Apart from their great taste and texture, there are a good number of reasons to include this fruit in your diet. Avocado health benefits are myriad. Although high in mono unsaturated fats, and thereby calories, avocados contain high levels of potassium, folate and vitamins B, E and K. They are also high in fiber, and have been shown to have a beneficial effect on blood serum levels. Studies have shown that consumption of this fruit can help in the lowering of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, attributed to their high levels of beta-sitosterol. Avocados are also known to protect against various types of cancer. Take a look at some healthy chicken and avocado recipes below.

Citrus Avocado Salsa with Chicken

Ingredients
•Skinless chicken breasts – 1½ lbs
•Grapefruit – 1
•Avocado – 1 cup, diced
•Radish – 4, thinly sliced
•Fresh basil
•Lemon zest – of 1 lemon
•Salt – to taste
•Olive oil – for drizzling
Method
1.Fill a large saucepan with enough water to submerge the chicken breasts, and add a pinch of salt. Place on high heat and bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear once poked with a fork.
2.While the chicken is cooking, peel the grapefruit and free each segment and cut into bite sized bits, making sure you catch the juice.
3.Place the freshly cut grapefruit in a bowl, along with the avocado, radish, basil and salt to taste. Add the lemon zest and mix well. Continue Reading »

Different frequencies of electromagnetic waves have different wavelengths. For example, radio waves have long wavelengths that range from about 1 meter to hundreds or even thousands of meters and visible light (VIBGYOR) has short wavelengths that range from about 400 nanometers to about 750 nanometers. Microwaves are those electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between 1 millimeter and 1 meter. The microwaves used in microwave cooking have frequency of 2.45GHz and wavelengths of 12.2 centimeters.

It is very important to understand that microwave transmission are only a tool whose applications are left to the user to the best possible way he/she can think of. As more and more people learn about microwaves, obviously the people who think differently come up with unique ways to use their tools, including criminal uses also. But listing all the uses and misuses of microwaves is virtually impossible. A few conventional uses of microwaves include:

1) Microwave cooking ranges
2) Microwave washing machines
3) Cell Phones
4) Sub system of Cable TV
5) Communication systems
6) Space links etc.

However, I would like to concentrate on the misuses and non-conventional uses of microwaves, which are gaining importance in the area of military and personal warfare. For example, how does a microwave oven cook food? First of all the microwave oven uses a magnetron operating in the frequency of 2.45 GHz. This has a wavelength of 12.2 cm. Now this frequency is enough to penetrate a potato placed in your oven. But, while doing so, it twists the water molecules within your food back and forth, thereby causing thermal energy to be generated between them, which is in turn transferred to your potato by conduction process, making your potato hot from inside out. But what happens when these electromagnetic waves are focused on a living being? As happens with a light wave, which can be collimated with a simple magnifying lens, a microwave source can be focused or set to reflect in a particular direction only [with means of antennas, or precisely a horn antenna]. A living being consists mostly of water. Our bodies are majority water. Very simply put, a microwave oven, taken apart and coupled to a focusing antenna on top of the magnetron can be a potential lethal weapon. An attack like this is totally undetected and does not require the attacker to come directly in contact with the victim. An attack of this type is coined under the laws of electronic harassment. When a weapon is focused on to a victim, the microwaves penetrate about 1/64 inch of his skin and start heating up the skin intensely, causing blisters and burning of the top layer of the skin. Other symptoms may include but are not limited to: Headache, eye irritation, dizziness, nausea, skin rash, facial swelling, weakness, fatigue, pain in joints and/or muscles, buzzing/ringing in ears, skin numbness, abdominal pressure and pain, breathing difficulty, irregular heartbeat, sexual stimulation and hearing voices. Additional symptoms have been reported in some individuals such as paralysis, balance problems, body and/or muscle spasms, convulsions, confusion, depression, difficulty in concentrating, seizure, sleep disturbances, and memory difficulties. These are weapons of crimes that almost nobody knows except the victims and the offenders. Until now they make the perfect crime possible. No doubt, these weapons have a terrible future.

Expert Pevler stresses: “The development of high-power microwave (HPM) weaponry, and its proliferation into subversive organizations, offers the means to commit the ‘perfect crime’. HPM attacks typically leave no residual evidence and their effects can range from nuisance to catastrophic” (1997). Continue Reading »

Hi,my readers.I am going to recommend an online store to you in this article.The name of the website is hookah-pipe.com.It offers various kinds of hookah pipes products.In fact,I have been its customer for about 3 year.And I have bought many products ,such as hookah tobacco on it.

Here are a few delicious and easy German recipes:

Sauerbraten

4 lb lean beef roast, preferably eye of round rump
To be mixed together in a saucepan:
2 C. red wine
2 C. red wine vinegar
2 C. water
1 large sized onion, sliced
3 cloves, 2 bay leaves, 10 peppercorns

You will require:
A large sized bowl or crock to marinate the roast
A Dutch Oven or a large sized, tightly covered kettle for cooking

Heat the marinating mixture until it begins simmering, then turn off the heat. Pour this mixture over the meat, placed in a large bowl, and let it cool. Cover this and refrigerate for 3 to 5 days. Next, remove the meat from the marinade, draining it out completely. Strain the marinade and keep it aside. Put enough oil to cover the bottom of the Dutch Oven and brown the roast in it. Add 2 cups of the marinade into it slowly. Reduce the heat and cover the cooking pot and let it simmer until the roast is tender, which will take about 21/2 hours. Remove it on to a large platter and keep it warm. In order to make the gravy, thicken the liquid with crushed gingersnaps, cornstarch or flour. If you want a stronger flavor add bouillon cubes or some beef base. Slice the sauerbraten and serve with potato dumplings, spatzle, or mashed potatoes.

Spatzle

Pronounced ‘shpet sla’, this is an irregularly shaped noodle, formed by passing the batter through a colander or a spatzle grater.

4-5 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of water, 250 ml
4 large sized eggs
1 tsp salt

In a bowl, mix the water, flour, salt and eggs, stirring until the batter becomes elastic and thick; add more flour if required. Place the colander or spatzle maker over a bowl of gently boiling water. Put some of the batter into the holding cup and grate it slowly. When the spatzle begins floating up to the surface, use a slotted spoon to remove them. Repeat this process until you use up all the batter. The spatzle can tossed with butter and cheese and topped with caramelized onions.

Zwiebelkuchen

1/4 lb smoked bacon, diced
1 medium sized onion, chopped into small pieces
2 eggs
1 cup of sour cream Continue Reading »
