The right way to open a Mangosteen
Here is the correct way to open the mangosteen
so as not to damage the juicy flesh inside...
Borneo - Mulu Caves
These incredible images show British scientists on an expedition to map a 'never-ending' cave network in a project that dates back more than 30 years.
The twisting network of caverns underneath Gunung Mulu National Park, in Sarawak, Borneo, contains the largest cave chamber in the world, the largest cave by volume and what is believed to be the largest cave passage.
Scientists carry out bi-annual visits into several caves and have so far mapped out an incredible 186 miles of the underground network.
Using lasers and other equipment they measured the dimensions of different sections of the numerous caverns stretching throughout the UNESCO World Heritage site and feed them into a computer to build up the map.
Working with Borneo's National Parks authority, the team of Brits also began mapping the area above the caves to help tourists trekking between the cave mouths know where they are.
BANANAS With Dark Patches On Yellow Skin
The fully ripe banana produces a substance called TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) which has the
ability to combat abnormal cells.
So don't be surprised very soon the shop will go out of stock for
bananas.
As the banana ripens, it develops dark spots or patches on the skin. The
more dark patches it has, the higher will be its' immunity enhancement quality .
Hence the Japanese love bananas for a good reason.
According to a Japanese scientific research,
banana contains TNF which has anti-cancer properties.
The degree of anti-cancer effect corresponds to the degree of ripeness of the fruit,
i.e. the riper the banana, the better
the anti-cancer quality..
In an animal experiment carried out by a professor in Tokyo University comparing
the various health benefits of different fruits, using banana, grape,
apple, water melon, pineapple, pear and persimmon, it was found that
banana gave the best results. It increased the number of white blood
cells, enhanced the immunity of the body and produced anti-cancer
substance TNF.
The recommendation is to eat 1 to 2 banana a day to increase your body
immunity to diseases like cold, flu and others.
According to the Japanese professor, yellow skin bananas with dark spots
on it are 8 times more effective in enhancing the property of white
blood cells than the green skin version
ALL ABOUT ATTITUDE.
ATTITUDE IS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT.......
1. SOLDIER : SIR WE ARE SURROUNDED FROM ALL SIDES BY ENEMIES ,
MAJOR : EXCELLENT ! WE CAN ATTACK IN ANY DIRECTION.
2. EVERY ONE KNOWS ABOUT ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL WHO INVENTED THE
TELEPHONE, BUT HE NEVER MADE A CALL TO HIS FAMILY. BECAUSE, HIS
WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE DEAF. THAT'S LIFE " LIVE FOR OTHERS " .
3. THE WORST IN LIFE IS "ATTACHMENT " IT HURTS WHEN YOU LOSE
IT. THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS " LONELINESS " BECAUSE IT TEACHES
YOU EVERYTHING AND, WHEN YOU LOSE IT, YOU GET EVERYTHING.
4. LIFE IS NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ACT TRUE TO YOUR FACE ........
IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO REMAIN TRUE BEHINDYOUR BACK .
5. IF AN EGG IS BROKEN BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE..A LIFE ENDS. IF
AN EGG BREAKS FROM WITHIN...... .LIFE BEGINS.
GREAT THINGS ALWAYS BEGIN FROM WITHIN .
6. IT'S BETTER TO LOSE YOUR EGO TO THE ONE YOU LOVE. THAN
TO LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE ........ BECAUSE OF EGO .
7. A RELATIONSHIP DOESN'T SHINE BY JUST SHAKING HANDS
AT THE BEST OF TIMES. BUT IT BLOSSOMS BY HOLDING FIRMLY
IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS.
8. HEATED GOLD BECOMES ORNAMENTS. BETTED COPPER BECOMES WIRES.
DEPLETED STONE BECOMES STATUE. SO, THE MORE PAIN YOU GET IN
YOUR LIFE THE MORE VALUABLE YOU BECOME.
9. WHEN YOU TRUST SOMEONE TRUST HIM COMPLETELY WITHOUT
ANY DOUBT....... AT THE END YOU WOULD GET ONE OF THE TWO :
EITHER A LESSON FOR YOUR LIFE OR A VERY GOOD PERSON .
10. WHY WE HAVE SO MANY TEMPLES , IF GOD IS EVERYWHERE ?
A WISE MAN SAID :
AIR IS EVERYWHERE, BUT WE STILL NEED A FAN TO FEEL IT .

BEWARE OF RUBBER HAIR BANDS and SLIPPERS from China
Dear Everyone,
Be cautious of hair bands at open markets around the city – they are probably from China since they are purchased in bulk very very cheap !!!!
Take a good look before buying hair bands in future – specially like the following kind….. 
These Hair bands were made from used condoms and threads. %5B2%5D.jpg "noname (1)")
%5B2%5D.jpg "noname (2)")
BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday
In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.
'These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well ....... threatening the health of local people,' it said.. Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said.
'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying. A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just Rs.5, much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper said.
A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms was illegal. China 's manufacturing industry has been repeatedly tarnished this year by a string of scandals involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both domestic and foreign markets.
In response, it launched a public relations blitz this summer aimed at playing up efforts to strengthen monitoring systems.
Check your kids hair bands and make sure they do not put them in their mouth while trying to plait or tie their hair .
See below for Chinese Slippers now being sold in Walmart in the US . Hopefully, they are not yet in India ....
REMEMBER THE PAINT ON KIDS TOYS %5B5%5D.jpg "noname (3)")
This is very true as I heard it in news from one of our localradios here that our govt has to be extra careful on these cheap imports from china.. These includes clothes, food, toys, slippers and even glasses because the Chinese are using some strong but cheap chemical in their manufacturing process. Cheap is becoming expensive and at the same time fatal.

Buah Markisa / Passiflora edulis
Di Malaysia, markisa dari varieti kuning mula menghasilkan buah dalam jangka masa 5-6 bulan selepas tempoh penanaman dan jangka hayat pokok adalah lebih kurang 3 tahun. Lebih kurang 74 hari selepas pendebungaan, bunga akan menjadi buah yang bujur berukuran kira-kira 7 cm dan 6 cm dan mempunyai berat dalam lingkungan 8 g. Buah ini manis serta mempunyai rasa dan bau yang sedap apabila ranum.
Buah markisa boleh didapati sepanjang tahun tetapi puncak pengeluarannya ialah di antara bulan Disember hingga Januari dan Julaihingga Ogos. Indeks kematangan komersil untuk buah markisa adalah apabila buah tersebut jatuh dari tangkainya secara semulajadi. Maka barulah buah markisa tersebut boleh dituai. Ini selalunya berlaku selepas 75 hari selepas proses pendebungaan.
Buah markisa ungu sesuai dimakan mentah manakala buah markisa kuning pula sesuai digunakan untuk penghasilan jus. Pulpa markisa boleh dijadikan jem, agar-agar, perasa ataupun campuran kepada yoghurt dan aiskrim. Selain mempunyai citarasa dan aroma yang unik, jus markisa merupakan sumber yang kaya dengan pro-vitamin A, vitamin C, niasin, dan riboflavin. Ia boleh dijadikan komponen untuk minuman sirap, kek, roti dan susu. Kulit buah markisa pula boleh dijadikan makanan ternakan.
Banyak sekali manfaat buah markisa bagi kesehatan. Ini terkait dengan kandungan nutrisinya dan manfaat buah markisa yang berkhasiat sebagai pereda nyeri, anti-kejang, kolitis, penenang, dan antiradang. Gangguan seperti sembelit, disentri, insomnia, gangguan haid, batuk, serak, tenggorokan kering juga bisa dihalau dengan buah ini. Daging buah markisa digunakan untuk merilekskan saraf saat sakit kepala, meredakan diare, dan neurastenia (kelelahan kronis, lemah, tidak nafsu makan, tidak bisa konsentrasi, dan susah tidur).
Penelitian invitro di University of Florida juga mendapati bahwa ekstrak buah markisa kuning banyak mengandung fitokimia yang mampu membunuh sel kanker. Fitokimia tersebut antara lain polifenol dan karotenoid. Kandungan fitokimia yang lain dalam markisa adalah harman, harmol, harmalin, passaflorine, harmine, karotenoid, viteksin, krisin, dan isoviteksin. Sedangkan kandungan gizinya antara lain: energi, lemak, protein, serat, mineral, kalsium, fosfor, zat besi, karoten, tiamin, riboflavin, niasin, asam askorbat, dan asam sitrat.

Kegunaan Daun Ubi Kayu
Siapa sangka daun ubi kayu tiada kegunaannya.. Selain direbus dibuat ulam atau dibuat pecal, daun ubi kayu juga dipercayai digunakan dalam perubatan tradisional dalam merawat sengatan gigitan serangga berbisa dan juga kegunaan lain yang mungkin anda tidak pernah tahu sebelum ini. Ikuti kisah seorang guru yang telah mengirimkan email kepada saya yang bertajuk ‘Kegunaan Daun Ubi Kayu’.
“Saya adalah seorang guru sekolah rendah yang pernah bertugas di beberapa tempat di negeri Sabah. Saya banyak berkongsi pengetahuan dengan rakan-rakan dan juga penduduk tempatan di tempat-tempat saya pernah bertugas berkaitan dengan perubatan kampung atau tradisional.
Semasa saya bertugas di daerah Tuaran, di suatu kawasan perkampungan nelayan yang sebahagian besarnya adalah etnik Bajau, saya pernah diberitahu tentang rahsia merawat sejenis penyakit misteri yang barangkali hanya wujud di sekitar masyarakat tersebut. Pada suatu masa dahulu ada terdapat suatu penyakit kulit yang misteri dan amat sukar diubati dengan perubatan moden walaupun oleh pakar sakit kulit dan biasanya menurut mereka, penyakit tersebut hanya dapat diubati oleh segelintir orang yang tahu tentang rahsia penyebab penyakit tersebut.
Penyakit tersebut dipanggil “samaie” dan dikenakan kepada orang tertentu melalui makanan (boleh mengakibatkan busung) atau sentuhan kepada kulit manusia. Bahan yang digunakan adalah himpunan 7 jenis barang terkotor dan miang tumbuhan seperti miang buluh dan miang ulat bulu.Barang-barang terkotor adalah seperti cairan daripada bangkai binatang dan juga mayat manusia. Akibat daripada terkena campuran tadi ialah jika terkena di kulit maka kulit akan menjadi gatal dan pedih yang teramat sangat, makin digaru semakin merebak dan akhirnya menyebabkan kulit bernanah dan menggelupas.Jika seseorang yang terkena itu tidur di atas tikar maka tikar akan melekat pada daging/kulit mangsa. Azab sengsara hanya Tuhan sahaja yang tahu, begitu kata orang tersebut.
Ramuan untuk mengubati penyakit tersebut adalah seperti berikut: daun ubi kayu yang masih segar, isi kunyit, kapur sireh, santan kelapa pekat sebaiknya yang berwarna hijau dan daun sireh yang matang. Kesemua bahan herba tadi harus dilumatkan dan disapu ke serata badan atau kawasan yang telah dijangkiti penyakit.
Saya hanya menyampaikan perkongsian ilmu, keberkesanan hanya diketahui oleh mereka yang pernah menjadi mangsa kepada perbuatan keji sesama manusia itu sahaja.
Apapun, melalui pengalaman saya sendiri, daun ubikayu adalah bahan herba yang berkesan untuk merawat kesan sengatan atau gigitan serangga berbisa seperti lipan dan penyengat.Ramas daun ubukayu dan tempelkan kepada bekas gigitan atau sengatan, mudah-mudahan akan cepat hilang kesan bisa dan juga tidak akan membengkak sengatan atau gigitan tersebut.
Limau Kasturi
Artikel kali ini tentang limau kasturi. Selalunya limau kasturi banyak digunakan dalam minuman. Memang aku sendiri pun suka kalau teh o dicampur dengan limau kasturi dan sedikit ais. Dikatakan juga, teh o + limau kasturi, jika diminum pagi dan petang dapat mengurangkan bau badan. Sejauh mana kebenarannya, aku sendiri belum dapat pastikan. Namun, limau kasturi bukan setakat boleh diminum sahaja. Ada lagi khasiatnya..
Baru-baru aku dapat email dari seorang perempuan , berusia 33 tahun - biasa menggunakan limau kasturi untuk mencantikan rambut dan kulit muka. Menurutnya, dia mengunakan perahan air limau kesturi untuk dilumurkan pada muka dan rambut/kulit kepala. Ini adalah untuk membuang minyak yang berlebihan pada muka dan kulit kepala yang terlalu berminyak. Kalau anda rasa kulit anda/rambut berminyak bolehlah cuba petua ini.
Menurut sumber di internet, selain dari mencantikkan kulit dan rambut, limau kasturi juga dikatakan dapat menghilangkan sakit kepala. Caranya, hiriskan beberapa biji limau dan gosoklah ke seluruh kepala. Biarkan lebih kurang 15minit barulah dicuci. Selain menghilangkan pening ia juga dapat mewangikan rambut, mengelakkan kelemumur & menyejukkan kepala. Aku pun nak try test juga petua ni untuk menghilangkan sakit kepala.. tak perlulah lagi makan panadol.
POKOK SAMBUNG NYAWA
Finally we just managed to get some cuttings of Pokok Sambung Nyawa (Gynura procumbens Merr) which is a herb native of South East Asia and is herbaceous climber of forest margins and thickets. The leaves serve in Malay culture as a flavoring for food, and also widely used for treatment of: kidney diseases, rashes, throat infection, high fever and as a antihypertensive agent. It has been reported that an ethanolic extract of this herb significantly reduces serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels of diabetic rats. There have also been studies done here.
It supposedly can be used to stop bleeding, overcome menstrual cycle problems and improves the kidney function.As a matter of interest we found the leaves eaten raw taste pretty good.
Daun Cili Boleh Mengubati Penyakit Kayap
Baru-baru ini saya mendapat lagi petua baru dari seorang pembaca. Saya rasa petua ini menarik kerana jarang mendengar orang menggunakan daun cili bagi mengubati penyakit. 
Dahulu saya sering terkena kayap.. orang tua kata kayap ular.. cara untuk mengatasinya.. Saya gunakan daun cili dan kapur makan..
Tumbukkan atau ramas daun lada serta campurkan sedikit kapur kemudian dan sapukan dibahagian yang terkena kayap.
Lakukan sehari 2 kali.. kayap akan pudar dan baik dalam masa beberapa hari.

THE SEVEN DANGEROUS
DON'T ACT THE 7 ACTIONS BELOW
AFTER YOU HAVE A MEAL
1*) Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher). 
2*) Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal. 
3*) Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest. 
4*) Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked. 
5*) Don't bathe - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach. 
6*) Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake. 
7*) Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

Malaysia Durian
Know Malaysian Durian.......
How to Choose a Good Durian / 6 Steps to Choosing A Good Durian
First of all, what is a good durian? For us, a good durian is one that is ripe, fresh and free from larvae/worms. However, a durian with worm doesn't mean it is not good because it can still be delicious.
So how do you know if a durian is good or fresh?Here are some steps you can try when looking for a good durian:
1. Look at the tip, if it is too dry means it is no longer fresh. A little dry is okay.
2. Look at the bottom, if it is crack it may be over-ripe or not so fresh. But it still can be delicious.
3. Smell the durian, if there is a strong smell, it is most likely good. If there is no smell, it is probably not ripe.
4. Use your fingernails to scratch the durian, if it sounds hollow it is likely to be a good one.
5. Put the durian close to your ear, shake it and listen carefully, if there is a 'moving' sound, it is likely to be good.
6. Look for holes around the durian, if there is tiny hole somewhere, there is likely to be a worm (larva of an insect) that has burrow into it.
7. Yes, there is actually a 7th step, but it's not going to be useful. If you have the chance to open the durian, open it and taste it.
Ways Of Opening A Durian
There are few ways to open the durian. Some might find opening a durian just too difficult, so I'll list other methods in case you want to try another way.
1. Use a short knife, one that is slightly bigger than the standard swiss army knife- most durian farmers use this.
2. Use a big knife, the one for chopping meat - ladies love to use this.
3. Use bare hands - works well for some over-ripe durians.
4. Use a special durian opener, which is made of wood. Not exactly sure where you can find this tool.
5. Use a chainsaw - works very well, but not encouraged.

Enoki Mushroom
Enoki Mushroom Prevents Cancer
Also known as: Velvet Shank Mushrooms 
Golden-needle-mushroom (Jin-Gen-Goo) successfully kills 95% of cancer cells (Taiwan Report) (Hokkien KIM CHIAM KOR)
Research done by Singapore U shows that eating this mushroom can destroy 95% of cancer cells in our body by boosting our immune system.
Professor Phan Hwai Chong of Yang Ming Research Centre in Taiwan told reporter that consuming this kind of mushroom, one of the ingredients in the mushroom can trigger the multiplication of our healthy 'defensive' cells. By out-numbering the cancers cells, healthy cells help eradicate cancer cells.
American scientists have since run tests on this particular type of mushroom extract with blood, done outside human body. Results show that mushroom extract is able to destroy cancer cells.
According to Taiwan professor, since healthy 'fighting' cells can be multiplied to tens & thousands of times, it can either be used as drip or just by eating mushroom.
The mushroom is most frequently taken with steam boat. Cooking time should be less than 3 minutes, or the healing property would greatly diminish.
Normal eating for Health:-
Preparation, uses, and tips
Before using enoki mushrooms, rinse them thoroughly and trim off the roots at the base of the cluster. Enoki mushrooms can be eaten raw or cooked.. Add them to salads, sandwiches, soups, pasta sauces, and stir-fried rice and vegetable dishes. To retain the delicate flavor of the mushrooms, add them at the end of the cooking process.
Buying and storing tips
When purchasing fresh enoki mushrooms, select mushrooms with firm, white, shiny caps. Avoid purchasing enoki mushrooms with slimy or brownish stalks. Enoki mushrooms keep up to 14 days in the refrigerator if stored in a paper bag.
(you should try storing veggies or fruits in those aluminum foil bags that you throw away if you do buy Milo or quaker oats in packages type; it seems they can keep them longer and fresher; test to confirm??? Keep one end open and not seal it tight.) Varieties
Most commercially available enoki mushrooms are the pale white cultivated variety.

Two moons on 27th August 2010
ONLY ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME
27th Aug the Whole World is waiting for.............
Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles off earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of - 2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye .
Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two planets are closest , Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.
Share this with your children and grandchildren.
The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.
