5.If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 .If you haven't, add 1758.
6.Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number.The first digit of this was your original number.(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

Info: Benefits Of Vitamin C

Source:The New Straits Times

VITAMIN C is an essential nutrient and one of the most known vitamins around. Many of us take Vitamin C supplements or drink juices rich in Vitamin C. But do you really know the significance of Vitamin C?

Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and plants. It can repair and prevent damage to cells, heal wounds, boost immune system, and make your teeth and gums healthier.

Studies have shown Vitamin C is known for its positive effects on immunity, prevention and treatment of colds and flu. The Vitamin reaches all areas in the body on a cellular level, and serves as a primary ingredient or collagen to our connective tissue. Futhemore, it aids our body to absorb iron and natural antioxidant.

Vitamin C can help slow down the aging process by scavenging free radicals, preventing a build up of cell damaging toxins that accelerate aging. Other studies have also revealed it protects artery linings by making them more resistant to plaque formation. What this basically means is that vitamin C offers protection against heart disease, which is one of the beneficial reasons for consuming plenty of vitamin C. When you lack or don't ingest the required quantity of vitamin C, it could lead to serious diseases including scurvy,which happens when you don't ingest the required quantity of vitamin C. Scurvy manifests in the form of swollen gums, cheeks, feet, toes, fingers, and hands. Eventually bleeding occurs from wounds, loss of teeth, and opening of wounds.

You can get vitamin C naturally in fresh fruits and vegetables like, citrus juices, oranges, strawberries, broccoli, spinach, cabbages, cauliflowers, carrots, and more. You can also get it in supplement form if your daily diet lacks fresh vegetables and fruits. The amount of vitamins your body needs is determined by your age, lifestyle, gender, and weight. It also depends on several other factors and health conditions.

Consult with a nutritionist about your diet and get to know whether your body is getting the adequate proportion of vitamins. If not, you have to start taking vitamin supplements. The recommended dose is 60 to 95 miligrams daily to maintain general health. It is also important to note that the body absorbs Vitamin C through the intestines and moves through the bloodstreams into cells,and excreted through kidneys, it can reach a saturation point. So it is best to take several doses throughout the day and not one big dose at once. Excess consumption of vitamin C may lead to formation of kidney stones, aneamia, and diarrhea. Therefore take your vitamin supplements after consulting the doctor.

Info: New tyre pressure monitor said to improve safety

By: Leandi Cameron
3rd July 2009 (engineering news)



TYRE PRESSURE SENSOR Serco’s Preggie Govender and Phumlani Bayeni demonstrate the new P-Eye tyre pressure sensor

Some 68% of trucks, trailers and semitrailers checked during a recent study conducted in the Netherlands by Goodyear showed that the vehicles were being driven on underinflated tyres.

After two years of intensive market research, a truck and trailer tyre pressure monitor, dubbed the P-Eye, has been produced in the European country. The product is expected to significantly reduce costs on heavy vehicle maintenance.

The device is now available in South Africa from truck and trailer manufacturer Serco Industries, which has been awarded the sole agency to market the monitor in Southern Africa.

Serco CEO Clinton Holcroft emphasises that the product saves on fuel, maintenance and labour costs and adds exponentially to road safety.

He says that a quarter of all commercial vehicle tyres are underinflated, increasing the wear and tear of the tyres by 15% to 20%. Most blow-outs and resulting accidents are also caused by insufficient tyre pressure.

A visual check on any vehicle fitted with the device enables an operator to quickly determine whether the vehicle’s tyres are sufficiently inflated, as it is fitted with a flashing light to warn the operator if the tyres are underinflated. This makes the system safer than manual checks. Underinflated tyres also have greater resistance and, hence, result in the vehicle burning more fuel and emitting more carbon into the atmosphere.

“The potential saving on labour costs for large-fleet managers is significant. Instead of having a team of staff manually checking tyre pressures, the job can be effectively done by fewer staff looking out for the flashing lights,” Holcroft says.

The monitor also replaces the tyre valve cap and monitors the preset minimum tyre pressure – if the pressure drops more than 5% below the required setting, the light-emitting diode lamp starts to blink.

Some of Serco’s recently built trailers have already been fitted with the monitoring system.
