Superhuman, ZOX Pro Training System

Sometimes, I wonder what if I have intense talents, that with my own thinking I can't make impossible things possible. I know we have our own limits but often than not, I wish that I could imagine myself winning competitions as one of the top spellers in the country, one of the most talented kids, one of the least stressed people, or one of the most organized, effective and efficient humans in the world.

Hoping that I may be able to find what I'm looking for, I somehow learned about the ZOX Pro Training System. It's about learning what we can really do best when we fully activate the super-conscious part of our brain. This means "Superhuman" status is achievable! I really wonder how it works. Has someone purchased this product already? What can you say about it?

How To Make Mixed Adobo (Chicken and Pork)

When it comes to dishes and appetite, both my mom and my dad cooks the best meals around, especially when it comes to adobo, menudo, barbecue, afritada, sinigang, pinatisan, inasal, kawali and a lot more. Today, we will be cooking one of the Filipinos' sought after dish, the adobo.

Of course, mom will not permit to expose her top secret recipes online so I managed to take a look at some basic recipes for mixed adobo (chicken and pork). Do follow these easy steps to impress your lover and make him/ her look for you more! As the saying goes, the only way to a person's heart is through his/ her stomach.

The following ingredients, which makes six servings, can be bought in any market!

Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken
1 lb. pork
2 tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 c. boiling water
3 bay leaves
6 tbsp. vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
6 peppercorns
1/4 cup soy sauce

Procedure:
1. Cut the chicken and the pork into sizes that you desire. Don't cut too big and too small chunks. The average size would be about the size of a circle formed when you touch the tip of your index finger using your thumb.
2. In a skillet, combine chicken, pork, garlic, bay leaves, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and peppercorns.
3. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. You may marinade it if you want.
4. Boil the mixture. Use average flame intensity. 
5. Cover and allow to simmer until water is evaporated, about 1 hour. The fragrant smell will signal that you're on the right track.
6. Then, take the mixture out of the skillet and transfer it to a basin for garnishing. Voila! Your adobo is now ready to be served for dinner.

How to Make Ice Cream

Have you ever tried making ice cream? Way back high school, our class managed to savor our home-made ice cream. Yum! All you need to have with you are the following:
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder
  • 2 quarts of ice
  • rock salt
Here are five easy steps on how to make ice cream:
  1. Mix sugar, milk or half & half, and flavoring in a bowl, then seal it in a quart-sized plastic bag.
  2. Take roughly two quarts of ice (crushed ice is recommended), and place it into the gallon-sized bag with rock salt. Ideally, the gallon bag will be roughly half full with the ice and salt mixture. 
  3. Place the sealed quart-sized bag with the ingredients into the gallon-sized bag. Make sure the bags stay sealed. Do not allow the contents to mix at any time. If the bags don't seal sufficiently, use duct tape to seal the top of both bags to ensure they don't open during shaking.
  4. Agitate the mixture gently. Massage and shake the bag for about 10 to 15 minutes. 
  5. Transfer into a plastic container and allow it to freeze inside your freezer.
  6. Enjoy! This is the best stepp in making ice cream - eating! :)

Green Technology

Technology is a term used to describe the study, development and application of techniques and man-made devices in order to meet the needs of production and manufacturing industries. Green technology is a broad field which covers a whole new set of ideas (methods, materials, scientific experiments, techniques) tackling the renewal of diminishing resources to processing of safe environmental products. This field offers a handful of challenges to man, bringing innovation and ingenuity to a closer look. At present, it continues to recycle and modify archaic papers in order to serve people’s necessities. Just like information technology, green tech interest is always top priority by industrialized nations. With its continuous scramble, it dares to redevelop to its limits.

Green technology focuses on the following key points:

Sustainability – creating ways of satisfying daily needs which will be useful not only at present, but also in the future without engaging into depletion of natural resources. This simply means presenting valuable ideas that would tackle not only the needs of today, but also for the next generations which are to come without affecting their ability to provide for their basic needs.

Less Pollution – reducing the presence of human wastes and different forms of pollution such as air, water, radioactive, soil, etc.

Production of Back-to-back Products – creating products which is capable of becoming another product through recycling and reuse.

Innovation – finding substitutes, assisting technology, providing solutions to dying populations of species and lessening amount of energy resources, and cleaner processes.

Practicality and Feasibility – developing highly useful and practical ways to deal with the changing needs of society.

Examples of green technology can be seen directly in energy platforms, automobile industry, green housing, agriculture, consumer bags, chemistry, nanotechnology, commerce, business, etc.

Green Earth

Have you ever wondered how lavishly green the Earth is? Every day we come across different tints of the living world. We manage to occur with the other inhabitants of this world. We see the intrinsic beauty of the world which we are in right now. Let us take a look at the best nature can offer.

Healthy Biodiversity, Silent Sanctuary
In every step we literally make, we pass a lot of scenarios of life. After one walk, we might just have stepped on an ant carrying rice grains to give to his Queen. Looking at the skies, we see a plane flying away from you not realizing the presence of a pair of colorful parakeets making its way to its suitable nest location to mate. We sometimes forget that a lot of the breath-taking scenes are just near us, waiting to be recognized. Somehow, through the busy and stressful life we have been involved we forget that we can actually manage our lives just by viewing differently and thinking outside the box.

Almost Everything Green
We see trees and plants everywhere, and in some places, these creatures lose its significance as providers of clean air. Blame it on the abrupt adaptation of society to infrastructure developments. If we look back on time, these things have dominated the skyline. Now, everything’s changed. Since the introduction of urban life, man’s instinctive adjustment to nature has been reversed. At present, nature makes its way for man. Sometimes it retaliates.

Winds, Tides and Seasons
The existence of winds and tides has led to the innovation of man through the years. From kites to planes, crafts and ships, the Earth’s wind system has brought in different seasons which have somehow attracted and yielded different cultures and traditions. Without the winds, there won’t be any festivals at all. No Christmas. No Halloween. No holidays. Without tides, caused by the gravitational pull of the moon, there won’t be beaches for relaxation.

As we all see, the Earth is really awesome. Even with its unstoppable violence, it still restructures itself to a place man would want to live. Somehow, we just have to realize that being in this world is the best gift we have ever received. With the millions of sperm that have competed to catch the egg’s attention, we are all lucky to have been part of this wonderful haven. We must not forget, we all have duties to care for it. Giving back isn’t that hard right? Cut global CO2 emissions. Plant more trees. Be environment-friendly. By doing this, the future generations would benefit and see nature’s everlasting splendor.

Green Home Exteriors

For the past years up to now, the world has experienced a lot of technological thrust when dealing with environment-friendly strategies and energy-efficient ways to enhance a home's exterior. Well, it's hard to arrive at the best aspects of improvement (which includes a harmony of energy efficiency, sustainability, physical durability and light preservation). However, emerging markets possess some products which can provide the total package of quantity and quality.

If you want to modernize the beauty of your home's exterior design, or just want to make some changes that will blend on the environment, here are some of the products which would guide you in choosing for your home's latest outfit. Green sidings are those which contain environment-friendly adhesives and resins.

Wood sidings possess disadvantages like higher upkeep and recurrent painting. It is derived from lumber and requires replenishment in time. HardiePlank, which is a brand for fiber cement siding, is a composite of layers of cement and fibers of wood. This type of siding has extreme resilience and looks like natural wood. Painting them won’t be a problem, for these have already been pre-painted before purchase. Another type of siding is stucco which is an archaic cement-based siding. It has very low preservation and green-oriented varieties (e.g. earth-and-lime plasters).

Preferring siding materials which are nature-inclined can aid you in building a sturdy and happy house while lowering energy costs. Make sure that when choosing the best for your home you consider other influencing factors like labor costs of harnessing materials, manufacturing, installation and delivery.
