Is Jogging or Cycling more effective?

  Jogging and bicycling are both popular recreational and fitness activities. Both can help with weight loss and control and cardiovascular fitness. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Many people do both and joggers and bicyclists often share the same trails in parks and exercise paths. Both can be either individual or group activities and neither requires any extreme skill. You ought to get a physical examination before doing either if you're not already exercising.

  Jogging is more of a full body workout, because you swing your arms as you jog with your feet and legs and that motion will exercise shoulders and abdomen. It also is a continuous activity and a higher impact exercise, with the feet striking the ground with some force. That helps build bone density. Its only equipment is a good pair of running shoes and comfortable clothing.

Bicycling is a low impact exercise, easier on the feet, knees, hips and lower back because the feet rest on the pedals. Its intensity varies because a rider does not have to pedal constantly and can coast at times. It requires more skill because a rider has to maintain balance on the two wheels, but a bicycle rider may be more likely to fall than a jogger. Cycling also requires more equipment a bicycle and a helmet at a minimum.

  Both jogging and bicycling burn calories to help eliminate excess body fat, but the intensity of the activity affects this for both exercises. Jogging at a pace of 12 minutes per mile and cycling at 12 to 14 miles an hour will burn calories at about the same rate but fitness riding a bicycle 20 miles is equivalent to running 5.6 miles.

Mahsuri's Tomb In Langkawi Padang Matsirat Attractions

Mahsuri’s Tomb is the crypt of the legendary Princess Mahsuri. Located in the village of Mawat, 12km from Kuah, it is also known as Makam Mahsuri. Most of the island’s natural attractions have fables attached in true Malay style and Mahsuri’s Tomb is probably its most famous legend. The story begins with the beautiful Mahsuri, a maiden (or princess by some accounts) born over 200 years ago, who married the love of her life during a time of conflict with the Siamese. Her husband went off to fight in the war and her mother-in-law, jealous of her beauty, vengefully accused Mahsuri of adultery.

Mahsuri protested her innocence but the village elders tried the young girl, found her guilty and sentenced her to death by stabbing. She was tied to a stake but when she was pierced with the ceremonial dagger she bled white blood, a sign of her innocence. With her dying breath, Mahsuri cursed the island with seven generations of bad luck. Later the Siamese conquered Kedah and invaded the island – the inhabitants of Langkawi set fire to their staple crop and poisoned their wells in order to halt the advance of the invaders. Legend has it to this day traces of burnt rice can be seen in nearby Padang Matsirat (The Field of Burnt Rice) especially after torrential downpours.

Working Mother :)

Every mom is a working mom but some work outside of the house. They say when work outside they will get great rewards comes great responsibilities, and to bring up their children in an ideal environment, mothers work to support their family. 

A mother is the most important person in the house. The whole house needs her for getting help with food, clothes, studies, finding lost stuff, managing closets and wardrobes, getting ready for work and all. She is there to make sure everyone gets his or her desired things on time. Along with all this, if a mother goes to work, then this can become very challenging. Some women do not give up work after kids because they are workaholic and cannot live without it. If they do not work, they feel that they are useless and lazy. However, this can get very hard if they have kids who are on mother feed or are too young to live on their own. It gets very busy to look after kids and work, and even husband and house. They do not find time for themselves and are always caught up with either office work or home management. It is good to have a off day and let other people look after the house on the weekends so that they can relax.

Most of the working moms are active for their families. They feel proud and confident that they are making their exist useful. It might be very hard for a working mother to have healthy relationships with their children because they are out for most of the day. Despite of all the hardships they may face, working mothers ever give up their hopes and efforts. They are determined to work for a better future and their biggest motivation is their children.

We should all realize the fact that whatever our mothers do, they do it for us and should cooperate with our mothers to help them with house work and make them happy with our attitude or studies.

effect of social network on students :)

1.5 million people use MySpace and Facebook, the door for social networking abuse is left wide open. Over the past several years, social networking websites such as MySpace, Facebook, and twitter have exploded in popularity, especially among children, teenagers and college students. However, recent events involving child predators and other dangerous individuals using these sites have raised concerns about safety and security. Many parents view social networking websites with suspicion while having limited understanding of what these sites really are or how they work. Used responsibly, social networking sites do not pose a danger or threat to anyone. MySpace and Facebook have numerous benefits for their users in terms of interacting and talking with other people, but also provide comprehensive privacy and safety features. For example, Facebook and Twitter does not allow people to view others’ profiles unless they are friends, which require both people to confirm their relationship. It is even possible to limit the parts of a personal profile which are visible, which it is visible to, or make the profile completely invisible to everyone.

In the past three to five years, we have seen a rise in the use of social networking sites. Along with the rise in usage, we have also seen an increase in the number of rapes, kidnappings, and murders due to these popular social networking sites. Although this is a majority problem that concerns all social networking site users, college students who use these sites in alarming numbers may have a bigger problem to deal with when it comes to the things they post on their site. One of the reasons that social networking sites have become popular is the fact that students are able to do a variety of things on one site while keeping in touch with friends. A student can log onto their MySpace or Facebook and write a blog about their life, check in with a friend through their page to see what has...Futhermore, the most people used social network is Wechat and Instagram. wechat can search by people nearby and by using instagram can upload picture and updated activity daily life.
