Top 5 Kitchen Items as Home Remedies !!!

These are the top 5 kitchen items for first aid and health care.

  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Garlic
  • Coconut oil
  • Aloe Vera
  • Ginger

Apple Cider Vinegar

Raw, organic apple cider vinegar is amazing. Many people swear by it as a preventative, taking shots each day. It is a probiotic, therefore it helps keep the gut healthy. It’s other uses include:

  • Ear infections: At the first sign of an ear infection, lay on your side and use a dropper to fill the ear canal with apple cider vinegar. Catch it early enough, and one dose is all you need. Apple cider vinegar kills bacteria and yeast infections.
  • Fungus: In addition to ears, apple cider vinegar applied directly will kill fungal infections on the skin, including athlete’s foot.
  • Sore throats: Gargle with apple cider vinegar. Just don’t breath in the fumes. Yes, it burns. But moments later, your throat will not hurt.
  • Bug bites: Apple cider vinegar is a time honored cure for mosquito bites.
  • Take a shot if you have heartburn. It works!
  • Vaginal yeast infections: Use in a douche. Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to 8 ounces of filtered water.
  • Zits: Dab on pimples and acne to kill bacteria and restore proper pH to the skin.

Garlic

Garlic is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic. Who needs antibiotics when we have garlic? At the first sign of illness, chew garlic. It’s not for the faint of heart, I agree. But practice helps. One of my first attempts at natural medicine was to place a small garlic clove in my ear to treat an ear infection. Don’t do it. Mine got stuck.

  • Infection: Chew garlic for any systemic infection. Better yet, use raw garlic often and abundantly in your diet for preventative care.
  • Fungus: Garlic can be diced up and used to treat fungal skin infections.
  • Vaginal Infections: Insert a garlic clove into the vagina at night. For easier retrieval, sew a string through the core.

Aloe vera

Few things are as soothing to the skin as aloe vera.

  • Burns: Break open a piece of aloe vera and rub over a burn.
  • Irritated Skin: Spread aloe vera over affected skin.
  • Superficial Injuries: Cuts, scrapes, bug bites, acne. Spread aloe vera over affected area.

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is antibacterial and antifungal and it is so soothing for any skin issues. You can add essential oils to treat nail fungus or to make bug repellent. (See the first source below for a couple of homemade toothpaste recipes.)

  • Use for oil pulling. Coconut oil is good for the teeth and gums and is reported to whiten the teeth. It can be used as a toothpaste alone or used as a base with other ingredients (see the first source below for homemade toothpaste recipes).
  • Irritated skin. Every variety of irritated skin will benefit from coconut oil. Great for baby’s bottoms and adult nether regions as well.

Ginger

One of ginger’s claims to fame is its ability to cure nausea. While garlic is miraculous for cleansing the body of parasites, viruses, and bacteria, it can cause severe nausea. Follow garlic with ginger to calm the stomach.

  • If fresh ginger is taken at the first sign of a migraine, it will stop a migraine before it can take hold. Juice fresh ginger with apples or apples and carrots. (We don’t get migraines, but we know people who do. This is a miraculous treatment.)
  • Chew ginger or juice it for a ginger shot.

These are the basics to always keep on hand. For a complete list of natural health care items to fully stock your “medicine chest” check out My Organic Pharmacy and Bullet Proof Your Immune System.

World”s Largest e-Wasteland…. Agbogbloshie, Ghana …

Ever wonder what happens to your electronics when you toss them out for the latest model? A child in Ghana might be picking over them right now.

It’s known by others as “Sodom and Gomorrah”. What was once a wetland has quickly turned into a vast wasteland filled with electronic equipment that the developed world has simply grown tired of. Welcome to Agbogbloshie, Ghana.

In the 1990s, as personal computers became more commonplace in wealthy countries, industrialized nations began to send functional, secondhand computers to West Africa as a way to reduce the “digital divide” between the rich and poor. However, as more electronics firms entered market and turnover rates inevitably increased, these transfers became less about aid and more about easy-outs for those who didn’t want to assume the industry’s increased recycling costs. Add to that grim economic conditions and living standards in other parts of Ghana and the fact that Agbogbloshie was home to refugees of the Kokomba and the Nanumba war, and it’s not unfathomable as to why the Accra suburb looks the way it does today.

While the UN’s Basel Convention is meant to prevent the proliferation of Agbogbloshies around the world, key parties–namely the United States, the biggest electronic waste exporter to Ghana–have not ratified it. For those countries that have done so, loopholes like labeling electronic waste as “development aid” or “second-hand products” make Basel’s requirements a lot less stringent. Hundreds of millions of tons of electronic waste are sent to Agbogbloshie every year, with workers (some starting at the age of six) ingesting carcinogens like cadmium, arsenic, lead and flame retardants every time they burn an electronic item in search of valuable metal. Most Agbogbloshie workers live on fewer than five dollars a day, and die from cancer in their mid 20s.

” சென்னை சாஃப்ட் வேர் என்ஜினீயர் அன்று …தென்னை விவசாயம் இன்று …” !!!

  • விவசாயி மருதமுத்து, அவரது மனைவி வாசுகி. படம்: என்.தங்கரெத்தினம்

இயற்கை விவசாய தென்னந்தோப்பு (உள்படம்) விவசாயி மருதமுத்து, அவரது மனைவி வாசுகி. படம்: என்.தங்கரெத்தினம்

விவசாயத்தைக் கைவிட்டு நகர்ப்புறங்களுக்கு குடிபெயரும் இன்றைய சூழலில் சாஃப்ட்வேர் இன்ஜினியர் இப்போது விவசாயத்துக்குத் திரும்பியுள்ளார்.

அதுவும் இயற்கை வேளாண் முறையின்மூலம் லட்சங்களைக் குவிக்கும் லாபகரமான தொழிலாகவும் விவசாயத்தை மாற்றி மற்றவர்களுக்கு முன்னோடியாகத் திகழ்கிறார் மருதமுத்து.

இயற்கை விவசாயத்தைக் கடைப்பிடித்து தென்னை சாகுபடி செய்தால் ஒரு தலைமுறை உட்கார்ந்து சாப்பிடலாம் என்பதை இவர் நிரூபித்துள்ளார். பட்டதாரி ஆசிரியரான தனது மனைவியுடன் கிராமத்தில் விவசாயத்தில் ஈடுபட்டு விவசாயமும் லாபகரமான தொழில்தான் என்பதை நிரூபித்துள்ளார்.

திண்டுக்கல் அருகே தவமடையில் 9 ஏக்கர் நிலத்தை வாங்கி அதில் இயற்கை முறையில் தனது மனைவி வாசுகியுடன் இணைந்து தென்னை, ரோஜா, சம்பங்கி மற்றும் காய்கறிகளை சாகுபடி செய்து வருகிறார்.

தனது அனுபவத்தைப் பற்றி அவர் கூறியது: “ஒவ்வொருஇளைஞர்களிடம் விவசாயி என்ற உள்ளுணர்வு தூங்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது. அதைத்தட்டி எழுப்பினால் அவன் விவசாயியாகி விடுவான். சென்னையில் சாஃப்ட் வேர்இன்ஜினியராக லட்சக்கணக்கில் சம்பாதித்தாலும், மனைவி, குழந்தைகளுடன் நேரத்தை செலவிட முடியவில்லை.

ஓய்வே இல்லாமல் ஓடிய நகர்ப்புற வாழ்க்கை மீது எனக்கு ஒரு கட்டத்தில் சலிப்பு தட்டியது. இந்தத் தொழிலை விட்டால் அடுத்து விவசாயம்தான் என்னுடைய தேர்வாக இருந்தது. அன்றாடம் விவசாயிகள் தற்கொலைனு வரும் செய்திகள் என்னை மிரட்டின. விவசாயித்தில் கால் அனாகாசு கூட மிஞ்சாதுப்பா என்று பலர் கூறினர்.

இயற்கை விவசாயம் என்றதும்,அதுவெல்லாம் நம்ம நிலத்தில் சாத்தியமில்லைனு பயமுறுத்தினர். விவசாயத்தை லாபகரமான தொழிலாக மாற்றி ஜெயித்துக் காட்ட வேண்டும் என்ற வெறி எனக்குள் இருந்தது. சொந்த ஊரில் 9 ஏக்கர் நிலம் வாங்கினேன். விவசாயம் செய்யத் தொடங்கினேன். படிச்ச படிப்புக்கு ஏற்ற வேலையை பார்க்காமல் விவசாயம் செய்ய வந்துட்டான்னு என்னை ஏளனம் செய்யாதவர்களே கிடையாது.

இன்று அவர்களே என்னிடம், என்ன பயிர் செய்யலாம், என்ன ரகம் பயிரிடலாம் என ஆலோசனை கேட்கின்றனர்.அந்த அளவுக்கு என்னுடைய தோட்டத்தில் இயற்கை முறையில் பயிரிட்ட தென்னை, சம்பங்கி, கால உணவு பயிர்களை ஒவ்வொன்றிலும் கைநிறைய வருமானம்கிடைக்கிறது.

கூலி வேலைக்கு ஆட்களை வைத்துக் கொள்வதில்லை. நானும்,எனது மனைவியுமே நாற்று நடுவோம். தண்ணீர் பாய்ச்சுவோம். அறுவடை செய்வோம். மார்க்கெட்டுக்கு எடுத்துச் செல்வோம். பெருமைக்காக சொல்லவில்லை. என்னை பார்த்து 100 இளைஞர்கள் விவசாயத்திற்கு வரனும்னு நினைச்சேன். இன்று ஒவ்வொரு மாவட்டத்திலும் 20, 30 படித்தவர்கள் விவசாயம்செய்கின்றனர். இது என்னுடைய இயற்கை விவசாயத்திற்கு கிடைத்த வெற்றி என்றார்.

திண்டுக்கல்லில் கடந்த 4 ஆண்டாக மழையே இல்லை. மாவட்டத்தில் 60 சதவீதம்தென்னை மரங்கள் அழிந்துவிட்டன. ஆனால், என்னுடைய தோட்டத்தில் ஒரு தென்னமரம் கூட பட்டுப் போகவில்லை. மொத்தம் 250 தென்னை மரங்கள் வைத்துள்ளேன். ஒரு மரத்தில் சாதாரணமாக 40 காய் கிடைக்கிறது. மாதம் 45 ஆயிரம் ரூபாய் வருமானம் கிடைக்கிறது. இவ்வளவுக்கும் தண்ணீரே பாய்ச்சுவதில்லை.

பராமரிப்பு செலவே இல்லை. அதற்குக் காரணம், இயற்கை விவசாயம் முறையில் செய்த நடவுமுறை. 4-க்கு 4 அடி என்ற அளவில் குழி தோண்டி, அதில் கப்பி மணல் கொட்டினேன். மாட்டு சாணம், சிறுநீரை அடி உரமாக போட்டு தென்னை மரக்கன்றுகளை நட்டேன். தென்னை மரம் அதிக தண்ணீரை ஈர்க்கும். கப்பி மணல் போட்டதால் மழைக் காலத்தில் தண்ணீரை ஈர்த்து வைத்துக் கொண்டு 3 முதல் 6 மாதம் வரை மரத்திற்கு தண்ணீர் கொடுக்கிறது. ஒரு தென்னை மரத்தின் வயது 80 ஆண்டு.

மனிதனின் சராசரி ஆயுள் 60 ஆண்டு. இயற்கை விவசாயத்தில் தென்னை மரங்களைப் பயிரிட்டால் ஒரு தலைமுறைக்கு உட்கார்ந்து சாப்பிடலாம். 60 சென்ட் நிலத்தில் சம்பங்கி பயரிட்டுள்ளேன். இதிலும் ஆண்டுக்கு ரூ. 5.50 லட்சம் வருமானம்கிடைக்கிறது. செலவு போக மாதம் 30 ஆயிரம் லாபம் கிடைக்கிறது. என்னுடையஅடுத்த இலக்கு ரோஜா. இப்போதுதான் ரோஜாவை இயற்கை விவசாயத்தில் சாகுபடி செய்துள்ளேன். இதிலும் நிச்சயம் ஜெயிப்போம்” என்றார் நம்பிக்கையுடன்.

” Why you are asked to Raise Your Window shades For Take off and Landing … ” ?

Have you ever wondered why cabin crew on commercial flights ask you to raise your window shade for takeoff and landing?

 

Window

We asked around the office and got all sorts of answers, from passenger curiosity to conspiracy theories about terrorism threats.

We decided to ask Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) corporate communications manager Peter Gibson to explain the real reason behind it.

“The simple answer is, for safety reasons,” Gibson told Business Insider Australia. “In case of an emergency, cabin crew need to decide which side of the aircraft is safest to disembark from. Leaving the window shade up allows them to make a quick call.”

Gibson said the measures were part of commercial airline safety procedures in Australia and applied to all large commercial aircraft.

Untold Story of MH 17… As Told By Russia Today ….

The Russian government's English news outlet, Russia Today, released a 26-minute documentary about the "untold story" of the MH-17 tragedy.

The film’s major thesis is that a BUK missile did not – and could not – have been what hit the MH-17 plane. Instead, it was actually a cannon fire from a (presumably) Ukrainian jet.

“The film attempts to establish what might have brought down the ill-fated airline and all 298 people abroad,” RT’s website says.

The mainstream consensus is that the plane was hit by a BUK missile fired by pro-Russia Ukrainian separatists.

And interestingly, Bellingcat’s Eliot Higgins points out that another Russian propaganda outlet disproves that the plane was shot down by a canon.

RT

RT: It Was A Fighter Jet

In the film, one female witness says that the plane “was flying, but there were literally no windows. Well, [the plane was] on the level of the tallest trees.”

“Within a couple of minutes, there was the sound of a plane flying away. There were two planes,” she insists.

This second plane, according to the RT documentary, is the jet that allegedly fired at the MH-17.

Later on in the film, a team tests the cannon fire on aircrafts, and compares the damage to the damage of the MH-17.

“Here the results of the strike,” a man says, and points to the damaged aircrafts. The documentary also shows a side-by-side comparison to the MH-17 debris.

RT

RT


However, Higgins has seen all of this and explain how the comparisons actually prove the opposite of what’s intended:

“Another example of MH17 entry holes comes from ANNA News, a Russian language news channel embedded with separatists in Ukraine. … as we can see, compared to the [RT] piece on the damage done to MH17 there’s a significant size difference.”

“Based on the Russian channel’s own tests it seems clear that the entry holes visible in the above examples do not match what’s shown in the Russian channel’s own tests. It seems that rather than prove MH17 was shot down by cannon fire as they claim, they’ve inadvertently provided evidence that it wasn’t,” he adds.

RT: Why it “could not” have been the BUK missile

18

RT

The documentary also attempts to disprove why the BUK missile could not have hit the MH-17.

Ivan Andrievsky, the vice president of the Russian Union of Engineers, says: “When a BUK missile is launched, it leaves a long vapor trail … This huge vapor trail would be about 15 kilometers long.”

“And given the meteorological conditions, [it would be visible for] up to 10 minutes. Imagine a huge vapor trail like that not being noticed by anyone,” he adds.

Nevertheless, all non-Russian analysis of the debris have concluded that the plane was most likelyhit by a missile.

The documentary concludes with an poignent interview of a victim’s parents, who visited the scene of the crash.

They were hoping that their daughter might have still been alive, and went toinvestigate for themselves.

“We are for peace. She was for peace. She is for peace. And she will forever be for peace,” says the father.

Image of the Day…Comet Siding Spring Near MARS !!!

Cool composite of Comet Siding Spring near Mars

Hubble image of close passage of Comet Siding Spring near Mars. The comet passed Mars at about a third the distance between Earth and the moon on October 19.

This composite NASA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the positions of comet Siding Spring and Mars in a never-before-seen close passage of a comet by the Red Planet, which happened at 2:28 p.m. EDT October 19, 2014. Image credit: NASA, ESA, PSI, JHU/APL, STScI/AURA

This NASA Hubble Space Telescope composite image captures the positions of Comet Siding Spring and Mars in a never-before-seen close passage of a comet by the Red Planet. The close encounter took place at 2:28 p.m. EDT October 19, 2014. The comet passed by Mars at approximately 87,000 miles, or about one-third of the distance between Earth and the moon! At that time, the comet and Mars were approximately 149 million miles from Earth.

The comet image shown here is a composite of Hubble exposures taken between Oct. 18, 8:06 a.m. EDT to Oct. 19, 11:17 p.m. EDT. Hubble took a separate photograph of Mars at 10:37 p.m. EDT on Oct. 18. It’s a composite image because a single exposure of the stellar background, comet Siding Spring, and Mars would be problematic. Mars is actually 10,000 times brighter than the comet, and so could not be properly exposed to show detail in the Red Planet. The comet and Mars were also moving with respect to each other and so couldn’t be imaged simultaneously in one exposure without one of the objects being motion blurred. Hubble had to be programmed to track on the comet and Mars separately in two different observations.

The Mars and comet images have been added together to create a single picture to illustrate the distance between the comet and Mars at closest approach. The separation is approximately 1.5 arc minutes, or one-twentieth of the angular diameter of the full moon. The solid icy comet nucleus is too small to be resolved in the Hubble picture. The comet’s bright coma, a diffuse cloud of dust enshrouding the nucleus, and a dusty tail, are clearly visible.
