Happy day! Loving Readers and Visitors, We guess that you have read and heard enough of climate change issues, which warrants us to take drastic and effective steps collectively to tackle it. In today's article, we are sharing some ideas about planting pomegranate trees at the every space that is available to you. In my case, I planted two pomegranate trees; one just outside my main entrance and the other at my backyard. How wonderful, blessed with some fruits while greening the environment. Killing two birds with one stone. See my trees in the photos below.   You must be aware that high inflation is the world's phenomena today, by planting fruit trees at your surrounding areas you may curb inflation to certain extent. Apart from this, you may also plant some indoor plants that can serve as air ioniser, filter and purifier, which we have shared with you much earlier. By doing all these, you can imagine how much money we have put into your pockets indirectly through reducing your electricity and fruit consumption bills. Please note that we share these selected plants with you, knowing that most of you are having daily busy schedules, because they are very easy to maintain. To make them more appealing, may I be allowed to show you some of the fruits I have harvested from my Pomegranates trees at my main entrance. (See the photos below). However my other similar tree, at the backyard does not bear as much fruits when compare to this one. I guess that it is much younger. Can anyone tell me other reasons which I may not know of?   However, these trees do not provide much shade as compared to other big trees. But do not forget that the big trees do impose some danger to you if you do not maintain them well especially they become BIG trees. Coming back to my pomegranate tree which I planted at a small available space in front of both my neighbour's and my houses. Fortunately, you don’t need a large amount of space for a pomegranate tree. They usually tend to grow about 4 or 5 meters high and are ideal for a small backyard. This plant was introduced by my mum who practices ancient belief that this tree will bring fortunate to the owner. Initially we planted it at the pot prior to this. We shared the cost of this small retaining wall we built many years ago when the owner, of my existing neighbour's house, Mr Poh, carried out some renovation at his house. They have upgraded theirs sweet home to a two and half storey house, at BU 6. The photos above indicate to us how harmonious this tree is as it is accompanied by other plants that surround its trunk and really make this area more appealing and attractive, especially when colourful flowers blossom at certain times of the year. One secret I need to share with you of maintaining this tree is to prune it more frequently, i.e. by removing unfruitful branches. The more you do, the more fruit you will get. Unfruitful branches actually siphon some nutritions from fruitful branches that need them to bear more fruit. Thank to my other Malay neighbour who brought to our attention, its medicinal value when she approached my wife for some of its fruit. At that time, she was looking for white seeded ones, prescribed exactly like ours. We offered her some and least expected her to return us with other fruits the following day, couple of years ago. We do not know whether she has planted them or not. In this regard, we would like to make the similar offer to anyone who wishes to plant this tree. Please email me your particulars or skype me. Thank God for all these blessings and wisdom, which drive me to share with you more. Please let us know should you know of any particular medical healing value of this fruit. As far as I understand, it contains high fibres - good for skin and eyesight. One thing you can be rest assured that this fruit tree is without any fertilizer from our part and we grow it using the dried fallen leave as its natural fertilizer. Pomegranates Pomegranates have up to three times the antioxidants of red wine and green tea – and the juice has been shown to reduce artery-clogging plaque, which in turn prevents heart disease and stroke. Research shows that long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may also help slow aging and protect against cancer.

IRON - CONVENTIONAL AND CHARCOAL TYPE
Dear friends,
Today, I spotted my charcoal iron which has been
displayed at one of the dining corner for many years. This iron has served my family for more than two decades before my mother retired it and kept it for many years before she passed it to me for custody and safekeeping.     
Here, I rather let the photos do the talking.
Notice the hinged lid and the air holes to allow the charcoal to keep smoldering. These are sometimes called ironing boxes, or charcoal box irons, and may come with their own stand. However, in my case I only have the iron box and searching for its own stand (the iron ring and a piece of flat square hard wood).
It is very much heavier compared to the electric
iron. To add more colour to this article. we also extracted the history of ironing and some information on box and charcoal iron for your reading pleasure.
History of ironing
 No-one can say exactly when people started trying to press cloth smoothly, but we know that the Chinese were using hot metal for ironing before anyone else. Pans filled with hot coals were pressed over stretched cloth as illustrated in the drawing to the right. A thousand years ago this method was already well-established.
Meanwhile people in Northern Europe
were using stones, glass and wood for smoothing. These continued to be use for "ironing" in some places into the mid-19th century, long after Western blacksmiths started to forge smoothing irons in the late Middle Ages.
Box irons, charcoal irons
If you make the base of your iron into a
container you can put glowing coals inside it and keep it hot a bit longer. This is a charcoal iron, and the photograph (right) shows one being used in India, where it's not unusual to have your ironing done by a "press wallah" at a stall with a brazier nearby. Notice the hinged lid and the air holes to allow the charcoal to keep smouldering. These are sometimes called ironing boxes, or charcoal box irons, and may come with their own stand.  For centuries charcoal irons have been used in many different countries. When they have a funnel to keep smoky smells away from the cloth, they may be called chimney irons. Antique charcoal irons are attractive to many collectors, while modern charcoal irons manufactured in Asia are also used in much of Africa. Some of these are sold to Westerners as reproductions or replica "antiques".
Some irons had shallower boxes and had fitted
"slugs" or "heaters" - slabs of metal - which were heated in the fire and inserted into the base instead of charcoal. It was easier to keep the ironing surface spotlessly clean, away from the fuel, than with flatirons or charcoal irons. Brick inserts could be used for a longer-lasting, less intense heat. These are generally called box irons, although they used to be known as ironing boxes too.
Late 19th century iron designs experimented with
heat-retaining fillings. Designs of this period became more and more ingenious and complicated, with reversible bases, gas jets and other innovations. See some inventive US models here. By 1900 there were electric irons in use on both sides of the Atlantic.
Hope you find the above discussion of assistance
to you. We are look forward to seeing you again. TO READ OTHER RELATED ARTICLE, PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW:-

INFLATION - HOW TO CURB IT EFFECTIVELY
Hi! Folks,
Inflation is the phenomena in the whole world. As such, we have to take some positive steps /measures to overcome this issue collectively. For those who have regularly read our articles, you may have learn some practicable means to fight against this uninvited inflation.
1. Saving through Green
We have written numerous articles on Green Issues and offered you numerous useful and practicable tips to reduce your electricity and fruit consumption bills. Another area you may consider is growing vegetables yourselves if you have the space to do so.
2. Zero inflation
In the past, numerous profound economists jointly advocated this theory and they claimed that it is viable. However, sad to say that this economic model has not been brought to fruition after such a long period and the idea seems to have evaporated. Here, we invite this genius not to give up this excellent model and create a remarkable record for themselves.
3. If the zero inflation is practicable as they claimed, we can't understand why no one improves on this model further and achieve negative inflation.

3. If the zero inflation is practicable as they claimed, we can't understand why no one improves on this model further and achieve negative inflation.
We are certain that the negative inflation will be even more popular than the former. Let us think harder on how to make this model viable for all human beings.
4. 3R - Reduce, Reused and Recycle
We are very confident that lots of resources can be either reduced, reused and recycled. Perhaps you may refer to our articles for those useful tips especially on the green issues. By doing so, we are confident we can cut down the usage and hence lower down the inflation rate to a certain extent by way of reducing its demand assuming that the supply remain constant.
5. Cut down the wastages

5. Cut down the wastages
There are so many ways whereby we can reduce wastage by enhancing knowledge so as to use the natural resources in a more efficient and effective manner. For instance we can operate our car in a certain manner where we can achieve fuel efficiency.
6. Using Biological means
This is another viable and practicable way to substitute man made appliance, which is much lower in term of operating costs. For those who have read our preceding articles on the above issue, you may notice that several indoor plants can be served as air purifier, etc. For details, please read the link below:-
7. Consume raw instead of cooked food
Certain food is best consumed raw or medium rare and not well done. By taking raw or medium rare food, we not only obtain best nutrition from the food but can also cut down on our electricity bill.
8. Not to indulge in unhealthy commodities speculation by creating artificial demands
At times, it is not the real inflation per se, but rather man made type through heavy speculation by creating artificial demands that cause inflation. Hence, pushing the price of certain commodities to extremely high levels.
9. Establish a more realistic inflation benchmark which is more reflective of the situation.
9. Establish a more realistic inflation benchmark which is more reflective of the situation.
No doubt, low inflation is preferred because it shows things are in control. However, a misleading index may not drive the economy correctly based on this figure,especially the official ones. By doing so, the economy may be in the mess, unless you adjust this figure, especially official ones so as not to drive the economy to the wrong direction.
This sensible approach in using certain selected items as the basket of goods to compute the inflation rate seems acceptable. However, if these items comprise mostly controlled items, then the figure will not serve its intended purpose. Our argument is that since the sample selected is not representative of the population, then the sample should be changed so as to reflect its population. Hence the economic forces that are driven based on this index will not be inappropriate.
As far as investors are concerned, they can easily calculate their net return, after the adjustment of the official inflation rate with certainty. Hence you can see how the economy will be more healthy and the confidence level will also be enhanced.
And last but not least we hope that the above discussion has given you an insight as how to curb inflation, which is the world phenomena.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you,

CAR AND ITS OWNER - HOW TO PROTECT
Hi! Everyone,
In today's world working environment, car is almost a necessity for everyone rather than a luxury as in the past. It usually becomes one’s first asset for most working adults in view of their nature of work and the surrounding factors especially the availability of public transport and its reliability.
In my country, you have to fork out RM 40,000 for a locally produced car with 0.6 - 1.3 litres. For a university graduate with a starting pay of slightly less than RM 2,000, it is very taxing to own a car here. Moreover, the cost of living is not low either, you need at least of RM 10.00 to get a simple meal and a drink despite our official inflation index is in the usual range of 2-3 % for more than two decades.
As such, this valuable asset is worthwhile to take care of. To enhance your asset's value, you are encouraged to have your car regularly maintained according to the manufacturer's recommendation, usually you can find at its service booklet. By doing so, you can prolong the life span of the vehicle. You are also reducing the risk of breakdown and the time you saved can be use for more productive purpose. See you can kill two birds with one stone.
We will cover in our forthcoming article on how to use the fuel for maximum advantage of your vehicle.
Another crucial area we need to address is in regard to transfer of legal title when you dispose off your vehicle to another person. If not, you may be exposed to unnecessary risk should something bad happened arising from the use of the car of which you remain the legal owner.
However, if you have other evidence to prove that you have disposed your car to the other party, then you may get yourself released from the liability. Here, you must be able to distinguish these two key terms as follow:-
Legal owner is the registered owner of the asset, may not necessary be the beneficial owner. In certain circumstances, he may not have possession of the asset. Like the above case, he has no possession of the vehicle since he has disposed off the asset to another person. However, because the subsequent owner has not effect the change of ownership, then he is still legal owner. As such, any wrong doing arising from the use of the vehicle, he will receive the ticket, compound and so on as a result of being the legal owner. This is commonly practice here especially when the seller just pass the pre-signed transfer form and other necessary documents to buyer, believing that the purchaser will transfer ownership, soonest practicable. However, thing may happen during the interim period, prior to the transfer. Alternatively, he may use the vehicle until he finds another purchaser in the hope of making some money out of the trade.
Beneficial owner is the owner who has financial interests. In the above case, the purchaser who pays the consideration in full, to the seller will be the beneficial owner, who has all the possession right and has absolute rights to use the vehicle within his possession.
However, pending the effective transfer of the legal ownership to the purchaser, the seller will be the person; authorities look for should there be any offence. As a result, the legal owner has the burden of proof to convince the courts that he is not liable for all the liabilities arising from that vehicle. He has to take all reasonable measures to ensure that the ownership transfer is effected.
We hope the above discussions have given you a good insight of how to protect your car and yourself as owner. If it is of any help to you, please be more generous and direct your circle of contacts to read this blog as well. This is important to us because we want more people to get these benefits as you do, as Valued Readers.
As usual, your feedback, both good and bad, is always welcome.
Thanks for your support and seeing you again and again.
