Organic olives are used in the production and many people say that the taste is superior to non organic olive oil. Olives are typically grown in the Mediterranean, with its hot dry summers and cool winters it is the ideal habitat of the olive tree. Olive oil is the oil obtained from the fruit of the olive tree in a mechanical manner. The liquid is pressed out of the olives. Organic olive oils are often picked and crushed by large stone rollers without the use of any mechanical machinery or unnatural processes. Expensive virgin oil is sometimes labelled in a way that you can trace exactly where the oil has come from. The bottle and tin can be numbered and this enables the buyer to identify from which trees the olive oil of each individual container came from.
As well as organic oil, fairtrade oil is increasingly available. The Fairtrade principal involves democratic organisation where producers have maximum control over their land and are often formed into co-operatives. Trade Unions are allowed, no child labour is used in the production and a decent wage is paid to the workers that pick the olives and produce the oil. The Fairtrade Mark means that a social premium is paid on the product which doesnt go to the individuals, it goes to the organisation or communities for development projects such as health, education and sanitation.
One producer of Fairtrade Organic Olive Oil is Zaytoun
Zaytoun is the UKs first volunteer non-profit project to import fair trade palestinian organic olive oil to the UK.
The oil is imported from farmers worse hit by the current political crisis in Palestine.
The agricultural economy, which is one of the major arteries of the Palestinian economy, has been significantly damaged due to the continuing conflict with Isreal.
65% of Palestinian families live in rural areas and are connected to agriculture in some form.
Rural livelihoods have been desimated through the confiscation of land, uprooting of trees, controlling of water sources, denying access to land and the lack of access to markets in Isreal and abroad.
Zaytoun attempts to seek a practical means of assisting the Palestinian People by providing consumers with something we use at least once a week, cooking oil!
Did you know that you can also buy olive based beauty care products such as soap? Olives have long since been known to hold the secret of youthful vitality.

Party Jokes: Startling But Unnecessary
Here, I focus on a range of items and features that we use in life without giving them a second thought such as Coca Cola, body muscles and holding ones own breath. Though, most of these notes are not fundamentally necessary, they are such that you can use them for a good laugh, at a drinks party or for picking up women or men.
1) Coca-Cola: Did you know that its original colour was green?
2) Mohammed: Did you know that this is the most used name in the entire world?
3) Geographical Letters: Did you know that the name of each of the continents begins and concludes with the exact same alphabet? Do not believe that? Look up Asia, Europe, Africa, America, Antarctica and the rest.
4) Muscle Strength: Did you know that the strongest muscle in the entire body is that one which we use to lick a popsicle? Your tongue.
5) Credit Cards: In the United States, were you aware that each and every person has at least two credit cards?
6) An Antique Machine: The word for an old machine that was once used for writing letters and other documents is the largest word that one can make if they click only on a single row of their computer's keyboard: typewriter!
7) Blink: Men wink at women, but research has found out that the average woman blinks nearly two times more than the average man.
8) Suicide: Even though you might have wondered if it was possible, studies have discovered that it is impossible to kill oneself by simply holding in your breath.
9) Licking: However much you may try, you will never be able to lick your elbows.
10) Sneeze: Try sneezing. People will automatically answer you with a bless you greeting. Have you ever imagined why? Some say that this happens because a sneeze stops the functioning of the heart for a very tiny second.
11) The Blue Sky: Did you know that a pig, no matter how much they try, cannot look up into the sky?
12) Twisting Your Tongue: We have all dabbled with different tongue-twisters in our day. But do you know which is the toughest? Sixth sick sheiks sixth sheeps sick.
13) Ribs: Did you know that you should try not to sneeze too strongly. Why? A very powerful sneeze has the ability to cause a fracture in your ribcage. But, then again, if you try and withhold one, you stand the chance of breaking one of the many blood vessels in your neck or head. This could cause death.
14) Cards: Did you think that the Kings are all just random cards referring to random figures? No. Each one signifies a different king: Diamonds for Julius Caesar, Clubs for Alexander the Great, Spades for David and Hearts for Charlemagne.
15) And finally: Most everyone reading this (Caught You!) are trying to lick their elbows at this exact moment!
Conclusion: Most of these are not scientific facts, but they are hilarious, funny and can be used to lighten up the ambience when a conversation has gone dull. Use any and see your popularity rise up to great heights.Visit http://www.gambling-portal.com for more jokes.

Global Temperatures Expected To Rebound
Until recently, global temperatures were more than a degree Fahrenheit warmer when compared to the overall 20th Century mean. From August of 2007 through February of 2008, the Earth’s mean reading dropped to near the 200-year average temperature of 57 degrees.
We, Cliff Harris and Randy Mann, believe that the warming and even the cooling of global temperatures are the result of long-term climatic cycles, solar activity, sea-surface temperature patterns and more. However, Mankind’s activities of the burning of fossil fuels, massive deforestations, the replacing of grassy surfaces with asphalt and concrete, the ‘Urban Heat Island Effect,’ are making conditions ‘worse’ and this will ultimately enhance the Earth’s warming process down the meteorological roadway in the next several decades.
From the late 1940s through the early 1970s, a climate research organization called the Weather Science Foundation of Crystal Lake, Illinois, determined that the planet’s warm, cold, wet and dry periods were the result of alternating short-term and long-term climatic cycles. These researchers and scientists also concluded that the Earth’s ever-changing climate likewise has influenced global and regional economies, human and animal migrations, science, religion and the arts as well as shifting forms of government and strength of leadership.
Much of this data was based upon thousands of hours of research done by Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler and his associates during the 1930s and 1940s at Kansas State University. Dr. Wheeler was well-known for his discovery of various climate cycles, including his highly-regarded ‘510-Year Drought Clock’ that he detailed at the end of the ‘Dust Bowl’ era in the late 1930s.
During the early 1970s, our planet was in the midst of a colder and drier weather cycle. Inflationary recessions and oil shortages led to rationing and long gas lines at service stations worldwide. The situation at that time was far worse than it is now, at least for the time being.
The Weather Science Foundation also predicted, based on these various climate cycles, that our planet would turn much warmer and wetter by the early 2000s, resulting in general global prosperity. They also said that we would be seeing at this time widespread weather ‘extremes.’ There’s little doubt that most of their early predictions came true.
Our recent decline in the Earth’s temperature may be a combination of both long-term and short-term climate cycles, decreased solar activity and the development of a strong long-lasting La Nina, the current cooler than normal sea-surface temperature event in the south-central Pacific Ocean. Sunspot activity in the past 18 months has decreased the lowest levels since ‘The Little Ice Age’ ended in the mid-to late 1800s. This "cool spell," though, may only be a brief interruption to the Earth’s overall warming trend. Only time will tell.
Based on these predictions, it appears that much warmer readings may be expected for Planet Earth, especially by the 2030s, that will eventually top 1998's global highest reading of 58.3 degrees. It’s quite possible we could see an average temperature in the low 60s. Until then, this ‘cooling period’ may last from just a few months to as long as several years, especially if sunspot activity remains very low.
We at Harris-Mann Climatology, www.LongRangeWeather.com, believe that our prolonged cycle of wide weather ‘extremes,’ the worst in at least 1,000 years, will continue and perhaps become even more severe, especially by the mid 2010s. We should see more powerful storms, including major hurricanes and increasing deadly tornadoes. There will likewise be widespread flooding, crop-destroying droughts and freezes and violent weather of all types including ice storms, large-sized hail and torrential downpours.
We are already seeing on virtually every continent an almost Biblical weather scenario of increasing droughts and floods. In both the southwestern and southeastern corners of the U.S, there are severe water shortage problems associated with chronic long-term dryness. In some cases, the water deficits are the worst in at least 400 years.
Dr. Wheeler also discovered that approximately every 102 years, a much warmer and drier climatic cycle affects our planet. The last such ‘warm and dry’ peak occurred in 1936, at the end of the infamous ‘Dust Bowl’ period. During that time, extreme heat and dryness, combined with a multitude of problems during the ‘Great Depression,’ made living conditions practically intolerable.
The next ‘warm and dry’ climatic phase is scheduled to arrive in the early 2030s, probably peaking around 2038. It is expected to produce even hotter and drier weather patterns than we saw during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
But, we should remember, that the Earth’s coldest periods have usually followed excessive warmth. Such was the case when our planet moved from the Medieval Warm Period between 900 and 1300 A.D. to the sudden ‘Little Ice Age,’ which peaked in the 17th Century.
By the end of this 21st Century, a big cool down may occur that could ultimately lead to expanding glaciers worldwide, even in the mid-latitudes. We could possibly see even a new Great Ice Age. Based on long-term climatic data, these major ice ages have recurred about every 11,500 years. Well, you guessed it. The last extensive ice age was approximately 11,500 years ago, so we may be due. Again, only time will tell.

Biotechnology - An Applied Sciences
The concept encompasses a wider range and history of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants and "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization. By comparison to biotechnology, bioengineering is generally thought of as a related field with its emphasis more on mechanical and higher systems approaches to interfacing with and exploiting living things.
HISTORY
Although not normally thought of as biotechnology, agriculture clearly fits the broad definition of "using a biological system to make products" such that the cultivation of plants may be viewed as the earliest biotechnological enterprise. Agriculture has been theorized to have become the dominant way of producing food since the Neolithic Revolution. The processes and methods of agriculture have been refined by other mechanical and biological sciences since its inception. Through early biotechnology, farmers were able to select the best suited and highest-yield crops to produce enough food to support a growing population. Other uses of biotechnology were required as crops and fields became increasingly large and difficult to maintain. Specific organisms and organism by-products were used to fertilise restore nitrogen, and control pests. Throughout the use of agriculture, farmers have inadvertently altered the genetics of their crops through introducing them to new environments and breeding them with other plants—one of the first forms of biotechnology. Cultures such as those in , Egypt, and Indiadeveloped the process of brewing beer. It is still done by the same basic method of using malted grains (containing enzymes) to convert starch from grains into sugar and then adding specific yeasts to produce beer. In this process the carbohydrates in the grains were broken down into alcohols such as ethanol. Ancient Indians also used the juices of the plant Epheda and used to call it soma
APPLICATIONS
Biotechnology has applications in four major industrial areas, including health care (medical), crop production and agriculture, non food (industrial) uses of crops and other products (e.g.biofuels), and environmental uses.
For example, one application of biotechnology is the directed use of organism for the manufacture of organic products (examples include beer and milk products). Another example is using naturally present bacteria by the mining industry in bioleaching. Biotechnology is also used to recycle, treat waste, clean up sites contaminated by industrial activities (bioremediation), and also to produce bioloical weapons.
A series of derived terms have been coined to identify several branches of biotechnology, for example:

- Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field which addresses biological problems using computational techniques, and makes the rapid organization and analysis of biological data possible. The field may also be referred to as computational biology, and can be defined as, "conceptualizing biology in terms of molecules and then applying informatics techniques to understand and organize the information associated with these molecules, on a large scale."Bioinformatics plays a key role in various areas, such as proteomics and genomicsand forms a key component in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector.
- Blue biotechnology is a term that has been used to describe the marine and aquatic applications of biotechnology, but its use is relatively rare.
- Green biotechnology is biotechnology applied to agriculture processes. An example would be the selection and domestication of plants via micropropagation. Another example is the designing of transgenic plants to grow under specific environments in the presence (or absence) of chemicals. One hope is that green biotechnology might produce more environmentally friendly solutions than traditional industrial agriculture. An example of this is the engineering of a plant to express a pesticide, thereby ending the need of external application of pesticides. An example of this would be Bt corn Whether or not green biotechnology products such as this are ultimately more environmentally friendly is a topic of considerable debate.
- Red biotechnology is applied to medical processes. Some examples are the designing of organisms to produce antibiotics and the engineering of genetic cures through genetic manupulation
- White Biotechnology, also known as industrial biotechnology, is biotechnology applied to industrial processes. An example is the designing of an organism to produce a useful chemical. Another example is the using of enzymes as industrial catalysts to either produce valuable chemicals or destroy hazardous/polluting chemicals. White biotechnology tends to consume less in resources than traditional processes used to produce industrial goods.The investment and economic output of all of these types of applied biotechnologies is termed as bioeconomy

Insomnia Fatigue Cure Insomnia Fatigue Cure
Insomnia is commonly described as an inability to sleep, but actually insomnia encompasses much more than that. Irregular sleep patterns, over sleeping, sleeping at the wrong times and not being able to sleep are all symptoms of an insomnia disorder. Insomnia fatigue is the left over effect of these irregular rest patterns and insomnia fatigue can be almost impossible to function with. But there is hope. If you are struggling with how to get a good night sleep and are looking for a fatigue cure, here is some helpful information.
Insomnia Symptoms
Most people know that people suffering from insomnia may not be able to fall asleep. But oftentimes these people also suffer from agitated sleep patterns. They wake up in the middle of the night regularly and can’t get back to sleep. Or they wake up too early in the morning, almost as if they’re biological clock is off schedule. If you have any of these insomnia symptoms, they can really drag you down. Insomnia can affect you mentally and physically and prolonged periods of sleep troubles can make you feel unable to function during the day at all. You might find yourself noticing insomnia symptoms such as fatigue, depression and easy irritation. It can also make it hard to concentrate.
Insomnia Fatigue
Unfortunately one of the most troubling side effects of these kinds of sleep problems is insomnia fatigue. Insomnia fatigue is fatigue that continues on throughout the day. If you’re finding yourself falling asleep at your desk, needing caffeine to get through the afternoon, or barely able to drive during mid-day because you’re so tired, you may be suffering from insomnia fatigue and you should do the following things to improve your sleep habits.
1) Go to bed at the same time every day. That “internal clock” that people like to joke about isn’t so funny after all. Teach your body that bed time is the same time every night and it will be more likely to adjust to it.
2) Don’t read or watch TV while you’re in bed. Not only do those things become a distraction from sleep, but also by keeping the bed for sleep only you will again train your body that when you’re in bed, its time for sleep.
3) Try drinking herbal tea without honey or sugar before bed. Chamomile blend teas can be encourage relaxation of the body and get you ready for bed. Be sure to go lay down immediately after you’ve finished your tea.
4) If you can’t fall asleep, don’t watch TV. Instead, get up fro bed and go sit in another quiet room for a while. Stimulating yourself with TV, radio or other activity won’t encourage sleep but will hinder it.
5) Create a routine at bed time. Just like the place you sleep and the time you sleep, you can train your body that when you complete certain steps its time for bed. For example, perhaps you take a warm bath immediately prior to bed. Whatever you do, try to do the same pattern for ten to fifteen minutes before bed.
6) Make your bedroom as quiet as possible, and dark. Hang dark blinds over your windows and try sleeping with ear plugs if needed.
7) Consider sleeping to soothing, repetitive audio sounds such as a waterfall or rain falling.
If none of the above suggestions help you see improved sleep habits, you should consult your doctor. He or she may prescribe a sleep aid or suggest something over the counter. Remember that sleep aids are not meant to be taken for long periods of time and can become habit forming. Also, don’t drink alcohol when using prescription of over the counter sleep aids.
Fatigue Cure
It my take time to completely restore your sleep pattern if you’ve suffered from insomnia, particularly if you are under stress. Some people are unable to get themselves in the sleep pattern of getting seven to eight hours of sleep. Even slightly irregular sleep patterns such as interrupted sleep or trouble falling asleep can cause fatigue during the next day. There are lots of fatigue cures to help you manage this fatigue. Here are a few:
Naps: This might sound like a no-brainer. If you’re tired, then take a nap. However, if you’re having insomnia symptoms then naps may only agitate those symptoms. If you are able to nap during the day, test to make sure your sleep problems don’t actually worsen instead of getting better.
Exercise: Adding healthy activity to your daily routine will help to improve your sleep pattern in a variety of ways. Being unfit can reduce energy levels and create feelings of depression. Exercise does not require an expensive gym membership or even a lot of time. Adding a 20 minute walk to your daily activity and weekend bike rides is a great fatigue cure because even this small amount of physical activity helps to release endorphins which is known to improve cognitive functioning and elevate mood states.
Avoid alcohol and drugs: Although you may find what seems like temporary relief to sleep problems by drinking alcohol or using drugs, in the long term these things will only heighten your insomnia and lead to worsened fatigue.
Supplements: Adding a supplement to your daily routine, which triggers the creation of enzymes to eliminate free radical molecules in your body is known to help eliminate fatigue. Protandim is one that works because it decreases oxidative stress, the main cause of free radicals in the body.

2) Don’t read or watch TV while you’re in bed. Not only do those things become a distraction from sleep, but also by keeping the bed for sleep only you will again train your body that when you’re in bed, its time for sleep.
3) Try drinking herbal tea without honey or sugar before bed. Chamomile blend teas can be encourage relaxation of the body and get you ready for bed. Be sure to go lay down immediately after you’ve finished your tea.
4) If you can’t fall asleep, don’t watch TV. Instead, get up fro bed and go sit in another quiet room for a while. Stimulating yourself with TV, radio or other activity won’t encourage sleep but will hinder it.
5) Create a routine at bed time. Just like the place you sleep and the time you sleep, you can train your body that when you complete certain steps its time for bed. For example, perhaps you take a warm bath immediately prior to bed. Whatever you do, try to do the same pattern for ten to fifteen minutes before bed.
6) Make your bedroom as quiet as possible, and dark. Hang dark blinds over your windows and try sleeping with ear plugs if needed.
7) Consider sleeping to soothing, repetitive audio sounds such as a waterfall or rain falling.
If none of the above suggestions help you see improved sleep habits, you should consult your doctor. He or she may prescribe a sleep aid or suggest something over the counter. Remember that sleep aids are not meant to be taken for long periods of time and can become habit forming. Also, don’t drink alcohol when using prescription of over the counter sleep aids.
Fatigue Cure
It my take time to completely restore your sleep pattern if you’ve suffered from insomnia, particularly if you are under stress. Some people are unable to get themselves in the sleep pattern of getting seven to eight hours of sleep. Even slightly irregular sleep patterns such as interrupted sleep or trouble falling asleep can cause fatigue during the next day. There are lots of fatigue cures to help you manage this fatigue. Here are a few:
Naps: This might sound like a no-brainer. If you’re tired, then take a nap. However, if you’re having insomnia symptoms then naps may only agitate those symptoms. If you are able to nap during the day, test to make sure your sleep problems don’t actually worsen instead of getting better.
Exercise: Adding healthy activity to your daily routine will help to improve your sleep pattern in a variety of ways. Being unfit can reduce energy levels and create feelings of depression. Exercise does not require an expensive gym membership or even a lot of time. Adding a 20 minute walk to your daily activity and weekend bike rides is a great fatigue cure because even this small amount of physical activity helps to release endorphins which is known to improve cognitive functioning and elevate mood states.
Avoid alcohol and drugs: Although you may find what seems like temporary relief to sleep problems by drinking alcohol or using drugs, in the long term these things will only heighten your insomnia and lead to worsened fatigue.
Supplements: Adding a supplement to your daily routine, which triggers the creation of enzymes to eliminate free radical molecules in your body is known to help eliminate fatigue. Protandim is one that works because it decreases oxidative stress, the main cause of free radicals in the body.

How to Care for Aquarium Catfish
Catfish are common fish found in freshwater aquariums. Catfish are very unique and differ from other fish in regards to their health and care. The most distinguishing feature of a catfish is the prominent "barbells", which look like whiskers on a cat, hence giving these one of a kind fish their name. The other thing that set catfish apart from any other fish is the fact that they have no scales. They also possess a strong, hollow ray on their fins that a stinging protein can be emitted from if the fish is irritated or in danger.
The most common catfish found in aquariums are the armored catfish. This group is smaller in size than other types of catfish and make a great addition to an aquarium. When you are setting up your tank initially, it is best to decide then whether you are going to house catfish. Your decision will impact the type of gravel or sand you will use as well as the pH of the water within the tank. Armored catfish prefer soft bottom material because they forage for food within the substrate. Catfish feel more secure when they are hidden from the light, so be sure to have caves and hiding places for this type of fish.
Overall, the care of catfish does not vary from caring for your other fish. You should try to include a food that will settle on the bottom of the tank as these fish are bottom feeders. The water should have a temperature in the middle to upper seventies and the pH should be neutral. This is usually the same set up and water balance you will use to house other fish as well, so it should not be a major concern when you add your catfish.
Catfish are known to be somewhat goofy and comical, but this may depend on the species of catfish you have. Their behavior will vary, but as a whole, the catfish is an entertaining addition to an aquarium. There are group and schooling catfish that get along well with each other. There are also loners who always stay away from their neighbors. Catfishes are the ideal candidates for community tanks because they inhabit niches and shelters on the bottom not occupied by other aquarium inhabitants. They generally get along well with all types of fish. Only in combination with some larger Cichlids can there be a problem as the Cichlids tend to extend their territorial claim to the entire tank.
The one thing to consider before adding a catfish to your existing aquarium set-up is the size of the other fish. While catfish generally get along with most fish, they are a predator and will attack and feed on smaller fish. Catfish are also nocturnal, and should be fed later in the day or at night. You may have to adjust the feeding times depending on what your schedule is now and what other types of fish inhabit the tank. With the number of species of Armored catfish, you will be sure to have a colorful and amusing aquarium with the addition of these comical fish. As with all fish, be sure to keep the aquarium clean and healthy so as to ensure the health of the fish as well as your enjoyment for years to come.
