What YOU eat can change the world!

Food and making food affects Earth and its heat. This means that there is bad news for some meat eaters out there so now is the time to eat more environmentally friendly! When global warming was a concern(not that it still isn't), would make animals die off and life could become very very different. Did you know that making meat makes a lot of carvon dioxide which is actually pretty bad for Earth's atmosphere? And making meat mostly comes from beef which releases more gases that make global warming worse. 'The process of making a hamburger, for example, requires a lot of energy. A cow has to be fed and raised on farmland, and cow manure is a major source of methane — an especially potent greenhouse gas. The cow has to be slaughtered. The meat has to be processed and shipped to a consumer, which takes fuel. Most of the cow won’t even be used for meat that people eat.' The way to go is to eat less cow meat, its better for the environment and for you health.

'Chess Princess' comes for challengers at NJIT

A champion chessman raised in India plays against many challengers at the NJIT. Chitra Sridhar's dad taught her how to play chess when she was only 6 years old. She ended up in the National Championships when she was just 7 years old. In the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Chitra begins playing against others for about 3 & 1/2 hours preparing to get back into the international competitive chess circuit. In the afternoon, she had 22 different (male) challengers. She only lost three times which didn't make her angry but say "Every game is a lesson learned".

Olive Extract!!!!

Did you know that Olive extract can lower high blood pressure and cholestrols? This can work by taking this type: 1000mg of a specific olive leaf extract (EFLA®943). Researchers came to this conclusion because two identical twins were given these tretments. Hypertension aka High Blood Pressure is most common and getting the disease is simply by living in a modern way of life. Rats have been experimented on and the reduced cholestrol and Blood Pressure was a success. Two elderly twins from Switzerland and Germany who had High Pressure took capsules of the olive leaf extract for eight weeks and their reports came out good. Now other people can take this capsule! Especially my mother, she always gets a Hypertension whenever she sees me.

Former President Bush's shoe incident....(not in the USA)

Remember the time when our former president Bush was almost hit in the head by an Iraqi journalist? Well, this story just happened about two months later,all over again, in the United Kingdom at Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao when he was making a speech at Cambridge University. Although the shoe didn't hit Wen Jiabao, it only had the almost the same results as former pres. Bush got. Being questioned and surrounded by guards. There were witnesses of about 500 and the cameras that were focused on Wen also caught the scene when Wen dodged the shoe that landed a couple of meters from him. Of course the student who threw the shoe was taken to the police station, he wouldn't tell his name due to 'university regulations'. Wen Jiabo was in UK to strengthen economic ties on his three day visit. "China has long been criticized by the international community for its human rights record in Tibet, where many Tibetans are pushing for greater autonomy and religious freedom."
