PoliticsMust Read!!! The Dangers Of Microwaves And Their Effects On Our Food by Hintboy(op): 1:22pm On Nov 28, 2017
America’s most convenient appliance – microwave ovens seem to be an absolute necessity in today’s fast-paced world. They are currently present in at least 90% of homes in America thanks to their ability to cook and reheat foods or beverages in a simple, rapid way. The majority of people use this kitchen appliance without question and often thing microwaves just a simple alternative to conventional ovens. This page is here to tell you to think twice before using your microwave, as it could be one of the worst things you do for your own food.

What are microwaves and how do they work?
In short, microwave ovens are kitchen appliances which are used to cook or reheat food by emitting microwaves. Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation and are on the low energy end of the energy spectrum, second to radio waves . The waves are generated by something called a magnetron – something found within every microwave oven.

HealthBAD Breath--causes And Symptoms by Hintboy(op): 10:52am On Nov 26, 2017
Bad breath odors vary, depending on the source or the underlying cause. Some people worry too much about their breath even though they have little or no mouth odor, while others have bad breath and don't know it. Because it's difficult to assess how your own breath smells, ask a close friend or relative to confirm your bad-breath questions.
Most bad breath starts in your mouth, and there are many possible causes. They include:
 Food. The breakdown of food particles in and around your teeth can increase bacteria and cause a foul odor. Eating certain foods, such as onions, garlic and spices, also can cause bad breath. After you digest these foods, they enter your bloodstream, are carried to your lungs and affect your breath.
 Tobacco products. Smoking causes its own unpleasant mouth odor. Smokers and oral tobacco users are also more likely to have gum disease, another source of bad breath.

EducationDiabetes 'should Not Be A Dirty Secret' by Hintboy(op): 10:24am On Nov 26, 2017
Many people living with diabetes are struggling with related emotional problems - an issue that needs support and recognition, a charity says.
Diabetes UK surveyed 8,500 people about diabetes and how it affected their daily life.
Three in five said their condition made them feel down.
Of those in employment, 16% felt discriminated against at work - and 7% had not even told their employer about their diabetes.
Clare (not her real name), 26, says she had to quit her job as a management consultant as a direct result of her diabetes.
She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13.
Despite being one of 4.5 million people affected by the condition in the UK, she says the "lack of understanding" she encountered in the workplace left her feeling "frustrated, anxious and stressed".
"I was constantly undermined and told that my diabetes wasn't that serious," says Clare.
"This included being told off for having medical appointments during the day, and being made to feel bad for talking about my diabetes.
"I don't want to be treated differently, but sometimes I need to be treated differently," she tells BBC News.
"You're young and in your 20s and people on the Tube look at you and ask, 'Why do you need a seat?'
"No-one knows I have an insulin pump attached to my bra, my blood sugars are being monitored and I am constantly thinking about food."

HealthDrivers 'should Have Compulsory Eye Tests'.read Why! by Hintboy(op): 12:43pm On Nov 25, 2017
Drivers should have compulsory eye tests every 10 years, the Association of Optometrists has said.
One in three optometrists say they have seen patients in the last month who continue to drive with vision below the legal standard, their association said.
Motorists must read a number plate from 20m (65ft) in the practical driving test, but there is no follow-up check.
The Department for Transport said changes to eyesight should be reported by motorists to the DVLA.
"All drivers are required by law to make sure their eyesight is good enough to drive," a spokeswoman said.
Data from the Department for Transport shows seven people were killed and 63 were seriously injured in accidents on Britain's roads last year when "uncorrected, defective eyesight" was a contributory factor.
'Outdated laws'
Nine out of 10 optometrists believed the existing rule - that put the onus on motorists to report themselves to the DVLA if they develop eyesight problems - is insufficient.

RomanceTop 10 Afican Countries You Must Visit 2017 by Hintboy(op): 7:11am On Nov 25, 2017
Africa is huge, like seriously, it’s a vast continent that’s so varied and filled with a melting pot of cultures, identities, beautiful nature and history. It’s a content that has so much diversity that is sometimes forgotten when we hear ‘Africa’ mentioned as a place to go to. It really is hard to bottle down the essence of Africa into a singular destination, even though we see this happen time and time again on television, radio and print.
Thankfully, travelling opens all of our eyes to these naiveties and makes us appreciate how wonderfully diverse the continent of Africa is. Whether you’re dreaming of white sandy beaches, cosmopolitan cities like Cape Town, Visiting the Atlas Mountains of Morocco or getting up close to the big five on safari , Africa is sure to have a place on your travel bucket list.
The world’s second-largest continent has a lot to offer even the most seasoned of travellers. Take a look at some of the very best countries to visit in Africa this year!
1) Botswana
Botswana is a real jewel of Africa in terms of wildlife and natural land. As a country, it’s committed to wildlife and environmental conservation, making it the ideal country to visit if you’re interested in African wildlife. The Okavango Delta, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, and Chobe National Park are just a few of the places you can head for a safari. To top it off, Botswana is also famous for its stunning watercolour-style sunsets and the friendly welcoming attitude of its locals towards tourists.

2) Malawi
This landlocked country in southern Africa is often forgotten about by us travellers in light of its more popular sisters, Kenya and Tanzania.
Boasting a geographically diverse landscape, from the impressive peaks of Mount Mulanje to the sprawling grasslands of the Nyika Plateau, and not forgetting Lake Malawi, it really is a special place to explore. Whether you come here for the hiking and kayaking or to enjoy some of its rich cultures, Malawi is a country of amazing beauty.
Don’t forget to try a local foody favourite of Nsima, it’s made up from ground up corn that can be served with roasted meats and vegetables.
3). Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

EducationMost Popular Foods In Nigeria That Will Make You Beg For More by Hintboy(op): 11:18pm On Nov 23, 2017
Nigeria is a blessed country. We are blessed with diverse rich culture and food. Nigerians both at home and the diaspora always love their food because of how unique and delicious it is. You are free to add to the list because this list is based on my research. Feel free to salivate…. It’s allowed.
RICE AND STEW
This happens to be my second favourite meal funny enough. It is called Sunday food by most people because although people prepare rice and stew on a normal day, it is most commonly prepared on Sundays.
The rice is boiled white and served with stew made from tomatoes and other ingredients. I did a research on how different people prepare stew and it turns out that there are different ways of making stew.
But 70% of Nigerians prepare is with tomato, onion, vegetable oil/palm oil. It’s definitely one of the most popular foods in Nigeria.
POUNDED YAM
Pounded yam is one of the most popular foods in Nigeria. What Nigerian man hates pounded yam? We don’t joke with our pounded yam.
It is best served with delicious soups like ukazi soup, eguisi soup, ogbono soup, oha soup, afang soup, I can go on and on but I am pretty sure you get the picture I am trying to paint.
Where I come from, the yam is pounded together with plantain and palm oil. Eat this dish I doubt u will be hungry for hours because it is filling. It is called onunu.
BEANS AND DODO
Beans and dodo is one of the most popular foods in Nigeria. Dodo is also called fried plantain. Ask most guys now in Nigeria what their best meal is, they will gladly tell you it is beans and dodo.
I was shocked when I was watching an interview on tv, a South African that visited Nigeria was asked his favourite meal in Nigeria and he said beans and plantain.

HOW TO APPROACH AND TALK TO A GIRL FOR THE FIRST TIME
How to approach a girl for the first time! What to say when you talk to a girl for the first time! Most guys find it difficult finding what to say or how to talk to a girl for the first time or how to walk up to a girl for the first time.
Approaching a girl in public isn’t as difficult as it seems, girls are equally humans, they have feelings too even if its approaching a girl you like for the first time. Walking up to a girl for the first time would get much more easier.
1. Be Confident
Being confident is the first step to approaching a lady in public, you just have to summon all the courage you’ve got and walk. For real, I’ll say there is really no big deal in this. Always remember that she has not met you before, probably not seen you before and it would be nice if you make a very good first impression.
2 .Make eye contact
If you see someone you’d like to meet, try to make eye contact before talking to her. Once you catch her eye, try to maintain eye contact. If you repeatedly make eye contact with someone, it could be a sign that she wants you to approach her. Three glances from a girl might signal that she’s interested. Why are eyes so powerful? Science seems to suggest that eye contact activates our brain’s reward center, the ventral striatum.If she returns the smile, that’s a good sign that she might be interested. Once you’ve exchanged a few glances and a smile, check her body language. This will give you a better idea if she’s actually interested.
3. Check body language
While reading another person’s body language, male or female, is NOT an exact science, there are definitely a few behaviors to look for that will signal that the person is not interested in engaging in conversation....

HealthWays To Stop Feeling So Exhausted All The Time by Hintboy(op): 11:51am On Nov 23, 2017
.Take care of your physical body.Eat right. Sleep well. Breathe deep. Get some exercise. Hydrate enough. A little self-care goes a long way.
Acu
Get into the sun.Fifteen minutes in the sun can increase your vitamin D levels. The vitamin, along with B, is responsible for fighting fatigue. People with deficiencies often experience tiredness, moodiness, aches, and stress. While a little extra sunshine can't replace the benefits of consistent sleep, soaking in the rays can pep you up a bit.
.Pick your peak time.Do thehard stuff when you’re at your sharpest. That may be4 a.m. or 3 p.m. Everybody’s different. Not sure when’s your best time? Keep an activity log for a few days and note when you have the most energy and mental clarity, then structure your activities accordingly.
Breathe correctly.“We take it for granted,” Phillips says of breathing, but it’s an extremely important part of energy. “Make your breathing conscious, at least once an hour,” says Phillips. “If you make that conscious efforton a regular basis, even when it becomes unconscious you’ll have a better breathingtechnique.” Breathing correctly will also help improve a slumped posture, so breathe deeply—from your diaphragm, notyour chest—to keep oxygen and blood flowing all day.
