What you need to know about bar codes

•April 9, 2010 • Leave a Comment

This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it’s a concern to you.

example of a bar code

Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ?

If the first 3 digits of the bar code are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA .

471 is Made in Taiwan .

This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public,

therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves.

Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products “MADE IN CHINA “,

so they don’t show from which country it is made.

However, you may now refer to the bar code, remember if the first 3 digits are:

690-692 … then it is MADE IN CHINA .
00 – 09 … USA & CANADA
30 – 37 … FRANCE
40 – 44 … GERMANY
47 … Taiwan
49 … JAPAN
50 … UK

BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching

for “0″ at the beginning of the number.

We need every boost we can get! God I love our country.

A friend shared this information with me and I love it, So I link it. Thanks to the original writer.

The law of the Garbage Truck

•April 8, 2010 • 1 Comment

Here is a writing my sister sent me though email and I loved it. So i am sharing it. The morel of the story is so true.

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.
So I asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined
Your car and sent us to the hospital!’
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of garbage, full of frustration,
full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place
to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you.
Don’t take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people
at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let
garbage trucks take over their day.
Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
So … Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who don’t.
Life is ten percent what you make it and
ninety percent how you take it!
Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

Let us see a Green Post Office

•July 12, 2008 • 3 Comments

Here is a great idea. I wish I would of been the one that thought of it. But I will share it with you and then you can share it with who you know and so on. Let us make this idea snowball. It will make for a healthier Canada. I feel a great passion to have this message read.
Canada is a country in which I was born and raised and I have children and grand children living in. and they will continue after I pass. This is life; our country Canada, is a precious place and I want, like every one else, a cleanlier Earth.
The idea, is that Canada Post could remove off the roads, their vehicles. They have areas of delivery that could be done on foot. Actually, a lot of areas that could be done by foot. About ten or 15 years ago, they put hundreds of right hand vehicles on the road and carriers that where foot soldiers became drivers.
For an example, in one depot alone in Alberta had 50 vehicles brought in to do the jobs that letter carriers use to do. Now I don’t know the exact stats., but I beleive if these areas alone where change to foot carriers, think of the gas alone that would be saved. Think of the loss of harmful gases in our air.
One other thing is removing their customer mailboxes. You know those community boxes that where brought in to care for new communities. Most people drive up to these boxes leave their car or truck running, get out and retrieve their mail. Then they get back in their vehicle and drive off.
See where I am going with this. If these where removed and put delivery on foot, how much more cleaner our air would be and the saving on gas.
Canada needs to embrace this idea and since our Post Office if still government owned and our government wants to save our planet. They know they need to start at home. This would give every Canadian an example to follow and our Canada would stay as beautiful, as we want it to be. We as Canadian citizens are paying these gas bills for these vehicles and we breathe this air.
So Canada Post, please embrace this mandate to ‘ Go Green ‘. Let us have a Green Post and show the rest of the world how we are serious about saving our planet and let us get those vehicles off the road and employ foot carriers to deliver our letters and parcels.
Green Post, Green Post, green post, sounds good eh?
Please, Please, Please Let us go Green. Each who reads this post share this idea and let us as Canadians ask for Canada Post to go Green, if we all agree we can make this change happen.
This is almost like a cry for help. Our planet needs us and needs us Now. Do not just think about it, but let us have our voices heard. Let us get those vehicles off the road and NOW.
Here is a page Canada Post published on a website “go green with your mail’ and at the bottom you can ‘Contact us ‘. click on this link and say. “I am Canadian, and I’m here to help. I am really grateful to the management of Canada Post for their struggle to ‘go green’. Please hear our suggestion, where ever you can remove gas vehicles and use foot soldiers. Everywhere there is a CMB remove it and have delivery on foot. Click here Canada Post Go Green
Thank you, and God Bless.

Cystic fibrosis

•January 27, 2008 • Leave a Comment

What is cystic fibrosis?
I am posting about Cystic Fibrosis because my husbands sister has a child with this disease and has suffered through long stays in the hospital from time to time. As growing up he played hockey which is credited to him living to age 20.
Early this morning we got a phone call that he is in the hospital suffering with a knife stabbing to the lung. He was out with his older sister at the big mall and was called to defend a girl from some shady characters. When a knife was drawn and Nephew was stabbed.
We are really worried about him but as we live in another province and can be there in a moment, we ask God to take this worry and care for it for us. I am praying constantly today for him.

This part of the story is to try spread the word about this disease and how we can help fellow Canadians. I think if you know what this disease is about you would understand how any little help is great help.

This was written by www.cysticfibrosis.ca

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, fatal genetic disease affecting young Canadians. CF is a multi-organ disease affecting primarily the lungs and the digestive system. In the lungs, CF causes severe breathing problems. A build-up of thick mucus makes it difficult to clear bacteria and leads to cycles of infection and inflammation, which damage the delicate lung tissues. They must follow a demanding daily routine of physical therapy to keep the lungs free of congestion and infection.

In the digestive tract, CF makes it extremely difficult to digest and absorb adequate nutrients from food. Thick mucus blocks the ducts of the pancreas, preventing enzymes from reaching the intestines to digest food. Therefore, persons with CF must consume a large number of artificial enzymes (on average 20 pills a day) with every meal and snack, to help them absorb adequate nutrition from their food.

How many Canadians have cystic fibrosis?

It is estimated that one in every 3,600 children born in Canada has CF.

At the present time, approximately 3,500 children, adolescents, and adults with cystic fibrosis attend specialized CF clinics.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis?

* difficulty breathing;
* constant cough which expels thick mucus;

* excessive appetite, with weight loss;

* bowel disturbances;

* skin which tastes salty;

* repeated or prolonged bouts of pneumonia;
* failure to thrive.

CF was first described as a disease in the late 1930s. At that time, it was usually recognized only after a child had died, often as a result of malnutrition or pneumonia. Medical awareness of CF has increased tremendously over the years. Nevertheless, cystic fibrosis can still be confused with other common diseases — such as asthma, chronic bronchitis or pneumonia, and celiac disease.

What Causes Cystic Fibrosis?

People are born with cystic fibrosis; it is a genetic disorder.

Approximately one in every 25 Canadians carries a defective version of the gene responsible for CF. A carrier has only one copy of the gene responsible for CF. Carriers do not have cystic fibrosis, and can never get the disease. In most cases, they are not even aware that they are carriers, because they do not have cystic fibrosis, or any of its symptoms.

When two people who carry a defective version of the gene responsible for CF have a child, there is:

* a 25% chance that the child will be born with cystic fibrosis;

* a 50% chance that the child will not have CF, but will be a carrier;

* a 25% chance that the child will not have CF, and will not be a carrier.

With each pregnancy, the risks are exactly the same. Two carrier parents may have several children with CF or none at all.
