Toe Rings

Toe rings are worn by many women these days. Actually, it is very much part of an Indian tradition. But nowadays, wearing toe rings is more of a style statement than a part of tradition. Married Indian women are expected to wear toe rings on both their feet. Indian women wear the toe ring on their second toe. The earliest references to toe rings can be found in the Hindu epic Ramayana. It is believed that when Ravana kidnapped Sita, she threw her toe rings on the way to Lanka (now Sri Lanka) so that Rama (her husband) could find her. So the tradition for married women to wear this piece of jewellery is ancient.

Now it seems that toe rings are much more than mere fashion or even tradition. Wearing toe rings has health benefits too. This age old custom seems to have been designed with a health perspective in mind. Or rather, it is would be fair to call it an ancient fertility ritual that still works. The health benefits of wearing toe rings is actually associated with a woman's fertility. Here are some of the major Health benefits of wearing toe rings. Regular Menstrual Periods The main reason why Indian women wear toe rings after marriage is to regulate their menstrual cycle. The exact reason for this connection between toe rings and menstrual cycles is not clear. But it has something to do with a nerve that passes through the second toe on both your feet. Pressing this nerve is supposed to ensure that your periods are regular. Now you already know that having regular menstrual cycle helps you to conceive easily. In the modern context, menstrual regularity is much more than a mere fertility ritual. Most women do not have regular periods due to unhealthy and stressful lifestyles. That is why, wearing toe rings could be a natural remedy for menstrual problems for such women.

You must have noticed that toe rings are always worn on both feet. This is to maintain a balance of energies. The nerve that passes through the second toe also passes through the uterus and heart. So wearing the toe ring on both rings ensure that a balance is maintained in your uterus. This also helps women to maintain their fertility and reproductive health. Good Conductor Of Energy The toe rings that Indian women wear are always made of silver. Now the metal silver is a good conductor of energy. So when you walk on the earth, the silver toe rings absorb all the positive energy from the earth and transfer it to your body. According to Ayurveda, it is good to have some metal on your body.

Ways to Protect Yourself from Cellphone Radiation

It's official! Health experts are beginning to take the risk of cellphone radiation seriously, and the WHO's latest report confirms many peoples' suspicions about the risks of wireless technology. With this latest "news" in mind, preventative measures to limit your exposure to potentially harmful cellphone radiation have become all the more salient. So to be sure you don't regret the countless hours you've whiled away on your beloved cellphone, here are our top five ways to mitigate your exposure to cell phone radiation!

FLIGHT MODE

Most people don’t know this, but many phones now have a function that allows their cellphones to be used on airplanes. Because airplane mode cuts off all wireless transmissions from your cellular device, it also stops all risk of cellphone radiation too! So if you’re not using your phone for an extended period of time, then either turn it off, or put it on airplane mode. Because the phone uses less energy to operate when wireless transmissions are halted, it also saves battery, which makes your technology use just a tiny bit more efficient.


PROTECT YOUR FAMILY JEWELS

Where is the number one place to carry a cellphone? For the ladies, it might be a purse, but for all of us purse-less males and females, our default carrying vessel for phones is most commonly our front pocket. But when you start to consider that your cellphone is essentially a miniature antennae constantly receiving and broadcasting information, then the close proximity of the front pocket to certain… ahem… organs becomes a major concern. The answer? If you’re carrying your phone in your pocket, then either turn it off, or put it on airplane mode. If there are potential health hazards for having a phone near your head, then you can only imagine the risks involved with carrying it right next to your baby maker.

SLEEP SOUNDLY

For many people, the cellphone follows us all throughout the day, even into the bedroom. Many people place their cellphone at their bedside table before catching their nightly z’s and think nothing of it. But many experts believe that this not only disturbs sleep, but can worsen some of the potential health risks. If you sleep an average of 6-10 hours a night with your phone within a 6′ radius from your head, then you’re only worsening your exposure. Again, either turn your phone off, or put it on airplane mode and use it as your alarm clock like I do. Similarly, wifi routers should stay out of the bedroom as well, and some sleep experts even recommend removing electronics from the bedroom altogether. You don’t have to go overboard, but begin thinking about creating a space that is ideal for sleeping, and relegate electronics to other parts of the home.

REV UP YOUR TEXTING FINGERS

As obvious as it may seem, sending a text to someone requires a lot less signal power than calling your friends and family. So when it’s appropriate, opt for sending texts instead of spending those extra minutes talking on the phone. Although you might seem like an automatron to older generations, texting is the way to go if you’re aiming to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure.

USE AN EMF PROOF HEADSET

There are a few of these on the market, and we expect a broader variety of products to appear in the wake of this news. The technology works just like a stethoscope and allows the user to hear their telephone conversations without the use of wires, which conduct potentially harmful cellphone transmissions directly into the user’s ear. One of the most respected products on the market for “radiation free” headsets is called “blue tube” technology. Look around and see which one fits your specific cell phone. If you’re not in a position to invest in a new headset, use speaker mode when talking on the cellphone and place your phone at least 5 feet away from you, but not so far that the person on the other line can’t hear you. Again, the farther the better.

The internet (as always) has a plethora of information surrounding cellphone radiation and EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure. Dr. Mercola in particular has been warning the public about the dangers of cellphone radiation for years, and even began a website devoted entirely to the study of EMF’s. While he’s known to be a bit of a salesman at times, it doesn’t discredit the fact that he has pioneered much of the existing medical advocacy surrounding the potential risks of EMF’s and cellphone radiation. So, educate yourself, be cautious, and most importantly, everything in moderation!

Annalakshmi Restaurant

18/3, Rukmani Lakshmipathy Road | Near Rani Meyyammai Hall, Chennai (Madras) 600008, India

SThe complete experience right from booking a table was wonderful. The good thing about the restaurant is that booking is mandatory; arrival time to the restaurant is confirmed during the booking and it avoids waiting for tables. Spacious parking is available which saves the fuss about locating a parking slot. The ambience inside the restaurant is serene, with magnificent paintings arranged on the walls artistically. Both buffet and a la carte services are available (We had gone for the buffet lunch). The buffet menu had both north Indian and south Indian dishes. The taste of all the items was divine, with the service by the staff courteous. Tomato soup was served as starter. Roti, Butter naan, Paneer gravy, a vegetable gravy, dal, vegetable pulav, paani poori, bisibelabath, curd rice, appalams, vadams were there for the main course. Salads, gulab jamun, laddu, cake, ice cream, lemon juice were available in the desserts section. The meal was completed with a banana and a beeda. The cost of buffet lunch was Rs.400 + taxes. In all, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

I decided to check out this much talked about restaurant in Chennai and landed there this afternoon with a friend. Had pre-booked in advance for their fine dine silver service section - Swarna. Was pleasantly surprised when i got a call this morning for a reconfirmation of my table reservation - thats a good follow up system, i say to myself, but pray why the lady on the other side only speak Tamil (this was the case when i called for my table reservation 2 days ago too) and my plea to converse in English fell to deaf ears. Its Tamil land but are they only wanting to serve to their own!! But that did not deter me and we landed for our lunch this afternoon.

As you enter the restaurant and the lovely decor convinces you that you are going to have a good afternoon indeed. You are escorted to your table and are greeted in a most hospitable manner by your server. His smile puts you at ease.

We select our drinks (from the drinks menu - all non alcoholic beverages, but naturally) and ask for the lunch menu but are told that there is a thali which is being served. So we insist on seeing the menu and with a bit of reluctance, are handed one (each). Why the reluctance - no idea, maybe lest we go for a-la-carte option?!

We opt for the Preetibhojan Thali. In the meanwhile our fresh pomegranate juice, Anarkali arrives. Excellent.......one can come back to this place simply for this juice. It was fresh and wonderfully refreshing. The Thali arrives.....we start with the soup (made with green leafy veg), verdict - very tasty. No cream, no masalas, simple and yet so tasty. The appetiser - simple and so very tasty. As far as the main course component of the Thali goes, its a mixture of North Indian and South Indian. Its like having a simple, healthy and freshly done home cooked meal.
On finishing the meal, the finger bowls arrive - rose water with a lime slice. Its silver service all the way - from cutlery to the plates, not to forget the ever courteous servers.
Whether the food justifies the tag of Rs 675/- each thali or not, but I say you are paying for the whole experience and not to forget, "charity" and I say, "its worth it!"

Reason behind Punishment

Remember the ‘good’ old Indian school punishments? Holding the earlobes with arms crossed over your chests, bending the knees and then sit and then stand and so on till the time Masterji is saying?

Ever thought why the traditional Indian school teachers would give this particular punishment? I believe even majority of the teachers who grant this punishment to their students do not know the reason behind it. This form of punishment has been in practice in our country since the Gurukul time and was given to the students who were weak in studies. That is a different question if now a days teachers grant this punishment for any mistake and not only for studies but originally it was meant for weak students only.
Talking about the logic behind this punishment, it is very interesting to know that this particular posture increases the blood flow in the memory cells in brain and synchronizes the right and left side of the brain to improve function and promote calmness, stimulates neural pathways via acupressure points in the earlobe, sharpens intelligence and also helps those with autism, asperger’s syndrome, learning difficulties and behavioral problems.

Probably we have forgotten this ancient method of increasing memory power but the West is now using is very diligently and they are recommending this posture or exercise to treat many a diseases.

REAL STORY OF AMERICAN DOLLAR VS INDIAN RUPEE

An Advice to all who are worrying about fall of Indian Rupee.
Throughout the country please stop using cars except for emergency for only seven days (Just 7 days)
Definitely Dollar rate will come down. This is true. The value to dollar is given by petrol only.This is called Derivative Trading. America has stopped valuing its Dollar with Gold 70 years ago.
Americans understood that Petrol is equally valuable as Gold so they made Agreement with all the Middle East countries to sell petrol in Dollars only. That is why Americans print their Dollar as legal tender for debts. This mean if you don't like their American Dollar and go to their Governor and ask for repayment in form of Gold,as in India they won't give you Gold.

You observe Indian Rupee, " I promise to pay the bearer..." is clearly printed along with the signature of Reserve Bank Governor. This mean, if you don't like Indian Rupee and ask for repayment,Reserve Bank of India will pay you back an equal value of gold.(Actually there may be minor differences in the Transaction dealing rules, but for easy comprehension I am explaining this)

Let us see an example. Indian petroleum minister goes to Middle East country to purchase petrol, the Middle East petrol bunk people will say that liter petrol is one Dollar.
But Indians won't have dollars. They have Indian Rupees. So what to do now? So That Indian Minister will ask America to give Dollars. American Federal Reserve will take a white paper , print Dollars on it and give it to the Indian Minister. Like this we get dollars , pay it to petrol bunks and buy petrol.

But there is a fraud here. If you change your mind and want to give back the Dollars to America we can't demand them to pay Gold in return for the Dollars. They will say " Have we promised to return something back to you? Haven't you checked the Dollar ? We clearly printed on the Dollar that it is Debt"
So, Americans don't need any Gold with them to print Dollars. They will print Dollars on white papers as they like.

But what will Americans give to the Middle East countries for selling petrol in Dollars only?

Middle East kings pay rent to America for protecting their kings and heirs. Similarly they are still paying back the Debt to America for constructing Roads and Buildings in their countries. This is the value of American Dollar. That is why Many say some day the Dollar will be destroyed.

At present the problem of India is the result of buying those American Dollars. American white papers are equal to Indian Gold. So if we reduce the consumption of petrol and cars, Dollar will come down

The Above Details are translated originally from Telugu Language to English by Radhika Gr.
Kindly share this and make everyone aware of the facts of American Dollar V/s Indian Rupee.

And here is a small thing other than petrol , what we can do to our Indian Rupee

YOU CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS:-

Please spare a couple of minutes here for the sake of India.
Here's a small example:-

Before 12 months 1 US $ = INR Rs 39
After 12 months, now 1 $ = INR Rs 62

Do you think US Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.

Our economy is in your hands.INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries, is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation. More than 30,000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages, etc. which are grown, produced and consumed here.

A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paise to produce, is sold for Rs.9 and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy. We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interest we request everybody to use INDIAN products only at least for the next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the Rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future.

What you can do about it?
Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.Each individual should become a leader for this awareness. This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.

Daily products which are COLD DRINKS,BATHING SOAP ,TOOTH PASTE,TOOTH BRUSH ,SHAVING CREAM,BLADE, TALCUM POWDER ,MILK POWDER ,SHAMPOO , Food Items etc. all you need to do is buy Indian Goods and Make sure Indian rupee is not crossing outside India.

Every INDIAN product you buy makes a big difference. It saves INDIA. Let us take a firm decision today.

we are not anti-multinational. we are trying to save our nation. every day is a struggle for a real freedom. we achieved our independence after losing many lives.

they died painfully to ensure that we live peacefully. the current trend is very threatening.

multinationals call it globalization of indian economy. for indians like you and me, it is re-colonization of india. the colonist's left india then. but this time, they will make sure they don't make any mistakes.

russia, s.korea, mexico - the list is very long!! let us learn from their experience and from our history. let us do the duty of every true indian. finally, it's obvious that you can't give up all of the items mentioned above. so give up at least one item for the sake of our country!

Google AdSense - 3

If you are ready to start making a little extra incomefrom your website, there are a few things you need to know. Adsense can be extremely powerful when implemented correctly.

Here are some easy Adsense tips that will give you great results.

1. Use Better Keywords

Keywords are the bread and butter of all these earnings. If you’re using highly competitive keywords you’re not going to rank as well as if you were using lower competitive keywords. The Google AdWords Tools is great for finding low competition keywords for your articles and blog posts. This is a free tool offered by Google, but there are more powerful tools out there like Market Samuri and Keyword Elite. These are trusted names and work very well.

2. Have Proper Keyword Density

Check your keyword density before you post an article onto your website or blog. Your keyword density is going to determine the relevance to your niche and will improve your trafficin the search engines. It’s pretty much a given that when you have more traffic you’re going to get more clicks.

However, your keyword density is also going to determine the kinds of advertising is posted onto your site. There is nothing worse than having a niche site for toddles and having an Adsense ad that has to do with body cream. Use a keyword density tool so your post isn’t marked as spam. This will also help you in the even that you need to boost the density.

3. Put Up New Content

Writing new content every day is not some great revelation, but it is proven to generate traffic to your website. Make sure that you are using the best keywords and the best keyword density in your posts. Try to post a new page to your website every day. When you post a new page you are increasing the chances that somebody will click on your ads.

4. Choose The Best Formats

Adsense comes in a lot of different formats. When you’re choosing the format for your blog or website, you want to use the banners for the top part of your website and the squares for the sides. The best formats are the 336×280 large rectangle ads, 160×600 skyscraper ads and the 300×250 medium rectangle ads. These are more aesthetically appealing to the reader and present the text in a readable format.


5. Color Coordinate The Ads

When you’re using Google AdSense with your website, you want to make sure that the ads look like they are part of the site. People are more likely to click on something that doesn’t look like an ad. You want to make it look like they are clicking on a link that will take them to a different page on your site.

Make sure that the border colors, the background colors, link colors and the text colors all match your site. You can do this through the control panel. You can even rotate the color palettes to make create a variety of colors when somebody visits your site.

6. Position The Ads Well

The position that your ads are in is very important to getting clicks. When somebody comes to your website, they scan the headlines to see if the information is relevant to their search. Using the links as navigational links around your website is one of the best methods of positioning.

Put your links at the top and bottom of the content pages instead of on the side. Remember that you want the links to look like they’re part of your site. When you position them between at the top and bottom of your content pages you are more likely to get clicks.

7. Don’t Use Too Many Ads

You can go overboard with your ads. Having too advertising on your website will leave the reader wondering what they need to click for information. This can also look like spamming, something that you never want to do.

Readers are humans and they don’t want a website that is specifically made for Google AdSense. They are there for your content so make sure that the content comes before the ads. Two to three ads on your site is the best amount to have.

• Consuming fruits rich in Vitamin A is effective in sinusitis. One of the richest sources of the vitamin is mango. So, patients suffering from sinus should have lots of mangoes. Other food products rich in Vitamin A include pumpkin, leafy vegetables, egg yolk, tomatoes, papaya, carrots, curd and whole milk.

• Roast 100 grams of cumin seeds and mix them with 200 grams of pure ghee. Consume daily. It is one of the most effective ways to cure sinusitis.

• Take a tsp of black cumin seeds and tie them in a thin cloth. Inhaling from the cloth would be effective in reducing sinusitis.

Hidden Treasures - 6

The Amber Room
The people, who saw it before it was lost, called it the eighth wonder of the world. We’re talking about a three square meters room with four beautifully sculpted amber panels as walls, gold-frame mirrors and four Florentine mosaics. The amber was studded with jewels and the room itself housed one of the most beautiful collections of Russian and Prussian art. It was created for King Frederic I of Prussia, but was given to Peter the Great of Russia, as a gift.

A replica of the amber room is on display at Catherine Palace, in Russia.

During World War II, when Hitler attacked Saint Petersburg, the Russians tried to move the amber room, but the walls were cracking, so they decided to cover it with wallpaper. Unfortunately, they failed and the Nazis found the prized treasure and took it with them to Konigsberg Castle, where it remained until the end of the war.

When Konigsberg Castle was inspected, the room was nowhere to be found. Some say the Russians destroyed the amber room when they bombarded the castle or when Konigsberg burned, soon after it surrendered, while others say that it is buried in a bunker somewhere.

The Ark of the Covenant

To the old Israelis, the Ark of the Covenant was the most sacred thing on Earth. It was said the precious chest was created by God himself, from acacia wood, plated with pure gold. The chest featured a lid with two gold cherubim looking at each other. It contained many holy relics, including the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments.

The Ark of the Covenant was housed in the Temple of Solomon, in Jerusalem, the capital of Judea. In the year 600 BC, the city was attacked and conquered by the Babylonians, after a conflict that claimed the lives of over one million people. 17 years later, when the Israelis reclaimed Jerusalem, the Ark of the Covenant was gone. The Babylonians may have destroyed the priceless artifact, but some believe it was taken by God, for protection.

The Treasure of the Pharaohs

When the tomb of Tutankhamen was discovered, in 1922, archeologists were amazed by the riches buried with the pharaoh. It took scientists years to examine all the jewels, but when they discovered all the other tombs in the Valley of the Kings, they realized they were all empty. Grave-robbers surely worked their magic on the burial places, before archeologists discovered them, but it would be impossible for a few petty thieves to transport all those riches.

Some historians believe the pharaohs’ tombs were raided during the twelfth Egyptian dynasty, when a certain Heribor was in charge of re-burials, during which time he had the opportunity to take whatever he wanted from the tombs. Many believe that when Heribor’s burial place will finally be unearthed, the lost treasures of the pharaohs will finally be revealed.

Things to do Before Applying for Google AdSense

Google AdSense, the largest global advertising network and Pay Per Click Program. The pay rate is better than all the other networks are so popular because it is the largest of all the bloggers and Webmasters. But since everyone is running behind them, they have very strict approval system. Here the best Tips to Do Before Applying for Google AdSense:

Privacy Policy Page
One of the most common mistakes that every blogger does and I’ve done many times before getting approved. Although there are people out there that say they have a privacy policy for a blog does not make sense, but wrong.

Privacy describes readers about what they’re getting in your blog, what to do and what not to. So obviously, there is nothing wrong with having a privacy policy. Although it may affect in any way approved AdSense, you should give it a try.

 Copyright Policy Page
Create a Copyright Policy Page.

 Disclaimer Page
You can also create a free Disclaimer Page in your blog.

 About Page
About Page has a greater role and importance if you want to apply for AdSense. But when it comes to AdSense, they are about zero chance of being approved if you are not showing this page page. About Page just described about you and your blog. This not only will help you establish a relationship with readers, but will also trust you.

 Contact Us Page
It is clear that everyone has his/her own opinion. What one of your readers would like can be annoying to someone else. Than it is better to give them the opportunity to talk to you and tell you how they feel about your blog, they want to be published, what they liked or hated.

Also display Google AdSense team is viewing your site that really cares about its readers, not just money and AdSense.

Name/ Email Verification
Make sure your name and email address easily placed in a visible area like Contact pages.

Your Age Verification
Make sure your age must 18+ age before Applying for Google AdSense.

Traffic Matters a Lot
If you site getting low traffic, than first focus your site traffic by posting useful contents in your site also updated fresh posts.

Your Website/Blog Minimum Number of Posts
Here’s an exact answer. Not one. Because I’ve seen very established blogs with 400 posts + and its owner told me that Google AdSense rejects them. Exactly what I said that there is no real answer. However, we can always predict things. In my experience, it should only be applied after more than 80 messages. Posts length should be 500 words + too, also make sure all posts are unique and fresh.

Design of your Website/Blog
Your blog is the greatest thing after Content. This is their expertise, experience and professionalism. So be careful because anything can kill your chances.

Top Level Domain
Those who have gone far when used to approve AdSense on “WordPress.com” or “Blogspot” blogs . As for today, must have its own unique domain that specifies your blog. If you do not have one yet, stop dreaming of being approved with sub domains and go buy a top-level domain.

Never Use Other Ad Networks Along with AdSense
If you have any other ads placed as Chitika, Clicksor or anything, it’s time to leave.

Even Google AdSense allows you to use other advertising networks, along with them, it is best to remove the ads before applying and not put back to elicit a response from AdSense Team.

Don’t use Paid Traffic System in your Blog
Google hates sites that are getting paid traffic and especially punishes them for what is not a damn chance to get AdSense approval letter for a site that is getting paid traffic. You can bring search engine traffic or any other way you want, but if you want to earn through Google AdSense correctly, paid traffic is not a solution.

Google AdSense - 2

3. Update your Contents on a regular basis!
It is true that the older articles get, the more they are shared among readers and the stronger their presence on their internet grows. And the stronger its presence is, the more people visit it and the more revenue GoogleAds placed next to it earn. However, this situation is applicable to articles that have the potential to appeal to readers over a long period of time. A few categories such as health, education and relationships are better able to retain the longevity of their articles. Others however serve readers best with fresh content.

Hence, to be able to generate lots of traffic and remain in Google’s ‘good’ books, make sure that you continuously update your blogs/websites with the latest info on the topics the platforms are about.

4. Positioning AdSense
Perhaps the most important thing to do is to place GoogleAds on your website in a highly effective way.

There are three things that you must keep in mind when configuring the settings.

a. Size

The basic rule that you must follow when placing ads on your website/blog is that of camouflage. The aim of doing so isn’t to hide the advertisement but to make it look like a part of the website itself. Although doing so entirely isn’t possible, your effort is bound to cause a positive change and make the advertisement more in sync with the rest of the website.

GoogleAds come in three different sizes:
i. Large rectangle –336×280
ii. Medium rectangle – 300×250
iii. Wide skyscraper – 160×600

Choose the size that suits your blog/website best. One good way of figuring out the right size is to consider the dimensions of other graphics/tables that are present on your site. Also keep in mind the website’s template. The greater number of columns a website has, the lesser flexibility it will have for larger advertising boxes.

b. Color
Another factor that must be used to taken into consideration when placing ads on a site is its background color. You may employ one of the three techniques mentioned below to maximize the number of clicks GoogleAds on your website generate.

i. Blend – Choosing the color of the advertisement to be exactly that of website’s background will give it a very subtle attraction. It is best for visitors who are averse to advertisements.

ii. Complement – You may also choose one of the two or more colors that your website contains. For example if your blog is primarily blue with green accents, you may choose green as the color of the advertisement. This too will make it look like a part of the website and will appeal to a wide range of audience.

iii. Contrast – A rather wild but at times effective idea is to choose a color for the advertisement which is nowhere in the website. Doing so will make it very prominent. And if the advertisement is alluring enough, even the greatest skeptics will click on it.

c. Position
Yet another important factor that affects the probability of an advertisement getting clicked on is its positive relative to other content present on the site. While many experts suggest placing advertisements right at the top of blogs/websites, the rule isn’t applicable in very case. One relatively safe option is to place advertisements on the right hand side. Other than that, it is best that the psyche of the website’s visitors be kept in mind when position ads.

If the website talks about something serious such as health, it is preferable that the advertisement be placed at the bottom or the side of the website (these are just my recommendations because I also blog on health care office management). This way the website will get a chance to first build credibility with the visitors. On the other hand, if the website is relatively frivolous in nature, it is okay to position ads even right at the top.

5. Things to Avoid when Using AdSense

AdSense comes with a set of dos and don’ts. While religiously following the dos don’t forget the don’ts are almost equally important. One wrong move and your AdSense account can be frozen. Following are some of the most basic don’ts Google does not tolerate.

a. Clicking on Your own Website’s Ads
If you have been trying to act smart by clicking on your own website’s Google Ads, you are not only wasting your time but even jeopardizing your Google Ads account. Yes, Google clearly states in the guidelines it provides to those using AdSense that clicks ‘originating from your IP addresses or computers under your control’ on the ads is a violation of the terms and agreements you consented to. Hence, the violation of the agreement may lead to the termination of your AdSense account.

b. Asking Others to Click on GoogleAds
Yet another action that is prohibited by Google is to ‘request … end users to click on Ad’. Often bloggers request their fans to click on ads on their blog by clearly explaining their motive. Even if readers do fulfill such a request, their clicks will be considered invalid.

c. Placing Ads on Restricted Sites
Google forbids users from placing GoogleAds on restricted website such as those which contain adult content. Even if the clicks on such ads are valid, they are not going to earn you any revenue.

d. Publishing Competitors’ Advertisements
GoogleAds is not the only network of advertisements. Alternatives do exist such as Yahoo Publisher Network, Bidvertiser, Clicksor, InfoLinks and Project Wonder. It may occur to you that using more than one publishing networks may result in greater total revenue given the variety of ads the two or more than two networks will display on your website. However, such an arrangement does not. Even if smaller publishing networks may be okay with being on the same page with others, GoogleAds is not.

Google AdSense - 1

Adsense is definitely one of the hottest ways to earn passive income of the century. All a person needs to do is to create an AdSense account. Build a website with unique and original contents. It is so effective that not only individuals but businesses have started using GoogleAds for passive income as well. Before we discuss tips and tricks on how you can make the most of AdSense, let’s read the answer to a very important question.

What do the terms residual income and passive income imply?

The use of the word, passive does not mean that you will have to do entirely nothing to earn regular income. Rather it means that the amount of resources you spend on an activity is very little in comparison to the revenue it generates. For example, after posting an interesting/controversial/informative article, you might continue to receive visitors on your blog for more than a year. Remember, some topics provide more passive incomes than others. For example a fashion blog will be able to generate less passive income because of the rapid changes in styles. A fashion blogger will have to continuously have to update his/her blog to keep readers abreast with the latest developments in the world of style. On the other hand, blogs and websites on relatively stable subjects such as education, health and relationships are more likely to generate more passive income because of their evergreen nature. There are many issues that people discuss again and again and information related to which remains the same. Hence, readers may continue to come on a certain blogpost related to for years.

On the other hand, the term residual income refers to the fact that AdSense is not your primary source of income. In fact, it is a fraction of the income you derive from your online activities. For example, a blog that discusses nail art and simultaneously sells nail art supplies to its readers is likely to make AdSense display advertisements related to the subject. Hence, the blogger will have to streams of income – one from the income of the nail art supplies and the other from AdSense. Since, revenue generated from AdSense will only be a fraction of the revenue from the sale of the nail art it has been termed residual income.

How to Use AdSense in an Effective Way. Let’s look at the Holistic Approach

If you are planning to use AdSense as one of the sources of income, there are a few tips you could use to make your endeavors more effective.

1. Number of Websites/Blogs and their Genres
There are two extreme ways of earning with GoogleAds. Earn $100 with 1 blog or earn $20 from 5 blogs each. When it comes to choosing between the two, we recall the old adage; don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Yes, diversification is the key to success when it comes to earning residual income through AdSense.


Following are some of the benefits of diversification.

a. Having more than one blog/website will allow you to cover a wider range of topics. If you decide to run three blogs at a time, you may cover very distant genres of entrees such as health, fashion and travel. This will help you cover three unique sets of consumer markets, news items and products.

b. Some genres are better more effective at generating passive income than others. As discussed above, it is a great idea to invest resources in at least one website/blog that is sure to generate a small but steady stream of visitors and thus passive revenue. The other blogs/websites may be on topics that require regular updates.

2. Attraction Marketing to Increase your Website Traffic and build your list!

Attactraction marketing is a technique that’s used not only by those who sell products but also who help those who sell products. This is true for blogs/websites that provide visitors with information or free online services. A few examples of such websites that cater free email services, provide news updates and make downloadable content available for free.

Regardless of the revenue from GoogleAds being residual or not, it is imperative that you increase the traffic to your websites and blogs. The more people will visit your blog/website, the higher the number of clicks will be on GoogleAds (even if the percentage remains the same).

Blackbeard’s Treasure
Not to be confused with the Blackbeard known as Edward Teach, Captain Blackbeard’s treasure of pure Spanish Silver Bars was worth 1.5 million dollars back in 1811. Now that may not seem like a lot, but with the price of silver these days, Blackbeard’s treasure could be one of the biggest bootys still waiting to be found.

Back in 1811 Captain Blackbeard was commissioned from the British Admiralty to raise the wreckage of a Spanish galleon that had gone down off the Bahamas during a Hurricane in 1680. He was successful by towing the ship into Baltimore with all the loot intact.

Of Course this called for a Celebration, the likes of which brought justice to the song “Drunken Sailor.” During his drunken rant he was approached by a profiteer at the tavern who told him that he knew all about his precious silver, and had the means to alleviate Blackbeard’s burden of sending it back to England.  Between this and the upcoming war between Britain and the U.S. Captain Blackbeard decided to stash the silver.

Sometime near the end of the summer of 1812, Blackbeard made a trip to the village of Keating Summit, McKean County Pennsylvania. It would be here that he would bury some or perhaps all of the Silver, with the idea of digging it up later.

Unfortunately, he sent someone else to retrieve it, and they were never able to locate it….At least so they claim.

King John’s Crown Jewels

In the year 1215 a caravan of King John of England made an unsuccessful attempt to cross the sands of The Wash, while on its journey between Kings Lynn and Long Sutton. During the escapade, the treasure loaded caravan was trapped by an incoming tide and descending current from the Nene River.

King John had taken a different path due to his illness, and was able to witness the loss of the treasure first hand. The treasure was said to contain his most prized possession, the Crown Jewels. Luckily however, he died a few days later, so the loss of his crown Jewels probably didn’t burden him very much.

The Present Day location of the treasure (or rather the loss of) is considered to be somewhere near Sutton Bridge, on the River Nene, if you want to go looking.

The Treasure of Moctezuma
For those of you who have heard of Motezumas revenge, you may also have heard the story behind why someone might be seeking revenge from beyond the grave.

In 1519 an armada of Spanish troops set sights on Mexico after hearing the legendary stories of “El Dorado” the City of Gold. Now, semi ironically, they did find a mountain of silver when they landed (yes a real mountain), however, as interesting as finding a mountain made of silver may be, this story is about treasure that “Hasn’t” been found yet.

Now for those of you who have read our article about prophecy, you may be familiar with what happened when Cortes arrived. As luck would have it, his arrival fulfilled the Aztec prophecy that the wind god Quetzalcoatl would return to reclaim Mexico. Since their wasn’t anyone else around to challenge his identity of being the wind god, Cortes assumed the role and essentially took everything they had, raping and pillaging and on his way out he left the Aztec people with a few new diseases to try out and experience.

So as you can see, this might make a soul a little restless.

Okay, so there was a bunch of gold and a mountain of silver. Where can I find it.

According to some, in 1920 Freddy Crystal found a treasure map inside a long forgotten manuscript that was stored away in an old church. The manuscript was written by a Spanish Friar who stated that the Spanish had tried to follow the map, but were unfamiliar with the territories to the north and eventually gave up in frustration.

Crystal had learned how to decipher Aztec petroglyphs from canyon walls, and realized that some of the landmarks were similar to those found in Southern Utah, particularly one place near the town of Kanab.

Crystal showed his map to a wealthy rancher named Oscar Robinson and convinced him to invest in his treasure hunt. After 2 years of searching, he actually found a location that fit the map. A large main canyon with side draws, seven mountains, each in it’s proper order!

Excited, he ran down the mountain side to the site where he found steps that were carved directly into the mountain. After climbing the steps he came to a “False Wall” in the cliff face, that led to a long dark corridor. On both sides of the corridor were statues that appeared to be ancient in their origin.

At this point he told everyone in the town and got hundreds of them all excited and volunteering to help out with the excavation of the long lost treasure of Moctezuma. After three years, the residents found lots of false walls and exposed an entire cave system, some of which can still be explored today. Which means you may still have a chance to find the treasure, assuming of course your with someone who knows how to find the hidden entrance.

White City, La Ciudad Blanca

A rumored city of gold has been the fascination of many for some time. Herman Cortes stumbled upon it in 1526, then Cristobol de Pedraza in 1544. Archeologist William Strong noted ‘archeological mounds’ near Rio Patuca and Rio Conquirre in 1933, providing more fuel for a growing legend where “nobles there ate from plates of gold.” As recently as February this year, archeologists and other researchers from the National Science Foundation and the University of Houston have used advanced technology such as mapping light detection and Light detection and Ranging (LIDaR) to map the ancient ruins. The verdict is still out if this area holds treasures of gold.

Lue Treasure Map

The only legendary treasure to have a map that directs you to 14 tons of gold is the Lue. As mystifying as the code is, it has long been assumed the only tools needed to decode the Lue is a one dollar bill, a key and a sound understanding of Masonic symbolism. Published by Karl Von Mueller, some speculate the “map” consists of various mathematical formulas.Believed to be in the United States, the legend of the Lue claims the treasure is 14 tons of gold. The gold was brought to the US by the Nazis in a plan to sabotage the US economy and prevent Americans from entering World War II. After hearing the plan, the Gold Act was instituted to circumvent the Nazis’ plan. Failing to prevent the US from entering the war wasn’t the only failure in Nazis’ grand scheme. They also failed to decipher the Lue and the Nazi loyalist that created had died. Ultimately they were unable to retrieve the treasure and returned to Germany.

Treasure Chest of the Church of Pisco

Four soldiers of the Peruvian Army in the mid-1800s devised a plan to outwit priests after learning about their treasures. Luke Barrett, Arthur Brown, Jack Killorain and Diego Alvarez, gained the confidence of the Pisco Church in Peru and managed to sail away with over 14 tons of gold and other treasures after killing the priests. Unfamiliar with the area, the four drew a map, ditched the loot and headed to Australia; with the hope of eventually returning and recovering their booty. Unfortunately, prior to returning for their treasure, two were killed and the other two were arrested. Only Killorain survived the jail stint. Before he died he told Charles Howe about the Pisco Church heist and where the treasure was stashed. When Howe found the treasure, he was not equipped to move the treasure. He left the treasure hoping to return and collect. Out of money, Howe failed to return to collect the treasure but he had disclosed the location to George Hamilton who eventually went looking for the treasure but never found it because he couldn’t understand the map.

Yamashita’s Treasure at Bacuit Bay

In Palawan, Philippines, Bacuit Bay is an island that on its own should be considered a treasure. Bacuit Bay is small, yet boasts a legendary story about Tomoyuki Yamashita’s lost treasures. A decorated general for the Japanese Army, it is speculated that Yamashita hid treasure in the caves of Bacuit Bay in the 1940s. Yamashita obtained his treasures by looting many bordering countries during the 30s until World War II. Yamashita’s treasures includes loot from Malaysia, India, Thailand and Burma, which were all shipped to the Philippines prior to their final destination—Japan. Unfortunately for Yamashita, Japan surrendered while he was still in the Philippines. Prior to being captured and hung, Yamashita hid his treasure in 172 different places on the island. He and his crew assumed they would eventually come back for the treasure. Some sources estimate that Yamashita’s treasures could be worth billions today. In the 70s, Rogelio Roxas found part of the treasure. Unfortunately President Ferdinand Marcos confiscated his findings and the remaining treasure located in that particular tunnel. Roxas sued and was awarded $22 billion dollars. Although the Marcos and Roxas family continue to battle in court, based on the story, there are more caves filled with Yamashita’s other treasures.

Lost Adams Diggings

To find a canyon wall that cries tears of gold you will need to map yourself a route to the Lost Adams Diggings in western New Mexico. It was in the early 1860s when Adams made his trek to the area. Guided along the White River and into the White Mountains, Adams and his crew of miners found gold nuggets that hidden “in a corn-grinding basin.” Although Adams left the mine on the second night, the miners stayed when they were brutally attacked and killed by Apache Indians. Tales say that Adams was never able to find his gold canyon again.

Apache Indian Treasures


There is an abundance of real lost treasures, some of which belonged to the Apache Indians. Rumor has it that after attacking a wagon train the Apache Indians hid their stolen fortune of silver coins and gold dust in a Dutch oven. This oven, which contains the lost treasure, is hidden behind rocks at a point on Winchester Mountain in Arizona. Those in search of the treasure claim the point is cursed but that has not stopped treasure hunters from trying their luck.

Lost treasures of Antilla

Those seeking the lost treasures of Antilla, the German fighter wreckage, will need to dive along the North Point of Aruba. There’s a tale that claims the Antilla was anchored along the North Shore when authorities rowed out to sea and asked for its surrender. While the skipper contemplated his options on shore, he left the ship’s seacock open, this sank the ship. Instead of surrendering and losing his treasure, the ship exploded and sank. This ghost ship, as the locals call it, remains a tribute to the German soldiers from WWII.

SS Islander’s Evasive Gold
In a bit of irony the SS Islander that sank in 1901 was recovered in 2012-without any gold. Why is it on the list? Well the Mars Company, the expedition, crew thinks the gold may be on the sea bed as a result of moving the ship. They did find gold dust and pieces of gold on the recovered ship but that’s about it. Mars Company estimates the treasure will be valued at over $250 million therefore they are planning another expedition. You can see part of the ship on the banks of Admiral Island while the rest is in Seattle.

The Sixth Sense

We are equipped with five senses, which acquire the knowledge of the “material” world for us and make us aware of the physical aspects of the world. The arguments between matter and spirit is known as spiritual war which we know as battle of Mahabharata.

The reason is, we are not only unaware of the sixth sense but also humiliate it now and then. Say, we are deprived of all five senses right from our birth, we are still aware of our self. The sense which makes us aware of our SELF is known as common sense or sixth sense, or KARNA in Mahabharata, who is humiliated by the 5 senses the Pandavas.

Therefore, a Spiritual war(of arguments) has to be arranged on the battlefield of KURU-KSHETRA(karmabhoomi/Body) to win the royal Kingdom of GOD, Indraprastha. The weapon to be used is LOGIC, which is as sharp as an arrow.

The situation in this war is more complex as the sixth sense the KARNA(which is capable of listening to inner voiceantahkarna favours KAURAVAS(material aspect of the universe), so the PAARTH(Learner) has to lift his bow, the gandeev (secven chakras) and should listen to his inner voice of the SELF (KRISHNA) to win the battle !

Hence , PAARTH is the first SIKH(shishya/disciple) of the Hindu philosphy as he is the one who is going to learn. Modern Sikhs Gurus live in Birmingham and Toronto, I reckon !

Similarly, SACH and SATT are two entirely different entities, which compliment each other in that SACH is the key to SATT. SACH is what one's five sensory organs detect and SATT is known through the Third eye of logical reasoning. In other words what you see with the two naked eyes, TANN DIAN DO AKHANH, is true, SACH and what you seek through reasoning, VICHAAR, with the help of the third eye of awakened mind, MUNN DI TEEJI AKH called SURTTI, or COMMON SENSE or Sixth Sense is SATT. SACH is DHAEKHNAA(seen) and SATT is PAEKHNAA(perceived)

Secular India

In 15th august 1947, we became independent after the long freedom struggle with the british, then Hindustan was divided into two parts Muslim Pakistan, and Secular India……

In last 500 years Hindustan was divided many times,,each time it was divided, the new country was not a Hindu country, "बट्टा भारत , मिटता हिन्दू "

We can see in the past long back about 1000 years, there was no Muslim, no Christian in Hindustan. With the arrival of Mohd Gazni as a Lootera 1000 years ago, muslim invasion was there
Our many Brave Rajputs fought against them till their last breadth, Prithviraj Chauhan, Rana Kumbha, Rana Sanga, Rana Udaysinh, Rana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji, Guru Teg Bahadur and many more. But they could not defeat them because we lacked unity in Hindus.
So we were under the control Of Afghans and Mughals For about 600 years
Just when Mughals and Afghans left India , British , Portugal, France, Dutch Invaded India On the Name oF East India Company, AND Again due to lack of unity ,they started takin each and every territory of India, and Finally we were Again slaves of foreign rulers
Many Martyrs Starting From Mangal Pandey, Ramprasad Bismil, Lala Lajpat Rai, Lokmanya tilak, RAni laxmi bai, Chandra shekhar Azad, bhagat Singh and may more.
At present after 67 years of Iindependence we are a slave of secularism, As Hindus we hav to pay Tax for Goin to Amarnath And other Pilgrimages. Whereas muslims are given subsidy for going to haj,,,
Recently Govt Of India gave the Arakshan to Converted Christians( those who were hindu and now converted to cristians) is this the secularism?
Nowadays you cannot get a job even if u have a qualification because you are a hindu( because you don’t come in backward categories)
Recently we saw that on giving death to Afzal Guru , the Pride of India : The National Flag was Burnt In Kashmir and Hyderabad and this Govt Did nothing
An Mla went out from parliament when national song Vande Mataram Was played, he said it was against his religion ,,and we did nothing.
Hindus from Kashmir are tortured everyday, we get news but still do nothing..
If we unite Our own hindus say that its Bhagwa Atankwad,just to get the vote of other religion.Make this dogs realize that "BHAGWA IS NOT ATANKVAD ITS BHAGWA RASHTRAWAD"
IF some leader supports Hinduism then he is considered to be a communist, just for other vote bank

I say can u find any other Muslim country that Gives Subsidy to non muslim for their pilgrimages?,,they even don’t give subsidy to muslims
Can you find any Christian country tolerating their mla to get out of assembly by violating the pride of nation, will they be quite??
Can you find any other religion human saying that hes a secular?? No my friends they are not and they are proud of their religion

We have the best and oldest history in the entire mankind records, Hinduism is a scientifically proven religion ..
Nasa Has accepted the importance of Sanskrit , started R&D dept for the Sanskrit language,Germany Has Sanskrit University..Sanskrit which is mother of all languages, is our and still we don’t know bout it
Have u ever seen China not writing Chinese on The products manufactured by them? No,, but have u seen anything written in Hindi on World Class Indian products?????
Why the hell are we behind the pseudo secularism?? It is the only cause in present scenario , which leads to degradation of Hinduism.
Once hindus were spread till iran.
In 7th centuray Rana Kumbha not only defeated arabs but expanded his kingdom till Iran,,where is this valour of hindus?
Are we handicapped by the virus of secularism?
Throw out this virus or else you will see your upcoming generations will not be a hindu. Tell them that we have the best culture ever and make them feel proud about it. On the contarary the West is adopting Hinduism the why are we running away from our devine relgion and culture.
Feel proud about your language,religion,country and always strive to save it till the last breadth of your life..
Its time to ARISE AWAKE, AND SAVE YOUR RELIGION HINDUS……..

My Mom....

After 21 years of Marriage, my Wife wanted me to take another Woman out to Dinner and a Movie. She said I Love You but I know this other Woman loves you and would Love to spend some Time with You.

The other Woman that my Wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a Widow for 19 years, but the demands of my Work and my three Children had made it possible
to visit her only occasionally.

That night I called to Invite her to go out for Dinner and a Movie.
'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My Mother is the type of Woman who suspects that a Late Night Call or a Surprise Invitation is a sign of Bad News. 'I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you,' I responded. 'Just the two of us.'

She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much.'

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit Nervous. When I arrived at her House, I noticed that she too seemed to be Nervous about our Date.

She waited in the Door with her Coat on. She had Curled her Hair and was wearing the Dress that she had worn to Celebrate her last Wedding Anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as Radiant as an Angel's.
'I told my Friends that I was going to go out with My Son, and they were impressed, '

She said, as she got into the Car. 'They can't wait to hear about our meeting'. We went to a Restaurant that, although not Elegant, was very Nice and Cozy. My Mother took my Arm as if She were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the Menu. Large Print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.

A Nostalgic Smile was on her Lips. 'It was I who used to have to Read the Menu when you were young,' She said.
'Then it's Time that you Relax and let me Return the Favor,' I responded.

During the Dinner, we had an Agreeable Conversation, nothing
Extra-ordinary, but catching up on recent Events of each others Life.
We talked so much that we missed the Movie. As we arrived at her House later, She said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I agreed.

'How was your Dinner Date?' asked My Wife when I got Home. 'Very Nice. Much more so than I could have Imagined,' I answered.
A few days later, my Mother died of a Massive Heart Attack.
It happened so suddenly that I didn't have Time to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an Envelope with a Copy of a Restaurant Receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined.

An Attached Note Said: 'I paid this Bill in Advance.

I wasn't sure that I could be there; But nevertheless, I paid for Two Plates One for You and the Other for Your Wife.
You will never know what that Night meant for Me. I Love You, My Son.'
At that moment, I understood the Importance of saying in Time:
'I LOVE YOU!' and to give our Loved Ones the Time that they Deserve.
Nothing in Life is more important than God and your Family. Give them the Time they Deserve, because these Things cannot be
Put Off till 'Some Other Time.'

Ear Piercing

Ear Piercing has been there in almost each civilization.Now a days i see many boys specially wearing a ear ring on one ea,.but there is reason behind it...After a baby is born, it is a general practice by the Ancient Indians to pierce the baby( both boys or girls) ears.

Actually, it is a part of acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture and Acupressure is not new to Indians. These techniques originated in India and later they were conserved and modified by Chinese.

Outer part of ears carry a lot of important acupuncture and acupressure points. The point where the ears of a baby are pierced is known for curing asthma. That is why even ancient indians both men and women used to wear ear-rings.

Almost Everything in the indian culture and traditions are purely based on science..For some things we know the reasons... For some we don't know...People are there who says simply these traditions are some stupid beliefs...But for the fact those people don't know the real reason and science behind those...

Behind the ear lobe there is a natural, small microscopic depression which contains nerve endings linked with diseases like bronchial asthma, cough and tuberculosis. The Chinese science of acupuncture states that the root cause of some diseases lies in the subtle regions of every organ in the body. When that area is punctured, the disease is eliminated. The study of this science was done and recorded in the Hindu scriptures much earlier and the sanskar of piercing the ear lobes was already prescribed.

Santissima Concepcion

Hurricane season in Florida has led to many shipwrecks throughout history. One notable shipwreck that fell prey to the tumultuous southern hurricane season was the shipwreck of Santissima Concepcion or “El Grande.” The record listed 500 people on board, but various reports have identified anywhere between 4 to 190 people who survived to describe their ordeal. Beyond the crew the record also lists 1,800,000 pesos in treasures, “77 chests of pearls and 49 chests of emeralds.” There have been numerous attempts to locate the treasure yet most have proved fruitless. It is believed the Sir William Phipp found about 25% of the treasure during his 1687 expedition.

Genghis Khan Issyk-Kul’s Treasure

There are a variety of legends surrounding Lake Issyk-Kul. From the idea that Templar Knights and Christians buried treasures of the Templar there to lost jewels forming a golden path, many legends persist about the area. One of the most notable legends is of Commander Genghis who is supposedly buried with his treasures. Some legends have his treasure in the lake and others admit the location is unknown. Reports indicate that his soldiers killed everyone that knew the tomb’s location and when they returned from the burial site, they were killed as well.Commander Genghis amassed his fortune by “capturing most of central Asia and China,” in the 13-century, of which “the booty yielded by his conquests was incalculable.” Digs in the ’20s failed due to the instability of the political environment. Since then there have been more attempts including expeditions by the Japanese and a recent attempt by American researchers who believe they have located Genghis Khan’s tomb, but there is no treasure to date.

Bermuda Triangle

Long before the legend of the Bermuda Triangle became popular, Bermuda had already earned a reputation as an enchanted island. It was nicknamed “The Devil's Islands” by early sea travelers, frightened by the calls of cahow birds and the squeals of wild pigs that could be heard on shore. But perhaps the most damning tales were told by sailors terrified of shipwreck on Bermuda's treacherous stretch of reefs.

The legend of the Bermuda Triangle is said to have begun when five Navy planes took off from their base in Florida December 5, 1945 on a routine training mission known as Flight 19 – neither the planes nor the crew were ever seen again.

The imaginary area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean off the southeastern tip of Florida; an area roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. This region didn't get its name until August 1964 when Vincent Gaddis coined the term Bermuda Triangle in a cover story for Argosy magazine about the disappearance of Flight 19.

Unusual features of the area had been noted since Christopher Columbus sailed through the area on his first voyage to the New World, in which he reported a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about inconsistent compass readings, which later believed as natural phenomena happens in places where True North (geodetics’ north pointing to the North Pole’s geographic location) and Magnetic North (well-known as Compass North) lined up – the two north are in fact have different scientific implications.
In the past 500 years at least 50 ships and 20 aircraft have reportedly vanished in the Triangle, most without a trace – no wreckage, no bodies, nothing. There have also been so many theories trying to explain the legend, including one suggesting that the lost city of Atlantis may lie at the bottom of the sea and be using its reputed crystal energies to sink ships and planes.

But, despite all the reports by authors around the globe regarding the untraceable missing planes and ships, is there really any mystery to explain?

Not all apparently believe there are mysteries to explain. Lieutenant A. L. Russell, in the U.S. Coast Guard's official response to Bermuda Triangle inquiries, writes “It has been our experience that the combined forces of nature and the unpredictability of mankind outdo science-fiction stories many times each year.” In the Navy's final report, the disappearance of Flight 19 was blamed on pilot error, but after several reviews the verdict was changed to causes or reasons unknown.

“The region is highly traveled and has been a busy crossroads since the early days of European exploration,” said John Reilly, a historian with the U.S. Naval Historical Foundation. “To say quite a few ships and airplanes have gone down there is like saying there are an awful lot of car accidents on the New Jersey Turnpike—surprise, surprise.”

Maritime insurance leader Lloyd’s of London does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an especially hazardous place and neither does the U.S. Coast Guard who says “In a review of many aircraft and vessel losses in the area over the years, there has been nothing discovered that would indicate that casualties were the result of anything other than physical causes. No extraordinary factors have ever been identified.”
In his book “The Bermuda Triangle Mystery — Solved”, American author and pilot Larry Kusche says few writers on the topic bothered to do any real investigation — they mostly collected and repeated other, earlier writers who did the same. Criticizing Charles Berlitz’s “Bermuda Triangle: The Bestselling Saga of Unexplained Mystery”, he says the book does not carry over into credible research or scholarship, and that Berlitz's research was so sloppy. “If Berlitz were to report that a boat were red, the chance of it being some other color is almost a certainty.”

Kusche claimed to have examined more than 400 pages of the Navy Board’s official investigation report regarding the disappearance of Navy planes in 1945, and found that the Board wasn't baffled at all by the incident and did not mention alleged radio transmissions cited by Berlitz in his book
About the lined up of True North and Compass North, the US Navy says that’s been an inaccurate claimed. According to him the Bermuda Triangle is not a place on earth at which a magnetic compass points towards true north. Normally a compass will point toward magnetic north. He explains the difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 60 degrees at various locations around the World. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, navigators can find themselves far off course and in deep trouble.

“Although in the past this compass variation did affect the Bermuda Triangle, due to fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field this has apparently not been the case since the nineteenth century,” he concludes.
Fact or fiction, the Bermuda Triangle has already been accepted as a part of widespread lore that won't disappear anytime soon. There are still many travelers saying the Triangle isn't the only thing that makes The Islands of Bermuda seem magical.

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY

The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder are closely linked.

Regimen:
1. For the first five days, take four glasses of apple juice every day. Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.

2. On the sixth day, take no dinner.

3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water.

4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.

5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage.

The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. "Usually they float," Chiu Nan notes. "You might want to count them. I have had people who passes 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Very many."

"Even if you don't have any symp tom s of gallstones, you still might have some. It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up now and then.

Now you know!

Cumbers could do ALL THIS.....

Spice up your 8 glasses per day of water with a slice or two of cucumber. It's wonderfully refreshing, but there are amazing benefits to cucumber as well. Cucumbers are cooler than you think ... SHARE THIS AWESOME INFORMATION

1. Fat busting: Do you ever wonder why women put cucumbers on their eyes to relieve puffiness? The photochemical in cucumbers makes the collagen in your skin tighten, thus the lack of puffiness. Did you know that you can rub a cucumber on a problematic spot of cellulite anywhere on your body to lessen the visibility of it? Did you also know that it has the same effect on wrinkles? Wow, it makes purchasing those fifty dollar creams seem a little silly, doesn’t it? You can also rub a little bit under your kiddo’s eyes after a long bout of crying to avoid that puffy ‘I cried for an hour straight’ look.

2. Defogger: Do you get annoyed when you get out of the shower and you have to fight the fog on the mirror? Who has time for that when the kids will be awake at any moment? Try rubbing a slice of cucumber on the mirror before you hop in and not only will you get a fog-free mirror, but you’ll have a nice smell that will boost your mood.

3. Headaches: If you suffer from headaches from chasing your babies all day (or pets or your husband), or had a little too much wine with dinner and want to avoid a hangover, eat half of a cucumber before bed. Cucumbers are high in B vitamins, sugar, and electrolytes, and they replenish the nutrients missing in your body to help you avoid a hang over or to beat that headache that’s been threatening to take over.

4. WD-40 replacement: Did you know you can get rid of a squeak by rubbing a cucumber on the hinge? Wow, now you don’t have to tear your garage apart looking for that little can with the red straw, and the baby won’t wake up when you slowly open the nursery door to check on him.

5. Crayon on the walls: Take an unpeeled cucumber and rub the crayon off of the walls in the event that your kiddo left you some art. You can also use this technique to erase a pen mistake.

6. Halitosis killer: Take a slice of cucumber and put it on the roof of your mouth. Hold it there with your tongue for 30 seconds. The photochemical that you love for cellulite and puff reduction will also kill the bacteria that is causing your bad breath.

7. Tarnish remover: If you’re finding tarnish on your stainless steel kitchen faucets and appliances? Rub it off with a cucumber slice. Not only will it remove years of tarnish, it will leave it streak free and your hands will thank you, and your kids won’t be put at risk from a dangerous chemical.

8. Energy booster: If you’re feeling tired in the afternoon, don’t give Starbucks your five bucks. Instead, grab a cucumber. There are just enough carbohydrates and B vitamins to give you a longer-lasting and healthier boost of energy than soda, coffee, or those health hazard energy drinks.

9. Munchy madness: Did you know that European trappers ate cucumbers for energy and to keep from starving to death? If those big burly manly men can eat a cucumber to keep from starving, you can eat one as a healthy choice when the munchies hit. Slice some up and take them in a small plastic container to the movies if your theater doesn’t offer healthy alternatives to munching on butter soaked popcorn.

10. Frugal facial: Slice up a cucumber and boil it in a pot of water. The chemicals inside of the cucumber will mix with the steam. Remove the pot from heat and lean over it, letting the steam hit you. Your skin will be more radiant and healthy, and you will feel relaxed and rejuvenated.

11. Shoe polish: Cut a slice off of your cucumber and rub it on your shoe. It will not only shine it up, but it will repel water.

12. Pest control: Put three or four slices of cucumber in a small pie tin and place them in your garden. The chemicals in the cucumber have a reaction that pests hate. You won’t smell it, but it will drive them from your garden all year long. Replace them periodically.

13. Sunburn: Sometimes sun block doesn’t always protect your little ones from sunburn. If you have burnt little kiddos you don’t have any aloe, rub some cucumber on them. Many doctors even use cucumber to treat patients with irritated skin and sunburns.

14. Blood pressure: Cucumber has been long used to treat high blood pressure. If you have it, add cucumbers to your daily diet. There is also ongoing research into the use of cucumbers for lowering cholesterol.

15. Constipation remedy: The seeds of a cucumber are a diuretic. If you’re constipated, try eating a cucumber. If you suffer from chronic constipation, add cucumber to your daily diet.
