Good Vision in Heavy Downpour

Not sure if this is true, haven't really try it myself. Have you? Mind to share a bit if you had?
_____________________________________________________________________

How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour? We are not sure why it is so  effective; just try this method when it rains  heavily.

This method was told by a  Police friend who had experienced and confirmed  it. It is useful...even driving at  night.

Most of the motorists would  turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers  during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in  front of the windshield is still  bad......

In the event you face  such a situation, just put on  your SUN  GLASSES (any  model will do), and miracle!

All of  a sudden, your visibility in front of your  windshield is perfectly  clear, as if there  is no rain.

Make sure you always  have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your  car.

You are not only helping  yourself to drive safely with good vision, but  also might save your friend's life  by giving him  this idea..

Try it yourself and  share it with your  friends!???

Amazing, you still see  the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet  of rain falling!

You can see where the  rain bounces off the road.  It works to  eliminate the "blindness" from passing  cars.                      

Or the  "kickup" if you are following a car in the  rain.

They ought  to teach this little tip in driver's training..   It really does work.

This is  a good warning. I wonder how many people knew  about this.

Another good  tip

A 36 year old female had an  accident several weeks ago. It was raining,  though not excessively and her car suddenly  began to hydro-plane and literally flew  through the air.    She was not seriously injured but  very stunned at the sudden occurrence!   When she explained to the highway  patrolman what had happened,

He told her  something that every driver should know  - NEVER DRIVE  IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL  ON ... 

 
She thought   she was being cautious by setting the  cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent  speed in the rain.. But the highway patrolman  told her that if the cruise control is on, your  car will begin to hydro-plane when the tires  lose contact with the pavement, and your car  will accelerate to a higher rate of speed  making you take off like an  airplane.

She told  the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred.  The patrolman said this warning should be listed,  on the driver's seat sun visor - NEVER USE THE  CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR  ICY, along with  the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set  the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but  we don't tell  them to use the cruise control only when the  pavement is dry.

The only person, the  accident victim found, who knew this (besides the  patrolman), was a man who had a similar accident,  totaled his car and sustained severe injuries.

Eggs: No Longer A Forbidden Food


Bentuckee's note:
I don't know how true is this but it's worth to read. I hope it's true because I'm an egg lover!! Life is just so boring without eggs! I hope I can eat it till the last day I'm on earth. 
Remember the days when you could enjoy your eggs sunny side up or in a nice fluffy omelet without worrying about your heart and nasty gobs of cholesterol clogging your arteries?

What happened to those days?

Let me tell you a little story…

It all starts back in the early 70’s when leisure suits and wood paneling were in fashion… it’s also when the whole connection between cholesterol and heart health all began.

Sometime around 1972, the American Heart Association issued a report that stated that you should limit the amount of eggs you eat so you can reduce cholesterol intake.

All of a sudden…practically overnight… the poor little egg got a bad rap and became labeled the “forbidden food” of our time.

As a result, for years we were told by so-called “health experts” that we should eat no more than three per week or any at all!

The egg became Public Enemy #1… especially those evil little yolks…they were the “brains” behind the egg’s artery invasion.

So then the egg white omelet was born.

Truth be told… the thought process behind the whole theory was sound…

These “experts” thought that because eggs have cholesterol in them (especially in those nasty little yolks) so common sense says that they must raise cholesterol levels in our blood.
Right?
Wrong!

But studies now show that this theory is seriously flawed.

For example, the Framingham Heart Study found that egg consumption was
unrelated to blood cholesterol levels or heart conditions.. and that includes the yolks.

In another 14-year study… 117,000 nurses and health professionals found that there was no difference in the risk for coronary heart problems between those who ate less than one egg per week and those who ate more than one egg per day..

So forget what you used to hear about our buddy the egg… because once you set aside the “Egg Myth”… you’ll see just how healthy and nutritious they really are.
Eggs are a great source of protein, providing 5.5 grams of protein per egg and only about 70 calories.

They are also the most complete source of protein…that means they have all the nine essential amino acids that your body needs… and amino acids are the “building blocks” of muscle and other tissues in the body!

Eggs are also chock-full of vitamins, such as: A, B, C, D, E and K; as well as minerals (iron, zinc, selenium), as well as antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin.
And just look what these little guys do… 
Protects Eyesight: Lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants found in egg yolks, help prevent age-related eye problems.

Even better research shows that the lutein from eggs is more easily absorbable by your body than lutein from other food sources.
Regulates the Brain and Nervous System: Egg yolks are the richest source of choline, a member of the vitamin B family, you can get.

It supports your brain and nervous system function by maintaining the structure of brain cells, and is a key component of the neuro-transmitter acetylcholine that helps relay messages from the brain and through nerves to the muscles.
 
Promotes healthy pregnancy: Choline is also an essential nutrient that contributes to fetal brain development. Two eggs provide about 250 milligrams of choline, or about half of the recommended daily intake for pregnant or breastfeeding women. 

Protects Heart Health: Since choline is one of the B vitamins (including B-12), it works as a powerful antioxidant, converting homocysteine…. a substance that can cause damage to your blood vessels…into harmless molecules.
What’s more… eggs are a good source of omega-3s. And omega 3’s live up
to their hype, as multiple studies show that omega-3s lower your risk
of developing heart problems.

Promotes weight Loss: The high-quality protein in eggs helps keep you feeling fuller longer. In fact, during research people reported feeling less hungry and reduced their caloric intake after eating eggs.

Builds muscle strength: Research shows that high-quality protein like=20 eggs can help active adults build muscle strength and help prevent muscle loss…and other studies show that choline found in eggs may even help prevent muscle damage. 

Strengthens Bones: Ordinarily vitamin D is produced by your skin in response to exposure to sunlight. But eggs are one of the few foods that offer vitamin D radiation free.

Vitamin D’s main job is to strengthen your bones by raising calcium absorption.

But it does a lot more than that...
It also helps boost your immune system, regulate your blood pressure, and regulate cell growth.

So you see, those days of enjoying eggs are not gone at all.

So don’t be afraid to crack open some incredible edibles!

But before you set down to your sunny side up smorgasbord, there are just a few things you need to consider…

Not all eggs are the same.

You might want to try organic, free-range eggs.

Yes… they are a little more expensive…but these eggs that come from cage free chickens tend to produce eggs that are higher in protein and vitamins.

And with organic you can rest assured that harmful hormones don’t end up in your morning omelet.

Two reasons that make the extra money worth it!

Here are also some tips for maintaining the freshness of your eggs.

. Store them in the refrigerator where they can stay up to a month.

· Don’t wash them because it can remove the protective coating on them.

· Keep them in the original carton or a covered container so they don’t
absorb the odors in your fridge or lose any of their moisture.

· I know many people like to store them on the fridge door, but that’s
not a good idea. Each time the door is opened and closed the eggs are exposed to too much heat. Keep them on the shelve in a covered container.

· Store them with their pointed edge facing downward to prevent the
air chamber and the yolk from shifting.

Fruit Label

Bentuckee's note: 
I got this mail some time ago but then still, I never do as it says... perhaps this is a good reminder to you and me.
Read the Numbers on Your Fruit
 
I just found this out about a month ago and I've been an organic vegan for over four years, go figure. That just goes to say that we must all remain as students and continue to learn and learn never stop studying and gaining new information.
 
Okay, so what did I learn? 
I learned that sticker labels on the fruits actually tell you how the fruits have been grown whether they were organically grown or conventionally grown with pesticides and herbicides; oh, and let's not forget about the genetically engineered fruits.


Conventional Fruit Labels 
 
Four digits and does not start with 9
** mostly starting with the digit 4
 
Organic Fruit Labels
 
Five digits and starts with number 9
 
Genetically Modified Fruits
 
Start with the digit 8 
So next time you go shopping, remember these critical numbers and know
how to avoid purchasing inorganic and GMO fruits. 
Shop Safe :)
 
This is good to know because stores aren't obligated to tell you if a fruit has been genetically modified
 
Okay, so if you come across an apple in the store and it's label is 4922, it's an conventional apple grown with herbicides and harmful fertilizers. If it has a sticker 99222, it's organic and safe to eat.
If it says 89222, then RUN!!!! I t has been genetically modified (GMO).

1 egg + 2 mobiles

I don't how true is this. But if it's true, then don't do big business by listening to 2 mobile phones at a time for more than 65 minutes. You will see why...

1 Egg, & 2 Mobiles 

65 minutes of connection between mobiles.
We assembled something as per image: 

 
Initiated the call between the two mobiles and allowed 65 minutes approximately...
During the first 15 minutes nothing happened;
25 minutes later the egg started getting hot;
45 minutes later the egg is hot;
65 minutes later the egg is cooked.
 
Conclusion: The immediate radiation of the mobiles has the potential to modify the proteins of the egg. Imagine what it can do with the proteins of your brains when you do long calls. Please try to reduce long time calls on mobile phones and pass this mail to all your friends & Family you care for.


Scared?
