Based on experiments and medical experiences for more than a half of century by various herbal experts form Japan, China and Korea, squalene has a lot of benefits that we can decribe them below:

1). Squalene as amplifier and adder of life spirit
Squalene is the main material to build cholesterol and steroid. CHolesterol has many function in the body such as for metabolism and for building vitamin D. However, cholesterol is also used to make hormone similar with steroid which also functions as hormone builder. Hormone is very important for human life. Without hormone, human beings are useless in their everyday life, physically and mentally. Old persons has decrease their sexual spirit because their hormone (estrogen and testoteron) decrease. So if they consume squalene, their sexual enthusiasm can increase to normal level, even more maximal.

2). Squalene as a healer of liver disorder.
It has been reported from some hospitals in Japan such as Hospital of Tokyo University, Fakuoka Hospital and National Hospital, that they have underwent some experiments to cure hepatitis. Finally, they concluded that squalene is benefits to heal many liver disorder.

3). benefit to cure diabetes
Diabetes is disease caused by shortage of insuline. Squalene is a main material to build hormone, in this case insuline hormone. By consuming squalene, pancreas is not only amplified and repaired, but it also helps increase insulin product needed by the body.

4). Increase immune system
Doctors in Japan believe that consuming squalene can make body immunity raise. It is because squalene's molecules consist of polymer isoprene called terpene and tripene. The substance proves to be able to become interferon inducer. Interferon can increase both amount and activities of cells of spinal cord, lymph gland, liver and thymus. The kind of cells increased their powerful and endurance are lymphosit T and B cells, and makrofaq sells.
So it is not wonder that before the invention of antibiotic, squalene were widely used to cure tuberculosis, hepatitis, diabetes, influenza, and etc.

5). As sterilizer and healer of wound
Squalene is effectively a source of oxigen supplier. It has the same function as Ozon where its on becomes microbe killer and O2 becomes metabolism activator of cells. Its positive effect is that the wound is not only easier to recover, but also it does not feel pain. It goes together with the theory developed by dr. Yoka that: Pain is caused by oxygen shortage.

6). Omitting weariness and shooting pain.
Weariness can happen because of precipation of lactate acid in skeletal muscles. The precipation is caused by uncomplete combustion. Because of rich of oxigen, squalene will supply oxygen to most part of the body. Lactate acid will be completely oxidated into CO2, H2O and energy. The muscle will become normal again and the body will feel fresh and health.

1). help strengthen body immune system naturally

Bee propolis is rich of polyphenol. It can increase the production and activities of immune cells.

2). As source of high antioxidant
Some researchs prove that bee propolis can help our body fight against free radicles. free radicles are active atom which have less or abundant electron and is unstable. The body can produced free radicles naturrally or it happens because of cigarette smoke or pollution. if free radicles contact with other important cell in our body, they can cause the cell damage or even ruin. The damage cell then can trigger the emerge of degenerative diseases such as heart, hypertention, diabetes and cancer.

3). As anti-Microba
propolis is very effective to fight against any bacteria and viruses and fungus.

4). Help Cope Inflammation
The content of CAPE (Caffeic Acid Phenetyl Ester) substance in be propolis functions as anti-inflammatiom.

5). protect our Heart
bee propolis can help lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides. Otherwise it also can increase DHL. That is why it can protect the heart.

6). help Cope with gastritis

Propolis, also well-known as Russian Penicillin, is strong antioxindant, anti-microbe, and natural antibiotic produced by body. Because it is natural, propolis does not make body's immune system weaken if it is unproperly used. Propolis even make our immune system increase naturally.

The main function of propolis is to neutralize poison, strengthen body immunity, antibiotic, annihilate bad bacteria and fungus, clean out viruses, repair damaged cells on tissue and body organ. It also strengthens cells, speeds up cell regeneration, etc.

Supporting Natural Body Immunity
Men have very complex of body immune system. It consists of many various cells, tissue and organ. All of them help the body protect itself in order to be healthy. This system works 24-hour every day to fight against dangerous microorganism which threathen human's healthy. Do you know that environment where we are living is surrounded by millions of dangerous bacteria, viruses and microorganism?

When we get wound, bacteria can easily penetrate into our body. When we eat and drink everything, there are so many germs and bacteria in it. Of course we do not see those bacteria with our bare eyes. So if our body immunity does not work well, we will easily get sick because of those bacteria and viruses. That is why it is very important for us to strenghten our body immunity. Consuming bee propolis is one of many ways to protect ourselves.

Propolis is derived from Greek. Pro means before, and polis means city. Bee propolis is often meant "before entering bee hive". It seem to mean that it protects bee hive against dangerous factors outside the hive.

Propolis is a mixture of resin substance, originated from bark and the toppings of tree, especially poplar (Populus spp.), birch (Betula spp.), or conifer (pinus species). Bees collect those substance, and then mix it with wax and their saliva. Propolis is used by bees to protect every door of the hive to sterilize every coming bee. Propolis is also used by bees to repair their hive whenever it cracks or wears.

Bees are susceptible to infection because they do not have immune system. Bees greatly rely on propolis to protect themselves, their hive, their eggs and young bees against diseases.

Subtances that contain in propolis are very complex. There are more than 200 components that have been identified. But generally propolis consists of balsam (polyphenol) 50%, resin 30%, essential oil 10%, pollen 5%, organic and anorganic substances 5%. High Polyphenol content in propolis functions as anti-bacteria, anti-viruses, anti-fungus, antioxidant, anti-inflammation and immune system.

What happens if we consume bee propolis? Do we become healthier because this substance?

Actually there are several kinds of fish oils which are believed useful and have benefit to human health, but according to the research, there are 3 kinds of fish oil which are proven bringing benefits to human health.

1). Cod liver oil / halibut oil
It is fish oil that is extracted from liver and or fat of cod and halibut fishes. The oil contains vitamin A, D, and triglyceride. Both vitamins are known as a drug to repair and to perfect bones and skin development. They are also used as a drug to prevent and cure xerophthalmia and blindness.

2. Omega 3
It is a popular name of fish oil contains a mixture of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) dan Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It is extracted from fat tissue of Mackerel fish, as well as Herring, Sardine, Salem, Lemuru, etc. All of those fishes live in water surface. Omega 3 is claimed having benefit to decrease cholesterol, lessen high blood pressure, and prevent against coronary thrombosis and arteriosclerosis. Omega 3 is widely known in USA and Britain. However, in 1989, a team led by Dr. G.J. Reis and a team with Dr. R.A. Riemersma in charge reported that omega 3 has lower benefits compare with olive oil. It is because olive oil contains active substance of squalene.

3. Squalene
It is fish oil extracted from dogfish (aizame, spiny dogfish) with the so many benefits as explained before in previous articles on this blog.

Today dogfishes, as the main source of squalene, are only be found in some certain places, i.e. at the sea of Indonesia, Philipina, Spain, Portugal, Norway and some of African countries. However, the best squalene come from dogfishes live in Indonesian waters.

The first discoverer of squalene is Japanese chemical expert, DR. Mitsumaru Tsujimoto. He was a famaous chemical expert in Japan dan had discovered a lot of chemical compounds, derived from sardine acid and buthyalcohol. In 1906, DR. Tsujimoto discovered an oil extracted from aizame dogfish and he named it squalene. In 1931, another expert DR, Kora at Zurich University, Swiss, discovered cmecial structure of squalene. Because of his discovery, he was awarded The Nobel Price.

In 1932, DR. Mashina and his friends carried out research about squalene benefit and they found that squalene had medical potential. The research result was then continued by a team of experts led by DR. Kejiro Kogami. Because of their hard work, the team found that squalene really had medical benefit and could ease and cure some diseases such as, tuberculose, skin disease, burn-wound, gastritis and intestine diseases. Whereas DR. Ryosuke Yokota found that squalene could prevent the development of cancer tissue.

In 1970, Dr. H. Hella and Dr. V.Z. Pasteleraque could prove that squalene could increase human body immunity against many diseases. It could be happened because squalene enhanced the activity and endurance of immune cells in bone marrow, spleen gland, adrenal gland, T and B limfosit cells and macrofag.

Below is the amount comparation of squalene in human body and in plants or other food.

Sharks which live at the depth of 300 - 1000 meter below the sea level are supposed to be exist since 400 million years ago, far before human created. Categorized as rare vertebrate, shark has black-gray color and has not more than 1,5 meter at length, with weight of 50 kg. It is supposed there are 15 kinds of sharks living in the depth as written on the table below:

Tabel: Kinds of Sharks and their Squalene level

Quoted from Cosmetic Products Raw Materials Standard, ED II , Annotated , Yakuji Nipposha.

The peculiarity of dogfish is that it lives at hard environment. The fish is stay at the depth of 300 - 1000 below the sea level, untouchable by sunlight, rare of oxygen, and live under high water pressure. However, it can survive there and never come up to the higher depth.

How can this kind of shark survive at that difficult environment?
 According to fishermen and traditional medicine experts from China, Japan and Korea, the key to the shark survival is in its liver. Since the ancient time, the shark's liver especially dogfish, has been in one of medicine list in Ancient China. Dogfish liver is different with any other sharks' liver from its size and weight. The weight of dogfish liver is approximately 40% of its body weight, and 90% of its liver content is squalene.

Japanese fishermen at Suruga gulf are the most experienced and talented fishermen in catching dogfish. They extract the dogfish oil and drink it as a medicine to evade weariness and other threatening illness. They also spread the oil on their skin as their sunscreen. They also use the oil to layer their boat so that the boat wood is not easily rotten, and snails and sea shells do not adhere at boat wall.

Have you ever read the novel of Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and The Sea? At the novel, Ernest wrote that all of the fishermen in Santiago drank a cup of fish oil that kept in the drum before they went to the sea to prevent them from illness.

So it is undeniable that old fishermen from year to year have known and used the shark oil as their traditional medicine.

According to Dr. Iwan T. Budiarso, an expert from Indonesia, before world war II, there were still many dogfishes in Japanese waters such as in Kochioki, Sagamida, Okinawa and other places. But today, the dogfish is very rare and it is possibly extinct in Japanese sea. The fishermen there now are looking for the fishes for their squalene outside their country's waters.

Comments from Some Institutions About Coconut Water

FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization )
At September 14, 2000, FAO recommended coconut water as an natural energy drink.

Journal of Medicinal Food, J Med Food. 2006 Fall;9(3):400-7
Coconut water has cardioprotective effect because it can decrease the level of bad cholesterol in a research. (V.G. Sandhya, Dr., Professor T. Rajamohan. Department of Biochemistry, University of Kerala, India)

Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY and Applied Human Science Vol. 21 (2002)
Drinking coconut water after physical exercise is the best way to rehydration. It can make body feel saturated, and it can be consumed much, comparing with any other drinks like fresh water and drinks contain KH and electrolite.

Squalene is a natural health food extracted from the liver of dogfish (aizame spiny dog fish or Centrophorus atromarginatus garman) which lived in the deep of the sea, in the range of 300 - 1000 below the sea level. Dogfish is one of the smallest shark species, which has a measurement of less than 1,5 metre long and weight of more or less 50 kilogram. However, the dogfish liver is the biggest than any other kind of sharks.

What is the Peculiar Features of Dogfish?
The dogfish lives far below the sea level, beyond the reach of sunray. The oxygen at the level is very few, but the water pressure is very high. Comparing with its weight, the pressure endured by the shark is around 31 - 101 kilograms. The foods at the depth are predominantly marine plants and minerals.

According to the research, the endurance of dogfish living in the shortage environment is caused by the power of its liver. Who knows that the weight of its liver is 40% of its body weight, or approximately 20 kilogram. And in its liver, there is a high content of squalene, at about 90% of its liver weight.

What is Squalene?
Squalene is an oily organic substance, but can not be categorized as oil because it does not have fat acid or COOH cluster. It has colour of yellowish or clear white and has specific odor. Until today, experts have not yet be able to create the syntheses of squalene.

In human body, squalene spreads at all of human organs and tissue, and has multirole functions. For example, at the skin, squalene is used as a main component to produce slippery and delicate substances consist in sebum produced by talk gland (sebasius).

In the liver, squalene is used as raw material to produce cholesterol and steroid. Cholesterol is important for metabolism, and if it is activated, it can produce vitamin D. Both of choleterol and steroid can be made as hormon. Hormons are very important for human life. There is no life without hormon.

Consuming squalene everyday can recover human power and health. Squalene is also believed be able to ease and heal many kind of diseases.

The cholesterol in fact is the result of fat solution in the body. Cholesterol is also needed by the body, although just in a few. Such as for the material to form cell membrane, or as the framer material to form bile salt. When being abundant but still can be tolerated by the body, cholesterol is proccessed the heart into the energy source subtituting sugar. However, when the amount of it is totally over supply, cholesterol will be kept on the muscle and on the light network under the skin (for example in the thigh, upper arm, stomach and bottom).

Cholesterol also can be obtained by eating fatty food. To reduce it of course by reducing fatty food. But some people has gene deviation that can cause him have very little amount of enzyme to break cholesterol. Whereas the gene has genetic feature and can not be changed.

Therefore, for someone who has high level of cholesterol, he has also high risk to suffer cardiovaskuler illness like: stroke, heart or the disturbance of kidney and liver.

When the use of the lowered-cholesterol medicine is used, can be seen from the example below:
Patient 1:
Total cholesterol is 400, but his age is just 25 years. does not have hypertension, the level of blood sugar is normal, and his family does not have history of heart disease in the young age. His height is 180 cm and his weight is 100 cm.
Patient 2:
Total cholesterol is 200, but his age is 55 years, have hypertension and diabetes, the level of LDL (bad cholesterol) is 150, had been attacked by heart disease.

Fom the case above, cholesterol medicine is needed by patient 2. For the patient 1, it is recommended to do physical exercise and consume balanced food, also reducing the portion of fat until 10-15%.

Basically, there are many things to be considered if we want to take cholesterol medicine. It is because there are many kinds of cholesterol medicine, depending what kind of cholesterol that must be reduced. Besides, most cholesterol medicines are expensive and some of them have bad side-effect.

Earthworm has been used in the Far East traditional medical practice for conditions associated with some thrombolytic diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism. According to Chinese medical publication Ben Cao Gang Ma, earthworm (lumbricus rubellus) was said to unblock the body's meridians and channels, and was used to support blood circulation.

In 1883, in a book discussing the action of worms, Charles Darwin observed that earthworm digestive fluids can dissolve fibrin. In order to elucidate the power of earthworms, Japanese scholars Dr. Hisashi Mihara and others succeeded in extracting a fibrin-dissolving enzyme from Lumbricus rubellus in the 1980s. This enzyme was later found to consist of a few proteolytic sub-enzymes, which are collectively named lumbrokinase. Lumbrokinase is also referred to as earthworm fibrinolytic enzymes (EFE), earthworm powder enzymes (EPE), or e-PA.

Since 1992, lumbrokinase derived from earthworms has been extensively studied and used in China. Research has shown lumbrokinase to support healthy coagulation of blood within normal levels and enhance fibrinolytic activities, i.e. similar to natokinase. In Japan and Korea lumbrokinase has been the main ingredient in "Dragon Heart", a popular health supplement for supporting circulatory health.

Lumbrokinase consists of proteolytic enzymes. It contains in it plasminogen activator and plasmin. The plasminogen activator in Lumbrokinase is similar to tissue plasminogen activator from other sources. It means it possibly shows thrombolytic activities only in the presence of fibrin. That is why lumbrokinase has the advantage of not causing excessive building.

The enzymes in lumbrokinase have very strong fibrinolytic activity and are stable in a wide pH range. They also shows great stability against thermal inactivation and degradation.

Lumbrokinase has been widely used in over 100 hospitals in Beijing since 1995. In Indonesia Jakarta, lumbrokinase has been used in thousands of hospitals and stores, in more than 20 provinces and cities, as well as in Hongkong, taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

Conclusion
Lumbrokinase have a great future in both preventing and treating atherosclerotic buildup. Since our natural production of plasmin slows as we age and other factors can enter the picture to thicken the blood, it makes good sense to consider this enzyme for prevention.
However, if you take medication, ask your physician before starting this enzyme supplements. Lumbrokinase is quite powerful and your medication may have to be adjusted as a result of taking it.

Kidney is an important organ in the body and has a function of throwing away garbage metabolism and body poison in the form of urine/the urine, that afterwards is issued from the body.

What is Renal Failure?
Renal Failure is the situation when the kidney declines in function, caused by accumulation of poison in the body and the waste of metabolism. Heavy failure or not depends on how far the kidney damaged.

How is the symptom of renal failure?
Renal failure will cause some signs which called Uremic Syndrome such as:
- nausea, vomited
- appetite descended
- had a headache, weak
- often caught a cold
- breathless, inflated, diarrhoea
- often singultus
 - at first often urine tonight, afterwards urine decreased or in no urine at all.
- in difficult situation, the awareness will decline, accompanied by muscle-bound.

How many kinds of Renal Failure?
There are two kinds:
- Acute Renal Failure
it abruptly come, but can be healed completely
- Chronic Renal Failure
It happens in phases, and can not be cured. However, if the patient takes medicine regulary, it can prevent from another damage of the kidney.

What are the causes of Acute Renal Failure?
Pre Renal Cause: diarrhea and vomiting, bleeding, or wide burn.
Renal Cause: Acute glumerulonefritis (The swollen face, swollen foot, blood pressure increased, sometimes accompanied by waist pain and urine color is red)
Post Renal Cause: urinary tract is clogged up (tumour stone, the blood clot, etc.), marked with great waist pain, sometimes urine is red, it volume is decreased or no urine at all.

What is the cause of Chronic Renal Failure?
The cause of chronic renal failure are:
- chronic glumerulonefritis (swollen face, high blood pressure, urine decreased or no urine at all)
- diabetes melitus
- Hypertension
- kidney stone,
- drugs

After years unpopular, Coconut oil today is known having extraordinary benefits because of its high concentrate of medium-chain fatty acid, called laurat acid. The power of laurat acid has been proved by many world researchers. The expert from Disease Control Center, Georgia, USA said that laurat acid can fight against 14 viruses and bacterias, such as influenza, rubella, coronavirus, herpes, staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus agaltiae. "Laurat acid works by destroying fatty layer of microorganism,' said prof Waluyo Soerjodibroto, a lecturer of Medical faculty of Indonesia University, who also did some research on coconut oil.

Michael Bergeron, a researcher from Universit Laval, Qu'bec, Canada, in 2003 found laurat in the form of sodium lauril sulfat. The mixture of those ingredients can dissolve virus membrane and force it to go out. Coconut oil is powerful to prevent HIV virus infiltrate the body. It also prove to be able to kill 90% of herpes viruses.

In industrial world, lauric acid is also greatly needed. "Baby food and pharmaceutical industries need lauric acid very much," said Dr. Mohammad Ahkam Subroto, a researcher from Indonesian Biotechnological Research Center LIPI. It is because baby need lauric acid for promoting the growth of his body and brain. Actually lauric acid is also found in mother's milk, but its concentration is just only 3%. The study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 1998 showed that the amount of lauric acid, kaprik acid, and kaprilik acid in the milk of breastfeeding mother significantly increased when they consumed coconut oil. It is believe that this will make better protection for the baby.

Coconut oil also contains anti-cancer substances. It can either produce natural anti-microba substance which is beneficial to obstruct the development of patogen microorganism, such as negative gram bacteria, kandida, Measle, Holicobacteri pylori, Listeria monocytogenes Clamedia, Helicobacter, Staphylococcus sp., and protozoa such as Giadia lamblia.

So why do not try to consume this unique supplement? In Indonesia, coconut oil is produced by local people and is very easy to produce it. Most of bottled coconut oils sold at drugstores and supermarkets are home industry. Because it is categorized having medium chain molecules, it more endures from air contamination and can keep for years without any change in quality.

An new study finds that there is antioxidant content in honey. it means that honey can evade free radicals. As you know, free radical is a source of many various kinds of unhealing diseases, such as cancer.

The discovery encourages researchers to know better about anti-cancer substances in honey. It hopes that many newest researches will affirm honey benefits which is very potent to halt the spreading of vicious diseases.

Honey reputation as medicine for respiration problem is still affirmated today. Honey can drive out phlegm or liquid that cloggs up bronchial tube. Greek and Roman people believed that honey can be used as decongestant.

Opera singers also fond of using honey as to take care of their throat. A glass of warm water mixed with lemon and honey can help them to clear away their laryngitis. It is because honey has the power of desinfectant. Honey can enhance saliva production that can take care of dry throat.

Honey also has light sedative feature. That is why traditional people often admix honey with milk to be drunk before sleeping. Milk with honey can make them relax and sleep faster.

Most of all sweet food, including honey, will trigger brain to produce endorfin in the body. Because of its high fructose level, honey has little effect of loosen the bowel.

It is also believed that honey is ever to be used as aphrodisiac. The term of honeymoon actually comes from ancient tradition of North Europe people. At that time, newlywed had to consume honey and mead in order to arouse their sexual appetite.

According to Ibnu Sina, if you want to be always young and healthy although you get along in years, you must consume honey routinely.

Women in Egypt, Greece and Rusia reportedly always use honey to take care of their face skin in order to stay beautiful and clean. Honey is used to wash out of stain and hyperpigmentation and prevent from wrinkle. You can make skin lotion by yourself by mixing honey 100 gram with 25 ml of alcohol and 25 ml of fresh water.

The flavor of honey is greatly influenced by the kind of flower which the bees consume its nectar. Today we can find many flavor of honey, such as silk-cotton honey, tamarind honey, manggo, apple etc.

However, if the bee consumes nectar of poisonous flower, the honey they produce poisonous too. For example, if the bees suck nectar from rhodonderon flower, the honey they produce will cause paralyzing. Some poisonous plants, beside rhodonderon, are azalea, andromeda, agave, atropa, datura,
euphorbia, kalmia, gelsemium, and melaleuca. The poisonous honey usually wild honey.

Before sugar was invented, in the medieval ages, honey was used as the sweet flavor for every food. At the end of 17 century, sugar was more popular than honey as a sweeter. But, the English queen and her family still always used honey for their food. So why we not keep up with the Queen.

This is a title of an article written by dr. Dixon at Dis Lancet magazine, 2003 February edition. Dr. Dixon said that honey is very powerful to cope with viruses. So there are no viruses can fight against honey. Dr. Dixon is one of scientists who is interested in studying honey benefits.

There is more something interesting in honey. Medicians usually warn diabetic patients to consume foods or sweet drinks in case of the level of sugar in the blood will rise. According to a research, this doctor's warning can not be applied for honey.

Honey can lower the sugar level in blood for diabetic patients. Some researchs shows that there is oxidation subtance in honey that enable sugar expansion far easier. This make the sugar level in blood not arise.

Its content that is rich of vitamin B1, B5 and G make honey very important for diabetic patients. Honey also contains at least 100 different elements which are very important for human body, especially diabetic patients.

Athenaeus, a Greek philosopher and a writer, said that if everyone routinely drinks honey, they will be free of any diseases in the rest of his life.

The philosopher is right, because there are many kinds of unique and potential nutrition in honey to take care of our health and beauty. Honey has a great power of healing. Many nutritions in it has long to be used to cope burning injury, to increase stamina, to uplift sexual desire, and even to prevent from cancer. This gold-color liquid is also used to keep the skin beauty.

A scientist from Illionis University at Urbana, USA, wrote in a Journal of Agricultural Research that the benefits of every honey is maybe different. However, all kinds of honey certainly contain the same amount of antioxidant agent, such as vitamin E and C. The antioxidant is believed enable to prevent from cancer, heart disease and other diseases.

According to prof. Dr. H. Muhilal, a nutritionist from The Center of Nutrition Research and Development, Bogor, honey contains amino acid, carbohydrate, protein, some vitamins and mineral that are easily absorbed by the body. Free amino acid in honey can help the process of healing. Honey is also used as a formation of neurotransmitter, a subtance used to optimize brain function. Honey also contains useful antibiotic substance to defeat patogen viruses.

The type of carbohydrate in honey is simple. The overall compositions of honey are water 17,1%; total carbohydrate 82,4%; protein, amino acid, vitamin, and mineral 0,5%. The main carbohydrate consists of fructose 38,5% and glucose 31%. The rest of carbohydrate is 12,9% which consists of maltose, sucrose, and other sugar. As carbohydrate, a spoontable of honey can supply energy 64 calorie.

Because of its healthy content, it is not astonished that honey was used by Ancient Egypt to cure burning injury and wound. It was known then at that time that honey had antiseptic and antimicobial features. Because of its potent to slown down bacterial development, honey can faster the healing process of injury.

The similar statement is also stated by dr. Peter Molan from University of Waikato, New Zealand. He added that honey also stimulate the development of new cells.

Do you want to be ageless or longvity and disease-proof? if those you are looking for, consuming bee pollen regulary is the best answer. The world has prove it, from the time of Ancient Egypt until today.

What is pollen? Pollen is tiny grains that are produced in the male organs of flowering and cone-bearing plants. They are like powder. Every grain of pollen contains 100.000 to 5 million pollen spore, which has the ability to reproduce plants.

How do honey bees collect pollen? Beside sucking up nectar, bee also collects pollen. When the bees find it, they take pollen by their front foot. After they wet pollen with honey, they put pollen to their pollen basket at their back foot. Pollen is the young bees' source of important fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. While the sugar in nectar is mainly a source of energy.

Bee pollen contains 18 amino acids, eight of them are essential, 12 vitamin, 28 mineral, enzyme, co-enzyme, 14 important fatty acids, 11 carbohydrate, phytonutrients (lecithin, beta-carotene, selenium) and 30% protein.

The benefits of bee pollen:
1. to upgrade IQ
2. prevent from cancer
3. prevent from impotency and unfertility
4. Triglicerida
5. Arthritis.
6. Diabetes.
7. high blood pressure
8. anemia
9. asthma
10. prostate
and many other diseases.

As the story goes, Queen Cleopatra used honey rich of bee pollen as her pool to keep her beauty and ageless. The Roman army used to bring pastries made from bee pollen, honey and wheat in order to raise their power in the battle of Cicero (106 - 43 BC). According to history, most of houses in the Roman empire at that time kept honey and bee pollen as their health supplement.

The Comments of Modern Medical Experts

Mme. Aschenasy Leru, The chief of The Centre of Science Research in France said: Pollen contains 40 - 80% of free glutamat acid which is not produced by human body. The acid can prevent embolism in brain, raise IQ and concentration, and repair mental deficiency.

Prof. Nicolai Vasilleivich Tsitsin, The chief of Rusian Biological and Botanical Board. He examined Rusian people who had age more than 100 year and found that more than 200 of his examiners kept honey bees. They also consumed honey residue as their rich of bee pollen food.

How to Use Bee Pollen for Our Health and Beauty?

Bee Pollen can be consumed directly as a snack for ones who conduct diet.

Bee Pollen can be mixed with royal jelly or honey to maintain fit and healthy life.

Bee Pollen which is mixed with honey or royal jelly is very good for smoothening and rejuvenating skin.

How can a powder with a size only 0,05 mm be able to influence human life? Even without the powder, our earth will become a desert. Do ypu want to know what powder is? The magic powder is a flower powder called pollen.

Pollen consists of tiny grains that are produced in the male organs of flowering and cone-bearing plants. Seeds develop after pollen is transferred from the male part of a plant to the female part. This transfer of pollen is called pollination.

So without pollen, there is no pollination, and without pollination there are no trees. How the world will seen if there are no trees in earth! Can we imagine that?

Pollen collected by bees when they suck up nectar from the flowers. When bees suck up nectar, pollen mixed with nectar and bees' saliva is collected and is saved in pollen basket at bee's foot. So the pollen collected by bee is called "bee pollen".

Is pollen a nutriment? Pollen is the young bees' source of important fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. In 1963, A research held by Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research in Milwaukke, USA reported that bee pollen had perfect nutritious balance, so it could be used as an independent food. Bee pollen was also equipped with a perfect liquid.

According to Dr. G.J. Binding, bee pollen is the best food ever existed, even it is the nearly perfect food. Not only bee pollen arouses power and energy in the body, but also it can enhance body protection against infection.

Today many professional athletes consume bee pollen to enhance their power. Bee pollen is also used to be applied at healing field.

If we ask common people about fiber, perhaps they will fastly say that fiber-contained food is very good and recommended. It is the positive effect of advertisement in TV or mass media about this important food. However, if you try to ask some people whether chicken meat and beef contain fiber or not, it is possible that 8 of 10 people say they have. Whereas fiber is in fact not in animal food. All of fiber is in vegetable food.

Why Fiber is Important?
Fiber is important for our body because it can absorb water and make the food enlarge so it arouse satiation feeling. Fiber also retards digestion system so that it can keep satiation feeling longer. By this mechanism, fiber help us lower our weight and sugar-content in the blood.

The ability of fiber to absorb water make our waste softer. This can stimulate peristaltic contraction in large intestine so that the waste does not stay much longer in the intestine and we can be defecated smoothly. This mechanism work of fiber really help to alleviate and also to prevent from piles. The toxic of our waste in our body does not have enough time to stimulate the formation of cancer cell.

The fiber will also absorb gall liquid and cholesterol so that it can help lowering cholesterol level in the blood and finally can eliminate the risk of coronary disease.

Some Researchs About Fiber
The research of prof. dr. Joseph M Keenan (Minnesota University, USA) shows:
Cereal fiber has connection with the lowering of heart disease, fruit fiber has connection with the lowering of blood pressure, and soluble fiber is effectively provable in lowering cholesterol.

Dr. Maria Soller in the International Journal of Cancer:
Both soluble and unsoluble fibre has protective effect against mouth cancer, pharyngeal cancer and esophagus. Fiber also lower the risk of large intestine and rectum cancers.
Prof. Sheila Bingham ( Cambrige University ) in European Conference on Nutrition & Care at Paris: Fibre-contained food can slower digestion so that it can emerge satiation feeling longer than usual. (look at Journal of The American Medical Association).

The National Cancer Society Dietary Guidelines for America suggests to consume fiber food 20 - 35 gram a day. Whereas Indonesian people only needs 20 - 25 gram a day.Although the fact shows that Indonesian people only consumes fiber 10 - 15 gram a day (Puslitbang Gizi Bogor).

The conclusion is if you are a good consumer of cereal, nuts, beans, cabbage and other leafy vegetables and fruits, you do not worry about fiber deficiency. But if you don't, you have to take fiber supplement to help you.

Around the world, there are one billion people suffer cardiovascular disease. The number of sufferers seems to increase every year. Cardiovascular now becomes the main cause of death in modern countries as well as developing ones.

Cardiovascular is one of the main cause of death around the world. the number of death because of the disease is around 30% of all diseases that cause death (WHO report 2004)

The disease is generally suffered by adult. However, young people recently tends to become its target.

The medical care of cardiovascular can be started by trying to alter the way of life in connection with food, sport, alcohol and smoking habit. Long-consumed drug is also taken to take care of the disease.

What is Cardiovascular (CVD)?
Cardiovascluar is a group of disease concerning heart and blood vessel. One of CVD sample is coronary (CHD), stroke, and thrombosis
. Both CHD and stroke can be caused by
embolism (blocking of a blood vessel by a blood clot).

The Main Factors of CVD
- drinking alcohol
- obesity
- high blood pressure
- diabetes
The disease substantially increase CVD risk. Men suffer diabetes melitus type 2 risk two times more than women who suffer the same diabetes.
- Food
One of the main factors that increase CVD in Indonesia is the alteration of way of life, especially in connection with physical activities and the habit of consuming unhealthy food. Some of them are consuming saturated fat and salt more than consuming vegetables and fruits.
-Sport
WWHO report in 2002 shows that 1 up to 24 % of CVD in modern countries is caused by low sport intensity (under 2,5 hour in a week). The new way of life can also lower the intensity of doing sport.
-High Colesterol
- Smoking
Passive smokers can be attacked by the disease with the risk level of 25%.

Taking Care of CVD
There are some receipt drugs that are available for CVD, including anti-platelet, anti-hypertension (such as ACE inhibitor, AIIRA), lowering-lipid medicine, statin, beta blocker, diuretik, and vasodilator. There are also many patients who need surgical operation such as by-pass operation of coronary blood vessel.

Although there are some treatments that prove to be effective, CVD prevention is better. The prevention can be achieved by reducing its risk factors, such as lowering blood vessel, lowering cholesterol level, stop smoking, reducing alcoholic drink, and doing sport more. The last research shows that some medicines are proven to reduce CVD arising, and of course they can prevent from CVD.

Tomato is a plant grown for its smooth, round, juicy fruit. The word tomato refers both to the fruit, which people eat, and to the entire plant. The fruit has a slightly acid taste. There are more than 4,000 varieties of tomatoes.

Tomatoes originated in South America, and Spanish priests probably brought them to Europe from Mexico in the mid-1500's. People in Spain and Italy then began to grow tomatoes as food. Now this plant can be found in every countries in the world.

The tomato belongs to the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Its scientific name is Lycopersicon esculentum.

Botanists classify tomatoes as fruits. Horticulturists, however, classify them as vegetables. Most other people consider tomatoes vegetables because fresh tomatoes are used in much the same way as lettuce, onions, cauliflower, and many other vegetables. Fresh tomatoes are eaten raw or cooked and are served in salads and other dishes. Most tomatoes grown in the United States (and also in Indonesia) are processed for use in making food products. These products include ketchup, tomato juice, tomato soup, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and canned whole tomatoes. Tomatoes are an important source of vitamins A and C and of certain minerals.

Why is Tomato Important for Our Health? It is because tomato contains:
- Vitamin C - Tomatine  The substance has features of anti inflammation, and contains caroten and citrate acid. If tomato is rubbed to the face, the citrate acid can help removing dust and grease. So it can be used as acne natural medicine just by rubbing it to the face.

- Carbohydrate.
If tomato is consumed daily, it will become additional energy source for the body. The additional energy is important to be used to increase the activity of body organ. This is a good news for dieters. Carbohydrate in fruit is easier to digest and is better than in rice or bread.

- Fat.
Fat in tomato contains essential fatty acid which is important for skin and other parts of the body. Other function of fat in tomato is to dissolve vitamin A, D, E, K which is good eyes and blood circulation. It is important to know that if we take vitamin supplement, we have to consume fat. because fat is important to digest those vitamins.

- Protein.
It is a source of amino acid which is used by the body to develop and substitute damaged cells.

- Lycopene.
The most powerful nutrient in tomato is an active substance called lycopene. The substance is an antioxidant compound of carotenoid group nad mostly found in red tomato. In the body, the compund is saved in testicle, adrenal gland and prostate. The result of a research in Italia showed that consuming high dose of lycopene can decrease the risk of stomach or intestine cancer. The information of lycopene can be found elsewhere in this blog.

VITAMIN E is one of vitamins that plays important role in body to prevent ageing. Nevertheless, if it is consumed in high dose, this vitamin is supposed be able to increase the risk of lung cancer. A research reported it and it was publicized on early February 2008.

Research in The United States that entangled 77 thousand of participants indicates that consuming 400 milligrams a day of vitamin E in a long-term can increase cancer risk up to 28 percents, especially among smokers.

The research result publicized in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine also send a warning of similar threat about beta-caroten if it is consumed redundantly.

Researcher suggests that vitamin E intake shall not be obtained from synthetic drugs. To get the best benefit, vitamin E is better to be obtained from natural source like fruits and vegetable.

Dr. Tim Byers from Colorado University told that well-balanced and healthy diet by acquiring benefit from wide coverage of nutrition and mineral can help avoiding the risk of cancer.

In their research, the expert team monitors daily intake of vitamin C, acid folat and vitamin E taken by participants with average age of 50 till 76 for four years. Throughout the research, it is noted that 521 participants experiencing lung cancer.

Cigarette habit, disease history in families and age are factors that have been predicted having connection with cancer. Meanwhile, different with vitamin E, the usage of vitamin C and acid folat exactly do not have any effect.

Experts finally conclude, after reckoning and analysing data for at least eight year, that there is a risk increase at about 7 percent for every 100 miligram of vitamin E consumed everyday.

The habit of vitamin E consumption is usually found among smokers, but its consumption is sometime unlimited.

The benefit of vitamin E is widely recognised as antioxidant that can protect cells and molecule against free radicals. Nevertheless, researchers in The United States speculate that if vitamin E given in high dose, the vitamin can have the character of pro-oxidant, causing oxidation and trigger cells to be damaged.

Differ from the great number of assumption about the benefit of vitamin E, consumption of the vitamin as a supplement relates to the risk of lung cancer. Another research will possibly focus at other component in fruits and vegetable that maybe can explain how they have relationship with the degradation of cancer risk,¨ said Dr Christopher Slatore from Washington University that lead the research.

Meanwhile a research in Finlandia that entangled 29 thousand of male smokers consume betakaroten --which can be changed into vitamin A in the body-- shows that there is an increase of lung cancer risk as high as 18 percent.

Vitamin is a chemical compound that the human body needs in small amounts. Vitamins make up one of the major groups of nutrients (food substances necessary for growth and health). Vitamins regulate chemical reactions by which the body converts food into energy and living tissues. There are 13 vitamins. Five of them are produced in the body itself. These vitamins are biotin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin D, and vitamin K. Biotin, pantothenic acid, and vitamin K, which are made by bacteria in the human intestine, are usually produced in sufficient quantities to meet the body's needs. In addition, sunlight on the skin can produce an adequate amount of vitamin D. But the other nine vitamins must be supplied in a person's daily diet.

Each vitamin has such specific uses that one of the compounds cannot replace, or act for, another. But the lack of one vitamin can interfere with the function of another. The continued lack of one vitamin in an otherwise complete diet results in a vitamin deficiency disease. Such diseases include beriberi, pellagra, rickets, and scurvy. Investigators first discovered vitamins while searching for the causes of such diseases. In order to be considered a vitamin, a substance must be required in the diet to prevent a deficiency disease.

The best way for a healthy individual to obtain vitamins is to eat a balanced diet. A daily diet that includes a variety of foods from each of the basic food groups provides an adequate supply of all the vitamins (see NUTRITION [vitamins]). A Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) has been established for most vitamins. In order to provide a margin of safety, the RDA is considerably greater than the amount of a vitamin needed daily for good health. The RDA is established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences.

Some people take daily vitamin supplements, mostly in the form of vitamin tablets. Most supplements contain doses of one or more vitamins in the range of their RDA's. The vitamins in such preparations are equivalent to those in food. But a healthy person who eats a balanced diet has no need for such supplements.

A person with a vitamin deficiency disease may be helped by taking one or more preparations that contain large doses of a certain vitamin or of a combination of vitamins. But people should use such preparations only if they are prescribed by a physician. Self-diagnosis and treatment with megadoses (doses five to ten or more times larger than the RDA) can be dangerous.

Esophagus, also called gullet, is the muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. The muscles in the walls of the esophagus contract in a wavelike manner, moving the food down to the stomach. Glands in the walls of the esophagus secrete mucus that helps the movement of food by providing lubrication.

A muscular ring called the lower esophageal sphincter surrounds the opening between the esophagus and the stomach. The sphincter normally keeps the stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus. The stomach produces a digestive juice that, in most people, contains a strong acid called hydrochloric acid. If the sphincter fails to function properly, stomach acid may rise back into the esophagus, causing a painful burning sensation called heartburn. The acid may damage the esophagus, leaving open sores in its lining.

The human esophagus is about 10 inches (25 centimeters) long. The length varies greatly in different animals. The esophagus of fish is short, while that of giraffes is extremely long. Many birds have a saclike part of the esophagus called the crop for the temporary storage of food.

Scientists from Wroclaw Intitute of Agriculture, Polandia suggest us to prefer a dull-skin apple to fair one. It is because a dull-skin apple contains polyphenol antioxindant two fold than a fair-skin apple.

And it better to consume apple by eating it directly, avoid of making it as a juice. It is because if it is made as a juice, its polyphenol will lose.

Our topic the last several weeks has been focusing on compartmentalization: what is it and why do it?
F – Find the File You Need
I – Integrate When Possible
Compartmentalization is used for those who have a hard time integrating all aspects of themselves into one person. But just like anything else, compartmentalization can be used in a good way, and it can also be used in a not-so-good way. Criminals, for example, often use compartmentalization to separate their immoral behavior from their every day lives. So it is important to know why you are using compartmentalization. That's where the questions we asked ourselves back in "take your time" can help:
Is this experience making me, and others around me, more or less functional? Does this activity also bring others around me more energy and joy or make them more clam and content, or does it make them agitated?
More often than not people want to interact with a person who they recognize and know. They want to interact with someone who is consistent, not constantly changing.
Integrate, when possible, is simply stating that no matter what role we are playing, there are some things that should be consistent with and apply to all roles. Being honest and truthful, showing compassion and respect, using wisdom and discernment, for example.
While there are some activities we want to keep separate, showing too much or inappropriate affection for example, there are others we want to keep consistent. Consistency builds trust, which is essential for all relationships in all roles and responsible we perform and experience.

I sold the bicycle I can't ride, which means I'm ready to buy one that I can. The primary consideration is that it have an upright seating position so that I don't put any weight on my wrists. Secondarily, having bars that come back is good since it will keep me from extending my shoulder a lot. (Man, this getting old stuff really sucks.) I want gears and both front and rear brakes.
I almost bought this bike at Target tonight, but I decided to wait. And then I spotted this bike on Amazon. It's pretty much the same bike, but in my color. In fact, the only difference I can discern is in color and price.

Transforaminal corticosteroids relieved at least half of the back pain at one month in 54% of patients (95% confidence interval 36% to 72%), found Nikolai Bogduk, MD, of the University of Newcastle, Australia, and colleagues.
Other substances injected at the same spot were significantly less effective (7% with anesthetic [95% CI 0% to 17%] and 19% with saline [95% CI 6% to 32%]), they reported in the August issue of Pain Medicine.
Intramuscular injections -- steroids (21%, 95% CI 6% to 36%) or saline (13%, 95% CI 1% to 25%) -- also failed to measure up to transforaminal steroids in the study.
With regard to use of a transforaminal steroid, "its immediate yield is modest, but substantial, and is not simply a placebo effect," the researchers concluded in the paper.
The number needed to treat to give one patient at least a 50% reduction in sciatica pain at one month was just three for transforaminal steroids compared with either transforaminal saline or intramuscular steroids.
An accompanying editorial called this a landmark study, since a five-arm prospective randomized controlled trial is "unparalleled" in spinal treatments.
The benefits of at least 50% pain reduction were well beyond the minimal clinically important difference, noted editorialist Ray Baker, MD, of Washington Interventional Spine Associates in Bellevue, Wash.
It may be that "transforaminal steroid injections significantly benefit patients by allowing them to continue to function with less pain while they are improving according to the natural history of the process. For many, this is sufficient to prevent the need for surgery," he wrote in the editorial.
The researchers agreed that transforaminal steroid injections may be a viable alternative to surgery, which, while apparently better than conservative treatment for some back pain indications, has yielded inconsistent results in sciatica.
Epidural steroid injections for sciatica have gotten only lukewarm endorsement in guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology due to likewise conflicting evidence in the few controlled studies that have been done.
So the researchers prospectively compared double-blind, randomized treatment of 150 patients with lumbar radicular pain and a herniated disc seen at two teaching hospitals in Australia. The study arms included:
- Transforaminal injection of steroids (0.75 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine [Marcaine, Sensorcaine] followed by 1.75 mL of triamcinolone in a concentration of 40 mg/mL)
- Transforaminal injection of local anesthetic (2 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine), "to test for a local anesthetic effect"
- Transforaminal injection of 2-mL normal saline, "to test for an irrigation effect"
- Intramuscular injection of steroids (1.75 mL of triamcinolone in a concentration of 40 mg/mL), "to test for a systemic effect"
- Intramuscular injection of 2-mL normal saline, "to test for nonspecific (placebo) effects of an elaborate injection"
The proportion of patients who reached the primary endpoint of at least 50% reduction in sciatica pain at one month did not differ significantly among the arms other than transforaminal steroid injection.
Nor did the two intramuscular injection groups differ significantly in response rate between steroids and saline. Transforaminal local anesthetic yielded a statistically similar response to transforaminal saline.
No complications occurred that could be attributed to treatment in any arm.
Continued follow-up showed that the median duration of relief granted by the different treatments was likewise similar between groups. The largest proportion of patients maintained relief at 12 months with transforaminal steroid injection: seven (25%) versus five with intramuscular steroids, two with transforaminal saline, three with intramuscular saline, and one with transforaminal local anesthetic.
The researchers cautioned that these differences were not significant given the small number of patients, but that the number needed to definitively prove long-term outcomes would be prohibitive.
Overall, similar proportions of patients avoided surgery in each group.
For the transforaminal steroid group, nine of the 18 (50%) who avoided surgery did so because they benefited from the injection, whereas the rate was 5% to 23% in the other groups. Most of the remaining ones who avoided surgery in the the other study groups did so because of a good response to rescue treatment with transforaminal steroid injection.
"Those interested in long-term outcomes only might decide that intramuscular steroids are virtually as effective as transforaminal steroids, but are less demanding technically; so, it might seem pragmatic to use intramuscular steroids in the first instance," the researchers wrote in the paper.
But the intramuscular injections used in the study weren't a simple bedside injection; instead, they were being done as an elaborate procedure under fluoroscopy, which may have an impact on patient perception and thus efficacy, Bogduk's group noted.
The researchers also cautioned that transforaminal steroid injection carries some risk of unintended intra-arterial particulate injection if done carelessly.
The study was fully supported by a grant from the International Spine Intervention Society.
The researchers reported that they had no conflicts of interest to disclose.
Baker reported that he had no conflicts of interest to disclose.

I'm not in anyway remotely a gothic-type, but the witchy tomboy vibe of Meadham Kirchhoff has seized my imagination and made me want to somehow incorporate lace into my outfit. And those pimped-up, embellished cropped skinny trousers are awesome. I'm not usually a black person either, but I think wearing all the black in China got to me.

text: Hello, this is a thread for discussing alternative keyboard layouts. I suppose I'm not alone about switching from qwerty to another layout For about one year ago, I tried svorak(Swedish Dvorak) the second time, and that time I made it all the way. It took me about half a year to get used to the new layout, but I've been typing svorak since then. Something I've noticed when typing qwerty this times is that you have to stretch your fingers all along the keyboard all the time.. It's very non-ergonomic Svorak is much simplier to write when you've got used to it. Give it a try! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard

We had our longest holiday recently, and since it's the longest hol we've ever had, it took us even longer to get back to the routine at home. Ok, I digress. For our travels, we'd usually stay in apartments, kitchen included, for us to experiment with home-away-from-home food.
I don't know why but I made these a lot more when I'm overseas, compared to when I'm home. For our recent travel, I made them too, chicken nuggets and chicken strips. The original recipe's from the domestic goddess herself but I tweaked them a bit and they are still a hit.
It was super easy but make sure you marinate it for at least 48 hours, the minimum.
The chicken breast would need to be marinated with buttermilk and ritz or cheese crackers. I did just that, marinated with buttermilk, crushed some cheese crackers and kept it in the fridge for 2 days.
After 2 days, I minced 1/2 of the portion, shaped them into tiny nuggets, coat them with breadcrumbs and crushed cheese crackers and fry them.
The other half were cut in strips, again coated with breadcrumbs and crushed cheese crackers and fried. It was yummy!
The way I made it was a little more cumbersome since I minced the chicken meat (1/2 of the portion) as much as possible before I shaped them. I also marinated the chicken together with the cheese crackers. The original recipe didn't call for both.
The good thing about the recipe is it's great for kids and mummies can also hide tiny broccoli florets or julienned carrots into the nuggets, if your kids are a little skittish of their greens.
If you want the original recipe from none other than the domestic goddess, check it out here:
Here's a direct copy and paste from the above site:
* 2 (each weighing approximately 8 ounces with the peg bone, less without) chicken breasts
* 1 cup buttermilk
* 1/2 cup oil (if you are frying the nuggets)
* 1 3/4 cups cracker crumbs (recommended: Ritz crackers)
* Serving suggestion: Capery Salad, recipe follows
Cut off the chicken peg bone if there is 1, and put the chicken breasts one at a time into a freezer bag so that it lies flat. Bash with a rolling pin until the chicken is quite thin, and then take it out and slice into about 6 to 8 slices. Repeat with the other chicken breast. This is easiest done with scissors.
Put the slices into a freezer bag with the buttermilk and leave in the refrigerator to marinade for up to 2 days.
When you are ready to cook them, heat the oil in a large frying pan, or preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Tip the cracker crumbs into a wide shallow bowl, and then shake off the excess buttermilk from the nuggets and dip them in the crumbs. Coat them well before lying gently in the hot oil, and cooking for about 2 minutes or so a side until they are golden brown. Transfer to a kitchen towel on a plate to blot the excess oil.
Alternatively, you can lay the crumb-coated chicken nuggets on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. They can also be frozen once marinated and crumbed. If cooking from frozen, add 5 minutes to the oven cooking time.

There is nothing commonplace about swimwear – most of us only ever wear it for a few weeks of the year. That may well be the very thing that gives swim- and beachwear their particular charm. Swimwear gives us the irresistible feeling of summer and freedom, of sand on our skin and the warm wind in our hair. A triangle bikini, a simple swim set or a sporty tankini are memories and promises at the same time. We feel last summer's warmth and endless days of sunshine and we know for certain: the next summer will eventually come.
Long hot days and balmy nights there's no way you can waste sleeping – do you remember a summer like that? Where better to spend it than on holiday at the seaside? When the first rays of the sun bathe everything in a reddish glow, then tiredness vanishes completely. In the light breeze that toys with your hair and in the fabulous golden light of the deserted beach you swim a few strong strokes in the gentle waves dressed only in your tankini with its spaghetti straps. The air is fresh and pleasant and you soak up energy for the coming day. Breakfast or another hour of sleep? Better still, a coffee on the veranda while the day slowly comes to life. A softly hanging cotton shirt over a monochrome under-wired bikini and hipsters is perfect for the early morning hours. Slowly everything around you starts waking up, and an hour later even your best friend is out of bed. Time for breakfast outdoors before you hit the beach. The morning is for you alone – and the sun. You doze off on an airy linen towel, run your feet through the sand and cool them off in the gentle surf every now and then. Dolce far niente, time for chatting and laughing and exactly the right situation for your favourite bikini. In your push-up bra and hipsters or in a black, finely detailed neck holder, you exude the relaxed sex appeal and the precise air of carelessness that characterises days like this.
You spend the hot midday period in the cool shade of the house. But as soon as the sun starts to cool off a bit it's time to get moving again. You give your energies free rein during a game of beach volleyball right on the seashore. A tankini or a bathing costume with a high cut leg will have no trouble in keeping up with you. Finally, breathless and covered in sand, you cool off in the sea after winning the game. The losers owe you a drink – preferably your favourite cocktail at the little bar right on the beach. In seconds flat you're ready to celebrate your victory comfortably and in relaxed summer style in your simple triangle bikini with midi under a tight top and shorts. Slowly the day draws to a close as you sit at the beach bar. With your feet in the sand and your cool glass in your hand you watch the sun go down over the sea and feel how the heat of the day slowly gives way. A wonderful summer day – and tomorrow will be exactly the same. Nonchalant, carefree and sexy in a relaxed way: beachwear should be exactly like a perfect summer's day. Enjoy your freedom and feel the summer sun on your skin every day of the year – with fantastic swimwear from Esprit.

Washington Capitals general manager David Poile said yesterday it might be time to cut the team's minor-league program in half.
Poile said the team will lose two players in the expansion draft, has a number of minor-league players whose contracts won't be renewed, and face a thinner college draft because more teams will be drafting.
"I haven't made any final decisions," he said. "But I'm thinking along those lines."
Poile said he hopes to decide sometime this week about whether to keep the Capitals associated with the Skipjacks, who are moving to Portland, Maine, or to share another American Hockey League franchise with another NHL club.

DETROIT (Bloomberg) -- The UAW Chrysler health care trust said its assets grew by $1.58 billion last year, more than half of which came from the rising value of its Chrysler holding.
The trust's net assets grew by 18 percent in 2012 to $10.3 billion, according to its 2012 financial statement, filed Oct. 11. Almost $900 million of the gain resulted from an increase in the value it placed on its Chrysler stake. Expenditures for benefits rose less than 0.1 percent to $631.1 million.
Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Chrysler and majority owner Fiat, has spent four years trying to merge the companies. Fiat filed for an initial public offering of Chrysler shares last month at the behest of the trust. The two sides are sparring over the value of the trust's 41.5 percent stake, listed as $3.6 billion in the 2012 filing.
Marchionne valued the stake at $1.7 billion in July, when the trust said it had increased to $4.2 billion. Matt Wood, a spokesman for the trust, and Katie Merx, a Chrysler spokeswoman, declined to comment on the filing.
Health care trusts for retirees from General Motors and Ford also reported increases, a reversal after the three funds showed losses for 2011. Chrysler's trust, organized as voluntary employee beneficiary plan had lost $733.6 million a year earlier. Its liabilities more than doubled last year to $349.6 million.
The trust received its stake in Chrysler as part of the automaker's 2009 bankruptcy to help pay for the medical benefits of Chrysler's union retirees. The trust covered the medical benefits for 61,214 people at the end of 2012, according to its 2012 financial statement.
The GM UAW retiree health care trust ended 2012 with almost $30 billion in net assets, 5.8 percent increase from the beginning of the year, according to records filed with the U.S. Department of Labor on Oct. 11. The trust completed 2012 with a net income of $1.65 billion compared with a $4.7 billion loss in 2011.
In September, GM said it plans to buy back almost half of the trust's preferred shares in the automaker for $3.2 billion.
The Ford UAW retiree health care trust ended 2012 with $15.9 billion in net assets, a 5.4 percent increase from the beginning of the year, according to its filing. The trust ended the year with net income of $806.8 million compared with a $973 million loss in 2011.

China's Third-Wealthiest Man Is About to Get $1.7 Billion Richer
(Bloomberg) -- China Evergrande Group is about to hand its billionaire chairman a big lump of cash.
The developer, which has regularly bought back its own shares, will hold a board meeting on Aug. 20 to consider paying a special dividend for the past two financial years. Assuming a payout of 50 percent of 2016-2017 profit, as announced in March, that could amount to 11.5 billion yuan ($1.7 billion) for Hui Ka Yan, who owns about 78 percent of the company.
Hui is China's third-richest person, with an estimated wealth of $34.9 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Evergrande's 2017 annual report shows the 59-year-old was paid 224,000 yuan last year in fees, and no salary. Expectations for a special dividend have helped spur a rally in the company's stock, sending Hui closer to replacing Tencent Holdings Ltd.'s Pony Ma as China's second-wealthiest individual. Ma is worth $37.7 billion.
Evergrande shares jumped 8 percent in Hong Kong on Friday, for a weekly gain of 36 percent. The main boost came in a 21 percent surge Tuesday, after the company said first-half profit likely more than doubled. A share-price adjustment on the ex-dividend date will likely offset some of the rally. Following a series of buybacks, Evergrande has a free float of just 15 percent, the third-smallest for a Hong Kong company with a market value above $10 billion, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Evergrande's biggest weekly advance since 2011 has left short-sellers licking their wounds. The Guangzhou-based company's shares are now up 5.2 percent this year, still a far cry from 2017, when they rallied 458 percent.
Evergrande is due to report first-half results later this month. China International Capital Corp. said in a note Friday it estimates profit to have doubled from a year earlier, and that generous dividend payouts are likely.

Most English combinations tend to be full-bodied and strong...not for everyone. I've taken a Balkan combination and tempered it with cube-cut Burleys and Virginia to create a "moderate" English.
