THE HISTORY OF RAZORS

I came across a very interesting article on www.spabeautyschools.com  yesterday and thought I would share it with all of you fellas.

Titled “The History Of Razors”, the website has also put together a really cool infographic to compliment the story. CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW TO SEE IT FULL SIZE.

The History of Razors

30,000 B.C.

Cavemen get vain. Smart archeological people figure out that the earliest shaving razors were made of flint blades, which started out incredibly sharp, but dulled after use. Yes, cavemen used disposables.

3000 B.C.

Metal mania. Thanks to a lot of metal clanging and banging, copper razors (which make for a more “permanent” solution) make their way into the mainstream… well, if you want to call Egypt and India the mainstream of the B.C. era.

1500 – 1200 B.C.

Designer razors. Leave it to the Scandinavians to bring style to the art of shaving. Razors discovered from this time period were adorned with etchings of cool stuff like horses, and came in cute leather carrying cases. Seriously!

500 B.C.

Alexander the Clean Shaven. Apparently the “great” one was obsessed with having a smooth complexion. Legend has it that he wouldn’t be seen in battle before shaving.

300 B.C.

B.C. Barbershops. A rich Greek businessman, Publicus Ticinius Maenas, decided that he was too rich to shave himself, so he brought over professional barbers from Sicily, and started a fad. In fact, in Rome, a popular 21st birthday ritual included a first-shave party to celebrate adulthood.

50 B.C.

All hail the beardless. Speaking of Rome, Julius Caesar was very into personal grooming, down to plucking stray hairs with tweezers. As they say, when in Rome… shave like the Romans do.

1066 A.D.

Razor trickery. William the Conqueror defeats King Harold in the Battle of Hastings, in some part thanks to his army’s calculated decision to shave their faces and cut their hair to resemble monks. The deception meant that King Harold’s spies underestimated the enemy threat, and the rest is history.

1500

New world barbering. Archeological evidence indicates that the Aztec Indians of North and Central America created razors from volcanic glass. The first hot shave?

1770

The book on shaving. Perhaps it’s no surprise that a Frenchman literally wrote the book on shaving as an art form: The Art of Learning to Shave Oneself (La Pogonotomie). Sort of like a beauty how-to article, the guide may also be the first to introduce the concept of “safety” razor.

1847

Who you calling a hoe? The hoe-shaped razor (resembling the farming tool) that we recognize today can be credited to English inventor William Henson. It’s all about a comfortable grip.

1901

Shave safely. King Camp Gillette (you know, the-best-a-man-can-get guy) teams up with an MIT genius named William Nickerson to perfect the safety razor, complete with double-edged, disposable and replaceable blade. Side note: Isn’t Nickerson a funny name for a guy who wants others to shave without getting nicked?!

1914

The war on facial hair. Gilette’s popularity skyrockets worldwide after he cuts a deal with the U.S. Armed Forces to give every enlisted soldier a safety razor and blades as part of their off-to-war care package. Foreign soldiers are envious, and European sales soar.

1921

Invention intuition. Adapting a military idea for a practical use inspired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jacob Schick to invent a new razor – the Magazine Repeating Razor. Similar to how a magazine clip contains bullets, this razor housed replacement blades right in the handle.

1928

No water required. Schick invents and patents the first electric dry shaver, great for roaring ‘20s men on the go.

1970s

Back to basics. The disposable razor, not popular since the stone ages, makes its way back into mass popularity. Cheap to make and easy to use, all of the major razor manufacturers offer a throwaway option.

Today

Headline-worthy beards. If you’re a celebrity, sporting a beard represents a lifestyle choice. Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Conan O’Brien, Joaquin Phoenix – need we say more?

Perhaps !

Perhaps some day the sun will shine again,

And I shall see that still the skies are blue,

And feel once more I do not live in vain,

Although bereft of You.

Perhaps the golden meadows at my feet

Will make the sunny hours of spring seem gay,

And I shall find the white May-blossoms sweet,

Though You have passed away.

Perhaps the summer woods will shimmer bright,

And crimson roses once again be fair,

And autumn harvest fields a rich delight,

Although You are not there.

But though kind Time may many joys renew,

There is one greatest joy I shall not know

Again, because my heart for loss of You

Was broken, long ago.

People More Likely To Lie On Twitter

Some people said that it's hard to get much information out of someone in 140 characters.  It may also be more difficult to obtain the truth.  I've  found that individuals are more honest when dealing with each other face-to-face than when using Twitter.

We'll admit that this behavior seems a little irrational; lying when the falsehood will survive online forever, depending on the fail whale's mood, isn't too smart.  Still, researchers focusing on email have come to similar conclusions in the past, and in this case, the margin wasn't very close.

Opinium Research polled 2,012 adults on behalf of Direct Line, and Direct Line stated afterward, "Just one in five people (20 per cent) profess to being more truthful on Twitter or text, compared to a third (31 per cent) who state that they are more frank when speaking to someone in the flesh."

Then, if you're interested in a breakdown of the data, the statement continued, "[M]en are less likely to be honest via text than themselves (17 per cent of men compared to 21 per cent of women) . . . .  [W]omen are less likely to be truthful in person than men, with 12 per cent more men claiming to be honest face to face than women."

Hopefully this research won't cause marketers too much trouble when they attempt to use Twitter.

Facebook Accused Of User ID Privacy Breach

On the heels of its big announcement with Bing, there's bad news for Facebook.  The social network has been linked to an alleged "privacy breach," and plenty of people are concerned about it, although there's reason to believe the matter isn't a big deal.

The problem, which was discovered by Emily Steel and Jeffrey A. Fowler: many of Facebook's most popular apps (including games made by Zynga and LOLapps) transmitted User IDs to advertisers.  Advertisers could then determine the names of an app's users, along with any info they'd made available to "everyone."

This has led to a number of discussions about leaks, breaches, and even the sale of private data.  Plus, it's not just bloggers doing the talking; mainstream news shows are covering the topic this morning.

The fact that "everyone" might include a few advertisers shouldn't come as a shock, however, and it looks like most apps' developers weren't sharing UIDs on purpose.

A post on the Facebook Developer Blog explained, "In most cases, developers did not intend to pass this information, but did so because of the technical details of how browsers work."  (More information on "referers" is available here.)

Later, the post promised, "Nevertheless, we are committed to ensuring that even the inadvertent passing of UIDs is prevented and all applications are in compliance with our policy."

ANDROID MARKET REACHES 1,00,000 APPS ! A MILESTONE

So far, Google hasn't celebrated with any public parties or press conferences.  Not even with a short press release or tiny blog post.  This morning, Google just used a Twitter account to announce the fact that the Android Market's now populated by 100,000 apps.

You can see the seven-word tweet for yourself below.  It was sent from a somewhat out-of-the-way account the Android team uses to communicate with developers.

Obviously, this is a significant moment in Android's history.  The milestone indicates that lots of consumers and developers have come to embrace Android, which is about all Google's asked of its free platform so far.

What's more - although this milestone is plenty important on its own - Google's quiet announcement could be a way of hinting that even greater achievements are on the way, considering that the Gingerbread version of Android seems ready to be released.

Of course, if anyone wants to conduct a comparison (and we know some of you will), one unofficial count puts the number of apps available in Apple's App Store in the neighborhood of 280,000.  So Google isn't king of the mobile market in this respect just yet.

Still, it looks like Google's making sure Apple doesn't run away with the lead.

Apple announces new iPod nano with multi-touch display

The new iPod nano, which had been rumored for weeks, was confirmed Wednesday by Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs. He boasted that the new device is almost half as small and half as light as its predecessor.

"It's so small, we're able to put a clip on it too, so it's instantly wearable," he said.

Users can swipe through to choose icons including music playlists, artists and Genius mixes. It also has FM radio, podcasts, and the ability to view photos.

Like on other iOS devices, users can move icons and drag them to different pages. The device also allows users to scroll as they do on the iPhone or iPod touch.

The device includes hard volume buttons, voiceover, Nike+ and a pedometer. It works in 29 languages. Multi-touch input can also be used to rotate the screen.

It will be available in six colors, $149 for the 8GB model, and $169 for the 16GB model. The internal battery provides users with up to 24 hours of music playback on a single charge.

"This is the biggest reinvention of the iPod nano since its debut in 2005, and we think users are going to love it," Jobs said in a press release. "Replacing the click wheel with our Multi-Touch interface has enabled us to shrink the iPod nano into an amazingly small design that is instantly wearable with its built-in clip."

iPod nano also features "Shake to Shuffle," giving music lovers the ability to shake their iPod nano to shuffle to a new song in their music library. With its built-in FM radio, iPod nano lets you listen to your favorite radio stations, and live pause lets you pause and resume playing your favorite FM radio shows without missing a beat.

Features:

• Multi-touch display: The best things in life have a soundtrack, and that’s where iPod nano shines. The Multi-Touch display lets you experience your music in a new way. Tap to play anything you want to hear. Swipe the Home screen to browse your music by songs, albums, artists, playlists, genres, or composers. You can even rearrange the icons on your Home screen so your music is organized just how you like.
  
  
• Clip-on design: With the new built-in clip, you can walk, run, ride, or dance with your favorite songs on your sleeve (or pocket, jacket, or bag). The album art of the song you’re listening to fits perfectly on the display.
  
• 24-hour battery life: The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives you up to 24 hours of nonstop music. So when you clip on an 8GB or 16GB iPod nano, you’ll have plenty of tunes to make it through your commute, your workout, and beyond.
  
• Shake to Shuffle: Now for something completely random. Give iPod nano a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. Shake to Shuffle is perfect for when you’re not in any particular music mood. You never know what you’re going to hear, and you’ll always be pleasantly surprised.
  
• Genius Mixes: Say you’re listening to a song you love and you want to stay in the groove. Just tap Genius. It finds other songs on your iPod nano that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. For more song combinations you wouldn’t have thought of yourself, create Genius Mixes in iTunes and sync the ones you like to your iPod nano. Then tap the Genius Mixes icon and rediscover songs you haven’t heard in a while — or find music you forgot you even had.
  
• FM Radio with Live Pause: Ride the airwaves on iPod nano. The FM tuner shows the artist, song, or program you’re listening to. Just tap to see the radio controls, flick the radio dial to change stations, and tap to set your favorites.
  
• Fitness: The new iPod nano design actually helps keep you fit. It’s portable and wearable, which makes it runnable, walkable, and workout-able. Clip it on and control your music with just a tap or swipe of a finger, so you can stay focused without fumbling around. For your run, walk, or trip to the gym, a little iPod nano goes a long way.

Power Within Us !

I took up the subject for my graduation without thinking much as it was decided by my parents. All I was sure was about that I want to pursue my career in Management. I had chosen BBA, when I joined the course I didn’t really knew what I was getting into but I knew that I was entering into a new life that will change me as an individual(change for good).Since I have joined the course I have realized that this is the thing I actually wanted to do. Once I am done with this I’ll get the POWER wondering how?? As an upcoming management professional, we will have the power to mould the decisions and to manage and maintain the reputation of an organization will also handled by us.

Day by day !

Life seems very confusing and mysterious at times and makes us feel that we are left with no options.We curse the way we live but never try and understand that this is just another day which will pass.We don’t understand the importance of a moment until its gone neither do we realize the importance of people till they leave us.The point to understand is that we can not regulate the lives of others or even of ours but we can certainly work to make our life better.Though I am not very old but still in these years of my life I have faced a few situations where I totally lost it and since then I am regretting that how could I let that moment go.Moments are very dynamic,once gone will never come back,so the thing to remember here is that make the most of every moment that comes in your life.
I may not be a great writer or an amazing blogger but the purpose of writing for me is to share what I have learnt from life.I believe that life is absolutely beautiful and its better if we realize it soon.Remember the key to happiness according to me is to make that I don’t loose another memorable moment and to treat a bad moment as just another day.This helps me as I have made them the way it suits me..Everybody has got their own philosophies, follow them or make them if you don’t have but take every step with the main idea that life is beautiful..
Cheers to life!!

12 quick and easy tips to search in a google like experts !

If you’re like me, you probably use Google many times a day.  But, chances are, unless you are a technology geek, you probably still use Google in its simplest form.  If your current use of Google is limited to typing a few words in, and changing your query until you find what you’re looking for, then I’m here to tell you that there’s a better way – and it’s not hard to learn.  On the other hand, if you are a technology geek, and can use Google like the best of them already, then I suggest you bookmark this article of Google search tips.  You’ll then have the tips on hand when you are ready to pull your hair out in frustration when watching a neophyte repeatedly type in basic queries in a desperate attempt to find something.
The following Google search tips are based on my own experience and things that I actually find useful.  The list is by no means comprehensive.  But, I assure you that by learning and using the 12 tips below, you’ll rank up there with the best of the Google experts out there.  I’ve kept the descriptions of the search tips intentionally terse as you’re likely to grasp most of these simply by looking at the example from Google anyways.

12 Expert Google Search Tips

1. Explicit Phrase:
   Lets say you are looking for content about internet marketing.  Instead of just typing internet marketing into the Google search box, you will likely be better off searching explicitly for the phrase.  To do this, simply enclose the search phrase within double quotes.
   

   Example: "internet marketing"

2. Exclude Words:
   Lets say you want to search for content about internet marketing, but you want to exclude any results that contain the term advertising.  To do this, simply use the "-" sign in front of the word you want to exclude.
   

   Example Search: internet marketing -advertising

3. Site Specific Search:
   Often, you want to search a specific website for content that matches a certain phrase.  Even if the site doesn’t support a built-in search feature, you can use Google to search the site for your term. Simply use the "site:somesite.com" modifier.
   

   Example: "internet marketing" site:www.smallbusinesshub.com

4. Similar Words and Synonyms:
   Let’s say you are want to include a word in your search, but want to include results that contain similar words or synonyms.  To do this, use the "~" in front of the word.
   

   Example: "internet marketing" ~professional

5. Specific Document Types:
   If you’re looking to find results that are of a specific type, you can use the modifier "filetype:".  For example, you might want to find only PowerPoint presentations related to internet marketing.
   

   Example: "internet marketing" filetype:ppt

6. This OR That:
   By default, when you do a search, Google will include all the terms specified in the search.  If you are looking for any one of one or more terms to match, then you can use the OR operator.  (Note:  The OR has to be capitalized).
   

   Example: internet marketing OR advertising

7. Phone Listing:
   Let’s say someone calls you on your mobile number and you don’t know how it is.  If all you have is a phone number, you can look it up on Google using the phonebook feature.
   

   Example: phonebook:617-555-1212 (note:  the provided number does not work – you’ll have to use a real number to get any results).

8. Area Code Lookup:
   If all you need to do is to look-up the area code for a phone number, just enter the 3-digit area code and Google will tell you where it’s from.
   

   Example: 617

9. Numeric Ranges:
   This is a rarely used, but highly useful tip.  Let’s say you want to find results that contain any of a range of numbers.  You can do this by using the X..Y modifier (in case this is hard to read, what’s between the X and Y are two periods.  This type of search is useful for years (as shown below), prices or anywhere where you want to provide a series of numbers.
   

   Example: president 1940..1950

10. Stock (Ticker Symbol):
    Just enter a valid ticker symbol as your search term and Google will give you the current financials and a quick thumb-nail chart for the stock.
    

    Example: GOOG

11. Calculator:
    The next time you need to do a quick calculation, instead of bringing up the Calculator applet, you can just type your expression in to Google.
    

    Example: 48512 * 1.02

12. Word Definitions:
    If you need to quickly look up the definition of a word or phrase, simply use the "define:" command.
    

    Example: define:plethora

Hope this list of Google search tips proves useful in your future Google searches.  If there are any of your favorite Google expert power tips that I’ve missed, please feel free to share them in the comments

Twitter Search Volume Up by 33% Since April 2010 !

According to Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, who spoke at the Aspen Ideas Festival recently, Twitter is handling 800 million search queries per day.

At Twitter’s Chirp conference in April, Stone said Twitter was serving 600 million search queries per day — 33% less than the microblogging service is processing now.

The number reminds us of Bing’s impressive growth last year, when Nielsen reported that Microsoft’s search engine was growing 22.1% month-over-month. However, Bing was unable to continue growing at that rate; it lost 5% of its stake in the search market the very next month.

All this time, Twitter’s search has been growing; partly due to Twitter’s growth in use and users, and partly because Twitter’s real-time search is one of the best ways to find out what’s happening right now. With the recent launch of Twitter’s ad platform, a huge search volume will definitely help Twitter increase its revenue stream.

Tips: Bulk Follow Tool !

* Twellow – Find Twitter users in a specific industry using this service.
* Twitseeker – An alternate search engine for finding twitter.com users. Many of the favorite but not mine. Also, this tool is currently blocked by Twitter as per the violation of terms. It find users basis on the search terms and users tweets/profiles and you can follow all those searched users in bulk.
* Tweepi – (“Select All” feature is disabled on 28th january as per “Twitter TOS”) I’ve searched a new tool for getting huge followers. It’s a good tool to attract huge followers within minutes . Now the procedure to use:
o Find a twitterer, who’s having similar profile like you
o Login into tweepi with your account.
o Now you can follow other twitterer friends within minute.
* Refollow (Now My Favorite) – Free, superb tool for bulk follow & unfollow feature & lots of other creative features like:
o Find twitterers, whom you’re following but they’re not following you.
o Find twitterers, who are following you but you’re not following.
o Find friends whom you didn’t follow previously.
o Have or don’t have pictures on their profile.
o When they last tweet.
o Number of days since they last tweet
o See number of followers.
o See number of friends.
o Locked & Unlocked twitterers.
o Can set the filters like search for any term or exclude any term.
o & many others features.

Tip : How to increase Followers ??

* Search & invite people which have same profile like you.
* Search and invite people which have huge followers.
* Ping your twitter account through ping.fm.
* Find your mutual friends, followers, followings etc from various twitter tools.
* Unfollow those who stop following you.
* If you have a website or a blog, display the follow me button at the top or any other highly visible space.
* Invite all friends of your Gmail, Yahoo mail etc as they are the most potential followers you can ever get.
* Follow others users. If you do not follow others and keep expecting lot of people to start following you, this will not work.
* Follow the top twitter users and watch what they tweet. Pay attention to the type of content they sent out and how they address their audiences.

Twitter Tools

* Friend or Follow – Friend or Follow helping you figure out who your friends, follows, and fans are on Twitter.
* Qwitter – Once you’ve done your initial cleaning, Qwitter is a nice app that will update you via email whenever someone stops following you. It will even let you know what you tweeted that caused them to stop following you, which could be useful (if you lose five followers every time you tweet about your cat, for example, that might be a hint to stop talking so much about your cat if you want to retain followers).
* GroupTweet – Create private groups to communicate with your group members alone by sending the tweet as a direct message to the group tweet account. That will convert the DM back to tweet and publishes only for the group users. Private communication is established through this way.
* Tweetmeme – Displays popular topics on Twitter and those people talking about that topic.
* TweetBeep – Just like Google Alerts, this service will send you an alert whenever your set keyword is mentioned on Twitter or when somebody link to your site.
* TwitterCounter – With this plugin, you can display the number of followers you have on Twitter.

Tips About Tweets & Posts

* Be active on twitter through different types of posts.
* Tweet valuable things. Don’t just try to get traffic to your blog by tweeting only about your articles. Mix your tweets with friendly content.
* Tweet about your passion in life and use #hash tag them.
* Every tweet should be independent. It shouldn’t depend on previous or any other tweet.
* Try to show the main things within first 32 characters as only they’re visible firstly until & unless s/he is your favorite friend or must following u. Persons, who are online through devices can’t able to see more than 32 characters at first.
* Post your Digg story into twitter as new status http://twiggit.org
* Keep space between 2 links within your tweet. For e.g. during replying to some post if 2 links occur and they’re more closer than there are less chances of clicking these.
* Save your time by configure your blog RSS feed into http://friendfeed.com. Friendfeed submit new posts automatically to your twitter account.

Aaj Phir Rimjhim Barish

Aaj Barish hoo rahi thii,
Aaj pHir in boondon main yaad thee thumhari
Na jane kya kashish thee rimjhim in barish ke boondon main
Jo mujhe kheech le jatee hain tumhare pass

Ye janta hoon ki nahi chahtee ho tum mujhe
Par zaroori to nahi ki ish baat ko main manoo bhi

Jo kabhi milogi to poochunga tumse
kya ye barish tumhe bhi satatee hain

Pyar na sahi
Nafrat se bhari humari bhi kuch yadeen latee hai.

A Letter To PrinCeSs Who Will Never Read It

Dear P*****, how could you break my heart and think everything is OK? I loved you and you left me for another girl. I know the reason; I wouldn't give you what you wanted. I wasn't ready, and apparently she was! You said it didn't matter if I wasn't ready, you loved me for me.Yet, when another girl who is willing comes along, you leave me as fast as you can. You tell everyone what you're going to do before you even let me know. So why is it that I had to be the last one to know? You don't think it could be worse then that? Well it can. You were such a wimp, that you couldn't even tell me yourself! Now as I think about our relationship, I realize that I wasted 4 and half months on you! You weren't even that special to me, I just let myself think that you were! You've been flirting with some girls who I thought were my friends, but apparently you've turned them against me. You made me feel small by the things you said. You gave me the reputations as a slut. Why would you tell people that we did those things? Does it make you look better, like more of a man? You don't even feel any guilt about what you did, and that is basically like screaming that you have no heart and care for no one but yourself. Now you tell people you're with my old friend, and everyone thinks she's cheating on her boyfriend that is here. You try and make me jealous by saying all the girls like you and it's so hard to choose one, but I know the truth. No one really does like you. I guess it makes you feel better by saying those things because you know it makes me hurt. I'm getting over you so fast now that I've found someone much better then you ever were to me. In only a couple weeks, I've realized that I care more for him then I ever cared for you! Now doesn't that make you feel great? Probably not, but after every hurtful thing you've said or done to me, I think it's your turn to take some of my pain that you've caused. Can you believe its been 5 months since we were together, and you still have the power to hurt me? Well not anymore, I don't need you and I never will again. So you can have all those girls who would give you anything, but leave me out of all of that. Thanks for everything, but now, just stop talking to me. You try and are friends but I hate you and I'd like it if we never spoke again! So in order to forget you, I guess this is goodbye. Maybe someday we'll see each other in the long run, but until then you're only a memory. I have to forget about the past, and focus on what's happening now. You can't hurt me forever. So goodbye and good riddance.

Love -----

I Quit-.eM nOT afrAID oF dyING

It's not so easy to stop from screaming, But words escape me when I try to speak,
Tears they flow but why am I Crying?After all I am not afraid of dying..

Don't believe that there never is an end, I know that I'm alone, It's me and Myself and Nobody else

Tried Long.

I Have Tried So Hard To Tell Myself That You Are Gone,

But Though You Are Still WIth Me, I Have Been ALone All Long

Long Road.....

It's a long road when you face the worldalone, when no one reaches out a hand for you to hold. You can find love if you search within your soul, and the emptiness you felt will disappear

As I Sink.....

As I sink deep into blackhole,I realise what I thought so real was never real.Soul ripped apart n heart ready for burial.But memories?!?Will we be ever freed from those chains of emptiness !

I'd Rather Bleed.,

I'd rather bleed with cuts of love than live without any scars

I 'd Rather,,

I'd rather spend a lifetime with you then to live all the ages of this world alone

♥ I Hope Yew Neva Knoh ♥

I Hope You Never Come To Know of The Thousand Tears I have Shed,
I Hope You Never Come To Know That You Are The Reason Why I Cry,
For Even One Tear in Your Eyes Is Enough To Make Me Die.

Miss

You
