A2 Lucia Garcia Worked at HospitalsThu Humans have beeneating flaxseed for over 5,000 years. It is not a grain but a seed, native to the East Indies. The U.S. Food andDrug Administration (FDA) and the World Food and Agriculture Organizationclassify flaxseed as anoilseed, not a whole grain. Flaxseeds areextremely rich in omega-3 fatty acids: One tablespoon of flaxseeds contains3,800 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, which is 10 times more than deep-sea fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acidscan lower blood lipids, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and are verybeneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. It is worthmentioning that flax seeds contain a nutrient called lignans, which is hundredsof times more than other plants. Lignan is a phytoestrogen that can effectively removeharmful free radicals in the body, protect cells and delay the aging process ofcells. Flax seeds are also an excellent source of dietary fiber,with one tablespoon (7 grams) of ground flax seeds containing 2 grams ofdietary fiber. The way to consumeflax seeds is very simple. You can add a few tablespoons of ground flaxseed to foodsyou're used to eating, such as soups, oatmeal, smoothies, or yogurt.

A4 Steven Haddock 3rd generation (orso) Canadian & lifelong resident; political science majorJun 6 No. Flying is expensive, the train network has pretty muchdisappeared, key roads in many parts of the country are two lane highways, andthere isn’t any national bus service left after Greyhound closed down itsroutes a few years ago. So, even if youhave your own car, you find yourself dependent on a lot of narrow highways, orbetter highways with a lot of traffic. This is OntarioHighway 8 Is this some quietlittle road in the middle of no-where? It is not. It’s the main highway betweenthe Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge metroplex and the City of Hamilton. It is alimited access highway through Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge, but on either sideit’s a two lane road. This is the NipigonRiver Bridge on Highway 17 in northwestern Ontario. Not bad right? The problemis that this is the sole road link between highways to its east and highways toits west. It’s the only road link between Thunder Bay, Ontario and Winnipeg,Manitoba. Shortly after it opened, this happened. The bridge was shutdown for 18 hours until temporary repairs could be performed, leading toshipments being backed up for kilometers in both directions. The township itruns through has a population of about 1,600 so it really wasn’t prepared forthat onslaught of people needing food, toilets and accommodation. As for passengerrail, it’s pretty good in the triangle defined by Windsor, Ottawa, and QuebecCity, but there’s still a problem. Unless you’re going to Toronto or Montreal,both of which have centrally located train stations, you’re dropped out in themiddle of nowhere with little transit to be found and even fewer car rentalplaces This is the trainstation on the outskirts of Kingston, Ontario, a city of about 50,000 with twomajor universities. There are a couple of bus lines that go out there, but it’sa long way from anything you might want to visit. And Kingston is one of thebest served cities in Ontario by rail because it’s where rail traffic fromMontreal, Ottawa and Toronto converge. Where there aregood roads… traffic Highway 401 is oneof the best highways in the world. It’s also the busiest one in North Americaand it’s presence concentrates traffic on it. The only way around it is the 407toll route, which is very expensive, or city roads, which are just ascongested. Sheppard Avenue andLeslie Street, which is about 1km from the 401 highway. It’s packed even thoughthere’s a subway line running right underneath to reduce bus traffic. Q5 What are some common plumbing issueswith the kitchen sink? A5 Gopala Krishnan,Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now I am from Chennai,India, in suburban area. We have to connect sink via tube to exhaust pipe to asock pit. We cannot connect to any sewage pipe line. I am vegetarian. We havekitchen waste collecting system. So vegetable cut pieces, covers of milk packetsand similar items are put in waste box and collected early morning by Municipality.Remaining rice andother food items are mixed and given to cows, coming through the street. However some foodwaste and cleaning material will go to sock pit which has exhaust and fullcovering with RCC top and cement plaster. Worms in the soil eat the solid items and liquid absorbedto brick pieces in the sockpit. But even with best cleaning somesmell appears. To avoid this a metallic plate with holes through which the outlet tube is connected to outlet pipe. Still smell can remain, which we avoid pouring dilutedcleaning detergents like phynoil, dettol etc. This is the plumingissue we feel in kitchen sink. My note- The gas produced in the sock pit is causing badsmell. Q6 How do I bring positive energy athome? A6 Anubhav Jain, Written 3 books onLife, living and motivation. Sat Never take out yourfrustration on family. Create a loving and caring atmosphere at home. No unnecessary shouting, use of cuss words, don't fill thehouse with negative energy. Keeping dirtythings out of home. Especially, slippers and shoes. Neat and tidy home. Even with basic amenities, atidy and neat home is a superior place to be in. Arrange things well. Your thoughts echo,send signals, and create a vibration in the immediate environment, keep yourthought process less polluted. Bathroom door mustbe shut, some people have a habit of leaving bathroom doors opened. Make sure the bathroom isclean and doesn't stink. Posters, paintings,or stickers, avoid any negative message or picture, they must be motivating,soothing and calming. Don't hoard stuff, empty space ismuch better than objects or clothes lying unused for year's carrying dust. Chant some positive mantras at your home eachday. My note- The listed points are very correct. But howto achieve all? A god fearing person will keep bhakthi songs good talks in TV.But lags to keep things neat and tidy. Hardworking persons postpone things totomorrow. Q7 What are the best tree species togrow commercially? A7 Chee-Eng, Lim Proprietor at SyarikatCeramech (1989–present)Updated May 12 It depends on whereyou are.In the tropics,maybe palm oil. There is no need totap it like for rubber everyday. Yield is high,demand is high, trees bears fruits for many decades, fertilizer use is low.lots of water and carbon dioxideconverted into food oil and oxygen. And so on. For fruit trees,maybe quality durians. Once trees bear fruits, basically, you take care of itduring fruiting season. Fruit has very high value. Other fruit trees would be jackfruit. It is potentiallythe new super-food for the future.It is vegan meat,when processed properly, it already is used as a vegetable in many vegetariancommunities.

The other way also will not harm. A 250 V equipmentconnecting to 220 V. The equipment may function slowly.
