LIBRENG SEMINAR
NG BAGONG BATAS SA PAGGAWA
NG KAHARIAN NG SAUDI ARABIA
AT IBA PANG ALITUNTUNIN
Handog ni
KaBayani ALEXANDER E. ASUNCION

SINU-SINO ANG SAKOP NG BATAS SA PAGGAWA?
Mga naka-kontrata upang magtrahaho sa iisang employer at ganun din ang mga manggagawa sa kumpanyang pag-aari ng gobyerno at charitable organizations, mga manggagawa sa establisyementong pang-agrikultura at animal husbandry na may sampu o mahigit pang tauhan, mga manggagawa sa establisyementong pang-agrikultura na sila mismo ang nagpo-proseso ng kanilang mga produkto, mga manggagawang nago-operate at nagre-repair ng makinaryang ginagamit sa agrikultura) ay may karapatang mabigyan ng ESB - Artikulo 5.

SINU-SINO NAMAN ANG HINDI SAKOP NG BATAS SA PAGGAWA?
Miyembro ng pamilya ng employer, gaya ng kanyang asawa, magulang, anak o apo na nagtatrabaho sa establisyemento nang walang ibang empleyado; mga katulong at naglilingkuran sa bahay; mga nagtatrabaho sa sasakyang dagat na ang bigat ay kulang sa 500 tonelada; mga nagtatrabaho sa bukid na hindi binganggit sa Artikulo 5; mga banyagang ang trabaho ay para gawin ang tanging gampanin na hindi lalagpas ang 2-buwan; at mga manlalaro at coach ng sports organizations – Artikulo 7.

HUWAG BASTA MAGRE-RESIGN KAHIT:
Pinalitan ang kontrata
Dinaya sa kontrata
Ibang trabaho ang ipinagagawa
May malaswang intensiyon ang amo
Malupit ang employer
May panganib sa kalusugan
Iniipit ang manggagawa

DAHIL PUWEDE MONG HINGIN SA KORTE NA PAUWIIN KA NANG LIBRE. Ayon sa Artikulo 81, puwedeng layasan ang kumpanya kahit walang notice o resignation letter at ang kumpanya mismo ang gagastos sa iyong repatriation, kung: (1) Hindi tinupad ng sponsor (kumpanya) ang kanyang obligasyon sa manggagawa. (2) Dinaya siya ng sponsor tungkol sa kundisyon ng kontrata. (3) Ang trabahong ipinagagawa sa manggagawa ay iba sa napagkasunduan, na sinasabi sa Artikulo 60. (4) May violent assault o nagkaroon ng malaswang intensiyon ang sponsor o ang miyembro ng kanyang pamilya sa manggagawa o sa kanyang pamilya. (5) Ang sponsor ay malupit sa manggagawa at hindi makatwiran ang trato sa kanya. (6) May panganib sa kalusugan ng manggagawa ang lugar ng trabaho at hindi inaayos ng kumpanya ang mga nasabing panganib. (7) Dahil sa hindi makatwirang trato ay iniipit ang manggagawa na siya ang pinalalabas na nag-terminate ng kontrata.
Legal at mananaig pa rin ang kontratang pinirmahan sa Pilipinas. Samakatuwid, ‘di na kailangan pang pumirma ng panibagong kontrata, lalu’t mababago ang mga kondisyon ng dating kontrata. Bagama’t pirmado lang ito ng agency, ito ay kikilalanin pa rin ng korte. Ang agency ay binigyan ng inyong kumpanya ng SPA (special power of attorney) para para siya’ng bahalang mag-recruit in behalf of the company, at purmirma sa kontrata o job offer. Puwedeng ireklamo ang employer ng contract substitution o panlilinlang – Artikulo 81.1 at 81.2.

PUWEDENG KASUHAN ANG EMPLOYER KUNG:
Binibinbin ang suweldo
Ayaw balikatin ang bayad sa iqama
Hindi nagbabayad ng overtime
Nagmumura at mapanlait
Nangangaltas sa suweldo
Gumagawa ng sariling alituntunin
Ayaw pauwiin ang manggagawa
Kulang ang ibinibigay na benepisyo

BINIBINBIN ANG SUWELDO:
Bawal sa batas ang ginagawa ng kumpanyang hingan ng pondo ang mga manggagawa. Walang karapatan ang kumpanyang binbinin ang suweldo ng manggagawa - Artikulo 61.1.
Kapag napatunayang nilabag ng kumpanya ang Artikulo 90 (bayaran ang sahod at overtime ng manggagawa sa takdang panahon ayon sa batas at ng kanyang kontrata), magmumulta siya ng hindi bababa ng SR500 at hindi lalagpas ng SR3000 sa bawat manggagawa – Artikulo 235. Samakatuwid, sa tulad ng kumpanyang may 200 na Pinoy, magmumulta ang kumpanya sa Labor court ng halagang SR100,000 hanggang SR600,000.

BAYAD NG IQAMA AT TRANSFER:
Kung ayaw kang bigyan ng iqama, o kaya ikaw ang nagbabayad ng iyong iqama, mas mabuting ipaabot mo na ang problema sa pinakamalapit na Labor office sa iyong lugar. Kumpanya ang dapat na magbayad ng iqama at visa (Artikulo 40.1), pati ang sponsorship transfer (Artikulo 40.3).
Ang mga gugulin sa proseso ng release o sponsorship transfer ay hindi dapat na akuin ng manggagawa, kundi dapat itong balikatin ng tumatanggap na kumpanya. Ibig sabihin, libre ang paglipat mo sa ibang kumpanya. Kung meron ka mang babayaran sa pinanggalingang sponsor, ‘yon ay mga obligasyon sa kontrata na dapat na bayaran gaya halimbawa ng mga nagastos ng kumpanya sa iyong pagpunta rito.

WORKING HOURS / OVERTIME:
Hindi dapat magtrabaho ang manggagawa ng mahigit 8-oras sa isang araw, o mahigit 48-oras sa isang linggo – Artikulo 98. Dapat bayaran siya sa sobrang oras na katumbas ng kanyang hourly rate plus 50% ng kanyang basic pay – Artikulo 107. Ang 8-oras na trabahong binabanggit sa Artikulo 98 ay maaaring maragdagan ng oras sa isang araw kung ang trabaho ng manggagawa ay hindi tuluy-tuloy – Artikulo 99. Ang oras para sa pagkain at prayer breaks ay hindi kasama sa opisyal na oras ng trabaho – Artikulo 102. Biyernes ang itinakdang day-off sa lahat ng mga manggagawa, pero maaari rin itong palitan ng ibang araw sa isang linggo - Artikulo 104.

KUNG MINUMURA AT HINAHAMAK:
Kung supervisor mo o may-ari ng kumpanya ang gumawa nito, isumbong siya sa opisina ng Labor dahil nilabag niya ang Artikulo 61.1 – tratuhin ang manggagawa nang may paggagalang at iwasan ang ano mang kilos o salita na makakasakit sa kanyang pagkatao at pananampalataya. Magdala ng testigo para lalong madiin ang inirereklamo mong tao.

PAGKALTAS SA SAHOD:
Kung hindi otorisado ang ginagawang pagbabawas ng inyong sahod, ireklamo ang kumpanya sa opisina ng Labor. Hindi dapat bawasin ang sahod ng manggagawa nang wala itong pahintulot – Artikulo 92. Kung ang halagang ibinabawas sa iyo ay mahigit sa kalahati ng iyong suweldo nilabag ng kumpanya ang Artikulo 93.

OFFENSES / PENALTIES:
Walang saysay ang isang alituntunin kung walang pagapatibay ang ministry of labor. Samakatuwid ang bawat alituntunin (o by-laws) ay dapat na dumaan at aprubado ng ministry – Artikulo 13. Hindi puwedeng ipatupad ang multa kung hindi ito nakalista sa alituntuning pinagtibay ng ministry – Artikulo 67.

EMERGENCY LEAVE:
Puwedeng bigyan ang manggagawa ng 3-araw na bakasyon para ipagluksa ang pagkamatay ng asawa, mga anak at magulang – Artikulo 113. Kung hindi ka man pauuwiin, dapat ay bigyan ka ng 3-araw na day-off o kaya bayaran ka ng overtime na 3-araw. Kailangang may hawak kang patotoo gaya ng death certificate para maibigay sa iyo ang karampatang bakasyon.
Ang pag-uwi sa Pilipinas sa panahong emergency gaya ng pagkamatay ng kapamilya ayon sa nabanggit na artikulo ay dapat na nakasaad sa kontrata kung sino ang dapat na magbabayad ng air ticket.

BAKASYON:
Ang bakasyon ay hindi dapat na binabalewala kundi dapat itong gamitin – Artikulo 109. May karapatan ang kumpanya na iyeskedyul at gawing “by rotation” ang bawat bakasyon upang hindi maapektuhan ang takbo ng negosyo. Maari itong ma-postpone ng hindi lalagpas ng 90-araw. Kung kailangan ng kumpanya na manatili ang manggagawa na huwag munang magbakasyon ng mas mahaba pang panahon, kailangan ang written consent ng manggagawa. Subalit ang extension ay hindi dapat lalagpas ng isa pang taon – Artikulo 110. Ang bawat manggagawang nakatapos ng limang taong sunud-sunod na serbisyo sa kumpanya ay may 30-araw na bakasyon sa bawat taon – Artikulo 109.

VACATION PAY:
Ayon sa Artikulo 111, karapatan ng manggagawa na bayaran siya ng hindi pa nagagamit na bakasyon kung aalis siya sa kumpanya bago gamitin ang bakasyon. Mayroon din siyang karapatan na mabayaran ng bahagi ng bakasyon na katumbas sa taon na kanyang ipinag-serbisyo. Wala sa batas na puwedeng ma-encash ang ticket, nasa diskresyon ‘yan ng kumpanya.

MEDICAL CERTIFICATE:
Kung ikaw ay sinaktan ng pisikal o binugbog, sa pulis ka magsumbong at humingi sa kanila ng medical referral na magpagamot sa hospital. Hindi magbibigay ng medical report ang hospital na pupuntahan mo kung hindi rekomendado ng pulisya. Mahalagang papel ang medical report dahil gagamitin itong ebidensiya kung magsasampa ka ng kaso sa mga taong nanakit sa iyo. Isumbong ang ginawang pambubugbog ng hindi lalampas sa 24-oras.

PAGKAKAIBA NG SPECIFIED SA UNSPECIFIED CONTRACT:
Specified ang isang kontrata kung nakalagay ang expiry date. Kung nakasaad sa specified contract na magtutuloy ito sa parehong kondisyon at may petsa kung kailan ito ulit magtatapos, specified contract pa rin ang tawag dito. Kung ang bawat panig ay sumasang-ayon na itutuloy ang kontrata kahit hindi na pipirma ng panibago, tatawagin itong unspecified – Artikulo 55.

HINDI NATAPOS ANG KONTRATA:
Kung 2-taon ang iyong kontrata at 1-taon lamang ang makokompleto mo, pagbabayarin ka pa rin ng iyong visa pati ticket. Responsibilidad ng manggagawa ang kanyang tiket na pabalik sa kanyang bayan kung nagpupumilit siyang umuwi nang walang makatwirang dahilan – Artikulo 40.2. Puwede siyang singilin ng employer ng hindi bababa ng SAR9,000.

CONTRACT EXPIRATION:
Matatapos ang kontrata kung sumasang-ayon ang bawat panig na tapusin na ito, o kung specified ang kontrata mo, matatapos naman ito sa kanyang expiry date – Artikulo 74. Samakatuwid, tungkulin pa rin ng kumpanya na i-repatriate ka kung tapos na ang iyong kontrata – Artikulo 40.

TERMINATION NOTICE:
Huwag magre-resign kung premature pa ang kontrata. Magbigay ng 30-day notice ayon sa Artikulo 75 kung ito ay indefinite/unspecified period. Dapat na may pirma/acknowledgment ang supervisor o kaya ng Human Resources sa kopya mo ng termination notice, na natanggap nila ang iyong abiso.
Kung ayaw tanggapin ang notice, ipadala by registered mail. Itago ang registration slip dahil magagamit mo ito kung dumating ang araw ng iyong pag-uwi na ayaw kang paalisin. Patutunayan ng registration slip o kaya ng acknowledged or received copy ng iyong abiso na sinabihan mo ang kumpanyang hindi ka na magpapatuloy sa iyong kontrata (kung irereklamo ang kumpanya sa korte ng Labor). Hangga’t maari, huwag gagamitin ang salitang “resign” kundi “contract completion,” kung natapos na ang kontrata.
Bagama’t matatapos ang definite/specified contract sa kanyang expiry (Artikulo 74.2), mas mabuti pa ring magpaalam nang maaga sa kumpanya kung ayaw mong
ma-renew pa ito upang makahanap sila ng papalit sa puwesto mo at hindi mabibinbin ang iyong pag-uwi. Nasa page 10 ang sample ng termination notice.

SINO’NG MAGBABAYAD NG REPATRIATION TICKET:
Kumpanya ang magbabayad ng inyong tiket pauwi ng Pilipinas kung natapos na ang inyong kontrata sa kanya – Artikulo 40.1. Samantala, responsibilidad ng manggagawa ang kanyang ticket na pabalik ng kanyang point of origin kung hindi siya kwalipikado o kung siya ang nagpupumilit na umuwi nang walang makatwirang dahilan – Artikulo 40.2.

KUNG WALANG AIR TICKET NA PAUWI SA PILIPINAS:
Inalis na ang libreng ticket na ibinibigay sa mga distressed OFWs dahil wala na rin ang mandatory repatriation bond mula noong 07 Hunyo 1995. Pero makakatulong ang Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995, kung hindi natapos ang probationary period at pinagbabayad ka ng iyong repatriation ticket. Kilala ito bilang “Republic Act #8042 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
Samakatuwid, idulog ang problema sa ticket sa pinakamalapit na opisina ng POLO/OWWA kung na-terminate ka during probation at walang pambili ng ticket pauwing Pilipinas. Reperensiya ang Chapter 15 (Repatriation) ng RA-8042, sections 53 at 54 (na ang recruiting agency ang bibili ng ticket), o kaya section 58 (na ang ang OWWA ang bibili nito kung ayaw makipagkaisa ang agency).

SERVICE AWARD / END-OF-SERVICE BENEFITS (ESB)
Kung ating babalikan ang sinasabi ng Artikulo 2, ang basic wage/pay ay binubuo ng halagang ibinabayad sa manggagawa nang dahil sa trabahong ginagampanan ayon sa kontrata, plus allowances. Narito ang mga artikulo tungkol sa benepisyo para maging gabay ninyo sa kalkulasyon kung magkano ang inyong matatatanggap.
Artikulo 84: Sa pagtatapos ng kontrata (work relationship), dapat na bayaran ng kumpanya ang manggagawa ng severance award ayon sa haba ng kanyang serbisyo na kakalkulahin sa tig-kalahati ng isang buwang sahod para sa unang 5-taon at tig-isang buwan sa mga susunod pang mga taon. Ang severance award ay kakalkulahin base sa huling antas ng suweldo (basic pay), at ang manggagawa ay may karapatan ding mabayaran ng pro-rata ng severance award.
Artikulo 85: Kung natapos ang kontrata dahil sa resignation ng manggagawa, babayaran siya ng severance award na - 1/3 kung nakapagserbisyo siya ng hindi bababa ng 2-taon at hindi lalagpas ng 5-taon, 2/3 kung nakapagserbisyo siya ng mahigit 5-taon na hindi lalagpas ng 10-taon, at 1-buwan (full award) kung nakapagserbisyo siya ng mahigit 10-taon.
Artikulo 86: Salungat sa Artikulo 8, maaaring pagkasunduang huwag isasama sa kalkulasyon ang mga komisyon at porsiyento sa bentahan na ibinibigay sa manggagawa na ang sitwasyon nito ay tumataas at bumababa ang halaga. (Artikulo 8: Itinuturing balewala ang anumang kondisyong hindi umaayon sa batas ng paggawa ganun din sa mga karapatan ng manggagawa sa panahon ng kontrata, maliban kung ito ay pabor sa manggagawa.)Artikulo 87: Salungat sa Artikulo 85, ang manggagawa ay babayaran ng buong severance award kung siya ay umalis sa trabaho dahil sa “force majeure” Ang babaing manggagawa ay babayaran din ng buong severance award kung iti-terminate niya ang kontrata sa loob ng 6 na buwang siya’y ikinasal, o 3-buwan mula nang siya’y makapanganak.
Artikulo 88: Kapag natapos na ang kontrata ng manggagawa, babayaran siya ng kanyang benepisyo sa loob ng maximum period na isang linggo. Kung ang manggagawa ang siyang nag-terminate ng kontrata, babayaran siya ng kumpanya ng kanyang benepisyo nang hindi lalampas ng 2-linggo. Karapatan ng kumpanya na ibawas ang lahat ng utang ng manggagawa.
Walang service award ang mga naglilingkuran sa pamilya at mga magbubukid, maliban kung nakasaad ito sa kanya-kanyang kontrata dahil hindi sila sakop ng batas sa paggawa – Artikulo 7.

SAMPLE NG ESB CALCULATION – Artikulo 84:
Narito ang pinakasimpleng calculation. Halimbawa:
Starting salary: SR1000
Last salary: SR2000
Ang basehan ng calculation ay hindi yong starting kundi yong last salary na SR2000.
Allowances:
Food: SR500
Housing: SR500
Transportation: SR200
Total Monthly Wage: SR2000 + 500 + 500 + 200 = SR3200 (basehan ng calculation)
SR3200 divided 2, times 5 (years) = SR8000 (ESB for the first 5 years)
SR3200 times 2 = SR6400 (ESB for the 6th and 7th years)
Therefore: SR8000 + SR6400 = SR14,400 (Total ESB for 7 years)
Nota: Iba ang kalkulasyon sa Artikulo 85. Fraction lamang ng kabuuan ang makukuha, maliban kung mahigit naka-sampung taon na sa serbisyo na buong halaga na ang matatanggap.

NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE (NOC):
Ayon sa Artikulo 244, lahat ng circular, ministerial decision, at iba pang decree na kaugnay sa NOC ay kanselado na ng bagong batas sa paggawa. Samakatuwid, kung walang pinipirmahang kasulatang hindi ka babalik sa kakumpetensiyang kumpanya (Artikulo 83), puwedeng bumalik ng Saudi na hindi na kailangan ng NOC kung ating pagbasehan ang mga paliwanag sa mga nasabing artikulo.
Pero nasa diskresyon pa rin ng Saudi Embassy sa Manila kung hahanapin nila ito sa nagbabalik-Saudi. Puwedeng hingin sa kumpanya ang NOC, pero hindi ito obligadong ibinibigay sa manggagawa.Maba-blacklist ang isang manggawa at haharangin siya sa immigration sa kanyang pagbabalik kapag pumirma siya ng undertaking. Kaya huwag basta pipirma ng kasulatan lalu’t nakasulat ito sa salitang Arabiko. Kahit pilitin ka pa, huwag pipirma dahil karapatan mong tumanggi kung wala itong English translation.
Pinapipirma ng “undertaking” ang mga manggagawang sensitibo ang nature ng kanilang trabaho. Ibig sabihin - kung ikaw ay labor lang o pangkaraniwang clerk, ipaglaban mong huwag pumirma sa ganyang undertaking dahil hindi ka saklaw ng Artikulo 83.
ARTICLE 83: If the work assigned to the workman allows him to get acquainted with the employer’s customers, or to have access to his business secrets, the employer reserves the right to require the workman in the contract not to compete with him or reveal his secrets upon expiration of the contract. For this condition to be valid, it must be in writing and specific in terms of time, venue and type of work and to the extent required to protect the legitimate interests of the employer. In all cases the duration of such agreement shall not exceed two years as of the date of termination of the relationship between the two parties.
Paliwanag sa Tagalog:
ARTIKULO 83: Kung ang gampanin ng manggagawa ay may kinalaman o koneksyon na makilala ang mga kliyente ng kumpanya, o kaya may nalalaman siya sa mga pasikut-sikot at lihim ng negosyo, samakatuwid may karapatan ang kumpanya na pagsabihan ang manggagawa kapag natapos ang kontrata nito sa kanya na huwag siyang kakumpetensiyahin nang hindi mabulgar ang mga lihim ng negosyo. Upang maging makabuluhan ang ganitong kundisyon, kailangang may kasulatan tungkol sa saklaw na panahon, lugar o klase ng trabaho para maingatan ang legitimate interests ng kumpanya. Ang duration ng kasunduan ay hindi lalampas ng dalawang taon mula nang matapos ang kontrata ng manggagawa sa pinaglilingkurang kumpanya.

PAANO MAIIWASAN ANG MGA PROBLEMA SA TRABAHO?
Malimit na ugat ng problema ang kamangmangan sa batas, tumatakas, nagsasariling-kalooban. Mag-ingat sa pagpirma ng mga dokumentong hindi naiintindihan, lalu kung nasusulat sa wikang Arabiko.
Huwag magtitiwala sa sinasabi ng kumpanya kung walang kontrata. Napaka-importante sa mga lumilipat ng sponsor na magkaroon ng kontrata para matiyak na mayroong benepisyong matatanggap at mabibigyan ka ng libreng ticket sa iyong bakasyon o repatriation.

SAAN MAGREREKLAMO:
Kung may paglabag na ginagawa ang kumpanya, maaaring ireklamo ito sa korte ng Labor, o dumirekta sa Expatriates Grievances Department (EGD) ng Ministry of Labor, Riyadh, at i-fax sa 01-210-4565 ang reklamo ninyong nakasulat sa wikang Arabiko. Kung ikaw ay kasambahay (katulong, driver, hardinero, katiwala, mayordoma, caregiver) at walang paraan na makausap mo ang alkalde ng inyong siyudad, maaari mong ipasa sa EGD ang iyong karaingan.Isulat ang reklamo at kung ano’ng artikulo (kung alam mo) ang nilabag ng iyong kumpanya. Ilagay sa sulat ang pangalan ng iyong amo, ang kanyang kumpanya, postal address, telepono, fax at mobile. Huwag kalilimutang isulat ang iyong buong pangalan, iqama number, telepono o mobile kung saan ka puwedeng kontakin. Gawing maikli ang iyong sulat.
Hindi lahat ng kaso ay puwedeng idulog agad sa Labor. Hangga’t maaari ay kumonsulta muna sa POLO upang sila ang makikipag-negotiate sa iyong kumpanya baka mareresolba pa sa magandang usapan ang iyong problema. Hindi tumatanggap ang Labor ng mga reklamo tungkol sa karapatan ng manggagawa kung lumampas na ng 12-buwan mula nang ma-terminate ang kontrata nito – Artikulo 222.
BAKIT KAILANGANG IPAREHISTRO ANG FINGERPRINTS?
Dapat tayong magpa-fingerprint para makumpleto ang ating tala sa Jawazat, dahil ili-link ang fingerprints record sa iqama. Hindi tayo makakalabas ng kaharian, o mabibigyan ng exit o kaya exit/re-entry visa, kung hindi naipa-rehistro ang ating fingerprints.
Samakatuwid, obligado ang lahat ng manggagawa, pati ang kanilang dependents na kasama sa kaharian, na magpakuha ng fingerprints sa pinakamalapit na Jawazat office at temporary offices na itinalaga ng gobyerno. Ang requirement ng fingerprinting ay ang original na iqama. Huwag magpapa-fingerprint kung wala o nawala ang iqama dahil ikukulong ka agad nang walang tanung-tanong.
Ang bagong alituntuning ito ay babala sa mga expats na may criminal records na pinaghahanap ng batas, mga “TNT” at illegal na nagta-trabaho. Madali na ring mahuhuli ang bumabalik dito na nagpalit ng pangalan, o kaya bumalik sa bagong kumpanya na may exit/re-entry sa dating kumpanya.
Mapuputol na rin ang sistema ng backdoor, gaya ng pinapalitan ang pangalan para maging Muslim na nanggaling sa Haj o ina-assume ang katauhan ng ibang tao. Kapag may violations ang isang expat, iche-check sa computer ang kanyag iqama number para malaman ang history ng kanyang pamamalagi sa kaharian. Kung tumakas ang manggagawa, mati-trace agad lalo kung nagsumbong na ang amo sa opisina ng Jawazat.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE:

OLIVE OIL:Has been shown to lower blood presure.
The beneficial health effects of olive oil are due to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and its high content of antioxidative substances. Studies have shown that olive oil offers protection against heart disease by controlling LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels while raising HDL (the "good" cholesterol) levels. (1-3) No other naturally produced oil has as large an amount of monounsaturated as olive oil -mainly oleic acid.by A.L from never been sick tips.

BREAST CANCER:

cabbage,broccoli,cauliflower

help maintain estrogen at healthy levels

"Breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women, can be protected against by eating cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and near relatives of cabbage such as broccoli and cauliflower. These vegetables contain compounds called isothiocyanates which we believe to be responsible for the cancer-preventive and anti-carcinogenic activities in these vegetables.

Food in the cruciferous, or cabbage, family of vegetables all contain phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, and fiber that make them healthy food choices. In addition, researchers have long noted an association between a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, bok choy and cabbage are decreased the risk in breast cancer.from the tips of never be sick again

BREAST CANCER:

WHEAT BRAN-help maintain estrogen at

healthy levels

Wheat bran is the outer shell, which has the responsibility of protecting the seed. When wheat is processed to become flour, the bran is discarded, even though it is a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Nutrition facts

One-half cup of wheat bran only has 60 calories and provides 9 percent of the recommended daily value of protein. It's a good source of vitamins, providing 18 to 19 percent of the daily value (DV) of vitamin B6 and niacin, 10 percent DV of riboflavin and thiamine, and 6 percent of folate and pantothenic acid. Wheat bran also supplies smaller amounts of vitamins E and K (1 to 2 percent DV).Wheat bran is a rich source of minerals, including manganese (161 percent DV), magnesium (43 percent DV), selenium (31 percent DV), phosphorus (28 percent DV), iron (16 percent DV), zinc and copper (14 percent DV). You'll also receive 9 percent of the daily value of potassium and 2 percent of calcium.

How to Use Wheat Bran?

Step 1

Knead a couple of tablespoons of wheat bran into your regular pizza dough. Roll the dough out as usual and add your favorite toppings before baking. When making bread, knead up to one-quarter of a cup of wheat bran, per loaf, into regular bread dough to add dietary fiber.

Step 2

Substitute wheat bran for bread crumbs or cracker crumbs when making meatloaf or meatballs. Just mix it into the meat mixture, and cook as usual. You may also add it to raw hamburger meat before grilling burgers.

Step 3

Stir a couple of tablespoons of wheat bran into your morning juice or add it to a breakfast smoothie with yogurt, fruit and juice for a nutritious breakfast drink.

Step 4

Add a couple of tablespoons of wheat bran to your oatmeal or other hot cereal before cooking. Sprinkle some fresh wheat bran over your hot cereal before eating.

Step 5

Use your blender to grind wheat bran until fine and add it to biscuits, pie crusts and other pastries. In addition, you can add finely ground or regular wheat bran to waffle batter and pancake batter.

Step 6

Sprinkle wheat bran on fruits, applesauce, breakfast yogurt and even pudding or ice cream to add texture.from the tips of never be sick again

cranberry juice High acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria and help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) was partly related to the strong acidity of the cranberries. Recent research has shown that it's not the acidity of the cranberries, but the unusual nature of their proanthocyanidins (PACs) that is related to prevention of UTIs. The special structure of these PACs (involving A-type linkages between their components) acts as a barrier to bacteria that might otherwise latch on to the urinary tract lining.from the tips of never be sick again

FACTS ABOUT LIGHTINGS SYSTEMS

2010-12-19T12:23:00.000-08:00

There is no replacement for sunlight but we can produce light artificially,citing incandescent and fluorescent lamps as example...

Incandescent Lamps

Incandescent lamp produce light by the passage of an electric current through a filament (tungsten is the commonly used filament),which heats it to glow.

They are relatively inefficient compared to other lighting types.They are the least expensive to buy but the most costly to operate.

Fluorescent Lamps

Fluorescent Lamps (linear,circular,and compact) produce light by the passage of an

electric current through vapor or gas initiating the discharge which creates visible light.

It is mainly indoors----both for ambient and task lighting

---and its about 3 to 4 times more efficient than incandescent lamps.

Fluorescent lamp last about 10 times longer than incandescent.but to be more efficient you should use

fluorescent lighting in place where they will remain turned-on for a long period of time each use.

SAVE THE WORLD BY SAVING ENERGY...

2010-12-19T11:01:00.000-08:00

Demand for energy increasing around the world, we recognize the need to use energy efficiently across our entire company, whether in our offices or in our operations that produce our oil, gas, coal, and electricity.Saving energy should be and probably is at the top of everyone's list these days, particularly with fuel prices at record highs. Here is a quick list of things that homeowners can do to save energy costs, as well as go green at the same time. When you cut down on the amount you spend on your gas and electricity bill, you also help reduce your carbon footprint and the plant breathes easier.

Check out these ten things you can do to save energy. They are simple, easy, and just make sense.

>turn-off unnecessary> lights.

>Use fluorescent lamps(linear,circular or compact)instead of incandescent lamps.

A 15watt energy saving lamp produces almost the same light output compare to a 60 watt incandescent

ESL's only use one quarter of the energy needed to operate a comparable incandescent bulb.each ESL can save more than 400 pounds of coal over its lifetime.

most electricity comes from burning coal,oil,and other fossil fuels.This creates pollution that contributes to ozone layer depletion,haze,climate change and other air quality problems.if every home would replace just one standard bulb with ESL,this action would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the air by 217 million pounds per year.

They also last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs,so think of all the money you can save with that.

All fluorescent light bulbs (including ESLs)contain small amounts of mercury,so recycle or dispose of them properly.using ESLs actually reduces mercury in the environment,because burning coal for electricity produces mercury,and ESLs save so much electricity.

>Use bare type ESL's instead of the encapsulated ones.

To get the most out of the brightness or intensity of the lamp you

need,you must refrain from using encapsulated(ESL's with plastic or glass covering)type of ESL unless you want a dimmer output.

>Use ESLs in all portable table and floor lamps.

>ESLs must be installed in a vertical position.

>Avoid installing ESLs in areas where lamps are

subjected to frequent switching.(e.g comfortroom rooms)

>Don't overlight an area.look for minimum wattage lamps for

your lighting requirements.

>Use task lighting,instead of brightly an entire room,

focus the light where you need it.

>Use dimmers to reduce light intensity.

>Consider installing timers,photocells,or occupancy sensor to

reduce the amount of time the light are switched on.

>Clean lamps regularly(at least every 8 months)when exposed to an atmosphere with dirt,dust,grease and other contaminants.Dirt lessens light output by as much 10 to 15 percent.

>Maintain luminaire (use to control and redirect light output to where it is needed) efficiency through periodic cleaning of reflecting surfaces and shields.

>Optimize the use of daylight (natural light) by using lite colored,loose weave curtains on your windows to allow daylight to penetrate the room while preserving privacy.

>Increase the reflectivity of house interior by cleaning and repainting walls using lite colors or by using lite colored carpets or tiles.

>Turn off and inspect blinking fluorescent lamp for loose connection or possible replacement of starter,ballast,or lamp holder.

>Use fluorescent lamp ballast (magnetic ballast) with low power consumption or ballast(at least 7 to 8 watts).if possible, use electronic ballast.

THERAPY USING LEMON 100% safe

2010-12-18T12:19:00.000-08:00

>Lemon Juice is rich in vitamin C, microelements and hormones.

>It wonderfully cleans insoluble salts and slime out of our body.

>Drinking juice squeezed from one lemon helps us stay young.

>It contains estrogen-like phytochemicals substances and therefore is very beneficial for older females.

>Some chemical compounds found in lemon juice are very effective in the prevention of infectious diseases.

>We should drink lemon juice as a preventative measure against the flu epidemic and colds in late fall and early spring.

Lemon juice can be used in a preventative or healing therapy.

For Prevention :

It is used in the following dosages:

Day 1 - 1 Lemon - Day 10

Day 2 - 2 Lemons - Day 9

Day 3 - 3 Lemons - Day 8

Day 4 - 4 Lemons - Day 7

Day 5 - 5 Lemons - Day 6

From the first to the fifth day, we add one lemon every day and from the sixth day to the tenth day, we subtract one lemon a day.In total, we drink juice squeezed from 30 lemons during 10 days.

We can prepare lemon juice in the following way: Cut a lemon in half horizontally, squeeze both halves and drink the juice without adding any sugar.If you are not able to drink pure lemon juice, dilute it with water and add one teaspoonful of honey.

You should not discard the squeezed lemon - it contains valuable phytochemicals ingredients and essential oils that are beneficial for the heart,blood vessels and brain.

Cut the squeezed lemon into small pieces, put them into a jar, add honey or sugar, and put it into a refrigerator. In ten hours, you will have an excellent lemon extract that can be mixed with boiled or mineral water and used instead of tea or coffee.

Lemon Juice Healing Therapy !

Use only pure lemon juice for the purpose of this therapy - do not dilute it with water; do not add any honey or sugar. It should be prepared the same way as for preventative lemon therapy (as discussed above).You can drink it half an hour before or one hour after your meals. whichever is more convenient.

To treat serious,chronic diseases, we have to drink in total juice squeezed from 200 lemons during the therapy. THIS NUMBER might surprise you. Some people get a sensation of sour taste in their mouth just by thinking about such amount of citric acid. This is not an error - it has to be 200 lemons and not even one fewer (more is allowed).

During his practice, Author have seen hundreds of people who enjoyed good health thanks to drinking large amounts of lemon juice.

I drank up to ten cups of lemon juice (squeezed from about forty lemons) daily. When you try, you will find out that there is nothing to be afraid of.

In rare cases, large amounts of citric acid in the stomach may lead to irregularities of intestinal function.

In such cases we can temporarily switch to preventative therapy dosages until our stomach get used to lemon juice, and then try the healing therapy again.

In Healing Therapy;

The following dosages are recommended:

Day 1 & 12 - 5 lemons

Day 2 & 11 - 10 lemons

Day 3 & 10 - 15 lemons

Day 4 & 9 - 20 lemons

Day 5,6,7 & 8 - 25 lemons

This represents in total juice squeezed from 200 lemons consumed over 12 days. The daily amounts should we split into 3 - 5 dosages. Some people are terrified by the amount of juice (about one liter or quart) to be consumed on days 5, 6, 7, and 8.

However,we are not afraid to drink two quart of apple or blackcurrant juice. Lemon is just another fruit only more sour.

The therapy described above can be used for treating kidney stones.Lemon juice is one of the best remedies against them.

There is an observable increase in the kidney function during the therapy.Your urine may get darker and, when allowed to stand for some time, may produce reddish sediment of uric salts.

At the beginning of the therapy, one quart of of urine can produce significant amount of sediment.This means that uric acid is rapidly removed from our body thanks to the therapy.

Our urine becomes amber-colored at the end of therapy and it does not produce sediment even if allowed to stand for a long time. This means that our body does not contain excess amounts of uric acid anymore.
