Apart from your home and kitchen, you are going to find long forgotten hints, which were used by your and my grandma to get rid of stains, preserve clothes from pests, and other tips, which may sound very amusing and surprising in this day and age. But you should remember that grandma was brought up in times when she had to watch every penny of grandpa's limited income and make it stretch until it screeched. That is why, she was more prone to using her own natural good sense, inborn shrewdness, or knowledge passed to her from her own grandmother, friends, relatives, and from her neighbors too. In fact, they used to meet once in a while, and exchange household tips, which may have gone something like this "Oh, Mrs...., I have found it so easy to remove stains from my hands, by just rubbing a lemon over them, and I prevent chapping by drying my hands after I have done the washing and then rubbing a pinch of starch all over the surface, "all the while waving those same unchapped stainless hands in the air.

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.

Author Bio Introduction Millenniums ago, a man deciding to build a garden was fortunate because he had all that land right outside his door. All he had to do is clear out a piece of land, and mark it with a boundary wall. After that, he could go hunting for attractive looking plants in the wild, and bring them back home. With a little bit of care and cherishing, he would soon have a tame garden of his own. But today, a large number of us are not so fortunate. Space is at a premium. Concrete jungles have taken the place of what was once nature’s backyard. And that is why man is looking for easy options to bring beautiful greenery inside his limited space. And so this book is for all those, who want to know more about indoor plants, how to grow them, how to take care of them, which are the best plant varieties which flourish indoors and tips and techniques with which you can enjoy not only a relaxing hobby, but also greenery around you. Until just after the Second World War, indoor household plants were limited to ferns, palms, and potted plants, which flowered in season. Surely plants like aspidistras were also popular for interior decoration but soon more and more wide-ranging varieties and species of foliage parted plants began to be known to keen gardeners. This change is due chiefly to the architects who designed postwar buildings on severe lines. Gone were the rambling houses with huge gardens. Strictly utilitarian designs were utilized by architects to design these houses and flats. Frankly speaking most of them were chicken coops. The introduction of houseplants in a large variety of colors and fonts provided a flash of color to those austere and severe designs. You could relieve the simplicity and the austerity of the home by growing houseplants indoors. Thanks to the improved heating and lighting systems, many varieties which were once grown in hot houses, greenhouses and conservatories would now flourish indoors as houseplants. There are many plants which are easier to grow, and last for several years.

This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Proving your worth in the initial stages Know Your Place Whine Whine Whine… Being Chronically Late Bottom line for bosses – Getting the Most Out Of Your Employees Facing A Different Culture Behavior in Public Culture Clashes and Prejudices Vacation Time – I Want My Vacation Now! Continuous Sick Leave Volunteering for Extra Work Job Hopping Personal Relationships in the Workplace Trying to Tackle Personal Time during Company Time Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Some days ago, another management professional colleague asked me why I would want to write a book upon how to get ahead in your career, because everybody who was sensible and was professional enough to think about how best he could advance in his career knew the first three basic steps so well loved by every boss – take the long hours, the hard work and the tasks which other people think impossible as a challenge, especially in the beginning of your career. Within a couple of years, all of this will be a part of your working habits and ethos. As this book has been written for a global audience. I will take both the Eastern and the Western work traditions, ethics, working conditions and atmospheres into consideration. Also, there are a large number of factors, and moves which may limit your career, of which you do not know, and have not guessed. So if you do not intend to have your career blow up in a tremendous boom, taking your future along with it, it is time that you start getting serious about how to advance your career, without making any moves which will limit it. When you read this book, you may say, why it looks like I am talking more about American work cultures, but then as this book is for a global audience, and I am talking of what I speak, American work cultures, French, British, Australian, and Asian work cultures and working environments, I have all of these to compare and to bring to your attention. Also, you may say that I may have digressed sometimes, on topics, which are according to you, nothing to do with your career, but I am talking about social norms, cultures and traditions in those examples. They are just for general knowledge, and possibly as cautionary tales about things you do not do, especially when you have taken up a job abroad, far away from your own country and in a strange culture away from your own land.

A new recipe, a new spice, or a new taste not only makes us crave for more, but results in mindless eating without even thinking how much harm the food will do to us and to our digestive system. The result of which has been obesity and a number of diseases. Beyond this, the researchers and nutritionists have been following some simple tips and tricks and exercises, which not only help us enjoy all the flavors of the food, but also help us in controlling our portion size and motivating us to eat in a proper manner. The following eBook helps us understand the concept of mindful eating, its benefits, simple tips, and exercises for eating mindfully. It also gives us an insight into the food transit time, type of over eater we are, and helps us to work towards eating less and appropriate food, as per our needs and habits.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents The Harmful Effects of Weight Loss Pills Table of Contents Introduction Eating Disorders and Weight Loss Pills Body Imaging and Personal Looks Natural Fat Absorption by the Body Side Effects Of Weight Loss Pills How to Eat Properly Taking Up Some Sort of Sport The Psychological Effect of Literature and Popular/Social Media on the Psyche Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I just happened to walk into a drugstore, and I was astonished to see the great number of weight loss pills, weight loss diets, slimming foods, and other such weight-loss ads taking about four shelves in the whole shop. Just 10 years ago, nobody bothered much about getting obsessed about weight loss in our particular neck of the woods, but now it seems that this problem has become a universal obsession. So I decided to write this book on the harmful effects of slimming and weight loss pills, so that if you have begun obsessing about weight loss with the help of these very dangerous and potentially harmful pills, at least you are going to get a deep insight into the psychological, physical, mental, and even emotional long-term negative effects, these can have on your mind, body and psyche. You are going to say, are you a doctor, show me your medical degree so that I can believe you. Under such circumstances, I am sorry, but I do not have a number of alphabets behind my name, to reassure you about what I say is true. But then, the medical association is promoting the usage of these weight loss pills, so that your health is ruined, and because I have been associated with the medical field as a hospital administrator, with a College Degree in Natural Sciences, [Zoology, Botany and Chemistry – three in 1 Degree…] with lots of knowledge of human physiology, biochemistry and the chemistry of pharmaceutical products manufactured in the labs, I believe I can give you good reasons why you should never ever think of ruining your health with weight loss pills and chemically manufactured slimming aids, which only served to deprive you of your own natural good health, in the long-term.

Planting Hyacinth and Crocus Corms Bulb Fiber – Tips Newspaper Compost “Plunging” Bulbs. Growing Bulbs on Water. Methods of Water Cultivation. Bulb Failure Best Bulbs Choices Conclusion Author Bio Introduction The first time I saw a miniature garden growing in a bottle, my immediate response was “but how did the plants get into the bottle?” Naturally, this amused the gardener very much, and for those people who are not into the secret of how the plants got into the bottle, this feat can only be on par with how did a model ship get into the bottle! A garden in a bottle has about the same sort of fascination and requires almost that same amount offered dexterity and ingenuity to construct as a ship in the bottle. It is also going to need a lot of patience, because after all, you are gardening in limited space. But once your water garden is established, it can be left for months without attention. In many cases, depending on your plans, it may also not need watering. So for all those people who have been really fascinated with this conversation piece, when you see people surrounding a glass bottle with beautiful plants growing in it, here is the beginner’s guide to indoor gardening in a bottle. More than 200 years ago, a London physician named that Nathaniel Ward discovered that mosses, as well as ferns, which never grew satisfactorily in a city full of industrial fumes flourished if they were grown in the protection of a glass sided case. Thanks to his experiments, bottle Gardens developed in Europe, and since then, they have been the rage all over the world for people who are strapped for place, are looking for a new hobby, and also want to achieve something wonderful. You can use any large bottle. But the bottle has to be made of glass! Carboy glass bottles are normally made for brewing beer, so if you can get them cheap at a nursery nearby, please do so. A 5 gallon carboy bottle is going for around USD 48 on eBay USA, but as my gardening books always suggest, follow and advocate minimum of expense and minimum of fuss, you may want to spend some time asking around in your circle of friends and neighbors for large glass bottles, which is they can spare you. I have seen some of these bottles kept away in garages, because once upon a time, they were used and the owner does not have any use for them at the moment. He may not want them for another 20 years, either. Please do buy the bottles from your friends! Otherwise, a long-lasting friendship can get into jeopardy, when carelessly spoken words of half jesting “Well, he borrowed that bottle from me and what a mess he has made in it.” could cause subconscious rancor and ill will. That is of course if he is not interested in gardening! If he is a gardener, he is going to demand his bottle back – along with your bottle garden, - five years down the line! You may want to tell him the purpose for this gardening experiment. It is possible he may also want to give you some suggestions about plants based on his experience.

Download or read book How to Find a Nanny for Your Kids written by Muhammad Usman and published by Mendon Cottage Books. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction General Information About Nannies & Housekeepers Advantages, Disadvantages, & Costs of Hiring a Nanny Searching For The Right Nanny Alternative Ways To Search for a Nanny Getting the Right Fit Nanny Claims And Children Vouchers Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I want to thank you for downloading the book “How to Find a Nanny for Your Kids.” This book contains the basic steps and strategies on how you can find a suitable nanny for their kids, especially during those desperate moments when you have a lot going on and you need someone to help you to look out for your children when you are not around or too busy to do so yourself. It is true what people say, that nannies are usually the best option if you need your kids to have a heart-to-heart relationship with their caretaker; also a good nanny will, on a regular basis, become just like another member of your family. As you begin this journey, it is valuable to understand that nannies are usually qualified in childcare; most of them usually have several years of experience. Since this is their profession, most of the time they do their duty for longer hours than normal child minders. Good nannies tend to provide a continuity of care within the confinement of your home, something that you might not get with a mere child minder. Furthermore, it is important to actually know what you intend to achieve from nanny services since they are expected to tend to all aspects of caring for your children, which includes doing the children's' laundry, cleaning their rooms, as well as cooking their food, just to mention a few. This guide will inform you on why such duties should be agreed upon before the care commences, and also why you might have to re-insure your car so that the nanny can use it during emergency cases, or alternatively provide expenses for fuel purchase if they have a car of their own. With this book, you will be able to understand several different types of nannies in order to identify the type of caretaker that is suitable for your family i.e. the daily nanny who leaves at the end of the day and only works for an agreed amount of time or schedule; the live-in nanny who lives in your house and has a room of his or her own; the nanny share who works for more than one family and sometimes looks after all the kids in those families together. In addition, the differences between registered and non-registered nannies have been well illustrated in this guide, as well as why parents should claim financial help in order to pay for registered nannies. Take your time to go through this book keenly as it is quite useful. It has been written in an interesting and simple way and it is the hope of the author that you will enjoy every single bit of it.

Book excerpt: A PRECIOUS DISCOVERY As it was summertime and holiday period, I started renovating my parents’ house. With trembling emotion I came across some maps and notebooks that timeworn—some were culinary recipes, others were tips for the household, written by my great grandmother—Tudora and completed by my grandmother Elena. Probably between 1918–1924, judging by its appearance, it had been written and used in a school for girls, where household courses were taught (teachers had studies in this field and diplomas were awarded). After a time of great emotion, I realized that it would be good to let those around me know about my discovery, especially since I noticed a historical coincidence, the year 2018 being a centenary of the Great Union Day that every Romanian celebrates on December 1st. Among the writings forgotten in the attic and discovered by me, there were books of theological courses and a watch that belonged to my mother’s father, Efrem Ionescu—priest and Conservatory graduate. An outstanding figure of his time and region (together with Saint Calinic, he founded the church in Bueşti, Ialomita), he was spoiled every day of his life not only by his grandmother Elena (teacher of tens of generations), through the joy of the healthiest and tastiest food, but also by his mother—Paraschiva and his mother-in-law—Tudora. It was like going back in time. One of the notebooks is presented to you today to make use with the pleasure of the recipes and tips of the 1920’s, but also to compare these recipes with others, collected in time. The book is in fact a basis for what was commonly eaten in those times. Of course, I will also publish in a subsequent volume the other recipes I discovered, but I decided to present, above all, this booklet, taking advantage of the relaxing moments offered by the summer. This is how it is that today, almost 100 years after its writing, my great grandfather’s book makes sure we will not forget what the main recipes and tips in any settlement were. The pages of today’s booklet are packed with photos from which it appears that their way of socialization was much stronger than today’s. The housewives of the time excelled in culinary arts, competing in the preparation of the dishes, enjoying them every week when they met in the family. At one point, the communists seized power and confiscated their assets, many of them inherited; only a few objects have escaped, and the scars still remain now, only to be transformed into stars. One of the pages of the booklet presents the confiscation report and shows what was taken exactly at some point. However, what belonged to education and, in essence, to the main heritage of the family, was saved. Read the book to find out much more... Cristina Popa Tache
