Bonsai - Introduction to Miniature Shrub and Tree Gardening for Newbies

By: Dueep Jyot Singh,John Davidson

Table of Contents Introduction Knowing More about Your Bonsai Best Choices of Bonsai Plant Varieties Dwarfing Your Plants Artificially Root pruning and shaping of your Bonsai Some Tips and Tricks Maintenance and Care Of Your Bonsai The Rule of Thumb While Deciding When to Water Your Bonsai Pot bound bonsais [repotting when necessary] Collecting a natural bonsai in the Wild Collecting Trip Equipment Another Procedure – 3 Year Method for Potential Bonsais Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was about nine years old when I read about bonsais – miniature trees, in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. At that time, 70s and the Britannica volumes had been published in the 50s, this particular encyclopedia had a tendency of abbreviating the descriptions and the knowledge about anything about which they knew nothing! So as nobody was there to tell them about me nature plants and miniature shrubs, which were so common in the mysterious East and Oriental Gardens, they had just written about two paragraphs about them. So I went to the source of more information, father and asked him to elucidate. He immediately explained that bonsai was the Japanese name given to plants, which were fully grown trees, but were miniature. He also explained about little orange trees, which were about 12 to 18 inches in size and were laden with orange fruit. This was very fascinating. We needed bonsais in our garden, I and my younger brother. Like right now.

The Magic of Walnuts - Walnuts for Natural Cures And Good Health

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

The Magic of Walnuts - Walnuts for Natural Cures And Good Health Table of Contents Introduction Most popular Walnut Cultivars Growing Walnuts Harvesting Storing Walnuts Nutritive Value of Walnuts Walnut Granola Walnuts to Cure You Walnuts for Constipation Pain in Joints Traditional Toothpaste Out Of Walnuts Walnuts for Improving Your Memory Natural Walnut Tune-up Tonic Walnuts for Skincare Walnuts for Chest Infections Precautions and Possible Side Effects Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Since ancient times, walnuts have been among the most popular – and also the most expensive – of dried fruits available to mankind. If you found yourself in ancient China and happened to be a member of the court of the Emperor, you would show your status by holding a pair of perfectly and symmetrically shaped walnuts. They would be large in size and would be moved around on your palms, while you discuss weighty political matters with the rest of your peers. They would also be rotating and pressing walnuts while arguing the point with you. The ancient Chinese considered these walnuts pressing their palms to be aids in acupuncture, especially when this pressure promoted the circulation of blood. If you are in ancient Rome, and were in Julius Caesar’s circle, you could perhaps see one of his slaves using red-hot walnut shells as a rather painful depilatory in order to keep Caesar’s skin smooth and hairless. Even today, in many parts of the world, burnt and powdered walnut shells are used as a scrub to prevent growth of hair. A traditional and very politically incorrect old Irish saying says “, a dog, a woman, a Walnut tree, the more you beat them, the better they be .” That is definitely not true, because I could not “see” anybody beating a Walnut tree, though, I have been witness to animals and human beings being treated to violence often, and all over the world. If you were a friend of Leonardo da Vinci in medieval times, it is possible that you may have seen him doing some of his drawings with an ink made up of black walnut husks. Many of these drawings still survive today. Robin Hood in his mythological adventures always disguised himself by staining his skin with walnut juice obtained from crushed walnuts and walnut husks. This dye was brown in color, and was used for dyeing hair by the ancient Greeks and Romans.

You think of walnuts, cashew nuts, figs, dates, prunes, pistachio and almonds. You also think about how rare and exotic they were once upon a time, – with the value about equal to those of spices and how fortunate we are in the 21st century that we can find them in large quantities, and right at our doorstep. This book introduces to you the magic of almonds. The almond- Prunus Amygdalus-has long been known through history as one of the most popular and healthy Dry fruits available to mankind. The almond tree originated in the wilder regions of South Asia and the Middle East, and the fruit of these plants were bitter. They were also poisonous because of the presence of cyanide. However, mankind through trial and error managed to cultivate the sweeter variety of this plant and from then on, the almond became a major part of social life, tradition and history.

The Beginner’s Guide to Houseplants - Easy Tips and Techniques for Growing Houseplants in Your Home

By: John Davidson,Dueep J. Singh

The Beginner’s Guide to Houseplants Easy Tips and Techniques for Growing Houseplants in Your Home Table of Contents Introduction How to Choose Houseplants Temperature Humidity Different Types of Containers Light Watering your plants Rule of hand Watering Tips Going for a long holiday – What about my indoor plants? Feeding Your Plants Re-potting a plant What Is the Best Potting Mixture Training and Pruning Your Plants Cleaning Your Plants Common pests and their treatment Appendix Index of common names and botanical names of popular houseplants. Author Bio Introduction Millenniums ago, a man deciding to build a garden was fortunate because he had all that land right outside his door. All he had to do is clear out a piece of land, and mark it with a boundary wall. After that, he could go hunting for attractive looking plants in the wild, and bring them back home. With a little bit of care and cherishing, he would soon have a tame garden of his own. But today, a large number of us are not so fortunate. Space is at a premium. Concrete jungles have taken the place of what was once nature’s backyard. And that is why man is looking for easy options to bring beautiful greenery inside his limited space. And so this book is for all those, who want to know more about indoor plants, how to grow them, how to take care of them, which are the best plant varieties which flourish indoors and tips and techniques with which you can enjoy not only a relaxing hobby, but also greenery around you. Until just after the Second World War, indoor household plants were limited to ferns, palms, and potted plants, which flowered in season. Surely plants like aspidistras were also popular for interior decoration but soon more and more wide-ranging varieties and species of foliage parted plants began to be known to keen gardeners. This change is due chiefly to the architects who designed postwar buildings on severe lines. Gone were the rambling houses with huge gardens. Strictly utilitarian designs were utilized by architects to design these houses and flats. Frankly speaking most of them were chicken coops. The introduction of houseplants in a large variety of colors and fonts provided a flash of color to those austere and severe designs. You could relieve the simplicity and the austerity of the home by growing houseplants indoors. Thanks to the improved heating and lighting systems, many varieties which were once grown in hot houses, greenhouses and conservatories would now flourish indoors as houseplants. There are many plants which are easier to grow, and last for several years.

A Beginner’s Guide to Bottling Fruit and Vegetables - With tips on How to Prepare and Preserve Food for Long-Term Use

By: John Davidson,Dueep J. Singh

A Beginner’s Guide to Bottling Fruit and Vegetables With tips on How to Prepare and Preserve Food for Long-Term Use Table of Contents Introduction Rules of Bottling Types of Jars and Bottles Sterilizing Tips Equipment Necessary for Bottling Methods of Sterilization Hot Water Bath Method Hot-Water Sterilization – Quick Method Oven Method Second Oven Method Boiling Tomatoes Tomato in Their Own Juice Preserving Tomatoes in Brine Tomato Purée Tomato Juice Bottling Methods for Vegetables Blanching and Sterilizing Process for Vegetables Water Bath Method Acid Brine – Lemon Juice Method Using Bottled Vegetables Preparation of Fruit and Temperature Chart Timetable for Sterilizing Vegetables in Pressure Cooker Conclusion Author Bio- Introduction We are everlastingly grateful to that homemaker millenniums ago, who decided that she needed to preserve food, for the coming winter. That was a little step for her, but it was a giant step for mankind. Soon people began to preserve food in stoneware jars. The principle of preserving these fruit/food items depended firstly upon the destruction by need of all the mold and bacteria in the air, fruit, or water. As technological development and experimental sciences began to develop in ancient civilizations, they discovered how to make glass containers and bottles more than 5000 years ago. Naturally, at the same time, the cook in the kitchen was experimenting on food stuffs. It was only by trial and error that she learned that if she kept items of food in a moist atmosphere, it would soon grow moldy and perish real fast. Also, she learned that the exclusion of air during the sealing off the bottles prevented this mold from growing on the surface of the food. Along with that, she found out that salt, vinegar, wine and oil were extremely useful mediums in which she could preserve food, and that is how the art of been a preserving food in the shape of jams, jellies, pickles and chutneys came into existence. So this art has come down to us through the ages, and that is why many families have closely guarded secret recipes for pickling or preserving food. And that is when our grannies told us in grave tones – “remember, children, the containers in which you put this jam should be totally sealed really properly. That is how you are going to keep it for a long time.” Natural vinegar and natural oil was used as an important medium since ancient times to preserve fruit, pickles and other natural food items. Along with that, salt and sugar were used as preservatives.

Herbs for Health and Healing - The Healing Power of 10 Herbs, Spices and Healing Plants Table of Contents Introduction Cinnamon–Cinnamomum zeylanicum Best Time-Tested Remedy for Colds Making a Ginger and Cinnamon Decoction Cayenne – Capsicum minimum Cayenne Hot Oil Making an Infused Oil Lemon – Citrus lemonum Lemon for Fever Lemon Compress Lemon for Beauty and Health Skin Balm Lemon Body Lotion Cardamoms- Elettaria cardamomum For Caffeine Addicts Mind Clearing Potpourri Onions –Allium cepa Onion milk Onion Poultice Traditional Soups Garlic– Allium sativum Garlic Bread and Garlic Butter Garlic Rub Cloves – Eugenia Aromatica Analgesic Rub for Headache and Backache Fennel- Foeniculum Vulgare Fennel as a Diuretic How to Make Herbal Teas “Smoking” Fennel Seeds Parsley Healthy Parsley Soup Rosemary Making a Rosemary Tincture Rosemary Conditioner Conclusion Author Bio Introduction This 21st century world is full of toxic water, poisoned air, and chemical pollution. We are also very worried about the thinning ozone layer, because it is definitely going to have a bad after effect on our climate, and then correspondingly on our health. This is the reason why, we are looking towards the use of natural elements, to keep us healthy and fit. That is because we have understood the fact that chemical-based drugs are efficacious on a short-term basis, but they do not heal us long-term. Besides, there is always the chance of dangerous side effects. And so our health is ruined, because we could not prevent ourselves from popping that pill. Ancient remedies, on the other hand, have been passed down through centuries. Many of us consider these remedies to be quack remedies, because many of them have not been subjected to scientific research, and a stamp of experienced researchers telling you, all right, it is useful to add a lot of cinnamon to your diet, because that has been scientifically proven to cure 99% of bacterial and viral infections. Nevertheless, there are a lot of infections, which have been proven down the millenniums to be cured only by practical and natural remedies. Many of these practical remedies have been in use for thousands of years and are still in use because they have proved their time tested efficacy over and over again in solving your health problems and curing you. Best, you are going to be cured from the root, and the effects are going to be long-term. No matter what ailment you suffer from, you can always do something with a little bit of knowledge, and a little bit of help from nature to enhance your well-being and good health. Many of us living in the cities are terrified of picking up any useful herbal plant material growing wild and which we encounter when we are on open-air ambles, because we know that they have been contaminated from lead from vehicle exhausts, and also could have been sprayed with agri-chemicals. Also, we do not have the herbal lore, which was taught to our ancestors, by their ancestors. There was a time when every proud housewife worth her salt knew all about herbs, spices and natural remedies and had a still room in which she used to brew herbal remedies to keep our family healthy and happy, and natural ointments to keep them youthful looking. Gathering herbs from the wild can only be done by those botanists and herbalists will have extensive knowledge of the beneficial points of plants. So that is the reason why a large number of the plants which I am going to describe to you in this book can be easily found in your local market.

A Beginner’s Guide to Raised Bed Gardening - Gardening Tips and Techniques on Organic Raised Bed Gardening

By: John Davidson,Dueep J. Singh

A Beginner’s Guide to Raised Bed Gardening Gardening Tips and Techniques on Organic Raised Bed Gardening Table of Contents Introduction Tips and techniques for Raised Bed Gardening The Benefits of Raised Bed Gardening Raised Beds as Spiritual Therapy Conserving water in raised beds. Preventing Soil Erosion Keyhole gardens How to Construct a Raised Garden Choosing the Right Soil Rooting zone Making Raised Beds From Timber Support for the outer wall. Watering your raised beds How to check soil drainage In Your Garden Making a Kitchen Garden in Raised Beds How to Make a Compost Heap How to Make Leaf Compost Organic manure for Making Compost Making a Worm Farm Herbal Plants in Your Raised Garden Staggered Harvests Lasagna Gardening Conclusion Author Bio Introduction The first time I came across an example of raised bed gardening, my reaction was, that is an extremely sensible way of gardening, you do not have to stoop down to ground level. I was seeing these raised garden beds in a friend’s home. She loved gardening. She also had back trouble. So crouching down in front of her beloved flower and vegetable as well as herbal garden in order to de-weed them was purgatory to her. And then her handy do-it-yourself practical husband said, “Why don’t we raise the crops and plants in beds which are waist high?” And he immediately set about building 4 feet wide beds, in square shaped blocks with wood. The soil was raised above ground level, and placed in that wooden frame. The results were amazing. It was only 10 years later that I found out that raised bed gardening was being practiced extensively all over the world. Avid gardeners were making bed frames out of concrete, rock, and even wood. They made the containers to their own particular requirements, with dimensions ranging from 1.0 m to 2 m, depending on the space they had. Gardening in containers is all very well, but raised gardening eliminates the use of pots. And best of all, as my friend told me, “I do the gardening on my raised bed. Himself –(her enthusiastic DIY gardener husband) plans to plant plants which love the shade under the raised beds. In that way, we are utilizing every inch of the soil, as well as lots of space above ground level. What a sensible way to make gardens in limited spaces.” She has the right of it. And this is possibly the reason why so many people want to know all about raised bed gardening in rich organic compost laden soil. So as you are one of them, let us start with how we can utilize every square inch of our land, economically and beneficially, by making raised beds, how to make them, how to take care of them and how to enjoy their harvest. I definitely advocate natural methods for gardening, so I am going to tell you about the best organic and natural gardening practices, which people all over the world have been using for centuries. Take advantage of our technology in other aspects of gardening like watering, etc., but still use the old natural methods for fertilizing the soil.

Grandma's Practical Diet Guide - The Role of Diet in Increasing and Reducing Weight Information, Tips and Techniques

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

Grandma’s Practical Diet Guide - The Role of Diet in Increasing and Reducing Weight Information, Tips and Techniques Table of Contents Introduction The Effect of Weight on Your Health Side Effects of Obesity and Malnutrition Standard of Weight Why Bother about a Well-Regulated Diet? Losing Weight Slowly and Steadily Should You Go on a Weight Gain or Weight Loss Diet? Relation between Exercise and Diet Anti-Fat Preparations Restricting My Diet – No, I Could Not Do That! Bread-and-butter So What Can I Eat? Liquids with meals? Excessive Thinness! Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Down the ages, it has always been the responsibility of the most sensible, experience and old member of the family to use all the knowledge which has been learnt through harsh experience or which has been passed down the generations to take care of the good health of all the family members. Naturally, grandma knew the value of diet, along with nourishing food in large quantities, which was not only tasty but kept her family healthy, happy and well fed. More often than not, there came a time when food was not available in such large quantities. At that time she had to make do with what she had. Unfortunately, that is the situation in many parts of the world even today. Some parts are blessed with an overabundance of food in such large quantities that they can be dumped into the sea, because the farmers do not know what to do with them. On the other hand, there are parts of the world, where the literal cliché – hungering for a grain of rice, is the order of the day. Even today, in this world of overabundance, we still need to concentrate on our diet. Too much of a good thing means increased weight and obesity. Too less of food in our diet means anorexia, bulimia, malnutrition and even starvation. So even though we have reached the 21st century, we still face this problem of less weight and overweight.

The Magic of Natural Remedies for Curing and Healing Naturally

By: John Davidson,Dueep J. Singh

The Magic of Natural Remedies for Curing and Healing Naturally Table of Contents Introduction Keeping Our Teeth Healthy Foods to Avoid Ginger Remedy Alum Turmeric Remedy Turmeric tooth powder Colored Bottle Remedies Skincare Remedy Time-Tested Sore Throat Remedy Sinus problems Extremely Easy Cough Remedy Rock salt Remedy Turmeric Remedy Banana remedy for asthma Natural remedies for heart attack prevention Mint Leaves Remedy Best Natural Diet for People Suffering from Heart Problems Tonic to Strengthen Your Heart Lowering Cholesterol Raisins Remedy Garlic for Lowering Cholesterol Who Should Avoid Garlic Garlic to Cure Sciatica Sweet Almond Oil Conclusion Author Bio Introduction If you are familiar with my magic series, you may have noticed that many of these books concentrate on just one magic herb or a magic spice, which is going to cure you. Naturally, the spices and herbs have been used since ancient times to help keep people healthy, beautiful, and also youthful. Remember that not everybody in grandma’s time or even in the time of our ancestors could afford to go to the doctor. In fact, physicians were only restricted to people who could pay their exorbitant fees. The rest of the common crowd made do with the knowledge that had been passed down to them, by their ancestors, and also from the knowledge gained through experimenting on their own. This is how so many natural remedies came into vogue, and so many of them proved to be successful. Many of them were quack remedies, but this was because many of the ingredients which were used here were rather astonishing, when seen by a 21st century perspective. Nevertheless, there was some particular reason, why these quack remedies proved to be successful, because they had some material in them, which was able to cure people. Now let us take for example, the use of goose grease, for rubbing on the scalp to make the hair grow faster. Goose grease is nothing but fatty oil. It moisturized the scalp. You could get the same results by rubbing in sheep fat. So if our ancestors did not have one thing, they made do with something approximating that item, in their opinion. So one had to use goose grease and passed on this knowledge to his descendants, the coming generations began to believe that yes, this was the product, which would make your hair grow long, lustrous, and healthy. It would also keep your scalp dandruff free. Now, what was the reason why so many people in ancient times kept healthy, even though they lived in unhygienic surroundings? Firstly, they had a strong constitution, and did not coddle themselves. They knew the value of the sun and the fresh air, and they stayed out as much as they could. They just came home to rest, eat, and possibly recuperate, if they suffered from some ailment or from injuries. Also, they were very particular about their diet. They enjoyed plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. They also drank fresh milk in large quantities whenever they could, as well as ate milk products like butter, butter, milk, cheese, and cottage cheese as often as they could, and when they could afford it. The wealth of a tribe depended on that the amount of cows and goats they had. Other livestock was also very precious, but these came paramount. Whenever people of one tribe were attacked by people of other tribes, the cry went up “cows, pigs, horses, goats and sheep first, children second.” The young children along with the animals were hidden away with the elders, who led the adults of the tribe do the fighting. This fighting was done, sometimes to the death, by the men and women of the tribe. The elders, who were unable to fight, were considered to be the people who would help the children survive, with knowledge about their ancient heritage. This was the time when herbal lore was passed down to the generations from the elders of the tribe to the young next-generation and the youngest generation.

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

Grandma’s Guide to Healthy Eating on a Budget - Healthy Old-Time and Traditional Recipes From All Over The World Table of Contents Introduction Old-Style Eating Versus New Style Eating Tips For Healthy Food Serving Harvest Stew Fish With Tomato Spinach salad Traditional Salad Recipe Beef in Ginger Spiced Chicken Wings Mixed Vegetables Garlic Prawns Duck in Orange Sauce Beef Casserole Fried Fish Tandoori Chicken Okra in Tomato Sauce Kofta Curry Sukiyaki Managing Your Tomato Harvest Traditional Onion Bread Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction We are at the beginning of a new era in food. If grandma had the financial resources, she made sure that her table was stocked with lots and lots of food, starting with soup, meat, vegetables, fruit and sweetmeats. A more frugal grandma would look at the limited ingredients in her garden, and in her kitchen and use her creativity to make a delicious meal as often as she could to feed her hungry brood. Cooking was an art, in olden days, especially when traditional cooks knew all about the effect of different foods on your body and system. In Korea and in many parts of the East, including China, the Royal family had special cooks who were half doctors themselves. They knew all about the internal system of each and every member of the royal family, and used special ingredients and cooking methods in order to keep their systems working properly and in a healthy manner. That is when the art of cooking was at its zenith; cooking to keep healthy and eating nutritious food.

Preserving Food – A Beginner’s Guide to Pickles, Chutneys and Sauces Table of Contents Introduction Why Make Chutneys and Pickles? Tips for choosing best fruit and Vegetables Tips for Pickles and Chutney Making Chutneys Popular Chutneys Gooseberry Chutney Traditional Farmer’s Garlic Chutney Technique of Marination Using Brine Vinegars Making Spiced Vinegar Traditional Garden Pickle Traditional Piccalilli- Traditional Red Cabbage Pickles Soft vegetables – Sour Cucumber Pickles Tomato Pickle Testing Pickled Onions Sweet and Spicy Pickled Onions Non-vegetarian Pickles Traditional Pickled Wild Boar Pickled Eggs Traditional Tomato Sauce Appendix Garam Masala-Curry powder Conclusion Author Bio- Introduction Millenniums ago, when human beings were still food gatherers instead of food growers, they decided to find out some ways and means in which they could preserve food for a longer time. Winter was the time when they could not go out and hunt. So was the rainy season, especially they were living in rain forests and tropical areas. So if they found out some way in which they could preserve food, on which they and their tribe members could survive, this would make all the difference between life and death. And so through a lot of experimentation, the ideas of pickles, chutneys, jams, jellies, preserves, conserves, spiced fruit and other ways of preserving food, as well as fruit and vegetables came into existence. Today, millenniums later, there is absolutely no fruit and vegetable, which has not been turned into a pickle, chutney, jam, jelly or conserve, by some cook. Even meat in the form of venison and boar has been pickled in the east, down the ages, as well as eggs. Too many eggs, and you are worried about preserving them? Do as the ancient Chinese did. Preserve them in egg pickles. So this book is going to tell you how to make the best use of all those extra vegetables and fruit in your garden, and turn them into a valuable food source, which can be eaten later.

Introduction to Ayurveda - Keeping Healthy the Ancient Way

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

Introduction to Ayurveda - Keeping Healthy the Ancient Way Table of Contents Introduction Knowing More about Alternative Medicine Practices Introducing Ayurveda The Quality of a Substance Ayurvedic Medicine Ayurveda and Traditional Medicine Tips about Food for Healing Bananas Figs Dates Lemons Limes Tomatoes Ginger Turmeric Appendix How to Make Traditional Yogurt Traditional Buttermilk Making Butter Out Of Cream What Are the Health Benefits of Buttermilk? Digestive Buttermilk Traditional Ancient Buttermilk Recipe Spicy Salt Salty Buttermilk Traditional Clarified Butter – Desi Ghee Conclusion Author Bio- Publisher Introducing Ayurveda Millenniums ago, an alternative medicine science based on natural ingredients, began to be practiced in the area, which is now called the Indian subcontinent. This science was known as Ayurveda. The exact Sanskrit meaning of this word means life knowledge. For millenniums, the art of healing knowledge based on this science has been passed down through the generations to heal and cure people of the diseases known to man. More than 5000 years ago, two of these great wise men, who practiced this science, named Charaka and Susrutha made medical compendiums, which talked about healing procedures, operational procedures, and medicines which would be used to heal the diseases known to man down the ages. These classics written in Sanskrit have been considered to be the foundation of the ancient science of Ayurveda. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine was also making a name for itself, thanks to great medical practitioners, who took the help of these compendiums in order to develop well-known medical systems. Nowadays, these systems are considered to be alternative and complementary treatments, supporting the more conventional forms of modern medicine. This science is practiced in the USA, as a complementary health care licensed practice. This science is divided into eight parts – General medicine, surgery, pediatrics, dentistry/ENT/ophthalmology, toxicology, psychiatric treatments, anti- aging remedies and remedies for bearing healthy children. So, one can see that even at that time, all the ills of human beings were studied and remedies hunted for them. Ayurveda is based on curing disease or disorders from the root level. It uses herbs which are 100% natural, and are definitely not going to have a detrimental effect upon the body, when you stop using them. According to ancient Ayurveda, a living body is made up of five elements. The proper balance between the five elements so that they work in harmonious tandem with nature. [Prakriti.] Prakriti can also be called Constitution, when it is applied to another substance like a mineral, a fruit or a vegetable, etc. A healthy person is going to have an inborn and natural combination of three important elements, which are going to put him in harmony with nature. That means he is in good health. When these important elements are imbalanced, you are going to suffer from diseases. Ayurveda is the method in which these three elements are balanced by helping to modulate the surrounding environment, the human diet, lifestyle and the behavior of a suffering patient so that he can be healed. An Ayurvedic lifestyle concentrates on more of fruit and vegetables in your diet to keep healthy.

Diet Programs and your Health - Knowing More about Proper and Healthy Diet Programs

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

Diet Programs and your Health - Knowing More about Proper and Healthy Diet Programs Table of Contents Diet Programs and your Health Introduction Difference between Dieting and Fasting Low Carbohydrate Cooking Calorie Counting Diets Diet pills Fads Quick Weight Loss Diets Weight Watchers Diets High-Protein, Low Carbohydrate Diet Low carbohydrate Diet Tips Best Low Carbohydrate Food Items Cheeses Tofu Healthy spice powder Bok Choy Soybean Sauce Eggs Mayonnaise Blender Mayonnaise Chives Vinegar Smoked hams Chicken or Beef Stock Conclusion Authors Bio Introduction Did you know that the concept of dieting is a relatively modern one? In ancient times, the mere idea of going without food, in order to lose weight was not very common or usual. That is because most of the time, a large majority of people did not have enough of food to eat. So the idea of their becoming fat was reduced. Also, our ancestors made sure that they spent a major part of their lives doing hard physical labor in the open air. That is why the food that they ate was easily assimilated in their bodies. This meant that there was no chance of their gaining extra weight or the accumulation of extra cellulite on any part of their bodies. Man was naturally conditioned through his genes to have a protective layer of fat on his body. That is why down the centuries, the idea of no fat on a body did not disturb his equanimity. You may want to look at all the paintings and statues down the centuries. The women and even children are Ruben-esque in nature, which means they are chubby and plump.

Budget Management - Easy Techniques to Keep Your Finances and Budget Under Control

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

Table of Contents Proper Budget Management Introduction Thinking up a Budget The 10% Bank Account Making an Household Account Proper Marketing Buying for a Large Family Recognizing Your Money Problems Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction There was a time when managing finances for the family was considered to be a part of every future homemakers’ training. A girl had to learn to become up proper and capable household manager and utilize all the finances available to her in a sensible and adept manner. The world economy in itself means the careful use of available materials, including money. A large majority of women have charge of the spending of most of the money gained by the wage earners of the family. So if the woman is extravagant and has no economic sense, the family is soon going to find itself facing a number of bills on the 1st of every month, adding to the stack of unpaid bills from the previous month. Let us take an example – what is going to benefit the family more, an increase of hundred dollars in your annual income, or the saving of the same amount by wise management? You may think a penny saved is a penny earned as one of the old-time clichés, but our ancestors went through hard economic and financial times. They knew how to stretch a dollar so far that it squeaked. The Great Depression of the 1930s is now the Great Depression of the 2020s, and the financial and economic problems, which took place then are still very much around. So a little bit of sensible management, proper judgment and some self-discipline is going to help you in managing expenditure properly so that you never have spent nights wondering where you are going to get enough of money to pay pending and long-overdue bills. Budget management is not a modern concept. It started in the 1880s under the label of home economics in the USA when it was taught to girls at school who were the future homemakers. Cornell University is the only universe to the USA, which had a full-fledged curriculum based on home economics.

A Beginner’s Guide to Home Winemaking - Tips and Techniques for Growing and Using Fruit Vines and Herbs for Home Consumption

By: Dueep J. Singh

A Beginner’s Guide to Home Wine-making Tips and Techniques for Growing and Using Fruit Vines and Herbs for Home Consumption Table of Contents Introduction Growing Grape Vines Preparation of the soil Planting your vine Maintenance Pruning your vines Protecting Your Vines. Harvesting your grapes Making homemade Wines What is wine How to Make Wine Equipment Needed For Winemaking Don’ts When You Are Making Wine Steps in Home Winemaking Preparation of the Fruits and Vegetables Extraction of Juice Making the Fermentation Mixture Fermentation Racking into Jars Artificial Clearing Fining Racking off into bottles and storing Maturing Serving wine Choosing the Best Wines Varieties and Recipes Winemaking recipes Apple Wine Beetroot Wine Blackberry Wine Blackcurrant Wine Elderberry Elderflower Wine Grapes Orange Wine Raisin Wine Dandelion Wine Conclusion Author Bio Introduction According to the ancient Greeks, it was a Demi-God, Dionysius, who taught them the pleasures of making wine and drinking it. No wonder he was always shown with grapevine leaves around his head. The Romans called him Bacchus and also Eleutherios, which meant the Liberator. The idea was those taking part in celebrating his existence were free from care and worry. That was because they drank freely of the fruit of the grape during their Bacchanals. A Greek friend told me that according to Greek legend, Dionysius was supposed to have come to India, and Alexander the great during his conquest entered an Eastern city called Nysa , of which the inhabitants told him of its raising by this demi-God. He taught them practices which were incorporated in their own social rituals and festivals. Ah, well, that is a good myth, but then wine was definitely not unknown in the East. It was one of the first gourmet pleasures discovered and appreciated for millenniums. So if this demigod came to the Indian subcontinent he would have been fed Madira or Soma Rasa -the ancient and traditional drink of the gods! The names Dennis, Denise and Dion are derivatives from this original Greek name. So for all of us who would like to raise a toast to the gods in a glass of homemade wine, this book is going to teach you how you can grow vines very successfully in sunny atmospheres. After that, it is going to teach you how to make wines for home consumption. If you look at wine making practices, which are being practiced today, it is a very scary and complicated process. This is because of our usage of complex and complicated tools. The practices I am going to teach you have been in use for centuries. You are not going to be buying expensive tools. You are going to be making wine, the traditional way.

A Beginner’s Guide to Poultry Farming in Your Backyard - Raising Chickens for Eggs and Food

By: John Davidson,Dueep J. Singh

A Beginner’s Guide to Poultry Farming in Your Backyard Raising Chickens for Eggs and Food Table of Contents Introduction It Is Just Chicken Feed Sustainable Poultry Feed Crop bound Chickens Best Natural Food for Chickens Hatching Chickens How to Make an Incubator Fresh Water Supply Nesting boxes Free Ranging Birds Dust baths and Shed Floor Covering Bumble Foot Building Your Own Chicken Coop Egg Production Raising Broilers for the Market Well Ventilated Coops Protecting chickens from Predators Conclusion The Truth about Growth Promoting Feed Author Bio Introduction Ever since man found out that it was extremely easy to have domesticated sources of food, reared right in his yard, millenniums ago, is it a wonder that poultry especially chicken farming is one of the best methods to get easy access to a good source of food for your family? There is absolutely no country in the world, except perhaps the Arctic regions, – where man has not reared ducks, chickens and other poultry for table purposes down the centuries. Apart from these being an easy source of eggs to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, you also knew that you would have a tough old rooster for dinner, when a large number of family members popped in unexpectedly, demanding sustenance. We are going to be concentrating on chicken farming, for domestic purposes in this book. You have this dream of raising chickens in your backyard. You are interested in a continuous supply of eggs, and the occasional chicken for your pot of a Sunday. Layers are those chickens, which are normally raised for egg production. The chickens which are going to go straight into the pot are called broilers. Since ancient times, human beings have been raising poultry for domestic purposes and also for marketing purposes. Poultry farming has been a part of rural life in the east down the centuries. All the kitchen waste was fed to the hens. These hens came under the 21st century poultry farming term – free ranging. That meant they were allowed to scratch about in the backyard, getting their fill of insects, worms, green vegetables, organic matter, and was it a wonder that they laid delicious, nutritious, and proteinaceous eggs? Every intelligent householder kept three or four hens depending on the size of his family, and he bought a cock from the market, when he needed chickens. Once a clutch of chickens was hatched, Cocky Locky went into the cook pot. One of the common mistakes made by new poultry farmers is buying a large number of birds, because they are not very clear about whether they want these words for home consumption or they want to trade in the eggs and poultry meat. Around 50 years ago, one of my father’s colleagues was facing this problem. He had this huge garden and backyard. He had heard about dad rearing poultry in that garden successfully. So he also wanted to experiment in this exciting new activity which would keep his family well supplied with eggs, and fresh meat. So the next time dad went visiting to his base on a tour, he asked dad the best way to raise birds without too much of a hassle. You are going to get these easy tips in the book.

A Beginner's Guide to Annuals and Biennials - Essential guide for A Beautiful Garden

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

Table of Contents A Beginner’s Guide to Annuals and Biennials Introduction Choosing the Right Soil Soil Color and Fertility Humus Preparation of the Soil Best Time for Seed Sowing The Thinning Process Staking Your Annuals Why Mulch? Cultivation and Maintenance Watering your Plants List of Hardy annuals Half Hardy Annuals Annuals Suitable for Cutting Purposes – Annuals for autumn blooming – Half Hardy Annuals for Edging Your Border Knowing More about Biennials Sowing the seeds Preparing the Ground List of Popular Biennials Conclusion Author’s Bio Publisher Introduction There are far too many people out there who are under the impression that you cannot have a beautiful garden without spending huge amounts of money. That is so not true. A little bit of planning and this fallacy is going to fall to pieces by the wayside. Those who are grown annuals for years are going to give this statement the lie gladly. Their initial investment must have been just a packet of seeds. The next year, the plants were grown from the seeds collected from the previous years’ crop. Do not forget that the life of an annual is limited to just 12 months and so you must not expect them to grow up and bloom again the next year, unless of course you allowed the seeds to lie in the bed without collecting them. That is when they are going to bloom up just like weeds with a little bit of rain, and with the coming of the spring. One of the great advantages of annuals is that they are quite easy to grow and flourish in your garden over a long period. The most common are well known to even amateur gardeners who can recognize a cornflower, nasturtiums, Virginia stock and Candytuft. These are very beautiful in themselves, but every gardener is growing them in his garden. So be a little adventurous and grow annuals that are lesser-known, whose names you will find in seed catalogs, nursery catalogs and in nurseries online. There are two kinds of annuals – the hardy kind and the half hardy kind. The hardy annuals are sewn out of doors, either in the autumn are in the spring. The half-hardy annuals are normally raised in frames or under cloches if you are subject to a continuous frost. Half-hardy annuals may need a little bit more of extra care and coddling , but that extra is going to be worth it when you see the blossoms in your garden.

A Beginner’s Guide to Sustainable Gardening

By: John Davidson,Dueep J. Singh

A Beginner’s Guide to Sustainable Gardening Table of Contents Introduction Important Points of Sustainable Management Principles of Sustainable Gardening Some General Talk on Natural Ecosystems and Sustainable Forestry Water Harvesting Making Holding Pools Concrete Pools How to Make Your Own Pond Prefabricated Pools. Miscellaneous Containers Making Natural Compost My Best Friends – Earthworms Using Barnyard Produce for Making Compost Enriching The Soil with Natural Nutrients Chemical Fertilizers Seaweed water fertilizer More Natural Herbicides Saving Seeds from Last Year’s Crop Maintaining your garden Beneficial Insects for Pest Control Essential Tools for Your Sustainable Garden Sustainable Gardening in Limited Spaces Know about pollinators Appendix Desertification control and rangeland management Leaf Compost Music of the hills by Saki Author Bio Introduction It was in the 1980s that the word sustainability in regard to an environment began to be associated with nature, environment, agriculture, and thus gardening. Horticulturalists believing in sustainable agriculture decided that it was easier for humans to use natural resources in a way to get better yields. They have been doing this for millenniums. However, this drain on the natural resources was going to cause the depreciation of such resources one time or the other because mother nature cannot keep nourishing and replenishing her without getting back something of what she gave. And this gave rise to the concept of sustainable gardening. Harvesting things you have grown your own self from your garden is such a positive feeling of achievement. The idea was that use what you can, from nature’s bounty, and then give back to her, what you can so that you and she work in tandem in a symbiotic relationship. So all of us home gardeners can use sustainable gardening tips to make beautiful gardens with eco friendly designs, use of biodegradable materials, use of organic fertilizer and using native plants to sustain the environment and make a sustainable garden. A fruitful harvest is a lovesome thing God Wot – 14th-century saying When I was being taught agronomy at college in the 80s, nobody bothered about sustainable gardening. That was because in the East, the traditional agricultural practices were with the use of natural resources, because the agricultural traditions still belong to the middle 14 century in many parts of the country! That is why what is considered sustainable and organic gardening in the West today was an integral part of human existence in the Indian subcontinent at that time. We used organic fertilizer. We did not know about chemical pesticides or hormones. On the flipside, we did not know about agricultural development, which was taking place all over the world to get a better yield of food and crops. And that is why we relied on just the monsoon to feed our crops, and prayed to the rain God. If he did not come on time, we would be sunk. The bank and the money lender would take our land and then there would be no resort but to starve or go to the city to survive or lend ourselves out in bonded labor to a more prosperous farmer. This may sound shocking to people in well-developed countries, but this is still the sort of existence which is being led by people in many parts of the world. Even today, in this day of state-of-the-art technology and technological development, underdeveloped countries still follow obsolete agricultural practices, which do not take into account the natural resources already around them. And so, famine has been a part of their lives for centuries. So here are some rules which you are going to implement right now to make sustainable gardening possible.

A Beginner's Guide to Winter Survival - How to Survive Cold Weather

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

A Beginner’s Guide to Winter Survival - How to Survive Cold Weather Table of Contents Introduction Winter Storms and Warnings Freezing Rain Winter Preparation Winter Clothing What Do You Do in Cases of Frostbite? Symptoms of Frostbite Hypothermia Traveling In Harsh Weather Caught in a Blizzard Sheltering from Blizzards in Your House Defrosting Frozen Pipes Winter Survival Kit When to Call 911 Winter Fuels Carbon Monoxide Another Heating Tip Appendix Long-Lasting healthy foods Granola Pemmican Making Biltong the Traditional Way Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Mankind has been looking for the best ways in which to survive the harsh winter, for millenniums. That means that he knows that at one particular period of the year, he is going to be subject to ice, snow and cold temperatures. He is also going to face blizzards and storms. As man has not been built by nature to curl up in a warm cave and hibernate throughout the winter like more sensible animals, the onset of winter brings with it the heightened sense of self-preservation. In olden days, all man could do was huddle into a corner, around the fire, and keep praying for the blizzard to stop. During this time, he survived on the food that he had stored in his cave or in his place of shelter during the more clement and temperate months of the year. As time went by man found that it was easy to transport himself and his family to other places, on horseback, or in a cart. And that is why he managed to look for more temperate regions – where the weather was not so harsh – before the onset of winter. But as time went by, nature still kept to her rules of a harsh winter, but mankind did not learn much in terms of common sense. In fact, he persisted on going out in the cold, instead of staying under shelter. And that is why the popular melodramatic cliché of someone turned from a doorstep on a harsh winters evening remained a popular theme in theaters. Even today in 80% of the popular escapist novels, the dumb, but beautiful heroine (single and pregnant in 90% of the cases, according to manuscript submission requirements, goes driving in a blizzard. – I told you that she is dumb – And the multibillionaire hero rescues her. And there is going to be a happily ever after, on page 186, because he is going to marry her. And there we are, we have just wasted our money on another thoroughly idiotic novel.) In real life, she would have died of hypothermia, because she is not well clothed, does not have fuel and has been buried in a snowdrift.

The Magic of Turmeric For Health and Beauty

By: John Davidson,Dueep J. Singh

The Magic of Turmeric For Health and Beauty Contents Introduction There Is Something about Turmeric How to Grow Turmeric Best Soil for Turmeric. How to Harvest Turmeric Turmeric Essential Oil Storing Your Turmeric How to Grind Turmeric Using Turmeric for Dyeing Turmeric as an Insecticide Turmeric for Beauty Natural Skin Remedy Getting Rid of Skin Blemishes Getting Rid of Sunburn Turmeric Body Mask Oatmeal Turmeric Scrub Turmeric in a Toothpaste? Sprouted Lentil Veggie Burger Orange Turmeric Cake Marinated Grilled Prawns Savory Chickpeas Turmeric to Heal You. Tummy Parasites? Suffering from anemia? Turmeric for Curing Wounds Turmeric Antiseptic Turmeric and Onions team up against Colon Cancer Conclusion Introduction There is an ancient and amusing saying, very prevalent in the East," Mr. Rat found a rhizome of turmeric; he immediately opened up a grocers/herbalist shop!" This may be used to talk about a dreaming, ambitious person, who is trying to extend his wings beyond his capacities, but on the other hand, it talks all about the power of turmeric. As a grocer, Mr. Rat could not only sell turmeric as a condiment and as a spice, for cooking purposes, but he also had easy access to the cure-all for all ailments – turmeric! Scientific research in the West, has found out that turmeric, has antibiotic and germicidal qualities, but that was already known in the ancient alternative medicine of the Orient and of the East. It had to be a necessary part of the medical arsenal of every wise woman out there, in ancient times, because if she did not have easy access to the medicine man or to a physician, she just had to resort to plain old turmeric. So her family's cough and cold prevalent chest infections, cuts, wounds, and even skin problems in her teenage kids, with those pimples and skin blemishes could be cured by turmeric. The idea that turmeric is used just as a spice, giving flavor and a golden color to cuisine, is slowly and steadily disappearing from the Western mind. Instead, they are getting to know more about its curative properties, thanks to research telling them about Curcumin – a natural product present in turmeric, which keeps you safe, healthy, and also prevents cancer. Chinese, Greek, Egyptian, Indian, and Oriental medicine knew all about the value of this rhizome since ancient times. This plant belongs to the same family as the equally important curative Herb – ginger. The herb that you are going to get in the market, is going to be a golden yellow powder, made up of grinding dry rhizomes in a heavy-duty grinder. I remember one of the persuasive salesman, trying to persuade my father to buy some of his hundred percent pure, freshly ground in his own mill turmeric powder, packaged in his own shop. My father looked at him and told him, "last time I bought some of this hundred percent pure, freshly packaged powder from the market, I put a teaspoon full of it in the water, and I have got enough of saffron dye mixed in it to dye a turban!" That shut the sales man up, because that is when guilty conscience works. Yes it is true; the powder that you are going to get in the market today is possibly definitely not pure, that is why it is necessary for you to use a grinder to grind the rhizomes. This book is going to tell you all about the magic of turmeric, and you are going to be surprised to know that you knew so less about this amazing herb/spice. Not only is it being used extensively to cure and prevent life-threatening diseases, but it can help save you a lot of headaches and possible financial expenditure, related to your health in the future.

A Beginner’s Guide to Flood Survival - Flood Survival Tips and Techniques Table of Contents Introduction Types of Flooding Safety Tips – before a Flood Living in a Flood Prone Area Survival Kit For Warmth and Shelter 72 Hour survival Kit What to Do during a Flood What If You Are on the Road in a Flood Situation? Preventing Water Contamination Precautions When Confronted with a Flood If You Are Outdoors during a Flood After A Flood – Your Personal Safety Driving After a Flood Flooding and Insurance Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Floods have been one of the major natural catastrophes, which mankind has had to survive through the millenniums. Since prehistoric times, he knew that there were going to be occasions, when suddenly powerful spates of water would come churning down mountains, sweeping everything before them. The rains which affected mankind 7000 years ago, for 40 days and 40 nights must have brought its accompanying floods, which wiped out a large percentage of mankind. However, there were still survivors, those who got to other lands and raise their families there. These tales of the great floods have been a historic part and parcel of historic knowledge passed down the generations since the times of Gilgamesh. Even all these millenniums later, mankind is still vulnerable to floods, but with a little bit of technological know-how, and a little bit of preparedness, he can save his family from total disaster. Remember that this is the 21st century, and anybody who is under the impression that This Thing Cannot Happen to Me, is living in a fool’s paradise. We may be better prepared to survive, with State and Center rescue programs started up by our local armies, or our governments, to take care of us in case of a flood, but even those are not completely hundred percent effective and reliable, especially the weather is inclement. Survival of the fittest means that many people would rather be safe than sorry, and these includes people of rescue groups, working on flood disaster management and rescue.

Introduction to Fats and Oils - Cooking Fats and Oils for Good Health

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

Introduction to Fats and Oils - Cooking Fats and Oils for Good Health Table of Contents Introduction Butter What Is Clarified Butter? How to make Clarified Butter Margarine Lard Cooking Fats Olive Oil Coconut Oil Cholesterol Coconut Butter How to make Coconut Butter Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Why would anybody want to write a book on fats and oils, especially when they are used in cooking, you may ask. This is because most of us have a mindset that fats and oils in our food are definitely items to be avoided by any sensible person who is bothered about the state of his health. Well, the answer is that that we have become so obsessed about weight loss and weight gain, that we have forgotten one main medical truth. Our body cannot do without fat, and that is the reason why any diet which talks about 0% fat is not going to be helpful to our bodies. That is because our bodies are genetically and naturally programmed to have a layer of subcutaneous fat, which we normally call cellulite. That is to protect the inner organs from any sort of damage from external sources, and it is between the skin, the muscle and the inner organs. The vulnerable inner organs, especially in the stomach region are protected with this layer – the obese layer you call a beer belly – and that is why any fatty item you eat is going to be observed by your body and the fatty cells turned into “protective” cellulite. For millenniums, this fatty layer was considered to be a storehouse of energy, from which the body could get extra nutrition. When human beings were in a state of starvation or malnutrition due to the paucity of food, the fatty cells would break up and provide them with the necessary energy in order to keep going until the natural fat storage layer could be restored again with available food.

The “Toxic Poisons” in our Diet - Knowing More about The Long-term Harmful Effect of Refined Foods, Sugars and Salt

By: Dueep Jyot Singh,John Davidson

Table of Contents Introduction Benefits of Proper Amounts of Salt The Substitution and Usage of Rock salt Ancient Thai medicine And Diet Crystallized and Refined Sugars Proper Ancient Thai Good Health Diet Bleached and Refined White Flour Margarine and Hydrogenated Oil Artificial Milk Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was just fixing lunch, listening to a 1954 old-time radio program, starring Dick Powell. Richard Diamond was sponsored by Camel Cigarettes. I was shocked to hear that this radio program was telling about 198 million – yes, I have got the figures right – cigarettes, being sent to Army, Navy, and Air Force hospitals and camps, free of cost. The idea was to get men and women addicted to cigarettes. 138,781 doctors were supposedly asked about the brand of cigarettes they smoked in a cross-country nationwide survey, and they said “Camels.” No wonder the natural good health of a whole nation began deteriorating through deliberate misinformation given out by multibillion-dollar tobacco industries – smoke this mild cigarette for 30 days and you are not going to suffer from any throat irritation. Superstars smoke Camels, including Dick Powell. They of course did not tell you that Dick Powell died of tobacco addiction, tobacco poisoning, and cancer. I am surprised they did not start up a campaign for harmless "smokies" for your babies, keep them well occupied with a cigarette in their mouths… But I think that would have been a bit too much for even a credulous public to swallow, no pun intended. People finally came to their senses in the 80s, and decided to stop smoking. Even though the insidious propaganda and advertisements of this multibillion dollar industry still continues. But then man has always been self-destructive and nobody can teach him otherwise. This book is for all those people, who want to know something about the harmful long-term effects of refined foods, including salt and sugar, and how you can live a healthy life, without these poisons in your diet.

Some of them are traditional, some of them are comparatively modern or we can say 21st century innovations. For example, the traditional charcoal heating vessel in Japan called a Hibachi is now often used to grill or barbecue pieces of meat. In the same manner, barbecues, which were once done on an open fire, are now done under an electric grill. An outdoor grill is going to keep us out of the kitchen and also it satisfies some savage atavistic instinct in us which makes us crave juicy steaks, barbecued pieces of meat, roasted and grilled and charcoal burned medium rare or over cooked bite sized pieces of steak ever so often. It is the time of the hibachi and the barbecue. So if you have already heard all the unwanted advice given to you by diehard cooks, especially on matters of charcoal fires and wooden chips, here is some more advice, based on experience and time-tested cooking techniques done outdoors.

While animals and birds provided him with protein, he also looked towards the plant kingdom to provide you with herbs, spices, and other edible means of food. Out of these mushrooms and all their varieties have been an integral part of his cuisine down the centuries, all over the world. In ancient China mushrooms were used in alternative medicine more than 3000 years ago. They are still used to cure a number of ailments, along with problems related to the nerves, mind and psyche. The mushrooms used here in minute quantities have psychoactive and psychedelic properties. That is why ancient medicine men normally gave them to patients, who believed that they had gone through a spiritual trance which was life defining. These psychedelic trance inducing mushrooms are now called shrooms and even though they are illegal in many parts of the world, they are eaten by people who want a “fix”. Edible mushrooms are called mushrooms, while the poisonous varieties were called toadstools. Only very experienced “mushroomists” know the difference between an edible variety and a poisonous variety. And this comes only with proper training from older experienced mushroom collectors.

A Beginner's Guide to Tunisian Crochet

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

A Beginner’s Guide to Tunisian Crochet Table of Contents Introduction Crochet Tips For beginners Basic information about crochet How to Hold a Crochet Needle Starting to Crochet Chain stitch Double Stitch and Turning Crochet Stitch Symbols Abbreviations for Crochet Terms Making a Tunisian Needle Hook Introduction to Tunisian Crochet Starting on Tunisian Crochet Easy Tunisian Crochet Scarf Run Out Of Yarn? Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction One of the most popular traditional creative art forms, apart from weaving, knitting, or knotted work is crochet. In Victorian times, women used to spend hours making crochet covers to cover every visible surface, including furniture, and furnishings. This is of course apart from the dresses, scarfs, shoes, doilies, purses, pillow covers and anything else of which you could think, made by just one hook and some sturdy, colorful thread. Well, these women did not have much else with which to occupy their time, and they were just practicing an art which has been around for millenniums. Nobody really knows where crochet originated, although people in the East have been practicing it to make delicate patterned items for millenniums. That is why this book is going to tell you about Tunisian crochet. Crochet came to the West, especially to Europe in around the 16th century, when the demand for delicate lace like items made women switch to this technique. But I have a feeling, that this technique was brought to Europe, much before this, by the Crusaders, coming back from the East, and it was only in the 16th century that the nuns of France, Spain and Italy began to concentrate more on this technique to produce things of beauty. Lace crochet is still very popular today, and the art is applied to making handkerchiefs and table linen. Even more popular today is crochet using heavy and soft and fine wool to make articles of clothing and even things for your living room. I would call them dust catchers, but they last and last. So is it a surprise that time and again, old lace patterns serve to stimulate ideas for producing beautiful items, which have been inspired by some creative person who decided to pick up a crochet hook and some thread and found a magical new creative technique. Tunisian crochet and adapting it for making beautiful creations with one knitting needle made into a hook is my contribution to this age-old technique which was going out of vogue. So you can consider this book to be a salute to Tunisian crochet, which is going to be a boon for all those people who just hate knitting, but want to knit sweaters, scarves and other items, without the botheration of two needles. Tunisian crochet is also known as Afghan crochet and is considered to be a mixture of crochet and knitting. Ladies normally made a number of shapes on their hooks and when they had made 50 or so squares of the same size, they stitched them together to make huge shawls and wraparounds. These are the so popular Afghans which you wear today. So if you are crocheting squares with a crochet needle, intending to join the strips together with cross stitches to make an afghan, try making it in Tunisian crochet.

A Beginner’s Guide to Disaster Survival - Food Procurement - Finding the Best Animal Food Sources

By: John Davidson,Dueep J. Singh

A Beginner’s Guide to Disaster Survival Food Procurement - Finding the Best Animal Food Sources Table of Contents Introduction The psychological Aspects of Leadership Food and Water Learning How to Eat Unexpected Food Items Insects as Potential Food Sources Catching Grasshoppers Earthworms Snakes Other Reptiles and Amphibians Living off Crustaceans How to Make a Shrimping/Fishing Net Fish Making Fish Traps Collecting Mollusks Precautions – Collecting Amphibians Eating birds Mammals as a food source Conclusion Author Bio- Introduction Survival, – especially in adverse conditions, when you have suddenly been faced with natural or man-made disaster, – is based on a particular mindset. You may have read about people who have managed to get through and survive disaster and catastrophes, which are potentially life-threatening. On the other hand, there have been people who went through extensive survival training, and still could not manage to use their particular skills effectively and beneficiary in order to survive. So, even though the latter had the requisite knowledge and skills, what made them fail, when other lesser trained people succeeded? That is the will to survive. I know about an Army officer who brought his group of seven men through an enemy ridden territory after 31 days of harrowing mental, physical and psychological trauma. It was not his army training, which brought him and his responsibility back to base safely. It was also not their knowledge, about how to get food, save themselves from the enemy, make fire, make or take shelter in the best place available, and other factors which could make all the difference between life and death.

Chapter 3 How to get started Chapter 4 The Cardinal Rules of Gun Safety Chapter 5 Parts of a Gun Chapter 6 Learning to Fire your Gun Chapter 7 Practical Shooting – the sport Chapter 8 When you are under attack Chapter 9 Additional Safety Precautions Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Did you know that since the beginning of time, women and children have always been the focus of violence, especially brutality at the hands of their fellow beings? The cases of crimes against women and children have been a part of social life for centuries, and that is why self-defense against such incidents have also been a part of training and upbringing in many parts of the world down the ages. Different items for self-defense have been used down the centuries, by different peoples, and also training to protect oneself from harm has also been the way of life. However, such warrior training was stopped in the 19th and 20th century in many parts of the West, because people were more concerned about training their children either for a profession or for taking care of a family. That is why these self-defense and body strengthening exercises slowly and steadily went out of a normal day to day’s activities. From the 16th century onward, the idea began to be promulgated, that it was the man’s job to protect the woman, and it was sinful for a woman to think of anything to protect herself, because she was doing something which was contrary to her nature. Well, these were the dark ages.

A Beginner’s Guide to Cacti - How to Make a Cactus Garden

By: John Davidson,Dueep J. Singh

A Beginner’s Guide to Cacti - How to Make a Cactus Garden Table of Contents Introduction Cactus Spines Choosing Your Cacti Growing Your Cacti Preparing Soil for Cactus Suitable Soil for Cactus Preparing Leaf Mold Potting Your Cactus Plant Watering Your Cactus Watering Methods Light spray During Summer Cactus Decaying? Sunlight Hibernation for Cactus Protecting Your Cactus in the Winter Planting Your Cactus Offsets How to grow Cacti from Cuttings Cactus as Food Diseases and pests Appendix Cactus clubs Author Bio Introduction For all those people who have confronted a prickly pear, at least once in their lives, cacti are boring spiny plants. Also, cactus plants have long been the subject of a superstition that any house, which has cactus growing in it is going to be filled up with strife and trouble and arguments. That is because of the spines of the cactus which are known as spikes promote ill feeling. There is something so odd about a cactus plant that it is often difficult until you grow them yourself to believe that these really belong to the plant kingdom. Historically, how many pioneer explorers of the desert areas in America saw them in the twilight and thought stories of monsters with their arms outstretched, and no heads, who turned into plants in the desert in the morning. No wonder, these giants which can grow up to 63 feet have always been the subject for legends. Even today, most of us are told tales about the cactus, which many of us half believe. Some of us have heard that cacti are poisonous. Other people are going to tell us that cacti flower only once in 100 years, and only when the area is subjected to rain. The first tale is totally and true. The second tale is also untrue because certain species of cacti will flower, almost every year, if given proper cultivation and care. Cactuses, also known as cacti belong to the family Opuntiaceae. Many of these plant varieties have lost true leaves, but they still have fluted and ribbed stems. The stems store water, and many of the desert varieties have very short growing time periods. Their periods of dormancy may be long, because many times, they have to go without water and rainfall for years, especially when they are growing in the Atacama Desert. Cactus originally are natives of the Americas, except for some species, which grow in Africa.

A Beginner’s Guide to Keeping Ducks - Keeping Ducks in Your Backyard Table of Contents Introduction Raising Ducks in Your Backyard Choosing Ducks Dabbling Ducks and Diving Ducks Incubation of Ducklings Artificial Incubation Brooding Cleaning duck eggs Ducks and drakes Housing Your Ducks How to Make a Grass Run Keeping a Small Flock Traditional House Dimensions Preventing Flight over Netting Breeding Ducks for the Table. Preparing Ducklings Ducks and Water Feeding Your Ducks. Layers Mash for Ducks What is Grass Meal? What is Bean Meal? Drinking Water Conclusion Author Bio Introduction It must have been somewhere, and some time millenniums ago, when man found that the Mallard and Muscovy that he hunted in the marshes, and brought home to his family was a bird which could be domesticated. One is not very certain about which particular civilization decided that duck brought up in your own farmyard, was a good source of eating for the whole family. Roast duck, broiled duck, duck with seasonings and herbs, even wild duck, along with their cousins, the geese and the swans made excellent fare especially during times, when other food resources were not so easily available. Geese and swans are definitely not considered ducks, though they belong to the same family. The original ancestral species is the same, even though the characteristics differ. Geese and swans are larger in size and can be found in seawater, as well as in freshwater. Ducks are smaller in size, but prefer freshwater habitats. In the same manner, you should not confuse ducks with other aquatic birds like divers, coots and grebes. All of them are good eating, but they are unrelated, except for their liking for water. Apart from the meat content and eggs, ducks have also been reared for their soft down. Drakes are larger in size, when compared to the female ducks. Some of the popular species are Muscovy ducks, Mallards Paradise Shelduck and Aylesbury . The bills are long, broad and sometimes, they are serrated so that the ducks can feed on easily filtered aquatic plant and animal species. A duck shoot has always been a popular occupation of people who enjoy hunting for gain, especially when you are shooting these birds on the wing. A duck cannot fly when it is molting, and it normally molts before the duck group’s migration to a warmer climate.

One of my friends was telling me about how her ancestors lived long and healthy productive lives, for millenniums, surviving on just 10 fistfuls – she cupped her hands together and made a swallowing motion, – per meal. That made up a healthy mouthful. According to her, this was practiced even today, even in this day of plenty, because according to them 10 fistfuls of food was enough to make a satisfying meal for you. According to her, throughout the day, one did not go beyond 32 mouthfuls/fistfuls. Why 32? I queried. Why not 31 or 33 or much much more than that? Well, she said, 10 fistfuls per meal, 3 meals per day and 2 extra for when you are really hungry!

A Beginner’s Guide to Burns - Fire Disaster Table of Contents Introduction Immediate Dangers of Fire Knowing More about Burns Chemical Burns Electrical Burns Sunburns Thermal burns Immediate Care Emergency Treatment Wound care Using Honey How to Prevent Fires in the House Local Anesthetics for Burn Pain Skin grafting and surgery Complications Related to Burns Safety tips for Building Fires Outdoors Putting out the Fire Where can you Get Kindling? Appendix Physical and Mental Trauma – What Does a Fire Victim Go through Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction For millenniums, man has always been subject to natural calamities and disasters, like earthquakes, cyclones, floods and other catastrophes and upheavals, which have caused a lot of damage to lives and property. Out of these disasters, fire is one catastrophe, which has had a lasting effect on the economy and social aspect of an affected area, down the centuries. Fire disasters can be local, or they can be national. The great fire of 1666, destroyed a major part of London. Many ancient civilizations also talk about fires which destroyed cities, towns, and even countries. Most of them were man-made, especially the aftermath of war, or civil disturbances. Others came in the wake of natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons and tsunamis. “A burnt child dreads the fire” is an age old idiom. Down the ages, human beings taught their children, that though fire was a necessary part and parcel of their day to day fabric, it was the thing to be created with care. While it provided light and warmth, it could also provide death and instruction, when it was not kept under control. This is the reason why fire along with other natural agencies was worshiped as a god, in all the ancient civilizations all over the world. It had to be fed sacrifices in ancient times, and the God of fire placated to leave human beings alone, and not visit his wrath upon them, their families and their properties. An ancient Roman prayer went something like this to the gods – Oh, Almighty powerful Gods on my head the power of sword and fire. But protect thou my wife and children. Protect thou my lands. As sword and fire were two of the dreaded shadows under which the ancient lived, one can see how much the power of the fire was feared. No wonder people have instinctively down the centuries been apprehensive of this major force of nature, which brings in its wake disaster, death, and instruction, wherever it goes.

Introduction to a Minimalistic Lifestyle - Tips and Techniques to Decluttering Your Life

By: Dueep J. Singh,John Davidson

Introduction to a Minimalistic Lifestyle - Tips and Techniques to Decluttering Your Life Table of Contents Introduction What Has Stopped Now? Spring Cleaning Fever Rules of a Minimalist Lifestyle Why Are You Buying Something? Can I Afford This Thing Creating Tension for Ourselves Decluttering your living space Changing Yourself to Gain Happiness Author Bio Publisher Introduction A minimalistic lifestyle has been part and parcel of the human social fabric for millenniums. Why did humans need it? There was the time when humans were more interested in the struggle for survival against the elements, and against dangerous animals and also other human beings of other tribes. Slowly and steadily, human beings began to get more settled. Peace came onto the earth – or at least in their regions. Settlements began to grow. People began to settle down to an agriculturalist style of living, instead of going in for the Hunter lifestyle followed by their ancestors. Their Hunter ancestors 10,000 years ago – and ours, perhaps 25,000 years ago, and more – were not bothered much about gathering plenty of physical and material belongings to them. The concept of “your” and “mine” was not a common thing at that time. Nevertheless, they knew that they needed some basic materials to survive. These included clothing, hunting weapons and shelter. Utensils, they could do without, because all they needed was to have any hollow space available, and there they were, they could cook the food hunted during the day, and next day move their camps to other hunting grounds. But as human beings began to settle down, and began making permanent places in which to live, there began a steady search for knowledge and the expansion of mankind’s creative and artistic sensibilities. That is when the concept of Your and Mine came into existence. The instinct of possessing something which was not easily available or which was just the possession of one particular person began to crop up in the lives of human beings. And that brought with it sorrow, jealousy, envy, greed, and all the other negative emotions, which unfortunately are parts of our lives today.

Baking was just not restricted to making bread; you made biscuits, patties, pancakes, cakes, pies, and anything you wished with some oil, flour, eggs, milk and other healthy ingredients made up into a batter. After that, you just put it in a pan, put it in the oven, and allowed the heat to work its magic. Many of the baking recipes being used in grandma’s time, – and even before her time – have been passed down through the ages for generations. Not only were they tested and proven and eaten regularly, they were for the most part simple and yet unusual. In nearly all of them, the only ingredients needed were basic items which grandma kept on hand at all times. The modern-day bakery with its wide selection of readymade cakes and pastries and also food manufacturers, turning out new package mixes and delicious frozen delicacies have taken much of the fun out of home baking. So is it a surprise that not many youngsters of the coming generations bother much about learning how to cook, especially baking. That is because all these ready-made goods are wonderfully convenient and inviting, but most homemakers still enjoy home baking, now and then, when they have the time, energy and inclination. So it does not matter whether you are an experienced home Baker or just a newbie starting out to learn the really interesting new activity of home baking – this book is going to give you plenty of tips and techniques, where you can take full advantage of improved ingredients, reliable recipes, laborsaving appliances and controlled temperature equipment to help you bake that perfect cake. Each time, every time. That means you can have your cake and eat it too.
