BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing
malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air
decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain
efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the
death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and
decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of
the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may
cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

15 Coolest Firefox Tricks
Everybody’s favorite open-source browser, Firefox, is great right out
of the box. And by adding some of the awesome extensions available out
there, the browser just gets better and better.
But look under the hood, and there are a bunch of hidden (and some not-
so-secret) tips and tricks available that will crank Firefox up and
pimp your browser. Make it faster, cooler, more efficient. Get to be a
Jedi master with the following cool Firefox tricks.
1) More screen space. Make your icons small. Go to View - Toolbars -
Customize and check the “Use small icons” box.
2) Smart keywords. If there’s a search you use a lot (let’s say
IMDB.com’s people search), this is an awesome tool that not many
people use. Right-click on the search box, select “Add a Keyword for
this search”, give the keyword a name and an easy-to-type and easy-to-
remember shortcut name (let’s say “actor”) and save it. Now, when you
want to do an actor search, go to Firefox’s address bar, type “actor”
and the name of the actor and press return. Instant search! You can do
this with any search box.
3) Keyboard shortcuts. This is where you become a real Jedi. It just
takes a little while to learn these, but once you do, your browsing
will be super fast. Here are some of the most common (and my personal
favs):
* Spacebar (page down)
* Shift-Spacebar (page up)
* Ctrl+F (find)
* Alt-N (find next)
* Ctrl+D (bookmark page)
* Ctrl+T (new tab)
* Ctrl+K (go to search box)
* Ctrl+L (go to address bar)
* Ctrl+= (increase text size)
* Ctrl+- (decrease text size)
* Ctrl-W (close tab)
* F5 (reload)
* Alt-Home (go to home page)
4) Auto-complete. This is another keyboard shortcut, but it’s not
commonly known and very useful. Go to the address bar (Control-L) and
type the name of the site without the “www” or the “.com”. Let’s say
“google”. Then press Control-Enter, and it will automatically fill in
the “www” and the “.com” and take you there - like magic! For .net
addresses, press Shift-Enter, and for .org addresses, press Control-
Shift-Enter.
5) Tab navigation. Instead of using the mouse to select different tabs
that you have open, use the keyboard. Here are the shortcuts:
* Ctrl+Tab (rotate forward among tabs)
* Ctrl+Shft+Tab (rotate to the previous tab)
* Ctrl+1-9 (choose a number to jump to a specific tab)
6) Mouse shortcuts. Sometimes you’re already using your mouse and it’s
easier to use a mouse shortcut than to go back to the keyboard. Master
these cool ones:
* Middle click on link (opens in new tab)
* Shift-scroll down (previous page)
* Shift-scroll up (next page)
* Ctrl-scroll up (decrease text size)
* Ctrl-scroll down (increase text size)
* Middle click on a tab (closes tab)
7) Delete items from address bar history. Firefox’s ability to
automatically show previous URLs you’ve visited, as you type, in the
address bar’s drop-down history menu is very cool. But sometimes you
just don’t want those URLs to show up (I won’t ask why). Go to the
address bar (Ctrl-L), start typing an address, and the drop-down menu
will appear with the URLs of pages you’ve visited with those letters
in them. Use the down-arrow to go down to an address you want to
delete, and press the Delete key to make it disappear.
Cool User chrome. If you really want to trick out your Firefox, you’ll
want to create a UserChrome.css file and customize your browser. It’s
a bit complicated to get into here, but check out this tutorial.
9) Create a user.js file. Another way to customize Firefox, creating a
user.js file can really speed up your browsing. You’ll need to create
a text file named user.js in your profile folder (see this to find out
where the profile folder is) and see this example user.js file that
you can modify. Created by techlifeweb.com, this example explains some
of the things you can do in its comments.
10) about:config. The true power user’s tool, about.config isn’t
something to mess with if you don’t know what a setting does. You can
get to the main configuration screen by putting about:config in the
browser’s address bar. See Mozillazine’s about:config tips and
screenshots.
11) Add a keyword for a bookmark. Go to your bookmarks much faster by
giving them keywords. Right-click the bookmark and then select
Properties. Put a short keyword in the keyword field, save it, and now
you can type that keyword in the address bar and it will go to that
bookmark.
12) Speed up Firefox. If you have a broadband connection (and most of
us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This
allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of
one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections).
Here’s how:
* Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Type
“network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings
(double-click on them to change them):
* Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This
will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
* Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it
“nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is
the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it
receives.
13) Limit RAM usage. If Firefox takes up too much memory on your
computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. Again,
go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select
“browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower
it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have
between 512MB and 1GB ram.
14) Reduce RAM usage further for when Firefox is minimized. This
setting will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it,
taking up much less memory. And there is no noticeable difference in
speed when you restore Firefox, so it’s definitely worth a go. Again,
go to about:config, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean.
Name it “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to TRUE. You have to
restart Firefox for these settings to take effect.
15) Move or remove the close tab button. Do you accidentally click on
the close button of Firefox’s tabs? You can move them or remove them,
again through about:config. Edit the preference for
“browser.tabs.closeButtons”. Here are the meanings of each value:
* 0: Display a close button on the active tab only
* 1:(Default) Display close buttons on all tabs
* 2:Don’t display any close buttons
* 3:Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox
1.x behavior)
