Treating burns with egg white

A friend of mine shared me this treatment remedies. Not sure whether it really works but no harm trying right?


Egg white
One hopes never to be needing it, but just in case:...
A simple but effective way to treat burns with the help of egg white.
This method is used in the training of firemen.
When sustaining a burn, regardless the degree, the first aid is always placing the injured part under running cold water till the heat subsides.
And next spread the egg white over the injury.
Someone burned a large part of her hand with boiling water. Despite the pain she held her hand under running water, then took two eggs, parted the yolk from the egg white and slightly beat the egg white and put her hand in it. Her hand was so badly burned that the egg white dried and formed a white film. Later she heard that the egg is a natural collagen.
And during the next hour layer upon layer, she administered a white layer on her hand. That afternoon she didn't feel any more pain and the next day there hardly was a red mark to see. She thought she would have an awful scar but to her astonishment after ten days there was no sign of the burn, the skin had it's normal colour again!
The burned area had been totally regenerated thanks to the collagen, in reality a placenta full of vitamins.

Earthquake Intensity

I just cannot imagine how bad was the earthquake when i read on newspaper 9.0...7.0...6.8... So I googled it and i found this... Good to know!


Modified Mercalli Scale, 1956 version
Intensity value Characteristics Richter
(note 1)
I Only detectable by seismographs. (note 2) <3.5
II Felt by persons at rest on upper floors or favorably placed. 3.5
III Felt indoors. Hanging objects swing. Vibration like passing of light trucks. Duration estimated. May not be recognized as an earthquake. 4.2
IV Hanging objects swing. Vibration like passing of heavy trucks. Windows, dishes, doors rattle. Parked cars rock. Glasses clink. Crockery clashes. In the upper range of IV, wooden walls and frames creak. 4.5
V Felt outdoors; direction estimated. Sleepers awakened. Liquids disturbed, some spilled. Small unstable objects displaced or upset. Doors swing, close, open. Shutters, pictures, move. Pendulum clocks stop; start, change rate. 4.8
VI Felt by all. Many frightened and run outdoors. Persons walk unsteadily. Windows, dishes, glassware broken. Knickknacks, books, etc. fall off shelves. Pictures fall off walls. Furniture moves or overturned. Weak plaster and masonry D cracked. Small bells ring (church, school). Trees, bushes sway visibly or are heard to rustle. 5.4
VII Difficult to stand. Noticed by drivers. Hanging objects quiver; furniture breaks; damage to masonry D, including cracks. Weak chimneys broken off at roof line. Fall of plaster, loose bricks, stones, tiles, cornices, unbraced parapets and architectural ornaments. Some cracks in masonry C. Waves on ponds, water turbid with mud. Small slides and caving in along sand and gravel banks. Large bells ring. Concrete irrigation ditches damaged. 6.1
VIII Steering of cars affected. Damage to masonry C and partial collapse; some damage to masonry B, none to masonry A. Fall of stucco and some masonry walls. Twisting, fall of chimneys, factory stacks, monuments, towers, elevated tanks. Frame houses moved on foundations if not bolted down; loose panel walls thrown out. Decayed piling broken off. Branches broken from trees. Changes in flow or temperature of springs and wells. Cracks in wet ground and on steep slopes. 6.5
IX General panic. Masonry D destroyed; masonry C heavily damaged, sometimes with complete collapse; masonry B seriously damaged. General damage to foundations. Frame structures, if not bolted down, shift off foundations. Frames racked. Serious damage to reservoirs. Underground pipes break. Conspicuous cracks in ground. In alluviated areas sand and mud ejected, earthquake fountains, sand craters. 6.9
X Most masonry and frame structures destroyed with their foundations. Some well-built wooden structures and bridges destroyed. Serious damage to dams, dikes, and embankments. Large landslides. Water thrown on banks of canals, rivers, lakes, etc. Sand and mud shifted horizontally on beaches and flat land. Rails bent slightly. 7.3
XI Rails bent greatly. Underground pipelines completely out of service. 8.1
XII Damage nearly total. Large rock masses displaced. Lines of sight and level distorted. Objects thrown into the air. >8.1

Masonry A: shows good workmanship, mortar and design; reinforced, especially laterally, and bound together using steel, concrete, etc.; designed to reduce lateral forces.

Masonry B: Good workmanship and mortar; reinforced, but not designed in detail to resist lateral forces.

Masonry C: Ordinary workmanship and mortar; no extreme weaknesses like failing to tie in at corners, but neither reinforced nor designed against horizontal forces.

Masonry D: Weak materials, such as adobe; poor mortar; low standards of workmanship; weak horizontally.

Notes

1. Any Richter scale equivalent to a Mercalli intensity is at best approximate, since the two scales measure different things. The number given is an estimate of the Mercalli intensity experienced at or near the epicenter of the earthquake.

2. Intensity I is assigned to some quakes that actually were detected by people, if the people were very far from the epicenter and could feel the quake only because of exceptionally favorable circumstances. In 1964 a few people in Seattle, for example, felt the Alaska earthquake because they were up in the Space Needle, and some people in Houston skyscrapers felt the 1985 Mexican earthquake.

Dresses
Go to Milennia Square (Lobak), there are many newly opened boutiques in that area.
I recommend a boutique called 'Elizabeth boutique'' situated just opposite the Tarot cafe. They have the most dinner dress choices and with reasonable prices. However, I couldn't find a suitable dress for myself.

So, I went to Sg.Wang & Times square in KL to hunt for my perfect white dress. I can tell that you do not need to go Times Square as the dress quality are so bad and cheap. Sg.Wang has more choices and better quality and I finally found mine. It is a bit pricey but worth it! I bought a white long dress at 'Fairy Beauty' @ Rm290. It is really nice, simple & elegant + good quality. The most important thing is it makes me look slimmer! ^_^

I hope it is enough for Seremban babes. Enjoy your Rom Day & Congratulations!

How Much do you know about fats?

I find this article very interesting and knowledgeable and thought of sharing it to everyone.

1)What is the purpose of fats?
  • To release hormones that control metabolism

Fat is known to have two main purposes:
-Fat stores excess calories in a safe way so you can use them when you're hungry, and
-Fat releases hormones that control metabolism.

  • 9 calories
2) How many calories are in a gram of fat?

The number of calories you need each day varies depending on your body size and activity levels. Someone who needs about 2,000 calories a day should eat no more than 65 grams of fat a day on average. To determine your ideal daily dietary fat intake:


1. Take the number of calories you eat each day and multiply it by 30 percent (.30). For example: 2,000 calories x .30 = 600 calories from fat.


2. Divide your answer by 9 because there are 9 calories in each gram of fat. This will give you the number of grams of fat per day that should be your upper limit goal. Here, it's: 600 / 9 = 65 grams.


A person who gets 2,000 calories per day ideally should not consume more than 65 grams of fat. Some researchers suggest that even 65 grams of fat in a 2,000 calorie diet is still too much fat.

3) Belly fat is worse than hip/thigh fats

Abdominal, or belly, fat is viewed as a bigger health risk than hip or thigh fat. It has a worse effect on insulin resistance, boosting the risk of diabetes, and a worse effect on the level of fats in the blood, boosting heart and stroke risks. Belly fat, or an apple-shaped body, is also most associated with heart disease and other diseases, such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The bigger your waist, the higher your risk of developing heart failure, a condition where the heart isn’t pumping enough blood out and fluid begins to back up into the lungs and/or pool in the feet and legs

4) What is Brown fat?

-Brown fat = Baby fat

Brown adipose tissue (or brown fat) is a rapid source of energy for infants and forms about 5% of their body weight. It is brown because the cells in it are packed full of small cellular organs called mitochondria, which are energy factories, and it has a rich supply of blood vessels. Brown fat is virtually gone by adulthood.

5) The normal percentage of body fat for a women is: 25%-30%

the normal amount of body fat (expressed as a percentage of body weight) is between 25%-30% in women and 18%-23% in men. Women with over 30% body fat and men with over 23% body fat are considered obese.

6) One pound of fat = 3,500 calories

There are 3,500 calories in a pound of fat. You need to burn off 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound. This translates into 500 calories per day to lose 1 pound in a week, or 1,000 calories per day to lose 2 pounds in a week. (1-2 pounds per week is generally considered to be a safe rate of weight loss). This can be achieved by eating fewer calories or using up more through physical activity. A combination of both is best.

7) Fats maintain healthy hair and skin

Believe it or not, healthy skin and hair are maintained by fat. Fat helps the body absorb and move the vitamins A, D, E, and K through the bloodstream.

8) What is hyperlipidemia?

-High fat in the blood

Hyperlipidemia describes high fat content in the blood. High blood cholesterol that runs in families, called familial hypercholesterolemia, is the most common inherited type of hyperlipidemia. It predisposes those who have it to premature hardening of the arteries including coronary artery disease with heart attacks at an unusually young age. About half of men and a third of women with these conditions suffer a heart attack by age 60.

9) When a product contains partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, what does the term "hydrogenated" mean?

Hydrogen was added to the oil
During this process called hydrogenation, hydrogen is added to vegetable oil. Hydrogenation turns a liquid fat such as vegetable oil into a semi-solid (harder), more shelf-stable fat, such as margarine. Most oils are only partially hydrogenated, which creates harmful trans fats that can raise cholesterol.

10) Why would food manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil?
11) What is metabolism?
12) The more weight you carry, the faster your metabolism is likely running.
Surprised? It's true; the more weight you carry, the faster your metabolism is likely running. "The simple fact is that the extra weight causes your body to work harder just to sustain itself at rest, so in most instances, the metabolism is always running a bit faster," says Molly Kimball, RD, sports and lifestyle nutritionist at the Oscher's Clinic's Elmwood Fitness Center.

That's one reason it's almost always easier to lose weight at the start of a diet and harder later on. Kimball says: "When you are very overweight, your metabolism is already running so high that any small cut in calories will result in an immediate loss."
