The Unique Trees have ever

Matthew Fox once said – “If you look closely at a tree you’ll notice its knobs and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully.”

1. EL ARBOL DE LA SABINA

Trees are important components of the natural landscape and a wonderful living organism which gives shelter, food, warmth and protection to all living things. Though common trees are fascinating immensely but there are some of the more unusual and amazing tree specimens found in the world which is weird and spectacular, yet people are hardly aware of their mysterious properties, strange sizes or unusual shapes. Here are some which top the list of being the strangest trees found on the planet. It’s a treat to t
he eye!

2. AXEL ERLANDSON’S CIRCUS TREE


Axel Erlandson’s passion for sculpting trees, also known as arborsculpture, led him to open a horticulture attraction in 1947 near Santa Cruz, California named The Circus Tree and people flocked in from all over the country to view his strange and striking creations which are nothing short of breathtaking! Using a special set of skills, Erlandson started to sculpt things out of living, growing trees. One such tree is the famous “Basket Tree”. which is actually six Sycamores grafted together in 42 different connections to give it its basket shape.

3. PIRANGI CASHEW TREE,BRAZIL


It’s the largest cashew tree in the world and more like a root and bush than a tree covering a span of 8,500 square meters alone! This tree is probably 300 feet by 300 feet in total. It looks like a forest and a bears 8000 fruit in a year .This picture doesn’t do it justice but should give you an idea of the enormity.

4. TREE OF LIFE, BAHRAIN

The Tree of Life in Bahrain is one of the mysteries of world which is bound to be in the list of most unusual trees aroung the globe! This four century old mesquite tree survives in the midst of desert without availability of water. The mystery of the survival of the tree has made it a legend and the name “tree of life” is absolutely appropriate for the tree, truly representing the magic of life. A legend is also attached to the site where the tree is located. The local inhabitants believe with heart and soul that this was the actual location of the Garden of Eden.

5. CHAPEL OAK OF ALLOUVILLE – BELLEFOSSE

Next is the Chapel Tree one of the most famous trees in France – actually, it’s more than just a tree: it’s a building and a religious monument all in one. In 1669, l’Abbe du Detroit and du Cerceau decided to build a chapel in (at that time) a 500 years old or so oak tree made hollow by a lightning bolt. Now, parts of the tree are dead, the crown keeps becoming smaller and smaller every year, and parts of the tree’s bark, which fell off due to old age, are covered by protective oak shingles. As a symbol, however, it seems that the Chapel-Oak of Allouville-Bellefosse may live on forever.

6. BAOBAB – MADAGASCAR


Baobabs, with their distinctive shape, are one of the most charismatic group of trees in the world. This particular specimen, located in Madagascar, is referred to as the ‘Teapot Baobab’. These trees remain leafless for most part of the year, and their thick, bloated, fire-resistant trunks store water during the dry months. One would be surprised to find that some baobab trunks are so large that people actually reside inside them!

7. GERMAN SHERMAN – (SEQUIA NATIONAL PARK)

General Sherman is about 2500years old tree with a height of 275 feet (83.8 metres), located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in the United States. In January 2006 the largest branch on the tree broke off. The breakage, however, could not change the General Sherman’s status as the largest tree! This stunning tree has the base of its trunk measuring about 102 feet in circumference. Witnesses to this spectacular creation of nature can only justify its stature!

8. SILK COTTON TREES OF TA PROHM,CAMBODIA


Ta Prohm Temple or the Jungle Temple which is located in the Angkor Thom complex has trees growing here in the most astounding way. Words cannot describe it until you set foot there and see it for yourself. Apparently, the place was left as is over the hundreds of years and the outcome is amazing from what you see now in the place which is also called Angkor Archaeological Park. On every side, in fantastic over-scale, the trunks of the silk-cotton trees soar skywards under a shadowy green canopy, their long spreading skirts trailing the ground and their endless roots coiling more like reptiles than plants.

9. TULE TREE OF OAXACA, MEXICO

Mexico’s most famous tree, the ginormous Tule Tree (Arbol del Tule) grows near Oaxaca City. It may not be the largest or the oldest tree in the world, but it has no contenders for widest girth award which is abround 164 feet in circumference.It’s best not to look at the tree as a single icon. Indeed there is a family of ancient trees. Rooted in the town of Santa María del Tule, the Tule Tree and its environs comprise a unique natural monument.

10. DRAGON TREE, CANARY ISLANDS

The Dragon Tree is found at de los Vinos in Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands, and is said to be between 650 and 1,500 years old. This specimen inherited this name from mythical origins: Hercules had to bring back three golden apples from the garden of the Hespérides, which is guarded by Landon, the hundred-headed dragon. Hercules killed Landon and his blood flowed out over the land, which began to sprout ‘dragon’ trees. The tree exudes ‘dragon’s blood’ – a red sap – when cut.

11. WOLLEMI PINE, AUSTRALIA


The unique qualities of the Wollemi Pine lie not in its looks but in its history. It is a “living dinosaur”, and was nearly extinct before it was discovered in Sydney, Australia in 1994. Now called “the crown jewels of the botanical world”, the Wollemi pine had previously been known only from a 120-million-year-old fossil. Very few exist in the wild, but conservation efforts have been made in the recent past.
These strange trees have been molded by Mother Nature into species of their own. Shocking, downright weird or seemingly beautiful, the trees amassed in this collection will leave you to ponder on wondrous creation the Almighty!

To know the history of frozen foods that we eat


Frozen food industry itself began to be known thanks to Clarence Birdeye. Clarence Originally inspired by the Inuit Indians who always managed to make the process of freezing fish. Clarence Birdeye

After long study, Clarence finally managed to mimic the freezing process. He also tried it with other foods, like meat, chicken, and of course fish.
Clarence remarkable discovery was welcomed by American society. Because, thanks to their findings do not bother anymore to cook. In addition, the invention Clarence step further than existing traditional clotting time. Because, by Clarence freezing produces little ice.
Conscious of his findings to positive reception, Clarence immediately tried to make a culinary adventure that became patent. After getting a patent, he then sold to food company General Foods Corporation.
Top of this achievement, Clarence Babcock Hart Award was awarded in 1949 by the Institute of Food Technologies. In 2003, his name is enshrined in the Food Engineering Hall of Fame.
Technical Pengaweta
So really, how do Clarence preservation technique? The process of preservation done in three ways. First, using a temperature slightly below room temperature and above the temperature of 15 ° C. Second, preservation with temperature 40-10 ° C, and final preservation with temperatures below 0 ° C.
Preserving the three types of low temperature process is aimed at inhibiting the growth of microorganisms causing decay and damage. However, it does not mean the use of low temperatures may inhibit its growth course. This process resulted in decreased microbial population, though still found in small quantities. This is due to protein damage of cells or an increase of microbial concentration in the cell.
Because microbes can not be destroyed entirely, it is important to properly clean the food product prior to freezing. During frozen storage, the damage was minor nutrients or not damaged at all. The decline was much smaller than storage at room temperature
Types of Food Freezing
This type of freezing is divided into two groups, namely rapid freezing (quick freezing) and slow freezing (slow freezing). Rapid freezing (quick freezing)
Products are frozen in this manner has a delicate ice crystals. When thawed, the water formed will be reabsorbed by the network of food and only a few who escaped into water droplets.
Slow freezing (slow freezing)
This process will produce ice crystals are large and sharp that would qualify as a drop of water at the time of disbursement. These water droplets will cause more nutrients and reduce wasted food nutrient content
How to Select Product Frozen?
Maybe, frozen food can be a solution for you who do not want too much trouble in cooking. But, do not easily satisfied first. You should know what this food shortage. Although durable, the frozen food product has an a time-saving equipment adau storability. So, at a certain time period the product is acceptable, whether it's color, flavor, texture, and shape. This is known as a high quality life. Usually, food containing high fat will save helpless shorter than a low-fat.
So how to determine a good choice of frozen food? When choosing, you will usually find two types of frozen food that is in the packaging and outside packaging or bulk.
You must realize, frozen packaged food has many advantages over bulk. Although it is much more expensive, frozen food packaging has better quality because the storage of these products are protected from the evaporation of water on the surface.
Conversely, if the product is stored at freezing temperatures without packaging or wrapping, will cause oxidation damage caused by activities that reduce the nutritional value of frozen products.
So, if you want to buy the bulk product, use the tool when shooting, do not come into contact with the hand. Arriving at home, immediately put in the freezer for long-lasting.
Another thing you need to look at is better not to use dry ice when carried home, and you should not buy if the product already being felt soft.
Another important factor in the freezing and storage temperature fluctuation is. If during the process of freezing temperatures fluctuate, the quality of frozen food products are also changing. For example, speckle food stored in the freezer, then transferred to the fridge, will melt and no longer durable.
Ideally, frozen foods stored at -20 ° C. books In the closet supermarket, the temperature around -10 ° C to -12 ° C. Therefore, do the shopping the frozen food products at the end before you to the cashier. Once home, immediately put into freezer
Ready Dining. There are two types of frozen food, namely ice cream and ice puter.
Bake in Advance. Pizza dough, frozen sponge cake, apple pie, and several types of croissants.
Must Fried. Donat, various nuggets, spicy rings, and french fries.
Steamed. Assorted Dimsum steamed and monitor.
Boil. Assorted meatballs, be it seafood, chicken, and beef.
Flush With Warm Water. Mix vegetables and frozen fruit such as raspberries and cranberry.Apa Frozen Product Benefits?

Processing is simpler because the product is "clean"

Ensuring availability of supplies throughout the year. With a relatively long shelf life, even seasonal products can be available throughout the year, whenever necessary.

Prices are relatively cheap, especially for seasonal products are frozen at harvest time when prices are low so prices are relatively cheap compared to fresh products.

More consistent quality

More security is assured because of frozen food in a fresh condition.

Value Nutrition and Taste
Admittedly, the freezing process will lower nutritional value than fresh ingredients, especially rich in vitamins and other components that are sensitive to processing a raw material. But there are things that draw from the findings reported from Japan.
One of his research on vitamin C content of a type of vegetable shows, the content of vitamin C due to the freezing process is higher than fresh vegetables. For taste, the results of studies of several panelists who selected shows, very few consumers are able to recognize correctly processed food made from fresh or frozen product materials. A somewhat different results with the allegations over the years, food from the frozen product memunyai lower taste of the food prepared from fresh ingredients.
It can be concluded, the type and manner of food preparation seems to be having a big hand in determining the taste of a dish ... if processing / handling exactly the quality of frozen products will be good.
In the world of food technology, namely a change of image reezeburn taste, discoloration, loss of nutrients and changes the texture of frozen food will quickly occur if food is stored at temperatures above minus 9 ° C.
To obtain the best results from a frozen food, storage temperature should be kept constant and may not be higher than minus 17 ° C, and should be followed with good packaging or packaging standards for frozen food.

Petra one of world wonders



Petra is one of the 7 new wonders of the world, located in Jordan. It can remind us just how advanced techniques and the development of human civilization past. Besides the other magnificent buildings in the world (ex: Giza pyramida, hanging garden, Pyramida mexico etc) are included in magnificent historic buildings. Petra pomp buildings, because the city was founded by chiseling stone walls. Petra comes from the Greek word meaning 'rock'. Petra is the symbol and protection techniques. Words kotanaya taken in buildings made of stones in the Wadi Araba, a bercadas in Jordan valley, the beauty of this city as founded by digging and carving the rocks as high as 40 meters.

Petra was the capital of Nabatean kingdom. Founded in 9 BC-40 AD by King Aretas IV as a city that is difficult to penetrate the enemy and secure from natural disasters such as sandstorms. Great is not?
Petra Nabatean tribes build irrigation systems are incredibly complex. There is a tunnel of water and water chambers that deliver clean water to the city, thus preventing a sudden flood. They also have hydraulic technology to lift water.
Inside the building petra There is also a theater (community hall / performance) which can accommodate 4,000 people. Today, the Palace Tomb Hellenistis who have still standing 42 meters high impressive there.
Nabatean city Tribe


Petra the lost Civillization

Have I mentioned above if this building is the city for the tribe Nabatian, a city located about 3-5 hours travel overland from Amman, Jordan, once the capital of Nabatean tribe, one family of Arab nations that lived before the entry of the Romans. Actually, the origin of Nabatean tribes not known for sure. They are known as nomadic tribe that traveled to various places with a herd of camels and sheep ..
As with most of society's belief that time, petra Society at the beginning was a pagan. Their main god is Dushara, who worshiped in the form of black stone and irregular-shaped. Dushara worshiped side by side with Allat, the goddess of the ancient Arabs.
Petra community is very adept at making underground water tank to collect clean water that can be used when they travel far. Thus, wherever they are, they can make excavation for water lines to meet their needs for clean water.

At the end of the 4th century BC, the development of world trade makes Nabatean tribe ventured to begin participating in world trade. World trade routes began to flourish in the southern part of Jordan and south of the Dead Sea. They then use their position of strategic housing as one of the world trade routes.
Nabatean tribe could eventually become a successful merchant, with the trade of incense, spices, and ivory, among others, came from Arab parts of southern and eastern India.
A strategic location to develop business and life, and secure to protect themselves from strangers that was the reason Nabatean tribes decided to settle in the area of the rock of Petra.
More advanced by this civilization that is the customs and excise levies are useful to maintain the prosperity that has been achieved, they collect customs duties and taxes to local traders or from outside the entrance to it. Nabatean tribes finally managed to create an international city a unique and unusual.
Petra initially built for defensive purposes. But lately, the city is crowded with tens of thousands of citizens that developed into a city located in the path of trade because the distribution of goods between Europe and the Middle East.

Mount Aaron's most frequently visited by people. The visitors believe, at the peak of Jabal Harun this, the Prophet Aaron died and was buried by the Prophet Moses (Moshes)

Learn a little history
In the 14th century AD, a mosque built here with a white dome visible from many areas around Petra. Aaron arrived in Jordan today when accompanied Moses brought his people out of Egypt from the pursuit of King Pharaoh.
In the 1st century BC, the Kingdom of Nabataea a rich and strong, reaching the territory of Damascus in the north and south of the Dead Sea. At that time, Petra has been inhabited about 30 thousand inhabitants. In the great temple was built.

10 losses due to lack of sleep

Did you ever feel cranky and dizzy? Maybe it's due to lack of sleep. Do not ever take for granted this state! Lack of sleep can affect your sex life, memory, health, appearance, and even make your body 'stretchy'.

Here are 10 surprising things that happen due to lack of sleep:

1. Accidents, lack of sleep is one of the biggest disasters in the history of factors other than nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island in 1979, the biggest oil spill Exxon Valdez, Chernobyl nuclear crisis in 1986, and others.

Sound excessive, but you must realize the lack of sleep also affects your safety every day on the road. Drowsiness can slow your time when you are drunk driving equivalents at the wheel.

A study by the Institute of Traffic Safety National Highway America estimates that fatigue is a cause of car accidents and 100 000 deaths occurred during the year 1500 in the U.S.. Where the victim of people under the age of 25 years.

The same study shows, if you lack sleep or have a low quality of sleep can cause accidents and injuries at work. In one study, workers who complain of excessive daytime drowsiness vulnerable injured while working and continuing the same accident at work.

2. Decreased concentration of good sleep has an important role in thinking and learning. Lack of sleep can affect many things. First, interfering with alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem-solving. This makes learning difficult and inefficient. Second, the sleep cycle at night play a role in "strengthening" of memory in the mind. If you are not getting enough sleep, you will not be able to remember what you learned and experienced during the day.

3. Serious health problems sleep disorders and chronic stages of sleep deprivation can lead you to the risk:

* Heart disease * Heart attack * Heart failure * irregular heartbeat * high blood pressure * Stroke * Diabetes

According to some studies, 90 percent of people with insomnia, sleep disorder characterized by difficulty sleeping and stayed awake all night - also experienced a similar health risk.

4. Decreased sex drive experts reported, the lack of sleep in male and female libido and reduce the urge to have sex. This is due to depleted energy, drowsiness, and rising tension.

For men who suffer from sleep apnea, respiratory problems that disrupt sleep, causing sluggish sexual arousal. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism in 2002 showed that almost all people who suffer from sleep apnea have lower levels of testosterone. And almost half of people who suffer from severe sleep apnea have a low testosterone level at night.

5. Causes depression In 1997 study, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania reported the people who sleep less than five hours per day for seven days led to stress, anger, sadness, and mental fatigue. In addition, lack of sleep and sleep disorders can cause symptoms of depression.

The most common sleep disorders, namely insomnia who have a strong association with depression. In a study in 2007 involving 10,000 people, revealed that people with insomnia five times more vulnerable to depression. In fact, insomnia is often one of the first symptoms of depression.

Insomnia and no appetite due to depression are related. Sleep deprivation exacerbates depressive symptoms and depression makes you more difficult to sleep. On the positive side, a good sleep pattern can help treat depression.

6. Affect the health of skin Most people have pale skin and puffy eyes after a few sleepless nights. The situation is really a chronic lack of sleep can lead to dull skin, fine lines on the face and dark circles under the eyes.

If you are not getting enough sleep, your body release more stress hormones or cortisol. In excessive amounts, cortisol can break down skin collagen, or proteins that keep skin smooth and elastic.

Sleep deprivation can also cause fewer body growth hormone release. When we were young, human growth hormone encourages the growth. In this case helps increase muscle mass, skin thicken, and strengthen bones.

"This occurs when the body is sleeping soundly-which we call a slow wave sleep (SWS) - growth hormone is released," said Phil Gehrman, PhD, CBSM, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Clinical Director of Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

7. Forgetfulness Do not want to forget the best memories in your life? Try to multiply sleep. In 2009, researchers from the American and French finding that the brain called the event "" sharp-wave ripples "responsible strengthen the memory in the brain. It is also transferring information from the hippocampus to the neocortex in the brain, where long-term memories are stored. Sharp wave ripples most occur during sleep.

8. Body so stretchy If you ignore the effects of sleep deprivation, be prepared with the threat of being overweight. Lack of sleep associated with increased hunger and appetite, and possibly could become obese. According to a 2004 study, people who sleep less than six hours a day, nearly 30 percent more likely to become obese than those who slept seven to nine hours a day.

Recent research has focused on the relationship between sleep and peptides that regulate appetite. Ghrelin stimulates hunger and satiety signals of leptin to the brain and stimulate the appetite. Short sleep time was associated with decreased leptin and an increase in ghrelin.

Lack of sleep not only stimulate the appetite. It also stimulates the desire to eat fatty foods and foods high in carbohydrates. The ongoing research investigates whether adequate sleep should be a standard part of a weight-loss program.

9. Increase the risk of death in the second Whitehall study, British researchers at finding out how sleep patterns affect mortality rates of more than 10,000 British civil servants over the past two decades. Based on the results of research published in 2007, those who have been sleeping less than 5-7 hours a day increased the risk of death due to various factors. Even the lack of sleep increased two-fold risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

10. Particularly damaging assessment of sleep, lack of sleep can affect the interpretation of the events. State's limp body to make we can not judge the situation accurately and wisely. Your lack of sleep is very vulnerable to a bad rating when it comes time to assess what is missing something.

In a fast paced world today, sleep habits become a kind of badge of honor. Specialists on the bed saying, you're wrong if you think you are fine despite lack of sleep because no matter where you work in any profession, will be a big problem if you can not judge things well.

"Studies show that from time to time, people who slept for six hours instead of seven or eight hours a day, began to feel that they have adapted to the circumstances lack of sleep. They're used to it," says Gehrman.

"But if you look at the results of tests of mental performance and alertness, their value continues to deteriorate. It explains how lack of sleep disturb our daily activities."
