The health food in financial crisis
Posted by watertree under Eating
Sea-tangle has been praised as longevity food, sea vegetables, iodine winner , from the nutritional value, it is a kind of food health and longevity.
Analysis of the nutritional value of sea-tangle.
Sea-tangle is rich in carbohydrates, less protein and fat.
Sea-tangle and spinach and rapeseed compared, with the exception of vitamin C, the crude protein, sugar, calcium, iron content, several times higher, and even a few times.
Sea-tangle is a very high iodine content of seaweed. Seaweed farming in general iodine 3% ~ 5%, and more up to 7% ~ 10%.
Of disease and the health effects of
Sea-tangle like surface has a layer of white powder white- mannitol, it is a valuable medicinal substances. Modern scientific research has proved that mannitol has a lower blood pressure, diuresis and the role of swelling.
Sea-tangle contains many fatty acid EPA, can reduce blood viscosity, reduce hardening of the arteries. Therefore, eat seaweed can prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Sea-tangle is extremely rich in iodine, which is the body of the main raw material for synthetic thyroxine, shiny hair is because of the body play a role in the formation of thyroxine. Iodine can stimulate the pituitary to enable women to reduce the level of estrogen the body to restore normal ovarian function, endocrine disorders corrected to eliminate the risk of breast hyperplasia.
Sea-tangle contained microglia, can promote the body of radioactive substances excreted with faeces, thus, reduce the radioactive substance to accumulate in human body, but also reduced the incidence of radiation sickness.
Sea-tangle is rich in calcium, calcium deficiency can prevent the human body.
In recent years, scientists have found that eat sea-tangle on cancer prevention and treatment of the role.
Sea-tangle contains 60% of fucose polysaccharides, are excellent dietary fiber, diabetic patients to eat, can delay gastric emptying, and food through the small intestine of the time, so that even at the reduced insulin secretion, the blood sugar levels do not will increase, and to achieve the purpose of treatment of diabetes.
Edible seaweed obesity can reduce hunger, drawn from a variety of amino acids and inorganic salts, are very good satiety agent.
Contained in the sea-tangle Laminaria acid, is a special amino acid, which has reduced the effectiveness of blood pressure, high blood pressure and stroke prevention.
Eat sea-tangle is very good for hair
Sea-tangle is extremely rich in iodine, the element for the body of the main raw material for synthetic thyroxine. Shiny hair, that is, because of the body play a role in the formation of thyroxine. “The quality of hair,” and the skin contains ingredients from the protein content of lessons, and the protein, also have a shiny hair is an important material. Sea-tangle, in addition to containing iodine, calcium, sulfur, but also contains iron, sodium, magnesium, potassium, cobalt, phosphate, mannitol and vitamin B1, B2, C and many other substances. These nutrients, there is great benefit to the hair. Therefore, eat seaweed, on the growth of hair, black, bright has a special effect.
The protection of women’s breasts eat sea-tangle
Sea-tangle for women, not only has beauty, hairdressing, health care, such as the role of weight, but also adjuvant treatment of breast hyperplasia. Sea-tangle with ease because the role of mammary gland hyperplasia is the result of one of many containing iodine, can promote luteinization of ovarian follicles, thereby reducing the level of estrogen in vivo, endocrine disorders have been adjusted so that, eventually eliminate the risk of breast hyperplasia.
Special Note
Because now the world’s water pollution, sea-tangle, it is possible to contain toxic substances – arsenic, cooked so before soaking with water 23 hours, between two-for-water. Long time not to soak up more than 6 hours, water-soluble nutrients in order to avoid excessive losses.
Not to eat immediately after sea-tangle tea, do not eat acid fruits immediately.
The health of traffic lights
A patient suffering from anti-not to eat seaweed.
Pregnant women and lactating mothers do not eat seaweed. This is because the iodine in sea-tangle can enter the baby with the blood circulation inside the body, causing the infant thyroid dysfunction.

Bad habit of eating make you more fat in busy working
Posted by watertree under Weight loss methods
Watching TV, reading or work, your focus on other things at almost no sense of satiety. That is to say, unconsciously eat, nothing to do with hunger, it is just a habit, like biting your fingers as often. And habits can be changed, the key is, you have to realize that they were doing.
Eating while working
Obesity may be a double incentive: heat stress and the desire for food. Colleagues on the desk, put a box of chocolates or other candy, many times a day do you lose to the box?
Recommendations:
First of all, pay attention to eating regular intervals. This will enable you not excessive hunger, and thus adhere to a healthy diet.
Pay attention to the beverages you drink. Beverages not solid food, it will not let you have the feeling of satiety, but you also increase the intake of calories. 3 bottles of carbonated drinks, it contains 500 calories. If you drink a cup of coffee or tea, then you will be milk and sugar every day, the additional intake of 300 to 400 calories.
Supplementary reading: above all, do not let stress make you eat unconsciously. When you feel the need to break, may wish to exercise, walk around the office, or by way of stairs breathe.
Eating while making dinner
Evening, you are cooking, you cut the meat, and have a variety of food, not knowing a lot. Yes you have to do the individual rice 3 to 4 individuals have used the material, and that something extra to where?
Cooking at the former, you are already hungry, but all sorts of illness, did not care about you. Once home to relax down into the kitchen, the food aroma, and you just mixed a sense of hunger. Eating food while cooking the disadvantages is that you feel have not ate anything, because this experience does not make you satisfied. Thus, formally and then you ate a meal.
Recommendations:
Deal with eating food while cooking the most effective measure is to ensure that the meals you prepare at the time, not very hungry. In other words, must be made in their own blood glucose levels more stable status. To this, no time not to eat more than four hours. Therefore, in order to cultivate the habit of afternoon snacks.
Moreover, the standing to eat, easy for you to eat out of control. Eating with a bowl or dish, than directly from the bag or box out of eating better, because, large containers, you will tend to eat more.
Most people will have such a feeling of near lunch or after work, the belly will be hungry, often will affect the work efficiency, this time, may wish to eat a little snack of green, you can enhance the vitality of the brain blood vessels to help you focus.
Housewives Note: New York City recently published a survey found that young and middle-aged women in the kitchen cooking when the long-term contact with high-temperature fume, will the risk of lung cancer, increased 2-3 times.
Eating while watching television
Eat potato chips, eating ice cream, which almost became a habit after the turn on the TV action. Lot of your eating behavior, are related to the environment, such as the one you entered the cinema, eat popcorn on.
Recommendations:
In order to make this “conditioned reflex television,” solution, you may wish to turn on the TV, the first place mouth to block sugar-free gum. In this way, when you want to take food to the mouth, it is necessary to first spit chewing gum, and this process gives you time to consider their own.
If you really want to eat, then eat the skin of walnuts in the finish, the block further release sugar-free gum mouth.
Reminder: always chewing gum can increase saliva secretion, in order to better clean the mouth and teeth, but a long time to chew, will play the opposite role.
Eat with children
After dinner, leftovers Children. Although you have to eat, but eat the leftovers of the child.
Parents note: whole milk, do not let more than 2-year-old children drinking, eating chicken and duck’s head, Children easy for precocious puberty.
Recommendations:
If your child always leftovers, then, is likely to be your home too large bowl and plate, for a smaller set of tableware.
In addition, to add Child before, first ask how many want him, And give him. Such as not enough, give enough.
Drink at party
At party, you may be a little nervous, so will a lot of food to eat and drink constantly soothing effect on your emotions.
Alcohol will lower your vigilance of unconscious eating, and when you eat unconsciously, will drink too much. In this way a vicious circle formed.
Care for women: red wine does not help prevent breast cancer
Recommendations:
Before going to party, we should eat something such as a piece of bread or a small cup of yogurt in order to reduce the alcohol to enter the speed of your blood. First to add some ice cubes in wine, and then start drinking.
Dine out
Together with other people eating, people tend to eat more. Attention at this time because you do not eat at, and in conversation.
Recommendations:
Express you can not want to eat some vegetables, such as soup (you have to drink slowly blowing), spicy food (you can not swallow big mouth), as well as those who must at the same time you can eat with both hands things. If you’re hungry, then the main dish and a staple food bowl at the same time. This can avoid waiting for you at the course, but also eat a lot of things unconsciously.
Author remind: the middle-aged men did not have time to go home have dinner, has become a common phenomenon, however, has swallowed up the physical and mental health of middle-aged men.

Always eat breakfast can enhance brain function
Posted by watertree under Eating
Data have shown that eating breakfast can enhance brain function, enhance memory, improve academic performance, to promote the emotional and psychological health.
The study found that with very few children eat breakfast than those who eat breakfast usually children, will be higher than the math score of 40%.
Children do not eat breakfast there the possibility of depression and anxiety, respectively, are other children and of 4 times 3 times.
And insist children eat breakfast than those who do not eat breakfast, there ADHD and other mental illnesses the possibility of higher than 30%.
In addition, the study also showed that children do not eat breakfast, to eat breakfast, they will have great academic performance leap, at the same time, these children depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder a significant reduction in the probability.

Many photos for Mexico drug war
Posted by watertree under Funny
cxdBoston’s largest photo website, each very good, the concern about the drug problem in Mexico, a lot of adult lens, the onlookers link 34 photos.
Let my heart are the two following.
Between the United States and Mexico border wall, much like the dinosaurs back.
In December of 2006, Mexico’s new President Felipe Calderón declared war on the drug cartels, reversing earlier government passiveness.
Since then, the government has made some gains, but at a heavy price – gun battles, assasinations, kidnappings, fights between rival cartels, and reprisals have resulted in over 9,500 deaths since December 2006 – over 5,300 killed last year alone.
President Barack Obama recently announced extra agents were being deployed to the border and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton heads to Mexico today to pursue a broad diplomatic agenda – overshadowed now by spiraling drug violence and fears of greater cross-border spillover.
Officials on both sides of the border are committed to stopping the violence, and stemming the flow of drugs heading north and guns and cash heading south. (Many photos)

Broken world record wind power car
Posted by watertree under Funny
Richard Jenkins English invented the Greenbird, wind power car. March 26 morning, Richard driving it, the United States at Ivanpah Lake to a maximum speed of 202.9 kilometers / hour speed, high-speed driving, breaking the world record. Connection (have video)
Greenbird use carbon fiber composite materials and weighing 600kg, apart from the wind outside, there is no additional power. Richard put it described as a very powerful: the sand yacht + F1 hybrid car + plane.
Richard company Ecotricity, before long, will introduce the general type of wind car.
On the morning of March 26th, on the ‘dry’ Lake Ivanpah, The Ecotricity Greenbird driven by British engineer, Richard Jenkins smashed the world land speed record for wind powered vehicles.
The Greenbird clocked 126.1 mph (202.9 km/h) , eclipsing the old, American held, record of 116 mph , set by Bob Schumacher in the Iron Duck in March 1999 at the same location.
More details to come plus comments from Richard and Dale on this terrific accomplishment.

Nano-cosmetics may be harmful
Posted by watertree under Funny
Nanomaterials used in cosmetics sales promotion, is as high-tech attractions, such as, the sun more powerful and effective to kill harmful bacteria isolated. Manufacturers obviously know that if they add in their products a true nano-materials, then microorganisms are harmful.
The United States has a lot of scientists, to study the specific hazards, they say, sun cream and skincare in the nano-elements, we take a bath after finally entering the sewage system into the natural water cycle.
On the nature of the ecological cycle of an effective containment, experiments showed that a certain amount of nano-molecular implantation, a region can significantly reduce the quantity of micro-organisms. The dish was originally green, quickly turned into a dark red, shows the destruction of microbial systems.
Scientists believe that nano-materials industry, water damage microbial environment, thus undermining the self-cleaning ability of water to live and fish there is also a potential threat, to be to continue to study.
Therefore, we can not count on quality inspection department, because too high-tech, they do not understand, even the scientists are in dispute.
We do not have to worry too much, because, first, according to my experience of the products, high-tech elements, ads are generally, especially in cosmetics, will not be added to the list of true; Secondly, the micro-organisms are very powerful, anti-nano The emergence of micro-organisms, are inevitable, just as antibiotics, is now into the dessert General Microbiology.Source
Tags: micro-organisms, Nano cosmetics, nano-elements, nanoparticles, united statesNanoparticles in sunscreens, cosmetics and hundreds of other consumer products may pose risks to the environment by damaging beneficial microbes, scientists reported Tuesday.
A study by University of Toledo researchers discovered that nano-titanium dioxide used in personal care products reduced biological roles of bacteria after less than an hour of exposure. The findings suggest that these particles, which end up at municipal sewage treatment plants after being washed off in showers, could eliminate microbes that play vital roles in ecosystems and help treat wastewater.
Nano-titanium dioxide is used in many sunscreens and other personal care products to help block ultraviolet light that can cause skin cancer.
But this new report and other scientific research suggest such characteristics may come at an ecological price.
In the paper presented Tuesday at the annual conference of the American Chemical Society in Salt Lake City, researchers Cyndee Gruden and Olga Mileyeva-Biebesheimer added varying amounts of nanoparticles to water containing bacteria. The bacteria were grown in a lab and stained with a green fluorescent.
The scientists saw significant damage to the bacteria’s cell walls after adding 10 to 100 milligrams per liter of the nanosubstance. The cell membranes changed from green fluorescent to a faint red glow, which indicates damage.
How fast the cell damage occurred was surprising, said Gruden. Although the researchers did not measure survival rates, the cell wall damage indicates the bacteria lost functionality, Gruden said.
“Bacteria do not necessarily have to die to lose their biological functions,” added Gruden.
Though most of these particles stick to solids and might be filtered out at wastewater plants, a small percentage probably escapes treatment, and those particles would be discharged into lakes, streams, oceans and other waterways, said Gruden. If the beneficial microbes were damaged, environmental and human health could be harmed.
Microbes remove ammonia from wastewater treatment systems, clean up toxic waste and reduce phosphorus in lakes, all benefits that could be hindered or lost with the presence of nanoparticles.
Another study to be presented at the conference on Thursday shows beneficial soil bacteria cannot tolerate silver, copper oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles, also used in sunscreens and other products. Damage to the bacteria, which clean up organic pollutants, occurred at very low levels of exposure, equivalent to two drops in an Olympic-size swimming pool, according to the study conducted by scientists at Utah State University and University of Utah.
Researchers warned these particles could be toxic to aquatic life. “If you look up the Environmental Protection Agency’s risk level of copper to fish and other aquatic organisms, you are at that point of toxicity,” said Utah State researcher Anne J. Anderson.
The question now, said Gruden, is whether the microbes will behave the same in the more complex environment of wastewater.
“This is a preliminary study and right now there is nothing that suggests what these particles may do in the environment,” said Andrew Maynard, chief science advisor for the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies. “But this is how science works, we first look at the impact of these particles in a pristine environment and then test them out in the real world.”
The lab findings do support a trend of uncertainty growing around nanoparticles in consumer products.
“We have a real range of products that strike me as really concerning because of the gap between what we know and what I would like to know,” said Sonya Lunder, senior analyst at the Environmental Working Group.
Nanotechnology has been hailed for its benefits because of the potential ability to create drugs that could cure cancer and radiation poisoning, make miniature pollutant filters resulting in healthier air and even produce better tasting food. Excitement over these benefits has led to corporations heavily investing in the technology for their products. However, the same properties that allow nanotechnology to be valuable give it the potential to cause unforeseen consequences for ecological and human health.
Prior research has shown mice injected with carbon nanotubes developed biological damage similar to asbestos inhalation. A 2005 study in Environmental Science and Technology showed that zinc oxide particles were toxic to human lung cells.
Manipulated to 1/100,000 the width of a human hair, nanoparticles can act differently when operating at the quantum level.
“When you make something at the nanoscale it has the ability to get to places that larger material is incapable of getting to, such as cells, and creates greater surface area so you are increasing the ability to cause harm,” Maynard said.
In addition, said Maynard, some materials create new chemical properties.
Adding to the confusion over nanotechnology is the lack of scientific data on many of the particles now found in products.
“Each nanoparticle its own characteristics and we need to start getting a handle on these things and how they might interact with the environment,” Gruden said.
Nevertheless, Maynard said studies finding potential hazards with nanoparticles are not likely to keep them out of products.
“Rather than slowing down the use of these materials, really the push will be to increase the level of knowledge to handle them safely,” he said.

Wii remote control of small vehicles
Posted by watertree under Funny
Thecapacity from the jay, the use of wiimote, ioBridge modules and a toy gun, set up a small tank, through the python programming, he can use to remote control it wiimoto mobile, and aim to launch. Connect
Uh, this is also quite boring. The jay playing at their own office, arranged a small scene, figure, are printed on both Space Invaders target.
Well, now you can be in the office space for the real version of the Games of the aggressor. (^_^: That aggressors do not do dynamic, fixed target)
In the beginning you were a Starfighter, recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada… well, actually the beginning was something much simpler, something more like Space Invaders.
Space Invaders was a classic, it spurred the video game industry, inspired a vast genre, can still be played online and occasionally even in a lecture hall.
Now, you can play in my office;
Well, it would be hubris to claim that my humble beginnings have reached the same success but I do believe it has matured in much the same vein. I seem to have moved beyond building a deadly office putting toy to a serious office defense system!
This might even classify as something much more sophisticated than some Russian spy gear! Now I’m truly ready to defend my office against any and all invaders, alien or otherwise!
In truth, I’m hoping I can stash this in a friends office maybe for a surprise ambush! However, in practice it might be hard to convince someone to put on a face shield before heading to work.
Building from my previous creation I connected my wiimote to a servo via some python and my ioBridge 204 module, only this time I replaced the coilgun with a remotely triggered airsoft gun! Now there are no more issues with reloading a weapons system half a world a way after each shot!
Here is the action sequence;

Food nutrition mistakes make you surprised
Posted by watertree under Eating
I do not know what time from the start, there is food in the nutrition, beginning with the views of a model.
Referred to certain nutrients, some thought must give people food, and certain foods that tend to make people think of some of the ingredients and nutrition.
For example, when it comes to vitamin C, people will immediately think of lemons and oranges; one that potassium, people would immediately think of the banana; carotene that one, people will certainly think of a carrot; one that spinach, will immediately want to drafting acid; 1 celery said, would immediately think of blood pressure … …
In fact, the health of the role of food, should not this model are of. A lot of food nutrition facts, will make us very surprised! Do not believe it? See below some examples of the nutritional value of food:
- Who is the winner potassium in food?
Potassium contained in taro, bananas and more than 50%. In fact, all the tubers are an excellent source of potassium. As long as rice put into the same content in potato starch, potassium intake can be increased by 10 times!Some people, such as diabetes, kidney stone patients, patients with gout, high blood pressure patients, as well as those who like to eat salty, it is easy to excessive loss of potassium, eat potato alternative staple food, it is a good idea.
In fact, green leafy vegetables, the potassium content of more than there is a lot of bananas, such as spinach, Kale, lettuce leaf, water spinach, amaranth, and other Gynura. Now that Americans eat the rich variety green vegetable, why must the people do not like vegetables like bananas to resort to this?
- Really good source of magnesium
Magnesium for strong bones, control blood pressure, are very important, also known as the “anti-stress nutrients.” When it comes to magnesium, however, people will usually think of bananas. In fact, it is only the fruit of Mg only winner.
Almost all the dark green leafy vegetables are good sources of magnesium, the content be able to meet or exceed the level of banana. The reason is simple: each of the chlorophyll molecules which contain a magnesium ion, so the more color green, the more magnesium.
Another of the best sources of magnesium are nuts and seeds category, such as eating 50 seeds Kersee, it is equivalent to eating 200 grams of magnesium green vegetable. However, green leafy vegetables the heat, only one-third of the banana, nuts about the one-twentieth. Therefore, if you afraid fat, then eat green vegetable added potassium and magnesium, is the best choice.
- Do not eat fruits and vegetables can also add vitamin C
Tomato is generally believed that vegetables are the best of vitamin C, in fact, potatoes contained in vitamin C than tomatoes more! Not only potatoes, sweet potato, taro, yam tubers and other foods containing a lot of vitamin C. Among a variety of green leafy vegetables contain vitamin C, almost all over tomatoes.
Indeed green vegetables are vitamin C in the Championship, but it is lower acidity, vitamin C loss in the cooking which is relatively large. Even though the vitamin C content of potatoes is only one-third of green, but because of starch on the vitamin C has a strong protective effect, potatoes in the cooking process of a small loss of vitamin C. Therefore, if to do with potatoes staples, even if not to eat other fruits and vegetables, vitamin C is also able to meet the needs of the human body. Northerners miss a meal over the past winter vegetables, a lot of people do not lack vitamin C, because they often use potatoes and sweet potato as the staple food.
- Summary
To learn more about the nutritional value of food must not only remember that some so-called “representatives”, in fact, a lot of the nutritional value of food is not bad than they are, but no more than less well-known. Therefore, a healthy diet do not have to rigidly adhere to a certain food, the most important thing is reasonable with all kinds of food. You do not like a food, can be used to replace other foods. – This is not a more relaxed, more happy?

Hero teacher scales 300ft cliff saved pupils trapped
Posted by watertree under Funny
Kingsley School English town of Bideford climbing groups, resulting in the unfortunate event of a strong wind and high tide, nine 16-year-old students and two accompanying teachers trapped. Connect
A teacher assistant at the school after the discovery, in the absence of safety equipment, the 200ft climb up the cliff and save the trapped students.
Of course, is not a person to save him, and at that time, the Coast Guard helicopter, lifeboats, are dispatched. However, this behavior of teachers is still very dangerous.
Things happen in the United Kingdom Hartland Point, Mar 26.
A heroic teaching assistant scaled a 300ft cliff to save a group of terrified pupils who had become trapped by a fast-rising tide.
The man scrambled up the steep cliff-face without safety equipment to raise the alarm after nine schoolchildren were left stranded on the rocks below.
The 16-year-old pupils and two male members of staff were taking part in climbing activities when they were caught out by the tide in strong winds.
The group from Kingsley School in Bideford, Devon, arrived at the beach early yesterday afternoon to begin their climb at Hartland Point.
They tried to make their way around the bay to the safety of the car park but the water level became too high and they could not move from the rocks.
With no phone signal, the group was unable to call for help, and so the teaching assistant, who has not been named, risked his life to scale the towering cliff.
Chris Johns, a nearby hotel manager, noticed the man on the rock face and called the emergency services before he reached the summit.
The stranded party was then winched to safety by an RAF rescue helicopter from RMB Chivenor, but strong winds forced the Sea King helicopter to haul them up two at a time.
One teenager was taken to hospital with minor injuries after being hit by falling rocks but was later released.
Helicopter pilot Ft Lt John Evans said although the lifeboat was on scene, the big waves meant ‘a rescue with a lifeboat wasn’t going to be a practical option’.
A spokeswoman for the Maritime Coastguard Agency said: ‘The sea was very rough and it was quite windy.’
‘They didn’t have climbing gear and it was amazing the man managed to get up the cliffs. They were in a risky situation and it was difficult for the helicopter to rescue them.
‘Although the cliff was not sheer it was steep. The shale was very loose it was dangerous to climb it. The students were all shaken from their ordeal.’
Mr Johns, manager of Hartland Quays Hotel, said he was amazed the man had made it to the top.
‘The sea was rough and there was a high wind. I noticed something on the cliff then I realised it was someone climbing the cliff,’ he said.
‘And when I looked back again I realised there were some more people on the bottom.
‘The tide had come in so far that there was only 10 to 15 foot left of the beach. It was a risky situation.’
Andy Waters, joint headmaster at Kingsley School said that the school was satisfied that all safety policies and risk assessments were followed correctly.
Cliff climberStranded: The school party wait to be rescued
But he said it has now changed its policy to prevent climbing from taking place in the three hour period before a high tide, extending the current guidelines.
He also added they were also looking into having a cliff-top spotter to compensate for the lack of phone signal.
‘The group were fully and correctly equipped, led by a qualified person, and were climbing at a familiar venue as part of a regular activity session,’ Mr Waters said.
He insisted the group were not in any danger because they remained above the high tide at all times.
‘The group walked from the minibus to the beach. Having traversed into the bays north of the car park the group turned round but were unable to retrace their route safely due to the water level in the final bay,’ he said.
Tags: Cover, pupils trapped, Regular, united kingdom‘They were unable to get a phone signal and could not alert anyone. They had the choice of remaining there until the water level dropped, or seeking help.
‘The assistant climbed to the top of the headland with the aim of going to the hotel to report the delay to school. He did very well to do that.’
Mr Waters thanked the coastguard and rescue services involved in the operation.
Phill Coles, Watch Officer, Swansea Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre, said the incident served as a reminder that people visiting the coast should be familiar with the tides.
‘Always be prepared and plan your walk by familiarising yourself with the tides, wear appropriate clothing and always ensure that someone knows what your itinerary is,’ he said.
‘Never attempt to climb a cliff and risk the safety of your own life and others.’
