『Protect Our Home with L.O.V.E.,』which stands for LOHAS,Organic,Vegan,and Eco-friendly.
Amazon deforestation increased 69% due to the demand for meat during August 2007 and August 2008. The livestock sector is by far the single largest anthropogenic user of land. Deforestation is playing a major role in climate change. There are many things that people can do to reduce their carbon emissions,but changing your light bulb and many of the things are much less effective than changing your diet. Meat production and consumption,it's hugely intensive in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. Maneka Gandhi(f) Unless we change our food choices,nothing else matters,because it is meat that is destroying most of our forests,it is meat that pollutes the waters,it is meat that is creating disease which leads to all our money being diverted to hospitals. So it is the first choice for any body who wants to save the Earth. And if you eat less meat,you will be healtier,and so would the planet. There's where the climate problem is: our meat consumption!
The lifestyle to of loving the Earth are is called LOHAS. LOHAS: Lifestyle Of Health And Sustainability. But you don't have to have a farm to do organic plants. You can plant tomatoes in pots on your balcony. You can put potatoes in them. In one of the longest studies ever conducted on organic farming practices,research by the US-based Rodale Institute has found that organic soil management not only minimizes fossil fuel use,it can also reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide by removing it from the air and storing it as carbon in the soil. Scientists at the institute estimate that if organic practices such as planting cover crops,composting and crop rotation were implemented on the planet's 3.5 billion tillable acres,nearly 40 percent of current CO2 emissions could be absorbed.
Mr. Gilberto Natalini Natalina,the City Councilman of Sao Paulo City,Brazil:I believe that sustainability measures are needed and are fundamental in the world today. And we work very hard so that they are passed in our city,and country. I also believe that organic agriculture is a very important way,very healthy for the protection of human health as well as the protection of the ecosystem. And
finally,the issue of eating a diet high in vegetables,the vegetarian lifestyle,-this can also be an extremely important measure. But then we face the cultural issues of humanity,people from many countries of the world who have been consuming animal flesh for millenium millennia. There must be a process of education,a process of discussion needs to take place so that people can change
their habits.
Just one hamburger beef costs 3,000 625 gallons of clean water,or,it would cost you six months of showers. About 45 showers. A month and a half Six or two months without taking a shower,for one pound of hamburger beef alone. Imagine that! On a side note,one cow in his lifetime before slaughter,uses enough fresh water to float a large naval ship. A large naval ship. Imagine that again! Just one cow.
Currently the Director of the Research Center for Environmental Changes,Academia Sinica, Dr. Liu : you can see a the strong heavy precipitation,for each degree increase in global temperature,would increase by a factor of 1.4,or 140%,and the light one would decrease by 70%. Now,this is the IPCC's prediction for of temperature increase in this century,the 21st century,and the often mentioned C1 case is the case that the temperature would increase by a factor of 2 by the end of the 21st century. with a lot of flooding,it's going to have an increase,but where there's very little precipitation,actually,the drought is going to get worse. What we are saying is that,globally,we are seeing the same thing ? very alarming change in heavy precipitation and light precipitation. And the only way to stop these kinds of disastrous changes is to stop increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
There's only one religion, that is the religion of God, of love, of understanding. There's only one church, one temple-that is the temple of enlightenment. Come to that temple, and then we will know all the religions of the world. The essence of life is love. The essence of God, of Buddha, of Allah, is love. There is nothing else but love. When we make the choice of love, which is that's the highest
choice, the noblest choice. When a person partakes in a direct or indirect killing of any sentient beings, be it human or animals, he or she enters the cycle of revenge and violence. And it will only end when one stops doing it. Hence, we have to love our enemy, because only love and forgiveness will have the power to break the negative effect of hatred and vengeance. On both spiritual and physical levels, the greater the
number of people who change their diet and hearts, the more time we gain to curb the crisis.
According to a new study,the livestock industry is responsible for more than 50%. This is a new research,new conclusion. Because before that,the UN estimated that it's only 18% - ,one,eight. And now,the scientists have discovered that it is more than 50% of all greenhouse gas emissions comes from livestock raising,comes from the animal industry. But I am sure there is more than that; we will get more and more updates all the time. The more updates we get,the sadder,the more grim the picture that we get. This is according to a new calculation,an update since the calculation of 18% which was announced in 2006. Now,three years later,we discover that it is more than 50% by the scientists. So,if the globe changes to a vegan diet and stops the livestock industry from continuing,then 50% of greenhouse gases can start to go down and quickly. Because the majority of the livestock emissions is methane,not carbon dioxide. You are very aware of this,Dr. Liu. ,Within a 20-year period,kilo per kilo – meaning for every kilo of methane emitted,it has 72 times more of the heating capacity than from one kilo of CO2,means carbon dioxide.
The good news is that methane is a very short-lived gas. Carbon dioxide takes many decades to leave our atmosphere,but methane has a lifetime of about 12 years only. So that's why scientists,including NASA researcher Dr. Gavin Schmidt,even said that,『It may be more cost-efficient to reduce methane in the atmosphere than it is to reduce carbon dioxide.』I quoted him exactly. Therefore,it's more effective and smart for us to focus on methane first,and to do that we have to stop its number one source,the meat industry. And for that,we must change your our diet.- I leave you to calculate how much - over just a few decades if everyone be veg and plant organic. When we plant organic farming,the organic farming will also absorb another 40%,at least,of the carbon dioxide in the air already. So you see,50% less from no more animal industry,40% less carbon dioxide from organic farming, then we will be singing,our world will be saved. Right now,one-third of the entire Earth's land surface is used either for grazing animals or growing feed for the animals,not for humans. We humans use very little of this agriculture section. Is that an efficient way to use the land? In the Amazon,the world's largest rainforest,91% of the land that was deforested since 1970,is used for livestock pasture. Imagine,the lung of the Earth been being barren just for livestock pasture,91% of it. This is a devastating way to make a cheap profit at the cost of our planet's and our people's survival. We are eating our planet by consuming meat. So,without the needless animal industry,not only will we gain forests,we can also have organic vegan farmlands to grow real,decent food for humans,and like the forests,these farmlands can also absorb a lot of heat,a lot of heat from the atmosphere.
So there are three ways to raise our Noble Quality,and they are: First,never harm any living being. The one simple rule of all time,of all religions,of all the great Masters since time immemorial. Second,always do good to others in any situation. Follow our heart and intuition,and if anyone needs help at any time,we must help them. Think of the dog who doesn't hesitate one second to jump into harm's way to defend his human companion,or into a collapsed building to rescue a trapped stranger. The dogs have 30% Noble Quality,because they don't hesitate to sacrifice for others. Noble Quality means we put others before ourselves; we're ready to sacrifice anytime for a good cause. We're ready to help any time other people need us,depends on our capacity. Many other things we can do,we would do if we possess a high Noble Quality. So,anything good,anything that is noble,that means it comes
from Noble Quality or NQ. Yes. Or,we think of the water buffalo in China who pushed himself into a well and got stuck,just in time before the family's little daughter almost fell in. He had 40% Noble Quality. That's no wonder. Keep the loving veg diet. That's number three.
So now,in addition to NQ - which means Noble Quality - we have another to be endowed within us,that is LQ. LQ means Loving Quality or Godly Quality –we call it LQ for Loving Quality. Loving Quality,this is an unconditional loving quality. It's even beyond the love between husband and wife,beyond the love of the mother and child. Because this unconditional Loving Quality - meaning we have love for all beings.
Up to now,we have the three greats greatest – the whales,the seals,and the cows,which have 300% LQ. Now,the dolphins that we love to play with,110% LQ; the rabbit,110% LQ – to the tigers,20% LQ; lions,21% LQ; leopards,22% LQ. Now,the human average is 20% LQ. The highest LQ of the humans on this planet is 90% LQ,and the lowest of all of us have,only 5% LQ. Of course,the saints,the sages,they have thousands of percent LQ.
Now,the farmers in Âu Lạc – meaning Vietnam – discovered a way to reap bountiful harvests during their dry season,which lasts from November to May. They plant drought-resistant crops like green peas,peanuts,black sesame,sweet potato leaves,and creamy beans,etc. They don't need any water for this. They just plant them on dry land,or even watermelons and some other melons,etc. – no watering,no irrigating,nothing needed. The farmers explained that the leaves from the bean plants and other plants spread over the soil to keep the moisture in. The leaves also later become part of the soil and helps the soil stay rich. So,there is no need even for fertilizer as they would need for rice or corn,for example. It's nature's miracle at work,and there is a bare minimum to almost no labor required even,until it's time to harvest,and which is also very easy. They don't even need much work. They just pull the plant up. That's it.
During those times,they also eat brown rice,sesame,and they're very healthy. No problem with any of us at all. It is a problem when we eat a lot more rich food. Sometimes I feel sorry for them and I give them a little vegan butter and vegan cheese and all that,and then they get fat and the doctor says,『Oh,please,put your dogs on a diet.』 Something like that. Otherwise,even just brown rice and sesame,for me,it was enough. I had never experienced any health problems when I was on brown rice,sesame,and a water diet. It's just that,of course I'm going out a lot also,and whenever I'm out,people cook vegetarian and I just eat them. But during the brown rice,sesame period,I never experienced any discomfort of any kind.
Mr. Lin-Hsu Wen-Er,the Chief Editor of Persimmon Books and the CEO of website www.vegeplanet.com:Now,smoke addicts have to go outside the buildings to smoke. I think this is a very good outcome of the Tobacco Control Act. So,is it possible that we also pass a legislation on meat products like the Tobacco Control Act,so that meat shoppers at least see some warning labels on the meat products?Something like,『Animal protein is harmful to your health. 』『Meat eating increases the carbon emission that
contributes to global warming.』Through legislation,we can make a meat eater see the label that reminds him that the steak or shrimp in front of him is costing a big price that we all have to pay.
Anything to do with animal products we should,as you said ,put a warning label on them. This is because these products bring many of the same health problems and involves the same animal cruelty,and they are destroying our home. The egg industry,for example,routinely disposes of male chicks at a very young age by throwing them into a grinder gosh,where they are crushed into so-called meat while they are still alive. Oh God. How can we ever do this ? How can we ever do this? Imagine if it were our own
defenseless children who were treated thus? Imagine if it 's ourselves who were thrown into a grinder and made to suffer while still alive?

Last week I had the opportunity to attend an opening party at Joey Don Mills grill and lounge. Joey is a restaurant from the west coast and now they have a location at the Shops at Don Mills here in Toronto. The menu at Joey Don Mills certainly caught my attention with items such as the ahi tuna tacos, lobster grilled cheese sandwich, butter chicken and penang prawn curry. Chef Chris Mills who appeared on the Japanese version of the Iron Chef created the culturally diverse menu. While at the party I got to sample several of the dishes and they were all good! The two that stood out were the penang prawn curry and lobster grilled cheese sandwich. I have made penang prawn curry before and it is certainly among my favorite dishes! Trying the curry at Joey simply wet my appetite and I whipped up a batch this weekend including making my own penang curry paste from scratch.
If you are interested, I took some photos at the event and posted them to a gallery on flicker: Joey Don Mills Opening Gallery Some interesting thing that they had includes an ice bar for the stella and an enomatic wine dispenser so that every glass of wine is perfectly fresh.
Of course the lobster grilled cheese sandwich was pure decadence! With its perfectly crisp and golden brown crust and its warm an gooey, melted cheesy, lobster filled center… I just had to try making it at home and luckily Chef Chris Mills provided us with the recipe. The recipe for the filling reminds me of a lobster salad and it contains brie for a second cheese and one that will melt really well. How can you go wrong with lobster, mayo, and melted cheesy goodness? This grilled cheese sandwich was so stuffed with cheesy filling that it came out while I was grilling it and the cheese that came out fried, caramelized and stuck to the edges of the bread. (That melted cheese that oozes out and fries and sticks to the edges of the bread is always my favorite part of grilled cheese sandwiches!) The lobster grilled cheese sandwich was so good! If only lobster wasn't so expensive I could make these more often. A crab version should also be good.
Lobster Grilled Cheese Sandwich
- 1 pound lobster (cooked, shelled and diced)
- 1/4 pound brie (diced)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon tarragon (chopped)
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 1 clove garlic (chopped)
- 1/2 lemon (juice)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices bread
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- salted butter (room temperature)
- Mix the lobster, brie, mayo, tarragon, green onions, grainy mustard, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread and assemble sandwiches with the buttered sides of the bread facing out and fill with a slice of cheese and a quarter of the lobster mixture.
- Grill until the bread is golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted on the inside.

Groton - From his post at the top of the submarine's sail, Lt. Andrew Pyle looked out Wednesday at the buoys that mark the entrance to New London Harbor. He saw New London Ledge Light to his right.
Sailboats darted in front of the submarine, and Pyle had to react. It began to snow, and the sea grew rougher.
But Pyle was not in a submarine returning to the Naval Submarine Base. He was in a building at the Naval Submarine School.
The school now has a full-size replica of a submarine bridge so officers can train to stand at the top of the sail and navigate during the transit in and out of ports.
The trainer can simulate U.S. ports and foreign ports where submarines are likely to stop during a deployment. If the submarine was supposed to be in the Gulf, Pyle would have seen traditional sailing vessels, or dhows.
A prototype is at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, R.I. This is the first in the fleet; a ribbon-cutting will be held Friday.
On Wednesday, students in the Submarine Officer Advanced Course practiced pulling into Groton.
The trainer is inside a dome where fans mimic the wind and 16 projectors produce a 360-degree image of the world's harbors and oceans. The students use binoculars to zoom in on the image.
The trainer doesn't move, but the rolling waves are so realistic that even experienced submariners sometimes feel a little queasy.
Pyle said he's not prone to seasickness, but he holds onto the railings even though he knows there's no need to. He's getting ready for his next assignment on the blue crew of the USS Wyoming. After more than two years at an assignment on shore in Naples, Italy, Pyle said he needed to hone his skills.
"Being able to do this over and over boosts my confidence about going back to sea and stepping into a position where I'll have more responsibility," he said.
In another room that was set up like the control room of a submarine, the rest of the students gathered data, looked at charts and performed the jobs that any piloting team would be doing in a control room when pulling into port.
Lt. Cmdr. Angel Rodriguez, the course director, said the instructors do try to surprise the students with unexpected problems to see how they react. There could be a man overboard or malfunctioning navigation equipment.
"It's not a gloom-and-doom scenario, but close to it," he said. "We want to build their confidence that they don't need computers. They can look at raw data to safely navigate the ship. We prove that by taking away a lot of their equipment."
Most of the time, submariners are submerged, so there aren't a lot of opportunities to handle the ship on the surface, Rodriguez said. And, he said, the "seas are getting more congested, so it's more incumbent on us to make sure we're proficient on the surface."
Students used to train by looking at the ocean through a headset. Now, they can manipulate the equipment and an entire team can work together on the bridge, Rodriguez said. When they graduate in March, these students will become navigators, weapons officers and engineers on submarines.
Lt. Will Villarreal, a student, said the training is the best he has ever had. He said "submarining is a perishable skill" and the school is where "the growing pains happen."
"It is stressful," Villarreal said. "But we learn how to function under that stress because, quite literally, we're going to be in the same boat as everyone we're supposed to be keeping safe."
The USS Hartford collided with a Navy amphibious ship in the Strait of Hormuz in 2009, and the Navy paid about $120 million to repair the Los Angeles-class submarine.
The Navy bought the equipment for the school's trainer while the state, through the unique partnership it has with the Navy to upgrade the base, paid for the addition to Nimitz Hall to house the trainer. The state legislature authorized $40 million in 2007 to strengthen the base's military value in order to guarantee its future.
Before the ribbon-cutting, there will be a brief ceremony to transfer money from the state to Groton and Ledyard. The towns will buy land around the base to prevent development from encroaching on base operations.

NEW YORK (AP) — Burger King wants people to feel less guilty about gobbling up its french fries.
The world's No. 2 hamburger chain is launching a new crinkle-cut french fry on Tuesday that it says has about 20 percent fewer calories than its regular fries.
The chain says a small order of the new "Satisfries" clocks in at 270 calories because of a new batter that doesn't absorb as much oil. By comparison, a small order of its regular fries, sans crinkles, has 340 calories.
The concept of taking an indulgent food and removing some of the guilt isn't new, of course. Supermarkets are filled with baked Lay's potato chips, 100-calorie packs of Oreos and other less fattening versions of popular treats. Such creations play on people's inability to give up their food vices, even as they struggle to eat better. The idea is to create something that skimps on calories, but not on taste.
Burger King executives say people won't be able to tell that Satisfries are lower in calories. It says they use exactly the same ingredients as its regular fries — potatoes, oil and batter. To keep kitchen operations simple, they're even made in the same fryers and cooked for the same amount of time as regular fries.
The difference, Burger King says, is that it adjusts the proportions of different ingredients for the batter to block out more oil. The company declined to be more specific. Another difference, the crinkle-cut shape, is in part so workers will be able to easily distinguish them from the regular fries when they're deep frying them together.
"You need to make things as simple as possible," says Eric Hirschhorn, Burger King's chief marketing officer.
As per capita consumption of french fries has declined over the years, frozen potato suppliers have been working on ways to reduce fat and calories in french fries, said Maureen Storey, president and CEO of the Alliance for Potato Research & Education, an industry group.
"It's actually not an easy thing to do to because consumers want the same taste and the same texture," she said.
Alex Macedo, head of North American operations at Burger King, said the chain worked with one of its potato suppliers, McCain Foods, to develop the lower-calorie fries. He said McCain can't sell the fries to other fast-food clients and that different suppliers might have a tough time imitating them.
Burger King took great pains to keep the launch of Satisfries under wraps. Last week, reporters were invited to preview a "top secret new product" at a New York City hotel, where they were asked to sign non-disclosure agreements. Attendees were each served a carton of the fries that look and taste like any other fries, even leaving the familiar grease stains in their paper cartons.
Burger King led off its presentation by comparing the fries to the "leading french fries," which are made by rival McDonald's, the world's largest burger chain. On a pound-for-pound basis, executives noted that the new fries have 30 percent fewer calories than those served at the Golden Arches.
The comparison to McDonald's may prove to be confusing for some, since fast-food chains each have their own definitions of what qualifies as a small, medium or large.
A small serving at McDonald's, for example, weighs considerably less than a small order at Burger King. As a result, a small order of McDonald's fries has 230 calories — which is still less than the 270 calories for a small serving of Burger King's Satisfries. A "value" order of Satisfries at Burger King — which is closer in weight to the small size at McDonald's — has 190 calories.
Satisfries is the latest gambit by Burger King Worldwide Inc. to revive its image after a series of ownership changes in recent years. 3G Capital, the Brazilian private investment firm that bought the chain and took it private in 2010, kicked off a campaign last spring with a revamped menu and star-studded ad campaign.
The moves came just before 3G announced a deal to take Burger King public again. The deal was structured in a way that let 3G more than recoup the $3.26 billion it paid for the chain, while still maintaining a majority stake. Burger King's stock price is up 37 percent over the past year and trading close to $20 per share.
The company has continued to press ahead with new menu items in hopes of pushing up soft sales, but the efforts haven't yet yielded results. For its second quarter, sales at restaurants open at least a year slipped 0.5 percent in the U.S. and Canada, where it has about 7,200 locations. The metric is a key gauge of health because it strips out the volatility of newly opened and closed locations.
Still, Burger King is betting Satisfries will be so popular that people will even be willing to fork over more money for them. The suggested price for a small order of Satisfries is $1.89, compared with $1.59 for regular fries. That's a 19 percent markup.

Gawathi Gulaab Plant – Rose Desi
This rose is specially used for gulkand and gulab jal. This is only variety which is used for these purpose.
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from South east Asia) are evergreen or nearly so. The hybrid garden rose "Amber Flush"
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The outer petals are referred to as guard petals when used in bouquet arrangements and are best removed. Guard petals are thicker, more rugged outer petals that protect delicate inner-petals from insects, elements and dehydration and will often begin to wither before the rest of the flower.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the dog rose (Rosa canina) and rugosa rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds. Rose thorns are actually prickles – outgrowths of the epidermis.
While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are technically prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). (True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself.) Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.
Roses are best known as ornamental plants grown for their flowers in the garden and sometimes indoors. They have been also used for commercial perfumery and commercial cut flower crops. Some are used as landscape plants, for hedging and for other utilitarian purposes such as game cover and slope stabilization. They also have minor medicinal uses.
Ornamental plants
The majority of ornamental roses are hybrids that were bred for their flowers. A few, mostly species roses are grown for attractive or scented foliage (such as Rosa glauca and Rosa rubiginosa), ornamental thorns (such as Rosa sericea) or for their showy fruit (such as Rosa moyesii).
Ornamental roses have been cultivated for millennia, with the earliest known cultivation known to date from at least 500 BC in Mediterranean countries, Persia, and China. Many thousands of rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use as flowering plants. Most are double-flowered with many or all of the stamens having mutated into additional petals.
In the early 19th century the Empress Josephine of France patronized the development of rose breeding at her gardens at Malmaison. As long ago as 1840 a collection numbering over one thousand different cultivars, varieties and species was possible when a rosarium was planted by Loddiges nursery for Abney Park Cemetery, an early Victorian garden cemetery and arboretum in England.
Cut flowers
Roses are a popular crop for both domestic and commercial cut flowers. Generally they are harvested and cut when in bud, and held in refrigerated conditions until ready for display at their point of sale.
In temperate climates, cut roses are often grown in glasshouses, and in warmer countries they may also be grown under cover in order to ensure that the flowers are not damaged by weather and that pest and disease control can be carried out effectively. Significant quantities are grown in some tropical countries, and these are shipped by air to markets across the world.
Rose perfumes are made from attar of roses or rose oil, which is a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by steam distilling the crushed petals of roses. An associated product is rose water which is used for cooking, cosmetics, medicine and in religious practices. The production technique originated in Persia then spread through Arabia and India, and more recently into eastern Europe. In Bulgaria, Iran and Germany, damask roses (Rosa × damascena 'Trigintipetala') are used. In other parts of the world Rosa × centifolia is commonly used. The oil is transparent pale yellow or yellow-grey in colour. 'Rose Absolute' is solvent-extracted with hexane and produces a darker oil, dark yellow to orange in colour. The weight of oil extracted is about one three-thousandth to one six-thousandth of the weight of the flowers; for example, about two thousand flowers are required to produce one gram of oil.
Rose hips are occasionally made into jam, jelly, marmalade, and soup or are brewed for tea, primarily for their high vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce Rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products and some makeup products.[citation needed]
The rose hip, usually from R. canina is used as a minor source of Vitamin C. The fruits of many species have significant levels of vitamins and have been used as a food supplement. Many roses have been used in herbal and folk medicines. Rosa chinensis has long been used in Chinese traditional medicine. This and other species have been used for stomach problems, and are being investigated for controlling cancer growth.

A fuel leak Tuesday on a Tokyo-bound Japan Airlines flight forced the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft to cancel takeoff and return to the gate at Boston's Logan International Airport. It was the second incident involving a Dreamliner in two days.
Here's how Logan airport described the incident on its Facebook page:
"Massport crews are on the airfield containing a fuel leak from an outbound Japan Airlines flight to Tokyo. The venting of fuel has stopped. The flight will return to the gate and be evaluated further at that time."
The flight later took off en route to Tokyo. Reuters reported that the National Transportation Safety Board won't investigate the fuel leak because there was no accident.
Tuesday's incident follows a small fire on a parked Japan Airlines Dreamliner on Monday. No passengers or crew were onboard at the time. The NTSB said one investigator was already on the scene to investigate the fire and two others were on their way to Boston.
Here's more from the NTSB about Monday's incident:
"The NTSB investigator on scene found that the auxiliary power unit battery had severe fire damage. Thermal damage to the surrounding structure and components is confined to the area immediately near the APU battery rack (within about 20 inches) in the aft electronics bay."
NPR's Tovia Smith reported on Monday's fire for our Newscast Unit. She notes that the Dreamliner has had several other "electrical problems, as well as an engine failure and fuel leaks the Dreamliners have suffered since the new jet model came into service just over a year ago."
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that United Airlines found improperly installed wiring on one of its Boeing 787s during an inspection after Monday's incident at Logan.
On Dec. 5, 2012, the Federal Aviation Administration issued an airworthiness directive for the Dreamliner. Here's what the directive said:
"We have received reports of fuel leaks on two different in-service airplanes, and the subsequent discovery of several improperly assembled engine fuel feed manifold couplings on in-service and production airplanes. The improper coupling installations, which occurred during production, have included couplings with missing or improperly installed lockwire, parts within the couplings installed in the wrong locations, incorrect parts installed in the couplings, and couplings that have extra parts installed. These conditions, if not corrected, could result in fuel leaks, which could lead to fuel exhaustion, engine power loss or shutdown, or leaks on hot engine parts that could lead to a fire."
The aircraft has had a bumpy ride even before it was airborne, as noted in an NPR story by Wendy Kaufman. She noted that the 787 has "produced a lot of headaches from the outset." And we also reported on the 787's first commercial flight on October 2011. But as we noted at the time, the reviews for the plane were glowing.

"Famous Sky Fighters, March 1937″ by Terry Gilkison
STARTING in the October 1933 issue of Sky Fighters and running almost 5 years, Terry Gilkison's "Famous Sky Fighters†was a staple of the magazine. Each month Gilkison would illustrate in a two page spread different Aces that rose to fame during the Great War.
Although Gilkison was probably better known for his syndicated newspaper work, he also provided black and white story interior illustrations for pulp magazines. His work appeared in Clues, Thrilling Adventures, Texas Rangers, Thrilling Mystery, Thrilling Western, and Popular Western. Gilkison provided similar features in a few other Thrilling Publications—there was "Famous Soldiers of Fortune" and later "Adventure Thrills" in Thrilling Adventures, Famous Crimes" in Thrilling Detective, and the fully illustrated air adventure stories of Buck Barton "The Flying Devil" in The Lone Eagle! He signed most of this work with only his initials "T.G." to maintain a low profile and preserve his reputation as a syndicated newspaper cartoon artist.
The March 1937 installment, from the pages of Sky Fighters, features James Norman Hall, Edwin E. Aldrin, Raymond Collishaw and Sidor Malloc Singh!
Next time in "Famous Sky Fighters", Terry Gilkison features General Benjamin D. Foulois, Lieutenant Francesco De Pinedo, and Major Reed G. Landis! Don't miss it!

Bike Safety for Big Kids
Bike Safety for Big Kids
If they haven't already, your children are just about to lose those training wheels. Here are a few tips to keep them safe as they soak up the adventure.
Top Safety Tips
- We have a simple saying: "Use your head, wear a helmet." It is the single most effective safety device available to reduce head injury and death from bicycle crashes.
- Make sure your child has the right size helmet and wears it every time when riding, skating or scooting. Here are instructions on how to properly fit your child's helmet.
- You'd be surprised how much kids learn from watching you, so it's extra important for parents to model proper behavior. Wear a helmet, even if you didn't when you were a kid.
- Your children's helmet should meet the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's standards. When it's time to purchase a new helmet, let your children pick out their own; they'll be more likely to wear it for every ride.
- Ensure proper bike fit by bringing the child along when shopping for a bike. Select one that is the right size for the child, not one he or she will grow into.
- Actively supervise children until you're comfortable that they are responsible to ride on their own.
- Every child is different, but developmentally, it can be hard for kids to judge speed and distance of cars until age 10, so limit riding to sidewalks (although be careful for vehicles in driveways), parks or bike paths until age 10. No matter where you ride, teach your child to stay alert and watch for cars and trucks.
- Long or loose clothing can get caught in bike chains or wheel spokes. Dress young kids appropriately to ensure a safe ride.
- Before the ride, make sure the reflectors are secure, brakes work properly, gears shift smoothly, and tires are tightly secured and properly inflated.
- Teach your kids to make eye contact with drivers. Bikers should make sure drivers are paying attention and are going to stop before they cross the street.
- Tell your kids to ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, not against it. Stay as far to the right as possible. Use appropriate hand signals and respect traffic signals, stopping at all stop signs and stoplights.
- When riding at dusk, at dawn or in the evening, be bright and use lights – and make sure your bike has reflectors as well. It's also smart to wear clothes and accessories that have retro-reflective materials to improve biker visibility to motorists.
