Torrent sites

Here are 2 interesting torrent websites which I found very useful:

www.maroctorrent.net (french)
www.fulldls.com (english)

You can download Animes, Movies, eBooks, Pictures, Music, TV Shows, etc.

To be able to download, you should have a torrent downloader such as uTorrent, BitTorrent, FileDownload Manager (FDM), etc. There are lots freely available to download from the internet.

Anger and Love have no limits

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.

In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father....
With painful eyes he asked 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

The man was very hurt and speechless. He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions...... sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches, the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day, that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful & lovely life....

Things are to be used and people are to be loved.

But the problem in today's world is that: People are used and things are loved.

Care and Cleaning of AMC Cookware

Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to clean and keep clean. Washing by hand in hot, soapy water is usually the only requirement for keeping your AMC units bright and shiny. Prompt drying with a soft cloth prevents water-forming spots. For the best results in cleaning, fill the unit with water once the food has been served. Allow to stand for a while, then wash as above.

INITIAL CLEANING
Before using your cookware for the first time, wash every unit thoroughly with hot water and soap, then rinse in clean water and dry with a soft cloth. This is necessary as all AMC units are covered by a thin layer of protective wax coating. If it is not removed the units will become stained.

CLEANING MATERIALS
The inside of the unit may be cleaned with our special stainless steel cleaner – Classic Cleaner and a soft sponge. Never use steelwool, steel brushes or harsh scouring powders for cleaning purposes. Never use bleach, ammonia or other acidic cleaning products. To clean the outside of the unit, use hot soapy water or Classic Cleaner and a soft sponge. Do not use scouring powder, ammonia, bleach or acidic cleaning products.

BURNT-ON FOODS
To remove burnt-on foods, soak and wash the unit in hot, soapy water. Light scouring with a non-abrasive household cleaning powder and a nylon scouring pad or Classic Cleaner will remove stubborn burns. Alternatively, pour a cup of water with 10 ml vinegar into the unit and simmer over medium heat for 5 – 10 minutes. Loosen bits of food with a wooden spoon. Wash the unit immediately as above.

PROTECTION OF HANDLES
To avoid damage to the handles and lid knobs they should not be heated to a temperature above 260°C. Excessive heat will cause the handles and lid knobs to become brittle. Do not use the units for grilling in the oven. If cooking over a flame ensure that the flame does not go up the sides of the unit.

STAINS ON COOKWARE
Stains due to overheating can occur. When this happens, the unit can be repolished at our factory in Atlantis at a nominal charge. The unit can be handed in at a Sales Centre near you. Rainbow-coloured stains caused by starches such as rice, pasta and potatoes can be removed with white wine vinegar or lemon juice after you have washed the unit. For light straw-coloured stains use Classic Cleaner and a soft sponge.

Drastic overheating can cause damage to your units.

CORROSIVE FOODS
Stainless steel resists almost all forms of domestic chemicals and foods, except:
Halogens: Do not leave foods rich is halogen salts e.g. chlorine, iodine and fluorine in the units for any length of time after cooking. Ordinary salt and salty or spicy foods such as fish and curries should be removed as soon as possible. Fill unit with water once the food has been served, leave to soak and wash. Sulphur: Sulphur is found in dried fruits. If such fruit is cooked in a stainless steel unit, sulphur will be deposited on the inside of lid. It is therefore preferable to cook such foods without using the lid of the unit. If it is essential to use the lid, wash both the unit and the lid immediately after cooking. Never store foods containing these components in the units overnight.

OVERHEATING
Please do not leave your unit unattended on a medium or high heat. The special alloy base of each unit conducts heat rapidly and if unattended at a high heat there is a danger that the unit will reach a temperature of 500°C at which point the stainless steel will discolour and the base may begin to melt.

Our system of food preparation is aimed at cooking at below the boiling point of water and excessive heat must never be used.

FAST COOLING
Fast cooling of a unit with the lid on, by placing it on a cold surface can cause a partial vacuum to develop inside the unit. This should be avoided as the vacuum can make it difficult to remove the lid and can damage the lid and/or the unit. To remove the lid, heat the unit on the stove over a medium heat. The lid will then be easy to lift.

KITCHEN UTENSILS
Avoid using sharp metal utensils on the inside of your units. These will gouge and scratch the stainless steel surface. We advise the use of wooden spoons or nylon-covered utensils.

Best Anti-Aging Foods

1. Produce

Piling your plate with fruits and vegetables is a no-brainer when it comes to weight loss — they're low in calories, high in nutrients, and filling — but the latest studies show that certain ones can provide surprising anti-aging benefits.

There's buzz about blueberries, for instance, for their memory-boosting potential. But berries of all hues are antioxidant-rich, reports Navindra P. Seeram, Ph.D., assistant professor at the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy in Kingston. That means they combat free radicals, molecules that can cause widespread cell damage and are linked to chronic inflammation. Unlike the inflammation that occurs when you sprain an ankle or strain a muscle, the type that contributes to aging is persistent, and thought to be at the root of most chronic diseases, from cancer, heart disease, and diabetes to Alzheimer's, arthritis, and osteoporosis. Berries' beauty bonus: They're chock-full of vitamin C, another potent antioxidant that may help keep your complexion looking smooth by fighting those pesky (skin-damaging) free radicals.

To keep your vision sharp, set your sights on spinach and other dark leafy greens. These veggies are prime sources of lutein and zeaxanthin, plant pigments that protect your eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. Leafy greens are also rich in vitamin K, a nutrient that plays a role in reducing bone loss and preventing fractures.

2. Protein

This key dietary component becomes even more critical starting in the 40s, when muscle mass begins to decline by up to 1 percent a year. That drop slows metabolism, which makes the pounds pile on more easily. The double whammy consequence: Added weight puts your health at risk, and down the road, diminished muscle mass can throw off your balance (upping chances of a fall), sap your strength, and even threaten your ability to recover from an illness or accident.

To hang on to your metabolism-boosting muscle — and keep you feeling full after meals (another protein plus) — experts recommend eating plenty of skinless chicken and turkey breast, lean beef and pork, eggs, beans, and seafood. And don't forget protein-rich dairy: Minerals (primarily calcium, phosphorus, and potassium) in fat-free milk and yogurt as well as low-fat cheeses help to keep blood pressure healthy, pudge in check, and bones strong. News flash: Calcium can't build bone if you're not getting enough protein, and current recommendations — about five ounces a day for a 145-pound woman — are too low, says Robert P. Heaney, M.D., professor of medicine at Creighton University in Omaha.

Another reason to spoon up some yogurt: Eating at least 1/4 cup every day led to a 60 percent lower risk of gum disease and a 50 percent lower risk of tooth loss in a Japanese study published in the Journal of Periodontology. The effect is thought to be linked to the probiotics in yogurt, but not in most other dairy.

3. Omega-3-Rich Fish

Fatty acids in seafood help quench the flames of chronic inflammation. In addition, "there's very good new data suggesting that omega-3 fats from fish act on an area of the brain that leads to improved mood and attitude among healthy people," says Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D., author of The Omega Diet. These improvements in outlook lead to feeling healthier and more vigorous, she explains. The omega-3s in fatty fish like salmon and tuna have the most potent anti-inflammatory effects. But it's smart to consume omega-3s from plant sources, like walnuts and flaxseed, too — especially if you're not fond of fish.

4. Whole Grains

A 2008 review of these diet-friendly foods — which include whole wheat, oats, and brown rice, and the bread, cereal, and other edibles made from them — concluded that a meal plan loaded with whole grains helps you stay slim, thanks, in part, to fiber's role in appetite control. Their low rankings on the glycemic index (a system that rates the effect of different carbohydrates on blood sugar levels) may also play a role.

A raft of research has also shown that whole grains offer protection against diabetes, heart disease, stroke, colon cancer, high blood pressure, and gum disease. These benefits are tied to the array of vitamins, minerals, plant chemicals, and again, fiber that work together to promote health. (That's why refined grains, which filter out these nutrients during manufacturing, and add some back later in the process, don't offer the same advantages.)

5. Exercise

It's an anti-aging bonanza: Being active maintains muscle mass, boosts metabolism, and keeps your heart and lungs primed, among other benefits. Now, a recent study has found that running, in particular, promotes a long, independent life. Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine followed a group of runners and non-runners for 21 years and found that elderly runners put off age-related disabilities for 16 years beyond their non-running counterparts. Runners also lived longer: 19 years into the study, only 15 percent of them had died compared with 34 percent of the non-runners. And the active ones were less likely to die from heart disease, stroke, cancer, and neurological conditions. While this study examined running, 30 minutes of more moderate aerobic activity, five days a week, will keep you healthy, according to recently released guidelines from the American Heart Association and American College of Sports Medicine. What should also be on your fitness agenda: strength training twice a week to maintain muscle and keep your metabolism humming.

6. Red Wine and Other Drinks

What other diet recommends red wine? Ours does because the ruby beverage's resveratrol is a potent antioxidant, inflammation damper, and artery protector. Plus, animal research suggests that high amounts of resveratrol may counteract cell death in the heart and brain, which could mean this compound has even greater potential to prolong your life. Limit yourself to one five-ounce glass a day; more could be harmful.

If you're not a wine drinker, no worries: Put on the coffeemaker or the kettle instead. Coffee appears to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease, and evidence suggests that java drinkers have a lower chance of dying from heart disease. Some of the benefit may come from caffeine, but coffee also contains chlorogenic acids, antioxidants that might also play a protective role. Drinking tea may lower your risk of heart attacks, strengthen your immune system, protect tooth enamel, and help fight memory loss associated with aging. Choose green, black, white, or oolong — their leaves all come from the camellia sinensis, or tea plant. And their polyphenols (antioxidants), fluoride, and caffeine — which are thought to contribute to these health benefits — are largely missing from herbal brews.

Two Secret Age-Defying Treats

They seem like diet no-no's because of their calorie load, but dark chocolate and a handful (not a canful) of nuts have longevity and weight-loss benefits.

This just in: Nuts give you a surprising diet edge. A recent study found that despite being a high-fat, high-cal food, they don't promote weight gain. The reason: People find nuts filling and after eating them, offset some of the calories by eating less later on. Best of all, up to 20 percent of the calories in nuts don't get absorbed.

Craving something sweet? Dip into dark chocolate. The latest evidence suggests that cocoa flavanols (more predominant in dark chocolate than milky versions) may lower inflammation, keep blood pressure in check, prevent platelets from clotting (which could, in turn, prevent strokes and heart attacks), and boost brain power.
