It’s official. The new timeline has been implemented on Facebook – and everyone is being brought along for the ride.

As of today, fellow FB users get the opportunity to experience a new profile layout and a lot of people like what they see. At least, from what we’ve heard.

Even our Ipsos page in Paris has taken a shine to it, creating a historical outline on the main profile page.

You can check it out here.

In case you haven’t had the chance to try the timeline yet, here’s a rundown, straight from the Facebook Timeline About page:

Your Cover

Fill this wide, open space with a unique image that represents you best. It’s the first thing people see when they visit your timeline.

Your Stories

Share and highlight your most memorable posts, photos and life events on your timeline. This is where you can tell your story from beginning, to middle, to now.

Your Apps

The movies you quote. The songs you have on repeat. The activities you love. Now there’s a new class of social apps that let you express who you are through all the things you do.

Decide what to highlight
To help you get started; your timeline includes some of your top photos
and stories. Hide or highlight whatever you want and add anything that’s missing.

Control who sees your stuff

Only the people you originally shared a post with can see it on your timeline. If you want, you can go back and change who sees a post, delete it or just hide it from your timeline.

I have some great news for fans of popcorn.

A recent study has shown that the antioxidants found if popcorn are greater than that of fruits or vegetables. So what does this mean?

It means that the next time you are deciding on what snack to have during your evening CSI marathon, you may want to consider popcorn.

Now, this isn’t to say that you should give up entirely on fruits and veggies; at least not yet.

Gizmodo posted an article that I think you should read. They tell you exactly how to get the most nutrition from traditionally popping your corn, and explain how it can be a healthy snack!

You can find it here.

Sometimes the Internet brings you some pretty beautiful things. Whether it’s a heart-warming story, a connection with an old friend, or a picture that takes your breath away. It’s always a great feeling to find something so amazing.

This is where we start today.

I found a video that was posted on YouTube about wheelchairs. Or rather, how this new device may render wheelchairs obsolete. I always like to see inventions that help better the lives of people. This video is no exception.

I was so impressed with how helpful this new device is that I had to share.

Please take a moment out of your busy day and watch just how much this can help people who would typically be stuck in a wheelchair everyday.

Post your comments below and tell us what you think!

And make sure to share with your friends as well!

Since the timeline became available a couple months ago, people have been experimenting with adding and removing a variety of different apps. But what some people have been noticing is that some apps are now harder to find. Well, Facebook has done a great job of ensuring that there are enough apps for everyone, and I know where to find them!

I remember how many Apps I used to have (pre-timeline) but had NO idea that there are now over 3,000 available for me to add now that timeline has been released. Perhaps you like to play online games with friends? Or maybe you like to read movie reviews (Rotten Tomato has a great app, here).

I know that personally, I always want to listen to music (even when I’m on Facebook). I’m also a fan of news & cooking apps and with the addition of theses gems; my timeline is now pretty impressive.

Your welcome

Okay, picture this. It’s the middle of the night… you are sound asleep until suddenly, for no reason at all, you find yourself wide-awake. You check the clock and see that it’s just after 2:30am. And the worst part is, it takes you FOREVER to fall back asleep.

Well friends, you are not alone. Apparently being awake for 2 hours in the middle of the night is how our bodies were originally programmed.

According to an article written recently by the BBC, we used to partake in something called “first” and “second” sleep – which is exactly as it sounds:  two rounds of sleeping per night with a two hour gap in between.

According to research, the time spent awake in between sleeps could have been used to clean, read, visit friends, pray, cook or many other activities.

This seemingly odd sleeping pattern was said to be popular until about the 17^th Century when it was eventually phased out. Based on the article, the switch came when streetlights became more frequently used/popular, which in turn allowed people to stay out longer at night, before bed.

If you are interested in reading the entire article, click here.

And the next time you lay awake, perhaps you should embrace it; just like they used

to in the olden days.

And stay tuned for our next blog post when we unlock the secret of napping!

March is a very exciting month for a lot of us. The weather starts to turn, we’re closer to spring, and of course, it’s my birthday month as well!

But beyond that, there is a lot to celebrate and raise awareness for in March.

I’ve organized a list of some of the events you should circle on your calendar.

Music in Our Schools Month. As education budgets get slashed because of the tough economy, school music programs are increasingly endangered. The purpose of Music in Our Schools Month is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children, and to remind citizens that school is a prime location for children to have access to music.

Small Press Month. A nationwide celebration of the books brought to you by independent publishers, Small Press Month raises awareness about the need for broader venues of literary expression.

Social Work Month. “Social Work Matters” is the theme of Social Work Month 2012, sponsored by the National Associations of Social Workers. A key message for this year’s celebration is that social workers are the safety net in a civil society, contributing to the community’s health, mental health, aging, schools, veterans services, community agencies, local politics and more.

American Red Cross Month. Every year, the presi­dent proclaims March “American Red Cross Month” to encourage citizens to volunteer and participate in the important work this valuable organization performs in time of war and natural disaster.

National Procrastination Week, March 4-10. The Procrastinators’ Club of America (Bryn Athyn, Pa.) marks this as a week to promote the benefits of putting off until tomorrow everything that needn’t be done today.

Girl Scout Week, March 11-17. Celebrated every year during the week of March 12, when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization’s first 18 girl members in 1912 in Savannah, Ga.

Brain Awareness Week, March 12-18. A global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research. Events may include open days at neuroscience labs; exhibitions about the brain; lectures on brain-related topics; displays at libraries and community centers; classroom workshops; and more.

Root Canal Awareness Week, March 25-31. A root canal may sound painful, but not getting one when needed could be worse. Root Canal Awareness Week seeks to raise awareness of the role of endodontists—root canal specialists who bring high-quality care, compassion, and comfort to their patients, and who deserve recognition for their service and commitment.

International Women’s Day, March 8. Thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate their achievements.

Pi Day, March 14. It’s 3-14. Get it? Pi is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter, an irratio­nal number whose decimal representation never ends, although it begins with 3.14159 . . .

St. Patrick’s Day, March 17. Break out the green, read some James Joyce, and try to catch a leprechaun. For more on leprechauns, see page 15.

National Puppy Day, March 23. Adopt a puppy, donate toys or blankets to your local animal shelter, or buy your own puppy a new toy.
