The most successful Olympic Games in history
--------------------------------------------------------


The tears of joy and anguish are over for the athletes at the Olympic Games. All that's left now is the closing ceremony, which starts later this evening.

The most successful Olympic Games in history comes to a close Sunday night, leaving behind a legacy of accomplishments that would be difficult to duplicate four years from now when London hosts the next Olympics. With China spending $ 40 billion to host the Games, nothing was left to chance to make this the most lavish, most colorful and biggest Olympics ever. If the opening ceremony is a yardstick, tonight"s closing will expectedly be a memorable one, too. Songs, dances and revelry will be at the forefront of the celebration as athletes and officials co-mingle without the formality and seriousness of the opening night. The Olympics will be remembered not only for the spectacular opening made grander by advances in computer engineering, that would be hard to duplicate, for sure, but also for the mind-boggling accomplishments of the athletes for which these Games will also be remembered.

SAND MINING MIGHT ERASE SOME ISLANDS FROM MAP OF MALDIVES

Since time immemorial artisanal coral sand extraction or mining from local beaches and lagoons, mainly for construction purposes, has been a common practice in the Maldives. However, within the last four decades the Maldives has been experiencing a massive boom in the construction of cement houses and high-rise concrete buildings. Up to late 1980s, almost all the cement houses and buildings were built with coral sand and coral aggregates from local beaches and lagoons. In the late 1980s, imports of river sand and aggregates from India started to replace coral sand and coral aggregates in the construction of high-rise buildings.

“UNEP’s field mission found that artisanal extraction of coral sand from lagoons (manually using sacks was evident at nearly all the islands visited. UNEP witnessed uncontrolled coral sand exploitation, and visual evidence indicates that coral sand extraction has increased since the tsunami.” (Maldives Post-Tsunami Environment Assessment Report)

............................Get away from STRESSStress is a well-known trigger for depression and it can also affect your physical health. So it's important to identify the causes of stress in your life and try to minimise them.
specialy the hacktick life we maldivians live make more worse.
It's important to act to relieve damaging stress before it affects your physical or mental health.
Dealing with stress

Take a day off work, domestic chores, family and everything else that puts pressure on you. Spend the day doing only relaxing things that make you feel good. It can make all the difference, reducing the threat to your wellbeing.
Some ways to cope with stress:
Know your own limits - don't be too competitive or expect too much of yourself
Let off steam in a way that causes no harm (shout, scream or hit a pillow)
Try to spend time with people who are rewarding rather than critical and judgmental
Practise slow breathing using the lower part of the lungs
My advice is do not work on weekends, have FUN!!!

How much should you drink every day?

How much water should you drink each day? — a simple question with no easy answers. Studies have produced varying recommendations over the years, but in truth, your water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live.
Though no single formula fits everyone, knowing more about your body's need for fluids will help you estimate how much water to drink each day.

To ward off dehydration and make sure your body has the fluids it needs, make water your beverage of choice. Nearly every healthy adult can consider the following:
> Drink a glass of water with each meal and between each meal.
> Hydrate before, during and after exercise.

If you're concerned about your fluid intake, check with your doctor or a registered dietitian. He or she can help you determine the amount of water that's best for you.

Some journalists are apparently finding it hard to interview Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Maybe it is because they aren't geeky enough. Or, maybe some journalists just don't get Facebook or maybe there is nothing to get. Maybe Facebook is just another social network like the thousands of others out there. It just happens to be more popular.

Across the country, Facebook users are contemplating similar questions when they log onto their accounts. More and more moms and dads, sisters, doughters are signing onto Facebook to keep up with their offspring. Not only are they friending (or attempting to friend) their sons and daughters, they're friending their sons' and daughters' friends.

Some, like Ahmed, take the requests in Suzan. He ultimately friended his dad. Others are less sanguine, voicing their dismay via online groups that decry parental intrusion and offer tips on how to screen out mom and dad. ("Just go onto their computers and delete their accounts." "Just don't add them as a friend or any1 that is a co-worker with ur parents duh.") Even parenting experts are getting involved, offering their own tips on proper Facebook etiquette.
SO DELETE YOUR FACE BOOK ACCOUNT!
