Hiram Mills could, with reason, boast that he invested in brains not buildings. Modern-day technologies demand costly and elaborate equipment as well as scientifically-trained and highly skilled operators to use the complicated apparatus. Today Hiram Mills would be forced to admit that Massachusetts was investing wisely in both apparatus and men,
An entirely new venture of the new Station will be the laboratory for research in the hydraulics of plumbing. Engineers and plumbers will have the benefit of working with the newest -of safety fixtures and equipment which have been promised the State by the leading manufacturers of plumbing supplies. Plumbing associations will collaborate in carrying on the research and training programs,
The Lawrence Experiment Station research program will have the benefit of guidance by an advisory committee of some of the best equipped scientists of the country — who fortunately are residents of Massachusetts, thanks to its celebrated institutions of higher learning. The "going" programs, the plans for new work, and the evaluation of studies completed will all be scrutinized by the advisory committee.
The laboratory services which enabled the Division of Sanitary Engineering to carry out its functions in the protection of water supplies and streams formerly were scattered, of necessity, over several laboratories. Now all the services will be concentrated in the better equipped Experiment Station's service laboratories. Better, more complete, and more expeditious laboratory examinations may be anticipated.
These are foods to add into your diet to boost the lymphatic system:.
* Ginger / Turmeric
Both have beneficial effects on digestion and circulation; two systems that are tied directly to the processes of the lymphatic system. Also they help reduce inflammation, thin blood and improve circulation.
* Seaweed
Sea vegetables help the body detox and eliminate excess fluid that can build up in tissues and slow the lymphatic system down.
* Citrus
Citrus fruits aid hydration, carry powerful antioxidants and enzymes, and help cleanse and protect the lymphatic system.
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system where cleansing of blood, and the detoxification of our bodies takes place. A huge network of lymphatic vessels recycles blood plasma by removing fluid from the tissues, filtering it, and carrying it back into the bloodstream.
These are 10 foods to add into your diet to boost the lymphatic system:
* Water
May not be a food item, but essential to life. Drink plenty of clean, purified water. Water keeps the lymph fluid hydrated and flowing smoothly.
* Cranberry
Cranberry is an amazing emulsifier of fat which means it helps break down excess fat for the lymphatic vessels to carry away.
* Leafy greens
That green nutrient has powerful cleansing properties and beneficial effects on the blood and thus on lymph fluid as well.
* Nuts and seeds
The essential healthy fats found in seeds like chia, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado, play a role in fighting inflammation. They also strengthen our inner organs walls.
* Adaptogenic herbs
Goldenseal, Echinacea, and Astragalus are three herbsthat help alleviate inflammation and congestion of the lymph nodes and vessels.
* Garlic
Garlic boosts immune function and combats harmful microbes. It improves circulation and aids in the cleansing of toxins. It boosts the function of your lymphatic system and contains antibacterial qualities.

Non stiamo per parlare del solito carbone vegetale o le compressine di finocchio ... ma di qualcosa di più completo !! che sgonfia e sfiamma !!
Formula da 100 ml € 12.50 / 100 compresse 13.50
La formula contiene ben 11 "Erbe Officinali" contrastano la fastidiosa sensazione di gonfiore e tensione alla pancia dopo i pasti e pure quella che si avverte lontano da essi come ci raccontano i nostri clienti “ mi sento gonfia/o pur non aver mangiato nulla ”
PROPRIETA' DELLE SINGOLE PIANTE PRESENTI NEL COMPOSTO:
Malva (Malva sylvestris)Una delle piante più comuni, particolarmente apprezzata per le sue qualità benefiche tradizionalmente riconosciute. È da sempre utilizzata per le proprietà emollienti e saggiamente impiegata nella tradizione erboristica come protettore degli epiteli dell'apparato digerente e respiratorio. L'associazione con le altre piante ne potenzia l'effetto lenitivo e digestivo, tale da ottenere un prodotto di straordinaria efficacia. È il risultato di una lunga esperienza maturata in campo che ha portato ad una formulazione in cui ogni pianta è stata attentamente scelta e dosata al fine di ottenere un piacevole effetto sgonfiante eliminando quei fastidiosi disturbi gastrointestinali.
Altea (Althaea officinalis L.)Malvacea tipica delle piante paludose, con foglie grandi verdi e fiori bianchi o rosei in giugno. Le sue radici color avorio, se tagliate grondano di mucillagine (fino al 35% in peso), una mucillagine calda, così come la definisce il Mattioli, è capace di esplicare un effetto lenitivo ed emolliente sulle mucose arrossate dello stomaco e intestino tale da alleviare quei fastidiosi disturbi post-prandiali come bruciori e gonfiori.
Melissa (Melissa officinalis L.) Ha un gradito odore fruttato di limone e geranio, viene coltivata per trarne il preziosissimo olio essenziale. L'acqua della distillazione è l'ingrediente base dell'Acqua Antiisterica dei Carmelitani, rimedio dei secoli passati per gli stati di agitazione. Le aldeidi aromatiche e l'acido rosmarinico sono le sostanze ritenute attive con azione distensiva e calmante importante nei disturbi a carico dell'apparato gastro intestinale.
Finocchio (Foeniculum vulgare L.) Ortaggio e spezia nota sin dall'antichità, il finocchio è un'ombrellifera bienne o perenne tipica di tutta l'area del mediterraneo. Delle varietà da seme (frutto) se ne conoscono tipi dolci annuali, coltivati in Iran, Turchia e Nord Africa e tipi amari o piccanti poliennali, coltivati nei Balcani e in Russia. La differenza sta nel rapporto tra l'anetolo (dolce) e il fencone. Si aggiunge a cibi e tisane per le proprietà carminative ossia capaci di eliminare i gas intestinali.
Coriandolo (Coriandrum sativum L.) Questa piccola ombrellifera annuale originaria del Medio Oriente, sembra sia stata diffusa in Europa dai Saraceni che la utilizzavano per condire il "cous cous". Si usano sia le foglie fresche, che i frutti essiccati dalla curiosa forma perfettamente sferica. È una spezia tipica della cucina araba e ispanica dove aggiunta ai cibi "riscaldanti" è reputata avere un'azione digestiva e carminativa.
Escolzia (Eschscholtzia californica Cham.) Nota come papavero della California, l'escolzia è una pianta erbacea le cui radici estratte dal suolo, sembrano sanguinare un succo denso di colore rosso. La linfa infatti è ricchissima di alcaloidi (protopina, chelidonina, etc.) responsabili delle azioni distensive e rilassanti anche a livello muscolare,tali da alleviare quelle tensioni che somatizzate, sono responsabili di disturbi addominali. L'escolzia agisce pertanto sulla componente psicosomatica associata a tali disturbi.
Carvi (Carum carvi L.) Il carvi o cumino dei prati è un'ombrellifera bienne spontanea nelle Alpi. Il frutto è allungato e costoluto e contiene piccoli accumuli di olio essenziale, responsabile dell'aroma. L'olio essenziale è ricco in carvone. In Nord Europa il carvi è una spezia tradizionale abbinata per le sue proprietà carminative a cibi invernali, come fagioli, cavoli e carne suina. Si associa alle altre piante carminative in modo da esaltare e potenziare le proprietà di eliminazione dei gonfiori intestinali.
Timo (Thymus vulgaris L.) Pianta semilegnosa perenne, la si rinviene spontanea nelle steppe del mediterraneo. Da sempre è una delle piante base coltivate nell'hortus simplicium, amato per la sua versatilità d'uso, da pianta da cucina fino a vero e proprio medicamento. Contiene oli essenziali ricchi in fenoli con azione batteriostatica e glicosidi flavonici. Per le sue proprietà antisettiche esplica un effetto disinfettante a livello intestinale tale da proteggerlo da fenomeni irritativi legati alla presenza di germi indesiderati.
Angelica (Angelica archangelica L.) Ombrellifera imponente, si rende visibile a luglio per le sue grandi ombrelle bianchissime e il fusto cavo alto fino a 2 m. È una pianta bienne del Nord Europa che vive vicino ai corsi d'acqua. Se ne usa il rizoma essiccato dal profumo aromatico e dolce, utilizzato in liquoreria. L'aroma è dato da un mix di cumarine e terpeni che rendono questa pianta ricca di funzioni fisiologiche particolarmente utili per alleviare quei fastidiosi disturbi a livello intestinale.
Mirtillo (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) Arbusto nano che cresce nelle zone a clima fresco umido di tutta Europa. Il frutto di colore blu di prussia è una bacca carnosa dal sapore dolciastro e leggermente astringente nella cui polpa troviamo una grande abbondanza di sostanze attive: tannini e antociani, responsabili a livello intestinale di ridurre fenomeni putrefattivi, attenuare tensioni e gonfiori e migliorare l' assorbimento dei nutrienti.

Thunder Muffins
This is inspired by my sister-in-law, who used to make Thunder Cakes from All-Bran. I have gone one step further by adding to prunes to it too, to help with ..... erm .... digestion. No points for guessing how this dish got its name.
You may not want to add any sweetener as the prunes are quite sweet in themselves. The muffins are not completely syn free, but at only quarter of a syn for the 12 of them, it is hardly worth mentioning.
The muffins come out really quite moist and gooey, especially if eaten while still warm. I am sure you do not want to be kept informed if they have the desired effect.
Makes 12 muffins
Six of the Cakes are Syn Free on Original Days*
*Providing you use the cooked prunes AND the All-Bran as your two Healthy Extra Bs
70g All Bran
1 tub fat free natural plain yogurt
sweetener to taste
2 tsp cinnamon
250g ready to eat pitted prunes, chopped
2 eggs, separated
½ tsp baking powder
Soak the All-Bran with the yogurt, around half a cup of water and the cinnamon and sweetener if using, for a couple of hours or more. Stir well – the mixture should be mushy.
Whip the egg whites until stiff. Whisk the yolks with the baking powder, then stir in the All-Bran mix and chopped prunes. Gently fold into the egg whites, and spoon into 12 greased muffin cases. Bake at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.

Another beautiful clear blue day, Easter Saturday and a plan in place, a 12.30pm visit to Ascott NT to see the daffodils with Jane. A normal morning with a slow rising, Jane up before. I made a big batch of apple and plum before my muesli but left the other Bramley for a crumble for supper. Around 11.30am I get out the Golf from the garage and check the trap for more mice but for a change nothing today. I got some vegetables out for supper and around 11.50am we set off. It was already very busy at Ascott and as usual Jane wanted a coffee and sausage roll to get her digestion moving etc. We chat with a couple who share our table. They have an energetic nearly 2 year old called Kaydon?
Setting off round the garden we go over to say hello to several horses and see a Red Kite on the ground just behind. Magnificent bird looking very Aquiline as it strutted about. I think we had timed out visit a few days later than before as many of the daffs were over so the overall effect was not quite as staggering but still enough to please. Although sunny there was a cool edge to it and there were very few insects but several birds calling, notably an army of Chiff Chaffs. The star of the gardens were the numerous Magnolia and cherry blossom but the big bare trees, gaunt and tall were impressive in this equinal light against a blue sky. We went down into the daffodil arboretum and along westwards to the far boundary then through the sheltered formal garden with beds and fountain where the display of hyacinths was stunning. Just before that in a quiet dead end full of Narcissus poeticus Jane had to have a cigarette. At the end of the formal area the steps out were too tricky for Jane so we used the wheelchair route but in so doing came on a gap in the yew hedge through was another view of the magnolias etc. Here I saw a couple from Hong Kong who I used their iPhone to take their photo against a magnolia backdrop. Jane in her usual impatient manner had wandered off back to our earlier path and I had to retrieve her to the gap and then via the long path along behind the magnificent main house where I just had to make a final panoramic shot. Back at the cafe, after selecting our drinks and sponge cakes ( chocolate Jane.zucchini & lime me) that I collected etc Jane found a table to sit that this time we had to ourselves. As we left the car park there was still a steady queue coming in and it was tricky exiting onto the main road but eventually a driver from Wing direction let us out.

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Arachnida
Order: Araneae
Family: Theraphosidae
Genus/species: Brachypelma smithi
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: The body and legs are dark brown with orange-red leg joints. The ends of the legs can detect vibrations, smells and tastes, to help the tarantula locate prey and the opposite sex, although it also has a group of eight eyes on the top of the carapace.
Length up to 14 cm
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Found in in dry areas with little vegetation, usually in scrubland, deserts, dry thorn forests, or tropical deciduous forests along the central Pacific coast of Mexico.
DIET IN THE WILD: Hunting at night by lying in ambush, the Mexican redknee tarantula attacks insects, small frogs, small lizards, and mice. An area on the end of each leg is sensitive to smells, tastes and vibrations, and this is used to detect prey. The tarantula holds its prey with its pedipalps (front limbs) and injects it with venom delivered via two hollow fangs. This venom has a double purpose, paralysing the prey as well as beginning digestion. Once the venom has acted, the tarantula is able to suck up the proteins and fats of its prey, leaving just a small ball of undigested body parts
REPRODUCTION: Mating occurs in or near to the female's burrow, where the male uses his pedipalps (front limbs) to transfer his sperm into openings in the underside of the female's abdomen. After mating, some females will try to kill and eat the male. In the spring, the female deposits hundreds of eggs and the sperm onto a silk mat which she has made and then fashions this mat into a ball or egg sac. Fertilization takes place within minutes and the spiderlings hatch in just less than three months. Once out of the egg-sac they spend two weeks in the burrow before dispersing. Males mature at about four years of age and females two to three years later at about six or seven years old. They are a long-lived species with females living up to 25 to 30 years old, however males only live about one year after maturity.
REMARKS: This usually docile tarantula will kick hairs off the abdomen with its hind legs when threatened, which cause blindness if they hit the eyes of a predator and can also cause a rash on the skin.

According to this ad, Primo Beer helps you sleep!
The Honolulu Brewing & Malting Company started in 1897 or 1898 and offered Primo Lager for beer drinkers to enjoy in Hawaii. Currently, Pabst Brewing Company owns what is now known as Primo Brewing Company, and the beer is still packaged a brown bottle.
Drinking beer is probably not the healthiest habit. However, in the 1900s a lot of people thought beer was good for you. Primo Beer ads in Hawaii newspapers touted the health benefits of Primo Beer.
Read our historical feature article, "Primo Beer's Supposed Health Benefits," in the following link:
sites.google.com/a/hawaii.edu/ndnp-hawaii/Home/historical...
Ad text: "Steady aim depends upon steady nerves and brain, and you can't have them if your rest if fitful and broken.
"Good sleep is the result of perfect digestion. In fact, health itself is vitally dependent upon good digestion.
"Perfect digestion and sound, restful sleep are assured those who habitually use Primo Beer as a table beverage. It aids the digestion, soothes tired nerves, and acts as a general tonic.
Eco-friendly Midlands Co-op supermarket at Oakham, Rutland- they harvest rainwater, use special refidgeration units which use a lot less power (and use the by-product heat to warm the building), gross grass on the roof to insulate, use computer controlled ventilation (all natural where possible), even the lighting is automatic and only operates when needed (computers monitor light levels and open/close blinds on the windows where needed).
View from the roof through one of the skylights used to provide natural lighting
Part of a trip organised by the Co-operative party and Midlands Co-op, visiting Oakham store and the Biogen Anaerobic digestion plant at Westwood, Northants
Very cool, very loud.
1600 HP, 20 cylinder, methane-powered Caterpillar engines generate electricity burning methane created by anaerobic digestion of organic wastes in the landfill.
Gas is extracted from ~150' below the mounds and piped almost directly to these engines. Gas is dried by condensing out as much water as possible. Gas contains about 50% methane the rest mostly CO2. Some sulfur and nitrogen compounds are present and drying must be done to minimize formation of acids (esp. H2SO4) during the combustion process. Slightly higher levels of NO are put out because nitrogen compounds are not removed. Forgot to ask whether they had catalytic converters on these engines.
I forgot the actual generation capabilities that the engineer cited, but Modern Landfill apparently could completely power their operations without using any electricity from the grid (I.E. National Grid's power), and in fact could put more back in.
However a law - obviously created to decrease competition - would force them to pay heavy charges if they disconnected completely from the grid. The charge is for the power lines that they WOULD NOT be using, but were installed none-the-less! And people wonder why NYS scares away business. Can we say "bass ackward"
The waste heat from these engines is pumped over to the greenhouses to grow the tomatoes.
I don't eat while I'm working. Digestion slows me down. It's part of the reason why I've never written anything longer than a short story. The lengthiest thing I ever wrote took me all the hours from dawn to dusk, and I was pretty hungry by the end of it.
Perhaps that's a necessity of creating. Hunger, I mean. It really helps to keep the eye moving, brain buzzing, imagination imagining. If you need a reward at the end of it all, a meal will do nicely.
I find it hard to do anything on a full stomach. Any physical activity, passionate or pleasurable, heavy work or light sleep, is weighed down by food and water. I prefer to give up completely after eating. I know that there's unlikely to be any coming back. I love food, but I try not to confuse it with life.
There's always been a difference for me between living and a reason for living. At my most alive, I think little of living. At my most depressed, I think of little else. It gets easy to eat and sleep, do chores, run errands, surrender to life. When my mind is awake, when my heart is pounding, all menial things fall by the wayside. As if some shapeless muse comes up to enrapture me, I lose sight of all responsibility.
So I don't eat while I'm working, when I'm writing, too soon before expressions of passion. I want all my energy for the feeling I'm feeling, so that my soul won't let my body get in the way. In this way, I justify being.

As we become more seasoned, our digestion plunges and increasingly fat starts to aggregate around our waistline, giving us that 'extra tire'! Be that as it may, disposing of midsection fat isn't just about appearances. Studies state that individuals with an enormous waist are 2.75 occasions bound to pass on of coronary illness, regardless of whether they are inside a sound weight territory. The fat put away in your tummy locale is more hazardous than the fat put away in the remainder of your body. It builds awful LDL cholesterol, disturbs your glucose, expands your circulatory strain and your danger of having a cardiovascular failure. So, having that extra tire is more hazardous than just being overweight!
