In the latest edition of The Guinness Book of World Records, set for a March 2003 release date, pop-diva MARIAH CAREY scores still another title. According to Guinness officials, the siren's ethereal pipes hold the record for having hit the highest note in the history of recorded music. In a live rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" last year, Mariah hit a G7#-note, outdoing even the piano. Technically, the exertion of G7#-notes is "dolphin speak," since, in theory, these are the only mammals physiologically equipped with the proper lung-structure to produce G7#-notes. So powerful are G7#-notes that these are capable of countering water and electric currents, and have even been known to outdistance space and range. In the world, Carey is the only other living creature to have ever generated a G7#-note. Clinically, Mariah's voice is termed a medical wonder. But the "altisisima" Carey is no stranger to the Guinness Book, as the songbird is titleholder to dozen other titles. Correlating to Carey’s latest record, in a back edition of the Guinness Book, Carey is credited with possessing a 7-octave range, meaning she is able to go from an A2 (eight full-scaled keys below the lowest possible note on a piano) to a G7#-note without deviating from perfect pitch and all in the time-span of one breath. Behind vocal wonder Carey, who still goes un-championed, are Yma Sumac, ringing in at 5 octaves, and the late Minnie Riperton, with 4.5 octaves.

Properly study habits are within the reach of every students. With patience, extra effort, and discipline, you will be better learners. Here are some tips on how to study effectively in less time and efforts:
1. When reading, don't read word for word. Read words that belong together. This way, you will be reading for ideas, not words.
2. Jot down the most unfamiliar words in the course, then look for the meaning in a dictionary.
3. When reviewing, begin by going over all the materials brieftly to find out that you already know and where you are still weak. Then concentrate on your weak points.
4. Be relax when reviewing.
5. Don't review for hours. You will get the ideas mixed up and your head will not be clear.
6. According to chronobiologist, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. is the sharpest time of the day for long memory, an optimal time to study.
7. Don't cram or review during late night and early morning hours. Research shows this is the time of the circadian cycle when long term memory, comprehension and learning are at their lowest ebb.
8. Have a frequent reviews or backward glances at the end of a unit or chapter. This way, you can overcome fear and cramming in examination.
9. Before the examination day, have a good night's sleep.
10. In answering test questions, answer them in order of difficulty. The easy ones first and the more difficulties ones then.
11. It is best to study Math when your mind is freshest. Many bright students have found it a good habit to study them first before other lessons.
12. In answering mathematical problems, know first what is required, then know what is given. Think of the possible solutions by knowing the right method or formula to be used.
13. Have a drill or exercise on different mathematical problems everyday.
14. Develop a regular schedule for study and recreation.
15. Find a suitable place in your room for your study table. The source of light should be over your left shoulder if you are right handed or over you right shoulder if you are left handed.
16. Eat nourishing food. Sleep well exercise for your health and being.

Believe it or not! Las Ketchup Song (Asereje) Meaning. Probably most of you haven't realized the true meaning of this particular song. Because as native English speakers, it's hard to understand a song in a different language, and even worse, in a bad mixture of English, Spanish and demonic hidden messages! That's right, it's widely known (especially in the Hispanic world [because they can understand it]) that this song praises Satan. And even worse, it predicts his coming to this world in an apparent Apocalypse. These girls defend themselves from those statements, claiming that 'they were trying to sing in English, but as they can't (because they don't know the language) they sing what they think is an English song'. [Yeah right!]. Or things like that, in fact there are several versions of why the song has an understandable part, which is in no language at all. The point is that these previously unknown and untalented girls with this demonic anthem have soared to the height of the popularity charts and topped the most heard charts AROUND THE WORLD! Let's begin with the analysis: (Full lyrics in Spanish). [Original version] Mira lo que se avecina a la vuelta de la esquina, viene Diego rumbeando. Con la Luna en las pupilas y su traje agua marina van restos de contrabando. Y donde más no cabe un alma ahi se mete a darse caña poseído por el ritmo ragadanga. Y el DJ que lo conoce toca el himno de las 12 para Diego la canción más deseada. Y la baila, y la goza y la canta. Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugui an de buididipi. Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugui an de buididipi. Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugui an de buididipi. No es cosa de brujería que lo encuentre tonlos días por donde voy caminando... Diego tiene chulería y ese punto de alegría rastafari afrogitano. Y donde más no cabe un alma ahi se mete a darse caña poseído por el ritmo ragadanga.Y el DJ que lo conoce toca el himno de las 12 para Diego la canción más deseada.Y la baila, y la goza y la canta. Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugui an de buididipi. Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugu an de uididipi. Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugui an de buididipi. ana naná nananá nanana ná anananá nanana now ana naná nananá nanana ná anananá ee a ee a ee e o ana naná nananá nanana ná nananá nanana now ana naná nananá nanana ná anananá ee a ee a ee e o Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugui an de buididipi. Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugui an de buididipi. Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugui an de buididipi. Continues until fading. In the Spanish speaking countries the debate is really a hard one. Some say: "let's avoid it because it's a demonic song", but others : "let's hear and love it because it's a demonic song". ?!?! So it's up to you, whether you want to be a Satan follower and prepare the grounds for his coming. Or fight them, (Satan and the New World Order). In English the song says: Look at what's coming at the turn of the corner (interpreted as a prophecy of the evil coming), Diego (Diego seldom taken as the devil) comes dancing rumba. With the Moon in the pupils, (of course it's at night if the Moon is up) and his ocean blue suit (according to the occultists, blue is Satan's favorite color) ' go smuggled remains' ? (this is the best English translation of this part, because even in Spanish it doesn't make any sense).[smuggle, related to illegality] and where not even a soul fits in (this is understood as The Hell) he squeezes in to give himself pleasure, possessed by the Ragadanga rhythm.(ragadanga has no meaning in Spanish, could be an occultist thing). And the DJ who knows him plays the midnight hymn, (hour in which satanic rituals and sacrifices take place), for Diego the most desired song. And he dances, and he ENJOYS it (in Spanish the word 'gozar' is more related to pleasure, than just enjoy), and he sings it. (Then comes the unintelligible part, which makes no sense, not even trying to analyze it from the Spanish or English phonetics as full words). Aserejé, ja, de je, de jebe tu de jebere sebiunouva, majabi an de bugui an de buididipi.

Each of us has a hidden place
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
A place where we go to get away,
To think things through,
To be alone, to be ourselves.
This unique place, where we confront our deepest feelings,
Becomes a storehouse of all our hopes,
All our needs, all our dreams,
And even our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of who we are and what we want to be.
But now and then, whether by chance or design,
Someone discovers a way into that place we thought was ours alone.
And we allow that person to see, to feel and to share
All the reason, all the uncertainty
And all the emotion we've stored up there.
That person adds new perspective to our hidden realm,
Then quietly settles down in his own corner of our special place,
Where a bit of himself will stay forever.
And we call that person a friend.

I've still got a lot to learn
But at least, I know where I can turn
When I'm in my times of need
Just as long as I know all things are possible
Just as long as I believe
I've loved a lot, hurt a lot
Been burned a lot in my life and times
Spent precious years wrapped up in fear
With no end in sight
Until my saving grace shined on me
Until my saving grace set me free
(Give me peace) Giving me peace
Giving me strength when I'd almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
I found my saving grace within you
Yes, I've been bruised
Grew up confused
Been destitute
I've seen life from many sides
Been stigmatized
Been black and white
Felt inferior inside
Until my saving grace shined on me
Until my saving grace set me free
Giving me peace
Giving me strength when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you kept me safe
I found my saving grace within you
And the bountiful things that you do
Lord thank you
For delivering me
And giving me peace
Giving me strength
Giving me hope when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you kept me safe
Always my saving grace
Pulls me through
I found my saving grace within you
(Yes you are - you're my every, everything)
Within you...
(Only, only you)
Yes lord
(Only you)
My saving grace lord is
You

When you are tired and discouraged from
Fruitless efforts?
God knows how hard you have tried.
When you've cried so long and you're heart
Is in anguish?
God has counted your tears.
If you feel that your life is on hold
And time has passed you by?
God is waiting with you.
When you're lonely and you're friends are
Too busy even for a phone call?
God is by your side.
When you think you've tried everything
And don't know where to turn?
God has a solution.
When nothing makes sense and you are
Confused or frustrated?
God has the answer.
If suddenly your outlook is brighter and
You find traces of hope?
God has whispered to you.
When things are going well and you have
Much to be thankful for?
God has blessed you.
When something joyful happens and
You are filled with awe?
God has smiled upon you.
When you have a purpose to fulfill and a
Dream to follow?
God has opened your eyes and called you
By name.
Remember that wherever you are or
Whatever you are facing?
GOD KNOWS!
