shared by Uma Shankari on 24 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • Nicknamed the “Toy Train”, the train is powered by a steam engine and runs on a track made narrow to help the train go through safely the sharp turns of the hills.
  • The train runs on a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow-gauge railway, going from an elevation of 100 m (328 ft) at Siliguri to about 2,200 m (7,218 ft) at Darjeeling. As the line had to overcome an ascent of 7,000 ft. in less than fifty miles, it has a series of zig zags and loops to gain height.
  • Uma Shankari on 24 Aug 12
     
    "The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is a line so close to the people that it flows like a river through their lives. The line runs on roads that pass through markets and village main streets! "

Vitamin D: The Sunshine Vitamin | Healthmad - 0 views

shared by Uma Shankari on 21 Nov 11 - No Cached
  • When ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the skin of our bodies, the skin cells in our body called keratinocytes trigger vitamin D synthesis. The endogenously made as well as vitamin D obtained from food are biologically inert (called vitamin D3). D3 is the major circulating form of Vitamin D and is what gets measured in the lab tests. D3 must be metabolized further in the liver and in the kidney to yield activated forms of D called calcidiol and calcitriol, respectively. It is this activated form that can form calcium-binding protein needed for the absorption of calcium from the intestines.

shared by Uma Shankari on 21 Nov 11 - No Cached
  • The vaccines can over-stimulate the immune system and paralyze it, especially if the recipient is very young or very old and nutritionally deficient. Squalene, an antioxidant, is  found throughout nervous system and is recognized by the immune system. But when squalene is injected into the body, it incites the immune system to attack all the squalene in the body, not just the vaccine adjuvant alone.

    " Scientific studies show that fresh juice of bitter melon can lower blood sugar values and keep insulin under check. The hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering) action is due to the presence of a unique phyto-constituent called charantin, insulin-like peptides, and alkaloids, all of which act together to improve glucose tolerance without increasing blood insulin levels."

shared by Uma Shankari on 30 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • Kumari Devi is chosen from among girls 3–5 years old belonging to the Buddhist Shakya clan. Her horoscope is thoroughly analyzed, her looks passed through magnifying glasses to ensure that they satisfy the 32 ‘samudrika lakshanas‘ or rules that determine facial beauty. Her mental strength is tested too by confining her overnight in a room which contain the remains of esoteric tantric rituals in the form of severed heads of goats and buffaloes around which men wearing demon masks dance. Only if she remains calm and composed despite her tender age, she will be considered the incarnation of Durga.
