Fisherman Saves Injured Dog Found At Sea

ForUsToBe — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:35:13 +0000

Blake Talman, a drunk driver, murdered Donna Chen and injured her dog Barney.

The accident scene was about a mile from where the fisherman found dog swimming. Our guess is that he was so freaked out and traumatized that he just wanted to get as far away from there as possible. And when he ran out of land, he took to the water.

It is a pure luck that Rory O’Connor was there fishing, because there was no place for Barney to go and we don’t know if he could have made it much farther. He’s banged up, but fine. Our hearts go out to the family who lost their mother.

Gorilla Adopts A Pair Of Kittens

ForUsToBe — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:21:34 +0000

Koko, a female western lowland gorilla, was born on July 4, 1971. She is able, according to Francine “Penny” Patterson, to understand more than 1,000 signs based on American Sign Language, and understand approximately 2,000 words of spoken English.

In this video Koko gets a return visit from the two kittens she selected from a litter of seven the week before. She’s tentatively named them “Tiger” and “Blackie” (for obvious reasons). The question is will Koko tire of the kittens or want them to stay as her permanent guests at the Gorilla Foundation. After much playing, enrichment and affection, the answer seems clear. While this does not satisfy Koko’s dearest wish which is to raise a gorilla (or other great ape) baby, it provides a loving experience for gorilla and kittens.

Poisonous Juices Demand Better FDA Control

ForUsToBe — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:34:02 +0000

Grape and apple juices are great for our health, wright? Well, wrong!

Consumer Reports conducted an investigation on arsenic levels which showed that ten percent of their samples exceeded 10 parts per billion (ppb) — the federal arsenic limit for bottled water.

There were tested 88 samples from 28 apple and three grape juices from various lots numbers that were packaged in various ways, such as ready-to-drink bottles, concentrate and juice boxes.
Previous research has shown that chronic exposure to arsenic and lead, even below the levels allowed for bottled water, can result in serious health problems. Now, the question is why The Food and Drug Administration has not announced a threshold levels for these elements in juices, as it did for water. After all, children of ages five and younger drink juice in quantities exceeding recommendations.

“People often ask me why more people do not die from arsenic, if the exposure is so harmful. I try to explain that in most cases even at the relatively low levels of exposure many diseases are likely to be increased because no one had thought to link these two things” says Ph.D. toxicologist, Joshua Hamilton .

Consumers Union requested from the FDA to set a standard for total arsenic and lead in apple and grape juice. In numbers, the standard should be three ppb for arsenic and five ppb for lead, which is set as standard for the bottled water.

True Or False: Homemade Beauty Treatments

ForUsToBe — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:06:09 +0000

There really are homemade beauty treatments that can help us and they are just a hand away.

But do all those remedies help us or are they just a bunch of baloney, continue to read and find out.

Does urine therapy help to clear up acne?

No, it doesn’t. Urine doesn’t have any antibacterial or anti-inflammatory agents. Directly from the bladder it is normally sterile. However, on its passage from the bladder to the outside world, urine becomes contaminated by bacteria normally present in the lower urethra and external genitalia. It is not an antiseptic. It will not kill infection or even fungus.

Does lemon juice make your hair brighter?

Yes it does. Lemon juice will lighten your hair if you expose yourself to sunlight. Then the sun’s UV rays will make your hair lighter.

Does tannin from black tea help with the sunburns?

Yes it does. A combination of the cool water and components of the tea (tannin) help soothe the skin and speed recovery.

Healthy nails

For healthy and stronger nails apply olive oil once a week.

Can we use olive oil for a hair growth?

No. Olive oil nourishes, conditions, and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair, but it doesn’t make it grow.

Can we use peppers for a hair growth?

Well, we do not know. Cayenne pepper has been used as a home remedie for all kinds of treatments, but we haven’t seen a study that supports this statement.

Is the hemorrhoid cream cure for puffy eyes?

Hemorrhoid cream causes the blood vessels to constrict, and the skin to tighten up. This chases the extra fluid build up out from under than delicate skin under your eyes, reducing the puffiness. But this is only a temporary fix.

Can we use mayo as a conditioner?

Well, we could. Fat and oils in mayonnaise condition damaged hair follicles, but with all that smell does it make any sense?

Do potatoes clear pimples and acne?

No they don’t. They have none of the ingredients needed to interact with them.

Does toothpaste clear pimples and acne?

The ingredients in toothpaste (menthol or alcohol) tend to dry your skin, which clears up the acne if left on the skin for a period of time. Look for a true toothpaste, not a gel. Remember, this is a temporary fix.

Homemade Beauty Treatments

Did you know that strawberries give you clean white teeth; that castor oil is good for hair growth and it gives hair its natural shine; that coconut oil hydrates skin and that lemon makes your hair brighter.

We all heard of those bizarre stories, whether from our granny or from our neighbor. But there really are homemade beauty treatments that can help us and they are just a hand away.

In fact, some celebrities like Catherine Zeta-Jones believe in those stories. But are they true? If you ask her, they are. She polishes her teeth with strawberry chunks and she keeps her hair shiny using castor oil.

Model and actress Yana Gupta doesn’t believe in any kind of soap, so she uses coconut paste.

Actress Halle Berry stimulates her skin by mixing coffee grinds into her body wash. It’s a known fact that caffeine increases circulation and reduces cellulite.

But do those homemade beauty remedies help us or are they just a bunch of baloney, continue to read and find out.

When Animals Fight Back

Unfortunately, we are often witnesses of human cruelty towards animals, but those same animals can fight back.

This video compilation shows what happens when animals fight back.

This is a rare video where we see animals presented as villains. We liked the video because it shows what happens when you mess with them. Everyone has its boiling pot

Can We Use Expired Aftershave?

ForUsToBe — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 11:34:02 +0000

Like every Friday night, a couple of my friends and I gather around and we play football (soccer) in a local sports center.

A little digression…I do not know why American football is called “foot”ball when you rarely use your feet to play this game. While in European football, your feet are main tools. And yet, this is called soccer. Go figure

To get back on the topic…friend, who works for one big cosmetic company brought a big box of aftershaves. It was like a 100 of them.

When we asked him, how come he is giving us a fortune in cosmetics, he answered: those are expired aftershaves. After that, no one dared to take one. Like it will poison them. Well, knowing a bit of chemistry I didn’t understand their fear. I mean, aftershave is nothing but a whole lot of alcohol and a bit of fragrance, which is actually some kind of an oil.

So the main question is, can alcohol or oil go bad? And if they do, what harm can they do to you?

Luckily, aftershave has a low concentration of fragrance. It’s mostly alcohol. In out of date after shave, the alcohol will preserve the fragrance for ages but the more air is in the bottle (the more it is empty) the more the fragrance might diminish.

So, over time, the fragrant oils will break down, and that process will be accelerated if the bottle is not stored in a cool and dark place, away from sunlight and heat. Colognes and perfumes, which contain more fragrance, will break down faster than aftershave.

Can We Use Expired Aftershave? Basically YES, aftershave should be discarded only when it no longer has the fragrance that you desire.
