Best Coffee of World

I am science teacher in government school.There was a #science conference in science college in Indonesia.

I, with my friend Radha along with my friend went for #poster presentation in science conference in Indonesia .At conference place we met educators from Europe.They said"in India in villages we find some thing unique. They paste #cow dung over walls of their hut to make it #strong and cooler."

Other gentleman said"other unique thing I found is #cow urine is used as medicine in certain ailments"

In conference break fast we were served with #KOPI LUKAW. Kopi in Indonesia means #coffee while LUKAW is Indonesian cat like furry animal.It is called #civet cat.

An Indonesian educator said"this is a special and best coffee produced by our country.For its #unique flavor it is very famous all over world. Actually coffee beans are not beans.They are part of #coffee fruit shown in figure above.Civets are fed with healthy coffee fruits and #poo of civet cat is cleaned and turned into coffee."

Our other friend from Indonesia said"actually animal civet cat# intestine secrets special #enzyme and in the process acid of intestine interacts with beans and makes beans #smoother,soft and less sour in taste compare to ordinary coffee beans..Civet poo is washed and #cleaned properly and then roasted at 400 #fahrenheit temperature and then grinded to convert it to famous kopi lukaw."

My friend from Bali said"in INDIA also many companies are trying to produce Kopi Lukaw"

I said"As our educator friends from Europe find use of cow dung and cow urine very unique similarly we Indian find preparation of kopi Lukaw very unique."

Our friend from US said"though in US we drink kopi Lukaw very fondly yet there are many question marks to its preparation.Some of our scientist friend argue that we are #punishing civet cat by putting it in cage.More over this procedure is disturbing $environment cycles and equilibrium."

I said "lots of food we love eating or drinking are weird-but we do not stop them from eating if they taste good".

Tava Roti is Better than Direct Flame baked

I teach science in government school.

I asked students "what is name of gas used in your house stove.? What are its limitation."

One student said"Madam we use natural gas in our house stove.When natural gas burns it releases unhealthy amounts of pollutant in form of particulate matter ,nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide."

I said"Roti or chapati are most unique and #fundamental food available in India.They are special in sense they are prepared for lunch and dinner in many families irrespective of #social status."

Another student said"madam roties look very good as they are rolled in round shape from #wheat floor."

I said"some persons make roti and bake directly on #gas stove with help of spatula.Baking of roti is completed till it gets #brown puff.In this process of baking roti #temperature goes till 500 degree centigrade.At such a high temperature process of #pyrolysis takes place.There is more emission of #nitrogen dioxide and #carbon dioxide from gas stove.That destruct many #proteins,nutrients and fibers from roties.Including roties made by this procedure in diet of any person increases risk of #cancer.There is risk of #lung and #heart diseases."

I further added"there is another #procedure of making roties which is much better than previous one.In this procedure #tawa(shown in figure above) is made use of for making roties.Roti on tava are flipped and cooked on both sides.Temperature is #uniform and optimum on tava surface.Moreover there is no possibility of occurrence of process of #pyrolysis .With tava arrangement emission of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide is less.Hence tava roti is more nutritious compare to roti made on direct flame.

MORAL-It is better to make tava roti, It has low fat contents and is very nutritious.

ess.Hence tava roti is more nutritious compare to roti made on direct flame.

MORAL-It is better to make tava roti, It has low fat contents and is very nutritious.

Difference between LPG and LNG

I teach science in government school.I asked students "what is name of gas used in your house stove.? What are its limitation."Other student said"it is odorless gases mixture of #Hydrocarbon"

I asked"name hydrocarbon which account for about 30 percent of the #energy use?

Another student said methane.I said"natural gas is composed of 70-90 percent methane.

I asked"what other four gases present in natural gas"

Other student said"ethane,propane butane and pentane"

I said" By product of burning Natural gas is #carbon dioxide,#nitrogen dioxide and water vapours. NaturaL gas has highest energy content with a value of about 50000kJ per kilogram while coal has the lowest with a value of about 30000kJ per kg"

Another student said"Madam CNG is natural gas compressed under pressure.I know this as my car is run by CNG"

Other student said"LPG is not natural gas but is derived from natural gas processing.It has higher energy content.It is portable and available every where.I know this as in my home gas stove is run by LPG. My father runs truck by #LNG(Liquified natural gas)

I said"CNG is lighter than LNG.In case of leakage CNG goes up while LNG spreads in ground. CNG has less amount of carbon compare to LNG,therefore produces less amount of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide on combustion."

I further said"CNG is primarily made of methane,while LPG is made up of propane."

Stronger You

I am science teacher in government school. I am in charge of #co curricular activity of school. Students in my school come from various back grounds.

One of my very good student Radha lost her #mother. Her mother had cancer. She battled with #cancer for quite long time. Radha was broken due to lose of her #love that is mother. She Said"madam in my dream also never imagined that my mother, my love will go from my life so soon. "

I said "dear Radha I know it is a# irreparable lose for you. Love Affection and care of #mother is unique. Children feel so relieved when they share their problems with their #mother. Please be patient in life.Time is great #healer."

I further said"Dear Radha without your realizing new love will enter your life in one form or other. Better friends you will find in life who will teach you many good things in life. Every moment will become lesson for you as you will have to work harder than before. Absence of mother will make you more strong and wise. When God shuts down one way of help in life, he opens many other ways to help. His ways of giving help are mysterious. Be positive dear student. It is tough time of your life. It is a litmus test of your life. Be strong and make #dialogue with allmighty evey day. He will give you strength to face difficult phase of your life. "

Please Do Not Avoid Your Work

I am teaching science in government school.Some of my female students are over weight and they keep visiting doctors for some health problem or other.Some time they come to me and talk about their frustration about their health problems or over weight.

My submissions are following for my respected students and for my esteem readers.I must say I am not #physician.This knowledge which I wish to share ,I must acknowledge I acquired through my #experience.

1.instead of going to gym for exercise one can do help at home to make oneself healthy and fit.

2.if one avoids taking help from servant and do house cleaning for two hours when ever one get time.This activity involves #spending 320 calories.

3.one can try cleaning one's car(,wiping window and doors of car). With this activity one can spend 170 calorie.

4. Helping mother in #squeezing clothes. With this activity one can strengthen muscle of wrist and hands.

5.Helping mother# rolling of roti at home. With this activity one can reduce chances of #frozen shoulders.

If one plan to do physical activities at home one can avoid many physical health problems.

Some times house help are hired for status not for need.If one avoids this thinking ,then many physical problems of body can be corrected.

When we scrub our body then# hormone "endrophin" is released in body that makes us enjoy our work. Cooking good food for family releases #serotonin hormone which makes us stress free.

Moral-My humble submission is that please believe in #Hindu epic GEETA and do good karma.Please do not become #enemy of oneself by avoiding one's day to day work.

Do not Hesitate Ask Questions

I am a science #teacher in a government school. I prefer teaching students by # question-answer technique. Sometimes I show a simple #experiment to my class in the lab. I ask students to write #observation of experiment in their lab note #books.

In homework problems I ask my students to find a possible #interpretation of the experiment observation. For same problems students are allowed to consult their #NCERT book and #chemistry practical book. I also send #digital link of the same through email to make students' work simple. In this exercise, students remain #active and are forced to find the reason behind the observation of the experiment.

Some times after giving a lecture on the key concept, I show students #video or slides of the same in class. In homework problem I ask students to write #summary of what was taught in class.

I strongly believe it is better to ask #questions of relevant content rather than giving students #information directly. Question answer technique increases students #critical thinking, which goes a long way with them in #future.

I also believe in dealing with #numerical problems of particular topics. In homework problems I give my students numerical problems asked in #previous annual board examinations. Sometimes I change #units of quantity given in numerical form so that students can solve the same numerical problem in #different units.

Moral- If a teacher wishes to increase #critical thinking of his/her students, then should ask #questions to students rather than give simple information regarding the required #concept of the subject matter.

Setting Boundries For Peaceful Future

I am teaching science in a government school. My friend Manju was teaching maths in our school.

Manju got married to a gentleman who worked in the IT sector. Manju's # mother-in-law was mostly on night duty. Manju was not able to come in time to school. Manju said to me, " Madam, there is a small #problem about our timings. My mother-in-law comes back home in the #morning around 4 am. That puts #stress on my day-to-day activity, I get up early in the morning to give my respected mother-in-law tea, etc. In this exercise I don't get full dose of my sleep. This mismatch in my and my mother-in-law's timings makes me report late to school. "

I said, "Dear Maju, there are situations in life when one has to set boundaries. For this problem, you must set boundaries and convey to your respected mother-in-law with all due #respect that I cannot get up before 6 am. If I do so every day, I will not be able to reach school on time.

Manju said, "I am so hesitant to convey this problem to my mother-in-law. I am #afraid she may not like this. "

I said, "Dear Manju, by setting boundaries to your #problem, you are respecting your mother-in-law, and at the same time, you are finding the way to reach #school on time. "

I said, "Dear Manju, my friend Radha left her government job after marriage, as her school was 3 hours away from her house. All this Radha did as she has set her #boundaries to her problem that she can't spend total of 6 hours travelling for her job".

Moral - In day-to-day life, every individual faces some problem or other. But one must set one's #boundaries to problems to make life straight and peaceful.
