Canada's PM Trudeau explains quantum computers

Quantum computing explained :-

Trudeau was at thePerimeter Institutefor Theoretical Physics in Waterloo on Friday and, after he toured the facility and wowed physicists with his knowledge of their field, he took questions from reporters. One reporter thought he would ask Trudeau to explain quantum computers. The question got a laugh.And a response.

Trudeau, clearly enjoying himself, did exactly what that reporter asked - he explained quantum computing. He started by saying "Okay, quite simply, normal computers work by..." but he was interrupted by laughter from the crowd, with mostapparently thinking he was joking about it.He wasn't, and he told them so.

“A regular computer bit is either a one or a zero, either on or off," Trudeau then said. "A quantum state can be much more complex than that, because as we know, things can be both particle and wave at the same time and the uncertainty around quantum states allows us to encode more information into a much smaller computer."And so that’s what’s exciting about quantum computing," he added.

Not surprisingly there was a sustained applause;

while he hadn't explained the theory of relativity, he did tackle the question rather well. Indeed, a senior professor at Perimeter, Dr. Lucien Hardy, toldGlobal Newsit was the first time he saw "a prime minister attempt anything like that. He did a pretty good job of explaining it.

"Trudeau the teacher :-

It actually should not be a surprise Trudeau has such science savvy. As reporter Jim Coyle of theToronto Starpointed out, before Trudeau took up politics as a vocation he "taught at the elementary and high school level in Vancouver. He also studied engineering and started a master’s degree in environmental geography."Prior to his quantum performance Trudeau was already an Internet star thanks to his handsome looks. He's now one for looking good and being smart, with dozens of online news sites reportinghis scientific acumen.

The Best and Worst Foods to Eat Before Bed


Health professionals may debate the benefits of dairy or the best time to exercise, but there’s one thing they all agree on: Sleep is really freaking important.Getting a good night’s sleepis tied to a slew of health benefits, like clarity of thoughts, quicker reflexes, and an improved mood. That means that not getting enough shut-eye can havesome real consequences too, like an out-of-whack appetite (leading to weight gain), growth issues, even a slumping immune system.

And believe it or not, what you eat before bed (and when you eat it) can have a serious impact on your sleep quality.

To help you catch more Z’s, we've compiled exactly what you should (and shouldn't) eat before putting on your PJs to ensure an excellent night of sleep.

Sleep Superstars :-

Tryptophan is magic :-

This amino acid is found in all types of food, including turkey — although it’s not to blame for your Thanksgiving coma. But research shows that foods with tryptophan produce serotonin,which helps promote sleep.

"Many people believe eating foods that contain tryptophan will help induce sleep," says Jessica Redmond, RD. "This recommendation arises frompast research, which has shown that a tryptophan deficiency leads to a serotonin deficiency, and serotonin is one of the hormones that influences our circadian rhythm and sleep patterns. The solution? Eating foods like turkey, soy beans, andpumpkin seeds, which contain decent amounts of tryptophan.”

Adding some whole grains :-

Breads, crackers, pastas, or rice combined with a protein, like turkey, eggs, or low-fat dairy, may be the perfect combination for a pre-sleep snack. “The carbohydrate-containing foods help the tryptophan-rich foods get absorbed by the brain,” says Lindsey Joe, RD.

Consider cherries :-

These guys are one of the few natural sources ofmelatonin, a hormone your body produces that’s often recommended as a sleep aid. One study found that a tart cherry juiceblendhelped older adults struggling with insomnia.

Munch on magnesium :-

Foods high in magnesium, like dark leafy greens and avocado (did someone say late-night guacamole?) may bejust what you need to ease into dreamland. In one study of older adults with insomnia,magnesium had a positive effect on the quality oftheir sleep, like the length of time they slept and their ease in waking up (among other factors).

Sleep Stealers :-

Skip the late-night cup of joe :-

This one isn't a shocker, but it bears repeating. "A good night’s sleep requires a specific formula for success, which can vary from person to person. There are, however, certain foods you should avoid to get maximum Z’s, such as caffeine-containing foods or beverages," Joe says. "Keep yourcaffeine intaketo 200 to 300 mg per day and avoid it close to bedtime." And don’t forget caffeine isn't only lurking in your latte: It can also be found in chocolate, energy drinks, soft drinks, and tea.

Ease up on alcohol :-

Sure, a glass (or two — let’s be honest) of red wine at night may make you feel sleepy, but drinking before bed could actuallydisturb sleep in healthy people. "Be sure to cut back on nightcaps, enjoying no more than one drink per day for ladies and two drinks per day forgents," Joe advises.

Say no to high-fat foods :-

Sorry, but a late-night rendezvous with Ben and Jerry could lead to restlessness in the wee hours. “High-fat foods such as chips, fried foods, or ice cream should be avoided before bed,” advises Lisa Moskovitz, RD. “Fat takes a long time to digest which will keep the body awake, or not well-rested, throughout the [digestion] process.

”What to Pick — and How Much :-

“To help prepare you for sleep, it is best to avoid eating large meals in the hours leading up to bedtime,” Redmond says. “If you have to eat a late dinner, keep the portions a bit smaller than usual." If you're snacking, try putting your food in a bowl, instead of eating it straight out of the package, which can be dangerous territory especially if you're zoned out in front of the TV.

Redmond suggests these snacks to promote a healthful, rested night of sleep:

*.Low-fat milk and whole grain cereal
*.Natural peanut butter on whole wheat bread
*.Yogurt with half a banana and/or one tablespoon of chopped walnuts
*.Two cups plain popcorn with a drizzle of olive oil

The Takeaway :-

Don’t sacrifice a solid night’s sleep to a late-nightsnack attack, but that doesn’t mean you have to go to bed hungry. Awarm glass of milkand somecrackers could be just the trick to punch the clock to sleepy time. If you’re eating near your bedtime, remember these three pointers:

Focus on foods that contain tryptophan (like turkey, eggs, and milk), which can help promote sleep.Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and high-fat foods (damn you, Chunky Monkey!). They'll hinder your ability to count those sheep.If you have to eat right before bed, a eat small meal or pre-portioned snack.

Singapore Half-Boiled Eggs - 100% Pure Egg Perfection!


Before the popularisation of sous vide eggs, we Singaporean has already declared our undying love for these 'Onsen eggs' for years. And insteadof using modern trickery, cooking eggs at precisely 62ÂșC for a soft set white, we relied on simple passed down recipe from our parents - learning the tricks of the trade and the most important 'timing' to yield the quivering whites without the help of technology.

To every self-respecting Singaporean, the ubiquitous half-boiled egg is eggy perfection. This humble breakfast dish is widely available in all Kopitiams (coffeeshops) around the country and is often accompanied by a cup of Kopi-O (black coffee) and somekaya toastto dunk.

Similar to the soft boiled eggs but the Singaporean version has a much runnier, curd-like white. They are cooked in the residing heat from freshly boiled water and never simmered. This allows you to have complete control over the temperature to achieve that desirable just-set egg white with the coddled yolkwaiting to ooze out.

For best results, the choice of eggs are crucial. Use the freshest eggs you can get your hands on.There is no place here for any old battery farmed eggs. Quality is everything. To serve, a dash of soy sauce and a pinch of freshly ground pepper (white is the preferred choice but black will do just fine) is all you need.

Break into the glorious golden yolk, give it a stir tomix and mop it all up with some toast. This is how the mighty lives. Now if only I have somekaya toastas well, that will be pure breakfast perfection.



Ingredients(Serve 1)

2 large free range eggs (I use burford browns but any good quality free range eggs will do)about 1l of watersoy sauce, to serveground white pepper (or black pepper), to serve

Method :-

Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before you start. Otherwise the shock from the sudden temperature change will make them crackopen.

Boil the water in a kettle and pour into a small pan.

Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the water.Place the lid on and let the eggs sit for 6 minutes.

After this time, remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and allow it rest for 30 seconds until cool enough to handle.

Using a teaspoon, give a gentle tap in the middle of the eggs and crack open over a small saucer.

Add a dash of soy sauce and ground pepper to serve.

Mix to combine :-

Dunk with toast and watch the velvety yolk dribble down a happy chin.

7 Normal Fights Even Happy Couples


Fight about:sex


My wife loves hugs. If it were up to her, all we would do is hug. If she could have figured a way tohave had a baby via hugs, that’s how our daughter would have been conceived. I don’t like hugs. It’s this close to being in a headlock. The fact is hugging makes her feel that I care. That I love her not just for her body but for who she is. According to Elizabeth Lombardo, author ofA Happy You: Your Ultimate Prescription for HappinesstoldWoman’s Day,a wife needs to tell her husband, “When you hold my hand orhug me, it reminds me you love me.” Works every time.

Fight about: tv :-

According toMashable.com, the thing couples fight over most is the remote. While that is thoroughly pathetic, I used that statistic as a ploy to distract my wife and steal the remote from her. It didn’t work, because the TVremote is the most important thing in the world to us (see Mashable). And because Jennifer is younger, smaller, quicker, and stronger than me, she was able to weasel the control away from me and keep it glued to the CW channel (Supernatural,TheVampire Diaries,The 100… hello!). But there is a way around this: rotate shows. This is what the Family Simmons now does. Nobody gets to be the Kim Jong Un of the remote all the time. Just some of the times. Jennifergets to choose a show, then I get to choose a show, then our 13-year-old daughter gets to choose one of her lousy shows. Westarted doing this a few years ago during a road trip. Rather than spend the entire time listening to Hannah Montana on a loop,we agreed to take turns. This way, everyone would be equally miserable. Quinn would choose a few songs, then Jennifer got a few that she enjoyed, and then we’d listen to the goodstuff I liked.

Fight about: time with your kids :-


When Quinn was much younger, she could sit and play with her Polly Pocket dolls for hours. And there would be Jennifer seated by her side lining them up, exchanging outfits, creating scenes, and contemplating suicide. Adults who easily get bored playing with Polly Pockets are not bad parents; they’re sane. WhatJennifer wanted wasn’t to stop playing with Quinn. She cherishes her time with our daughter. What she wanted was for me to pick up some of the slack. Relationship expert Marina Sbrochi toldHuffingtonPost.comthat couples need to divvy up the responsibilities. “Sit down with your spouse andgo over your schedule and figure out how to divide and conquer.

Fight about: "nothing" :-


Have you ever asked your spouse what was wrong only to have them respond “Nothing?” Nothing, of course, has the ability to blow up into something. It’soften the result of a festering wound: “You didn’t sign your email with XOX!” “Any number of things can precipitate an unwanted argument: a linguistic habit, resentment,or an emotional state such as boredom,” writes Nando Pelusi, PhD, onPsychologyToday.com. “Phrasing can create misunderstandings.” For example, the words “You didn’t sign your email with XOX!” convey an indictment, says Pelusi. But the words "I love it when you send emails withXOX," convey a desire. And desire is always better thanan indictment.

Fight about: money :-



Here’s the deal: I’m cheap, my wife isn’t. It’s not that she’s a profligate spender. One look at our house or her closet would tell you that. But she isn’t counting pennies. That’s because I’m hoarding the pennies. And the nickels and the dimes, and so forth. I’m a veritable Scrooge McDuck, and at times this differencehas made us so angry we refused to sign our emails with XOX. But Gilda Carle, PhD, writing forMatch.com, had a nifty idea. Couples should set up three bank accounts, “A 'You' account, a 'Me' account and a 'We' account,” she wrote. This way, both of us feel free to spend or not spend as much money as we like, while having one account that “bonds” us together.

Fight about: bathroom behavior :-



For some reason, Jennifer doesn’t find endearing the fact that my loose hair finds its way in every nook and cranny of the bathroom. She also doesn’tlike that I don’t flush every time (“We could suffer a drought any day now!” I tellher). I, on the other hand, can’t fathom what she’s doing behind a locked bathroom door for 30 minutes. These are bathroom issues, truly the most basics of problems. There’s one way to handle such issues, according to Dr. Carle: with humor. Crack a gentle joke that gets your point across. After all, she writes, “laughter accelerates and maintains the romance.”

Fight about: house guests :-


There’s an old saying that goes, “House guests are like cheese. After a while they get moldy, stinky, and taste good melted over ham.” While having guests can be fun, it’s a lot of work: cleaning the house, shopping, cooking, keepingeveryone entertained. And the worst house guest is one that doesn’t come withan expiration date. Since house guests can eat up your groceries as well as your goodwill, you should consider the following before you commit to host duty, suggests Briana Ford,onBlackandMarriedWithKids.com: Can you afford for them to stay with you? How long are they staying? Is your spouse okay with having a guest? Are you okay with having a guest? Probably the most important point here is a question you need to ask your guests the moment they arrive: “When are you getting the hell out of here?” Once you understand that it’s a firm date, both you and your spouse will be able to see the finish line, which should make matters easier. And, of course, divvy up the duties so that both of you bear the pain and benefits of having a guest.

How to Earn money from Internet?

Honestly, there are hundreds of ways and when you search online, you will find many legit and many scam source. I highly recommend you to stay away from those programs, which asksyou to make initial investment to start using their money making program. Like form filling, ad clicking and so on. Here I’m listing those money making methods for internet users, whichare easy to use and works. Few of them will require you to have certain skills like Good communication, good writing andso on. So, lets get on with our list:

1. Article Writing Service :-

Bloggers and webmasters are always looking for new and unique content for their blogs and websites. Digital point forums can be a good place to start though its full of scammers and spammers, but still you can make decent income writing articles. You will be paid $2-$10 per article depending on the quality of articles. Generally, you’ll be instructed on the quality of articles, niche, number of words etc while making a deal.

2. Writing Blog Reviews And Paid Posts :-

If you have a blog which already gets decent traffic and haspagerankatleast one, you can offer posts on your blog with in-content links to your client’s website. Pagerank is not so important now but it increases the market value of your blog. Remember to review good products, businesses and websites only. It’s again zero-investment income if you are using free blog hosting service of blogger or wordpress.

3. Guest Posting For Your Clients :-

It can make you earn a lot. Guest posting has great benefits in terms of traffic, exposure, credibility and recognition from search engines. Just imagine how much can you charge if you have the calibre to get a guest post approved on problogger! Your clients will pay you thousands of dollars.Though, I think its stupid to do for others. It’s just too valuable. But, if you are in much need of cash, try it.

4. Affiliate Marketing :-

Promote your affiliate products inezinearticles posts, other article directories and blogs which may allowaffiliate links. If you do it properly, if you can drive traffic toyour affiliate link and if people are impressed with what you are saying, you can make decent income. After reading your write-up visitors should feel inclined to try a few dollars product which you are promoting and doesn’t harm anybody.

5.Blog CommentingService :-

Most bloggers don’t know which blogs allow auto-approved comments. There are thousands of high pagerank and traffic blogs which allow auto-approved comments. Do research on the internet, make a huge list and start commenting service for other bloggers. Or just sell the list. You can similarly sell the list of do-follow comment blogs, commentluv plugin enabled blogs, top-commentator plugin enabled blogs etc. Bloggers will be happy to pay you a few dollarsfor the list. Use forums to sell your list.

6. Become A Broker For Webmasters And Website Owners :-

Earn commission by getting themclients who pay for advertisement. Join webmasters forums and contact itraders to get this kind of work. These are all free ways to make money online and survive anyhow. Personally, I won’t recommend anything other than points 1, 2 and 4.Also remember to keep balance between time spent on your mainmoney blog and doing odd jobs online. Odd jobs must not divide your attention and cut-in the time needed to work on your main money blog.

How to Attract Girls


When you go shopping, go to school, go to sporting events, go to concerts, and so on, do you see girls whom youwould like to know better? Here are some steps that should help you attract girls.

Method
Making Her Happy :-

1. Get to know her :-

Talk to her and listen to her. Ask her about her family and where she grew up, her religion and politics, and what she likes to do for fun. Don’t be critical or rude about her answers: they are hers, not yours! Respect her ideas, her opinions, and her beliefs. Girls like it when you treat them like people. If you want girls to find you attractive, respecting them as people is a great place to start.

*.For example :-
ask her about her favorite hobby, and then ask her how she got in to that hobby. This is a great way to work into talking about where and how she grew up, her family, etc.

2. Find things you have in common.

She likes Metallica….you like Metallica…..bam! You now havesomething to talk about! Ask her about the music she listens to, the movies she watches, and the thingsshe does in her spare time. Find some common ground and you will have a great way to get to know each other and bond.

3. Be a good friend :-

If we guaranteed you wouldn’t get friend-zoned, we’d be lying. But being friends with a girl and showing her what a wonderful person you are is the best way to attract her. Show her how happy she’d be with you and then see how much happier you arewith her.

*.Be supportive when she is having a hard day, help take her mind off of her problems, be available when she needs help, and listen toher when she talk

4. Don’t be a creeper :-

Don’t stare at her and then avoid eye contact. Don’t hover around her and then never actually manage to say anything. Don’t stare at….certain parts of her anatomy (however tempting). Don’t make weird sexual advances if you don’t know her welland definitely don’t use pick up lines. Things like this will freak her out and definitely make you a lot less attractive.
