How and what would you use to break the glass window screen in time. During rainstorm and flooding…if you get yourself in a situation where you are stuck in your car fast rising water …this can cause the car door to get jammed and you may end up drowning.
In fact, the quickest way on how to escape while being trapped in the car is just use the seat headrest; pull it out, do not use it to knock the window but with the lever principle, which was originally designed to take into account.
Please watch this video… it’s a life-saving tool in your car ….the headrest!
Instant Brick Paved Road.How good is this machine? No end to man's ingenuity.
Tiger-Stone is a Dutch paver laying machine that can produce brick roads. Paving bricks are dropped by front-end-loader onto the angled trough. Men help to spread them in the trough as they drop into the forming jig. As the electrically operated crawler moves forward along a pre laid sand base layer, all the stones are packed, gravity held together & descend the sloping ramp on to the road.
Why breast cancer is usually found near the armpit?
Dear Sisters and wives of my gentlemen friends,
I was informed by the Moderator of Women's workcom. that one of her rep. had been diagnosed with breast cancer and she is concerned that we should inform our friends about this. Ladies - some awareness!!! Gentleman - pass on to the ladies in your life, to all the women you know.
Some time ago, I attended a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar put on by Terry & A period. I asked why the most common area for Breast Cancer was near the armpit. My question could not be answered at that time. This e-mail was just sent to me, and I find it interesting that my question has been answered.
I challenge you all to rethink your every day use of a product that could ultimately lead to a terminal illness. As of today, I will change my use. A friend forwarded this to me. I showed it to a friend going through chemotherapy and she said she learned this fact in a support group recently. I just got information from a health seminar that I would like to share. The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant.
What? A concentration of toxins and leads to cell mutations, a.k.a. CANCER. Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an anti-perspirant /deodorant combination, so go home and check. Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not.
Here's why: The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind the knees, behind the ears, groin area, and armpits. The toxins are purged in the form of perspiration.
Anti-perspirant , as the name clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging toxins from below the armpits. These toxins do not just magically disappear. Instead, the body deposits them in the lymph nodes below the arms since it cannot sweat them out. Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes are located. Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted by anti- perspirant usage because most of the anti-perspirant product is caught in their hair and is not directly applied to the skin. Women who apply anti-perspirant right after shaving increase the risk further because shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin which give the chemicals entrance into the body from the armpit area.
PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about. Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may save lives.
Multistate Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Mexican Mangoes Canada, U.S. grocers recall mangoes imported from Mexico
by Helena Bottemiller |
Federal and state health officials are investigating a multistate, cross-border Salmonella outbreak linked to mangoes imported from Mexico, which may have sickened more than 100 people in the United States and Canada.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control have not yet released any information about the outbreak or announced a recall, but California, Washington, and Canada have all reported illnesses linked to the same strain of Salmonella Braenderup. California reported 73 ill, Washington reported 6 ill, and Canada has reported 22 illnesses linked to contaminated mangoes.
"Preliminary data indicate that mango consumption is associated with an increase in the number of Salmonella Braenderup cases in California," said California Department of Public Health spokesman Matt Conens on Monday. "As of today, there are 73 cases with this outbreak strain that have been confirmed."
Of the patients who have been interviewed in California, 67 percent reported eating mangoes, according to Conens, but state officials said they have not yet identified specific mango brand or source yet.
Washington state spokesman Donn Moyer told Food Safety News that while state officials do not have a conclusive link between those ill with the outbreak strain and mangoes, it is very unusual to see such an uptick in illnesses with that particular strain. Washington state has not reported anyone sickened with the same strain of Salmonella since the end of July.
California health officials said they are coordinating with other states, CDC, and FDA, as well as Canadian health officials.
CDC spokeswoman Lola Russell told Food Safety News that, as of Tuesday, California was taking the lead on the investigation, but federal officials were likely to "move forward within a few days." Russell estimated that there were approximately 101 illnesses so far linked to the outbreak and said that CDC would post an outbreak update as soon as more information is available.
"FDA is engaged in this investigation, which has been a fast-moving outbreak," said FDA spokeswoman Patricia El-Hinnawy. "Once FDA became involved we began coordinating with the state of California, which is leading the investigation, to get up to speed on the progress of their investigation. Once we can examine the information the state has collected first hand, we can make decisions on our next steps."
Over the weekend, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency recalled Daniella brand mangoes that were sold in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon between July 12 and August 14. The fruit, which were sold individually, may bear a sticker reading PLU# 4959.
U.S.-based grocery store Giant Food also recalled the same mangoes this week, which they said were sold between July 12 and August 24 with the same PLU. In a statement, the company said it was aware of illnesses reported in Canada and told customers to toss out the fruit and bring their receipts for a full refund.
Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. and a California-based produce distributor have also announced they are recalling the same fruit, but there is not yet information on which states the mangoes were shipped to.
Eating food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, a common food borne illness that can sometimes be life threatening, particularly to those with compromised or weak immune systems like small children, the elderly, or those undergoing chemotherapy.
Symptoms -- which include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever, chills, and vomiting -- can come on between 8 and 72 hours of consuming contaminated food. Anyone exhibiting symptoms and concerned they may have a foodborne illness should contact their healthcare provider.
Be sure to read Scene 3. Quite interesting. This is a new one. People sure stay busy. Trying to cheat us, don't they?
SCENE 1.
A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker. After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, 'Funny, I thought I locked the locker...Hmm, 'He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order. Everything looked okay - all cards were in place... A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of $14,000! He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions. Customer care personnel verified that there was no mistake in the system and asked if his card had been stolen... 'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made. An expired similar credit card from the same bank was in the wallet. The thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards.
Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them.How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy? $9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped? Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell' with some credit card companies. It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to big one!
============================
SCENE 2.
A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card. The bill for the meal came, he signed it and the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along. Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket. Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and behold, it was the expired card of another person. He called the waitress and she looked perplexed. She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.
All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card. No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology. (This scenario actually happened to me at a local restaurant- Falls Terrace-between the waitress and the front desk cashier.)
Verdict: Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours. Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period of time. Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, 'assuming' that it has to be theirs. FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!
==========================
SCENE 3:
Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in. I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly to my checking Account. The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure. While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing. I noticed the phone because it is the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a picture. He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons. Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of, oblivious to what was really going on. It then dawned on me: the only thing there was my credit card, so now I'm paying close attention to what he is doing..
He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open. About five seconds later, I heard the chime that tells you that the picture has been saved. Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a picture of my credit card. Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I probably would never have known what happened. Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card as I was walking out of the pizza parlor. All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless. Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card. Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days.
JUST BE AWARE. Never let your card out of your sight.....check and check again!

During an early morning response to a house fire, firefighters were amazed. A Mother dog risked her life to save her puppies from the fire surrounding the burning house. The Mother dog, Amanda, raced back and forth between the house, putting her 10 day old puppies in the safest place she could find - a Fire Truck! As a onlooker photographed it with his cell phone after she already had a few in one of the truck's equipment compartments. She didn't stop racing back into the smoke and fire until all of her puppies were safely away from the fire. The firemen on scene could not believe their eyes. Most people have never seen a dog this smart or this brave! Bringing each one out, six trips into the fire and no one could stop her. All the fireman could do was to try to keep a little water spray on her to keep from singing as she kept making trips running through the open door. You can see some of the singed hair on her back end, forehead and lower legs. After rescuing all of her pups from the blaze, Amanda sat down next to them to nurse, protecting them with her body. Onlookers called an emergency veterinary service and she and her pups were rushed to the hospital. Aside from one puppy being treated for serious burns, the entire family are alive and well! Thanks to the bravery of Amanda!
