Interesting Facts about Girl, Guys Have To Know This.

The opposite sex can be very confusing when you’re used to a certain way of thinking. However, girls don’t have to stay confusing. Use these interesting facts about girls to expand your knowledge on the opposite sex. You’ll likely discover that knowledge really is power when it comes to dealing with women. Take a course in dating, and have better success when approaching the opposite sex.

Thoughts

A girl’s mind is a confusing place, as even a girl can tell you. If you’re looking for some insight into a girl’s mind, consider these interesting facts below.

Girls don’t always say what’s really on their mind.

More often than not, what a girl says is not what’s really on her mind. This is because she wants a guy to chase after her and try to find out what she really means. Going after a girl really makes her feel like you care enough about what she’s really thinking. If you really want to know what’s on her mind, focus on the hints she drops. Also, focus on what she’s not saying – read her body language.

Girls always think they could look prettier.

Twenty-first century media has presented an image of women who are thin, flawless, and sexy. Not all women come in such a perfect package, and girls frequently feel like they fall short of this distorted view on a woman’s beauty. You should always make sure your girl knows that she’s beautiful. Take an interest in her outfit, and compliment her natural beauty.

Feelings

Girls are the more emotional of the genders, but they also tend not to say anything about how they truly feel. They’ll say the opposite of what they’re really feeling, and their emotions have a tendency to get away from them. Here are a few key facts to look out for when trying to decide how your girl is feeling.

Girls will often answer “Are you okay?” in the opposite way of how they really feel.

Yes, movies joke about the ominous answer of “I’m fine” when a man asks her girl if she’s okay. Chances are, if the two of you were recently fighting, she doesn’t feel like things are settled. Your best bet for translating “I’m fine” is to think of it as, “How do you think I feel after that, you jerk?” Always try to figure out what you can do to really make things better between the two of you because girls will let things fester, and a small argument will turn into a huge blowout.

Girls usually get embarrassed far more easily than men.

The one thing you never want to do when your girl is embarrassed is tell her that it’s no big deal. It’s a big deal to her, and that’s all that should really matter to you too. Just listen to her, and try to understand why she was so embarrassed. Showing that her feelings are important to you will definitely win you brownie points in her eyes.

Girls will frequently answer “What’s wrong?” with “Nothing,” which is usually a lie.

One of the best ways to find out if she’s lying is to read her body language. If she’s smiling and seems relaxed, she’s serious when she means nothing’s wrong. However, if she looks tense, and she’s refusing to look at you or avoiding contact, it means that something is in fact wrong. Try to talk to her, and ask her about it. Letting her fester will only make the problem worse.

Girls have strong emotions.

Don’t ever break your girl’s heart. If you do, things will never completely be the same again. Just as her strong emotions can be a bad thing if you make a mistake, however, they can work to your advantage if you’re a good guy. Maybe you have a stutter that you’re nervous about, or you might not really understand style. Your girl will completely overlook those small flaws because she’s in love.

Desires

Pleasing your girl could be very simple. They love nicknames and gifts, but they also love taking care of their guy. Here’s some more information on making a girl happy by fulfilling her desires.

12 facts about Narendra Modi (Namo)

Narendra Modi is India’s 15th prime minister, winning the largest democratic election of all time, and securing the largest mandate any Indian prime minister has won since 1984.

He is succeeding Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of the Congress Party, who was in power for 10 years and was widely criticized for his inaction. Modi defeated his competitor Rahul Gandhi in a landslide election.

2. Modi is a Hindu nationalist.

Modi's political and cultural ideology stems from "Hindutva" – a hardline brand of Hindu nationalism – followed by his party, the BJP.

The BJP's election manifesto specified that India will welcome "persecuted Hindus," and vowed to build a temple on disputed grounds where a mosque was destroyed by right-wing Hindus. The BJP also plans to cut down beef exports as the cow is considered sacred to Hindus.

3. Narendra Modi is seen as pro-business and pro-development.

Modi has modeled himself as the "Development Man" and has been endorsed by some of the world's richest Indian businessmen. He has attracted huge investments in his home state of Gujarat where the economy has grown 10% a year, higher than the Indian average, for much of the last decade.

Supporters credit him with improving infrastructure and governance, while detractors believe his pro-business agenda excludes poor minorities and ignores social problems.

4. Modi’s approach to women’s issues is unclear.

While BJP's manifesto recognizes the importance of women's development and security, his personal and political approach to women is ambiguous.

His wife of 46 years was kept a secret until now, his top aides are all men, he has only two women in his state cabinet of 19 ministers, and his state's record on women's issues is at best, mixed, and at worst, dismal.

5. Modi was denied a visa to the United States in 2005, but has been granted one since being elected Prime Minister.

The U.S. government has denied Modi a visa since nine years for his failure as a leader of the state of Gujarat to stop deadly communal riots which killed over 1,000 people, mainly Muslims.

While Modi's recent meeting with U.S. Ambassador to India Nancy Powell was an indicator of restoring U.S.–India ties, top American officials remained silent on the issue of his visa.

On the day of his election, the White House said Modi "will be welcomed" into the United States. He is now eligible for an A1 visa, which heads of states use to travel into the United States.

6. Modi loves technology, Twitter, and selfies.

Social media and technology played a large role in Modi's campaign. He is an avid tweeter with nearly 4 million followers. He joined the election selfie trend, he blogged, and he appeared as a hologram at several rallies in his efforts to portray the BJP as a progressive, technocratic party that can lead India into the 21st century.

Since being elected, Modi has tweeted at several heads of state and, so far, seems to be using social media to facilitate transparent decision-making.

7. Modi’s party thinks homosexuality is “unnatural.”

While Modi has been resolutely silent on the issue of homosexuality and LGBT rights, the BJP is the only major party to support the Supreme Court's decision of recriminalizing homosexuality.

In the above picture, Modi hugging the Indian yoga guru Baba Ramdev who strongly believes that homosexuality is a disease he can cure.

8. Modi was chief minister of Gujarat during the western state’s 2002 communal riots in which hundreds of Muslims were killed.

Modi was cleared of any wrongdoing in an investigation ordered by the Indian Supreme Court. However, he continues to be questioned by the liberal and international media about his failure to stop the horrific sectarian violence and his refusal to apologize for it.

In a 2002 New York Times interview, Modi said his only regret was that he did not handle the news media better.

9. Modi is a powerful orator and an articulate speaker.

Modi's provocative speeches and impactful delivery make him one of India's most effective public speakers in politics. In interviews, he is measured and articulate. Although he understands English, he is not comfortable speaking it.

However, he has been criticized for his his unapologetic stance on the Gujarat riots, and for backing out of interviews that don't align with his agenda.

10. Modi admires China and vice versa.

Modi visited China four times during his tenure as Gujarat's chief minister and has successfully courted Chinese investments in the state. China expects Modi to be "pragmatic" and have a "more flexible" economic policy toward the country.

11. Modi has a thrilling backstory: from tea seller to prime minister.

John Oliver recently spoke about Modi's incredible rise to power, while berating the U.S. for ignoring the Indian elections: "Modi sold tea in a railway station, and now he’s the most popular man in the country — don’t pretend you’re not interested in this, America. Last time you heard a rags-to-riches story about a tea-selling Indian kid, you threw a fucking Oscar at it."

12. Modi has become a cult-like figure, revered and reviled in equal measure.

Modi has been India's most divisive prime ministerial candidate. He is idolized by the majority of Hindus who form 80% of the country's population and is well-respected for his decisive, business-like approach to politics.

He has also inspired fear and loathing among the country's minorities, the liberal media, and left-leaning intelligentsia who view him as a dictatorial, conservative authoritarian.

9 Interesting Facts About Puberty

1. Puberty is not be confused with adolescence. Puberty is the physiological growth and anatomical development that take place when the pituitary gland releases growth hormones.

2. If you're off to an early start or an unusually late one, relax. Everyone develops according to his/her own personal biological clock. Girls start developing as early as 9 or as late as 15. Boys can start as early as 10 and can continue through 17 or 18. (Many women maintain that men continue their puberty well into their 40's.)

3. Boys can experience growth spurts practically overnight, resulting in sudden maladjustment in motor-coordination skills. This accounts for a clumsy/awkward phase that many guys suffer through. This, too, shall pass.

4. Most girls experience their first vaginal discharge in the form of menstruation, which continues naturally on a monthly cycle. Boys experience their first discharge in the form of a "wet dream".

5. The general puberty sequence followed by girls is: breast development, pubic hair, growth spurt, menstruation, and, finally armpit hair (which you may shave or style with mousse. Joke, girls.) Boys follow a different sequence: genital development, pubic hair, a general growth spurt, ejaculation (wet dream), followed by a voice change. Facial and body hair become more prominent later, to finally justify the voice.
Remember that these are just general guidelines. Your unique body may be developing in a different order.

6. Acne severity is genetic. There is no evidence to support that chocolate or fried foods provoke breakouts. However, chocolate or fried foods can produce chunky thighs.

7. Exercise and good nutrition are pivotal during puberty. The body has shifted into high gear and is working overtime in order to accommodate the puberty cycle - it needs to be food-fueled responsibly. Moderate exercise is key in maintaining your changing body in good shape.

8. Seemingly "adult" health concerns, such as high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and cholesterol levels find their roots in the early teen years. Attention should be paid to limiting high fat and sugar content and empty calorie foods.

9. In late old age, secondary sex characteristics surface in many elderly men and women. Women can grow facial hair and men can start developing breasts! (An amazing but true fact!)........

Facts about Eight planets

Eight Planets

1. Mercury is hot but it might have ice Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and is one of the hottest planets in the Solar System, but it may contain ice. Mercury slowly rotates around the Sun, exposing all of its sides to the Sun’s relentless rays, so it seems hard to imagine where the ice could remain solid. Scientists speculate that the ice is located in craters near the poles of the planet. These craters are deep enough and close enough to the top of the planet to keep the ice out of direct sunlight.

2. There’s definitely water on Mars (ice, anyway)
Mars has always captivated the imagination of writers and scientists alike. Ever since canals and canyons were discovered on the planet’s surface, the search for water on Mars has been ongoing. You may be surprised to know that scientists have discovered water on Mars, although it does not come in liquid form. This discovery was first detected by the NASA’s spacecraft Odyssey. In 2008, the presence of water on Mars was confirmed by the NASA’s Phoenix. The Phoenix Lander collected samples of what was later determined to be water ice. The patch that the Phoenix Lander collected its samples from was termed the “Snow Queen” by scientists.

3. Venus is actually the hottest planet in the Solar System
Even though Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in our Solar System. Venus’s thick atmosphere traps the heat from the Sun, a kind of greenhouse effect, and retains it. Sulfuric acid and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are compounds that help trap the heat. The temperature on Venus is about 465°C (870°F). Venus’s extreme temperatures and toxic atmosphere make it an unlikely place for the existence of life.

4. Jupiter’s big. No, really really big. And massive too.
Jupiter has the most mass of any planet in the Solar System. You may be wondering exactly how massive this planet is. Not only is Jupiter’s mass 318 times the mass of the Earth, but it is also two and a half times the mass of all the planets in the entire Solar System. Even though the planet is massive, it has a density lower than Earth’s. This causes Jupiter to have a gravity approximately two and a half times greater than Earth’s gravity.

5. And yet, Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet
Despite Jupiter’s large mass, it is the fastest planet to complete a full axial rotation. It takes just under ten hours for the planet to do a full rotation. As a result of its extreme speed, Jupiter has actually flattened at both ends and expanded in the middle like a ball that is being compressed between someone’s hands.

6. The Earth’s magnetic field protects it
Earth has a magnetic field with magnetic poles close to the North and South geographic poles. This magnetic field is so strong that its influence reaches thousands of kilometers from the surface of the Earth to the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is one of the reasons why life can exist on Earth. It acts as a kind of shield, diverting harmful radiation from the Sun away from the Earth where it would severely damage, if not destroy, life. Scientists theorize that the currents of the Earth’s liquid outer core cause this magnetic field.

7. Our view of Saturn’s rings are constantly changing
Saturn is famous for its distinctive rings that were first seen by Galileo in the beginning of the 17th century. Saturn’s rings, which can be seen with the unaided eye from Earth, sometimes disappear from sight. Every 14 to 15 years in its orbit around the Sun, Saturn turns a specific way. At that angle, the planet’s rings become so thin viewed from Earth that they seem to simply disappear.

8. Uranus is flipped over on its side
Uranus is the only planet to rotate on its side; it rotational tilt is very strong – approximately 97.9°. Uranus’ unique tilt results in extreme seasonal changes. The planet goes through seasonal cycles of 21 years each. There are 21 years of a normal night and day cycle on Uranus, which is followed by 21 years of day in the Northern Hemisphere. After another normal 21-year period, there are 21 years of night in the Northern Hemisphere. Then the planet begins its cycle all over again.

9. And Uranus is the coldest place in the Solar System
Uranus, the second furthest planet from the Sun, is the coldest planet in our Solar System. That distinction used to belong to Pluto , which was the ninth planet until it was reduced to the status of dwarf planet. Uranus’ temperature can drop to -224°C, which is less than -371°F. Those kind of drastically cold temperatures seem unimaginable. Even though it is closer to the Sun than Neptune, it is colder than the final planet. Uranus’ extreme temperature is a result of its core. Unlike the other planets, Uranus actually releases less heat than it absorbs from the Sun because its core is much cooler than the cores of the other planets.

10. Neptune has the fastest winds of any of the eight planets.
The winds on Neptune reach at least 2,100 km per hour and are capable of ripping buildings to shreds. Considering the strongest hurricanes, such as Hurricane Andrew, only have winds exceeding 251 km per hour, Neptune’s winds are incredibly powerful. Scientists are not certain how the planet’s winds can be that fast, but some believe it is due to a combination of frigid temperatures and Neptune’s atmosphere

How to Attract a Smart Teenage Girl

How to Attract a Smart Teenage Girl
Ever wonder what smart teenage girls like? Here's what they (often) look for in a guy. Fortunately, you're in luck. Smart girls are people too, and they are not impervious to a good smile.

Steps#

1-Good News you don't have to be an honor student to get a smart girl in high school! Smart girls are attracted to more than just smart boys. Be yourself and act mature. You may be surprised by the results!

2-Be Mature, smart girls like mature boys. Making jokes about farting, getting hit in the crotch, or laughing unnecessarily loud when someone else makes a joke in bad taste is not appreciated. However, if she laughs, go ahead and join her.

3-Watch Their Language, smart girls swear too, but they are not impressed by excessive "F-bombs" or other rude or sexual language. Crude jokes make you sound dumb and not worth her time. We don't want that now, do we?

4-Dress Well. This does not mean labels, necessarily, but nice, neat, good clothing is great. Most smart girls are going to look beyond the label, but they will not, however, like bad clothes.

5-Be Fit. Health is a big deal for intelligent girls. Most of them will be interested in taking part in sports, or at least exercising. They will be impressed if you take good care of your body.

6-Don't Try Too Hard you don't need to act really macho all the time. It's cute for a bit, but when it's overdone, it is awful. Smart girls will look inside, and will find showing off aggravating. Act natural.

7-Don't Be Too Helpful acting overly chivalrous to the wrong girl is endlessly annoying. Holding doors and offering chairs are great, but if she says "no thanks," take the hint! She may find it offensive and irritating if you don't!......

Tips-
Be yourself. This cannot be stressed enough! Smart girls are not impressed by showing off, labels, and endless foul language. They are looking for the guy inside.

How to prepare for AIPMT

AIPMT stands for "All India Pre Medical Test" and is an examination which is held annually in India. CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) conducts this examination. This examination is held for the students hoping to seek admission in MBBS and BDS courses in various medical colleges in the country.

Preparation Tips for All India Pre Medical Test

Tip #1

The AIPMT is a two level examination. The first level of which consist of 200 multiple choice questions, out of which 100 are from Biology. Whereas the second level (given by only those candidates who clear the first level) consist of 20 questions of five marks each and 100 multiple questions. So one should practice the model MCQ's well.

Tip #2

One of the most important topics for any PMT exam is Biology. 100 out of 200 multiple choice questions in AIPMT first level is from Biology. Candidates appearing for AIPMT should be thorough with Biology.

Tip #3

Candidates should prepare from a number of books and study material but they should not confuse and strain themselves by leaving one book incomplete and starting a new one. They should take up one book at a time and study is thoroughly.

Tip #4

Though 50% of the exam consists of Biology, Physics and Chemistry should not be neglected. Candidates may study NCERT books for both.

Tip #5

One should make a revising pattern which suits one's brain and capacity and should not blindly follow other's schedule. It is always good to have the formulas and key points handy (i.e. all written on a small paper together which can be revised time to time).

Tip #6

Time management is one technique students appearing for any and every exam should learn. AIPMT first level has 200 questions which are to be attempted in 3 hours that is 180 minutes, which leaves only about 50-55 seconds per questions. A candidate should not waste time on the questions which appear difficult to them or which they are unable to solve, instead they should move further.

Tip #7

One should not panic or take stress if he/she happens to miss some questions that are a part of an exam. Even the toppers don't know 10-15% of questions. So it's absolutely okay to move forward if a question is time-consuming in order to attempt the remaining. Panic and stress is the number one killer of scoring marks.

Tip #8

Mock-Tests and sample papers are one of the best to practice. One should go for the last 5-10 years question papers for practice. It not only gives a good practice but also gives an idea to the students about how the question paper is going to be.

Tip #9

Though mock test are important, practicing them is more effective if they are done at the end of the preparation. First the candidate should finish his/her preparation and then go for these mock-papers and improve gradually.

Tip #10

After preparation, one should concentrate on improving the strike rate and accuracy rate by practicing more.

Top 10 University of the world

1. Harvard University
From extremely modest beginnings in 1782, when it opened with just three students, the Harvard Medical School (HMS) has produced thousands of leaders and caregivers with international influence in the fields of science and medicine. It boasts nine Nobel prizes shared between fifteen researchers; one of the most recent going to Linda Buck in 2004 for her discovery of “odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system”. Scientists from HMS and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (one of the 17 hospitals and research institutions that HMS is affiliated with) have recently published promising results relating to the development of a personalized tumor vaccine for leukemia patients.

2. University of Oxford
Oxford Medicine has collected sixteen Nobel prizes over the years, one shared in 1945 between Sir Howard W Florey, Sir Ernst Chain and Sir Alexander Fleming “for the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect in various infectious diseases”.

Other notable people include Professor Adrian Harris who “pioneered drug therapies based on blocking the blood supply to tumors”; Professor Peter Donnelly for his work in identifying genetic risk factors for breast cancer, and Professor Herman Waldmann for the development of an antibody therapy for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

3. University of Cambridge
Of its 26 affiliated Laureates in the field of medicine, one of Cambridge’s most popular Nobel Prize winners is Sir John B Gurdon, “for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent”. The Department of Medicine’s most recent published achievement is the production of a full three-dimensional model of the structure of an HIV RNA packaging signal, which had previously only been solved in small regions because of technological limitations. The report says that the model can be used as a foundation upon which to base the design of new anti-HIV drugs.

4. Johns Hopkins University
The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine was founded in 1893, four years after the opening of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, which has been ranked number 1 for 21 years in a row by the US News & World Report. Affiliates and faculty of Johns Hopkins Medicine have collected 19 Nobel prizes so far. Latest research includes studies on preventing type 2 diabetes; the formation of new blood vessels from stem cells; and the identification of exercise as a risk factor for heart failure in people with the genetic mutation ARVD/C (arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy).

5. Stanford University
The Stanford School of Medicine claims four Nobel Laureates in total, including faculty and affiliates. Recently published research includes the creation of a bioengineered peptide that acts like a “molecular flashlight”, allowing for the outlines of a tumor to be highlighted with a high degree of accuracy, and also allowing for areas to be targeted for drug delivery. Researchers have also identified a potential new culprit for Alzheimer’s and aging, a protein called C1q, already well-known as an initiator of immune responses.

6. Yale University
The Yale School of Medicine was founded in 1810, making it the sixth oldest medical school in the US. Dr George E Palade from the institution shared a Nobel Prize with two others in 1974 "for their discoveries concerning the structural and functional organization of the cell". Yale researchers were the first to use chemotherapy to treat cancer, and the first to identify Lyme disease. Recent research has included the discovery of a technique for tracking electrical activity in the brain by inserting fluorescent proteins into neurons, which are then recorded by optical sensors as they respond to changes in electrical signals.

7. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is only half a century old, yet ranks alongside other institutions twice its age. Faculty member Louis J Ignarro shared a Nobel Prize in 1998 with two others for "discoveries concerning nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system". Recently published research is about the effectiveness of fish oil at “reversing liver disease in children with intestinal failure who require intravenous nutrition”, when taken for six months.

8. Imperial College London
The Imperial College Faculty of Medicine brings eight major West London medical schools together into one institution. The Faculty has five affiliated Laureates, including Sir Alexander Fleming who shared the prize with two others in 1945 for the discovery of penicillin. Researchers have recently published the findings of a study into an “intelligent knife” that can tell if tissue it comes into contact with is cancerous or not. They have also published research into the metabolites a tumor produces at different stages, making it possibly to determine what stage it is at with a high degree of accuracy.

9. University of Melbourne
The Melbourne Medical School was the first to educate doctors in Australia, with the first starting their training in 1862. Three alumni have won the Nobel Prize for Medicine, including the first Australian female Laureate, Elizabeth Blackburn, who won in 2009 for "the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase". Researchers from the university have recently developed and tested a device that can be implanted in the brain to predict epileptic seizures.

10. Karolinska Institute
The Karolinska Institute is a medical university that accounts for almost half of all medical academic research in Sweden. It houses the Nobel Assembly, which has been selecting the Laureates in Physiology or Medicine since 1901. This means that five of those Laureates were selected very close to home, including two Institute affiliates in 1982 “for their discoveries concerning prostaglandins and related biologically active substances". Guest Professor of Regenerative Surgery at the Institute, Paolo Macchiarini, performed the first two trachea replacement surgeries using manufactured organs in 2011. Ongoing research includes vaccines for all sorts of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, hepatitis C, tuberculosis and HIV. 

How to Look and Act Country (For Girls)

Country fashion is comfortable, neat and stylish all rolled into one. Add in country grace and manners, and it's a style many are opting to adopt, showing off openly their love of and pride for all things country.

Part One of Four:
Getting the country fashion style

1-Find some "country looking" clothes. Wearing denim (jean material) is always good and slightly loose jeans. Most importantly, country girls like looking casual and comfy, and they don't wear really tight clothing.
Choose plaid shirts. These can be sourced from anywhere, such Walmart, online, etc.
Wear plain colored shirts, or shirts with minimal designs. Country girls don't go "all out" with wacky patterns.
Another country thing is "Guy Harvey shirts."

2-Try to get a pair of hard sole shoes. For example: cowgirl boots, they are always nice to have and get a pair of rubber boots in case you want to work outside.
Take your shoes off when you have a chance; bare feet are also acceptable for the country style.

3-Get utilitarian gear. Every country guy or girl owns camo for hunting. She also owns a pair of good boots, either for riding, show, work, or hunting.

4-Look for country brands. At your local western store, they'll have brands like Dixie Girls and Guy Harvey. Be sure to buy both casual and show clothes, style very being country too! Be sure to find your signature look. Also you can visit cabelas.com countrygirlstore.com drysdales.com cavenders.com for more clothing options.

5-Choose suitable accessories. Country girls are actually very girlish. When accessorizing, choose shiny things. Pink is also okay.

6-For girls, country girls usually wear minimal make-up. A small bit of eye liner, lip balm, and one to two coats of mascara (if you already have dark eye lashes, skip the eye liner) is the most you'll need. Cover up is okay too if you really need it. Don't overdo it, or else you'll look too preppy and people will think you're a poser.

Part Two of Four:
Being country

1-Be proud to be a country girl. When people say, "I hate the country," don't get flustered or upset, but be friendly and act nice, so others would have nothing to hold against you.

2-Be thoughtful, kind and pleasant towards others. Personality matters. You don't need to have an accent to be country, but you need to act like you're southern. Be happy/bubbly (even if you're having a bad day) and smile at everyone. Use southern hospitality, and plenty of niceness.

3-Use your manners. Always say "please" and "thank you". Always say "yes ma'am" or "no ma'am".

4-Reach out to others. Country girls have big hearts. They love volunteering and helping their community. And they love their country.
Feed the homeless. Take along your home grown and baked produce.

Part Three of Four:
Pursuing country activities

1-Learn the country music. Every country girl loves her country music.

2-Pursue activities and sports that country girls usually like. These include watching and playing football, fishing, and Mudding. This doesn't mean they can't be girlish though! Girlishness actually complements your country girl attitude.

3-If you're old enough to drive, a truck or Jeep Wrangler is the most "country you can get," "jackin" it up too (getting lifts). i.e. Ford F150, GMC Sierra, Chevy S10, Bronco, Blazer.

4-If you're in high-school, take shop and/or agriculture and FFA is a good club to join too. Also, if you're not in high school(or just don't want to join high school clubs, check out girl scouts or a 4H club in your area)

5-Country people are also hard workers and love to get dirty. Go outside and mow the lawn or help your dad on the car etc.

6-Learn to cook. The kitchen is the most sacred place in the house. Country folks love to cook from fried food, smoked food, breakfast, and dessert.

Part Four of Four:
Compassionate country

1-Learn to love animals. Just about every country girl loves horses. Dogs and cats make good pets, in pairs or threes. If you've lots of space, consider fostering animals too.

2-Treat your man right. If you want to date a country man, make sure you treat him great and with respect. But don't be his doormat. Never take any crap from him, and make sure he treats you with just as much respect. If he doesn't, he's not worth a girl like you...….

Top 10 Wealthiest People in the World: 2014 Edition

In March, Forbes published its 2014 Billionaires List and reported that, unsurprisingly, the world’s richest are only getting richer. This year, the Forbes global wealth team uncovered 1,645 billionaires with an aggregate net worth of $6.4 trillion, which is up from $5.4 trillion a year ago. They also illuminated a record of 268 new ten-figure fortunes, including 42 new female billionaires, another record. Forbes now has 172 women on the list, compared to 138 last year, and more than ever before.

The Forbes Billionaires List ranks individuals rather than large, multi-generational families who share large fortunes, and the 2014 edition is based on estimates from a “snapshot” of wealth on February 12. Today, we’ll highlight the top ten that made Forbes’s list and also some billionaires who made major gains within the past year. One such newly minted billionaire is Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg — the company’s COO joined the ranks for the first time this year, along with Facebook’s vice president Jeffrey Rothschild. In addition, the social network’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg was the year’s biggest dollar gainer, according to Forbes, and his fortune jumped $15.2 billion to $28.5 billion as shares of Facebook surged. Forbes’s 2014 list evidences that technology is the most popular vehicle of extreme wealth, and the publication reports that four of twenty-six billionaire newcomers attribute their fortunes to technology.

The U.S. has the most billionaires in the world with 492 representatives, followed by China with 152, and Russia with 111. Who is responsible for all of this incredible wealth? Let’s find out. Here are the top ten 2014 billionaires, according to Forbes:

10. Jim Walton

First up is Jim Walton, the youngest son of Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart Stores. Walton is currently worth $34.7 billion, which is $3 billion more than his worth according to the 2013 ranking, and on the 2013 Forbes 400 list of the richest people in America, Walton ranked seventh. Walton is on the Wal-Mart Board of Directors, replacing his brother in 2005, and he is also the CEO of his family-owned Arvest Bank.

9. Christy Walton

Staying in the family, the next person on our list is Christy Walton. Walton is the only woman who makes Forbes’ top-ten billionaires list, but she finishes with flying colors at a net worth of $36.7 billion — $2 billion more than her brother-in-law. Walton is the widow of John Walton, one of the sons of Sam Walton, and after his death in June 2005 she inherited his fortune of $18.2 billion. Walton is no stranger to the richest people rankings, as she was listed as the sixth-richest person in the United States, and the tenth-richest person in the world in November 2013, according to Forbes.

Though the bulk of her money comes from her shares in Wal-Mart, her husband also invested in First Solar, which she is reaping in money from. Walton has been recognized time and time again for her impressive philanthropic efforts, and along with a number of other commitments, she supports her family’s own charitable foundation, the Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation, which funds education.

8. Sheldon Adelson

Sheldon Adelson has a net worth of $38 billion, putting him eighth on Forbes’ top billionaires 2014 list. Chairman and chief executive officer of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, the American business magnate has made the bulk of his fortune from the casino business but he also owns the Israeli daily newspaper Israel HaYom. Though a controversial figure in the public eye, Adelson has been recognized for his commitment to charity and his support of his own philanthropy, the Adelson Foundation.

The billionaire also supports The Adelson Educational Campus in Las Vegas and the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Medical Research Foundation.

6. David Koch

David Koch, the American businessman who co-owns Koch Industries, the conglomerate that is the second-largest privately held company in the United States, is tied for sixth with his older brother, Charles. Worth $40 billion, Koch was recognized as the wealthiest person in New York in 2013. Koch wears many hats, including that of a businessman, philanthropist, political activist, and engineer. Known for his love of the arts, he is a regular contributor to charities like Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History’s David H. Koch Dinosaur Wing, and he also has used his power in the political sphere by donating to political advocacy groups and campaigns.

6. Charles Koch

Tied with his brother for Forbes’ sixth spot is Charles Koch, the business partner of David. Also worth $40 billion (surprise!), Charles’s story is very similar to David’s — although he is the official chief executive officer of Koch Industries, whereas David is the executive vice president. The two brothers inherited the business from their father and have since expanded its size exponentially. Like his younger brother, Koch is also a champion of many charitable organizations, and his biggest focuses are the Institute for Humane Studies, the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, and the Cato Institute. His wife also founded the Koch Cultural Trust, which funds artistic projects and creative artists.

5. Larry Ellison

Next up is the big man on the tech campus, Larry Ellison, chief executive officer of Oracle. According to Forbes’ list, Ellison is worth $48 billion, $8 billion more than the Koch brothers. He was named the third wealthiest man in America last year. Aside from his focus on Oracle and several other corporations he has stakes in, including Salesforce.com, NetSuite, Quark Biotechnology, and Astex Pharmaceuticals.

Ellison has been recognized for his commitment to philanthropic efforts, and was also one of the billionaires in 2010 to sign the “The Giving Pledge,” a campaign that emboldens the wealthiest people in the world to make a commitment to give most of their wealth to philanthropic causes. The campaign was made public by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

4. Warren Buffett

Speaking of Buffett, he is next as the fourth-richest billionaire on Forbes’s list, coming in at a net worth of $58.2 billion and easily upsetting Ellison’s figure. Long known as one of the world’s wealthiest people, Buffet is best known for his impressive prowess in investing in the 20th century, and now he is still riding out that success. The business magnate and investor is chairman, CEO, and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, and he has not only been recognized as one of the richest people in the world, but also the most influential, thanks to the power he wields over the companies he maintains stakes in. Buffett is also a philanthropist and has pledged to give away 99 percent of his fortune, especially evidenced by his efforts to establish the aforementioned “Giving Pledge.”

3. Amancio Ortega

Holding his ground in third is a Spanish businessman, Amancio Ortega, who is worth $64 billion thanks to his success in retail. Ortega is founding chairman of the Inditex fashion group, the Spanish clothing company headquartered in Arteixo, Spain, that is made up of almost a hundred companies. Inditex is best known for its chain of Zara clothing and accessories retail shops. Last year, Ortega was was ranked the third richest person in the world by Forbes with a net worth of $57 billion, but that figure has increased by $7 billion now, and he holds his own as the third richest billionaire, despite having announced his retirement from Inditex in 2011.

2. Carlos Slim Helu

Sorry, Carlos Slim Helu, close but no cigar. The billionaire who just misses the first-place distinction is the business magnate who held the title of richest person in the world from 2010 to 2013, but surrendered it this year. The Mexican businessman and philanthropist has his hand in a number of Mexican companies via his conglomerate, Grupo Carso, SA de CV, and Helu is the chairman and chief executive of telecommunications companies Telmex and América Móvil.

As for his philanthropic efforts, the billionaire established Fundación Telmex, a broad-ranging philanthropic foundation, in 1995 and has since contributed significantly to that organization, alone with a number of other charities. His contributions earned him a spot on Forbes’s 2011 list of World’s Biggest Givers.

1. Bill Gates

And Bill Gates reclaims his title as the world’s richest man in 2014 after running the second spot for the previous three years. It’s safe to say this American investor, programmer, inventor, and philanthropist is known world-wide, and no one is exactly surprised he has regained the top spot on Forbes’s list. The former CEO and chairman of Microsoft is now worth $76 billion, $4 billion more than his closest competitor, and that wealth likely isn’t going anywhere, despite what reports say about Microsoft.

Though Gates is known for his technological prowess at Microsoft, the tech company he co-founded, he is also widely hailed for his commitment to philanthropy and the large sums of money he has committed to a wide variety of charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000. In addition, although Gates stepped down as CEO of Microsoft in 2000, it’s safe to say he still has a big say in the running of the business.
