The crescent-shaped whitish area of the bed of a fingernail is a very important and sensitive nail part and you should be very careful not to damage it.

This whitish half-moon is called lunula (small moon in Latin) and it’s a very sensitive part of the nail. The lunula is actually the visible part of the nail’s root and should not be damaged in any way because if you damage it your entire nail will be permanently deformed.

However, if you just damage the rest of the nail and it falls off or is surgically removed the lunula will remain intact and in its place. It is not actually white but only appears so when it is seen through the nail.

It’s most visible on the thumb but not everyone’s lunula is visible. In some cases, the eponychium, the thickened layer of skin surrounding fingernails and toenails, may partially or completely cover the lunula.

In alternative medicine it’s believed that the lunula can reveal some very important information about our overall health. For example, traditional Chinese medicine believes that a lack of lunula indicates anemia and malnutrition while a pale or bluish lunula indicates possible diabetes. If a person’s lunula has reddish smudges he or she may be suffering from cardiovascular diseases.

A lack of lunula or a really small lunula usually indicates indigestion which can happen due to slow metabolism and toxin overload in the body.

This seasonal brainteaser was first shared in a video by Mia Yilin, an optical illusion specialist who has grown in popularity online due to her ability to accurately predict a person’s life and personality.

On social media, one person in Mia’s comment section wrote: “It’s scary how truthful and accurate she can be sometimes” while another person commented: “It always amazes me how [Mia] can read me like a book.”

Rabbit

If you first see a white rabbit, then you can struggle to step out of your comfort zone. You wish to do more with your life and are worried about wasting opportunities or time.

However, you struggle with leaving things to chance and sometimes feel you have too much going on in your life to take or break or do new things in your schedule. You may benefit from trying to do something small and new once a week, and then trying to build up to bigger experiences from there.

Mia explained: “You find comfort in routine and change can make you feel uneasy. However, you also have a desire for new experiences and adventure which can lead to a conflicted dynamic within yourself.”

Eagle

If you are someone who first saw a black eagle when you are scared of opening up to someone. Deep down you are a hopeless romantic who wants to settle down with a partner but can be weary of being vulnerable with a person and do not feel confident about trusting someone.

However, if you are able to take a risk and confide in someone, then you can find yourself getting the relationship you want in life, as well as not feeling as burdened by your own worries.

Mia said: “You tend to be cautious when it comes to relationships, taking time to build deep connections with others. But once someone earns your trust, you are fiercely loyal and will go to great lengths to support and protect them.”

A dream is successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.[1] The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology.

A good night’s sleep is always a good thing, isn’t it? Dreams, the inevitable part of sleep, are considered as another dimension which is uncontrolled by the mind. Additionally, some people even believe that dreams are closely connected to the real life, and, what’s more, they contain hidden messages.

It is considered that dreaming these 10 things has a specific meaning. Take a look:

1.BOXES

• Dreaming boxes means that there is a secret which your subconscious is trying to unravel.
• If the box is empty, this could indicate disappointment in real life, whereas a box being opened means that you want to share your secrets with others.

2.FALLING

• Falling in your dreams means that you might be losing control in real life and you fear failure.

3.CATS

• Dreams with cats mean strength- the subconscious is giving you signs that there is a connection in the spirituality.

4.ANTS

• This means that you are very close with the people you love and your relationship with them is very strong.
• Also, this could mean that there are people who are pressuring you and trying to cause you problems.

5.HAIR

• Dreaming hair means that your subconscious is giving you ideas on how to express yourself to your partner.

6.WATER

• This means that you are probably a risk-taker in real life.

7.FLYING

8.ROADS

• This symbolizes your desire to travel and the need to achieve your goals, dreams, and desires.

9.MUD

• Probably, there is some problem that worries you and keeps you stuck in a situation.
• Understand this dream as a sign to keep moving.

10.GREEN COLOR

A woman is looking for her kindergarten teacher to apologise for disrupting class 40 years ago.

Stomper Dorothy said the pupils in her PAP Kindergarten called the teacher Yang Laoshi. (“Laoshi” is Mandarin for teacher.)

This was from 1982 to 1983 in the Bukit Merah branch of the kindergarten.

“My two elder siblings went there too. In fact, all of us were taught by Yang Laoshi,” said the Stomper, who shared photos of Yang Laoshi and herself taken all those years ago.

“She was a nice and patient teacher who was very popular with both pupils and their parents as we respected her a lot.”

Dorothy added that Yang Laoshi was not just a teacher.

“To us, she was more a family friend. At times when my family chatted about our childhood, Laoshi’s name would always be mentioned.”

But that was not the only reason the Stomper is seeking her kindergarten teacher after 40 years.

“Another reason for me wanting to look for her is that I used to be a ‘cry baby’ during kindergarten days,” explained Dorothy.

“I would cry most of the time I went to class and I was very clingy to my mum. Laoshi was very patient during lessons even though I disrupted class.

“I hope to apologise to Laoshi for all the ‘drama’ that I had created once upon a time.”

Reheating dinner is a way of life. Whether it’s Friday night and you need to clean out your fridge, or you want to turn your leftovers from last night into a whole new meal, our microwaves are our handy kitchen companions. But research shows that reheating some of your favorite foods can be dangerous to your health. Take a look at these foods that can give you food poisoning (or worse).

1. Potato

Potatoes are very useful because they have many health benefits. However, those benefits and their dietary quality are lost if you don’t eat them the same day that you’ve cooked them. Eating them on another day and reheating them makes them dangerous for your body, instead of useful.

2. Rice

According to the Food Standards Agency, “Uncooked rice can contain spores of bacteria that can cause food poisoning. When the rice is cooked, the spores can survive…Then, if the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores will multiply and may produce poisons that cause vomiting or diarrhoea. Reheating the rice won’t get rid of these poisons.”

3. Celery

We often use celery for soups. It is rich in nitrates as well. When you heat up your soup with celery, nitrates can be turned into nitrites. Therefore, take out the celery when you want to warm up your soup. Carrots should not be reheated too.

4. Mushrooms

It is known that mushrooms are the most important food that shouldn’t be warmed up. In general mushrooms should be eaten right after preparation. If you want to eat them the next day, be sure to consume them cold. If not, they can cause digestive problems and additional heart problems.

5. Spinach

You ought to never warm the spinach on the grounds that it is exceptionally unsafe thing to do. It is prescribed to eat it directly after readiness. The thing is spinach contains high rate of nitrates which transform into nitrites when warmed. This is carcinogenic to the body.

6. Chicken

It is very dangerous to eat chicken the next day after preparation. You can come into some digestive problems because the structure of proteins change. Chicken has more proteins than the red meat. It is recommended to eat cold chicken. And if you need to warm it up, then be sure to do it on a low temperature for longer period.

7. Turnips

Turnips are a common ingredient in soups and stews. Due to their high amount of nitrates, reheating the vegetable is not advisable, as it can become toxic.

8. Oils

Oils such as grape seed, walnut, avocado, hazelnut and flaxseed have very low smoke points. So, when you reheat them, they become rancid. Avoid using them as your cooking oil and sprinkle them onto your dish at the end to enhance taste.

9. Lettuce

This green leafy vegetable is best when eaten raw. Cook it if you must, but never reheat butter lettuce, as the high amount of nitrates can cause food poisoning.

10. Eggs

We can reheat foods that have eggs, but it is dangerous to re-heat scrambled or boiled eggs. Eggs can be toxic when exposed to high temperature once they have been cooked. They are also full of protein and re-heating eggs cause protein to be destroyed and change its composition to become toxic.

We all view the world differently but could it be because of our personality?

One test believes that we notice different things first and that it is because of the unique way each of our minds work.

What do you see in the picture above first?

An explosion

“This is evidence that you have a well-developed imagination and that this has helped you in numerous situations. The chances are that you’re a very creative individual and work in an artistic sphere of activity. If you don’t, then you’ve probably got hidden talents within you that are worth trying to give expression to. Think about what you enjoyed doing when you were a child: Did you like drawing or singing? At the very least, a new hobby won’t do you any harm. You need to use your creative energy in order to live a full life.”

Two hands

“You have a well-developed imagination, but at the same time you rely on logic as the basis for most of your actions. You see what is really in front of your eyes first and foremost. You’re a clear-headed individual and people can always turn to you for sound advice. Cold rationality and a sharp mind allow you to extricate yourself from even the most complex and difficult situations. You never give in to panic, always keep calm, and are astute enough to know how to calm down others as well. People see a strong person in you that they are instinctively drawn toward.”

A tree

“You’re a very observant person who notices all the little details in things. No information can be hidden from you. At the same time, you’re highly sensitive to the moods of those around you. You know how to extract information from people and understand when it’s the right moment to pose this or that question to an individual. Your calling lies somewhere in the professional business world. You’re guaranteed to be successful in those spheres of activity that require conscientiousness and precision.”

Nothing

“If you didn’t see anything when you first looked at the image above, then you need to take a rest. You’re clearly tired and you’re finding it difficult to resolve complex tasks. You find it hard to make sense of things from a different perspective and take many things far too literally. Take a break. A few days spent in solitude and calm will give you strength for new activities.”

If you have a strong mind, people will usually depict you as arrogant, it’s kind of an unwritten rule. Your strong mind will either attract strong minds alike or will offend a weak one. Whatever the case may be, it’s true that people are scared by a powerful personality and tend to avoid it.

We bring you 8 signs that indicate you have a strong personality:

1. You do not try to please anyone
You don’t do anything to impress other people. You are true to your opinion and to yourself, and pleasing other’s opinions don’t go well with your true character.

2. You do not seek attention
You naturally don’t want attention because you’re confident and happy with who you are and don’t need other’s eyes and approvals on you. It’s because you have approved yourself first.

3. You admit your mistakes
You don’t consider yourself perfect, nor do you try to bring upfront a “perfect” persona in front of your friends. You are not feeling ashamed when you admit your mistakes, because you’re aware of them.

4. You stick to your morals
You have your own opinion on what’s good and what’s bad and nothing and no one will turn a switch on you. You stand firmly on the ground and nothing can throw you out of balance.

5. You do not tolerate excuses
Here, the problem is not the ego. Not tolerating excuses is something that you will often find yourself thinking that it’s a waste of time. You want to leave your comfort zone and try to make the best of it.

6. You cannot stand ignorance and insensitivity
You don’t like people that are ignorant and act fast and make decisions very quickly. You are aware and thoughtful, and you have empathy.

7. You don’t like small talk
“What’s the weather there?” is one of the questions that won’t start a nice conversation with you. You tend to either speak about something more meaningful to waste time on mindless conversations.

8. You are not arrogant – you just have a strong attitude
You are the type of person that knows your own value. Once you know your value you know what to bring in your life and what is meaningful and what is not. Being upfront and direct in needed situations, and stand firmly on the ground is a gift that should not be taken as a joke. Those who are insecure will find themselves easily offended, but you don’t care. You won’t change who you are.
