SocialSpark Started a Fire

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I looked here and there in order to find some reasonable way to earn online. I found this blog that talked about how easy and rewarding it is to join SocialSpark. I decided to checkout SocialSpark and see if the bloggers claim is really true. After a couple of minutes I was convinced and SocialSpark started a fire of hope in me.

Signing was really simple and easy. However I got a little confuse when it comes to claiming my blog. Thanks to the complete instructions SocialSpark help provided I was able to figure it out, fast. The steps are claiming your blog which entails adding a code to verify ownership of the blog, completing profile which is filling up personal information; make money would be possible after the first 2 steps are completed. The first 2 process merely took 15 minutes.

After the initial registration, I went in and check around some more. I was surprise to find that there is a writing opportunity open to new members which is great. It’s telling me that it will not be hard to earn money here since new comers are given a chance to earn onset after joining. I also learned why they call themselves SocialSpark because there are ways to connect to your fellow bloggers and our role would be to start a spark and spread the fire.

THE SCENT OF A WOMAN'S VAGINA

Honestly, I saw this one coming but I didn't expect it this year 2010. I mean maybe 2020.. Oh well.




Oh great, some German company have gone and designed an aroma, based on vaginas, for men. Vulva Original offers “the genuine scent of a woman” via an easy-to-use roll on applicator and will presumably attract rapists and dogs. We spoke to company head, Guido Lenssen.

INTERVIEW

VICE: Why on earth did you create a scent from a woman’s bits?

Guido Lenssen: The sense of smell as a human being is important and very underrated. When you’re in restaurant, you always ask how does the food taste, but you never discuss the smell. When I am with my wife, I prefer her natural body smell to other smells like perfume. The intimacy of her scent is important. In the erotic market I realised you can buy billions of sex toys but they’re all about touching or seeing or hearing. I wanted to address this sense of smell on the market.

Hmm. So what were the main obstacles in developing your very own fanny odour?
The most difficult thing was finding preservatives to add the scent as it only lasts around half a day without them. We had to find ingredients that made the product live longer but didn’t change the scent. We tried many ingredients from around the world and eventually found a combination that works.
Can you tell us what’s in the mix?
No. It’s our secret.

Can you confirm that there’s real vagina in there?
Almost everything on the sex market is based on fantasy. The toys are plastic, the movies use actors. Vulva is real. We tried several samples from women of all ages. We didn’t take the scent after someone had run a marathon or anything, but it is a combination of urine, sweat, and female arousal.

Urine? Lovely. How do you transfer the scent from lady to lab?
That’s also a secret. I can tell you we don’t get it from any masturbating techniques, or squirting into jars. I sometimes tell people that we got many women to sit on horse riding saddles for ten hours a day and took samples. But that’s not true.

You use a range of women or just one?

One. She’s the blonde woman on our website. Of course, we wanted to take the scent from a woman that looks nice, but we tried with a variety of women as it was ultimately smell based, not about looks. We took a year and a half to get it right.
How do we know that the scent comes from this beautiful woman and not a septuagenarian hunchback from Swindon?
Well there has to be an element of trust. I think when you smell it you will know it comes from a young woman.

How does one apply Vulva? Presumably you don’t splash it all over your neck before a night out.

You use it to enhance a situation, for example, maybe watching TV or a DVD, or with your partner. You can apply it to the back of the hand and use the aroma to add another dimension.
Will there be more Vulva products?
We see Vulva Original as being like the first dildo. There are many sizes of dildo available today and we will have many smells available. There is already development going on with Vulva 18 and Vulva Exotic, as well as a very aroused scent for the bad boys.

Don’t some people find it offensive?

Well my former website designer quit his job because he found it a disgusting, perverted, pornographic sort of thing. Maybe if it finds its way to the marketplace in Iraq or Dubai there will be a man with a sword waiting to chop off my head. But most people love it and are not offended.

And they're not stopping with just one smelly vagina fragrance. Guido and co are already developing a range of scents based on the vajayjay.

What's next, a penis perfume???

10 Amazing Life Lessons You Can Learn From Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein has long been considered a genius by the masses. He was a theoretical physicist, philosopher, author, and is perhaps the most influential scientists to ever live.

Einstein has made great contributions to the scientific world, including the theory of relativity, the founding of relativistic cosmology, the prediction of the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, and the quantum theory of a monatomic gas which predicted Bose–Einstein condensation, to name a few of his scientific contributions.

Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.”

He’s published more than 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works. Einstein is considered the father of modern physics and is probably the most successful scientist there ever was.

10 Amazing Lessons from Albert Einstein:

Follow Your Curiosity

“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”

What piques your curiosity? I am curious as to what causes one person to succeed while another person fails; this is why I’ve spent years studying success. What are you most curious about? The pursuit of your curiosity is the secret to your success.

Perseverance is Priceless

“It's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer.”

Through perseverance the turtle reached the ark. Are you willing to persevere until you get to your intended destination? They say the entire value of the postage stamp consist in its ability to stick to something until it gets there. Be like the postage stamp; finish the race that you’ve started!

Focus on the Present

“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”

My father always says you cannot ride two horses at the same time. I like to say, you can do anything, but not everything. Learn to be present where you are; give your all to whatever you’re currently doing.

Focused energy is power, and it’s the difference between success and failure.

The Imagination is Powerful

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Are you using your imagination daily? Einstein said the imagination is more important than knowledge! Your imagination pre-plays your future. Einstein went on to say, “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.” Are you exercising your “imagination muscles” daily, don’t let something as powerful as your imagination lie dormant.

Make Mistakes

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

Never be afraid of making a mistake. A mistake is not a failure. Mistakes can make you better, smarter and faster, if you utilize them properly. Discover the power of making mistakes. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, if you want to succeed, triple the amount of mistakes that you make.

Live in the Moment

“I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.”

The only way to properly address your future is to be as present as possible “in the present.”

You cannot “presently” change yesterday or tomorrow, so it’s of supreme importance that you dedicate all of your efforts to “right now.” It’s the only time that matters, it’s the only time there is.

Create Value

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."

Don’t waste your time trying to be successful, spend your time creating value. If you’re valuable, then you will attract success.

Discover the talents and gifts that you possess, learn how to offer those talents and gifts in a way that most benefits others.

Labor to be valuable and success will chase you down.

Don’t Expect Different Results

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

You can’t keep doing the same thing everyday and expect different results. In other words, you can’t keep doing the same workout routine and expect to look differently. In order for your life to change, you must change, to the degree that you change your actions and your thinking is to the degree that your life will change.

Knowledge Comes From Experience

“Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”

Knowledge comes from experience. You can discuss a task, but discussion will only give you a philosophical understanding of it; you must experience the task first hand to “know it.” What’s the lesson? Get experience! Don’t spend your time hiding behind speculative information, go out there and do it, and you will have gained priceless knowledge.

Learn the Rules and Then Play Better

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

To put it all in simple terms, there are two things that you must do. The first thing you must do is to learn the rules of the game that you’re playing. It doesn’t sound exciting, but it’s vital. Secondly, you must commit to play the game better than anyone else. If you can do these two things, success will be yours!

Healthy Rainbow Foods

To live your life to the fullest, you need to be

Most of us know that to stay healthy, we should eat five portions of fruit and vegetables every day – and there are lots of good reasons why we should follow this advice.

Most are low in calories and fat, making them a great choice for including as part of a reduced-calorie diet to help us lose weight. They’re packed with fibre, which helps to fill us up and prevents or eases conditions such as constipation. And they’re a great source of vitamins and minerals.

But fruit and veg also contain naturally-occurring plant chemicals called phytochemicals that when eaten in good amounts, have been found to protect us from a range of health problems including cancer, heart disease, eye problems and urinary tract infections. These phytochemicals – of which there are hundreds – act as antioxidants and so mop up potentially harmful molecules called free radicals before they get a chance to damage cells, which in turn can lead to diseases.

Eating plenty of foods rich in phytochemicals is therefore a good idea if we want to stay fit and healthy. And the easiest way to ensure a good mix of phytochemicals is to eat a variety of different coloured fruits and vegetables that typically match the colours of the rainbow! So whilst it’s important to ‘eat your greens’, it’s just as important to eat your reds, oranges, yellows, blues and purples, too.

Analysis Paralysis

The common disease that gets in the way of one’s success…

Commonly plagues wanna-be entrepreneurs…

Commonly plagues highly smart people…

Commonly plagues individuals who cover their fear with too much analytical questions…

The cure – - COMMITTED ACTION

Nobody can analyze anything fully. Everything has its uncertainties and risks. The question now is – are your aversions to these risks more powerful than your dreams? Your commitments?

Beware of the Analysis Paralysis syndrome.

As an entrepreneur I have encountered lots of people with such a disease. They will tell you all about their dreams and how bad they wanna achieve them. Yet, when they realize what they need to do in order for them to reach their dreams, they suddenly have lots of reasons – they’re not ready, they are too busy at work, they still need to think about it, ask their spouse or parents about it, etc. One more thing, people with this disease love asking their friends for opinion on a decision that these friends hasn’t made themselves. They want to be wealthy yet they ask advice from people who are not wealthy. What advice do you think these people will give?

Photo winner Plus Man vs. Ant Face-Off

An amazing image of an ant lifting 100 times its body weight has won first prize in a science photography contest.
The image shows an Asian weaver ant hanging upside down on a glass-like surface and holding a 500mg (0.02oz) weight in its jaws.
It was taken by zoology specialist Dr Thomas Endlein of Cambridge University as he researched insects' sticky feet.
Dr Endlein won £700 in photographic vouchers from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

The research shows how ants change the size and shape of the pads on their feet to enable them to carry heavier loads.
He hopes it could help scientists develop better glues.
"The pads on ants' feet are self-cleaning and can stick to almost any type of surface," he said.

"No man-made glue or adhesive system can match this. Understanding how animals can control their adhesive systems should help us come up with clever adhesives in the future."

We can top that...


The humanities answer to the ants amazing weightlifting feat is:

Is this the answer to alarming rise of HIV in call centers?

Man appears free of HIV after stem cell transplant

A 42-year-old HIV patient with leukemia appears to have no detectable HIV in his blood and no symptoms after a stem cell transplant from a donor carrying a gene mutation that confers natural resistance to the virus that causes AIDS, according to a report published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.


The patient underwent a stem cell transplant and since, has not tested positive for HIV in his blood.

"The patient is fine," said Dr. Gero Hutter of Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin in Germany. "Today, two years after his transplantation, he is still without any signs of HIV disease and without antiretroviral medication."

The case was first reported in November, and the new report is the first official publication of the case in a medical journal. Hutter and a team of medical professionals performed the stem cell transplant on the patient, an American living in Germany, to treat the man's leukemia, not the HIV itself.

However, the team deliberately chose a compatible donor who has a naturally occurring gene mutation that confers resistance to HIV. The mutation cripples a receptor known as CCR5, which is normally found on the surface of T cells, the type of immune system cells attacked by HIV.

The mutation is known as CCR5 delta32 and is found in 1 percent to 3 percent of white populations of European descent.

HIV uses the CCR5 as a co-receptor (in addition to CD4 receptors) to latch on to and ultimately destroy immune system cells. Since the virus can't gain a foothold on cells that lack CCR5, people who have the mutation have natural protection. (There are other, less common HIV strains that use different co-receptors.)

People who inherit one copy of CCR5 delta32 take longer to get sick or develop AIDS if infected with HIV. People with two copies (one from each parent) may not become infected at all. The stem cell donor had two copies.

Don't Miss
Paging Dr. Gupta Not the cure for AIDS
Medicine man says he can cure AIDS
While promising, the treatment is unlikely to help the vast majority of people infected with HIV, said Dr. Jay Levy, a professor at the University of California San Francisco, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study. A stem cell transplant is too extreme and too dangerous to be used as a routine treatment, he said.

"About a third of the people die [during such transplants], so it's just too much of a risk," Levy said. To perform a stem cell transplant, doctors intentionally destroy a patient's immune system, leaving the patient vulnerable to infection, and then reintroduce a donor's stem cells (which are from either bone marrow or blood) in an effort to establish a new, healthy immune system.

Levy also said it's unlikely that the transplant truly cured the patient in this study. HIV can infect many other types of cells and may be hiding out in the patient's body to resurface at a later time, he said.

"This type of virus can infect macrophages (another type of white blood cell that expresses CCR5) and other cells, like the brain cells, and it could live a lifetime. But if it can't spread, you never see it-- but it's there and it could do some damage," he said. "It's not the kind of approach that you could say, 'I've cured you.' I've eliminated the virus from your body." Health.com: 10 questions to ask a new partner before having sex

Before undergoing the transplant, the patient was also found to be infected with low levels of a type of HIV known as X4, which does not use the CCR5 receptor to infect cells. So it would seem that this virus would still be able to grow and damage immune cells in his body. However, following the transplant, signs of leukemia and HIV were absent.

"There is no really conclusive explanation why we didn't observe any rebound of HIV," Hutter said. "This finding is very surprising."

Hutter noted that one year ago, the patient had a relapse of leukemia and a second transplant from the same donor. The patient experienced complications from the procedure, including temporary liver problems and kidney failure, but they were not unusual and may occur in HIV-negative patients, he said.

MayoClinic.com: HIV testing-- what tests and when to get tested
Researchers including Hutter agree that the technique should not be used to treat HIV alone. "Some people may say, 'I want to do it,'" said Levy. A more logical -- and potentially safer -- approach would be to develop some type of CCR5-disabling gene therapy or treatment that could be directly injected into the body, said Levy.

Less invasive options to alter CCR5 could be on the horizon within the next five years, said Levy. "It's definitely the wave of the future," he said. "As we continue to follow this one patient, we will learn a lot."

One drug that's currently on the market that blocks CCR5 is called maraviroc (Selzentry). It was first approved in 2007 and is used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs. Health.com: Who's most at risk for STDs?

In 2007, an estimated 2 million people died from AIDS, and 2.7 million people contracted HIV. More than 15 million women are infected worldwide. HIV/AIDS can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, sharing needles, pregnancy, breast-feeding, and/or blood transfusions with an infected person. Health.com:What should I do if the condom breaks?

"For HIV patients, this report is an important flicker of hope that antiretroviral therapy like HAART [highly active antiretroviral therapy] is not the endpoint of medical research," Hutter said.

This is a good news because...


MANILA – Former Labor Undersecretary Susan Ople has urged the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) and the leaders of the call center industry to pursue awareness campaigns in workplaces to stem the rise of HIV/AIDS in the Philippines.
Ople, a Senate bet in the May 2010 elections, cited the yet-unpublished study conducted by the University of the Philippines (UP) Population Institute, which noted that in the past 10 months there was a dramatic increase in the number of young urban professionals affected by HIV/AIDS.

The study, with 675 respondents from 22 call centers in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu, showed a significant number of call center workers has contracted diseases through non-romantic but regular sexual engagements known in the industry as FUBU, short for ‘F**ked Buddies.’
F’K Buddies (FUBU), the study showed, is a recent phenomenon that involves consensual sexual intercourse among call center workers done at fire exit areas or in dark lounges.

"I validated the results of this survey with several call center agents,” Ople said, “and they told me that FUBU is gaining ground especially among nightshift workers."
To address the problem, she cited the need to introduce values enhancement services and activities in the call center industry.

Official records at the Department of Health (DOH) showed the number of HIV cases rose to 709 in 2009, compared to the 528 recorded the previous year.
Citing Dr. Edsel Salvana of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) Infectious Disease Treatment Complex, Ople said 80 of the HIV cases documented were recorded for November 2009 alone, most of them “well educated.”

She said DoLE should consider seriously the results of the UP study, saying that “certain ethical standards” should be put in place, warning that the absence of appropriate “safeguards against sexual promiscuity in the workplace… could lead to emotional stress, sexually transmitted diseases and even broken marriages.”
"Nothing beats raising professional and ethical standards to promote decency and productivity in the workplace. This is something that the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry leaders should work on jointly with DOLE," she added.

The study, in order to contain the HIV/AIDS trend, suggested the removal of unisex facilities that could be used for sexual trysts, the strict monitoring of office decorum, a 24/7 in-house counseling service for emotionally distressed workers, implementing of rules and sanctions against any form of sexual encounters, and the installation of video facilities in the workplace.

Moreover, the research, which was done between September and November 2009, reported that three out of four call center workers and two out of three non-call center workers polled have had “penetrative premarital sex.”

Budlight "Clothing Drive" Commercial

Hilarious!

On a serious note here is a tip on how to organize a "Clothing Drive"

Step 1: Obtain permission to use the space where you plan to locate your collection boxes or event.

Step 2: Contact a charitable agency, such as The Salvation Army or Goodwill, to arrange a suitable date and time for the pickup of your collected donation.

Step 3: Secure prizes — such as toys, frequent flyer miles, or an extra vacation day — that would motivate clothing and shoe donations from your potential audience. Check with your employer and local merchants, who would get positive publicity for their participation.

Step 4: Publicize a donation valuation guide for tax deduction purposes.

Step 5: Have fun advertising your collection drive with signs and unique displays! The more appealing your advertisement, the more your community can make a difference for those in need.

Raped Teenager Receives 101 Lashes For Becoming Pregnant

A 16-year-old Bangladeshi girl was who raped 8 months ago was given 101 lashes as punishment for having conceived during the assault, Bangladesh's Daily Star reports. Meanwhile, the paper notes, the alleged rapist received no punishment.

The village elders who issued the fatwa against the girl also fined the girl's father and warned him that his family would be forced into isolation if they didn't pay.

According to the Telegraph, the girl was so ashamed that she did not lodge a complaint about her attack. Human rights activists say that she married quickly after the attack, but was divorced not long after when it was revealed she was pregnant. She told the Daily Star that the rapist had "spoiled" her life.

"I want justice," she said.

Here’s an awesome compilation video of several people trying their hand at shooting the .577 T-Rex. I’m surprised no one lost an arm while shooting that beast…that recoil will take out a small village of indigenous people.

From Wikipedia: The .577 Tyrannosaur or .577 T-rex is a cartridge developed by A-Square in 1993 for the hunting of large game in Africa. The .577 contains a .585-inch (14.9 mm) diameter 750-grain (49 g) Monolithic Solid Projectile which when fired moves at 2,460 ft/s (750 m/s) producing 10,180 foot-pounds force (13,800 J) of energy.
