[www.keralites.net] Use Your Microwave Safely

 

Use Your Microwave Safely

Content provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

 
 

 
 
The microwave oven has become a fixture of the American kitchen. According to Appliance Magazine, only DVD players and digital televisions were shipped out of U.S. factories in greater numbers than were microwave ovens and ranges during 2006.
FDA regulates the manufacture of microwave ovens and, under a strict safety standard, sets and enforces rules of performance to assure that radiation emissions do not pose a hazard to public health.
An important part of microwave oven safety is proper use and maintenance, as recommended by the user manual.
Here is more information to help ensure safe use of your microwave.

How Microwaves Cook

Microwave oven safety begins with understanding how these time– and energy–saving technological wonders work.
Microwaves—the actual waves produced by these ovens—are a type of electromagnetic radiation. These waves cause water molecules in food to vibrate. These vibrations, in turn, produce the heat that cooks the food.
The waves are produced by an electron tube within the oven called a magnetron. They are reflected within the oven's metal interior; can pass through glass, paper, plastic, and similar materials; and are absorbed by food.
Contrary to popular belief, microwave ovens do not cook food from the "inside out."

Microwave Ovens and Health

Manufacturers must certify that their microwave ovens comply with strict FDA emission limits. The emission limits are well below the threshold for risk to public health.
Most injuries related to microwave ovens are the result of serious thermal burns from hot containers, overheated foods, or exploding liquids.
There have been extremely rare instances of radiation injury due to unusual circumstances or improper servicing.

Safety Tips for Operation

  • Follow the manufacturer's instruction manual for recommended operating procedures and safety precautions.
  • Don't operate a microwave oven if the door doesn't close firmly or is bent, warped, or otherwise damaged.
  • Never operate a microwave oven if you have reason to believe it will continue to operate with the door open.
  • Refer to the instruction manual for your oven. Some microwave ovens should not be operated when empty.

What Else Should You Know?

Microwave-Safe Containers: Use cookware that is specially manufactured for use in the microwave oven. Glass, ceramic containers, and all plastics should be labeled for microwave oven use. Generally, metal pans or aluminum foil should not be used. The microwaves reflect off them, causing food to cook unevenly and possibly damaging the oven.
Erupted Hot Water Phenomena: Hot-water eruption can occur if you use a microwave oven to super-heat water in a clean cup. ("Super–heated" means the water is hot beyond boiling temperature, although it shows no signs of boiling.)
A slight disturbance or movement may cause the water to violently explode out of the cup. There have been reports of serious skin burns or scalding injuries around people's hands and faces as a result of this phenomenon.
Adding materials such as instant coffee or sugar to the water before heating greatly reduces the risk of hot-water eruption. Also, follow the precautions and recommendations found in microwave oven instruction manuals; specifically the heating time.
Pacemakers: Today's pacemakers are now designed to be shielded against electrical interference. Consult with your physician if you have concerns.
Checking For Leakage: There is little cause for concern about excess microwaves leaking from ovens unless the door hinges, latch, or seals are damaged. If you suspect a problem, contact the oven manufacturer, a microwave oven service organization, your state health department, or the closest FDA office.

[www.keralites.net] ഈശ്വരന്‍ ഉണ്ടോ? തെളിവെന്ത്?

 

ഗുരു നിശ്ശബ്ദനായി ചിരിച്ചു. പിന്നീട് ഒരുനുള്ള് പഞ്ചസാര എടുത്ത് ശിഷ്യന്റെ നാവിലിട്ടു കൊടുത്തു. കുറച്ചു കഴിഞ്ഞ് ഗുരു ചോദിച്ചു.
"എങ്ങനെയുണ്ട്?"
"നല്ല മധുരം"
"മധുരം എന്നുവച്ചാല്‍ എന്താ?"
ശിഷ്യന്‍ എന്തോ പറയാന്‍ ശ്രമിച്ചു. പിന്നീട് മൗനം പൂണ്ടു. അപ്പോള്‍ ഗുരുദേവന്‍ പറഞ്ഞു. "മധുരം എന്തെന്ന് പറയാനാവില്ല അല്ലേ അനുഭവിക്കാനേ കഴിയൂ… അനുഭവിച്ചവന് അതറിയുകയും ചെയ്യാം. അതു പോലെതന്നെയാണ് ഈശ്വരാനുഭവവും.
നല്ല ഉറക്കത്തിന്റെ തെളിവ് ഉണ‍രുമ്പോഴുള്ള ഉന്മേഷമാണ്. രാത്രി മഴ പെയ്തതിന്റെ തെളിവ് മുറ്റത്തെ നനവാണ്. ഈശ്വാരാനുഭവത്തിന്റെ ഫലം നിരന്തരമായ ശാന്തിയും സമാധാനവുമാണ്. അതുകൊണ്ട് ഈശ്വരനെ അറിഞ്ഞവനെ അറിയാന്‍ നമുക്കു കഴിയും. അവന്റെ ശാന്തിപൂര്‍ണ്ണമായ മുഖവും, പെരുമാറ്റവും തന്നെ അതിനുള്ള തെളിവ്."

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: Total Heart Eclipse [1 Attachment]

 
[Attachment(s) from Murli dhar Gupta included below]

Total Heart Eclipse

 
October 30, 2013
There is a song by a duo with the name of Simon and Garfunkel called the 'Sound of Silence' with the main line being, 'hello darkness my old friend'. Life at its finest is when hearts connect especially to hearts of love together. Life without a heart connection leaves the heart in darkness, but the mind moves through life moment to moment with flashes of energy or some semblance of love. The heart is inevitably left to be in darkness on it's own while the mind chooses its path be it hopes of a full opening of the heart that, at best ends up as partial eclipse of the heart.

Reading and communicating each others heart is the path of love that sets the heart free to love with no limits. Couples inevitably settle into a routine that is an enabler to create chains around the feelings of the heart. Truth is, they likely both fell short of a communication and emotional exchange that results in a 'partial eclipse' of someone who was open in all ways. One of the partners may express more emotion and insight than the other, leaving a feeling of a gap and emptiness in the coupling, but ironically the more open one would likely not be open enough to merge in a total love with someone who could.

What ensues is friction, heart ache, disappointment that becomes a wheel that goes round and round with brief moments of hope or sunshine. It's like a 'duck taping' keeping the wounds of an inner unhappiness from spilling over to a total shutdown that  becomes a total heart ache eclipse for one or both. The path of love is rocky, and even dangerous to one's well being of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and 'hopes health' when two heart and minds are less than open. Likely it's a 'love trap' that can't be escaped from by starting again. People tend to take the same 'baggage' with them that stunted the love before.

Love is not enough! Love IS enough if the other parts of life are payed attention to! Outer things have their value, but it's the chemistry of inner openness and total communication that fuels the 'fire of love' burning in a relationship where no 'heart eclipses' derail the joy and blessings of what can be called a divine love. Life is short. Know the difference between opportunity to grow deeper with less love and light, and what needs to happen within you to be receptive to a new opportunity. Love is easy when there are no gates, and two move as one heart. However, for those who see a total or partial eclipse of couple love, meditation is the path of the alone to raise the consciousness of self love. Either path, in a let go with total openness, brings the rays of an eternal love.
