Can Loud Music Hurt my ears? If the noise around you is so loud that you have to shout to be heard, there is a chance that the mechanism inside your ear can be injured. Temporary hearing loss can happen after you've been exposed to loud noise for any duration.  You also could have  tinnitus, which is a medical term for ringing in the ears. Listening to loud music a lot can cause the same kind of damage, especially if headphones are used. Some famous musicians have suffered hearing loss and developed tinnitus — a real problem for someone who needs to hear to make and enjoy music. You too can help keep your hearing in tip-top shape. Protect your ears by wearing ear protection.

Dreams of playing Vivaldi Granted, your first violin instrument probably won't be a Stradivarius. You may have just rented it from a school or bought it off ebay . You probably had dreams of playing Vivaldi & instead it sounds like a barn yard animal in distress. First get to know your violin. The violin acquired most of its modern characteristics in 16th-century Italy, with some further modifications occurring in the 18th century. The oldest documented violin to have four strings, like the modern violin, is supposed to have been constructed in 1555 by Andrea Amati. The violin is played by musicians in a wide variety of musical genres, including Baroque music, classical, jazz, folk music, rock and roll. The violin has come to be played in many non-western music cultures all over the world.

A Stitch in Time May save nine. A timely effort will prevent more work later. The question usually asked is "saves nine what"? The stitch in time is simply the sewing up of a small hole in a piece of material and so saving the need for more stitching at a later date, when the hole has become larger. Clearly, the first users of this expression were referring to saving nine stitches. The 'stitch in time' notion has been current in English for a very long time and is first recorded in Thomas Fuller's Gnomologia , Adagies and Proverbs, Wise Sentences and Witty Sayings, Ancient and Modern, Foreign and British , 1732. Fuller wrote a little explanatory preamble to this one: "Because verses are easier got by heart, and stick faster in the memory than prose; and because ordinary people use to be much taken with the clinking of syllables; many of our proverbs are so formed, and very often put into false rhymes; as, a stitch in time, may save nine . This little artifice, I imagine, was contrived purposely to make the sense abide the longer in the memory, by reason of its oddness and archness.”

Much in Little PUGS: bred to adorn the laps of the Chinese sovereigns during the Shang Dynasty before 400 BC, they were imported to Europe in the 16th century by the Dutch East India Company. It is said to have become the official dog of the House of Orange in 1572 after a pug named Pompey saved the life of the Prince of Orange. The pug is a toy breed of a dog with a wrinkly, short-muzzled face, and curled tail. They have a fine, glossy coat that comes in a variety of colors, and a compact square body with well-developed muscle. They have been described as multum in parvo ("much in little"), referring to the pug's personality and small size. 5 pugs, Olga, Pedro, Minka , Fatima and Venus belonged to the monarch Queen Victoria in nineteenth century England whilst Fortune was Josephine Bonaparte’s favourite pug.

Paper Planes are Fun When your car breaks down, relax sit back and watch a Paper Plane go by… The history of paper airplanes is believed to have occurred when the first piece of flying paper was tossed aside to the garbage. Paper originated with the Chinese almost 2000 years ago, so most flight historians believe that this is where the first paper airplanes may have been created. Just like any other flight device, there has been an evolution of paper airplanes. This Basic Dart is probably the most  well known paper airplane in the world. It is simple, easy to fold, and flies fast and far. However there are numerous others and if you’re interested I suggest you visit this site: http://www.amazingpaperairplanes.com/index.html

Human Powered Transport There are many different ways of travelling from place to place, people usually travel by car, train, aeroplane or ship, but in some countries of the world there are some unusual means of transport. Human-powered transport and animal-powered transport have their own mode of transportation. Modern technology has allowed machines to enhance human-power. Human-powered transport remains popular for reasons of cost-saving, leisure, physical exercise and environmentalism. Human-powered transport is sometimes the only type available, especially in underdeveloped or inaccessible regions. It is considered an ideal form of sustainable transportation.

Don't Shy Away From the Limelight Visibility is the first step in building a solid reputation. Consumers that see your name displayed somewhere are more likely to use your product than if they’d never heard of you. So step out, let your voice be heard, and display yourself for all to see. Visibility is the principal idea behind advertising and promotion. As visibility grows and people are starting to sample your product, your business becomes more memorable. People will remember your name and develop product loyalty. Not only will they be loyal to the product they used, but they will be more likely to try other products with your brand because of your positive brand image. That’s all for now.
