Headphones

Using headphones at a high volume level can cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment or deafness due to an effect called masking. The headphone volume has to compete with the background noise, especially in excessively loud places such as subway stations, airplanes, and large crowds. This leads to the disappearance of the normal pain associated with higher levels of volumes, and extended periods of the excessively loud volume is extremely damaging.

Other risks arise from the reduced awareness of external sounds is some jurisdictions regulate the use of headphones while driving vehicles, usually limiting the use of earphones to a single ear. It to ensure that drivers keep their hands on the vehicles controls.

In addition, it also will be benefits to us. It can have an ergonomic benefit over the traditional handset at office desks. They save space and many new models are wireless. They also allow call center agents to maintain good posture instead of tilting their head sideways to cradle a handset.

Don't sneeze and drive!!!

Who are allergy-prone?? please take note.

Allergyreaction are caused when the immune system responds to allergents such as dust mites,pollen or pet hair and dander, by releasing histamine,causing symptoms such as wheezing and sneezing.The most common allergen causing allergic are dust mites.

It scary but true that if you sneeze while driving at 110 km/h on the road,you can travel up to 90 metres with your eyes closed, according to Automobile Association, so always have tissues handy and slow down and drop back if you feel and a sneeze coming on.

Nowadays, global warming is the critical point of no return. It is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s forever.

However, the increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities, are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years.

Beside that, there are some of the effects that make global warming happened. For examples are increase the sea level,change of the agriculture shape and retreat the glasier. While many view the effects of global warming to be more substantial and more rapidly occurring than others do, the scientific consensus on climatic changes related to global warming is that the average temperature of the Earth has risen between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the past 100 years.

Scientists from the intergovernmental panel carrying out global warming research have recently predicted that average global temperatures could increase between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the year 2100. Changes resulting from global warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps, as well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other severe weather events.

friendship

I’m very interested with article about friendship that I have read. Now, I want to share here. Friendship is a co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more beings. Many kinds of friendships and that some are limited because of societal standards and it is such a special relationship. Friends will welcome each other's person and exhibit loyalty towards each other.They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship.

More over, a friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. For being the best friendship, they must the tendency do desire what is best for the other, sympathy and empathy, honesty, perhaps in situation where it may difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart and the mutual understanding.

Lastly, in a comparison of personal relationships and friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as spanning across the same continuum.
