Finger Measurement Test.. from yahoo health
What it tests for: Osteoarthritis, and other things. . . .
How to do it: Hold your hands flat and look closely at the lengths of your fingers in relation to each other. Is your index finger shorter than your ring finger?
What it means: A recent study at the University of Nottingham in England found that if a woman's index finger is shorter than her ring finger, she's more than twice as likely as others to develop osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. There's no scientific explanation yet for the connection between finger size and arthritis risk.
Several other studies have found another use for finger measurement: It can be used to guess at penis size. According to studies done in South Korea, if a man's ring finger is significantly longer than his index finger, he's likely to be well endowed, while a short ring finger indicates average to below-average size. Previous studies have shown that a long index finger is an indication of lower testosterone exposure in the womb.
What to do if you fail: Women: In this case, there's no immediate action to take. Just be on the alert for signs of osteoarthritis such as knee, hip, shoulder, or back pain. If you do develop pain and suspect osteoarthritis, you might mention the finger length research to your doctor. Guys: If you notice her looking at your ring finger, distract her by buying her a drink.
Romberg's Test.. from yahoo health..
What it tests for: Degenerative diseases (or intoxication)
How to do it: Stand with your feet exactly together, arms by your sides. Now close your eyes and stay that way for a full minute. How do you feel: perfectly balanced, or as if you're swaying or falling forward? It's best to do this test with someone watching you to detect swaying. A variation of this test is to do it standing heel to toe on a straight line.
What it means: This test measures proprioception or positioning, considered the "sixth sense" that tells us where our bodies are in space. Proprioception requires accurate sensory input from our joints and muscles and healthy functioning of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord, which allow us to perceive the position of our limbs both in relation to other parts of our bodies and to the environment. When you can't balance with your eyes closed, it's considered a sign of sensory ataxia, or loss of motor coordination, which can be a sign of diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, inner ear problems, lumbar spinal stenosis, or another degenerative disease. Romberg's test is also sometimes used as a test of intoxication or drug use.
What to do if you fail: It is possible to fail this test when nothing is wrong with you, but -- because it can also indicate a serious condition -- it's worth discussing with your doctor. If you're also experiencing other symptoms, such as numbness, tingling in your arms or legs, or balance problems, ask your doctor for a referral to a neurologist.
The Diamond Test or "Schamroth's Sign" from yahoo health.. try it...
What it tests for: Cardiovascular, lung, or other diseases
How to do it: Hold up (or down) both index fingers and turn them so the nails are facing each other. Press the nails together and you should be able to see a tiny, narrow, diamond-shaped space between your nails where the nails come flat together but the nail beds don't touch each other.
What it means: If your nails are rounded over and can't press flat together, it's a sign of "clubbing," a thickening of the fingertips that occurs when not enough oxygen is circulating in the bloodstream. Clubbing can be a sign of cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease or heart failure, or of lung disease, like COPD, lung infection, or lung cancer. In some cases, inflammatory bowel disease and cirrhosis of the liver also cause clubbing.
What to do if you fail: Look closely at your fingers for other signs of clubbing. Measure the thickness of your fingertips all the way around; if they're clubbing, you'll notice that they're noticeably thicker above the top knuckle than below it. Clubbing is important to bring to your doctor's attention to monitor your heart and lung health.

Every pound of fat gained causes your body to make 7 new miles of blood vessels... This means if you are “only” 10 pounds overweight your heart has to pump blood through an extra 70 miles of blood vessels. The good news is that this also works in reverse. If you lose a pound of fat, your body will break down and reabsorb the no longer needed blood vessels...
IF you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment or torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation, YOU ARE LUCKIER THAN 500 MILLION PEOPLE ALIVE AND STILL SUFFERING... IF you can read these posts, YOU ARE MORE FORTUNATE THAN 3 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO CANNOT READ THEM AT ALL... if you can have this chance of reading my blogs, YOU ARE GOING TO BE HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER... trust me...
IF you have food in your fridge, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, YOU ARE RICHER THAN 75% of the world... IF you have money in the bank, your wallet, and some spare change, YOU ARE AMONG THE TOP 8% OF THE WORLD'S WEALTHY... if, you woke up this morning with more health than illness, YOU ARE MORE BLESSED THAN THE MILLION PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT SURVIVE THIS WEEK... believe me..

The control and the sublimation of the senses is the most important and essential thing for us...
How can one serve the Lord in others,
when the senses drag you away from that service?
How can you serve when passions
peep in, to tarnish the love that inspires that service?
Letting one's senses have their way,
by directing them on the objective world of tastes,
smells, shapes, melodies and softnesses is to fall into a bottomless pit.
The Lord of the World is engaged
in spreading bliss in this world,
you too should be engaged in the noble task
of spreading bliss around.
The control and the sublimation of the senses
is the most important and essential thing for this...

Roles of teachers... teachers should try to impact the finest education at minimum cost.... from a divine source....
Teachers should try to impact
the finest education at minimum cost
and make children lead pure and noble lives..
without being bound by
considerations of hours of work,
teachers must when necessary,
be prepared to put in extra hours
to remove the doubts of students
and help them to complete their assignments.
Teachers, this is your duty,
holding fast to Truth, you must make
righteousness, peace, love and nonviolence,
the guideposts for your life, at all times.
You should not limit yourself
to imparting the 5 human values alone.
You must also create the environment
which will be conductive to the practice of these basic values.

When you have dedication and devotion,
you will be able to face all the challenges
in the discharge of your duties.
If teachers play their role properly,
they have the power to transform the entire nation..
