mõnda vähemasti oli kirjas postimehes. toomapäev on pööripäev, 21. dets. artikkel ise selline:
Mättal peab enne talsit (jõulupühi) seitse mütsi peas olema, siis tulevat hea viljaasta, arvasid meie põllupidajatest esivanemad.
Lahtiseletatult: enne jõulu suured lumesajud, nagu seda tänavugi on näha saanud, ennustavad tulevaks suveks soodsat viljakasvu ilma. Teadusmeeste arvestuste järgi sajab puhtalt lund kõige sagedamini detsembris ja jaanuaris, teistel kuudel rohkem koos lörtsi või vihmaga.
Põhja-Eestis sajab lund detsembris rohkem, kui jaanuaris. Lõuna-Eestis on seis vastupidine. Üle-Eestiliselt kipuvad olema suuremad lumesajud detsembris ja jaanuaris Harju-, Rapla-, Järva- ja Pärnumaal. Eestis mõõdetud kõige suurem ööpäevane lumekogus kuulub Pärnule ja nii võib juhtuda keskmiselt iga kuue aasta tagant. Mujal Eestis ei ole sellist ilmarütmi märgatud.
Toomapäeva (21. detsember) tuisud tulevad ikka enne jõule. Vanarahvas ennustas, et kui toomapäeval tuiskab, siis tuiskab kogu talve. Toomapäeva tuisu järel aga saabuvad mõnigi kord suured, äkilised sulad. Tänavune ilmakäik armastabki kiireid pöördeid.
Talvekülma vahele võib sulaaega sekka tulla praegu Atlandil laiutava, jõudu koguva hiigelsuure madalrõhuala rüpelt. Samuti võib sula saabuda mõne kagutuulega ligi tikkuva lõunatsükloni poolt.
Nädalavahetusel ja uue nädala algul kestavad kiiresti vahelduvad, rohkem või vähem külmakraadidega ilmad. Selgetel öödel võib sisemaal tulla külma -20 kraadi ringis.
Rannikul on pehmem aga tuulisem, sajab vähest lund ja võib tuisku teha.
Pikalt külma vist ei tee, sest looduses on näha mõnda ilma pehmenemise märki. Veekogudel on jää peale vesi peale tõusmas ja settekaevud ning muu seesugune kipub aeg-ajalt haisema.
Nädala lõpul võib õhutemperatuur kerkida ülespoole, -10 kraadi ringi.
Majandusteadlase sõnul on vaesus tagajärg ja meie võitleme praegu tagajärgedega, selle asemel, et püüda põhjusteni jõuda. «See kõik hakkab pihta väga varakult, juba lasteaias,» teatas ta.
Arraku sõnul tuleb vahet teha neil, kes ei saa ja neil, kes ei tahagi.
Ainelisest vaesusest hullemaks nimetas Arrak vaimse vaesuse, öeldes, et tänane kriis on suuresti just vaimsete vääärtuste kriis.
---Kui eilsed teated Pariisist räägivad lumetormist, siis meie silmis on see väike liialdus, lund tuli juurde umbes 10 cm ja kirdetuule tugevus küündis vaevu 10 m/s.
Seevastu hetkel on lugu tõsine, sest just tänase päeva, õhtu ja reede öö jooksul tsüklon jätkab süvenemist ja muutub tõeliseks fuuriaks. Põhjuseks on üle Läänemere põhjakaare tuulega lisanduv külm Skandinaavialt ning samas tsükloni liikumisse haaratud Vahemerelt ja Mustalt merelt pärinev soe õhk, mis tõuseb kaugele Süda-Venemaale.
Viimaste arvutuste põhjal langeb õhurõhk tsükloni südames reede öösel Peipsi taga 985 hPa-ni ehk 739 mm Hg. Võrreldes meid aegade jooksul külastanud hirmutsüklonitega pole see ju eriti madal (Gudrun 9.jaan.2005, rõhk keskmes 960 hPa), kuid põhjatormi põhjustab kiire õhurõhutõus tsükloni tagalas. Ja see suurima õhurõhugradiendiga ala peaks haarama Soome lahe ja kogu Eesti rannaveed. Tugevate põhjatuulte (algul ka kirde- ja reede päeval loodetuul) haarab kogu Eesti mandriosa. Tuule kiiruseks on arvutatud 15-20 m/s, sellele lisanduvad merel ja rannikul veelgi tugevam iilid 22-25 m/s. Lumesadu, mis algas varahommikul Lõuna-Eestist, katab peagi terve maa ja intensiivistub tund tunnilt. Arvutuste põhjal on alust arvata, et suurima koguse lund saavad siiski tsükloni keskmele lähemad alad-seega Peipsist kuni Pärnu-Kunda jooneni. Lumesaju intensiivsust võib jälgida radaripildilt või siis tund-tunnilt lisanduvat lumekogust ilma automaatjaamadest, vaata. Jäme arvutus 1 mm sadu=1cm lund. Kuna tugev tuul tekitab ka tugeva tuisu, siis on lumekatte paksus 24 tunni pärast äraarvamatu. Kuid juurde võib tulla nii 20 cm lund, seda võib võrrelda näiteks 2008.a. 23.-25. novembrituisuga. Kes ääremail elavad, on täna veel võimalus tagavarasid täiendada ja sedagi kohe , sest õhtuks võib Lõuna-Eestis lugu karmiks minna.
26.11.2010 13:15
Kõige enam on viimastel päevadel lund sadanud Eesti põhjarannikul, kus lumekihi paksus ulatub kohati juba 38 sentimeetrini. Seevastu Lõuna-Eestis on lund päris nirult.
EMHI ilmavaatluse osakonna juht Külli Loodla ütles, et kõige paksem lumekiht mõõdeti Põhjaranniku lähedal Vanaküla vaatluskohas, 38 sentimeetrit. Palju on sadanud ka saartel. «Hiiumaal Lugusel oli hommikul 30 cm,» sõnas Loodla.
Ilmajaama kodulehel asuv lumekaart näitab, et rohkem ongi sadanud just põhjarannikul ja saartel, seevastu Kesk- ja Lõuna-Eestis piirdub lumekiht minimaalse, 4-9 sentimeetriga.
«Kõige vähem on sadanud Võrus, kus hommikul oli vaid 4 sentimeetrit lund ja Tõllistes sentimeetrit,» märkis Loodla.
Last year, the swine flu "pandemic"—warned to be catastrophic—was actually much milder than health officials warned.
Last year's flu mortality estimates turned out to be only one-third that of an average year, in spite of the emergence of the new human-bird-pig influenza virus you have come to know as swine flu.
Imagine that. The sky didn't fall after all.
Last year the United States contracted for the manufacture of more than 170 million doses of swine flu vaccine. Probably the most significant accomplishment of this website was that we were able to contribute to the fact that only 90 million doses were used in the United States.
Armed with the facts, less than one-thirdof the US population fell for fear mongering. And together, we can do it again.
But we have some high hurdles ahead.
For the past several years, physicians in America have been insisting that every child age 6 months to 18 years must get an annual flu shot. Making matters worse, health officials have now ramped up those recommendations, telling EVERY person over the age of 6 months get a flu shot, healthy or not, low risk or high.
Everyone. Three hundred million of you, every year from the year you are born until the year you die.
What will receiving lifelong flu shots every year do to your immune system?
With all of those vaccinations, will you be more susceptible to influenza-related complications and death?
We really don't know.
Health officials have leapt ahead with recommendations of "flu shots for all" without safety studies—so by getting a flu shot, you are effectively offering yourself up as a laboratory rat. In other words, YOU are the safety study!
It isn't just an ordinary flu vaccine they are promoting this year—it's the new trivalent vaccine, which may be even more reactive than the monovalent. This vaccine is a three-in-one, containing influenza A, influenza B, and 2009 pandemic swine flu (H1N1) strains.
Administering this highly suspect formulation to 300 million people has potentially disastrous implications. Red flags were already popping up last year, and this flu season has raised many more.
Australia's flu season precedes ours, so we can look to them for a preview of vaccine issues. By June of 2010, more than 1,000 adverse reactions in children under the age of 5 resulted in the Australian government's banning of flu vaccines for that age group. High fevers, vomiting and convulsions were the most widely reported reactions, which are also associated with long-term adverse health outcomes.
CSL's Fluvax appears to be the main troublemaker. However, CSL has objected to being singled out, claiming any of the other three vaccines on the Australian market could be to blame.
Just like last year where the experience in Australia with the swine flu was replicated precisely in the US, you will see the same happen this fall, winter and spring in the US. This is entirely predictable as is the lack of media coverage that this will receive.
Interestingly, the Sydney Morning Herald recently reported that Australian "public health experts have called for an independent body to monitor drug safety after it emerged that young children were more likely to end up in hospitals because of side effects from a flu vaccine than they were from the disease itself. The analysis contradicts government safety advice that the harm did not outweigh the risk and raises concerns about the Therapeutic Goods Administration's assessment of the vaccine."
Mark my words, the US will have the identical experience, and nine months from now you will see in the newspapers that children given the flu vaccine were more likely to wind up hospitalized than from those that actually got the disease.
These drug manufacturers have a horribly unethical track record with disturbing manufacturing errors. Many of the drugs remain indemnified from damage.
In the meantime, the 2009 pandemic H1N1 "swine flu" vaccine that has been put into this year's trivalent seasonal flu vaccine continues to be associated with lots of reports of devastating reactions:
- In Finland, France and Sweden, narcolepsy was reported in teenage children in response to Pandemrix monovalent swine flu vaccine, leading the Finnish government to suspend its use.
- In Korea, nearly 2,600 swine flu vaccine side effects were reported as of August 2010, ranging from allergic reactions to fevers to headaches—and including 10 deaths.
Children are not the only ones who seem to react more violently to the 2009 pandemic H1N1 component.
According to Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a special government committee has been created to investigate last year's H1N1 monovalent vaccine for signs it may be associated with more adverse reactions. What the committee found out provisionally is there were three signs of trouble with the H1N1 swine flu vaccine used last year.
Fisher outlined these three primary health concerns in a recent NVIC video update:
- Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), an autoimmune disease which has been associated with influenza vaccine since 1976, when the swine flu vaccine was first used. In fact, British government health experts acknowledged the link between the H1N1 vaccine and an increased risk of GBS earlier this month. Prior to this public admittance, the government had always denied such a link
- Idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), an autoimmune disorder, is a blood clotting disorder characterized by insufficient platelets
- Bell's palsy, a reaction causing temporary facial paralysis
Why are people having these worrisome reactions?
All vaccines are immune suppressive—that is, they suppress your immune system, which may not return to normal for weeks to months. Here are just some of the ways vaccines impair and alter your immune response:
- Some components in vaccines are neurotoxic and may depress your immune and brain function, particularly heavy metals such as mercury preservatives and aluminum adjuvants
- The lab altered vaccine viruses themselves may further impair your immune response
- Foreign DNA/RNA from animal tissues can wreak havoc in your body and trigger autoimmunity in some people
- Vaccines may alter your t-cell function and lead you to become chronically ill
- Vaccines can trigger allergies by introducing large foreign protein molecules into your body that have not been properly broken down by your digestive tract (since they are injected). Your body can respond to these foreign particles in the form of an allergic reaction
The flu vaccine may also pose an immediate risk to your cardiovascular system. One 2007 study published in the Annals of Medicine concluded that:
"Abnormalities in arterial function and LDL oxidation may persist for at least 2 weeks after a slight inflammatory reaction induced by influenza vaccination.
These could explain in part the earlier reported increase in cardiovascular risk during the first weeks after an acute inflammatory disorder."
Add to all those factors the immune-compromising effects of excess sugar in the average American diet, plus inadequate exercise and other lifestyle factors, and you've created the perfect setup for health problems far worse than influenza..
So the tradeoff you are making is TOTAL immune system depression (your defense against millions of pathogens) for temporary immunity against ONE infectious disease—in this case a few of the many viral strains of influenza—and that immunity is questionable.
Do you really want to trade in temporary immunity to a few strains of influenza for autoimmune disease or even cancer?
For seniors, this season's flu vaccine may be one of the most dangerous you've ever experienced, because seniors will likely get a vaccine that is FOUR TIMES as potent as that given to the rest of the population, as recently reported by the Chicago Tribune.
In the ACIP Provisional Recommendations for the Use of Influenza Vaccines, dated February 24, it states:
"A higher dose formulation of an inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine (Fluzone High-Dose, manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur, licensed by FDA on December 23, 2009) for use in people age 65 years and older will be available in the 2010-11 influenza season.
"Fluzone High-Dose contains four times the amount of influenza antigen compared to other inactivated seasonal influenza vaccines. …
Studies are underway to assess the relative effectiveness of Fluzone High-Dose compared to standard dose inactivated influenza vaccine, but results from those studies will not be available before the 2010-11 influenza season." [Emphasis mine.]
So, if you're age 65 or older, the CDC wants you to take a flu vaccine this fall that not only contains an antigen they previously said you probably already have antibodies to (H1N1), but that is also four times as potent, with no safety evaluation whatsoever until AFTER the season is underway!
This is madness. Seniors are already a group that can withstand the harmful effects of this vaccine the least...
Again, the CDC is asking you to be a part of a large public health experiment, which is why we're warning you.
If you are a pregnant woman, you and your unborn child may be the most defenseless of all potential vaccine casualties in the national infuenza vaccine experiment.
Barbara Loe Fisher states she is very concerned about the issue of pregnant women getting flu shots because of the lack of scientific data about the effects of this vaccine—particularly the H1N1 component—on pregnant women and their unborn babies.
She states:
"Last summer the NIH announced they were doing studies in children, adults and pregnant women with the H1N1 swine flu vaccine. About 120 pregnant women were supposed to be enrolled in a study in early September… We have yet to see any announcement of the results of those studies."
And without any scientific evidence about safety, are you supposed to blindly accept that flu vaccines are safe for you and your unborn child?
Here's another startling fact making this year's vaccination policy even more unconscionable.
Flu vaccine has now been officially listed as a Category C drug.
What does this mean exactly?
Category C is for drugs that do not have enough human or animal studies to establish safety, OR adverse fetal effects have been seen in animal studies but there is little human data.
According to FDA:
"Category C drugs are drugs that are more likely to cause problems for the mother or fetus. Also includes drugs for which safety studies have not been finished. The majority of these drugs do not have safety studies in progress. These drugs often come with a warning that they should be used only if the benefits of taking them outweigh the risks.
If you are a pregnant woman, your doctor may be pressuring you to get a drug that is not approved for you! This is just idiotic.
Thimerasol-containing vaccines are considered hazardous waste and can't be thrown into a garbage can, poured down a sink or flushed down a toilet because of the mercury—they're considered environmentally toxic. Yet, they want to inject them into your baby?
Why would anyone, pregnant or otherwise, want to be injected with a substance that is too toxic to dispose of down a drain?
Not only do flu shots weaken your immune system, expose you to toxins, and cause allergies and other adverse reactions, they don't work.
Yes, you read that correctly. Besides being fraught with complications, flu vaccines simply don't work to decrease flu incidence or flu mortality. Flu vaccinations keep coming up short in study after study—way short—when it comes to having any measurable impact on what matters most, which is reducing illness and mortality from the flu.
After the largest flu-vaccination campaign in Canadian history, a Canadian-led study (through the Cochrane Collaboration, a highly respected international network of researchers who analyze the scientific evidence, including the methodology, used in clinical trials) concluded that vaccinating nursing home workers had no effect on confirmed influenza cases among the homes' elderly residents.
Lead researcher Dr. Roger Thomas explained:
"What troubled us is that [shots] had no effect on laboratory-confirmed influenza. What we were looking for is proof that influenza ... is decreased.
Didn't find it.
We looked for proof that pneumonia is reduced. Didn't find it. We looked for proof deaths from pneumonia are reduced.
Didn't find it."
In fact, in April of 2010, Michael Osterholm, director of the national Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), publicly admitted that flu shots don't work in the elderly.
One factor that may explain this is the "healthy user" effect.
Lisa Jackson, a physician and senior investigator with the Group Health Research Center in Seattle, found that healthy people tend to choose flu vaccination, while the "frail elderly" didn't or couldn't. Her research suggested that flu vaccine itself does not reduce mortality at all.
Healthy (and health-conscious) people tend to get the vaccine AND come down with flu less often, not because of the vaccine itself but because they are healthier to start with.
Jackson concluded:
"The reductions in risk before influenza season indicate preferential receipt of vaccine by relatively healthy seniors... the magnitude of the bias demonstrated by the associations before the influenza season was sufficient to account entirely for the associations observed during influenza season."
Unfortunately, Jackson's papers were turned down for publication in the leadiing medical journals.
You may not be aware that only about 20 percent of flu-like illnesses are actually caused by influenza type A or B, according to CDC. The other 80 percent are caused by more than 200 other bugs that can make you feel just as sick - respiratory syncytial virus, bocavirus, coronavirus, and rhinovirus, to name a few.
Every day you're around viruses and bacteria, and when you're healthy, you usually don't get sick. But even if you do get sick, most healthy adults and children will not have a problem with influenza.
If you do come down with influenza and have a good immune response, you will likely quickly recover without serious complications, as well as obtain natural immunity to that strain of influenza and to similar ones.
Respiratory infections statistically increase with age as the average person's immune system generally weakens. When a person over age 65 dies of respiratory failure after a flu-like illness, their cause of death is nearly always labeled as influenza even if it is actually due to bacterial pneumonia.
The vaccine industry loves to attribute many deaths in the elderly to influenza because it pumps up the influenza mortality statistics and helps make a case for use of influenza vaccine.
But you have to die of something, and dying of respiratory viruses is quite common. Just remember this when reading flu mortality statistics: very few deaths from respiratory illnesses are actually caused by type A or type B influenza. viruses
Vaccine-acquired immunity is temporary, whereas the immunity you get by recovering from influenza is longer lasting. Look at Baby Boomers, for example. Evidence shows, if you are an aging baby boomer born prior to 1957, you are more protected and have a lower risk for pandemic H1N1 influenza that circulated in 2009 and other related influenza strains.
Why?
Because you have long-lasting antibodies that help you resist influenza, antibodies that you acquired by recovering from similar strains of influenza in past decades. Unfortunately, if public health officials and drug companies marketing vaccines have their way, your children and grandchildren won't be allowed the opportunity to develop this important natural immunity to type A and type B influenza strains.
So the question is this: why do we continue doing something that has been proven ineffective many times over? As the saying goes, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results."
The real way to prevent the flu is through optimal lifestyle and nutrition, and getting plenty of vitamin D, lowering stress and getting the right amount of sleep and Western medical science has glossed right over that.
Tom Jefferson is a physician based in Rome and the head of the Vaccines Field at the Cochrane Collaboration. Jefferson leads an international team of researchers who have combed through hundreds of flu-vaccine studies and have concluded the majority of these studies are "deeply flawed."
Jefferson states:
"Rubbish is not a scientific term, but I think it's the term that applies... We have built huge, population-based policies on the flimsiest of scientific evidence. The most unethical thing to do is to carry on business as usual."
I couldn't agree more.
Don't sit this one out! We've got them "on the run."
One of the top goals for NVIC is preserving your freedom of choice about if and when to use vaccines. As part of that mission, this non-profit charity has been fighting for your right to make informed VOLUNTARY vaccine choices since 1982.
During this Vaccine Awareness Week, NVIC is launching the online NVIC Advocacy Portal that will give you the tools you need to take action to protect legal medical, religious and conscientious belief exemptions to vaccination in YOUR state.
Right now, you need to register for the NVIC Advocacy Portal today! And while you are at it, please make a donation to NVIC so they can continue fighting on behalf of all Americans to make sure we don't lose our informed consent rights when it comes to vaccination.
Your donations to the NVIC help fund efforts that raise vaccine awareness, including the following excellent vaccine resources:
If you order products from Mercola.com this week, we will make a donation to NVIC with every order!
Remember, we DID make a difference last year—the flu vaccine was not mandated! But there are new threats to our freedom this year as health care workers are being threatened with being fired if they don't get a flu shot. We need to push back now or, like NVIC's President said recently, we all could be next to be targeted for punishments if we don't get a flu shot every year.
By educating people, by giving them the information they weren't getting, we made the difference last year. And this year, we can do it again. Join with me and NVIC and get involved.
Stay tuned to this newsletter for more updates, or follow the National Vaccine Information Center on Facebook. Together we CAN make a difference!

Vanarahva ilmatarkust Postimehest:
Esivanemate pikaajaline ennustus sügistalviste ilmamuutuste kohta kõlas nii: “Mihkel (29. september) mõtleb, Siim (28. oktoober) külmetab, Mart (10. november) kestab, Kadri (25. november) sulatab, Andres (30. november) arutab, Nigul (8. detsember) niisutab, Toomas (21. detsember) tuiskab.”
Lahtiseletatult tähendaks see, et esimesed külmad ööd, kui päikesetõusul maa härmas, aga päeval veel soe, tulevat septembri lõpul (Mihkel mõtleb). Oktoobris ilmad päev-päevalt jahenevad ja mõnel aastal võib kuu lõpus maapind kergelt külmuda (Siim teeb sillad soode peale).
Novembri algul, vahel varemgi sajab lund vihmade vahele. Maa võib valgeks jääda (Mart katab). Esimesed lumed küll kauaks maha ei jää ja külmad vahelduvad suladega (Kadri sulatab). Novembri lõpul võib olla nii sula kui külma (Andres arutab).
Detsembri algul on ilm sageli millegipärast sulapoolne, sajab vihma või lörtsi (Nigul niisutab). Jõulude paiku või kuu lõpus teeb tormi ja tuisku (Toomas tuiskab).
- Astronoomiline sügis algas tänasel täiskuuööl, 23. septembril, kui kell 06.09 siinse aja järgi ületas Päike taevaekvaatori ning päev ja öö on terves maailmas ühepikkused. Viimati langes täiskuuaeg sügisese pööripäevaga kokku peaaegu kakskümmend aastat tagasi, 23. septembril 1991. aastal
- Peale sügisest võrdpäevsust algab põhjapoolkeral sügis - päevad lähevad lühemaks, ööd pikemaks ja ilmad külmemaks.
- Sügisene pööripäev ehk sügisene võrdpäevsus on ööpäev iga aasta 22. või 23. septembril, mil kogu Maal on öö ja päev võrdse pikkusega ehk 12 tundi. Sügisesel pööripäeval lõpeb põhjapoolusel polaarpäev ja algab polaaröö, lõunapoolusel aga algab polaarpäev ja lõppeb polaaröö.- Sügist ilma ennustas ka 21. septembril olnud sügisene Madisepäev. Otepää kandis arvati, et kui madisepäeval sajab, on tulemas väga kuri vihmane sügis. (Sel aastal ei sadanud :). See päev, nagu mitmed teisedki septembrikuised pühad, tähistas loomade talveuneks valmistumise algust: kadusid kärbsed, sääsed ja maod.
täna meil päike ja + 9C
You might have heard that non-stick pans were dangerous to use, but I have to tell you that they are perfectly safe.,. Just so long as you don’t actually cook with them, because the moment you heat them, they start to liberate fluoride vapors that are so toxic they will kill small birds. Ninety-five percent of Americans, including children, have the perfluorinated compound PFOA in their blood. But that’s not all. The CDC’s Fourth National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals, 2009 (which is considered the most comprehensive assessment to date of the exposure of the U.S. population to chemicals in our environment), detected not just PFOA, but a total of 12 different types of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in Americans tested. It’s easy to see how such a vast majority of people can be exposed when you consider the most common sources of these chemicals, which includes: As you can see, some of the most commonly used household products contain these chemicals. Although it may be quite difficult to eliminate all sources of these toxins since they’re so pervasive, you would likely make a significant dent in your family’s exposure simply by swapping out your non-stick cookware, considering you use your pots and pans to cook almost every day of the week. So-called “non-stick” cookware is a MAJOR source of PFC’s, particularly perflurorooctanoic acid, known as PFOA, and these pans quickly reach temperatures that cause the non-stick coating to begin breaking down, releasing its toxins into the air. When your non-stick pot or pan reaches 680 degrees F (which takes about three to five minutes of heating), at least six toxic gases are released. At 1,000 degrees F, the coatings on your cookware break down into a chemical warfare agent known as PFIB. These chemicals are easily absorbed by your body and the food in the pan, turning that healthy, home-cooked meal toxic... Researchers have already linked various PFC’s to a range of health dangers. Elevated LDL cholesterol levels are just the beginning of the problems these chemicals can cause. In animal studies, PFOA has been associated with: Other studies have shown that PFC’s can cause:

USA Georgia ülikooli teadlaste sõnul ei ole toataimed mitte ainult ilusad vaadata, vaid need võivad päästa elu.
Ka vähendava taimed kontoris kunstmaterjalidest tekkivat saastatust, puhastades õhku.
Uurijate sõnul on head kontoriõhu puhastajad luuderohi, vahaga kaetud lehtedega taimed, sõnajalad ja asparaagused
Maailma terviseorganisatsiooni WHO andmetel sureb siseruumide saastunud õhu tagajärjel tekkinud haigustesse aastas 1,6 miljonit inimest.
Mõnes paigas on siseruumide õhk saastunum kui välisõhk. Õhu kvaliteeti mõjutavad mitmed asjad nagu ehitusmaterjalid, värvid, mööbel, rõivad ning isegi kraanivesi.
Teadlased katsetasid mitmete taimedega, kas ja kuidas need siseruumide õhku puhastavad.
Uuringut juhtinud Stanley Kays sõnas, et mõned taimed puhastavad õhku paremini kui teised, kuid kõik taimed on võimelised kahjulikke aineid hävitama või absorbeerima.
Ka on taimedel psühholoogiline mõju, kuna nad on rahustavad.
«Taimed mitte ainult ei aita head tervist säilitada, vaid nad võivad näiteks ka firma käivet ja kasumit kasvatada. Taimed tekitavad kontoris rahuliku ja positiivse õhkkonna, mõjutades nii töötajaid kui ka kliente,» selgitas Kays.
Oma lähedasest sugulasest lillkapsast on ta väärtuslikum, sest sisaldab klorofülli, eriti rohkesti ka karotiini, C-vitamiini, B-grupi vitamiine ja rauda. Spargelkapsas seedub hästi, tema maitse meenutab pigem sparglit kui kapsast. Brokoli on kasvutingimuste suhtes lillkapsast vähem nõudlik ja valmib varem.
Taimed istuta kasvukohale mai esimesel poolel vahekaugusega 40–50 cm. Tihedamalt istutades areneb vähem külgharusid, mis kasvatavad samuti õisikuid. Jälgi, et istik satuks samale sügavusele kui kassetis kasvades. Pärast istutamist kasta korralikult.
Spargelkapsas vajab kogu kasvuperioodil rohkelt vett, muidu jäävad õisikud kidurateks ja puituvad. Spargelkapsale ei meeldi booripuudus, seda toiteelementi on lihtne anda puutuhaga. Kobesta aeg-ajalt taimede ümbrust, et muld oleks kohev ja õhurikas.
Spargelkapsa roheline õisik koosneb jämedatest lihakatest õievartest ja hästiarenenud õiepungadest. Toiduks tarvitatakse õisikut koos lihava, sparglit meenutava õisikuvarrega. Varajased sordid valmivad juba 40–50 päeva pärast kasvukohale istutamist. Pärast põhiõisiku eemaldamist hakkavad lehekaenlad kasvatama väiksemaid kõrvalõisikuid, mis valmivad 16–20 päeva pärast. Nii jätkub spargelkapsast esimeste öökülmadeni.
Õisikute korjamisel ole hoolikas: õige aeg on siis, kui õienupud on hästi väljaarenenud, kuid veel mitte avanenud. Sooja ilmaga lähevad need lahti juba poole päeva jooksul ning hõrk sparglimaitse kaob. Toiduks valmista nagu lillkapsastki. Keeda õisikud aurutis kergelt pehmeks, neid võib lisada supile või tarvitada iseseisva toiduna. Sobib hästi sügavkülmutamiseks.
Lehtkapsas
Lehtkapsa kähardunud lehed on sageli elegantselt pika varrega, värvuselt hele- või tumerohelised, hallikad või violetsed. Küllap on teda just sellise välimuse tõttu hakatud kutsuma ka palmkapsaks.
Lehtkapsas on suurima toiteväärtusega kapsateisend. Tema mineraalainetest ja C-vitamiinist pungil lehed on eriti väärtuslik toidulisand hilissügisel ja talvel, sest lehtkapsas ei karda külma ning võib aias edasi olla. Kõige maitsvam ongi ta pärast esimesi öökülmi, kui lehtedes olev tärklis on muutunud suhkruks. Kevadel saab tarvitada lehekaenaldes tekkivaid pungi. Lehtkapsas on hästi kiurikas, kiudained viivad aga teatavasti organismist välja kahjulikke ühendeid, muuhulgas ka kolesterooli.
Vali selline kasvukoht, kus lehtkapsa sügisene ilu esile pääseks. Mulla suhtes pole ta nõudlik, kasvab hästi ka raskemal mullal. Sobiv istutusaeg on mai teine dekaad. Jäta taimede vahele 60–70 cm, sest nad kasvavad 65–75 cm kõrguseks. Kasta korralikult ja võta ära alumised kollased lehed. Kasvuajal ei pruugi väetada. Augusti lõpul-septembri algul võid lehtkapsad istutada lilleklumpi, kus nad on pilgupüüdjaks hilissügiseni.
Lehtkapsa mõrkjas maitse lisab omapära salatitele. Kuna lehed säilivad hästi, saab neid kasutada taimeseadetes.
[[2]] Nuikapsas
Nuikapsas on kõige lühema kasvuajaga kapsateisend, varajasi sorte võib tarvitama asuda juba varasuvel. Mahlakas suhkrurohke ümar varsvili sisaldab palju vitamiine. Maitsvad ja tervislikud on ka noored lehed, milles on mineraalsooli ja vitamiine koguni paar-kolm korda rohkem kui varsviljas. Varast nuikapsast ongi otstarbekas süüa koos lehtedega. Kuna karastatud ja juurdunud istikud taluvad kuni 6 külmakraadi, saab nuikapsast kasvatada kiletunnelis enne tomatit või kurki.
Seemned külva mai algul otse kasvukohale 25–30 cm vahega. Püüa külvata üksikult, et hiljem ei peaks harvendama. Kasvutingimuste suhtes on ta vähenõudlik, lepib ka viletsama mullaga. Piisab, kui pärast 3–4 pärislehe tekkimist anda lämmastikurikast pealtväetist. Istutatud taimi väeta alles pärast juurdumist. Kasvuajal kasta korralikult ja kobesta mullapinda. Kui vahepeal jääb niiskust väheseks, võib nuikapsas lõhki kasvada.
Jälgi hoolega kahjurite ilmumist, eriti otsekülvi puhul. Maakirbukahjustus on ohtlik idulehe faasis, siis võivad taimed täielikult hävida. Esimese pärislehe ilmumisel oht väheneb. Kapsakärbse vaglad kahjustavad juuri ning taim närtsib.
Pärast istutamist kata taimed kohe kattelooriga, siis ei pääse kapsakärbes jt kahjurid neile ligi. Kahjureid hoiab eemal ka tuhaga tolmutamine ja nõgeseveega kastmine.
Nuikapsa varsvilju tuleb kasutada noorelt, kui nende läbimõõt on 5–10 cm, vananedes muutuvad nad puiseks ja maitsetuks. Varaselt nuikapsalt võib saada kaks saaki: jäta koristamisel varre alumine osa, mis süüa ei kõlba, juure külge — sinna kasvab 2–3 uut väiksemat varsvilja. Toiduks sobib toorelt, hautatult ja küpsetatult.
Uurijad avastasid, et teatud meditatsioonitehnika mõjutab füüsiliselt aju seisundit.
Nimelt leidsid Hiina ja USA teadlased, et isegi lühikese mediteerimiskursuse järel tugevnevad ühendusteed nende aju osade vahel, mis reguleerivad emotsioone, kirjutab Daily Mail.
Täpsemalt oli vaatluse all integratiivse keha ja meele treeningu nime all tuntud meditatsioonitehnika IBMT. See põhineb traditsioonilisel Hiina meditsiinil ja paneb rõhku nii kehaasendile, mentaalsete piltide loomisele, keha lõdvestamisele kui hingamisele.
IBMT mõjude uurimiseks korraldati kuu aega kestnud uuring, mille raames algajad igal tööpäeval pool tundi rühmas mediteerisid. Teine algajate rühm tegeles samal ajal harilike lõdvestumistehnikate õppimisega.
Osalejate aju skaneerimine näitas, et IBMTga tegelenud inimestel hakkasid erinevate ajuosade vahelised ühendusteed tugevnema juba kuuetunnise harjutamise järel. Teise rühma puhul sellist mõju ei täheldatud. 11 treeningtunni järel oli erinevus juba selgelt näha.
Kõige suuremad muutused tekkisid aju eesmises vöökäärus, mis aitab reguleerida käitumist ja emotsioone. Eesmise vöökääru vähest aktiivsust on siiani seostatud dementsuse, hüperaktiivsuse, depressiooni ja skisofreeniaga.
Sama uurimisrühma varasemad katsed näitasid, et juba viiest 20 minuti pikkusest IBMT sessioonist piisab, et märkimisväärselt stressi vähendada.
