Please don’t read this post if your hungry right now because you won’t feel same after reading these mind blowing creepiest facts about your day today fast food. HERE I GO WITH MY HUNGER KILLING FACTS.

THE AVERAGE FAST FOOD PATRON EATS 12 PUBIC HAIRS IN A GIVEN YEAR - we all get rare occasional hair in our food but Ingesting unwanted hair is more likely to occur at fast food restaurants.

A STRAWBERRY McDONALD’S MILK SHAKE CONTAINS 50 ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS - Apparently, real strawberries are expensive. So fast food companies like McDonald’s choose to use a ridiculous concoction of 50 chemicals to effectively imitate the flavor of one real-world food. These chemicals include ethyl acetate, phenythyl alcohol and solvent.

THIS IS WHERE CHICKEN NUGGETS COME FROM - Before reshaping, foods like chicken nuggets, hot dogs, bologna and pepperoni look like a disgusting sludge of pink paste. This is done through a process called mechanical separation, which is a cost-effective way to “smooth out” bone remnants left after the de-boning process. The process results in excessive bacteria, which is fixed by washing the meat in ammonia. To cover up that delicious ammonia flavor, the meat is then re-flavored artificially and dyed to resemble to type of meat it once was.

THERE ARE BUGS AND RODENT HAIR IN YOUR PEANUT BUTTER - FDA laws allow for an average of 30 insect fragments per 100 grams of peanut butter. In that same half cup of peanut butter, you’ll also find at least one rodent hair (on average). Yum! Now that’s good eating!

SHELLAC IS AN IMPORTANT INGREDIENT IN JELLY BEANS – Shellac is a type of finishing product that is typically used to improve the shine of wood and furniture. However, it can also be used to improve the shine of certain foods, such as jelly beans. Where does shellac come from? Why, it’s secreted by an insect in Thailand called the Kerria Iacca of course!

VARIOUS VIRUSES CAN BE FOUND ON PROCESSED LUNCH MEAT - Food production companies have long sought ways to combat unhealthy microbes found on processed foods such as lunch meat and hot dogs. A few years ago, the FDA approved the use of bacteriophages (a.k.a. viruses) that help kill these dangerous microbes. So, basically, viruses are purposely being added to your food to improve shelf life.

IF NOT FOR ONE INGREDIENT, DRINKING A CAN OF COKE WOULD MAKE YOU VOMIT - While cocaine was long taken out of Coca-Cola long ago, the current formula is still formulated to get you high. Each can of Coke contains 10 teaspoons of sugar. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake. In normal circumstances, the extreme sweetness of this much sugar would immediately cause you to vomit uncontrollably. However, since all that sugar is addictive and keeps you coming back for more, Coca-Cola adds phosphoric acid; an ingredient that cuts the sweetness to manageable levels.

FAST FOOD SALADS CONTAIN CHEMICALS USED IN ANTIFREEZE - Choosing to “eat healthy” at a fast food restaurant isn’t necessarily a good idea. To prolong crispness, packaged salads are dusted with Propylene Glycerol, a chemical commonly found in antifreeze. In its concentrated form, the chemical has been known to cause eye and skin irritation.

CHICKEN McNUGGETS CONTAIN BEEF - Many fast food chicken items contain beef additives used to enhance flavor and juke health stats. Chicken McNuggets, the Wendy’s Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and KFC Grilled Chicken Sandwich are a few examples. Check the ingredients, and you’ll see no sign of such atrocities. That’s because such beef additives are listed as “extract” or “essence.”

PROCESSED CHEESE IS LESS THAN 51 PERCENT CHEESE - A more accurate name for Kraft Singles and other packaged cheeses is “cheese-like substance.” Any cheese product labeled as processed or pasteurized includes additives, chemicals and flavorings that account for up 49 percent of the total product. As a result, that cheap cheese in your grocery store has just enough real cheese in it to allow companies to call it cheese.

Now please don’t blame me for this post! when ever you think of me, when you order these items at a restaurant!! ;)

Microsoft may provide between $1 billion and $3 billion in mezzanine financing, as part of a larger buyout of Dell, helping to take the firm private. In current trading, Dell is worth some $22.85 billion, awarding the theoretical $3 billion investment roughly 13% of the PC manufacturer.

With that percentage of the firm in its pockets, Microsoft, given its current status as Dell’s key partner, would wield massive clout over the company; Microsoft has a recent history of turning minority stakes in firms into strategic affairs, its Facebook purchase being the prime example.

According to Reuters, Silver Lake Partners is the leading contender to take Dell private; Microsoft would participate as a minority partner of the larger deal. Dell itself “has formed a special committee” to parse and vet potential deals. Assuming a premium on Dell’s current stock price, even given the its recent snap rise, would value the deal above the $25 billion mark.

Here is a short look at Dell’s financial performance:

In its most recent quarter, Dell had revenues of $13.7 billion, and net income of $475 million. The company has around $11 billion in cash, implying a market valuation of its operations – less that cash amount – of under $10 billion. That is a very rough metric, as it doesn’t take into account the company’s debts.

Microsoft: Big, Bad, OEM

Microsoft, by taking a stake in Dell, would be making a statement that its work as an OEM is hardly fleshed out. The Surface project, in terms of unit volume, is diddly when compared to the number of boxes that Microsoft can ship.

And if the firm wants to get into building its own laptops and desktops, or at least guide a partner firm in such a way as to bolster the larger PC market, and thus compete more strongly with Apple, buying Dell would be a fast way to do so; Dell has the supply chain, manufacturing capabilities, and sales channels that are key to have and hard to create.

Microsoft, in theory, could be using its ample cash reserves to help Dell go private out of the goodness of its heart, but I don’t think so if it’s all just a good heart.

Read about this person on social media and also saw the photos of him and his auto. Here it is what I came across. His interview and detailed sketch of how he operates. Salute this guy: “I love my job” “Does not charge any money to Teachers” True BASHA I would say.
Update: Latest he has wifi and tablet implemented now.

 

This may seem like an elementary post… but you’d be surprised at how many folks ask me for advice on how to write an effective blog post. I’d also add that sometimes I’m very confused when I read some posts on what the goal was, the relevance was, and if the blogger even thought about the reader as he/she wrote the post.

  1. What is the central idea of the post? Is there an answer you’re trying to provide to a specific question? Don’t confuse folks by mixing disparate ideas in a single blog post. Is the topic remarkable? Remarkable content gets distributed in social media and can draw more readers. Decide what type of post you’re going to write.
  2. What keywords could you target with your blog post? Truth be told, I don’t always look for keywords to promote when I’m blogging, but it is a great way to acquire new readers. Don’t stuff a ton of keywords into a single blog post… it’s okay to concentrate on a few related words.
  3. Utilize keywords in your post title, the first words of your post, and the first words of your meta description. Bolding keywords or using them in subheadings, and sprinkling them in your post can make quite a difference on how your post is indexed with the search engines.
  4. Are there other blog posts you can refer to when writing your current post? Linking internally to other posts can help a reader dive deeper and revive some old content that you’ve written. Linking externally can promote other industry folks and provide some additional fodder to support your post.
  5. Is there a representative image that you can utilize that leaves an impression with the reader? Our brains don’t often remember words… but we do process and record images much better. Getting a great image to represent your content will leave more of an impression with your readers. Adding alternative text to the image can help with SEO. (And if a picture is worth a thousand words… an infographic is worth 100,000 and a video is worth a million!)
  6. Can you write the content utilizing bullet points? People don’t read blog posts as much as they scan them. Utilizing bulleted points, short paragraphs, subheadings, and bolded keywords can help people scan the post and easily decide whether or not they wish to dig in deeper.
  7. What do you want people to do after they read the post? If you have a corporate blog, perhaps it’s to invite them for a demonstration or to give you a call. If it’s a publication like this, perhaps it’s to read additional posts on the topic or promote it to their networks. (Feel free to hit the Retweet and Like buttons above!)
  8. How long should your blog post be? As long as it takes to get your point across – never longer. I often review my posts and find that I’ve bloviated a bit on a topic – so I’ll clean it up and cut all the extraneous stuff out of it. A more popular post I read was 200 Blog Post Ideas… it was long, but it worked! If I’m writing paragraphs, I tend to keep it to a handful of short paragraphs – one or two sentences tops. Again, making the content easily digestible is key.
  9. Tag and categorize your post with keywords you’d want the audience to find the content under. Tagging and categorization can help you and your readers find content easier when they’re scouring your site about a specific topic. It can also help to organize additional content like related posts.
  10. Show some personality and provide your viewpoint. Readers aren’t always looking to find just answers in a post, they’re also looking to find out people’s opinions of the answer. Controversy can drive a lot of a lot of readership… but be fair and be respectful. I love debating folks on my blog… but I always try to keep it to the topic at hand, without name-calling or looking like an ass.
