Drinking Cold Water After Meal- C@ncer! & A serious note about heart attacks Precautions is better then cure........ ....
Hi Friends,
Drinking Cold water after meal = C@ncer!
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this "sludge" reacted with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warmafter a meal. A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE": (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!)
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware.The more we know, the better chance we could survive... It could save your life!!

Know yourself from situations.

Look at the following scenarios:
A) Two people trapped in a lift.
B) Nobody in a deserted village except yourself.
C) Pollution of any kind (to the sea or land etc.)
D) Buildings - collapse / fire disasters / natural disasters.

Which one u felt is the most miserable?


Interpretations:

A) Two people trapped in a lift:
You feel a bit inferior about yourself. But you can actually differentiate between the "black" against the “white" very well. However when it involves personal feelings, you are in a total mess!!!!

Love life:
You can manage a one two one relationship but when too many competitors or targets appeared, you will tend to panic and ruin everything instead! Do not process the ability to flirt around. Try not to be a boring lover.







B) Nobody in a deserted village except yourself:
You are basically a person who enjoys looking back to the past. A very emotional person indeed. Easily influenced by the people or surroundings around you. Eg. if the society is sad about the death of Princess Diana, you will also share the same sentiments or when watching a sad movie.....like Titanic, you will be so engrossed in the movie
that you ended up being sadder than the main casts in the movie !!!!!

Lovelife:
Very Messy! Are you a very confused person? Sometimes you like to be left alone, Sometimes you want to be love,
Sometimes you need her/him, Sometimes you don't?? Does it sound familiar? You better sort out about yourself before you cause another party to be in pain for you.





C) Pollution of any kind (to the sea or land etc.) :
You are suitable to go into politics cos u are able to differentiate between wrong from right pretty well and plus........you are very decisive.

Lovelife:
However when it comes to love, you are very INDECISIVE......and so you are not suitable to fall in love. As in similar to You sometimes need him/her, sometimes you don't......same advise ! ! You go think it over and better not hurt another innocent party ! !





D) Buildings- collapse/fir disasters /natural disasters :
You are a person who is full of ambitions and creativity. You are very concerned about changes in the issues around you. You are also a very temperamental person. Mood swing tend to be your cup of tea.

Love life:
You are very easily attracted to the opposite sex ..........and the good thing is:
You are also a "hot target" among the opposite sex. You can easily attract the opposite sex... Basically a very "Popular" lover. Sometimes you'll just wonder why so many people like to chat with you. A very "PEOPLE" person!

Believe it or not...

Importance of Walking.
The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the organs are on right and left foot, the heart is on the left foot. This time, it put organs on the feet as they are. Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.
This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks. God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.

So, keep walking...

Classmates...

Lal Jose has shown his class again with his new Onam Release, Classmates starring Prithvi Raj, Indrajit (impressive performance), Kavya Madhavan.... Good movie to watch.

Murali (Naran aka Sunil) with his golden voice is the doyen of the college campus. P. Sukumaran (Prithviraj) is a firebrand student leader with leanings towards the left. Satheesan (Jayasurya) leads the opposite faction. Vasu (Vijeesh) is his trusted crony. Pius (Indrajith), a rich and spoiled brat and son of Gulf settled parents, is the campus Romeo. Thara Kurup (Kavya Madhavan) is the daughter of the local MLA and a danseuse who wins numerous awards for the college with her performance. Koshy (Jagathy Sreekumar) is the hostel warden.
It was Murali's dream that these classmates should have a reunion ten years from graduation. But Murali dies under mysterious circumstances. His parents Prof. Iyengar (Balachandra Menon) and Lakshmi Teacher (Shobha Mohan) who both teach at the college decide to fulfill their departed son's dream and bring his classmates together for a reunion. Sukumaran is now a diamond dealer in Mumbai. Satheesan is now an MLA. Vasu continues to be his sidekick. Pius is now settled in the Gulf. Thara, still unmarried, now runs a dancing school.
The coming together of these classmates is an occasion for the participants to regurgitate the past and go nostalgic. Though Classmates is a campus based movie, this is not going to be sugar candy romance. Lal Jose's intention is to throw in emotion and suspense as well as the colour and gaiety of campus life and to make a movie in the manner of Ulkkadal, Shalini Ente Koottukaari and Sarvakalaasaala. The campus scenes are shot at CMS College, Kottayam.

Generation of New Ocean in Africa..

A Continent Splits Aparts..
Normally new rivers, seas and mountains are born in slow motion. The Afar Triangle near the Horn of Africa is another story. A new ocean is forming there with staggering speed -- at least by geological standards. Africa will eventually lose its horn.

Geologist Dereje Ayalew and his colleagues from Addis Ababa University were amazed -- and frightened. They had only just stepped out of their helicopter onto the desert plains of central Ethiopia when the ground began to shake under their feet. The pilot shouted for the scientists to get back to the helicopter. And then it happened: the Earth split open. Crevices began racing toward the researchers like a zipper opening up. After a few seconds, the ground stopped moving, and after they had recovered from their shock, Ayalew and his colleagues realized they had just witnessed history. For the first time ever, human beings were able to witness the first stages in the birth of an ocean. According to the statistics it took at least 10 million years which is less compared to the life span of earth.

Normally changes to our geological environment take place almost imperceptibly. A life time is too short to see rivers changing course, mountains rising skywards or valleys opening up. In north-eastern Africa's Afar Triangle, though, recent months have seen hundreds of crevices splitting the desert floor and the ground has slumped by as much as 100 meters (328 feet). At the same time, scientists have observed magma rising from deep below as it begins to form what will eventually become a basalt ocean floor. Geologically speaking, it won't be long until the Red Sea floods the region. The ocean that will then be born will split Africa apart.
The Afar Triangle, which cuts across Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti, is the largest construction site on the planet. Three tectonic plates meet there with the African and Arabian plates drifting apart along two separate fault lines by one centimeter a year. A team of scientists working with Christophe Vigny of the Paris Laboratory of Geology reported on the phenomenon in a 2006 issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research. While the two plates move apart, the ground sinks to make room for the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Bubbling magma and the smell of sulphur
A third crevice cuts south, splitting not far from Lake Victoria. One branch of the rift runs to the east, the other to the west of the lake. The two branches of this third crevice are moving apart by about one millimeter a year.
SPIEGEL ONLINEKarte Afrika Afar-Senke english version
The dramatic event that Ayalew and his colleagues witnessed in the Afar Desert on Sept. 26, 2005 was the first visual proof of this process -- and it was followed by a week-long series of earthquakes. During the months that followed, hundreds of further crevices opened up in the ground, spreading across an area of 345 square miles. "The earth has not stopped moving since," geophysicist Tim Wright of the University of Oxford says. The ground is still splitting open and sinking, he says; small earthquakes are constantly shaking the region.
Scientists have made repeated trips to the area since the drama of last September. Locals have reported a number of new cracks opening in the ground, says geologist Cynthia Ebinger from the University of London, and during each visit, new crevices are discovered. Fumes as hot as 400 degrees Celsius (752 degrees Fahrenheit) shoot up from some of them; the sound of bubbling magma and the smell of sulphur rise from others. The larger crevices are dozens of meters deep and several hundred meters long. Traces of recent volcanic eruptions are also visible.
In a number of places, cracks have opened up beneath the thin layer of volcanic ash that covers the region. As there is no ash in the fissures, it's clear that they opened up after the volcanic eruptions, most of which took place at the end of September or in October, 2005. A number of locals who fled the eruptions have reported that a black cloud of ash -- spewed out of the Dabbahu volcano -- darkened the sky for three days.
A new ocean floor on the Earth's surface
Basalt magma has risen into some of the crevices. For the moment, Ayalew explains, the lava seems not to be rising further. A number of recent eruptions, though, have left layers of new basalt lava on the Earth's surface. And it's the exact same kind of lava that spews out of volcanic ridges deep under the ocean -- a process which slowly pushes older lava sediments away on either side. The process has only just begun in the Afar Triangle -- and scientists for the first time can witness the birth of a new ocean floor.

The source of the African magma looks to be a gigantic stream of molten rock rising from beneath the Earth's crust and slicing through the African continental plate like a blow torch. It's a process that began thirty million years ago when lava broke through the continent for the first time, separating the Arabian Peninsula from Africa and creating the Red Sea.
Now, it's the Afar Triangle's turn and it's sinking rapidly. Large areas are already more than 100 meters (328 feet) below sea level. For now, the highlands surrounding the Denakil Depression prevent the Red Sea from flooding these areas, but erosion and tectonic plate movement are continually reducing the height of this natural barrier. The Denakil Depression, which lies to the east of Afar, is already prey to regular floods -- each flood leaving behind a crust of salt.
Africa to lose its horn
The chain of volcanoes that runs along the roughly 6,000 kilometer (3,730 mile) long East African Rift System offers further testimony to the breaking apart of the continent. In some areas around the outer edges of the Rift System, the Earth's crust has already cracked open, making room for the magma below. From the Red Sea to Mozambique in the south, dozens of volcanoes have formed, the best known being Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Nyiragongo.
These fiery mountains too will one day sink into the sea. Geophysicists have calculated that in 10 million years the East African Rift System will be as large as the Red Sea. When that happens, Africa will lose its horn.
