MOJITO

The Mojito is a rum-based cocktail that has long been popular with sailors. The drink makes use of mint leaves by first using a muddler to release their flavor. These mint leaves are then mixed with lime juice, sugar, and soda water. As with many famous cocktails, its origin is shrouded in mystery, but its birthplace was definitely Cuba. One feature the various stories seem to have in common and that makes perfect sense is the Mojito’s ability to help to fight off scurvy, which would explain its popularity among sailors. Long before modern medical science had figured out all that jazz, sailors often had to deal with a scurvy problem, and citrus was one of the best preventatives.

The story of BLOODY MARY

The Bloody Mary is an extremely famous cocktail and needs little introduction. It is often the go-to hangover “cure”, and is generally consumed early in the morning for that purpose. The Bloody Mary has many variations, but they all include vodka, tomato juice, and a selection of spices for flavor. While most people attribute the creation of the drink to a restaurateur in the early 1900s, some people have come up with a much more fanciful explanation. Apparently some people attribute at least the name of the drink to Queen Mary, who was often known by her much more sanguinary nickname due to her brutal attempts to return Catholicism to England. Some suggest that the tomato juice is supposed to represent blood. However, there isn’t any real evidence to support this theory.

AWKWARD - Stories

"I’d been going out with my boyfriend for about a month, when his parents invited me round for dinner. Whilst at his house, he was using the toilet and I thought it would be funny to take his jar of money and treasured comics, put them in a random plastic box I found, hide it and watch him freak out. I am a bit of a prankster and practical joker and he is quite laid back so I thought he’d be cool about it. Unfortunatley as I ran down the stairs with the box preparing to hide it in the kitchen cupboard, his parents came out of their room, which shocked me so I tripped and all the money and comics fell out of the box by the front door, and my boyfriend came out of the bathroom as he and his parents were staring at me. It looked like I was trying to steal his things! Then to make things worse- as I was explaning that it was meant to be a joke his parents told me i’d better leave, and as I did so I still had some coins in my pocket that fell out from when I was trying to put them back in the jar. Needless to say, we broke up as his parents didn’t want him dating a theif."

"Well I ordered Directv for my house and I had to go to work so I asked my friend if she cared to come over to wait for the installer. He wasn’t due for another couple of hours but my friend was already there. I went to get ready for work and take a shower. The bathroom is right off my bedroom u have to go through bedroom to get to it.
After my shower I dried off and put my towel around my head. I always put my clothes on my bed and change in my bedroom because my bathroom is so small that u can barely move. I opened the bathroom door and walked out butt naked. I didn’t see him at first because he was kneeled down. I had my back to him putting lotion on my legs and when i turned around there he was. He must of got a good show for about five minutes of me applying lotion and bending over and never said nothing. I just yelled and ran in the bathroom and asked him to leave.
After I got dressed i came out and him and my friend were laughing, I think she set me up but she denies. I went to work and told everybody and they laughed."

"A while ago I was dating this guy named William but everyone called him Will for short. I also had a friend named William who was really into me, but I wasnt interested AT ALL. I was texting my Boyfriend, when some random number texted me, saying it was Will. I just assumed it was my boyfriend. He didn’t have a cellphone so I assumed he got one or something.
So of course, I start with the boyfriend girlfriend talk. I was like “hey, baby” and stuff like that. He responded like my boyfriend would. Then my ACTUAL boyfriend texted me from his email. I was so confused!! Then I realized. Oh I’ve been texting the William thats really into me like I’m into him. Ughh. So u was leading him on. Safe to say, I avoided him as much as I could!"

WE NEED BETTER SEX EDUCATION!

WE NEED BETTER SEX EDUCATION!

Young people constantly pick up sexual messages, many of  them ones that do not promote healthy sexuality, including commercial messages that are in the interest of advertisers, and  misinformation from their peers. Avoiding talking about sexuality  only teaches young people to feel uncomfortable about sexuality.

A  research has revealed that most young people (93%) learn about sex and sexual health from school-based sexuality education programs. Family members were also found to be a significant source of information at 61 per cent. However, students reported low levels of confidence to discuss sexuality with parents.

With the research telling us that school children are turning to schools and their families for reliable information, it is important to support schools and parents to do the best job they can.

Many young people are sexually active in some way and this has increased over the last decade. Research reports two issues of concern:

• a low level of consistent condom use
• increased rates of unwanted sex, particularly in relation to alcohol use.

There are numerous competing messages about sexuality in the world. Many are misinformed and sensationalist, yet are often presented in highly communicative styles, through pop videos, advertisements, internet blogs, mobile phones, films, reality TV and television serials.

The primary purpose of many of these messages is to sell a product, not to equip young people with what they need to know for a healthy and fulfilling adult life.

Young people can make good decisions about their sexual health if education policies, programs and services are available to help them.

 

To be meaningful for all, it is essential to ensure learning and teaching in school-based sexuality education programs recognise and respond to the diversity of student needs. Forms of diversity include sexual orientation, gender, culture, religion and disability.

As you see a good sex education is very important, especially because it’s not just helping teenagers to understand how their body works, and learn what a healthy sexual life is but it can also help to decrease the rates of unintended pregnancies among teenagers.

Every family should have a disaster survival plan!

 EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE A DISASTER SURVIVAL PLAN

Imagine that the wind outside howls as near freezing rain pours down the window. You reach up to turn on the lights in the cold room, but they don't come on. From under the covers you walk to the shower only to discover there is no water. Beyond the noise of wind and rain there are sounds of panic in the streets outside. You look through the glass to see cars speeding down the street past people loaded with all manner of baggage. Your mind races as reality sinks in, but you don't panic. Why? Because you prepared for this moment long ago, with your family survival plan.

And just now can I ask if there is anybody in this room who actually has a disaster survival plan for a situation like this?

 

As we all know disasters strike when we least expect it. If your loved ones are in different locations and communications are lost, how will any of you find each other? That’s why a good family survival plan is essential.

When I started to read about this topic on the internet it turned out that if you want to be prepared for a natural or any kind of disaster you have to do a lot of things.

For example it’s good to have the right amount of emergency food, a portable coocking gear, mountaineering tenst or if you stay at home a specific room for emergency. Planning for survival during time of natural disaster requires certain protections against the elements. There is so much things to do that in an emergency situation you will have no time for all of that. 

I think that at least everybody should create a survival kit which is extremely useful in case you will be away from home maybe for days and you won’t have electricity or a way to get supplies. This kit should contain enough food, water and other basic supplies for each family member to last at least 3 days, and medications for 7 days.

The American Red Cross responds to nearly those disasters include house fires, wildfires, floods and also hurricanes. Unfortunately, most people aren't prepared. Only the 39 percent of Americans had created a family disaster plan. 

Every disaster is another reminder that emergencies can happen anywhere (even in Hungary), anytime and everyone should take steps to be prepared for all possible risks. So go and make a natural disaster plan for your family!
