Know Your Liquor (useful knowledge)

Just for your information.........

Drinker's Favourite Drink ????

 

VODKA

Good to know:  Vodka is least likely to give you a hangover Vodka is made by fermenting grains or crops such as potatoes with yeast. It's then purified and repeatedly filtered, often through charcoal, strange as it sounds, until it's as clear as possible. 
CALORIES:  Because vodka contains no carbohydrates or sugars, it contains only calories from ethanol (around 7 calories per gram), making it the least-fattening alcoholic beverage. So a 35ml shot of vodka would contain about 72 calories. 
PROS:  Vodka is the 'cleanest' alcoholic beverage because it contains hardly any 'congeners' - impurities normally formed during fermentation. These play a big part in how bad your hangover is. 
Despite its high alcohol content - around 40 per cent - vodka is the least likely alcoholic drink to leave you with a hangover, said a study by the British Medical Association 
CONS:  Vodka is often a factor in binge drinking deaths because it is relatively tasteless when mixed with fruit juices or other drinks. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 3/10

WHISKY 

Good to know:   Whisky or Scotch is distilled from fermented grains, such as barley or wheat, then aged in wooded casks.

Whisky 'madness': It triggers erratic and unpredictable behaviour because most people drink whisky neat CALORIES: About 80 calories per 35ml shot.  

PROS:  Single malt whiskies have been found to contain high levels of ellagic acid, according to Dr Jim Swan of the Royal Society of Chemists. This powerful acid inhibits the growth of tumours caused by certain carcinogens and kills cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. 

CONS:  Whisky 'madness' - erratic and unpredictable behaviour - is a common problem with drinking whisky. It's caused by the way most people drink it - neat, explains Professor Jones.  

His experiments show that among people drinking the same amount of ethanol, those drinking it in the form of spirits, such as whisky, had the quickest and highest peak in the blood alcohol concentration, which occurred less than an hour after drinking began. 

'If you drink any alcohol on an empty stomach, it can compare with getting it intravenously' 

Professor Wayne Jones 

'To slow absorption down, you could take it very much diluted or along with a rich, calorie-dense ingredient such as cream, as in Baileys or Irish coffee.'

Whisky also contains lots of congeners, which tend to form during the ageing process in oak casks.

 A study by the BMA found that as a result, Bourbon Whiskey is twice as likely to cause a hangover as the same amount of vodka. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 8/10

 

 

WHITE WINE

Good to know:  White wine is made from the fermented juice of grapes stripped of their seeds and skins. 

CALORIES:  Around 130 calories per 175 ml glass; slightly more in sweeter wines.  

PROS:  American researchers found that grape flesh contains the chemicals tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol, which help lower arteryclogging LDL cholesterol.

 

CONS:  It's the sulphites formed naturally or added to white wine as preservatives to stop it going brown which are the most likely cause of the 'white wine hangover' many people complain of. 
Sulphites also carry the risk of an allergic reaction  which can worsen symptoms such as a  headache, or asthma . White wines also wear away tooth enamel faster, making teeth more sensitive. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 6/10 

RED WINE

Good to know:  Red wine is made from fermented grape juice - but unlike white wine, with the skin and pips included. It's then left to mature for a minimum of three years, during which pigments from the skins leech out and colour the wine red. 
CALORIES:  Around 120 calories in a standard glass - it's slightly lower in sugar content than white wine. 
PROS:  Contains more reservatrol - a plant anti- oxidant - than white wine. This helps to prevent blood clots and reduce inflammation, which is now considered to play a key role in heart disease. Also, the pips and skins used in red wines contain tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol, chemicals which help lower artery-clogging LDL cholesterol.
CONS:  Red wine drinkers can get worse hangovers than beer or white wine drinkers. Because of the way it's made, red wine produces two types of alcohol - ethanol and methanol. The liver processes the ethanol part of the drink first and leaves methanol until last. 'As a result, it's likely to be floating around in the body for a lot longer than ethanol, giving you that familiar "morning after" feeling,' says Professor Jones. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 7/10

Colour code:  Red wine can cause a worse hangover than white wine because it contains methanol, a second type of alcohol that lingers in your body the next day ...

BEER

Good to know:  Slow mover: Low in alcohol, beer is the least dangerous to drink 
Beer is made by fermenting barley. Hops are added for flavour and yeast to make the grains ferment into sugar and alcohol. 
CALORIES:  It's the most calorierich alcoholic beverage - just one pint contains between 170 and 200 calories, about the same as seven chocolate fingers biscuits.

PROS:  Beer is the least dangerous to drink and makes you feel you drunk the slowest. 
It has the lowest alcohol content - between 3 and 6 per cent for lager, and up to 8 per cent for ale and stout. 
A pint also contains more than a quarter of an adult's recommended dose of Vitamin B folate, which stops the build-up of homocysteinea chemical linked to heart attacks.  
CONS:  Beer is high in compounds called purines, which boost the levels of uric acid in the blood, according to a study at Massachusetts 
General Hospital. 
This can form crystals in joints, leading to painful attacks of gout. 
The 12-year study found that drinking more than two beers a day doubled the risk. 
Meanwhile, research published in the International Journal of Cancer showed that one pint a day adds a 10 per cent risk of bowel cancer, while two pints a day increases the risk by 25 per cent. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 4/10 

BRANDY

Good to know:  Brandy is a spirit distilled from red wine. Fine brandies are aged for extra flavour in wooden casks.

Hangover hell? Brandy contains high amounts of impurities 

CALORIES:  Around 80 in every 35ml shot.  

PROS:  Because brandy is a distillation of red wine, it contains a high concentration of antioxidants which mop-up 'free radicals' which, it's claimed, can damage the body organs and tissues and lead to deadly diseases. 

Australian scientists discovered that the antioxidants created during the distilling process mean that 30ml of good brandy would give the equivalent antioxidant hit of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C. 

CONS:  It could give you the worst headache of all, according to research at London  < http://explore.dailymail.co.uk/locations/cities/london >  's National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. This was closely followed by red wine, then rum, whisky and gin. Not only does brandy contain at least 40 per cent alcohol, the high quality cask-aged variety is likely to have the highest amounts of congeners, which are formed during the lengthy storage and fermentation process. 

Professor Jones says: 'Brandy contains literally hundreds of different volatile compounds, which gives it the distinctive pleasant smell but also contributes to the hangover.'

HANGOVER SEVERITY: 9/10

CHAMPAGNE

Good to know:  Fast acting: Champagne 
Champagne and sparkling wine are made in roughly the same way as wine - but then more yeast is added and it's left to ferment in the bottle a second time, producing carbon dioxide. 
CALORIES:  An average 175 ml glass of Champagne contains 133 calories, slightly more than a glass of white wine because syrup is added to improve taste. 
PROS:  The antioxidants in Champagne may help protect your brain against damage incurred during a stroke and against neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, according to a team of researchers from the University of Reading . They found that high levels antioxidants, called caffeic acid and tyrosol, helped protect brain cells from damage.

CONS:  The bubbles speed up the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. And contrary to popular belief, Champagne won't lift your spirits - alcohol affects brain receptors in the same way, whatever its source. 
'Alcohol basically works in the same way in the brain receptors as Valium,' says Professor Jones. 'It depresses brain activity and relieves anxiety. You might think you're in a good mood, but it's more likely the result of alcohol causing "disinhibition", making you more talkative and exhibitionist.'

Unusual Frog

 This frog was found in India in 2003. This type of creature has never been discovered on any continent until 2003. This frog lives in southern India within a 14 km² radius. Scientists are lost: some believe that this creature is a mutant; others believe that it dates back to the dinosaur era...

5 Most Famous Robots of the World

 You will be able to program a robot to follow a track on the ground and manipulate a hand. You can also write little programs that will give the robots goals.

Seriously, the best thing about machines or ‘a’ machine that is, would be if they could perform just about any task on their own, I mean where you don’t even have to press a button. They would walk on their own, talk on their own and what not. Such machines have been created time and time again and of course are called robots. But amongst such robotic machines, there have been such ‘robot celebrities’ which are known and are famous (to date) for their characters, and their names are their identity.

Here are 5 of the most famous robots of all times…

Robocop

Robocop

Its name tells all. Robocop is one of the most famous robots of all times. It was introduced to the world in the year 1987. Its idea had first occurred to Paul Verhoeven who made sure the concept in his mind was clear to its constructor. This robot was meant to be really tough and mean. Robocop was everything you can expect from a normal robot. Because it consisted of oil coolers, radiators and heat exchangers, everything you will find on that robot only that you should know where to look. But what made it the most famous in the world was its unique attributes! Its core arms are three 20mm cannons, two on the left limb and one on the right upper limb. The left arm contains two peripheral high-capacity missiles magazines and the right arm which snapped into place when the guns are armed. It also used its gun shell to position down and shift upward again to uppercut its foes as it did. But that was not all about it. It also consisted of a three-round rocket launcher on its right arm and twin launchers for mortar rounds and gas grenades behind its head. Its body was real steel! Thus, this one of a kind, stylish and most elegant master piece was loaded with handy weapons from assault cannon, rocket launcher and a jet pack.

Terminator

Terminator

Now here is what you call, the star of all robots, ‘the Terminator’. Like its name, at its launch, it simply finished off all other robots or robotic concepts for a long long time. The terminator is a self-directed robot, characteristically humanoid. It was basically formulated as a practically resilient combatant and assassin, as well as an undercover agent. Its design was such that it could converse in nature; duplicate others’ voices, interpret scripts, and even genuinely sweat, smell, and bleed. For Terminator detections, dogs were used to alert humans of their presence. A Terminator can bear up average 20th century firearms, smash through walls unharmed, and endure blasts to some degree. There is just constant shotgun firing can knock it down and momentarily immobilize it.

Robot Andrew

Robot-Andrew

More famous as the ‘Bicentennial Man’, Andrew was a humanoid military robot. It was not any soldier, or an armed or a fully equipped robot. It was just a robot, but like a human, with human feelings. Perhaps that is why it was most popular among every age group. It was built with a vision, that a robot may not harm a human. It was meant to obey human beings, whatever order they may give. But it was also to protect itself. This protection of itself and not even harming the humans was the conflicting element. That is how Andrew, being a humanoid robot requested a robotic surgeon to get upgraded. Getting itself upgraded meant getting into a perfect shape, getting extra gadgets, accessories and the positron brain altered. Its stress was to get protective clothing under pragmatic surroundings. It got itself a very nicely finished plastic and metals’ body. Built into the head were electronic servos for the eye lids and eye brows to be able to move for expressions. Andrew, with his new body, studied robotic-biology – the science of organic robots. Thus, Andrew gets a system permitting androids to eat food like humans – solely for the purpose of becoming more like a person.

Robot B9

Robot-B9

The B-9 robot was recognized and addressed simply as a “Robot”. It was a machine endowing with prodigious power and advanced armaments. Although it too displayed human-like characteristics, such as laughter, sadness, and mockery even singing and playing the guitar. Robot B-9 was physically a glass bubble feeler component with a stirring receiver. It had a fluted, semi-transparent circular collar, with a display of shaped ribs. It had a cylindrical, revolving chest division with expanding arms that completed in scarlet reflex claws. B-9 possessed such powerful computers that enabled it to make intricate calculation and construe many facts. It had a range of sensors that perceived various occurrences and threats. It was highly programmed with wide-ranging awareness and information on countless subjects’ matter, together with how to activate a spaceship. Its structure allowed it to function in tremendous atmospheres and in the vacuity of space. It was exceptionally tough, to perform complex labor and in combating when required. Additionally, its arms contained fiery laser beams and a powerful “electro-force” that was similar to arcing voltage.

Marvin the Paranoid Android

Marvin-Paranoid-Android

This one is one of my favorites, and definitely the most interesting one. Marvin, the robot claimed to be 50,000 times more intellectual and intelligent than a human. Why?! Because it had a “brain of the size of a planet” which it seldom had to use or ever given a chance to use. One can define Marvin as a robot; as a perfunctory apparatus designed to do the work of a man. Scientific personalities call it as ‘Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With.’ Although, there is one resilient rule which states that a depressed Marvin could never be destroyed. The only thing that could ever shut him up was probably the steel jaws of a crusher machine coming together on its shiny metal head. Marvin’s main goals in life were to stay depressed and, more importantly, to make everyone around know it, and no doubt to make them depressed too. The effect was a laugh uprising, of course! He was too funny to be in his persistent mood of moaning and groaning and talking to mattresses while walking around them. Marvin was basically a comic relief. Marvin was a slave, a lapdog, a master piece to be fluent in over six million forms of communication and yet convey depression in all of themJ.

West Indies Day Parade

 This is an example of a people who are in tune with communal celebration of life. A life of struggle and oppression leading to depression with nothing left but god's blessing to be alive and to share their gift of colors, sounds and beauty giving to them by the high creator. A joy that only comes from the intangible spirit radiating through a tangible construct. this is a shining example of a people that truly are gods people. Making something literally out of nothing. they can smile and share their love and peace, while knowing that no improvement of their condition will come from their gift to society. I love my peoples.

On the other hand they are some freaky ladies knowing they are contributing to the exploitation of women as sexual objects and I just adore these fine ladies for this. Black women are so radiant.

How To Seal A Bag And Make It Air-Tight

Very good idea for picnics!!! 

       The guy who first thought of the idea must be given an award for  originality!!!
Wow, what a fantastic idea!  Do not  have to grapple with rubber bands that are tied too tightly.
  How to seal  a bag and make it air-tight! 

Cut up a  disposable water bottle and keep the neck and  top, as in  photo.


Insert the plastic bag through  the neck and screw the top – to seal.

The bottle is made to be  air-tight, such that water will not leak, the secret lies with the top  and screw!

This is a great idea to share. Good for us and the environment too.
