This blog is about music, live healthy,relax and more stuff.
Get into music.
click Here for more stuff.
Listening to music taps into your brain’s imagination and sense of self-identity, boosts your self-esteem, and lessens feelings of isolation. Listening to music feels empowering. Put on your favorite album––or that one you keep meaning to dive into, turn up the volume, and cut out all other distractions so that you can really experience the music . In some cases, music has been shown to help people coping with dementia, giving them a greater sense of empowerment.
Take a break.
A decent break doesn’t mean zoning out to the TV or going down the internet rabbit hole. It means setting some time aside and making it special. As a thank-you to yourself, give yourself a vacation or “staycation”; a change of scenery––even if it just means having a picnic in your backyard or building a fort with your kids in the living room. Taking a break that is different from the ordinary and lets you "hang loose" can do wonders for your sense of fun, escape, and fulfillment.
Way To Be Healthy
1.Sleep
A recent scientific study showed that people who slept fewer than 7 hours each night were three times as likely to catch colds as those who slept 8 hours nightly. So tuck in and get your zzs!
2. Talk
Sometimes you feel bad because something's on your mind, skulking around and sabotaging your well-being, inside and out. Talking to a trusted friend or therapist can help you sort out what's really going on inside—and map out steps to make it better.

Did you ever think of laughter as an ab-toning exercise? Well,it is! Plus, it's a blood-oxygenator, endorphin-releaser, and general body relaxer. Ha Ha Ha !
How to Live Longer
1. Turn off the TV
Too much time in front of the boob tube can take a serious toll on your health. In fact, a 2010 study found that people who watched four or more hours a day were 46% more likely to die from any cause than people who watched less than two hours a day.
Even cutting back a little can help; each additional hour you watch increases your overall risk of dying by 11% and dying from heart disease by 18%.
2. Drink in moderation
A 2010 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology linked light drinking (defined as one drink a day for women and two for men) to significant heart benefits.
Women who have two or more drinks a day and men who have three or more may run into detrimental effects ranging from weight gain to relationship problems. But in smaller quantities, alcohol can actually be good for you.
3. Eat fruits and vegetables
As an added bonus, the inflammation-fighting and circulation-boosting powers of the antioxidants in fruits and veggies can banish wrinkles.
Getting fewer than three servings of fruits and vegetables a day can eat away at your health. Nutritional powerhouses filled with fiber and vitamins, fruits and veggies can lower your risk of heart disease by 76% and may even play a role in decreasing your risk of breast cancer.

Search Engines
Google & Bing

Google advantage: Provides more relevant information.
While Bing's recent changes make it a more viable search option, it's still lacking in terms of result quality in response to informative queries.
In this case, I tested the phrase, "income tax rates." While the Google search engine results page (SERP) displayed information on both 2012 and 2013 tax rates in the first five listings, the only dated information found in Bing's results was a single listing mentioning 2011 tax rates.
Google advantage: Instant search saves time.
Although Google and Bing both offer instant search features -- which display potential search queries as you're typing into the search box -- Google's instant search tends to provide more relevant results, more quickly.
To measure this, I began entering the sample query, "latest Packers score" into both engines. Google provided this as a possible query result after only "latest Pack," while Bing required the full "latest Packers s" to turn up the same result.
Google advantage: Connected products provide more background information.
If you use any of Google's other products -- such as Google Reader or Google+ -- the search giant already has a wealth of information available to understand you and tailor its results to the listings that are most likely to be of value to you. While Bing offers similar products -- such as Bing Reader -- they aren't nearly as widely adopted as Google's offerings, meaning that Bing's internal integrations aren't likely to influence the company's SERP results for many users.
In this case, because I'm subscribed to SEO and social monitoring service SEOMoz in my Google Reader account, I was more likely to see posts from SEOMoz contributing authors appear in my Google query results than in Bing's listings. To me, this adds value by increasing the likelihood that results will appear from authors I know and trust.
Bing advantage: Social integrations are stronger.
Bing's results win in terms of the smoothness of its social integrations. The company's contracts with both Facebook and Twitter give it access to more social data than Google, which must rely on the lesser-used Google+ network. The way it integrates social recommendations into its SERPs is also much less cluttered than Google's results.
Bing advantage: Results pages are more attractive.
Bing's search results pages have a certain visual appeal. And it appears that there are plenty of people who agree. In many ways, Bing's results look like Google's used to, before Google cluttered its listings with "+1" buttons, social annotations and other useless features.
HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF GOOGLE NOW
If you let it learn about you and your habits, then it can throw up information that it thinks you might be interested in. News, sports scores, weather, and traffic information is served up in real time based on your previous movements and searches. Information is served up in the form of cards, which you can tap for more detail or swipe away to ignore. When it works, Google Now can give you what you want before you even know you want it.
You won’t get great results unless you set Google Now up with all the information it needs. This will involve some trust on your part. For heavy users of Google services it won’t be an issue, but anyone with privacy concerns is liable to think twice. Google Now is built-in to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and above, and you can also now get it as a free iOS app (it’s part of the Google Search app).
It’s worth spending some time in the settings before you start to use Google Now. On Android you’ll probably have a Google search bar on your home screen and you can tap it to bring up Google Now, or you can select Google from the app drawer. On iOS you’ll want to open the Google Search app. You should be asked to set it up the first time you use it, but you can return to the app and enter settings whenever you like, in order to tweak things.
Go to Privacy & accounts and tap Manage location history and then Location settings and make sure that Location reporting is on, Report from this device is ticked and Enable location history is ticked.
Now go back to Settings > Privacy & accounts and make sure that Web history is on. You can also edit your Web history from here. Alternatively you can access it on your computer and laptop. Just click on your name at the top right on the Google page, when you are signed in to your Google account, and choose Account and then click on Products over on the left and choose Web history. You’ll find detailed stats and categorized information on your searches. You can turn it on or off via the Settings cog at the top right. Google Now will draw on this information, if you let it.
Back in the Google Now Settings menu there are some more things worth mentioning. Tap Google Now All cards to choose exactly what you want to receive cards about. Tap Notifications to choose exactly which kinds of cards merit a notification and how it should sound. The My stuff option will allow you to set your home and work locations, set your favorite sports teams, and choose stocks that you are interested in. Finally, in Voice, you might want to Download offline speech recognitionso you can add reminders when you’re offline.
There are some features in there that don’t seem to work for everybody, or that seem somewhat limited, but have stunning potential. There are also some exciting additions on the way.
One of them seems to pull in the functionality of Google Goggles, so you can use the camera to identify objects. This was rolled out in a previous version of Google Now, but seems to have been removed, possibly because it isn’t ready for prime time. Get the Google Goggles app if you want to try it out. You can still use the “Scan barcode” command to use your camera to scan barcodes within Google Now.
You might be interested in checking out Google’s Field Trip app. It highlights all sorts of cool and interesting things in your immediate vicinity and we can see it being folded in to Google Now at some point.
At Google I/O we got a glimpse of the future for Google Now. You will be able to activate the voice search or commands by saying “OK, Google” and it will anticipate follow up questions and try to provide useful related information before you ask for it. It will also remember your previous questions and handle relatively complex requests. Information and recommendations on music, books, TV shows, and video games that you might like is also rolling out now. We’ll have to check it out before we decide whether it’s advert spam by another route, or genuinely useful. Everyone like to use google.
In any case, it’s clear that Google is committed to improving Now and it already surpasses the competition, if you give it the chance. Half-hearted use of Google Now will not impress, it’s an all or nothing deal if you really want to feel the benefits. Let us know how you use Google Now, and if you have any tips or questions, then post a comment.
