Cold nights are here again which leads to Colds as well!
And why?
As temperature drop, people begin to stay indoors and spend less time in the sun. It simply means the Vitamin D levels in our body begin to drop. With this, our body immune system goes down as well.
The Real Cause of Colds and Flu
Colds and flu are cause by viruses and not bacteria, so don’t take antibiotics when you have one because it won’t do you any good at all.
All if not most of the sickness are due to weak immune system. With less vitamins D during this season, it will be easy for a lot of people to “catch colds and flu”.
More common factors that contribute in weakening to a weaked body immune syste are:
- Not getting enough sleep
- Less exercise
- Vitamin D deficiency
- Eating too much sweets and white grains
- High level of Stress

Land preparation and planting:
- Plow the field twice to loosen the soil.
- Harrow the field in a criss-cross manner to break the soil clods.
- Make furrows at a distance of 75 cm. Plant in the furrows. For irregular and hilly areas, plant in holes.
- For upland culture, plant the seedpieces 7 to 10 cm. deep in the furrows, at a 50 cm. distance between plants. When holes are prepared instead of furrows, slip the seedpieces into the holes and cover partially leaving the hollow around the plant.
- For best results, select a field with alluvial loam soil.
Fertilization:
The amount and kind of fertilizer to use vary from place to place.
- Apply 60-60-60 kg. of NPK/ha. to yield 30 tons/ha. Continue Reading »

On March 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm, tens of millions of people around the world will turn out their lights for one hour — Earth Hour—to demonstrate their concern for our living planet and send a loud message to our leaders that they support action on climate change. Here are a few ideas for ways your organization can support and publicize Earth Hour:
- Hold a contest among employees with a prize for the best ideas for reducing waste and cutting energy consumption in your company’s daily operations.
- Ask your business partners, suppliers and industry peers to support Earth Hour. Hang banners and posters so that your support is visible to all who enter your offices or buildings.
- Turn your website “go black” during the week leading up to Earth Hour; make all white backgrounds black and all black text white. (Google did this in 2008!) Post a blurb about the event on your homepage that links to the Earth Hour home page.
- Hold a company-wide event or celebration for employees the week proceeding Earth Hour and serve “green-themed” refreshments. Host an Earth Hour “lights out” party for your staff, customers and vendors on the night of the event. Be sure to turn out at 8:30 pm local time. Continue Reading »

EarthNews was one of the few blog site last year who participated and spread the world about Earth Hour. Once again, EarthNews at PinayMom.ORG is proud to partake this year’s Earth Hour 2009.
With the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote, Vote Earth is a global call to action for every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet.
In December 2009 world leaders meet in Copenhagen to agree on a post-Kyoto policy for tackling climate change. One billion people voting with their light switch during Earth Hour will create a powerful mandate for our leaders to take strong and decisive action on climate change in Copenhagen.
Earth Hour is asking bloggers to help spread the word about the importance of turning your lights out for one hour at 8.30pm on March 28.
Please feel free to use any of the assets found at http://www.earthhour.org/downloads/ in your blog.

1. Change Your Light Bulb
Use compact flourrescent light bulbs (CFLs), instead of incandescent lights. CFLs use up 75% less electricity and last up to 13 times longer.
2. Open A Window
When the sun is out, draw those blinds or curtains to let the natural light in. During cool nights and mornings, turn off that air conditioner.
3. Wash Clothes In Bulk
Accumulate dirty clothes for fewer loads on your washing machine. And hang your clothes to dry, rather than using an electric dryer.
4. Unplug Appliances When You Can
TV sets, stereos and video players on standby still consume power. When buying new appliances, pick the most energy-efficient models. Continue Reading »

Sea levels are increasing, glaciers are retreating and even polar bears and other rare cold climate species are slowly becoming extinct because of the monster that we created. And this, is no other than - Continue Reading »
