Finger Prints - Very Interesting Information

It is already an accepted fact that every single person in the world has a different set of fingerprints. The Chinese have devised a way to read personality & destiny traits by studying the waves and the circles that appear at the tips of everyone's fingers ? indeed so convinced are they that in the old days the fingers of prospective daughters-in-law were carefully scrutinized by prominent families to ensure they did not unwittingly welcome women who had fingers that showed alternate circles and waves on their fingers, as it was commonly believed that such women would bring trouble into the family, being particularly difficult to control and usually very aggressive.

In this article, we bring you some indications of destiny & personality traits based on the circles and waves on the five fingers of each hand. Guys should examine their left hands while women should look at their right hands.

Top 10 Causes of Death Worldwide

Top 10 Causes of Death Worldwide


The world's leading causes of death in 2001 were heart disease and stroke, according to a new study on global health.

Researcher Alan Lopez, PhD, and colleagues combed through thousands of data sources from all over the globe on 136 diseases and injuries in 2001.

Lopez works in Brisbane, Australia at the University of Queensland's School of Population Health. He and his colleagues published the results in The Lancet. Among their findings:

Slightly more than 56 million people died in 2001. Those deaths included 10.6 million children, almost all of whom (99%) lived in low-income and middle-income countries. More than half of the children died from 5 preventable or treatable conditions:

*
Respiratory infections
*
Measles
*
Diarrhea
*
Malaria
*
HIV/AIDS

HIV/AIDS in Africa and setbacks in health for the former Soviet Union offset gains against other diseases. The study shows that one in three deaths was due to communicable diseases, nutritional deficiencies, and health problems in pregnant women, new mothers, fetuses, or newborns.
