We all learn evolution theory in schools. Well most of us do.
However, what’s taught in schools are just basic. What most people, especially religious fundamentalists do not want you to know is that evolution theory can very naturally explain human nature.
It’s not in school. So I’ll tell you here. I’ll start from the least shocking conclusions first and then we’ll go to the most politically incorrect ones people have been trying to hide from you.

We all learn evolution theory in schools. Well most of us do.
However, what’s taught in schools are just basic. What most people, especially religious fundamentalists do not want you to know is that evolution theory can very naturally explain human nature.
It’s not in school. So I’ll tell you here. I’ll start from the least shocking conclusions first and then we’ll go to the most politically incorrect ones people have been trying to hide from you.
Why Cheetah run fast? Simple. In ancient time, some Cheetah run fast, some Cheetah ran slow.
Cheetahs that run fast, gather more food, and live. Such Cheetah, then get married, form a family, and life offspring.
The slow Cheetah die. Got it so far? Here we go…
Here, we see that evolution fine tuned Cheetah traits, namely, promoting Cheetahs that run fast.
It turns out, evolution do not only govern physical traits, like how fast you can run and other capabilities. Evolution also fine tuned preferences. Preferences that are working out in the gene pool are preferences that are hard wired in our genes.
Those are preferences that we don’t even have to think about. We just feel like doing it.
For example, most of us have strong preferences to have sex with the opposite sex. Why? Because those who do live have decendants and those who don’t went extinct.
Nothing strange, nothing bizzare.
Now here we go…
Say one male make 1000 kids. Say another male make 1 kids. Which one will survive better in the gene pool?
The one making 1000 kids.
You see, gene pool survival is not a boolean value. Survival is not for the fit but for the fittest.
Preferences that work in the gene pool in the past are preferences that are common nowadays.
Ugh, I can sense that the conservative will start going back to their bible. Not yet. Here’s more.
One obvious way to make genetic copies of ourself is by making kids.
Now, if you’re a male, how would you maximize the number of kids you make?
You do so by mating with as many females as possible. Males that mate with more women, and produce more kids, like Genghis Khan, will survive better in the genepool, in the past.
In fact, a genetic testing shows that the y chromosome of Genghish Khan is the same chromosome with 1 out of 4 people in Asia. Now that’s, success.
Let me repeat. Preferences that used to work in the past are preferences that are common nowadays. So, what do common typical males want nowadays?
Mate with as many females as possible.
Not necessarily making kids. Our preferences are set up in the past, where sex and kids are inseparable. There are no contraception whatsoever.
So males want as many females as possible. It is normal to want as many females as possible. In fact, the “normality” of those who are homosexual is not far different than the normality of males that are monogamous.
Successful males are males that can make a lot of money, gain huge political power, and mate with many females. That’s what males want.
What do women want? Women want the best genes. Those women that pick the best genes will produce more successful sons. How do women measure the quality of a male’s genetic material?
By success. Got so far?
Now, we got an issue. There are the same number of males and females. If one male is successful, the others don’t get any.
And that’s the main sources of conflicts all over the world. When we’re not at war, we’re in a race. When we’re in a race, those who are not competitive will want to knock down those running fast.
Such preferences are called envy.
Different societies then have different ways to balance tolerance toward success and some socialism to appease those who are not successful.
The conservative, for example, allow economic success but demand socialism through life long monogamous relationship. The liberal, for example, allow sexual success but demand socialism in economy.
None of which are optimum, in my opinion. I wrote plenty of articles suggesting how better social contracts can benefit both the rich and the poor.
For example, taxing kids, rather than income and paying dividend to all citizens, will allow the poor to postpone making kids and have enough capital to get them rich.
Now, that’s the basic of evolution theory on humans’ nature and preferences. I guess that’s all for an article.
Properly understood, evolution theory can be very useful. We can understand why there are many criminalization against consensual acts. We’ll see that those laws are there to protect disgruntled competitors.
We’ll see why there are so many wars over religious doctrines. That happens because to be successful in countries heavily influenced by envy, the wise need to keep pitting people against each other.
Many more are like this. Properly understood, we can correctly predict the outcome of our choices more accurately. Then we can come up with strategies that will result in what we want more.
On the other hand, those who are blind will be eaten by those who see.
It’s toward ones’ best interest to learn and understand evolution theory. Ignore evolution theory at our own peril.
Hypnosis has indeed unlocked many secrets behind the mystery that is the human mind and there are indeed several stages one must be aware of.
Although many people believe that hypnotists possess mysterious powers that allow them to a control subject and have them do their every bidding, but the truth is that a person has every means to break off from that hypnotic state.
There are many and varied hypnosis programs and processes, but almost all follow a similar pattern.
Hypnosis is generally broken down into three stages, which for therapeutic purposes, is the are the most common ones adopted for therapies and treatments to a number of problems from breaking the smoking habit, pain and anger management, even alcohol and substance abuse.
The initial or first stage is known as the superficial trance, which is characterized as the lightest stage of hypnosis where a subject is still consciously aware of his surroundings and environment.
This is the stage which is most often used to treat patients with behaviors that need to be corrected like smoking and addiction.
The subject, during this stage, can accept suggestions relayed by the hypnotist, but the subject has the freedom to accept it or not.
The next stage is considered as the alpha stage, which is a deeper level of hypnosis, most often used to control or treat pain.
This is the stage when a deeper relaxation is achieved and breathing begins to slow down and the heart pressure and rate also follows suit.
The last and third stage is the deepest among the hypnotic stages and is often used by psychiatrists to go deeper and access the innermost thoughts where memories of past events and forgotten emotions are stored in the subconscious mind.
This is the most helpful process where psychiatrists are able to treat patients with severe psychological trauma.
If one would try out hypnosis as therapy or treatment, here are some tips to consider before considering hypnotism.
First, make sure to get hold of a reputable and licensed hypnotherapist, who are authorized to conduct treatments and therapies using the process, since there are a large number of fly-by-night and unlicensed practitioners plying the trade who could cause more harm than good.
So better watch out for these unscrupulous individuals or parties.
Make sure to check out credentials and don’t be afraid to ask for details or information regarding their practice, since you will be placing your full confidence and turst in them when they try to explore into your mind.
Do take note that hypnosis may not work for everyone, especially with those individuals who are skeptical or do not subscribe to the idea of hypnotism.
Hypnotism is a state of mind and mental conditioning and if somebody is not decided or determined to place full confidence in the practice, it is likely that hypnosis will not have an effect on him.
If a person who wants to go through hypnosis but may be suffering from a psychiatric condition or taking medication for a psychiatric problem, he or she must not go through the hypnosis process without seeking for permission or approval from his or her psychiatrist.
Hypnotism is a critical and delicate process, which must be handled carefully by a licensed and experienced practitioner.
And now that you are aware of the various stages of hypnosis, you may be able to find out which one is best suited for a particular condition.

You might look at some fitness equipment as costly too; however, most are cheaper and affordable now.

Today’s fishing rods have incorporated modern features that are not typical of the more primitive cane pole. Modern fishing rods contain reels, which aid in the retrieval of fish caught in its bait.
A much-sophisticated feature is the spinning rod where the entire shaft of the rod except the handle can move around on its axis to allow flexibility when fish caught on snare bait struggles through the water.
Like the classic cane fishing rods, the fishing gadget is thick at the handle (bottom) and is tapered and thinner at the tip. This very basic design allows handling stability and flexible movement of the entire length of the shaft.
Types of Fishing Rods and Specifications
A typical fishing rod measures 6 and 16 feet (2 and 5 m) and vary in capability to tolerate strain in fishing activity. The length has a lot to do with withstanding force exerted by the fish to the pole and determines for the most part the performance of rods used for angling.
Cane Poles
Cane poles are one of the smallest and less sophisticated gadgets in fishing. It is usually made of bamboo or other flexible wood material with the most basic fly line attached to it.
Unlike other more sophisticated fishing rods, cane poles do not usually contain reels or its equivalent to be used for reeling in or retrieving fish caught on bait. This very same action is known as angling.
Spinning Rods
These types of rods are the most popular today. They can be used either for heavyweight or lightweight fish although they were proven best for trout, walleye and bass fish. They vary in measurements from 5 and 7 feet (1.5 and 2.5 m).
Spinning poles are commonly used in bass fishing competition accounting for their flexibility and tolerance to stress. They accommodate bigger and tougher fly lines and stabilize them to avoid line tangles during uncoiling of float lines.
Jigging Rods
These rods are best for heavy lures and baits especially when reaching around 180 to 200 feet under the ocean’s surface. They are made of fine, solid materials which accounts to their heaviness. The use of jigging rods is specifically due to alternating currents during the fishing activity.
Some oceans have erratic undersea current. That is why the bait and fly lines should be kept in place. Lures are also disturbed and cause confusion among fish if the lines are not long and heavy enough to withstand and tolerate water currents under the sea.
These rods are best for target fishes usually found dwelling at the bottom of the sea such as halibut and cods.
Success is more than economic gains, titles, and degrees. Planning for success is about mapping out all the aspects of your life. Similar to a map, you need to define the following details: origin, destination, vehicle, backpack, landmarks, and route.
Origin: Who you are
A map has a starting point. Your origin is who you are right now. Most people when asked to introduce themselves would say, “Hi, I’m Jean and I am a 17-year old, senior highschool student.” It does not tell you about who Jean is; it only tells you her present preoccupation.
To gain insights about yourself, you need to look closely at your beliefs, values, and principles aside from your economic, professional, cultural, and civil status. Moreover, you can also reflect on your experiences to give you insights on your good and not-so-good traits, skills, knowledge, strengths, and weaknesses. Upon introspection, Jean realized that she was highly motivated, generous, service-oriented, but impatient.
Her inclination was in the biological-medical field. Furthermore, she believed that life must serve a purpose, and that wars were destructive to human dignity.
Destination: A vision of who you want to be
“Who do want to be?” this is your vision. Now it is important that you know yourself so that you would have a clearer idea of who you want to be; and the things you want to change whether they are attitudes, habits, or points of view. If you hardly know yourself, then your vision and targets for the future would also be unclear.
Your destination should cover all the aspects of your being: the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Continuing Jean’s story, after she defined her beliefs, values, and principles in life, she decided that she wanted to have a life dedicated in serving her fellowmen.
Vehicle: Your Mission
A vehicle is the means by which you can reach your destination. It can be analogized to your mission or vocation in life. To a great extent, your mission would depend on what you know about yourself. Bases on Jean’s self-assessment, she decided that she was suited to become a doctor, and that she wanted to become one.
Her chosen vocation was a medical doctor. Describing her vision-mission fully: it was to live a life dedicated to serving her fellowmen as a doctor in conflict-areas.
Travel Bag: Your knowledge, skills, and attitude
Food, drinks, medicines, and other travelling necessities are contained in a bag. Applying this concept to your life map, you also bring with you certain knowledge, skills, and attitudes. These determine your competence and help you in attaining your vision. Given such, there is a need for you to assess what knowledge, skills, and attitudes you have at present and what you need to gain along the way. This two-fold assessment will give you insights on your landmarks or measures of success.
Jean realized that she needed to gain professional knowledge and skills on medicine so that she could become a doctor. She knew that she was a bit impatient with people so she realized that this was something she wanted to change.
Landmarks and Route: S.M.A.R.T. objectives
Landmarks confirm if you are on the right track while the route determines the travel time. Thus, in planning out your life, you also need to have landmarks and a route. These landmarks are your measures of success. These measures must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound. Thus you cannot set two major landmarks such as earning a master’s degree and a doctorate degree within a period of three years, since the minimum number of years to complete a master’s degree is two years.
Going back to Jean as an example, she identified the following landmarks in her life map: completing a bachelor’s degree in biology by the age of 21; completing medicine by the age of 27; earning her specialization in infectious diseases by the age of 30; getting deployed in local public hospitals of their town by the age of 32; and serving as doctor in war-torn areas by the age of 35.
Anticipate Turns, Detours, and Potholes
The purpose of your life map is to minimize hasty and spur-of-the-moment decisions that can make you lose your way. But oftentimes our plans are modified along the way due to some inconveniences, delays, and other situations beyond our control. Like in any path, there are turns, detours, and potholes thus; we must anticipate them and adjust accordingly.
Some Internet Marketers can get clueless when it comes to unleashing the full potential of paid eZine advertising. One of the most common dilemmas is that whether should the Internet Marketer advertise the product or service he is selling directly to the subscribers of the eZine he is paying advertising for?
This can be a wise method, but with ifs and buts. For one, the advertisement must be compelling and attention grabbing. Secondly, there is no telling if the eZine’s subscribers constantly practice a buying habit until you put some money to find out.
Investing even a small sum of money can be risky to a number of Internet Marketers who are on tight budgets. But in spite of the risk factors, eZine advertising can still be rewarding, if done right.
Thus the solution: the marketer would be wiser if he or she uses eZine advertising to build his or her mailing list. It makes sense, anyway. Since some eZines display more than one sponsored advertisement, you can grab the subscriber’s attention by giving a free or risk-free product or offer through your ad.
When the subscriber clicks on your ad, he or she can opt into your mailing list in exchange for the free offer, which can be a free report or even a trial service.
While you are not making a hard sell through your advertisement just yet, building your list by getting other eZine’s subscribers subscribed to your eZine allows you to follow up with them in the future, as and when you have new offers.
