Sand drawing
“I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there’s surely no bigger compliment.”
A bit of toilet humour …
Three old men are talking about their aches, pains and bodily functions.
One seventy year old man says, “I have this problem. I wake up every morning at seven and it takes me twenty minutes to pee.”
An eighty year old man says, “My case is worse. I get up at eight and I sit there and grunt and groan for half an hour before I finally have a bowel movement.”
The ninety year old man says, “At seven I pee like a horse, at eight I crap like a cow.”
“So what’s your problem?” asked the others. “You sound very lucky.”
“Lucky? What do you mean lucky … I don’t wake up until nine.”

Two sides of the story
HER SIDE OF THE STORY:
He was in an odd mood when I got to the bar, I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit late but he didn’t say anything much about it. I don’t remember doing anything to make him upset, but could tell there was something wrong.
The conversation was quite slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately. We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I was getting really worried, what did I do? What was bothering him? Was he mad at me? I tried to cheer him up, but started to wonder what was bothering him. Was it me or something else? I asked him if he was upset with me, and he said no. But I wasn’t really sure. So anyway, in the cab on the way back to his house, I said that I love him, and he just put his arm around me I didn’t know what the hell that meant because, you know, he doesn’t say it back or anything.
We finally got back to his place and I was wondering if he was going to break up with me Why didn’t he want to talk about this? So I tried to ask him about it, but he just switched on the TV. Why would he rather watch TV than talk to me?
Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to sleep, hoping he would get the hint that I was upset and wanted to talk. I was so hurt that he was out there watching TV while I was in here going through emotional turmoil.
Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and we had sex. I thought that maybe he would open up after we shared an intimate experience like that, but he still seemed really distracted. So afterwards I just wanted to leave because I was so upset, but I just cried myself to sleep. He didn’t even notice how upset I was I don’t know, I just don’t know what he thinks anymore. I don’t know what to feel anymore. I’m on emotional overload. I’m so confused. I don’t think he loves me anymore. Why does he have to play mind games with me? I mean, do you think he’s met someone else?
HIS SIDE OF THE STORY:

ZigBee
ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols used to create personal area networks built from small, low-power digital radios. ZigBee is based on an IEEE 802 standard. Though low-powered, ZigBee devices often transmit data over longer distances by passing data through intermediate devices to reach more distant ones, creating a mesh network; i.e., a network with no centralized control or high-power transmitter/receiver able to reach all of the networked devices. The decentralized nature of such wireless ad-hoc networks make them suitable for applications where a central node can’t be relied upon.

The Secret Science Behind Big Data And Word Of Mouth
There’s a science behind word of mouth. It’s not random and it’s not luck why people talk about some things rather than others. Just like behavioral economists have studied why people make certain choices, or statisticians have pulled out insights about human behavior from “Big Data,” researchers have been hard at work analyzing the human behavior behind our decisions to talk and share.
