MH370 Passenger Found Asking for Help

Two days ago, government of Malaysia gave a statement that Malaysia Airlines MH370 crashed somewhere in the stormy portion of Indian ocean. Despite the fact that mainstream media is now revolving only around this new story, many are not ready to believe it. There is no real proof of any debris from the plane and that is enough for us to assume that either the government is still going by guesses or they just want people to now stop thinking about the flight. It is also assumed that they want to deviate people's attention from the mystery island Diego Garcia. But why? On March 18th, someone claiming to be the passenger from MH370 asked for help online from his iPhone5. Its screenshot is given below. Feel free to download it for analysis. So far many forums, Facebook pages and Twitter handlers have already picked it up. The users have been doing the same. Interestingly, every time they are trying to prove that it is a hoax new research keeps popping up to emphasize that it is truly from Diego Garcia where no ordinary human is allowed to enter.

The Trick That Will Save Your Lipsticks from Running Out

One disadvantage of wearing makeup everyday is that it makes cosmetics run out faster. Lipsticks usually take the most pressure. Eating, drinking and licking lips make the lip color fade quicker. Hence, we are forced to continue to apply it throughout the day.

The end result is empty lipstick tube within couple of months. There is a trick to preventing this from happening. It is so simple that anyone can do it.

Did you ever notice how the color of lipliner matches the color of lipstick? In fact, the two almost have the same texture.

But usually, lip liners are much cheaper than lipsticks. This is the plus point.

So instead of lipstick, try filling up your entire lips with your favorite pencil lip liner. It will feel slightly dry. However, once you touch it up with some lip gloss, the dryness will get erased and the lip liner color will shimmer and turn creamy like every traditional lipstick. No one will be able to tell exactly what  you are wearing.

So what if you aren't looking for the traditional lipstick color effect? This is what the lip gloss does. If you are looking for matte texture you obviously can't use that thing along with the pencil lip liner. Do not feel disappointed. There is still hope. For matte texture, go for an automatic lip liner of your choice.
One of the best qualities of this specific product is that it is designed to be creamy without any shine. That is why, it is good at imitating matte lipsticks. Never use the lip gloss over it. Otherwise, it will get runny. You will not like the aftermath associated with that.

It is easy to fall in love with lip liners. It is not just because they are affordable. What I have noticed is that they last longer over the lips. Even eating and drinking can't make the color fade just like that.

Can we use eyeshadow in place of lip liner?

Using eyeshadow like lipsticks is not at all new. In makeup rooms of low budget theaters, it has been going on for years. In fact, eyeshadow is a great help in events where blue or green lip color is a must. Yet it can't act like a good alternative. In order for the eyeshadow to work like a lipstick, it must be mixed with creamy lipgloss. But what makes it problematic is that it does not have binding properties. Even lip gloss can't do anything. A little bit of lip leaking forces it to come off quickly.

These Tracking Devices Can Put You in Danger

What happens when you keep giving in a relationship for free? The partner you are giving to starts taking you for granted. This is the current situation we Americans are experiencing. Do you notice how most of our devices can track us? Recently, we came across the NSA slides of Snowden that showed how government is collecting our information. He mentioned that one single international call we make can put us in grave danger. This probably does not apply to all of us, for not every American makes international calls.

Also not all of us have anything to do with criminal activities. But how the information will be used in the future is what makes many experts worried. They have created a hypothetical government activity to show how one who is not doing anything wrong can still be targeted as potential future criminal. We will have a look at this shortly. But before that it is important for especially girls to know how you may fall prey to stalkers and other villains through the devices you are currently using.

Cars: Are you at home or out of town? Believe it or not, a stalker can find out about your whereabouts just by using one of the websites of insurance companies and yes, it is free. All they need to do is have some of your addresses recored. They can enter each in the box provided for retrieving auto insurance quotes. Below is an example this.
I have been thinking for a while to change our car insurance. For getting an auto insurance quote, I went to Progressive insurance site where I was told to enter my name and address. I followed the instruction and after going to the next page I was surprised. What you are seeing in the above picture was the result. The address I entered was of our bay area house. All papers of this car have our Sacramento house address. But above everything else, this is my sister's car that I probably drove only twice in the bay area this year. In no way, I am associated with it. The insurance company found this car in that garage by using the address I gave them. What about my car? They could not track it because it is from the 90s and thus, has not come with a tracking device. But don't you think this breach of privacy? Think about the immense troubles this kind of feature can bring in your life. Even a sci fi burgler can take advantage of this feature for targeted burglery.

Smartphones: Smartphones have always been controversial. It is noted that pictures picture taken with them are downloaded to a server with date and location stamp without the consent of the users. To some, it is still not a thing of headache. But what if the smartphone camera itself turns into a spying robot United States Naval Surface Warfare Center and University of India have designed a malware that can make it possible. This little malicious guy works on phones running on Android 2.3 and higher. It takes the pictures and then sends them to a database that an attacker then can use to create 3d model of the environment of the phone user. The scientists have said that this can help in burglery and theft. For the youth, however, this is not going to be the main problem. A person can create such malware to fill up his porn site with free porn movies. Hopefully, you are getting what I am saying. Stalking is still much easier without any malware. Facebook pictures sent directly from smartphones are best friends of stalkers. All they need to do is get their exif data. Watch the video below to see how smartphone pictures ruin people's privacy.

Find My Friends: This is an app made for iPhone and iPad users. Through global positioning system (GPS), it can track the location of user's device and friends. But to make it track friends, the user must first send invitation to them. The app is quite controversial. In fact, someone used it to catch his cheating wife. When explaining it he mentioned that he installed it on her phone secretly. Just think about a friend turned foe doing something similar for revenge purpose. 

Data collected by the government
For the time being, NSA has tried to give explanation for the data collected is that this is a part of war on terrorism. By tracking phone numbers and emails, they want to prevent future terrorist attacks. But what if someday they start to use the data to target American citizens for things they never did? Watch the video to see how this may unfold.

This video is made by American Civil Liberties Union. One big problem with the story being used in it is that it depends too much on guesses. If the law enforcement agencies want, they can make the work faster by using the credit cards of the targeted people. All they have to know is what they are buying. We may think that this is not going to happen. So let's go back to credit cards. What happens when you end up accumulating debt? It gets reported to credit bureaus. When you go to apply for a job your employer looks into your credit history and when they find out that some 4 or 5 years ago, you ended up with debt they conclude that you are irresponsible with finance. Similarly, if government someday decides to use the data to find potential criminals your same day three trips to liquor stores may turn you into an irresponsible drunk driver. That is why, researchers say that "I have nothing to hide" is something that we should stop saying. The more power you give to an entity the weaker you become. 

I live in a gated community and I actually see it everyday. Some years ago, in our park someone was stabbed. During that same time, mail theft was apparent. We asked home owner association president to do something about it. The solution turned out to be security guard. We agreed to increase the HOA fee for it. Now we don't have those crimes anymore. The guard is still here and to make sure that he is fully utilized, HOA has asked him to catch any of us showing what they tag as bad behavior. Now a simple parking mistake gets us into trouble. The guard even makes a big issue out of how children play in the play. Do you understand what is happening here? For security, we gave away our freedom. It can't be undone. We could have easily taken a different approach to fight mail theft and other crimes. We could have transferred the mailboxes to a more visible area. We could have installed video camera in our houses separately for monitoring our yards. This simple gated community scenario is not different from the national level surveillance program. Remember our government believes in getting value for every dollar spent. So if there is no real project NSA government can force them to keep eye on the random people who think "I have nothing to hide".

Update: What is described above is already happening. It came to my attention that Michigan's Child Protective services agency has already made a database of child abusers. These child abusers are parents who have never been reported. They have no idea that they have been wrongfully tagged. What makes the situation worse is that getting the names removed from this database is extremely tough. 

Measles Outbreak Seen in California Bay Areas

Bad news for all Californians, cases of measles in the state are on rise. The disease is not uncommon around winter, but the prior year we had only 3 confirmed cases. According to California Department of Public Health, this year, we have 32 cases. At least 16 of them are reported from Southern California. See the chart given below for the affected counties.


The chart shown above may change overtime with more cases being confirmed. We can only hope for the opposite by taking precautions. The virus seems to be looming over the entire bay area. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that by 2000, the disease was killed in the United States for good. The new reports that come up now are more connected to travelling to foreign countries where every citizen does not get access to vaccination. This is in line with the recent Californian cases. CDPH mentioned that at least 3 Californians contracted the virus in Philippines. Two others contracted it in India. It is claimed that currently both the countries are suffering from measles outbreak. Health officials still blame the anti vaccine campaign for the outbreak by pointing out that some Californian patients were never vaccinated. The anti vaccine campaign rose from religious belief and suspicion on the safety of ingredients that go in the vaccine. One British doctor named Andrew Wakefield in 1998 recommended health departments to test the ingredients of Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccines. He believed they had link to autism. This news was widely distributed by the media, ultimately inflicting paranoia among the citizens.

 In California, vaccination has always been a sensitive topic with people being more upfront about their disinterest in going for it. Consequently, we have laws that facilitate exemption from immunization.

How does Measles virus spread?
In-depth structure of Measles

Biology teaches that measles virus stays in the respiratory system with mucus sending it to both nasal cavities and throat. The host or carrier, therefore, can transfer the virus to others by coughing and sneezing. Once captured in the air, the virus can remain alive for up to 1 hour. This explains why even without any contact with the main host, one can get infected by this virus. Moisture, however, is more hazardous. The virus in the wetness survives for up to 2 hours. Unvaccinated people have 90 percent chance of getting infected upon exposure.

Symptoms

After the exposure, the new host may go without feeling any negative physical reaction for up to 10 or 12 days. But this is no grace period. The virus uses the time to hijack and corrupt the cells of his lymph gland, eyes and respiratory system. The initial symptoms of the final illness are cold and cough accompanied by fever which may start to worsen later. During this time, the host will also find his eyes watery and red which will eventually make him sensitive to light. This eye infection is called conjunctivitis. Inside the mouth, there will be white spots as well. The final symptom of the virus is growing red spots over the body skin. It starts from top to bottom.

Precautions

Vaccine is by far the best precaution. But those who do not wish to get it may go for masks. This should be given high priority in hospital areas. During an outbreak, it is also best to not use public transportation and eat out. In some countries, schools and offices are closed for an indefinite time to prevent additional cases. Hopefully, someday United States will also implement this method.

Tarot Says Malaysia Airlines Not Under Water

It has now become tradition for us to witness sad events either in March or April of every year. This 2014 we have the case of mysterious disappearance of Malaysian airlines flight MH370. It has been more than 4 days now, but even nations with most technologically advanced surveillance programs have not found a trace of it. It is getting creepier day by day. My Asian friend asked me to do a tarot reading about the exact location of the plane. I felt stupid that it did not cross my mind first. The reading I did is given below. I used lost item spread. Traditionally, the cards under it do not have abstract meanings. They are interpreted based on the symbols they hold. First I went by this. At the end of the reading, I realized that together the cards were sending more useful information. Consequently, I could not help going for the abstract meanings. Tarot cards are not supernatural beings with power to decide our fate.That is why, I urge you to remain skeptic.

When to Say I love You to Your Partner (Practical Idea)

It is funny how there are so many advisers online warning people about the line “I Love You”. Most often the question is about when to say it to a partner. This is what people are actually looking for.

How long should you wait before you let your lips to flutter “I love you”? One of the articles which I found the funniest said something like “some partners don’t want you to utter it at all because they want you to show it instead”. This advice profoundly suits pet owners. Animals do not understand our language that well. Try telling those golden words to your dog. Just like my cat, he will probably reply with a “whatever” look. But both the animals accept food and rub we give to them as token of our love. So in short, they are the ones who prefer the show. When humans live by this motto, they make relationships look like ponzi schemes. That's because at the end of the day, this means that they want the partners to keep investing on the relationship for fantasy yield while they remain free of every deeper commitment. It is strange that some relationship experts try to make I love you sound suffocating. If you truly wish to know when to say those words read on.

Practically, refrain from saying I love you to a person you have just met. Otherwise, you will get treated like a very immature person. Some bolder love interests may even reply to it with “you don’t even know me”. There is a difference between like and love. The first stage of the courtship involves liking which has direct connection to infatuation. Love is deeper than that. The meaning of seriously loving someone means you accept them as they are. You love to be next to them and you have no problem with their evil side and all other weaknesses. So before you say I love you to a love interest, get to know them. Date them. Learn more about their habits, views and so on. Find out if you two are compatible. Ask yourself if you can imagine yourself with this person married and happy. If your heart says yes bring it on. Do remember that there is nothing called 4 months, 1 year, golden jubilee waiting period rule for I love you. Sometimes it takes only three weeks for two people to get to know each other. Others take 2 or 3 months. So whenever you feel ready and just jump.


What if the partner says that they were not ready for it? 

You can significantly avoid this from happening by hinting to them that you love them some days before the arrangement of that golden moment. But best of all, try hinting about the future. Openly tell them about how it would be nice to spend the rest of your life with them. If they feel uncomfortable to this you know they are not ready to hear the words just yet. What if this goes for 7 months? Then you know they are milking you. Run!

What if they never ever return the favor with “I love you too”?

This is not a good symptom at all. A person who never says I love you too has one or two of the following problems:

Hurt from past relationship, sexual abuse or parents’ divorce
Sometimes chaotic relationships stop people from believing in love. During your early dating days, you will come to know about the history. Still hurting from the past is usually a clear sign that they need time to heal. In a situation like this, you can try helping your partner. However, if nothing changes and you feel uncomfortable with the artificialness of the relationship you need to break off. The reason will be explained shortly.

Have ludus view on love
Now what exactly is ludus view on love? The word has multiple meanings, but often is associated with playing games. In psychology, it is considered as love style of players. But one does not have to be a habitual player to reject the words. Apparently, for some people, the relationship is what matters the most and not the partner. They have abnormal inclination to save the words for some soul mate they believe will one day knock on their door. These are also the same people who use that don’t say, just show it excuse and keep leading on their current partners. This is nothing but a game.

The mainstream experts say that  "I love you" is frightening to some people and even can burden the relationship with complicacy. That truly means seeing the partner's true color. Ask yourself  these questions: what good is a relationship where you cannot fulfill positive verbal urge? What good is a partner who cannot accept three simple romantic words? What good is a heart that makes you feel guilty about the line? The rejection simply means they do not accept you for who you are. Relationship cannot be built on just sex and doing lovely things for each other. Just like many other areas of our lives, it does need verbal assurance. In fact, when we are young, only verbal assurance can help us make our relationship solid.
