e-Bomb or emp-Bomb In today’s electronic age where our reliant on electricity power becomes almost an absolute dependency. An Electromagnetic Bomb (e-bomb) or Electro-Magnetic Pulse Bomb has the potential to stop or destroy any electrical equipment in its path. Although harmless to humans and building structures, a low range e-bomb is capable of disabling electronic circuitry, a mid-range version would be capable of corrupting computer data whereas a very high level e-bomb may be capable of destroying electrical power and devices, including knocking out a power station, disabling motor vehicles, destroying radio or television stations and more. According to a CBS News report, the United States deployed an experimental e-bomb on 24 March 2003 to knock out Iraqi satellite television and disrupt the broadcast of propaganda. Say after me: “Off-site backup" |

You probably use antibacterial products - including hand soap, household cleaners, and sponges - to keep yourself and your family safe from germs. But overuse of these products can lead to the development of “superbugs" that can’t be easily killed by antibiotics and have the potential to spread disease. The problem, say scientists, is that antibacterial products leave a residue behind. The residue continues to kill weaker bacteria, but allows a small subpopulation that has immunity to reproduce at will. (Source: CNN and Scientific American) |

Get an Anti-Aging Boost From Strength Training By Craig Ballantyne Every day, I receive spam e-mails from marketers trying to sell me "Human Growth Hormone" boosters to help prevent aging. HGH does have anti-aging properties, but you don’t need to buy anything to increase your own levels of it. There’s a natural way to do so. It’s called strength training. Researchers from the University of North Carolina found that when they compared the amount of growth hormone released as a result of a 30-minute aerobic exercise session or strength training, significantly more was released with the strength-training workout. So if you are looking for a way to fight aging naturally (and increase fat burning while you’re at it), don’t neglect strength training as part of your exercise program. The best strength-training exercises to use are multiple-muscle and total-body exercises, such as step-ups, lunges, and squats. You can do these with your bodyweight only, or while holding dumbbells in both hands. Do three sets of eight repetitions two to three times per week. And add a pushing exercise, such as push-ups or dumbbell chest presses, to get a fast, total-body workout that builds muscle, burns fat, and boosts growth hormone. [Ed. Note: Craig Ballantyne is an expert consultant for Men’s Health magazine. If you’re looking to burn fat, build muscle, and quickly step into the body you have always wanted with just three workouts each week, check out Craig’s fat-loss system, Turbulence Training for Fat Loss.] From the http://www.earlytorise.com newsletter [Early to Rise Copyright ETR, LLC, 2007] If you’d like to subscribe to Early to Rise or suggest it to a friend, please visit: here |

Andrew asked me for my Breakfast smoothie recipie, so here it is again. (While I am preparing the smoothie I chew on a handful of dried goji berries.) This is what I throw into a blender for my breakfast smoothie: A half a handful of each of these nuts: Almonds Brazils Cashews Macadamias Peanuts Pecans Pistachios Walnuts with some apple juice an apple a banana a kiwi fruit some apricots and a half a handful of frozen blackberries strawberries raspberries and blueberries. That makes enough for four large glasses so I have one glass a day and leave the remainder in the fridge. I then put a teaspoon of each of: maca powder Super Greens Glucosamine and protein powder into a glass of the smoothie and that’s breakfast! Lasts me until lunch-time. If you don’t go through it fast enough on the third or fourth day it will start to tingle on the tongue. You can either cut down the quantities or just pour the extra into icypole containers and freeze it. It makes a delicious icypole of which the grandkids can’t get enough. |
