Divine Proportions

Hey there, so college just started. Thankfully I've had classes this week despite the earlier striking and love them.  This year is going to be work but fun work. Alright on to the blog. so recent research has been investigating the correspondence between certain proportions of the face, immunities, and attractiveness.
Basically there are actual formulas out there that can define the proportions between say you eye height and face height and then tell you if that proportion falls within the range of really healthy. Some of you may be saying whoa, what now the math nerds are trying to determine who's hot and who's not? Umm, basically yeah but it make sense when you look at why the proportions are the way they are.
 We all know lifestyle effects the way you look. If you sit on your bum all day  you bum wont be very well defined. What we don't always relate that to is facial organization of fat and muscle. Basically mathmaticiens in conjunction with biologists are finding ways to measure how healthy you are from you face and finding out that some level of the human consciousness picks that out because the people with better lifestyles and more antibodies are ranked as more attractive. Also symmetry, but not too much, is found to be attractive.

Below is a link to a couple links that talk about these findings:

Literally in a Different State of Mind

We all know that keeping active mentally and physically is supposed to be good for mood, weight, and health but new research suggests that certain movements may help in problem solving skills. Scholars at Illinois University conducted a study in which subjects had to connect two ends of string, far enough apart the connecting wasn't through a simple know. The subjects had two minutes, twenty seconds of which were filled with exercises (swing of the arms). One group swung their arms front to back, while the other group swung them side to side. Not surprisingly the direction the arms were being swung effected the time and ability of the subjects to reach the answer.
I wonder what the effects of certain types of physical exercise have on occupations. Maybe construction workers are more prone to a type of thought because of the physical labor they perform. Think About it.

Giants Under Ground

Below is a link to a really cool website that tells about a gypsum mine that has free growing crystals up to 12m tall.
