feignderstand - pretend to understand, especially after someone has said something 3x without you comprehending...hilarious right?

SPF 30 or 55 does not protect 2 or 3 times as much as SPF 15. They come up with these numbers based on how long it takes you to burn. So if you turn red in the sun after 10 minutes without sunscreen, but you just put on an spf 30 on, then you are protected for 300 minutes.  They get these numbers also by slathering on the sunscreen like icing on a cake, so a thin layer like most people have on is usually equivalent to 5 or something.

affronted - saying something in a disrespectful insulting way, intending to insult

Beijing has smog indexes up to 700..or 900..Toronto is like 7.2.

This week I learned...

The lebanese are the most successful immigrants in the world.  Jewish people hold 20% of nobel prizes, though they only constitute 1% of the worldwide population.

B complex vitamins are excellent to take if you feel brain fog or are detoxing from alcohol.

Training at high level intervals (sprint, walk, sprint, walk) creates more mitochondria in your cells, which means more energy. You have to give your body a reason to produce more mitochondria, if your body thinks it doesn't need them, it won't produce them.

The beginning 2000s started a trickle down effect where there wasn't enough jobs for the very VERY smart and highly educated.  So they took even lower level jobs, which is why we now need a masters to teach pre-k.

Different countries and even within the US, there are different boards of health that tout different amounts of alcohol as the healthy limit.  Spain is the highest at 7 glasses a day.  France is 3-4.  Within the US it is between 1-3.  Alcohol doesn't necessarily kill brain cells (autopsied individuals have been studied and heavy drinkers had just as many brain cells as non-drinkers).  It is the neuronal signals that get disrupted.

Men have more water/blood ratio than women, which is why they can drink more.

Ok more later...I learned a lot this week...

This started out as a site to promote my etsy site and just to upload neat things I found.  I tired of it though naturally...and luckily pinterest came along.  Then for a millisecond I was going blog about every bottle of wine I drank just to keep track of all of them and then potentially show it to employers one day. Like, people in the wine business, not just any employer.  Hey, I drink an unhealthy amount of alcohol, hire me!
So NOW I'm going to blog about everything I learn that I want to remember.  Pinterest cannot aid me in this and I have a horrible memory, so wala. Here we go...Alot of ways to educate children will be on here too...aspiring teacher and parent.
