SNAKE WINE

Snake wine or Vietnamese wine available in Southeast Asia & Southern China, is considered as a medicine since it is believed that it makes man stronger. The origin of snake wine is Vietnam.

There are two varieties of snake wine:

• Steeped: A large venomous snake can be placed into a glass jar of rice wine, often with many smaller snakes, turtles, insects, or birds, and left to steep for many months. However, the snake venom is denatured by the ethanol (its proteins are unfolded and therefore inactivated) .The wine is drunk as a restorative in small shots or cups.

• Mixed: Body fluids of snake are mixed into wine and consumed immediately in the form of a shot. In the restaurants and bars of various lethal snakes are kept on show in cages for the customers to choose from. Once picked it usually takes two men to kill the angry reptile, one to hold it upright and the other to slice it open from head to tail. The blood is then poured into a vat to be mixed with rice wine. Not much goes to waste as the heart is cut out and the gall bladder is emptied and mixed with wine in shot glasses. After the drinking is done the snake is fried and served up over several hours.

MEDICINAL VALUE OF SNAKE WINE:
Snakes are widely believed to possess medicinal qualities and the wine is often advertised to cure everything from farsightedness to hair loss, as well as to increase sexual performance. However, many of these claims are likely exaggerated to attract buyers.

LAWS REGARDING TRADE OF SNAKE WINE:
It is illegal to import snake wine to many countries including the United States because the cobras and other snakes killed in the production are often endangered species.

COST & COLOR OF SNAKE WINE:
The cost varies & the color too varies from Rose pink to red

ABOUT SHANI DEV

Shani is of the 9 planets. According to Hindu mythology Shani (Saturn) is son of Sun & Chaaya . It is believed that Shani & Sun (Surya Devta) are bitter enemies although they are close relatives. Therefore Shani mantra jaap is done when Sun sets .Yamraj (the lord of death), Dharamraj & Yamuna River are brothers & sister of Shani Maharaj. The 4 Ashwin Kumars (Sons of Surya & Usha) are step brothers of Shani Maharaj.

Shani is considered as the lord of Justice. Lord Shiva has assigned Shani Maharaj the duty to do justice with each & every individual. Therefore during Shani ki Sadae Saati ( 7.5 years dasha ) & Shani ki Mahadasha ( 19 years dasha ) each individual is rewarded or punished according to his past actions by Shani Maharaj .In every individual’s life there is at least one Shani ki Sadae Saati & one Shani ki Mahadasha . During these dashas the individual must sincerely worship Shani Maharaj at any cost. Even regular worship of Shani Maharaj helps the person to remain healthy & wealthy.

One can please Shani Maharaj by following ways.

1)CHANTING MANTRA : “ Om Shum Shanishchraay Namah :for at least 108 timeswith Sandal wood beads mala but remember not to chant the mantra with Tulsi beads mala . The mantra should be chanted after Sun set. The person should take a bath & should wear black clothes. Also offer Gur ( jaggery ) & Kali Urad dalkhichadi (Black Gram) to Shani Maharaj. After the pooja distribute the Prasad among the family members.

PAY PAL

As we know, PayPal is the world's largest internet bank. Most of us who surf the net and have online earnings have a PayPal account. However, in this article I would like to share some uncommon facts about PayPal.

1) One individual can have two pay pal accounts. However the person should have one Premier NS one Personal PayPal account or one Business and one Personal account .

2) An individual with a Personal account can accept only five debit or credit payments. However, an individual with Premier PayPal account can accept unlimited credit or debit card payments.

3) In the case of the Premier account, the account holder has to pay fees for every payment he or she receives. So people who receive many credit or debit card payments should open the Premier account, otherwise they should open Personal account only.

4) The PayPal account holder can refund money to the sender within 60 days. PayPal immediately refunds the money to the sender.

ALERT PAY

As we know AlertPay is a Internet bank like PayPal. However, AlertPay is not as advanced as PayPal with respect to withdrawing of funds by the account holder.

In AlertPay, only members of few countries can directly withdraw their funds into their bank account via electronic money transfer. While other members can withdraw funds via check only and a minimum cashout should be $20.

AlertPay does not send cheque in the currency of the account holder.Therefore, an Indian AlertPay account holder will get a check in U.S. dollars and not in Indian Rupees.


PayPal transfers money electronically in most countries and also gives check payment in the currency of account holder. However, AlertPay is better than PayPal in the security aspect. In AlertPay, there are two passwords: one is login password and the other is transaction password. This gives security to the account holder.

TOTEMISM

The religion of Tribal people of India is mainly Animism.However some tribes practice Totemism.Totemism is a belief of tribal people that they have descended from some common ancestor.The ancestor may be a person a river or a tree or a bird etc.This ancestor is known as Totem .


The ancestor image is carved on wooden structures called the Totem Poles. These poles are worshiped .Tribes worshiping the same Totem do not intermarry as they consider themselves to be blood relatives & therefore they practice Clan Exogamy.

TEMEPER TANTRUMS

Temper-tantrums are uncontrolled outbursts of anger.Such behavior may include hitting, kicking, biting & throwing things about.Temper-tantrums are a normal stage in the development of emotional control.it is an attempt by the child at controlling or dominating the enviornment & his parents .He may show temper when he fails to achieve what he wants or when he wants to seek his / her parents attention.So temper-tantrums are not considered problem behavior for preschool-age children.However temper-tantrums persist beyond this age, they become problem behavior.
