    Listen... Let Me Whisper in Your Ear...

    Previous research has shown that if you want to persuade someone to do something, you should speak in their right ear.
    And now, a new study has found that apologies go down better through right ear as well!
    Scientists from the University of Valencia found that when people are angry right ears were significantly more susceptible to sound.
    However, there was no change in the left ear, according to the research published in the journal Hormones and Behaviour.
    The discovery has led to the theory that by targeting the right ear, you’re more likely to succeed in talking someone round and getting them to accept your apology!
    This is because the left side of the brain processes sounds that come in through the right ear.
    If anger activates it, noise from the right, but not the left, will be heard more keenly. So if you want to appease whoever you’ve made angry, say sorry to their right ear.
    But if you don’t really mean it, then by all means use the left ear!

    Taiwan: Infidelity Crisis
    One in three Taiwanese women would marry other men if they were given a second chance in life, according to a survey published on Tuesday, amid warnings that the island was facing an "infidelity crisis." In the survey, only 17% of men would want new wives.
    I call this the reverse Tiger Woods effect!

    Woman's amazing find: all eggs in box had 'double yolks'
    A woman from Cumbria, England made her eggs-citing discovery when she bought a half-dozen box from a supermarket to make scrambled eggs one sunday morning.
    As she cracked open each egg, she could only stare in amazement as every one in the six-pack contained a double yolk.
    British Egg Information Service said double yolk eggs were common among younger hens between 18 to 24 weeks.
    Now, we’re such a nation of betters and punters, so you might be wondering – what are the odds of such an occurrence?
    Experts say the chances of getting one double yolk in a box of eggs was one in 1,000.
    The chances of getting all six double yolks in one box, therefore, more than one in a trillion.
    Which is about the same as the anyone understanding the lyrics of a Duran Duran Song!

    5. Reduce your intake of foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol which clog the arteries and are linked to Alzheimer's. Opt for mono- and polyunsaturated fats - such as olive oil - when cooking, and bake foods instead of frying them.
