you can express your love..! It's World in my mind.

NEED RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING

world in my mind
World in my mind - Everyone knows that having excellent relationship communication is vital to your relationship. In many forms of relationship counseling, relationship counselors will bring up relationship communication as part of relationship counseling.

Since statistics show that 60 percent of marriages end in divorce, one reason may be that many couples don't seek relationship counseling until it's too late. Most people who have tried relationship counseling believe it works, and couples who have split often say they wish they had tried relationship counseling first to help improve their relationship communication.
"Most people realize that getting rid of your partner does not get rid of the problem because half the problem is yours," says Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, author of Make Up, Don't Break Up (Adams Media Corporation, 1999). "You can walk out on your marriage, but you can't run away from yourself — no matter how hard you try," she says.
One of the biggest challenges for most couples is learning how to stop blaming each other so that they can work through the troubled times without the power struggles. Relationship counseling offers a safe haven for couples to express their needs and fears and effectively resolve anger and conflict.

"More relationships break up because people don't know how to validate each other," says Dr. Eaker Weil. But with the right counseling and a little practice, couples can learn the skills to save their relationships. It's World in my mind.

Why We Wear Pearls at Weddings



















Pearls are considered timeless, elegant, and a staple of the bride's attire.  Grandmothers often pass down pearls for their granddaughters to wear as they walk down the aisle. But why?  Pearls are one of the oldest jewels, often gifted to brides because of they symbolize purity and innocence.  They are also said to prevent crying.  How was the tradition started?  According to PearlOasis.com...
In the Rigveda, an ancient Hindu book dating back to 1000 B.C. Krishna, the preserver, brought forth pearls from the depths of the sea to give to his daughter on her wedding day. Thus started the tradition of giving pearls to the bride.
Pearls have been worn throughout history, immortalized in paintings and written memories.  Queens of England are some of the most popular subjects, from Anne Boleyn's pearl necklace with a dangling "B" to Queen Elizabeth II's strands of creamy pearls worn when she wed Prince Phillip.  Check out this fabulous post on pearls throughout history for more info.

The pearl's long association with royalty has given them an aura of good taste and sophistication.  Bride's now often opt for a pearl and crystal combination to give them the best of both worlds.  We love the look of pearls whether draped along the neck, worn on the ears, pinned into the hair, or even on shoe clips, brooches, and clutches.
