Table of Contents Introduction God Helps Those... Self-Deception and Reality Bites Blame Game as a Defensive Measure You Are to Blame Fatalistic Attitudes Inflated Egos Consequences of the Blame Game Getting Rid of the Blaming Mindset Take Charge of Your Own Life Be Responsible Be Decisive Be Mature Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Have you noticed that many of us have a tendency to take the credit for all our successes and achievements, but the moment anybody refers to any of our failures, our immediate reaction is, "Oh, I would have achieved that, too and added to my successes, but you see, circumstances prevented me from reaching that particular goal." And then all the blame is shifted for our failures, shortcomings and problems to other factors. These include our parents, children, friends, foes, upbringing, environment, financial status, health, heredity, destiny, the planets, God, and even the lines on our palms and foreheads. And all these factors give us the excuse to garner the sympathy of everybody else because we have not managed to achieve what we wanted to do. With all these factors working against us, it is a wonder how we managed to achieve that little bit, which is so laudable under the circumstances, is not it! This list of factors and excuses is endless. Let me tell you a really amusing tale about the stars and superstition.

Feared by animals on land, sea, and even in the skies, eagles have developed a reputation for being one of the most lethal - and sometimes downright vicious - of wildlife species. When most people think of eagles, they probably think of large fierce-looking birds with sharp elongated claws tearing apart some poor unfortunate rodent - and, unlike other wild animal stereotypes - it's actually pretty accurate. Eagles roam the skies high above most everything else and use their excellent vision to spot unassuming prey on the ground (or maybe in water - some species like to go fishing too). Speaking of species, there are roughly sixty recognized eagle species (collectively known as the Accipitridae family) world-wide and they can be found on all the continents except Antarctica. The vast majority of them come from Europe, Asia, and Africa - but their worldwide presence has landed them on the coat of arms of many countries across the globe including Mexico in Central America, Egypt in Africa, and Germany, Poland, and Austria in Europe. Throughout the rest of this book, we'll learn all kinds of interesting facts about some of the more popular eagle species and we'll explore their habitats, diets, lifestyle, mating, and more.

Pressure points for improving Eyesight Conclusion Author Bio Introduction Being very interested in alternative medicine forms like Ayurveda and being taught yoga as a part of our Academic curriculum, in our student days, I soon began to understand why the ancients in the East considered yoga to be an integral part of their lives. This book is going to introduce you to some of the more common ancient natural healing traditions practiced in the Indian subcontinent since ancient times. I was talking to an American audience about alternative Indian medicine, when I spoke about Ayurveda and yoga. A friend immediately said, "But that is religious, and is based on Hindu practices." I would like to clear up this point once and for all. These practices are definitely not based to people belonging to one religion. Besides, the people who wrote these exercises and rules for right and proper living, and practiced them millenniums ago were Aryans and they gave this knowledge in their religious and spiritual books to the people of India who were practicing Hinduism. Practicing Hinduism? What do I mean by that? Consider Hinduism at that time to be a way of life, practicing nonviolence and following the wise teachings of the ancient ones. It is now a full-fledged religion, incorporating those same beliefs, traditions, and way of life in their manner of living and being. The ancient knowledge of those wise ones are now being practiced, as set down in the Vedas and the Puranas. I am definitely not a Hindu, but since childhood, I and my Hindu, Christian, Mussalman, Buddhist, Sikh and Jain Friends did all these yogic exercises every morning, during school assembly, and we never believed them to be part of a religious tradition belonging exclusively to the Hindus. Our teachers were sensible enough not to let even an inkling of this controversial idea blossom in our infantile, suspicious and susceptible minds, because that would mean that 17% of the students would immediately have their parents yelling "keep religion out of academics. This is unacceptable. " This is an extremely touchy subject in the East. And because we considered these exercises to be part of PT, 15 minutes of this healthy workout kept us healthy and happy throughout our childhoods and youth. We never knew that they were yogic exercises! According to us, we were keeping healthy, in a natural manner. We definitely did not chant Hindu hymns while doing these exercises. That in itself would be anathema Maranatha to anybody not a Hindu, including I. So the idea that this universal healing tradition is limited to just one peoples, is definitely wrong, and it has been started by some lazy minded people, who would rather find excuses not to do a thing rather than work out. So here am I -not a Hindu!- telling all my friends all over the globe how they can keep healthy, through different natural remedy practices, which have been in vogue for centuries in the Indian subcontinent. These practices are going to include oil pulling, which is getting to be extremely popular in the West today, and also water therapy. All this information was taken by me from an experienced Ayurvedic doctor, so that all the information that is being given to you has been time tested and has been recommended by him. But before that, you would want to know a little bit more about the terms, which I am going to be using in this book.

Grandma's Natural Remedies and Ancient Herbal Recipes - Volume 4 Table of Contents Introduction What is The Importance Of fruit, vegetables, herbs And spices? Spices in Your Daily Diet Grandma - Cook and Medicine Woman Garam Masala Recipe Massaman Masala Grandma's Herbal Tips Controlling High Blood Pressure Why Grandma Did Not Fuss Curing Cuts, Bruises And Wounds Depression Nervous problems/Irritability Obesity Cure Curry leaves Lemon Juice Regime Losing weight Through Exercise? How Boring! Conclusion Author Bio Introduction In this fourth volume of grandma's ancient natural remedies and herbal recipes, you are going to get a collection of recipes, in which grandmother used fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices to cure her family and also the neighbors around her. These remedies were given to her down the ages from our grandmother, and so on. Many of these remedies have been lost in the mists of time, but there were still some people in ancient times who wrote these remedies down in books. In 800 BC, Homer praised the knowledge of ancient Egyptians, who were extremely skilled in noninvasive surgery, and treatment of ailments. Ancient well-known Greek and Roman medicine men like Galen and Hippocrates gained plenty of their knowledge studying in the University of Amenhotep and the great and glorious physician Lucanus - known in Biblical history as Saint Luke - studied under Greek and Egyptian physicians. There were plenty of physicians who believe in spells, and considered that disease was caused by evil demons. Tibetan and other Eastern medicine still uses incantations to get rid of demons which have possessed a human or an animal body, thus causing it to get sick. In Indian and Chinese medicine, the ancient doctors had a good knowledge of the human anatomy. More than 4000 years ago, doctors in India were practicing plastic surgery, by making up noses from flaps of skin taken from other parts of the body. In the same manner, Chinese doctors knew all about blood circulation and acupuncture. In fact, Chinese medicine can be considered to be one of the most ancient, scientific and knowledgeable science ever known to mankind in today's world. It was well documented, as was Egyptian medicine, of which many ancient priceless papyri have been found. Many of these ancient doctors knew about cause and effect, even though the belief of disease causing demons possessing a body still lingers on in many parts of the East. People are also under the impression that diseases are under the control and power of gods and goddesses who have to be placated so that they do not send an epidemic in the coming rainy season. Egypt, China, Greece, Mesopotamia, and India were fertile lands. That is why there was absolutely no reason why the people living here could not have plenty of healthy food to eat. Grains, fruit, vegetables, cereals, spices, nuts, and other natural health giving food were in abundance. This is why the ancients lived so long. Because of this healthy natural diet, and most of the people living outdoors, ailments and illnesses were few. That is why people of the 21st century are coming back to nature and looking for natural remedies based on fruit and vegetables, which are going to cure them of diseases and ailments. Chemical-based drugs may heal you very well on a short-term basis, but they are going to have an everlasting long-term effect on your body. That is because they are made up of chemicals, which do not suit the bio-physiological functioning system of your body. On the other hand, fruits and vegetables as well as herbs are going to heal your body naturally, while making sure that you do not suffer from any sort of side effects. This is the reason why grandma 's collected herbal lore and knowledge is all about the wonderful medical and beauty enhancing benefits of different herbs, spices, fruit, vegetables and flowers.

Table of Contents Introduction When Not to Drink Water When Do You Drink Water When Do You Drink Lots of Water How Do You Drink Water? How Much Water Do You Drink? How to Keep Healthy Keeping Your Eyes Healthy Hot Water Fomentation Healthy Bath Hip Baths Steam Baths Steam Baths for Weight Loss Breakfast for Weight Loss Steam Boxes Hot Water Cures Hydrotherapy Hot Foot Baths Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Two thirds of a human being's body is made up of water. Our body utilizes about 2600 g of water every day. The kidneys utilize 1500 g, the skin 650 g, the lungs 320 g, and 130 g of water is eliminated from the system every day. All this has to be restored through our food and the water we drink. Naturally, that is the reason why the ancients always told us that the easiest way to keep healthy was to drink 2 1/2 L of liquid every day. Not many of us do that because we think drinking water in such huge quantities would make us waterlogged! So for all those people, who just cannot bear anywhere between 8 to 10 glasses of water every day, this book is going to tell them all about the beneficial uses of water. It is also going to tell them how they can take full advantage of the easiest element of nature available to them, and in such abundance to heal, to keep healthy, and to remain hydrated. Do not do gulp down a glass full of water, the moment you grab it. Sip it down slowly - slowly, as if you have all the time in the world. This is so that if you are drinking cold or hot water, it takes a bit of while for the temperature to be regulated, to body temperature. By the time it reaches the stomach. When I was young, I lived in a state, where the ladies of the house always boiled cumin seeds in the water, first thing in the morning, to make sure that there was absolutely no possibility of stomach afflictions and ailments troubling any member of the family which had to drink that water throughout the day. In other parts of the country, people put basil leaves in water, and boiled that mixture to drink throughout the day, so that they did not suffer from any infections.

A Beginner's Guide to Sustainable Gardening Table of Contents Introduction Important Points of Sustainable Management Principles of Sustainable Gardening Some General Talk on Natural Ecosystems and Sustainable Forestry Water Harvesting Making Holding Pools Concrete Pools How to Make Your Own Pond Prefabricated Pools. Miscellaneous Containers Making Natural Compost My Best Friends - Earthworms Using Barnyard Produce for Making Compost Enriching The Soil with Natural Nutrients Chemical Fertilizers Seaweed water fertilizer More Natural Herbicides Saving Seeds from Last Year's Crop Maintaining your garden Beneficial Insects for Pest Control Essential Tools for Your Sustainable Garden Sustainable Gardening in Limited Spaces Know about pollinators Appendix Desertification control and rangeland management Leaf Compost Music of the hills by Saki Author Bio Introduction It was in the 1980s that the word sustainability in regard to an environment began to be associated with nature, environment, agriculture, and thus gardening. Horticulturalists believing in sustainable agriculture decided that it was easier for humans to use natural resources in a way to get better yields. They have been doing this for millenniums. However, this drain on the natural resources was going to cause the depreciation of such resources one time or the other because mother nature cannot keep nourishing and replenishing her without getting back something of what she gave. And this gave rise to the concept of sustainable gardening. Harvesting things you have grown your own self from your garden is such a positive feeling of achievement. The idea was that use what you can, from nature's bounty, and then give back to her, what you can so that you and she work in tandem in a symbiotic relationship. So all of us home gardeners can use sustainable gardening tips to make beautiful gardens with eco friendly designs, use of biodegradable materials, use of organic fertilizer and using native plants to sustain the environment and make a sustainable garden. A fruitful harvest is a lovesome thing God Wot - 14th-century saying When I was being taught agronomy at college in the 80s, nobody bothered about sustainable gardening. That was because in the East, the traditional agricultural practices were with the use of natural resources, because the agricultural traditions still belong to the middle 14 century in many parts of the country! That is why what is considered sustainable and organic gardening in the West today was an integral part of human existence in the Indian subcontinent at that time. We used organic fertilizer. We did not know about chemical pesticides or hormones. On the flipside, we did not know about agricultural development, which was taking place all over the world to get a better yield of food and crops. And that is why we relied on just the monsoon to feed our crops, and prayed to the rain God. If he did not come on time, we would be sunk. The bank and the money lender would take our land and then there would be no resort but to starve or go to the city to survive or lend ourselves out in bonded labor to a more prosperous farmer. This may sound shocking to people in well-developed countries, but this is still the sort of existence which is being led by people in many parts of the world. Even today, in this day of state-of-the-art technology and technological development, underdeveloped countries still follow obsolete agricultural practices, which do not take into account the natural resources already around them. And so, famine has been a part of their lives for centuries. So here are some rules which you are going to implement right now to make sustainable gardening possible.

Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Appearance and Behavior Chapter 2: Environment Conclusion Author Bio Bonus Dinosaur Content Introduction to Dinosaurs Facts about Dinosaurs Dinosaur Extinction Dinosaur Fossils Dinosaur Eggs Dinosaur Names Dinosaur Diet Feathered Dinosaurs Plant Eating Dinosaurs The Weirdest Dinosaurs The Deadliest Dinosaurs Flying Dinosaurs Kinds of Dinosaurs The Biggest Dinosaurs The Smallest Dinosaurs Author Bio Publisher Introduction Salutations young reader! Today we are going to embark on a journey back to the age of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are some of the most incredible animals that ever lived on our planet. They lived nearly 200 million years ago and thrived for about 165 million years. We humans have only been around for about 60,000 years and we have only been using computers for about 75 years. The dinosaurs mysteriously became extinct and disappeared from our earth, but left their fossilized remains behind. Dinosaur fossils have been constantly discovered in human history; the Chinese thought they were dragon bones and Europeans thought they were the bones of biblical monsters. Luckily, the scientific study of dinosaurs began in between 1815-1824 with the discovery of an Iguanodon fossil. Since then dinosaurs have been discovered all over the world. Their immense size, strange shapes, and wonderful natures make them inherently worthy of interest. The study of dinosaurs requires depth of imagination, analytical skills, and thought. The many unanswered questions about their lives, behavior, and disappearance provoke the curious to seek answers and ask even more questions. I hope this book fuels your imagination and makes you want to learn even more about dinosaurs. I hope you learn to appreciate the value of the dinosaurs and that you bring a spirit of openness and wonder on your journey. Today we will be learning about the Parasaurolophus. This dinosaur is a cool dinosaur to study because it was highly adaptable. This species of dinosaur survived for The Parasaurolophus also had an amazing crest on the top of its head. The purpose of this crest is currently being investigated by scientists- we are going to discuss this crest and much more including the appearance, behavior, and environment of this dinosaur. We know what we know about the dinosaurs from a variety of sources including fossils, biology, and other scientific disciplines. Fossils are the ancient remains of the dinosaurs, the most familiar being their bones. Biological science is the study of life in general, but many scientists compare the dinosaurs to modern day animals to support their theories. Before a talk about dinosaurs can take place it is important that we discuss the theory of evolution. Evolutionary theory supposes that all the animals we know and see today are the direct descendants of animals that existed millions of years ago. The dinosaurs and other creatures that existed millions of years ago either died out or gradually changed into different animals. For instance, birds are considered to be surviving dinosaurs because their dinosaur ancestors survived the dinosaur extinction event (we will discuss this later). There are no evolutionary descendants of the Parasaurolophus. Remember that any time you see an * next to the name of a dinosaur, it means that a book has been written about this dinosaur in the Dinosaur Books for Young Readers series. Any word written in bold is an important scientific term which is defined in-text. Italics are used to denote the first time a dinosaur's name is mentioned in the book.

Introduction Ladybugs seem to come and go without being noticed most of the time. They are cute and colorful insects. Insects are a living species that have a 3-part body, several eyes, 3 pairs of jointed legs and 1 pair of antennae. Antennae are long, thin sensors. Scientists that study insects are called entomologists. Entomology is a Greek word meaning segmented or cut into pieces. The study of insects is part of the field of biology which studies all living things. An insect's body has pieces that are joined together. Some animals have a long spine or backbone which means that they are made all in one piece. Insects are a diverse and fascinating form of life which accounts for more than two-thirds of all known organisms. There are approximately 1.3 million named species of insects around the globe. Insect species are still being identified and classified, with a description and a name. Ladybugs have a smooth and delicate shell on the top of their body. Underneath, 6, tiny rough legs work together so that they can walk around. Watch them move, they are slow and steady. They can tip over by accident and they may get stuck. Their stubby legs and their round body will struggle to right themselves. Just give them a little push and they will have their shell back on top. When ladybugs cluster on a sunny, kitchen window they can be a pest. But they are helpful creatures in the garden, field and forest. They naturally feed on the harmful insects that destroy plants, crops and trees. Ladybugs or lady beetles fly and cluster together. Read more animal books at http: //AmazingAnimalBooks.com

It was only when I began to get interested in naturopathy and natural cures, that I began to see that many of the knowledgeable and experienced naturopaths with whom I came in contact used some spices in some form or the other in order to produce a permanent cure of many ailments. This book is going to tell you about a large number of spices, and how you can use them effectively to cure yourself in timeworn and time-tested manners. In ancient times, cooks were highly experienced and knowledgeable healers. They knew all about the effect of spices on the human body as well as how they would affect a particular bio physiological makeup of one particular person. That is why, in Japanese, Korean, and in other countries in South Asia, the cooks were given the duty to heal an ailing person with the food they gave him. Spices not only add that bit of extra piquancy to our food, but they also provide an equilibrium between the energy given to the body from the normal food intake eaten at every meal and the body's natural bio physiological makeup. In ancient times, spices were so valuable that any country which produce a large number of spices was considered to be the richest and most desirable of all lands to conquer. The Roman soldiers were given their daily salary in salt - salarus-which they used in making their meal with Garum - anchovy or fish paste, onions and garlic. I remember an adventure story, where a group of adventurers went out to seek the buried treasure of an Elizabethan sea dog, found the treasure chests after a large number of trials and tribulations and the villains snapping at their heels, and open them up eagerly. Only to find no jewels or pieces of eight, but a large number of spices. Those spices would have made them multimillionaires in Elizabethan England, but in today's world, they are available on each and every departmental store shelf and in great abundance. We are fortunate in that way that we do not have to dole out tiny little portions of spices in order to add zest and spice to our food, while waiting for a ship load to come in with their exotic and expensive cargo. These spices came from the island of Zanzibar and other countries of Africa, India and other tropical countries, where they grew in abundance and were shipped globally since ancient times.

The Magic of Turmeric For Health and Beauty Contents Introduction There Is Something about Turmeric How to Grow Turmeric Best Soil for Turmeric. How to Harvest Turmeric Turmeric Essential Oil Storing Your Turmeric How to Grind Turmeric Using Turmeric for Dyeing Turmeric as an Insecticide Turmeric for Beauty Natural Skin Remedy Getting Rid of Skin Blemishes Getting Rid of Sunburn Turmeric Body Mask Oatmeal Turmeric Scrub Turmeric in a Toothpaste? Sprouted Lentil Veggie Burger Orange Turmeric Cake Marinated Grilled Prawns Savory Chickpeas Turmeric to Heal You. Tummy Parasites? Suffering from anemia? Turmeric for Curing Wounds Turmeric Antiseptic Turmeric and Onions team up against Colon Cancer Conclusion Introduction There is an ancient and amusing saying, very prevalent in the East," Mr. Rat found a rhizome of turmeric; he immediately opened up a grocers/herbalist shop!" This may be used to talk about a dreaming, ambitious person, who is trying to extend his wings beyond his capacities, but on the other hand, it talks all about the power of turmeric. As a grocer, Mr. Rat could not only sell turmeric as a condiment and as a spice, for cooking purposes, but he also had easy access to the cure-all for all ailments - turmeric! Scientific research in the West, has found out that turmeric, has antibiotic and germicidal qualities, but that was already known in the ancient alternative medicine of the Orient and of the East. It had to be a necessary part of the medical arsenal of every wise woman out there, in ancient times, because if she did not have easy access to the medicine man or to a physician, she just had to resort to plain old turmeric. So her family's cough and cold prevalent chest infections, cuts, wounds, and even skin problems in her teenage kids, with those pimples and skin blemishes could be cured by turmeric. The idea that turmeric is used just as a spice, giving flavor and a golden color to cuisine, is slowly and steadily disappearing from the Western mind. Instead, they are getting to know more about its curative properties, thanks to research telling them about Curcumin - a natural product present in turmeric, which keeps you safe, healthy, and also prevents cancer. Chinese, Greek, Egyptian, Indian, and Oriental medicine knew all about the value of this rhizome since ancient times. This plant belongs to the same family as the equally important curative Herb - ginger. The herb that you are going to get in the market, is going to be a golden yellow powder, made up of grinding dry rhizomes in a heavy-duty grinder. I remember one of the persuasive salesman, trying to persuade my father to buy some of his hundred percent pure, freshly ground in his own mill turmeric powder, packaged in his own shop. My father looked at him and told him, "last time I bought some of this hundred percent pure, freshly packaged powder from the market, I put a teaspoon full of it in the water, and I have got enough of saffron dye mixed in it to dye a turban!" That shut the sales man up, because that is when guilty conscience works. Yes it is true; the powder that you are going to get in the market today is possibly definitely not pure, that is why it is necessary for you to use a grinder to grind the rhizomes. This book is going to tell you all about the magic of turmeric, and you are going to be surprised to know that you knew so less about this amazing herb/spice. Not only is it being used extensively to cure and prevent life-threatening diseases, but it can help save you a lot of headaches and possible financial expenditure, related to your health in the future.

Table of Contents Introduction What is a wasp? What kinds of wasps are there? The history of wasps and humans Yellow jacket Hornet Fig wasp Conclusion Author Bio Introduction Wasps are an insect most people know about and hate very much. At the same time, they know very little about them except that they can sting more than one time, and some kinds are kind of cranky. With most of them having the telltale yellow and black stripes, people know to steer clear of wasps. Yet, they don't have these colors just to warn people; there's more to the wasp's coloring than that. And many of them have entirely different coloring too, such as the green hornet. Most are familiar with the common wasp, but there are so many different kinds of wasps that there's no hope of including a good description of all of them even in a thousand page book. Some are small, some are huge. Some reproduce in different ways; others pollinate plants, and others don't. There's an incredible amount to know about the wasp and all its kinds. So, read on, and discover the things they never tell you about wasps.

"You have never been around an organic farm before, have you? Or it is possible that you have not lived in this area, have you." Naturally, I had to ask him what made him say that, because I was used to going around organic farms, once being an organic gardener myself. He said that any native of that particular area would immediately pounce upon a radish growing in the fields, and pull it out - without waiting for an invitation from the owner - dip it into the nearest water source, and sink his teeth into it. When in Rome do as the Romans do. I did so. And thus I enjoyed the crisp natural sweetish taste of this taproot, Raphanus sativus, which has been the mainstay of so many civilizations since prehistoric times. The Romans could not do without the radish. In fact, it was eaten raw, cooked, boiled, made into salads, and not only the taproot, but even the leaves were finished by those people who enjoyed good food. The ancient Greeks and Romans used to make a paste of radish and onions with dried fish and eat it with every meal. In fact Apicius has spoken about radishes, best eaten with pepper in "his Art Of Cooking in Imperial Rome." So I would not be surprised if the ubiquitous fish sauce, used to liquefy and spice dishes, and known as garum was not also added to dishes with another sharp flavoring agent - radish. One is grateful that radishes are available all over the world, but whether people use them for their own benefit as much as they should, is debatable. That is because many people think that radishes like onions and garlic have a distinctive odor. That is why, at parties or at get-togethers, they are just served as salad helpings, accompanied with onion slices and tomatoes.

Table of Contents Learning Decorative Stitches - the Art of Shirring and Smocking Table of Contents Introduction Gathering Using Cords for Gathers Staying a Gathered Seam Getting Started with Smocking Traditional Diamond Stitch Different Types of Stitches Cable Stitch Honeycomb stitch and Surface Honeycomb Surface Honeycomb Outline back stitch Also Known As Stem Stitch Chevron Stitch Wave Stitch Trellis stitch Measuring for Smocking Helpful Tips Gauging Machine Smocking Also Known As Shirring Tips for Machine Shirring Couching Fagotting Finishing the Smocking Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was just moving around the local fabric market, when I noticed that a number of garments were embroidered with really attractive smocking stitches at the front and the back, the neck, yokes, pockets, sleeves, the bodices, necklines, bodices, cuffs, and even waists of a supposedly plain design and turn them into a thing of beauty. Smocking is supposed to have originated in Europe somewhere in the medieval times, where buttons could not be afforded by the laborers to fasten the garment and fullness needed to be controlled. This was done with multiple rows of gathered fabric which was controlled over a wide area. Nowadays, it is restricted to just babies and children's clothing primarily, even though you can use it on any garment which needs a bit of decorative embellishment. Later on, smocking became a purely decorative design intended as a status symbol - the word originates from a peasants' shirt also known as a smock. This was used extensively in almost every garment made by hand for laborers as well as for popular ordinary wear in the eighteenth as well as the nineteenth century. Smocking at that time was done with crewel needles or embroidery needles with silken threads or cotton threads depending on the fabric. You will need about 3 times the initial width's material because of major part of it is going to be gathered up into folds, and stitched together. If you can gather the material, you can smock it. Naturally, this was the best way in which clothes could be "gathered together" in the absence of elastic. The fabrics on which the stitches work best are lightweight and ones that can gather easily. These include gingham, muslin, crêpe de Chine, Cashmere, Swiss cotton, voile, Batiste, cottons, and handkerchief linens.

There is so much we can learn about them, and yet there are still mysteries about them waiting to be revealed. There may be stories you have heard about elephants. Now the question is, "Are those stores fact or fiction? Are they true or false?" One bit of information you may have heard is that elephants have a good memory. That is very true! It is so true, that it is believed that elephants have a better memory than humans do. Elephants can remember other elephants that they may not have seen in years. They can also remember being treated unkindly by someone even though many years may have passed. Another story that is often thought about with elephants is, "Are they afraid of mice?" You might have heard that elephants fear mice because they can run up the elephant's trunk. But the answer here is that this story is not true, and there is no proof of any kind to support this. It may not surprise you know that the elephants of today are related to the Ice Age Mammoth. At one time there were over 350 different species of elephants, yet today we have only two species left! Can you name the two species? What you may be surprised to learn is that elephants were not always the large creatures you see today. In fact, in prehistoric times, the elephant was as small as the size of a cow or pig. Would it surprise you to learn that the elephants of today are related to the sea cow known as the Manatee? Did you know that when the elephants flap their ears they do it for a reason? Or do you know what jobs the elephants use their tusks for? An elephant's tusk can be smaller on one side than the other. Do you know the reason why? Did you know that a female elephant will spend her whole life in one herd, while the male elephant usually live their lives alone sometime after the age of 14? As you can see, there are many interesting things that can be learned about this tremendous sized animal with the ivory tusks.

The death toll is expected rise even further. The cost of treatment of asthma is increasing. Accept it- No one likes going to a doctor. A single visit to a doctor costs too much.

You don't have to go to great lengths to cure asthma. Sometimes, simple things in your cupboard or refrigerator can serve as homemade remedies for asthma. Another natural way is to treat asthma with herbs. Herbs are being used for the treatment of several ailments for thousands of years. But, it's an astounding fact that people consider them unsafe and difficult to use. Several experimentations have proved that herbs can cure several health conditions with virtually zero side effects. A simple change in life style can also help in curing asthma. Asthmatic attacks, in some cases, are triggered by eating certain food substances. So, having knowledge of what to eat and what to skip can actually decrease the frequency of asthmatic attacks. Section one - Asthma - an overview Asthma - What is Asthma? Asthma is a common health condition related to an immune reaction taking place in the respiratory track. It's a breathing disorder characterized by several symptoms like air way obstruction, difficulty in breathing, tightness of chest, coughing and wheezing. For most of the people asthma is not a big problem. But, in reality it can cause serious hindrance in performing routine activities. If it goes untreated, it can produce serious and life threatening conditions. Asthma is an immune reaction triggered when the respiratory track is exposed to certain irritating stimuli. Human body has got a strong immune system which protects it from the harmful effects of foreign substances like chemicals, pollutants and organisms like bacteria and viruses. An important component of this immune system is "mast cells". These cells respond to the presence of certain "antigens" and release several mediators of inflammation, in the presence of these antigens. For example, if these cells are exposed to the smoke of cigarette, they'll release several chemicals which, in turn, will start a cascade of events leading to the development of symptoms of inflammation. These mediators cause spasm in the muscles of respiratory track, increase the production of mucus and make the respiration difficult. Asthma is a combination of several environmental and genetic factors.
