Make Your Life Toxic-Free

You do a lot to keep your family healthy, but you may not have considered all the potential dangers of toxic chemicals in your surroundings. Toxic chemicals can be found in virtually all creatures and in all environments. An estimated 1,000 new chemicals enter the market every year, in addition to the tens of thousands of chemicals already in commercial use. Very few have been adequately tested for the threats they may pose to wildlife and humans. World Wild Life Organization has created a list of actions you and your family can take to reduce your consumption and use of toxic chemicals at home and in your community:
1.Buy organic cotton clothing, fruits and vegetables, and other goods.
2.Stop using pesticides. Green up your yard using natural methods.
3.Use environmentally friendly products in your home.
4.Avoid air fresheners and perfumed products. Freshen your air by opening windows, using baking soda, cedar blocks, or dried flowers.
5.Reduce use of plastic containers and food wrappings.
6.Urge your schools and communities to use non toxic cleaning products and to stop using pesticides.

Lesson Of The Day

“I have no connections, no money, no talent, no experience, no looks and no luck. I only have my brain and my determination. I wouldn’t count on the first too much, but with the second I’m sure I’ll figure out a way to make my dreams come true.” – a university colleague.

Is The Baby Right-Handed?

Scientists say it’s possible to predict whether the baby is going to be left- or right-handed by watching the preference of the 10 weeks fetus. Research found that if the fetus (during the 10th to 12th week) prefers using (moving or sucking) its right thumb more, then it’s so possible that the baby will be right-handed. These findings (by a group of researchers in Queens University-northern Ireland) contradict the common belief that says a person’s tendency towards using the left or right hand is determined only when the kid is 3 or 4 years old. There is no proof that this preference is due to brain control, but according to the researchers, this preference is simply because the fetus uses the side that has developed faster.

“Herobuilders”

The American toy company Herobuilders has come up with a new creation: plastic celebrities. Their collection includes politicians and religious figures.
A plastic, 30 Cm sized George W. Bush with movable body parts, hand-painted in the USA, costs $29.95, whereas Saddam Hussein, in his detainee look (with no muscles and in a white T-Shirt) costs $24.95. On the other hand, the company has also created a plastic “Jesus”, with a very special feature: speaking. All what one should do is press lightly on the stomach area of the plastic toy and it will say the 10 commendments in 20 seconds. And in case you would like to dress your favorite character your own style, then you don’t need to worry, the company has already provided jeans, dresses, shoes and so many accessories to suit your taste. Not only this, but they have also provided parts in case your plastic “hero” has broken a leg or lost an arm 😀

Lesson Of The Day

“An “easy to get angry” person, and even if he’s right, his bad temper will take control, he’ll sound guilty, he wont think properly, he’ll rush into decisions, which are wrong most of the time, causing him the loss of any case he’s in.”- My Dad.

MISS WAR 2004!

Many decades ago the whole world used to celebrate the event of Miss War, where contestants are chosen according to specific qualification. It turns out this competition took place some time earlier, but this time they want it the modern style: the Reality-TV style. It is so real that people didn’t notice it’s the Miss War competition. Now we’re in the final stages, and one of the two finalists is about to be the lucky Miss War 2004. But before I tell you who are the lucky ladies, let me first give you an idea about the requirements of this competition. The Ad of Miss War had the following part in it:
“The candidates should have the following qualifications:
·Tendency to kill innocent people, not for the heck of it, but for society’ own interest.
·Aggressiveness, violence and racism are highly recommended.
·Great interest in destroying homes of civilians, either by mistake, or for security reasons.
·Great ability in manipulating Media.
·Creativity, this includes making up excuses, lies and necessary rumors… just to add some suspense, that’s all.
·The will to spread pollution and endanger environment… just to awaken the spirit of challenge in the candidates.
·The ambition to fill the world with blood and dead bodies, in order to revive earth’s dull colors.
·Professionalism in threatening others as often as possible.
·Miss War must have a degree in Architecture, specialty in ugly stylish “barriers” is preferred.
·A required skill is sacrificing your own people, EVEN if they’re against what you do.
·A MUST-HAVE is financial support, look around, and get the closest source for this.”

And now that you have an idea about the conditions and requirements, I’m sure you can guess the finalists, YES the finalists are: Israel and USA. They are the best. And what makes them very special is that while competing on the title of Miss War, they actually support each other in their campaigns. What a lovely spirit!
Wake up people, your voting makes a difference, let your voices reach the whole world, let them know who deserves the title more, and good luck…
