Today's Daily Trivia Quiz (Oct 15, 2013)

Celebrity Challenge - Movie Edition

The names we often know celebrities by are not their birth names. Movie stars, singers, and even presidents have changed their birth names when they became well known. The information contained in this quiz are hints, not actual facts. The names, however, have not been changed to protect the innocent. How well do you know your celebrities?

Stress : Unknown Stress

If you ask someone why they feel stressed, they may not be able to point to a specific reason. This is because stress often comes from a source that the sufferer may not fully understand. If you have an easily identified source of stress, you are lucky (try to get rid of it). Most people cannot figure out why they feel stressed.



Stress comes in three flavors: physical, emotional, and behavioral. A physical stress might be an injury, an annoying sound or an uncomfortable chair. Emotional stress includes things like fighting with a friend, or the death of a loved one. Behavioral stress might come from alcohol, caffeine, or poor sleep.



Looking at these areas and taking a step back to look at the bigger picture may help someone understand where their stress is coming from. For example, someone who feels tense all the time may not realize that it's because of poor sleep due to noisy neighbors (behavioral and physical stress). A good pair of earplugs may make all the difference in the world! Try examining the various parts of your life to see if you can find something that might be causing stress. Experiment to see if eliminating the stressor makes you feel better.

Memory : Remembering Times

The Phonetic Mnemonic System can be used to remember times as well as dates. Suppose that you have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday at 9:00am. Wednesday is the 3rd day of the week, so 3 and 9 make the word 'mop.' Create a visualization of your doctor with a mop, and you will be able to remember your appointment. Here are a few more times to help you practice:



Sunday 2:00 = 7 2 = can

Monday 8:30 = 1 83 = dove ham

Tuesday 4:39 = 2 439 = honey ramp

Thursday 3:00 = ? (Try this one yourself!)

Dying Star Says 'Cheers' With Toby Jug Nebula
