Why you should drink lemon water every morning
Some people prefer a glass of hot tea, coffee, or just a glass of water. However, here is a habit that is worth practicing every day.
Go grab a glass and pour warm water and squeeze a half cut lemon into it. Did you know that the benefits of lemon even double when it consumed with warm water? Drink a glass of lemon water every morning and rejuvenate yourself.
Yes, lemon water is good for your health. It is especially beneficial for your skin by giving you healthy, glowing skin. Unbelievably, natural ways are always the best: it is easy, not expensive and prevents skin from aging.
Scientific research has verified the incredible benefits of drinking lemon. Drinking lemon water every day in the morning right after waking up helps to combat pimples and acne. It is highly recommended by doctors and cosmetologist. No wonder lemon is a common ingredient of cosmetics. The natural antiseptic and high levels of vitamin C inside lemon work best on the body to prevent skin from infection and cure any skin problems. When your skin gets burned, you might need to dab a little honey and lemon onto the burned area.
Lemon is a good source of vitamin C. It repairs damaged skin cells and prevents wrinkles. Collagen is responsible for the elasticity of skin. When you hit the age 40, your skin elasticity begins to stop permanently. If you are teenagers, you better take care of your skin and consider starting the good habit of drinking lemon water in the morning.
Lemon also holds an antioxidant that is a very effective anti-skin aging agent. Antioxidants combat damaging free radicals and remove it completely from your body. However, watch your meals and lifestyle to balance them with the benefits of lemon.
Besides making your skin feel 10 years younger, lemon also is beneficial for digestion, hair care, prevention of diabetes, fever, high blood pressure and many other health problems.
The high vitamin C levels in lemons also boosts your immune system, helping you fight off any viruses and bacteria and block yourself from any possible illness. The alkaline and high amount of potassium help to energize your body and protect it from any physical ailments.
Drinking lemon water in the morning when your stomach is still empty pushes all the toxins out of your body. Lemon increases the frequency of urination, which is highly important to eliminate toxins. It prevents stomachache, cramps and softens the digestive process.
If you want to lose some weight, drinking lemon water is the easiest way to achieve your goal. The citric acid in lemon slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, which fat destroys by a blood sugar spike. Using lemon water as a part of dieting is very common nowadays and it works. Do note that it is always better to use warm water than cold water.
In addition, lemon water helps your hair grow stronger and healthy. The antioxidant helps prevent dandruff, hair loss and gives your hair a shiny look.
Lemon undeniably has amazing natural benefits for your body, from your hair to your toes. So drink a glass of lemon water daily and notice the incredible changes. (kes)

GHANA HOSTS YOUNG AFRICAN LEADERS INITIATIVE TRAINING PROGRAMME
A training
programme for the second cohortof theYoung African Leaders Initiative
(YALI) has begun at the West Africa Regional Leadership Center (RLC)
which is hosted by the Ghana Institute of Management and Public
Administration (GIMPA) in Accra.
One Hundred and five participants from
Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, Liberia, Togo, Cote D’Ivoire
and Burkina Faso are attending the five-week training programme.
In an address at the opening of the
training programme in Accra, yesterday, Dr Victor Osei, Project
Director, YALI RLC West Africa, Accra, said the training programme was
an opportunity to help improve the well-being of Africa and the
continent’s future leaders.
Dr Osei said the goal of the Accra RLC
was to educate and motivate the youth to make positive changes in their
communities, their countries and in Africa as a whole.
In his remarks, Nana Osei-Bonsu, Chief
Executive Officer (CEO), Private Enterprise Federation, Ghana (PEF
Ghana), stressed the need for the training programme to be grounded in
practicality and serve as a tool box of leadership training that would
empower participants to influence policy and build their capacities to
create and manage businesses as well as empower their communities with
enhanced livelihood opportunities.
Nana Osei-Bonsu pledged the commitment
of PEF Ghana to partnering the YALI Project and to providing internship
opportunities for participants to build their capacities in
entrepreneurship, business leadership and corporate governance through
its Africa Development Bank Project to train more than 1,000 Small and
Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
In a key note address, Mr Alex Duprais,
Mission Director, United States Agency for International Development
(USAID), West Africa, lauded the YALI Project as a way of nurturing
Africa’s youth and an avenue for transforming the future of communities
in Africa.
Mr Duprais expressed delight that the YALI Project included women in Science and Technology.
YALI is a signature effort launched by
the President of U.S.A., Barrack Obama, in 2010 to invest in the next
generation of African leaders by supporting young African leaders to
spur growth and prosperity, strengthen democratic governance, enhance
peace and security, and shape the future of business and
entrepreneurship, civic leadership and public management across Africa.
In 2012, USAID awarded two grants
totalling US$1.3 million to support the core principles of YALI such as
professional training, access to mentorship and networking opportunities
in Africa, with the aim of increasing public and private sector
engagement with the continent and enriching young leaders' potential to
contribute to economic, political, and social development of Africa.
And in July 2014, President Obama announced the creation of YALI RLCs in Africa toprovide quality leadership training,support entrepreneurship and enhance professional development and networking.
The Accra Centre has been established
with support from USAID Ghana, The MasterCard Foundation— whose mission
is to advance youth learning and promote financial inclusion to catalyze
prosperity in developing countries— Microsoft, Webster and Notre Dame
Universities, and Africa 2.0 Foundation,a pan-African civil society
organisation that provides a platform for emerging and established
African leaders to drive forward the transformation of Africa.
Other sponsors are PEF Ghana— a
non-profit, non-political, autonomous institution and the apex Business
Council of Ghana— Ecobank Ghana and Vodafone Ghana.

Top 10 Signs You’re Telepathic
Posted by Ari Lakakis in Spirit Division Blog with 50 Comments
Signs you’re telepathic can be obvious. If you’ve ever been able to transmit, know, or manipulate thoughts with only the use of your mind, then you may be telepathic. So, keep reading and see which signs relate to you.
Signs You're Telepathic
People think of telepathy as being an isolated skill or a difficult and rare ability which is unreachable by the average folk. This in not true. Telepathy is present in each one of us, at least to a certain degree.
For example, when you meet a new friend or partner, you first connect with this person at an energetic level. People enter your aura even before you meet them physically.If you pay more attention to your thoughts during the day and study your dreams after each night, then you’ll sense what your dreaming self has prepared for you to experience in your physical life.
Think of your life like a beautiful theatrical play. Firstly, this play kicks off in your dreams, as you decide to have certain experiences based on your beliefs and expectations. In your physical life, you’ll notice a delay between your initial thought and the time it takes to become a real event.
Secondly, you have free will. If you learn to observe yourself in your daily life, your “Play” becomes more apparent. You discover that your learning essential abilities and solving vital problems. All of these events are for your learning purposes, designed by your inner or dreaming self to guide and expand your metaphysical abilities.
Now, telepathy has a great role to play in all of this. People you meet in your future are first contacted telepathically by your inner self. To some degree you make friends with those who have many similarities with you .Those similarities are transmitted telepathically and energetically, first and foremost.
You know a little bit about the Law of Attraction, right?
No
Yes
What causes telepathy?
Telepathy is the ability to communicate information using your mind. Information is transmitted from one mind to another using means other than then your well-known perceptual senses. Telepathy ranges from the basic reading of minds to more intense power, such as implanting or disrupting thoughts in other people’s minds. There’s no one-size-fits-all reason as to why someone becomes a telepath.
But there are a few common ones. For example, there are those who are simply born with a sense of knowing. These people talk about seeing spirits and various other apparitions. But they tend to suppress their abilities as children and often lose it as adults. Alternatively, a life-changing event may open them up to being telepathic and exploring their gift even further.
Also, there are times when a near-death experience or serious accident can also open someone up and cause a telepathic awakening. And in a some cases, hypnosis or healing sessions can help a sixth sense to awaken. Such sessions help with getting energy flowing and causing a shift in awareness and consciousness.
These signs you’re telepathic might help you gain more clarity and control.
I know it can be a confusing and scary time if you’re experiencing a surge in you telepathic abilities. I want to help sooth your worries.
For that reason, I wrote 10 common signs to help you gain some clarity. I hope you find them useful on your amazing journey.
1. You experience tingling sensations.
You begin developing your third eye area—the space between your eyebrows in your Chakra system. This happens for one of two reasons: either your Chakras are opening up or you are picking up specific energy signals.
The tingling sensation can be highly evident during the developmental stages, but it’s harmless and eventually subsides.
2. You connection to spirit surges.
You feel a stronger connection to the spirit world. It’s becomes increasingly easier for you to sense a presence. Whether its your loved one’s or someone elses’ loved ones. Mediumship tends to be a natural progression for those following a telepathic awakening.
3. You want to avoid negativity.
You find you’re picking up on other people’s emotions and feeling really easily. This gift is referred to as being an Empath. It comes about when your sensitivity levels increase. Also, you’ll find that being surrounded by dramatic, negative people drains you. You should honor your feelings and stay away from toxic and negative people when you can.
4. You want healthy and nourishing foods.
If you’re suddenly pushing aside the double burger and reaching for a salad it could mean you’re becoming more intuitive and beginning to vibrate at a higher frequency. So even without realizing it, you may be reaching for higher vibrational foods like fruit and vegetables. These types of foods prevent you being weighed down and help to keep vibrations light.
5. You want to read and learn more about spirituality.
If you’re becoming telepathic, then you’ll likely develop an appetite to learn. As you begin opening up and shedding your old skins, you remember the light of your soul and find that you desire to read up spiritual development surges, as you prepare to embark on you growth, transformation, and evolution.
6. You have frequent vivid dreams that give more signs you’re telepathic.
If your dreams become more frequent, and particularly vivid, then it’s another sign telepathic abilities are rising. When you sleep there is no resistance and your mind doesn’t interfere with what you intuitively receive. And as you open up, it becomes easier to reach higher levels of consciousness like a dream state. Start keeping a dream journal next to your bed. You’ll find it incredibly helpful.
7. You experience heightened sensitivity of your telepathic senses.
If you feel that your sense of hearing have heightened, or you see twinkles of light or a “something” just out of the corner of your eye, it means your telepathic senses are opening up and strengthening. This is a progressive and completely normal part of the telepathic process.
8. You receive intuitive hits.
Do you often sense something’s about to happen? Or you receive a type of third eye vision?
Some people find this type of intuition frightening and others find it exciting. If you feel afraid, set the intention that you won’t receive scary messages or visions or that you won’t receive intuitive hits, if there’s not much you can do about a situation.
Spirit guides honor such requests from us. Unfortunately, if you set your intention to this, you’ll be hindering your telepathic abilities. It is better to believe 100% in your psychic abilities and embrace them, only then can you improve your talents.
When you try to achieve any task, you must never doubt yourself. In telepathy this is particularly correct, since disbelievers are barely ever capable of uncovering their telepathic talents.
9. You get reoccurring headaches.
Although awful, the headaches are common and their cause is an influx of energy. If you want to try to combat the headaches, try soaking your feet in warm water. It will help you ground the energy and carries it away from your head.
Adding essential oils or Epsom salts to the water are a great way to relax further. If you feel you should, consult a doctor to ensure there aren’t any underlying causes.
10. You begin to lose old friends and make new ones.
If you’re on the path to a telepathic awakening, it’s an exciting one. Your soul is about to grow tremendously and with that you may find yourself outgrowing certain friends, and some things that you used to find important no longer are. Just go with it. The universe will put new people in your path. You just need to continue to trust.
Conclusion
When you first experience telepathy, the territory is likely to feel unfamiliar and strange. These feelings are entirely normal. You have nothing to fear. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The time is ripe for your growth and evolution. Your excitement should be elevated and your awareness amplified.
The truth is you can continue the development of your telepathic gifts by accepting them and allowing them to take their natural course. The points I mentioned above may resonate with you. If so, I suggest you continue nurturing your gift and see where it takes you as a telepath.
As always, thank you for reading. If you feel this post would be helpful and useful to your friends and family, then remember to share it with them too.
Have a story to tell?
If you experienced signs you’re telepathic, then why not share your comments, thoughts and stories with our little tribe, because you have the power to inspire or help someone who might need a little boost.

Recycling glass fibre reinforced composites – history
and progress (Part 1)
The difficulty of recycling GRP,
such as these waste trims, is a stumbling block in industries where the
pressure to recycle is high. (Picture © Filon Products.)

Typically made from PP, but this one is 100% recycled with glass fibres from
ground GRP recyclate and in-house PP waste, resulting in a stiffer, stronger
product with no increase in cost. (Picture © Stella Job.)

The world is going through a low carbon
revolution and the potential for composites to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
is clear. But the difficulty of recycling glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP)
is a stumbling block particularly in construction and automotive where the
pressure to recycle is high.
The European Composites Industry
Association (EuCIA) states that GRP is
“recyclable and compliant with EU legislation,” and it is (see EuCIA issues
position paper on recycling of glass reinforced thermoset composites).
But at present facilities exist only in Germany to recycle, which for companies
in UK, for example, is prohibitively expensive and not environmentally friendly
due to the effect of transport, leaving the option only to landfill.
To what extent is GRP economically recyclable, and therefore
actually being recycled? How much would it affect markets for GRP if there were
fully functioning, economically sustainable, geographically widespread
recycling supply chains?
Several articles in Reinforced Plastics have advised us
of the development of pyrolysis based carbon fibre recycling processes and
these are now commercially available in several places since the launch of
Milled Carbon (now ELG Carbon Fibre) in the
West Midlands, UK. But the value of carbon fibre is around ten times that of
glass, so while commercialising these processes has not been easy, it has been
'easier' than finding recycling routes for GRP, despite the much smaller
volumes (76,000 tonnes carbon fibre reinforced plastic compared to about 1
million tonnes GRP parts produced in Europe in 2012, according to AVK's 2012 market report).
Cement
kiln route – how does it work
|
Incineration of GRP is not
practical since about 50-70% of the material is mineral and would be left as
ash, which still needs to be landfilled. For co-processing in cement kilns,
composite parts are size-reduced and mixed with other waste to feed into the
kilns.
GRP typically contains E-glass,
which is usually alumino-borosilicate, along with an organic resin and often
calcium carbonate filler. When fed into a cement kiln the organic resin burns
providing energy (about 12 MJ/kg of waste) and the mineral constituents
provide feedstock for the cement clinker.
The clinker is ground to form
cement. Any calcium carbonate calcines (releasing carbon dioxide) to calcium
oxide, the primary component of Portland cement. Alumina and silica also have
cementitious properties in an alkaline environment and are typically present
in Portland cement at about 25%, and in much higher proportions in cement
alternatives from fly-ash and slag. Boron, which is found in most E-glass,
can cause a reduction in early strength during the setting of cement, but as
long as proportions are kept low it is not considered a problem (ref: Pickering, Benson, Recovery of material
and energy from thermosetting plastics, Proceedings, ECCM6 – Recycling
concepts and procedures, 1993.

The recycling process supported by
EuCIA, and available in Germany, involves the addition of GRP waste to cement
kilns. This gains value from all parts of the composite and is commercially
active in Germany through the route known as Compocycle, operated by Zajons and feeding
Holcim’s cement kilns. However there is still a significant gate fee for the
process. In Germany regulations leave no option to landfill so the volumes of
GRP waste are sufficient to justify such a process. Composite manufacturers
such as Fiberline in Denmark have
supported that process, being close enough to take advantage of it. But this
route reduces the value of the material to that of calcium carbonate and at
present is not economic compared to landfill where landfill is an option.
Mechanical
grinding
Recycling of GRP by mechanical
grinding has been happening for several decades. Back in the 1970s the late
Wolfgang Unger was developing his proprietary Seawolf technology in Florida,
US, to grind fibreglass scrap and use it for replacing rotten boat transoms or
incorporate it using spray-up equipment for making bathtubs and other products.
Unger’s company is now called Eco-Wolf and is managed by his daughter
SabineCorinna Unger. Eco-Wolf has recently (2011) partnered with Global Fiberglass Solutions
which is seeking to build and manage facilities to collect and recycle
fibreglass across the US, having developed applications such as railroad ties
(railway sleepers).
ERCOM Composite Recycling GmbH was
established in Germany in 1990 to recycle automotive production and post-use
waste by shredding and grinding graded parts into powder, to be used in new
sheet moulding compound (SMC) in proportions up to 20% (ref: George Marsh,
Facing up to the recycling challenge, Reinforced Plastics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2001,
pages 22-26). ERCOM terminated in 2004. This approach of grinding
GRP to fine powder for use as filler is well established in several industries,
but as with the cement kiln route, it reduces the value of the material to that
of calcium carbonate, which can be purchased at very low cost (around £200/tonne).
In addition, it requires a significant amount of energy input to grind the
material finely. Thus apart from some in-house recycling (see below), attempts
to commercialise this as a recycling route have failed.
In the UK two roof light
manufacturers now recycle some of their own waste by grinding. Filon Products has invested in machinery
to grind their in-house GRP waste and incorporates it into a range of products
including roofing sheet, valley gutters and flat sheet for signage. They are
now investigating using the recyclate in moulding compounds.
Hambleside Danelaw (HD) is
similarly grinding waste, and offers a take-back scheme for products at end of
life. They have been involved in trials in numerous products over the last 10
years or so. Initially they worked with Dundee University using the recyclate
in foamed concrete which had some advantages, but the reduction in slump
(effectively increased viscosity) meant that it did not flow easily into
moulds. In 2007-2008 in the UK several trials were undertaken through the BeAware
project (Built Environment Action on Waste Awareness and Resource Efficiency)
to incorporate GRP waste into precast concrete and rubber products.
Improvements in properties were demonstrated, but again results were not
commercialised.
However HD has found that there is more
value in separating off the glass fibres from the resin powder to re-use as
reinforcement. They have trialled this in new glass fibre mats for valley
gutters and also in thermoplastic composites. In addition to glass fibre
reinforced polyester products, they manufacture building products from
injection moulded polypropylene (PP) and other polymers. Adding the short glass
fibres to the PP increases strength and stiffness as well as reducing the PP
content and therefore the cost of the injection moulded products. They are
exploring ways to widen applications and so reach a place where they can take
waste from other companies to process and sell back into new products.
As a responsible business we feel
that we have to look at a circular economy and take responsibility for the
products we manufacture. We can’t keep throwing things into holes in the
ground, because a) there aren’t enough holes, and b) the cost of landfill is
increasing.

Similar work has been done by Mixt
Composites Recyclables (M-C-R) in France, a
subsidiary of Plastic Omnium Auto Exterieur. M-C-R manufactures moulding
compounds and takes back process waste from its clients which is ground and
re-integrated into new compounds for automotive parts. The recyclate is finely
ground to about 50 microns to replace filler.
Sébastien Masson, R&D Project
Manager at M-C-R, explains that the added value is in the environmental aspect,
or in respecting incentives to recycle/increase recycled content.
M-C-R also extracts longer fibres
from less finely ground recyclate and sells this as a substitute for PP fibres
in cement floor screeds, where the fibres limit cracking during the early
setting of the cement. This has been validated in trials by CERIB (Centre
d’Etudes et de Recherches de l’Industrie du Béton). They have also done some
studies compounding the fibres in thermoplastics, though this is not yet
commercially active.
In Belgium, Reprocover manufactures
manhole covers, valve chambers and other construction products using ground
thermoset industrial waste including GRP and clean waste fibres from nearby
glass fibre reinforcement manufacturer, 3B-the
fibreglass company. They have recently developed a bi-block railway
sleeper with excellent vibration absorbing qualities which is currently
undergoing detailed testing for approval to replace timber railway sleepers.
Timber railway sleepers are likely to be phased out in Europe due to
legislation which is expected to come into force in 2018 relating to the
carcinogen effect of the creosote used to treat them, so railway companies are
actively seeking alternatives. This could be a useful growth market application
for waste GRP. ♦
