Many people say that dogs can look like their owners. But is this true or just some old saying?

In these photos it is clear that some dogs and owners look a lot alike. But the University of California wanted to take things one step further and find out if this coincidence was more than just some urban legend.

Psychologists took 45 pictures of dogs and owners and them shuffled them up and told students at the university to match dog to owner. The students were able to match 16 of the dog to owner combos!

The conclusion of this experiment was that only pure-bred dogs actually look like their owners. And, they think this is because when the owner goes to buy the dog, he unconsciously picks one that looks like him.

So, in the end, yes, dogs look like their owners, but only when they are purebred pup!
What do you think? Does your dog look like you?

Take a look inside Disneynature’s newest flick, OCEANS!Nearly three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered by water and OCEANS boldly chronicles the mysteries that lie beneath. Directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud dive deep into the very waters that sustain all of mankind—exploring the playful splendor and the harsh reality of the weird and wonderful creatures that live within.

Featuring spectacular never-before-seen imagery captured by the latest underwater technologies, Disneynature’s OCEANS offers an unprecedented look beneath the sea in a powerful motion picture that unfolds on Earth Day — Thursday, April 22.

Dr. Sylvia Earle, Explorer in Residence at the National Geographic Society says of the film, “These filmmakers have given us the pleasure of looking over their shoulders—of doing what I have dreamed of being able to do—to get in a school of fish, to be a dolphin, to be a whale—and swim along with them. This is the best I’ve ever seen. It takes me places I’ve wanted to go. This is beyond art. This captures the spirit, the very essence of the sea.”

For each ticket sold in the first week, Disneynature will also make a contribution to The Nature Conservancy, one of the largest conservation organizations in the world.

Laughing is one of the actions that makes us feel the best and healthiest. Who doesn’t love to laugh and laugh until you cry?

However, laughing is also something a bit weird, and scientist have tried to find out why we do it.

What they have found is that laughing improves the immune system and also lowers stress levels. But why do we laugh? We laugh to feel socially connected.

When we are in a group and we laugh, we share a moment with the rest of the group. It is then that we feel integrated and like we are part of something.

We babies laugh, this smile and giggle strengthens the bond between parent and child, and promotes a positive relationship.

So, though a laugh seems like something without importance and very common, it is actually one of the ways humanity connects, plus, it picks us up when we are in a bad mood.

Your hair can become damaged by external forces such as the hairdryer, hard brushes, and too much washing…but, if you follow some easy steps, your hair can be looking good again in no time.

How often you wash your hair depends on if your hair is oily or dry normally. Oily hair gets dirtier faster than dry hair. You need to take a look at what kind of hair you have and wash it accordingly.

Use the right shampoo. At the store there are many shampoos and conditioners. You can find shampoos for dry, oily, straight and curly hair and even hair with dandruff…. choose the shampoo that meets your needs and if it works for you don’t change it. If you change shampoo all the time it won’t work as well.

Conditioner. This is an important product and many times we forget to use it. It will leave your hair healthy and soft. After washing your hair, apply the conditioner and let it sit for a couple minutes. Then wash it out with lots of water.

Brushing you hair. When your hair is wet it is fragile. So it is best not to brush your hair aggressively when it is wet. Instead, use a comb, pick or brush to detangle your hair and start brushing the ends first then go up to the roots as you go.

Drying your hair. You can let your hair air dry or dry it with the hair dryer. The hair dryer is the worst and really damages your hair. There are some hair dryers that use cold air to dry with, and these are better than those which use hot air.

Many people fear public speaking whether it is in school, at the university or even in the future at work. This situation creates unnecessary and irrational fear.

Fear only serves us to avoid immediate danger and help us to flee when we need to.  In the past, our ancestors needed to feel fear to stay alive. They would hear a noise in the dark at night and run to avoid a lion or another wild animal.

But in current times, extreme fear, for the most part is misused. What will happen if you misspeak while giving  a presentation? Will the audience attack you? No. And we know this but we still get nervous when we have to present something in public and we start to sweat and get butterflies in our stomachs.

How to get over a fear of public speaking? Remember that you are not actually in a dangerous situation. Also, keep in mind that fear is what may trip you up when speaking in the first place. If you are sure of yourself, you will not stutter nor will your hands shake. Remember, fear is your enemy!

You can avoid all this by being very prepared for your presentation. You could even practice your speech a few times in front of friends or family to get used to hearing yourself speak out-loud.

When it is time to get on stage and speak, take a deep breath and remember, that all the people who are watching you have been in your shoes and that they have been nervous before about public speaking as well.
