POTATOES

2009-02-10T09:51:00.006+02:00

* The starch found in potatoes is easily digested, and for that reason potatoes are especially good for athletes.

* Potatoes contain fibre - especially if eaten with the skin. Fibre is essential for good digestion and helps prevent diseases of the digestive system.

* Potatoes are rich in vitamin C and also the B-complex vitamins. They are a good source of potassium (which prevents muscle cramps), and also contain magnesium, phosphorus & iron.

* Potatoes contain only 0,1% fat.

SOUTH AFRICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL LAWS

2009-02-09T08:39:00.005+02:00

IF PARENT CAN'T PAY, PUPIL CAN'T BE EXCLUDED

Legislation in South African Schools Act 84 0f 1996 (as amended) states

regulations

regarding the exemption of parents from payment of fees and so on.

If one looks at the S.A. Schools Act, Section 39 (5): "No public school may charge any registration, administration or other fee except school fees.

Section 41 (7); "A learner may not be deprived of his/her right to participate in all aspects of the programme of a public school despite the non-payment of school fees by his/her parent and may not be victimised in any manner, including, but not limited to the following conduct:

(a) Suspension from classes;
(b) Verbal or non-verbal abuse;
(c) Denial of access to -
1. cultural, sporting or social activities of the school; or
2. the nutrition program me of the school for those learners who qualify in terms of the applicable policy, or
(d) Denial of a school report or transfer certificate."

So, in terms of the Law, when a parent cannot afford to pay for fees or a tour, the pupil cannot be denied access to the tour.

The School Governing Body would need to consider what the fees cover and this would need to be relayed to parents at the annual general meeting or via a newsletter.

If one considers the guidelines for uniforms, the minimum requirements are clearly spelt out.

Schools are given top-ups of text books by Provincial departments, and this cost need not necessarily be borne by parents, as pupils can return books for re-use.

- Cathy Callaghan, secretary of the Governors' Alliance, a public school governing body association.

BANANAS - WONDER FRUIT

2009-02-06T17:23:00.009+02:00

A Professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain.

Read on:
Never, put your bananas in the refrigerator!!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain 3 natural sugars - sucrose, fructose & glucose ..combined with fibre.

A banana gives an instant, sustained & substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just 2 bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy is'nt the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses & conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:

According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:

Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia:

High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood & so help in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure:

This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium, yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much, the US Food & Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce blood pressure & stroke.

Brain Power:

200 Students At a Twickenham (Middlesex) school (England) were helped sthrough their exams this yeat by eating bananas at breakfast, break and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation:

High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxitives.

Hangovers:

One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomache and, with the help- of honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes & re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn:

Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:

Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep the blood sugar levels up & avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito Bites:

Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling & irritation.

Nerves:

Bananas are high in vitamin B that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight:

....and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austin found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolates & chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every 2 hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers:

The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of it's soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature Control:

Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical & emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):

Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking & Tobacco Use:

Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress:

Potassium is a vital mineral, which help normalizethe heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic ra rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes:

According to research in the New England Journal of Medicine, eatingbananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40 percent.

Warts:

Those keen on natural alternatives, swear that if you want to kill of a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape.

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins & minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. so, maybe it's time to change that well-known phrase, so that we say, " A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub it directly on the shoe.... polish with dry cloth..

HANGOVER CURE

2009-02-02T19:36:00.006+02:00

* Eat honey or syrup for breakfast. ( This is the little-known, but ideal way to undo the chemistry of a hangover - by helping provide the body with the sodium, potassium & fructose it needs to recover).

* Another suggestion is drinking a glass of milk before you go out drinking, as milk slows down the absorption of alcohol, which means there is less acetaldehyde for the body to deal with.

*Drink water between alcoholic drinks, as well as a glass before bed...

Visiting a village in a Third World nation, an American dignitary tells the local inhabitants,

"I bring you warm greetings from my people!"

The locals respond, "Kazanga!"

"We wish you prosperity!."

"Kazanga!" they bellow.

"I promise years of friendship and economic benefit!"

"Kazanga! Kazanga!"

As the dignitary leaves the podium, he tells the chief, "That went well."

"Uh-huh," the chief replies, adding,

"Look out! Don't step in the Kazanga."

Indian Chief 'Two Eagles' was asked by a White Government official, 'You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress and the damage his done.'

The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, 'Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?'

The Chief stared at the Government official for over a minute and then calmly replied. 'When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty Buffalo, plenty Beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night making love......'

Then the Chief leaned back and smiled, 'Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve on a system like that.'

A NEEDLE CAN SAVE THE LIFE OF A STROKE PATIENT

2009-01-29T19:27:00.005+02:00

When stroke strikes, the capillaries in the brain will gradually burst. (Irene Liu) When a stroke occurs, stay calm. No matter where the victim is, do not move him/her, because, if moved, the capillaries will burst.
Help the victim to sit up where he/she is to prevent him/her from falling over again and then the blood letting can begin. If you have , in your home, an injection syringe that would be best. Otherwise, a sewing needle or a straight pin will do.
Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it and then use it to prick the tips of all 10 fingers.

01. There are no specific acupuncture points; just prick about 1mm from the fingernail.

02. Prick till blood comes out.

03. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.

04. When all 10 digits are bleeding; wait a few minutes... then the victim should regain consciousness.

05. If the victims mouth is crooked, pull on his ears until they are red.

06. Then prick each earlobe twice until 2 drops of blood comes from each earlobe.

After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness. Wait till the victim regains his normal state without any abnormal symptoms then take him to the hospital. Otherwise, if he was taken in an ambulance, in a hurry, to the hospital, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries inhis brain to burst.

I (Professor. Irene Lui), learned about blood letting (to save life) from Chinese traditional doctor, Ha Bu Ting, who lives in San Juke. Furthermore, I had practical experience with it. Therefore, I can say this method is 100% effective.

In 1979, I was teaching in Fung Gaap College in Tai Chung. One afternoon, I was teaching a class when another teacher came running to my classroom and said (pantingly), Ms. Liu, come quick, our supervisor has had a stroke. I immediately went to the 3rd floor. When I saw our supervisor, Mr. Chen Fu Tien, his colour was off; his speech was slurred; his mouth was crooked - all the symptoms of a stroke. I immediately asked one of the students to go to the pharmacy, outside the school, to buy a syringe - which I used to prick Mr. Chen's 10 finger tips.
When all 10 finger tips were bleeding (each with a pin-sized drop of blood)... after a few minutes his face regained its colour and the eyes became clear.

But his mouth was still crooked. So, I pulled on his ears to fill them with blood. When his ears became red, I pricked his right earlob e twice to let out two drops of blood. When both earlobes had two drops of blood each, a miracle happened. Within 3 - 5 minutes the shape of his mouth returned to normal and his speech became clear.

We let him rest for a while; gave him a cup of hot tea and then we helped him down the stairs and drove him to Wei Wah Hospital. He rested one night and was released the next day to return to school to teach.

Everything worked normally. There were no ill after effects. On the other hand, the usual stroke victim usually suffers irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries on the way to hospital. As a result these victims never recover.

A STROKE is the 2nd highest cause of death. The lucky ones will stay alive, but can be paralyzed for life.

If we can all remember this blood letting method and start the life-saving process immediately.... you never know - the victim will be revived and regain 100% normality.

YOU NEVER KNOW....

YOU COULD BE INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING

SAVE A LIFE FROM A STROKE..!

JUST a THOUGHT..!

2009-01-29T09:30:00.006+02:00

JUST a THOUGHT...!

Ever played Monopoly? Funny how good it feels to be the winner; owning the best streets And having a few hotels while the cash is flowing,
but at the end of the game,
the winner has to put all the money, hotels & houses back into the box.
The same applies to life;
when you die everything has to go back into the box.

That brings us to the question of "what is success?"
To have all the money in the world?
To be a Director of a company?
To drive the most expensive car?
NO, it can't be,
because at the end, everything has to go....
back into the box - and when you get at the Gate
these things will not be your ticket to enter the Kingdom.

So, what is success?
To seek the Kingdom of God first
and all other things will be added unto you...
freedom, happiness, health, unity, prosperity, peace -
and the bonus is when you die, you will have Eternal Life.

BLOOD CLOTS/STROKES

2009-01-29T08:32:00.006+02:00

BLOOD CLOTS/STROKE

They now have a 4th indicator, the TONGUE

STROKE: Remember the 1st three letters........ S. T. R.

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call Paramedics)... she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, she went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Her husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to Hospital - (at 6:00 pm, she passed away). She had suffered a stroke at the BBq. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps she would be with us today. Some don't die.... they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this.......

A Neuorologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours, he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognised, diagnosed and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours.... which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remeber the '3' steps, STR. Read & learn.

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify'. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now Doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking 3 simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently)... (i.e. It is sunny out today).
R * Ask him/her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he/she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call Emergency call centre immediately & describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New signs of a stroke.......... STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE.

Note: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: ask the person to 'stick' out his/her tongue.... if the tongue is 'crooked'; if it goes to one side or the other.... that is also an indication of a stroke.

WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE COKE OR WATER...?

W A T E R

01. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the World).

02. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.

03. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism by 3%.

04. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs. (Results from almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.)

05. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

06. Preliminary research indicates that 8 - 10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back & joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

07. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic Maths and difficulty focusing on the Computer screen or on a printed page.

08. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%... and one is less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are YOU drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

C O K E

01. In many States, the Highway Patrol, carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

02. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in 2 days.

03. To clean a toilet: pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes the stains from vitreous China.

04. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of aluminium foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

05. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

06. To loosen a rusted bolt: apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

07. To bake a moist ham: empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap the ham in aluminium foil & bake. Thirty minutes before hame is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

08. To remove grease from clothes: empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

#1. The active ingredient in Coke is Phosphoric Acid. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years.

NOW
the question is:

Would you like a glass of Coke or water?

1. Israel became a state in 1312 b.c. , two millenia before Islam;

2. Arab refugees from Israel began calling themselves "Palestinians" in 1967, two decades after (modern) Israel statehood;

3. After conquering the land in 1272 B.C., Jews ruled it for a thousand years and maintained a continuous presence there for 3,300 years;

4. The only Arab rule following the conquest in 633 B.C. lasted just 22 years;
