世の中で一番硬いものは、ダイヤモンドといわれていますが、
ダイヤモンドよりも硬い物質が発見されたようです。

その名は、「Lonsdaleite(ロンズデーライト」

実験によると、ロンズデーライトはダイヤモンドより58%高い圧力に耐えることがわかりました。

ロンズデーライトは地球上ではグラファイトを含む隕石(いんせき)の衝突によってまれに形成されるとのこと。

Beware of the Lipstick Brand!

LIPSTICK INFORMATION:

Something to consider

Next time you go shopping for
Lipstick…….



This comes from someone
Who works in the breast cancer unit
at

Mt.Sinai Hospital , in Toronto

From: Dr. Nahid Neman

If there is a female you care anything about,

Share this with her. I did!!!!!

I am also sharing this with the males on my e-mail list,
Because they need to tell the females

THEY care about as well!

Recently a lipstick brand called ‘Red Earth’

Decreased their prices from
$67 to $9.90.

It contained lead.

Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

The lipstick brands that contain lead are:

CHRISTIAN DIOR

LANCÔME 

CLINIQUE 

Y.S.L 

ESTEE LAUDER

SHISEIDO 

RED EARTH (Lip Gloss) 

CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)

MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.


The higher the lead content,

The greater the chance of causing cancer.

After doing a test on lipsticks,

It was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick
Containedthe most amount of lead.

Watch out for those lipsticks
Which are supposed to stay longer.

If your lipstick stays longer, it is
Because of the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand.

2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick  colour changes to black,

Then you know the lipstick contains lead.

Please send this information to all your girlfriends,

Wives and female family members.

This information is being circulated at

Walter Reed Army Medical Centre
Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer,

Especially breast cancer

Ahhha . What a disappointment to recieve this information as lipsitick is my lifesaaver especially when I need some colour to give my face a lift, after a late night (every night is late!).

Anyway take care sisters when selecting your lipstick brands.

Must be an island girl at heart!

I love frangipanis. The fragance is tantalising.

Its appearance is enchanting.


I remember our family home in Fiji and how I would play with my siblings in all the beautiful fauna and flora.

インドで牛のオシッコがドリンクに!

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 10:00 am on Monday, February 16, 2009


インドで、牛の尿を原料にしたドリンクが発売されるとの事。(^^;

その名は、サンスクリット語で「gau jal(牛水)」

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS)というヒンドゥー国粋主義グループの「Cow Protection Department(ウシ保護部局)」が開発中で、年内には製品化される見通しとのこと。

牛の尿には、肝臓病や肥満、ガンなどを癒す効果があるらしい。

「牛水」は主に牛の尿と薬草やアーユルヴェーダの生薬でできており、安価になる予定とのこと。

インドに行く機会があれば、ぜひ挑戦していただきたいドリンクです。

SAVE THE TREE?

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋, へんな英語 英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 1:25 pm on Sunday, February 15, 2009

Maybe the world is suffering from excess carbon
dioxcide because some advertising suggests that
we should only SAVE THE TREE.
As most of you readers will know that `THE` in
English indicates (1) or singular form in grammatical
terms; and what happenned to the (s) in the latter
part of  TREES?
My advice to you all is that we should try and save
as many trees as possible if we want to suffer less
from toxic fumes and leave a cleaner world for
our children.

SAVE THE TREES

こんなipod ドックほしくない?

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 11:08 pm on Friday, February 13, 2009


とってもキュートなipodドック発見しました!

まるでパックマン(なつかしい(^^;)みたいな風貌に、
スピーカーとウーハー付。

ボディにタッチすると、ボリュームが調整できるそうです。

Dancing with God

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 10:30 am on Tuesday, February 10, 2009



A friend sent this to me . Its pretty cool so I thought I would share it with you!

When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing ‘dance’ at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn’t flow with the music,
And everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
Both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
Or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
And attentiveness from one person
And gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw ‘G’: I thought of God, followed by ‘U’ and ‘I’.
‘God, ‘U’ and ‘I’ dance.’
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
That I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God’s blessings
And mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
And to guide you through each season of your life.
This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life,
Please share this message with someone else.
Interceding in prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
So let’s continue to pray for one another.

チャイ

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 10:48 pm on Sunday, February 8, 2009


昨日は、撮影の仕事で、インドカレーの写真を撮った。

インドカレーといえば、仕上げに飲むのが決まってチャイ。

チャイって、ただのミルクティーのことだと思っていたのだが、
調べてみて、ちょっと違うということがわかった。

なんと、普通の紅茶でチャイを作っても、おいしくならないという。

歴史をひも解くと、インドがイギリスの植民地だった頃にさかのぼる。
インドは、紅茶の栽培に適していた。
良質な茶葉が取れると、それはイギリスに運ばれた。

商品化できない茶葉や、崩れた茶くずがチャイの原料となる。

この茶クズをおいしく飲むために考案されたのがチャイなのだ。

茶クズを少量の水で煮出し、さらにミルクを加えて煮ていく。
そして、砂糖を加えて煮るとチャイができる。

高級な茶葉で作れば、さぞおいしいチャイができるかと思うが、
実際には、おいしくならないらしい。(^^;

そこが、また面白い。

What is Wisdom?

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋, 街角美術館 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 9:34 am on Tuesday, February 3, 2009

http://www.wisdombook.org/

Some people say that wisdom is inspiration but I believe it to be intuition.

Wisdom is not about other people`s experiences or accumulated knowledge

from being a well-read individual.

It is about learning to listen to the original loving voice inside of your heart

that can only speak the truth and lead you to what , why and where you are

inevitably meant to be.

This, for me, is the secret of  Wisdom!
