Men's Sweat Attracts Women

According to a new study to pick up the ladies, a 20-minute workout on the elliptical machine should do just fine.

The study, published in The Journal of Neuroscience and conducted by researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, found that women who sniffed a chemical found in male sweat experienced "heightened mood, physiological arousal and subjective sexual arousal."

"This is the first time anyone has demonstrated that a change in women hormonal levels is induced by sniffing an identified compound of male sweat," said Claire Wyart, a post-doctoral fellow at UC Berkeley and the leader of the study.

The study focused on androstadienone (AND), a component of sweat. Previous studies have found male sweat -- specifically from the underarm -- can increase the secretion of luteinizing hormone in women, responsible for stimulating ovulation.

Another study showed female sweat, when applied to the upper lip of another woman, can alter the menstrual cycle of the subject to coincide with the sweat provider, according to a press release.

"Many people argue that human pheromones don't exist, because humans don't exhibit stereotyped behavior," Wyart said. "Nonetheless, this male chemical signal, [AND], does cause hormonal as well as physiological and psychological changes in women. More cognitive studies need to be done to understand how [AND] affects female cognitive functions."

Research was conducted on 48 Berkeley undergraduate women, each of which took 20 sniffs from vials containing either AND or a control -- in this case -- yeast. Scientists then took saliva samples from the women to measure cortisol levels, a hormone used to respond to stress. The increased hormone levels were found within 15 minutes after the testing began and lasted for more than an hour.

World's Biggest Train Set - Miniatur Wunderland

This is the world's biggest train set which covers 1,150 square meters (12,380 square feet), features almost
six miles of track and is still not complete.

Twin brothers Frederick and Gerrit Braun, 41, began work on the 'Miniatur Wunderland' in 2000

 

The set covers six regions including America , Switzerland , Scandinavia , Germany and the Austrian Alp. 

 

The American section features giant models of the Rocky Mountains, Everglades, Grand Canyon ..

 

...and Mount Rushmore

 

 The Swiss section has a mini-Matterhorn

 

The Scandinavian part has a 4ft long passenger ship floating in a 'fjord' 

It is expected to be finished in 2014, when the train set will cover more than 1,800 square meters (19, 376 sq ft)
and feature almost 13 miles of track, by which time detailed models of parts of France, Italy and the UK will have been added.

 

It comprises 700 trains with more than 10,000 carriages and wagons.

 

 

 The longest train is 46ft long

  

The scenery includes 900 signals, 2,800 buildings, 4,000 cars - many with illuminated headlights..

 

 

 ...and 160,000 individually designed figures 

 Thousands of kilograms of steel and wood was used to construct the scenery... 

 

 The 250,000 lights are rigged up to a system which mimics night and day by automatically turning them on and off 

  

The whole system is controlled from a massive high-tech nerve centre
 

 

  

Gerrit said: "Our idea was to build a world that men, woman, and children can be equally astonished and amazed in"
 

 

Frederik added: "Whether gambling in Las Vegas , hiking in the Alps or paddling in Norwegian fjords - in Wunderland everything is possible"

Keep Your Teeth White Naturally

There are many effective methods of teeth whitening available, but some come with heavy price tags. Here are some steps you can take at home to whiten teeth naturally without breaking the bank.


Things You’ll Need:

Straw
Toothbrush
Lemon Juice
Salt
Baking soda
Hydrogen peroxide
Strawberries

Step 1:
Limit your consumption of drinks that stain tooth enamel. A few of these include coffee, tea and red wine. If you simply can't cut back on these beverages, consider drinking them though a straw to limit the amount of liquid that actually comes in contact with teeth.


Step 2:
Brush your teeth immediately after eating, especially if eating foods that stain easily, such as berries.


Step 3:
Rub raw strawberries on your teeth, preferably pureed. There is an enzyme in strawberries that acts as a whitening agent. You'll want to brush and rinse after applying the strawberries to remove the natural sugars and acids they may leave behind.


Step 4:
Eat crunchy foods that require a lot of chewing such as carrots, celery, broccoli and apples. These foods are abrasive and will remove built up plaque, which dulls the appearance of teeth.


Step 5:
Dip your toothbrush directly into baking soda and brush. The results are worth the lousy taste.


Step 6:
Combine lemon juice and one teaspoon of salt to make a paste-like substance. Brush your teeth and rinse. Again, not so pleasant on the palate, but your teeth will thank you.


Step 7:
Use hydrogen peroxide to brush your teeth. Dip your toothbrush into a small capful of the peroxide and brush as you would with regular toothpaste, being careful not to swallow. Rinse with water.

Alternative-

Consider using one of the several whitening toothpastes on the market that have all-natural ingredients.
Brushing after every meal and flossing regularly are the first steps in maintaining a healthy smile.
