Successes

I really do get a complete dichotomy of messages in my daily life. On the one hand I see advertisements and pamphlets promoting the latest flu vaccine while moments later I see images and messages like the one above. And others like the Canadian survey that found people who had the flu shot were 30% more likely to get the flu and that the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine increased the risk for narcolepsy—a very rare and devastating sleeping disorder—in Swedish children and adolescents by 660 percent. Any wonder some people get confused and give up!
Anyway, just wanted to share some of the success stories I received recently. The Nutri-Blast Powders continue to win a growing army of enthusiasts. A couple of girls report the Greens+ instantly improves energy levels. And it seems the mothers to be are finding a similar advantage to the Mother’s Blend too!
And one mate doesn’t need much at all of the Hypertension Formula to do better with his blood pressure.
Check them out if you would like more energy or…

Heartlbleed Security Bug

Earlier this week a security bug has been discovered in a popular cryptographic software (OpenSSL) widely used to secure the internet putting millions of passwords, personal information and credit card numbers at risk.
Why is Heartbleed such a big deal?
Heartbleed affects the encryption technology used by companies to protect online accounts for banking, email, instant messaging and e-commerce.
How does it work?
Heartbleed creates an opening in SSL/TLS (an encryption technology used, marked by the small padlock and “https” on websites to show traffic is secure). The bug makes it possible to snoop on the traffic between the website and the web browser even when showing “https” and the closed padlock.
What do I do if I own a website?
Get your website administrator to verify your website is not affected by this bug. A fixed version of OpenSSL has been released, but it is up to the administrator to apply it. They can read more here http://heartbleed.com/ You can run a check yourself, but this might not be 100% accurate.
How do you protect yourself?
You will need to change your password, but until those sites have applied the fix there is no use. It would be up to the companies affected to inform you that they have applied the fix.
To give you an idea, Yahoo Inc. has more than 800 million users around the world, said that most of its popular services affected had been fixed but work it still being done on other services they have not identified.

Cleaning Fruit

Cleaning Fruit
Believe it or not the sink is not the cleanest of food storage containers! Probably better to do this in a bowl. Or first clean the sink very well. After the soak, rinse in some water to which some hydrogen peroxide is added. Do not mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar into the same container. The resulting compound, peracetic acid, can turn lead into powder!
