This is worth the couple minutes it will take to read.
Some new points that haven’t yet been drilled into us thru the media (yet):
Apparently it is a similar strain to the flu of 1918, which took over 50 million.
It also targeted women and children. So I guess we’ll get in line
The following advice, given by Dr. Oz, makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know:
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it’s almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions.
Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fullyhighlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead offocusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).
2. “Hands-off-the-face” approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat or bathe.)
3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine or Hydrogen Peroxide if you don’t trust salt).
*H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms.
Simple gargling prevents proliferation.
In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one.
Don’t underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.
4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water, or hydrogen peroxide.
*Not everybody may be good at JalaNeti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose softly once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cottonbuds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viralpopulation.*
5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C(Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can.*Drinkingwarm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction.
They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
Pass this on to your entire e-list. You never know who might pay attention to it – and STAY ALIVE because of it.

When reading the title, you might think “Aah…yet another writing site paying peanuts.” This is how I thought when I came to know about InfoBarrel. Anyways, as I love writing and want to earn more money to pay my bills, I thought of giving InfoBarrel a try. There is no harm in trying out; I slowly read through their FAQs and the way they work. How did I start making money?
Writing is my passion and I love writing about anything under the sun. I already write for few online writing websites including Triond. InfoBarrel is an online writing website where you can post articles, videos, audios or presentations. I am not that savvy in creating videos or audios and therefore I decided to stick on with writing articles. The entire signing up process is pretty simple.
How do you sign up with InfoBarrel and start making more money writing articles? The sign up form is pretty simple; you just have to fill in the required details and have to verify the e-mail that is sent by InfoBarrel. Once you are done with this step, set up your profile. You are now all set to earn money. Oh…I forgot to mention one step; you have to link your Google AdSense ID to make money. They share 75% of the revenue generated. I think majority of the websites share only 50%. Start writing articles that will fetch more traffic and I would say you have already started making money with InfoBarrel.
Few important points you should remember when writing for InfoBarrel:
Articles should be written by you and you should not have posted this article in any other place earlier.
It takes about 24 hours to approve the article you wrote.
You should not submit the article to various other websites after InfoBarrel approved your article.
If you do not wish to wait for 24 hours to get your article approved and published, you may have to get the pre-approved status. To do so, you must have:
10 approved articles
Been a member for a minimum of 14 days
Should not write articles for the sole purpose of creating backlinks
Should write on a variety of topics rather sticking to one particular category
Should have good knowledge in English and your articles should be free from spelling mistakes and grammatical errors
You can also earn by referring other writers to InfoBarrel. You get 2% of what they earn.
I think it is always better to have more than one channel to earn money. I’m happy writing for both InfoBarrel and Triond.
If You Can’t Differentiate Between Your and You’re, You’re in Trouble
Who cares? English teachers and grammar police cares. Even, 7th grader too. Really.
If you heard about the thread on facebook that says, “If you can’t differentiate between your and you’re, you deserve to die”, you would definitely think that this phrase is too much for a curse. And, That’s where this post came from. Is the curse too much for just two different things? That’s why I change the title for a better one. Maybe, friendly. And, yes. Anyone should know how to differentiate that.
In English grammar, your and you’re are two different things. It’s like when you say, “You’re cool”. You are contracting ( combination) ”you and are” and if you say, “That’s your cool sweater”, you are indicating an ownership or something.
Your is a possessive form of you and should be use to imply ownership. Referring to something that a person has.
Example:
1. Your phone is ringing.
2. That’s your pen, isn’t it?
3. Where is your book?
You’re is a contraction of you and are. If you can’t contract that, you’re in trouble. If you have doubt, consult a dictionary or grammar book.
Example:
1. You’re beautiful. (You are beautiful)
2. You’re right. (You are right)
3. I know that you’re very good in tennis.
