What Does Norton 360 Product Numbers Look Like?

The fruit of the month: Diospyros pomegranate and sweet, two bombs of energy and health.

The countryside in autumn oltrato is very sad, the trees are leafless , the land plowed without veg are still missing and etazione the blinding whiteness of the snow . The only color comes from its persimmon trees and pomegranates, which seem to countless Christmas trees decorated with red or yellow balls.
Although persimmon and pomegranate not belong to the same botanical family, they share one common feature: the astringency. All we have done at least once in a lifetime experience of the unpleasant bite a persimmon is not yet mature (allappante ") or inadvertently chewing a piece of pomegranate peel: we found out mouth and teeth" associated ". This phenomenon is due to tannins, polyphenolic compounds that have the ability to precipitate salivary proteins (the mucin). During the maturation or the mezzanine level of persimmons, however, are the fruit of the same protein to precipitate the tannins, turning them into those little points that blacks are often in the pulp of the fruit: Then the result is not astringent.
The persimmon (kaki, or also known as lotus or diospiro) is originally from China, Korea and Japan. It 's a subtropical species, but with appropriate rootstock can be grown in cold regions, such as the Trentino.
The only reliable criteria to determine if a persimmon is ready to eat are the smell, texture and shades of skin color. The criterion of softness, however, is not always reliable.
persimmon varieties are divided into:
- astringent variety, which after reaching physiological maturity must wait a little longer 'so that the precipitation of tannins: Pharmacist Honor (also known as kaki Misilmeri) Cost, Rojo brilliant, Muscat, Hachiya, Fenn, Light Bulb, Kawabata, Sharon (also known as Triumph) ...
- variety not astringent, which can be eaten immediately to physiological maturity: Fuyu, Jiro, Gosho, Suruga ...
- variety variables, if the seeds have the flesh is dark and non-astringent, if you do not have the seeds and the pulp is light, astringent:
Lotus Romagna (also called Kaki-type), Chocolate, Vanilla (also called persimmon-apple), Mercatelli, Brazzale, Castellani, Mandarin ...
At the industry level, in order to remove the astringency, different procedures are used: 1) immersion in hot water 2) perfusion with ethanol 3) modified atmosphere with the addition of ethylene 4) controlled atmosphere with a high rate of carbon dioxide is clear that the first two cases are not acceptable in terms of a natural and instinctive, because changing the nutritional and organoleptic properties of the fruit.
A household level, however, I recommend the persimmons ripen immature at low temperature (4 ° C): the mezzanine level will be slower, but the texture will be better and prevents the fruit rot. To make the aging more consistent, you can put next to other persimmon fruits that give off ethylene, such as apples. The ripe persimmons, however, should be stored at a temperature lower than 1 ° C, making sure that does not fall below zero, for example during the night frost.
At the same botanical genus of the common persimmon, also belong to other species that produce fruits worthy of attention:
- wild persimmons, smaller and more concentrated, are of different varieties, including those of ' St Andrew's tree, used as rootstock for persimmon plus common.
- the black sapote , a native of Central America, but can be successfully cultivated in Sicily. The fruit has the same form of a persimmon, but the skin is green and the flesh is black (see photo). The taste and texture of black sapote remember much chocolate mousse. Unlike the shit, its maturation must be warm (21 ° C) and when mature should be stored at 13 ° C.
- the mabolo, a native of the Philippines, unlike the black sapote has strictly tropical needs. The taste of mabolo is very distinctive and aromatic, but the import is made very difficult by the fact that the fruit must be harvested already mature, and so it is very fragile.
should also remember that some species of Diospyros are used for non-food purposes: some provide the ebony black, one of the best wood, and unfortunately in danger of extinction because of overfishing, from other varieties, however, the tannin is extracted, used for tanning hides.
Pomegranate (also called pomegranate) is native to the Caucasus, Iran and Afghanistan. When we think of the pomegranate, the tree comes to mind that we have in the garden, with beautiful bright red flowers, and fruit acids, so that I could not eat more than a few grains. Well you know that it is the ornamental variety, while the variety of food has no acidity and sweet, but can be grown are subtropical climate. In Europe, the sweet variety is grown mainly in Spain in Granada (whose name derives from the fruit) and especially in the area of \u200b\u200bElche. In Italy the cultivation of sweet pomegranate are very few, almost all in Sardinia and Sicily. In the store I found in my home sweet pomegranates imported from Tunisia.
There are many varieties of sweet pomegranates, different in shape, color, flavor and harvest time (which can range from August to December): the most common variety Spain is in the spring, while the most common in Italy is the tooth of a horse.
Pomegranates should be collected at full maturity (when the beans are purchased within the optimum sweetness), but in any event before the rains make the fruits split, because otherwise go bad very quickly, just like also figs. Once collected, if the skin is intact can be stored for several months (even up to March) at 10 ° C, in a place without temperature extremes. If the fruits are reported of cracks or dents, you have to eat them as soon as possible and stored at 5 ° C.
How do you eat a pomegranate? Take a clean dish (to collect the beans that inevitably will fall), do not cut the whole fruit because much juice is wasted instead sunk the knife in just half a centimeter of skin, making two incisions at the Cross along the diameter of the fruit, through the petiole and the tip, cutting the rind into four equal segments, then you force only with your hands to break the pomegranate into halves, then take each half and divide it into two segments: so you do not waste a single drop juice (see photo).
When you go to buy pomegranates, know that there is no way to recognize a pomegranate from the outside from a variety of sour pomegranate varieties of sweet you are obliged to open it, so do not be discouraged if you do buy a few empty.
That's all folks!

Nosology alternative (second part): the vision of Hamer


The prim a part of this column was devoted to Jean Seignalet, but today I'll talk about another me say it has provided a classification of diseases on the basis that had never before been used, at least not in an equally organic : Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer. The biography of this doctor can read a bit 'up everywhere Int ernet, but I somehow doubt that you will find any source that can truly be considered objective, since the movement originated by Hamer aroused and still arouses reactions extremist and radical both by supporters and by opponents.
I have no intention of discussing the validity of therapy Hamer, any of its allegations against the medical establishment and the Zionists. I'll take care only of his nosology, that is, its system of classification of human disease.
I start by saying that, although I have read a lot of Hamer and Hamer, I have not read it all, because he is still alive and in business: when I have a little 'time, in fact, I'll try to get hold of his later writings.
According to Hamer, the human disease should be classified according to the type of "biological conflict" to which they are associated. In my opinion, what triggers violent reactions against Hamer is not so much his intransigence (in fact, he categorically denied that other factors may be equally crucial in the genesis of diseases), because its ambiguity, although it has sincerely tried to define what conflicts in which biological and context should be framed, so far these concepts remain vague and subject to interpretation.
my part, I will try not to add further interpretation, but will attempt to simplify and disambiguate its vocabulary, which unfortunately we can not precisely define science.
"Conflict organic" are essentially the opportunities that life gives to itself in order to evolve. This seems to be something so mystical, and unfortunately it is! Apparently their performance depends on "everything" except by our will, fall upon us when we least expect them and disarm within a few fractions of a second all our defense and response mechanisms, precisely because they are responsible for disrupting our lives as effectively as possible.
Another revolutionary principle of Hamer concerns the way in which these "biological conflicts" are developed in practice: each of them, this creates certain changes in a "synchronic " in three distinct levels (but apparently closely related ) in the body, brain and psyche. The revolutionary aspect is not so much in the correlation between the organic and the psychological sphere, as in "synchronicity" means the way in which these processes take place, suggesting that it is not the result of a communication between mind, the brain and the body (as does the PNEI), but that changes in all three spheres occur "simultaneously".
According to Hamer, any biological conflict would immediately take what he calls a "program", which consists of several phases and stages: the initial shock, the active phase, the resolution of the exudative phase, the epileptic crisis, restoring the stage and finally the return to normal. Each of these moments and phases is characterized by certain events in the body, brain and psyche. So, summarizing, according to Hamer any disease depends on the type of conflict and the organic phase / time when there is a "program" triggered by the same biological conflict, as well as other factors such as gender (male or female) and lateral (right-handed or left-handed).
Conflicts biological basis of the "programs" in question are very different between them, but Hamer thinks he has done something good and right broadly classified into four categories depending on which part of cervollo is interested (sorry the irony, but if you read the writings of Hamer understand that often the explanations are a bit Hamer 'pulled by the hair, and that more attempts to simplify his thought makes it more messy, but you want to ... nobody's perfect!): we examine each of these four types of biological conflicts and diseases linked to them, according to Hamer.
1) Conflicts involving the formation of an edema in the brain stem (consisting of the bulb or medulla oblongata, the pons and midbrain): the keywords associated with these conflicts are "survival risk" "lack of an essential (food, light, sound, water, air or anything else that is perceived as essential)", "unable to use a key," "individual priorities," "life in danger" , "to be a refugee, being alone in the world." The diseases associated with these conflicts relate to the tissues derived dall'endoderma: adenocarcinoma (renal, bronchioloalveolar, prostate, esophagus, duodenum, liver, colon, bladder ...), adenomas (esophageal, thyroid, polyps ...), water retention, seminoma, teratoma, nodules goiter and thyroid, pancreatic cysts, tuberculosis, mycosis, pulmonary emphysema, Crohn's disease, paralytic ileus ...
2) Conflicts involving the formation of an edema in the cerebellum : keywords associated with these conflicts are "protect", "defend themselves against a direct attack on our physical or moral integrity." The diseases associated with these conflicts affect tissues derived from mesoderm old: melanoma, tuberculosis, leprosy, breast adenocarcinoma (nodules / cysts, breast cancer), mesothelioma, ascites, anti-social ...
3) Conflicts involving the formation of edema in white matter of the brain: the keywords associated with these conflicts are "strengthening the individual or group", "need to grow," "fail to do something, "" suffer a devaluation, "" feel inadequate, "" not being equal. " The diseases associated with these conflicts affect tissues derived from mesoderm Latest: boils, abscesses, bacterial and viral infections, cellulitis, arthritis, tendonitis, sarcomas, polio, muscular dystrophy, osteoporosis, anemia, osteomyelitis, leukemia, gout, periodontal disease, Addison's disease, varicose veins, Cysts (ovarian, renal ...), endometriosis, hydrocele, megalomania ...
4) Conflicts involving the formation of edema in gray matter of the brain (ie cerebral cortex and midbrain): the keywords associated with these conflicts are "integrated into the life of the group," report with others "," fighting for territory, for the family or the nest, "to suffer a separation, the lack of contact," "feelings of frustration or emotional castration of sex," "identity conflict", "act or fixed assets "," insensitivity or hypersensitivity, "" suffering or happiness. "The diseases associated with these conflicts affect tissues derived dall'ectoderma: caries, viral infections, cataracts, keratitis, conjunctivitis, psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, atopic dermatitis, keratin, urticaria, vitiligo, alopecia , dandruff, bronchial carcinoid, small cell lung, asthma, cough, intraductal breast cancer (breast cancer), fibromyalgia, rheumatism, epilepsy, numbness, paralysis, neuralgia, headaches, migraines, insomnia, heart disease, coronary artery disease, abdominal pain, peptic ulcer , I and II diabetes, thyroid carcinoma, large cell lymphoma, cysts euthyroid, phobia, depression, mythomania, nymphomania, aggression, anorexia, autism, paranoia, bulimia ...
hamer system lends itself to some criticism easy:
- the division of embryogenic embryogenic Hamer does not correspond to the division normally accepted by science, such as the mammary gland is not derived from the mesoderm, but old dall'ectoderma , or the prostate is not derived from the mesoderm dall'endoderma but recently, Hamer and also does not take into account the very germ of the neural crest.
- hameriana the verifiability of the diagnosis, so widely Hamer himself against his detractors, is based on the examination of reports of CT (without contrast) on these TAC Hamer would be able to systematically identify some special shapes (referred to as "on target") that would confirm his thesis: a pity that radiologists who have the courage to give him reason you count on tips of the fingers of one hand ...
- Hamer's thesis may be considered too simplistic, but remember that the thesis of Dr. Franz Joseph Gall's phrenology they were, but despite this, Gall was considered the father of modern neuropsychology. In my view, is that Gall Hamer in the basic principle is correct, but is interpreted as extreme and unscientific.
- Hamer said that would be used by microorganisms in order to complete the "programs" triggered by biological conflicts. This could also be acceptable, but the breakdown of the types of microorganisms and tissues using it and completely inaccurate. Hamer says for instance that the mycobacteria would be used only dall'endoderma mesoderm and the old, while it is known that tuberculosis attacks the bones, joints and lymphatic system. Hamer also said that viruses are only used by the tissues of the ectoderm and mesoderm recently, while we know that the intestine can be affected by Rotavirus, Reovirus and the dall'Adenovirus, and skin may be attacked by the HHV8 virus (which causes Kaposi's sarcoma).
Nevertheless, in my opinion, the nosology hameriana remains a very important discovery for understanding the disease, if only to explain what the liquid medicine as "vegetative dystonia " when it has the courage to admit that sometimes our bodies "freak out" and no longer behaves as expected from him.
